chemical
04:30

when we touch
know it's up
no relation anymore
when we fight
know it's right
nothing but love in this war
i, i can not
fight it anymore
put down the weapons, watching the horizon
i, i can not
fight it anymore
smoking 'til the days end, always sick of waiting
keeping up, it's hard enough
trying to figure out your mood
keeping up, it's hard enough
bringing balance to the room
bitter cold, chemical, entice my brain again
bitter cold, i'm keeping warm
by the fire tonight
bitter cold, chemical, entice my brain again
bitter cold, chemical
nothing but a liner in your notes
nothing but a notch left in your post
i'm holding on, with a grip that can't let go
my chemical, i keep you close
tied like a knot around my throat
i better not, i better not
i better not before i blow
keeping up, it's hard enough
trying to figure out your mood
keeping up, it's hard enough
bringing balance to the room
keeping up, it's hard enough
trying to figure out your mood
keeping up, it's hard enough
bringing balance to the room
bitter cold, chemical, entice my brain again
bitter cold, i'm keeping warm
by the fire tonight
bitter cold, chemical, entice my brain again
bitter cold, chemical

wonder
03:53
|

wonder if you even know my name
wonder starts to trickle in, sparkle eyes entice my brain
i play the game, the song and dance, my pieces laid
see if there's a way to spark this flame
we hit it off, talking calmly as the time rolls
low eyes rose, meeting mine can't let this vibe go
been years since we met last, clouded by these fickle brittle years past
so proud you changed, i stayed the same
only getting older, maybe cut back on the 'caine
glancing over growing pains
night rolls on, starting to feel chosen
fucked it up too many times, somehow my words like poison
just feel corrosion soaking through the walls
can't escape the feeling that my memory echoes through your halls
once the space that i inhabited, like wonderland i'm alice
and your palace ain't a kingdom, it's my whole damn world
my eyes they shine like pearls, open wide to see you standing there
realise your heart unfurled
wonder if you even know my name
next day starts, this the weak part
spent the whole damn day inside, somehow we hit a restart
just as i depart, i lean in for a kiss
don't know why i tried it, knew for sure it was a miss
i overstepped, i missed the mark, i played my cards, took it to heart
sitting lonely by the window, watching as the wind blow
i'd cut down the forest to write the feelings that you didn't know
but now it's time to go onto the next
nobody here that looks like you, hard going back from the best
i didn't past the test, now only dreams of where we could've been
can't seem to keep shame off of me

the cross
04:40
|
|||
empty hearted, so empty hearted
why am i still a target though i made it through the hardship
it's the hardest thing i ever did; turned my back for a lack of something better
names in dust that never settled, turn to diamond, all this pressure
weighing on my spirit something heavy
still looking for what deity protect me
must be blessed, somehow this hole in my chest never swallowed all the guilt
all the grovelling i did
turn me inside out, see what i am without
this tapestry of tragedy i sew with my words
polish every lyric so my pain ain't unheard
another night of shallow thoughts, i can't seem to stop swimming
even on the good days feel my heart's in the deep end
all these vices that i depend, i ain't a thing without them
even in dreams i'm drowning, can't see a way around it
did you forget my name? don't blame you if you tried
frankly lost as you on how i'm still alive
said you graduated? you're seeing someone new?
that's amazing, can't express the joy i feel for you
and me? just the same as you left
stuck in a black hole, each day is a cycle
and if there's no shade in the shadow of the cross
then god don't know my name
if there's no shade in the shadow of the cross then god don't know my name
i can't carry on
i can't find myself
i feel so apart
something eats my heart
i'm just trying to
be a better me
my fingers slip now
apple from the tree
if you find the cross
everything i've lost
buried underneath
secrets that we keep
i can't keep hiding
i can't keep hiding
cross burning depth on my chest, weight heavy
as i endlessly scroll through the texts, what's next?
it ain't a hole that i ain't hide in, enough to keep my pride in
ain't no dam to hold the tide in
i'm a fucking leaky faucet; no point in trying to force it
drained of everything but colour, i'll be nothing when the storm hits
seasick, i'm nauseous
wave goodbye too many times, pray for my twilight voyage but it never comes
overworked, my day is never done
ghosts from past lives haunting me as if i don't remember them
memories could fill a cemetery, stories fill the river
looking for my saviour, this bitter taste i savour
wrapped in multicolour paper, peel the label
waste another week away trying to be stable
burning holes in newer clothes, cigarettes to warm the lows
brandy for the highs, this constant loop that i despise
if there's no shade in the shadow of the cross then god don't know my name

insurmountable
04:00
|
|||
i've lost my reason now
presence is a privilege that i was just allowed
if everyone's got mountains then i'm not the only one
i am not the everest, i still block out the sun
and i cannot make sense of it right now
(insurmountable, makes no sense at all)
and i am memories behind your eyes
i thought i'd left a mark
in time, everything decays, you'll find
but there's beauty where i stand
and i cannot make sense of it right now
(insurmountable, makes no sense at all)

looking in
03:08
|
|||
i am nothing but the time i spent
looking in
and i can't hide the way they do
i'm not bulletproof
glass shatters into dust
iron always turns to rust
there's beauty in decay
i'll make art my dying day
(there's beauty in decay)

decide what is right
03:21
|
|||
who are you to decide what is right?
who are you to say what is mine?
waiting on the wave i said goodbye too many times
waiting on the wave i said goodbye
let it float over me like i ever tried, i never tried
who are you to decide what is right?
who are you to say what is mine?
lost and tired, the waves crashing below me
echo through the walls that could not hold me
i am just a parody reflecting who we are
i am just a shadow of my old self
you are just a memory on my shelf
i still hang the pictures that remind me who we are
and you hold a special place in my memory
pedestal that couldn't ever hold me
who'd have guessed that life could be this lonely?
nothing left but solace here to hold me
but i am not the only one here

shade
02:10
|
|||
i'm at the point in my life where i fear
going to work, it might be easier
killing myself for some shine in the media
get one or two plays, not aiming for fame from the grave
just a break from the same
cyclic living got my head straight spinning
drink every night just to cope, how i'm living
nothing to say anymore, it's a joke, i'm ashamed, i admit i'm in pain
waking up to struggle not an honour
probably not even worth a coffin
just leave me in the shade, sunny day
mistakes all i made
my legacy, a few smoked butts and a hard drive full of shit, never amounted to much
standards that i can't keep up, memories i wish i'd lost, people that i can't move from
my life in the barrel of the gun, i'm the hairpin trigger, never met one quicker
zero to one hundred, i'm one hundred to none
beat all the odds, probably wish that i'd just move on
to another life, to another place to hide
to another life, another shell to hide
