Does It Keep You Up?
03:56

There’s a poison in my system
It’s got me suffocating in your vicious fiction
Perpetrator and not the victim
So save your breath because I just can’t bear to listen
Does it keep you up, keep you up at night?
Does it keep you up, up?
There’s a poison in my system
And it seems threatened by some healthy competition
Your green eyes are not a symptom
Or a reason you’d end up in this condition
Does it keep you up, keep you up at night?
Does it keep you up, up?
How, how can you sleep?
(With these voices, with these voices)
How, how can you keep?
(Fighting in your head and reminding you what you’ve done)
Does it keep you up, keep you up at night?
Does it keep you up, up?
There’s a poison in my system
It’s got me suffocating in your vicious fiction
Perpetrator and not the victim
So save your breath because I just don’t understand
Why everything didn’t work the way we planned
And the memories we made were all for nothing
There’s a poison in my system
But I can see that deep inside it’s growing fearsome
Deliberation of opinion
Could prove to be the most significant decision
Does it keep you up, keep you up at night?
Does it keep you up, up?
How, how can you sleep?
(With these voices, with these voices)
How, how can you keep?
(Fighting in your head and reminding you what you’ve done)
Does it keep you up, keep you up at night?
Does it keep you up, keep you up at night?
Does it keep you up, keep you up at night?
Does it keep you up, up?
There’s a poison in my system
It’s got me suffocating in your vicious fiction
Perpetrator and not the victim
So save your breath because I just don’t understand
That the memories were all for nothing
How, how can you sleep?
(With these voices, with these voices)
How, how can you keep?
(Fighting in your head and reminding you what you’ve done)
Does it keep you up, keep you up at night?
Does it keep you up, keep you up at night?
Does it keep you up, keep you up at night?
Does it keep you up, up?

COMA
03:50
|
|||
|
The same old things happen over and over
I’m living life like I've been in a coma
Is this fear? Why do I crave change?
Does my body sleep whilst my mind’s awake?
The same old things happen over and over
I'm living life like I’ve been in a coma
Confined by these chains
My questions need answers
Do you feel the same?
You always shout without moving your mouth
So together's not always better
Drifting hopelessly
Seeking clarity in our decay
Am I better off without you?
So wake me up
And show me that I'm not
As happy as it seemed I was
As happy as I thought
Am I enough? And is this really love?
Is happy out of reach for me?
Is happy what I'm not?
So wake me up
And show me everything
A reason to stay and a reason to leave
Things aren’t the same
I know there’s silence in sound
There’s no bad blood
My past won’t hold me down
Things aren’t the same
I know there’s silence in sound
There’s no bad blood so I need you to wake me up
And show me that I'm not
As happy as it seemed I was
As happy as I thought
Am I enough? And is this really love?
Is happy out of reach for me?
Is happy what I'm not?
The issue that I have with dreams
Is nothing’s as real as it seems
And the plans we made will fall apart
As quickly as they came to be
As the light enters I’ll start to fade
And you’ll burn just as brightly again
Unopened my eyes will remain
As I try to sleep through the pain
So wake me up
And show me that I'm not
As happy as it seemed I was
As happy as I thought
Am I enough? And is this really love?
Is happy out of reach for me?
‘Cos I'm not
So wake me up
The same old things happen over and over
I’m living life like I’ve been in a coma

Death of Me
03:28
|
|||
|
What are these thoughts and feelings? They’re buried deep inside
Afraid of who I am with you, but scared to move on with my life
Existence is so fragile and I’m running out of time
We’re not getting any younger and for that I’ll pay the price
I’m on my knees say you want it, we fall so hard because we’ve come so far
It’s killing me I’ll be honest, another day without you will be the death of me
Will be the death of me
Will be the death of me
What are these thoughts and feelings? Were they with me all along?
We used to be so beautiful, how did we get this so wrong?
I’m on my knees say you want it, we fall so hard because we’ve come so far
It’s killing me I’ll be honest, another day without you will be the death of me
Will be the death of me
Will be the death of me
I’m just trying to move on
And I’m just trying to be strong but now I see
Another day without you will be the death of me
Will be the death of me
I’m on my knees say you want it, we fall so hard because we’ve come so far
It’s killing me I’ll be honest, another day without you will be the death of me
Will be the death of me
I’m just trying to move on
And I’m just trying to be strong but now I see
Another day without you will be the death of me
Will be the death of me
Another day without you will be the death of me

Violent
You used your words to tarnish my name
But do you truly believe we are the same?
So use the knife that you put in my back
To carve a path to find the courage you lack to speak up
If you’ve got something to say then come and find me
If you’ve got something to say you know where I’ll be
‘Cos I know everything that you said
(All the rage I feel inside)
And I hope you don’t mean a word of it
(Is something I’ve tried to hide)
I hope you can see you make me want to be violent
So sit & run your mouth
Without a fear or doubt
That I know any of the things you chose to speak about
But have you thought about
How you will cope without
When I decide it’s time to chew you up and spit you out
Spit you out
How will you deal with that?
‘Cos I know everything that you said
(All the rage I feel inside)
And I hope you don’t mean a word of it
(Is something I’ve tried to hide)
I hope you can see you make me want to be violent
And I know everything that you said
And it goes to show that everything that I did
Was never enough for you
(All the rage I feel inside)
And I hope that everything that I did
(Is something I’ve tried to hide)
Trust in me faithfully, I will stay silent
You can see you make me want to be violent

Regret About Me
03:14
|
|||
|
I won’t wish you open wounds or broken bones
At most, I hope you choke on the words I wrote
Alone like a heart of stone from an empty home
I don’t, wish you pain now that we’ve both grown
I wish, I wish, I wish I could tell you
I would, I would, I would just call a truce
In the end I can’t pretend
I can’t start over again
I can’t start over again
I can’t start over again
Every time I turn around I feel I’m always looking over my shoulder
I’ll be the soul you consumed; you’ll be the salt in my wounds
Our scars still connect us
I know, I know, I know they all say it
Things come, things come and go, that’s how life is
But in the end I can’t pretend
I can’t start over again
I can’t start over again
I can’t start over again
I can’t be all you need
So forget or regret about me
‘Cos in the end I can’t pretend
I can’t start over again
And I need you to know
That you’re everywhere I go
‘Cos the paths that we made
Helped me break through the mould
Now we’ll never be friends but we’re not enemies
Just two strangers who share a distant memory
I wish, I wish, I wish I could tell you
I would, I would, I would just call a truce
In the end I can’t pretend
I can’t start over again
I can’t start over again
I can’t start over again
I can’t be all you need
So forget or regret about me
In the end I can’t pretend
I can’t start over again

Dangerous
03:24
|

|
Live, from the edge of my seat
Blood boils up, can you feel the heat?
‘Cos I haven’t seen your face in weeks
But my ear’s always close to the ground
Hide, from catastrophe
Heart to heart with anxiety
‘Cos I’m the kind of guy that hears everything
And I don’t approve of the sound
Now, there’s nowhere left to turn
(Keep running, keep running)
Now, no bridges left to burn
(Keep running, keep running)
Now, there’s no words left to say
(Keep running, keep running)
I’m about ready to go to war
So get out of my way
I, I’m feeling dangerous
Dangerous
Ooh, feeling dangerous
(So keep running, so keep running)
I, I’m feeling dangerous
Ooh, dangerous, ooh
So get out of my
Mind, the way you speak
The words you say and the way you think
I’ve tried to bite my tongue and now I’m on the brink
Of turning the tables around
It comes as no surprise because I’ve seen it all
So brace yourself 'cos I’m gonna make you fall
I love the way you hate me
And the way that you berate me makes me
Not myself, I need some help
I tried to suppress but now I digress
It’s burning up inside and now
I, I’m feeling dangerous
Dangerous
Ooh, feeling dangerous
(So keep running, so keep running)
I, I’m feeling dangerous
Ooh, dangerous, ooh
I, I’m feeling dangerous
Dangerous
Now, there’s nowhere left to turn
(Keep running, keep running)
Now, no bridges left to burn
(Keep running, keep running)
Now, there’s no words left to say
‘Cos I’m about ready to go to war
So get out of my way
Live, from the edge of my seat
Blood boils up, can you feel the heat?
‘Cos I haven’t seen your face in weeks
But my ear’s always close to the ground
I’m dangerous

So Sad
04:00
|

|
Used to want the same things
Used to speak our minds
But out of the blue
Changed your point of view
Used to want the same things
Used to speak our minds
But out of the blue
Changed your point of view
Used to dare to dream big
But now I’ve come to find
You never come through
It’s sad but it’s true
So I’ll carry on without you
And it’s so, so sad
To think of all the little things that we could’ve had
And it’s so, so bad
‘Cos we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
Yeah we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
Yeah we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
I can’t face the future,
Doing a nine to five and not the things that I like
Pawn in a system when I could’ve been king,
But through everything they couldn’t care if I lived or died
The game is up
The time is now
I rode my luck
Went all in but now
It’s so, so sad
To think of all the little things that we could’ve had
And it’s so, so bad
‘Cos we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
Yeah we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
Yeah we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
I wonder what you must be thinking of me
It’s time that you thought it aloud
With my head in the clouds and my heart on my sleeve
I never wanted to come down
Now everything that we ever went through
It feels like it must’ve meant nothing to you
Don’t pretend, all good comes to an end
And it’s so, so sad
To think of all the little things that we could’ve had
And it’s so, so sad
To think of all the little things that we could’ve had
And it’s so, so bad
‘Cos we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
Yeah we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
Yeah we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
I can’t help but feeling that this is the end
I can’t help you see that you’re wrong
I don’t want to leave it but I can’t pretend
So let this go

Body Count
03:18
|

|
If words are weapons you’re not picking up a body count
If words are weapons you’re not picking up a body count
If words are weapons you’re not picking up a body count
If words are weapons you’re not picking up a body count
I'm not afraid to step outside so if you’ve lost your knife you better check my spine
It feels like the world’s on fire
‘Cos it’s only the liars
Who always speak their minds
I’m never gonna give up
When you make me wanna give in
I’ll put my pen to paper
‘Cos its second nature not to let you win
When will you learn? Will you learn?
When will you find the key?
When will you learn? Will you learn?
Your words are poison, so breathe in deep
The trust died, had to cut ties
‘Cos I can’t stand more of your lies
But you know that it can be rebuilt
Though there’s no easy fix and there’s no magic pill
It just takes so much time
And I won’t give you, won’t give you any more of mine
More of mine
When will you learn? Will you learn?
When will you find the key?
When will you learn? Will you learn?
Your words are poison, so breathe in deep
Won’t let them see the hurt inside of me
When will you learn? Will you learn?
No words cut deep when you can’t speak
If words are weapons you’re not picking up a body count
If words are weapons you’re not picking up a body count
If words are weapons you’re not picking up a body count
If words are weapons you’re not picking up a body count
You treat me like I’m just dispensable
And that’s typical until you lose it all
‘Cos I’m the one that helped you out
So keep my name out of your mouth
When will you learn? Will you learn?
When will you find the key?
When will you learn? Will you learn?
Your words are poison, so breathe in deep
Won’t let them see, the hurt inside of me
When will you learn? Will you learn?
No words cut deep when you can’t speak

Only Human
03:18
|

I spent my whole life taking you for granted
(But now it seems I’ve got nothing left)
‘Cos now you’re gone
It just feels like I'm stranded
Now you’re not with me, I just need you to
Hold on to me
I used to crave my freedom
But now a piece of me has gone
The only thing I crave is you
I’m only human
What do you expect of me?
Human
That's all I’ll ever be
I feel it in my bones
I feel I’ve lost control
And I'm about to come undone
I’m only human
And I can still hear every word
That you spoke but they’re faded and blurred
I can’t see things get any better than this
At least the pain reminds me why you are missed
I’m only human
What do you expect of me?
Human
That's all I’ll ever be
I feel it in my bones
I feel I’ve lost control
And I'm about to come undone
I’m only human
Give in to temptation
Embrace your release
I wish I could forget this
But you bring out the worst in me
You bring out the worst in me
Why can’t you see I’m only human
What do you expect of me?
Human
That's all I’ll ever be
I feel it in my bones
I feel I’ve lost control
I feel it in the air
I feel it everywhere
I feel it in my bones
I feel I’ve lost control
And I'm about to come undone
I’m only human
Human
And I’m about to come undone
I’m only human

Madre

Most days I swear I’m so emotional
Trying to figure it out
What you would think about
I swore that one day I would make you proud
Now I just sit around
Consumed with doubt
Madre don’t you worry
Madre don’t you worry
Madre don’t you worry
One of these days I swear that I will be happy
I let go of myself since you’ve been gone
What would you think of the way I’ve carried on?
‘Cos I made plans to be a better man
But now I hardly recognise this person I’ve become
Madre don’t you worry
Madre don’t you worry
Madre don’t you worry
One of these days I swear that I will be happy

Barely Alive
03:59
|
|||
|
I’m barely breathing, I’m almost gone
I’ve faced my demons for far too long
Now there’s no light behind these eyes
It’s like I’m barely alive
It’s like I’m barely alive
Barely Alive
It's like I'm lost and I can’t be found
Like air is the ocean and I'm starting to drown
I’d try anything just to heal these scars
Will I ever be strong enough to conquer the dark?
There’s no light behind these eyes
It’s like I’m barely alive, barely alive
Desperate just to survive
It’s like I’m barely alive, barely alive
I've lost the best of me
Worry what's next for me
Now the thoughts that I have just reflect in me
Hanging desperately, but the other side's tempting
My eyes open wide, now I can see
Let the darkness inside and let it break me
Let it break me
There’s no light behind these eyes
It’s like I’m barely alive, barely alive
Desperate just to survive
It’s like I’m barely alive, barely alive
Barely alive, barely alive
It's like I'm barely alive
Barely alive
The pain I’ve seen, through everything
Like the lives that we've made they must come to an end
Bridges burned and lessons learned
I'll never make the same mistakes again
Again
There’s no light behind these eyes
It’s like I’m barely alive, barely alive
Desperate just to survive
It’s like I’m barely alive, barely alive

Save You with My Love
05:02
|
|||
|
I can’t help the way that you feel
My heart breaks for that idea
We both know that open wounds heal
But scars they never disappear
'Cos when you fail to see the signs
And I’m left to hold the weight of both you and I
You know that something’s got to give
I can’t just sit back and watch you live your life like this
If I could save you with my love
(You know there’d be more than enough)
But I can’t save you from this hell
If I could save you with my love
(You know there’d be more than enough)
But I can’t save you from yourself
Now the light that I left on
To help guide you through these haunted corridors
Has burnt down to the smallest spark
You’re left alone to find your way in the dark
And it’s killing me to know that there’s a chance
When you walk out that door I won’t see you again
I want you to know I did everything I can
My heart and my soul can’t take another second
If I could save you with my love
(You know there’d be more than enough)
But I can’t save you from this hell
If I could save you with my love
(You know there’d be more than enough)
But I can’t save you from yourself
If I could save you with my love
(You know there’d be more than enough)
But I can’t save you from this hell
(Save you from this hell)
If I could save you with my love
(You know there’d be more than enough)
But I can’t save you from yourself
(Save you from yourself)
