the circus 02:53
lyrics
buy track
There’s always the circus we can talk as soon as we reach home I cant feel a thing I’m not sure if I’m alone Can you try to explain why I feel empty beneath my bones I cant feel a thing I’m not sure if I’m alone And I’ve been following the shadows for far too long Often left wandering what’s the difference in right and wrong There’s always the circus we can talk as soon as we reach home I cant feel a thing I’m not sure if I’m alone Can you try to explain why I feel empty beneath my bones I cant feel a thing I’m not sure if I’m alone I walk aimlessly against the tide often rambling to myself About the ghosts I’ve entertained the toll they take on my health There’s always the circus we can talk as soon as we reach home I cant feel a thing I’m not sure if I’m alone Can you try to explain why I feel empty beneath my bones I cant feel a thing I’m not sure if I’m alone I’m looking for confusion something that can validate The time that never passes so I can tell if Its already too late

sickness 02:55
lyrics
buy track
The sickness creeps in A not so distant memory I can see how this will end All the pain and misery Ive felt attached to something that dismantles me Do you feel trapped? In this repeating symphony Of dancing with death as you feel so alive You lose yourself in the depths and this time you may not survive The walls close in I cant keep up with the time As the room starts to spin and ive lost touch with my mind Can you reach me now? Can you tell me who I was When we figured out how to go on without trust Its all consuming and Its never enough Itll drag you down in search of a new kinda drug Anything to take you away from the want From the need from the itch from living life on the front Can you taste the sickness? I can feel it on your tongue Losing touch with a quickness soon its feel everything or feel numb Ive fallen for the promise of everything ive ever been missing But the fleeting bliss isn’t worth the lifetime of nothing The scales can tip so quickly out of favor If you so much as slip for one moment it can change forever The grave is dug deep all its waiting for is your decision Its getting hard to sleep and I wonder if theres anything im missing Its all consuming and Its never enough Itll drag you down in search of a new kinda drug Anything to take you away from the want From the need from the itch from living life on the front And I can feel my heart failing I can hear my soul screaming I can feel my mind drifting Theres nothing left worth believing Am I still breathing it seems the shadows have a hold They control my dreaming and the nightmares are getting old I cant take the conversations that keep happening between my ears Theres no longer any elation I think its probably been gone for years And my thoughts carry knives they leave scars on my brain Ive lived so many lives and caused myself so much pain I think its finally time to release myself from the cycle Ive made up my mind its been driving me mad for a while Its all consuming and Its never enough Itll drag you down in search of a new kinda drug Anything to take you away from the want From the need from the itch from living life on the front I cant make up my mind and I cant wake up my mind and I cant make up for lost time

dreamscape 03:47
lyrics
buy track
i've been looking for a way to get out from underneath this weight to lift the vale slowly away from my eyes and leave this dreamscape the nightmare has its teeth sunk in its pulling me downward again so tired of all this repetition im looking for a better end take it or leave it nothing gets any clearer am i just an object reflected in a dirty mirror the ghosts still sleep so deep inside there's nowhere left for me to hide so take the shot enjoy the ride let fear fall away now to the wayside the demons grabbing at my heels try to hold me down but it starts to feel like the dream might be more real and the edge lifts and it starts to peel take it or leave it nothing gets any clearer am i just an object reflected in a dirty mirror reality blends and blurs the lines im not sure if its me this time theres too many monsters here to find im not alone im in a bind so help me out i need escape im tired of this looping tape so help me out or is it too late? is this my only possible fate? take it or leave it nothing gets any clearer am i just an object reflected in a dirty mirror

other side of the mirror 02:31
lyrics
buy track
We lost interest somewhere around the equator Im not sure who I am right now I think ill meet up with you later Im tired of chasing dreams and the nightmares that chase me Through a loop on repeat of this never ending symmetry On either side of the mirror I think you lied and made it clearer Im enjoying the ride but I feel the end growing ever nearer Don’t scream I think a whisper says enough of how you feel Ive been trying to make a difference but this simulation feels to real Its been open for days and I think the blood has dried Can you take it all away can you admit I really tried? But the answers become questions to other questions without answers Ive been spinning in circles and baby I’m no dancer Lets meet again on the horizon as soon as the shadows leave What im saying is don’t let them ever hear that you believe Ive heard stories I cant divulge that im terrified to remember Theres ways to de-fragment your brain they may leave you dismembered But pull yourself together man this is no place to hide Cant you see in their faces through their hollowed out eyes? That they'd eat you alive you’re the most intriguing prey They would proudly wear your hide but lock your bones away Its been open for days and I think the blood has dried Can you take it all away can you admit I really tried? But the answers become questions to other questions without answers Ive been spinning in circles and baby I’m no dancer

almost home 02:49
lyrics

I can feel the spiders crawling across my eyes I've been in the dark so long I can't comprehend the light I'm looking for answers I'm not quite sure why If I could start again I wouldn't even try Theres things I've seen unfurled in front of me That I could never explain and I want free From the chains that hold my soul inside my body What have I done to deserve this? I cant remember anything Some things cannot be undone No matter how hard you try, or how fast you run Some things will tear you down to your core No matter how hard you try, they just cant be ignored I feel trapped inside this realm that doesnt make any sense I'm looking for a way out, for a hole in the fence I've found several wormholes to adjacent parallel existences But I cant find the one where I think I might fit The spiders leave my side I've never felt more alone Than in this other universe where everything looks like home But the pieces dont fit the puzzle, every face ive ever known Just blend into archetypes they all fit in the mold Some things cannot be undone No matter how hard you try, or how fast you run Some things will tear you down to your core No matter how hard you try, they just cant be ignored I can no longer feel the spiders in fact I cant feel a thing I've noticed myself slipping so slowly away I'm losing touch with myself I'm being perpetually replaced By pieces I dont recognize this isnt even my face Somewhere inside I feel a glimpse of what was But its burning itself out now to ashes and dust Blown away with the wind I'm not sure now what to trust The particles that made me are dead and all I know now is just... Some things cannot be undone No matter how hard you try, or how fast you run Some things will tear you down to your core No matter how hard you try, they just cant be ignored

take 2 of these 02:18
lyrics

take 2 of these every day one before bed and one more when you wake take 2 of these everyday we'll keep upping the dosage until the problem goes away Don't fall too deep into the machine of the doctor wolf and his patient victim don't lose touch with humanity with a personality forged from a prescription take 3 of these every day one before bed and two more when you wake take 3 of these every day we'll keep upping the dosage until your brain melts away don't get tied up in a bottle of false hope chasing a cure that is kept out of reach they debilitate your means to cope while numbing your mind so you dont notice the leech Bipolar disorder is a brain disorder that causes changes in a person's mood, energy, and ability to function. People with bipolar disorder experience intense emotional states that typically occur during distinct periods of days to weeks, called mood episodes. so take 4 of these every day 2 in the morning and 2 more if you wake take 4 of these every day we'll keep upping the dosage...there is no escape don't bury your individuality in hopes of acceptance because pain is a muse that builds strength and teaches us empathy but our modern society would much rather be used

the river knows 02:12
lyrics
buy track
Just how deep Can you say you really sleep In an atmosphere of dreams Can you really sew the seems? Wait and wonder If you’re going under Or waking up And is it even enough? I have felt entirely too aware And I feel it needs to fade Was I better off when I couldn’t care And what price have I paid? Just where am I? Along this animated ride That keeps repeating And keeps me stuck in your dreaming When will you wake? And realize its all been fake The reality you’ve built Covered in the blood ive spilt I have felt entirely too aware And I feel it needs to fade Was I better off when I couldn’t care And what price have I paid? Just what relief Can you even offer me? Its been going on for years my Hopes been lost in your fears so how soon is now? Or should I just take a bow? Turn the lights all out Let my silence shout I have felt entirely too aware And I feel it needs to fade Was I better off when I couldn’t care And what price have I paid?

Are you a minute early or have you always been a minute late? Do these disasters that you script determine future or does fate? And how can you laugh at what you can't yet understand? Or love such a thing you can't reach with your hand? And how will, we ever know if these distractions, never let us go? Why ask so many questions when you can't answer the most simple yourself? Has hysteria replaced the lack of accomplishments on your shelf? Where were all these fears when they could have been a defense? Now have you outlived your abilities and suffocated all suspense? And how will, we ever know if these distractions, never let us go? Once again why ask questions when you don't believe in a reason? Would any answer even subdue the curiosity of the season? Do we wake in the same world in which we fell asleep? Or is each waking moment now a new chance for relief? And how will, we ever know if these distractions, never let us go?
