Fallen Down 04:12
lyrics
FALLEN DOWN Life’s got me against the ropes And I feel like I’m gunna choke And I cannot take all the strife life throws at me All the strife life throws my way I’ve fallen down into the hole Can’t break this cycle it’s made of Stone I’ve crashed face down, another hitch in the road Can’t break this cycle it’s made of Stone (I can’t, it’s made of Stone) And now there’s nowhere left to run The doubts too hard to over come Can’t find a remedy Anxiety grips onto me I see no other way, Now, [chorus] Doctor listen, I’m broke inside Doctor, take a look, and tell me what you find Doctor listen, I’m broke inside Doctor, take a look, and tell me the reason why... [chorus] I’ve fallen down (I can’t, it’s made of stone) [x4]

Voices 03:38
lyrics
VOICES Another conflict, when the sirens start to sing They’re feeding on my nightmares, and scratching at the inside of my skin I need to find a way, need to find a way To gain a grip and break the chains away To finally cure this pain (To finally cure this pain) Hands up, back pressed against the wall As I call out for help, there’s no one to be seen at all. The voices that I hide, deep inside my mind, Tell me that soon I’m gunna fall They’re growing louder, screaming through empty souls. There’s no way to defeat them with the power that they hold. I need to find a way, need to find a way, to close these wounds and stop this pain (To stop this pain) [chorus] Please don’t pull me under, cause soon I’m gunna fall. I keep slipping further, stuck in this hell. Please don’t pull me under cause soon I’m gunna fall... (Soon you’re gunna fall) Please don’t pull me under, cause soon I’m gunna fall. I keep slipping further, stuck in this hell. [x2]

Faded 03:42
lyrics
FADED It’s 3am, and I’m alone. Lost again in my own home. I haven’t seen anyone in about 3 weeks, and it’s been months since you last phoned. The senseless fights over my mistakes, and restless nights left me awake As I tried to put things right And see some sense before I break I wanna run away From the tragedies that unfold Whenever we are not apart As we return back to the start Run away from the mess we make Every time we try to leave bad days behind And I just fade into the night I’m counting sheep My head’s a mess I cannot sleep and I cannot rest With my bridges burned, no where to turn And all the feelings I suppress In this broken Home rebuilt twice over Has it’s end growing ever closer Day by Day I fall even further I need some way to escape this torture (Day by Day I fall even further I need some way to escape this torture) [chorus] I wanna run away from the mess we make It’s time to see some sense before I break [x2] Before I break [x4] [Chorus]

Hurricane 03:25
lyrics
HURRICANE Another day another trial, Stuck in this feeling of denial. I try to plead insanity, But the only one to blame is me. I can’t get rid of these demons, they’re part of the reason for this echoing shame. They force me into torment, no way to control them, they can’t be tamed. I need to forerun the hurricane. (The hurricane) They force me into torment, no way to control them, they can’t be tamed. I try to leave the past behind, But it catches up with me every time. I try my best to remain strong, But how can I carry on when everything seems to go wrong? [chorus] I can’t shake this doubt trapped inside myself. I need a way out, I need a way out. So here we go again, “forerun the hurricane”. I need to take control before it’s too late... [x2]

Dreamer 02:59
lyrics
DREAMER This vision isn’t going quite as I planned it, Nearly gave up and departed. Settled for a life that’s not meant for me. I’ve watched my mental state wither and decimate, as I got lost in this fucked up game. Wake me up I’ve been dreaming for far too long, Now time is wearing thin on all of the things I should’ve done. Wake me up I’ve been fading in a dreamers sleep, No more make believe. I’ve decayed losing my mind in the dark, While being pulled apart by the thoughts that trapped me in this dead space. If only I could foresee the person I could be; I’d make it a reality. [chorus] No more make believe [x4]
