Vanish 04:53
I close my eyes and try to find some rest, As pictures form an uninvited guest. Twisting thoughts until they’re redesigned, A static death under a moving tide. I close my eyes, I close my eyes. Under the veil of dark design, I have become the sadness. And when there's nothing left inside, Sometimes, I wish I could vanish. Into the rising light, A darkened morning cast in black and white. I write the words that lay between the lines On empty pages, just a waste of time. I close my eyes, I close my eyes. Under the veil of dark design, I have become the sadness. And when there's nothing left inside, Sometimes, I wish I could vanish.

On Video 06:09
You're only living life through a screen, And nothing has any meaning, Existing in a game of your own. You won't be walking her home. It's a delicate evening. You start shaking as she steps out alone. : You wouldn't believe it, If you hadn't seen it. On video. (Cutscene on screen) You couldn't delete it, Reset and repeat it. On video. (Cutscene eighteen) Can almost feel the rain on your skin, And touch the blood on the pavement. You're walking into sectors unknown. Dialling into her phone To tell him she's entertainment. You hear screaming as you brush down your coat. You wouldn't believe it, If you hadn't seen it. On video. (Cutscene on screen) You couldn't delete it, Reset and repeat it. On video. (Cutscene eighteen) Nothing has any meaning, You're dreaming. Nothing's left when it's over, Game over. Game over. Nothing's left when it's over, Game over. Game over. You wouldn't believe it, If you hadn't seen it. On video. (Cutscene on screen) You couldn't delete it, Reset and repeat it. On video. (Cutscene eighteen)

An unbroken silence, Is all that was left. And once we were happy, Then neutral at best. The tracks in the driveway, Have faded away, I said I would miss you, But didn't ask you to stay. The heart doesn't need to be broken, To synchronise no more. Each day, You replay, In my mind. Over and over again. The door standing open, From the night that you left. And stains from your coffee, Still sit by the bed. The chill from the window, And dust on the floor. The games on the table, No one plays anymore. The heart doesn't need to be broken, To synchronise no more. Each day, You replay, In my mind. Over and over again. In every way, Inside in my mind, Infiltrator. In every way, Inside in my mind, Infiltrator. Infiltrator. You took my heart out from the inside.

Spellbound 06:31
Think twice, You're paying the price, Recall the advice, You chose to ignore, Be careful what you wish for. For when the curse is spoken, You gather darkness before, You've even a chance to be sure. He lays the game down. You’re a piece of the board now. You're in his house now, And fallen down at the last round. Spellbound. You've made, A costly mistake, This glass you can't break If only you'd known, They say there's no place like home, But at a dead man's party, You'll be dancing alone. Dancing alone. Heart of stone.
