Pull me close. Do you remember all that we said that night? Its not on you its all on me, your body meshes perfectly in the sand tonight. But no we can't, no we can't have it all.. Watch it all just wash away Cuz I walked that road too many times before you know i’m right Time and again you say were only friends this times goodbye. How many times will you deceive me. How times did you say, “You’re broken dreams your fantasies…They don’t mean jack shit too me and in reality, no you can’t…no you can’t have it all.” Now we see it all and every time we held our tongues. It doesn’t feel right. Give it up. When will I learn?

Backwards 03:26
Woke up early one morning, the past runs through my mind. All the games, all the stories. Now I'm staying in tonight. Wanna break outside right now, I can hardly wait. Had a dream last night about how, It's gotta be fateIt's gotta be fate. I wanna go backwards into time, back when this made more sense. Back when we'd do things for no good reason. I wanna go backwards into time, and I must confess, if this ain't what you want then what's the meaning. Damn, it's really cold outside, I best stay in tonight. Just escape inside my mind, and turn off all the lights. Maybe I'm just seeing things, I don't know. I wanna see what this means, I can't let it go. I can't let it go.

Always lost and lonely. You're on the verge of letting go. Creating more disaster. Self-destruction’s all you know. You simply make your compromise, then you fill you head with lies. Regret consumes you time feels slow. I only know. I see the look that's in your eyes. You let the child inside you die. What's the difference you'll never know. One by one they drop like flies, with one last breath they finalize. Now they're dead in the snow Your finger's on the trigger. The safety's on inside your mind. You're sure to drink the poison. You fall in every hole you find.

All I Need 02:14
Dry your eyes. this conversations over. you were right its... time we decide. and all I need is someone who will care, someone who is there and will fight for this.. all I need is someone who is real someone who believes in what I can give.. and why am i the one to take this lightly? You’re the one who let him stay the night.. you look at me with such confusion, like I would never know.. like I would not find out.. tonight we see the truth.

Even thoough it feels like ecstasy, you and I, go round. Break the door just to make a scene, what a life, tear it down. So you say, you need to know. Why can't we see, this out alone? You won't believe, who needs to use. Will you be there tonight? (waiting for a lie) Take some time to make this clear to me, share tonight, somehow. Gotta take me to this place to see, our light, burn out.

Crimson Sky 04:01
Outside my window, the world is burning down. Fiery light burns a hole right threw me. Can't find the door, i only hear the sound. Can't say what this means it's nothing to me. Smiling soft, wait tip tomorrow. Strangers all around who know breathing slow you wait to follow. Just can't seem to let this go. Open up my eyes and you're the that got away fading in the crimson sky. Can't turn my back oh i never got to say give me one more reason why. I can't stay no, to who i call my own The more i learn the less i believe, and my opinion, burns away alone. This lucid dream is becoming naive. Bleed to know you're alive, same old look in those eyes, out of place, out of time , out of mind. (2nd time out of our mind)

The moon lit up the sky I couldn’t even sleep that night I reached out to pull you in Hours pass I can’t wait feel your skin against mine soft and warm but you just laid there on the floor That night I wanted you, like I never have before Without Serendity Now you wish that you were there for me (me tonight) Now you think to care after all that I’ve become Its funny how you stop to think of me when I When I’m already gone (when Im already gone) The morning came at last I asked you for a second chance Nothing went as planned You said ‘Whoever said we had a plan I’m not sure why I even asked you just sat behind your mask all night So Ill just say goodbye’ Without Serendity Im not sure why I even asked you just sat behind your mask all night So I’ll just say goodbye Now the tables turned (now the tables turned) And I wish you the best .....Oh...

Been gone now for many years, no more stories no more fears Misunderstood the lyrics to my song No unanswered questions here, I’m tired of these games my dear And your inconsistent sense of right and wrong Look to another sign and all the shades of grey No way its never gonna happen Take minute watch you self destruct and fade away Everyday you’ll see me laughing All is lost and all has failed,  impossible to prevail You got what you had coming For all these years I had to run, this false sense of bliss is gone The reoccurring dream’s so numbing What am I becoming,  faster I keep running Tired of blood shot eyes. It all ends tonight Waiting for disaster, vision blurring faster I can’t be more clear, I will leave you here I will leave you here
