Down Forward, Down Forward, Triple Punch 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Down Forward, Down Forward, Triple Punch Like a deer in the headlights You have been caught out Far too concerned With the greener grass on the other side Then suddenly you hear The footsteps drawing near With nowhere to hide You’re out of time So you run Runway runaway, wandering so aimlessly This is your night, what are you waiting for? We walk this lonely path right by your side You and your gun, waiting for the night You’re staring down, staring down, stare down the sight at me Choose your words carefully It’s time for this to end Out in the cold, our bodies shaking Lost in the shadows, as we grow numb Forever waiting, this choice won’t fade away Suppress your fears now It’s never easy to break free and face the truth There’s nothing left to loose Save me I pray Save me I pray Gather your thoughts from within Make your escape from this sin Free yourself

Your Last Request 04:17
lyrics

Your Last Request I feel the weight of life Pulling me down, pulling me down With gravity I fall Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run Take the wheel tonight and give me some direction These walls collapse around me Crumbling at my feet I close my eyes As I release my doubts in mind Hoping that I will find Something to live for What do we live for? Don’t wait for the right time Our lives are so impatient Time won’t wait for you Make this is your last request All the lies we are the cause of All the crime we are a part of We sing for tomorrow We tend to criticise The things that we don’t understand Don’t give into these simple things Don’t give into these feeble trends All the lies we are the cause of All the crime we are a part of We sing for tomorrow

It's OK Pluto, I'm not a Planet either 02:48
lyrics

It’s OK Pluto I’m not a planet either Dropping names just to get some attention Sell your self-respect for a taste of success This scene has become the fashion This song shall be the parade Always searching without Ever knowing what we’re longing for Can we pretend the future’s now And who are we to question What has been written, we stand only so we can fall Can you feel it? Burning tonight We are always calling for you So have you found the answers for, these inquisitions? So have you found the answers for? We are, we are On our way These dreams we chase are drifting further away With each passing day Tell me who will decide our destination If this is what you want then make it yours Can you feel it? Burning tonight We are always calling for you So have you found the answers for, these inquisitions? So have you found the answers for? We are, we are Burning tonight We are always screaming for you So have you found what you’ve been searching for? So have you found yourself? We are, we are On our way

Violent Words with Violent Ends 04:24
lyrics

Violent words with violent ends Speak now or forever hold your breath I have lingered for so long in my bitterness Choruses echo in the halls of our minds We turn our backs to leave it all behind And now you’re bound to the weight of your decisions These violent words often have violent ends Violent words often have violent ends So we bury ourselves to just break away, from the suffering Inflictions will tell what these scars will not say, this silence deafens me Can you hear their voices whispering? The awful things they’ve heard about you Although it’s not the truth it’s entertaining So just let the serpents with their wicked tongues Slither off and have their fun As their cigarettes bring them to their death So we bury ourselves to just break away, from the suffering Inflictions will tell what these scars will not say, this silence deafens me Just take your time What have we become? Hate fills your eyes You’ve taken away everything But here I stand

Song without a name (for a girl without shame) 05:16
lyrics

A song without a name (for a girl without shame) I’m letting go, I’m letting go Of all the things that used to Keep me awake I’m letting go, I’m letting go Of all the memories of you Take all your things And leave this place Let’s break it down Into words that we can sing This might just be the only way My thoughts will ever reach you Burn this false hope I never thought that you Could turn your back on what we had And now I’m running just to Find myself underneath the wreckage, somehow As I break out of this mental prison, I am free Tell me you’ll stay If only for tonight My eyes are sore from all these tears There’s nothing left inside of here Know what you did Was so relentless And I won’t forgive so easily When you come crawling back to me I pray for just one day, Oh God Please let me escape This is far too great for me to face alone So if you think you’re happy Then darling, why do you so often reassure yourself? I know these words will break you Don’t confuse yourself They’re most certainly about you At least I know, this song will be my victory This is my victory No more will I wait To see you create This truth in your eyes I see your disguise Hold on, nothing will ever change Hold on, these memories still remain Did you realise you’ve been fooled all this time Now I am free we’re moving forward Now I can breathe we’re falling head first To the ground
