Writings In The Sky Verse: I'm awake for the first time in the longest time. It feels like I'm alive. Don't you think that it's a sign that I'm feeling things for the first time in my life? Chorus: 'Cause when I, when I got high it washed away the pain inside. To fall is to fly. You can't keep on believing. The memories will hide. They'll stay, conquer and divide what you left behind. Verse: "Keep your head up, Honey." They always say, but it's hard to keep a head up when it's thoughts are heavy so, I put on a guise and hope no one will see that I'm slowly crumbling. I'm not as strong as I seem. Chorus: 1x Bridge: I, I'm alive, but it's hard to remember when half of me has died and when I try to articulate the right words are at the tip of my tongue, but when I try to speak they dissipate. So, I sit and breath. I focus on the better parts. The happiness that I believe is there somewhere deep down. And I keep these heavy thoughts from sinking me by keeping my head up in the clouds. Chorus: 1x

New First Sin Verse: There's a darkness deep within my soul;a power that I cannot control. It has its hold, it's in my bones, it chills me to the core, but there's a light a fire that shines and strong and steady beam that brings the light to my darkest nights and carries on 'til morning. Chorus: I want a cleanse, a sweet release, a purge. I want some clarity. I want to rid myself of sin and start new. I'll save my first new sin for you. Verse: I can jump or I can fall or I can choose to end it all and leave behind a life that's hard with nothing more than greeting cards. A coward's plunge, a weakling's fate, yet some choose not to hesitate. I will not let that fate be mine. I'm here on Earth let me do my time. Chorus: 1x Verse: Repeat verse 1 Chorus:1x

The Next One Verse: Your wild eyes were no surprise. Your clever voice concealing lies. We used to talk all the time now we don't say a word. I doubt we'll ever notice that both of us deserve this. I always thought you were the one. To be there when all is said and done. Chasing dreams from the bottom of a dusty glass. I doubt we'll ever notice that both of us deserve this. Chorus: Why'd you have to go? We never faced the resistance and now we watch from a distance. Why'd you have to go and destroy all that we've done to move on to the next one. Verse: But then again I never asked Why your dreams came first and my love came last. You took the blame for the things I had never done. It's harder to admit it, but both of us deserve this. Chorus: 1x Brief vocal fill Chorus: 2x

Mirror, Mirror Verse: Oh, my God what have I done? I don't recognize myself. My wicked ways have shackled me to this shallow grave. (And) They say you'll never get out alive.
Chorus:Father forsake me. Mirror remake me. I have been searching for far too long. Incase you forget me just know I fought bravely. There's only so much you can take when from scratch becomes our resting place. Verse:I've tried to be the picture of perfection, your Aphrodite, but I can't fit the mold you've created. I'm tearing at the seams and it seems to me I'm my own worst enemy. (And) I fight myself everyday. Chorus: 1x Bridge: All that I am is all that you're not. If I'm going down I'm taking both of us out. Chorus: 2x

Crave Verse:You take the light out of the room. You draw all the focus in on you. You dictate space the light comes through. I'm not a star in front of you. Pre-chorus:You're the aperture. You're the dimmer switch. You put a choke on the life I want to live. Chorus: Photosynthesize, until you burn out of my life. I'm talking back what's mine. No more of your lies just let the darkness hear your cries. And I'm flipping the switch for the last time. Verse: I see you lurking across the room. I know you watch my every move. You don't think I'll survive without you. My life's one fire you can't defuse. Pre-Chorus 1x Chorus 1x
