Fallout 03:09
Look at you Oh what have you done These actions of yours have nearly killed someone Why are you trying to get away? Her bones break your conscience I think you should stay But why would I stay when it was not my fault You saw what happened, let this happen Forever and ever, this thought in my mind This guilt sets my temper while rage claims the throne So I run Run far away I’ll cut my own hands and feet to escape And I know this house ain’t a home I’m broken and bleeding We watched you through the darkest nights It haunted us, but we need your advice We have a problem with playing nice You’ll be living with us…smile Listen up, she fights for attention I can’t give He is withdrawn And she don’t talk anymore So I run, run far away I’ll cut my own hands and feet to escape And I know this house ain’t a home I’m broken and bleeding I feel all alone Take them to the roof Make them watch Push her off the edge Make them watch So I run Run far away I’ll cut my own hands and feet to escape And I know this house ain’t a home I’m broken and bleeding We should have said more, but we didn’t say more

Maverick 03:19
Take a scalpel, sort my insides Stab at my lungs, drain what’s warm Filled with winter, sew me up, make me yours Look in its eyes It’s what we wanted Look at its face It’s what we needed You built me up and you gave me a name Hard wired yourself to the center of my eyes Had my brain soaking in chemicals But you never knew I would be different than you You’re in my blood stream anchoring sedatives, inducing sleep You’re scaling my spine, broke in my thought life Fixing my dreams and guarding my wake You love a part of me and call it the whole Rejecting passion in me that makes me feel full Guilting me of what I do Like acid on my skin you bite to break through You built me up and you gave me a name Hard wired yourself to the center of my eyes Had my brain soaking in chemicals But you never knew I would be different than you Hands tied down, gas in my lungs, mouth sewed shut, eyes pried open. Voices close, can’t understand them Until they scream in my ears You built me up and you gave me a name Hard wired yourself to the center of my eyes Had my brain soaking in chemicals But you never knew I would be different than you I would be different than you You do not own me You do not feel what I feel

War Room 03:32
You almost died Flanked at the left Look to the right The sun blinds my eyes There has to be more As I awake from nightmares I see you next to me You sit up and listen so carefully Please help me Held hostage again I wish I was dead Wishing I was dead There has to be more As I awake from nightmares I see you next to me You sit up and listen so carefully Speaking softly, assuring me, so comforting Digging graves by myself Dirty and alone Pain felt so real Wake up This is an ambush Mortar ahead You better find a friend, or you’re better off dead Fighting a battle, lose every time Against myself I come undone As I awake from nightmares I see you next to me You sit up and listen so carefully Speaking softly, assuring me, so comforting This is a landslide Bombs up ahead You better find a friend or you’re better off dead

Oasis 03:31
Sand on my feet Burning my skin I need shade or I will surely die Searching for what I can’t find When I arrive, nothing but more distance to go Desire’s dead I’ve been crawling through deserts, searching in vain I’ve been feeling for nothing It all is the same The journey doesn’t end It keeps me until I’m dead Water up ahead Getting closer Searching for what I can’t find When I arrive, nothing but more distance to go Desire’s dead I’ve been crawling through deserts, searching in vain I’ve been feeling for nothing It all is the same I don’t know if I can take anymore This wasn’t worth it. Snakes around me Vultures in flight Waiting for their prey Waiting for the dead Searching for nothing, searching in vain I’ve been crawling through deserts, searching in vain I’ve been feeling for nothing It all is the same

Shoreline 03:14
I’m long gone, hopeless and frowned upon I can’t swim back Water rises in my head I start to think when I’m alone My mind is an ocean No one will save me, but You And as the level rises Rescue me I’m far from Too far from shore No matter what I do, I drown Rot in the sea Is that the plan? I swam out here I can only blame myself Water rises in my head I start to think when I’m alone My mind is an ocean No one will save me, but You And as the level rises I give myself to You Can’t be contained by a shore Rescue me I will drown here I can’t move the ocean Voices in my head When I’m alone I tread Pride makes waves of doubt And in my wake, I feel alone Water rises in my head I start to think when I’m alone My mind is an ocean No one will save me, but You And as the level rises Rescue me Can’t be contained by a shore
