Sneak You In 05:38
I'm taken like a photograph some might say Chopped up and framed, matted for the world on display Take a look up close, tell me what you see, is it too surreal? Blended stories of misfortunate mistakes that just get louder, louder, louder She's an angel I must say as she digs into my mind Got me changing for the better, yes I've finally found the one Wake up and feel the weight off your shoulders, while it's pouring rain outside Learn to let go of the day and let your barrier down Oh I've been reaching out for you and I -- I've got the feeling that you're reaching all around So I sneak you in, while the image starts unraveling Breaking the ground, a reflection of me is pouring out I sneak you in, between my eyes and underneath my skin Who could have seen that our love would defy the laws that reign We'll let time tell the truth, and the bumps along the way When you find the rhythm you don't let it go, the beat feels stronger every night It's everything I wanted and I'm ready to build up our dream Oh I've been reaching out for you and I -- I've got the feeling that you're reaching all around So I sneak you in, while the image starts unraveling Breaking the ground, a reflection of me is pouring out I sneak you in, between my eyes and underneath my skin

Lost 05:01
She's lost, she's part of the world today Break off a piece of my soul and bury it underneath the ground This cycle's ordinary, we're stumbling, staring down our fate with the wrong impression They stole another story The cold & rainy morning, I scream & shake but I feel numb Watch as I float away in my own grave Searching the haze for shore Never will I land, cause I'm making the same mistakes I'm running from myself again Quite a living apparition, I'm surely disheveled Ooh while I wait and sing they'll take care of everything Black clouds are threatening to swallow us whole ...On my own... Lost - to someone new I presume Wake up, another day I spend lamenting for her I'm picking up the pieces left behind with her memory No more searching for an answer... just take some time to breathe Caught in the door and I'm shaking from top-down How could I pull myself in? Bury the hatchet before I lose my soul I'm running from myself again Quite a living apparition, I'm surely disheveled Ooh while I wait and sing they'll take care of everything Black clouds are threatening to swallow us whole ...On my own... I'm running from myself again Quite a living apparition, I'm surely disheveled Ooh while I wait and sing they'll take care of everything Black clouds are threatening to swallow us whole
