I know your wondering whats going on inside my head Trust me I'm fine, talk about you instead Trust me it is hard for us to deal with Yet opportunity lies nowhere near this I wish I could say it out loud I've felt nothing over these past few years I love you was always a lie I said yes but I never tried I'm more afraid of being alone, than happy I know you've waited for me to come around God knows, I've lurked too long in the dark crawl spaces I put the pressure under me to change Can't fix who i am when only nature is to blame, well I wish I could say it out loud I'm miserable and hate all these things about myself I love you was always a lie I said yes but I never tried I'm more afraid of being alone, than happy It has been years since I've thought of your kiss And maybe a few other parts I truly do miss I have become quite the husk And it pains me to know you've moved on, too. Well I wish I could say it out loud I've felt nothing over this time remiss I love you was always a lie I said yes but I never tried I'm more afraid of being alone, than happy Oh I wish I could say it out loud that I'd take everything back if only to forgive myself I love you was never a lie I said yes this time I'll try I'm more afraid of being alone and happy

It's hard to look past everything we've known I can't be your liason anymore My confidence has peaked soon it'll all be gone I did this for us so maybe we could have one or two months more You were angry I felt when we were home Was there something you didn't wish was shown could be anything for none of the seeds have grown perhaps it's the dirt or maybe this is all that we've sown It's good love so I was told Fortune favors some why am I whose scold Just in time will I learn how to grow old Will I learn my life was worth this weight in gold If this is how we heal why give it a second thought through the laughs and tears this is all we've bought Couldn't see how scared I was why ever have your doubts The one you see before you was looking for their ticket out Last Year

Time Heals 03:24
And I close the door on anyone wanting to get in if only for the illusion of security because What I think to know is tougher to reconcile with Than previous attempts to change what's wrong with me I mutter to myself I'm not afraid of what lies in wait even though what's wrong is inside. Still I Have to try put on a brave face convincing everyone that I'm as happy as can be My wall of stone keeps out the dark With the passing of time I hope to chisel out a heart My wall of stone keeps out the dark With the passing of time I hope to chisel out a heart Got his face and his eyes somedays you wish you could die For being too close to the family tree Well sometimes you change you're tune Everything just sorta changes hue Now I'm left with an opportunity Not to fix who I am but all myself to forgive the man Who I can most assurably be even though The Road is long nothing matters when the moments gone I hold these tools to set my soul free My wall of stone keeps out the dark With the passing of time I hope to chisel out a heart

Something about your hair And the way that you move The light hits you in ways That make me feel Like I'm doin' alright Like I'm doin' just fine I ain't sinking right now 'Cause your love is my line You make me feel the way that I want to all the time Finally I catch my breath You drew the air from my lungs The light slips further away My heart you steal Still i'm doin' alright I'm doin' just fine I ain't sinking right now your love is my line you make feel the way that I want to All the time Now since you've been gone I feel so alone But another light shines Maybe this ones for real Now I learned how to smile Set my soul free I don't care if you see This brand new me 'Cause i'm doin' alright I'm doin' just fine I ain't sinking right now 'Cause I've made up my mind Taught myself to feel The way that I want to Discovered whats real So I can do what I'm supposed to do When I can

Violence 02:26
If there were a song that could change your mind Is it kind of me to withhold singing verse and rhyme If I knew the tune to change your heart Is it right, should I tear the world apart Oh its violent to change Oh its violent to change Oh its violent to change From the violence This is a letter to a future soul mate A lover and a friend who comes back time and again This is the ode to myself allow the heart to break or be doomed to only ever love The quietness of an empty home sitting upon your self gather golden throne wasting the better part of beautiful days blaming every other for the mistakes we all made Oh its violent to change Oh its violent to change Oh its violent to change From the violence Oh its violent to change Oh its violent to change Oh its violent to change From the violence

Taste 03:45
I could never cry when you cried Die when you died Live what you lived When I can't forgive who I was how I made you bleed And all the ways I hurt everyone around me And this tears me apart, this rips me apart I need this taste upon my lips the sting connects me with everything Oh, I need this taste upon my lips the sting connects me with everything I'm not alone I simply close my eyes to your suffering I cover your mouth when you scream Break you up at the seem This may be a bit obscene but I'd do it again for my dreams But this tears me apart the truth rips me apart I need this taste upon my lips the sting connects me with everything Oh, I need this taste upon my lips the sting connects me with everything If I become whats desired Would I dare look upon the faces I have mired You should have known that it's all been a lie For I have never felt shame for what just is no justice And this tears me apart, the truth rips me apart I need this taste upon my lips the sting connects me with everything Oh, I need this taste upon my lips the sting connects me with everything

Feel the air Feel the breeze Feel the space in between Feel the warm Feel the fire Feel what we inspire Feel the joy Feel the love Feel it circle above Feel the cool Feel the breath Feel what comes next It's Love Innocent Love Innocent Love Feel the heat Hear the beat See what made us meet Feel the bones Feel the should Find what makes it whole Feel the touch See the smile Will you run the mile Feel the one In your arms Feel them cause no harm Its Love innocent Love Innocent Love

I've know love since I hear your laugh And there is no way I'm going back Setting sail on smooth waters you're my boat Though I've been swimming for years you've shown me I can float I know if I capsize you'll be there to pull me ashore Oh, if I capsize you'll be there I am sure. I'm assured Cause you told me I am special, think I can finally see it You told me I'm good and kind, 'till now I hadn't believed it You told me that I'm worth saying it was always a passing thought Most of all you've convince me If I'm worth saving I must have worth in myself Worth in Myself When the sea is misery you are my brightest star It surprises, even me, with how far I've come I can't look back and see the coast Oh there is no turning back, because most of all Most of all You've shown me I am special I think I can finally see it You've shown me I'm good and kind until now I hadn't believed it You've shown me I'm worth saving it was always a passing thought Most of all you convinced me If I'm worth saving I must have worth in myself I've know love since I heard your laugh And there is no way I'm going back

Never Ends 05:30
Hey there beautiful star in the sky I was wondering when you'd come around Would have been easy floating through time Here I stand face to face and I'm wondering why You look at me through rose tinted eyes See something gorgeous that's never seen the light I lay witness to your charm As you hold me in your arm How I wish this moment will never end How I wish this moment never end Hey there beautiful star in the sky I was wondering what's in me you have found Was it clearly labeled what I desperately tried to hide You can see through me and my terrible disguise Am I plainly seen through mirrors and smoke Are my passions easily read my desire awoken I lay witness to your charm As you hold me in your arm How I wish this moment will never end How I wish this moment will never end Hey there beautiful star in the sky I was wondering when you're back around was it clearly labelled what I desperately tried to hid Here I stand I lay witness to your charm As you hold me in your arm How I wish this moment will never end How I wish this moment will never end
