Lyrics: Impress The Millions

carve your name into a tree
scar the world for all to see
mark the map with where to find the key
secure your place in history

prove to future generations
your life meant something to someone
impress the millions after you're dead
your days were spent not wasted

leave behind proof of existence
remind us of your accomplishments
share your thoughts and deepest confessions
be revered for your influence

touch our hearts
shape our minds
dont make this life a waste of time

Lyrics: We Both Knew

my heartless mind always finds an excuse
to replay the last day i saw you

i knew you wouldn't leave
you knew i wouldn't stay

my thoughtless heart pulls apart everything
searching for something more, hidden meanings

we both knew you wouldn't leave
your life behind for me
all your plans already made
and they don't include me

we both knew i had to go
reset and start anew
run away and see the world
and do it without you

i'll do it without you

Lyrics: Freezing

shivering
cold embrace
wish for warmer things

strike a match
the only heat
savor the warmth it brings

freezing
how long can we last
clinging
to our warmer past

call for help
save yourself
no sense in suffering

the flame burnt out
frost bite set in
your pulse is weakening

so quit ignoring it
you’ll kill us both
can’t stand the cold

the passion’s leaving
losing feeling
it’s becoming a routine

our routine

Lyrics: All They See

measure the time you spend
pretending everything is fine

add up the days you waste
convincing everyone you’re okay

all they see are sunny days
not the cold nights between
blinded by the bright sides
the shadows never seen
or maybe they trick themselves
to see the world as it ought to be

watch how the hands of a clock
continue spiraling ’round they won’t stop

robbing you of your life piece by piece
cutting it short like a knife

Lyrics: To All of You

to all of you who know me
better than i will ever care to
know myself

help me see through pretenses
set up to mask reasons why i
left my past

have i been running away from myself
or am i still trying to find who i am
in either case
i haven’t a trace
of success yet

no shovel of mine digs this deep
without the right tools, how can i get
to the root

this question needs answering
i don’t a clue but im hoping you
you do
