I feel ashamed of things I haven't even done yet But you make me certain that it's what I do I keep my mind set on what you call limitation I don't remember much but I remember you Oh my appetite is on the run Leave us to decide who's number one I couldn't help it, I'm a monster, I am sick But you're here to help me, I'm so lucky you exist You know the way because you see it in your mind I will follow you and always walk behind Oh my appetite is on the run Leave us to decide who's number one I am locked in a cage and I sleep on the floor and I save my rage and count my age everyday

I think I'm feeling you shaking Was it your coffee for friends? You probably couldn't take it Have I run out of rent? And it's all of these reflections I can see inside your teary eye Ignorance is blinding But I wanna see you go Hey, you're staring at the lights Is it easier to burn away what keeps you up at night? You know that I can feel your heart racing You can feel it too 'Cause you look good when your face is a ricochet of the truth And it's easier to take a side Than to make your own and say it's mine I'm tired of listening to your words But I wanna hear you go You set me on fire You tell me I'm a liar Just take the bench I say my bitter friend Your tasteless view is way more better spent Elsewhere, I swear I'll take you there I don't, don't care I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear You set me on fire You tell me I'm a liar

Guillotine 02:38
She says I am like you But I do not believe you are like me Cut it off I don't wanna stop Now it's yours Guillotine He said too much Bit off his tongue Silver and bronze dripping on us Cut it off I don't wanna stop Now it's yours Guillotine Guillotine (Hit Me) Sympathy seeping through Don't let it get to you Blood is the only proof I want you to cut if off I don't wanna stop Now it's yours Guillotine Guillotine (Hit Me)

The Blue 03:52
Down in the places where once was new Trying to see where you stood Sticking your fingers through loops on your belt Try and breathe in but you're holding yourself Now cover yourself in blue In blue, I am your featherweight Down in the wasted where could came true Picking at pictures with your teeth Skeletons of the sentences that never found their flesh Try and pronounce every word by yourself And bury yourself in blue In blue, I am your featherweight Drowning my eyes to blind the blue All of the blue I see in you Turning inside out hides the truth Caught in your sights I'm feeling blue In blue, I am your featherweight

It's a pleasure to meet you, Madam and Sir do you know that you share the same eyes? Not in colour or size, but I do recognise, You've both seen your fair share of life, I'll tell you a story, the guts and the glory, The day that the lion grew his mane, He was never the same, but he still had a name, That no one remembers, for shame. You came here to shake up, enlighten and wake up, And what did you ask in return? A friend with a razor and one drunken saviour, Light it up and watch it burn, Forced to surrender, they cut our adventure, And I know you know what I mean, The violence of giants is trapped in your silence, But I know one day you will scream. And the world will fear you, For the scars that you wear on your face, And I'll try to hear you, But first you have to speak, Speak those words to me. Speak, There's blood in the mirror, Speak. And the world will fear you, For the blood, the hate, That separates. Open your mouth and speak.

Somnambulism 03:56
Find me underneath the water Drowning in the sky Blame it all on your daughter Tell your son to stay dry Confidants made of glass And they've never asked me my name Dances with me on the edge Though I know it cannot get In my sleep Every word repeats Will you wait for me to be better? Smoke billowing out the window Help hangs in the air I need something to remember Else reveal the snare I'm falling down (somewhere in between) Falling down (a recovery) Falling down, down, down, down... In my sleep Every word repeats Will you wait for me to be better?

What did you say? (Bang!) What did I say? (Bang Bang!) Stepped too far Now there you are Easier to say (Bang!) Than walk away (Bang Bang!) With a fire burning straight up your windpipe Could you stand to lose? (Bang!) It's hard to choose (Bang Bang!) When your shoes move faster than you do How does it feel? (Bang!) Soft as steel (Bang Bang!) I'm gonna show you how the animal heals Kudos to those who know how to hit 'em You know, you know you're getting it done Tough doesn't tear and strong doesn't listen I am a man, I am a man, I am a man!

If all they're saying is true Then where does that leave you? Without a lifeguard, night swimming, real dark Oh he can bite hard but he ain't a real shark Just because you want, doesn't mean you get Just because you waste your breath (But I can see gold, yeah I can see gold) No regrets (Ooh I can see gold, I can see gold) Finding it harder to lie to you (Still I can see gold, yeah I can see gold) Well I don't Give it up while the wagon's in town How will you live if you never live this down? Here come the next one, kicking and screaming on Could be last one, steady now, here it comes Just because you... Just because you waste your breath (But I can see gold, yeah I can see gold) No regrets (Ooh I can see gold, I can see gold) Finding it harder to lie to you (Still I can see gold, yeah I can see gold) Well I don't Waste your breath (But I can see gold) No regrets (Ooh I can see gold) I'm finding it harder to lie to you (Still I can see gold, yeah I can see gold) Well I don't

I wanna know, I wanna know how you lost it all I wanna see, see my name before yours I'm gonna cut, cut right down to your core And then I'll leave you right where you are 'Cause I like it raw I wanna break you down I'm gonna break you down I wanna take, take much more than mine I wanna turn to see you falling behind I wanna do it first so it's already been done I'm gonna buy you the best of the bullets and steal your gun I wanna break you down I'm gonna break you down... And put myself back together on top of your bones

The Sound 05:19
Speak to me softly now Finally on our own Designed so perfectly Honestly you don't know How much it hurts me To turn my back on you But I'm burning all my answers So that I can find the truth Send me up Why'd you have to wear it out? Cut the hairs that hold you down February comes around I give another moment to the sound She prays But I don't think she's praying for me She prays But her faith still won't make me believe Do I turn to God? For all that I want? Forgive what I'm not? I'll be the sinner You be the saint I'll tell you everything while we wait, wait, just wait Safe when I'm still so I bury the will But the hate is insatiable Send me up Remember when it bled you out? That is just a memory now February comes around I give another moment to the sound All we are is dancing in my dreams All I know is what I want to believe And they say it's the most beautiful thing But not a single god damn one Has done what you have done Do you really need it? Do you really need it? Send me up Only needing half the ground Living on the why you found February comes around I give another moment to the sound
