Shine & Fade
Show me the journey Frame by frame Let me burn in your sunlight Love passed Days went way too fast I barely fucking captured it My memory is counterfeit Freeze my soul I just assumed the good times would last forever I just assumed our young love would never grow old Show me how to live (Page by page) Before we get too old (We're torn apart) Show me how to breathe alone (But never broken) Show me everything we couldn't keep from the start When we were younger When we were younger And the memories we lost in the dark Do you wonder? Do you wonder? Do you wonder where the love in us goes? To another life? Maybe to the afterlife? Take me with you Where the city light glows Take me with you Take me with you Freeze my soul and let me bask in its glory Before we lose another fucking page of our story Page by page we're torn apart I'll stay strong if you stay strong So three, two, one Let bygones be bygones Rest where the fight in me whispers The memory blisters Rest where the fight in me whispers Let bygones be bygones A quiet place where the fight in me whispers Memory blisters The subtleties upon your ageing skin Never seemed to shade the youth within If you overflow in afterglow Take me with you Take me with you The subtleties upon your ageing skin Never seemed to shade the youth within If you overflow in afterglow Take me with you Show me everything we couldn't keep from the start When we were younger When we were younger And the memories we lost in the dark Do you wonder? Do you wonder? Do you wonder where the love in us goes? To another life? Maybe to the afterlife? Take me with you Where the city light glows Take me with you Take me with you And I will hold your hand until these bones corrode to dust And we can start again In the next life Show me everything we couldn't keep from the start When we were younger When we were younger And the memories we lost in the dark Do you wonder? Do you wonder? Show me everything we couldn't keep from the start When we were younger When we were younger And the memories we lost in the dark Do you wonder? Do you wonder?

Drown into my violent ocean Pick apart my selfish notions And breathe until you someday break free Pick apart and reshape me I hear the heartbeats through the silent crowd Why don't you show me how? Complicated and cunning They mean nothing Make me patient Make me want to be here Because I fucking don't Make me confident in my skin And less outspoken Give me strength to burn on And depths like the ocean Sprеad me through fountains Taller than mountains Spread mе through fountains Taller than mountains Break me and reshape me Into a vase so I can hold you close Woah Until I'm empty Break me and reshape me Into an ocean you could lose yourself Woah Until I'm empty Drain my sorrow and blood Until I am empty Too a scar from a cut So reshape me Stories cover our skin Just like a fracture on a vase Bittersweet hindsight Feels like we wasted days We are youthful at heart Each time these words are shaking all alone Worlds fall apart Can you reshape me Can you make me Brighter than starlight Hopeful like dawn Why don't you break me Break me Break me And reshape me Spread me through fountains Taller than mountains Break me and reshape me Into a vase so I can hold you close Until I'm empty Break me and reshape me Into a vase so I can hold you close Woah Until I'm empty Break me and reshape me Into an ocean you could lose yourself Woah Until I'm empty Until I'm empty Until I'm empty Until I'm empty Until I'm empty

Face this on your own Never felt like caving Racing long way home As you stand still waiting You're the only one that's holding on The only one that's waiting Face this on your own Never felt like caving Turn the pace around On your own I think I'm better off fading Just like the sun Burning out everyday We grow a little bit colder Turn the pace around On your own You'll get away from here And I'll watch you bloom So let me tell you about moving forward Let me tell you about letting go And you said Fuck your regret Tell mе something I don't know You told me stories about moving mountains Thеy never happen when you're standing still Now I'm like Fuck your mistakes Tell me something I don't know Count back from three To fall straight through my broken hands It's time to face this on your own Just how did our worlds get so fucking distant? Take the racing long way home If we're lifelessly caught in a dance It's time to face this on your own Then why does leaving feel so fucking different? Take the racing long way Face this on your own Never felt like caving Racing long way home Face this on your own Never felt like caving Racing long way home As you stand still waiting You're the only one that's holding on The only one that's waiting Face this on your own Never felt like caving Face the world Face yourself Face the pace your heart beats before you forget it (Face the beat) Face the pace your heart beats It bends and breaks Until we're out of time Until we're out of time A part of me Is screaming the brave roam free So I'll cut myself From all that I've done All that I've done I couldn't save you Internally I'll sell my soul for free And I'll cut myself From all that I've done All that I've done I wouldn't change it Face this on your own Never felt like caving Racing long way home As you stand still waiting You're the only one that's holding on The only one that's waiting Face this on your own Never felt like caving

Cherish the seeds Bloom into memories Rest me at ease Cause nothing ever ends up how you plan it Maybe I’m just wasting time Inside this modern curse Instead of better friends of mine Maybe I’m just wasting time Inside this modern curse (Modern curse) Cherish everything you hold so dear Never let go Never forget that One by one they slowly disappеar Maybe let go Maybe thеy’ll come back The moments flow through the window But I am not so torn I am not so broken now Cherish everything you hold so dear Never let go Render my dreamscapes to my bones Intertwine my elations eternally So they can never escape me So they can never escape me Or falter So shatter my bones when I rest Disassemble me Ration my faith with my friends With my family Eradicate the enemy in me And the sorrow Take the best of me Take the best of me Learn, for I have learnt The bright side of me is something I could be For I have learnt I am not so broken Maybe I’m just wasting time Inside this modern curse Instead of better friends of mine Maybe I’m just wasting time Inside this modern curse Instead of better friends of mine Cherish everything you hold so dear Never let go Never forget that One by one they slowly disappear Maybe let go Maybe they’ll come back The moments flow through the window But I am not so torn I am not so broken now Cherish everything you hold so dear Never let go

You used to have a light inside you That shined just like a lamp post Poison my faith with your loathe Wildfire melt me fucking right down Blending my bones with the dirt Be brave 'cause I am immortal With or without you So retrace the journey Rewrite the story Maybe I'll find meaning Maybe I'll find nothing As we gather here around you now Around you now With flowers I can't feel anything anymore I've drowned inside myself Shine and fade, tidal wave Rest my bones on the ocean's floor And time moves on (Time moves on) With or without you (Without you) So I'm sitting on the ocean's floor And there's nothing to discover anymore Maybe I'll find meaning Maybe I'll find nothing So I'm sitting on the ocean's floor And there's no way to recover anymore Maybe I'll find meaning Maybe I'll find hope Maybe I'll find God (Besides the same lamp post) That you crashed your fucking car And when morning came We layered the footpath with flowers Bleed and the whole world bleeds You sleep and the whole world stays the same Poison the faith in me In prayer we wasted time for hours It's a pity, your car Left us nothing but a scar An open note to the world I keep buried in my pocket A pity, your car Left us nothing but a scar An open note to the world I keep buried in my pocket I can't feel anything anymore I've drowned inside myself Shine and fade, tidal wave Rest my bones on the ocean's floor I can't feel anything anymore Shine and fade, tidal wave Rest my bones on the ocean's floor

Haste away my dear I have been stuck inside a dream My cynical mind wanders From the shine and fades into my fear Of living for too long So paint my name in vain Show me the truth when I'm gone Show me the path when I'm done Show me the wars that I've won Show me the way to move on Show me the part I had fun So show me the truth when I'm gone Show me the path when I'm done Show me the wars that I've won Show me the way to move on Show me the part I had fun Behind this masquerade The world burns on In technicolour flames After you're gone Silent disarray Our silent home As our fair weather fades It's all my fault Haste away my dear I've been stuck in a dream Where we keep falling forever I've been stuck in a dream Where we keep falling forever So the less you know the less you fall And we keep falling forever and ever and ever As kingdom comes Crashing down forever and ever and ever As kingdom comes crashing Waste another year I have been stuck inside a dream My cynical mind wanders From the shine and fades into my fear I have been here for too long So paint my name in vain Behind this masquerade The world burns on In technicolour flames After you're gone Silent disarray Our silent home As our fair weather fades It's all my fault It's all my, it's all my, it's all my fault It's all my, it's all my, it's all my fault It's all my, it's all my, it's all my fault It's all my, it's all my, it's all my fault It's all my, it's all my, it's all my fault It's all my, it's all my, it's all my fault

Borrow a mask to pretend Two faced til the end Progress is time so slowly Brace for the now until then A place you can mend Burrowing down beneath my skin You've killed me before But still I let you in I bet you'll do it again Patiently You crawl under the surface Down beneath my skin Take from me When you're feeling hopeless Find the shine within Burst my heart You are not the only part I'll pick up the pieces when You crawl undеr my skin Break my bones I am not the only friеnd You broke into pieces when The ice was wearing thin So break my fucking bones Fake my final breath Birth til death Shine until I fade Fake my final breath Birth til death I'll blame no one but myself For every wish that never came true And you Patiently You crawl under the surface Down beneath my skin Take from me When you're feeling hopeless Find the shine within Find the shine within Every coin in my wishing well Has stories to tell Sing me to sleep Every light on my carousel Drag me through hell Sing me to sleep Patiently I count Every coin in my wishing well Has stories to tell Sing me to sleep Shine until I fade Every light on my carousel Drag me through hell Sing me to sleep Sing me to sleep
