I’m not quite ready yet
I just can’t accept
I’m not quite ready yet
To say goodbye
I’m unsteady as of late
I can’t breathe
I can’t see straight
Breathless, drowning in your wake
I close my eyes
I’m not quite ready yet and I just can’t accept
I’m not quite ready yet
To say goodbye
I’ve been up till daybreak
Sick to my stomach
Wide awake
Can’t deal with this heartache
A place beyond vision’s reach
There again, we’ll finally meet
Between worlds, between time’s breach
Where broken hearts are made complete
Where broken hearts are made complete
I’m not quite ready yet
To say goodbye
I wanna feel your arms around my neck
We’ll escape straight into the sunset
I wanna feel your heart against my chest
We’ll be together again I promise
I’m not quite ready yet
I just cannot accept
No I’m not quite ready yet
To say goodbye
Lost inside this hell of mine
Searching for a light to let in
I’ll never be alright
Searching for the remedy
Searching for a truth within me
Or any trace of light
I wanna feel your arms around my neck
I wanna feel your heart against my chest
I wanna feel your arms around my neck
We’ll escape straight into the sunset
I wanna feel your heart against my chest
We’ll be together again I promise
I’m not quite ready yet
I just cannot accept
No I’m not quite ready yet
To say goodbye
To say goodbye
I’m not quite ready yet
To say goodbye
I’m not quite ready yet
I just cannot accept
No I’m not quite ready yet
To say goodbye
To say goodbye
Goodbye

Wishful Thinking

Woke up this morning
To find out that the rents past due
Showed up to work late
My boss told me I’m firing you
Just found out my friend is dying
And I’m feeling blue
My girlfriend told me, she’s moving onto someone new
We’ve all got problems
I guess you’d say I’ve got a few
My biggest fear is finding out that i am just see through
All the while
Everyone’s telling me to just stay true
I guess there’s only one thing left to do
Just enjoy the view
Pull myself together
Take a look inside
Open up my head
Nothing but Delta 9
No one but my demons
To confide in
Why do I always got my foot on a landmine
Yeh I know
It’s more than Wishful Thinking
Despite my problems
I know that they’re not shrinking
Take it from me
When you look back you’ll see
Your shadow’s bigger when you’re close to
Who you’re meant to be
Yeh I know
It’s more than Wishful Thinking
Yeh I know
It’s more than Wishful Thinking
You know I’ve been to Hell and back
Seen a darkness that’d send you mad
Got the scars as proof deep in my back
Those days are over
I’m not sad
I’m not sad
I’m not sad
Yeh I know it’s more than Wishful Thinking
Despite my problems
Yeh I know
It’s more than Wishful Thinking
Despite my problems
I know that they’re not shrinking
Take it from me
When you look back you’ll see
Your shadow’s bigger when you’re close to
Who you’re meant to be
Yeh I know
It’s more than Wishful Thinking
Yeh I know
It’s more than Wishful Thinking
Yeh I know

Daydreaming
03:46
|

|
Cause I’m walking on clouds
And it feels so good
Seratonin’s flowing through my brain
The way it should
When we’re together
I never thought that
I believed in love
It never really mattered
But then you walked right
Into me
Picked up the pieces that were shattered
Yeh it feels like
It feels like destiny and
And it feels like
It feels like you and me
Take me back in time before I realised
That we were never meant to be
Take me back in time before I realised
That this is all just fantasy
But your song’s
Playing over and over in my head
You got me daydreaming
I long
For just one more smile in the morning
You got me daydreaming
Together, Forever
Such a sick sad teenage fallacy
But your song’s playing over and over in my head
You got me daydreaming
You got me daydreaming
I’ve got a sinking feeling
You had me right from the start
With your chains around my heart
Never saw you for what you are
Just an empty avatar
Sixteen months and seven days
Strung along in wild love haze
You never heard a thing I’d say
Paraccistic, narcissistic
I’m on my way
Take me back in time before I realised
That we were never meant to be
Take me back in time before I realised
That this is all just fantasy
But your song’s
Playing over and over in my head
You got me daydreaming
I long
For just one more smile in the morning
You got me daydreaming
Together, Forever
Such a sick sad teenage fallacy
But your song’s playing over and over in my head
You got me daydreaming
You got me daydreaming
You got me daydreaming
You got me daydreaming
You got me daydreaming

All I Need
03:41

Can you feel it
In the air
I want you right here
So can you see them
Stutter, Stare
I’m feeling self aware
Because all my life I’ve tried to think about
All the ways I should behave
I followed all the rules in all the books
But lost myself along the way
You’re all I need
There’s nothing wrong with me
There’s nothing wrong with me the way that I am
Cause you don’t ever see
No you don’t ever see the way that you
Fuck with the minds of the hopeless and low
Shatter their will to stand on their own
There’s nothing wrong with me
There’s nothing wrong with me the way that I am
There’s nothing wrong with me the way that I am
There’s nothing wrong with me
There’s nothing wrong with me the way that I am
We’ve all got our own ADD
Therapy, medicine is all you need
Swallow the pills and go twice a week
Ignore the side effects
It’s tongue and cheek
So sick of the judgement
Fall to your knees and pray like you mean it
Confess all of your sins
And fall to your knees
You’re all I need
There’s nothing wrong with me
There’s nothing wrong with me the way that I am
Cause you don’t ever see
No you don’t ever see the way that you
Fuck with the minds of the hopeless and low
Shatter their will to stand on their own
There’s nothing wrong with me
There’s nothing wrong with me the way that I am
There’s nothing wrong with me the way that I am
There’s nothing wrong with me
There’s nothing wrong with me the way that I am

Sins & Secrets
03:24

Cosmic forces at play
They keep score
They make me pay
They watch me
They watch what I say
Watching over us all
One foot
In front of the other
We all climb
The cosmic ladder
It’s all up from here
So they say
Or will you give yourself away
You know we’ve all got Secrets
The kind’ve sins
That I’d bury you to keep in
Lock em up
And toss away the key
You know
This’ll be the last time you hear from me
Is it alive?
Is it a being?
Is this Karma?
Or is it just me
Watching over my shoulder I see
The demons of my past as they follow me
I’m losing my grip
I’m losing control
Forgetting how long
Forgetting
Who I’ve told
I’m losing my grip
I’m losing control
I’ll go to the grave
Before I make them known
You know we’ve all got Secrets
The kind’ve sins
That I’d bury you to keep in
Lock em up
And toss away the key
You know
This’ll be the last time you hear from me
This’ll be the last time that you hear from me
The last time that we ever speak
This’ll be the last time that you hear from me
The last time
One foot in front of the other
We all climb
The cosmic ladder
It’s all up from here
So they say
You know we’ve all got Secrets
The kind’ve sins
That I’d bury you to keep in
Lock em up
And toss away the key
You know
This’ll be the last time you hear from me
This’ll be the last time that you hear from me
The last time that we ever speak
This’ll be the last time that you hear from me
The last time

Wonderland

Take another step
Closer to me
Have you ever
Thought of
The chance between you and me
Closer
Tonight
I’m about to
Let go
Of all
Everything that I’d known
Can we please take things
Slower
We’ve only got twenty hours
Before we’re back into our normal lives
Don’t let it slip away
You better believe that I’ll make
The most of every opportunity
The only freedom is the one that we make
Sick and tired of feeling damned
This life moves as fast as quicksand
Hurry up and take me by the hand
Baby don’t you know it’s a Wonderland
Tonight’s the night I take a chance
Dive head first into this romance
Hurry up and take me by the hand
Baby don’t you know it’s a Wonderland
There’s a cascade of colours
Waterfalling down my eyes
Time here is lucid
Our hearts are translucent
Feel your body all around me
See my soul inside your eyes
Ultraviolet Paradise
Sick and tired of feeling damned
This life moves as fast as quicksand
Hurry up and take me by the hand
Baby don’t you know it’s a Wonderland
Tonight’s the night I take a chance
Dive head first into this romance
Hurry up and take me by the hand
Baby don’t you know it’s a Wonderland
Hurry up and take me by the hand
Baby don’t you know it’s a Wonderland
Hurry up and take me by the hand
Baby don’t you know
It’s a Wonderland

Heaven and Hell
03:34

If the world ends tomorrow
Would you be ok
If your last day was over
Did you live your Destiny
Cause I don’t know
If there’s Heaven & Hell
But I know that
I felt your heartbeat as well
I’ve got this feeling
Like I’ve lost my mind again
I put it in a place I can’t quite comprehend
Can’t comprehend my feelings
And I don’t know why
I don’t know why I can’t be content
Heaven & Hell keep pulling
No I don’t know why I can’t be content
Heaven & Hell keep pulling on me
And I don’t know why I can’t be content
I’ve got more questions than I’ve got the answers for
Tell me when will it end
With an ever growing feeling of regret to comfort me
I’m knocking on Hell’s door
I’m getting far too old to wake up on the floor
All alone
But with a day of memories I can’t wait to replay
Heaven’s yours
Cause I don’t know
If there’s Heaven & Hell
But I know that
I felt your heartbeat as well
I’ve got this feeling
Like I’ve lost my mind again
I put it in a place I can’t quite comprehend
Can’t comprehend my feelings
And I don’t know why
I don’t know why I can’t be content
Heaven & Hell keep pulling
No I don’t know why I can’t be content
Heaven & Hell keep pulling on me
And I don’t know why I can’t be content
I’ve got this feeling
Like I’ve lost my mind again
I put it in a place I can’t quite comprehend
Can’t comprehend my feelings
And I don’t know why
I don’t know why I can’t be content

Incommunicado

I climbed the steps of Heaven
I took from God what he took from me
I climbed the steps of revenge
To slit the throat of my childhood belief
Nothing that you say will ever make it better
Nothing that you do will ever bring him back
When I drown in my rage
Lost in the pain
I am found in my shame
Scream out your name
I wanna give up
I wanna give in
I’ve lost the will
To fucking live
Every day I see death’s grin
It’s not something I can forgive
Nothing that you say will ever make it better
Nothing that you do will ever bring him back
When I drown in my rage
Lost in the pain
I am found in my shame
Scream out your name
If God so loved the world
Why did he send
His only son to hang?
Just how merciful
Do you think he’ll be
When it comes to you and me!
Nothing that you say will ever make it better
Nothing that you do will ever bring him back
When I drown

Best release of this band yet! It has got everything you would want from modern metal: Groovy riffs, crushing breakdowns but also catchy refrains and ambient parts to balance it out.
