Bury the Pieces 03:25
lyrics
There’s a storm It’s trapped inside of you It rages behind your eyes but never Escapes Internally bending but never breaks Confront your demons Or let them consume you whole You don’t talk You bury the pieces Bury the pieces To cover up the truth If you want I could help with the pieces Help with the pieces Calm the unrest in you You need to learn How to communicate Breathe easy not suffocate Your mind Will clear If you just let go of the hurricane Confront your demons Or let them consume you whole You don’t talk You bury the pieces Bury the pieces To cover up the truth If you want I could help with the pieces Help with the pieces Calm the unrest in you Let the storm out Let the storm out You don’t talk You bury the pieces Bury the pieces To cover up the truth If you want I could help with the pieces Help with the pieces Calm the unrest in you Let the storm out Let the storm out

Fear 02:59
lyrics
This feeling never fades It’s all around me Clutching at my heart My breathing starts to change The fear controls me Pulling me apart Deep within my heart Rooted in my soul The darkness never fades Never ceases to decay It takes over me So deep that it’s become a part of me My personality Deep within my heart Rooted in my soul The darkness never fades Never ceases to decay It takes over me I’m sick of lying here awake at night With nothing but my own thoughts to hold I can hear my own heartbeat in my ears And it’s becoming unbearable Yeah Deep within my heart Rooted in my soul The darkness never fades Never ceases to decay It takes over me

Shadow 03:49
lyrics
This is it This is me Now I know Who I am I think it’s time you understand I will fight Won’t back down Always dig My way out This battle is already won Cause I know Yes I know I feel it In my bones I was meant to be this all along Look at me Tell me what you see Could it be a past version of me? You’re holding on To a ghost Just a vision of what you used to know I’ve lived for too long as half a soul You wanted answers Well now you know This is it This is me Now I know Who I am I won’t back down I won’t Cause I know Yes I know I feel it In my soul I was destined for this all along You You’re so obsessed With who I was You’re content to hold me back I’ve lived for too long as half a soul You wanted answers Well now you know This is it This is me Now I know Who I am Is it time to let you go? Open your eyes to see the truth I’m not who I once was to you And I am nothing but a shadow in your eyes Open your eyes to see the truth I’m not who I once was to you And I am nothing but a shadow in your eyes

Cut & Run 04:10
lyrics
You think that it's okay To leave victims in your wake You use and then betray Like trash throw them away So easy to pretend To be everybody's friend It's time you knew We're on to you It's time to own up to your mistakes And tell them all your name Tell them who you are Tell them what you've done Cause you're the one to blame The one to leave fresh scars You always cut and run You cut and run A beast behind a smile A mask used to defile Adeptly mark your prey Target the frail and weak Selfish to your inner core Never spare them a single thought It's time you knew We're on to you It's time to own up to your mistakes And tell them all your name Tell them who you are Tell them what you've done Cause you're the one to blame The one to leave fresh scars You always cut and run You cut and run How dare you play your twisted games Together we are not afraid Tell them all your name Tell them who you are Tell them what you've done Cause you're the one to blame The one to leave fresh scars You always cut and run Tell them all your name Tell them who you are Tell them what you've done Tell them what you've done x3

Can You Hear Me? 04:01
lyrics
I can’t Pretend That this situation hasn’t got me scared I take one Deep breath Swallow my emotions wash away the tears I touch you hand Watch your soft vacant eyes As a knot forms inside Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Am I getting through passed the shell of you to the heart of the person I once knew? Can you hear me? I pace I shake And I wonder just how long it’s gonna take For you To wake For the smoke to clear the veil to dissipate Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Am I getting through passed the shell of you to the heart of the person I once knew? Can you hear me? I’m gripped in a rage Knowing there’s nothing I can do to ease your pain Just know that I Will always be here Just like you’ve always been there for me There for me Can you hear? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Am I getting through passed the shell of you to the heart of the person I once knew? Can you hear me?
