Hey girl in line Show me yours, I'll show you mine Yours are so fucking divine It must be some sort of sign Hey lover outside  I keep thinking of other times The cards played are like a crime I will take back what's mine The ending came out so wrong I had planned it out for so long The water flowing through my veins I'm so ready to rip off my face Replace it with another one of your hands To hold you close every day Hey world out there You make me rip out my hair Your dealings, they seem so fair But now I am much more aware I am stuck under the world's glare Only now did I start to care I am the jack of hearts You were my Joan of arc We killed the king of spades The joker became the start He was the real king of hearts My club was my hidden ace The queen was under a cloak My trump two arms to embrace I’ll get out of my chair And blow out my brains Because after this hand It’ll all be the same I awoke the destroyer He commanded my eyes My final hand was a bluff But no one was surprised I just wanted to die I wanted to restart and die I wanted everything to change Thoughts breeding inside of my head Unable to do this without you Oh god I wish I was...

I grabbed your hand and pulled off your arm It was infinite, slack and dumb I pulled it and pulled till I drowned in the hope Of the shallow pool from which I come I'm only human in so many ways I tried so hard to command the fray Though these whisperings helped me through the day I don't need another transformation to stay awake I'll make it through somehow Hold my hand like you did before I transformed and you loved me Help me soar Oh, the world I could change The ending of me The sweetest alive I cannot decide I’ll always degrade I’m always a phase Create a crusade Restart and upgrade Do you remember the time When we were together at last Our love was alive Now it's but a cast Do you remember the time We were hand in hand I crushed the world You were there to help me stand I pulled the trigger as fast as I can But I never hurt because I wasn’t a man This is my last ending and I'm gonna stop I’m ready to consider the fact that I’ve lost

The Promise 03:57
I wish I was out of this space Too unreal to even conceive I left a being of waste Indistinguishable from me The world was unprepared for me I found the door and it’s guarded By a million angry souls I willed away the war And through will I was whole Right now I miss you I promised her I'd stop the pain With all my limbs broken or lame Right now I miss you I'd do anything but I don't know if I can do this again I rip apart the screen Stab the destroyer with a knife Dive through into the world I've never been so happy in my life The world is changing around me And what was heaven is now the sea I looked at the wounds I had inflicted before And only now do they bleed I have made this promise I never needed this family I restarted it all Just to end up destroying me With the ability to think, I crawl One last chance to recreate it all I'll lose everything in the world But I'll be able to reverse the fall

Sing a song of a thousand lies I am everything your god likes Dream a dream of a thousand days I am everything I hate Sing a song of a thousand highs All wondering where the hell's the sky? Dream a dream of a thousand tries To kill it all and end up alive Sing a song of demons unheard Calling them out is so absurd Dream a dream of not knowing how To live a life and not fall down Tell me what is love Remember who you are Fly to heaven above Man of black and white he said Fuck em up and stain the world red I wish I’d fucking kept it in my head I burned you before I put me out instead God dammit I’ll rip you apart - I dimmed the lights I hyperventilate The rhythm continues to change I dance but I can't move away I’d only die in front of you This rhythm makes me wanna fucking move Bright light streaming into my eyes I laughed at that from which I stem I've never felt like I grabbed hold of life I wish I could spend time with them

The Human 03:47
I reached to remember the feel of your face It passed right through my hands, eyes burnt like mace Crushed up against against the lies in which you were conceived I don't really care because you mean everything to me I stood up and you disappeared into the dust below I recreated the hell from which I came from and loved it so It wasn't nearly as bad as I remembered it to be All my love diverged away when I tried to stop being me I'll keep fighting for however long I last Derived false truths from when I was crass The world just spins too far too fast The world just spins way too god damn fast But I know now, you weren't real I loved myself just to know how it feels The roads I walked were of broken glass The light I see will forever last The Sunset is so beautiful, purple as my visions I was so in love with her, I knew that she was the one The palm trees painted on her eyes, the sand deep in my grains I imagined her, the water never the same I packed up everything in order to be prepared I wished that everything could be wrapped up the same way Tore up everything because I thought I was just caught in your hair I just wish that everything wouldn’t make me afraid We danced under suns of stone Collapsed when you started to strobe I was a little star just waiting to explode The thoughts of war, I know I’m gonna break in two My heart is starting to push all the way fucking inside My god I’m gonna die, I can’t find a way We danced under suns of stone Collapsed when I held you down I’ll never give up Again And now we’re alone My eyes are bleeding in spite of our love My skin floating away I’ll never give up
