1.
Loose from the world, Now I am floating The walls they bend with the light that is flowing The love in your eyes awakes my mind Dealing with your mind again Lost without your eyes Down the drain, down the drain Floathing down Streaming rain Lost without your eyes Random people in my head Don't you see, be like me, don't forget The mental machines in my head They're working all the time Firing neurons in my brain In my brain, floating down the drain Firing neurons in my brain They messed me up this time

Shorelight 03:36
I am lost at sea Now that Sara's moved away Took her sacred soul, Left her perfect memory And I drift away Into fog that seems too thick To see shorelight Shorelight Shorelight Shorelight Now the rain comes down And I'm trembling at my feet As the dirt pilled up Is drifting out upon the streets All the pain I hid, fenced away behind these walls Made the sky turn dark Burned up all that fueled my heart I'll be holding still I'll be waiting here to see Shorelight Shorelight Shorelight Shorelight The water surrounds me And all I see Are thoughts forming waves They close me in As I try to remember How to swim How I long to see Shorelight Shorelight Shorelight Shorelight

You gave me some drug To get through the night On my own. It messed up my brain, Now things seem so strange while you are gone. The blood in your eyes Made me feel So paranoid, baby. The flesh seems to rot Under your skin, baby. But the air I'm breathing in, Just Feels right to me. You told me you'd go driving outside to watch the storm. And gave me some drug to get through the day While you were gone As you stood there, in the doorway, You told me to take just one pill a day But sometimes My nerves get out of control, baby. Because I can't win I can't win This fight we're in The air I'm breathing in, It once felt right to me It once felt right to me, But now you're paralyzing me Now you're paralyzing me You are paralyzing me
4.
When your heart gets blocked by all you want When your soul grows pale and dry When your thoughts obscure all you try to proof When you can't come down to earth When you can't deny all your eyes can see So you put your trust in lies I'll be reminding you Of all that you can never lose Because though you're lost I see the light in you I see the demon too you try so hard to lose When you're lost I see the light in you But there's a demon too That needs to walk with you All you can't accept, all you tear in two, all you judge by wrong and right At the surface might appear as you But it's only absent light I won't take this weight I won't take these calls I won't hear your lies Because when you're lost I see the light in you I see the demon too That you try so hard to loose When you're lost I see the light in you But there's a demon too He'll need to walk with you
5.
There’s no ending, no begining, no last truth The signs that I found were of no use There’s no ending, no beginning, just a stream A long, indifferent sound I am floathing in This empty room is where I’ll wait Until the lines that we have drawn will be dissolved Mirrors surround me, but still I can’t see my own eyes move A perfect circle, a worthless struggle, there’s no escape And it won’t matter where you stand or where you look Because the lines that we have drawn, will find there way into You The clouds will give my tears back to you The clouds will give my tears back to you So take them back, take them back into your heart So take them back, take me back into your heart You
