Lyrics

1. FADE

You said "Just show me what you wanna be, I will never stand in your way",
Take it back and then you say again, "tell me what you wanna be, I will never stand in your way"

You know I sat here thinking just the other day, what it was you said to make me snap,
You were always gonna be my friend, you're not the enemy, "I will never stand in you way"

Yeah but in my mind I see clearer

Take me back into the other day when I was so proud to hear myself.
You would slap me and I know this sucks, you're just the enemy, "I will never stand in you way"

Yeah but in my mind I see clearer now, that I've found somewhere to rest my head

In time I guess this will fade
In time I guess this will fade

You said "show me what you wanna be, I will never stand in your way",
take it back and then you say again, "tell me what you wanna be, I will never stand in your way"

Yeah but in my mind I see clearer now, that I've found somewhere to rest my head

In time I guess this will fade
In time I guess this will fade

In time I guess this will fade
In time I guess this will fade

Slap me up again, just slap me up again (In time I guess this will fade)
Slap me up again, just slap slap me up again (In time I guess this will fade)
Slap me up again, just slap slap me up again (In time I guess this will fade)
Slap me up again, just slap slap me up again (In time I guess this will fade)

In time I guess this will fade
In time I guess this will fade


2. DA-REKA

(feat. Grant Mcculloch of Heavy Weight Champ)

What's on your mind I dare to ask
The feeling within we try to mask
Broken again, the stars
Those steel pews, they part
Now you realize what just passed you by
You want some?

Head out, I pray for you
It's so soft and safe
And life forgives
The gift they took from you
Say too late, I've become what I most fear
To change could make my view seem so clear

The pain
Why you wanna step through me
What did those eyes just see
Nothing left here but the replica
The replica exists here

Say too late, I've become what i most fear
To change could make my view seem so clear

The pain
Why you wanna step through me
What did those eyes just see
Nothing left here but the replica
The replica exists here

Stop heading cause your never gonna touch me
Stop heading cause your never gonna touch this
Stop heading cause your never gonna touch me
Stop heading cause your never gonna see...

You'll see, reality escapes
From what I've found
This is not for me to say
Go your way, find yourself
Go your way, let this be my shelf

So come test this
Now come test it
So come test this
Now come test it
So come test this
Now come test this
So come test this
Now come test this

Hey...

Who am I to stand here before
Who am I to stand here before
A question that's raised
So you better just answer
You're thinking fast,
You think you're better
Who am I to stand alone
Who am I to stand alone
Feel the burning, take control
I want it back, the life you stole

The pain
Why you wanna step through me
What did those eyes just see
Nothing left here but the replica
The replica exists here

Stop heading cause your never gonna touch me
Stop heading cause your never gonna touch this
Stop heading cause your never gonna touch me
Stop heading cause your never gonna see...

You'll see, reality escapes
From what I've found
This is not for me to say
Go your way, find yourself
Go your way...


3. HEADCASE

For what it's worth, I feel it slip away
I've become immune, woke up in a daze
Show me what you mean, take away from me
Everything I have, everything I need.
Suck me dry.

You don't come, you don't write, you listen...
I'm a messenger sent and I know it's in my head,
my mind's wasted.
For the last time please pull me under,
I can take anything and I know it's my, It's rising.

So now it seems that you push me away
Further than I've been, but not too far to stay
Here where I belong, where my soul can rest
I need time to heal, I need time to see.
You've sucked me dry.

You don't come, you don't write, you don't listen
I'm a messenger sent and I know it's in my head
my mind's wasted.
For the last time please pull me under
I can take anything and I know it's my, It's rising.

And so you emerge, like a butterfly
but so dangerously are you
BEAUTIFUL TONIGHT, DROWN ME IN THE SHADOWS WON'T YOU?
YOU WALK AWAY, I LOOK AWAY.

Lift me up I want to see
Then drag me down from everything
In this I cannot see the end
And I will only be your friend?

Tears Drop and my eyes close
Tears Drop and my eyes close
Tears Drop and my eyes close
Tears Drop and my eyes close

Problems imaged, after me
Come on this' in yo head not the face
Come on this' in yo head not the face
Oh, Come on they say "what's the problem, you're the problem, now"
Sent to me
Come on this' in yo head not the face
Come on this' in yo head not the face
Oh, Come on they say "what's the problem, you're the problem"

You don't come, you don't write, you don't listen,
I'm a messenger sent and I know it's in my head,
my mind's wasted.

You don't come, you don't write, you don't listen,
I'm a messenger sent and I know it's in my head,
my mind's away(awake[?]).
For the last time please pull me under,
I can take anything and I know it's my, It's rising.


4. FEATHERWEIGHT

Down with the heavy drift feel the undertow,
And then the pulling away from something you hold,
All this shit has gotta stop,
All poppin off inside my brain!
Watch again and you will see to,
I’m taking back what’s mine and yours,
What you can and you deny
This pain is instinct.

No stepping back,
No stepping back,
No stepping back in the real world.

C’mon bring it back,
C’mon then give it back,
No takin' back in the real world.

Tell me that you’re pleased to jump
I’m the lyrical wizard, ripping up this pad.
What you say is nothing meaning
I’m the cop, the saint, the primate
I’m illicit to come and change you
But you take it, but you won’t break this pain
But what you can and you deny
The pain is instinct

No stepping back,
Your stepping back,
Your stepping back in the real world

C’mon and give it back,
Just bring it back,
You’re stepping back in the real world.

I’m the only, yes the only
I’m the only taste for your cruel mouth
I’m the only, yes the only
I’m the only taste for your cruel mouth

For reach I stay inside
Would you walk away, don’t hide
To reach I stay inside
But now I’m feeling you
I don’t come around, anymore because of you.
Mama tell me why I’ve been, upset to this point in.
Mama tell me why, Mama tell me why,
Mama tell me why, Mama tell me why,

Swear you!

Somebody yell, where there’s problem I know it’s true
So you lie and I stare, who gave you my space in?
I don’t need this shit it’s not alright,
When you walk away and you find,
I don’t need this shit it’s not alright,
When you walk away, yes you walk away yeah.

Tell em all not to get inside.

You are always gonna be in my constant sight
You are always gonna be in my constant sight
You are always gonna be in my constant sight.

Guess at the crawl with the show it’ll bring

Swear you!


5. SOME MORE OF THE SAME

Don't stand so close
Don't stand so close
Don't stand so close

It's just some more of the same

Same...[echo]

Say man into the mind, the place that you know
The feelings so fast, your stripped to the bone
Taken the time to learn what's within
The feelings so fast, I can't give in
Listen to me I'll tell you a song
Within your vowels are stripped to the bone
Taking the time to learn whats at heart
I've given it up, I'm giving you a chance

Its just some more of the same, you
It's just some more of a shame
Just give me someone to blame, you
Say let's have some more

Same...[echo]

Say man into the mind, the place that you know
The feelings so fast, your stripped to the bone
Taken the time to learn what you know
The feelings so fast, I can't let go
Listen to me I'll tell you a song
Within your vowels are stripped to the bone
Taking the time to learn whats within
I've given it up, I'm giving you a name

It's just some more of the same, you
It's just some more of a shame
Just give me someone to blame, you
Say let's have some more

Say whats on in your mind, just to fake it away
Just to show I'm inside, just to turn up today
So you laugh and you learn, yeh you take what you take
Up and down in this world, rip it up in vain
I'm listening as you fall, I'm running away from you, yes I am
I see that stare in your own fly, I see that stare in your own eye
A message left for you

Yes I am the thats gonna let you go
Yes I am the thats gonna let me go
Yes I am the thats gonna let you go
Yes I am the thats coming back for you
This is why I'm here with what I have to say
This is why I'm here with what I have to say
This is why I'm here for you
I'm ripping up and they cant control me, you
