Mesmerized 03:37
Any day is a perfect day When I spend it with you Chase away the disarray Sink back slowly into Soon enough you'll see the final turn Getting near, feel the fear but will you ever learn No matter how close you won't feel the burn Fading out, try to shout with the utmost concern I'll tap my feet as you sing along Our hearts together will dance You always say it's your favorite song A perfect summer romance Exit down the stairs and to your right Past the wall where you all have to stare at the light Mesmerized by the awesome sight You could say every day's gonna be alright Soon enough you'll see the final turn Getting near, feel the fear but will you ever learn No matter how close you won't feel the burn Fading out, try to shout with the utmost concern Exit down the stairs and to your right Past the wall, where you all have to stare at the light Mesmerized by the awesome sight You could say every day's gonna be alright Soon enough you'll see the final turn Getting near, feel the fear but will you ever learn No matter how close you won't feel the burn Fading out, try to shout with the utmost concern

Just Embrace 04:43
Late at night only sight By the candlelight, we are Not the first or the worst So who's complaining You could try to deny Or identify, when it Took a hold so I'm told It needs explaining You're never gonna be a winner You're always gonna run away Someone's always gonna beat you But you won't lose your grace You say that you are a beginner I See you practice every day You're never gonna see it through Just embrace Feeling great moving straight Gotta motivate, if you Just defend 'til the end Then you won't get there After all you could fall From your drug withdrawal, give up Never see that you'll be Invited elsewhere You're never gonna be a winner You're always gonna run away Someone's always gonna beat you But you won't lose your grace You say that you are a beginner I See you practice every day You're never gonna see it through Just embrace

Every Monday bleeds into the Sunday Every fun way hinges on your one play If you're lonely know you're not the only Person slowly growing more unholy Show your true self drinking only top shelf Fuck your friend's health, what about your bosses wealth Treat us like a dog, tell us we're a cog In a well made machine producing diamond smog We could do it if we wanted to Burn it down so we can start anew I think it's time in fact we're overdue Yes it's true See the view Follow through End the system that has brought you pain Change the balance and reset the reign Easy said but how can I explain You can gain Seems insane   Break your high score make your labor worth more Shake your ass for cake that fell on the floor You could work hard, do a shift at graveyard New credit card, who said we're not getting scarred If you close your ears then you close your mouth If you're watching this and never want to shout You can fall asleep, smile on your face On the winning team while also a disgrace We could do it if we wanted to Burn it down so we can start anew I think it's time in fact we're overdue Yes it's true See the view Follow through End the system that has brought you pain Change the balance and reset the reign Easy said but how can I explain You can gain Seems insane We could do it if we wanted to Burn it down so we can start anew I think it's time in fact we're overdue Yes it's true See the view Follow through End the system that has brought you pain Change the balance and reset the reign Easy said but how can I explain You can gain Seems insane

Waking each morning I see you Softly you call me and sing too Reaching my heart out, take hold Taking it slowly, you're too old Eating breakfast with you and it feels Like I'm home and I know that it's true Thanking me with a smile all the while You can warm my soul Sinking into me, we sit down Blankets and blank thoughts all around Dancing in dreams now, you sleep Stars in your green eyes hidden deep Eating breakfast with you and it feels Like I'm home and I know that it's true Thanking me with a smile all the while You can warm my soul

You don't want my love You just want my money When pushing comes to shove You'll see how this ain't funny Endless avenues of window shopping pain And once the advertisements drive us all insane We'll gladly hop aboard the nearest cattle train And we're off to see the profit squeezed from me You don't care about pride You just want my paychecks If every person died You'd sell our bodies to the insects Get your cameras out the world is on display On our right you'll see our morals right away I think I have a plan but first you'll have to pay I take cash, Venmo, card, Paypal, pay me it's not hard You don't need my trust You just need my labor We point out you're unjust You turn us on our neighbor There will come a time, the final straw will break You'll put too much of all our livelihood at stake And at the trial we'll show that this is what you make When you take and take and take and take

Never Knew 04:06
Waiting, baiting, wheezing, steezing, stealing, dealing No one cares if you're Breathing, heathen, shaming, framing, creeping, peeping, Just keep up with your Rhyming, timing, drinking, stinking, smoking, joking I could go for more Ripping, sipping, double dipping Never knew what I could do Never knew never knew never knew what I could do Never knew Never knew never knew never knew what I could do I'm done And nobody won but The salesman who told the lie He owns Mortar and stones that He'll build up to the sky Thinking, blinking, sweating, betting, staring, swearing I can't hear you they're Yelling, selling, scheming, screaming, preaching, screeching They don't seem to care Fighting, biting, grabbing, jabbing, smacking, whacking Who says life is fair Earning, yearning, living, giving Never knew what I could do Never knew never knew never knew what I could do Never knew Never knew never knew never knew what I could do I'm done And nobody won but The salesman who told the lie He owns Mortar and stones that He'll build up to the sky I'm done And nobody won but The salesman who told the lie He owns Mortar and stones that He'll build up to the sky

The Race 03:24
You're gonna win the race now Going round the track Don't look back It's the final lap And you know that speed can be useful I'd slow down here But we're not all like you, born without fear No, I can't stop you Or anything you do As all the racers chase now You float ahead with ease Like a breeze It's when you believe And you have the one little secret If you're not scared Then you'll rise up always, do what's not dared Yes, I can't stop you Or anything you do It's fallen into place now The finish is in sight There's no fight You'll do what you like As you drift by all the people You see the race Manifesting in their smiling face oh Yes, I can't stop you Or anything you do. Well you've set the pace now But there'll be more to come And where there's some It is never done

Corset queen Diamonds are her body Silk and lace Watered wine and high tea Ripped up tights Rings of gold and ivory These riches mean nothing to love Broken nails They tell a different story Dusty crown None behold your glory Empty halls The red queen isn't sorry Heads will roll, her word from above When it's over No they won't remember her name An empty kingdom And now she has no one to blame But her fame Autumn winds Bring the news of the fall Some would say That's when she'd lose it all 'til this day No one broke through her wall Cataclysmic proof that money brings fear Winter winds Ignite the darkest hour Bloody stains Upon the frozen flowers Silent peace At the collapse of power A throne ignited and they cast her away Empty words No one came when she called A sorry sight From she who once had it all Darkened tomb Screams behind her cell wall Tarnished silver on Judgement Day Now it's over And everyone remembers her name A name so ugly Twisted into nothing but pain And her shame A wealthy state Diamonds line their city Everyone Wealthy in wine and high tea And not a soul Looks back with any pity Hoarding riches leaves no room for love

Stare and think But don't you blink Or you will miss Wait 'til they automate Life in the abyss I don't know Where to go Waking up and making up A reason just to leave your bed Supposed to be the easy step Before you start the morning prep When you try you'd rather die Then hear the hate inside your head I hope that it gets better soon Get up before the afternoon Why I try And just deny That somethings wrong Makes all the time it takes Worth writing a song Can you show Where to go Waking up and making up A reason just to leave your bed Supposed to be the easy step Before you start the morning prep When you try you'd rather die Then hear the hate inside your head I hope that it gets better soon Get up before the afternoon Drop your wall And you will fall Into the black If you survive the cliff There's no going back Help me out Break the doubt Waking up and making up A reason just to leave your bed Supposed to be the easy step Before you start the morning prep When you try you'd rather die Then hear the hate inside your head I hope that it gets better soon Get up before the afternoon

Like Magic 03:06
We're all dancing in the dark Broken pieces, open hearts Finding out just who we are Just who we are Painting over every scar Turning tragic into art Feels like magic Just like magic Love of mine The time has come to say goodbye No matter where we go tonight I'll be there for you I'll be there for you We're all dancing in the dark Broken pieces, open hearts Finding out just who we are Just who we are Painting over every scar Turning tragic into art Feels like magic Just like magic Sunshine and moonlight I fade into star struck in your eyes Yeah I'll take a million of these nights I could stay forever Forever in your arms
