wave goodbye darling to the life that we once knew stop searching for gold lost all day among the lifeless its time to break through will the edges of my heart dull this restless love? i cant say don't turn back dont delay cuz nothing goes right till the moment u arrive dont give up on the sidelines just keep your heart in mind dont leave yourself behind then the past came back looking unfit to move forward and i fell to my knees then fought back n moved past it singing my mistakes with my friends that believe will the grandeurs of my heart always be forgotten i cant say dont turn back dont delay cuz nothing goes right till the moment u arrive dont give up on the sidelines just keep your head up high dont leave yourself behind oh how could i ever let you down could there ever once be a moment that makes this worth it

Tired 04:08
till the fog comes and the rains say ive been outdated when the fox comes with the pills ingesting our hatred then the truth told us its name and the whole room fell silent you can deny it all you want but you cant try to face it you can deny it all you want but u cant try to face me noone cares for me noone tries to stop me no one here really knows me if youre so tired try to go sleep we were lying thru our teeth to just try to face this & theres something in the way the wind keeps on howling and im left here in the wake but i guess ill keep trying you can dent it all you want but you cant try to face it you can deny it all you want but you cant try to face me flower in the dirt growing thru the pavement numb limbs sitting wrong mind goes vacant

Sew Me Up 03:26
said oh my god quit wasting time just light me up this days been rough ... im loosing blood would you sew me up in light of such a dark time we laugh it off then both cry when u left that night I walked inside and shed a tear of all the fools it could of been its u & me here from geneva to canoga & the life we left home over distance can come fast but we must always see thru the rose glass with our vices on display like a gold watch its the pain that brought us here that grew us up.. that grew us up as the full moon soared above the yard i followed thru with blood shot eyes & a stupid smile i thought of u in light of such dark time i laugh it off & then cry distance can come fast but we must always see thru the rose glass with our vices on display like a gold watch its the pain that brought us here that grew us up.. that grew us up

Easier 03:42
backlit by candle light torn between- your spirit breaks waiting nothing you want in life is coming towards ya you reaching watching it go right by theres nothing left to say about it the color start to fade but what doesn't what doesnt is it easier to run? riverbed siren sing your song

L U C K Y 02:11
shivering cold i was lying there naked i looked to my right n i saw her there still in a dream angel unaware its always the hard parts that keep our wheels turning last night in the darkness you felt undeserving but i want you to know yr lights my guidance & without u i would b stumbling sightless lucky as a charm shes sparking a match in the dark

Take It 04:10
So much pain Developed at an early age They lost all hope for her in the year she was left alone Eyes the deepest ive ever known Beauty unphased by the flowers growin Her knife is sinking in No i wont complain Ya i can take it I can take it Left too late & Found her worried burning sage Spirit yearning tryn to find some peace at mind Her light- my favorite star in the sky & the only one to bring my darkest nights was it something i said? i was suffering i wasn't ending was it something i said? as always i will be waiting hiding something again thinking that was okay all for nothing all for nothing all this fighting i cant i wouldn't tell u how to feel i wouldnt lie i wouldnt lie

Push Back 02:51
speak when spoken to or hold your breath just suffer thru the bleak until then don't worry bout the blaring static wearing you numb feeling crazy and ill wondering when your time will come push back stay strong stay true to the ones you love don't hold back any tears keep your fears as far away as the stars above leave it all behind its not your mess just follow the golden light in the distance till your running out down the street losing your mind trying to keep your cool while all your dreams slip out of sight push back stay strong stay true to the ones you love don't hold back any tears keep your fears as far away as the stars above just far enough lets leave it all behind lets leave it all behind quick now - we must move fast stay strong - don't let the let the moment pass stay strong
