The Seed 02:44
(instrumental)
2.
Who the hell am I to think The world is but a giant sink And we are all related… in a way Just a tiny particle Underneath a microscope Floating through a void unknown… Is this real? My hope lies in this family tree I know Broken wishes flowing through my bones Holding on to all the things we know It feels good to know I’m not alone Life has me hanging by a rope Tied around my neck I choke Feeling so restricted… I let go Gazing through an empty void Feeling like a baby boy The world is my conscience… Breathe me in
3.
I woke up this morning Feeling kind of grey These questions keep forming Clouding my brain And decisions keep calling Calling my name Broken remnants of something Something I made And now that I can breathe Now that I can see Everything I should have done I could have done Decisions to make Nowhere for me to escape Regrets I have made Pulling me into my grave The walls are enclosing I’m not sure I want to be saved Black skies are returning To this road I have paved And these voices I’m hearing Screaming my name Viciously pulling This feeling it drives me insane
4.
If there’s a way out, find your way out Call if you need me, it'll be easy You’ll be fixing what I’m missing I’ll be perfect, I’ll be your image to leave And I know it’s already over (Just give it some time ) Am I wrong to say that I’ll miss you (Just give it some time) You build me up just to tear me down (Just give it some time) Use me quickly, I don’t want it to hurt so bad Call me crazy, but I think maybe You’re the liar, I’m on fire But is your conscience wearing you thin? You’re the liar, and I’m your victim
5.
Someday 03:42
One of these days I’ll find my way Out of the gray You’ll come and save me And when I’m in pain You’ll come and lay next to me I love the way You look at me Just lay next to me Don’t say anything Just breathe in so deep Feel my heart it beats Please just hold my hand I could be your man When I awake You’ll kiss my face And promise to take My pain away And if I find fame You’ll do the same Just follow me To the edge of the sea I know that I could be I know that I could be yours…
6.
Tell me how you feel love I will find a way Tell me what you need love I will find a way Tell me how you do love Try to find a way Tell me why it is love That you feel this way You don’t feel the same as before I don’t know your name anymore This feeling in my veins I can’t ignore You don’t feel the same as before I feel so ashamed love I can’t find a way All I need is you love Just you to stay This is how I do love You make me feel this way You why it is love That you feel so afraid
7.
Molly's Song 03:16
200 hundred miles away And I wonder if you feel the same Can you feel the thoughts keep rushing in? From the shadows 200 hundred miles away And my dreams just aren’t the same Please come and seal my fate And Molly, I’m yours to take I see you standing there But I feel you lying here And if you’re so afraid Just know I feel the same
8.
And there were lots of things I'd like to say to you And I did not find the courage, yes it's true But look at us now We're not fallin' apart And now that I have grown up next to you And the promises, I swear they're comin' true Your fears, they will not stay You're the one that I want You're the one For me The people, they will come and they will go The ocean waves will break, the world explodes But I will always love you You're all that I see To the end, you will not be All alone, it's up to me No one will ever understand The way I see you So stay awhile Next to me
9.
So that’s it It’s over, it’s over All these things I thought I knew About you, were all a mistake I’m a mistake, you are too I find truth in your lies I’m a liar, so are you She walks as she talks And she talks as she walks away Screaming the things That she knew that she’d never say And all of this doubt That I kept bottled up inside It comes pouring out As the good in me dies And I die And I’m sure that I’m to blame but Don’t think that I’m the only one You are my partner in crime, my accomplice And I see your fantasy of What a perfect life is And darling it just doesn’t include me
10.
Set Me Free 05:00
Take my hand She said to me, falling deep I turned and ran I don’t know if I’m ready for this Grain of sand It’s all I’ll be, all I’ll be Believe you can You’ll see that all your dreams come true And I don’t know if I can make it And I don’t know if I can go Set me free Unlock this cage that's binding me The life I lead Is a simple one indeed Try to see What’s happening, it’s happening Believe you’ll be I swear that you could be set free
11.
Departure 03:45
Come and lay with me All we are, we see She fears a dying rage Likes to contemplate Gasping up for breath Tears roll down her neck Life begins to fade Death will take its reign How does it feel to be dying alone When all of a sudden, you go and choke? And all of that pain that drove you away No longer matters, it's burned up in flames
12.
When I’m gone, who will remember me? Another lost soul, searching for something When I’m gone, and all that is left is words I’ve said Will you listen, or will you let me fade away? Sometimes I wonder if I’m good enough for this Life is so empty, I don’t think I’m ready For death, it’s just a doorway To the unspoken, no one will miss me (When I'm gone) And I don’t know if I belong here with you But will you remember me? Will you remember me? When I’m gone, when im gone Will you remember me? Will you remember me? At all And when I am lonely, and when I'm sad I can’t help but feel like, I’m not the only When I’m gone, will she still love me? Will she remember me? Or will she let it be? (When I'm gone)
