ANOTHER DAY I DIED Alone, I stare into the distance There's not one face that looks friendly I hear the spiteful words echoing in my ears As the crowds move closer in again I don't have a single friend Just the voices in my head Avoiding playgrounds I walk around these streets on my own Can't even go home It's all the same there The same amount of despair How will I need to protect myself today? Will it be another insult or a punch in the face? If you can't be nice then leave me alone You wouldn't like to see my ugly side All the rumours spread like decease A million versions follow me I'll help them multiply If it keeps you satisfied As you'll never know me I hardly do but I know I am not like... I know I am not like you

Alone 02:48
ALONE (Cover by Ben Harper) This empty room, it fills my mind Freedom, it leaves me confined Every single wall has cracked but in this life you can't turn back I don't want to live... I don't want to live here...alone As these words are with my tongue I question while they're even sung I have promised but I lied I don't even know myself inside I don't want to be... I don't want to be here...alone Today and tomorrow have become one Every single thing has become none Human nature is a beast What I've done the most to show I have the least Please don't leave me here... Don't you leave me alone...
3.
A MILLION ATTEMPTS (Vocals) A million attempts To switch off my mind but these thoughts never stop coming The bloody mess I tried To wipe clean I now just find Myself sitting in Somehow I must get up and pretend again That my life's ever been worth living but in reality, it's all a gun pointed at your brain... it's just wishful thinking I would throw up all of these lies but they're stuck in me like a tumour Occasionally, they bleed another part of me Just to see they only want me to die sooner I'll never open another thought to you again I may as well be dead, being this repressed A hundred attempts to change my thoughts but all you do is remind me of them
4.
MEDELLIA OF THE GRAY SKIES (Cover of The Smashing Pumpkins) You're an empty promise, you're an easy chair You're the Gods forces struck down somewhere You're a secret noticed, you're a mystery sky You're a wish floated up to the night Medellia of my eyes, you're the emptiness of I You're the reason that I write And if you say you will, I will love you still And if I could, I'd throw away this world I'd dress you all in pearls I'd give you what you wanted You're all I notice in a crowded room You're vacant motives unmoved, revealed Medellia of my eyes, you're the emptiness of I You're the reason that I drive And if you say you will, I will love you still And if I just could be anything for you Just anyone at all Anything that mattered, washed out You're the silly reasons in a goldfish laugh You're the ageless season at rest at last
5.
JUPITER'S LAMENT (Cover of Smashing Pumpkins) Gone, long gone Blink and I'll be gone, gone, gone Leave this world of wrong, wrong, wrong Leave it far behind And although my secret's gone I'll try to carry on If I must, I'll get along Without you Gone, long gone Leave this world of wrong, wrong, wrong Beyond the pale, beyond the dawn Flee these mortal bonds No one knows I can't be wrong Still I sing the same old songs I tried to be strong For you Why have you left me Amongst the tall trees? I know I gave her all I had And I tied her heart in ribbons Tied her heart in ribbons Tied her heart in ribbons And bows And I'm gone Oh yes, I'm gone And I'm lost without you I'm lost within you And I'm gone So gone Long gone
6.
HERE,AGAIN Your lips cannot kiss away The bruises on my heart That you never fail to leave behind The images you say you need but call meaningless Can't you see? How they're the end to my mind? I always kept it open for you and only you could put this poison inside You cannot help how you feel so why would you? I can't ever come back here again (repeat) I can't ever escape This was no way to bring me back I told you I'd be dead I still do not know where parts of me have gone Where ever you are, I'm just a missing corpse I've seen death with my own eyes before Now I feel that's all we are Can't you see what you're doing? Takes away all of my last hope? Can't you see what you've done leaves me so alone?
7.
WHEN THE MIND COLLAPSES (2014) Swallowed by the eclipses of darkness I taste the sewers of pain No matter how many fingers I cross The battlefield still takes place Exhausted, my broken hands pull myself to shore Cannot make it over the cliff tops Into the sand my head falls, if not pulled I can't take any more Any more... I can't take any more Any more... Just let me end it all and all of before My former selves collide With the twisted view Of who I am seen to be By very few and I want to correct them Make them seen what I mean but then I dissect their right To see me how they please
8.
HORROR TALES (2014 Acoustic Version) I'm trying not to throw up All these things that make me sick The horror stories you keep on leaving around for me to read I've tried to ignore them I've tried to smash them to pieces But the character I always end up losing is me I'm trying to let go Of all those things I once valued Now I know they only meant something to me I've tried to delete them I'm trying to change them Without them, the good parts are all missing I'm trying to pretend This is not where everything ends But all I have is words that leave a trail of lies I've tried to not care I've tried to find my own secrets But I've already shared all of mine

HORROR TALES (2014 Electric Version) I'm trying not to throw up All these things that make me sick The horror stories you keep on leaving around for me to read I've tried to ignore them I've tried to smash them to pieces But the character I always end up losing is me I'm trying to let go Of all those things I once valued Now I know they only meant something to me I've tried to delete them I'm trying to change them Without them, the good parts are all missing I'm trying to pretend This is not where everything ends But all I have is words that leave a trail of lies I've tried to not care I've tried to find my own secrets But I've already shared all of mine

CARVING SWANS (2013 Reproduction) I declare my heart is true Carved a swan, are you aware it's attached to you? I'm a delicate leaf and you're my shining star Cannot feel you until the lonely nights have risen Watch out for the messages your words don't expose Wish you knew I don't mind as long as your love Doesn't linger into the arms of someone else When I want to be the only thoughts filling up your head As your filling up my life I feel you as you stand next to me Let me take away your fears with my touch Know I am so disappointing, let me make it up to you and if I can't then you are free to disconnect I'm limping, unknowing of what's your intentions but you keep my mind twisting and I'll find a way to untangle You think of me as an asteroid but you're wrong I think you want to be a star in someone elses sky and if so all I want is for you to take with you the knowledge that you're still the only one in mine (repeat)

WHEN THE MIND COLLAPSES (Seaside Sickness Mix) (2014 Reproduction) Swallowed by the eclipses of darkness I taste the sewers of pain No matter how many fingers I cross The battlefield still takes place Exhausted, my broken hands pull myself to shore Cannot make it over the cliff tops Into the sand my head falls, if not pulled I can't take any more Any more... I can't take any more Any more... Just let me end it all and all of before My former selves collide With the twisted view Of who I am seen to be By very few and I want to correct them Make them seen what I mean but then I dissect their right To see me how they please

ABANDON (2014) All that's left is silence Filled up with too much noise Nothing can get through any more So keep on building up these walls What used to look like hope has faded Into the same absence everywhere else goes All of the dark holes have swallowed me whole Now I'm just waiting to go They all turned away when I needed them most They all died when I couldn't take any more They all ignored what was obviously killing me Now it's just myself I must abandon All that's left are these hours They go on and on as though they'll never stop I feel the end around every corner That the hand turns on the clock What used to look like sadness has faded Into the same absence everywhere else goes All of the raindrops drain me of all colour Even my tears split in half as they fall
