To Be Dead
03:46

Woke up on, the side of the road
Dead or alive, nobody would know
Darkness fell, as he held her up head high
Saying cmon little girl don't you cry.
Sleepless nights, as they tired to fight
So many demons inside their minds
Calling out to the fallen lord
Theres no escape from the killing floor
and they soon learned what it meant
to be dead….. to be dead….to be dead…to be dead.
Step by step, they limped through the land
crossing oceans and dunes of sand.
With no destination in mind
they trudged on in the haze of red.
End of the line, the world seems to end
Little girl tries to pretend
She's in a bad dream and she'll wake up soon
But its the real world, theres no screaming now
Take up your royal oath, your sacred vow
to be dead…to be dead…to be dead…to be dead.
Darkness surrounded the two
Crying out of the black and blue
Don't leave me now, come back he said
One last goodbye
A final embrace, a rolling tear
Makes the girl realize she has no fear
to be dead…to be dead… to be dead…to be dead..

Closer to the Truth

Aren't you glad how the time passed
locked away covered in shadow
Hard to remember
Only glimpses left of December
But there still around, drops of blood left on the ground
And theres no going back from this point
Cuz everything I do moves me closer to the truth
And I'm never lost when I'm thinking
This thing that you call love.
So i'll play along
Acting like you weren't wrong
But you're about to be surprised
Just waiting till you understand
All the shit you've done
But I guess thats asking too much
So i'll bide my time
And theres no going back from this point
Cuz everything I do moves me closer to the truth
And I'm never lost when I'm thinking of
This thing that you call love.
So go ahead
You can try to erase it
But just so you know
I haven't forgotten what you were x8
Chorus x2

Lucy

Lucy let go of me
You did this to yourself, despite what you yelp.
Lucy I'm sorry I couldn't save you
but you seem to not care at all
You gave up on yourself
as the doctor wished you well
And as the truck took you away
You looked back at me expecting me to have something to say.
And I know now that I'm just fine without you by my side
You still look at me the same way you did when we first met
But I need you to forget, I need you to forget.
Oh I'm begging you to move on through
And Lucy I can't lie to you
when you left me I didn't know what to do.
But time goes by and people change
But I can't deny theres a part of me that still feels that way.
And theres been so many I've caught a glimpse of you
Reflecting in the light or in the corner of my view.
I remember sitting down by the lake, splashing water on your face.
And I do miss those days
But i need you to forget that place.
And a piece of me will stay with you
But the rest of me is done and through
So please forget me, please forget me.

Summertime

Do people tell you that you're lying
when you say you're not afraid.
Of all the people that are dying all the lives you gotta save.
Every morning you wake up
Theres something new you gotta do
I'm just praying you do something and I'll see you soon
Cause there's something in the air
And I need you to know
You've got so little time
Before you go
So in the summertime
Will you take me back
To a place I love
When I need to laugh
When the day is done
And the clock slows
And the sun is up
But summer time won't be soon
And I'm expecting so much of you
So till then, I am gone.
So I guess this is goodbye, I guess this is goodbye
Oh but we all have our doubts
Thats the risk that you take
When you open up you're mouth
And it makes you shake
But look at all the babies running
To an easier state
Towards a life not worth living
Where there's nothing to take.
So in the summertime
Will you take me back
To a place I love
When I need to laugh
When the day is done
And the clock slows
And the sun is up
But summer time won't be soon
And I'm expecting so much of you
So till then, I am gone.
So I guess this is goodbye, I guess this is goodbye
If you're frozen place
what you gonna do
when your life is on the move
I'm not sure yet, but I'm making my mind up soon
But summer time won't be soon
And I'm expecting so much of you
So till then, this is goodbye.

Silver and Gold

So you've found your place
Is it what you expected
As you watch and wait
Trapped behind your gaze
Saved up your time
But now you're stuck inside this line
Never get this feeling
you've been trying to hold
But at least you've got silver and gold
At least you've got silver and gold
Silver and Gold
Silver and Gold
Reaching out your hand
but there's nothing you can do
All I need is one more step, one more step to make you move
One more step to make you move (repeats)
But at least you've got silver and gold
At least you've got silver and gold
Silver and Gold
Silver and Gold
But at least you've got
At least you've got silver and gold
Silver and Gold
Silver and Gold

Colorless skies
Cover me
Keep me high
The dullest dream
Lovers in quarrel again
But why should they pretend
But I can't be late
Stuck in the crowd
the quicksand is sucking me down
and its all the same
the face keeps the name
Just hide me away
And can they tell
I'm in love with the rain
If my smiles a little strange
Holding my chest again
wishing the sleeplessness would end
And I would never say a thing
and I would never say a thing
And so I've found a place
where I can lay and keep it down
With apologies that never last
Stuck in this circle all over and over
Stuck in the circle all over again (repeats)
But I don't really care going nowhere
But I don't really care stuck in this circle all over again (repeats)
Stuck in this circle all over again
