Before 04:56
If I woke up in a sobbing sweat And you said to me that I was dead I wouldn’t be shocked at all If he came to me with eyes of red and he said to me that I was dead Your name would be my final call So close your eyes and dream of tomorrow There’s no more lies and no more sorrow You led me out before You carry hope into my head Though you know that I will soon be dead It’s the greatest gift of all My life is hanging by a thread But with you here in my bed I’m high and cannot fall So close your eyes and dream of tomorrow There’s no more lies and no more sorrow You led me out before

I feel our paths are non-convergent but this urge is taking me I feel it's over but I drove her into the arms of insanity I must be leaving, maybe drowning in a world so dark inside A path that's bending, never ending leaving truth no place to hide We can do black magick in the rain We'll hide our sorrow and our pain Voodoo, rum, and cigarettes So the smoke can tell us what happens next Give me one last chance, just one more dance The sun never shined on us anyway Light the fire, feel inspired We'll find some final words to say Pick a dying flower for each hour Feel our heat combine, your's and mine There's something tragic in this magick For one last time in our prime

I fell asleep with a noose around my neck And I woke up to a strange light And what happens next leads me to believe That we've lived a hard life And what happens now? She said goodbye As I looked up at the night sky I was here for her, I wish she was here for me This isn't how it should be And now our story takes a strange turn I'm strong enough to get through this I've said it before, she was my best friend I'm strong enough to get through this I've done it before and I'll do it again He always had a strength everyone could see A strength that inspired me But when the times got tough, and the fog got thick He fell in a dark abyss What happens now? They said he died So I moved on with my own life I'm afraid for him, no, I'm afraid for me I guess this is how it's gonna be And now our story takes a strange turn I'm strong enough to get through this I've said it before, he was my best friend I'm strong enough to get through this I've done it before and I'll do it again You have your demons, so do I They took you for granted, you said goodbye But I'm here for you after all I can't see you fall You're strong enough to get through this I've said it before, you were my best friend You're strong enough to get through this You've done it before and you'll do it again

For You 04:57
I dig a hole 6 feet in the ground And in the silence I hear an echo, a soft harmonic sound Did you mean it? The contemplated sacrificial mound Rising up from our hearts as they're buried underground I feel something, but the love I knew is faded away With the butterflies of a life past that you threw in my face I'm not nervous, I made up for it in one perfect lay I pulled her hair back and I told her I would like her to stay I long for the day that I know I feel nothing for you But for now I feel hatred, so I guess that will do I long for the day when your name has fallen off of my tongue It seems so distant but I know that my work here is done In the morning I wake up In that moment I forgot what you've done I long for the day I feel nothing for you But for now hatred will do Hold up I forgot to tell you one thing I hope you're happy, I hope you're happy, I hope that you're suffering I'll Stand back in the solace of knowing you're gone An epic solitary moment in the life of a pawn I'm not angry nor do I strive to be The haunting visage of your body lying on me Has been replaced by something better, something perfect and sweet A younger version of perversion that left it's flavor on me In the morning I wake up In that moment I forgot what you've done I long for the day I feel nothing for you But for now hatred will do

Breakthrough 04:02
Last night I dreamt of you I was seeing no face, you were being replaced By the silhouette of a girl That time could never tell after being through hell I'm strong enough I tell myself Reaching for some hope on the highest shelf I'm strong enough I tell myself Looking for some hope on the bottom shelf ​I'm having trouble seeing through All the anger and the pain, the snow and the rain All I needed was a breakthrough I'll take it day by day, now you're fading away From me I'm getting over everything The words that you said made me wish I was dead And God knows that I tried I'll move on with my life Through the struggle and the strife
6.
Parry 04:26
I took the time to make you feel at home and understood I made sure there was a sense of belonging Like no one ever could But I knew what was going on, I knew it was no good I wish "I told you so" felt better, but it doesn't I'll make this crystal clear I hope your name you hear In every angry verse My poison works like mortal fear Go live in all your lies With broken alibis In your wicked paradise While praying karma dies Thrust, parry, thrust, parry, thrust You justify bad behavior Thrust, parry, thrust, parry, trust I'm laughing in your face Thrust, parry, thrust, parry, just Needed some new flavor Thrust, parry, thrust, parry, must Let me know how the truth tastes She lied to save money, but she sure loves eating out She demonizes those she betrays, in many ways You've become complicit, complacent It's worth knowing about But liars lie, and cheaters cheat, you're both both I'll make this crystal clear I hope your name you hear In every angry verse My poison works like mortal fear Go live in all your lies With broken alibis In your wicked paradise While praying karma dies Thrust, parry, thrust, parry, thrust You justify bad behavior Thrust, parry, thrust, parry, trust I'm laughing in your face Thrust, parry, thrust, parry, just Needed some new flavor Thrust, parry, thrust, parry, must Let me know how the truth tastes
7.
Love, Again 03:13
I feel a darkness leaving me, one I felt inside​ A nightmare that won't let me be, It makes me want to hide I'm trying to help others to make amends for my mistakes I hope I have it in me, I hope I have what it takes You see, hope is a theme, you hear it all throughout my story It's a staple of humanity, it came long before me I thought it was a tool for the weak and the lazy But hope, it breeds life. Hope is what brings me To love, I'm ready to love again To love, I'm ready to love again And everyday I hear those demons and their screaming, haunting voices Some are mine and some are other's, but I know what the choice is And everyday I hear the world end for so many other people But I open up the door and I'm reminded by a symbol Of hope, of life, of love, of future, and I know it won't be easy I know it's not that simple But I see the smiling faces of so many who love Then I tell myself I'm strong enough even though I know I can't see The love, I'm ready to love again The love, I'm ready to love again I rise and I fall and I can see what this live brings And I everyday I see the sunrise, and I listen as the birds sing I'll make friends with my demons, and this void inside will fill in Second chances are rare, but second chances are everything
8.
Rose 04:18
In the garden there's a rose, even through the night it grows With thorns that cut so deep, but it's roots run into me Many men have tried to pick that rose They've tried to change the way it grows They never loved its true style, it was perfect all the while And she rose up to me. My little rose, haunts my dreams And she rose to be the one that I need My little rose, you are perfect to me Deep in the fog when we first kissed I tried to hold onto it but I missed Just like a ghost that haunts my heart I know I've found my new start Thorns of beauty do no harm, pure perfection in my arms A rose to mark my final days, a haunting tale to mark my grave
9.
For Me 04:47
If you couldn't win would you try? Or would you walk away just to say goodbye? The trouble is that I've seen this place inside A pit of darkness, one that's void of light And I, don't know how to walk away, don't know what I want to say And I, get lonelier everyday. But I'm trying anyway for me ​If you couldn't breathe would you die? Or would you turn to me to save your life? The beauty is that I'm feeling dead inside I need a miracle to pull me out of this And I, don't know how to walk away, don't know what I want to say And I, get lonelier everyday. But I'm trying anyway for me
