It Creeps 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Sweating again Betting my friends won't understand Brain is swelling , and it's compelling Me to stay within. Within my mind. I close my eyes, breathing heavily But it won't leave, it creeps, In control of me It Creeps... The light's dimming My vision is pin hole'ing I'm being swallowed, and probably followed The Reaper's praying on me I beg it please, leave me be What did I ever do? To create you, frustrate you...in control of me It Creeps...

Flesh Hungry 04:37
lyrics

Turn on the TV It's the season opener The talking heads are preaching to the choir They stoke the flames Spreading their desires They masquerade Serenading each other We're so...infinite We’re so...religious We're so...flesh hungry We know there has to be... Please dissect, my reason for breathing Please protect, my sense of well being While we elect Professional liars We neglect Our voice grows quiet We're so...infinite We’re so...religious We're so...flesh hungry We know there has to be.. Somewhere, there is a place And there, I'll find my faith

Champions of the Crescent 03:42
lyrics

Sometimes I stare at the clock The one with the old hands And I wonder about How I got to where I've been I'll spin the old hands 'round For hours to the left And then I pretend We were free then Champions of the Crescent Owners of the road We had it And then I pretend that I've Gone back in time To repair my regrets With old friends of mine The innocence pours out and trickles down I feel at peace now, and I feel found We were free then Champions of the Crescent Owners of the road We had it How lucky were we? Being surrounded by friends Growing up with ease

This City 05:43
lyrics
buy track
I swear to God I'm trying not Not to feel anger or fear When you told me That you'd rather sleep With someone new who you've still yet to meet Maybe this city means more than me Maybe, clearly, the choice was easy And as I run I regret most of it I go home, crawling... I can't seem to help it Feeling that you're selfish After thinking about how much I gave to you I swear to God that I'm pretending not to blame myself for this (again) I tried to talk, I tried to listen But in the end I guess I'm glad we're not friends Maybe this city means more than me Maybe, clearly, the choice was easy And as I run I regret most of it I go home, crawling... I go home with absolutely nothing You watched me go home with absolutely nothing

When You Come Back 05:03
lyrics
buy track
I hate Loving you I wish I hadn't I wish I knew I am trying to forget you You don't deserve me, you've only hurt me Still, I lose sleep at night Asking if you're alright I was always defending you Now I wait for something new I fear the day you choose To come back to me with your excuse I pray that I'll have the strength To turn you away for good.
