Lost Cause

The past, it reads like a seismograph
For long the waves were steady and compact
One day, everything just fell apart
And now the peaks and troughs are deep and dark
If time heals all wounds, why do the reading remain
If time runs out soon, what will refuse to change
If time marches on, how has this world gone so still
And if time has withdrawn, where do we get our will
Believe in yourself, no one's doing it for you
Pull the bottles off the shelf, all your lies and all your truths
Smash them open one by one, let your friends run free
We are broken, we are one, we are everything your see
Yeah we're gonna rebuild even if it's a lost cause
Moving on without guilt 'til it's back to the way it was
Your perception of the world is unique, the only one
The reflection of your heart's found in every one of us
Your rejection of our love will blot out your vibrant sun
The inception of a void to consume your hope and trust
We're gonna get you some help even if it's a lost cause
And if you're going through hell, we gotta keep you from getting lost
Yeah we're gonna rebuild even if it's a lost cause
Moving on without guilt 'til it's back to the way it was
The past, it reads like a prophecy
Gone wrong, and you are left with apathy
Here we go
Yeah we're gonna rebuild even if it's a lost cause
And if you're going through hell, we gotta keep you from getting lost
We're gonna get you some help even if it's a lost cause
Moving on without guilt 'til it's back to the way it was
Yeah we're gonna rebuild even if it's a lost cause
Moving on without guilt 'til it's back to the way it was

Saving a Monster
03:50
|

I am no savior, I am no saint
The gardens I burn down and forests I taint
Saving a monster, placing your bets
All on a creature you're best to forget
Deterioration, I'm falling to bits
Asking my body just too much to sit
Breaking the village, breaking their hearts
A futile attempt to repair my dead parts
Just let me go
Fall into snow
Just let me go
You'll never know
Give me a reason, give me a rhyme
Give me the will to keep wasting your time
When the dust clears, when I have gone
Then you may see I have done you all wrong
Just let me go
I've lost control
Just let me go
You'll never know
I am no savior, I am no saint
Lives I uprooted and people I taint
Saving a monster won't turn him pure
This is too much for me, of that I'm sure
Just let me go
Fall into snow
Just let me go
You'll never know
Just let me go
I've lost control
Just let me go

The More Things Change
05:44

First thing right after class
I walk out on the ice
Above the Looking Glass
Got my eyes on paradise
Cold water hits my skin
And I must make a choice
To get out while I can
Or I could
Or I could sink
I already knew
This body doesn't fit me right
Lacking retinue
What can I be remembered by
The more things change
The more I stagnate
The more I grow
The more I backslide
The more you love me
The more I feel hated
I fall behind
The more things change
Answers never match
The questions burning in my head
Make another splash
Inside a pool the world forgets
I already know
My chances, they are running out
Nothing I can show
But doubt
The more things change
The more I stay the same
The more I see
The more I'm in the dark
The more you care
The more I feel alone
I'm going blind
The more things change
Always I have known
I'm just somebody's effigy
Empty as a stone
