Fade 05:39
I'm fading, fading to blacker days And the darkness is creeping over me I try to see the light And keep a smile on my face But when you're away There is no sunshine left to grace So fade away I'm done pretending it’s all okay So Fade fade away, I can't do this any More fade away I'm starting to lose it You act like nothing's wrong Like you're not breaking my heart You look at me like you always loved me But you never did And never you will and never wanted too Cause if you did You would spend your time trying to make me smile instead of guessing all your games So, Fade fade away, I can't do this any More fade away Fade fade away, I can't do this any More- fade away Talking smooth It's like we're in slow motion now You don't even know your ways It's been hard to see the love just thrown away It's been hard to know that you never really cared Fade fade away, I can't do this any More fade away Fade fade away, I can't do this any More fade away I'm starting to lose it I'll take the long way home

Tongue Tied 02:51
She was lost in a ramble Of words that didn't match Sense she couldn't handle With her words stuck in mouth And she couldn't let them out And she didn't know just what to say to this She just sifted through the pages of her mind; to gain some time Don't give it up Wait a minute longer. Twisted up Tongue tied Surprise Small talk subsides Dim light Dark night Took her by surprise He was caught in her eyes And he, he saw the light that she hides And loved them despite Don't give it up Wait a minute longer. Twisted up Tongue tied Surprise Small talk subsides Dim light Dark night Took her by surprise Folded up in his vacancy She couldn't see Whether or not it was real or fake She smiled at the mystery Nothing matters in ecstasy The eyes capture what we feel Twisted up Tongue tied Surprise Small talk subsides Dim light Dark night Took her by surprise

Plum 04:19
Broken home broken heart Family torn and ripped apart They felt lost from the start He was gone made afar Little boy drowning in his dreams Never saw his fate was coming It was the hardest day of their lives Couldn't understand how or why They just knew that their life would always fall shy That is the reason why they run and hide Little boy drowning in his dreams Never saw his fate coming Little boy drowning in his dreams Never saw his fate coming He sank low and opened his eyes Peace became him as the last breath subsides No more pain in head or heart Was lost in his love Little boy drowning in his dreams Never saw his fate coming Little boy drowning in his dreams Never saw his fate coming

Peripherals 04:45
The space between, between the lines That's where you'll find my humble heart is beating Destruction is bleeding Destruction is breaking and making the choices for me one’s you never assumed you would make But it can be maniacal Deny the goals, denied the gold Not meant to hold it It's crazy crazy my brain in pain The sanity is leaving me hard to breathe These depths I seek are drowning me I want to believe that what's happening to me is meant to be. It's meant to be this way for me This way for me It's criminal that you are gone swept gone away, my mind can't comprehend pretend it's is all okay that I'll never enjoy your sweet embrace again Shivering and shaking My bones shake within and ache within And quake with no I can't erase this pain I'm in I'm honing in Focusing I am honing Into my, into my Peripherals, peripherals Make believe, you're still here with me Though I know you're gone you're not Far away it's just that reality settled in so quickly and ripped me from my ways I tend to be so critical and cynical but I'm begging you please Grant me a miracle and bring my hero back to me in my arms and where you should be Said in my arms is where you should be Into my into my Peripherals, peripherals
