Royal 04:42
lyrics

Ruined royal rendered wrong And all you are, an ardent abandoned Excited effigy ending enlightenment Don't let it go Not a day goes by I don't watch and wonder why Why I did nothing A thousand dreamless nights I wonder whether your brush still strikes Bloom into something Anything A crystal clear canvas, the cruelest of crimes Please, don't let it go Ruined royal, ride the wreck And all you avoid, an artist arrested Entropy escapable eating energy Replaceable, I promise Don't let it go Not a day goes by I don't watch and wonder why Why I did nothing A thousand dreamless nights I wonder whether your brush still strikes Bloom into something Anything A crystal clear canvas, the cruelest of crimes Please, don't let it go You'll say there's no need for the apology that won't be enough to set me free Just let me carry this guilt if you're losing grip on your pen I can't blame you, I can't blame the circumstances that brought our ships abreast then separately shipwrecked Losing the best before it had its time to shine, to be blessed But I can blame me, please let me blame me, I can't let it go Please Don't let it go Not a day goes by I don't watch and wonder why Why I did nothing A thousand dreamless nights I wonder whether your brush still strikes Bloom into something Anything A crystal clear canvas, the cruelest of crimes Please You're regal, you're royal A blue rose perennial Don't let it go Don't let it go

You Get Used To It 03:37
lyrics

Do you feel it? Does it burn in your bones? Doesn't matter, never gonna amputate the necrosis Do you see it? As it melts down your home? No concern, slow burns don't hurt so bad in the short scheme of it You get used to the needles and the trip wires You get used to the glow of the nuclear fire You get calloused to the strange, the unpleasant things You get used to the fog that obfuscates the decay Just forget it It's not that big of a deal Let him falsify that scapegoat with a lock of your hair Just repress it Until it doesn't feel real Did it ever happen as it's written or is the rewrite right about your hot air You get used to the needles and the trip wires You get used to the glow of the nuclear fire You get calloused to the strange, the unpleasant things You get used to the fog that obfuscates the decay You get used to it You need to understand you're not to blame You're not responsible for what's inflicted on your brain How can it be bad With a frequent laugh track? The fights seem so far from the min max roll of the dice Do you hear that? The faint voice in the back Everything is gonna be just fine as long as you remember to stay in lineg You get used to the needles and the trip wires You get used to the glow of the nuclear fire You get calloused to the strange, the unpleasant things You get used to the fog that obfuscates the decay You get used to the needles and the trip wires You get used to the glow of the nuclear fire You get calloused to the strange, the unpleasant things You get used to the fog that obfuscates the decay You get used to it You get used to it You get used to it

A Dangerous Pull (Kate-Sea Cover) 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Summertime hits and we meet up in the city A long year gone and you feel like a remedy Just what I long for, the things we make time for The summer heat fades over mountains in the valley And we have another drink in the bar by the alley Just what we needed, after everything that we've been The silence on your end, the other voice I chose to fill it with Can we take a couple days just to pretend? Live a lost moment before our time ends It's never gonna happen It wasn't mean to you know And you still feel the same but you're learning to let go And the tide's still calling you off course from your home And you're learning to ignore it But it's a dangerous pull Let's disappear, we'll escape from the crowds No sleep on the drive to the shores of the south There's nothing like the ocean to bring you back to your dreams of the past again The waves crash hard and you jump right in, without fear of the current, without even thinking The wild sea, the safe land Make a choice or you'll burn on the sand The lost days we regret, the other things we chose to fill them with Can we take a couple days just to pretend? Rewind like we're living in the start again It's never gonna happen It wasn't mean to you know And you still feel the same but you're learning to let go And the tide's still calling you off course from your home And you're learning to ignore it But it's a dangerous pull

Passion Protection 04:21
lyrics
It's been half a dozen forty years My fingers perfect, clean, and clear You'd never know they once fret rhythms taut Somehow I turned myself around My heart had lost all its sense of sound The dusty strat no longer screams to the gods of rock Everyone gets tired eventually and the party lights have gotta dim Why can't we stay forever young? Stacked across the shelf and through the roof Drowning in rust and sad from lack of use Who knows if the brass contacts will still even be read Somehow I got myself fucked up My heart had lost all its sense of fun The dusty pad no longer saves the princess at the end Everyone gets tired eventually and the party lights have gotta dim Why can't we stay forever young? It's a shame the blame that's placed on age How you lose the love and lose the rage Can anyone say when we stopped going insane? Does time really have to break our faith? Or can we find a way back home? Pick up the pick and fret a chord Just like a dozen forty times before You can hear the history in the triad's voice Pick up the stick and press on right Journey 'til the sight of morning light Making time to enlight a life never stopped being a choice Everyone gets tired eventually and the party lights have gotta dim Why can't we take our loves with us? It's a shame the blame that's placed on age Don't wanna lose the love or lose the rage Time won't claim the fame of driving me sane We can always rebuild our broken faith It's a shame the blame that's placed on age I won't lose the love, won't lose the rage Time won't claim the fame of driving me sane We can always rebuild our broken faith We can find a way back home

Black Hole 06:06
lyrics
Down the divide into endless expanse A void ever midnight consuming all our best laid plans Staring at what was once a healer's hands Finding myself frozen in bloodied broken trance All fire finds a fatal fade A black hole can't eat this pain We walked the burning plains for days on end One step ahead of the scythe grazing our necks The man in black investing in a poisoned breath Looked away just a moment, where's my friend? Two lives lost to liar lame A black hole can't eat this pain Wandering the burning plains for days at a time Haunted by the memory of a life that the Devil dined Horizon's edge stretches with no end in sight These monsters of madness won't release my mind Old sin sees no soul sane A black hole can't eat this pain Broken dreams in the land of the midnight sun Black dog burning away what remains of this husk Horizon's event pulls on what refuses to run But still it can't swallow this languishing love A bare bottle a beggar's bane A black hole can't eat this pain Down the divide into endless expanse A void ever midnight consuming all our best laid plans Staring at what was once a healer's hands Finding myself frozen in bloodied broken trance All fire finds a fatal fade A black hole can't eat this pain

Shadows 03:24
lyrics
Twisted mind running twisted halls Gravity grind 'til tired heart falls Coughing up blood Shadows on the wall, spine snap straight What do they want and why do they wait? Better stay chained (Illuminate) (Illuminate) No, wait Split down the middle, ripped right apart One, two, three share a drained heart How evil we think Nobody talk now, nobody speak Gotta face the wall, don't dare see They who own shadows Look at your feet Live lightless night long enough you'll find Burn down the whole forest and your poor mind A trail of bodies in the flame's wake How do you heal when you won't see what's broke? How do you learn when you won't hear what's spoke? Better break chains A few steps forward toward reality warp Strange sight, strange mind once brought forth The shadows were yours It's okay Cast by a ray from the opposite way (Illuminate) (Illuminate) It's okay

North Star Light 05:43
lyrics
Remember when there was a time when words had a rhyme And an honesty you could count on Cooler heads prevailed against all the evils that assailed Love reigned supreme over all odds But the things you believe change their colors like the leaves A disenchanting autumn breeze Minds hardened like clay caught between the mold and the break Compassless at sea We all get lost in a fearstruck midnight Fall off the path we once thought memorized Keep your eyes to the skies for that north star light We're closer than we realize I'm in love with a girl who hates her whole world Penance every chance she gets She's made some mistakes and she can't shake the shame Feeding the monsters in the attic So how do you save someone who feels only blame Is a question I don't know how to answer How long do you hold onto the smallest spark of hope Before it turns to cancer? We all get lost in a fearstruck midnight Fall off the path we once thought memorized Keep your eyes to the skies for that north star light We're closer than we realize I want to believe that the good are not beyond hope Even if the spark of a shooting star don't seem so close We just gotta kick off the dust and fight past the dark Redemption remains in the cards We all get lost in a fearstruck midnight Fall off the path we once thought memorized Keep your eyes to the skies for that north star light We're closer than we realize Keep your eyes to the skies for that north star light We're closer than we realize

Drain Deep 06:41
lyrics
I tell myself that this is right, this is the way things need to be Do for her, don't worry about me, about what it is I need Like it's just what I need And so it's her happiness that I'm hunting My belly's getting tight, my pulse is getting thin Like string Like it's just what I need It's a mistake I make I may never see Do you live to love or do you love to live? Don't tip those scales too far to those edges Do you love to live or do you live to love? Don't cut too deep, don't drain all your blood You'll drown before you fill her cup I knew where I was headed, I'd be left unrequited Do for her, unsolicited, unconditionally I've bled Like it's just what she could use And so it's for her happiness that I put on this search Whether it's with me or him or her or whoever She needs Like it's just what I need It's a mistake I make I may never see Do you live to love or do you love to live? Don't tip those scales too far to those edges Do you love to live or do you live to love? Don't cut too deep, don't drain all your blood You'll drown before you fill her cup Like a track on repeat, this playlist never finishes Can't remember the opener, never hear the finale Just stuck on the single indefinitely It's a mistake I make I may never see Over and over now Do you live to love or do you love to live? Don't tip those scales too far to those edges Do you love to live or do you live to love? Don't cut too deep, don't drain all your blood Do you live to love or do you love to live? Don't tip those scales too far to those edges Do you love to live or do you live to love? Don't cut too deep, don't drain all your blood You'll drown before you fill her cup

You Can Run Away 07:10
lyrics
What does it take to run away? Try to find a great escape? It's a lot harder to try to stay To try to fix what's gone astray Demons eat at your brain And it drives me insane You won't try it out the way I took away my own pain It's easier to go But which path leads you home? It's always, "I can't, it won't work for me" I'm here to say that's a wrong way to think If you start from failure, of course your ships sink I know you can, and I wish you could see You're not sure it's even right To hit reset on your life There's a less destructive path to try But you've sold yourself a path awry It's easier to go But which path leads you home? It's always, "I can't, it won't work for me" I'm here to say that's a wrong way to think If you start from failure, of course your ships sink I know you can, and I wish you could see See what happiness really means See how to reclaim all your dreams See where it is you run away See why it won't fix a thing Bags are packed and ready to go Just one last thing I want you to know Don't stand idle to take control Don't block your ears to people who know The winds of change won't blow If you don't take that first step home It's always, "I can't, it won't work for me" I'm here to say that's a wrong way to think If you start from failure, of course your ships sink I know you can, and I wish you could see
