Murder

You change like the trees in the fall
When a new face is introduced
You’re an actor, you fake it all
Tearing up your heart to hide it
Stash the biggest peices deep inside
And hand out the smaller ones to others
Making sure they only see one side of you
Making sure they know no other part of you
CHORUS
Leaf by leaf you fall apart
As the world moves around you
You try to root to the ground to keep you stable
But even the smallest wind blows you away
Leaf by leaf you fall down
Tearing at the seams of you
Trying to blend into the darkness
Yet you try to front like you’re in the light
You’re playing with fire and it burns
But you love the feel of the danger
As if any second you’ll die physically and mentally
But what will you do when it really does happen?
CHORUS
There’s no fooling anyone, there’s no fooling me
You crave the attention as if it were a drug
Wide-eyed and riddled with lies, putting your hands over your eyes
You would think you’ve gotten away with murder

Blurred Lines

I’m afraid no good can come from this
Blood is shed hands are clenched in fists
Since I heard your voice calling out
The world it stopped spinning round
You call me out
You seek my flaws
Come on, come on, come on, come on
You think you’re better than
Everyone else in this infected world
You try to take us down
but you can’t even hold your ground
You try to silence us
But you can’t hold us back
The world is changing yes it is
But how many blurred lines must there be
Just my luck, I’m losing people to fight
They’re falling away tricked by your lies
You’re so focused on the now you don’t see the consequences
For any of your actions and you say I’M closed minded
CHORUS
You see the rain falling down
It’s all the water your words couldn’t hold
And it’s coming down bucket by bucket
As thunder crashes overhead
And once your mouth finally shuts
The storm will blow away
The sun will shine on all your lies
And no one else will go astray

Shatter Me

CHORUS
And the world starts to fall down
Shatters like glass around me
I feel myself start to break down
As the fog settles around me
Come on try to take me down
Before my ego hits its peak
Before my head gets way too big
And I start to leak
Let the world fall down for me
Let me see the harsh reality
Cuz I’m living somewhere in the clouds
Too high for anyone to see
CHORUS
I’m on a pedestal
I put myself up here
So I can look down on you
So I can cast down fear
Hey can you turn me around I’m giving you a challenge
Can’t say I’ll live through it, can’t say I’ll survive
But make everything crash down, make it shatter
So I can see the world, through brand new eyes
CHORUS
Shatter me

Someone Watching Me
04:14
|

|
I sit alone,
but something makes me uneasy
Is it my thoughts,
Or the world around me
Something here is just not right
From the chills that run down my spine
I look around but see nothing
is this just a daydream?
Ooh, I look over my shoulder
Ooh, is somebody there?
Ooh, I close my eyes
Ooh, my paranoia rise
chorus
And it all should be nothing
But something puts me on edge
Is it me? Am I thinking too much?
Or is there someone watching me?
Goosebumps trail up my arms
And I can’t stop talking to myself
This is making me insane
God, please, I need your help
Chorus
Stay away, just stay away
I’m not the one you’re looking for
I’m just an innocent bystander
stay away, jsut stay away,
whoever is out there

The Tornado Is Here
03:59
|

|
The silence slowly trickles to my ear
Telling me the war is over
I know the sun is shining
But it's taken cover
Behind the clouds that hide
The words unsaid by you
I know the rain is coming back
Nothing will be new
CHORUS
The trees they bend and the
Branches break
The howling wind deafens
All who are near
A funneled storm within
Our own world
The tornado's here,
The tornado's here.
The warning signs are everywhere
And i"m aware as they grow loud
This keeps happening to us
But the question is how
CHORUS
Oh, the force pulls us apart
Oh, I'm hiding in a safer place
Oh, I don't want to come out
Oh, and see the damage I've done
Mmm, the tornado's here
The tornado is here
CHROUS
