Lyrics :
1.The Heart Will Bleed
C1
There is no going back
And the heart will bleed
Time will help solve most of this
But some things just can’t be fixed
V1
Webs we weave have caught up with us
Taking their toll no time to adjust
Drowning in the dry before your eyes
Searching for gods I’m Yet to find
This suffering is currency, the truth concealed, nothing is what it seems
C2
There is no going back
And the heart will bleed
Time will help solve most of this
But some things just can’t be fixed
For the cause you fought and bled
This place wants us all dead
Push water up a hill
Don’t let a drop spill
C3
There is no going back
And the heart will bleed
Time will help solve most of this
But some things just can’t be fixed
Don’t you, reason
It is, written
In, stone
And the heart will bleed
Time will help solve most of this
But some things just can’t be fixed
2.Never knew You Existed
V1
The first time I saw you face
i couldn’t help but double take
Become part of my shadow
My pulse has lose control
Marrow in my bones
I swore we’ve met before
In a past life or more
Can’t imagine the hole
The rhythm of my soul
Without you always here
B1
It seems within reach
Give all you can for it
C1
When the one you love
Never wanted you back
What hurts the most
They never knew you existed
So i put down some roots
Make myself a home
Give it my best shot , believing the line
Anything is possible
Have my own seat at the bar
That i sit in every day
Coming here all these years, then realise
No one knows my name
B2
It seems within reach
Give all you can for it
C2
When the one you love
Never wanted you back
What hurts the most
They never knew you existed
M8
Not right
Was I ever really here
My time
Is spent and I’ve got nothing left
C3
When the one love
Never wanted you back
What hurts the most is
They never, even knew my name
3.For right, or wrong, for better, or worse
V1
Submit to the river, go with the flow
Sever the ties, that prop you up
Anchored to the shore
Too scared to break free
Or is it because
You were told to believe
This world doesn’t function
Without lots of those
like you and me
why do we let
The system breathe
And take Everything
B1
For right, or wrong, for better, or worse
C1
I haven’t gotten all the answers
Been here for so long
But here I am still crawling
Talking about standing tall
There’s always tomorrows
In a world of failed yesterdays
Got to keep on moving
I gotta find a way
V2
Do you know yourself, or is it just pretend?
Going on a journey, you can’t regret
A house filled with mirrors, sees to your soul
Can’t look away, nowhere to hide anymore
Hold ,yourself, up to the flame
Are you different, or just the same (or just the same as them)
The same as them
B2
For right, or wrong, for better, or worse
C2
I haven’t gotten all the answers
Been here for so long
But here I am still crawling
Talking about standing tall
There’s always tomorrows
In a world of failed yesterdays
Got to keep on moving
Got to find a way
Find a way
Find a way
Find a way
C3
Here I am still crawling,
just pretending,
Got to keep moving to find a way,
No matter some day
4.We Are Just Fooling Ourselves
V1
Made so much sense, from, the outside
Started to burn the closer i got
Until the whole damn thing was just pretend,
came apart, sand through my hands
Disintegrated with out a trace
Go against the ones who loved you
Averse to the ones who stood by you
Tell them all what , they need , To hear
C
Is even bit of this true
Or have they been lying to you
V2
Do anything, to be right,
Cut my nose off to spite, my own face.
least likely to love,
Struggling to relate to myself,
So why should anyone else, care
C
Is even one bit of this true
Or have they been lying to you
So it became your point of view
What else were you supposed to do
I FIGURED IT OUT, I HEAR IN STEREO
IM SEEING CLEAR NOW, WE’RE JUST FOOLING OURSELVES
Is even one bit of this true
Or have they just been lying to you
I FIGURED IT OUT, I HEAR IN STEREO
IM SEEING CLEAR NOW, WE’RE JUST FOOLING OURSELVES
What else is left
Made so much sense, from, the outside
Started to burn the closer i got
5.Sum of all our parts
V1
Draw a line, in the sand
And let it define you
No matter what, don’t back down
Deny what’s in front of you
B1
When all is lost, what you have left, but what you have done
You never know, who wins the war, between the head and the heart
C1
We are just a sum of all our parts
Your actions speak much louder than your words
V2
Fool me once, shame on you,
a passenger must learn fast
No matter what, don’t look back
Doesn’t lead you , anywhere
B2
When all is lost, what you have left, but what you have done
C2
We are just a sum of all our parts
No matter the intention in your heart
We are just a sum of all our parts
Your actions speak much louder than your words, ever could
M8
We, are just, the sum, of what we have done
You, can paint it as you want, but that’s just not what was, the sum of all our parts
6.Built to break
V1
By design,
it came undone
Never meant to last
Get another one
Like almost everything
Throw away these days
Too easy to replace
Just unremarkable
C1
Built to break
Never, meant to last
Put together, knowing
It will fall apart
It’s hard to sustain / can’t be sustained
When it’s set to fail / created to fail / faultline in the DNA
V2
Are you in full flow
Top of the tree
Trapped in a bubble
Illusions of a king
Is it temporary
Or does everything you touch
No matter what is done
Eventually turn to dust
C2
Built to break
Never, meant to last
Come together knowing it
Outro
Built to break, never meant to last x3
7.Haunted By Myself
V1
There is a space
I should fit
Measured the angles
All sides considered
Is it me
Or is it them
Losing arguments
With myself
Crawling in my own skin
Upset by my heartbeat
By the wheez when I breathe
And the chewing noise
Of my teeth
Like finger nails, scratched until i bleed
B2
Sick, of it, need a, break,
a new, perspective, I’ll take anything
C1
FIGHT TO BE ANYONE ELSE
Lost and tired being myself
Failed in this narrative
haunted by myself
PCHORUS
Like a jigsaw
With a missing piece
Got so close
But never be
complete
V2
Happiness
So far off
Seems to come
easily to some
They all say
Be yourself
Everyone else is taken
Can’t stand my reflection
I find a little more hate
For myself every day
Can’t live with myself
B2
Sick, of it, need a, break, a new, perspective, I’ll take anything
Sick, of it, need a, break
The mirrors that still bare my face
C2
FIGHT TO BE ANYONE ELSE
Lost and tired being myself
Failed in this narrative
haunted by myself
Can’t let it go
Breakdown
FIGHT TO BE ANYONE ELSE
Lost and tired being myself
Failed in this narrative
haunted by myself
Outro
FIGHT TO BE ANYONE ELSE
Out of time with MYSELF
Don’t care about the consequence
Pray I’ll wake as someone else
8.choreography and chaos
V1
Tidal wave crash down but solves this puzzle,
Bomb blows up with love instead of destruction,
Crave the pleasantness,
But it bores you half to death,
triumphant self combustion,
As an answer,
Barely able to contain,
The heat from the flames
C1
Stuck in a dance
Choreography and chaos
Cling to life with both hands
On the edge, praying to transcend
V2
The Fire burnt the house that stands
Forgive it’s fury, it’s selfishness
But those walls kept the light away
Now you have room to grow again
I need constant tests, on my toes
For a mind that cannot rest, just slows and slows
Then explodes
C2
Stuck in a dance
Choreography and chaos
Cling to life with both hands
On the edge, praying to transcend
M8
Between despair and a dance
Impossible
On the edge but in a trance
Not of this world
Mix the
absurd
And planned
And try
your best
To make them blend
And ,push harder than you’ve ever tried
In a world designed to Pause and watch die
C3
Stuck in a dance
Choreography and chaos
Cling to life with both hands
On the edge, praying to transcend
9.can’t be explained
C1
It just can’t be explained
The light leaves you blinded
The sentence completes
just when you need
V1
In this moment, you will question everything
Abandoned by the very streets, that kept you safe
The answers never lived in far off places
It just took some time for you to see the light
C2
It just can’t be explained
The light leaves you blinded
The sentence completes
just when you need
V2
searching, craving, validation
Like being fed to the lions
Running further from all embraces
That taught you everything you know about life
C3
It just can’t be explained
The light leaves you blinded
The sentence completes
just when you need
10.Digging your own grave
V1
You’ve been spending all your time
Building walls to keep youself safe
The more money the more you can have
Thicker layers to keep people out
B1
towering, no light can be found
Too thin, nearly falling down
C1
You can dress it up, just how you like, new facade, insist this is the one
Can’t deny, the void inside, nothing’s changed, you lost what made this good
Frantically searching for the old ways
or maybe you’re just, digging your own grave
V2
Starved of physical contact
It feels fast forward down the wrong path
Each shovel full more desperate
Scavenging around to find an answer
B1
Alarming, always reaching high
Tragic amounts, fall by the way side
C2
You can dress it up, just how you like, new facade, insist this is the one
Can’t deny, the void inside, nothing’s changed, you lost what made this good
Frantically searching for the old ways
or maybe you’re just, digging your own grave
11.Waiting in the wings
V1
Colouring between
Sense I’ve ever seen
The lines simply evade you
Never there for all that you knew
Paint by numbers
Making this much worse
Broad strokes closed eyes
Who knew you were Colourblind
B1
And the promise that I made still stands
I never told a lie
C1
No doubt about it
Things are going to change
I’ve spent too long
Waiting in the wings
V2
Biding my time
Reclaim what is mine
Waiting for the right moment
Perfectly time each component
Leave it all behind
weight dragging the line
Atone for all your sins,
A game you can ever win
B2
And the dream I dreamt still stands out vividly in my mind
C2
No doubt about it
Things are going to change
I’ve spent too long
Waiting in the wings
For all the times you doubted yourself
Too many times you hid away
So many things sacrificed
It’s time to see this to the end
Before it’s too late
Re-grets are the en-emy
12.Random faces
V1
Free fall
Make the same mistakes
Forgive me
For dragging you in
B1
I’m not saying I’m not happy
Never made the time to be
C1
You can’t keep filling empty spaces
With all these random faces
Seeking answers from someone else
Cause you never loved, never loved yourself
V2
Moved on
A one sided game
Can’t win
Or go through this again
B2
I’m not saying your unhappy
Have you made the time to be?
C2
You can’t keep filling empty spaces
With all these random faces
Seeking answers from someone else
Cause you never loved, never loved yourself
M8
You can’t keep filling these spaces
With random blow ins
There’s a bottomless hole
That can’t be filled
You just need to love yourself
C3
You can’t keep filling empty spaces
With all these random faces
Seeking answers from someone else
Cause you never loved, or made peace with yourself
13.Before The Dark Takes All Of Us
V1
Something you’ve always known
Spent your life trying to fight
Won’t be put in a box
there is no way to hide
But you can’t force the seasons
Or hide from your shadow
Searching for the reasons
How it’s always you who is left in the end
C1
I just need something
More than this nothing
That proves there is more
Before the dark takes all of us
V2
Under the influence
Terrified to look back
I know who I am
And that’s what scares me from time to time
C2
I just need something
Stop the numb feeling
That proves there is more
Before the dark takes all of us
We all need something
Convinced we’re failing
Trying to feel more
Before the dark takes all of us
M8
All of us x2
You can’t con-quer this dark-ness
But it can be tamed
Outro
Just a glimmer of hope
The slightest of light
Keep spirits raised
In dark of night
It’s a black hole
That lives inside
Slowly taking
All of our time
14.THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY
V1
I’ve never known where this path leads
but I run at full pace
Only got one gear, singular thought process,
solitary way
Going to flog this horse until it works,
or breaks
B2
It seems the dusk has set in
On our fairytale end
No point reminiscing
Or wondering what could have been
C1
There’s no, such thing , as bad weather
You just never pack the right things
centre of the storm (centre of every storm)
There has to be another way
V2
Endless New Years resolutions
left unfulfilled
Intentions must count for something
Is what your tell yourself
Strike the stone with so much force
it breaks
B2
It seems the dusk has set in
On our fairytale end
No point reminiscing
Or wondering what could have been
C2
There’s no such thing, as bad weather
You just never packed the right things
centre of the storm Always
There has to another way
R
WHEN THE SMALLEST THINGS
CAUSE YOU SO MUCH PAIN
WATCHING YOU BLEED
FOR NO REASON
WHEN THE SMALLEST THINGS
CAUSE YOU SO MUCH PAIN
THIS SHOULDNT BE
SO HARD
