Stuck around for a boring night Talking trash 'cos it keeps me company Saw you staring and I don't know why Look away Nothing's worth it when it's figured out Magic's gone when you strip the face away Laugh at everything and don't say why It's a shame Oh you ought to be Able to sleep tonight Tired from the fun That you've missed It's alright Wait in line for another thrill Some old friend standing right in front of me Lost the number so it's over anyway, yeah Stayed up late for a second show Think it's time for another holiday Lights are blinking and I'm fixed, for now It's okay Oh you ought to be Able to sleep tonight Tired from the fun That you've missed It's alright

Hold out your hands If you want me to show you the fire If I pretend that I tried It would make you a liar You were mistaken I thought you said this would be bearable Dreams from an underground past Have become so unnatural I don't believe anymore But I'll always look back Finding the words won't be easy Prepare to attack We won't survive in the end Though we seek the impossible Honorable mentions to all of the Blindly unstoppable I tried my hardest to make it Another year, I Wanted to be here but I'm not Remembering why This is the last time that I will say goodbye, I promise you Morning will rise up again It's a matter of point of view

Stayed there for so long, an absentee Past an intolerable degree Minutes coming, going every day Settling for something like decay Their throat is an An open grave Stay down on your knees For the end of days Living proof, I did not want to be But finally, I realized I believed Promises were words, fragile as clouds Threads of tranquility were unwound Looking back, it isn't hard to see Violence executed silently Sons of destruction, it's over now I was lost and you were never found Give light to my eyes Or I'll sleep in death And still as the night We finally rest

In the Sea 03:23
Burn me when I am gone Bury me in the sea Or lay me down to sleep In the soil, so free This was always the end This was always to be And I believe you'd agree More or less guaranteed Spirit, patiently fading The suffering undone There's a star that's Full of shadows Full of stories Of what is to come With an option To erase this Mmmmmm But it's already done Heaven provides the fire When you're too blind to see Or snuffs you out equally Wondering what could be There were too many flaws And inaccuracies And judging from this relief My Lord, I'm taking the plea
8.
It's your right To believe the things you want Were left behind And you would Rather die than face the consequence Of time And you try But you'll never make The perfect bet Up all night Manufacturing regret All your life Swinging from the rafters of Eternal rest Hanging fire Till there isn't anything Left unconfessed Give it time Just as much as you can bear If I make my bed in hell Will you be there? The long haul Was never black and white It's not your call I'm no one's acolyte No, not quite Your ascent Was an accident of Infallible lies But the truth Wasn't ever meant to Prevent your demise When the moon Cracks apart, it's over It is time Spilling blood Like some old Predestined sign

The Light 05:32
Will the light burn forever? Telepathic paths are severed An endorsement-drenched endeavor But I'm getting tired, like before Ain't gonna fight you anymore Special delivery of war, of war Does this ride last forever? Ghosts and moralists, together Sharing perils that would never No longer secretive, my friend Exhilaration craving end Waiting on angels to descend, descend Will the light burn forever?

Woke up in coma town Alive in the dark it would seem Found it the same Or better, is what I believed But it could be hours It could be years until eternity Blind as the end of time At last, now there's nothing to see The devil's surrounding you So run, motherfucker, run Stick to the shadows Until the last deal is done You were the one You were the one who didn't believe And now you're alone again But God knows you'll never be free It ain't like it was before Don't feel like fighting anymore Lost the words a long time ago And I still regret ever letting that show Forget the holidays 'Cos everyone's gone off to war And ghosts of believers Don't hang around here anymore Someday has come And gone again and I'm missing you now But I don't belong here And you never cared anyhow It ain't like it was before Don't want to fight anyone, anymore Got it wrong a long time ago And it wasn't easy to find my way home
