LYRICS:
Pastel colours on a canvas I started from scratch
I wanted a masterpiece for us.
And you would hate all the words that I would say if they every left my brain, and let it shrivel dry.
I'm on to you... I'm on to you...
(I'm on to you...)
You never thought I'd be alive right now
You thought that I would run and hide, and cower inside
And close my blinds, and ignore the light.
But I'm not ready to embrace the dark
If you wanted to shut me out - I'll shut you up
and the embers won't die - the sparks ignite
the sparks ignite.
You would wait, patiently
Observe the date that I would let you down again
I always mess things up.
I'm on to you... I'm on to you...
(Good riddance, you've lost your perfect asset)
I'm on to you... I'm on to you...
(I'm on to you...)
You never thought I'd be alive right now
You thought that I would run and hide, and cower inside
And close my blinds, and ignore the light.
But I'm not ready to embrace the dark
If you wanted to shut me out - I'll shut you up
and the embers won't die - the sparks ignite
the sparks ignite.
Good riddance you've lost your perfect asset
The sparks ignite
You never thought I'd be alive right now
You thought that I would run and hide, and cower inside
And close my blinds, and ignore the light.
But I'm not ready to embrace the dark
If you wanted to shut me out - I'll shut you up
and the embers won't die - the sparks ignite
the sparks ignite.

Carbon Monoxide Dreams

I'm going full throttle
this engine will take me where I need to
and I'm flying through sideroads
and I cannot be stopped now
my hair is blowing in the wind
and this ship has long ago sailed
still i trust this broken vessel
to carry me through each and every storm
carbon monoxide dreams
ensure that I am fast asleep
do you know what this could mean
I think I'll fall asleep now
Your blue coat
You're so cold
You warm up
We're alright
I'll fix you
When I get the
The money
So sit tight
It's just a hole in the muffler so it
really can't be a big deal
Well my engine may be a bit louder and
My heart starts to beat faster and I
The rust eats
Away at
The hole in
The muffler
The exhaust
It leaks in
The poison
Gets Stronger
Carbon Monoxide Dreams
Ensure that I am fast asleep
I love you so but you kill me...

Clear Vision

I am always so patient but my toes won't stop shaking
I'm eager to push this, the feelings I'm faking
Pleasant on the outside, we all have our demons
That we keep from you...
I'm getting knocked around
My head is swollen, blackened and bruised
Gave me a runaround
You're applying pressure to the wound
I put myself out there to hopefully choose
the best existence for you
And I keep falling
and I can't stop screaming
My head is cloudy but I've got
a clear vision of where we can go
and how we can grow
It's all buried inside
This storm cloud never dies
It's looming over my head
You'll never leave my side
Oh no, what are you going to do?
When the thoughts creep up
Do you sacrifice what you think is right?
I stumble down
I'm calling for back up
"I'll have to put you on hold"
There is no need to call an ambulance
To take me further from my soul
I'm always willing to give up, just so you know...

Nothing Left

Bite, bite, bite
Until it won't fit no more
And I chew, chew, chew
Until the dopamine leaches into the soil
You said "It's time to take more control"
But each and every bite takes me further from my goal
And I am decay in the autumn leaves
And you are changing colours, wait for me
And I will kick this plague and then you'll see
I will kick this, then you'll see me
Fight, until there is nothing left
And you need to get some things off your chest
There are too many things on your plate
The type of stuff that builds up until it breaks
and we'll fight until there is nothing left
Until there's nothing...
Nothing left... you know I'll haunt you

Six Feet Deep

I walk a narrow pathway (between my life and my way out)
I'm in a state of disarray (you're slowly pulling me down)
I'm smothered by the smoke you breathe (it's cloudy and we cannot see)
I'd rather be down and buried (you have me down on my knees)
I'll hold you close, so close to me
As this pile of dirt grows over me
You dig on down, your arms are weak
Cry your eyes out, I'm six feet deep
I don't know (which road to take)
I don't want (to make another mistake)
I'll take it back, take it back, take it back (it's obvious where you belong)
I'll hold it back, hold it back, hold it back (put anger into a song)
I'll try my best to save your place
And I won't forget the look on your face
I'm giving up, you support me
Cry you eyes out, I'm six feet deep
I'm six feet deep when the light comes on
You know I hate to do this for the sake of the song
I'm six feet deep when I want to make amends
I'm yelling through the casket walls but there's no chance that you'll hear me
I'll hold you close, so close it hurts
And I feel the last pat up on the dirt
I try to move, you're so relieved
I'm gone for now, I'm six feet deep
