Feel 02:27
lyrics
buy track
You tell me to say how I feel. Well I feel like a hot mess, and I can't seem to focus or steer. Oftentimes I feel worthless. I can't decipher what's real. This panic keeps growing in my chest, will I ever trust what I fear? It's hell to only second guess. What did you expect me to say? That I'm fine and I hope you're ok. Don't give a damn either way. We're all merely actors and this is only a play. But I wish you would stay. Your memory keeps keepin me awake.

Disappear 02:48
lyrics
buy track
There was a time, when we would rendezvous under clouded skies. In my tree fort kissing our fingers entwined. Winter came and locked us in Sat near the fire and I kissed you again. Now these years have passed you're still on my mind. With fancy dinners and our parents records Softly calling out our names together These years I often sit and wonder whatever happened to my love? You disappeared. A mote of dust in the atmosphere. I miss you near. With all my heart I wish you you were here. With fancy dinners and our parents records Softly calling out our names together These years I often sit and wonder whatever happened to my love?

Damaged Goods 05:10
lyrics

I'm damaged goods, it's true. But I fill my cracks with pieces of you. As I stand here in the rain, wondering if I'll ever see you again. Believe me, but don't trust. It's eating me from the inside. I'd let you see, but you'd only run away. What happened to I'll love you forever? Did you find someone else? Does he treat you better? I know I'm not perfect whatsoever. But I can be someone else. Don't feel any better. I can't see you anymore. These jagged memories still litter my floor. Is this the price I have to pay? Are the chains that are holding me, strong enough to keep me away? Believe me, but don't trust. It's eating me from the inside. I'd let you see, but you'd only run away. What happened to I'll love you forever? Did you find someone else? Does he treat you better? I know I'm not perfect whatsoever. But I can be someone else. Don't feel any better. What happened to I'll love you forever? Did you find someone else? I know he doesn't treat you any better. I know I'm not perfect whatsoever. But you can go fuck yourself. I feel so much better.

Transient 03:24
lyrics
buy track
Darling, may I have your name? Long time since I've seen such a pretty face. Then again, you're all the same, Masquerading around. So baby, let me hold your hand. I know it's transient, but that's how it ends. In a moment, I could be your man. Forgotten like memories. Everyone, they wanna fool you, maybe use you. Child some people will protect you, but most will just neglect you. I have my motives, you have your secrets, why do we keep them hidden? Sweetheart, I won't play no more games. I'm downtrodden, and I feel like this every day. So if I asked, do you think you'd stay? For an hour, maybe more. Everyone, they wanna fool you, maybe use you. Child some people will protect you, but most will just neglect you. I have my motives, you have your secrets, why do we keep them hidden? Lover there ain't nothin I'd rather do, then spend every moment of my life with you. If you think you could stay for an hour or two, that's all I'd ever ask you to do.

I Wish We Never Met 02:46
lyrics
buy track
When I was young You were love These times were fun Where has it gone? I can't feel nothing inside my soul You used to smile I used to laugh We never cursed (at each other anyways) can we go back? I can't feel nothing inside my soul. But now we're old Senile and dumb We lost the spark in our eyes My hearts grown numb I can't feel nothing inside my soul. You see we're dying and I hate regrets I won't ever say I wish we never met But I wish we never met You made me feel something inside my soul.

Latent Meaning 03:08
lyrics
buy track
We've all searched for meaning Like it's something we believe in But with a shout what you found you yelled, "get out, or I'll keep on screamin" I can't sing like I used to but I can run if I need to With heavens grace I can escape from this place and come save you She cries with her eyes closed and through an open window I watch as you burn, the best lessons learned are so painful These days keep on marchin Towards something so frightening In this last fading gasp, there's a crash and my ears won't stop ringin. Can you hear any part of your heart anymore? Are you numb to the word? Do you know what you're here for?

Surrender 04:17
lyrics
buy track
Do you know what's been missing? The other side beckons, just listen. When you can't fake a smile without thinking. Why am I here? Why do I question? Your power Your ego So hungry and painful I know Your medicine Your halo Such ignorance What a mouthful I know. Tell me how well do you know yourself? Distractions aplenty, and you drown in your wealth. This daily reminder that I'm going to hell This seems way too easy, might as well.
