I'm a short fuse I'm a fire about to ignite Hold the lighter Inside my eye i'm a short fuse I'm a bubble about to pop Just one more drop I can't stop Temper temper Why did you turn out the lights Temper temper You've started one to many fights Temper temper Stop making me live the way Temper temper Just let me be today My voice box was made to shout My lips were made to pout My heart was made to doubt My mind goes dizzy when I'm stressed My brain isn't ever so impressed From the outside I've regressed Temper temper Why did you turn out the lights Temper temper You've started one to many fights Temper temper Stop making me live the way Temper temper Just let me be today Turn the lights on Admit that I'm wrong Turn back the clock Turn the lights on Admit that I'm wrong turns back the clock Turn the lights on Admit that I'm wrong turns back the clock Temper temper Why did you turn out the lights Temper temper You've started one to many fights Temper temper Stop making me live the way Temper temper Just let me be today Turn the lights on Admit that I'm wrong Turn back the clock Turn the lights on Admit that I'm wrong turns back the clock Turn the lights on Admit that I'm wrong turns back the... Clock

You Can't Hide 02:56

Looking inside that blank stare I can see what's really there All the secrets I still know And the snake inside your throat You may fool the people around you But the shadows never lie I've seen your smile a thousand times But oh I've seen you cry You can't hide from me Your heart is made of stone Your ribs are made of gold And they're waiting to be sold You can't hide from me Your mind is dark as night Your skull glows by candle light But it's smoking out of fright You play those sweet scarlet cards Glittered with diamonds and hearts But I know the plans you made Swinging clubs and dirty spades Underneath those crystal eyes Are perfect sights you dispise That's why you're scared petrified When I see past the lies You can't hide from me Your heart is made of stone Your ribs are made of gold And they're waiting to be sold You can't hide from me Your mind is dark as night Your skull glows by candle light But it's smoking out of fright Let's play a little game We'll carry on just same While you cower under my name Cause I'm not the one to blame Let's play a little game We'll carry on just the same While you cower under my name Cause I'm not the one to blame You can't hide from me M heart is made of stone My ribs are paved with gold And I'm starting to get old You can't hide from me My mind is dark as night My skull strengthens in the light And I'm putting up a fight

Can You Tell 04:12

Can you tell that my insides are burning Can you tell that my stomach is churning Can you tell that I'm not okay Can you tell that I'm fighting the day Can you tell that I'm scared and lonely Can you tell that I'm drinking to cure me Can you tell that I'm better on my own Can you tell that I like to be alone I can't tell you how I'm feeling 'Cause I don't even know Don't know why there's pain inside me Inside my every single bone I can't tell you how I'm feeling 'Cause my heart is made of stone Or maybe it's finally melting I guess I'll never know Can you tell that I can't sleep at night Can you tell that I'm broken inside Can you tell that I'm falling apart Can you tell that I'm faking a heart Can you tell that I'm numb from this Can you tell that I'm tingling with pain Can you tell that I'm contradicting myself Can you tell that I'm going insane I can't tell you how I'm feeling 'Cause I don't even know Don't know why there's pain inside me Inside my every single bone I can't tell you how I'm feeling 'Cause my heart is made of stone Or maybe it's finally melting I guess I'll never know Can you tell that I'm screaming for help Through the eyes you think you know Can you tell that I'm shouting save me Through the lips telling you to go I can't tell you how I'm feeling Please just somehow will you know I can''t tell you how I'm feeling So I... I can't tell you how I'm feeling Please just somehow will you know I can''t tell you how I'm feeling So I just let you go

Survival 03:19

Scared for my life Everyday's a sacrifice I'm living to survive Save me I need to revive Scared for my life Teetering on the edge of the knife I'm living to survive Saved me I need to revive Every night I hear the screams Can't tell if they are real They sure as hell aren't my dreams Reality's ripping at the seams The times when I'm alone Are the times when I don't know That I'm safe but I'm not whole And I'm not in control Scared for my life Everyday's a sacrifice I'm living to survive Save me I need to revive Scared for my life Teetering on the edge of the knife I'm living to survive Saved me I need to revive I'm not safe in this small hole Broken never whole Every wound that left open Left me on the ground still copin' Let the rain wash away the scars Memories still leave there mark I'll just hide in the dark Hoping for a tiny spark Scared for my life Everyday's a sacrifice I'm living to survive Save me I need to revive Scared for my life Teetering on the edge of the knife I'm living to survive Saved me I need to revive Dig dig dig dig Dig that hole Weep weep weep weep Mourn my soul Run run run run Watch me go Say goodbye to my home Dig dig dig dig Dig that hold Weep weep weep weep Mourn my soul Run run run run Watch me go Say goodbye to my home [INSTRUMENTAL] Dig dig dig dig Dig that hole Weep weep weep weep Mourn my soul Run run run run Watch me go Say goodbye to my home Dig dig dig dig Dig that hold Weep weep weep weep Mourn my soul Run run run run Watch me go Say goodbye to my home Scared for my life Everyday's a sacrifice I'm living to survive Save me I need to revive Scared for my life Teetering on the edge of the knife I'm living to survive Saved me I need to revive

Plastic Bones 05:44
lyrics
buy track
A dream in a mind full of sin People walk in plastic bones and cellophane skin People walk as if they're alone. Blow eachother's brains out Because they forgot how to be nice Camoflage their soldiers with a noble cause Forget they are lions, not mice. have you ever stopped and looked at the dead men walking round The schools standing on crumbled ground The children never learnt how to make a sound They walk because they can They talk because they can They fall because they can They fight because they can Smoke their flithy cigarettes Because they don't care about their insides Forget their childhood memories Get lost in the goodbyes Ignore their ability to speak Because behind thick walls Shouting is just pointless Noone can hear their calls Have you ever stopped and looked At the prisons holding lies The families saying their goodbyes The church full of beehives They walk because they can They talk because they can They fall because they can They fight because they can Lay in bed at night Because they can't sleep anymore Search inside their brains They forgot what they stand for. Work for a living So they can afford to die Dream of a life worth living Not just to see what happens over time Dream of living a lie Have you ever stopped and looked At the broken, dusty guitars The electric songs playing in bars The lack of flying cars They walk because they can They talk because they can They fall because they can They fight because they can Hate eachother so much Because they don't understand Discriminate those who don't Hold the right genders hand Carry on the same facade Because they still talk about it Blacks against whites Forget it's all meaningless. Have you ever stopped and looked? At the empty, broken town The unhappy corrupted clown The young who'd happily drown They walk because they can They talk because they can They fall because they can They fight because they can We shout because they can't hear us We forget because remembering hurts We ignore because we weren't taught to listen We dream because reality can burn. We'll march because we can We'll speak because we can We'll rise because we can They fight because we can People walk in plastic bones And celophane skin People walk as if they're alone. Because they think they cannot win. In plastic bones and cellophane skin They think they cannot win. In solid bones and impervious skin They think they cannot win. They don't know what they're trying to win. Have you ever stopped and looked At their brave but lonely smiles The concrete stretching for miles The innocent getting lost for a while We shout because they can't hear us We forget because remembering hurts We ignore because we weren't taught to listen We dream because reality can burn. In plastic bones and cellophane skin
