Stone Angel 03:16
Everything that I'm not catches up when I'm alone With eyes plastered shut, no one's home You tie the knots with your words They come bearing the spoken curse To see the sight I saw that night Nothing could be worse Tell me why we're still waiting Is this real or fading I know life will still go on after you're gone And when the harbors couldn't hold you and I anymore You left and I dropped down, collapsing on the floor I don't think that it is possible for me to feel as sore As the time I sat and watched your life fade through the door Angel made of stone, only love I've ever known Angel made of stone, when will you come home

Pudge 02:46
Some days I'm afraid to die I don't think I've gotten what I need out of life There are days when the skin on my bones Holds nothing down but feeling alone Some days I want to tear out my eyes Restore the hinges and make you realize That straight and fast is the only way out So just leave my thoughts on the fringe, I never forgot about you My lungs grew weak on the day you left The emptiness building within my chest You went straight and fast into a new life And just like that you were gone, nothing felt right For days I longed to know the truth, why you'd gone But some things don't come so easily, I've been wrong Well I can cut ties to your thoughts and count myself out But your presence I'll never live without I said I just hope in time you will forgive me Because I'm sorry Alaska, and I always will be Capacity won't consume me I know where you are is where I need to be

Heritage 01:42
As time passes by I'm left thinking of lost hope I've never been so close to giving up And even though I don't care anymore I just don't think that this is enough Today was the worst of many First time I've thought in awhile These times I've cherished don't mean anything but traded days and unfamiliar smiles And I'm sorry, but I wasn't lying when I said you're not enough (I'm thinking of giving up) And I'm sorry now that I'm the one that had to tell you this myself

Judas 03:06
Just go, give up your best shot and go 'Cause nothing in life means more than you could know You should try looking at your dreams The sadness bursting at the seams If my life had a purpose I'd do what I could to prove I deserve it And everything you ever saw in me Was everything I never wanted to be Bring me back the days before 'Cause in the end they're all we're good for If my life had a purpose, I'd do what I could to prove I deserve it And everything you ever saw in me Was everything I never wanted to be When the sun shines through the day I'll have known I found my way

Leaph Street 02:36
I'm sorry I ruined everything again But I swear to god I care more than the average man I make so many mistakes and let down those that I love My heart just aches Im not as useless As I make myself out to be (I tried to do right) Maybe if you just believed in me Leaph street youre empty like the hollow chest in me You're shattered like bones Leaph street you're barley holding on Make up what everyone else sees Like a branch off a tree When you fall You will lose all And be dead underground Just like im suppose to be
