Track Name: Past The Earth
Is there something else I should know?
Or will you leave me in the dark?
Where I belong
Someone help me back into the light

Down - Past The Earth is where I belong

Someone who knows the right way
Would you be nice but I can't pay
And let me out
The screaming drone has paid enough

Excuse me while I spit the dummy out
You never really thought you'd have your way now, when you got out
And the poison pen fends for you and your wicked soul
I was the one that was left behind and still I fight to take control
Track Name: Don't Go (zte)
I look at photographs that I've never seen
For years, and now they come back to haunt me
The images that were once pristine
Hold the soul of innocence, or so I thought
And now I look at them with disgrace
To see my life has slipped away

More than some, less than others
When I grow old, will they grow cold?
The distant memories of a shattered youth
Will they grow cold when I grow old?

A new age has dawned I'm looking past
The negativity that comes with it
I look ahead without a plan
And it scares me but I don't give a damn
Track Name: Lorretta
Is this a nightmare or is this just a fantasy?
Her name was Lorretta, the blackest snow, the devils queen
She opened a box, you'll never guess what was inside
Pandora's heart, the hate with lustful pride

Forgive us Lorretta! I don't want to have to lie
Forgive us Lorretta! I don't want to have to cry
Forgive us Lorretta! I don't want to have to sin
Forgive us Lorretta! I just need to fucking scream!
I'm not running away!

A whisper in your heart reveals all that matters
Pandora's heart box clutters you up with judgement
I see it in your eyes, you're giving up on everything
The strength in you to fight has withered you down to nothing

A wave comes back
I'm bored, you're nuts
Track Name: Broken Alchemy
This padded cell is broken
The glass has been hypnotized
Into a magic spell of alchemy
The green eyed monster has lied
On more than one occasion
You gave away your position
Of guilt, now the faces have dawned
This is a reputation of all that has been lost
And now the last has come first

This emotion has become a panic in your devils smile
While I pick at your bones
Dead and buried beneath these broken wings of lies

Now the pain has turned to empathy
This disguise has been disgraced
These memories are in cased in ashes
The trail has become fast paced
This pulse has now stop beating
But has returned for feeding
I really don't have a new found case
If it makes sense we're bleeding
How comes you've been stealing
My life a little at a time
Track Name: Puritans Soul
Today has faltered, I can't seem to get this right
I think I should give it up but that's not me
Its here in my life

And seems insane
Some might say; I'm looking for answers
The colour that's left is grey
But I'm mellow, I'm fine, I'm ok

If you stay until tomorrow
Will you hand me back my spine?
In a cookie jar by the stove
Is where I contemplate
My fondness, my high

I've often thought of it
Why does life have to be this way?
And the cogs that keep on turning
Why is life like this every day?
Track Name: Xplosive Anxiety
Where does this hate come from?
I want the past to be gone
Throw my head in my hands
To all the things that went wrong
And when I try to do this
It reminds me of that
The life within me is drained
And now just like that

The shakes begin to start
Adrenaline shot to the heart
Then I'm caught in a daze
Again I start to blaze

And when the world gets you down
You throw your shit around
I promise you don't want to see
And when you see this rage
Then turn the page
I promise you don't want to see
My Xplosive Anxiety

I'm standing here shaking
Blood pressure, inflating
Getting mind over matter
Now I'm disintegrating
And then I'm grinding my teeth
To the sound of the beat
My stomach turned in knots
Lost control of my feet
Track Name: Carved Lies
Feels like life is bittersweet
So much needed, yet I can't live without it
It's not easy being weak
It's skill required to be learned

I don't know, I don't care
What you think about me
I don't know and I don't care
What you think about me
No I will not care!

Maybe it's all in my head
All the lies, I begin to love them
Possessed inside another's mind
Everyday is carved into my slumber
