Pain, as strong as it's ever been My name reflects all the things I've seen I hurt myself, I'll make my peace once again This fading faith yeah Will fall in line with this decline of a conscious mind This voice as loud as it's ever been It's noise arrested within my dreams I've been waiting for love But when I get it, it's never enough I've been searching my mind But I'm afraid of the sins that I might find Ooo yeah oh Hello? Where are you? I just wanna say I love you and I miss you darling' I just wanna say I love you and I miss you darling' Hello? Where are you? I just wanna say I love you and I miss you darling' I just wanna say I love you and I miss you darling'

Setting Sun 04:20
This life was refined to sacrifice this design I feel again Oh And right before obsession breeds into lust The morning spills incessantly into dust You end where you begin Oh So beloved but wasted for another night They say it's such a long life as I bleed This setting sun has got me living again To blind to believe That this setting sun ain't set me free Oh so come on do it again, do it again, do it again So don't let me stop your wandering (Don't let me stop you won) Cause this moments got me wondering (This moments got me) Before the tide decides to take me down down I will tell myself I'm so beloved but wasted for another night They say it's such a long life as I bleed This setting sun has got me living again To blind to believe That this setting sun ain't set me free yeah This setting sun ain't got me living again ohh So don't let me stop you wondering Cause this moments got me wandering Before the tide decides to take me down down So don't let me stop you wondering Cause this moments got me wandering Before the tide decides to take me down down

Goodbye now I'm gone I've been identified with this voice for far too long This mind never stayed strong Cause I've been carrying the past with me wherever I go And this mind will demand it all and I'll give it all away On and on and round we go on and on and round we go On and on and round we go All the love I'd like to know Circles on the ceilings bring the strength I need Forgiven again and again (On and on and round again) Well I take this ride for a little while yeah (Praying for this thing to end) But now it seems it'll never end I never believed that I could breathe The longest time to hypnotize Forget where I was from On and on and round we go on and on and round we go On and on and round we go All the love I'd like to know Circles on the ceilings bring the strength I need Forgiven again and again I'm forgiven again yeah

Falling 03:20
Not close enough I gotta get it right this time I won't give up When I become identified I had dreamed a secret serenade When I met you Forgotten love I gotta get it right this time No I can't keep on falling This moments taken everything I know And when I can stop from stalling My love will still be with you when I'm gone I can't erase what I have done But I know that I can change Sedate this inner voice to avoid a fleeting thought That's the point of being saved But when it starts to hurt I tend to revert back to those old days I'm not the man I'm meant to be But when this voice starts taking over me This painful moment needs relief and so I can keep on falling This moments taken everything I know And when I can't stop from stalling My love with still be with you when I'm gone No I can't keep on falling This moments taken everything I know And when I can't stop from stalling My love with still be with you when I'm gone Still be with you when I'm gone
5.
Survive 04:20
Going down could it ever be the right time For you to come and heal my pain I'm aligned with these never ending voices They take my name and keep me locked away Once again this voice is gonna plague me Now you are gone I've lost it all And again this poison will decay me Now you are gone I've lost it all I'm alive if only for a little bit I'll survive before I medicate all the fear and pain I've lost myself again I'm alive if only for a little bit I'll survive before I medicate all the fear and pain I've lost myself again If the morning comes I'll meet the sun This love is enough with the moments we lost When the morning comes I'll see the one The faces we find are the ones we define If the morning comes I'll meet the sun This love is enough with the moments we lost When the morning comes I'll see the one The faces we find are the ones we define I'm alive if only for a little bit I'll survive before I medicate all the fear and pain I've lost myself again I'm alive if only for a little bit I'll survive before I medicate all the fear and pain I've lost myself again I've lost myself again

Ghost 04:52
How did I make it so far down this road? Forget all this pain I'll receive all I've sewn And I'll be home, I'll be home I'm coming home to you I'll be home, I'll be home I'm coming home to you By design, alive to lose my mind Cause this thinking never got me anywhere Am I alone am I far from home This pain is my companion everywhere So I'm coming home I'm coming home to you I'll be home I'll be home Saying that you've seen this mind What does it matter when the rest of us are blind To this condition Haven't we been here before? Running circles while a ghost is at the door This mind narrates with my voice And Ima listen again again again again again I don't believe it's my choice But nobody can tell if I'm alive I've taken apart this mind But what does it matter when the rest of us are blind Saying that you've seen this mind What does it matter when the rest of us are blind To this condition Haven't we been here before? Running circles while a ghost is at the door The ghost is at the door
7.
Midnight 04:24
My mind is gone will it ever come back to me Another love I lost never mind these thoughts I feel mmm This moment gone I'm sounding this alarm Before I'm gone for good It didn't take that long for everything I am To fall upon the floor Midnight comes and I'm alone I don't wanna take nobody home but you you Walking through this life alone I just wanna know I'm coming home to you, you This body aligned with a mind Filled with fear as I disappear But I want to be free so I've got to retreat Cause my demise is mesmerized with you Midnight comes and I'm alone I don't wanna take nobody home but you you Walking through this life alone I just wanna know I'm coming home to you, you Midnight comes and I'm alone Walking through this life alone
8.
Collide 03:07
I couldn't understand just why she fell away Haven't I played this hand now I can't run away oh Before the sun Lies pain and hopelessness And when runs inside of me Bring me and I'll collide and absorb my inner mind I'm fading as you come to my rescue oh How can I be strong enough when all my love is gone? And all my wounds are open I used to be so curious now I just medicate Forget all of the pain and love Bring me and I'll collide and absorb my inner mind I'm fading as you come to my rescue oh How could you believe all of the things I said before oh
9.
Deep Below 05:25
Moving frequency through time I'm afraid of what I've seen but it's all in my mind I could fall so far below I can't let go This diamond in the sea But I could never tell what it's meant to be yeah This love is but a game that I've played so many different ways This life lived in a daze when I want you I spend so many days on the edge as I'ma fade away This love is just a faze and I'm done with you Deep below and all around I'm beginning to figure it out This voice so loud My minds been begin Just sedate me to survive To forget that I'm alive All my life against the tide Has led me to believe This love is but a game that I've played so many different ways This life lived in a daze when I want you I spend so many days on the edge as I'ma fade away This love is but a game and I'm done with you Hold me on the floor I'll be wanting more Leave and lock the door Granddad was the type of bloke you didn't mess about with He was a kind natured old man But there was something inside of him Burning away at him He tried hard to keep it under control This desire to escape from inside Sometimes it did escape But very rarely were you a witness to it He said he didn't like to feel these ways Because it caused him pains in his chest like a heart attack And the bile would rise to the front like acid But as he said he couldn't help these things They just escaped like the wind around the corner of a tree Granddad once said to me that he was scared of the dark I didn't understand at the time But now surrounded by light I understand what he meant
10.
Lifeline 05:08
Home reminds me of a life once lived A vessel on its own paid with the price of my mistakes oh no I watched you drift away from me Cause I could never manage this responsibility I've fallen down again so I'll wait for a lifeline To make me forget all I have done I'll take it upon myself again The burden of a lust Couldn't turned me to dust But my heart won't recover from this When can I come home to you And tell you all that I have been through Don't hold me down again And I'll hurt myself the same damn time tomorrow Because it's all I've known to bring me back to you I'll wait for a lifeline To make me forget all I have done I'll take it upon myself again For lack of a better way of doing things oh no oh no You gotta love yourself to love someone I'll wait for a lifeline To make me forget all I have done I'll take it upon myself again For lack of a better way of doing things oh no oh no
