Oh mama, tell 'em I am sorry You know I just had to go I mean these people all are crazy But it's nothing personal Oh with their eyes all like Medusas Kisses as Judas' I try to remain optimistic But if feels like foolishness They say the truth will set you free I find sometimes so will lies It's hard to see your enemies when all your friends are in disguise So mama tell 'em I am sorry I just had to let 'em go I mean these people all are crazy But you know I love them so Okay okay I'll pay back karma One day when I find out what's really right and wrong And not just somebody's opinion

I'll prepare for a lonely summer Everyone's gone, I start to wonder Where have I been? Where do I go? This endless cycle is losing all control There are ignored questions, unanswered follies Seriously compromised but it's no one's fault, see? How about a hand for the one in the back for making sure to stay right on track Repeat x1

Mythomania 03:33
Came and gone but the days were so long Only somber songs from the lonesome ride home In my dreams I found what in the days I couldn't see One day I woke to still find it all with me And I don't know what's been getting in the way But I've come to find this discontent is sinful And I made a mess of something really quite simple Watching fields fold up while they were still growing Put a penny in my pocket just to see if it would stay Now I found I wished all my cents away And I still look down at my empty pockets now and then Now I know I won't wish for anything again And I don't know what's been getting in the way But I've come to find this discontent is sinful And I made a mess of something really quite simple Watching fields fold up while they were still growing Mythomania When will we learn? x3

Decanter 03:23
"Put down your weapons of war!," cried Mr. Alexander Raise your glass and pour from this decanter Fuel my desire, spread it like wildfire Eventually we'll both end up in this desolate mire It's a matter of fermentation, degradation A large price to pay for this instant sensation One step off of the right track Simple, selfish humans; we're bound to crack Helpless victim you are not It's not a battle you have sought Let go, let flow Past resentments are all you've got My rock has hit bottom Lucky for me I'd forgotten I raise that decanter like nothing's the matter These causes connect to the root As if I didn't know the truth

If you could feel the way I feel Every time you walk away If I could only make you stay Darling, I'd remind you of everything Call me out right here, right now Take your time, don't be too proud When you think you're right you talk so loud You'd see why there are pieces left of me Why you can't seem to let them be Whispering truths and screaming lies Nightmares turn to lullabies I'll still wait with an open mind If you'd like, you are welcome inside You'd see why there are pieces left of me Why you can't seem to let them be

Leviathan 02:15
Will time be kind to me x3 or malign my deeds? Will you always love me x3 or is forever just a word? Al-andalusia I see you in my dreams Leviathan, violence won't find you peace Enough of this selfishness x3 Think of others
7.
Cracks 03:26
I can love I can open these cracks to a perfect fit for you And just you to crawl inside To coincide On that Sunday when we fell into each other's eyes and souls so well Our dispositions interlocking A genuine time but ever so fleeting And this ocean, this vast piece of terrain The only source of such deep restrain But if I, if I had the reigns I'd come to you if you still felt the same When you walked away that night I knew we'd probably never win the fight But still I hold onto that inkling that such a small time held such bigger meaning And this ocean, this vast piece of terrain The only source of such deep restrain But if I, if I had the reigns I'd come to you if you still felt the same My dear come to me x4

So Tightly 02:38
I have nothing but the truth for you I have nothing but the truth I have nothing but love for you darling, darling Nothing but you No, no, no It's so hard to say goodbye to you It's so hard to say goodbye No, no, no It's so hard to say goodbye to you It's so hard to say goodbye when you're holding on So tightly to what you'd like to be, love. x2

Holy Jam 03:46

Heavy Soul 04:49
I'll love you from a distance The path of least resistance I'll easily dismiss it as merely coincidence I'll harden my heart Refuse to fall apart The urge to escape my protected environment If the soul could be weighed How heavy would yours be? It's this pressure that keeps building So relentless, so unyielding Out of sight, out of mind A luxury I know I'll find Quite obsolete yet quite daunting Deeply yearning but not worth wanting
11.
Stars aligning, residing, colliding Substance is fleeting Ambition stops beating These soul ties are cut Life's been far too depleting Greens and blues of luscious landscapes The truth is where you feel safe to escape The high and lows are blissful blows A disguised blessing too mindless to show I'd rather be flowing than stagnant A fixation, not just a fragment Tell me how you deal with your demons So we could prepare for the ominous treason The earth is our beating heart Yet we proceed to tear it apart Never a challenge to take it for granted Soon you will reap the seeds you have planted Coming, going Reaping, sowing Faster and bleaker Here comes the reaper
