A Cold Bloom

A cold bloom, stay back
my arms retract
I won't hear a word
Say not styles
heartbeats smiles
I don't, feel a curse
It wouldn't be honest of me, A promise from the start.
I want to be everything confide envy tonight
I want to be anything apart from glimpse of ghosts
I want to be everything but lost
My eyes they weep
Your face they keep
I try embracing chance
don't cry your heart
is not as dark
the sky that rains on me
For you to find
For you to find, For you to find
Believing I won't go, I'm running out
Believing you won't stop, I'm running out
Let's talk regrets, one last regress
This ends peacefully

Thieves
03:51

How am I to rescue and who am I to rescue you
Pick you up and take the pain away away
How am I to hold on and why am I to hold on to you
Be your shield and wipe the tears away
away
Oh are we blind just another attempt to take to me for a fool
It hurts inside But thieves are known for breaking all the rules...
how am I to carry, and who am I to carry you
And be the one to take the pain away away
how am I to capture and who am I to capture you
be your strength and wipe the tears away away
Your hands enjoy the silence it's not fair
your hair the smell of science I don't care
I don't I don't I don't
how am I to latch on and who am I to latch on to you
hold you up and tear the pain away away
how am I to listen and who am I to listen to you
hold your lungs and take your breath away away

Play Dead
04:45
|

Is it really worth it now the time you take but you're never gonna take it
Is it really worth it now and I would say not so
Is it really strange right now that I could sleep but I would never want to wake up
Is it really strange somehow the need to feel alone
But I'm not over you and not over this
so I guess I'll have to play dead
Is it really worth it how I ignorantly drone
Its obvious you're through with this
I wish that I could say the same for me
It's hard to feel the way you thought of it
When it wasn't quite the same as me
Is it really wrong sometimes to hide the sun while you're waiting for the night time
is it really wrong at times to lie within the rain
Is it really odd just how your sheets are warm but your stomach doesn't feel right
Is it really odd somehow the moon can share your pain
But I'm not over you and not over this
so I guess I'll have to play dead
Is it really worth it how I ignorantly drone
When you fall in when you fall
when you fall
Think about it about it all
Think about it all
When you fall in when you fall
when you fall
Like you wanted and you won
Is it really strange right now that I could sleep but I would never want to wake up
is it really strange right now the need to feel alone
But I'm not over you and not over this
so I guess I'll have to play dead
Is it really worth it how I ignorantly drone

Patience
04:21
|

Wait on your patience stay on your laments and you oughta know
when you're underestimated
prey to your patience slave to your cadence
but you want to know, are you an ordinary presence.
all that's said is dead and gone
your heart was not affected once not once.
well you never wanted anything you said was not worth fighting
what were you fighting for
you weren't the only one fallin apart but I'm dying just to save you
Wait for your patience stay with your laments
if you're gonna show your ever ending statements
Prey for your patience a slave to your cadence
but you oughtta know that you're an ordinary presence
While you and I have stones we want to throw
I can't deny I've broken all the bones in your soul
Just to save you
And my craving hurts but I'll decide
that you decide you decided
in my raging urge but all aside
while you decide you decided
to go the other way
well I saw your face the other day and you looked fine
and I started to think that you would miss me
but I went the other way

The Summit

Carry yourself hard and carry yourself on and your honesty
you will not be me and I will not be you are you wanted here
but you wont be far far from me when you need me most
carry yourself hard and carry yourself on when your honesty is gone
Even love has no fear to die forever
Even I will see you there to warn the safety
you're not the best not the best in a long time
I feel you shakin you're longing to run
Carry yourself hard and carry yourself on, and your honesty
lead me to the top lead me to the top are we all alone
but you won't see me there without your heart without your heart
Step outside the edge step outside the edge and you're faster after all
In a crowded view a crowded view I'm not that better
its hard for me to say
that I'm proud of you I'm proud of you, are you feeling better
Its hard for me this way
Carry yourself hard and carry yourself on, and your honesty
take me around take me around is it cold in here
but you want it all one of me the best of you
carry yourself hard carry yourself on when your honesty is gone

Girl Made of City
03:34
|

When we're around, she is so pretty
The talk of the town, the girl made of city
Girl made of city
We sit here, what seems like a long time
But never a long time to feel the breath of motion
Keep sincere the attic is leaking
The static is shrieking to feel the warmth of the ocean
Late at night I imagine her smiling.
It's 3am but I am not hiding
She speaks in my ears her words are not lying.
but she disappears and I started crying
I started crying
It's my design that keeps me from your toes
The voice inside that's keeping me alone
In modest need of loving you is so
I take apart my heart for you
When I'm around she is so pretty
The love of my life, the girl made of city
Girl made of city

Talk to Me
04:38
|
|||
I'm carelessly consumed, apart from me is you
Tell me something
Like tape across my eyes hard to recognize
Say something
Does it really hurt there
That isn't much worse than my mistakes my mistakes
Does it really hurt there
It isn't much worse than my mistakes my mistakes
The sight of sinners gaze streak across my face
Show me nothing
We're lost within a dream made for you and me
So say something
Talk to me Talk to me
Speak to me Speak to me

Heart Stone
04:18
|
|||
I found a reason I found a reason
That I don't love you for a long time ago
I found a reason I found a reason
That I wouldn't want to with miles left go
But you don't have to remind me
That you were meant to fly
And when you lay beside me
I feel the hurt inside eyes
Don't let your Heart stone break
Let your heart stone break
Don't break down
It's been a long time It's been a long time
Since I found you since I found once before
And I don't need you and I don't need to
Explain to cancer why I don't want it anymore
Well you don't want me here
well I can't make you understand
reach inside your ear
and I will try to understand
There's nothing for me here
But you can't deny its safe
Don't let your heart stone break
Let your heart stone break
Don't break down

Wings
04:16
|

How do we know this is not fear itself that hides itself in me
How do we know this is not reasoning
How am I sure this is not compromise that sets its eyes on me
How am I sure of all of this black that fills the night
Let me put my wings back on
Let me put my wings back on and fly away
Why can't I see that this was never meant irrelevant to me
Why can't I see that I am pulling teeth
How do we know this is not selflessness that takes its best from me
How am I sure of all this evergreen in my eyes
Haven't you felt the rain and how it falls down
In your eyes
A crack in the picture frame its hold on but its leaking out
its leaking out
Haven't you felt the rain and how it falls down
in your eyes
A crack in the painters tape its holding on but its leaking out
its leaking out
How do we know this is not fear itself that hides itself in me
How do we know this is not reasoning

Selfish
03:58
|
|||
I said too much but not enough
They said that it hurts but it always hurts
When you stay away my thoughts turn grey
One love apart one lonely art
and I want you all my own
As i'm reaching for the phone
I hope you are all alone
I am selfish
Oh selfish me
While the nights are strong too strong to touch
My dreams are safe not safe enough
You make me smile will you stay awhile
And dance with the moon I will be there soon
And I want you all my own
As I'm reaching for the phone
I am scared and all alone
I am selfish
whoa selfish me!
Selfish me!!!
Yeah
We said too much but not enough
They said that it hurts but it always hurts
