A Fire in My Lungs

Once again I feel a fire in my lungs
I feel the cutting of new scars
The breaking of old hearts
Oh, once again I find no refuge in my sleep
I am haunted by demons
Made of scales and bloody teeth
I ride low, take it easy
Relax, I've been here before
But every time hurts like the first time
When I break down and I say your name, Cynthia
Cynthia, you're a wonderful thief
You never took a thing
No, you just tricked me into giving you everything
And I know you, I know what you're gonna say
You're gonna say,
"No, that ain't my problem"
"That ain't my responsibility"
But you're wrong, like always
You gotta take care of those who take care of you
I did all I could to treat you good and right
And your thanks was a cold and short goodbye
That set fire to my lungs
Once again I'm standing on my own feet
Fighting through the heartache
Fighting through the pain and all of this misery
I ride low, take is easy
But it's hard when you're this naive
You can beg all you want but I can't forgive you
I can only let this go if you let me be
Cynthia

Maddie the Miracle

Maddie the miracle
When she laughs I feel myself float away
When I catch her smiling I feel my heart start to sing
She makes everywhere just a little brighter
Everyone just a little lighter
Everyday it's own little piece of art
Maddie the miracle
When she speaks there's no other sound I hear
Sirens and bombshells can't stir me
Whenever she is near
She throws me into a loving trance
A mysteriously strong romance
Seeing that I've never said a word

In the palace of the king
Just ask and receive
The richest golds and lushest greens
A new life for you and me
A world of pillows and blankets
Honey and milk
Nights by the fire
Chocolate and silk
In the palace of the king
We live our lives knee deep in dreams
While the beggars
They sing of a life filled with beautiful things
In the palace of the king
There's and ever haunting feeling
That nothing here can really be
These empty halls are all too clean
Is there a shadow behind me?
I don't want to look
I'll stay in if it's alright
Alone with my book
In the palace of the king
I spend my days drowning in dreams
While the killers,
They sing of all of their wonderful deeds

A Million Little Cracks
03:28
|
|||
|
I feel like I'm gonna break
I feel a million little cracks beneath my skin
I feel thoughts like a tidal wave
Crashing on the shore of my mind
I twist and I tear, motionless in front of the mirror
Point blank to an empty stare
I've been oh so close, but never here
I feel like I'm gonna break

When it's late at night
And you're whispering love songs softly in my ear
Could you do me a little favor
And whisper just a little louder dear?
Cause you know that I love you
But I gotta know that you love me too
And you know that I need you
But I wanna know that you need me too
So when you're close to me
And you hold me tight
Look at me with your bright blue eyes
Could you give to me
Could you open up?
Could you tell me something that you feel inside?

Ain't Broken Yet
03:46

I get beat up I get thrown around
You chew me up and you spit me out
You set me up to get taken down
Ima keep my cool I ain't gonna shout
But I'm sick and tired of gettin pushed around
Ima take a breath Ima stare you down
Ima make you sweat Ima stand my ground
Ima brush the dirt off my shoulder now
Cause I ain't broken yet
I started life with a hope and pray
That those around me would show me the way
But that don't happen cause life ain't fair
We all got something thats hard to bear
But explanation ain't no excuse
You fuck with me I fuck harder with you
It's hard enough without your petty abuse
Were all just trying to pay the dues
And I ain't broken yet
You see my smile you see a chance
To set you up and to make me dance
But you don't see it for what it is
A sign of hard earned resilience
You had a life that taught you wrong
That love is weak and hate is strong
But know my laugh is a sword of love
An open message to all above
I ain't broken yet

A Fading Light
04:56
|

What is this drug
Is it something dangerous
Or is it just a dream that wrings and writhes
The sea of dark
A lovers light
What is this drug
Is it someone dangerous
Or is it just a stare that stole my pride
The gathering mist
Her fading light
Now she's disappeared
Left me here
Lost in the fog of the world
What is this drug
Please god tell me that it's love
And not just another lovers fading light
Cause my heart is too weak
To feed another pair of hungry arms
And my hope is too faint
To light a path through the dark

Hope Lift Me Up

Hope fill me up, keep me warm
As I step into the unknown
As I reach for something new
Heart light the way
So when I stumble I can stay on the path of love
The only path I know is true
Cause this life
It throws me up and it kicks me down
I feel like my feet never touch the ground
But when I'm filled with fear and doubt
I just hold me head up high
And I shout,
Joy fill me up
Hope lift me up
Faith keep me up
Oh!
Now the night it ends
I catch the sun peeking over the horizon
It's warmth fills me through and through
The birds start to sing
The squirrels jumping through the trees
And I turn around
Blow a kiss to all my pain
