Intro 01:52
Seasons pass you by Unassured of where to go. Fear can get you high Releasing more. We say 'Its all just fine It'll work out either way'. If you say goodbye Whats keeping you away? Feel, its not that real When you say it's all because I never let you go. But you wanted to bring me down Just to feel how long it takes. When the morning comes whats keeping you awake? If you say it aloud does it make you feel like you're at home? When you saved yourself, did you save yourself?

Waves 05:19
Standing back from windows keeps the mind inside. All we need is a safer place so we don't have to hide. When the colors all but fade will you feel the music sway? Safe inside to count the ways we're counting down the days. You seem afraid, I'm not too sure if you understand how less is more. Feel the waves, they're pulling you away. When you cant escape remember who said not to stray. Face down with eyes closed, you were in my dreams. Nothing would've happened if you just stayed home. No one wants to listen the only way we learn Is standing out in sunlight until our faces burn. If you think its safe I'm not too sure if you Understand what keeps my fingers closed. Feel the waves, they're pulling you away. When you cant escape remember who said not to stray. Face down with eyes closed, you were in my dreams. Nothing would've happened if you just stayed home. Silence, you buried me inside. Wanting 'something' is wanting the worst kind. Slowly, we turn to all our dreams. Knowing one day we're stuck somewhere between. Safety, you never had to leave. They were all in your head And now you're just a voice instead. Struggling, I hear you in my dreams. But I'm only just a friend. I'm always only just a friend. She, she buried me inside Knowing one day there'd be no place to hide. Feel the waves, they're pulling you away. When you cant escape remember who said not to stray. Face down with eyes closed, you were in my dreams. Nothing would've happened if you just stayed home. Stay home.

One 05:22
Take a drink to force it down. Your bodies aging to we cant just wait around. Well I'm being strong for your sake. We built our homes with walls of skin. The only exit is to let our nails grow in. How can you bare to stay inside? You'll never find what you need From holding on if you wait for me. Follow through like you're aware You say the most when no ones there. No ones there. From where we are it's all so clear. The trees we plant will someday interfere. We gave our sight its meaning. You force the lie in what you've seen. The only difference was the part that's in between. You never hesitate to lie. You'll never find what you need From holding on if you wait for me. Follow through like you're aware You say the most when no ones there. No ones there. You'll wish you'd built your skin of stone Cause there's not an easy way to cope. Just stand up straight I've known these things to come in pairs. You'll never find what you need From holding on if you wait for me. Follow through like you're aware You say the most when no ones there. You'll never find what you need From holding on if you wait for me. Follow through like you're aware You say the most when no ones...

Not By Sight 04:38
In the past I promised to never go this far. But that was then and I was so sure of where to stand. Its hard to disconnect when you know the timings right For opportunity to take you where you own the thoughts you speak. I have never felt connected though I'm starting to believe That it's better not to know intent When minds can change and hearts can bleed Point me to the road. I swear that I can find my way back. And after you are on your own You'll never love the reason you're alone. To keep thoughts off the ground I retreat to where I'm safest Where not a stone can shake me, not a stone can shake me out. It's hard to fight against when you know the timeline is skewed. This is not about direction or the hold it has on me. It's the change out of comfort that deludes necessity. Before you say that you except you have to say you understand. Point me to the road. I swear that I can find my way back. And after you are on your own You'll never love the reason you're alone. What has brought you to this place? Trying to feel what you can't see? Just trace every footstep until you decide 'It's not there for me". At least you'll walk away a lesser man. You'll have to be aware you wont come back the same. Point me to the road. I swear that I can find my way back. And after you are on your own You'll never love the reason you're alone. I swear we'll make a home Just find a way to cope.

In Red 04:58
I might've lied when I said I tried to stay away from you. With your scent so inviting how long did you think I'd play these games without needing more? I feel it grow, I feel it deep inside but now I'm not alone. You should've known we see in red. My body begs to drag you down again. Take it slow, free of our skin. Don't try to say you never wanted this. When you first said my name I thought if words could speak They'd be laughing, well I hope they're not laughing at me. You could lose everything but you would choose not having me. You couldn't make the laughing stop so now I'll make it scream. If you lie it's alright. There's not a thing that you can do to get away this time. You should've known we see in red. My body begs to drag you down again. Take it slow, free of our skin. Don't try to say you never wanted. I could tell you about the way he makes me feel Or how he always gets you to crawl back. I think its funny how you're only words are 'Please just stop'. Please just stop. You should've known we see in red. My body begs to drag you down. Drag. Take it slow, free of our skin. Don't try to say you never wanted this.

Saudade 05:12
Sit at the waters edge Don't remind me how long its been. Don't sleep or breath in. We'll see what happens when you use your head. You could never say goodbye Cause you're just as lonely as I. Don't breathe the air deep Its just as cold when it comes out. Don't breath the air deep. Feel the water rise. Don't breath the air deep. Wait for the tide to come. Seasons pass you by Unassured of where to go. Fear can get you high Releasing more. We say 'Its all just fine It'll work out either way'. If you say goodbye Whats keeping you away? You could never say goodbye Cause you're just as lonely as I. Don't breathe the air deep Its just as cold when it comes out. You could never say goodbye Cause you're just as lonely as I.
