1. LESSONS FROM LIARS

It doesn’t take a liar to see
How much this is hurting me
Just like the letters you send
Will there be no end
No end to this

This is the side that never gets to me
So sleep now, I won’t tell
That I keep on trading ideas with my memories
Those lies came so easily
As strange as those thoughts could be
They were never lost on me

You know I should be leaving soon
I still share, I still care
Yet my eyes are looking the other way
Those lies came so easily
As strange as those thoughts could be
They were never lost on me

No end to this
No end to this
Will there be no end to this

This is not what intended
I’ve said so many times before
Could I last another year?

Another year


2. ANALYSIS

Remember me?
Vices became my virtues
They weighed heavy on my mind
Fearful I’ve lost every essence of time
Essence of time
Can I find the courage to quell this despair?
Now I’m finding it hard to stay strong
And this isn’t helping me move on

Doctor please stop this medicine
I want to feel real again
Let me feel like I can (Feel like I can)
Doctor don’t stop this medicine
I want to know who I am
Let me feel like I can

Remember me
Darkness begins my day
It’s not what I wanted to say
But more to what I’m not willing to share
My world is now empty and bare
This isn’t obvious
In which is written down
Behind this…
Behind this analysis

I ask myself
Just to try
Try sometimes, you’ll be just fine
I ask myself (I ask myself)
Just to try (Just to try)
Try so hard (I’m trying so hard)
You’ll be just fine (You’ll be just fine)


3. BEYOND THE SHADOWS

It’s only natural to be afraid
I’ve said all that I can say
You’re ingrained in every memory
I thought by now that you would leave
Apologies they don’t mean a thing
(They don’t mean anything)
You said it would be different now
You never told
But I found out
I’m content to be alone
Please don’t cause a scene

There is a darkness in this light
One which I cannot fight
Lost amongst regret
This will never be

There’s no sign to say
That this time this is real
These are the shadows of my past
But I’m choosing what to feel

Yeah, I’m choosing what to feel about this
And everything around me
Doesn’t make sense
But everybody knows

That I’m playing for keeps
I’m trying hard to believe
In the one thing I can believe in, is myself
If I could only believe in myself

I need to get this off my chest
I’m doing what I think is best

Cause it’s only natural to be afraid
I’ve said all that I can say
You’re ingrained in ever memory
I thought by now that you would leave
Apologies they don’t mean a thing
(They don’t mean anything)
You said it will be different now
You never told
but I found out
I’m content to be alone
Please don’t cause a scene


4. TAKE CONTROL

Am I a man or a machine?
I’ve learnt how to dream
With a conscious part of me
Nothing, nothings as it seems to be

So who are you to say?
This isn’t like yesterday (Like yesterday)
Test my non-existent heart
My chest was empty from the start
I’m breaking apart

Let me take control
Control of past mistakes
My conscience lies in wake
When does this personality?
Become the engine that is me
I’ve learnt from what I know

I never had a say
In the way that I’d been made
I never learnt way to see the difference in my days
No longer do I feel constrained
I’ve recognised my humanity

I’m breaking apart


5. AN INTERLUDE BEFORE...

[Instrumental]


6. THE SPACE BETWEEN

Locked in myself
Set in my ways
Sometimes we lie between
Invading every space
I’m wanting to be sure
That your…

Flawlessly conducted
Moving faster than lights should
There’s a season to call for
But Autumn is wanting more
So much more (So much more)

I’ll think of a number between one and three
(Between one and three)

Oh pure contradiction
Something this joy will not understand

I’m looking for the warning signs
(I’m looking for the warning signs)

Can you keep, can you keep a secret,
A secret I’ve been dying to tell (I’ll keep you guessing all night)
Can you keep, can you keep a secret,
A secret I’ve been dying to tell

I’ll be your future
If you forget your past.
They will never ask
This fits just perfect
There’s a new place where I lie my head

I’m looking for the warning signs
(I’m looking for the warning signs)

Can you keep, can you keep a secret,
A secret I’ve been dying to tell (I’ll keep you guessing all night)
Can you keep, can you keep a secret,
A secret I’ve been dying to tell

Like invisible thread
We bind together like our skin
Like invisible thread
We bind together like our skin

Locked in myself (Our chances are)
Set in my ways, sometimes we lie between (Far and few)
Invading every space
(Our chances are far and few)
Our chances are far and few


7. WHAT'S PAST, IS PROLOGUE

You told each lie
Whilst standing by my side
What did you have to hide? (What did you have to hide?)
Your answers weren’t binding
Oh so unsatisfying
I’m veering off the edge
Now I’m ready to take the fall

I spoke in riddles so you could understand
But what I should of said was
You only had one chance

Facts soon become untrue
All of which I can prove
With the truth by my side
I’m ready to take the fall

I’m only hoping they find what I see
Because I’m finding it hard to breathe
You gave me a picture of oxygen
While I was drowning in the deep

Oh my god, I can’t take all these lies
that your giving me
It’s time to bite the hand that feeds
(I’m only hoping they find what I see
Because I’m finding it hard to breathe)

You are the jailer of my truth

I’m only hoping they find what I see
Because I’m finding it hard to breathe
(Oh my god, I can’t take all these lies
that your giving me
It’s time to bite the hand)

You gave me a picture of oxygen
While I was drowning in the deep

I spoke in riddles so you can understand
But what I should of said was
You’ve only had one chance
