Mirrors 01:38
I'm staying in tonight there's nothing there worth leaving for anyway I'm staying here tonight there's more to life than all that runnin' 'round So I'm staying in tonight I can't stand the crowds and all of their misery I'm staying here tonight don't think of leaving why don't you stick around ------------------------------- Stay with me Watch TV Keep me company We can stay up all night (we can stay up all night) ----------------------------- I'm staying in tonight Snow blankets the ground Hiding everything I'm staying here tonight Heat rises thick Makin’ it Hard to breathe I'm staying in tonight Rain floods the streets Sketched with electricity I'm staying here tonight Wind cuts sharp To my bones When I’m all alone

Reaper 01:56
you gotta put a few steps between yourself and the reaper make a good choice put yourself in the freezer look for the truth then you signal the sender I love all this, Ruth it's so hard to choose you gotta put a few leaps between yourself and the leader embracing the light of the ultimate sun pick up the stars just as soon as you see them I love, always, truth it's so hard to choose

Relax 02:07
I’m starting to Freak out We’re starting to Having panic attacks Thinking that I Am nothing but a failure in this life So much stresses me out It’s leaving me torn And I’ve been like this since I was born And here we are In this moment Just a few blinks and it’s gone We wish there was more The world is too crazy For me to sit comfortably In one place for too long Why can’t I RELAX I’m starting to Freak out now We’re starting!

Warrior 01:50
call me on the phone tell me that i'll always be your enemy become the handsome warrior here comes the handsome warrior call me on the road tell me that it's time to meet infinity saw me on the shore salvage the wreck of an assembly become the handsome warrior here comes the handsome warrior

Flares 01:53
If I told you that I loved you Would you be with me forever? Blazons are just comfort food What else is there that is not rude? Is there anything left that is still good? You just swallow whole and don’t chew. Without a care in the world, don’t you? This state of affairs makes me so blue. But I’ll still make things and make it new All it takes is sweat and horse glue Be sure that the bubble wrap sticks To all the bolts and fortitude When will we all get together? Instead of this angry sever White male rage endeavors How does the other feel ever? When will we all get together? Instead of this angry sever White male rage endeavors How does the other feel ever? It takes a nation to enact change But we’re still not even in range To do differently Or even sing in key While automatons angrily Attack consciousness profusely Evolution comes naturally Maybe in the next century If there’s still anything left Besides this curfew cleft Pallets left on craters Are you still willing and able? To make art that cares At a time when no one stares At your profile or your pic I still I really miss Rick I really miss Snitch. Being away from your friends is such a bitch.

Genie 02:15
Do you know how it feels to be In your charade A prisoner of a war That started too late I hold my breath To hide myself away Hope is fleeting now Distorted shades of gray Do you get how it feels To be betrayed Another helpless body On the rocks of fate I want it over now I wouldn’t know how I wouldn’t care how I hold my breath I know I have to wait
7.
Crystals 02:36
when I dance with the crystals I can see tomorrow is it better now? as a glacial noise watching the reflection when I fight with the crystals I can see tomorrow
