sandstorm

people seem to think
that i am running out of time
when all they seem to do
is try to drive me out my mind
it was a pretty lousy summer
i was working all the time
trying to keep my head
above the water
only to be caught
in a sandstorm
i became complacent with
what was bestowed to me
it was a solitary stance
that i decided on my dreams
i'm refusing to work
under the boot of someone
who never gave a shit
about me
i feel the rage
you created a cage
and a thousand buildings have fell
and counting
people seem to think
that we are running out of time
when the ones who are in power
think that we commit the crimes
say your prayers
know the depths and try
to keep your head
above the water
only to be caught
in a sandstorm
oh how you control me
please don't own me
love for me only
don't leave me lonely
maximum compression
can you teach me a lesson
leave me second guessing
a sandstorm
call me a sandstorm

Best of Me
02:18

i wake up
open my eyes
no time for hiding
this is no disguise
only the damned
and only the brave
only the wicked
i hear you say
you try to question me
you'll never get the best of me
all i can be is me
you'll never get the best of me
i'm unconditionally free
i'm unconditionally me
you'll never get the best of me
you'll never get the best of me
you try to bring me down
i told you i ain't playing round
there isn't room for the two of us
and you know i'm keeping my crown
you try to question me
you'll never get the best of me
all i can be is me
you'll never get the best of me
i'm unconditionally free
i'm unconditionally me
you'll never get the best of me
you'll never get the best of me

Never Return
03:03

i know exactly who you are
and where you've been
i hold my hands out to you won't
you let me in
you talking to me
i'll act like i don't even know ya
think you got the best of me
stampede, get me?
i said do you get me?
getting bad dreams?
it's getting worse
every day is a curse
it's on your screen
it's on your screen
you know for you
i would do anything
i'd die for you
i'd be so true
you know for you
i'd open any door
my feet don't touch
the ocean floor
you know i'd never return
as the prophecy told after midnight
i wanna hold you so tight
you know for you i would do
anything
i'd die for you
do you realise in ancient times
it would be right to hold me tight
but it's okay now baby
cause now you're safe
here with me
in my arms
let the music heal
feel it ripple and reel
into your arteries heal
i promise it's real
you know for you
i'd open any door
my feet don't touch
the ocean floor
you know i'd never return
as the prophecy told after midnight
i wanna hold you so tight
you know for you i would do
anything
i'd die for you

RECLAIM
04:30

hear my whistle blow
whistle whistle blow blow
on my knees
i decree
i release
toxicity
(don't come near me)
don't care about where you are
(i don't believe you)
drove off in my car
i will save you from your virtue
so many perish under my guise
the flame burns so i get hot
i turn over reclaim my god
my eyes open i see clear now
it's so different, relentless
i'm clueless
i will not get through this
(you don't love me)
the poison that i just can't get rid
(you don't need me)
and i do the same things every single day
(you can't see me)
how could i let you just take my heart away
my heart away
tell me how it feels
when i touch you
do you like it hard
moving ever closer
to that rhythm
you gave me in the dark
(you don't love me)
the poison that i just can't get rid
(you don't need me)
and i do the same things every single day
(you can't see me)
how could i let you just take my heart away
my heart away
(tell me that you love me)
the poison that i just can't get rid
(you know you want it)
and i do the same things every single day
(you can't see me)
is this what you want
is this what you want to hear

this scar tissue has been aching
all my life
i see right through you
are you by my side
by my side
i search the room
but i don't see you
freefall in the night
but i take my time
count every day by
with close lips and closed minds
this ocean is a state of mind
i feel like air
i'm constantly feeling
stuck in the middle
this ocean is a state of mind
i think what you do is amazing
but we won't get out alive
this is a national tragedy
but i'll still take my time
on my throne
on my throne i'm alone
but i take my time
count every day by
with close lips and closed minds
this ocean is a state of mind
i feel like air
i'm constantly feeling
stuck in the middle
this ocean is a state of mind
stuck in the middle

Liar
04:34

stupid little box
come back to me
i'll mop the floor
i'll fold your sheets
god i'm tired
i'm lying down
on the wire
and you're a liar
you're a liar
i don't believe you
when you say you love me
but i'll still call for you
even when you left me
i crouch down in honour
i put your things in order
god i'm tired
on the wire
and you're a liar
you're a liar
i don't think i can take anymore
and boy i can tell you have had enough

Break The Chain
03:26

i tried to break the chain
and run away
something's got to change
but in every way
you still own me
you still like to show me off
and when i get lonely
i look at your pictures on phone
do you own me
do you even know me
when will i get you alone
when will i get you alone
i love when you scratch your nails down my back
open the curtains
open the curtains will you
and let the light shine in
somethings got to change
but in every way
you still own me
you still like to show me off
and when i get lonely
i look at your pictures on phone
do you own me
do you even know me
when will i get you alone
when will i get you alone

Don't forget who you are
04:00

picking your bones
picking your bones up
what does it take to get you
to look me in the eye
surrender my thoughts to you
when you decide
picking up your pieces
i don't wanna let go
searching for a rhythm
we can make it good
just take me there
tripping in your field
i don't wanna let go
you just take me there
what does it take to get you
to look me in the eye
surrender my thoughts to you
when you decide
picking up your bones

all my friends are in heaven
you say as i pass the oxygen
i'm sick and tired of taking plans
i've really had enough
why don't you go back where you came
i can't turn around without seeing rage
there's got to be another way
to make it
i'm ending this here
i won't be the one in tears
here, in here
hear me
me and you again on the run
