Serenity Now 01:01
SERENITY NOW SERENITY NOW I’m on the search for some peace If only you could help me, please I’ve searched for days, through sleepless nights Can you tell I’m dying for it? The search won’t end, the search won’t stop Determined still, until I drop It’s hard to bare, it’s hard to cope Can you tell I’m dying for it? Find the light through these trying times Find the light SERENITY NOW SERENITY DYING FOR IT

Dear No-One 01:03
You’ve got something I can’t stand You’ve got something I don’t have You’ve got it so bad, you’ve got it so bad, you’ve got it so bad Tongue wraps round your teeth to my disgust Builds barriers and you’re oblivious Destroyed my conception and distances us It’s a word that I hate to project HONESTLESSNESS— Your brand of dishonesty Dressed as a sheep, you lead others to think that you are something YOU ARE NOTHING I see through it, I see through you
3.
In this day and age I am living in— The age of excuses; I have found more and more Nothing will be good enough, nothing will be right I am not the problem, the excuse will satisfy They are wrong, I am Right or am I really just as much to blame One foot before the other, but when I reach that step Head looks down turned a- Way because the unknown will catch me out of breath Afraid of all my failure, collapsed from the weight Regaining control, breaking insecurities Keep telling myself that I’m beyond help, and I can’t do anything to control myself My heart is racing ‘cause I know I’m wrong Notions of liberation haunt me
4.
Spark 00:56
Hardwired for connection Built into our physiology Sometimes I feel the spark And it ignites the fire Searching and yearning Always left unfulfilled Simmering out almost instantly Disconnect is all around Small talk bullshit Drama and mistakes Connection is rare—rarely genuine And all I feel is alone
5.
Catalyst 01:41
TRUE DEVOTION is what I always give No matter what the bounty, my heart’s always in So when I get fucked over, the joke ends up on you Taking this misfortune, MAKE ANEW Send me the apocalypse and I swear I’ll see you through Give me all your bullshit; I’ll make a fool of you You’re a fucking coward, hiding in success It means nothing when you forget who made you best Say I’ll fail without you, put me to the test I’m like a fucking cockroach, never laid to rest Giving my all comes back to break you Living through this is sure to shake you So let me be your catalyst So let me be your catalyst
6.
Visions 01:35
After all that we’ve been through You’d think that we can see this through You tell me I need to change But I don’t think we see the same Is it me that sees things just so out of focus? What will it take to make it, make it, MAKE IT CLEAR? So much time between us The things I’ve done would make you proud But you’re too blind to notice Too worried with your crowd VISIONS, VISIONS, VISIONS, VISIONS OF YESTERDAY You ignore so you don’t see the goals set out and met by me The life I lead is not for you, your vision’s only got you skewed I can’t believe I spent my time on someone who left me behind A friendship that once meant the world, neglect has left me asking How can you write me off? I feel that I’m not enough for you to stay I think that I’ve had enough I try to look up, but things just seem the same I’ve made up my mind today Look away from the past and on to what is next My vision has lead me here Away from you, my vision is finally clear
7.
These wall grow taller and more thick You’d think I’m keeping something out, but I’m trapping myself in Forever in my darkness is where I’m most at home These demons start to wake to comfort my known heart To conquer what I thought they’d lost, but only put on hold These demons they can’t leave me, they can only hope To hide because I’ve built these walls FOR SO LONG All my pain is trapped inside So what’s the use in talking? My inner voice understands me best What’s the use in reaching? Will I get a helping hand? So what’s the use in talking? My inner voice understand me best What’s the use in reaching? I forgot how to feel anything more than pain I’m aware the thoughts I have plague my mind Consuming my reality it seems surreal Just a vicious cycle Caught in a sinkhole of my own self-worth I’m going under by the weight of these poisonous thoughts I can’t shake this—Finding myself getting weaker and weaker The older I get, the further I drown These walls grow taller BRICK BY BRICK These walls grow taller BRICK BY BRICK Betray my heart, devalue my mind, ignore my own advice Setting this foundation, brick by brick I’ve come to find I can’t bear the thought of being let down by someone else I’m finding new ways to hide

(Intro)vert 01:24
Blank, nothing left to say I’m vacant, can’t you read it on my face? Sick and tired of talking, nothing left for you Holding onto nothing, what’s it gonna prove? I’d speak what’s on my mind But you can’t take the truth Blank, nothing left to say I’m vacant, can’t you read it on my face? Sick and tired of talking, nothing left for you Holding onto nothing, what’s it gonna prove? I’d speak what’s on my mind But you can’t take the truth Don’t even try— you won’t find me out Don’t even try—I know what you’re about Don’t even try—‘cause you won’t find me out Don’t even try—I know what you’re about
9.
Grace 01:33
Give me some goddamn grace, enough to see this through When I think of you It’s just all black and blue Filled with rage, vision’s askew I want to see past this I want to be past you In this resurrection, I want to be anew The past is just filled death Just like it, so are you Filled with rage, vision’s askew I want to be past this I want to be past you Give me praying hands and not clenched fists I’m choosing clarity, not bitterness Let me genuflect and take in my own faults Rise up with purpose, you won’t see me fall Head held high, confidence built up Giving me the challenge to take back what is mine Give me some GODDAMNFUCKINGGRACE
10.
Living in a world that builds barriers Based on my gender/race am I a lesser human? If we were all color blind, would we see eye-to-eye? Would I be less deserving of everything I’ve worked so hard to be? A self-made man—or so he says A self-made man—at the expense of others A self-made man—of exploitation A self-made bigot hiding behind his riches Self-made chauvinist to build a fucking wall A walking contradiction to tear this world apart A new kind of Nazi to wipe us all out When you build your fucking wall you’re gonna kick us all out When you kick us out, whose gonna be there to clean up your mess? Dirty work for a dirty fucking man Filthy living for a stupid filthy fuck Living in a country that breeds hate and contempt
