"Repeat, Repeat"

Out of the nothingness, it lifts
Like an old familiar friend
Feelings that I've felt before
Again and again and again

Grips my heart, it holds on tight
And my thoughts go back to her
I should have known by now
Except the past is looking blurred

Could you help me
Could you help me

[chorus]
I'm tired of these feelings being put on
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat
All I'm looking for is something real, oh
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat

I thought that I was over this
It was so long ago
That the butterflies took to the skies
And finally let me go

But here they lay, ensnared again
And I won't let them out
Of my beating chest, though I try my best
It's a losing battle now

[chorus]
I'm tired of these feelings being put on
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat
All I'm looking for is something real, oh
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat
The things I would never want to have to
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat
Breaking from the cycle, falling victim again
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat

Am I running in circles, running in circles
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat
I'm still running in circles, running in circles
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat

"In The Light Of Day"

The night is falling down on me
Trapped in the walls I build, I see this disbelief
The shrouded clouds that cover all
That keep the light from breaking through where I withdraw

I was made for the daylight
Break me out of captivity
This inactivity, tonight

[chorus]
Where will I find You
Under these skies
Still in the darkness
Open my eyes
My eyes
In the light of day

So hard to fight a stoic life
When all the wrongs are what feel right
The greatest battle that we fight is inside
I'm here, I'm breathing, but I'm still barely alive

[chorus]
Where will I find You
Under these lies
Still trying to fight You
Show my disguise
My disguise
In the light of day

Open my eyes
Open my eyes

In the light of day

PokeRock: "Anticipation"

I saw your strongest from the start
But I was blinded by my heart
I could have seen it coming from a mile away
But I didn't say

We went along, you led me there
You led me on without a care
And through it all, in the back of my mind
I felt a shudder, I knew you were lying

[chorus]
This is how it all ends
Tracing back to the beginning
Anticipation, I was waiting
For my heart to get torn apart
To get torn apart
And I let you

I saw my weakness from the start
Don't know why I let down my guard
Cause in every move you made
You knocked me down a little ways
Till there was nothing left

I'd be a fool to think
You'd do anything
Than what my heart had told me
Hindsight sees everything
I see everything
It's all unfolding

[chorus]
This is how it all ends
Tracing back to the beginning
Anticipation, I was waiting
For my heart to get torn apart
To get torn apart
And I let you

I let you
I let you

I blame myself for never choosing properly
A way to sheild myself from all the things that make me bleed
I curse myself for never keeping a calm mind
My heart jumps to the front lines, to the front lines

[chorus]
So this is how it all ends
Tracing back to the beginning
Anticipation, I was waiting
For my heart to get torn to shreds
To get torn to shreds
You tore me to shreds
You tore me to shreds
And I let you

PokeRock: "Compoundeyes"

You are the target
I am the arrow pointed
Steady, waiting
I can see clearly
Through all these windows
My eyes are now creating

What once was a longshot
Now in my grasp
You better hold tight
Or move fast

[chorus]
These compoundeyes
Will hit you every time
My compoundeyes
With no one left alive

You never thought I'd hit
When my strongest move
Was my defecit
But oh how the tables turn
With my eyes unblurred
I will never quit

This isn't over
It's only begun
Look over your shoulder
But you can't run
No you can't run

[chorus]
From these compoundeyes
I'll hit you every time
My compoundeyes
With no one left alive
With these compoundeyes
I'll hit you every time
Yeah, my compoundeyes
You better run and hide

Try to evade it all you want
It may be the only chance you've got

[chorus]
Cause these compoundeyes
Will hit you every time
My compoundeyes
With no one left alive
Yeah, these compoundeyes
Will hit you every time
Compoundeyes
With no one left alive

"The Sky Is Crying Out"

The buildings are upside-down
I'm spinning out in circles, round and round
Do you see me
Falling out the sky
Like a aeroplane in a hurricane
And you, the passerby

The city is now the sky
The ocean is above me, tell me why
I couldn't stay the same
As I was before
My thoughts were dense, it all made sense
But was it really life?

[chorus]
Open up above me
An atmosphere of truth
I need to see the answers, see the proof
It's falling all before me
The clear as day becomes the stormy
With pain of clouded vision and doubt
The sky is crying out

"So Much Wrong"

I could cry an ocean now
If the tears would just come out
But instead the thoughts press up against my head
And leave me shaking
Heart is breaking
World is upside-down

Give me just a chance to breathe
And don't come chasing after me
There's one too many questions in my head
My hands are shaking
Heart is breaking
World is upside-down
But you don't see it somehow

[chorus]
If there's a reason
If there's a reason
It better be a good one
But I see no reason
How can you say right
When there's so much wrong
So much wrong

Bitterness pulls out a seat
And puts the feelings on repeat
I can't just act like everything is fine
World is shaking
Bonds are breaking
Pain is all around

And you tell me
That this is the end
You tell me
It's never gonna happen again
Again

[chorus]
If there's a reason
If there's a reason
It better be a good one
But I see no reason
How can you say right
When there's so much wrong

Can't quite pen why it feels so alarmingly cold in my soul
Can't pretend that I never felt it and try to let go
When there's a deep black void like the ink of a moonless sea
It's eating at me, it's eating at me
It's eating at me

If there's a reason
If there's a reason

[chorus]
If there's a reason
If there's a reason
It better be a good one
But I see no reason
I see no reason
I see no reason
How can you justify
When there's so much wrong
So much wrong

"Across the Chasm"

Everything inside of me is dying for a purpose
Praying that these steps I take won't make my efforts worthless
Help me see, help me see, help me see
What divides me here
When You lead, when You lead, when You Lead
All becomes clear

[chorus]
Oh, oh
The greatest hope I've found
Isn't void, it isn't faceless
Yeah, it's written on the pages
Oh, oh
The only lovely sound
Is Your voice, it's calling out to me
For me to turn around

Reaching for a reason in the midst of this decline
I gave away my clarity, and traded for a lie
Break me down, break me down, break me down
I'm sick of settling
On the ground, on the ground, on the ground
This is the final stand

[chorus]
Oh, oh
The greatest hope I've found
Isn't void, it isn't faceless
Yeah it's written on the pages
Oh, oh
The only lovely sound
Is Your voice, it's calling out to me
For me to turn around

[instrumental]

[chorus]
Oh, oh
The greatest hope I've found
Isn't void, it isn't faceless
Yeah it's written on the pages
Oh, oh
The only lovely sound
Is Your voice, it's calling out to me
For me to turn around
