Track Name: Hurricanes
Just get in, shut the door
Fifteen hours, never more
Can't look up, pain & love
Like she doesn't give a fuck
She can't see it working out
Poison spilling out her mouth
Burning holes into me as the snow is falling down on these

Hurricane winds
Carry shuriken eyes
Sharpens my hate
Consuming this life

She did it to me
She made up her mind
Got out of this place
And left me behind

Why can't I breathe?
Why can't I fight?
Why can't I see what I can do
To set all of these fallen wrongs right

It so easily
Broke here tonight
No melody can fix her running
Away to start a new life

Pen in hand, sign the page
Suck it up, act your age
It doesn't matter anyway
You gotta tell em you're to blame

Walk away, hit the floor
Punch a wall, no remose
Fuck these letters, burn them all
The fire's sending smoke into the

Hurricane winds
Carry shuriken eyes
Sharpens my hate
Consuming this life

She did it to me
She made up her mind
Got out of this place
And left me behind

Stand and fight
Winter's gone
You've got your life
So just hold on

Stand and fight
There's nothing wrong
You made it through
Hold on to me
Grab my hand
And we will see
The sun will rise
You made it through
I'm holding on to you
Track Name: Rise
It falls apart
Your heart to pain
The sun will rise
You will breathe again

I thought I had it all
Figured out, problem solved
Had the girl, had the world
Didn't matter what was wrong

When I looked down at my hand
And I saw the ring was on
See the issues disappear
I wouldn't be around for long

So long, I ain't coming back guys
I'm moving on
That's what I was saying for months
Until she proved me wrong

Everything she said in my past?
Forget it - gone is gone
Remove the thorn, fuck the pain
You know the words, sing along

It falls apart
Your heart to pain
The sun will rise
You will breathe again

When you come back to nothing
Nothing is what you got
When you have nobody
All you can do is sit and rot

Curtains drawn, people calling
Checking in, "is something wrong?"
Yeah there's fucking something wrong
I've been dead since she's been gone

What I did or didn't do
I'll never know just what was true
Maybe I just fucked it all up
Without saying a word

But things I haven't heard
Can't hurt me now
Because I'm moving on
I see the sun coming up behind the clouds

It falls apart
Your heart to pain
The sun will rise
You will breathe again
Track Name: At The End
Here now at the end
Waiting to begin
Sung the song of mine
Awaiting your reply

That is never to come
As the sea beckons the sun
To fall and rise again
These final words I send

You had all of me
And you felt like destiny
In the end it was a lie
And so I say goodbye

So at the edge I stand
A stronger smarter man
From what you put me through
And so farewell to you

The wind it calls of home
And I know I'm not alone
Yes I will go on
After a year you're finally gone
Track Name: Far & Away
Far and away, you're by my side
I see your face when I close my eyes
And when it's cold I'm holding you tight
From Far and away, from Far and away

First time, eyes locked - I can't see straight
Dark hair, dark eyes - darken my way
No game, no chance, know she's taken
Just stop now, boy - you're mistaken

She's got another, she's got a lover
Better than you and ten times stronger
Don't make a move or you'll just flounder
I know I'm in love now that I've found her

Far and away, you're by my side
I see your face when I close my eyes
And when it's cold I'm holding you tight
From Far and away, from Far and away

Long time later, undecided
Please don't speak just try to hide it
I know you're leaving but I wonder
How I could be with another

Girls come and girls go
Love can sometimes never grow
Make excuses all you want
But when you meet your wife you just know

Far and away, you're by my side
I see your face when I close my eyes
And when it's cold I'm holding you tight
From Far and away, from Far and away
Track Name: Ghosts & Honesty
It's enough to make you sick
It's just life down in the pit
It's a shame but so you know I'm here and you're not alone

Carry on and break all this pain
Let the demons work through your brain
Sleep it off and start a new day by your side and here I'll stay

Ghosts and honesty
Can't set me quite right
So I take the blame
And give up the fight
Cause you're killing me
Murdering my life
Cold anxiety on a winter's night

Nights inside holding your hand
Everything's going as planned
Feeling the touch of your kiss like cyanide, poisonous

Toxicate suffer the gloom
She alone darkens the room
A dying flower that never bloomed poison petals gone, consumed

Ghosts and honesty
Can't set me quite right
So I take the blame
And give up the fight
Cause you're killing me
Murdering my life
Cold anxiety on a winter's night
Track Name: I Forgot Your Name
This is not waiting
This is a sonnet
Wreck it up fading
Fuck it we're falling

Care at all baby
Focused and honest
Just part of your game
Part of your promise

Now you're away
Fallen out on us
I'm here to stay
Fading collosus

Embedded in stone
Callous for all this
Shadows am I
Dark and enormous

I forgot your name

Heaven stop waiting
Sins are my calling
Smile as she's dying
Flesh it is rotting

Never engaging
Beaten and scarring
Fuck if I'm living
Down where you're starving

Hold on it's about to fall
Down where all the bad things are
Hold on it's about to fall
Down where all the bad things are

I forgot your name
Track Name: Remorse (Canon)
As I go on
I remember
How my life changed
Last December

When you left me
For whoever
Thinking we won't
Stay together

Here's a song I
Wrote in august
About your well being
And your promise

I cannot wish you well
Because the leaves all died
As if they could somehow tell
My heart was breaking
My hands were shaking

Nights of drinking myself to sleep
Sweating oceans of pure anxieties
What I had a done
Did I kill this love

Now I know you are gone
And I admit I've mostly moved on
But you should know
I've got to let you know

Take this to your grave
The love you threw away

So this it, now you're gone
Everything we had was wrong
It was flawed, and I hope that where you are
You've got a life and it's nice
I can't lie, fixed it on your second try
So goodbye and I hope you get it right
