Can't You See?
04:24
|
|||
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

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
|
|

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
|
|||
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

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
|
|

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
|
|
||
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
