Embers 05:11
lyrics
VERSE 1 The clock ticks, Louder with every stroke, And its clear, Time cannot be controlled, I lie here, embedded in deep remorse for confrontations past Too late, It dawned that I lost resolve, And my pride, It took your light from my soul, Now my fear, Has left me with nothing more than pain to show for all these years. I misplaced my time, Every second feels so slow when you keep preying on my mind. CHORUS In the embers I can always find, A million things to keep you coming back to me, When I'd sooner have kept you far. They say a wound will mend in time, But the scars remain left to remind me everyday, That my failure will never fade away. VERSE 2 Disputes, that caused us to separate, Confused, the line between love and hate, The sad truth is trivial things ignored can soon consume and escalate. If i had the time, I'd destroy the veil of silence we inflicted on our lives. CHORUS In the embers I can always find, A million things to keep you coming back to me, When I'd sooner have kept you far. They say a wound will mend in time, But the scars remain left to remind me everyday, That my failure will never fade away. BRIDGE If my only crime here was denial, I could have let my pain subside, But I held so much worse inside, I couldn't let myself respite Im out of time Your suicide it cut right through me and left me with deep desire. The fear of dying lonely, It kills me inside. CHORUS In the embers I can always find, A million things to keep you coming back to me, When I'd sooner have kept you far. They say a wound will mend in time, But the scars remain left to remind me everyday, That my failure will never fade away.

Oblivion 04:44
lyrics
VERSE 1
 A struggle from deep within,
 So desperate just to give in,
 Your strength halts my suicide,
 That one thing keeps me alive

 CHORUS 1
 If I fade into oblivion,
 No one's there to hold you when,
 You lose the will to love again.
 Words you held on close to then,
 Do their best to save you when,
 You lose your strength to live VERSE 2 Destroyed in all but my name,
 Insidious mental decay,
 Growing increasingly frail,
 Our lives are marred by my shame

 Assigned to labels deemed fit,
 So hard to live for each day,
 A future looking more bleak,
 Purges all reasons to stay.
 CHORUS 2
 If I fade into oblivion,
 No one's there to hold you when,
 You lose the will to love again.
 Words you held on close to then,
 Do their best to save you when,
 You lose your strength to live If I fade into oblivion,
 No one's there to hold you when,
 You lose your strength to live again BRIDGE Remember me, our memories,
 Recourse for my behaviour, 
Easy to see, mortality,
 Is able to let me go.

 To leave you is accepting all that we've known,
 Instincts about to let go
 I tried so hard,
 To paint a picture of me,
 Your reminder of me OUTRO Let me, let me be free Allow all my fears To just disappear That you denied from me I tried to cling on To our memories But it slipped away From me, from me, Just let me go Let me save my soul And fade away Just me go

Innocent Child 04:04
lyrics
VERSE 1 Take a look at me and tell I am what you want to be Shall I hide the truth to spare you from your broken dreams Should I play along to save my fragile dignity I won’t let you break me down I can’t be everything Is there something that you want from me Keep your dreams, just let me be I won’t let you break me down CHORUS And I still don’t know where, where to find truth And I still don’t know where I become you VERSE 2 Turn around to see its you that fuels and spurns my apathy Am I everything you worked to build me up to be Do believe your life is my priority I won’t let you break me down You can be anything Just don’t expect a fucking thing from me You cut your veins so I could bleed I won’t let you tie me down CHORUS And I still don’t know where, where to find truth And I still don’t know where I become you And I still don’t know where, where to find truth And I still don’t know where I become you BRIDGE You manipulated my young mind Said that your love would always be mine Told me you’d always be there for me But you lied So I learned to keep my pain inside Played you games so I would survive All of those years that you tortured me You confined an innocent child CHORUS And I still don’t know where, where to find truth And I still don’t know where I become you And I still don’t know where, where to find truth And I still don’t know where I become you

Credence 03:57
lyrics
VERSE 1 I trusted you like a father Believe every word you say I’ll follow in your footsteps I’ll follow you to the grave Now I can see, all I need is to feel that I’m strong. You laid the seed, and I believed that my life was wrong. I couldn’t run, I was alone I couldn’t take my time You made me scared that my life (it) wasn’t mine. CHORUS Close your eyes Is it me you hold inside? When your conscience leaves you I’ll be the one to cling to VERSE 2 You offered me redemption to save my soul You offered me your hand to cling to but I let go Now I find, the strength inside is all that I need, Give me time to change my mind and maybe you’ll see, Behind my cries this restless mind, it lives peacefully, I’ll will fight, I’ll survive. CHORUS Close your eyes Is it me you hold inside? When your conscience leaves you I’ll be the one to cling to Close your eyes Is it me you hold inside? When your conscience leaves you I’ll be the one to cling to BRIDGE Now I can leave, I can feed my envious mind, I am free to believe after all this time, I can see without this veil that has kept me blind I can be, I can breathe OUTRO Close your eyes Is it me you hold inside? When your conscience leaves you I’ll be the one to cling to Close your eyes Is it me you hold inside? When your conscience leaves you I’ll be the one to cling to Close your eyes Is it me you hold inside? When your conscience leaves you I’ll be the one to cling to
