1.	Shut 03:59	lyrics	buy track
If I was the hunter I'd catch you with my eyes But they're shut against the lights And I am your prey now You've got to me first And this is where Our roles reverse Don't worry about the blurry fine lines The fire, the passion we found This won't last past us now Darling please don't make that sound Because this will all crash down There is nothing you can do to stop it now Whisper I'll take you there, I'm past my point, don't really care Your words are no more than air I never said I'd be there You give me yours and I'll give you mine Don't worry about the blurry fine lines The fire, the passion we found This won't last past us now Darling please don't make that sound Because this will all crash down There is nothing you can do to stop it now Don't expect me there when the morning comes I was never in this for love And you are no exception to my rule I wouldn't change me for anything about you The fire, the passion we found This won't last past us now Darling please don't make that sound Because this will all crash down There is nothing you can do to stop it now There is nothing you can do to stop me now Because this will all crash down There is nothing you can do to stop me, There's nothing you can do to stop me now Because this will all crash down.
2.	Words Left Unsaid 03:44	lyrics	buy track
What is there to live for, If all this is a lie And why try to love If my love always dies What if in the end my words they were never true There are a lot of ifs and only one of you This animosity is crashing into me The sinking feeling I won’t make it out alive It burns, burns, burns burns, Burns me from the inside. What is there to live for If my love always dies And if I don’t believe my words Cuz they feel like a lie And what if in the end I’m just terrified of you Cuz all the feelings I had before, They really could be true. This animosity is crashing into me The sinking feeling I won’t make it out alive It burns, burns, burns burns, Burns me from the inside. Burns me from the inside, Burns me from the inside… All these words I’ve left unsaid, I’ll lay them out for you Because all these words I’ve never said They, are all true.
3.	My Yesterday 03:17	lyrics	buy track
I could write a thousand words You couldn’t tell me what they mean And I could say a thousand things You still wouldn’t listen to me So don’t walk away Because that’s all you’ve ever done to me Don’t say those things you used to say I am not the same I’ll be the one to walk away And call you my yesterday Your blood runs through my veins It doesn’t mean anything The air is all I’ll breathe I was lost, but now I’m free So don’t walk away Because that’s all you’ve ever done to me Don’t say those things you used to say I am not the same I’ll be the one to walk away And call you my yesterday Call you my yesterday So walk away, because I never want to see your face And don’t say those things you used to say I am not the same I’ll be the one to walk away….
4.	Flash 02:49	lyrics	buy track
The flashes of light bombard like stones No contact ever but reaching To flesh and to bone The pictures don't speak But the thousand words they flow They twist, they turn and continue to go You see them in the magazine, And you can watch them on the big screen Build them up to break them down Flash of the camera You know you can't find Where they hide Constantly waiting for the dreaming to end For their lives to turn normal again They basked in the light, But started to burn It was never meant to take over and hurt You see them in the magazine, And you can watch them on the big screen Build them up to break them down Flash of the camera You know you can't find Where they hide Sometimes it ends quiet and serene, A lifetime away from the light and the screams. Other times the stars fall from the sky Laughed at and ridiculed the passion, dies.
5.	Vanish 04:56	lyrics	buy track
Summer days don't seem so lovely When all the smiles turn away The clouds outside they do seem ugly When all the colour fade to gray Someone told me, That I'd be okay And I don't believe them No I don't believe them CHORUS Visions of my happy hours, They don't come here anymore So what is there to look forward for When I can't see the sunrise Or the sunset at night Cuz everything I took for granted vanished The image vanished. Days roll by like clockwork now Through the motions of yesterdays hours My days end in teary blank eyes Cuz I've lost something deep inside The hope's lost outside Someone told me That I'd be okay And I don't believe them No I don't believe CHORUS And it took more time than I'd like to realize To see with more than just my eyes Cuz I could lose more than what is already lost It time to move, blind eyes move on Visions of my happy hours, They don't come here anymore But I'll remember them forevermore Cuz I can hear the birds chirping at my front door The world didn't vanish Just the image vanished. And someone told me, That I'd be okay And I do believe them Now I believe them
6.	Dekadence 04:24	lyrics	buy track
I doubt myself, over and over again What was it that I was believing in Push, shove, pull apart Give me a reason to believe in What I was dreaming In all high treason I'll break my pen And this tale will come to an end I can't reach the sky. It's much too high I still can't touch the stars There's something in the air That I despair Because I don't care No I don't care Push, shove, pull apart Give me a reason to believe in What I was dreaming In all high treason I'll break my pen And this tale will come to an end It's end. Is it right to crave decadense If happiness doesn't make any sense Is it right to want to feel pain When you haven't felt Anything, anything, anything Anything Anything.
7.	The Rain Song 04:03	lyrics	buy track
Rain doesn't make me feel like it used to It doesn't bring me any kind of solitude It only brings me back to you Its in these moments I know that you're really gone To see you standing there Hands outstretched in the air Dont laugh at me my dear, You're not real Just the spirit of a whisper in my ear Projection of all my lost years Don't hold me near and don't wipe away my tears Because you're not here You're not here Love I lost you long ago Please don't ruin my memories so You frighten all my thoughts away And if you do stay I'll never move on from this place I kept your photograph but please don't stay Don't laugh at me my dear, You're not real Just the spirit of a whisper in my ear Projection of all my lost years Don't hold me near and don't wipe away my tears Because you're not here You're not here I can hear the splash when I tossed you into the lake I'll always swear it was by mistake Your moments are the ones I think of most It doesn't mean you can haunt me like a ghost Like a ghost. Don't laugh at me my dear, You're not real Just the spirit of a whisper in my ear Projection of all my lost years Don't hold me near and don't wipe away my tears Because you're not here You're not here
