Lost Anthem 03:57
I don’t have anything to say you better hope it stays that way I think about you every day but can’t talk to you because you are too far away I worry about you and sometimes I can’t sleep grasping for memories I wish I could keep. (chorus): But you’re gone already for too long I live by your anthem and march to your song but you’re gone already for too long you’ve been gone for too long you've been gone for too long. I remember that day full of darkness and sorrow I’ll always remember it that way it started out fine but then the mood all changed a single text and bang the world just fell away and to be honest I still can’t process it shut down if any topic ever crosses it heartbreak is delicate haven’t been through many losses yet but it’s painful and the scars won’t fade cause it’s a wound not a cut. [Chorus] Greif is like a story or an odyssey and if you don't believe my story than don't listen to me but instead of suddenly criticizing me think for a second what your story will be [Chorus]

You’ve had my heart right from the start Even though you never knew it I never knew that it would be this way I gave you all I had to give but so far you’re oblivious and now I’m stuck with nothing else to say (Chorus): So don’t give on me now give up on me I won’t be the same I promise if you give on me now give up on me I won’t feel a thing... Whether it’s pain or grief or maybe they’re memories of a time when I was so lonely without you Admiring from afar tiring is my heart from your ignorance Maybe it is my fault [Chorus] You’ve had my heart right from the start even though you never knew it I never knew that it would be this way I gave you all I had to give but so far you’re oblivious and now I’m stuck with nothing else to say

Have you ever found it funny to find you’ve gone insane and the people don’t believe you they think it’s just a craze soon all the people ‘round you people talking to themselves making out with the wall and conversing with bookshelves they started following you now look at what you’ve done a generation of drunkards not even twenty one they can’t do their math and they’re always not cool it’s not even their parents fault and now it’s all yours too I’ve got Eminem’s handwriting and you know how I know because my gone for good imagination tells me so So reality aint real and my fantasies are fake I’m gonna need a whole damn song to get myself straight (Chorus): Hey Dream boy can you see my face I know it’s a disgrace and I’ve got no place Hey dream boy can you see my eyes? please just believe me I don’t tell no lies (X2) asylum sustained writing I’m supposed to write my mind If I did my class would blow only one nuke shy Its really not my fault that I’ve got too much swag and my minds at the peak the best I’ve ever had Most the time I can’t think or blink thoughts a bit like running the kitchen sink all my thoughts just going down the drain that’s my imagination kids so don’t do anything [Chorus] No seriously kids I swear I’m not (high but I’m bat crazy so I don’t tell no lies but that’s gotta count for something since you swim or you die I ain’t sentimental That's not where my talent lies It’s a cry for hope and at least I’ll try if you want my honesty I can grant you mine I’ve said it all before and got no other rhymes don’t be offended Dream Boy please don’t cry [Chorus](x4)

Take Me Away 04:30
If all the noise just ceased to be the sounds of all mortality and cats and dogs all living things stop and listen to the rain If every star it shined so bright to guide despairing through the night standing atop the buildings at great heights just to listen (Chorus): So take me away in your arms I’m not dreaming I promise though a dreamer I might be So take me away to the sky will reality stop screaming maybe not… The library it happens to be the only safer haven or it’s heaven I should say because about that too it’s written with life or death and dark or shine every other form of strife so why is there all the conflict oh please tell me why? [Chorus] [instrumental] [Chorus X2]

Every day I’m singing the same old tune I’m in the black cloak funk that I’m singing to you so every day when I call your phone thanks for lying and I still feel alone so (Chorus): So wrap me in your black cloak when I say no cigarettes all I see is smoke so one day when I call your name you won’t be around it will drive me insane. At this point it is out of my control your lungs don’t seem to work anymore your body is working overtime you'll pay the price but the broken heart’s mine [chorus] [bridge] [chorus]

Oops, I let anxiety get the best of me again... I promised myself that this isn’t how it would end Oops, I let paranoia get the best of me again for I’m fighting against it fighting for my friends (Chorus): Just because I feel different does it make me insane? I promise I’m crazy but it’s how you play the game Oops, I let my emotions tear me apart tears streaming down my face and blackening my heart I was hoping that I am authentic as can be in hopes to hide that giant flaw that I am a cliche [Chorus]

Dear Sir 03:33
Dear sir do I know you? have we ever met? they say you’re looking down on us sinners with regret dear sir is it true you hate rainbows? or different people? but I find that quite peculiar since you also created us… (Chorus): I was taught to question everything I heard since pain and manipulation are two big themes in this world science spirits motives and everything in between but I’m ready to face the music that either me or the angels sing… Dear Mister I’m just asking why would you hate your creations? it’s a colder world than I’m sure you imagined So I’ll give you my salutations there are people on this earth who believe that you are watching them if that’s true why not take action instead of watching the ruin? [Chorus] Dear Sir, are you a woman? I’ve never been quite sure or you could be a spirit a whisper of a word Dear Madam is there more of you if so you leave behind no trace I guess to keep the mystery I guess to keep the faith [Chorus]

Silent Hero 03:30
all the times she kept quiet all the times she kept silent she was writing songs down in her heart composing lyrics to the stars encrypting her sadness to dust but she wished she was a hero one who never thought she was capable of anything and kept herself apart whose flaws she refused to wear upon her sleeve and at the end of the day her failures whisper(ed) in her ears and cried themselves to sleep she always seemed lost even when she was found seemed so lost inside her own head and gravity couldn’t seem to hold her down only our hearts of lead she wanted to save us from our own misery from the brutal despair in our bones so she tried all she knew but the feeling still grew that we bear all our burdens alone she accepted the fact that she wasn’t a hero and left all of us behind solved only her hardships relieving her problems no perception of hero defined Three silent cheers for our heros the ones who never thought they were capable of anything and kept themselves apart whose flaws they refused to wear upon their sleeves and at the end of the day their failures whispered in their ears and cried themselves to sleep
