Echoes
01:13
|
|||
I've lost my voice
All you hear are echoes of my choice
Now it multiplies
Bouncing off the horizon
Like a lost melody
Oh god
The air is so peaceful
Why can't I stay here
Until I disappear
And the echoes fade away

Haunted Home
03:27
|

Nobody wants to own a haunted home
Or there'd be too many ghosts inside
And they'd be waking us every night
And though the corridors quiet
You cannot deny it
The feelings you're fighting
And now you require the answer to what really goes bump in the dark
We could all wander the halls
And follow a mystery that wasn't meant to be solved
And the chill crawling up your spine
You can't quite pin point why all you know is
Something's not right
I think that we're in (yeah, we're in) for a long night
Time lingers behind me as I get closer to the door
But I hesitate to open it
It's not the fear of the unknown
But rather what is known
I'm hooked on the paranoia
My friends and I are slowly going mad
I hear the insults they shout
As I turn around and no one's there
[now nobody can hear you. inside of my madness, you are lost]

Fade Away
03:47
|

You've seen that specter time and time again
And you know it's name, but that's where the tie ends
Let it come to you
You know it's best to keep it in the dark and soon you will forget
Whatever stories they had to tell
Will slowly become background noise as well
And the thought of that specter disappears in time
There'll come a point where it never crosses your mind
Everything they needed to say
Could never compete with the push and pull of tragedy
No one cared to watch them fade away
Or they just didn't notice
The hole inside the crowd
Instead we focused on filling it somehow
No one cared to watch them fade away
No one cares to watch them fade away
But you tell yourself I wish that they would stay

Acceptance
02:55
|
|||
Was there a moment when it hit you?
A point of reference when you cracked?
A somber problem eating at you
And just a little bit off track
I've been pacing circles wondering how to stop my head
It never stays on it's shoulders anymore
But has acceptance made my path so true?
Was there a time when you were in love with the harpies venom that cakes your veins?
Some kind of comfort that you felt in the arms of everybody else
In a building tragedy
Reliving words that we'll never say
We live to lie another day
But dying to find our own way
Was there a moment when it hit you?
(When you knew you were in love)
A somber problem eating at you?
(As porcelain you had enough)
As unstable as I could be
The somber problem was inside me
The perfect safety net prepared
That gave your shadow such a scare

My Lovely Silhouette
04:05
|

Is this what you wanted?
My lovely silhouette, you've been haunting me
I can't remember the last time we met
Maybe it's been too long
I've seen you stalking me
With your arms outstretched and ready to take what is yours
In hopes it makes a difference
And I hope it does
Is this what you wanted?
My lovely silhouette, you've been haunting me
I can't remember the last time we spoke
So why don't you come out?
[I'm sorry to be so lost]
[It's hard for me to speak]
[My words are incomplete]
[You'll still see a lonely shadow]
[With a beautiful mind]
[Who would have conquered the world in his prime]
[But he never did anything]
In isolation, let's prelude our thoughts
I admit I might have been putting it off
Because you're just like me
All the things I couldn't be
And what they saw in my eyes
I think I failed you

Memory
02:12
|
|||
I still hear those sirens ambiance
Creating the soundtrack to our night
Learn each others eyes as our cigarettes kiss
And break the silence in the worlds twilight
Memory, if I miss you, follow you out to sea, and think of you dearly, will you come back to me?
Reminisce at empty windows
I watch the room go by
The moments play in reverse
I study every one of the pictures burned into my midnight
Fireflies dancing all around in flair, I'll always remember when I feel autumns air

Living With Phantoms
04:05
|
|||
Living with phantoms tied to our backs
Weighing down a conscious effort to connect
And you'll say to yourself
"I have to be this way"
Either way it gives you an excuse to leave it open ended
Shut your eyes and bite your tongue, my dear
And keep me as you remember
When the wind pushes the silence away
They will always be there, waiting
Watch the sky carefully
And be weary when the clouds crash down beside you
It's a subtle as the voice you hear calling out
Underneath your skin
Begging to be put out of misery

Downpour
03:17
|
|||
I watch the waves slowly move towards the coast
the air pushes that doleful smell my way
But it's crazy how comforting it is
Sometimes I wish the water would wash me away
Now alone I try to create an ideal memory of a simpler place
When my eyes open in dissipates
Do you remember watching the storms hit the ocean?
The water kept it's composure
I think it's what kept us sane
But now dear brother I still think of you
When life catches up, how did you finally find peace?
Because my minds a masochist I can't persuade
And all the streets we know have been torn up, replaced with dead end signs
I guess it's true that nothing stays the same
[But that mind was always the darkness to my light]
[It's needs were hard to fight]
[You always knew what was right]
But the downpour has washed away the meaning from our words
Maybe it's what I deserve
But I don't want to know what happens when it clears
