Wishing on a star is not like me
And they call the shots
I cant be free
Crazed a man yearning for their hand
Love rusted in a can; That’s who I am
So would you love me if I doubted myself?
And would you kiss me?
Or leave me in the sand when I need a hand?
Pleasing what is fought
Caught by what I’ve lost
Trapped in a crimson box
And I’m gone
Why can’t I see what was in front of me?
And you were all that I need
You could’ve stopped the seed
So would you love me if I doubted myself?
And would you kiss me?
Or leave me in the sand when I need a hand?
Why does this matter so much to me?
I’ve got blood on my hands
And my eyes are blurring
It was one last chance to save my soul from the shadows that made my heart go cold
So would you love me if I doubted myself?
And would you kiss me?
Or leave me in the sand when I need a hand?
Waking in the light
And you were by my side
We held hands through the night
With no shadows to fight
But it was all a dream
In my head like a movie scene
I was never one for silver screens
They always toyed with me

Freshly Tainted Eyes
03:58
|

Bleeding roses in my garden
Leaching invaders can’t be pardoned
Friendly gardeners break my support
Down
Quaking moments of frustration
Can’t you see this clear calculation
Withering confidence and thorns
Brings me down
I have been afflicted
By my own self-retribution
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
I wish they could see
They nor I need redemption
Insignificant conversations
Questioners ask my motivations
I have qualms with finding out the truth
I have dreams of cosmic euphoria
I’d pluck my hearts roses for ya
Dances immortalized at the photo
I have been afflicted
By my own self-retribution
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
I wish they could see
They nor I need redemption
I have been afflicted
By my own self-retribution
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
I wish they could see
They nor I need redemption
Cause I just need your affection

Watch Me Go
03:07
|
|||
Now sit and watch me go
Jump down a burning hole
I flow right down the stream
Watch the underside gleam
I lie face down on the ceiling
A stone cold barrier to my ascending
Why do I keep on chasing this feeling
If it’s just my brain that keeps on melting?
(Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na)
A-There’s a feeling in the air
(Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na)
Won’t you take it with me somewhere?
Now sit and watch me go
Time to put on a show
Oh won’t you pardon me
I need some room to breathe
I see your reflection in the water
But my reach seems to always falter
But then I realize I can’t breathe
I need you to pull me free
(Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na)
A-There’s a feeling in the air
(Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na)
Won’t you take it with me somewhere?
Now sit and watch me go
Jump down a burning hole
I flow right down the stream
Watch the underside gleam
I lie face down on the ceiling
A stone cold barrier to my ascending
Why do I keep on chasing this feeling
If it’s just my brain that keeps on melting?
(Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na)
A-There’s a feeling in the air
(Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na)
Won’t you take it with me somewhere?

Evergreen
03:35
|

Evergreen was just you and me
Now all I can see is my breath in the breeze
Silent now
I don’t wanna speak out
And anger you with my poor attitude
I got your scarf from the day at the beach
The cloth still feels cold and never warms me
All I see now is a stranger
Staring at his shattered mirror where it reflects the winter
On my warm summer day
Please go away
So what was my thought process
When I thought things would stay like this?
Summer’s a fantasy
Singing birds in the earliest hour
Brings me back to when I was young
When I didn’t worry about love
All I see now is a stranger
Staring at his shattered mirror where it reflects the winter
On my warm summer day
Please go away
Your circumstances were unforgiving
And I was sat here wishing
The frostbite is so damn grueling
And you’re holding hands without me
All I see now is a stranger
Staring at his shattered mirror where it reflects the winter
All I see now is a reject
Trying to get over it
My hands are shattered into pieces
My head is aching in frustration
And my heart is so damn worn
I’m tired of waiting for miracles
Despite all my consideration
It leaves me here without redemption
I can’t take this anymore
Please go away

Dream Forest
02:20
|

Why?
Must you try to keep me in so many fights?
It don’t feel right
I am on your mind
But the trees fall from the winds
Head inside
Vines on trees become these chains
Can’t fly away; no escape
Dream forest infect my brain
Shadows in my head drive me insane
Please mercy me
I’m down on bended knees
Colder breeze
Itch in my skull
I won’t lull
I’m so scared
Chills down spine
Stop whispering in my ear
You’re not one that I revere
Dream forest infect my brain
Shadows in my head drive me insane
You’re a liar
You’re a liar
You’re a liar
Set me on fire
Set me on fire

The B-Side
03:23
|

It feels like I’m one skip away from reaching you
But I’m running behind you on track number two
My heart’s pounding and I’m feeling scared
I’ve got too many bruises and scratches
I’m tired and I wanna go to bed
But at the end of the day
Everything else is going great
But I still miss the sight of you
I wish I could tell you the truth
Well I guess I’m just another B-side
But not the bonus that you want
Just another inconvenience that’s tried
And failed to get your heart
Now I’m standing here while the rain pours
Soaking me with bad reproof
I feel closer to you than ever before
But my vinyl soul ain’t waterproof
I wish I could write songs for you that were bold
I wish I was a magician so I could tell stories untold
Pray for me cause I’m trying to break outta this shell
It hurts and stings like scratching needles
And it feels like hell
But at the end of the day
Everything else is going great
But I still miss the sight of you
I wish I could tell you the truth
Well I guess I’m just another B-side
But not the bonus that you want
Just another inconvenience that’s tried
And failed to get your heart
Now I’m standing here while the rain pours
Soaking me with bad reproof
I feel closer to you than ever before
But my vinyl soul ain’t waterproof

Space-Time
04:38
|

I wanna try looking into those eyes
And see why
You felt like you failed and nearly died
(Ooh hoo-ooh oo-oo)
(Ooh hoo-ooh)
You said you didn’t wanna be known
Just slide
Away from what’s foreign to your home
I would go back to lift you up and stop demise
I would travel across space-time to see you’re fine
It was so cruel to see you feel so removed
But it’s ok cause now I’m right here for you
And you can see the starlight crawl
And reflect through glistening eyes
If I keep focusing on the time that slipped by
I’ll never look past you as you drag me down to die
I would go back to lift you up and stop demise
I would travel across space-time to see you’re fine
It was so cruel to see you feel so removed
But it’s ok cause now I’m right here for you
And you can see the starlight crawl
And reflect through glistening eyes
I would go back to lift you up and stop demise
I would travel across space-time to see you’re fine
It was so cruel to see you feel so removed
But it’s ok cause now I’m right here for you
And you can see the starlight crawl
And reflect through glistening eyes
(Ah ha-oh, ha-ah
Ah ha-oh)

She
03:58
|

It wasn’t subtle
The affection she gave the world to see
But just one night
Reminds how close is antiquity
And all the while you gave your heart to
Crafting a new you
Silence on the air
Seems that time of progress ends
They never care
Establishment that fights you for so long
And all the while you gave your heart to
Crafting a new you
Cause it’s not fine
How they crossed the line
Still I crumble
The pressure gets me from afar
I’ll hold you high
To me I think you’re a golden star
And all the while you gave your heart to
Crafting a new you
Cause it’s not fine
How they crossed the line
Cause your efforts wont be in vain
Yeah I don’t think you’re insane
You don’t have to change your name
To dark places you originate
It’s ok you can cry
Don’t have to hide
Cause it’s not fine
How they crossed the line

Dunes
03:13
|
|||
My feet drag along the desert sand
As I hope to make it ‘cross this land
But I don’t think I can make this
Find oasis
Oh I can’t complain it’s overdone
I don’t want to ruin the fun
Sediment ruthless
I can’t pull through this
The days drag so long
Leisure never comes
As i try to find the right moment
To call you back soon
Later this afternoon
But I can’t cross the dunes
I’m running circles to a pit
A hole in the ground for my little fits
And I can’t complain about time
So I will push
Even if I crawl
And fund the stream
To take me home
And I will cry
I’m free at last
The days drag so long
Leisure never comes
As i try to find the right moment
To call you back soon
Later this afternoon
But I can’t cross the dunes
The days come and go
And I stand alone
As I try to relive feelings
Of a memory gone
I’ll forget by dawn
It’s all my erring

Sweet Dream

Sweet sweet dream
Please be with me
I know there’s a wall in the way
Makes words so hard to say
Can’t control my feuds
Sweet sweet dream
Have you seen tears gleam
That ring with love unclaimed
Or are they shedded in vain?
Just want you to be mine tonight
Well I don’t wanna be alone
For love to you I show
Yes I don’t wanna be alone
For love to you I show
And then it’s your hand I can hold
Sweet dream of mine
Let me have your time
I don’t want sympathy
Just want your arms around me
Why has this ruined my sanity
Well I don’t wanna be alone
For love to you I show
Yes I don’t wanna be alone
For love to you I show
And then it’s your hand I can hold
Well I don’t wanna be alone
For love to you I show
Yes I don’t wanna be alone
For love to you I show
And then it’s your hand I can hold
Sweet dream of mine
We’ve run far out of time
To grab the missing key
Of love to complete the scene
To put an end to this tale
Where to the sunset we sail
