Pleased to meet you
Allow me to
introduce myself to the room
I am the one you
will never see
The forgotten sound in the breeze
Now that you see me
Are you afraid?
Will you stay with me
or will you run away?
I've been hiding
behind the scenes
but I'm the one who pulls the strings
I know the secrets
I know the weakness
I know all that dwells beneath
Now that you that see me
has your opinion changed?
No smoke and mirrors
I've been hidden away and afraid
Will you stay with me
or will you run away?
Now that you see me
and everything that I am today
No smoke and mirrors
I've been hidden away and afraid
Will you stay with me
or will you run away?
From the ghost inside of me
Will you stay with me
and this ghost that hides beneath?
Will you stay with me
and this ghost inside of me?

Overactive

Overactive, overactive, overactive
Decisions, decisions
Even the simplest of visions
can get distorted and distant
under these wandering eyes
How did I become this
so analytical, restless
and so distracted and scattered
Ashes of my former mind
But wait!
Hold on, gettin' stuck in the clouds
Stay up late!
No harm, just need a couple of hours
My friends, follow me!
Before I let you down
Whether I'm comin' or goin'
I'm heading straight for the ground
Overactive, overactive, overactive
Shit...derailed train
may be moving too fast
New place, so much change
Next day to deja vu
Do you see
All of these worries to bury
as they're escaping the grave?
Relentless, Persistent
with this fear of failure
Confident, Ambition
struggling to keep up
Almighty dollar, the forgotten lovers
The writers block stopping
my therapy needs to start
"Need to progress, excel and progress
Dress for success and shed this legacy
Keep your head up no matter how heavy it is!
The stride needs to be sexy! Confident!
Walk with purpose. Why are you nervous?!
Don't you dare go back to the rain!"
I fall in this sea of thoughts
I swim in this sea of thoughts
Drowning in this sea of thoughts
Get me out
Overactive, overactive, overactive

Devil

Congratulations! It's a brand new chapter!
Emancipated from your love of disaster
Now that you're free
what will you do with your time
Time to proceed
there's no more burden to blame
Do you intend
to keep the past on your sleeve
or look within
to find your next fatal enemy?
Running away from the devil
Staring straight at the devil
See the frustration as you wander in this mine (mind) field
False expectations that you left it all behind you
No more dreams, no more screams
No more fantasies and no more tears
Path is clear. The world's your oyster
long as you conquer
your new master...
Running away from the devil
Staring straight at the devil
Running away from the devil
Staring straight at a devil
Run now straight to the devil
Now you're facing the devil

The Grave

I'm staring at the grave
Throwing rocks into the waves
The ripples echo through the ice
Salt cradled in these baggy eyes
I just hope...this takes me
Even further....to a better place
I don't want to think...it's never ending
Caught in my escape
Face to face with the grave
I sink into my grave
to let me body go to waste
I let the toxins take my mind
Forgetting what I leave behind
Memories. Clarity.
I fall prey to all that I hate
Identity. Personality.
Changes with every dive
Atrophy greeting me
as I wake up in the daze
All repeat. Bring me the night.
Face to face with the grave
(I just hope this takes me
even further
to a better place
I don't want to think
It's never ending
Caught in my escape)

Shades Of You
03:10

It started with her eyes
and that beautiful shade of blue
Smiling every time she blinks
I'm always mesmerized
by the beautiful way she moves
as I stumble on my feet
Forgive me if I seem
a little clumsy
The sight of you gives me
this rapid heartbeat, weakened knees
I want to get to know
what you've seen and what you seek
and all the beautiful shades of you
I follow every curve
on the waves of her perfume
Suspended in the air
She personifies the stars when she walks into the room
and I can't help but stop and stare
How did I get to be this lucky?
Come let me hold you close
there's nowhere else I'd rather be
Let me explore these fantasies
and all the beautiful shades of you
The beautiful shades of you

Before You Know It
03:50
|

|
Open the window and feel the breeze
Hair of the dog
It wakes me up
Taking the time to stop and breathe
Always falls by the wayside when the schedule's full...gonna interrupt
The clock is ticking
The time you're wasting
Seems you can't stop worrying
Turn your focus to the now
Stare at the moonlight
Hands on the blades
Recall the decisions that brought me here
All of the missteps and all the mistakes
Like rungs on a ladder atop the years
It seems you never sleep
without a screen
Unhealthy routines
collecting caps and corks
You clean to forget
Bring back your former self because...
Before you know it
The world has changed
Before you know it
You've done the same
Before you know it
Your head is full of shades of grey
Weaken by weak
the memories change and fade away

Be Yourself
04:24

I sit here staring at the moon
The only way to write the blues
I think it's time for something new
to look beyond and see yourself...
and be yourself
Just see yourself
and be yourself
Just see yourself
and be yourself
As I'm sitting next to you (No giving up. You can't give in)
I can't help but wonder why you choose (No giving up. You can't give in)
to never see what you bring (No giving up. You can't give in)
As people around you start to sing
Just be yourself
To see yourself and be yourself
Just see yourself, Just be yourself
I think it's time for something new...Be yourself
and see yourself, and be yourself
Just see yourself and be yourself
