CHORUS:
You'll never find the answers you seek,
if you keep on putting life on repeat.
There's danger in complacency,
and if you can't break out
you'll never be free.
You'll never find the answers you seek,
if you keep on putting life on repeat.
Reverse the way you think and see,
and you'll be able to find out
just who you could be.
You say you want
to create change,
but everything
just stays the same.
I know you're doing
what you can do.
But if the folks find out
they'll just have to lose.
There is so much
uncertainty
and I know how it feels
when you're in-between.
You simply have to
change the rules.
Don't let them win
no matter what you do.
CHORUS
It's not important to be
their visions of you.
Learn who you are
and what you can do.
We all have things
to contribute,
and this world's too small
to deny the truth.
Who do you see
when you face yourself?
Do you find it hard to
put the bad on the shelf?
You have to be
honest with you.
Harm none. Live life
to please only you.
CHORUS

I walk towards the water,
feel the wind caress my face.
Smell the salt of the ocean.
I can almost taste it.
It seems like so long ago
when my feet were placed right here.
I'm surprised to
find myself back again.
Struggle with the tears.
CHORUS:
It's a singular notion
to make some sense out of existence.
All I needed was to be freed
from all the petty questions.
Time can heal most of your wounds.
Determination does the rest.
Inner peace has been a long time coming
but it's finally here at last.
CHORUS x 2

Paranoia gets
the best of me;
I remember the
way that you have helped me to see.
I'll never be ungrateful to you.
It's easy to get lost
within the worth of our truth.
For all the times that I've
wanted so much to die,
you've helped me
figure out my own mind.
The joy that surrounds me
when I'm around you, all
comes down to the things you do.
So take me away...
CHORUS:
Take me away to
another place where we can
live our lives for ourselves.
A place where no one judges
us. We exist as we are and
know no other realms.
All that we want is to be loved
just as we are, no conditions.
So take me away to
another place where we can
live our lives for ourselves.
We're the misunderstood ones.
People think they know better
than us what we should be.
It's all so ridiculous,
how they wound us with
their alleged sensibilities.
I'm a river so let me cut
my own path within the
mountains and the hills.
I know they want the best for us.
Until we stand up,
they will never know our wills.
Just take me away...
CHORUS

The smell of your perfume
makes me want to vomit.
Your caress feel like snakes down my spine.
How the hell could I have been so naive?
Now I'm trapped at your home wasting time.
You took the only thing you wanted.
All I need is to find a way to be left alone.
You grab your keys and say "Stop whining."
Despite my better judgment,
you managed to get me back home.
We embrace. I see your face hover over me.
I touch you in the way you want to be.
There's this cosmic sense of twinning.
"Am I losing? Am I winning?"
I take a look at your sweet face
and stammer out, (And I say)
"This is just something that I
cannot do tonight.
I thought that I was over my prior love."
What's unsaid is what remains.
I can't begin to even explain that
I am more like you are than you could
possibly know.
CHORUSCHORUS:
It's like the pungent smell of thunder.
It's like the salty taste of blood.
It's like the screams that go unanswered
or the voices in my head.
I didn't want to be here.
I didn't want to be your toy.
You never thought of me for a moment.
You only thought of your own joy.
CHORUS:
It's like the pungent smell of thunder.
It's like the salty taste of blood.
It's like the screams that go unanswered
or the voices in my head.
I didn't want to be here.
I didn't want to be your toy.
You never thought of me for a moment.
You only thought of your own joy.

It's 4 am
I cannot sleep again
Try to fight
this mental war
that I must win
Threatening to overtake me
worm its way into my brain
rules my life with an iron fist
Before my love wakes up
I shed my tears
and have my cup
try to gather myself up
and face another day
If it's insanity
that's creeping up on me
how do I run away
from the pain?
CHORUS:
Am I losing my mind
over memories and the like kind
don't want to be
obsessed with all the pain again
Whether I lose or if I win
all that I want is to be whole again
and never cast a whim
on what could have been
You have evangelists, jihadists,
people who don't want to be honest
those who want to rape your body
and your soul, they want control
of the thoughts
that are in your head
wonder if we're all
not better off dead
maybe the idea instead
should be humanity
mickey mouse has grown up a cow
yet extremists would allow
some sort of amnesty somehow
all for a brand name
so afraid of other people
petrified of being equal
and yet there's always another sequel
and another game.
CHORUS

Faith [Demo Version]

All those little special things
you used to say to me
vanish in the haze of what
we weren't supposed to be.
Can't believe I'm saying this
but is this what it means
to suffocate?
Falling down this slip'ry slope of
emotions gone wrong.
You pass the time just getting by
lis'ning to my songs.
You know you're always telling me
every moment that I'm wrong.
Is it too late?
CHORUS:
Pray to God that I make it
through this time of self-hatred.
All that I ever wanted
was to have a love.
It's deeper than the oceans.
Nothing can ever break it.
But now I find that you
may not be what you seem.
You decide to make your move
and put your hands on me.
So scared and frightened of
this new person that I see.
I try to tell myself it's just
a bad day for me.
Are you coming home?
They all have accusing eyes and
want me to explain.
How can love become so
intertwined with the pain?
Managing the best I can,
hoping it's not in vain
to keep this love.
CHORUS x 2
But now I find that you
may not be what you seem.
But now I find that you
may not be what you seem.
