An Anchor's Ship

Slowly, it's changing me
all that i've ever known is waiting for me
something is changing inside this self-obtained heart of gold
starting to doubt and repent, so wipe the tears and regret
something has taken me
slowly, it's changing me
all that i've ever known is waiting for me. so give me the answers
so give me what i need so i will never feel low again
so give it to me
if i won't dare think twice to sell myself short...my only goal is to put myself first
so give it to me now, something that i've never felt or seen
before it's over before it started
over and over, i never amounted to anything, sorting reasons to remind myself of better days
forcing me to perform under pressure
giving everything that has ever fallen on to me because i'm willing to reap what i sow for the better
nothing is ever what it seems.
i feel it change me, it gives me what i need so i will never be the same again.

Carry Me Through
03:40
|

I have placed all of my faith into the hands of someone else (someone else)
I don’t want to bleed this dry
place the guilt over my head
There’s a part of me that has died
that you are still keeping under your covers
You saw me lifeless there was nothing that could be done
With nowhere to go, carry me through to the other side
Carry me to the other side
I have lost my way
With broken wings, I fall to the surface
Only so I’ll fall down that hole again
I don’t know if I deserve this
Now you know that I am hollow inside
Now you know I’ve been stuck here in my lowest of lows
Now I’m contemplating things that I would never have known
Bring me to the other side
I hold my hand out to you in desperation
I found closure in the separation
I have found all of this distance could bring us closer together
You could say that I’m going through my darkest of days, I know
Carry me to the other side
I have lost my way
With broken wings, I fall to the surface
Only so I’ll fall down that hole again
I don’t know if I deserve this
Now you know that I am hollow inside
I never knew what this distance could bring
Carry me through to the other side of the world
The World
Carry me through to the other side, other side
I don’t really want to wait for the tides to turn
Show me a place where I can rest my head
Carry me through, Carry me through

Shark Song

Open my eyes, this world is weighing itself down day by day
Will we ever see the sun. Show me a world with the greatest intentions
Because all I see here is a broken time with pointless intentions
I know, it takes time to build yourself
and the roads you take and the mistakes you make all build a better you
Something's telling me to stay
I wouldn't have it any other way
You might see me again some day
I'll be different then
I will learn on my own
I will be better off
I will be better
These eyes have seen better days
But they'll see worse
and I will be prepared
I've been running in circles and it's destroying me
Prepare yourself for when demons come and play
Out come the wolves and here come the sharks
Stand your ground
This is a test, this is the first obstacle
I will learn on my own

A Devil, A Friend
Every time I see your face, I want to fucking watch you suffer
I will bleed you fucking dry for you’ve done to her
Hate doesn’t do justice to what I feel for you
Mark my fucking words, I’ll do what ever I can do to ruin you
Every night i’m facing the same guilt and anger within
keeping you close enough to reap my opportunities
you will hold out your hand for mercy just watch and see
I’ve stolen your hollow crown and what you left behind for me
The way you look at me, What evil changes, just a “price to pay”
I am at a loss for words for what I could possibly say
the worst parts of you, the best parts of me
I’ll erase you
publicly deface you, what a fucking disgrace you are
You lied right to my fucking face
you are the worst piece of shit that I ever have graced
I’ll make damn well sure that you burn in hell
if they don’t choke you to death, I’ll fucking do it myself
She’s been to hell and back, fighting away the hands of death because of you
before you hesitate, no one has deceived you
you can try and prepare yourself, no one will believe you
I will be waiting for your darkest hour
I recognise a snake when I see one
I’m not blind to what you’ve done
because I don’t trust a word you say
You’ll always be waiting for their weakest moment
I just can’t wait
I just can’t wait for your darkest of hours
it’s true, I’ll your “higher” words way down to the ground
I could watch you die
I broke his jaw
that crooked smile
I’ll make you suffer for the girl you’ve defiled
your dirty tongue, your dirty fucking tongue
I will rip it from your face
Every time I see your face, I want to fucking watch you suffer
I will bleed you fucking dry for you’ve done to her
Hate doesn’t do justice to what I feel for you
Mark my fucking words, I’ll do what ever I can do to ruin you
Every night i’m facing the same guilt and anger within
keeping you close enough to reap my opportunities
you will hold out your hand for mercy just watch and see
I’ve stolen your hollow crown and what you left behind for me
I recognise a snake when I see one
I’m not blind to what you’ve done
because I don’t trust a word you say
You’ll always be waiting for their weakest moment
I could watch you die

Composure
03:47
|

Friendly faces in familiar places share the warmest embraces
Head it’s all sung in phrases
I’ve (been) handed a shoulder to wear a smile on my heart (smile on my heart)
Frozen in time, we no longer share the same air
We tread the same terrain with easy hearts
Never to meet in the middle
There’s no safety at all
I’ve been living…
I’ve been living A hollow shell
Connected to what surrounds this feeling
I’ve come as far as I can go
Unable to see the light
I am trying not to let you in
How do I take it seriously?
What the world wouldn’t do for me
Let go of the darkness
That is what they all will say
But how do you fix what’s never complete?
Because I’ve been thinking of all my mistakes
As if it will do anything at all
I’ve (been) handed a shoulder to wear a smile on my heart (smile on my heart)
Frozen in time, we no longer share the same air
We tread the same terrain with easy hearts
Never to meet in the middle
There’s no safety at all
Friendly faces in familiar places share the warmest embraces
Head it’s all sung in phrases
I’ve been living A hollow shell
Connected to what surrounds this feeling
I’ve come as far as I can go
Unable to see the light
I am trying not to let you in
How do I take it seriously?
What the world wouldn’t do for me (the day you left, was the day I lost everything)
Let go of the darkness
That is what they all will say
But how do you fix what’s never complete? (listen to me)
Because I’ve been thinking of all my mistakes

My Health
04:20
|

I’ve dug a hell of a grave
one to fit all this disease
I see the tears in my mother’s eyes
I’d given up on myself, and put my faith into you
in hopes that very decision would bring me somewhere new
I’ve been killing myself for your entertainment
I’ve been killing myself to bring me back to life
I’ve been running in the dark covering my eyes
killing myself for your entertainment
I’m afraid
I’m afraid of what I’ve become
Sinking into a lucid coma
I’ve dug a hell of a grave
one to fit all this disease
I see the tears in my mother’s eyes
I’d given up on myself, and put my faith into you
in hopes that very decision would bring me somewhere new
I look into my future
What I’ve become just might kill me
I’m scared it might kill me
I’m afraid
I’m afraid of what I’ve become
I’m losing my sense of self
I’m losing my sense of self
Killing myself for all of you to see
killing myself for your entertainment
killing myself for your entertainment
nothing ever mattered if I died because I’ve
created a reality where everyone’s a part of me
but only if you believe, well otherwise, you’ll have to see…
I’m afraid
I’m afraid of what I’ve become
Sinking into a lucid coma
I don’t care
I don’t care if it kills me
This is something so much bigger than just me
I’ve created a world where everyone’s a part of me
Control was never lost, I spent too much time searching for my home
When there’s a perfectly good one in front of me that I’ve created

A State Of Shock
03:24
|

Death was waiting, for you only
for your weakest moments
You’ve been chosen
Killed what you could have possibly been
Your story could and should have ended just like that
Your story could and should have ended
I’ve walked in the wrong direction
while keeping sorrows underneath
with every step, will it ever be too much?
all the time
Retribution for the complicated
well-deserved mess
for the complicated
Alone in a room is where you’re meant to be
self vs self, is for internal sight
this soul refuses to let go of the light
Alone in a room is where you’re meant to be
Retribution for the complicated
well-deserved mess
lost so frequent
lost in the precipice
lost so frequent
I’ve walked in the wrong direction
while keeping sorrows underneath
with every step, will it ever be too much?
I’ve been lying
As I slowly descend, I feel nothing
as my body descend into the ground
I am free
I am free
Death was waiting, waiting for you only
for your weakest moments
Killed what you could have possibly been
Your story could and should have ended
I’ve walked in the wrong direction
while keeping sorrows underneath
with every step, will it ever be too much?
all the time

Swimming With Sharks
03:13
|

if you wanted to be the person you wanted to be
what’s holding you back? the other you, probably
that other person analysing every move you make
the voice that tortures you inside over every mistake
if you never wake up, you will never see
what a beautiful world this could fucking be
if you choose to live so selfishly
never expect a handout from them or me
this is a world where you earn what you get
and If you can’t fucking handle it then it won’t mean shit
you see, the world will wait and see if you prove yourself
but they can see through the bullshit, your masquerade won’t help
the truth will set you free
and when it hurts the most, that’s when you know it’s making you stronger
when it hurts the most, that’s when you know that it’s making you stronger
take your bullshit, and fuck off somewhere else, bitch
I’ve spent my time amongst the best and worst
the long road to heaven or shortcuts to my hearse
stupidity can not be fixed
and I won’t waste my time on scumbag pieces of shit

One Foot In The Grey
04:24
|
|||
Please save me, I'm half living
Teach me the ways of the world
Losing sight of what's important, I turn the other cheek
When faced with my prize possession
I freak out, cut and run, never amount to anyone
Why I feel the need to make everything complicated
Crossing rivers and oceans, the best sight of the world in your eyes
When my days are numbered, I give myself a second chance
Take a step back to give you the world
that promise I can keep
I never knew what I had 'till it's gone, I've taken you for granted
You'll never know what you had 'till it's gone
Never again
This heart is beating, one foot in the grey

Across The Pond
04:21
|
|||
This preconceived path to happiness - that I’ve painted in my mind
has now taken shape in every shade - of grey stretched on the canvas
I held my faith in the heart of all my peers,
the passion ignites the highlight of these years
I’ve held so dearly to every fear
Dreams of days across the pond ignites the skies
the fog in my lungs and hope in my eyes
I built this land on the strongest foundations
connected, this is my creation
Bottle up every memory, throw it away
thrown into the water, never to be found
These are the days I will not forget
Stuck in my mind, in a hollow shell
You pull me out of it
Into the world
there is no heaven left to create
We’re all connected (We’re all connected)
there is no heaven left to create
we choose the cycle
we channel these emotions, our man-made disaster
Close my eyes to see, what lies beneath
Bottle up every memory, throw it away
thrown into the water, never to be found
