It's hard to wake when all I feel is anguish I've gotta be Braver I never thought I'd see you fall asleep forever It's all real, the inner voices Your spirit wandered away from all that you love You never meant it Your spirit wandered away too soon and young We'll never relive I'm finding ways to deal with all the emptiness The writings on the wall are cardinal and runic It's all real, the inner voices Your spirit wandered away from all that you love You never meant it Your spirit wandered away too soon and young We'll never relive You're a stranger hollowing my heart and purpose Following the voices of your lost It's all real, the inner voices Your spirit wandered away from all you love You never meant it Your spirit wandered away too soon and young You'll never relive

Faceless 03:08
Feel your whispering send shivers down my body Taking what I want from someone else's daughter yet I can't feel her at all I'll try and avoid it cause she is all I see But they have coveted my innocence with inviting sights and lonely nights She is faceless in the positions where you used to lay Satisfying my desires of the skin Forgotten in the morning light I'll try and avoid it cause she is all I see But they have coveted my innocence with inviting sights and lonely nights 
When I can’t feel her at all 
 I've set aside my morals and fallen into sin Objectifying someone to taste their salty skin When all along, I've wanted your love The thought of never being so close When all along I've wanted your love – if only once again I'll try and avoid it cause she is all I see But they have coveted my innocence with inviting sights and lonely nights

I'm afraid that you've gone hollow Using fantasy to void your sorrow I pulled you closer Now, I see that the absence of your love was never intent as you ran away 
 To the arms of grasping demons As they whisper words of malice I pulled you closer Now, I see that the absence of your love was never intent as you ran away 
 Into the only life you've ever known You sacrificed our love and our home You promised me I'd never be alone again Stay away, you'll never love me again To the newer you may you know that I forgive you To the newer you, may you find love I pulled you closer Now, I see that the absence of your love was never intent as you ran away To the newer you may you know that I forgive you To the newer you, may you find love

Wooden Heart 03:20
Imprisoned by your love Within your reach, but never closer I long to taste your skin again; revealing all of our lost affection And I remember when you left against your promises You sailed away to far away places I'm praying as a castaway into this salty dream 
You're drifting ever further into nothing And I remember when you left against your promises You sailed away. Too far. It's hard for me to talk about, the way things were For me to carry on and sink my Wooden Heart I'll wash away the memories into these deep dark waters
5.
If only I could forget who you were You were the girl in green It started as a message that I should have never read I slowly fell for the lovely flowing red The way you breathe the very air If only I could forget who you were You were the girl in green I found you in my dreams And I don't recognize you anymore Chasing love in the tides of the ocean They'll swallow you under If only I could forget who you were You were the girl in green I found you in my dreams and you let me in You let me in and I never left

Legacy 03:12
I wanted to hear you say The ember in your eyes is burning away I wanted to feel it all The violence of your love And you'll never see the difference in me I'll silently be awaiting your amnesty I still remember sitting in your car With broken glass I carved my way out of your heart I only needed time to grow And you'll never see the difference in me I'll silently be awaiting your amnesty The only thing that I regret is not responding fast enough Or realizing that I was losing my everything Now you'll never see the difference in me I'll silently be awaiting your amnesty We lost our legacy
7.
Time's End 03:07
I saw you wandering among the glowing lights Your eyes were coloured by the product of a knife I've followed your heart far too long The journey ends in promises that withered long ago And we will never know the conversations of growing in our skin The approaching victims of time and sin I've followed your heart far too long The journey ended short I've followed your heart to the edge of Earth The journey ends in promises that withered long ago But now, I know the ignorance of hoping you were another But now, I know But now, I know the answer I've finally realized the truth was in your eyes I've followed your heart far too long The journey ended short I've followed your heart into the edge of Earth The journey ends with us I've followed your heart far too long The journey ended short I've followed your heart into the edge of Earth The journey ends in promises that withered long ago

Braver 03:23
Reality is taking over The emptiness of our house reverberates with the voices of the dead I fell apart again, for the last time The scenery has slowly faded Shades of grey where once was sated The colours of the world have paled away, until another love I realize the implication of following your words But I can't help at all Even though, through the seasons, you have proven your weakness The scenery has slowly faded Shades of grey where once was sated The colours of the world have paled away, until another love I never thought I'd ever say that I've reached the point where I've accepted That you and I will have to live with a future we will never know The scenery has slowly faded Shades of grey where once was sated The colours of the world have paled away until another love
