Down 04:33
It's not the words I wanna hear This constant shift from comfort to fear "Not a chance" you uttered to me The very thing to bring me to my knees Take it back, why won't you take it back? Take me back, why won't you take me back? It's in the way you'd look at me (ooo) It's in the way you said you'd comfort me (ooo) Eventually we will come around (ooo) Until then baby, don't bring me down It's not like you could not be true The very thing that drove others from you "It's not like that!" You said to me This constant hunger can't be good for me Take it back, why won't you take it back? Take them back, take your damn lies back! It's in the way you'd look at me (ooo) It's in the way you said you'd comfort me (ooo) Eventually I will come around (ooo) Until then baby, I'll bring you down! Constant cravings brought me back around This time baby you can't bring me down Take my hand, I'll make sure that you drown Bury these feelings deep down underground Was a time you were my hero, Turns out you were just a zero Break my heart just like a mirror, oh Tell me baby what are you afraid of! Take you back? Why would I take you back? Get you back, I've come to get you back! It's in the way you'd look at me (ooo) It's in the way you said you'd comfort me (ooo) Eventually we will come around (ooo) Until then baby, I'll take you down!

I Am Awake 02:55
There's a message in a letter that you left there for me In a sun spot in a dark room where I was certain to see I am missing come and find me the letter had said I am lost now in the shadows with no place to lay my head Believe me, I am awake Find me in the house by the lake There is something in the shadows that is coming for me Left me empty left me wanting, made a shell out of me Need to focus hands are shaking furious words are typed out Tell the story of lovers missing and the darkness that lies about Believe me, I am awake Find me in the house by the lake These nightmares they cannot take These are the things that shadows always make There's a mystery in a small town a feeling that I can't shake Deception behind warm smiles everybody here is fake In shadows lies the answers in light salvation saves Need to find the truth from lies before we meet our graves Before we meet our graves I am awake.

Shame 03:55
And I'm sorry I couldn't save you from the thing you have become But it's slowly getting colder and the war has just begun I can't claim to be your savior, I can't change the things you've done I can only be your warmth in your world without the sun Bury all your trespasses, put them in the grave I tried so hard to be there, but your soul I couldn't save And your heart's as black as midnight, put your foes into the grave Bury them in armor let the world not see your shame For your love has no explanation and your hate it knows no bounds And the darkness that surrounds you drives you far from hallowed grounds I can't claim to be your hero I can't chase away hell hounds Let my warmth here surround you I promise I won't make a sound Bury all your trespasses, put them in the grave I tried so hard to be there, but your soul I couldn't save And your heart's as black as midnight, put your foes into the grave Bury them in armor let the world not see your shame Bury all your trespasses, put them in the grave I tried so hard to be there, but your soul I couldn't save And your heart's as black as midnight, put your foes into the grave Bury them in armor let the world not see your shame Bury all your trespasses, put them in the grave I tried so hard to be there, but your soul I couldn't save And your heart's as black as midnight, put your foes into the grave Bury them in armor let the world not see your shame Mm you have no Mm you have no Mm you have no Shame Mm you have no Mm you have no Mm you have no Shame Bury all your enemies Bury all your enemies Bury all your enemies Maybe the next one is me.

Tried so hard to get away From all the burdens that chip away Everything that you could dream Is right there in that house of leaves As the day dissolves to black And the memories rush back Everything you could conceive Is inspired by that house of leaves Know that the empty will eat you up Know that the void will spit you out Know that your words will remain true Know that it will find you Non sum qualis eram I don't know who I am! Non sum qualis eram I don't know who I am, I am I am! Can you feel the shifting shadows Marching solemnly towards gallows Everything that you don't need Is taken by that house of leaves And every promise that you said Is echoed by the broken dead Everything that you believed Is consumed by that house of leaves Know that the empty will eat you up Know that the void will spit you out Know that your words won't remain true Know that it will find you Non sum qualis eram I don't know who I am! Non sum qualis eram I don't know who I am, I am I am! And everything for which you grieved Has trapped you in that house of leaves Know that the empty will grind you down Know that the void won't let you out Know that your words were never true Know that it has found you Non sum qualis eram I don't know who I am! Non sum qualis eram I don't know who I am, I am I am! Hallways, hallways, hallways leading down Hallways, all ways, always leading down Hallways, hallways, hallways leading down Hallways, all ways, always leading down Always, Always, Always...

It's hard I confess, to properly express the way you make me feel So I think that I'll just try to get it off my chest, it's the only way I can be real You're the one that I love, the one I dream of, you're the only star in my sky And if your light went away, I would be in disarray and I think my heart would die So I'm writing you an untitled love song But my clumsy words keep getting in the way Just when I think the words sound right they are all wrong And I'm stuck here with nothing left to say It's tearing me apart, the words that are in my heart I cannot say to your face Don't know where to start, cannot express in art, the beauty of your grace Don't know what I should do, hate every song I write for you, they just don't hold up in the light Can't sing the right notes to the very songs I wrote for you every single night So I'm writing you another untitled love song But my clumsy words keep getting in the way Just when I think the words sound right they are all wrong And I'm stuck here with nothing left to say So I'm writing you an untitled love song But my clumsy words keep getting in the way Just when I think the words sound right they are all wrong And I'm stuck here with nothing left to say So I'm writing you another untitled love song But my clumsy words keep getting in the way Just when I think the words sound right they are all wrong And I'm stuck here with nothing left to say So I'm writing you another untitled love song But my clumsy words keep getting in the way Just when I think the words sound right they are all wrong And I'm stuck here with nothing left to say
