Sound Awake 04:21
Time and time again it slips away and loses us within the hands keep turning but it all feels the same without you i've lost the meaning to my name I've seen too much in my short time and seen through time itself so I wait for time to take me away I can't promise you forever because I'm not here to stay just hold on to these precious moments until time takes me away they say nothing lasts forever it's a god damn shame when I leave this all behind just don't forget my name I'm only young but I'm filled with time a broken life starts with a broken mind there's never a chance to fall asleep once you've awakened yourself for good I've given up on myself I've given up on everything Now I'm feeling these feelings it's just like I'm dreaming still I can't seem to find any sleep it's all the lights at night that always keep me upright all through the sleepless nights I stay sound awake staying to take the time just to make sure you hear everything i've been aching to say This all won't go away until I'm completely erased until then I'll stay sound awake I can't find any sleep so i lay here sound awake I can't promise you forever because I'm not here to stay just hold on to these precious moments until time takes me away they say nothing lasts forever it's a god damn shame when I leave this all behind just don't forget my name

Essence 03:50
Now you will feel my fire Every word you've ever said just built me up to tear you down I guess we'll see what you're made of now I'll shatter your dreams rip you at the seams I'll make you see that I'm better than you will ever be Now you'll feel my fire fuelled by the darkness that you inspire you can run, you can't hide I'll leave you wishing you had been the one who had swallowed their pride you won't forget my fucking name, bitch You think you stand so high above us all but from up here, all the way down there to me, you look pretty mother fucking small you can try and follow in our footsteps but you'll never keep up how does it feel knowing you weren't good enough unlike the rest of us you said I could never do this you said i shouldn't even try now I'm making it happen I'm chasing my dreams all the way to the sky this is all I've ever wanted and all you've done is wonder why well this is more than just getting by this is how I feel alive this is how i feel alive this is what my fire burns for this is more than just making sound criticism is all you live for so build me up I'll fucking tear you down.

Deceptions 03:40
Come with me and we'll turn this make believe into reality just so you can see forget the past hold on to make this last there's not a thing that we can't do let's show the world what we could've been tear off her mask and bring to light what she really is once again it was all for you just as it always is I won't fight for you if you won't fight for me this is what we've built up together now I'm trying every day just to fucking forget her she means nothing to me and I never want to see her fucking face again you make me god damn sick carry on with your deceptions and expect you'll be just fine just say the words this can all be over soon just shut your eyes hold back the tears you cry one last time I'm running out of options girl I'm gonna lose my mind you've got me you've got me you've got me right where you want me to be under your finger, at your command at your disposal just as you planned well this won't play out the way you think it will be today I'm taking a stand just say the words cut all the ties hold back the tears and shut your eyes you could never find the right words to say so listen up to mine and all I've kept away take your broken promises, problems and lies your intentions are clear from a revealed disguise I gave everything to have a heartbreak returned and after all I've done, still you're not concerned you've slipped away from me and still I miss every little thing this was supposed to last forever just you and me I should've never trusted you it's plain to see

In Sight 02:39
Run run away from the world in front of your eyes and leave the bullshit behind run from the monsters in your head and continue in blissfulness instead just get away Run away from the world that break your back and the predetermined goals and ambitions "success" today is measured in means of riches, estate and authority you're all slaves slaves to faith in bills sold freedom as easily as just being told nothing means a single thing in the end things are only as good as you believe they are things are only as good as you believe they are everything i have, everything i love they say will always stay above they bring me happiness today, but will be my pain tomorrow So i've stopped hanging on and realized the truth nothing lasts forever nothing stays the same fuck this all this world is nothing but a fucking shame I've come before my time to be trapped in this disgusting world generations too distracted by the pursuit of substances passing the answers to find, you don't know anything You don't know anything no not a single thing about this life and what it's for you don't know fucking anything run from the monsters in your head and continue in blissfulness instead

Lost At Sea 03:30
I will keep you under an ocean that lives inside the sky to see the endless tides wash a seamless horizon I will keep you under an ocean that lives inside the sky to see the endless tides I need to find some solid ground the more I sail these waters the more I wish they'd pull me down foggy dreams of a lighthouse foggy dreams of a place that I called home lost at sea I'll find my way back to the shores where I should've stayed lost at sea I'll find my way back to the shores where I should've stayed do you know what it's like to forget how stability feels? what it's like to have ground under your feet? don't come to me and act as if you know my story my scars will prove my privation and show you what I've been through to become me who I am is who I will always be a person I can change for all of those who I used to know I wish you could see me now I am who I am who I've become and no one knows me better than myself my lungs are full of water and I can't make a sound if I'm the captain my ship will never pull me down my past makes these rough waters look like glass I won't let this breath be my last the sea keeps pulling me away away from where I should be one day I will make these waters mine so I can't go down with the ship this time I am captain of the ship I sail If these waters make it happen I would have only lived to see myself fail there is nothing left to be said

I'm afraid for the things I love to disappear and change and watch me as I slowly do the same do I keep holding on or do I stop moving forward I would never admit to this all but the way it makes me feel makes a challenge out of every day breath after breath nothing ever feels the same nothing will ever bring them back I'm afraid for all the things I love to disappear and change and watch as I slowly do the same the way I look at things now is changing more and more with every single passing day I would never admit to this but the way I am now makes me fight more than live my life do I keep holding on or do I stop moving forward Where did my mind go? and why was it me that this happened to where did my life go? and what do I have to show for the wasted time spent in this blissfulness I would never admit to this I'm afraid it's already looking like it's too late for me there's not a single minute of my time that I'm not wishing i could get it all back CHORUS Screams: Stop for a second breathe in the night look into my empty life keep holding tight we're running to the end of the line so let's make these moments last I would hate to see another precious life destroyed so as long as you have mine I will have your back forever and we can make each other feel home again Cleans: Stop for a second and breathe in the night we're running to the end of the line look into my empty eyes keep holding tight just make me feel alive tonight and as long as you have mine I'll have your back forever Teach me how to make the most of each moment and to make these feelings last I swear I can't keep living this way held up and brought down so far with an unforgettable past I've been losing my mind to myself since the day that this has all been changed there's just one question that just never leaves my mind do I keep holding on? or do I stop moving forward?
