Torch 03:22
I can see your eyes Back and forth this ain't no way to fly Making this your right All this time you waste away my life Back and forth tonight Ain't no way to fly Chorus Here we stay all night Cause it seems the holiest of nights Lead the way your light To right the reasons save your life Here we stay all night The walls you run for pushed aside Lead the way your light Cause it seems the holiest of nights When you're criticized, you will do just anything to survive Water in your eyes, you can see quite clearly to your demise My insecticide, flushing out my psyche clear my mind Fundamental lies, all this time you waste away my life Back and forth tonight Ain't no way to fly Chorus Guitar Solo Chorus Outro
2.
Daze 03:17
When you walk away Leaving me the same old reasons to stay Only yesterday Came and went you gave it all away Yesterday Came and went in a daze Yesterday Only yesterday Came and Went you gave it all away Like a hand grenade Once you're activated you can't be strayed You're a hurricane Mass destruction nothing stands in the way Only yesterday Came and went you gave it all away Chorus I can see your eyes Deep inside the answers there no lies Creating this divide Overestimating my own compliance Guitar Solo I can see your eyes Deep inside the answers there no lies Creating this divide Left alone to toy with my own device repeat intro chorus outro

Shadows on the wall Face I can't recall I'm in the beasts jaws It makes my skin crawl Patches in my brain Never feel the same Keeping me on call Planning my downfall You can't see what you've done to me Honey black sensations like you won't believe Kill the power watch it stall Flank the masses as they crawl Feed the demon side and fear the fratricide It's all for one not one for all Chorus Guitar solo Falling into line Out of space and time I'm in the beasts jaws It makes my skin crawl Scratches down your face Never out of place Keeping me on call Planning my downfall Chorus You can't see what it means to me Darling black sensations that you can't perceive
4.
Stay Home 03:48
Stay home and wait with me And watch this suffering A globe style darkening Stay home and wait with me repeat Time passed me by just in a second like a blink right in your eye One passerby catches a minute of your time, the universe floats by At home we waste away It's time to seize the day Unite or all decays Push on for better days Chorus Bridge Outro
5.
Secret Side 04:18
It's better off this way, we've lost another day The trees are swinging birds are singing Summer times in sway So take care what you see, accept this offering, the time is now we've said our vows so listen to us sing From our hearts, we won't drift apart Slow breeze believe it's felt a million miles away Softly scream the words you're struggling to say Those mean the most so don't you ghost the ones who wake these things in you Show us the secret side of you So here we are again, uncertainty it lends We've crashed and burned and took a turn and now we're born again So think of what you see, and how it ought to be This back and forth is outta sorts so listen to us sing Pre chorus Chorus Guitar solo Chorus
6.
Fifth Degree 05:31
Wait, what you see Is just the truest form of me if you can't find it set me free But believe, it's in the fifth degree and it's the truest friend that I can be In a way, we're just floating in utmost dismay what you say, well me I am confused like you And it's true, we've seen a few Of those years, they go by Back and forth it's just a last resort This is our final retort Summer day that you just cast away We won't be silenced no more We define these years gone by By letting out what sits inside A final song a last request The perfect part to fit the rest With you and it's true We've seen a few Of those years that go by They sit inside of our hearts and they last You can forgive the past is the past Think of that Guitar solo Chorus
7.
Fine Wine 02:45
Through all this time I was yours you were mine I draw this line with my blood drink this wine You wanted more and I gave it to you You wanted more it was true Unwanted expectations Clear out your mind frustrations Woah x2 But baby please can't you see you're the finest to me Across the sea space and time we don't mind we will meet Your hand in mine cross the line hearts are blind I can't see But baby please can't you see you're like fine wine to me I wasn't sure then my heart hit the floor Opened the door we were lost nevermore I can't conceive what it was in between I can't conceive what it means Pre chorus Chorus Guitar solo Chorus/outro
8.
I measure you with bloodshot eyes What better view to see with These are the best days of our lives A day with you spent in disguise It's nothing new to sit with It's time to open up your mind To find a better place and time, to gain a different frame of mind A culture falling in decline To cultivate to grow and learn that's when society will turn The pages of the book it's burned To you this may concern And now we quicken up our pace This is a call to action before the wrong ones take our place And I'll still see you here and there The fork was in the road but love is the one thing we all share Chorus Guitar solo Chorus
9.
I don't know what it means to be true Back to the start now with you I can't see what the future may hold It's real but it's not set in stone Close your eyes and you'll see As I'm sitting here braving the cold Ripping the words from my soul Now I ruminate ponder the past Knowing the feeling won't last Dried up cracked up berated and torn Nothing left over to mourn Now I feel so lucid and frail Slammed by the bars my own jail Close your eyes you'll see Take the pain away for another day Masquerade it hurts so hard to be true Throw it all away for a different day Wait is over time to hang up the noose Don't walk away, don't walk away Cause you know we all know this ain't you It's time to hang up the noose Guitar solo Chorus outro

Twitch 02:20
You're running around Playing all the same things on repeat I'm coming to town Would it be all bad if we could meet Don't wanna waste away my life with you I'm coming around, won't be too long fore I'm complete I want it I need it I'm never gonna leave it I want it I need it I'm never gonna leave it It's outta touch and way too much this back and forth repeating such a drag I'm never gonna leave it Before too long History it all comes back again You wrote this song I admit I just picked up the pen Don't wanna waste away my life with you I'm coming around, won't be too long fore I'm complete Chorus Guitar solo Chorus Want it and I need it and I'm never gonna leave it Want it and I need it and I'm never gonna leave it It's back and forth and outta sorts you're so conceited that it hurts you're outta touch and way too much this back and forth repeating such a drag

One makes five if you try Watch this life pass you by Fuck with me you will see What this life's meant to be Seasons change follow suit Cut through time if you choose Full intention to deceive Make things right come with me Full disclosure of the soul Swallow pride make it whole Somethings written on the wall Changing colors like the fall Chorus Guitar solo Seasons change starts with you Transcend time if you choose Somethings written on the wall Changing colors heed the call
12.
Whispers make me wanna shout Trapped inside I wanted out What you give you want it Co dependent on it Silence speaking much too loud What it takes makes me feel only stray to what is real Always try justify what I give to you you steal While I tried to be like you We'd be chasing angels soon What I died to help you see Woke this animal in me Room so quiet I could scream Less you talk the more it bleeds White noise talking louder Wasted shotgun powder Waking nightmares in your dreams Pre chorus While I tried to be like you We'd be chasing angels soon What I died to help you see Woke this animal in me Summer thrives in winters grave This oppressive nature stays What I died to help you see Woke this animal in me Guitar solo Chorus
13.
Complacent vices on my hand contrived divisive master plan Mislead deceivers non believers and they're waiting for the call Pushed past the point of no return who set me up to watch me burn You'll never hurt us can't reverse us watch your presidency fall Always believe the writings on your sleeve Not hard to read when written honestly Step back to see the panoramic scene It's time to leave We are full grown now Even though they cast me out In the upside down Split the earth just to put us underground You can't see us and can't defeat us cause We are full grown now I'll pry these vices from my hands discard the popular demand It's not the first time we've been cursed by circumstances unforeseen Push through the valley of the damned emerged a bitter callous man I've never seen it but believing it is no issue for me Our ways never changed yet feel so different the diffidence once riddled here is gone But flames remain, it burns too much to taste pre chorus chorus guitar solo Chorus

Sunrise 05:06
Wait and see just what tomorrow brings Place and time will to receive But the tigers they come at night And they push you to get you to fight Hush go to sleep see what the future just might bring Stay on your time one with the sunrise It's deified and it's rectified it's a bastard child of night Pull the plug like you're on the run fight or flight Call to find forced from the outside Balled too tight won't let me in But the bastards they come at night And they push you to get you to fight Chorus Guitar solo Chorus
