Yesterday's Life

I know that I could apologise, but trying to see past those eyes
Makes it known, the proof within my soul
will cover up inside the path that leads to me
Don't cover up these accusations against me
A word to the wise, reward all your lies
'Cause the vessels beneath me start pumping
My heart from on top of the world starts jumping
Am I just another one who means nothing to you?
You have always been my closest friend
But this forbidden love we share will have to end
Why is that such a crime? I'll pretend
In the dead of winter five years later he kills again
A victim, suspect, in-between sides,
when the lines blur where do you hide?
How can something so wrong feel so right?
In the palm of my hand comes yesterday's, yesterdays' life
Absorbing my surroundings and trying to stay calm
Hanging on your tongue so I don't miss a single sound
will cover up inside the path that leads to me
But every single time tha you break infront of me
A word to the wise, reward all your lies
'Cause the vessels beneath me start pumping
My heart from on top of the world starts jumping
Am I just another one who means nothing to you?
You have always been my closest friend
But this forbidden love we share will have to end
Why is that such a crime? I'll pretend
In the dead of winter five years later he kills again
A victim, suspect, in-between sides,
when the lines blur where do you hide?
How can something so wrong feel so right?
In the palm of my hand comes yesterday's, yesterdays' life
Yesterday's life
I'm going undercover
In the dead of winter five years later

The Calm After The Storm

According to you I'm the person I can't be
But when I signal to you, you just don't trust me
Why does it matter?
You just take advantage of my own privacy
I've forced to obtain
Let me go, leave me be
Deceive me of the way I think towards my insanity
To get me out of the storm
Don't succeed to fall, you'll be made to crawl
Where's my saviour, to get me
Out of the storm
Get me out of the storm x3
Can we even let go of this I can't break free
We're building all these warships to defend only me
I'm too selfish to understand to apparently
With these shadows behind me lurking around
Do you think I deserve this?
Deceive me of the way I think towards my insanity
To get me out of the storm
Don't succeed to fall, you'll be made to crawl
Where's my saviour, to get me
Out of the storm
Can you search for me, into hiding
I'm watching over you, why you?
Can you search for me, surrounded
By nothing else but you, why you?

Running Out of Road

Watcha staring at, the way my body shakes?
The way that I crash down from the pressure that my mind makes?
But all that I can achieve is a simple life
To make my parents proud of me
Whether a husband or wife can strive
To succeed just like me or with along
My own mentality, that I eventually go crazy
'Cause all I can stare at is the restrictions on my life
Stand up, get your gun, I will be your best son
And the time's ticking by, I can't see
There's a guy in my eye-line
Should I run away or should I stay?
Come on, breakaway and we'll go save the day
Carry on in our ways and I wont try to stop you
Every single time that I try to save you
I'm just pushed away
I can see the way you struggle
I can see your eyes
Why not scream it at my face
and I'll hold you really tight?
Stand up, get your gun, I will be your best son
And the time's ticking by, I can't see
There's a guy in my eye-line
Should I run away or should I stay?
Come on, breakaway and we'll go save the day
Carry on in our ways and I wont try to stop you
And I recount one more time everything
I want to keep you
Don't say a word
Just let me speak this time
Stand up, get your gun, I will be your best son
And the time's ticking by, I can't see
There's a guy in my eye-line
Should I run away or should I stay?
Come on, breakaway and we'll go save the day
Carry on in our ways and I wont try to stop you
I'm running out of patience, running out of road
Switch to automatic serving only you
I must make you happy, I must make you glad
Before you take your last breath among the sand

Stand up straight, keep in line, work only on your design
Of your faces and your features, we're acting just like creatures
Be the best, be the worst, keep a smile on so you burst
With loss you will stay 'til the end of your days
Keep your voice down low
Way to go my dear, I applaud you sincerely
Escape from reality
I cower down 'cause I'm afraid you'll attack me
I'm just a shadow beneath you
But is this even true?
Mind you tongue, never blink, stay part of this abnormality
Of those faces and those features, they're acting just like creatures
Never fall, never crack, they'll beat you either way just take a step back
All I wanted was comfort a sign, I beg of you
I beg of you
Way to go my dear, I applaud you sincerely
Escape from reality
I cower down 'cause I'm afraid you'll attack me
I'm just a shadow beneath you
But is this even true?
Turn the lights out, don't see my bloodshot eyes
Turn the lights out, are we safe and sound now
Turn the lights out, turn the lights out
Way to go my dear, I applaud you sincerely
Escape from reality
I cower down 'cause I'm afraid you'll attack me
I'm just a shadow beneath you
But is this even true?
I am just simply a burden to you

Breaking apart the same story again
and I can't trust my heart, I guess we're better off friends
should I go? I should go.
I never thought that I could live through a lie
but I can see from the tears building up in your eyes
I should go, let me go
But time is a healer
that will mend the broken bones
of a life made cleaner
by being forced to walk it alone
all alone
Now twelve months have gone and I'm still paying the rent
they said that things would get better
I guess I know what they meant
cause today I'm okay
Went out with my friends and we lit up a fire
we had drinks in our hands and I had never felt higher
I know that I am okay
(But are you okay?)
Cause time is a healer
that will mend the broken bones
of a life made cleaner
by being forced to walk it alone
all alone
Days fell away
and the nights felt even longer
I was waiting for the sunrise that never came
Closing these doors
on the memories left behind them
I'm building the ship to cast it all away
all away
Cause time is a healer
that will mend the broken bones
(but are you okay?)
of a life made cleaner
by being forced to walk it alone
all alone

Blissful Ignorance

For the first time, in such a long time, I can’t function, I can't breathe.
You’re never staring, cold and never caring, loosening your grip on me.
You broke me from your strings; you vanished from my dreams, now I’m out in the open, vulnerable.
You listened to their words, I thought that I came first; you’re a blow that’s unrecoverable.
But I'll recover
This is the part, where we fall apart.
But you won’t put me together.
We live and we learn, to take our turn
But it hurts me to remember
forgot who I was, forgot who I am,
Your hostility has the best of me, sweet belligerence,
Blissful Ignorance.
You’re an old friend, the type to transcend, I could find you anywhere
When we lost all contact, I set out to attack; I was left in a pit of despair,
But I followed my instinct, traced your steps and then I’d think, of how I did you wrong,
I became obsessed, with every aspect, of you and I, and us all along.
But I guess that's over now
This is the part, where we fall apart.
But you won’t put me together.
We live and we learn, to take our turn
But it hurts me to remember
forgot who I was, forgot who I am,
Your hostility has the best of me, sweet belligerence,
Blissful Ignorance.
I can see you now.
Do you see me?
I can feel you now.
Do you feel me?
I can hear you now.
Do you hear me, yeah?
Because I’m begging and I’m pleading, cause I need you here with me
Oh lord have mercy!
Yeah!
This is the part, where we fall apart.
But you won’t put me together.
We live and we learn, to take our turn
But it hurts me to remember
forgot who I was, forgot who I am,
Your hostility has the best of me, sweet belligerence,
Blissful Ignorance.

Remember Me
04:30

We are just wolves in the morning,
scavenging on what's left
and at night you hear us howling,
so leave me be in a bed
My eyes glisten in the moonlight
But I swear that I'm just too uptight
Cause the night it hides everything
Bottled up emotions
so I don't sink
I can only go and fight
when you're on my side
Remember me, in only black and white
Remember me, in only black and white
Your only obsession is dot-to-dot-ing the freckles on my face
but you haven't even counted how many are there
Scribble lines over me so I can't breath
a glass of water too far away
too far to reach
But my eyes glisten in the moonlight
But I swear that I'm just too uptight
Cause the night it hides everything
Bottled up emotions
so I don't sink
I can only go and fight when you're on my side
Remember me, in only black and white
Remember me, in only black and white
Remember me, in only black and -
Cause the night it hides everything
Bottled up emotions
so I don't sink
I can only go and fight when you're on my side
Remember me, in only black and white
Remember me, in only black and white
Remember me, in only black and -
