To who can take a second to commence my voice: Well I'm waiting to show you... Could you hear me? Teach me, guide me, push me... and please, will you grant me this favor: believe in me dear believer. So who are you believer? Where are you believer?

Who Are You 03:10
I'm buried deep under the pavement of my biggest fears I'm trying everything that i could think to see it clear asses the situation act against your biggest flaws and then you question when and what are you waiting for... someone to hold your hand and walk you across the street? you are the darkest one that darkness could ever award to do things willingly you will not do without reward much less to mention lack of stimulation deems you bored and then you question why and what are you looking for... something so easily achieved? I've been standing alone and I've been slipping so far away It's time to clean up my act and try to bring myself back from space who do you think you are you're lying to yourself and to everyone else who ever thinks about and looks at you when you say you'll get it done later you never do and now they think that you're no one that they could ever use I'll do it later, do it later, do it later and I... when will you wake up? I've been standing alone and I've been slipping so far away It's time to clean up my act and try to bring myself back from space I've been wasting my time, I've been losing my mind the result is depleting of passion due to lack of the action to move forth your impatience is the culprit most noticeable no one could tell you this better than who knows it more you stop yourself in seeing everything you ever need but like a quake you better shake the ground you're underneath...

Island/Fire 03:34
Island: See this is what you get when you stop your filter. This what you get words wild on fire. This what you get when you speak not thinking. This what you get when you think not speaking. ...and I'm all alone. on this island. Fire: when i was young, in my journal I'd write down how i felt I'd tell myself, you're not human you came from some where else well, back in school, they would tell me you act like no one else respect the rules, well i tried that so they can fuck themselves my father said you should burn the brightest my son till theres fire Island: This is what you get when you stop your filter. This is what you get, words wild on fire. This is what you get when you speak not thinking. This is what you get when think not speaking. I'm all alone. I'm sinking back. in my skin. Fire: Calling all the angels drifting planets. Gather in a line its time for war. Here's another mission please accept it. Dance until your feet cant dance no more.

Swinging, dreaming on a swing set built to support your weight Given that you can't resist to tamper with it to see how much it takes to soar and soar you crave for more 'till you scare the fun away. Even in your carelessness you're forced witness upon yourself to save. If i could call exhaustion caused by thoughts in cyclone course I'd question worth and reason for deceiving from the source. 'Cause every night you fight your mind and days are much the same. You pray for change you swear you say tomorrow's quite the day. Oh oh oh, tell me what it takes to find resistance Oh oh oh, tell me do you think you found it? Oh oh oh, tell me do you seek resplendent virtue Oh oh oh, tell me what it takes to guide you. The have to practice havoc on you, break and change your mind When you take them in they take you in its nature by design. And its easy when especially you're socially inclined. Am I the dying kind? Oh oh oh, tell me what it takes to find resistance Oh oh oh, tell me do you think you found it? Oh oh oh, tell me do you seek resplendent virtue Oh oh oh, tell me what it takes to guide... Breathing in your smoke you choke excuses merely poor. Conviction slightly hidden call addiction to the score. Their playing tricks a game exists intentions to convince. Dear God your mind is aching, still you find the time to fake it, you challenge habit breaking, you wonder if you'll make it...

Ghost 03:52
Hit him with the silence. Grace him with the finest passion, poise, & patience to carefully complete this, he can nearly see it. Hindering progression. Cognizant depression. He knows how to fight this, he knows how to write this, he doesn't know a thing at all. Dancing in a daydream. Singing so superfluously sweet songs of simple laughter, but he's still a disaster, 'cause he knows it's only a dream. Disengage from friendships. Has this become a sickness? He feels he's getting scared now, the words are of despair now, 'cause he doesn't know what he's become. I've lost all concepts. So many discarded. Where can i find you? Where did you run to now? (Don't. Go.) Transparent presence thoughts they come and they go. Impossible to grab the ones required the most. You see them. You feel them. You're dying to hold... You need them. You need them... It's like scaring a ghost. ...and so he sits in silence.

Panic 03:46
sleepless weeks i try to stop the dreams don't think so deep I'm trying just to breath I'm panicking, panicking, panicking again. break my rest i scare myself to death in thinking of events that haven't even happened yet I'm panicking, panicking, panicking again... when will it end 'cause i know that it's just a phase questioning how much will i have to take... when is it enough... 'cause I'm about to give it up when is it enough... my head is spinning off when is it enough... this thing could set me off when is it enough... can you see me fall apart... try to fight this weakness as it creeps upon disclosure fighting just the same, to maintain, my composure see I'm panicking, panicking, panicking again have you ever seen, everything, fall around you... like it was only you, who could choose to bring this on you see I'm panicking, panicking, panicking again... when is it enough... 'cause I'm about to give it up when is it enough... my head is spinning off when is it enough... this thing could set me off when is it enough... it's making me feel like I'm on fire... * ...and then you come around changing everything in me. you take my sound and make it go from sad to sweet. so if you stay with me tonight, i could give it all away. * when is it enough... 'cause I'm about to give it up when is it enough... my head is spinning off when is it enough... this thing could set me off when is it enough... can you see me fall apart...

Don't. Stop to think or breath.  Erase your thoughts and fly with me. I could feel your beat like my heart was your rhythm and the melody's your eyes when you smile and smile... Do you ever feel alive? Could i make you keep that smile?... Our time is light. It shines at night. I swear its bright like it's flashing white. I can taste your breath when you speak your soul. If you dance, i could watch your body speak it slow... Could I make you feel alive if... If i make you smile and smile and... Smile. 'Cause you shine blue. Like the sky was you. We could live it like it's all a dream. If you dance. with. me... Splash and swim we're sinking in. I could taste your touch, your sweat, your skin. I'm pressed with stress to your chest in place, with my hands on your waist we're face to face... Do you feel alive now? Could you keep that smile now? I'll fetch to find this golden time. I'll kiss and wish I could catch your mind. Your sound is sweet. Your song it sings. I'm breathing in symphonic strings... Could I maybe be alive now? 'Cause i see you smile and smile and... Smile. 'Cause you shine blue. Like the sky was you. We could live it like it's all a dream. If you dance. with. me... The rain. It pours. Like diamonds after coal. It's slipping down your lips like glass. With the wetness in your hair, you were standing with a stare, see I was standing right in front of you. 'Cause you shine blue. Like the sky was you. Smile. 'Cause you shine blue. Like the sky was you. We could live it like it's all a dream. If you dance. with. me... ...Smile and smile... again. again...

Crazy 02:48
Tonight I'm someone that you're dying to see. If you feel a beat tonight, could you feel it with me? Let's sweep the street no need to sneak inside. We'll take our drinks and say we're dancing tonight... Can we that crazy cause we feel it tonight, Yeah we're feelin' so good. Can we that crazy cause we feel it tonight, Yeah we're feelin' so good. I'll be the first one to submit to the pause. In a crowded room pursue the intention to cause painless pressure gesture passionate lips. Entertain the game of wanting more than a kiss... 'Cause girl you know I'm all about you tonight, can you see my shine? 'And girl you know I'm all about you tonight, can you read my mind?

Escape 04:31
I am so scared. I can't defend myself. I am weak and helpless. I could suffer in this forever. You are merciful. Lying naked under your cover. But i can touch your soul. I'll build a sky comprised of gold. If you can just escape in me. A fissure in the scheme. Who's to say it had to be me. I can smell your skin. I give up, I'm forced to give in. If what it is to cry, is what it's like to be inside, then i can bear a tear, I could bear a thousand years. If you can just escape in me. I am so scared. I am weak and helpless.
10.
Go ahead. Try. To chase your mind. When you're done. You'll find. You're still behind. 'Cause when you wake up lying next to me, from sleeping, dreaming in my sheets, my secret place for me to think, I can't speak. If you can keep a secret like, weapons in your pockets, we can live in fantasy, we'll never seek to stop this. If we were born a thunderstorm, we'd crash exhilaration. We can live in fantasy, reciprocate imagination. My words. Fall apart. When i see your eyes... 'Cause its like every time's the first time. You're talented in making me speak. By sadness i am creatively, sharing everything inside me, the reasons that you desire... And require in a moments pass, the problem is it never lasts, long enough to see it through.
