The Fear 05:19
lyrics
Listen to the voices in my head Now listen, are they mine of what I’ve read? I follow to the route of all the mess I am hollow While my thoughts undress Racing to the future and the past I’m stealing visions from the glass I am crying a pool for the masses I’m trying to catch it while it lasts This fear will eat me alive If I don’t fight it This fear will eat me alive And so I hide it This fear will make me insane Just like the others This fear has got me locked up Under the covers So I run, I run For the covers I run, I run For the covers I run, I run For the covers I run, I run for Burning down pictures from the past I’m building a world upon the ash I’m crawling, recover from the crash I’m burning the mask Mirrors have long forsaken me This skin so thick wont let me breathe Watching a stranger in me bleed Body run dry This fear will eat me alive If I don’t fight it This fear will eat me alive And so I hide it This fear will make me insane Just like the others This fear has got me locked up Under the covers This fear has taken it all I try to shoot it This fear has taken it all I’m out of bullets This fear has got me a ghost Among the living This fear has taken it all And I’m still giving So I run, I run For the covers I run, I run For the covers I run, I run For the covers I run, I run for Remove this blindfold From my eyes Remove this blindfold From my eyes I got my guns out Shooting my lies Remove this blindfold From my eyes This fear will eat me alive If I don’t fight it This fear will eat me alive And so I hide it This fear will make me insane Just like the others This fear has got me locked up Under the cover So I run, I run For the covers I run, I run For the covers I run, I run For the covers I run, I run for

Lost 03:35
lyrics
Boy you been thinking Tokin’ up and drinking What’s that you’re sinking? Are you lonely? Your eyes look heavy Last February You though you’d buried your past And then the rain came like it does You though you were the only one And then the rain came like it does And so you hid beneath your buzz You’re lost (repeated) I feel invaded And isolated Like I do when I’m alone at the fight Love constipated And I may be jaded But the darkness holds The key to the light You were my dark queen I was your teenage dream You made me feel alive Tears dressed in Maybelline Running through cars What a beautiful way to die You’re lost (repeated) I was his pretty little boy Better yet I was his toy Moving with the shakers Underground the fame fakers Name takers Don’t save your best for later But don’t be too attached You know the fame will undertake ‘ya I was his little boy Head in the ploy Met a dark soul I was broken by that boy Head in the game I’ll hustle for the fame So don’t get too attached you know Ill take it all the way

Love? 03:53
lyrics
We’ve been driving around Baby forever and a day Won’t you come over hear and baby we’ll play On this long journey its time we had a break I’ll grab my legs But baby don’t look away Would you like to see my mind? Would you like it from behind? And baby this is love Love, love, love This really could be love Love, love love Love, love, love, love Love, love, love love Smoke that cigarette till the pain goes away I miss those hands I miss that face And bad boys find a way to their saving grace While the good are tortured and tossed away Would you like to see my mind? Could you stay forever mine? And baby this is love Love, love, love This really could be love Love, love love Love, love, love, love Love, love, love love Would you like to see the darkness? That I feel inside Would you like to see ugly? That I’m trying to hide Can you show the parts of you? That I have yet to see Can you cure the cause Of mass conformity And baby this is love Love, love, love This really could be love Love, love love
