Fortune Teller 03:58
lyrics
Look into my eyes Read my lips if you can't hear The prophecy's come true Our end is coming near Fear runs colder than your blood Spread like poison in your veins Give me one last heartbeat Your life will never be the same This is where we bury our dead (Our dead, our dead) This is where we bury our dead (Our dead) So read the lines that run across my hands Will I die and have to start again? So read the lines that run across my hands Will I die and have to start again? Look into my eyes Read my lips if you can't hear The prophecy's come true Our end is coming near Fear runs colder than your blood Spread like poison in your veins Give me one last heartbeat Your life will never be the same This is where you've made your bed (So sleep, so sleep) This is where we bury our dead (Our dead) So read the lines that run across my hands Will I die and have to start again? So read the lines that run across my hands Will I die and have to start again? This is where you've made your bed (So sleep, so sleep) This is where we bury our dead It only gets worse from here It only gets worse from here So read the lines that run across my hands Will I die and have to start again? I'm not ready, but I'll give in To pain, and hell I'll descend Look into my eyes Read my lips if you can't hear The prophecy's come true Our end is coming near This is not the end Don't count down the days in fear If the fortune's coming true The end, is here The last thing you can do Is close your eyes and pray That everyone was wrong That it's just an off day Hope they read the tarot wrong The crystal ball was fake Maybe the teller never told the truth Cause lying's a piece of cake Look into my eyes Read my lips if you can't hear The prophecy's come true The end, is here

Let Me In 03:42
lyrics
(Never find a place to call my own) I walk these stairs with a gun to my head And I said, and I said I can't take much more of this, More of this I walk these halls and I'm ready to die Nowhere to go, nothing left inside Why won't you just let me in, Let me inside? The door is locked but these walls are thin Just let me in, just let me in Why won't you just let me inside Of your mind? I'm reaching out but you're giving in Just let me help, let it out I said I'd be here, I never lied So let me in, just let me inside I walk these stairs with a gun to my head And I said, and I said I can't take much more of this, More of this I walk these halls and I'm ready to die Nowhere to go, nothing left inside Why won't you just let me in, Let me inside? Over these mountains of ice and snow My feet carry me, no matter where they go I can never find a place that I can call my home I walk these stairs with a gun to my head And I said, and I said I can't take much more of this, More of us I walk these halls and I'm ready to die Nowhere to go, nothing left inside Why won't you just let me in, Let me inside? Oh velvet wings and crystal skies I'd give you anything to stay Another night I walk these stairs with a gun to my head And I said, and I said Have you ever felt so alone? (Never find a place to call my own) The door is locked but these walls are thin I'll break them down cause your love is poison Won't you let me in? Just let me in

Sand Castles 02:44
lyrics
My lungs contract Begging to breathe I close my eyes But I can never sleep Timepieces lose seconds Visions begin to slow The sights I see begin to blur This world I cease to know Waking up, real slow From a dream I've never had This nightmare's not Contained in my head Will I walk this road alone? The sky is falling faster than we've known And as my world comes crashing down In ashes I find my heart and home I'm broken, and the wounds? I cannot be saved Take me for granted Just end my pain Stitch me Though your efforts are in vain Just leave me to die Or catch a cold from the rain Waking up, real slow From a dream I've never had This nightmare's not Contained in my head Will I walk this road alone? The sky is falling faster than we've known Why is it, the darkest roads Are the only ones that bring me home? Is this the monster, I've become? Or the man I've been, all along? I'd die to know what it's like To feel alive And I'm so sick of being alone As much as I'd love to end it all I pray this emptiness carries me home I took everything inside my heart And spilt it out, along the shore Never once did I question the tides The ocean told me, I should want more Waking up, real slow From a dream I've never had This nightmare's not Contained in my head (This nightmare's not contained in my head) The sky is falling faster than we've known

Like Leeches 02:49
lyrics
I can't believe I called you my friend I covered for you Time and time again You took my throne But I'll steal your crown Built on lies, I'll tear your empire to the ground All that you owed me You fucking burned Not that I expected For you to return This isn't over I'll crush your dreams Here I am, where you're supposed to be Life has no place for liars Trust me one day you will see I held the keys You'll come crawling back to me You took my throne But I'll steal your crown Built on lies, I'll tear your empire to the ground Hard work meant nothing You fed us all with lies We'll find our way to the top Visions of fame in your eyes You live like leeches Of energy you drain me I'm sick and tired of the way you treat me Hard work meant nothing You wasted my time I'm better off without you And to victory I'll climb Hard work meant nothing You wasted my time I'm better off without you And to victory I'll climb This isn't over I'll crush your dreams Here I am, where you're supposed to be Life has no place for liars Trust me one day you will see I held the keys You'll come crawling back to me You were supposed to be there My brother 'till the end Turns out you were so full of shit What a crummy friend Out of everything inside There's one thing I want to say Fuck you You are the enemy

Where The Sky Meets The Water 03:56
lyrics
These stormy skies And ocean blue It was the waves That tore me from you I'm on my own I can't conquer these waves And the depth of the ocean grew So I need them, I need them To bring me back to you I'm on my own I'm on my own Where the sky meets the water That's where you'll find me Swimming slowly sinking Waiting for you Where the sky meets the water I'll be buried at sea Maybe, these waves will bring you back to me When the sky meets the water Then I'll learn to swim Until then I'll count my breaths like bittersweet blessings And I shall not rest until a piece of me is no longer missing Where the sky meets the water That's where you'll find me Swimming slowly sinking Waiting for you I'm a sailor of these open waters Stranded with no crew This shipwrecked heart These blackened bones The tide's too low To come home to you I'm all alone Where the sky meets the water That's where you'll find me Swimming slowly sinking Waiting for you Where the sky meets the water I'll be buried at sea Maybe, these waves will bring you back to me When the sky meets the water Then I'll learn to swim Until then I'll count my breaths like bittersweet blessings And I shall not rest until a piece of me is no longer missing Where the sky meets the water That's where you'll find me Swimming slowly sinking Waiting for you Where the sky meets the water That's where you'll find me Swimming slowly sinking Waiting for you Where the sky meets the water I'll be buried at sea Drifting, floating endlessly On this horizon

Thick Walls and Heavy Sleepers 03:26
lyrics
Reharvest this energy from my body And send it back to the sun Allow me to leave this vessel empty In the hopes that my soul can be born again Who the hell wants me? Wouldn't this way be so damn easy? Don't tell me I'm the only one Don't tell me, because I know I'm sorry I ever woke up I'm afraid to go to sleep Cause everything I've ever known Lies broken, forced to defeat I'm the skeleton in your closet And the monster under your bed Why would you act so fucking ashamed If it's fear you're feeling instead? I'm sorry I ever woke up I'm afraid to go to sleep Cause everything I've ever known Lies broken, forced to defeat Who the hell wants me? Wouldn't this way be so damn easy? Don't tell me I'm the only one Don't tell me, because I know Life doesn't get easier And depression never leaves Every day we carry on Longer nights and longer sleeves The winner? My demons by default Cause I surrender The winner? My demons by default This anxiety is eating me alive I want to die I want to die Once it's bonded to your soul Once you've both crossed paths It always comes back It always comes back I'm the skeleton in your closet And the monster under your bed Why would you act so fucking ashamed If it's fear you're feeling instead? Who the hell wants me? Wouldn't this way be so damn easy Life doesn't get eaiser And depression never leaves Every day we carry on (Every day we carry on) Every day we carry on This is not the end This is not the end This is not the end I will rise again
