Not Yet 03:45
Verse: I know what I'm supposed to do I'm just lazy Outside the sun will shine But in my mind it's hazy So I continue to breathe another day Don't need to wonder what to do I'll slave away Chorus: It's okay with me Your marionette, your pet Dancing snake in a basket case Bitten by your own rat Lost the race to win, I'll guess again Who is my enemy from friend It's okay with me, I'll fade away from here

Heavy 04:37
Verse 1: Another picture Ripped apart and lying on the floor I hear the screaming Followed by the slamming of the door I lost connection Yearning so I reach for something more I need something else 'Cause I don't know what I am living for Chorus 1: I can't feel my bones The weight of a thousand headstones I ache but I'm going numb The burn of a thousand suns Verse 2: Loss of balance Insecurity has taken hold Blood is pumping warm But doesn't keep my heart from feeling cold It's getting so old Pretending I am someone I am not My soul is not sold It is mine and it is all that I've got Chorus 2: Time has really flown The weight of a thousand headstones Will thy kingdom come? The burn of a thousand suns

Candle 05:41
Verse 1: I wish I was brave I wish I could dream out loud I'd dream of a sunrise Instead of this black cloud 'Cause it's it's creeping closer It looms over me every day I wish I could unzip my skin and just walk away Chorus 1: When will my flame ignite? Desperate to see the light Shine over me Verse 2: I sit in this cave It's dark and there's no one around I reach for a candle In hopes it will show the way out I pick it up slowly And tighten my grip as I pray But as I looked closer, the wick had all been burned away Chorus 2: When will my flame ignite? Desperate to see the light When will my flame ignite? What color is the light? I don't care, please shine over me

Gray 04:10
Verse 1: A new day is rising The sun is kissing my face I open my eyes And realize I'm still chained to this place And I feel the wind It is blowing from the east And she is a beauty And I'm just a beast Chorus: So take everything Take it all away 'Cause I'm not one two three four, five six and seven eight nine and ten shades of gray And I feel the burns In the back of my eyes 'Cause I'm sore and I'm bored and I'm so sick and tired Of pretty truths being bold lies In disguise... Verse 2: I remember the feeling Of feeling how normal must feel I've heard voices tell me What I thought wasn't real And I feel the wind It's still blowing from the east And she's still a beauty And I'm just a beast

Mirage 04:44
Verse 1: What could I do? What could I say? All of my days I now wish away 'til the next time I will see her again She comes and she goes Like night and the day She is a moment keeps blowing away with the wind Chorus 1: I know I'll be played so I'll patiently wait on the sideline Waiting my turn I'll just stand here and burn, wasting my time Negotiate with this love that I hate When will I learn? Verse 2: No words describe all these things that I feel I fell for a mirage that could never be real But all that I know Is what I would do To swim in your mind and then I'll drown in you Chorus 2: I am displaced as I'm floating through space in your vortex I'm left confused, well at least you're amused. This is complex I know I should quit, well the sheer thought of it leaves me perplexed
6.
Verse 1: Fly away from the sun Trade the knife for the gun Chorus 1: Oh, how clever you've become Zero will always equal none Verse 2: Crash and burn into the sea Ashes belong to the trees Chorus 2: Rays have melted your wax wings Self righteous wisdom will sting Outro: Fly away from the sun Fly far away from the sun Fly away from the sun
