I still recall the taste of your tears
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore Scraping through my head 'till I don't want to sleep anymore Come on tell me Make this all go away You make this all go away I'm down to just one thing And I'm starting to scare myself Make this all go away You make this all go way I just want something I just want something I can never have You always were the one to show me how Back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now This is slowly taking me apart Grey would be the color if I had a heart I just want something I can never have In this place it seems like such a shame Though it all looks different now, I know it's still the same Everywhere I look you're all I see Just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be Come on tell me Make this all go away You make this all go away I'm down to just one thing And I'm starting to scare myself Make this all go away You make this all go way I just want something I just want something I can never have I just want something I can never have Think I know what you meant That night on my bed Still picking at this scab I wish you were dead You sweet and Perry Ellis Just stains on my sheets 02. Adrift And At Peace
[Instrumental]
03. The Fragile
She shines
In a world full of ugliness She matters when everything is meaningless Fragile She doesn't see her beauty She tries to get away Sometimes It's just that nothing seems worth saving I can't watch her slip away I won't let you fall apart She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by Hoping someone can see If I could fix myself I'd - But it's too late for me I won't let you fall apart We'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side ...but they keep waiting ...and picking... It's something I have to do I was there, too Before everything else I was like you 04. The Becoming
I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me
I'm stuck in this dream it's changing me I am becoming The me the you know he had some second thoughts He's covered with scabs he is broken and sore The me that you know he doesn't come around much That part of me isn't here anymore All pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry Drowns out all I hear no escape from this my new consciousness The me that you know he used to have feelings But the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay The me that you know is now made up of wires And even when I'm right with you I'm so far away I can try to get away but I've strapped myself in I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears I can see it killing away all of my bad parts I don't want to listen but it's all to clear Hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away It wont give up it wants me dead Goddamn this noise inside my head 05. Gone, Still
[Instrumental]
06. The Day The World Went Away
I'd listen to the words he'd say
In his voice I heard decay The plastic face forced to portray All the insides left cold and gray There is a place that still remains It eats the fear, it eats the pain The sweetest price he'll have to pay The day the whole world went away Na na nah Na na na, nah Na na nah Na na na, nah 07. And All That Could Have Been
Breeze still carries the sound
Maybe I'll disappear Tracks will fade in the snow You won't find me here Ice is starting to form Ending what had begun I am locked in my head With what I've done I know you tried to rescue me Didn't let anyone get in Left with a trace of all that was And all that could have been Please Take this And run far away Far away from me I am Tainted The two of us We're never meant to be All these Pieces And promises and left behinds If only I could see In my Nothing You meant everything Everything to me Gone fading everything And all that could have been Please Take this And run far away Far as you can see I am Tainted And happiness and peace of mind We're never meant for me All these Pieces And promises and left behinds If only I could see In my Nothing You meant everything Everything to me 08. The Persistence Of Loss
[Instrumental]
09. Leaving Hope
[Instrumental]
