You Don't Know

So come on
You know you’ve got to let it go
And no control can keep you
Oh no, you don’t know
No more need for reasons
All the colours bleeding
See so far and be so close
You don’t know
You don’t know
What you bought for what you sold
You don’t know
Say you’ll kiss the night
to let the day unfold
And in the light, I’ll show you
Oh no, you don’t know
No more need for reasons
All the colours bleeding
See so far and be so close
Cause you don’t know
You don’t know
What you bought for what you sold
You don’t know
Come clean
Come with me
See where it leads to
Be clear
Be better
Than you know
You don’t know
You don’t know
What you bought for what you sold
You don’t know
You don’t know
You don’t know
What you bought for what you sold
You don’t know oh no
You don’t know

Stay
03:18
|
|||
|
Crawling in circles around me
I’m always going
Azures and oceans all keep me away
Alone here When I want to hold you
So just stay
Wide awake with me
You’re laying here next to me
I just want you to stay
To the end with me
Never going away Stay
Seeing the best in everything and always growing
Lately it’s more than too much
Cause I’m all alone here and I want to hold you
So just stay
Wide awake with me
You’re laying here next to me
I just want you to stay
To the death with me
Never going away
Stay with me
Through wake and sleep
Through night and day
Won’t you stay?
Stay Wide awake with me
You’re laying here next to me
I just want you to stay
To the end with me
Never going away
Will you stay?
Stay

Learned My Lesson
03:23
|
|||
|
Gone to ground
All my purpose caught
Seems like I’ve lost myself again
The more I try
Cannot count this cost
And I’m left stuck here in this place
I’ve learned my lesson well
I won’t trust again
I’m left to live this out
Deserving is nothing
I’ve had it
I’ve had enough
Gone to ground
All my purpose caught
Seems like I’ve lost myself again
The more I try
Cannot count this cost
And I’m left stuck here in this place
I’ve learned my lesson well
I won’t trust again
I’m left to live this out
Deserving is nothing
I’ve had it
I’ve had enough
I’ve had it
I’ve had enough
Too much to keep so close
The way you let me down
I can’t seem to escape
So I bury one more mistake
I’ve had it
I’ve had enough
I’ve had it
I’ve had enough

Feel Alive
03:21
|
|||
|
Shallow and empty
But all it takes to bring me down
I know I’m growing
It’s all I need to know now
This is the morning when I am sure of what I’m doing
I don’t need approval that’s surface deep and all deluding
I soon believe
I’ll shed my skin and change my ways
I need to feel alive
It’s not enough to do what’s right by you
I need to feel alive
This is the morning when I am sure of what I’m doing
I don’t need approval that’s surface deep and all deluding
How is a difference a weakness?
It’s mindless
We all lose
No choice but to be true to my own mind and not you
I’ll shed my skin
And change my ways
I need to feel alive
It’s not enough
To do what’s right by you
I need to feel alive
Deep in me
I see
I feel
I breathe
I need to go
I won’t feel ashamed
Cause better feelings grow
And they’ll keep me strong
On the way down
I’ll shed my skin
And change my ways
I need to feel alive
It’s not enough
To do what’s right by you
I need to feel alive
I need to feel alive
I need to feel alive
I need to feel alive
I need to feel alive

Harder
02:52
|

|
Tried changing everything
Moved far from all I’ve been
To carry out your sentence on me
Please just tell me what to do
So I can still continue
Cause I’m just stuck here I can’t move on
I’ve got to get away
I need to forget everything
I want to feel I’m strong
But it just gets harder
Just tell me what to do
So I can still continue
Cause it’s just wearing down my patience here
I’ve got to get away
I need to forget everything
I want to feel I’m strong
But it just gets harder
I’m losing so much time
I’m not achieving anything
I keep trying everything
But it just gets harder
I’ve got to get away
I need to forget everything
I want to feel I’m strong
But it just gets harder
I’m losing so much time
I’m not achieving anything
I keep trying everything
But it just gets harder
And my systems are failing
All my chances are fading
But it just gets harder
But it just gets harder
And my reasons are crashing
My resolve is eroding
But it just gets harder

Insult To Injury
03:32
|
|||
|
Caustic
Kind attack
All under surface
Meant to crush in
Fuck me up
You keep me locked in
To your hatred
Where you’re stuck
Back up
Circle
In this sickness
You expect me
To be deaf to
All unsaid
And left to fester
Till I crash down
When it stops
Now still you go too far
Serve to drain and tire me
Sure to let me down
Insult to injury
Must you hate me?
Do you want me
To be sucked in
To this tension?
As you made me
I will draw in
To your soreness
And resentment
Won’t you stop this?
Won’t you stop this?
Now, still you go too far
Serve to drain and tire me
Sure to let me down
Insult to injury
Now still you go too far
Serve to drain and tire me
Where I’m safe and sound
Insult to injury
Must you hate me
Do you want me
To be sucked in
To this tension
As you made me
I will draw in
To your soreness
And resentment
Must you hate me
Do you want me
To be sucked in
To this tension
As you made me
I will draw in
To your soreness
And resentment
Still you go too far…

Tied Up In Knots
03:39
|

I want to believe you
When you tell me everything’s alright
But I know you of old and
I just don’t believe your words this time
So please don’t lie
Don’t reassure me
And don’t tell me why
Just stop
Know me
It’s all I wanted
Hold me
But you won’t let me go
See that in the end
We gave just what we got
Tied up in knots
It’s too late for talking
And it’s just too late for holding on
No point in fighting
There’s no need to
Cause we’re both right
And we’re both wrong
Know me
It’s all I wanted
Hold me
But you won’t let me go
See that in the end
We gave just what we got
Tied up in knots
Cause what would it take to spend a little time?
To put all else aside?
What would it take to let me in your life?
You know I did love you
Know me
It’s all I wanted
Hold me
But you won’t let me go
See that in the end
We gave just what we got
Tied up in …
Know me
It’s all I wanted
Hold me
But you won’t let me go
See that in the end
We gave just what we got
Tied up in knots

Sleeper
04:16

I
I am apathy
I adversity
I am latent
Here
I am everything
All I want to be
Lying dormant
I am shattering
Nothing left of me
Nothing truthful
Here
I am meant to leave
It’s my destiny
This I hold to
I lose myself for you
I stay in my place for you
I suffocate
Tear myself up again
I lose my certainty
All I was meant to be
Just as you care for me
You make me feel alone
I lose my certainty
All I was meant to be
Just as you care for me
You make me feel alone
I tear myself apart
(Tear me)

Non-Fiction
03:32
|

|
As you push me you’re containing me
A broken state of mind
You support me as you’re straining me
A curving in my spine
I just can’t take these feelings of being left behind
I can’t see what’s closest to me
Will you hear me?
Could I trust you
To be all I claim as mine
Drawing near me
All I hold to
Not a fiction all this time
No more time to waste
Leave this place
Sure and anodyne
So live up to your promises
And I’ll live up to mine
I concede
I choke as I breathe
Will you hear me?
Could I trust you
To be all I claim as mine
Drawing near me
All I hold to
Not a fiction all this time
The fault falls to me
Controlled by my need
Will you hear me?
Could I trust you
To be all I claim as mine
Drawing near me
All I hold to
Not a fiction all this time
So live up to your promises
And I’ll live up to mine
And clearer all I hold to
Not a fiction all this time

Swarm
04:29
|
|||
|
A swarm of misconceptions
Scorching as they seethe
You punished me for being naïve
Assuming your authority
So show me all your faith, your reasons
I’ll see you fall and watch you grieve
I’d still absolve the sin you wallow in
So in the end, you’ll never break me
So you can put on me this stain
I will not wear your shame
You are my chore
You are my effigy
You will no longer keep my precious sleep from me
I don’t regret I gave my loyalty
Cause you have shown that I am everything I need
So show me all your faith, your reasons
I’ll see you fall and watch you grieve
I’d still absolve the sin you wallow in
So in the end, you’ll never break me
And at a time
If I could have bleached these bones
I would have done, for any kind of hope
So you can put on me this stain
I will not wear your shame

Cut
03:46
|
|||
|
I’m screaming
And you know
It shows
I know you watch me
I’m breathing
Full of hope
No control
You got me
I see you so clearly now
There’s no fear left in me
In some way
I needed you so I could know how strong I can be
I feel like I’m waking up
And I need to cut this from my heart
All my years
And long dried tears
I need to cut this from my heart
You may as well be stone
Inanimate and cold
A burden I have known
I need to cut this from my heart
Crush me
Bruise my skin
Break my bones but
It will not be enough
Be there to kick me when I’m down
But I’m already free now
I see you so clearly now
There’s no fear left in me
In some way
I needed you so I could know how strong I can be

Lamb

I’m left here lonely now
But you are with me
The coldness all around
Can’t touch me
Without you I have found
My breath is missing
A sense of you confounds
Worn to my bones
Caught in my soul
You could see through it all
And you loved me
The night can fall on down
The day can wake me
The emptiness around
Can’t take me
Worn to my bones
Caught in my soul
You changed it all for me
