Stygian Waves

I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet
Come on along and see what I am good for
I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet
Singing my song these dreams are never done for

There's lines inside the mirror
And miles on my name
I'm still looking at the future
While they try and dig my grave
I'll keep on moving forward
I'll give 'em all a show
Cause I'm keeping every promise
And I've still got miles to go

I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet
Come on along and see what I am good for
I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet
Singing my song these dreams are never done for

There's a fire under my feet
Ambition in my soul
I'm still working for the money while they try to fill my role
I'll keep my nose up to the grindstone
I'll give 'em all a show
Give 'em all a show

Cause the world will leave you half-baked
Regretting all your mistakes
Counting up your lost time
Living on a fault line
Holding onto heartbreak
Reliving all your worst days
I won't give it my life
Not while I am still alive
Still alive
Still alive

Ah, ah

Still alive
Still alive

There were lines across the mirror
And lines along my face
But with every single wrinkle
There's wisdom in the grey

I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet

Still alive

I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet

I try to be better
Look ahead
I'm dead in the depth of my reflection
How can I see through the center?
I'm a fool to think that I could figure it out

These walls are caving in
but I won't notice till the cracks begin
to break into my spine
and take the shape of every line

every line
every line
shape my mind

If I could be a better version of me
I'd step into a mirror and come back clean
If I could turn the deadfall into green
I'd be the hero of the story

But I turn into a villain
when I hurt myself again
and I cannot seem to find the strength
to wield that pen
and change
myself
enough
to break
the mold
that I am in

I wanna be changing
It's a shell
a shield
a cycle that I can't break

Tell myself that I can
a lie
I try a repeated phrase in my brain

These walls are caving in
and I won't notice till the cracks begin
to break into my spine
and take the shape of every -

If I could be a better version of me
I'd step into a mirror and come back clean
If I could turn the deadfall into green
I'd be the hero of the story

But I turn into a villain
when I hurt myself again
and I cannot seem to find the strength
to wield that pen

I wanna be the hero
Please
(I wanna come back clean)

Don't wanna look in the mirror till I can be
Don't wanna look in the mirror till I know that
I'm clean

I wanna be the hero of the story
But I turn into a villain

You're not alone
not this time
You're always home
in my mind
Hold my hand
If you're lost you can reach out and find me
I'll understand

Come closer
always on my mind
My lover
now we're intertwined
Move forward
I'll be by your side

It's just you and me under the stars
Everybody said that we would never go far
Us and them in a wicked world
Working til the sunrise my ocean pearl
It's you and me under the stars
Under the stars

Walk with me
through the night
Let the moon
be our guide
Hold me tight
And through every step in the darkness
We'll be alright

Dream with me
see what we will find
Love freely
my touch will be your sight
Live bravely
I'm always by your side

always by your side

It's just you and me under the stars
Everybody said that we would never go far
Us and them in a wicked world
Working til the sunrise my ocean pearl
It's you and me under the stars

it's you and me
Hold on a little longer
Hold on a little longer
hold on, hold on

It's just you and me under the stars
Everybody said that we would never go far
Us and them in a wicked world
Working til the sunrise my ocean pearl
It's you and me under the stars
Just you and me

Under the stars

I'm moving through the night
I'm a hunter in the dark
Don't you wanna feel the bite
As I sink into your heart

(I wanna live it up)
You run away
(I wanna rip it up)
You run away
(I do it for the thrill of it)
(Don't wanna give it up)
I like it
I want it
I'll get it
I'll take it

It's the thrill of the chase

(Moving through ya)
It's in my veins

Flooding my brain
(Moving through ya)

It's the thrill of the chase

Surrender to the sound
That's leading you to me
And once your mind is bound
I'll never set you free

(I wanna live it up)
You run away
(I wanna rip it up)
You run away
(I do it for the thrill of it)
(Don't wanna give it up)
I like it
I want it
I'll get it
I'll take it

It's the thrill of the chase

(Moving through ya)
It's in my veins

Flooding my brain
(Moving through ya)

It's the thrill of the chase

Surrender your soul
Tie yourself to the bow
Into the unknown
come to me now

It's in my veins
Flooding my brain

It's the thrill of the chase

If you see me handle with care
Please don't break me
Handle with care

There's a weight on my back
just enough to crush my bones
oh, bones, oh
I'm bleeding from the punchline
but no ones laughing at the joke
oh, joke, oh

Cause life's got a sick humor
and a knife held to my throat
I'm starting to sink under
but no one truly knows

So if you see me handle with care
Please don't break me
Handle with care

I'm trying to look ahead
On this barren road
Oh, oh, oh
This grief is whispering to me that I'm
alone, oh, oh
So if you see me
handle with care

I'm fragile now, I'm fragile now,
I'm fragile now
I'm fragile now, I'm fragile now,
I'm fragile now
I'm fragile now, I'm fragile now,
I'm fragile now
(oh I'm fragile, Oh I'm fragile)

If you see me handle with care
Handle with care

I'm fragile now
Oh, I'm fragile
Help me repair
There's a weight on my back
Please don't break me
Help me repair
I'm fragile now

Handle with care

You blame your intuition
for your heinous vision
You pray for permission
for it to taste so wicked

You used to light me up,
but now you tear me down
That was then and this is now
You used to dress me up
in a plastic crown
That was then and this is now

You are every shade of green
You blame your sister and your mother
You wrote a book on self destruction
And put my picture on the cover

I used to want your love,
before I hit the ground
That was then and this is now
I used to fear the blood,
but I'm older now
That was then and this is now

That was then and this now
Master with a puppet expert of manipulation
You blame your intuition
Cut off all the strings
and he would call it mutilation
You pray for permission

He is every shade of green he'll blame his
sister and his mother
You blame your intuition
Wrote a book on self destruction and your
picture's on the cover
And it's a heinous vision
Master with a puppet expert of
manipulation
That was then and this is now
Cut off all the strings he would call it
mutilation
That was then and this is now

Da da da da da da

Raindrops dripping down my face
Wish that I could wish it all away
Sunshine it's not here to stay
Some days wish that I could wish it all away

Da da da da

There's no reason
There's no reason
There's no reason
I should call

Some days I'm waiting way too long
Raindrops on my tongue

There's no reason
(there's no)
There's no reason
(there's no)
There's no reason
I should call

I don't know why I cry
For a moment in time
I lost my mind
I don't know why I try
For a moment
I lost my mind

Raindrops dripping down my face
Wish that I could wish it all away
Sunshine it's not here to stay
Some days wish that I could wish it all away

Wish it all away

All things start to change
With the season
All things start to change
With the season
I lost my mind
Some days wish that I could see your face
Some days wish that I could
Wish it all away

Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Take me on a new trip
(on the highway)
With sun on my face
Let the wind and the river run
(through my veins)
And wash the past away

Ah, Ah,
Far Away

I'm finding love inside the light
I'm finding love inside the light
Take me where the sky drinks
(the water's edge)
And the future winds
Round the waves of the open sea
(the present bends)
through optimistic eyes

Ooooh
Far away

I found a love inside the light
I found a love inside the light

Take me on a new trip
(far away)
where soul and body sway
I'll touch the light with my fingertips
(As I wait)
And watch the sunset fade
I'm leaving now to a better place
(take me on a new trip)
I'll leave behind what I can't take
(take me on a new trip)
I'm looking out with a softer gaze
(touch the light with my fingertips)
I'm learning how
(I'm learning how)
I'm learning how to leave the pain with yesterday
Yesterday

I've been lost in the clouds
Found a friend in the dark
It's creeping down my neck
Carving shapes in my head

It's the path that I'm taking
It's all that I know
It's the voice in the wall
Swirling ink in the bowl

Help me
Before I float away

You'll be the sunshine
I'll stay the same
Hide in the shadows
To kill the pain
You are my lifeline
Keeping me sane
But I've learned to like it
Yeah I've learned to like it
when it rains

I've learned to like it when it rains

Turn my limbs into trees
Watch me float with the breeze
Now I'm one step away
From untying the string

There's the edge of a knife
Laying under the weeds
There's a voice in my head
Screaming save me

Screaming save me

I'm losing sight of the light
I'm losing hope in my mind

Screaming save me

I'm losing sight of the light
I'm losing hope in my mind
My mind

You'll be the sunshine
I'll stay the same
Hide in the shadows
As I watch the daylight start to fade
You are my lifeline
Keeping me sane
But I'll turn your world cold
Cause I've learned to like it when it rains

Rains
(I'll be the sunshine)
I'll be the shadow
I'll load the ammo
(I'll be the sunshine)
I'll turn your world cold
Cause I've learned to like it when it rains

Been singing to the tune of the night
Sunken to the rhythm of a broken tide
I feel the distance
I hear the heartbeat of the past
I am the witness
To the dream that cannot last

The end
It's closer than you think
The end
In the blink of an eyev In the end
It's not too late to change
In the end it's what you leave behind
Been crawling to the heart of the flame
Stepping slowly on the edge of the frame
As I wander
I see the promise of the light
I feel the sonder
As I open up my mind

The end
It's closer than you think
The end
In the blink of an eye
In the end
In the end it's what you leave behind

What you give is what you get
Oh you're burning like a cigarette
All the things you might regret
And your fading silhouette

The end
It's closer than you think
The end
In the blink of an eye
In the end
It's not too late to change
In the end it's what you leave behind
It's what you leave behind
It's what you leave behind
