Behave 05:20
i've thrown you under the bus and it killed the both of us now you're waiting for my call but I'd rather watch you fall my will is changing fast and it's never meant to last so you'll never understand why i'd let go of your hand this is so much less than you deserve never thought I'd ever have the nerve hoping for your poor heart to be saved when everyone can see i can't behave dishonest at best i'll put you to the test and it's only just begun the worst is yet to come this is so much less than you deserve never thought I'd ever have the nerve still waiting for your poor heart to be saved when everyone can see i can't behave
2.
Please 03:55
it took me so long to see that you're vile wasting all those years in love with your smile it took me so long to see i was wrong trying to please the unpleasable so simple it hurts i want everything at once so i'll never be completely happy
3.
wake up dream away i wanna see your morning play dream away i wanna see your morning sway dream away i wanna see your morning pray dream away i wanna see your morning stay wake up now
4.
there is nothing to look into i just want something else you keep wondering why i’m so tense it’s ‘cause i want something else there is nothing underneath it i just want something else and i don’t need no medication i just want something else
5.
Not Enough 05:03
i'm not sorry, it's not enough a misguided soul trying not to fuck it up more than i've already have
6.
Again 04:36
please just one more trophy as i’m reaching for the door your eyes are disapproving yeah you’ve seen it all before let me watch restrained emotions crashing on my empty shores again i remember passion no forgetting, no regrets and no compensation i’d expect you to accept let me waste your precious moments holding all i must reject again
7.
Needle 05:36
just like the needle sliding over black watching decisions getting out of hand i never meant to play the game but i will do it anyway every door i open shuts another three starting to see your point something wrong with me i never meant to play the game but i will do it anyway in face of certainty of something we don't want i look you in the eye and tell another lie i never meant to play the game but i will do it anyway i never meant to play along but it's too late and i'm too wrong
8.
Home 06:40
i know i've done you wrong assuming you were stronger it's time for me to go home though i wish i could stay longer where are you now? where will you be then?

With atmospheric guitars floating merging with aggressive rock beats, they write cathartic songs that speak directly to the lovesick heart. ... more
