lyrics

-Sideways or Upside Down-

Heavy breakdown in mood
Am I out of control?
Am I not in control?
Or is it…
The sleepiness is consuming everything?

All these questions are logical
Not impossible
Not for you
I’m sick and tired of wanting more
Than I’ve had before
Where’s the line?

I’m sideways or upside down, I’m talking to myself
Goddamn, how did I end up with broken dreams?
Or am I just wrong as usual?

-Keeping The Wolves At Bay-

I feel it coming from all sides
Trying to find out what I’m hiding
Telling me the words that I won’t say
But my mouth can’t seem to make a sound
My eyes won’t stray far from the ground
I’m not sure sure how to keep the wolves at bay

The world seems cruel and strange
Something I can’t seem to change
When the clouds are forming in my mind
The feeling leaves me almost blind
The light changes from yellow into grey

Flimsy and see-through
Eyes glazed by granite hue
But she gets me to believe
I could be free
From all the weight that’s on my back
The load will lighten when I chose to leave
The fear to trust another human being
The load will lighten when I chose to leave
The fear to trust in me

-Doubt-
(instrumental)

-No Time To Delay-

Faster! There’s no time to delay!
The days in this life are few
But I’m certain I’ll always find a way
To doubt what I need to do
to keep my troubles from coming to repeat
I keep running though the ground
has vanished from beneath my feet
Don’t look now
The sky’s replaced the street
