Overboard 03:42
lyrics
buy track
On the edge Thrown overboard Submerged into the sea And you wonder what was it for Stuck in the sand underneath Like chains are bound to your feet Lungs fill faster if you scream As they smile through their teeth Cut the rope and you are sinking Past souls that can’t be found Aren’t you sick of thinking ‘Where are you now?’ You’re starting to lose your grip And it’s only half of it As it pulls you down Anchored down Lost in the depths With the ruins of the unknown All hope gets swept Fallen dreams, they decompose Now we enter darker waters Continue to dive farther Soon to be a martyr A puppet of the carver The surface is all but clear The light disappears A spark is sent down here below As they smile They smile through their teeth

Crimson Queen 04:00
lyrics

Her majesty Out runs her rising fever Once again she traps another Isn’t it such a great puzzle? She lives in a tragedy She can’t see past her own mirror She drinks until she can’t feel Has no clue what’s fake or real She lives in a fairytale Never takes a look outside the veil Don’t follow her down the hole Or your story’s left untold She only breathes The air that she chooses Gets rid of whom she pleases We’re all seen as useless Diamonds and hearts She made her choice from the very start Claims we can’t tell good from bad But she’s the one who’s mad She lives in a fairytale Never takes a look outside the veil Don’t follow her down the hole Or your story’s left untold She lives in her perfect world With the souls she took to crown the pearl Don’t follow her down the hole Or your story’s left untold Her rage fuels her veins Her face shows no shame Wicked at each seem She becomes the crimson queen Drowns in all her tears Consumed by all her fears Wicked at each seem She becomes the crimson queen

Consequences 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Devouring your conscious Ignoring the promise In the hour dismay You long for another day You’re falling forward Onto your own drawn sword At least I’ll take the chances You’re being tortured It’s what you can’t afford I’ll face the consequences Take pride in being nothing No drive in becoming something So far from being honest It’s no wonder you’re so lifeless You can’t just throw it away It’ll find its way back to you A false pretense White Pickett fence It will remind you You said we’d sleep When we were dead Yet you wake in your grave Again and again You’re settling You’re falling forward You’re being tortured I’ll face the consequences

Unsewn 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Believe in chance or hope Dreaming under the oak Fighting to let this go Closing in at the gate They don’t know why I won’t have to wait We are losing time Get rid of this hate That leaves us dry Questioning faith I will paralyze Breathing? I don’t know Leaving this wound unsewn Fighting to let this go Would leave it to fate And let them feed the lie Visions erased Will they hear your cry? Now it’s all for the chase And it can’t be denied Get ready to brace Will you let it die? Breathing? I don’t know Leaving this wound unsewn Fighting to let this go Believe in chance or hope Dreaming under the oak Fighting to let this go

Closer 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Living Living on a repeat Always skipping from the end Running Running from a defeat Continue to pretend Can you feel it now? Can’t you feel the disconnect? Bring me closer Caught in between The mirror in front of me Draining as I reflect A recurrence of ‘when?’ Waging for the defect I won’t wait for ‘then’ I won’t crawl like this All behind the glass Waiting for someone to Shatter the abyss Let the echoes back And take me farther Bring me closer Caught in between The mirror in front of me Bring me closer As I suffocate The ghosts that remain unseen I don’t want to exist I want to live
