Dead Seas 01:34
Another day of my life where I wished I was dead Forced to forget the best days of my life You don't know my story Or what I've sacrificed But my arms will bleed out before i give into this These are empty streets and empty dreams Things change but minds stay the same
2.
If I'm alone in this then alone is where I'll be There's nothing for you here but tears I don't care if your soul is dying, I'm chasing the last horizon for myself The nostalgia's killing me The nights I don't want to remember Are the ones I can never forget Always forced to take the long road home I won't lose what I first found in this I know this takes everything that I've got I know the shackles have me in the dark Locks and keys of a thousand sinking chains Even though I'm burning I still shine brighter than you I go beyond everything to still be true What will my life ever prove? My nightmares sometimes take the best of me I visited places that I thought I would never go And I won't ever go back It's unforgivable Always unforgivable What will my life ever prove? The second star on the right never shined so bright You're a suffering pawn on a game that's always dying You thought I would never surface You were always on your knees for a blackened sun Wishing for a future that would never come You stopped in your tracks when you saw me alive You thought I would never surface
3.
The Undertow 03:40
Bring the cavalry, bring the guns Kill one and save a thousand You're trafficking everyone around your heart What difference does it make? Swapping one hell for another, keep yourself under water If your heart's in the right place, then Where is your head? Forever dead in a forever abyss Pick up your life and pick a side I'm not another worthless soul, in which you can confide I remember when you thought you were such a threat Drown motherfucker I couldn't stare into more hateful eyes The other side of this hole isn't providence It's being swept away, into a black sea I will leave you abandoned, defenseless and a crippled pride You're lost and can't be found Grab the soul and watch the eyes fade Drown The last one begged Arms tied with a starving tongue Waking up with the vortex at your feet I've been told that I would die one day But breathing your lies i killed myself today You were sent from hell Drown

I see them lurking in the shadows I know its wrong for me to hate my life I know my dreams are out there, I've spent my whole life chasing them The inside covers the outside betrayal has me running miles The world never goes away Always selling lies and finding prey It's time to hit them where it hurts When Grabbing life is hard even with two hands You still live life ready for war You've been gone so long No one knows your face I can't believe the words from the mouth of a rat Brother, who the fuck else have you deceived? This life I live is fucking mine Watching you die makes me feel so alive You think you can hurt me, you think you can break me? Fear survives when you're afraid to live The inside covers the outside, betrayal has me running miles The world never goes away Always selling lies and finding prey Don't feed the mouth that doesn't want to be fed They don't need you so they'll end up dead
5.
I will tear this mountain down with my cold dead hands I watched the rain fall I was the one that never wanted to feel If only the days went by like wind I was always sent back to nothing No one followed I led my life alone Searching myself finding memories that have pulled me back The roads I walk don't compare to what I climb No ones waiting for me when I come home Prepare for your final step, One slip and you'll be dead Everything I see, always hits me, with losing hope But I try so hard to make my life a milestone I'm drifting to nowhere If there's nothing real out there, then there's nothing for me No shores in sight a race against my better judgement Fighting for the chance You'll turn around and I'll be gone again Reaching through the atmosphere Knowing that your hands will slip right through So much that I missed I will never get back It doesn't matter because I now have the world to my back It's easy to get lost in the storm Frozen and lifeless, Lifeless
6.
The Mariner 03:23
This is hell You can't get blood from stone You can't make a dead man breathe You can't feel the gasp in his lungs Walker of the dead do you have a name? Is defiance worth your sad reality? I'm still true to myself in the uncharted waters Staying clear of the depths below I've already been tied down to the floor And felt the pressure crush my hands Where is your loyalty neck deep buried in this hole? Distrust only goes so far You'll fall and the other looks the other way These roots come through the surface And wrap around my feet You're the judge and jury of your own game When I'm laying out to sea Maybe I'll come across something But you will never see my face again Everyday your fucking heart sinks lower Show what your heart is Black as the sea you'll drown in I live and the let rest die So I thank you for letting me free And I thank you for destroying yourself I live and let you die
7.
I watch the whole world go by, and I still see you I was searching for something that doesn't exist I can feel your eyes on me I took a chance on a worthless soul You could never see the pain in my eyes You've grown ice over your heart But it's always the same You'd say you know me, but struggle to know my name Look in the depths and you will see yourself Standing there in between dreams You've been down this road before You know whats on the other side Night after night You think the world should pity you No one wants your poison You can put on a dress But all i still see is a pig Impossible to pull the regret off your face With having a black hole below your waist You cry those tears, because what you've done Can't be forgotten Whatever you have to give Has already been seen You will never realize your dreams are sinking You leave me to rot and act like everything fine There's nothing special about you While you strive for acceptance Everyone looks the other way I'm not sleeping but I know I'm walking in your dreams All you are is cheap

The Harbour 04:07
Steady hands as I cast off alone Even though I cant compress the undertow There's nothing left to discuss Their eyes are a mirror for my mind, but I've already lost it I'm a fading poet with a gravestone to my name What will i miss because i will be dead? Until the sun rises I won't wake from this dreamless sleep Walking this path alone will conquer all Miles and miles away It's not home when there is a rope round your neck Home is far from here Drawn and quartered choking up your final words To the end you dragged this They will all be crying to burn I had no where to crawl up All you do is lie to yourself This is a test in perspective in what i really have Waking up another day I will find something in this misery Will you open your eyes when the sky falls? Liars, liars I'll see you floating topside Stay dead I'll see you floating topside The albatross means I'm almost home All you have left is my ghost Count your blessings not the days Where were you when my life was on the line? You sat back as the soul behind my eyes died Where were you?
