Verse 1:
Fade in right back from a memory
I never get to stay
To reminisce and find some hidden detail
An excuse to relive that day
When my mattress rested on the floor
It never bothered you
I’m calling to the angels in the sky
Or anyone willing to listen
Chorus:
Is there any reason left to rhyme?
Out of all that hurts so much it’s still your name that cuts so deeply up and down my spine
I can’t break away
Like an addict my tongues palate still stained with the taste you left when you ran away
Verse 2:
365 long days in a year
Not one of them has been spent without your name ringing in my ear
I never learned to see things through
And I’m sorry for my emptiness and how quickly I drained you too
I didn’t set out to cause you pain
I wanted nothing more than what you once had promised me
To ease me in the dead
In the dead of night and help me break away from these lies
I needed you to be my guide
I needed your light to warm how cold I am inside
Chorus:
Is there any reason left to rhyme?
Out of all that hurts so much it’s still your name that cuts so deeply up and down my spine
I can’t break away
Like an addict my tongues palate still stained with the taste you left when you ran away
Bridge:
When you ran away
You ran away
Leaving what we had
And what could be
When You Ran away
You ran away
It couldn’t be my fault I needed you here with me
Here with me
But all you needed was a getaway
you little run away
You’re all the same
Verse 3:
Holding onto all these shattered pieces
Broken glass from the night before
Squeeze the feeling back into my hand
The Bleeding Will Not Stop Lenore
Your sword can’t write
But my pen it sure can slice
I’m calling you out on all your lies
You broke all that once glistened
Chorus:
Is there any reason left to rhyme?
Out of all that hurts so much it’s still your name that cuts so deeply up and down my spine
I can’t break away
Like an addict my tongues palate still stained with the taste you left when you ran away
You ran away
When you ran away
You ran away
I’m an addict my tongues palate still is stained with the taste you left when you ran away

Maelstrom
06:23
|
|||

Verse 1:
Faceless reality
Face this today
We're remembering casualties
Lost on the way
Simple broken hearts
It's best that you just stay away
My summer of sam stemmed from winters decay
Still I asked myself what made you stay?
You wouldn't go away
And I swore on my life I still felt the same
Bridge 1:
I'm covered in sin
Wash it away so we can start again
Chorus 1:
Lost in your Maelstrom
Carried away by the faith in your heart
The wind and the rain
Let it cover me
All of me
Take me away from this empty dream
Bridge 2:
Of what is and should never be
Take me away from this empty dream
- Musical Break -
Verse 2:
Breaking down walls again
You tear them away
Just for me to let you down again
Day after day
It isn't you it isn't me
It's just not the way it's supposed to be
I get buried alive every time I hear you cry
But I lost my soul just way too long ago
And I let you down
Without even saying goodbye
Bridge 3:
This storm has no end
All I want from you is to let me in
Chorus 2:
Lost in your Maelstrom
Carried away by the faith in your heart
The wind and the rain
Let it cover me
All of me
Take me away from this empty dream
Lost in your Maelstrom
Carried away by the guilt in my heart
Your hurt and my shame
Let it cover me
All of me
Take me away from this empty dream
Bridge 4:
Of what is and should never be
I let you down in the end
Just like I said
- Musical Break -
Outro:
Lost in your Malestrom
Carried away
As I'm lost out at sea
I pray for a wave
For one glimpse of you
I would do anything to just get to see
What was and will never be
Take me away from this empty dream

Ghosts in the Night
04:54

Verse 1:
Wipe away the hair now from your eyes
Those tears that you hide shine brighter in the light
Wipe away the sorrow from your life
You know that black dress you wear burns like a fire in the night
Bridge:
In the Night
And We Roam the Night
- Musical Break –
Verse 2:
You’ve been right where you’re still at for way too long
Or fuck you’ve never had a home to call your own
The days seemed turned to years so long ago
Why the hell do all your friends seem more to you like ghosts?
Bridge 2:
More like Ghosts
In the Night
Chorus:
Trying to find a way back to another life
Trying to find that piece of you that got left behind
Those tears you try to hide are still shining bright
Roam the Night
Act like you don’t give a damn it’s all alright
I would never understand or fight your fight
Bridge 3:
Even though I caught your tears that shined so bright
Even though I faced your fears and I held you tight
I am just another ghost that roams the night
- Musical Break -
Chorus:
Roam the night
Try to find a way back to another life
Try to find that piece of you that got left behind
Those tears you try to hide are still shining bright
Roam the night
Act like you don’t give a damn it’s all alright
I would never understand or fight your fight
Bridge 3:
Even though I caught your tears that shined so bright
Even though I faced your fears and I held you tight
I am just another ghost that roams the night
