repeat

repeat our parts again
only this time we'll skip the start and then pretend
that we're going somewhere together until the end
repeat our parts again
only this time we'll break apart and then pretend
that we'll never share our hearts before we end
reveal our hearts again
open that one and we can laugh and reconnect
and love just like the first time that we met
reveal our hearts again
open this one speak of hardship and intent
and how I'll never be the one to recompense
repeat the past again
but now you're not as fast as you were then
and you won't lend yourself to another man
repeat the past again
where I'm cast aside for raising my defence
against promises I've not broken for revenge
repeat our parts again
only this time we won't restart again
we won't restart again

fall with me
03:45
|
|||
but wait up
you lost me when you said
that this love means less to you than whose?
my world comes crashing down around me
these wounds, they're fresh and run too deep
i look up and crimson starts to seep
and escape from between my fingers
but the pain spreads further inwards
after years together i still don't know
how i couldn't see we were growing further apart
the ground beneath me begins to shake
as i lie awake and ruminate
about how i'll ever readjust to
a new life without you
and up to this day the inertia remains
i could never choose another
you could never be tamed
a rising disdain
come sunshine or rain
you have no retort
you could never complain
oh how naive i've been
this rage it seethes from within
but i can't find the words to describe how this feels
it's like i never should have bothered
i can't find a way to rid myself of you
your memory won't ever descease
as daybreak returns to remind me
that i still can't seem to catch a single minute of sleep
well good luck, i hope he makes you whole
and i hope you never have to call
to say you wished that you could fall with me

don't you feel
03:40
|
|||
sober no more
i can feel your gaze taking hold
i am fast giving in
to the notion of whirlwinds keeping us close
we're a tragedy in utero just waiting to happen
but we'll feign naivety letting lust take full control of us
see i'm really glad she came to see me
two days had passed without a word
i feared the worst situation
choosing her boyfriend over me
after my girl leaves
but she knows i'll love her better than him
a cardinal sin, dictating our every move
all rational thought now buried in the past
oh how young love will year us apart
sober again
don't you feel the cold on your skin
as.the fear settles in
from feeling so lonely around each other
we can force ourselves to fix all that is broken
but the pieces won't fit together
no matter how hard we try
in that moment
i didn't know any better
i thought that we would be invincible
ready to take on the world
but once we hit rough waters
we were drowning in a sea of defeat
not coming up for air
because we just didn't care
enough about us
or anybody else

rubble floats
02:37
|

pressure building
shattered earth creates this laughter
open fire
everlasting, luminescent circle in the swirling darkness
curl up into the corner
you'll evade the repercussions
close your eyes, learn to smile
it'll be gone in time

fighting for acceptance
03:02
|
|||
we'll spend spend our days
we'll spend them fighting for acceptance
on a global stage
under the eyes of our oppressors
some fear to talk
some won't even live to see the next day
you'll incarcerate the ones that feel the pain the worst way
we dream of our plight
gunned down like the innocents before us
left six feet in the ground
along with your monolithic attitudes
will you open your eyes
to see that we're the ones hurting
belligerent lies erode with the privilege you're birthed with
and we will rise 'cause we belong here
|

nascent days
03:27
|
|||
as we take a step into the fire
there is one thing on my mind
when we reach the other side
will we still be with the one we admire
you sound like blessing that's far too good to be true
you feel the pressure
that's when the doubts rise
cause you're not good enough
and now you're thinking of running
i said i don't wanna know
whether i'm gonna go
sooner than i need to
resting hope
on my shoulders
and broken soul
a glimpse of hope
fading slowly
a love turned cold

fear
04:41
|
|||
you'll see
when you give a man an inch he'll take ten miles
he'll take you for a ride
far from here
and when you both arrive he'll show you in
and it's all smiles and laughter
until he locks you in and throws away the key
your stomach fills with fear right to your throat
the way he lured you in is unconscionable
you're pcaing up and down your white walled cell
you're praying he'll unlock the door
but when he comes he says
"don't get your hopes up, you're not leaving any time soon"
you see the door is left ajar
and the guard is sleeping at his post
you'll take a few steps towards freedom
before you're on your knees paralysed with fear
and when you lose your mind like this
all you can do is scream or laugh
the promise of a future
the let down of a lifetime
don't you think that you deserved more

a little less blank
03:03
|
|||
i look inside myself
and i hate what i see
staring back at me
your face says it all
now the writing's on the wall
now everything has changed
suddenly it's changed
i can't take you with me
months have passed us now
and you'll still kick me when I'm down
and spit in my face
moan on and on about how I'm a disgrace to you
i never wanted you to feel this way
but what the fuck else am i supposed to say?
should i look you in the eye and lie straight to your face?
and tell you that i feel the same?
i can't take you with me
because my love for you never grew

spectre
04:14
|
|||
spectre looms overhead and holds me hostage
open my mouth to speak but can't ever get the words out
i'm always so caught up in my own world
i struggle to barely focus on another
is this the worst to come
this is the furthest i've run
is this the furthest i'll ever go?
ask yourself were your efforts really worth it
severing ties after turning against your own
i'm growing tired of listening to
your condescending divisive rhetoric
how is it that you lack such selfless and empathy
why is this the only thing cycling in my head endlessly?
craning up at the mountain in front of me
lost in myself and my feelings
my present self forever yearning to out the past behind me
as the future remains hidden
in the blink of an eye a season passed us
change is still imminent yet we remain patient
nostalgia of a weathered home built on
frail foundations keeps me in voluntary confinement
is this the worst to come?
or am I still in the descent?
this is the furthest i've run
is this the furthest i'll ever go?

ripples
05:11
|
|||
my heart sinks
to see you like this
you're breaking bridges, you're burning ties
throwing wild accusations around
we don't know just what you want
cause you're too busy
trying to analyse the words of everyone around you
dive in to cold water
and give yourself to the sea
and you won't tell a single soul
whereabouts you're gonna be
when you're not rising to the surface
asphyxiating rapidly
they'll say it's far too late to save you
watching ripples glide towards me
my heart sinks
to see you like this
i'm in shock and paralysed
at the thought of you being around
i'm fearful of the impact you'll have
although I know it's not really your fault
you can't help yourself another way
you've grown into somebody we don't know
if you're still here we'd love to speak with you again
