I Can't Hear You

Who would go my way? And would it be ok?
You said that I won’t make it on my own
Could I find release? Or maybe just some peace?
My ears are filled with all the doubt you’ve sown
I listened to your poison, I believed
So going deaf could save me
You said that I would not survive, that you kept me alive
I took to heart and fell apart
I heard you say that I’d be dead
I heard your voice inside my head
I can’t hear you now
Who will know my name? And will it be the same?
You said that only you could understand
Should I trust in me? Or change who I will be?
I got here listening to your demands
I heard all of the hurt that you conceived
So going deaf could save me
You said that I would not survive, that you kept me alive
I took to heart and fell apart
I heard you say that I’d be dead
I heard your voice inside my head
I can’t hear you now
I listened to your poison, I believed
I heard all of the hurt that you conceived
So going deaf could save me
You said that I would not survive, that you kept me alive
I took to heart and fell apart
I heard you say that I’d be dead
I heard your voice inside my head
I can’t hear you now

Pull The Plug

Do you remember when we all had time to grow
Those times were swept under a rug
And all those tears you cried, did they help you survive
Like a replacement for a drug
We all wanna go somewhere we don’t know
A place to hide from the misfortune
And this pain comes in bursts, it just gets worse and worse
I think it’s time to pull the plug
It’s time to, it’s time to, it’s time to
Time to pull the plug
It’s time to, it’s time to, it’s time to
Time to pull the plug
The words that come off cold, they chill you to the bone
Just like a song that you once heard
Your identity becomes less clear to see
Your edges gettin’ kinda blurred
We all wanna go somewhere we don’t know
A place to hide from the misfortune
And this pain comes in bursts, it just gets worse and worse
I think it’s time to pull the plug
It’s time to, it’s time to, it’s time to
Time to pull the plug
It’s time to, it’s time to, it’s time to
Time to pull the plug
It’s time to, it’s time to, it’s time to
Time to pull the plug
It’s time to, it’s time to, it’s time to
Time to pull the plug
It’s time to, it’s time to, it’s time to
Time to pull the plug
It’s time to, it’s time to, it’s time to
Time to pull the plug
It’s time to, it’s time to, it’s time to
Time to pull the plug
It’s time to, it’s time to, it’s time to
Time to pull the plug

Song With No Words

Someone is calling, a voice misplaced
Words fade away
I can’t make out the name or the face
Or what I want to say
My tribute, blank pages
My songs of memory have no words
Make it all up as I go
Play along just like I know the words to my own song
So I’ll sing your song again
It allows me to pretend you’re here where you belong
There are no words, but you'll heal in time
Or so they say
Don’t know the reason, can’t hear the rhyme
But I’ll find a way
My tribute, blank pages
My song for Valentine has no words
Make it all up as I go
Play along just like I know the words to my own song
So I’ll sing your song again
It allows me to pretend you’re here where you belong
Here where you belong
No words to my own song...

Lipstick Kiss
03:34

I know the truth you bend is proof
That you don’t want to hurt me
Hide from your shame to stall my pain
Avoid the tragedy
Run from the past to make this last
So full of good intentions
But your kiss stings from all the things
I know you’ll never mention
The lies are showing on your face
The lies are flowing through your veins
The lies are spilling from your lipstick kiss
Your kiss is poison to me
I let you slide, enjoy the ride
Make believe that I don’t care
Embrace the bliss of ignorance
But I can’t stop the nightmares
That haunt my sleep, and I can’t keep
This act up just to save us
Your kiss betrays all of the ways
You sabotaged my trust
The lies are showing on your face
The lies are flowing through your veins
The lies are spilling from your lipstick kiss
Your kiss is poison to me

It's All Right

But it’s all right, just another day
Where we do what it takes to show everyone that we’re ok
But we’re not, and we don’t know why
We seem to find a way to make the same mistakes
That always lead us back to the start
When we were much younger
We could always fall back
And still not fall behind
But now that we’re much older
Every day we stand still
There’s much less time to find
A path that avoids regret
A plan with a chance to win
But it’s all right, just another day
Where we do what it takes to show everyone that we’re ok
But we’re not, and we don’t know why
We seem to find a way to make the same mistakes
That always lead us back to the start
Now the days they fly past
As we keep resetting
For one more wasted night
The best that we can hope
Giving ourselves that pep-talk
Just to reach the finish line
No paths that avoid regret
No plans with a chance to win
But it’s all right, just another day
Where we do what it takes to show everyone that we’re ok
But we’re not, and we don’t know why
We seem to find a way to make the same mistakes
That always lead us back to the start
