My Love 04:47
To be like someone else Would be a tragedy Someone that you had felt Someone like me I’m shaking all over Too many thoughts of darker times I move a little bit closer To calm down I’m waking from a dream Apocalyptic harm You’re lying next to me I touch your arm I’m shaking all over Too many thoughts of darker minds I move a little bit closer To calm down I could never go on Without my love right by my side It could only be wrong Without my love right by my side I’d die if you were gone Heartbeats are fading into song I could never go on Without my love right by my side

Ominous Sky 02:30
Paint your wake Into a lake of acetone Brushes with these deathly bones Miles away Taken by a hurricane Swallowed by a weathervane All the world was in her eye Falling in and out Was the right thing to do Ominous sky Underneath Hungry like we used to be Tear this flesh right off of me Heavenly Faces full of honesty Careful of the things you see All the world was in her eye Crawling here to die Falling in and out Was the right thing to do Ominous sky

I see it written down and recorded in pictures It’s everywhere I am, floating like a feather I try to figure it out but I just can’t escape it I know it’s all my fault, I’m the guilty one who shaped this I’ll never read your mind, no matter what you’re feeling There will be thoughts of yours that you don’t want me seeing I know you feel my pain and you want me to release it How can I be complete when I’m only holding pieces?
4.
Poor little old me Poor little old me Some things have gone astray I feel light in the head No words left to be said Some things have gone astray I sank too low into the ground I’ve been spinning Floating feet off the ground I could not hear a sound I’m chemical bound Oh save me This town turned into ash One more chemical blast Some things were meant to be Failing all that I feel Freezing all that is real Some things were meant to be I sank too low into the ground I’ve been spinning Floating feet off the ground I could not hear a sound I’m chemical bound Oh save me
5.
Nearly went blind Looking at you in the sun Try to be kind Maybe you will look back at me Thousands of miles For the solar rays to travel Taking me a while To replace their footprints with mine I can barely hold on Nearly went off The closer I got to the sun Wanted to stop But you kept me moving on Thousands of strides I could not see anything Where did you hide Must have been a supernova I can barely hold on
6.
Lord, I’ve been changed No more fight remains I give myself to he Who chose to create me I wonder if she’ll be there When missiles fill the air Our bodies will disappear As nuclear winter nears On the day I die Fire in my eyes Do not place me in his chains Or left behind in my remains Ah, we’ll see each other and then We’ll fall in love again Two lost souls, an eternity of light An angel of heaven lies with me tonight
7.
War Crimes 03:28
If there’s a way To have a mind And think of times You were an evil man You keep it down You will be fine Without the lies And all those cold dead eyes Staring at you They sort of smile And wave their hands They’re saying their goodbyes to you As you're dancing into your grave With a smile on your face And you’re thinking that you might be saved Like you’re going to a better place So you erased All of those lives Husbands and wives But they will stay with you Into the night They found you out And hear you shout “I’m not an evil man no more!” As you're dancing into your grave With a smile on your face And you’re thinking that you might be saved Like you’re going to a better place
8.
Hard to say it right Words Impossible Stammer all through the night Almost unlivable
9.
The Overpass 05:42
Phantoms lying in the grass With crooked smiles and shadows Underneath the overpass Where cars ran off We’re going too fast on the overpass See the metal flying high Destruction of a lover Fire explodes in the sky Goodbye We’re going too fast on the overpass Well here they are and sirens blaze While souls are leaving They always seem to be too late When lovers die We’re going too fast on the overpass
