01. Starless - Lyrics:

If only you could watch me fall
I cannot feel it anymore
The soul you cut, the soul you adored
Cannot feel you anymore
Cause you've run through me with destructive force
I think somehow I gotta get it straight
I gotta get you out of me
But I cannot get through you

See me I'm down and I get deeper with every breath
See me I'm over the edge, farther with every step
See me I'm down and I get deeper with every breath
Standing over the edge - I'm taking my last breath

How I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to fade now
And how I feel like I'm starless
I'm hopeless and grayed out
Somehow I feel like I'm starless 
I'm ready to fade now
And now I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to burn out

I can transcend you and mentally bend you
But I can't handle the shit that I'm into
I have been blinded, I'm always reminded
Of the things I've wanted but I never could find
I am a part of a world that I hate 
I wish the end would come faster, my world's a disaster
Can't you see that I'm down and I'm drowning
And I can't keep my head above my wake

See me I'm down and I get deeper with every breath
See me I'm over the edge, farther with every step
See me I'm down and I get deeper with every breath
Standing over the edge - I'm taking my last breath

How I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to fade now
And how I feel like I'm starless
I'm hopeless and grayed out
Somehow I feel like I'm starless 
I'm ready to fade now
And now I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to burn out

I gotta get you out of my veins
I gotta get you out of my blood
I gotta get you out of my scene
I gotta get you out of me

But I've really tried hard to get down to words
It's the way I fit into this world
I think I've survived
Pushed me to the darker side
Because of life as it was
The life that was yours should've been mine
But I never could take anymore of this
'Cause I'm always gonna get, gonna get down to the floor
It's a cold gun that I kiss
'Cause I cannot break anymore

Somehow I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to fade now
That's how I feel when I'm starless
I'm hopeless and grayed out
Somehow I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to burn out
Now I'm starless

02. Cold - Lyrics:

Looking back at me, I see
That I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in things I cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by 
Something strong like a drug that gets me
High

What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold, never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold, never meant to be so

Cold to you, I'm sorry 'bout all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You can see me stand on my own again
'Cause now I can see
You are the antidote that got me by
Something strong like a drug that got me
High

What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold, never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold, never meant to be so cold

Never meant to be, so cold

I never really wanted you to see
The screwed-up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me there's just no hope
I never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way (is I'm sorry for the way) that I am
I never meant to be so cold, never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way (is I'm sorry for the way) I am
I never meant to be so cold, never meant to be so cold

03. So Far Away - Lyrics:

I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
Now I'm blaming you for everything

No more holding it in
How many years can I pretend
Nothing never goes the way it should
No more sitting in this place
Hoping you might see it my way
Cause I don't think you ever understood
That what I'm looking for are the answers
To why these questions never go away

I'm so far away
I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
I'm so far away
Now I'm blaming you for everything

No more waiting for the end
Of every day that I will spend
Wishing that I only had a choice
No more pushing you away
Cause I will be busy watching things going my way
Never looking back on this anymore
Because what I'm looking for are the answers
To why these questions never go away

I'm so far away
I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
I'm so far away
Now I'm blaming you for everything

I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
Now I'm blaming you for everything

I'm so far away!

Hey hey watch me wave
Goodbye to yesterday
Nothing left in my way
Hey hey I've been saved
With sun shining on my pain
Getting me through this day
Hey hey watch me wave
Goodbye yesterday
Nothing left in my way
Feels so good to say

I'm so far away
I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
I'm so far away
Now I'm blaming you for everything
Now I'm blaming you

04. Colors - Lyrics:

Can you feel it crush you?
Does it seem to bring the worst in you out?
There's no running away from
These things that hold you down
Do they complicate you
Because they make you feel like this?
Of all the colors that you've shine
This is surely not your best

But you should know
These colors that you're shining are

Surely not the best colors that you shine
Surely not the best colors that you shine

I know you feel alone, yeah
And no one else can figure you out
But don't you ever turn away
From the ones that help you down
Well they'd love to save you
Don't you know they love to see your smile
But these colors that you've shined
Are surely not your style

But you should know
These colors that you're shining are

Surely not the best colors that you shine
Surely not the best colors that you shine

I know you're feeling like you're lost
But you should know
These colors that you're shining are

I know you're feeling like you're lost
You feel you've drifted way to far
Did you know these colors that you're shining are

Surely not the best colors that you shine
Surely not the best colors that you shine

(Surely not the best)
I know you're feeling like you're lost
(Colors that you shine)
But you should know
These colors that you're shining are

(Surely not the best)
I know you're feeling like you're lost
You feel you've drifted way to far
Did you know these colors that you're shining are

05. Death Trend Setta - Lyrics:

Yeah, it's what I've become that I fear the most
I never thought it could get so wrong
I believe there's a part of me that I cannot beat
A part of me that I can't defeat
The side of me that just doesn't belong

Judging by the weight of my fucked up world
I think maybe I should take a step back from this
I need to quit pushing, just let it roll

The waves that you made push me, push me 
The things that you say push me, push me
The waves that you made push me, push me 
So I'll play God now and blow you, blow you away

Yeah, it's what you've become that I took today
You never thought I could be so strong 
You can see there's a part of me that you cannot beat
And part of you will always remember me 
When you look around and you are so alone

Judging by the weight of my fucked up world
I think maybe I should take a step back from this
But you had to keep pushin' so I let it go

The waves that you made push me, push me 
The things that you say push me, push me
The waves that you made push me, push me 
So I'll play God now

Now that you pushed me 
I bet you wish we could have made things better
And now you see that I could be, another would be, another death trend setter

Now you see that you pushed me
I bet you wish we could have made things better
And now you see that I could be, another would be, another death trend setter!

(Push me, push me)
(Blow you, blow you away)
(Push me, push me)
(Blow you, blow you away)

The waves that you made push me, push me 
The things that you say push me, push me
The waves that you made push me, push me 
So I'll play God now, and blow you, blow you away

Now that you pushed me 
I bet you wish we could have made things better
And now you see that I could be, another would be, another death trend setter

Now you see that you pushed me
I bet you wish we could have made things better
And now you see that I...
I'll play God now

06. The Deep End - Lyrics:

I built my life, like my bike, on a rigid frame
Nothing bends; it only breaks into pieces and pieces
I waited for hope to arrive, but it never came
Leaving me with only pain inside
I'm going off the deep end

I built my life on a rigid frame
So nothing bends; it only breaks into pieces and pieces
I waited for hope to arrive, but it never came
Leaving me with only pain inside
I'm going off the deep end

Holding on is harder than it seems
When you're reaching for so much more
Seems so much more easier to just give in
When you're reaching for so much more

Another wasted Saturday, so here I'll stay
But nothing seems to ever change anyway, hey
All this hype about life being great...
Where's the love for me these days?
I'm going off the deep end

Holding on is harder than it seems
When you're reaching for so much more
Seems so much more easier to just give in
When you're reaching for so much more

Holding on is harder than it seems
When you're reaching for so much more
Seems so much more easier to just give in
When you're reaching for so much more

07. No Giving Up - Lyrics:

So you found out today your life's not the same
Not quite as perfect as it was yesterday but
When you were just getting in the groove
Now you're faced with something new
And I know it hurts and I know you feel torn
But you never gave up this easily before
So why do you choose today to give it all away

Well it's not so bad y'all
Together we all fall
Just as long we get up we'll stand tall
We shouldn't waste another day
Thinking 'bout the things that we forgot to say

I'm hittin' back y'all
Kickin' these four walls
Just as hard as I can til I can't crawl
I won't waste another day
With all these silly things
Swimmin' in my brain

There's no giving up now
Do you really want to give this all away
Can't you ever see things in a different way
Somedays
No giving up now
Such a beautiful thing to throw away
You should think things through
Over and over again
All over again

So your scars fade away
You soaked up the pain
A better person 'cause you lived through those days
And now you know what it's like to prove
You can overcome anything that gets to you
Well it's alright
We're sayin' our goodbyes
To the past and everything that ain't right
We won't waste another day
With all these silly things in our way

There's no giving up now
Do you really want to give this all away
Can't you ever see things in a different way
Somedays
No giving up now
Such a beautiful thing to throw away
You should think things through
Over and over again
All over again

I know we have given
All that we can give
When there's nothing to lean on
Well, I remember this
All we make of this lifetime
Is always here within
And remembering that's why
We should never give in

There's no giving up now
Do you really want to give this all away
Can't you ever see things in a different way
Somedays
No giving up now
Such a beautiful thing to throw away
You should think things through
Over and over again
All over again

There's no giving up now!

08. Dead Skin - Lyrics:

So I'm the king
Of all these things
Of this mess I have made
Such a waste
What a shame
My whole life is a fake

Well I'm a bore
And I'm sure
I'm a thorn inside of you
That has torn at you for years

The alcohol
The demerol
These things never could replace
What a minute with you could do to put a smile on my face

I'm a bore and I'm sure
I'm a thorn inside of you
That has torn at me for years

I can't get out of this dead skin
I can't shed my skin
I'm not sure where to begin
Why can't I begin again
I can't get under my dead skin
I can't shed my skin
Can I sleep til then

Phenobarbital and alcohol
These two surely will do
To knock me out
Keep me down atleast a day or two

When I'm awake
I can taste how bitter I've become
And it's more than I can bare somedays
I pray someone will blow me away

Make it quick
But let it burn
So I can feel my life fade

Well I'm a waste and I can taste
How bitter I've become
And It's more than I can bare
I can't shed my skin
I can't shed my skin

09. Disco - Lyrics:

You would give it all up in an instant
I bet you torched your house with your own hands
You'd let me break your back so you could lie in it
And never get up, never get up from it
You're back into that smack do you know you act
Just like a whore beggin' for crack or a sack
You think you revolutionize with every break you take you bring me down

Does anybody know who the fuck you are?
Does anybody care who the fuck you are?

You're wasted now and you're gettin' on down with the disco!
You're wasted now and you think you want to leave but you don't go!
You're wasted now and your pants have been soiled by you disco!
You're wasted now and you THINK there was a point but you don't know!

You would take us all down with you if you
Would stab me in the back with your own hands
Never turn around to see if I'm okay
I'll always get up, get up in your face
You're one of those people everybody just loves to hate
Just a person everybody else loves to blame
You think we care well every breath you take just brings us down

Does anybody know who the fuck you are?
Does anybody care how the fuck you are?

You're wasted now and you're gettin' on down with the disco!
You're wasted now and you think you want to leave but you don't go!
You're wasted now and your pants have been soiled by you disco!
You're wasted now and you think there was a point but you... don't know!

So what's your point?
But what's your point?

You bring it back for me!
Those things I thought had left me!
That hate that greed that bleeds me!
Become the speed that feeds me!

You're wasted now and you're gettin' on down with the disco!
You're wasted now and you think you want to leave but you don't go!
You're wasted now and your pants have been soiled by you disco!
You're wasted now and you think there was a point but you... don't know!

10. The Unknown - Lyrics:

Can you hear me
Can you see any part of me
Can you feel me
Can you bleed for me

Can't you see me walkin in your shoes
Can't you feel me steppin all over your soul
Can't you feel me reach into you

Can't you feel me walkin over your soul
Can't you feel me wait in pain
Can't you feel me reach into you

Can't you see me walkin in your shoes
Can't you feel me steppin all over your soul
Can't you feel me reach into you

Can't you feel me walkin over your soul
Can't you feel me wait in pain
Can't you feel me reach into you

Can't you feel me walkin over your soul
Can't you feel me wait in pain
Can't you feel me reach into you
