Defiance
04:34
|

Sweet words won't stop me
From cursing you again and again
My cold heart won't feel a thing when I defy, defy
You. Why do you fight my defiance, my oblivion
You, you, why do you resist my resistance to your
My oblivion
Defiance keeps me alive
Reliance, that's when I die
Defiance keeps me alive
Desires mock me
Exposing me again and again
My cold heart won't help me defy, defy
Oooh love why do you fight my defiance with a love song
You, you, why do you resist my resistance to your love song
Defiance keeps me alive
Reliance, that's when I die
Defy me, defy me, defy me
My oblivion
Defiance keeps me alive
Reliance, that's when I die
Defiance keeps me from harm
Defiance is my love song
When you sing me a lullaby all I hear is a forever bye-bye
When you write me a love song all I hear is a forever bye-bye
When you tell me what your heart wants all I hear is a forever bye-bye
When you sing me a lullaby all I hear is a forever Good night
Your song won't save me from this lullaby
Your sweet Good night
Defiance keeps me alive
Reliance, that's when I die
Defiance keeps me from harm
Defiance is my love song
Defiance keeps me alive
Reliance, that's when I die
Defy me with all your lullabies
Defy me with your love song

Field Of Scars
04:26
|
|||
Roses are red
Violence is blue
Pain grows in gardens tended by you
Hold me tight
Pick me but know that thorns impale, poisons get stronger
So torn
I am thistle I am thorn I am belladonna
Poison seeds will grow
I close my eyes
Weed my field of scars
I am thistle I am thorn I am belladonna
Can you say
Do I reap or do I sow when I weed my field of scars
Whispering willows
Ivy love, Ivy come
Come feed this pyre tended by you
Hold me tight
Adore me but know that thorns will sting, poisons grow stronger
So torn
I am thistle I am thorn I am belladonna
Poison seeds will grow
Weed my field of scars
I am thistle I am thorn I am belladonna
Can you say
Do I reap or do I sow when I weed my field of scars
Is there still life on a field of scars
Hold me tight, make it right
When I weed my field of scars
When I touch the pain
Hold me tight
I remember when
Make it right
But this is now not then
Is there still life on a field of scars
So torn
I am thistle I am thorn I am belladonna
Poison seeds will grow
I close my eyes
Weed my field of scars
I am thistle I am thorn I am belladonna
Can you say
Do I reap or do I sow when I weed my field of scars

Dissonance
05:31
|
|||
I said "Hi" I said "Hello" I said "I think that I need you"
You said "Hey" you said sure, "What do you need me for?"
I said "Oh, never mind, I don't know, I don't know, I'll just do it on my own"
Hello
It takes two to pitch a proper fight
It takes two to propagate a lie
It takes two to ask a question
But only one to say no
It takes two to play a proper game
It takes two to make someone believe
It takes two to build a connection
But only one to shut it down
At the end of the day I just wanted someone to know me
At the end of my song I am dissonant
At the edges I'm frayed
At the end of the night I just wanted somewhere to belong
A place where I can always go
At the end of the day I just wanted you to hear me
In my dissonance
Hello
It takes two to pitch a proper fight
It takes two to validate a lie
It takes two to make a friendship
But only one to let it die
It takes two to play a proper game
It takes two to make someone believe
It takes two to build a connection
But only one to shut it down
At the end of the day I just wanted someone to care that I feel
At the end of my line
I don't know what's beyond here
Beyond here
At the end of the day I just wanted someone to know me
At the end of the day I just want to know I matter
To you
Hello
It takes two to pitch a proper fight
It takes two to propagate a lie
It takes two to change perception
But only one to see it my way
It takes two to play a proper game
It takes two to make someone believe
It takes two to build a connection
But only one to break it down
The separation is all mine
Anxiety is blind
I know in my mind, you're all around
But at the end of the day it's just me, myself, and I
In your voice I hear reason
In your absence I hear treason
After all, that's what I came to know
Hello
It takes two to start another fight
It takes two to ease somebody's fright
It takes two to make perfection
But only one to deny
It takes two to pick a different game
It takes two to build another faith
It takes two to build a connection
But only one to shut it down
I said Hi I said Hello I said I think that I need you
You said Hey you said sure what do you need me for
I said Hi I said Hello I said I think that I need you
Hello

Descent
04:11
|
|||
What did you write in that chart
Is it the be end be all
Don't look at me, I'm diagnosed
The evolution of my self-delusion, I'm suspicious of this probe in my mind
Don't look at me, I am a diagnose
Look it up in the book then name my pain
Gimme my, gimme my, gimme my
Diagnose me
Give me a name for what's wrong with me
Tell me
Label my descent
What I've done wrong
But let me do what I've got to do
Sedate me
Once you've branded me
Remind me
Once you've labeled me
Cause I am wrong
It's the beginning of the end
What's in the pill
Is it a miracle
Give me some therapy I need a diagnose
I have to see what's wrong in my head
You say I'm crushing on my self-destruction but I think you're just a voice in my mind
Just a voice
Just another voice
Don't look at me I've got a diagnose
Look it up in the book then name my pain
Gimme my, gimme my, gimme my
Diagnose me
Give me a name for what's wrong with me
Tell me
Label my descent
What I've done wrong
Then let me do what I've got to do
Sedate me
Once you've branded me
Remind me
Once you've labeled me
Insane
Cause I am wrong
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end of my descent
What's in the pill
Is it a miracle
It's the beginning of the end
The beginning of the end of my descent
You've got the power of words so label me insane
It's all that you know to do
But this is life and I am real
And that's why you can't save me
Diagnose me
Give me a name for what's wrong with me
Tell me
Label my descent
What I've done wrong
Then let me do what I've got to do
Sedate me
Once you've branded me
Remind me
Once you've labeled me
Why I am wrong
It's the beginning of the end
Label my descent
Label me insane
Label my descent
Label me insane

Perfectly Sane
03:58
|

When you want me I am perfectly sane
When you want me I am perfect, I'm sane
I talk to memories in my head
I turn around, they're not the same
Maybe there's a demon in this frame
When you want me that's the frame I'm in
I talk to shadows I become a shade
In this black light it's perfectly sane
Maybe it's the way you see me watching you watching me
That's when you want me
And this is what I know
You took your time did you
Enjoyed my crying did you know I know now
The only time you want me is when I'm broken
You put me right did you
The only time you want me is when I'm broken
When I'm broken
When I'm broken
Poisons
Taken
Broken
Tie me down or let me go
There's nothing in-between the two
Let me know
Can I walk, can I talk, am I allowed to live
That's when you want me
And this is what I know
You took your time did you
Enjoyed my crying
Did you ever know
The only time you want me is when I'm broken
It took my life to learn you don't matter
Watch me now
I'd like to see you try to break me now
Cause I'm not the same, not the same, not the same
I'm done crying
This is a new day
With open skies
And I'm on my way, on my way, on my way
So watch me go
You'll be breaking me down, you'll be breaking me down no more
Break me down, hold me
Hold me down, embrace me
It's so clear
The only time you want me is when I'm broken
You took your time then told me how you made me
It's so clear
The only time you want me is when I'm broken
Broken, I was broken, I was sane
That's how you want me, how you want me
I talk to memories in my head
My body speaks; it speaks of pain
Maybe I'm the demon in this frame
I think I'm stuck with the shame
I talk to shadows I become a shade
In this black light it's perfectly sane
When you want me that's who I am
I am perfectly sane

Fragile
05:01
|

I need those fingers tighter oh oh oh
I choke on tainted air but I'm still drawn to satisfy
Is that my blood on the floor
Like I need your pity oh my pretty oh my
Your need rips into me
I can feel the freedom when I obey so I obey you
Embrace my whip and cane
Is that my blood on your face
Like I need your pity oh my pretty oh my
I'm torn, gone
Who am I
I'm worn, done
Just like all of my
My dreams where I
I'm fragile still
Still your fragile affectation
You say
You say I'm lost without you but I'm just alone
You say I want you when I obey when I belong
Soothe my torn libido
Is that your blood on my tongue
I can taste your bitter oh my pretty oh my
What time does morning come when nights last forever
What shape does love take when stains last forever
What time do mornings come when nights last forever
And when does love die
And how can love, can love
I'm torn, gone
Who am I
I'm worn, done
Just like all of my
My dreams where I
I'm fragile still
Still your fragile affectation
Lay me down on foreign floors
Tell me you want me
Oh my pretty oh my
I will soar at your beck and call
Tell me you need me
Oh my pretty oh my
Silence me
I need these voices to fade away
Make me believe you
Give me a different face
Oh my pretty
Once I come around
I'm torn, gone
Who am I
I'm worn, done
Just like all of my
My dreams where you
You're fragile still
Still my fragile expectation
