1. (X)

What am I afraid of?
The unknown? Things I can't control?
Am I afraid to say it out loud
When it's easier to just wade in the comfort of a crowd?
How many times can I refresh the same page
Before I realize that I'll just get the same outcome?
Why do I ignore fires burning in the corners of my life
Until the flames are about to engulf me?
I feel like I've dulled myself through distance and distractions
While I keep staring at the same unanswered questions hanging over my head everyday.
When I try to answer them I realize how I thought I'd be set free,
But instead I found I was just illuminating how little I actually knew about myself.
I'm here right now, and so are you...
I might be gone tomorrow, and so may you...
This is Sudden Sky...


2. 20/20

I can feel it, the wires in my life
I can feel it, the moments passing by
Dripping through my conversation every number of desire
I can feel it, the wires in my life

I can feel it, but I can't turn back time
To the moment I opened up my eyes
Every stranger that I meet feels closer than I'd like to think
I can feel it, all the wires in my life

(All the wires in my life)

Try and try to re-write my own design
But now I'm frozen in time, caught in a satellite
Try and try to re-write my own design
But now I'm frozen in time, caught in a satellite

(Caught in a satellite)

My scars have names, cut deep, but all the same
Collapse, replace. Go back and start again

I found myself in the sun no longer bleeding
Connecting so I can feel something with meaning
I found myself in the sun no longer bleeding

I can feel it, the wires in my life
I can feel it, the moments passing by
Dripping through my conversation every number of desire
I can feel it, the wires in my life

Yeah!

I can feel it
I can feel it

Try and try to re-write my own design
But now I'm frozen in time, caught in a satellite
Try and try to re-write my own design
But now I'm frozen in time, caught in a satellite


I can feel it
I can feel it

Try and try to re-write my own design
But now I'm frozen in time, caught in a satellite


3. WHAT I AM

Awake and breathing
We halt and catch fire
Timing's never what the soul desires
I belong somewhere on the outside
Will the signal survive when the circuit breaks?

Telling me something
It's telling me something
It's telling me something now

What am I supposed to do?
You're dragging me away from the promise land
You fucked me up
But I refuse to let you kill what I am

Same old feeling
When we halt and catch fire
Tired of all this reused desire
You belong somewhere
Just not in my mind
I won't burn myself out
Just to keep you warm

It's telling me something
It's telling me something
It's telling me something now
The pressure is rising
I feel it inside me
I need you to hear me now

What am I supposed to do?
You're dragging me away from the promise land
You fucked me up
But I refuse to let you kill what I am

What am I supposed to do?
You're dragging me away from the promise land
You fucked me up
But now I know who I am

What am I supposed to do?
You're dragging me away from the promise land
You fucked me up
But I refuse to let you kill what I am


4. BLURRY (OUT OF PLACE)

Take it all back
A little closer than I needed
I'm so scared that I might be here alone
Take it all back now
To the places I tried leaving
Every map I follow leads to the unknown

I should know
But I'm scared I'm right
Bend and break to see through the lines
Afraid to frame my life
I should know
But I'm scared I'm right
Bend and break to see through the lines
It's easier than saying goodbye

Why do I still feel so lost?
Why do I still seem out of place?
Everyone's out of focus
Everything blurry looks the same
Why do I still feel so lost?
I feel so far away
Why do I still feel so lost?
Everything blurry looks the same
Why do I, why do I, why do I
Why do I, why do I

When I look back
I never seem to see things clearly
I'm dizzy, yeah, I've spun out of control
'Cause when I look back, now
To the lie I keep repeating
I'm so scared that I believe it
(I'm so scared that I believe it)

Why do I still feel so lost?
Why do I still seem out of place?
Everyone's out of focus
Everything blurry looks the same
Why do I still feel so lost?
I feel so far away
Why do I still feel so lost?
Everything blurry looks the same

Everything blurry looks the same

I should know
But I'm scared I'm right
Bend and break to see through the lines
It's easier than saying goodbye

Why do I still feel so lost?
Why do I still seem out of place?
Everyone's out of focus
Everything blurry looks the same
Why do I still feel so lost?
I feel so far away
Why do I still feel so lost?
Everything blurry looks the same
Why do I, why do I, why do I
Why do I, why do I, why do I still feel out of place
Why do I, why do I, why do I
Why do I, why do I, why do I still feel out of place


5. RED PILLS

Into the void
Into the void I had to sink
Everyday was the same, every nightmare, every dream
So I killed the noise
I killed the noise surrounding me
I had to pull the plug to change the ending

To feel safe in the fire
You can't run from it
To feel safe in the fire

Never again now, never again now
I will stand up in the flames when I fall from grace
Never again now, ready to face hell
I will stand up in the flames when I fall from grace
(Never again)

I blurred the lines
I blurred the lines of gravity
I was floating away while the world was passing by
Medicate to fill my soul
It's hard to stop when you're alone, alone
But you have to feed the fever and the pain

To feel safe in the fire
You can't run from it
To feel safe in the fire
(Never again)

Never again now, never again now
I will stand up in the flames when I fall from grace
Never again now, ready to face hell
I will stand up in the flames when I fall from grace
(Never again)
Cause this won't be the end
No this won't be the end

To feel safe in the fire
You can't run from it
To feel safe in the fire
You can't run from it

The ashes burn so we can see our destiny
The smoke will rise above our broken memories
The ashes burn so we can leave our past behind
No longer blind

Never again now, never again now
I will stand up in the flames when I fall from grace
Never again now, ready to face hell
I will stand up in the flames when I fall from grace
(Never again)
Cause this won't be the end
Cause this won't be the end
Cause this won't be the end
No this won't be the end
(Never again)

To feel safe in the fire
You can't run from it
To feel safe in the fire
You can't run from it


6. MZRY

All along I was scared to breathe
So afraid that the world was gonna leave me behind
In the dark I refused to see
That I was barely alive

It's such a bitter pill to swallow
But I learned to call it reality
I didn't wanna wake up
I didn't wanna wake up
I didn't wanna wake up and miss the misery

All along I refused to believe
Paranoid that my fear already left me to die
In the end when I stopped I could see
That I was feeding the lie

Caught in between another time and place
When no one cared to know my name
Feels like it's never enough
When is it ever enough?)
I build it up just to tear it back down again

Fighting fate only to surrender
Only to surrender

I'm the worst at letting go
To the scars I loved the most
Will they bury me, bury me now?
Running from the worst in me
Left me broken, wondering
Will they bury me, bury me now?

It's such a bitter pill to swallow
But I learned to call it reality
I didn't wanna wake up
I didn't wanna wake up
I didn't wanna wake up, wake up, wake up

It's such a bitter pill to swallow
But I learned to call it reality
I didn't wanna wake up
I didn't wanna wake up
I didn't wanna wake up and miss the misery

I hold the key to escaping my reality
I hold the key to creating my identity
I build it up just to tear it back down again

Fighting fate only to surrender
Only to surrender

I'm the worst at letting go
To the scars I loved the most
Will they bury me, bury me now?
Running from the worst in me
Left me broke and wondering
Will they bury me, bury me now?
Will they bury me, bury me now?
They won't bury me, bury me now


7. UNDER THE SKIN

What do you mean? Our guarded hearts are broken
What do you need? A better way to waste your time?
So out of sync, we smile like nothing's broken
We're acting out the feelings that we left behind

I've seen it all before
But I've never had to crawl to fight a war
So I don't wanna wake up with you now
No I don't wanna wake up with you now

What do you see? A safer place to harbor?
What do you need? A host that you can hide behind?
A web of lies, we spin until we're broken
But every time I see you feels like the first time

I've seen it all before
But I've never had to crawl to fight a war
So I don't wanna wake up with you now
No I don't wanna wake up with you now

I keep running away from myself
I keep telling myself that I'll change
I keep running away from myself
I keep telling myself that I'll change

I keep running away from myself
I keep telling myself that I'll change
I keep running away from myself
I keep telling myself that I'll change
I'll change

What do you mean?
Our guarded hearts are broken
What do you mean?
Our guarded hearts are broken


8. SEQU3NCE

You burn down what you don't love
You destroy what you're made of
You defy what you locked out
Terrified of what you'll find out

Reject yourself and obey
Deny your freedom
Suppress your thoughts and decay
Disrupt the SEQU3NCE

It's hard to save yourself
A revelation no one cares to find
It's hard to save yourself
So much easier to kill

So in the whole scheme of life
There has to be the shadow
Because without the shadow
There can't be the substance

Reject yourself and obey
Deny your freedom
Suppress your thoughts and decay
Disrupt the SEQU3NCE
Disrupt the SEQU3NCE
Becoming all that you hide

It's hard to save yourself
A revelation no one cares to find
It's hard to save yourself
So much easier, easier to kill

You censor your reality
You dance for your demons
You cling to your morality
But not for free

Reject yourself and obey
Deny your freedom
Suppress your thoughts and decay
Disrupt the SEQU3NCE
Disrupt the SEQU3NCE


9. MARCH OF THE IGNORANT

You could pray for forty days to save your soul
And you could move a world away and live alone
Lives are redefined one clue to another
Eyes shut open wide if I discover one

You could fly through time and space in your hotel
Or you could live your parents life and lose yourself
Lives are redefined one clue to another
Eyes shut open wide if I discover one

Ignorance is marching by the sides of what we say
When everybody's fighting in their own crusade
Nobody's got time to question God in fear and faith
Everybody's dying while we're fighting our crusade

You could fear what you're too scared to understand
Or you could open up your mind and breathe it in
Lives are redefined one clue to another
Eyes shut open wide if I discover one

Ignorance is marching by the sides of what we say
When everybody's fighting in their own crusade
Nobody's got time to question God in fear and faith
Everybody's dying while we're fighting our crusade


10. SUDDEN SKY

Are we human?
Are we programmed beyond our control?
You wanna find out?
Pay attention, the battery's low

Are you ready?

Are we human?
A copy of skin and bone
You wanna find out?
Then rip your heart out to see if it glows

Are you ready?

We're here for a moment then buried below
Afraid to be human, scared that we'll get too close
So we shut down the airwaves
Yeah we shut down the airwaves

Wipe the code

Erase all the memories and lose your soul
Your soul

We're here for a moment then buried below
Afraid to be human, scared that we'll get too close
So we shut down the airwaves
Yeah we shut down the airwaves

Float away, open wide
Unafraid, with open eyes
Float away, come alive
On our way to Sudden Sky
(Sudden Sky) Sudden Sky
(Sudden Sky)

It's time to expose
What was hidden
Underneath the surface
My existence
Was part of the delusion
Part of the delusion

I'm here for a moment
I'm here for a moment

I'm here for a moment then buried below
I wanna be human, decoding the world I've known
Now I run through the airwaves
Now I run through the airwaves
