You need someone To call your home But they don’t seem to come along Hold out No time to fall away Show me how far you’ve come Its cold out Head over to my place to toast us into this new day Chasing time The finish line Embers light the corners of your mind Fire’s gone Stove’s been turned in an address you never learned Hold my hand Take this chance Dig your brains out of the sand That they’re buried in Blood sweat amphetamine Speed up if you want peace Do it all while you still speak Everything for that sweet release of ecstasy Tell em all this is your best Not your fault if they think less of ya chase your thoughts till you see they’re lost at the cost of what comes next Do all I can A flash in the pan Here or there Your wish is my command Your words cut short Translated corpse Silence fell from that day forth Hold my hand Take this chance Dig your brains out of the sand That they’re buried in Blood sweat amphetamine speed up if you want peace Do it all while you still speak to me Everything for that sweet release of ecstasy that you need so desperately Tell em all this is your best Not your fault if they think less of ya chase your thoughts till you see they’re lost at the cost of what comes next Hold my hand Take this chance Dig your brains Out of the sands Hold my hand Take this chance Dig your brains out of the sands That they’re buried in Blood sweat amphetamine

Now go the way that i knew The path that’s charted for two Be careful as you move through This place was built for me and you I wonder if you’ll show me The kindness that you owe me For pulling me on slowly Just to lose me when the light gos I wonder if you’ll show me The kindness that you owe me For pulling me on slowly Just to lose me when the light go’s green

Pulling back a silken curtain One that moves with the wind All that strength put on display Yet no one looks in Passing souls they dart and dance Over the woven clouds The motion captured Lies hereafter no time to be found Wand’ring hairs pulled in between The weary face of disguise And all the laughter Not yet asked for let out in cries Why can’t you see What I believe Is the only sacrifice you’ll need What can I change Show me the way That will promise me escape Reveal your hidden desires The fearsome will of a child Why cant you see What I believe Is the only sacrifice you’ll need What can I change I need a change Oh Be my escape Make me new again Something worth looking at And I swear I’ll be happy then Climb As the tides rise higher As your mind grows tired As your fight your own fire It has to work this time Cause if it don't then I'll know Its all My fault Golden drops of lonesome musings Fall just short of the eyes Begging for reflection to draw one to its light Visions of unflinching focus shared by alternate kinds left alone to revel in The gifts of the blind Swirling fervor soon resurging At the bat of a wing Now fold over Whistleblower Birds cannot sing Arms grow weary as the fabric Burls its confident cry Giving up is Far too tough So hold your head high

Come and play with me In the worst way you know how Show the world Just how I’m doing now The way I see it darling It nothing more than sparking up A match Ready set catch It’s no time to hold back Don’t make me laugh Oh Open up to the world I’ve spun Here with open arms I’m painted in astrology Your deity is not for me Won’t catch me on my knees This body’s heavenly So take my advice and Come and see me now Spot me in the clouds Prove yourself to me Stargazer Tell me what you need I always aim to please Prove yourself to me Stargazer Woah woah come and see me now Spot me in the clouds Prove yourself to me Stargazer Tell me what you need I always aim to please Prove yourself to me Stargazer Stargazer come and see me Spot me in the Prove yourself to me Stargazer Tell me what you Always aim to Prove yourself to me Stargazer

Where am I Who am I Where am I Who Who am… I don’t see the problem anymore I can’t take the silence of this war I won’t talk much just touch Such cold hands They hold secrets That I don’t want to understand Whatever you need Is whatever I’ll be Lay me on the slab And start experiments on me Where am i Who am i Who is she Before me With my eyes Who is she She's so Cold freeze your teeth around my tongue Mold me between fingers and your thumbs Show Me the way to be the one So I don’t have to see what you’ve done to me What you’ve done to me What you’ve done to me WHOoo WHOooo I can barely recognize the beat Do you hear the heavy heavy heaves Of my heart plead Free me There’s no need To pull your knife out just to see that tenderness still bleeds Whatever you need What I’ll never be Oh Lay me on the slab Undo the horrors you have done to me Oh Oh Oh Oh hey yea yea yea Hey yea yea yea Hey yea yea yea oh oh oh oh Too far from where I started You’ve got my empty hearted I cant breathe on my own Since I felt your scalpel on my bones All alone Cant see me disappearing So lost in your glass ceiling My mind has left to rot The awful that I might have just been whole Cold freeze your teeth around my tongue Mold Me between fingers and your thumbs Show Me the way to be the one So I don’t have to see what you’ve done to me What you’ve done to me What you’ve done

Against a Moonlit Sky 05:28
lyrics

Against a moonlit sky, Everything appears to be alright But that look in your eyes Strikes a nerve and leaves me paralyzed Against a moonlit sky Nothing on earth could take me away from this night Spiraling, rising how can the darkness be so bright spiraling, spiraling Frozen eyes begin to cry How can the darkness be so… Against a moonlit sky, A dawning calm begins to tell its lies But those stars in your eyes, Shoot through the clouds and leave me mystified our great divide Try as i might i cannot make the stars shine quite as bright Can’t put up a fight This quiet town’s already sanctified Nowhere to hide Spiraling, confiding how can the darkness be so bright spiraling, spiraling Frozen eyes learn how to cry spiraling, dilating how can the darkness be so bright spiraling, spiraling darling let me dry your eyes spiraling, still rising find the darkness in the light spiraling, spiraling wish that i could say goodnight against a moonlit sky The world below breaks open and ignites and try as i might nothing on earth could let me escape from this night

Cursing the veins who made you Harmonies break out in two Now I won’t think of you this way With pity always there to blame Handed down from the moon That pious fool The ones who rules Your mind Memories lost despite you Those I forgot I had to To silence those who silenced you Oh how I’d hoped we’d start anew Yet still you dream Next to He who is cruel Beneath the room Of the one you never could rescue Now I wish I could say to you Our lonely home took not my youth These lies are all I know How can we grow when i still can’t trust you to know you’re not the one to blame I love you still I've turned out well Because of you Look to the moon I see it too Oh how I hope you feel me smile On you Thanking the one who made me Seeing the beauty she should see Now I wish that I could give to you The strength we must have took from you Handed down from the moon

Balanced on a wall A kingdom left to fall Governed by the word No time to be seen Justice cannot clean The tears from the unheard Unwind the clocks with hours to die Bow down to order break your spine For he and I You go whichever way you wish no tender kiss This paths been paved with iron fists Who never miss Mother knows it all Yet she can’t recall All that you’ve been through Not your home anymore Wish you’d left at the door The bridges you have burned She’s got no more to bleed You missed her gentle scream Come home to me Too long too long Don’t know this place But its all the same The streets are running all one way Their shadows frozen into place Their final moments gone to Wasting all my time beyond the gates What good have they done Their bodies shriveled in the sun Past the point of recognition I could only know Decay like this From what I’m running from Dear god its followed me Ive conjured misery There’s nothing here for me Save one that mercies Mercy Mercy mercy Save me Save me Save them all

Time May turn uncertain It always burns when You take the heat Time Won’t let you in So learn how to swim When waters all were breathing God knows All that we hope to be And leads us quietly So we may sin again Again Again No you won’t be long I got it wrong Forever’s never been that long At all Stargazer look to the sky The moon held high Lights up the night Hold my hand and soon well fly the heart restored That you will find i swear before this moonlit sky Just take me from this cursed night
