A Haunting 03:16
Buried inside my mind Things I cannot deny to you. Things that I thought were dead They keep invading my head it's true, so true. Please come and lay beside me There's something I can not. This things has followed me here Thought I got rid of this fear I'm wrong. It seems this haunting is real But only I can feel it's strong, so strong And it won't let me go. Please come and lay beside me There's something I can not see. Panic is behind the door Things I can't hide anymore. Take a breath and count back from ten Repeat process do it again. Speak these lies to reflective glass Repeat them until the feeling's passed Repeat them until the feeling's passed Repeat them until the feeling's passed Repeat them. Please come and lay beside me There's something I can not see. Panic is behind the door Things I can't hide anymore.

Need 03:10
I need to be your everything I need to be desired. I need to be the big secret That's behind every smile. I need to be your sunny day I need to be your night. I need to be your times of joy I need to be your spite. I need to be the tiny lie That causes you to cheat. I need to be the ecstasy You feel between your sheets. I need to be your Jesus Christ And be your holy name. I need to be your biggest pride I need to be your shame. Will you protect me from the rain? Cause I can't bear to take more pain. I need to be the parasite That invests all your thoughts. I need to be the promised land That you have always sought. I need to be the desperate attempt That no one knows. I need to be the only boy That you ever hold close. Will you protect me from the rain? Cause I can't bear to take more pain. Will you protect me from the rain? Cause I can't bear to take more pain.

King Of Pain 05:00
There's a little black spot on the sun today It's the same old thing as yesterday There's a black hat caught in a high tree top There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain There's a little black spot on the sun today That's my soul up there It's the same old thing as yesterday That's my soul up there There's a black hat caught in a high tree top That's my soul up there There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop That's my soul up there I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall That's my soul up there There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall That's my soul up there There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb That's my soul up there There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web That's my soul up there I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread King of pain There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack That's my soul up there There's a black-winged gull with a broken back That's my soul up there There's a little black spot on the sun today It's the same old thing as yesterday I have stood here before in the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I always thought you could end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain King of pain King of pain King of pain I'll always be king of pain

Eleanor 03:20
She puts on her black boots Her red lipstick too. She takes the R to Greenwood For a date that's overdue. As she walks from the grave Morbid thoughts through her head. It's easier talking to The silent dead. She pours herself some red wine She does this every day. Then she makes her way down to the church She's go to sit and pray. As she walks from the grave Morbid thoughts through her head. It's easier talking to The silent dead. Preferred conversations No judgement from friends If only the living Were deceased instead. McKenzie reads his sermon As she cries from the pew. As she walks from the grave Morbid thoughts through her head. It's easier talking to The silent dead. Preferred conversations No judgement from friends If only the living Were deceased instead.

I found myself inside a bottle I can't remember when I remembered me. Solutions for an overwhelming problem The part of my head that never goes to sleep. It's the little crack that I feel here in my brain. The one that I'm hoping will /soon go away. For everyone's sins I'm left here to pay. It's funny how life has turned out this way. Oh damn this noise inside my head Repeating everything unsaid. How did it all come down to this? The darkness always will exist. I'm living in distortion Nobody listen to anything I say. Breaking down my fuzzy life proportions Muting the lines I never could convey. To your ears that are deaf to the words that I speak Stars that I share I guess are too weak Killing my time knowing we're meant to be Indifference is where we agree I can't believe that you can't see That you mean everything to me. Astonished with perverted views To blind for what's in front of you. Oh damn this noise inside my head Repeating everything unsaid. How did it all come down to this? The darkness always will exist.
