Numb
03:42

Look into yourself
What do you not know?
Hold your hand tight
Don't let go
(I can only see the silence
I can only see the empty space)
What can't you see?
What's holding you still?
Sear your hand in the fire
Do you feel the pain?
Your blood burning hot
A bruised black stain
Or is it all just numb?

Armour
04:00

You hold on hard getting knocked around
Hold on and take a blow right to your face
Lips cracked open with the stain of blood
Could've sworn I saw you go for another taste
Black and blue and dripping red
A sweeter pain than the words inside your head
Too pink and raw to be said out loud
Give me sweat and scars on a shining coat of armour
You don't wanna try
Don't wanna try
Don't wanna try
But there's something in there
That you've lost
There's something in there
That you've lost
You beat it out from your aching bones
Beat it into the body of another man
A dance of steel and stone cold eyes
Two faceless friends with iron fists for hands
You let it out but it's not enough
Beneath your armour you might break
Get up and laugh but it's all too much
Inside the mind you're trying to escape
You don't wanna try
Don't wanna try
Don't wanna try
But there's something in there
That you've lost
There's something in there
That you've lost

Waiting For Her
04:21

Lyrics:
She is a girl who sees
More than her eyes can hold
In daring tones she speaks
With words heavier than gold
He is a boy she now needs
To carry her every step further
He is the only book she reads
He is where she finds her words
She hangs from his arms
Entangled in his gaze
He gives her kisses and warmth
Thaws her frozen veins
And I'm still waiting for her
I'm still waiting for her to come
But I'm not sure she can breathe
I'm not so sure she can breathe with him
Still and silent as stone
She now stands here before me
alone
Her eyes are cold and hard
I do not think she can see
I reach out my hand to touch her
To feel the warm blood in her cheeks
But her skin is a shimmering pale blue
And my fingers slip right through
There is nothing to see here.
And I'm still waiting for her
I'm still waiting for her to come
But I'm not sure she can breathe
I'm not so sure she can breathe without him

Dirty Skin
03:30
|
|

And though you saw me standing there
With painted cheeks and a blood red stare
And though you watched me fall to wreck
Your grubby fingers round my neck
You try to make yourself forget
Your hands itching with the sweat
Of fear that I am still there
That I still remember
Tears won’t clean your dirty skin
Or wipe the shine from my grin
Your eyes on the water’s reflection
As I dive into the deep end
As I dive into the deep end
And though you dragged me through your mess
I scrubbed the grime of your footsteps
I bore your weight with my own chained feet
As you dangled into the jaws of the street
And you left me
Searching through the demons of your sleep
For some kind of key
You didn’t want to see
Tears won’t clean your dirty skin
Or wipe the shine from my grin
Your eyes on the water’s reflection
As I dive into the deep end
As I dive into the deep end

Quiet Here
04:51
|
|
||
It's quiet here
Words choked behind our tongues
Stuck inside the shaking-fear
Of empty too-tight lungs
I paint pretty pictures
To fill the gaps of your face
The vital missing features
Of an empty boy-shaped space
I never did find you
It's quiet here
The deafening white walls
Streaked with unshed tears
And scars that seem too small
Crumbling apart
You slipped away softly
I grew strange in your arms
Before you leaned how to hold me
I never did find you
Was it all in my head?
Were you all in my head?
Playing with fire
That was never set alight
Never set flight
We're safe here
In our quiet not quite right
(Never did find you)
