I didn't come for this But I did come here for you The last taste I had wasn't enough to satisfy Are you missing my grip Cause I know you can't do this So I'm standing here, understand what I'm going through You've burned enough I've seen it all I've come from the dead, run away as I walk towards you Chorus: Tonight you’re not alone Don’t try the telephone It’s dead, I cut the line myself Your friends, they cannot help you now They have all turned red Sickness in their heads You can't trust them, I'm the only one who knew As night gets closer You must not fall down I am right behind you, just in case you stop running Hide in that car Keys in the ignition This is it, your getaway, take the chance (Chorus x1) If I stop trying If I stop living I didn't come for this But I did come here for you You've burned enough I've seen it all I've come for you, run away (Chorus x1)

Let Me In 03:19
lyrics

Are you finally over all of this You've got the cure for loneliness You can't come out to play I biked all the way to your home All night, I'll stay awake Your parents guarding by the phone Chorus: I'm at your door Won't you open it up You've got me, you've got me Way in over my head I just want more I haven't had enough You've got me, you've got me Broken, so let me in What they told you about me What do you think Their lies have brought in all this cold You've quilted my escape Knew I couldn't get you alone Last night was my mistake I want to climb up to your room (Chorus x2)

Dusk 03:04
lyrics

Am I rad enough Night resonance It took a photographic instance A colored sky Of abandoned pools Wish you stood for something else Was it wrong to lose Was it wrong to leave, so soon Am I rad enough To jump your fence Can I come over and spend the night like this A rusty street With a graveyard school Wish you could see something else Was it wrong to lose Was it wrong to choose to disappear Was it wrong to leave, so soon

Secrets 02:51
lyrics

You're driving me out of my mind I've got my back up against the wall It's not like we're running out of time This is the moment to save us both And pressure's making it hard sometimes We've got to bring this down tonight I left my conscience back in the street Now I can't put up a fight And you Bring me to my knees And soon I will be Regretting this feeling Why do you go so fast... You're driving me out of my mind As you slowly peel off your shirt I'll bet you're thinking of your friends downstairs Cause they want to hear the dirt And if I told you this is my first time Would you keep your hands down And will you tell me this is a secret Where no one finds out And you Act like you're the tease And soon you will be Faking memories Why do you go so fast... And do you hate yourself... And if I told you this is my first time Would you keep your hands down And will you tell me this is a secret Until your boyfriend finds out And you Bring me to my knees And soon I will be Regretting this feeling Why do you go so fast... And do you hate yourself...

Not Enough 03:46
lyrics

Am I wasting my time Should I apologize I'm thinking myself blind Your face is all I see I'm making these mistakes They're taking over me Chorus: I've been running since I woke With every word you spoke And still that's not enough To say you've changed Say you'll stay I remember you alive Cause I was on your side I'm thinking myself blind My fate is all I see I'm making more mistakes They're taking over me (Chorus x1) I've been running out of breath My heart's sinking in my chest And still that's not enough To say you'll stay (Chorus x1) I've been running out of breath My heart's sinking in my chest And still that's not enough To say you'll stay Say you'll stay...

Giving Up 03:20
lyrics

You're making time for me I give my breath away I can wonder what is next The inevitability I'm a slave Chorus: Subdued I'm ruled I'm a phone call away In my room And soon You’re giving up on me I'm stepping on myself To give you everything Dependence on something That doesn't even care for me I'm a slave (Chorus x1)

Dimly Lit Video Store 03:38
lyrics

The phone is dead, they know I'm here Tonight is stolen and I have to face my fear My fate is burning crystal clear The lights go down, I keep the pistol near Chorus: Sometimes the only way out is back in Running at everything that hits my skin Barely noticing their faces, they're falling Sometimes the only way out is back in The bodies inhaled chemicals I'm in the middle, trapped in a hazard zone They're getting closer to the door I'll have to save myself, just like I did before (Chorus x2)

Campfire Stars 03:13
lyrics

I can't see in the dark For a while I am blind All I need are the stars To lead me from the fire Chorus: All I know is what I touch or hear Walking with this ever-present fear If only I could find my way inside All I need is 41 to hide I know you're hiding in the trees I wonder how long you've been watching Nearing footsteps behind me I can't run away with sand beneath my feet (Chorus x1) My eyes adjust and all I see is pain Every tree I pass by is the same Every sound just messes with my head Steps away from safety in my bed I can't see in the dark I can't run the door's too far (Chorus x1) In bed, in my head

Expected From The Crypt 03:32
lyrics

Grab the light from the trunk We need to leave your car Before they notice we're gone We'll have to stay silent When darkness falls And maybe we'll get out alive The longer we wait, the less chance we have Of saving ourselves from what will happen We've got a problem that I can't resolve Just keep running for now and I promise A magic hour and the sun sets low The sky's the color of a channel I do not know The humming of corpses makes you shake at the knees Just keep running for now and stay close to me The moon is high, and we're in their sights But don't turn around for it's flesh they want You'd better run faster because they're catching up Make it out before the graveyard gates shut Stay silent When darkness falls And maybe you'll get out alive

Only One 04:44
lyrics

Falling from the start Tearing me apart The hole that is this sickness I'm begging it to stop An eventual happening Somewhere out there There's an empty seat I'm next to I'm hoping it will stop Chorus: You, you keep taking that away You, you keep pushing me away Repairing broken dream Living loudly always lost its touch with me If you can't see it, I still believe (Chorus x1) When I stare into the sun I feel like I'm the only one That's been wasted But I keep trying I am pushing for the moment I am waiting for the night I can ask you, if you feel too There is nothing I can say I am not the kind to want to bother you But I want something (Chorus x1) When I stare into the sun I feel like I'm the only one That's been wasted But I keep trying Am I the only one who's being here

The Violet Office 03:58
lyrics

Bring on the night, I'm feeling cold The basement's full of chemicals I wait until the clock makes tonight perfect The parking lot in orange glows Only silent darkness knows Waiting for the walls to turn to purple Chorus: Don't tell me this is a waste This is perfect in every way For the moment you see tonight You'll realize this is all right As the neon sign flickers above I safely tap the barrels shut The damage isn't done until I'm blind I hope that I have brought enough When the toxic canisters erupt The corrosion leaves nothing else behind (Chorus x1) I hide inside They know just where I am In the night I can't close my eyes From the night, I'm found In the dark Never escaping The lines of the mind Lines in my eyes Run
