I don't know who you are, you're the spring and sun And I can't relate, I can't see your true face and the pills, I threw them away, said I was fine A few times, it was all a life frontin' I have become no-one became no-one You don't know who I am, I'm a lightning storm and I can't retrace those lines no, I can't stay in place Those thoughts I smoked them away said I was done A few times, it was all a life frontin' I have become no-one became no-one You don't know who I am, I'm a lightning storm

It's a terrible thing to have to feel pain to know you're alive It's a beautiful thing to have to feel pain to know you're alive Been looking for the answers of everything that's gone wrong Been searching for the solution Been searching way too long So I'm breaking all my windows Let the sound pour out Mistaking all my signals This is a cry for help Introspection's a hobby Examining your soul When your seams unravel You said I was once whole A perfect little machine Turned to broken rust A schematic of perfection Yellow crumbled dust So pick up your sad pieces and pull yourself together The time you have is limited Who wants to break forever? Hey Pull yourself together hpyt hpyt hpyt hpyt //pullyrselftogether//

Throwaway 03:44
What are you to do? You were just following the rules Took a liking to everyone, including all the fools Tired of the snow, it's the same: wherever I will go, you won't go. Pack up all your things. It's so easy to forget all the memories. All the blood you sweat and all the things I hide Lost yourself inside the machine You threw away your life tayl tayl But at least you tried What are you to do? You were just following the rules

Rain Falls 03:27
Took all the time that you needed Still can't see what you're seeing Everything's falling in line Can't understand, understand why The rain falls the way she does Everyone is falling in love There's nothing now that you uphold You're crawling back the same old hole There's nothing now that you uphold The shape of your eyes tells no lies, I know Took all the times I heard you lie Broke all your bottles, can't hear my cry Screams are echoing off the walls You don't care, that's not my fault And you act the way you do, you can't make an excuse tnntyu ycbtsoh tnntyu Your smile was warm but it grows so cold tnntyu ycbtsoh tnntyu When wrong makes right, it's time to go The rain falls the way she does Everyone is falling in love And you act the way you do you can't make an excuse trftwsd eifil ayatwyd ycmae

Flood 03:24
Flood is coming, the waters rise Too pure to purify and soon we'll all be gone Oceans will cover the plains the cities lost, submersive graves and soon we'll all be gone It's all gonna get washed away It's gonna be a brand new day Seas will swell, rapids rage Consequences of what we made Just watch The levee break And so we thought that one day We were going to die in flames Ironic It will be rain iaggwa igbabnd We've no choice but to wait Erasing all of what we've made Tears on A windowpane One last breath, one last play A futile attempt to belay the end of what we've made iaggwa igbabnd iaggwa igbabnd

Willow Trees 05:28
Lost my place on the page Maybe it's from staying up late Legs twitch and pupils sting I press it together, it's nothing So fill the evening with smoke Cut down your (?) Find a subtle way to cope Yeah we've all got some place we need to go And I've seen better things Away from crowded cities Lost my faith in the race Maybe I won't be save My spirit's gone, my heart still burns Got some problems, they're getting worse So fill your stomach with hope Anxiety, cut at the throat The answer's, they'll elope Yeah we've all got someplace we need to go And I've seen better things Away from crowded cities And I've seen All my dreams Sway like willow trees willow trees

Graceful 04:07
This graceful world has lost its touch; So quick to fill our pockets, no we can't get enough But no certainty of change has come Their lies stack with their bullets and guns But we've gotta wake up From the dreams we hide in The tides they'll shake us awake This graceless world has lost so much, it's falling apart at the seams Though we're brothers and sisters, we all chase conflicting dreams But we've gotta wake up From the dreams we hide in the tides they'll shake us awake Goodbye everyone I'm flying out to the sea You'll see me in another life, you'll see me in a dream But we've gotta wake up from the dreams we hide in the tides will shake us awake

Calmly you're approaching him and surely you are leaving me Pitiful lies and curious steps and Undoubtfully you will remember me I'd open the door and hold your hand I was just glad that I was your man Can't believe your eyes, I can't believe that smile it's as fake as your attitude but it's the least that you could do and I haven't seen a realist for miles This turning of age, this molding page Well it could never get through to you Like a glass wall you're breaking now You're poorly built and you will fall down Why would I waste my time thinking of you? Why would I waste my time thinking of you? I know what they say, you know what I want, I'm sick of all your negative thoughts Cars and trains are all the same Thunderstorms and august rain January freezing chronic pain I walked you home down the lane Memories of staying up late I slept in your bed and woke up to a beautiful face Why would I waste my time thinking of you? Why would I waste my time thinking of you? Brush a shore and ocean coast Follow my lead, I'll sing you a toast Grab your shoes and hear your song All the notes and chords are wrong Drown my car in the sea, I'll drive my boat up on the streets Begging you please to hold on tight My arm's steady Speak three words in a swarm I haven't seen you like this before Calmly glance we had our chance Why would I waste my time thinking of you? Why would I waste my time thinking of you?

Think Before 04:58
Think before you react Maybe I can relax You know I won't Time will swallow us whole Inside her fragile shell We all wait alone Singing songs just to get along Scream at the gods in the sky, now what is the point When they know, when they know that you are wrong all the time? You're Nervous You're judgment's ill Your dreams scare you still The dusk has come With the night, its endless sky Old shadows are standing by You know you can't hide I've been there I've seen all the times you tried to block out the sun when it ruins your sight just pull the pieces together, just make it right And cut into my spine take away all my pride The time here is lost The moments that willow down can't hear can't hear the clouds as they roll on by I've been there, I've seen all the times you cried Can't sort through the shit when it hits your head, it's alright I've been there, I've seen all the times you cried.
