Wake Up 04:14
Wake up, Wake up Your body’s going nowhere Wake up, Wake up We’re living in a nightmare Shaking from sickness that’s taking its hold Making us witness what doctors foretold It’s breaking our hearts as it’s breaking our fold Taking our tears it so viciously sold I do believe It got the best of me Watching you leave Just take the rest of me I see you Your memories fading You’re growing old I see you Emotions colliding You’re growing cold Your heart grows cold Wake up, Wake up Your body’s going nowhere Wake up, Wake up We’re living in a nightmare Holding back words so that they’ll never know The anger that’s growing, the losses we sow You bottle your thoughts as you throttle your soul Drinking the pain and repressing the cold I do believe It got the best of me Watching you leave Just take the rest of me I see you Your memories fading You’re growing old I see you Emotions colliding You’re growing cold Your heart grows cold

Storm 04:39
Is this a game to you? Find ways to shame and bruise Defined by your lack of heart Bite your tongue Drink your bile Everyone laughs and everyone cries It’s comfort to know that everyone dies It isn’t nice to tease When your own knees are bleeding I’m not alone I am home Rise in the flames Storm in waves Everyone laughs and everyone cries It’s comfort to know that everyone dies Especially you Your smiling eyes can burn Scars of regret you’ve earned Silently weep Bitterness sweet Rise in the flames Storm in waves Everyone laughs and everyone cries It’s comfort to know that everyone dies Especially you

Dear, the nights are so lonely here While the sun magnifies our every fear And night, so beautiful and so clear In my dreams I’m coming home to you Wait for me, I’ll come back to you I swear that I’ll come home I swear that I’ll be there Stop, Kiss Me Say that you’ll miss me Don’t cry It’s not goodbye Scars, in the flesh and in my head How to sleep when all that I see is red And friends are falling like bullet shells Where to turn when no one is here to tell Where do you turn when no one can hear you Nobody here Nobody here Stop, Kiss Me Say that you’ll miss me Don’t cry It’s not goodbye I’ll see you When this is through My angel Till then, Farewell Love, I wish I was with you now I have more to say than what time will allow So please, forgive me for leaving you All of my heart will belong to you forever Stop, Kiss Me Say that you’ll miss me Don’t cry It’s not goodbye I’ll see you When this is through My angel Till then, Fare thee well

If I Could 04:22
If I could dream the world anew I would build a seaside harbor Every flower would be wet with dew Every heart would beat with an undying fire If I could dream the world anew I would build for you a fortress And you’d never want for lack of love You would always smile, and I’d never leave your arms You will not weep You will not die Not in this place within my mind You’ll always laugh And you will fly If I could fly you to your dreams And bathe you in the moonlight I would gather stars to light your eyes You would fill with awe And an endless joy You will not weep You will not die Not in this place within my mind You’ll always laugh And you will fly And I'll never leave your arms
5.
Uncaged 03:35
Not a moment passes by The memory of your mocking words Rips through the gossamer of this fragile dream Distorts and defiles till my heart is left to bleed Fuel my rage till you’re nothing but ash And I will burn evermore I’m uncaged, I’m everything you fear I will not forget Go ahead and laugh some more Talk it up like a big man From where I am standing you’re looking mighty small Out here in the light, I can’t see you at all Fuel my rage till you’re nothing but ash And I will burn evermore I’m uncaged, I’m everything you fear I will not forget I hear the roaring of the sea Sings not its symphonies for thee Fuel my rage till you’re nothing but ash And I will burn evermore I’m uncaged, I’m everything you fear I will not forget I am uncaged

Don’t run away, Don’t hide your face I know your name, I’ve played this game I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough Not gonna belly up this time I’ve had enough, No one will save you No white horses, No shining knight Take up your arms, Take back your life I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough Not gonna belly up this time I’ve had enough, No one will save you I’m sick of life, I’m stick of time ticking by So close your eyes I’m done with you, I’ve seen enough to know the truth Give in to fate I’m holding shut, I’m in a rut waiting for you Just take one chance Done waiting for life, gonna take it back from you To break the chain Your lovely lies Will bleed your veins Live in denial, Your heart will break I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough Not gonna belly up this time I’ve had enough, No one will save you I’m sick of life, I’m stick of time ticking by So close your eyes I’m done with you, I’ve seen enough to know the truth Give in to fate I’m holding shut, I’m in a rut waiting for you Just take one chance Done waiting for life, gonna take it back from you To break the chain No One Will Save You Don’t run away, Don’t hide your face

I Am 04:13
I am the fire come for you I’ll burn you to the ground I am the death you fear to face I’ll grip and drag you down I’ve come to you seeking revenge These wounds will never heal If you cannot repent, then I will hunt you till you feel You are the one who wrung my neck And buried in the mud I am the one you laughed and raped And washed away the blood I am the dead come from the grave I want your terror whole I’ll have you rotting next to me Through and through
8.
What I fear the worst is saying goodbye What scares me the most is staying alive I need you in my life Love lost I’d surely die The world can be cruel and unkind We barely breathe, we’re bound and tied Freefall from the sky Arms spread for the collide What I fear the worst is saying goodbye What scares me the most is staying alive The world can be cruel and unkind We barely breathe, we’re bound and tied We’re bound and tied What hurts the most is saying goodbye An emptiness by my side

Come To Me 06:00
He came and gave me the key to the world He said, “don’t waste it girl” She said to fly to the stage and soar Just walk through the door Since then, things haven’t been the same A little love changes the game Come to me, I heard your voice Calling me, I had no choice Here I am, my Love, I’ve come Deliver me, my muse Yours to use My angels, how I’d move mountains for you I cross the sea Believe you’re worth everything and more My destiny Our story’s only just begun We have a song that needs to be sung Come to me, I heard your voice Calling me, I had no choice Here I am, my Love, I’ve come Deliver me, my muse Yours to use Sweet Love, you’ve been with us all the while We’re here in your arms Because of you, we have eyes to see We weather the storm Burning across the sky Yearning, I hear you sigh Come to me, I heard your voice Calling me, I had no choice Here I am, my Love, I’ve come Deliver me, my muse Yours to use Come to me, I heard your voice Calling me, it left me with no choice Here I am, my Love, I’ve come Deliver me, my muse Yours to use

The Ghost 04:47
Counting every hour Fear in every note Waiting for the nightmares to cease Close your eyes to sleep Silently scream Is all of it lies this time I lose track of what is right I’m through with the pain and tears My burden through all these years Demons in my brain Ripping me again Tearing at my heart and my head Twisting what is there Until I’m bled Is all of it lies this time I lose track of what is right I’m through with the pain and tears My burden through all these years Can you try to understand How I hate the feeling Of standing on the edge of my sanity I don’t want to be here I don’t want to feel this I just want to sleep Sleep perchance to dream again Am I really here Is this what I’ve become A shadow of the ghost in me An echo of a dream Memories lost at sea Is all of it lies this time I lose track of what is right I’m through with the pain and tears My burden through all these years I’m broken to tears Have you seen the ghost Have you seen the ghost The ghost lost in me
