Hurricanes 02:44
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

Rise 02:54
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
3.
At The End 02:40
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
4.
Far & Away 02:57
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

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

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

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
