Can't You See? 04:24
lyrics

Can't you see it's all a game? Can't you see it's all to push farther away? Bitter taste of finite fame Building towers to not face it right away Prepare the fall, there's been enough Playing savior, reaching fame, what horrible a name for failures Turning love to law and gain, to terribly explain our function Can't you see you can't be saved? Can't you see it's such a shame by your make? There's a sweetness in the coarsest of words Like there's a stronghold in our withering hands The ladder falls right from under us No steps to climb and claim, no sheep to slay and blame for plunder Wicked chaos-ordered brain, rejecting hope for our own wonder We can be gods, we can be strong But failures at that We can be the gods we want We can be idols We can be the gods we want But failures...

Stories 03:31
lyrics
She was another hope First given into But lastly given up What's had in these memories but scars? How long are the stories I tell First told, I'm suddenly not feeling so well Yet they’re number climbs to match the stars If you find my heart Bring it back to me Tears shed but I’ll still live Repentance ain’t quite the flashy a narrative But there has to be a better plan Oh these stories have their toll I might let the devil take this soul Because I'm just a hollow shell of man This ain't a one way road Fear that if you love being alone

Gone Away 04:13
lyrics
The silent starry sky still will find its ways To keep me up all night, despite its guise of grace Darkness wraps me up without a hand free to break me of All my worried thoughts Clearly, a calm heart is too much to ask for So I'll lay and accept that I'm just helpless All these trials came just to prove me wrong Never called or asked that I should come along I feel justified in not trusting in myself or in my God Because nothing makes sense I reach but there's no hand waiting My eyes won't open but I know there's weeping Oh God will you walk out from here? I feel like I scream so loud but no one is moving I feel overwhelmed by my sin and by the threat of hell It's like you've gone away

Ghost Town 04:33
lyrics
buy track
Every light is shining darkness How are we to find a home? It’s like this town is just a wilderness Without the honesty to know The streets are lined with the bodies Of the broken and abused And their arms yield the track marks of help refused Voices are calling For what I'm unsure I can't wait to get out of this place Away from you, my captor, my thief I can't wait to get out of this place Away from you, my captor, my villain Is every hope rejected by the “have’s" Or unaccepted by the "have-not’s”? "The hilltop rains down no aid It’s just casting lots!" Every window to every home is boarded up And the fires they set can destroy only so much Voices are calling For what I'm unsure Would a cure they desire Or will they just endure? I can't wait to get out of this place Away from you, my captor, my thief I can't wait to get out of this place Away from you, my captor, my villain This town's lost It burns down This town's ghost It burns now and again

Just to Live 03:41
lyrics
All of their actions are so calculated And their empathies faded All of these faces are pictures of persons Whose morals have worsened over time There's not a hope to gain now Look up to no one, you'll be fine Stand up and understand it Just why are you the way you are? Thoughts just to end it run through my head like Like my head isn't quite right Everyone acts like they're so understanding But they don't know a damn thing about me now Wasting away I lay here Too weak to pray, I'm filled with guilt So much to say, I can't speak Just go away, I'm gone for good Who do you think you are? Who do you think you're talking to, selfish fool? Why is it complicated? Why make it harder than it is just to live?

Remember 02:44
lyrics
When I remember to forget how you remember me I need pen and paper to write that, but I still need reminded Photographs wither and soon dissipate But I've lost my way to memory lane Winter comes and goes and I'm still stuck in my summer clothes When I remember to pick up some pens, I'll write you a letter I'll ask you stupid questions that I should know But still don't know the answers to Won't you refresh my tired mind, I'm tired all the time I cut my teeth and dry my eyes on the times you tried When I remember to forget, will you remember me?

Pay Your Respects 04:32
lyrics
Failure to spread this disease And wishing you had never loved me You're counseled by disbelief You'll waltz right out my sanctuary When time gets tired, I will simply remember That you're still young, while I'm older than ever My how the hours tick by Enveloped by the regret Stamped but never sent off, I forget Words on these pages won't mend Not even by my grand imagination The memory holds, it weighs down and down it pulls When time gets tired, I'll be reminded That you're so young and I'm just dying Watch all the cars pass by, pay your respects
