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

The Age of Excuses
01:33
|
|||
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

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

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

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

Brick by Brick
02:27
|

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

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

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

Insanity Later

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
