End transmission. Silence. Words escape me once again. as you sit waiting patient for an answer Is there time, enough to tell? Has common ground said its farewell? Before we’re bound into blissful disaster Her eyes, they tell the story of a broken angel fed too many promises she's got nothing left to give. I'm breaking down, she's halfway there Keeping secrets inside we'll never share. All the words within could not convey, what wouldn't make a difference anyway And when she comes around the world seems a little brighter And when she takes control my shoulders become lighter When explanations fail to make you see what’s true I’m alone, I’m here with you Synaptic signals misfire all the words I want to say And you're just thinking 'afterthought', 'once again, I can't convey And If this rehearsal fell apart, the final act would have no heart There’s an explanation hinged upon the answer Your eyes, they tell the story of a broken angel fed too many promises now she's got nothing left to give. I'm breaking down, she's halfway there Keepin’ secrets inside we'll never share. (with a burning conscious I know I ought to... Hear the words "I Never knew I needed someone that was you" Intoxicated by the things that you do I'm by your side to lend the hand that helps you through Don't leave me hangin' on just like you always do Don't leave me hangin' on cos I just need to know now are you in this, are you with me til the end? Can’t let myself go through this again have we grown apart from lovers to friends Be real with me, is this the end When will she come around When will she come around When will she come around Articulate these afterthoughts When explanations fail to make you see what’s true I am alone I’m here with you

Lessons Lost 02:57
As the virtues of the old and brave Lay side by side in cross lined graves The values and ideals are left behind Please save us now, we’re at the turning point The victory will echo through the hollow Without the words we never say Meaningless and shallow ‘til the day We take our place in history Notions of humanity are grey We bleed out contradiction, laboured through with blind ambition Tailored for the birthright Their collars white Success through exploitation, filtered through with segregation Where is the foresight The lessons quickly sidelined but How could we let go Of images in our minds This ignorance bestowed These seeds of hatred We’ve come to know Old stories told, with the horror they unfold Their dignity, their bronze and hard earned Silverware was sold We can’t go back against the sacrifice The crimson stain on history will Wash away Without the words we never say Meaningless and shallow ‘til the day We take our place in history Notions of humanity are grey We can’t go back, We can’t go back We can’t go back, We can’t go back We can’t go back, We can’t go back We can’t go back, We can’t go back Without the words we never say Meaningless and shallow ‘til the day We take our place in history Notions of humanity are grey

Seeing you this way Leaves me searching for the words to say to let you know it's gonna be alright And It may never seem quite real like a vivid showreel of surreal scenarios that manifest in rumination If only we could step back and rewind to make the best of everything we left behind take it back now, and give it one more shot? cos this is all you’ve got No longer got you on my mind tonight I don't need to numb the ache growing deep inside of me anatomised each moment shared then send them out to sea cos that callous counterfeit kiss was the moment we began to cease to exist Sometimes when you're too lost to see That time’s a healer in good company Now all that’s left behind you’re walking a little taller and there’s something in the atmosphere that tells you what you wanna hear and all those little things that you abused when you were wasted led us down this dead end path and shows you who you’ve gotta be now Seeing you this way Leaves me searching for the words to say to let you know you're gonna be Just fine and it may always seem to feel like the weight of secrets we conceal reveal the isolation and eluded conversations that led us to our liberation

Lifer 02:49
Lifer, Pretend that there’s a world beyond the barrier Outsider, Take the blinkers off your eyes, You’ll never get back to the inside, Try as you might. Redemption’s a lost cause In the aftermath of all my worst mistakes, I’m running out of promises to break. Remember how things used to be? The future was a certainty So burn me out of your memories. Bite my tongue This chemical reaction could never be undone, Caught up in the web we spun, The worst versions of ourselves, the only ones. Search for something to make you whole, heaven knows That the harder you chase it, the further you go Away from the sanctuary of home Over and Out Swallowed by cracks in the ground Alone in a ghost town Never speak out loud You’ll be found out The truth behind your lies will hold you prisoner Deceiver The more you find a place to hide, The more your skeletons come into sight

Downfall 02:59
Flat feet hold fast in constant desperation Hard skin will push against the ground that crumbles underneath Raw hands are cracked and burning from the fires Ignites determination and the hard earned self belief Eventual destruction of the carbon form Hands tied behind our backs Keeping our intentions and aspirations out of Our control Layer strong foundations, live up to the expectations Push against the coming Downfall Bleeding from the inside to the Cell walls As gathered dust accelerates our Final days Battling with tired aching limbs Until we see the day Assurance of decay It’s out of Our control Make your case for lack of progress, pushing back the mental process Running headfirst to the Downfall of the soul Past indiscretions feeding Misplaced underlying faults Until we learn to take control The limits fade away And make way For our enduring stay Push through all the knee deep waste Stand up to all that we can’t face Listen for the sound Ringing in your ears Dragged through sodden ground Frayed edges and these built in weakened structures The holes expose the flaws in us that ground us in defeat Inflicted and self defeatist thoughts of Giving up and casting our tired bodies the the heat We fade, throughout Our intentions, lost forms This road will take, everything from nothing (Everything from nothing) We’ll bend and brake, forget the consequences (Forget the consequences)

Lying Awake inner conversations. Wild assumptions and speculations Twisting the meanings into a fabrications Que sera whatever can we let this be And hold the future up to see Indecision is destroying me Kill this anxiety Medicate me now Sedatives to slow the pulse down Heart beats running out Silence is a deafening sound We’ll drown it out somehow Choke Abandon hope with hands wrapped around my throat Losing my tenuous grip on the world (the world) But if the elements could transform I’ll be a stable platform if you hold on And all the elements inside Are better left behind Medicate me now Sedatives to slow the pulse down Heart beats running out Silence is a deafening sound I’ve had enough so lay me to rest in the ground Put me down You're better off without me now And your regards are few and far between One hand held the match, in the other gasoline The worst mistakes are the ones we can’t forget I don’t wanna be your worst regret (I don’t wanna be your worst regret) I don’t wanna be your worst regret (I don’t wanna be your worst regret)
