amidst the waves they buried me sank like concrete into the sea hopes nor prayers will set me free through the darkness they buried me find me where the coral grows lift my body out from underneath breathe new life to my old lungs all we were we'll leave to rot away i rest where a breath of air could make me float astray so be my anchor in waves i am pulled beneath the water by my heart 'til you release me find me where the angels bathe cleansing me of all my past mistakes moulded by the ocean's hands bereft of life i wait here for the end i rest where a breath of air could make me float astray so be my anchor in waves i am pulled beneath the water by my heart 'til you release me felt the sun shimmer through illuminates my path to you felt the air heard its sound leading me to solid ground i looked around i stopped i stared came to see you were never there

Blossom 05:22
show me how to pretend i'll ever be one to sway the minds of doubters i've a need to project to louden a voice to which you never listen until you return i am caught in amber to keep me pristine and to hide the darkness blossoming within some may call me a fraud i am but a sheep that hides in wolves' clothing i've ambitions to kill but i lack the strength it takes to pull the trigger until you return i am caught in amber to keep me pristine and to hide the darkness blossoming within you seem so sure you want no more this can't be true i'm not for you i'll fire my gun, pull you undone show me what's left heal my distress

Admirer 05:20
when i fall from grace will you look at me the same? 'cause someone's got to care about the two of us we are actors running through the same lines that lead us slowly to our last curtain calls we have no remorse for the failures we've become and we don't long to cure away our sicknesses but i have longing in my heart for you near it's only distance that i know how to fear fate was all we had learned to trust and our hearts are set on the futureless we had built ourselves into fleshbound gods just to see what's there beyond the walls we laid and the sun grew tired of watching us expire wasting years at a time devoured by homespun lies so i'll seek your warmth as the darkness grows douse the fire in me before it burns me down
