That's Fine
03:23
|

Well aren't you the poster child
for how to live a happy life?
You think my interests are unorthodox?
That's fine, that's fine;
unlike you I don't care what other people like
You don't know a thing about me,
but tell me again
how my love and tolerance
is such a sin, oh where do I begin?
You like to waste your life complaining
how wasting life is such a crime
You think my hobbies are immoral?
That's fine, yeah that's fine;
unlike you I don't care how others spend their time
You don't know a thing about me,
but tell me again
how my love and tolerance
is such a sin, oh where do I begin?
You don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me,
but tell me again
how my love and tolerance
is such a sin, oh where do I begin?
What's that you say?
I'm "sick in the mind?"
I didn't get your message;
I was with my friends being kind

What About Me
03:40
|
|||
New guy came to town today
And he had quite a bit to say
He knew the field and he came to play
A leader in every way
His deal was my deal
He never tried to steal my friends
No they went willingly with him
I'll never tell
But you've got it on the nose
Just how deep this feeling goes
I couldn't say
Oh the lengths to which I'd go
To make this feeling go away
What about me?
What about me?
What about me?
Old friend came to say hello
She noticed I was feeling low
She asked if something was wrong
And I said no
And then I watched her go
It's not a big deal
'Cause I've got skin of steel
Or so I thought
There's nothing I've not fought
I'll never tell
But you've got it on the nose
Just how deep this feeling goes
I couldn't say
Oh the lengths to which I'd go
To make this feeling go away
What about me?
What about me?
What about me?

Fanfare
03:34
|
|||
From the day we met,
you'd always said I'd make it
and until now I'd faked it,
But I'm looking at the prize,
and I cannot mistake it
I think I'm gonna take it
I could not foresee
that I would be where I am
like you always said
But honestly, I'm starting to believe
and I can hear the fanfare
From the day we met,
I could never steer
My path was so unclear
But I'm looking at the road
and happiness is so near
and I've got no fear
I could not foresee
that I would be where I am
like you always said
But honestly, I'm starting to believe
and I can hear the fanfare
It's been a long time coming, hasn't it?
And I can feel the weight is leaving
leaving me
And through the doubt I cast on everything,
I am alive, I am still breathing
I could not foresee
that I would be where I am
like you always said
But honestly, I'm starting to believe
and I can hear the fanfare
I can hear the fanfare

The Countess
04:37
|
|||
Take your bow
It's your time now
The Countess comes and goes
Take your place
Veil your face
That's no way to live
I don't recognize you anymore
But I still remember who you were before, vividly
Tell me who built this cage out of your skin
Belt it out
Kiss the crowd
Bet you're on cloud nine
Have you not
Second thoughts?
It's not too late to come home
I don't recognize you anymore
But I still remember who you were before, vividly
Tell me who built this cage out of your skin
One of you is real
The other is an impostor
Both of you share a home
Both of you share the bones
But not the soul
Not the soul
Not the soul
Not the soul
The countess comes and goes

Be My Wings
03:23
|
|||
Lift me
I want to see
Light my way
Let me push the ground away
Be my wings
Prove I'm wrong
When I swear I don't belong
I am able
Cast out these labels
Be my wings

Scarlet
03:37
|
|||
When the heavens dim,
will you warm my frigid skin?
When the sky moans,
will you thaw my frozen bones,
and make me scarlet with your gaze?
Come and cut through the haze,
through the haze
After a long day,
will you keep the rain away?
It's a respite from the cold to be alone with you;
you make me warm,
and make me scarlet with your gaze
Come and cut through the haze
through the haze
When the heavens dim,
will I feel you on my skin?
When the Earth groans,
will you electrify my bones,
and make me scarlet with your gaze?
Come and cut through the haze
through the haze

Butterfly
03:53
|
|||
This butterfly's a little lonely
but she isn't alone
'cause in a tragic twist of destiny
thieves have drained what she's sown
Fly away
Hit the reset
Fly away
I'd like to see you walk a mile in her shoes
Easy's not an option she can choose
If only letting go was easy as they say
this butterfly would fly away
Fly away [x2]
She won't take any sympathy;
in a way, she agrees
She has learned through adversity
how to rise up off her knees
Fly away
Hit the reset
Fly away
I'd like to see you walk a mile in her shoes
Easy's not an option she can choose
If only letting go was easy as they say
this butterfly would fly away
Fly away [x2]

Just Leave Me
02:52
|
|||
I could go on
I could fight some more
But I don't know what I'm fighting for
This changes everything
This changes everything
You were the one
I kept on fighting for
But I'm not enough
You've opened up the door
I could pretend
I don't doubt myself
But this dilemma can't be ignored
This changes everything
This changes everything
You were the one
I kept on fighting for
But I'm not enough
You've opened up the door
Just leave me
Just leave me here
'Cause you were the one
I kept on fighting for
But I'm not enough
You've opened up the door

Child
03:34
|
|||
Listen to you
using your words,
but sheathing your fists
'cause you know they won't hurt
Listen to you,
lip corners curved,
but tensing your fingers,
'cause you know I'll return
Child, who gave you that blade?
You might hurt yourself
Child, how've you lived so long,
and learned nothing?
Up on your throne
must be quite a view,
but one of us will live forever
and I don't believe it's you
You look at me
so nervously
I think you're afraid of me
Child, who gave you that blade?
You could hurt someone
Child, how've you lived so long,
and felt nothing?
You feel nothing
You feel nothing
You feel nothing
Child
Child

We Want the World to End
04:02
|
|||
Admit it: you're bored
Can't live without a purpose
From the minute you're born,
No soul beneath the surface
Searching for honor in total monotony
Afraid of a future that will have forgotten me
Yeah, yeah
We want the world,
Yeah we want the world
To end
A bitter reward:
Another severed anchor
Brandishing a sword,
Dripping with your anger
Always pretending some new righteous mutiny
Passing your judgement and undying scrutiny
Yeah, yeah
We want the world,
Yeah we want the world
To end

A Ship Called Life
06:58
|
|||
Another night
The night before
One more casualty
In this lifelong war
A thousand times
I always return
To lazy selfish ways
I never learn
I'm still that same child
Lying through my teeth
Cutting corners
I'm not a sailor
But I am at the helm
Of a ship called life
Head in hands
Ashamed again
I'm just as immature now
As I was back then
As I realize
In the coming days
I'll have to face your
Disappointed gaze
Telling me
"You have such potential"
"You have such potential"
"You have such potential"
"You have such potential"
You don't think I know?
You don't think I wanna change?
God
God
Punish me
This dissonance is waking me
This chaos is my enemy
I'm fighting off the entropy
And working toward a harmony
This ship called life
This ship is mine
This ship called life
This ship is mine
This ship called life
This ship is mine
This ship called life
This ship is mine
