Awake 04:24
Sometimes I feel angry for reasons I will never see. But when it's dead I will remain unbroken and untamed. So as you live on, hoping your life will carry on, you never witnessed what I did. So in the darkness i'll remain, because i'll do anything but wait. So leave me here and I will stay awake. Sometime I keep thinking of things I wish I'd never seen. But when it's dead I will remain with no damn sleep again. So as you live on, think of everything that went wrong, and never go back there again. So in the darkness i'll remain, because i'll do anything but wait. So leave me here and I will stay awake. These voices in my head, I wish that they were dead. Is this real? Or is this just in my head... So in the darkness i'll remain, because i'll do anything but wait. So leave me here and I will stay awake. For every word I never said. For every drop I never bled. I'd give it all to live again.

Something is wrong, and I think I know why. It's in the water and it's in the sky. Now I've become a product of your lies. But it's too late, we cant leave this behind. Just let go. Your corruption leads us to believe that all this was caused by you and me. But these are our lives, and we live them every day. So how can you expect me to do what you say? Now we've become a product of your pain. This drought goes on but all we want is rain. I know. You've told us what to believe. You've ruined everything. There's nothing wrong with me. You can try all you want, but you'll never break me! Now we've become a product of your pain. This drought goes on but all we want is rain. Just let go. This isn't my home.

Seasons 04:07
Forever, whatever. We live & die together. I'll never fall down on my head. High fever, believer. You'll never know how this hurts. When will I see your face again? Hope isn't gone, no. When will I walk that path again? Because I won't live with this repent. I'm feeling sorry once again. Keep Breathing. These feelings won't go like seasons changing. I'll try and try, until i'm dead, to feel that way again. So nervous, be honest. You've lived life in a pocket. You've shelled yourself from everything. High fever, believer. When will I see your face again? Hope isn't gone, no. When will I walk that path again? Because I won't live with this repent. I'm feeling sorry once again. Keep Breathing. These feelings won't go like seasons changing. I'll try and try, until i'm dead, to feel that way again. When will you see, there ain't no guardian angel looking over me. When will you believe that i'm on my path to recovery? I've walked this path so many times. I'll take off my mask and kill this lie. I'll with this battle, in due time, against myself. When will I walk that path again? Because I won't live with this repent. I'm feeling sorry once again. Keep Breathing. These feelings won't go like seasons changing. I'll try and try, until i'm dead, to feel that way again.

Burn Away 04:13
Stand up for yourself, above everyone else. Because now you'll figure out what it means to be yourself. Because I can't save you. I catch you when you fall. What will you do when it all comes crashing down and i'm not there? I can't always answer your prayers. So, strike a match and burn away. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We're all the same in different ways, so say goodbye to this today. You treat me lovingly, then you turn your back on me. I don't mean to be rude, but I can't fake this if it's true. I am leaving. I catch you when you fall. What will you do when it all comes crashing down and i'm not there? I can't always answer your prayers. So, strike a match and burn away. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We're all the same in different ways, so say goodbye to this today. I can't take this anymore. Won't you just let go. I won't let you stand on me no more. Won't you just let go. I catch you when you fall. What will you do when it all comes crashing down and i'm not there? I can't always answer your prayers. So, strike a match and burn away. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We're all the same in different ways, so say goodbye to this today.
