Crux
03:12
|
|||
|
V.1
Sit back and watch the crux, sit back upon the blue, the blue of my mind.
Never turning for the truth, never turning in our youth, we just sit and watch the dice crumble.
CHORUS
All we could ever do was live our lie.
V.2
I’m back searching through the echoes of my mind, no matter how hard I try.
The more volatile my insanity, it always brings me back to thoughts of you.
CHORUS
It’s so easy to live in guilt,
Oh it’s so easy to live in guilt
V.3
Far from violent flaws, the feelings could never let me go to show, my opinions are skewed.
You just sit upon your perch, the lady of the rippling world, the world is me.
My ego could never let me leave behind our security and start anew.
Emotions bubble and flow, emotions boil and froth, inside our demise.
CHORUS
All we could ever do was live our lie.
All we could ever do was live our lie.
It’s so easy to live in guilt,
Oh it’s so easy to live in guilt

Expectations Learnt
04:20

|
V. 1.
Well in the end, you buried them,
Just like I knew you would
Just like I knew you could
You point the finger; turn the blame, on everyone, but yourself.
V.2
It’s one rule for you, another for the others.
In a stream of hate,
In a stream of lies
You twist and turn; expectations learn, that you were only in it, for yourself.
CHORUS.
Why don’t you just grow up, grow up and accept it now, accept it anyhow.
Cause love doesn’t, love doesn’t, make hate right, make us fight.
V.3
It’s so strange, that you see your faults in everyone else, except yourself.
You can’t relate to the point,
Of wanting someone else,
Of needing someone else
CHORUS.
Why don’t you just grow up, grow up and accept it now, accept it anyhow.
Cause love doesn’t, love doesn’t, make hate right, make us fight.
BRIDGE.
After all these years, I finally understand, I finally understand, I understand what love is.
But after all these years, it’s taken its toil, yeah it’s taken its toil, yeah it’s taken its toil.
But after all these years, I understand what love is, I understand what love is, I understand.
CHORUS.
Why don’t you just grow up, grow up and accept it now, accept it anyhow.
Cause love doesn’t, love doesn’t, make hate right, make us fight.

Run From The Storm
04:26
|

|
V.1
It seems like a dream and I’m telling you why, goddamn son of a bitch.
Now you ain’t been nothing, except a thief and a hound,
My tolerance will no longer be inbound
I’m making it dutifully clear, you queer, that your days are near.
CHORUS
You better run for the shelter my son, you better run for the wind.
You better run for the desert my son, you better run from the storm.
BRIDGE
Cause if I find you touching the cattle, I’m gonna put a bullet in your brain.
V.2
Now I have taught you some things, and with it comes guilt
That I cannot deny
BRIDGE
But I would have snuffed you in your cradle, if I knew you were so able to fill the world with your hate
I’m making it clear you villain; this hot sun won’t wear me down.
CHORUS
You better run for the shelter my son, you better run for the wind.
You better run for the desert my son, you better run from the storm.
BRIDGE
Cause if I find you stealing shadows at night, I’m gonna smack you ‘fore you fly.
You’re a hard man to none, and a liar to some, and I won’t regret putting you down.
You stay away, you stay away from the evil around hear.
And if I find you lurking without right, I’ll smack you ‘fore you fly.
You stay away, you stay away from the evil around hear.
You stay away, you stay away from the evil around hear.
You stay away, you stay away from the evil around hear.
CHORUS X 2
You better run for the shelter my son, you better run for the wind.
You better run for the desert my son, you better run from the storm.

Bitter Man
04:56
|
|||
|
V.1
So the case and point,
The sniffer dog hunts for another soul
You might neglect my steady hand.
After all I’m just a bitter man.
V.2
I’m on the hunt for a fool,
Might just convert to you
Did you hear what Nietzsche said?
Apparently Jesus ain’t dead.
(intro rift)
V.3
Pawned for a crusade, and a neon grenade
Rapture sold his house for a Jesus sale,
Did you hear what Dylan said?
Apparently we can serve our thoughts
BRIDGE
Oh my love, do you see it? Do you see it?
We’re just waiting for our chance to ignite.
Oh my love, do you see it? Do you see it?
We’re just waiting for our chance to ignite.
(intro rift)
V.4
So the case and point,
The sniffer dog hunts for another soul
You might neglect my steady hand.
After all I’m just a bitter man.
