Destroy
03:51

Fear is my success
Crumble in my hands of stone
In my dreams I put it to rest
But my nightmares continue to grow
I look away, look away
And spend the rest of my days regretting
I find a way to ruin
Ruin all I pray for
If its good for me, for me
I will destroy it
If its good for me
I will destroy
If its good for me, for me
I will destroy it
If its good for me
I will destroy
Destroy
Didn't know what I had
Saddest part as that I never will
I just want to go back
Just a matter of time until
I look away, look away
And spend the rest of my days regretting
I find a way to ruin
What I worked so hard for
If its good for me, for me
I will destroy it
If its good for me
I will destroy
If its good for me, for me
I will destroy it
If its good for me
I will destroy
Destroy

This Is It

This is it
The final chapter of my story
This is it
My last chance to capture glory
I know only what I know
And my window's coming to close
This is it
Down to my last breath
This is it
Spend my days counting them
I know only what I know
Though I've tried so hard
I have nothing to show
Hey, hey
This is the point of no return
Hey, hey
And no my back begins to burn
Hey, hey
How everything has to lead to this like one last kiss
This is it
I realize I've become my poster
This is it
Never before have I been closer
I know myself enough to know
When the darkness comes in too close
Hey, hey
This is the point of no return
Hey, hey
And no my back begins to burn
Hey, hey
How everything has to lead to this like one last kiss
I had a vision
Now its melting on ice
Got me conditioned to think twice
Greater than a muse
It was my vice
Now my dreams are just
Melting on ice
Hey, hey
This is the point of no return
Hey, hey
And no my back begins to burn
Hey, hey
How everything has to lead to this like one last kiss

Caveman
04:09
|

LYRICS
I've worn this tie
My whole damn life
Even when I was a baby
And its not by choice
Cause I don't have a voice
In a world built on maybes
Lets start all over again
All over again
Kill the lights
Leave behind the sleepless nights
All over again
Do the Caveman
I want to hunt
Where life and death confront
Be face to face with my soul
And I want to pray
In my own way
Not what you force down my throat
Lets start all over again
All over again
Kill the lights
Leave behind the sleepless nights
All over again
Do the Caveman

LYRICS:
Yo ho ho
Hey hey
Yo ho ho
Hey hey
Lost in the ocean
My broken compass keeps me
Lost in the ocean
Now the angry clouds roll my way
They roll my way
Black swans and pirate songs
Could this be the end
Oh my God I can't hold on
This must be the end
My love
I'll be with you above
Yo ho ho
Hey hey
Yo ho ho
Hey hey
Lost in the ocean
Are the stories that I tell
Lost in the ocean
I only hope they find you well
I hope they find you well
Black swans and pirate songs
Could this be the end
Oh my God I can't hold on
This must be the end
My love
I'll be with you above
Yo ho ho
Hey hey
Yo ho ho
Hey hey
Black swans and pirate songs
Black swans and pirate songs
Could this be the end
Oh my God I can't hold on
This must be the end
My love
I'll be with you above
Yo ho ho
Hey hey
Yo ho ho
Hey hey

LYRICS
Dangerous
Dangerous
You know I am
Dangerous
My kind of party
Is a party of one
Don't try to find me
Cause there's nowhere I belong
You found the sorrow
You fear tomorrow
Don't try to stop me
Cause I don't play along
Dangerous
Dangerous
You know I am
Dangerous
Work for the weakness
Cause the weakness has won
Nothing between us
But the beat of this song
Found by the hunter
He gave me shelter
And now the hungry
Hyenas sing along
Dangerous
Dangerous
You know I am
Dangerous

Erase Me
05:03
|
|||
LYRICS
You can tune my out
Mute every word I say
You can write me off
You're okay to push me away
It pulls my strings apart
How you're okay leaving me in the dark
So much easier for you
Than it is for me
Why is it easier for you
When we don't speak
You erase me
You have stopped my heart
Tattooed from the start
Like a frustrated piece of art
You're tearing me apart
Act like our memories seize to exist
Yet I carry them on my wrist
So much easier for you
Than it is for me
Why is it easier for you
When we don't speak
You erase me

Good Enough
03:39
|

I play until I bleed
My voice box ripping out of me
My graveyard of broken dreams
Drifts alone in the galaxy
But I'm older now, older now
And there's not much left to go around
I never found my sound
If no one ever hears me
Does it mean I never existed?
Silence
Silence in my eyes
Wonder why I'm less than good enough
Keeps me up at night screaming, "Why am I not good enough?"
All my memories grew up to be nobody
And it makes me feel
Like I'm never gonna be good enough
I do it all to please
But I come up short to satisfy
So much so that it seems
My soul moved on and kept the key
Its colder now, colder now
Cause I have no heat to keep me warm
Keep me from myself
The worst kind of pressure
Is always being measured
Silence
Silence in my eyes
Wonder why I'm less than good enough
Keeps me up at night screaming, "Why am I not good enough?"
All my memories grew up to be nobody
And it makes me feel
Like I'm never gonna be good enough
Never high enough
Never low enough
Now I'm not young enough
No longer have the stuff
I'm horrible at bluffing
Can't fake my making
The only thing I had mistaken
Is what I had for the taking
My skin is breaking
My bones are shaking
I'm just another poor boy
With dreams of smoke
Silence in my eyes
Wonder why I'm less than good enough
Keeps me up at night screaming, "Why am I not good enough?"
All my memories grew up to be nobody
And it makes me feel
Like I'm never gonna be good enough
Never gonna be good enough
Never gonna be good enough
Why am I not good enough
I just want to be

LYRICS
Once my memories
Grab their things and leave me
Will you remember me?
Did I make you proud?
No we don't have a lot of time
No we don't have a lot of time
Days turn to years overnight
How do I know if I'm living them right?
Once the oxygen
Empties out completely
Will I be afraid?
Will I be alone?
No we don't have a lot of time
No we don't have a lot of time
Days turn to years overnight
How do I know if I'm living them right?

Come on Sunshine
04:22
|

LYRICS
Please audience rate me a satisfactory
I'm not blind enough to see
Sometimes I wish I was made in a factory
So I could love like a machine
Time moves like a robot
And I know I'm less than free
Voices of choices
Everybody's spitting out poisons
I just want to rejoice this
But I find it so hard to find
Voices of choices
All I hear is white noises
My brain has no map that I can exploit
And my heart always tries to rhyme
Come on sunshine
Come on sunshine
Shine a little light from me
So I can find
So I can find
What it is I'm looking for
Come on sunshine
Some people seem to float around happily
I think too much to be
But to be too much means I am such
Give me a break Socrates
Time moves like a robot
And I know I'm less than free
Voices of choices
Everybody's spitting out poisons
I just want to rejoice this
But I find it so hard to find
Voices of choices
All I hear is white noises
My brain has no map that I can exploit
And my heart always tries to rhyme
Come on sunshine
Come on sunshine
Shine a little light from me
So I can find
So I can find
What it is I'm looking for
Come on sunshine

Nostalgia Cement

LYRICS
Awake till three
Watching the tele
Feet feel like jelly
Without hands running through my hair
I can't dismember
Now from last November
How I cannot repeat
Syndications in my stare
I do not dare
Oh how I wonder why
It all came to an end
The best years of my life
I cannot pretend
So real I can feel
I swear I smell your scent
You never left my mind
Nostalgia cement
Nostalgia cement
I want to grab it
Grab it like a habit
Habit till I have it
These frozen memories I bare
And they don't share
With now or never
Yes you bet they're clever
And they decide the moons and the air
Its so unfair
Oh how I wonder why
It all came to an end
The best years of my life
I cannot pretend
So real I can feel
I swear I smell your scent
You never left my mind
Nostalgia cement
Nostalgia cement

Forever
04:24

DNA don't lie but it doesn't tell the soul
We were the same till you flew from the Goldilocks Zone
There are moments I catch a twinkle in my eye
That's how I know somewhere in there you're still alive
But you were gone, gone, gone
Before I could say goodbye
And all I have are memories
To fill in the voids of time
Forever I'll look up to
(I'll look up to you)
Forever you'll be my hero
(Hero)
Where did you go?
You left without leaving a note
I try to find you somewhere between here and smoke
You are so brave in the face of all that's unknown
But now I'm so scared
I lost the only way to find home
But you were gone, gone, gone
Before I could say goodbye
And all I have are memories
To fill in the voids of time
Forever I'll look up to
(I'll look up to you)
Forever you'll be my hero
(Hero)

Sing the Blues
03:04
|

Not a lotta people bring up
What keeps them down
Got a lotta smoke in the air
Up to the ground
If I can not sing the blues
What am I supposed to do?
An eagle with no purpose
Will not take to flight
Feel a little worthless when I
Open my eyes
If I can not sing the blues
What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do?
If I can not sing the blues
What am I supposed to do?
Bring it down
I've got no way to
Bleed my worries out
I've got no stage to
Scream my feelings out
And when the moon comes
I will be the last
To be without
To be without
If I can not sing
If I can not sing
If I can not sing the blues
What am I supposed to do?

LYRICS
I have you
You have me
But Pretty Owl's got family
I'll come for you
Wait for me
Cause my mind's on the hierarchy
My sweet Pine Leaf
Is climbing up a tree
She's climbing up a tree
Cause of me
Now I morn for eternity
What have I done?
How selfish of me
I'll never be the same
For the rest of my life
Cause the image of you
Is tattooed in my mind
My sweet Pine Leaf
Is crawling through a tree
She's crawling through a tree
Cause of me
My sweet Pine Leaf
Is falling from a tree
She's falling from a tree
My sweet Pine Leaf
Is falling from a tree
She's falling from a tree
She's falling from a tree
Cause of me
Cause of me
Cause of me
Cause of me
My sweet Pine Leaf
Is hanging from a tree
She's hanging from a tree
My sweet Pine Leaf
Is hanging from a tree
She's hanging from a tree
She's hanging from a tree
Cause of me
Me

Dance with Me
04:45
|

LYRICS
I've been away for so long
I don't remember if these hands are mine
I've been wondering how long
The silence will bite my tongue
I've been away for so long
Where did my name originate from?
It started with a run
At night time
And you on my mind
Why couldn't it pass?
Now I'm always looking back
And digging for clues
Oh how I might of missed a few
All that I built
Abandoned overnight for you
What a stupid thing to do
Dance with me, dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me
My steps are fragile don't you
Play with me, play with me
My World will crumble if you
Crush on me, crush on me
I tend to stumble don't you
Toy with me, toy with me
And watch me unwind
Was it a dream
Maybe a seed
Someone planted in my mind
To sabotage me from myself
On my own dime
Committed a heinous crime
Throw away my greatest love
Without a care in my blood
I should've known, I should've said
You have no place in my head
The more I fought
The greater it grew
The more I became stuck on you
And before I knew it
I ran right through it
Shattering all that mattered
Staggering to a pattern
Scattered, bruised and battered
Dance with me, dance with me
My steps are fragile don't you
Play with me, play with me
My World will crumble if you
Crush on me, crush on me
I tend to stumble don't you
Toy with me, toy with me
And watch me unwind
Me unwind
Me unwind
And watch me unwind
Me unwind
Me unwind
And watch me unwind
Me unwind
Me unwind
And watch me unwind
Me unwind
Me unwind
And watch me unwind
Unwind
Unwind
Unwind

Can't Stop My Crawl
03:09
|

LYRICS
Night is darkest when I'm awake
Radio play my mistakes
Got that feeling I adopted somewhere
Between Venice and Heaven's Gate
All that's left are fractions of me
Denominated by memories
If my younger self saw me like this
He would think this is some kind of trick
My levels fall
Its in my blood after all
Can't stop my crawl
Got a feeling I don't exist
Without pen, paper and a stereo twist
Could it be that I have become
The very thing that makes me sick
Commandeer on my own ship
No one's left but middle aged me
I forgot how to steer and I fear
I'm drifted out to sea
My levels fall
Its in my blood after all
Can't stop my crawl

LYRICS
Made many promises
You kept none of them
Made me think you cared for me
Now I beg for sympathy
Now I beg for sympathy
Ride with me higher
Ride with me higher
Ride with me higher
Ride with me higher
Yellow spots over my skin
You let disease in
Even though we are a few
I will bury you
I will bury you
Ride with me higher
Ride with me higher
Ride with me higher
Ride with me higher

Days turn to years overnight
(Overnight)
How do I know if I'm living them right?
(Am I living them right?)
If I spend my days and my years looking back
(Looking back)
I know I'll never find myself moving on
(Moving on)
I have complicated
The simplest of emotions
Reached every corner of my mind
Future staring at my back
When I blink my
Days turn to years overnight
How do I
How do I know if I'm living them right?
If I spend my
Days and my years looking back
I know I'll
Never find myself moving on
I won't
I know
I must learn
To let go
Let go
Tomorrow's coming soon
I hope the Sun will great me
As I long to be at peace
And move on where I can
Tomorrow's coming soon
Will it make me happy?
As I hope to make you proud
I only want to make you proud

May Moons Ago
03:16
|

LYRICS
Many moons ago
I left my hometown
Many moons ago
To find my own sound
That boy is long gone
You wouldn't recognize the man
I have become
With many moons at hand
Only Father Time can tell
What's in Mother Nature's spell
Only Father Time can share
Who will Mother Nature spare
I remember hoping for a miracle
Please come back to me
Many moons ago
I was on my path
Many moons ago
Without turning back
Then came the hurricane
It all seemed to go black
When I came to
Many moons had passed
Only Father Time can tell
What's in Mother Nature's spell
Only Father Time can share
Who will Mother Nature spare
I remember hoping for a miracle
Please come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Many moons ago
I could pretend
Many moons ago
To hold your hand again
When I look up at the stars
I wonder if they know how
My story will end
Many moons from now
