Disobey
05:21

Looking through a tinted window distorts the view outside
Trusting in a fallen hero, someone to hide behind
And it's easy to run away to find a safer place
But it soon catches up with you to remind you of the pain
(Chorus)
Disobey your heart
Throw away the promise that you made
This is where it starts
Gather up the worms and take your place
Spit upon the faces of the ones that you've erased from your mind
And burn the bridges in your life
Piss away the hope you had until you finally break
Dwell inside forbidden darkness, fill yourself with hate
Dirty up your point of view and hope that you were right
Shut the blinds to shield your empire from revealing light
Run away, hide away into the dark of night
Shoot the lights, close your eyes and walk into the fire

The Blackbird
03:42
|

|
The Blackbird is singing a song of love
And my heart dreaming, remembering us
In a time when we were halves of each other
I regret to see the end of our song
Our time was but nothing, A year in the life
And I reminisce about the blue that shined from you eyes
All my hope is gone, our love's just another fairytale
That once was a beautiful song
(Chorus)
And all we had
Was a simple melody that sang too soon
Without a band to play along with us
A sky without his moon, we fell apart
With nothing to show
And since it's been over, you're with someone else
And although I know it's for the best, I can't help
But fear that there will never be another chance to see
What could have been

Shine
05:33

The temple doors are closed in a town where nothing moves
The sun falls down a little too soon
The princess drops her crown to break the witch's spell
She spills her blood to satisfy hell
She could've kept her heart behind the temple walls
But in the night, she chose to fall
(Chorus)
But stars still Shine, Shine so deeply in the night
And breaks through the clouds that covered up the light
She burned her bridges down to kill the memories
Erase the world, erase what's real
The crown is overthrown and fire burns inside
A damaged corpse of a beautiful bride
The throne is left to rot and sheep have turned away
The loss of hope from one mistake
(Chorus 2)
But stars still Shine, Shine so deeply night
And breaks through the clouds that covered the light
And we hang on to a vision of the sky
It numbs away the realities of life.

Part of Me
06:10
|

|
It’s time I look into your heart and travel deep inside your wounds
It’s time you tell me all your thoughts so you can finally face the truth
You stepped in blindly through the door to a world that wasn’t yours
And you tried to light a path, but your flame, it went out fast
The wheels keep turning in the mud; it looks as though you’re in too deep
You tried to take another road, because you wanted to believe
But when your faith has trickled down into a pool of lies
You fight to try and stand your ground
But you fell off to the side
(Chorus)
And I’ll take you away from what you thought you knew
And I’ll show you a place where the sky is always blue
Just close your eyes and dream; you’re now a Part of Me
And if you start to cry, remember you’re free
You set up traps to catch yourself to remind you of who you are
And even though you made a vow, you ventured out a bit too far
But who can judge your inner feelings, all the secrets that you hide
Suppress your thoughts to stop the bleeding
And hope your tears will dry
The fire of hope still burns inside, although the light is getting dim
You wear a smile on the outside, but you know you’ll never win
You’re heading down the wrong direction, just praying that you’ll find
The source of joy that you’ve been missing
But you’re living in a lie

Don't Fall Apart
05:53

Fly in the dark
Look and see
What went wrong
Watch the leaves
As they fall to the ground
And the wind carries on
The song of the clouds
Oh it went so wrong
Find your tainted past
Then remove
The hidden trap
Look and see
How it really began
And the blood leaves a stain
Left unwashed by the rain
It still hurts so bad
(Chorus)
Smell the breeze of yesterday
As it slowly fades away
Don't hold on to what has been
Light a fire to burn the sin
As the past turns to red
Clear the thoughts inside your head
Break apart the broken heart
Hang on tight, Don't Fall Apart
Walk among the fields
The light of day
Will soon reveal
What went wrong
In the silence of day
When the wind carried on
The whispers of pain
Oh it went so wrong
Live a dream where thoughts meander through the broken seams
Fly away into the sun and wish for a new day

Start the Fire
05:00

I'm still inside a prison of my mind
Still waiting for the chance to slip outside
The memories that have left a stain in life
They're still with me
I dwell upon the stench of the decayed
I break apart and shoot crack up in my brain
I let the blood slowly drip out of my veins
To kill the memories
And I can't cover up the mistakes, they still find a way to escape
Put a mask upon my face, slowly hide away
(Chorus)
Erase the past because I'm not the same anymore
The hidden memories are far too dark to explore
Clean up the damage and repair the bruises and sores
Close your eyes and lock that door.
I took a sip from the chalice of deceit
I changed my ways, I became a different me
But now I lost all the sense of my beliefs
They melt away
Inside my walls I am shedding my old skin
I ran away from the mindset I've been in
Tried to forget, tried to fight it from within
It still surrounds me
And you can spit upon my name, I'm forever in these chains
Things have never been okay, but I've numbed the pain
(Final chorus)
Something inside me tells me I can't make all this right
My battered spirit shows me I'm still losing the fight
My demons prowl when the sun falls down from the sky
Be prepared the Start the Fire

Cross
04:02
|
|||
|
I was denied the royal name, forced to live outside the circle
Wondering why I’m not the same as the ones who tore me down
And I know it’s who I am, and I know that you don’t care
But I want to live my life the same as everybody else
(Chorus)
Wearing a veil of obscurity
Leaving behind a life of dreams
Bury the memories of the feelings that we shared, it’s all gone,
It’s a Cross I have to bear.
Hearing the whispers through the vines
All the venom that was spoken
Trying to catch up with the times
Without losing who I am
As the hatred closes in, and the sinners sing their song
I’m no longer one of them
All inheritance have been withdrawn
And as the years slowly move on
I’ve established my new kingdom
Taking the throne under the sun
Of a fixed and mended world
And I’ll wait for you to come
As your crown grows dull and grey
And I’ll show you how it feels
To repay all your sins of hate

Tainted-
03:58
|

|
My bird is flying, flying high in the clouds
And I am waiting for the sun to go down
Because in darkness, I can hide all the pain
I'll close my eyes and wait for the cleansing rain
Our sins, they rule our past, blotting out all the stars
No hope for changing, we are sucked in too far
I might as well embrace, this is now who we are
And with no room for faith, we are stuck in the dark
I dream about your face, run my hands through your hair
The warmth of your embrace quickly numbs my despair
But you exist no more, ran away from the shame
The painting falls apart, I am out of the frame
(Chorus)
And it comes to this
One last Tainted kiss
Fall into the nightmare that we share
Filled with loneliness
My bird has flown away, she flies high in the sky
Soaring to her throne, saving me a goodbye
I understand the whys but I want to say no
Never even had a chance, it was written in stone

Sins Confessed
05:28
|
|||
|
And in the chaos,
The sun's still shining through, the blinds have opened wide
Look out the window,
The clouds have moved aside, reach up and touch the sky
And as I daydream,
The world is passing by, I'm falling far behind
But I'm not trying to catch up with the times
No lies to justify
(Chorus 1)
Within the moaning
There's a voice of truth
It speaks to you
It tells you to
Untie the noose
It tears away
The faceless hate
And all that's left
Is just a breath
Of what has been
All Sins Confessed
Without my memories,
I try to start anew the endless search for truth
Despite the aching,
My spirit still survives the damaged sense of pride
Walked off the hurting,
Got over loving you, got over being used
The ice is melting,
It's time to take a dive into the other side
(Chorus 2)
Within the droning
The sun arrives
It's burning bright
Engulfs the night
The wrong takes flight
It drowns deceit
It burns the lies
And all that's left
Is just a breath
Of what has been
All Sins Confessed
(Final Chorus)
Within the droning
The sun arrives
It's burning bright
Engulfs the night
The wrong takes flight
It drowns deceit
It burns the lies
There's a voice of truth
It speaks to you
It tells you to
Untie the noose
It tears away
The faceless hate
And all that's left
Is just a breath
Of what has been
All Sins Confessed

Broken Jar
10:10
|
|||
|
Sometimes I feel as though you'll forget me
Deny the tears that fall from my face
And sometimes I fear as though you'll replace me
Find someone better to erase my mistakes
And you don't really have to tell me twice:
"I'm not the one for you"
But as I lay awake and wait for sunlight
I hope it isn't true
(Chorus)
I want to be set free
And I want the world to see
That you don't know who you are
You've placed your heart inside a Broken Jar
If you want to cover up all our memories
And pretend our life was never real
If you want to save your face and disown me
Deny the love that you say you can't feel
And as you spew your lies with no regrets
I can't help but think
That this is just a cry for someone to help
You're edging towards the brink
I'd never think that you would betray me,
But it's okay, that was my mistake
Now you pretend as though it'd be easy
To conceal all the hearts that you have disgraced
And you don't really have to tell me twice,
You're not the one for me
And as I lay awake and watch the sun rise
I'm glad I'm finally free
(Final chorus)
And I don't need you to stay
This world has burned away
Please help me realize
That there's no chance to put out the fire.
