Spending our dormant lives
Trapped in this slow demise
Don’t ask me why
Everyone else is in overdrive
What can I say?
When you just don’t care about me anymore
What can I do?
Now that you are through with me
Is everyone else happily living?
Effortlessly interacting
Whilst we are busy dying
As you just aren’t replying
Why won’t you reply to me?
Why won’t you reply to me?

Tonight
04:07
|
|||
|
Leave me in peace, I’m alright sitting alone
With that said, I need somebody of my own
Why does it seem like everyone’s moving along?
When all I want is someone to make me feel like I belong
There are several ways tonight
Don’t let it fade away and die
Don’t let it waste away before you’ve even tried
No, not this time
No, not tonight
Why can’t I talk to anyone or anyone talk to me?
Is there a disease in my brain that always kills a guarantee?
Can’t seem to fathom that I could be alright
That I could get everything I want here tonight

Detox

I love spending my days with you
But I’ve gotta just refrain
I love spending my nights with you
But I’ve gotta stop this again
I love being just with you
But I’ve gotta stop wasting myself away
I love being just with you
But I think I’m gonna go insane again
For a little while
I’ll clean up my act
I’m coming down
Can’t look back
It’s so hostile
What a way to react
In detox style
A matter of fact
I love spending my days with you
But I can’t play stupid games
I love spending my nights with you
But I don’t want you to feel like you’re to blame
I love being just with you
But I have to stop wasting myself away
I love being just with you
But I know I’m gonna go insane again
Once in a blue moon
Could I resume?
It’s all denial
That I could live this lifestyle

It's Not Alright

Venus said to Aphrodite
This mindset will be the death of me
What can I do about my thoughts?
What can I do?
It’s not right
It’s not alright
It’s not right
It’s not alright
Aphrodite said back to her
Let them out, don’t let them stir
But what can I do about my pride?
What can I do?

All the Time
03:04
|
|||
|
I wish I could just repeat the whole truth
About this melodrama in our youth
Shall I just pretend that everything’s fine?
And that we’re always happy all the time
I’m so sick and weary of these lies
And pretending to be fine all the time
Just to always satisfy
Then a truth gets denied
To present the image
We’re alright
I wish I could just go and tell the whole world
Just exactly how our depiction unfurled
How my happiness stems from you
But also how you made me paint the town blue

Sharks and Blood
03:21
|
|||
|
Isn’t it funny how I’m back now in the clear?
Russian roulette, recently I’ve played the game of fear
Repeating, it’s always gonna repeat in my mind
Despite any peace that I later may find
I’m caught now in this cycle
Sharks and blood, this vicious circle
I wish that it could be erased
Then I wouldn’t be here
In this place
In a nightmare, I am sinking down to my knees
So real is the fear that I can’t breathe
Absolutely, I need this escape my love
Though don’t think that you are not enough

Until Tomorrow
03:51
|
|||
|
I have to think now, block it out
Can't seem to stop this or work it out
I’m constantly on edge
Worried you’re near the end
I don’t know where else I would go
I’ll put it off until tomorrow
I’ve found a new path for me to follow
Lie through my teeth, promises are hollow
Until tomorrow
Don’t you think that I would change this?
Don't just tell me to snap out of it

This Haunted House
03:40
|

|
Things have changed
I was welcome here yesterday, swept away
But not today
Things are strange
Everything is different these days
Oh, those days
Is it this town?
This haunted house?
Or am I just full of doubt?
What once were halcyon nights
Are now consumed by a poltergeist
Is it this town?
This haunted house?
Or am I just being drowned out?
I need to get away from here
I'll fade away, I'll disappear
We need to move on
From this place we still call home, this ghost town
We're tied down
We could be
In some other phantom's lair, somewhere
Oh, anywhere

With You
02:27
|
|||
|
We were running in parallel
Living our own separate lives
So hard to mould new routines
It's irrelevant now though
I'm so happy to be here with you
With you
With you
With you
It’s been a tough transition
Into a better way of living
Some difficult decisions
Resulting in positive revisions
I don’t want to go back to how it was
I would rather just move onwards with you
With you
