Birds flying, high up in the sky It really makes me wanna try Forgive me, if I am still alive This is the beginning of my time Soul dreams to the grave Hollowed and decayed This bird led astray Was a bird of prey I know a kingdom of my kind They’re slowly falling out of line I know that they want me to burn They’re slowly waiting for their turn Soul dreams to the grave Hollowed and decayed This bird led astray Was a bird of prey

Dreamin of days that I’ve been told Find myself a place that I fell from Tired of living against the grain Longing for a matter that nothing can change In a matter of days it’ll all be gone Dreaming of you is where I belong Don’t get back from what’s been told A matter of fact you can’t go home But just leave it be, for lust is gone And let it lie like love you’ve lost A matter of days it’ll all be gone And dreaming of you is where I belong In a matter of days it’ll all be gone And dreaming of you is where I belong And finding a place is not so hard As long as you’ll gone I’ll heal my heart And breaking my back is not so hard And breaking my back won’t get you far And breaking my heart won’t get you far And breaking my heart is not so hard

Lie safe in bed Pray you wake up dead The wind howls below To make you feel at home These lonely dreams take us far I hope you’re safe where you are These callous days make us strong That’s why you’re here when you’re gone These walls cold and grey To match my apathy I stare into the black Inside you’re looking back These lonely dreams take us far I hope you’re safe where you are These callous days make us strong That’s why you’re here when you’re gone I am with you You are here We’re together Have no fear I eclipse you Time will stall Kiss the moonlight Stars will fall

Callous 03:15
Oh I am not afraid by the callous of your skin And I won’t walk away from the jealous within Oh I am not afraid by the callous of your skin And I won’t walk away from the jealous within Will we ever walk again, on the brink of holding on Can I bathe you as I did, like the chorus of a song And I’ll faithfully regress, to the time that we once had On the shores of nothing more, it’s the best I’ve ever had Oh I am not afraid by the callous of your skin And I won’t walk away from the jealous within Oh I am not afraid by the callous of your skin And I won’t walk away from the jealous within

look out. there's something up there. what do you think it is? oh god, it's coming closer. run for your life! don't look behind you. it just killed that man. please just close your eyes. i'm serious, we are going to die. i'm so scared right now. just call my wife, tell her i love her. if you live, please remember me. help. oh god. help me. i'm sorry, i'm so sorry. no please, don't. god no. no. goodbye.
7.
Breathe 02:28
Breathe life new Breathe both of you Life sleeps upon your eyes And all the dreams that lived before have died And all the days I lived with you were lies And counting all the pleasures hurts sometimes But everything that came from me was blind So lives nothing Breathe into one Die We used to feel so much but now we’re numb And drastically the end of time has come You calm your heart to wait You amputate the vein This childish fear holds tight Run without a fight You kneel to come before Another rusting hole They’re rooting for you now I’m crying my soul out Breathe into me
8.
It’s a long way to go Such a long way to go And I’m feeling so old I’m feeling so old There’s a table set for two But the lonely has grew Through the cracks in the wall The mice have seen it all
9.
Let’s goto the time when everything was beautiful Let’s goto the time when everything was real Let’s goto the time when everything was beautiful Let’s goto the time when everything was real I’ve seen you walk in shoes, walked in by other fools Why would you ever choose, to live this way? I smile and point at you, but I too am that fool I want to feel alive before I die Let’s goto the time when everything was beautiful Let’s goto the time when everything was real Let’s goto the time when everything was beautiful Let’s goto the time when everything was real
10.
Devils Run 02:54
There’s a place for you here on the sun You will burn for all the bad you’ve done Devil’s dance and play upon your head You’ve been judged for all the things you’ve said I would stay away from here Don’t you lay with all the things you fear What cruel games these devils like to play For I know no God would act this way I would stay away from here Don’t you lay with all the things you fear
11.
Try to imagine, the end of eternity Close your eyes, close your eyes and try to imagine Forever Pain, Forever I’m giving away everything I want I’m finding a way to live free You take me down this road And I’m starved for power I’m throwing away, everything I know And I’m starved for anger Try to imagine, the end of eternity Close your eyes, close your eyes and try to imagine Forever Pain, Forever I’m giving away everything I want I’m finding a way to live free You take me down this road And I’m starved for power I’m throwing away, everything I know And I’m starved for anger
12.
Realized 06:02
We kill it just to watch it bleed, and wash away There’s pain still in the memory, this scar won’t fade I’ve loved you since the day we met, and carried on And I’ve been dying ever since the pain has come And love is but a funeral pyre, it burns for one In death we find a door is closed, open one And now I’ve finally realized I must move on And I can’t ever see her face, the strength is gone You showed me who I really was, afraid to see The me I thought I had become was fantasy You tore me down from limb to limb, this callous heart But even til this very day, I want you more I for one, am not looking back If I do, I’ll never… And everything I tell myself will be alright And will she ever realize she saved my life And love is but a funeral pyre, it burns for one In death we find a door is closed, open one
