Fake Me Happy
03:11

How does it feel now you're in the black?
Has your guilt turned you into an insomniac?
Watch your former acts
Becoming what you lack
Once we were inseparable, we were the same
You used to follow my lead, now you go your own way
Play the popular game
Forgetting how to feel shame
Your fall from grace must have hurt, so you stave off the pain
I see the smile that you're fakin
But the charade is overrated
How can you be so complacent
When you’ve become so fabricated?
Chorus:
More than a pastime to me
This is my therapy
You medicate and keep it down
I turn it up and sing it out
I still have darkness inside
But I’ve left the worst behind
Can’t take this peace of mind from me
Better than pills to fake me happy
I pity you now that you're lost in the dark
Killed the fire inside, there's not even a spark
But you walk in the bar
When you know in your heart
That every thrill you chase only tears you apart
So how does it feel out there in the cold
Trying to keep yourself warm with the alcohol?
Putting on a blindfold
Refuse to let yourself know
Your own vices have you caught in a stranglehold
Used to hang on every word I said
The voice in your head
Keeping you from ending up dead
Now we hardly ever interact
You retract
And turn your back every time we come into contact
Overdosed on the line your were toeing
You’ve flat-lined, but you don’t even know it
An animated corpse trying to feel alive
Neverminding
That you’re dead on the inside
Bridge:
While you spend fortunes chasing bliss
I sing my sadness out for free
Wrapped up in warm serenity
Show my depression victory
Comfort yourself and reminisce
Of when you didn’t feel so empty
When you weren’t so unlike me
The villain I could be

Verse 1:
All sound is suddenly hushed
And down I helplessly rush
The waves overtake my fragile bones
My hands reach for the light
But there's no hope in this fight
My weight betrays and I sink like a stone
Chorus:
No matter how hard I kick
Or how loud I scream
This force drags me down
To the depths of the sea
Can you see me?
Oh, I'm drowning
Verse 2:
I once dove in the deep
And sold my soul to the sea
Contented to live in such a debt
But fate shifted in me
I broke the surface to breathe
And now the ocean craves to collect
Chorus:
No matter how hard I kick
Or how loud I scream
This force drags me down
To the depths of the sea
Can you see me?
Oh, I'm drowning
Watch me
Drift ever deeper
Drift ever deeper
Drift ever deeper
Till I disappear
Watch me
Drift ever deeper
Drift ever deeper
Drift ever deeper
Till I disappear
Why can't you see me?
Oh, I'm drowning
Why can't you see me?
Oh, I'm drowning

Lyrics
Verse 1:
Do what you want, so long as you love her
As if three little words could cover your mistakes
As sweet as can be until you turn rabid
All that love melts away, defeated by your rage
I know you, so you must be an imposter
Try to love you but I can't see past the monster
Do what you want, so long as you love her
Do what you want, so long as you love her
Chorus:
Try to justify it now
But I know love wouldn't allow
For your hands to break her down
Now I know, I can't ignore
You're just a boy who's feeling small
When you're no longer in control
Think you're a big man, standing tall
When your woman is on the floor
Verse 2:
Do what you want, so long as you love her
Not written in words, but balled up in your fists
When anger sets in they're full of destruction
How else will she know that you mean it?
So do what you want
Chorus:
Try to justify it now
But I know love wouldn't allow
For your hands to break her down
Now I know, I can't ignore
You're just a boy who's feeling small
When you're no longer in control
Think you're a big man, standing tall
When your woman is on the floor
So afraid that you're not good enough to have her
Still you sabotage yourself with your behavior
Use all your strength to keep her safe, or one day
All that anger will drive her away

Iron Bar Arms

Your iron bar arms hold me in your grasp
I think that it's time to let go of the past
Would you believe it if I said that I still think about you?
Would you believe it if I said that I still think about you?
Iron arms hold me
Can't you
Hear me entreating
Let me go
No bruises to show what I've been through with you
I could let all the fear and the anger
Build a raging fire inside of me
It's my fault, I rode out the danger
And pretend to be surprised by where it got me
But I've no bruises to show
Iron arms hold me
Can't you
Hear me entreating
Let me go
(How many lives have your hands taken?)
I push against your body
Determined to break free
Let me go!
(How many lives are you willing to end?)
No bruises to show what I've been through with you
No bruises to show
But it's still evident

White Like Snow

Lyrics
Verse 1:
White like snow, and just as cold
No truer words to me you told
It started pure, untouched and flat
You took one step you can't take back
The evidence of your presence remains
No snowfall can cover the tracks
That you left on the plain
Verse 2:
You through clean snowbanks I led
The color changed beneath your tread
The pure white snow your touch did taint
You took two steps and now it's gray
The soil that your feet introduced
Will stay with the snow all its life
It can't be removed
Verse 3:
And you could feel the cold retreat
The snow could not contest your heat
Knowing too well no more could fall
You took three steps and melted it all
Conquering like the summer sun
You overpowered the chill
And Winter is gone

Ashes

|
Alive with this desire
But can I tame it?
Alone in this design
But will I claim it?
Chorus:
Heart burns
But will this fire be put out
Or will I be living ashes?
A light still shining
But will I show it?
A love is dying
But will I mourn it?
Chorus:
Heart burns
But will this fire be put out
Or will I be living ashes?
