Lay it down tell me how you really feel Give it up screaming it was never real But I'm still breathing, my heart's still beating away Packed up all your shit and now you're out the door To find yourself hoping that there's something more But quitting is contagious and you're just sick You think you can have what you left behind I'm over it Your love is overrated, so faded through I'd rather be dead than here with you You broke my heart, left me frustrated That much is true I’d rather be dead than here with you Came into my world and left me here to die You tried to pull the plug but I'm still alive And I'm not going down without a fight I’m off of your hook where you left sinking down Out of your orbit, just spinning around I can talk the talk and walk the walk You're losing the game, you played yourself Your love is overrated, so faded through I'd rather be dead than here with you You broke my heart, left me frustrated That much is true I’d rather be dead than here with you I’m gone before you ever gotta hand on it Goodbye You know that I could never stand for it To all you motherfuckers thinking you can replace me Lies can cross it out but can never erase me

Savage 03:25
Like a nightmare living in a daydream Everything that’s real is never what it seems Through the distance I can see the moon gleam Through the silence I can hear your words scream There's no way out, it's going down It's time to wake up Set it off set it off do it right now Light it up light it up let it burn down Thinking lately nothing’s worth saving Aggravating and I’m suffocating Two faced and i just need to break free Your fake love never meant a damn thing There's no way out, it's going down It's time to wake up Set it off set it off do it right now Light it up light it up let it burn down Light it up watch it burn Light it up watch it burn Light it up watch it burn Light it up watch let the motherfucker burn

Living a Lie 04:01
Had a dream I lost my soul Left it spinning down a hole As you look in my eyes There’s enough to decide, I got nothing to hide You tell me that you're fine But I know what’s lying deep inside your mind But you wear this disguise with your knife in my back every time It’s out of line All these words in my head keep on forcing my hand They’re pushing me to the edge So take it all And leave me here with my back Against the wall While you're living dream I’m awake And while you're busy living your life I’m living a lie I’m an ever changing drone in a world that’s set in stone All the anger falls, the demons crawl and I don’t know where to go

Lies, your word’s a work of fiction I am feeding your addiction While you stand here saying Everything I want to hear Pierce my heart that beats away at your time Tears, a punctuation at the end of your line And I can’t let go There’s no complication to this conversation We are stuck in the wrong scene And everytime I try, I never break free There’s no use in fighting You are so inviting I keep coming back for more Fatally yours Why did I never see it coming? Tired of the game that you’re running But with nothing to lose And something prove How can I walk away? Pierce my heart that beats away at your time Tears, a punctuation at the end of your line And I can’t let go There’s no complication to this conversation We are stuck in the wrong scene And everytime I try, I never break free There’s no use in fighting You are so inviting I keep coming back for more Fatally yours Fatally yours I’m fatally yours I’ve been here before Begging for more Fatally yours
5.
Tie me down and keep me here inside With the touch of your lips As they press Against mine Silence me and take away my sight Leaving me with my heartbeat racing Through the night, through the night Use me Making your mark Abuse me Leaving your scars Keep me begging (for more) Pull on the chains of my heart Felt the pain but I can’t stay away I would give everything, I would give anything For another taste Surrendering my mind to your embrace With your force around my body Your hand against my face Go ‘til you can't take it Know that you can have it I said that I’m yours I’m so fucking yours
6.
Undertow 03:19
Am I floating Leaving the shore? Can I beg you to push me Until I can't take any more? I can’t let you go Be my waves My ebb and flow Take me down in your undertow I hear your whisper Calling my name When I kissed her… truly It just never really felt the same I can’t let you go Be my waves My ebb and flow Take me down in your undertow
7.
You and I are living in a shadow of doubt Secret lives, afraid to let our hearts break out Wasted time on how to keep our world contained Break the mold, should we throw ourselves against the grain But if I think twice then I will never decide I close my eyes and bridge the divide I’m on your side Our bodies burning across the fire The world keeps turning with our desire Put your hand into mine, I’ll take you higher As we rise above the flames Cast aside it’s hard to live outside of the light What is wrong has never ever felt so right But if I think twice then I will never decide I close my eyes and bridge the divide I’m on your side Our bodies burning across the fire The world keeps turning with our desire Put your heart into mine, I’ll take you higher As we rise above the flames
8.
Strangers 04:16
At night In my sleep Like a knife Cuts so deep The dawn is close to breaking Soon I will be waking from this dream Everything can fall away Left to wait another day Ripping right out of my hands Through my fingers like grains of sand Talking like strangers Wrapped in our anger Tell me what's going down We’ll end back here sooner or later I know what comes around, goes around Crowded in an empty room I can't stop thinking about you Talking like strangers Wrapped in our anger Tell me what's going down Too far To reach out I can't shake This self doubt I never seem to have the Answer to the questions you seek
9.
I wanted you to know That you are not alone I’m with you Take my hand and run We could both be one We will fly like shooting stars Into the night We’ll burn forever Floating across the sky Don't you look now It's a long way down Never lose hope Never touch the ground Don’t ever fade away Now we could rule the world If only for a moment You and I Don't you look now It's a long way down Never lose hope Never touch the ground Don’t ever fade away You take ahold of me As I take control of you I want you to let me in Will you just let me in?
10.
You’re not alone I’m just a moment away I’ll hear your call And not a second too late I’ll brace your fall So don’t be afraid What gets me by Is that you still believe The sun will come down I’ll be around And I’m never gonna leave your side No matter what we’ll be alright I'll be your home When you are caught in the rain If you're on the run Ill help you make an escape When all hope is gone And the light starts to fade What gets me by Is that you still believe
11.
All the things that I’ve done All the secrets I hide I’m keeping from you now You seem so fucking blind Focused on your world You forgot about mine If it’s not what you want How the hell can you deny? So happy in your ignorance And I am getting by But all I want is you And everything inside It hurts so much to lie It cuts me like a knife It leaves me here to die It takes away my life So you call this love? I’ve never felt so far away from your heart Was it not enough? It’s like we’re dead from the start Tripping on your words Has me falling from the sky The heaven we created Was all in my mind You were never what I pictured But neither was I Awake at night I’m watching you From the corner of my eye The distance is growing further You're straying from my sight The love, the warmth, the feeling Will fade into white So you're fine Youre alright But your eyes don't paint that scenery
12.
Throwing stone up against your window to see if you're awake I know it's late but please don't leave me waiting Feels right but we know it's wrong with everything at stake We made our choice and now the dream is fading in the dark One last night I wanna feel your love One more time Even if it's the end of everything Nothing can take the memory We’ve given in to our guilty conscious, we tried to walk away It's who we are, I don't think we can change it It’s 3am and my mind is locked on you, I can't escape As much as I fake it I cannot erase it I'm losing my patience Save it, meet me in the dark
