Fake 04:08
If you say that it was never meant to be Will you taste familiarity Will you run towards a new and brighter day? Will you run away? Can you fake it? Can you fake it till you're home? Can you make it? Can you make it on your own? Can you take it? Can you take it anymore? As the days turn into passing weeks Do you still remember seventeen? Will you face the nostalgic memories? Will you run? Have you not seen it all? Will you anticipate the fall? Can you fake it? Can you fake it till you're home? Can you fake it? Will you reap what you have sown?

Sheltered kid fell in the deeper end Where everybody wants to do you in They'll run you over with the latest trend Like vicious dogs they'll tear you limb from limb Keep standing your ground My naiveté will see you now Rip at me and try to tear me down Keep on thinking I'm out for the count Cutthroat coffee crazed society Caffeinated lucid fever dreams A monument to their stupidity I'll never let them get their hooks in me One by one they fall

Being kind on purpose Putting on a face few can afford In a place that feels like madness In a place that feels like home Being kind on purpose Instead of waiting anxiously by the phone And wondering why they haven't called back Like they don't have places to go Remember how it was When we had just begun? To see the way we were Discovering your purpose Deciding what is right and what is wrong In a place that doesn't give a shit Who you are or where you're from We make it hard on purpose We carry all the weight of what we know And pretend it doesn't weigh a ton It doesn't hold Its harder than it was We were living just because We knew the way we were Oh but its all we know Shame that its all for show Being kind on purpose Shouldn't be so hard but here we are Staring at the ground and wondering Did we go too far? Its better than it was We're now living just because Its just the way we learned

Rome Again 03:27
Another one fell down With an awful sound And can we go another round With shameful circumstance Did we stand a chance Against our inhibitions Indecisions Same old song and dance As it all crumbles away And Juno had her way Built too high to make amends An empire crumbling till the end The pillars fell and the gods be damned Rome is burning to the ground again We'll hide behind a grin Eaten from within And did we ever truly win? With the pantheon of pride Our eyes are open wide In disapproving shame Forget your name There's nowhere left to hide Rome is burning to the ground again

To the Bone 05:58
Bad things happen to people who wait in the rain Tragedy strikes at those struggling to carry the flame The day that we live and we love isn't always to blame The chaos surrounding us all favors fortune nor fame Can't go home All alone Drenched and Soaked To the Bone You can't run You're the only one You can't hide Open wide Personify life as a vessel to carry your pain A being created absolving you of all the blame Shrink into yourself and pretend you have nothing to say Your heart is in flames and on fire it surely remains
