The Rising 03:09
lyrics
My dreams have become a reality, despite all that you do to me My hopes and dreams are shattered now, lying broken on the ground Now look what they have done to me, they take it all away from me They take it all but I’m not giving These radio waves, they drive me insane Just what should I say, now what should I do And now you’ve started down another road, the way to me is closed, the way is locked and broken, bruised and scarred My dreams have become this reality, despite all that I do to me My hopes and dreams are shattered lying broken on the ground These radio waves, they drive me insane Just what should I say, now what should I do

Halo 04:10
lyrics
Shout out you love me, shout out you care, shout out you need me and you know I’ll be there This song I am singing, I wrote it for you, this song I am singing you know it is true Your halo, your halo, it’s falling down Shout out you miss me, should I really care, shout out you feel me and you know I’ll be there This song I am singing, I wrote it for you, this song I am singing you know it is true And over and over and over again, I hear you calling out, begin at the end I need to feel, I need to hear, I need to breath I need you here I fear the cold, I fear the dark, I fear it closing in Your halo, your halo, it’s falling down Your halo’s down, on the ground, look around you What do you see, oh it seems to me what will be, will be We’ll follow down, without a sound, nothing to show that you were around here My dear, get down on your knees and pray for the end Your halo, your halo, it’s falling down

Burning Up 03:12
lyrics
And the stain begins to spread, her eyes have turned all red There’s a fire that burns inside, she’s been trying so hard to hide Her lips are turning blue, I think she won’t pull through There’s a fire that burns inside, she’s been trying so hard to hide Tell me something new, tell it to the few Who crowd the aisle just to hear your voice again Apocalypse is here, hold me tight my dear Today's the day the world will end did I forget to say And the stain begins to spread, her eyes have turned all red There’s a fire that burns inside, she’s been trying so hard to hide Her lips are turning blue, I think she won’t pull through There’s a fire that burns inside, she’s been trying so hard to hide Tell me something new, tell it to the few Who crowd the aisle just to hear your voice again Apocalypse is here, hold me tight my dear Today's the day the world will end did I forget to say

Loneliness the Star 04:06
lyrics
Been waiting alone for you all day, been waiting for you to calm down Been making my face look brave all day, been wishing that you would go away The loneliest part of being alone, is knowing no one is there for you The hardest part of staying alive, is through it all we survive I killed you in my head only today, your blood it washed the pain away But still an outline of you it remains, an outline forever may you stay The loneliest part of being alone, is knowing no one is there for you The hardest part of staying alive, is through it all we survive The clouds they opened up for me, they do cos I want them to The emptiness it slowly disappears, over years and years and years I can't remember what you're called, I don’t know you anymore The pain it went away last week, to where I don’t know The loneliest part of being alone, is knowing no one is there for you The hardest part of staying alive, is through it all we survive

Medicaided 03:24
lyrics
Enjoy the ride that the medication provides you Hello, how are you, I’m fine just a little sedated You’ve got 6 months left to go, in 6 month we both will know This is the end of the world as we know it I am dumb and I am blind, I’m always the one who’s left behind And I cannot find a way to express myself to you today If you seek then you shall find, you’ll always be just one of a kind And I cannot find a way to express myself to you today There’s 3 months left to go, in 3 months I know Repeat to fade away For 36 years I’ve been trying, to find someone or something to confide in, now The skies are grey and I’m always cold now, you have to go come on be strong some how This is the end as far as we go, the light is fading fast, and now I know I am dumb and I am blind, I’m always the one who’s left behind And I cannot find a way to express myself to you today If you seek then you shall find, you’ll always be just one of a kind And I cannot find a way to express myself to you today

The End 04:50
lyrics
Today my world it ended and you never noticed at all The sun went out and all the buildings came, crashing down around When you close your eyes what do you see, do you feel at all? Lost in dreams, away from this, unable to breath Why do I worry about the world and everybody but myself This tank is empty, we’re going down, I’ll see you my sweet friend My world it ended yesterday but no one cared at all Open your arms I’m coming home, I‘ll see you at the end No one worried and no one cared, no one took the pain and shared Why should I start caring now I know your face and I know your smell, I know you now and I knew you well Be here now or do not be at all It’s at times like these I wish I could cry, open up, for god sake try Tonight we survive Why do I worry about the world and everybody but myself This tank is empty, we’re going down, I’ll see you my sweet friend My world it ended yesterday but no one cared at all Open your arms I’m coming home, I‘ll see you at the end

When We Two Parted 03:56
lyrics
I sold my soul to the women on the corner of my street She showed me many things, best left unsaid To be the one that she chose, I guess that was quite an honour But I’d be the last one, to ever see her I knew I shouldn’t be there, she knew she had me scared It’s at times like these that I wish, I wish I had the strength to need her I was thinking of life in a way that makes me evil The judge labelled me a fool and I guess I think I believed him And in the end I guess it makes me your devil Sticks and stones may break my bones but I’m still here She placed the gun in my hands, she lay across the bed Said that she had no regrets, look who’s dead And so our story it ends in tears, what a waste what a way It’s at times like these you wish you were not real, or so you say Close your eyes look to the sky, there’s a brighter day for you Times goes by so you know that it’s true No matter what you do they’ll pick on you, and they’ll suss you out And as time goes by you know that it’s true

Automatic Memory Doll 04:37
lyrics
I have found a place to dream, a place to hide, a place to scream A place where I can call my own, finally I have a home Where were you when I was fell down, took a fall and hit the ground Falling silence all around, nothing there not a sound I’ve learned to live standing tall, hold myself and break my falls I thought I heard an echo stir, a snowflake silence everywhere Skin 17, it saved the you and it saved the me It dragged you kicking down the halls, beating fists will break these walls Raise our hands into the air, direct your rage, direct you there I think I thought I saw you here, an air of grace and not a care Skin 17, slowly dragging down on me It pulls it tears it will not go, never now forever so I thought I left you out of me, what’s one more time or three Take me down and take me there, skin 17 is always here Cut the bad right out of me, carve your name and let me be Skin 17 you’ll always be dearest of them all to me Skin 17, it saved the you and it saved the me It dragged you kicking down the halls, beating fists will break these walls Raise our hands into the air, direct your rage, direct you there I think I thought I saw you here, an air of grace and not a care Skin 17, slowly dragging down on me It pulls it tears it will not go, never now forever so Skin 17, it saved the you and it saved the me It pulls it tears it will not go, never now forever so

Waiting Pains 03:25
lyrics
Dreams dying, hopes rising It’s out of our hands who we are now Fevers rising, there’s no more hiding Something tells me we are near the end now And oh somewhere, and oh out there You’ll find there’s someone who you love now And I’ll wait here, forever patient I know I’ll find you in the end I can’t fight it, I can’t hide it It’s eating me up from the insides At night I wonder, how much longer And will I know that it’s you when we meet And oh somewhere, and oh out there You’ll find there’s someone who you love now And I’ll wait here, forever patient I know I’ll find you in the end

This Ship is Going Down 03:08
lyrics
I watched you crash and burn Lessons were never learned No limit to what you’d do It catches up with you In the blink of an eye The time it takes to sigh You lost all that you had What a way and how sad And if I was you I wouldn’t know what to do I wouldn’t know how to think I wouldn’t know how to feel Now nothing is real You’ve got to be strong You’ve got to hold on Before it gets to you Turn away from the pain Nothing quite feels the same Now if I were you There would be only one thing to do Lift your head up to the sky Dream a dream that never dies Don’t care now what they say Wish them all to go away And if I was you I wouldn’t know what to do I wouldn’t know how to think I wouldn’t know how to feel Now nothing is real You’ve got to be strong You’ve got to hold on Before it gets to you I wish that I would never die I’d stay right here beside you Wherever you go, you’re not alone A piece of me goes with you And so it seems we live in dreams I know this is real, I know as I feel Hold onto me and I’ll hold onto you It’s in every single thing that we do I wish that I would never die I’d stay right here beside you Wherever you go, you’re not alone A piece of me goes with you And so it seems, we live only in dreams, I know this is real, I know as I feel
