Songs Without Choice

Living in suspicion
Of what motives await
Every action you make
Is an action too late
In this new normal
Are songs without choice
In this new normal
You no longer have a voice
What do we know about love,
When all we know is pain?
What do we know about love?
Are we going insane?
Downtown Soho, one fateful night
You caught the wrong pairs of eyes
Forced into a corner
Lubricated with your cries
In this new normal
Are songs without choice
In this new normal
You no longer have a voice
What do we know about love,
When all we know is pain?
What do we know about love?
Are we going insane?
We've gone insane
From embrace to embrace,
The memory remains
High fives and photographs;
A canvas of stains
From embrace to embrace,
The memory remains
High fives and photographs;
A canvas of stains

Destroyer
03:37
|
|
||
|
Laced in black,
He went inside
Led with hidden hand
Another pawn
In another plan
Left with one night stands
Destroyer; you called my name
Destroyer; you’re in my game
Throttled down
You squealed in joy:
“He's another toy!”
One more pawn
In one more plan
Dreams as faint as joy
Destroyer; you called my name
Destroyer; you’re in my game
Cast aside
Like your concern
When I pried you open
Destroyer; you called my name
Destroyer; you’re in my game

Cold Inside
04:11
|
|
||
|
You'll never know how much I love you
You'll never know how much you mean
It's brushed aside every night
Just like our clothes and our concern
I'm cold inside
I'm cold inside
Why do you care what we are?
Aren't we always having fun?
Motions rinse and repeat
Through procedures that were learned
My love is endless
Inward and reserved
My love is endless.. for myself
My love is endless for myself
I'm cold inside
I'm cold inside

Armchair Denial
02:53
|
|

|
Webs have been spun again
You shut the door
Switched on the fire
You know the score
Or so you think
As truth draws near
Light breaks the blue
The outcome clear
What do you know about anything?
What do you know about anything?
What do you know about anything?
Recite the mantra:
“It’s her own fault”
An easy fix for
Vengeful assault
When those you love
Walk the same streets
Will you find them crying
In your back seat?
What do you know about anything?
What do you know about anything?
What do you know about anything?
Suspicion marks your every move
Contemptuous, stuck in the groove
Suspicion marks your every move
Contemptuous, stuck in the groove
What do you know about anything?
What do you know about anything?
What do you know about anything?

Numbed Bodies
05:39
|
|
||
|
What am I supposed to feel when I lie in bed with you?
All I know is fear and hate towards all I can’t hold true
Take me home, throw away the key
I don’t want to be seen again
We slither aimlessly around, desperation in life row
At light we’ll hide away, self contained, it’s the only hope we know
Take me home, throw away the key
I don’t want to be seen again
Every hour, every day
I’ll plead to fuck the pain away
And you’ll oblige
You’re just as void
Ignored, abused
In search of any form of joy
We’ll dance around
Our bodies numbed
We’ll dance around
To try and feel
We’ll dance around
Our bodies numbed
We’ll dance around
To try and feel… anything
I cannot feel anything

Always looking to be saved
Amidst every broken shrove
One broken home too many
Always watched from above
Your respite is overtime
Your solitude is your confine
Your salvation; his elation
When's enough? You don't decide
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love?
Pray for the trauma to disappear
In the house which you confide
Sunday comes, there's no difference
It's your mouth you shall revile
Protected by strong men of God
"He's just a boy up to no good!"
To be holy is to obey
Perhaps in death, they'll understand
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love?
Will you climb every mountain high?
What would you do for love?
Will you suck your master dry?

Summer Flames, Part 1
04:27
|
|
||
|
She couldn’t wait to see the world
She couldn’t wait to tell her friends
But when you took her by the throat
She couldn’t wait for life to end
Summer flames
Etched in the mind
No self control
Forced from behind
Summer flames
Aren’t meant to last
Too late to go back and
Bury your past
What’s life worth when you cannot trust?
A drunken shell midst blackout blinds
Netflix blasts to distract
From all the closure you won't find
Summer flames
Etched in the mind
No self control
Forced from behind
Summer flames
Aren’t meant to last
Too late to go back and
Bury your past
She can't face another day
Would you face another day?
Summer flames
Etched in the mind
No self control
Forced from behind
Summer flames
Aren’t meant to last
Too late to go back and
Bury your past

Houses of comfort
Meet summer flames
Once scattered thoughts
Blazing with blame
"Who have I served?"
You can't confirm
"What's my life worth?"
It's uncertain
Oh, tell me why, we endure.. these wrongs shall right
Tell me why, we endure.. remain in fright
Tell me why, we endure.. a walk of shame
Tell me why, we endure.. through summer flames
Sunk in your chair, you lust for youth
Sunk in your chair, you lust for youth
Sunk in your chair, you lust for youth
Sunk in despair, they lust.. for stolen life
