To live the life you want You've abandoned those in need A necessary casualty Or so you believe Your wake will always travel And well up in the eyes Of those that you sacrificed In order to survive I'm that aimless arrow Lost from my very start Violence without purpose Born of broken hearts No one will ever guide me As I sail through the air Now I just bring sadness In those who choose to care I know the tears they're weeping And the damage they will take It's the curse of restlessness And the weight of your mistakes They are those that love you And those that need you more Than the sense of gravity Banging down your door I'm that aimless arrow Lost from my very start Violence without purpose Born of broken hearts No one will ever guide me As I sail through the air Now I just bring sadness To those who choose to care Aimless arrow Lost from the start Aimless arrow Lost from the start (Aimless arrow) Lost from the start (Aimless arrow) Lost from the start (Aimless arrow) Lost from the start Lost from the start

See, I've grown to find the same old sun Erases shadows, devours light We burn - we burn at both ends Fate has no compass fear has no driver What a cruel world clarity brings We burn - we burn at both ends Our ghosts were made of good that got in the way Some just gave up in the end Our faith was made for those who lost their own way They just gave up in the end Nothing will bring peace Nothing will bring rest And I've grown to find the same old sun Erases shadows, devours light We burn - we burn at both ends Fate has no compass fear has no driver What a cruel world clarity brings We burn - we burn at both ends Our ghosts were made of good that got in the way Some just gave up in the end Our faith was made for those who lost their own way They just gave up in the end Nothing will bring peace Nothing will bring rest Death and loss blossoms, within the wound Life and love writhing, wilting in you Stayed up those nights to see What the future could mean Stayed up those nights to feel A new day rise in me Burn at both ends Stayed up those nights to see Burn at both ends What the future could mean Burn at both ends Stayed up those nights to see Burn at both ends A new day rise in me

When you chose to hurt the honest ones They scarred effortlessly Fading - felt but never seen Something lost and nothing gained This damage still looks the same Darkness gets in the way What I feel, I cannot say When you chose to love all the wrong ones I bruised beautifully Fading - felt but never seen When you chose to hurt the honest ones They scarred effortlessly Fading - felt but never seen Something lost and nothing gained This damage still looks the same Darkness gets in the way What I feel, I cannot say It's my blood that's drowning me My gift to you Sweet tender abuse

There's no such thing as good enough For arctic eyes and hard earned rust I've grown tired of counting odds To somehow make things even When sadness always comes home Sadness comes home Sadness comes home Cursed to be your second best This amber soul will find no rest I've grown tired of standing up When every one just gives in When sadness always comes home Sadness comes home Sadness comes home I take so little and I bleed so much My hand me down heart is out of luck I take so little and I bleed so much My hand me down heart is out of luck No such thing as good enough For arctic eyes and hard earned rust I've grown tired of counting odds To somehow make things even When sadness always comes home

Empty on the inside Searching - for all my life Empty on the inside Aching - for all my life Empty on the inside Hunting - for all my life What made me whole is slipping through my hands Youth leaves us all as this death commands And I can't shake these beasts from my bones It's their rabid hunger that built me this home And it sickens me to say this is the only way But if it hurts you I know it must be true Empty on the inside Aching - for all my life Empty on the inside Hunting - for all my life Empty on the inside Losing - for all my life I am empty

The sparrow fell from its perch From the dead weight of this earth His precious held life long dreams Were someone else's old misgivings Don't live as the echo But thrive as the sound Don't live as the echo But thrive as the sound The boy dug deep with his hands Only to find poisoned lands And all he could carry all he could take Were our legacies of hand me down mistakes The fruits of our tears rot at the vine Not enough heart not enough time No right answers to their wrong ways When we inherit our graves (Don't) live as the echo (But) thrive as the sound (Don't) live as the echo (But) thrive as the sound Don't let your future Writhe in our past Don't let your future Writhe in our past Don't let your future Writhe in our past Don't let your future Writhe in our fucking past

My love, wrap your hands around my heart Free me from the frost that enveloped my life My love, reach out your arms and pull me close Let us tread in silence as their world drowns beneath My love, wrap your hands around my heart Free me from the frost that enveloped my life My love, reach out your arms and pull me close Let us tread in silence as their world drowns beneath If being alive is just to survive I'd choose to drown in the turbulent seas If being alive is just to survive A glacial pace comes to an end It brings on the floods that are the truest of tests A glacial pace comes to an end Let our love guide us through the torrents ahead If being alive is just to survive I'd sink within you for eternity A glacial pace comes to an end And it brings on the floods that are the truest of tests A glacial pace come to an end Let our love guide us through the torrents ahead Don't give up on me My love, wrap your hands around my heart Free me from the frost that enveloped my life My love, reach out your arms and pull me close Let us tread in silence as their world drowns beneath A glacial pace A glacial pace A glacial pace A glacial pace

What kind of vicious muse Broke the both of you? Why did your golden hearts Effortlessly bruise? How did that waning spark Fade to black and blue? (Just) name the demons, overhead The same names as old forgotten friends To remind you that who you love Will cut your throats in the end (Just) name the demons, overhead The same names as old forgotten friends You see they will never leave Your blood soaked bed How you will grieve will set you free? How you will grieve will set you free? What kind of vicious muse Broke the both of you? Why did your golden hearts Effortlessly bruise? How did that waning spark Fade to black and blue? A vicious muse

Being brave got in the way Of recognizing missteps we've made So we said goodbye to moonlit eyes And met the morning and its flood of light Gripped the thorns of the rose Cherished the beautiful pain it holds Something so fragile and flawed At least we know it's pure Veins and veils have their place As a way out of our past mistakes Veins and veils have their place As a way out of our past mistakes Being brave got in the way Of recognizing missteps we've made So we said goodbye to moonlit eyes And met the morning and its flood of light Gripped the thorns of the rose To cherish the beautiful pain it holds Something so fragile and flawed At least we know it's pure Blood in my veins Says it's never too late Blood in my veins Says it's never too late Veins and veils have their place As a way out of our past mistakes Veins and veils have their place As a way out of our past mistakes

Swam out to sea To try and be me To drown those that Thought they could never sink When in the deep Weakness is easy to read Coral blue grows in you Coral blue tells the truth Swam out to see What karma would bring It's jaws crashed down On drowning bodies around me When in the deep Weakness is easy to read Coral blue grows in you Coral blue tells the truth When in the deep Weakness is easy to read When in the deep Weakness is easy to read When in the deep Weakness is easy to read When in the deep Weakness is easy to read When in the deep Weakness is easy to read

Sadness fills up our lungs Their flesh hangs on our broken horns Strays lay claim to shame in the way A currency that once adorned The blind beauty of our world Strays lay claim to shame in the way Strays lay claim to shame in the way Alone we wander Our hunter guides us true Our footsteps shake your ground So let blood flood this valley Carved from years of constant tears It's the shadows that are leading me From my youth to the tomb It's the absence of a purpose That turns me into you Head over heels with our wounds Yet we search for more to lose Shame in the way Strays lay claim to shame in the way

Your roar of love Slayed my despair It ripped me from my path That led me to nowhere You shook me from my sleep That willed me to die A final goodbye All we love we leave behind I'm so sorry That I missed your lives While I was on the road Learning to survive You deserved so much more Than I could ever provide Thank you for loving me And bringing light to my eyes All we love we leave behind Nothing in this world Could ever compare To the hole in my heart And the weight in the air When you took to the sky And I lost you to time A final goodbye All we love we leave behind I'm so sorry That I missed your lives While I was on the road Learning to survive You deserved so much more Than I could provide Thank you for loving me And bringing light to my eyes All we love we leave behind You deserved so much more Than I could provide Thank you for loving me And bringing light to my eyes All we love we leave behind

I've found myself Running out of time Relating to those that Just stopped trying Clinging to those little things And the light they bring I bow down to you Extinguished youth Scavengers became Future romancers And my angels carry A predatory glow I'm weaker by the day No way to be saved I bow down to you Extinguished youth Emptiness Drags me down To the depths With no sound It's what I lack That attracts (me) To the jaws Of defeat Mend me End me Mend me End me Mend me End me Mend me End me Let the future know I won't be there tomorrow Let the past know I gave them my all I'm aching for an end Grown thinner every day I bow down to you Extinguished youth
