Suspect
04:44
|
|||
You have lied to me
You have drugged me
You have bribed me
You have killed m
I’ve been bruised (by you)
I’ve been let down
I’ve been used by you
I’ve been dragged around
I’ve been looking for you
I’m wondering
If you know that life is cruel
You were a suspect
I was your victim
You were a vampire
I was your prey
I was a suspect
You were my victim
I was a vampire
You were my prey
(pre-chorus)
I’ve believed you
I’ve trusted you
I’ve given to you
I’ve died
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
(chorus)
I’ve been looking for you
I’m wondering
I am in, noticing you
I’ve been victimized

Blood on the Mirror
03:22
|
|||
When the night is falling
And you’re lying wide awake
Searching for memories
Do you finally feel
I’m piercing your skin
But I can’t make you bleed
Your heart is steel
Invented machinery
Tell me how it feels
Now you’re real
Tell me how you like
To feel
Bleed
And let me know you
Feel
Me become you
When the dream is gone
And you’re lying wide awake
Searching for light
Tell me if you find
A way out
(chorus)

Save Me
03:58
|
|||
Come to me now
And stay with me now
I need you to help me stand
I need you to hold my hand
I need some luck right now
I’ve been traveling through a moonless sky
I need you to shine a light
I’m lost in the black of night
I need a savior now
I’m trembling like a little child
Come on and hold me now
Come on and help me out
(verse 1)
I need your shelter now
I’ve been drowning in a storm
And I need you to pull me out
I’ve drifted a million miles
(chorus)
And if you could feel
How my muscles shake
When I’m caught behind the glass
Between me and the world outside
Then you would see
My flesh has turned to bones
My house to stones
I can’t fight this fight
Alone
I’m surrendering all I have right now
I need you more than ever now
My time is running out
My soul
It’s breaking down
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
And save me now
(repeat)
(repeat)

This is a troubled time
In a broken space
Broken tears
From a broken face
Precious hymns
Won’t save anyone
Even when I’m dying
I’ll be singing you my love song
In my transparent chest
You were a guest
I kept you warm
I kept you safe
From bears and wolves
That are chasing me now
Through memories
Through vacancies (It’s a vacancy)
And this is the sound of my heart breaking
And this is the song that I’m crying
It’s a quiet time
In this broken state
My broken hands
And broken faith
Fragile lies
Won’t save anyone
Even when I’m dying
I’ll be singing you my love song
In your hidden chest
You have a place
That kept me warm
That kept me safe
From bears and wolves
But I can’t stay there now
It’s a memory
It’s a vacancy
And this is the sound of my heart breaking
And I love to see you in pain
If you are aching
For me to love you
Again

The House Inside
04:44
|
|||
Inside this house
Is where I live
My own master
My own slave
Inside this skin
Is where I live
Waiting for years
For someone to look in
People will follow you
Around your neighborhood
People will ask you about your clothes
People will run to you to hear the good news
They will take pictures of you
These white walls
They keep me safe
But why
No one really cares
I’m a vagabond
In my own house
I’m a stranger
No one understands
Because no one
Wants to visit
The house inside
Inside this pain
Is where I dream
Of what it means
To be free
People will ask you
About your mood
But only if you change it
When they’re in the room
These precious things
I lay out for you
You don’t look
Because you have them too
(chorus)
Because no one
Wants to visit (me)
The house inside

Fall for Me
06:10
|
|||
Come land at my feet
And I’ll pull the cables in
Place you into my hand
And stop your suffering
I’ve got too much to tell you
I need you to listen
I’ve been waiting for you
All that’s left to you is to
Fall for me
Fall and fall hard for me
I’m begging you please
Just fall for me
(repeat)
You can give so much to me
And I’ll give you everything
Anything that you want
And not just what you need
(chorus)
(repeat)
Come
To me
Sing
This song
Stay
Here
And breathe
Love
(verse 1)
(chorus)
Please
Please
Please
Please

Running in Place
04:09
|

Wait
It’s impossible not to hate
Life
For the rules that we live by
Thirty years
I’ve been waiting
To go home
I run and I run and I run
But I can’t get away
There’s no escape
(repeat)
Let me in
Come on and let me in
Let me in
Come on and let me begin
Wait
It’s impossible not to hate
Life
For the rules that we live by
These dirty nails
Are tired
Of digging out
(chorus)
(repeat)
(bridge)

The Deepest Caress
03:59
|
|||
In the deepest caress
Where the loneliness fades
I touch your dress
We both exhale
And we leave our lives
And float to the warmest light
The most luscious dark
Becoming a statue of lovers
Forever together, and never apart
In the deepest caress
Where the hunger is fed
I touch your dress
We both exhale
And we leave our lives
And float to the highest sky
And into the deepest sea
To lose all anxiety
Away from time

What & Why
04:24
|
|||
Entered the world today
Sorting uncharted waters and waterways
Do you believe in what the prophets say
What do you think about God’s odd ways
I touched the sky
But you were playing
Escaping the world and your own feelings
Do you have a certain vision
Escaping the world from your television
But to you I’ll say
That I’ll come through
Because when you’ve bled
I’ve bled with you
And I ride this street like a dog tonight
I’m a soldier who’s been asked to fight
But sometimes I don’t know
For what and why
