Intro 01:47
You stood too close to the current, it pushed you away Every star you've plucked out from the night sky, is dimmer each day Is this this the life that you wanted You're just out of reach the years and the smoke, have added weight on your lungs It's harder to breathe. Every passing love is a chance you take Another step closer to another mistake
2.
Latched 02:39
The things we did a while ago I still keep track though I'm just dropping stones On the already heavy load On your back You took all you wanted, but those things that you have I want back Really, did you think that you could get away I'm never, I'm never going to be the same I'm not okay I've been scouring the cracks that you left when you left me unlatched Now the best parts of me Are pouring out on to the floor Though I've tried my best to ignore all the rest and implore
3.
Alone 03:21
I could muster up the courage To give you time you needed The lie you deserved And you said "Don't make me into just another song" I said, I'm sorry I haven't learned anything at all And you'll be happy Till' I leave And I've started to think its alright I'm rarely equipped to cope And it's harder to breathe Every day and every night I try to fix what's broken I, Try to picture you alone I'll stay away, hide in plain sight I'll take what's left and make it mine I'll try to picture you alone I was never a true poet That one was always you And there was love in every moment But love, I never knew I live life for the moments Like when you call me half drunk And half asleep
4.
Blame 02:21
Twenty-seven days and I told you exactly what would happen And it happened in the same way I started driving at night And if I'd get stopped Still driving there the next day I need you, I'm not all here And I'll give up my soul If you just stay near You started writing words upon my skin Not with blood but pen And I am starting to retrace all the lines myself Because if I get lost then I'm alone

Kane's song 03:05
When I close my eyes and drift off to sleep It hurts me to know you're living In someone else's dreams While I fantasize about my life out there It hurts me to know you're living yours Although I don't know where Can't count the faces I've seen you in Every long night drive to places that I swear you've been I think I, in a while I'll start to think of something else Chase my demons down like animals Skin them and wear their pelts And i will coat myself in all my fears And think of every single year That I have tried and failed to be someone else Can't count the faces I've seen you in Every long night drive to places that I swear you've been Its just the feeling here, its just to close to you I tried to write something different but it all fell through
6.
Messhead 03:42
I stopped taking my meds And I can recall Everything that happened while i was off I saw some things I shouldn't see I heard it all not happening I asked for forgiveness Forgiveness from this sin Her name was soft and sweet Like some kind of ecstasy I thought maybe I could be of some help Maybe I'd convince myself I asked for forgiveness Forgiveness from this sin I asked for forgiveness That you would absolve my righteousness There is more to life than just to sink And drown oneself in endless drink
7.
Shannon 04:40
Dying again Tell me again how to count to ten When I'm trying to breathe because when I look around at the people surrounding I don't like what I see Woke up late in bed last night and stuttered at the thoughts That went through my mind I was trying to remember her name, but I couldn't recall I took my licks and my lashes When I thought about the passages I wrote half awake When you took your safe passage away To a land where you're softly forgiven You don't have to think about the times you cried just to live And I'm sorry I send messages every other day Just to ask you how it's been And what it's like being so far away I just can't seem to fathom A place where you don't have to cry I'll be leaving Friday afternoon I'll be living somewhere far away from you You can still call if you'd like Even if I will only remind you of what you hate most in life Shannon, Shay Whatever they call you now I need you to know That soon I'll be moving out I hope that you're happy I hope that you're all safe and sound
8.
Suffocate 02:06
Suffocate me I want to be, unable to breathe And cover my body, don't miss a spot I want my neck gripped tight, I want my arms to feel like They're getting tired from holding someone up all night I want a tremble down my spine When I go to sleep tonight I'll probably dream up somebody To make me feel alright We'll probably make love under the stars And I won't feel a thing I need suffocation Dear God I need someone Because I'm getting restless And I'm coming undone
