Creature (free) 02:53
If I brought you back Build the walls and say we have a home It's not that easily Done with what you're running from And if we could call it that You're awfully still and time's a loaded gun I've spent a lot of it Set to fix what's come undone I've been waiting for the right time But I've no heart to ask them Why they do all the things they do And if it's any consolation I'm my own creation And the same should apply to you Some things will never change Some things will never change... Some you can never change Can't shake their habits, rearrange The way they've made themselves to be Can't fix or rewrite history And no, it's not my place To mend mistakes, help you save face Or bring you back from where you lay A movie based on tragedy I've been waiting for the right time But I've no heart to ask them Why they do all the things they do And if it's any consolation I'm my own creation And the same should apply to you Some things will never change Some things will never change...

Accused and written off, to start And the way you talk to me is not an art I need to take the time to grieve but there's something that keeps holding me It's all telling me to let it go, Before you carry it around for another hundred years I hear my own voice saying let it go, You better make yourself before you disappear Eh eh, eh we're all the Eh eh, eh we're all the I'd built a prison in my mind But I've paid my dues, I'm done doing my time I used to think it was your fault But we've all got our own source to blame We're all different and still the same It's all telling me to let it go, Before you carry it around for another hundred years I hear my own voice saying let it go You better make yourself before you disappear Eh eh, eh we're all the Eh eh, eh we're all the Eh eh, eh we're all the Eh eh, eh we're all the same

You've finally arrived and it all feels like a test You give it a try, but you're always second best When everyone is tempting you to look just like all the rest They ask you to play, when surrender is the game And no one likes to lose, so in turn you hide your shame Behind matching eyes in the lost face of the masses I would like to take the time to remind you Some say I'm a mess but the message is clear These are the things that have led me to here Stand up, fight perfection What is all the obsession Take off the mask of regret And look just like you The unknown is killing me But it's all I ever knew With no clue to where I'm going Just know what I'm going through Will I ever get there? It's just something I must do I would like to take the time to remind you Some say I'm a mess but the message is clear These are the things that have led me to here Stand up, fight perfection What is all the obsession Take off the mask of regret And look just like you I would like to take the time to remind you Some say I'm a mess but the message is clear These are the things that have led me to here I would like to take the time to remind you some say I'm a mess but the message is clear These are the things that have led me to here These are the things that have led me to here Stand up, fight perfection What is all the obsession Take off the mask of regret And look just like you Stand up, fight perfection What is all the obsession Take off the mask of regret And look just like you These are the things that have led me to here These are the things that have led me to here These are the things that have led me to here These are the things that have led me to here

I've got blood on my teeth and I'm feeling pretty weak There's a vicious moon that's weighing down on me I'm a lady with a plan but you would not understand Take the bait and hook, escape it narrowly Gonna raise all the dead till you hear the things I've said Come around, and want to stay But you don't see what's here and you've made it pretty clear And I don't play I don't play So what do you say? So what do you say? You're a jerk, I'm a tease but that's all old news to me Can we please escape the torment and be friends You forgot our history cause at one time we agreed Share the misery and hopefully rewarded in the end Gonna raise all the dead till you hear the things I've said Come around and want to stay But you don't see what's here and you've made it pretty clear And I don't play I don't play I've gotta be so strong now Gonna stick to my guns somehow Gonna breath Gonna break the day So what do you say? So what do you say? Now you see where I stand And it's time you lend a hand Follow my lead but it won't always be this way I've got plenty left to say Made my claims now what remains Is the answer to my question I have yet to hear you say Gonna raise all the dead till you hear the things I've said Come around and want to stay But you don't see what's here and you've made it pretty clear And I don't play I don't play I've gotta be so strong now Gonna stick to my guns somehow Gonna breath Gonna break the day So what do you say? There's no turning back No, we've made it this way We've made it this way So what do you say? So what do you say?

I've relied much of my own desire on the promising songs that you sing Lure me in, sink or swim, "water's fine dive right in" Your leap of faith will make you or break you But they glide by just fine as I'm buying my time Sinking fast from the weight of my worries Maybe it's not the plan, I should quit while I can Let my dreams fizzle out in a fury Watch them leap when they fall With no care at all I falter and then I go under It's not as shallow as it appears Gotta keep my head above water It's a shared compromise I don't see in your eyes And it's killing the hope that I'm feeling So you want it like me? Well let go, let it be Let it show you just what it's revealing It's the game of compare and they're really not there It's the fall that I fear and it's near me The desire is calling my name and I know when I fall that I won't be the same Watch them leap when they fall with no care at all I falter and then I fall under It's not as shallow as it appears Gotta keep my head above water I don't want to believe That I'm not anything Just give me the chance I'm begging, please Watch them leap when they fall with no care at all I falter and then I fall under It's not as shallow as it appears Gotta keep my head above water

You took my hand, led me sweetly Past the shape I used to be Life was headed no direction Stayed on track you guiding me But you were going round in circles Round and round in front of me Oh you're so holy Just like a good circle should be And oh you're so holey That you've made a square right out of me On this path I was shaped greatly Made amends that cut so deep You had mirrored my obsessions Dealt with them, discovered me But still you're going round in circles Where's the line between stuck and free? Oh you're so holy Just like a good circle should be And oh you're so holy That you've made a square right out of me You see shapes disguise They're not always right About what lies underneath He's a circle, true But a square would do What's the best fit for me? Oh you're so holy Just like a good circle should be And oh you're so holy That you've made a square right out of me Oh you're so holy

Time & Teresa (free) 02:57
Take me back Take me to where I've been before Down these halls, in these rooms, on this marble floor I never ever thought, no don't do it Take me back (take me back) Take me to where I want to go To the days and the nights that I used to know I never ever thought you'd go through it Time time time Teresa stop You can still have just one more chance Time time time Teresa stop You can still have just one more dance Take me back Take me to where I've changed your fate Don't be blind, waste my time I don't want to wait You know you had me there and you blew it Take me back (take me back) Take me to where I've never been The unknown, back at home, let the time begin I want to see you there won't you prove it Time time time Teresa stop You can still have just one more chance Time time time Teresa stop You can still have just one more dance Time time time Teresa stop You can still have just one more chance Time time time Teresa stop You can still have just one more dance

Siren Song 02:52
Sings to me something sweet Like a beating inside my skull Telling me what I want to hear But I really don't want to hear it all She's got six strings down her neck She plays better than all before And everything that she plays for me Comes with a price and much more I don't want it I don't wanna go back But I really don't want to stay I got five fingers wrapped around her neck And all she wants to do is play I don't want it I don't wanna go back But I really don't want to stay I got five fingers wrapped around her neck And all she wants to do is play She calls through the night Till the morning inside her case She's crying at me till I let her out Then she puts me into my place When I've had it, let me be I pawn her off to a friend or foe But she keeps coming back to me And I don't have the heart to tell her no I don't want it I don't wanna go back But I really don't want to stay I got five fingers wrapped around her neck And all she wants to do is play I don't want it I don't wanna go back But I really don't want to stay I got five fingers wrapped around her neck And all she wants to do is play

Thieves 03:03
A dark and stormy night two thieves were at my door Broke the lock, let themselves in They saw exactly what they were looking for Stole the goods and stole my grin But what they got from me was more than what they bargained for What you see ain't what you get They shoot the shot that you won't forget Those seeds you sow, you will regret They shoot the shot that you won't forget This camera was unlike any seen before Take the shot and say a prayer What it reveals to you is out of your control What you see? Well, you're not prepared But now my burdens gone It's left to you so I'll move on What you see ain't what you get They shoot the shot that you won't forget Those seeds you sow, you will regret They shoot the shot that you won't forget If you're going to be cruel just remember That it all comes back to you See it's out of my hands And into someone new It feels so good, I must confess And even better yet What you see ain't what you get They shoot the shot that you won't forget Those seeds you sow, you will regret They shoot the shot that you won't forget

It is the light I fear that carries me inside And the darkness drawing near, in it's comfort I abide This ever-growing "no" from the day I learned to leave You don't ask me not to go when you speak We're both so lost and broken Guided by words unspoken We may be better off alone It is the blood of kings That moves within my veins Take the name away from me But their mark will still remain You ask me not to be sensitive to what you say The light inside has made me this way We're both so lost and broken Guided by words unspoken We may be better off alone We're both so lost and broken Guided by words unspoken We may be better off alone We may be better off alone I may be better off alone

I've got the weight of the world on my shoulders All through the day I take it with me And under the moon I make room on my pillow Place it beside it resides while I sleep Give me one hope and I'll trade you for twenty Tell me all your fears and I'll keep them inside I'll make a nice home next to all of my own And I'll worry for you til the day that I die I've got my reasons to feel like I do You can't take them from me Cause it's what I've been through I've got the gaze of the lost and the lonely Treading the waves of what's distant and blue If you say to me you're my one and my only Not sure I'd believe even if it were true Give me one hope and I'll trade you for twenty Tell me all your dreams and I'll keep them inside I'll make a nice home next to all of my own And I'll worry for you til the day that I die I've got my reasons to feel like I do You can't take them from me Cause it's what I've been through If I made you see what it feels like inside Would you worry, worry for me 'Til the day that I die

We always leave like it's our last goodbye I see you stare from the spot where you stand Burnt on the tongue and the sting in the eyes We fight like lovers who don't understand I walk to work with your words on my mind Bites at the memory of what used to be If I had my way well I'd go back in time Fix all the problems that took you from me I'm still here after it all Through the night I can still hear you call It's your voice that haunts me inside It's your voice that keeps me alive You're still here after it all Through the night I can still hear you call It's your voice that haunts me inside It's your voice that keeps me alive We're still here after it all Through the night I can still hear you call It's your voice that haunts me inside It's your voice that keeps me alive We're still here after it all Through the night I can still hear you call It's your voice that haunts me inside It's your voice that keeps me alive We always leave like it's our last goodbye
