The Story
04:00
|
|||
Once upon a time, there was a rhyme
It was sublime, I've heard it told
Then the rhyme tried to be bold
Sought out new ways to take hold
But other rhymes stood in the way
And here without a toll to pay
And so they fought unto the death
The sky was bloodshot orange
I see you with your truth, and I hope you see me
Will you let me get away, on my way
The story, the glory
Now the story's grown and built a home
Claimed a land for all to see
And all the rhyme still sounds the same
It is used to hurt and shame
I dug a hole into my tale
And found a lie deep as a whale
And anyone can dive right in
The water's fine if you can swim
I see you with you truth, and I hope you see me
Will you let me get away, on my way
The story, the glory
Will there be a day when all the stories won't hurt us?
Will there be a time when all the stories won't hurt us?

Catacomb
03:10
|
|||
Oh no they done got their hooks in you
Made you believe that the lies are true
Got you so hooked that you're stuck like glue
I'd fix it now if I knew how to
(chorus)
Don't take the sun it warms my skin
Don't take the sky, you know the birds don't swim
And I can't believe it has to be said but
Don't let them take you
I never thought you would find your way
You're actualized but you still cause pain
I wish you would just drive off in your lane
But you're coming for me like a hurricane
(chorus)
Hey hey my brother go get your brain back
Don't mind my body go get your brain back
You're in a cult but it feels like home
Tucked away safe in your catacomb
The light is so bright but it's monochrome
If you make it out would you feel alone
(chorus)

Shedding Skin
03:09
|
|||
Let it out before it eats you alive
Take it home, let it come spend the night
What were you, what did you think you were
Think again, this is you that was her
(chorus) I don't have a bunch of tricks up my sleeve
Just some scars you've gotta see to believe
Doc Frankenstein come reanimate me
Shedding skin is so exhilarating
Tell me off, oh yeah I got it coming
All my stuff, all my dreaming and bumming
I'm alive, hooray for me
As I try to clear all this debris
(chorus)
I am reaching for the furthest thing away
Never knowing that the ground could soon give way
Hands heal, cold steel
(chorus)

How
04:11
|
|||
How do we get along when you know so much
How do we stay strong, well we hit the clutch
Can we switch gears after 10 years
Level up and start again
How do we go on
I wish I could switch on, you deserve the light
I get so withdrawn, but it's worth the fight
This is living and forgiving
And believing what we know
This is why we're strong
(chorus)
I'm not waiting for a lucky break no
I don't want to make a great escape no honey
I just wanna when I wake up face up
See something there don't make me want to close my eyes
I want to write a song make the lost cause found
If you would sing along get it off the ground
I'm just someone in the long run
Hoping that my voice is met
How do I find the song
(chorus)
How do I go on
When everything goes wrong
Try your whole life long
To relegate your mental state just sing along

Happy Birthday
03:14
|
|||
You're never too young to know which way you don't wanna go
You're never too new to know when something's right
Well babe I've got news for you
Just do what you came to do
Don't get in the way of those who came to fight
(chorus)
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Yes my darling you've circled the sun
Happy new year, happy new year
Ring it in with a smile and a cheer
There's somewhere you gotta go
There's something you gotta be
I hope you can make the trip a peaceful one
I hope I can see you there, I hope you can stand the glare
Of each time you revolve around the sun
(chorus)
I have seen you all around this crazy town
I've seen what you have to share
And all the rights and wrongs and all the prose and song
They don't matter it's just what's in there

We hold on so tight all our lives
We gotta hang on or something might fall by the wayside
I don't have time for surprise
Or that digital voice from deep inside keeps chipping at me
Hey Hey look at me, I'm the one you're supposed to be
Hey yeah here I am, stop looking backwards and take my hand
And I know I should take it to heart
It's hard to stop the crack once it starts
(chorus)
You're beautiful when you fall apart
Shattering into a million pieces radiating light everywhere
You're beautiful when you fall apart
No one can help you try to put it back together
You've done all you can that you know
But something still hurts and something won't grow
Sometimes you can't walk away
There's no way that anyone in their own shoes can say
Hey hey look at me, I'm the horse running through your dreams
Hey yeah here I am, dart past the eagle the best you can
And I know I can't make it alone
If I never make it I won't be the only one
(chorus)

Fear and Love
03:49
|
|||
Let's see how deep this love can be, let's see how real this fear gets
Let's see the monster underneath the bed
Let's see how deep this love can be, let's see how real this fear gets
Let's see the monster underneath the bed
Thought I gave you everything you want
You say you can't stand me now
You say I'm not approachable, I bully you around like...
You say that you can't speak your mind
'Cause I keep you underneath my thumb
Well I think you're caught in a dream
The kind of nightmare where you can't extract a scream
(chorus)
I've had enough of being happy
It's time to swing around to fear
I'm gonna take you in the back room
Show you all the monsters I keep in the rear
I never meant to tell your secrets
It's just I've had it up to here
Don't want a permanent vacation
I just want the legs to walk me out of here
Got lost again inside a dream
Where you don't understand the scheme
You're not sure how to play the part
Just open up your mouth and....
We're scared of love but love to fear
We're scared to drive but love to steer
Get stunned by all you have to do
Slum with the many but you want to be the few
(chorus)

The Grudge
02:44
|
|||
So insecure, can't get ahold of your ass anymore
It's like the bottom fell out, and left me living in a civil war
So sad to see illusion shattered by reality
You were like water to me
Now you're a belladonna daquiri
(chorus)
Can you give me one reason I don't know
Forgot about the history years ago
I didn't mean to make you feel so small
I wasn't trying to put you in your place
Wasn't trying to call you a disgrace
Now I'm lucky if I'm graced with your shadow
You want to step on me
So you can rise above your pedigree
Thought you were better than that
Hey look at you you're an aristocrat
But what can we do
There's no more us there's only me and you
Is there any common cause
Hey suck the claws back in your kitty paws
You're so mad at me you're so mad at
You're so mad at me you're so mad at
You're so mad at me you're so mad at
Something like me
You're so mad at me you're so mad at
You're so mad at me you're so mad at
You're so mad at me you're so mad at
Something like me
Phantom fighting
(chorus)

Tonight Tonight
03:19
|
|||
I tried to leave you, I tried to hide
Shut down the stories that kept you inside
I thought I could hurt you, but I was not right
Tell me a story and take it too far
All those absurd things make you who you are
It's not like I could just jump in the car
I can't drive
(chorus) I never stood a chance with you
No matter what cruel things you would do
I'd love another dance with you tonight
I'll leave you my number although it's the same
Pretend my affections will not be in vain
I'm not so flashy some call me plain
Can that be all right
(chorus)
I have no secrets from you anymore
No cards to play and no mystery door
At least I'm consistent that I assure
I have no pride
(chorus)

Sotah
03:20
|

On my way to the city
No one knows my truth
I'm afraid of the city
I loved it in my youth
(chorus)
Take me home, I want to walk through the valleys again
Take me home, to the time before all this began
And I know this is all in your plan, but I'm scared now
Now I'm back where I started when I bore your child
And my hair sweetly parted soon will be shorn and wild
(chorus)
If I say that I'm sorry would it ease your mind
If I claim holy holy oh would you treat me kind
(chorus)
