Cracks In Your Smile 04:16
lyrics
buy track
In a blink of the eye We've seen 10 years go by Back then we'd drink into the night Until the sun began to rise Nowadays it's like a dream Almost a movie scene Nostalgia fills the memories And makes recalling them so sweet So she turns to me Always so patiently Sometimes the truth is hard to take But she still looks at me and says We're not getting any younger There's no need to be ashamed Just stacking up your secrets As the flame begins to fade And is it really any wonder That we need to medicate It's just another vice to feed Cracks in your smile give it away Sometimes we put our wants Ahead of all our needs We're all wired up the same Our desires make us complete Look at how far we've come Further than anyone We built a life out on our own We called so many places home Now my patience frays More and more these days I try my best to keep the peace I still struggle 'cause it means We're not getting any younger There's no need to be ashamed Just stacking up your secrets As the flame begins to fade And is it really any wonder That we need to medicate It's just another vice to feed Cracks in your smile give it away Another night out in the trenches We sit and wait for day to break Right now were holding our defenses But they'll learn to communicate I hope you know in the beginning Is how I still feel to this day I've let the pressures leave me jaded Cracks in my smile on full display No one's getting any younger There's no need to be afraid Just packing up your dreams As the last song begins to play Did somebody steal your thunder When you went the extra mile it can be today's excuse Another crack earned for your smile

Caged 03:14
lyrics

This white blinding heat sends a shock down my spine So just leave me be with my demons tonight But you stay and you stray head in the line of fire I can't protect you believe me I've tried I'm Caged in what I am and what I was This rage inside is tearing me apart The pain I've caused weighs heavy on my mind Still searching for the peace I hope to find But I'm still Caged I know how it looks but it's not all my fault Repeating the tasks, expect different results You can bury the past and move on if you try Just burn the bones so the spirit can die I'm Caged in what I am and what I was This rage inside is tearing me apart The pain I've caused weighs heavy on my mind Still searching for the peace I hope to find But I'm still Caged Keep your dignity Ignore the resentment inside It will hold for another night So turn the other cheek Have you lost the will to fight? I'm Caged in what I am and what I was This rage inside is tearing me apart The pain I've caused weighs heavy on my mind Still searching for the peace I hope to find But I'm still Caged Biting my tongue till the blood and spit bind Slipping for months but denying the signs In a war not worth winning I'm leading the blind To the Kingdom of fools where I'll lay down and die

You know I'm Right 03:24
lyrics

They came to claim the ash Of the ones they left behind Of the weak and of the fools Of the old and of the blind The presence of the past Ruptured all the wounds inside Time can never heal If the love inside you died I only see you In the rear view I can't see why I'd change my mind when Say it's all true People see through Webs of lies fake sacrifice Your tired eyes You know I'm right The peace can never last With resentment in our minds Blame your failings on a child Instead of swallowing your pride Another house we call a home A home I never seem to find One more souvenir Of the guidance you denied I only see you In the rear view I can't see why I'd change my mind when Say it's all true People see through Webs of lies fake sacrifice Your tired eyes You know I'm right

Sever 04:53

Wall crumble down in a second Step away from the world that was mine Held together by fear and resentment Just a few words they took down foundations of lies Now the next day is so full of promise Free from shackles that wore down our souls And I think in the end that we both understood The years that you may give don't mean nothing at all Now we're free What will you be I feel like taking some time For my own peace of mind While I bleed Now that you're free Paint a version of me I'll accept graciously just to be on my way Now we're free Friendships will fade if you let them Ties erode as the years flow on by Add the things I desire to collections Sit unused on a shelf cause I don't have the time In the end is there real satisfaction When the struggles we fight are all gone Shaping souls with our every reaction Take at look the damage and tell me I'm wrong Now we're free What will you be I feel like taking some time For my own peace of mind While I bleed Now that you're free Paint a version of me I'll be the villain who broke all the trust that you saved Or the monster who took all the goodness you gave You can tell anyone how it's just me to blame I'll accept graciously just to be on my way Now we're free I want you to know that you hold a place no one can take And the temper you see every day is my burden to shake The love that locked in from the first breath you took Nothing else can prepare you no teachers or books And I'll promise right now I'll do all that I can To sever the cycle and become a better man Now we're free What will you be I feel like taking some time For my own peace of mind While I bleed Now that you're free Paint a version of me I'll be the villain who broke all the trust that you saved Or the monster who took all the goodness you gave You can tell anyone how it's just me to blame I'll accept graciously just to be on my way Now we're free
