Headlines
Stop the press, isn’t the crisis evident
Nowhere to turn, we’ll sit and watch this city burn
If you were an ocean, I would be swimming in regret
Drowned in the loss, of sound
Stuck on the ropes, this time we’re taking off the gloves
Losing control, you gotta learned to take what you can get
It’s like we thought we’d find
Stealing the show, in time makeup that we know
When it arrives
The Headlines, makes us all look good
In our lives
The Headlines, captivates us all
If we survive
The Headlines, prepare to sell your soul
For the right price
Liars. Draped in vanity. Makeshift. Disguise.
Headlines(x2) makes us all look good
If we survive
The Headlines, prepare to sell your soul
Face the facts it’s hard enough to find it
On the front page

Scattering Pearls
Golden staircase leads my way
Never thought it, would ever come down
Believing these towers I build
Would ever falter, now they’re just falling away
And leave me, to be afraid
Never knowing, what it takes to get by
I seemed to, see things so clear
Always wondering, always wondering if it’s just a waste of time
As this world starts to dissolve
All these pearls we’re scattering
In the meantime, I found a way
To expose it, and to get mine
But they leave me, torn and so frail
Always falling, always falling again why?
As this world starts to dissolve
All that ends right feels so wrong
In my head I seem so strong
All these pearls we’re scattering
There’s a light(x2) not to this world
How to know(x2) we’re guessing
There’s a light(x3)
There’s a light meant to expose
And it’s worth it given time
As it makes us feels so raw
Only then you’ll know you’re
Stuck in the rough, feeling so trapped, like the day you fell
Between hardened dead emotion
Take me away (x2) from this hell
But the second you do
I’ll go running back for
Take control, take it all
Cause it feels right
Heinous thoughts are taking over
Take me away(x2) from this place
But the second you do(x2)
I’ll go running back for(x3) more

Chorus and Sustain
When the notes erode
Inspiration fades
Where it goes, no one cares
How the thoughts are formed
What the measure scores
Every phrase, then what remains?
Words never come to me
Grammatically
Hush little children don’t you worry so
It’s just enough to separate
The unison delivery
Everything is lost
Everything has changed
Chords with heavy note lack tonality
Every verse we chose
Nothing means a thing
Lost in the dissonance
What did I create?
How can I erase, how can I erase?
Chorus and Sustain
What did I create now? (x2 echo)
Close the open door like so many times before
So why can’t I walk through?
It’s been this way for such a long time
Past the point of recovery
No escape from the memories
Words can’t fix the broken seams
Release
To match the sounds are the enemy
Based it off sites I see
Make their reprise inside of me
I close my eyes and convey
Everything is lost
Everything has changed
Chords with heavy note tonality
Every verse we chose
Nothing means a thing
Lost in the dissonance
What did I create?
How can I erase, how can I erase?
Chorus and Sustain

1st Degree of Separation
You’re wrong, but you’re turning away
You look so innocent, deceivingly so
And I tried to walk away, but you’re stronger than you appear
I feel you pulling me towards the red
I gave you all that your heart desired, but you burned me like a flame
You lit me up like a funeral pyre, noting but ash remains
Burned with fire
Danced amongst the flames
My how the tables turn
You’ll get what you deserve
Is this how, you planned your escape?
No I don’t want to fight, with this demon inside
It ignites us so easily, but you snuffed my reality
Still feel you pulling me towards the…red
Just like a dream, from which you can’t wake up
Smoke fills my lungs. Soon you’ll bury me alive
Burned with fire
Danced amongst the flames
My how the tables turn
(Girl)You’ll get what you deserve(x2)

View of the Aftermath
It’s safe for us in here, cast all your worries aside
This weight will burden and leave you all alone
We’re counting down the years, to view the world outside
Locked inside this panic room while holding out until the end
Steady my hands before the weakness shows
Understanding what was never meant to hold
And knowing what I can’t control for long
The multitudes are driving a path, through the smoke that covers the clear
Smoldering fires through the day fills the night
Our conscious covers minds, from the constant expose to pain
Filling the spaces between the wounds
Over and over and over again
Steady my hands before the weakness shows
Understanding what was never meant to hold
And knowing what I can’t control for long
The ground is shaking
I close my eyes
Drifting back to the moment
Think of all time spent while awake with you

Relativity
And when it veers down the road, of your heart
Oh there’s cracks in the fault now
You had your way, right from the start
And if this stays, how you want, give it time
Oh it’s not how I thought things would remain
Feeling secure, with love on a string
With pen in his hand, and off of his head
Comes lyric replies from a list of demands
All for the breath we found, to restore
And if it’s still how you want, I’ll comply
Oh it’s not like you thought this wouldn’t change
Feelings are dulled, and rearranged
With pen in his hand, and off of his head
Comes lyric replies from a list of demands
Over the bridge
Burned down
It’s not like you fought, you can’t understand
We’re in this now
Holding the breath that we thought we found, to restore
Relativity
