1. SYMPATHY

Take a step inside my mind.
As my eyes are open wide.
In my sleep I turn and toss.
To rebuild the heart I lost.

You can tell me what you want.
Fooled me once and love was lost.
Paper thin your words they haunt my dreams
The seams have come undone.

Don't you dare say I'm gonna make it.
Cause I don't believe a word you say.

Don't you dare say I'm gonna make it.
Cause I don't believe a word you say.
There's a sickness living inside me.
You can spare me all your sympathy.

Take a second of your time.
Realize you're wasting mine.
In the night I lie awake.
Why rebuild a heart that breaks.

You can tell me what you want.
Fooled me once and love was lost.
Paper thin your words they haunt my dreams
The seams have come undone.

Don't you dare say I'm gonna make it.
Cause I don't believe a word you say.
There's a sickness living inside me.
You can spare me all your sympathy.

So spare me all your sympathy.

I'm sitting, waiting on the sun to rise.
I know it never will, it comes as no surprise.
So won't you stare into my hollow eyes.
They look so hungry now, it comes as no surprise.

Don't you dare say I'm gonna make it.
Cause I don't believe a word you say.
There's a sickness living inside me.
You can spare me all your sympathy.
You can spare me all your sympathy.


2. CROOKED SMILE

You've had your thumb on me too long.
I'm so confused on right from wrong.
You cripple every thought of mine.
The damage leaves me in denial.

Slowly finding the light that you've stolen.
Finally looking to purge all the poison.
Leaving while I can stand.
When you watch me dig out from under your skin.

Don't wait up,
Don't waste your time, you know I'm never coming home.
Feed me lies,
A crooked smile is all I feel I've ever known.

Simple minded soul of mine,
Waited too long to leave you behind.
Always felt you in my way,
A weightless chain beneath my feet.

Slowly finding the light that you've stolen.
Finally looking to purge all the poison.
Leaving while I can stand.
When you watch me dig out from under your skin.

Don't wait up,
Don't waste your time, you know I'm never coming home.
Feed me lies,
A crooked smile is all I feel I've ever known.

You lost yourself so long ago.
Waited too long for darkness to take hold.
You hate yourself, I hate you more.
All the anger, I can't seem to let it go.

Won't let you feed me lies.
Won't let you feed me lies.

So watch me dig,
So watch me dig away from this.

Don't wait up,
Don't waste your time, you know I'm never coming home.
Feed me lies,
A crooked smile is all I feel I've ever known.
Don't wait up,
Don't waste your time, you know I'm never coming home.
Feed me lies,
A crooked smile is all I feel I've ever known.

Won't let you feed me lies.
Won't let you feed me lies.


3. WHAT I WISH I COULD FORGET

Take every memory ingrained in me.
Erase it from my thoughts so I can sleep.

I know I need to move on, but it's the last thing that I'm ready to do.
These subtle signs cause angry tides that rip me right in two.
I tell myself that this all will pass.
But it just won't stop and it all adds up, so I'm sure that this will last.

Take every memory ingrained in me.
Erase it from my thoughts so I can sleep.
I'd give anything to feel no pain.
Name your price and take the past away.
Take every memory ingrained in me, in me.

They say I haven't been myself.
But I've lost so much that I love, so that can't help.
I'm sick of trying to tell myself that this all will pass.
But it just won't stop and it all adds up, I'm sure that this will last.

Take every memory ingrained in me.
Erase it from my thoughts so I can sleep.
I'd give anything to feel no pain.
Name your price and take the past away.
Take every memory ingrained in me, in me.

They say I haven't been myself.

This constant sadness is a mix of the things I miss.
Combined with all the hate of things that I can't forget.

Take every memory ingrained in me.
Erase it from my thoughts so I can sleep.

Take every memory ingrained in me.
Erase it from my thoughts so I can sleep.
I'd give anything to feel no pain.
Name your price and take the past away.
Take every memory ingrained in me, in me.

They say I haven't been myself.


4. TRANSLATE

I'm lost for words and I can't say, the things that crawl my mind.
And on the surface I beg you, read between the lines.

I'm lost for words and I can't say, the things that crawl my mind.
And on the surface I beg you, read between the lines.
I want to find a way, to replace the things I lost.
They left so suddenly, couldn't pick the pieces up.

See the color leave my eyes, but it's just too hard to translate.
Chemicals that don't align, and I'm just too hard to translate.
See an all familiar face, but it's just to hard to translate.
Feel forever out of place, and I'm just too hard to translate.

I feel the demons inside me. They're trapped inside my mind.
The greed and envy it haunts me. And it leaves me blind.
I want to find a way, to replace the things I lost.
They left so suddenly, couldn't pick the pieces up.

See the color leave my eyes, but it's just too hard to translate.
Chemicals that don't align, and I'm just too hard to translate.
See an all familiar face, but it's just to hard to translate.
Feel forever out of place, and I'm just too hard to translate.

Shadows only show when the light comes, but I see them all the time.
Well if I could describe how it all looks, bite my tongue when I'm going blind.

See the color leave my eyes, but it's just too hard to translate.
Chemicals that don't align, and I'm just too hard to translate.
See an all familiar face, but it's just to hard to translate.
Feel forever out of place, and I'm just too hard to translate.

Just too hard to translate, just too hard to translate,
Just too hard to translate, just too hard to translate.


5. MISS YOUR FACE

I'm sick of living off of leaving all the things I thought I loved.
It's not the fact they all deceive, I just believe a lying tongue
And maybe, I was built for the guilt that I let sink in.
But lately, I would kill for the will that lived in me.

Would it be easier to turn away,
From all the things we've made.
Too afraid and I can't take it.
And down the road I know I'll miss your face,
And all the things we made.
Too afraid and I can't fake it.

And I don't mean to kill this dream we've got
I'm used to lying through my teeth before the feeling seems to stop.
And maybe, I can stay, run away from the pain inside.
But lately, I'm aware, I don't care for the ones I leave behind.

Would it be easier to turn away,
From all the things we've made.
Too afraid and I can't take it.
And down the road I know I'll miss your face,
And all the things we made.
Too afraid and I can't fake it.

I'm so sorry, she cut me deep,
And hope hasn't found me since.

Would it be easier to turn away,
From all the things we've made.
Too afraid and I can't take it.

Would it be easier to turn away,
From all the things we've made.
Too afraid and I can't take it.
And down the road I know I'll miss your face,
And all the things we made.
Too afraid and I can't fake it.


6. THE ART OF EYE CONTACT

Away, away, we drift away.

I feel it all lately, I wonder if I'm what you need.
When I hold you in I feel as if there's less of me.

We lay there silent and exchange stares
But still say nothing like it's not there.
If I left now, would I miss you when it's too late.
If I left now would you hate me today.

Stop me from moving.
Keep me from the fears that know me best.
You know what the truth is.
You can have whatever soul is left.

While we drift away, away, we drift away.
While we drift away, away, we drift away.

You know how to pull me in when you feel alone.
I'm a sucker for a warm bed, yeah it feels like home
But I still feel empty, my feet still get cold.
Anything that makes me whole.

We lay there silent and exchange stares
But still say nothing like it's not there.
If I left now, would I miss you when it's too late.
If I left now would you hate me today.

Stop me from moving.
Keep me from the fears that know me best.
You know what the truth is.
You can have whatever soul is left.

Stop me from moving.
Keep me from the fears that know me best.
You know what the truth is.
You can have whatever soul is left.

But I'll lay here in bed with my heart in my hand
Till you're just as tired as me.
When I come to my senses, and you're feeling restless.
This will all repeat
But it's okay, you know I'll stay.
Yeah it's okay, we'll drift away.

Away, away, we drift away.

Stop me from moving.
Keep me from the fears that know me best.
You know what the truth is.
You can have whatever soul is left.

Stop me from moving.
Keep me from the fears that know me best.
You know what the truth is.
You can have whatever soul is left.

But it's okay, you know I'll stay.
Yeah it's okay, we'll drift away.


7. MODERN LOVE AFFAIR

How can I say that you're worth it?
Tell me let your love right in, while you lie awake with him.
Perfectly plead for my patience.
Though you're caught up in the sheets, I know sinners never sleep.

Am I a fool for falling for this.
Put to the side like I don't exist.

Don't tell me to leave, while I'm still dreaming.
Quit falling for me, while he is fast asleep.
Don't call when it all comes crumbling.
I won't let you repeat, this cycle has to end.

So long, it's been fun, now we're done.

Miss you's and wanting you here now.
What a sick and twisted way, to keep both of us at bay.
Truthfully ruthless and reckless.
We ignore the warning signs, buried in your twisted mind.

Am I a fool for falling for this.
Put to the side like I don't exist.

Don't tell me to leave, while I'm still dreaming.
Quit falling for me, while he is fast asleep.
Don't call when it all comes crumbling.
I won't let you repeat, this cycle has to end.

So long, it's been fun, now we're done.

Am I a fool for falling for this?
Put to the side, like I don't exist.

Don't tell me to leave, while I'm still dreaming.
Quit falling for me, while he is fast asleep.
Don't call when it all comes crumbling.
I won't let you repeat, this cycle has to end.

So long, it's fun, but we're done.
So long, it's fun, but we're done.


8. INSIDE VOICES

I watch from blackened bars, through the window to my soul.
I stand behind closed doors, with a broken heart from shattered hope.
I scrape and I claw through bloodstained walls, as they start caving in.
I swear I'll fix this. But you just won't listen.

I used to make a sound that shook the earth beneath me.
Now, they're not even listening.
I used to have a voice. I used to be so sure.
I'd dream, they could never silence me.
They're not even listening.
I used to have a voice. I used to be so sure.
Feeling trapped beneath the static.

Inside a broken mind is the place that I call home.
I let my thoughts unwind, as they leave my body panic prone.
I beg for peace within me, as I lose a piece of me.
Silent screams refuse to ring, cause hopelessness can't sing.

I used to make a sound that shook the earth beneath me.
Now, they're not even listening.
I used to have a voice. I used to be so sure.
I'd dream, they could never silence me.
They're not even listening.
I used to have a voice. I used to be so sure.
Feeling trapped beneath the static.

I used to make a sound that shook the earth beneath me.
Now, they're not even listening.
I used to have my voice. I used to…
Dream, they could never silence me.
They're not even listening.
I used to have a voice. I used to be so sure.
Feeling trapped beneath the static.

Trapped beneath the static.
Trapped beneath the static.
Trapped beneath the static.
Trapped beneath the static.


9. WHAT A SHAME

What have I done. Tell me where did I go wrong.
Is it time to say goodbye and justify the truth I know.
Promise I'm fine, sure it won't show.
State of minds, they spiral out of control.

My mistakes are mine to own now. I'm to blame.
I will bury my excuses. What a shame.
They've been my escape and I've gotta break these habits now.
I've been so vacant, trying to escape these hollow sounds.

This hurt me bad. She hurt me more.
I could play this game for days, but in the end I'm still not whole.
Solemnly swear, so out of hand.
Yeah it seems like, I've forgotten who I am.

My mistakes are mine to own now. I'm to blame.
I will bury my excuses. What a shame.
They've been my escape and I've gotta break these habits now.
I've been so vacant, trying to escape these hollow sounds.

This is a cry for help I don't show.
No empathy for what you don't know.

I'm done with this, can't run from it anymore.
Wipe it all away, and cut the fray that weakens the rope.

They've been my escape and I've gotta break these habits now.
I've been so vacant, trying to escape these hollow sounds.

My mistakes are mine to own now. I'm to blame.
I will bury my excuses. What a shame.
They've been my escape and I've gotta break these habits now.
I've been so vacant, trying to escape these hollow sounds.

These hollow sounds.
These hollow sounds.


10. FOR YOUR SAKE

Chemical, dripping dark, dark, out of my soul.
Cynical, with a cry I'm out of control.
You say I'm too far gone.
Dug a hole, and you cut straight down to the bone.
I'll remind you, the night you left me alone.
Today I beg for numb.

Out of sight, out of mind.
Took what's mine and you threw it away.
And for the sake of you, find someone new,
To medicate the pain.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Took what's mine and you threw it away.
And for the sake of you, find someone new,
To medicate your pain.

Chemical, dripping dark, dark, down in my veins.
Drifting far, disregard dead thoughts in my brain.
The light escapes my eyes.
Skeptical of the place you're taking me now.
Kill me slow, I remain complacent with how.
I've let you bleed me dry.

Out of sight, out of mind.
Took what's mine and you threw it away.
And for the sake of you, find someone new,
To medicate the pain.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Took what's mine and you threw it away.
And for the sake of you, find someone new,
To medicate your pain.

It's on your hands, the blood.
You asked for it, because.
You wanted to take control of a vacant home.
You thought I let you in.
But I never will again.

Out of sight, out of mind.
Took what's mine and you threw it away
And for the sake of you, find someone new,
To medicate the pain.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Took what's mine and you threw it away
And for the sake of you, find someone new,
To medicate your pain.


11. EILEY

How can you say this was all part of your plan.
Start explaining.
Crafted from hope and hospital beds, she's gone.
And honestly…

You fed a dose of comatose to what I love most.
Death is not a game with the ones I hold close.
She was mine, mine, you can't deny.
Three years is too quick to die.

Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume.
I'm worthless to the world. You're innocent and pure.
God, why didn't you choose me over her?

Tell me she's listening as I search for signs
Of why I'm standing.
Left with this hole, that six feet of dirt can't fill.
So why don't you

Just look me in the eyes. Say it straight to my face.
What type of man takes a girl from her place.
She was mine, mine, you can't deny.
Three years is too quick to die.

Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume.
I'm worthless to the world. You're innocent and pure.
God, why didn't you choose me?
Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume.
I'm worthless to the world. You're innocent and pure.
God, why didn't you choose me over her?

So answer me, how am I supposed to deal with this.
Why did she die, when I'm the one deserving it.
And what the hell am I to tell my little sisters.
To ease their tears when they tell me that they miss her.
And what about my mother and my father.
They lost a child and deep inside they wither.
God, I'd do anything to ease the pain.
That ripped through the chest of my brothers that day.

She was mine, she was mine.
What did we do to make you take her from our lives?
She was mine, she was mine.
Oh God, oh what did we do?

Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume.
I'm worthless to the world. You're innocent and pure.
God, why didn't you choose me?
Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume.
I'm worthless to the world. You're innocent and pure.
God I question your judgment.
You're innocent and pure. I'm worthless to the world.
Tell me why you picked me over her...
