The Weight
Call it lack of self control
Or consistency of stupidity
I didn’t try to let you down
You can hide your face but I feel your gaze
The weight in your eyes is killing me.
All I need’s a second chance
To make amends so this will end.
I didn’t try to let you down
You can hide your stare but I feel your glare
Am I hoping for too much?
Have I lost before I ask?
All I wants' for you to want me.

Survive This
Of all the selfish things you’ve done
Leaving me is the hardest to outrun
I know you never will admit
To leaving me a neglected little kid
There’s nothing left to say now
There’s nothing left to try
You and I are never going to survive this
You're lost in your narcissistic shrine
A world in which your son could never shine
Farewell to all of the unrest
As I tried for even second best
I deserved so much more than you

Waves
You are the only one who watches as I drown this way
Gone are your quiet shores as I slowly drift away
Life was a shimmering pool now I'm drowning in torrential rain
Waters of failure swarm as I circle toward the drain
Hold me now don't let me drown
As your waves collapse I'm found
How did it come to this? Once effortless now intricate
Tossed in the waves of you its meaningfulness implicit

Imperfect Sunray
What you see is what you get
And it’s sure to get you down
Nothing more than a little less is best
When having me around
You don’t wanna be with me ‘cause I’m sure to bring you down again
I’m an imperfect sunray
A burning light that you can’t escape
I am a blinding heartache
Another scar that you can’t erase
A mother's sigh, a baby's cry and I'm
Nowhere to be found
Don't look at me with such love in your eyes cause I'll only let you down
You don’t wanna be with me ‘cause I’m sure to bring you down again
This light, this light, this light, this light will find you
This light, this light will burn you to the bone.

Rapunzel
Take only the things that you need to take
Leave all the rest behind
The moment has arrived for our escape
Our fates forever entwined
Just be sure to hold on tight
And everything will be all right
As sure as the Night - which finds us out -
Darkness cuts and Darkness blinds
Our souls are torn, my love forlorn, Dark prevails
All I’ve loved is lost to hell
Then you come to me as if a dream
Say "Nothing is quite as it seems"
Tears unsighted help me see
That I'm still with you...Just be sure to

Fly
I’m just normal
As average as can be
I like pretending
That you’re just like me
But you are everything I’m not
I want everything you’ve got
You take dust turn it to gold like nothing
You were always meant to fly
You were always meant to fly
You never even had to try
‘Cause you were always meant to fly
I try lying
To myself outright
Just pretending
Everything’s alright
‘Cause you are everything I’m not
I want everything you’ve got
You take dust turn it to gold like nothing
