it wasn’t it what I planned I hit rocks instead of land I ran another way all the maps aren’t drawn the same hit a wall and punched a hole through I know there’s a home to crawl to now when I break all my luck the only way is up in midnight gridded lanes all the houses looked the same hanging upside down a mountain range won't weigh an ounce caught under a mile of burden I know there’s a way to turn around when I break all my luck the only way is up

Sea of Hate 02:19
We got a mad desire. It's flowing from your heart through my veins. It's a roarin fire, but the tide threatens to wash away the flame. I'm burnin for your love, you're drownin in my sea of hate. We got a raw power, it's stronger than i ever thought I'd know. Here in the midnight hour it ain't no match for the undertow. I'm burnin for your love, you're drownin in my sea of hate.

cold wind blowing the fire’s glowing keep me warm I’m crawling through the storm pull me closer my cheek to your shoulder I can’t do much here without your love Don’t make me lonely I couldn't handle this world without you don't wanna be alone in a world so cruel when you feel ragged your tears on my jacket I’ll dry them up hold you til they're gone just stand here a minute can’t stop you from spinning but I’ll share the weight when I hear you say don’t make me lonely I couldn't handle this world without you don't wanna be alone in a world so cruel

In spite of all the evidence in front of me, i ignore the thing that i don't want to know. How to reconcile what i don't want to see with the fact that i may never let it go. Tell myself we're not repeating history, but the seeds of doubt within me start to grow. Don't you wanna see how we got to be? Don't you wanna know why you are in a world of shit? When you just live in it, its so hard to know where to walk, in the dark without the light or way. Keep on going cuz its all you ever done. Hopin you may live to see a brighter day, don't just wither up and dry out in the sun. Don't you wanna see who you're gonna be? Don't you wanna show you weren't all talk? In a world of shit, when you just live in it, its so hard to know where to walk.

Let Me Out 04:06
I pulled the chains designed escapes I climbed up to a better view one thousand days I lived this way I lived to ripen with the fruit let me out let me out all the spirits have been singing in the corners of the house let me out let me out I don’t want to see another hammer falling from the clouds I don't want to talk my phone is off I know you tried to get through I thought I could be understood beyond a signal from you let me out let me out all the spirits have been singing in the corners of the house let me out let me out I don’t want to see another hammer falling from the clouds so many times I hid my heart I’ll make it out To play the part so many times I played the part

High bright day. Shine my ray. Open the nearest window and let me in. Sway my trees. Blow my breeze. Open the nearest window and let me in. Chaos song, right my wrong. Open the nearest window and let me in. Soft return. Heal my burns. Open the nearest window and let me in. Fall away. Siren Day. Open the nearest window and let me in.

glass eyes reappearing ballpoint on the paper writing the same things over wipe the slate clean hallucinate a way out what do you see? are you watching over me? bless my soul bring the sunlight streaming back in make me whole never answered for what I can't control I’ve been hearing visions holding onto you when you’re running in your sleep where are you taking me? bless my soul bring the sunlight streaming back in make me whole never answered for what I can't control

I feel somethin crawlin around my brain. Is it a bad idea? Is it the thought i want? I'm learning to understand the pain. When to ignore the signs, when to pretend I'm fine, but every other day it's such a drain. Am i the boring one? Am i holding back your fun? Wasting daydreams waiting on a train. I never hop on in, how do I choose a direction when it could be a loss, could be a gain? I'll play it as it lays. Shakin off my old ways. Bide my time hummin the old refrain, followin where it bends. I don't know how this ends.
