Control —

Do I Ever_

Can’t sit around holding up my guard
Let it all go
Let it all go around
Go in and face the inevitable

Can’t figure out how to play my part
Where do I go?
How do I go around
Go in and make it inhabitable

Now let it all in

Cover up the arm that holds the weight
Raging on too long and all will stay
Unsolved

I let it throw me off my feet
I let it put me on my knees
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?

Can’t sit around hiding all my scars
Let them all show
Let them all know about
Go in and embrace the inevitable

Now let it all in

Cover up the arm that holds the weight
Raging on too long and all will stay
Unsolved

Take away all I could be
Take all the best of me away with it
I let it
Take away all I could see
Take all the best of me
away with it

I let it throw me off my feet
I let it put me on my knees
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?
I’ll let it tell me who to be
I’ll let it show me what to see
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?

Fiji_

Whenever the day will break

Another mistake will take hold

Of every inch of an honest state

 

A hell of a case you’d make

If only the tides weren’t so strong

You’re letting it in all your darkest ways

 

Now how does it end?

 

Not all we’re building up is indestructible

But all we’re hoping for we’ll know how to get it though

Not all we’re building up is indestructible

But all we’re hoping for we’ll know how

 

To get in a constant phase

Of digging a heart-shaped grave for ourselves

Waste it all away

Inside of a king-sized cage

Enough of the comforts of home

But none of it all fades the bars away

 

Now how does it end?

 

Not all we’re building up is indestructible

But all we’re hoping for we’ll know how to get it though

Not all we’re building up is indestructible

But all we’re hoping for we’ll know how to get it

 

Hold on unless you want to go it alone

Slicer_

What do you take me for?

I will never be an open door

I’m the threat in your dreams

The trick up your sleeves

I’m the clod in your veins

 

What do you blame me for?

We were never seeing soul to soul

I’m the drag in your feet

The guilt that you plead

I’m the wear in your brakes

 

Then how do we get

 

Stone cold red hot and

And now we’re on like a thunder

Soon all ends go dead

Then how will we get away?

 

What are you aiming for?

I will never be the one to call

When your heart is in need

the coward in me

Will be all that you face

 

Why do you say no more?

Was the heaven that I sold you on

Just a trifling daze?

a glorious cage?

And it all was in vain?

 

Then how do we get

 

Stone cold red hot and

And now we’re on like a thunder

Soon all ends go dead

Then how will we get away?

 

I deleted

All that I am

Seems to be dead

Don’t you waste it

Regret_

To rise

To rule

Two heights I’ve never been

Cause your mouth’s an avalanche

That won’t let me breathe

 

No pride

No growth

No fight I’ll ever win

Decisive evidence

But it won’t set me free

 

Now please don’t

set it in stone

I’ll try to leave again today

 

So please don’t

Set it in stone

I’m just a drop against a wave

 

Regret

 

So in time

But on hold

You’ll learn the evident

If I’d be a better man

Then we’d rest in peace but

 

In spite

Enthralled

So to whatever end

I’ll try to leap again

But don’t grab my feet

 

Now please don’t

set it in stone

I’ll try to leave again today

 

So please don’t

Set in stone

I’m just a drop against a wave

 

Regret

 

Can’t get out

When all I want to lose

Won’t stop now

And everything I choose

Will break down

I never wanted to stay this long with anyone

Can’t get out

When all I want to lose

Won’t stop now

And everything I choose

Will break down

For everything I did I now feel regret

 

Now please don’t set it in stone

So please don’t set it in stone

All Before You_

The longer we wait the better we get

One other good day and I’ll believe it

I want to be safe out here

Unharmed forever

Instead I will bathe in fear

too fooled to get it

 

But I will warn you

That I’ve done this all before you

And I hoped I had it in me

But I just don’t get it

Yet

No

 

Why let it in if I won’t keep it?

Throw in a safe part of the flame and I will feed it

And If I knew how to play sincere I swear I’d do it

But every trace of tears will turn my head again

 

And I will warn you

That I’ve done this all before you

And I hoped I had it in me

But I just don’t get it

Yet

 

But I hope to

Cause I’ve seen this all before you

And I thought I had it in me

But I just don’t get it

Yet

No

 

How did I end up here

All I give is worn out phrases

Cold embraces

Sorry_

Sorry for the road that I won’t take

For the words that I won’t say

For the love that I won’t give

 

Sorry for the heart that I won’t show

For the lengths that I won’t go

For the life that you won’t live

 

Sorry that I opened up my arms

You would never reach in time before they closed again

 

You will forget

And I won’t remember it

When all I ever did was race in circles

You will forget

And all there’s left will be

A faded memory

A dream you woke up from

 

Sorry for the oath that I won’t take

For the vows that I will break

For the role that I won’t play

 

Sorry that I’m raising up my walls

And whenever you reached over

You are thrown back to the start

 

You will forget

And I won’t remember it

When all I ever did was race in circles

You will forget

And all there’s left will be

A faded memory

A dream you woke up from

 

From the colour I would bring

To ending up again

Opening darkness I wanted to hold you back from

Control_

No control

How wonderful

How horrible

You see me guessing

Don’t you know?

 

Thoughts explode

Unconjurable

Unstoppable

You see me lacking

Won’t you grow?

Won’t you

 

Believe

That even now you’ll take hold

That even now you’ll beat it

Don’t you know?

 

Broke in two

How wonderful

How vulnerable

You see me laughing

Don’t you know?

Don’t you

 

Believe

That even now you’ll take hold

That even now you’ll beat it

Don’t you know?

 

Breathe in

And even now you’ll take hold

And lead it on till the end

Don’t you know?

 

And all that is freedom

And all that enslaves

I’ll never believe again

 

And all that is weakness

And all that is fake

Will never deceive again

 

Breathe in

And even now you’ll take hold

And even now you’ll beat it

Don’t you know?

 

Believe

And even now you’ll take hold

And even now you’ll beat it

Don’t you know?

Rely On_

So that I’m beating the odds

And I’m running all the races

Won’t solve

A fear that is causing the harm to overtake

I’d rather be on the end of freedom

I’ll seek it

 

But I’ve got to have you

To rely on

To rely on

Yeah I’ve got to have you

To rely on

To rely on

 

Hold onto a reason to stall but we’ve gone through all the phases

I hoped to open it all but you guard the only gate my enemy

On the edge of leaving all we had for better days

You can’t compete with my demons

 

But I’ve got to have you

To rely on

To rely on

Yeah I’ve got to have you

To rely on

To rely on

 

We will go it on our own

High hopes for the road to come

We will go it on our own

High hopes that we’ll get there

We will go it on our own

High hopes

 

But I’ve got to have you

To rely on

To rely on

Yeah I’ve got to have you

To rely on

To rely on

Bridges_

Yet another unstable weekend

We bought our own praise with easy goals

And we’re off to sell it as the greatest story told

 

Yet another ungraceful evening

Another man’s faith

An easy foe

And we’re off to shiver in the face of the unknown

 

Though we long together for the tables to turn

Though we pray together for the bridges to burn

Still we stay cold

 

Yet another ungrateful weekday

We’re caught in a game where the winner takes all

And we’re off to tell it as the greatest story told

 

Though we long together for the tables to turn

Though we pray together for the bridges to burn

Still we stay cold

 

We got carried away by it

We got carried away from home

We got carried away by it

We got carried away from home

Storms_

I don’t want to be alarmed

I don’t want to know what’s coming

I don’t want to lie here

Waiting for my end

 

If I knew how to fight it

I would never go never go dark

 

I will never be a storm again

But if it’s easier now then I’ll pretend

I’ll never be a storm again

But if it’s easier now then I’ll pretend

 

Don’t want to be alone

But genuine lives won’t appear

On the horizon

Oh what a long wait

If there’s no way to find it

Will I ever calm ever calm down?

 

I will never be a storm again

But if it’s easier now then I’ll pretend

I’ll never be a storm again

But if it’s easier now then I’ll pretend

 

to leave it all

Am I pretending

St. Helena_

And when the heat is gone

And the fire is out

And a breeze of cold

Air is surrounding all

Where the fools at heart

Fall in truth apart

Stay in lies together

 

And when the greed is growing

And we’re finding out

Who to lay it on

Where to fight it out

How our days were strong

When we spoke as one

Now we mime together

 

So now we’ve been around

And we’ve seen it all

Steady breathing in

And we scream it out

Then we’re doing it all over

We hug it out

And we cry together

 

But as the haze cleared up

And our eyes see all

Then we’ll chew it up

Just to spit it out

So you wanted it all

Well you got my bones

For you to hide forever

 

We’re doing it all over

We’re doing it all again

 

And when the heat is gone

Then we’d better hide

In the weekend homes

That we’re burning down

Let the flames all grow

Let us breathe the smoke

Till we die together

 

And then we’ll see it
