Play With Me

It wasn't a special case
It wasn't a place to hide
It wasn't, oh, hide and seek
It was forgiveness to be
Play with me
And we will see
The light in the dark
That we embark
Play with me
Find a way beneath
A place to beat
A place to beat
Yeah, Yeah
A place to beat
Looking into your embrace
Without thought, without a trace
I fell deep, but hot in pain
I can't remember your name
Play with me
And we will see
The light in the dark
That we embark
Play with me
Find a way beneath
A place to beat
A place to beat
Yeah, Yeah
A place to beat
Yeah, you and me
Forgive me, my one
My time is done
Your letters are so torturous
Let me be free
But you will be
Always a memory
Fly
Play with me
And we will see
The light in the dark
That we embark
Play with me
Find a way beneath
A place to beat
A place to beat
Yeah, Yeah
A place to beat
A place to beat
A place to beat
Yeah, Yeah
A place to beat
A place to beat
A place to beat
Yeah, Yeah
A place to beat
Play with me
And we will see
The light in the dark
That we embark
Play with me
Find a way beneath

Lifeless Stories
05:31
|
|||
Where did my balance go?
Falling to my knees
Suppressed decisions made
Before I cry out please
Leave behind the Devil
In your calloused heart
Forgotten notions hit me
As I fall apart
Wandering, oh
Oh, I am wandering so
In my field of cold
Pardon, my soul
Oh, I am bound to glow
In my field of cold
Sudden lies
To be found
Fables fly around
But within me
There is nothing
But lifeless stories
Sudden lies
To be found
Fables fly around
But within me
There is nothing
But lifeless stories
Remain, remain, remain
In silence
Cut through, cut through, cut through
The violence
To hear, to hear, to hear,
Words so close to harm
There is a shallow hole
Shaped into my chest
The brokenness is more
Than I can confess
Whisper color into
My heavens cloak
Fill the rainbow
Into my hollow broke
Wandering, oh
Oh, I am wandering so
In my field of cold
Pardon, my soul
Oh, I am bound to glow
In my field of cold
Sudden lies
To be found
Fables fly around
But within me
There is nothing
But lifeless stories
Sudden lies
To be found
Fables fly around
But within me
There is nothing
But lifeless stories
Remain, remain, remain
In silence
Cut through, cut through, cut through
The violence
To hear, to hear, to hear,
Words so close to harm
Remain in silence
Cut the violence
Remain in silence
Cut the violence
Words so close to harm
Words so close to harm
Words so close to harm
Somehow underground
Beneath the ground you feel
Just need to feel something
with these hollow hands
to feel

My Sacrifice
07:08
|
|||
Paralyzed
Sinking into the floor
Reaching for you
Lying there breathless
It took us down
But I could see
The shadow came
Only from inside of me
You don't know what you are
I forget what you are
I fell low, deep
You thought I was to keep
Your eyes grew into me
Grew into me
Now I can't see
Since you saved me
Your eyes grew into me
Grew into me
Now I can't see
Since you saved me
My life, as my sacrifice
My life, as my sacrifice
You walk by, you walk by
I'm complete, but fully gone
Faded from your Love
Faded from you, Love
My life, as my sacrifice
My life, as my sacrifice
I don't know what I am
I forget what I am
I cut slow, deep
The pain released, in my sleep
Your eyes grew into me
Grew into me
Now I can't see
Since you saved me
Your eyes grew into me
Grew into me
Now I can't see
Since you saved me
My life, as my sacrifice
My life, as my sacrifice
You walk by, you walk by
I'm complete, but fully gone
Faded from your Love
Faded from you, Love
My life, as my sacrifice
My life, as my sacrifice
I can't look now
You're just too beautiful
Still something is gone in you
Still something is gone in you
Your eyes grew into me
Grew into me
Now I can't see
Since you saved me
Your eyes grew into me
Grew into me
Now I can't see
Since you saved me
Outlined, my face disappears
Outlined, I forget the fear
Outlined, I am dying slowly
Outlined, I will love you, darling
Oh, I will love you, darling
I will love you darling

Phantom
06:03
|
|||
You gave me life
But did you steal my soul
Do you believe me?
I still feel you, your heartbeat with mine
The ghost in me
We are not the same
You don't exist in my brain
But maybe I can heal you
Maybe I can heal too
Maybe we, are secretly,
Meant to be, meant to be
Do you see?
You gave me breath
But am I slowly drowning
Do you believe me
I still hear your, voice inside
We are not the same
I'm still searching for my name
But maybe I can heal you
Maybe I can heal too
Maybe we, are secretly,
Meant to be, meant to be
Do you see?
A reflection of you
That shines through
the heartbreak
I wish that you were just a phantom
I wish that you were just a phantom
I wish that you were just a phantom
But now I see
And your brokenness has broken me
Gave me life, gave me breath
Stole my soul, cannot rest
Save my life, save my breath

The Feeling of You
06:29
|
|||
where the sky is turning grey
and people feed upon other’s hate
one can lose all fate one night.
though one flame didn't die
we can see in each other's eyes
half awake
and half asleep
in your arms
like a dream
let us be
here by each other now
now
(Pre-chorus)
The feeling of you
Breaks me in two
The feeling of you
I forget the truth
With the feeling of you
The feeling of you
The feeling of you
The feeling of you
(Chorus)
We don't scream
The Earth just quakes
You are the taste
I cannot satiate
We don't scream
The Earth just quakes
You are the taste
I cannot satiate
(Verse 2)
Where the moon is peaking through
And my vision sees only you
One can lose all fate one night
But my heart didn't die
We can see in each others eyes
Half awake
And half asleep
In your veins
Like a stream
Let us be here
In each other now
Now
(Pre-chorus)
The feeling of you
Breaks me in two
The feeling of you
I forget the truth
With the feeling of you
The feeling of you
The feeling of you
The feeling of you
(Chorus)
We don't scream
The Earth just quakes
You are the taste
I cannot satiate
We don't scream
The Earth just quakes
You are the taste
I cannot satiate

Infected
03:47
|
|||
You never see it
I can't describe it
There's something inside
That you can't see
And this fire
And this feeling
Is fighting and screaming
to be free
Everybody places me
Into the lost and found
Maybe someday
Maybe someday
Stand my soul, release
Buried underneath
Why are you so infected
Infected
Release me to the
Beautiful scenes
Bait me in with
Your apologize
I forgot my childhood dreams
The voice of winter sings
Everybody places me
Into the lost and found
Maybe someday
Maybe someday
Stand my soul, release
Buried underneath
Why are you so infected
Infected
Crying it all
Becoming untrue
Playing the victim
What can I do?
I don't mean to, I don't
I don't mean to, I don't
I don't mean to, I don't
I don't mean to, I don't
I don't mean to, I don't
I don't mean to
Why are you so infected
Infected
Oh, Why are you so infected
Infected
Why are you so infected
Infected

Hold you close
04:03
|
|||
Holding onto your hand
the season changed above
the colored leaves will bleed
shedding pain from the past
to repair and realize
its not the end this time
I see myself
being pulled in with
the waves into the deep
reaching up for the air
I was lost somewhere
and the stars will hold me up
and point me where you are
my love i’ll hold you close
I will never let go

My Severed Life
08:14
|
|||
I leave the endless sidewalks
Enter me, a world unknown
Oh, oh, oh
I leave this pace, this place behind
Follow me, a world unknown
Oh, oh, oh
Let go, let go, let go
My severed life
Awake to take another day
Let go, let go, let go
My severed life
Awake, awake, awake, awake, awake
Awake, awake, awake, awake, awake
to take, everything from me
My severed life
Endless days
I cannot stay
To fall with you
To follow you
To take, everything from me
My severed life
How broken will I still become?
How broken will I still become?
How broken will I still become?
My hair falls down, to my knees
My heart is stumbling, with unease
Will I find something asking for my wings?
Something is still missing
Something is still missing
How broken will I still become?
How broken will I still become?
How broken will I still become?
Oh, Oh!
Let go, let go, let go
My severed life
Awake, awake, awake, awake, awake
Awake, awake, awake, awake, awake
to take, everything from me
My severed life
Endless days
I cannot stay
To fall with you
To follow you
To take, everything from me
My severed life
I scream
I can't seem to be
accepting of this reality
I scream
I can't seem to be
accepting of this reality
I scream
I can't seem to be
accepting of this reality
I scream
I can't seem to be
accepting of this reality
Please help me
How broken will I still become?
How broken will I still become?
How broken will I still become?
How broken will I still become?
How broken will I still become?
