Dead Promises 03:21
lyrics

Dead Promises Verse 1 We burned our bridge We learned our love Has never been there I thought that life And all my hopes And all my dreams Relied on you They were not And I was caught In your excuses The things we had now they're all dead Like the romance inside our heads Chorus Bawl Call Your name Blame My shame On Dead Promises Being who you are You'll lie and leave me with A shattered heart Dead words They hurt Dead promises Verse 2 I want to blame, and to condemn you But that's just a foolish camouflage What felt like flame, when I called your name Was an elusive, cruel mirage Are lessons learned? Or promises burned All there is to existence? You are confined Inside My mind Designed To misguide me Chorus Bawl Call Your name Blame My pain On dead promises Being who you are You'll lie and leave me with A shattered heart Dead words They hurt Dead promises Chorus Halt It's All Your fault Take My shame To the grave I won't Let you Hurt me Again Dead words They hurt Oh dead promises

Fumes of Greed 04:09

Fumes of Greed Verse I My head's on fire I'm about to expire It's the burning flesh The smell of regret Is what I know Chorus I am looking for the answers To escape this inferno hell (I'm a burning soul I've lost all control My head's on fire in this flaming hellhole) Time and time looking for the answers Buried in the lie so I bid life farewell (What can I do? I'm already doomed. I'll give up this deceit and surrender with the truth) Verse II The clock's ticking by It's my time to say my goodbyes I'm so fucked up in my mind I tried oh I tried Chorus I am looking for the answers To escape this inferno hell (I'm a burning soul I've lost all control My head's on fire in this flaming hellhole) Time and time looking for the answers Buried in the lie so I bid life farewell (What can I do? I'm already doomed. I'll give up this deceit and surrender with the truth) Bridge As I hold on to my life The fumes of greed come over me As I hold to my dear life The fumes of greed come over me Chorus I am looking for the answers To escape this inferno hell (I'm a burning soul I've lost all control My head's on fire in this flaming hellhole) Time and time looking for the answers Buried in the lie so I bid life farewell (What can I do? I'm already doomed. I'll give up this deceit and surrender with the truth) (My head's on fire I'm about to expire I'm so fucked up in my mind I tried oh I tried)

The Bridge Verse 1 The season's ended, now There's a new one coming around The bridge will take you there You are the painter The sky is the limit What will you create? The future's on the horizon Chorus The eagle is soaring Rising in the air This is the time The bridge will take you there. Verse 2 The season's changing, now So much accomplished, take your bow So spread your wings and fly. You have reached your dreams Who knows what could be? What will happen next? The future's on the horizin Chorus The eagle is soaring Rising in the air This is the time The bridge will take you there. Chorus Chorus You are soaring Rising in the air This is the time The bridge will take you there. The eagle is soaring Rising in the air This is the time The bridge will take you there. Your time is now, you are free.

Broken Paths Verse 1 Broken paths can be fixed No we're not perfect But we can try And though it may not be enough We can put this all away And halt this decay Chorus What would you say? Let's put the past away This fear is my pain Let's put away the shame Verse 2 Look at what we've become Our journey has just begun We ask ourselves "why"? Why we're in such a place? Let's changed our fate Chorus 2 What would you say? Let's put the past away This fear is my pain Let's put away the shame Chorus 3 I'm done playing games Let's just change our ways Oh, let's put it away Let's start again It's okay Broken paths can be fixed No we're not perfect But we can try

Possibilities Verse 1 Don't take the easy way out I see your frown You can rise from the ground Just sit down and try All strength applied You'll sail through the sky Pre-chorus So put your white flag down Or you'll just drown. In your own pity. Chorus Don't compromise To ease your suffering So you can be freed Don't break away from (Break away from) Your life Just to stop the bleed Cause there is no need Don't break away from (Break away from) Break away from your possibilities Verse 2 All against you now And you don't know how Bad luck you've found Are you satisfied That you've been denied? Goodbye to your pride Pre-chorus You can sit and cry Just say goodbye Lose opportunities Chorus 2 Don't compromise To ease your suffering So you can be freed Don't break away from (Break away from) Your life Just to stop the bleed Cause there is no need Don't break away from (Break away from) Break away from your possibilities Verse 3 Bearing my last breath Can't handle the mess Thoughts regressed From all the stress of giving up Chorus 3 Don't compromise To ease your suffering So you can be freed Don't break away from (Break away from) Your life Just to stop the bleed Cause there is no need Don't break away from (Break away from) Break away from your possibilities

Verse 1 A thousand cries Just one goodbye You're deprived Of my existence I survived I'm alive No more tries Our love dies here Chorus Fading thoughts of you. I shout hooray Erase your toxic fumes Bottle up this hate Verse 2 Bloody skies Your tainted eyes False love's disguise Will not arise Polluted ties I would die If I had to See your face again Chorus Fading thoughts of you I shout hooray Erase your toxic fumes Bottle up this hate Your remnants stick like glue I push you away Slay the love of two Bound ill will contained Bridge You wear your innocence well but I can see through your facade So move on I'm gone Diffuse this bomb Bomb Chorus Fading thoughts of you I shout hooray Erase your toxic fumes Bottle up this hate Your remnants stick like glue I push you away (Rid you Bid you Farewell) Slay the love of two Bound ill will contained (Survive Hold my Pride)

HTML Verse 1 What the hell have I done? The walk of shame has begun Wash down my doubts leave no trace No point in trying I can't escape Pre-chorus Wide awake Gone insane Concentrate On my mistakes Chorus Memories left for dead I'm drowning in my own embarrassment I'm trying to lose this dread I'm sitting on time instead Verse 2 Ignoring reality, how dumb? The silence only makes me numb The only way out is to face it up front Cause you can't swim against the current Pre-chorus Wide awake Gone insane Concentrate On my mistakes Chorus 2 Memories left for dead I'm drowning in my own embarrassment I'm trying to lose my dread I'm sitting on time instead Bridge Losing the fight Falling behind Feeling blind Lose my mind Then realize You start the clime Because you know it's time Chorus 3 Memories left for dead I'm drowning in my own embarrassment Trying to lose this dread I'm sitting on time instead Outro I'm trembling From remembering Now my face is red All the memories All the grief Now stand ahead

Born Anew Verse 1 Sometimes I feel That loneliness can heal Silence, nothing said Harmony in my head Chorus Born anew Healed all through Born into Something new Verse 2 Sometimes I feel That togetherness can kill This feeling bound deep inside me Is getting to be The end of me And I want to be alone Chorus Born anew Healed all through Born into Something new Verse 3 Sometimes I feel That loneliness can heal Chorus Born anew Healed all through Born into Something new I would rather die than be around the sound just for another day Leave it all behind so I can find a way out before I decay
