There we lay below the stars Caressing and undressing you To reveal your scars You placed your hand along my chest Invaded me You are just where I need you to be Among the lines of question We stand apart Reveal your blind eyes To the lack of discretion here To gauge what we’ve become So unclear But the question stands Among this comfort I have none to fear Alone We mend this situation Throw caution to the wind We play the game with no regrets It’s in my cards to place a bet But if we are revealed I place this in your hands Among the lines of question We stand apart Reveal your blind eyes To the lack of discretion here To gauge what we’ve become So unclear But the question stands Among this comfort I have none to fear Alone

Reptile 03:23
You hid down in your wretched hole to shed another lie I still itch from all the scales of no answers left behind Does your cold blood even course now? Do you even feel alive? And now that you’re alone Will you ruin another life? Do you find worth in every bite? Tell me, are you satisfied with what you are? A reptile I have tried so hard to shake your reptilian smile From my mind but I still taste the venom of your words Wreathing calloused hands to scrub off my lips from the kiss Off your wicked forked tongue It tastes like poison I admit Will you ruin another life? Do you find worth in every bite? Tell me, are you satisfied with what you are? A reptile Someone should skin you and hang you to dry out They could destroy you to build you back up Into an asset; something so useful Something like a boot to step on more like you I’ve watched you slither around this whole town Searching for a sense of warmth But everybody knows that you are so cold But you’ll make a decent whore Yeah, you’ve got a pretty dirty mouth Hiding fangs beneath your lips And all the lies within your hiss Will you ruin another life? Do you find worth in every bite? Tell me, are you satisfied with what you are? A reptile

There was a time I looked into your eyes And for the first time, I could truly smile Caught in your web you spun around your bed You pulled me in till everything fell down I am lost without your lie And it’s cold my dear without you here tonight Like a moth to a flame You pulled me in and scorched my broken again You warmed my heart and soul with your fire Bathed in flames, you let my ashes rain Without you, I am lost I’d gladly pay the cost to be tangled in your web just one more time Spider and the moth So now I sit here in the dark and wonder Where did I go wrong? What’s the point of life when everything ends up this way So cold and lonely When I still hold you in my heart And endless weight that drags me down I could have been the one to love you I am lost without your lie And it’s cold my dear without you here tonight Like a moth to a flame You pulled me in and scorched my broken again You warmed my heart and soul with your fire Bathed in flames, you let my ashes rain Without you, I am lost I’d gladly pay the cost to be tangled in your web just one more time Spider and the moth I could drag my feet through dirt and sand Aching for the feeling of your hand in mine till I go mad with grief And I could be the one to treat you well If you’d release me from this Hell that you have built around my heart And I could wear my heart upon my sleeve and give you every part of me And we’d be running through the tops of trees And I’d kiss you with the most passion And both of our hearts would float on to find the kind of loving that we seek I am lost without your lie And it’s cold my dear without you here tonight Like a moth to a flame You pulled me in and scorched my broken again You warmed my heart and soul with your fire Bathed in flames, you let my ashes rain Without you, I am lost I’d gladly pay the cost to be tangled in your web just one more time Spider and the moth

Retrospect 03:54
Emerging from the depths of remnants in my dormant mind Creeping up from far behind I can’t turn my eyes away Dredging through the pieces of my past to measure my own name I’m falling far behind and I can’t do this anymore I can’t make up my mind and my, my eyes can see no more Clawing through the soil of a dead dry garden I dig the bones and skeletons of demons left behind And I can’t turn my eyes away It drags me down and pulls me in as I fight for my conscience I’m falling far behind and I can’t do this any more I can’t make up my mind and my, my eyes can see no more

Her 04:02
How could I have spent my life never knowing she's alive? I wasted all this time And how could love escape my sight And leave me blind to dwell Within the path of all I've known to fail? This could mean my search will end I feel it in my heart All that I've lost in times I was bound It led me here to here In all that I've lost, in love I was found It led me here to here There's no one else that I'd be satisfied waking up beside Every morning of my life And there's no smile that shines so bright That it illuminates my eyes Eclipsing stars within the sky What is this taking over me? I feel it in my heart All that I've lost in times I was bound It led me here to here In all that I've lost, in love I was found It led me here to here Will she stay eternally if I never leave? All that I've lost in times I was bound It led me here to here In all that I've lost, in love I was found It led me here to here

Just Stay 05:01
You seemed so sure of this love that grew within the flames Never to fade You shared your heart with me in ways that I was sure to still remain Never to fade Don't run away Don't throw it in the flames and let it fray Just stay, just stay Don't pull away Just give it time, just give it one more day I pray that someday you will feel the same This is where I say my love won't fade This is where I'll wait My heart will stay for you How could your heart just shift A love that wilts, I thought it'd never change Never to decay You told me love would find a way To trust that God would say to us that this This was meant to be Don't run away Don't leave it in the sand to wash away Just stay, just stay Don't pull away Just give it time, just give it one more day I pray that someday you will feel the same This is where I say my love won't fade This is where I'll wait My heart will stay for you You're running faster still And I I want to know if you will Marry me This is where I say my love won't fade This is where I'll wait My heart will stay for you

Army of Two 03:32
I've been hanging on And I don't know how long Everything slips through my fingers I'm holding on to the past But I believe We could be an army of two Just me and you An army of two Just me and you Been holding on to strings better left frayed And I'm terrified Of this life that I would lead With you in absence It doesn't make sense It never will But I believe We could be an army of two Just me and you An army of two Just me and you Please love, don't turn away Stay here another day So much to lose with so much to gain Just stay We could be an army of two Just me and you An army of two Just me and you

I need you like poison in my veins; a filthy vice And I need you like the sense to carve my heart right out of my chest and never think twice But you’re nowhere to be found You string me along And you may think your heart is profound But you leave messes of their bodies through this town I’ve been hanging by a thread to keep you warm Burned by fire of a woman scorned Light the fuse and run like hell I bid you all fine farewell ’Cause I don’t want to hang around to see it all burn down You’re the estuary of my dreams Quenching thirst and I taste you on my knees But I know if I drink too much I’ll drown Choke on your lies, spill my guts and leave this this town I’m drowning in your eyes My burning lungs are suffocating at the thought of you I idolize and fantasize being inside of you Baptized by fire, I will burn no more I’ve been hanging by a thread to keep you warm Burned by fire of a woman scorned Light the fuse and run like hell I bid you all a fine farewell I need you in my life

Fade 04:57
Home is so lonely without her by side But I try to lift my head Ignore what comes to mind Let go, it's all they say But who are they to know God, what's the point of this I'm not where I belong And it's tearing me apart I feel it in my heart Would it be best if I just fade away? Screaming at the sky I find no reason this path could not be real But she just waves the Book to pass the blame It's just another season But all I feel is rain God, what's the point of this I'm not where I belong When I just want to be the one Who shows her how she should be loved Why, God? Why'd you take it all? And it's tearing me apart I feel it in my heart Would it be best if I just fade away? Caged a heart Plagued a mind Filled with doubt so blind Just reveal Peace of mind God, just let me heal God, what's the point of this I'm not where I belong When I just want to be the one Who shows her how she should be loved Why, God? Why'd you take it all? And it's tearing me apart I feel it in my heart Would it be best if I just fade away?

Blow Away 05:57
Live in my head for just one day I see myself and look away The road is showing now on my face Soon I'll disappear with I'll disappear without a fucking trace Faces that I've seen turn old and gray I've lost too many friends along the way Memories I never thought would fade They fade and Blow Away I wish that I could disappear Unzip my skin and leave it here So I could be no one again And never let nobody I'd let nobody I'd never let nobody in Faces that I've seen turn old and grey I've lost too many friends along the way Memories I never thought would fade They fade and Blow Away So now the walls are closing in Because in life you sink or swim Sometimes these shoes don't feel right in my head Feel like a book that can't be A book that can't be A book that can't be read Faces that I've seen turn old and grey I've lost too many friends along the way Memories I never thought would fade They fade and Blow Away
