Old Eyes 02:47
lyrics

Won't you give me back my old eyes, I've seen enough Done time before but never so mundane Caught up in dreams of somethin' more and I missed so much Ain't quite the life that I had planned to make Careless and out of my mind Never saw it slippin' away Now the dread's been creepin' up, how will I get mine When not a thing I got is ever mine alone So I pushed and pulled away, our lives' had been too intertwined Ain't better off since I've been on my own And I'd like to set it right Or maybe I'd rather go Let the past slide by, just another stepping stone Won't you give me back my old eyes, I've seen enough Lord I been down before but never felt this way Found the future's just a lie that had me feelin' rushed Nearly lost control of the mess I made Careless and out of my mind Never saw it slippin' away Always wastin' time when lord I got a road to brave

Misplaced 03:47
lyrics

You're hardly fit for compassion, you're wanted You'll never lose your love for the chase Can't carry on depended on in that fashion Your heart wasn't made to be accepting of chains But it strange she sees change in the light When the bond of the night ain't strong enough for the day Can't give her all of your time you know That she'd just happily waste So go on and make it easy on yourself Can't live your life giving it all to someone else Hold back, it's more than time you could waste For the love that you give could always be misplaced 'Cause love don't always do what it's told Though some think the heart could never mistreat the soul You're findin' fear in devotion Like it's a trick to take your freedoms away You try to escape emotion, evading the shame Of you declining when she asks you to stay Is that what you want, to treat her like a drug While she's searchin' for affection in the lines of your face Play it like love, to break the connection Get your fix and then feel sick throwin' the needle away So go on and make it easy on yourself Can't live your life giving it all to someone else Hold back, it's more than time you could waste For the love that you give could always be misplaced 'Cause love don't always do what it's told Though some think the heart could never mistreat the soul So go on and make it easy on yourself Can't live your life giving it all to someone else Hold back, it's more than time you could waste For the love that you give could always be misplaced 'Cause love don't always do what it's told Though some think the heart could never mistreat the soul

Back to Bite 04:22
lyrics

I guess it feels alright, if only for the night What's in the bottles has been drained Lulling the first fits of suicide And while the blood moon waxed and waned Cast a grim light on risin' tides Why is it nothing seems to change Something always comes back to bite Oh, no other spirits fill the whole Left by yours now, the pain's still there You're just licking wounds and getting stoned Yeah, like therapy's being impaired And let depressants take control Numbing the feeling Could have it all, you'd never know Could have it all and you still wouldn't care 'Cause in the morning you'll be breakin' down You feel alright, you're holding back for now But in the morning you'll be breakin' down It's always this way Kill the light when seeing's too much Somethin' they're saving just for you Help you lean on an old crutch You know something quick could get you through Don't you realize you had enough Do you think they'd have it off then if they knew They're just one more thing to be ashamed of 'Cause in the morning you'll be breakin' down You feel alright, you're holding back for now But in the morning you'll be breakin' down It's always this way 'Cause in the morning you'll be breakin' down You feel alright, you're holding back for now But in the morning you'll be breakin' down It's always this way Feels alright, if only for the night What's in the bottles fades away Dry and accosted by daylight A sickening guilt and fits of shame Twisting up inside Can't always carry the weight Of everything you've been burnt by

Always Bleeding 04:10
lyrics
buy track
Down in the streets a plot's been set aside This hole we occupy ain't fit for a dream Seemed better scrapin' by in the land of cream and honies, right On your own left to survive in a cold den of thieves Seems I recall a land stretching to the sky From mountain peaks the sun would rise to enlighten the plain Seems I recall a land offered enough for all And it took our greed to feed the fall of a child untamed Take what you need and run Chase the life that once was found following the setting sun Stifled the screaming as they held us back, blacked our eyes They took control, left her defiled and drained Slid us the steel and as we slowly slide the knife inside They whisper, "Ain't this what you want, ain't you entertained?" Time after time we rush to greet the unknown blind Resting assured the other side will be all we could dream When, time after time, we find all that's been left behind Was never worth the sacrifice, we had all we could need Take what you need and run Chase the life that once was found following the setting sun All of life, this is fleeting Oh how I wish it'd stay But my time's always bleeding And pulling away from me Am I lost for dreaming 'bout a turning page, a rising tide It's all too far gone to think it ever could change When ignorance comes easy, standing guard over prosthetic minds While my thoughts may differ, all around me remains Who'll draw the line? We stand opposed on every side No morals override a stake to be claimed This peaceful shrine will fall before it's realized And our so-called progression lies at the root of the blame Take what you need and run Before the life that once was found's gone with the setting sun All of life, this is fleeting Oh how I wish it'd stay But my time's always bleeding And pulling away from me

Blissful 02:37
lyrics
buy track
You looked good standing at the cemetery gate But I know I'd have to stand in line to wait And I laughed at jokes I knew that were bad I took things not meant to be had And you ask for a bit more than a fistful And remain calmly, ignorantly blissful It felt good but mostly under the belt Folded hands, speaking in tongues were I knelt And I know that things could be much worse So come down or head home in a hearse And you ask for a bit more than a fistful And remain calmly, ignorantly blissful She dyed her blonde hair blonde, she needed the change Through Manson shades, sweet serenades I was almost left impressed And you ask for a bit more than a fistful And remain calmly, ignorantly blissful
