Lyrics: Anthony Burgess
Stalking so sweetly
On a choir disease
Leaving a crossroad
My direction will please
Sit tight, sill waiting
How long is to long
She’s been looking for someone
That’s everything but strong
Different shades of P.E.
Eyes are closed you can’t stay here
Shifting shades of every kind of fear
Crystal clear in every tear
Shedding all your love
On the prowl it’s your game
Yours to hurt for sure
Showing signs of weakness
You’ve never done before
See your wave is forming
Enticing all who stare
You rise up like a good catch
The endings unfair
Drowning in Sunshine
Eyes are closed, you can’t stay here
Shifting shades of every kind of fear
Crystal clear in every tear
Shedding all your love
Elevate my brain and take me to a place that’s far away
Elevate my brain and take me to a place that’s not in pain

Disconnect
03:27
|
|||
Cannot give back
Never to see you
Compass I seem to lack
Mortal words are the ones I keeping
Your cries just unpack
This emptiness is driving me all mad
Sick and tired of washing my old hands
Stories of a fantasy life
That I can't seem to find
Never ending, never giving
Never in my own time
This emptiness is holding my own hand
Healthy and full of this urge to run
Separation...this is holding us back
Disconnection...this is fueling our attack

Blood Runs Dry

Stares in the eve
He walks out the door
She don't like it
But he couldn't care either way
She breaks down and
He can't forgive the past
Walks beside him
To this very day
Blood Runs Dry
He won't go
He doesn't have it i him
To walk away
Would just be giving up
She don't like it
He's between love
He'll just sit there
Pretend everything's okay
Blood Runs Dry
Drying....
Out the door
On to another day
Yesterday's the
One he'll wish to forget
She don't like it
What's to forgive now
He washed his sins in
Things she cannot say
Blood Runs Dr
Stares in the eve
He walks out the door
She don't like it
But he couldn't care either way
She breaks down and
He can't forgive the past
Walks beside him
To this very day
Blood Runs Dry
He won't go
He doesn't have it i him
To walk away
Would just be giving up
She don't like it
He's between love
He'll just sit there
Pretend everything's okay
Blood Runs Dry
Drying....
Out the door
On to another day
Yesterday's the
One he'll wish to forget
She don't like it
What's to forgive now
He washed his sins in
Things she cannot say
Blood Runs Dry

System
03:30
|

Wrote myself a letter
And I found myself a friend
Tired of the lies
There all the same to me
Caught myself thinking
That it’s something that will last
Ignorance is bliss
System to break my system
System
Never thought it was something
That could ever get this bad
So call chief
That doesn’t have a back
Separation of the masses
As a matter of fact
The thing between my ears
They’ll never have
System to break my system
System
Memories...take the time to save
All of them

The Storm
05:24
|
|||
Lost in this anxious mind
Somewhere in between
The dark and the light
You friend don’t look so well
When did we begin to crawl
Begging for a chance
To feel all right in our skin
Cracked, peeled and flaking
::Chorus::
Like a storm on the rise
It’s just wind in the eye
Could stop to take in the smile
Pleased to wait in pain for a while
Stolen from us to soon, too bad
The voice to aid in the healing
Now we’ll wait in mourning
Look to the sky

Not Alone
04:48
|
|||
Focused on a path
Set the finish line
And in between we roam
Thirst has overrun
Tired and full of thought
Happy to lay my head at home
Can not face the past
Can not face the end
Much to soon to conclude
Shouldn’t of been alone
Could of held your hand at least
Can not face it
Can not face the way I ran
Studied all your ways
Let the fear consume
Sacred to this day
Like this time we shared
Could of followed you
How come you weren’t scared

The Groove
03:45
|

Feel the way we’re meant to groove
Let the music take all night
Let’s sit back and get our mood together
Til the morning is alright
Yes I know it
Yeah we feels right
Together we can
Set the mood tonight
Can’t explain it
Let’s get together
The timing couldn’t be any better
Search around to
Find this groove together
Walk around til we get it right
Maybe you could
Reach out to our maker
Left to watch by your side

Last Mistake
03:52
|
|||
Looking out the window
It’s cold and it raining
A stormy nights
Just begun
Gets his keys and coat on
Hairs a mess But so is
Every thought
In his mind
A long drive to heal the beatings
A long road to find a meaning
This isn’t close to over now
Don’t know where he’s going
Drifting on a long and
Windy road
Loses touch
Car lights are blinking
Smoke and the smell of
Life that’s just
Come to an end
A light but can’t explain it
Can’t go back to ever change it
In his soul he knows it’s over now
Mistake.....heartbreak....he’d given up....you know the game...
Live fast....he’s just hanging on...hangin on....he gone....this time.

Stay a Little While
05:55
|
|||
Taken back
By your stalking game
Can’t go on
Acting insane
How’d we get
To this stage
Your out front
This rage
Just a quiet stare
Fade into a maze
Stay a little while
Master of your craze
I’m not your show
Acting out
Why you so selfish
I can’t be yours
When you think I’m theirs
Stolen piece
Of my property
Right it yours
Delirious
Crazy little stare
Right into your madness
Stay a little while
In your way of sadness
Life’s not a show
There’s an end
We’re not immortal
Here
