Four Words 02:46

Its not my job to tell you what to do What to do But sometimes I see things you can't see It makes me want to help you if I can I could help if you'd let me, let me Four Words I said I wouldn't say Four Words I'll Never say that I told you so I sit and watch you from afar Potential to be more than where you are Why waste the time only to realize That I could help you if you'd let me

I'm not your peacemaker As of today I'm not your go between I wont be your mediator Don't look at me, I'm not the instigator All I want to say is Your on the inside I'm on the outside I don't want to be Stuck in the middle Why am I here now Just leave me out of it I don't want to be Stuck in the middle I'm not involved in this Don't suck me in I have nothing to do with it Your things are not my problem I'm not taking sides It's not my problem and... All I want to say is Your on the inside I'm on the outside I don't want to be Stuck in the middle Why am I here now Just leave me out of it I don't want to be Stuck in the middle I never wanted to be in this position But I always end up here A never ending volatile condition That I always have to endure

Cleaning Up 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes green and sometimes blue Welcome to my life the preview Never know what I might encounter More than enough to spiral me downward Cleaning up after you This is all that I do Cleaning up after you I feel indigo To clean the slate is what I do Taking care of everything that's accrued Nightmares come and surely they go As everything turns to indigo Cleaning up after you This is all that I do Cleaning up after you I feel indigo Modern technology the freshest scent I'm happy for the existential vent Killing all of the bacteria Take my place in line at the cafeteria Cleaning up after you This is all that I do Cleaning up after you I feel indigo

Color and Contrast 02:24
lyrics

Its not enough for me to see Something in monotony Don't want to count the shades of grey They say to abstain Leads to the mundane Opposites attract And lead to the abstract You cant tell me that I don't want to see Color and contrast Makes me feel alive Color and contrast Helps me to thrive Open my eyes to see Whats in front of me Take it all in And no its not a sin They say to abstain Leads to the mundane I hope everyone can see The reality And feel the comfort of the shade tree Color and contrast Makes me feel alive Color and contrast Helps me to thrive

Flaunt Your Flaws 02:40
lyrics
buy track
As you climb the mountain of perfection And the sky is perfect blue Don't look back into reality Don't let your regrets come true Everybody, flaunt your flaws Keep looking at your perfect reflection It doesn't have to go away Think about what makes you you Don't listen to what the naysayers say Everybody, flaunt your flaws No one really understands the burden That personal perfection requires We all don't want mediocrity Failing perfection it makes us all liars Everybody, flaunt your flaws

Give To You 03:26

You cant remember when But I always did say something to you Mentor, Underscore I'm a store of wisdom for you Here me now, somehow I want to help you but you have to tune me in Help yourself and your health Take a listen I have something to say I have something that I want to give to you Something to give but you wont take it I have something that I want to give to you Here we are, you're on your own Everything is so much covered So you think until the day That you never anticipated Tell me now, how does it feel It's almost though I was never once there Here you are, you're on your own I could help you if you'd only let me I have something that I want to give to you Something to give but you wont take it I have something that I want to give to you I hope you understand Why I feel the need to give you It's what I do If you'd open up your mind You might find yourself in a better place I have something that I want to give to you Something to give but you wont take it I have something that I want to give to you

I feel your pain when I'm waking up When I go to sleep When I eat, When I drink It never stops I feel your pain when I see you When I think about you When I dream day or night Wrong or right I feel your pain I feel your pain when you talk to me When you walk with me When you breathe, when you see When you leave I feel your pain I feel everything that you are going through Wishing that I could Take it away, Make it OK Fade to grey I feel your pain I'm fellow feeling into you ich kann mich in dich einfüllen Ich fühle deinen Schmerz I feel your pain

Some Things We Can't Say 02:57
lyrics
buy track
We all know the message the day brings Will our silence, bring compromise We all want to share our experience Risking a chance to become harmonized There are some things that we cant say That we think but we can't verbalize There are some thing that we can't say Hold our tongues until our thoughts become neutralized In the corner sits a mass of wisdom Broken down and undermined Another missed opportunity And now we watch as the blind leads the blind There are some things that we cant say That we think but we can't verbalize There are some thing that we can't say Hold our tongues until our thoughts become neutralized Just say what you want to say Don't hold it back you'll regret it one day There are some things that we cant say That we think but we can't verbalize There are some thing that we can't say Hold our tongues until our thoughts become scrutinized

Don't Judge Me 04:53

Stand in line at teh counter Feel the stare of your eyes on my All dressed up for my interview You dismiss me before I'm through Don't judge me, until you know me And you don't know me Don't talk about me, until you've talked to me Please talk to me Socialize at the party Sense the glares piercing through Take a test in the classroom Wishing that I had worn my costume Don't judge me, until you know me And you don't know me Don't talk about me, until you've talked to me Please talk to me

Someone Really Needs You 04:55
lyrics
buy track
Remember what I've taught you Keep it in your soul On the hilltops Along the road At the crossroads She stands calling Shouting in the streets Search for her like silver Hunt for her like gold Staring at the ceiling Wonder what to do (I won't always be there) I gave you what you needed (You will put it all to use) Now turn around because some really needs you (I won't always be around) I was there before you Put here to guide your ways So never rely on what you think you know Twilight comes And your head hits the pillow You'll sleep through the night Peace you will know Staring at the ceiling Wonder what to do (I won't always be there) I gave you what you needed (You will put it all to use) Now turn around because some really needs you (I won't always be around) Someone needs you So turn around They really need you

about

With pop and rock sensibilities, a sprinkle of Nu-metal, a touch of Screamo, and dare I say, Jazz influences, and this album will keep the listener entertained while challenging them at the same time.
