The Innocent 03:54
Our lives streamed online, every given hour of the day No one has ever asked to participate No one has the strength to look away Can’t take my eyes off this car crash, are, You bracing yourself for impact One hand gives, one takes away No progress, zero sum game Distracted by dishonesty Smile for your face and a knife that is concealed Cross to carry Coffins to fill Cost to burden For these sins Bridges burned, left with regrets No time left, for the innocent And gather your memories, or everything you ever cared about Long walk to the gallows, Up even higher with a longer way down Can’t take my eyes off this car crash, for A single second of the day One hand gives, one takes away No progress, zero sum game Distracted by dishonesty Smile to your face and a knife that can’t be seen Cross to carry Coffin to fill Cost to burden For these sins Bridges burned, filled with regrets No time left, for the innocent Try to force myself to see, a silver lined reality Half filled glasses in this nightmare dream When all that’s worth is stripped away, I’m not sure what we have left, this voyeuristic suicide The innocent have died

The foundation shook to the core No warning or time to come No fixing this, the damage do-hun To build great things takes sacrifice Elements break all the time Aiming big, break something beautiful How could you consider it could end up This way With all around you falling You see perfectly straight It’s crumbling so tear it down praying for what can’t be found Brick by Brick rebuild this dream Stronger than it’s ever been To gamble your last chance Divided on where to stand With the dice poised in your hand Take the choice so hard to make When everyone else looks away Never easy, always the same How could you consider It could turn out this way With all around you falling You see perfectly straight It’s crumbling lets tear it down praying for what can’t be found Brick by Brick rebuild this dream Stronger than it’s ever been It won’t be easy, but it is the answer breaking things to make something beautiful (x2)

So Serious 04:07
Hello, still me, it's never been easy Been here so long, starting to be creepy Master of predicting the past Lost your way, struggling to find your way back Deny the things in plain sight Taking the joy from every ride Right or wrong, you're just half the man I used to know Time to destress, no need to be so serious, why so serious? Puppets noosed on a string Out to dry like yesterday's topics On which side will the coin land? Hoping there's a way to make you see sense Deny the things in plain sight Taking the joy from every ride, for the last time Right or wrong, you're just half the man I used to know Time to destress, no need to be so serious, so serious Right or wrong, you're just half the man I used to know (Why so serious?) Time to destress, no need to be so serious (Why so serious?) Right or wrong (Why so serious?) You're just half the man I used to know (Why so serious?) Time to destress (Why so serious?) No need to be so serious Why so serious?

Cycles 04:06
It’s a matter, of life and death I don’t seem, to understand Flirt with wrong choices, close to the edge Lie to myself, that’s where I Prefer Keep trying, to fix this, destined to mirror it all again Down, familiar roads , stuck in a cycle again Tragedy overdrive, here too many times There’s where I need to be and there’s where I am As fast as it goes, all of the time Pushing boundaries, blurring lines Wreck less in approach, took life by the throat Then it stopped breathing, that’s when I choked On, a price too high to pay, keep , making the same mistakes Keep trying to fix this, destined to mirror it all again Down, the same ‘ol roads, stuck in a cycle again Tragedy overdrive, here too many times, There’s where I need to be, and where I am I’m not saying (x2) all oh my hope is gone I’m just saying (x2) history can’t be wrong There’s where I need to be and where I am I’ve tried so many things now, and still no change With this history, you’d never look back Before, you know, stuck in a cycle again There’s where I need to be and where I am There’s an ocean of excuses why I’m not there yet With a history like this, you’d delete your past Convinced, despite all this, something more than cycles exist Down the same ‘ol roads, stuck in a cycle again

Magnetic 03:57
Fragments, come together again Somehow, appear as unbroken Cracks don’t lie, but remind, fractures only hide Draws a line, point in time, a tattooed memory Ground down to dust, from here it’s big or bust Frantically fighting forces collide, just frenetic How to ensure the story is completed, always finds a way, it’s magnetic Turn over the staind page No one needs to know what you were thinking in that state Ground down to dust, from here it’s big or bust Frantically fighting forces collide, just frenetic How to ensure the story is completed, always finds a way, magnetic Can’t resist the draw, pulls me in and never let’s me go Can’t stop what will be, it’s magnetic you can’t fight it (Can’t stop op, what will be will be e,e,e) (Magnetic, you can’t fight eeet e,e,e) Can’t resist the draw, I’m a pawn, pulls me in and never lets me go What will be will be, it’s magnetic it is frightening
