I sit, staring, gaping Into the sweet dreams of abyss Time traveling memories Back to the sweetest kiss The only victory I fought for Rest there upon your lips While your ever gentle hands Trickled to my hips (chorus) And you reside on the inside of my eyelids And you love But all sanity forbids I waited Now I stare in disbelief Your eyes Were the ultimate theif When they stole my heart I close my eyes Cannot believe I am awake If this is a dream Give me eternal slumber Cause I am so afraid That our glory days have number I'm strong but my heart Is so easy to break (chorus)

Closed Doors 03:06
The faith you had in your heart Grew so heavy, cold, and dark There was nothing for you here anymore We all just left as you closed your door So you've been holding your breath Ever since your mothers death You told us you needed a way out your mind so riddled with doubt You gave up, you gave in You drowned yourself whiskey and gin You gave up, you gave in You were never comfortable in your skin Your eyes still linger in my mind Your voice was always soft and kind We all wish we saw the signs But we couldn’t read between the lines You gave up, you gave in You drowned yourself whiskey and gin You gave up, you gave in You were never comfortable in your skin

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away The other night dear as I was sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms. When I awoke dear I was mistaken And I hung my head and I cried You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away "I’ve longed to hold you, since I first saw you I dreamed that you could be my love Now that I’ve held you, you’re all I see dear You have been sent from heaven above" -Turkeyes Laffity You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away

Next To Me 03:02
The colors you see The fumes that you breathe That you would be with me The greatest choice you've made in my life The words you write The melodies sweet You put up no fight When i spoke of you being my wife We’ve got our whole lives ahead of us Our children would be proud when they've read of us You’ve got my heart till it's beating end Till then you'll be my lover be my friend No matter how hard I’ve tried no words Do justice to describe How your love has never lied Unless it's next to me
5.
The winds of time The trials of crime Their icy cold fingers Grasping at our throats The future holds us The present scolds us From the past our monsters Storm the castle moats Put your hands over my eyes Hide the evil from my cries When we get to where we’re going I’ll wake up safe and sound The ship on life's seas The tumult of it frees From our perseverance Proved ourselves that love floats I will sing you a song Of how love’s never wrong How demons seem like dust Whenever you’re around Put your hands over my eyes Hide the evil from my cries When we get to where we’re going I’ll wake up safe and sound

Hollow 02:14
I won't let my best friend in No I wont let him in again The trust that we had so long ago Has left me for my sorrow And I’m lost again I wont let my true love in No I wont let him in my friend Stuck in somerthing I started so long ago Something thats empty and hollow And I’m longing for him I wont let the good lord in No I wont let him in again The faith that I had so long ago Has become so hard to swallow And I’m so thirsty I wont let myself in No I wont let my soul rest No I can't let these pain go become I’m so empty and hollow And I will be Free
7.
Today, I'll write you, a song that's happy And fills my heart with butterflies Tomorrow I'll write another about How in the end one of us cries When sooner or later We're not too blind to see our lies And our love is rotting We can't see through the swarm of flies For now we'll feel the tingle linger on our lips Our fingers tangle Into something that feels like bliss Until the day we do, we don't, we almost kiss One day with outstretched arms we'll reach and barely miss And so it goes In patterns or rows The bell curve of love Can be graphed so well it flows It sews, unseams As all our hopes and dreams Jump out our windows
8.
There are claw marks on the walls From the animals that lived here Only horror dwells these halls For this house has only seen fear No one can tell you what family means Alone, dark, where no one could see No one was there to hear your screams You're still suffering at twenty three standing next to you at his wake I can feel your hand start to shake Now through the tears in your eyes I heard you laugh through your cries "It's over now", “It’s over now” “He is finally gone”
