Bloodline 04:48
Verse: Don't you try to stop me from dying, It's all I look forward to. So please, please don't let me believe, That I could get more out of you. This mountain of dirt, where we laid down our claim, Turned a poor boy into a king. Ruler of a grave where we're bound to lay, This bloodline is running thin Chorus: Save me if you need some kind of faith, You can scream out my name Save me if you need some kind of faith, Pray away all this pain Blame me if you need something to hate Verse: Wish it were easy to open your eyes, And see what you pretended to be. It's hard, it's hard to throw down your arms, And give into your enemy. Rattle your cage, in this prison of war, Scream into their deafened ears, The blood, the blood that twisted your tongue, Sends you far away from here Chorus: Save me if you need some kind of faith, You can scream out my name. Save me if you need some kind of faith, Pray away all this pain. Blame me if you need something to hate Don't you try to stop me from dying, It's all I look forward to.

It's a given you're not gonna ease my pain, This burden is yours to keep. Is it wrong to say that I can't relate, Is it memory or is it just a dream. Let me leave or let me die Chorus I thought I told you, I thought I told you, I'm still crying while my love grows colder, So don't you bring me down again. You've done your time, but you'll never find, How to make the world a part of you. But it's not your heart, if it's not a part, Of anything that remains of you. Let me leave or let me die Chorus I thought I told you, I thought I told you, I'm still dying while my heart grows older, So don't you bring me down again.

It’s the start of a never-ending night Forever never lasts if you’ve done something right Your fears grow fonder with the years Faceless as you stare a hole through a thousand broken mirrors The thought of a new you is to speak some old lie Choke until you realize you’ll be perfect when you die Borrow a body to go searching for a soul Can’t take back the things you’ve asked from everyone you know Chorus The stars in your eyes in the days before you die When you start to fade away From the harm that comes from the arms Of someone you once knew The moon is a light bulb sure to break Stolen by tomorrow’s sun to die another day The sky waits for a chance to fall But you can’t be scarred by these falling shards When you feel so small It’s the start of a never ending night Forever only lasts if you’ve done nothing right Your fears grow darker with the years And you crush everything you touch And all who hold you dear

Yesterday, it's all the same, just reflections of today Just another sight that's borrowed, from tomorrow's looking glass Wash away, all the days, watch the colors turn to grey Looking down a pit with no bottom, falling in the bottle is close enough Chorus Every little thing you try to be, only ever seems to be for nothing The door was always there open but you cannot break away Save yourself, from this Hell, you've got a soul that's meant to sell Sell it to the devil for a dollar, trade it for a heaven that is half yours Legacy, twisted branch in this family tree, gone when it finally falls with me Chopped down, to make some firewood, the only good you'll ever do Chorus Every little thing you try to be, only ever seems to be for nothing The door was always there open but you cannot break away

Only Ghost 04:25
You’re the only ghost in this town The only queen without a crown Trying so hard not to drown And I saw you chasing your dreams away A victim of your only crime A witness who only wants to lie A jury that can’t ever decide And I saw you chasing your dreams away Chorus If this fading light Cuts you like a knife This broken house won’t make a home But you’ll stay there anyway You try so hard to hide the truth Swallow the lie surrounding you It was nothing that you couldn’t do And I saw you chasing your dreams away Another day that has come and passed You’ve done nothing strong enough to last Begging for it to hold you back And I saw you chasing your dreams away Chorus If this fading light Cuts you like a knife This poison prophet won’t guide you home But you’ll follow anyway Chorus If this fading light Cuts you like a knife This crown of thorns won’t make you king But you’ll wear it anyway

Streetlight 03:26
He took a walk out on the war path, Scared little man power tripping to nowhere, One look from those eyes, Gets you tongue tied, His verbal noose wraps around your neck, So cavalier, he'll never see the fear In these pretty words that keep you here Chorus Red and blue beacon in the night, Ignoring the warning Till you're through, burned out like a streetlight Ignoring the warning Follow the line down this dead end, Turn you back on those who think they know Tugging at the bottle with your heartstrings Your heart of glass can't be broken again Trailing on your foot steps, down the avenue Did you ever think you could break away Red and blue beacon in the night, Ignoring the warning Till you're through, burned out like a streetlight Ignoring the warning White lines cross a stick man, beneath a streetlight And I don't know why
