Collapsing Sun

[Verse]
Burn it in my eyes this view of you
And wake up from the dreams I want to hold on to
Cause the light is fading from this scene
And I'm not sure how long it will last
[Chorus]
[Am I even here?]
The light from the collapsing sun
has drawn my memories one by one
And I'm screaming your name but the words just won't come out
[She said I don't know who you are anymore]
[Verse]
How did we manage all those times before
Dreams make up for lost time
But you know that I want more
The dark is creeping into my mind
And hope is becoming hard to find
I'm paying the price for the mistakes I have made
[Chorus]
[Am I even here?]
The light from the collapsing sun
has drawn my memories one by one
And I'm screaming your name but the words just won't come out
[What was it you said to me?]
[Bridge]
Who are you?
I don't recall
The faces that I've lost
They look all the same
And I don't know who to blame
I see shadows in the corner of my eyes
A crowd of people haunting me
They're circling like vultures
Another body dead at sea
[Breakdown]
Burn it in my eyes
Burn it in my eyes
[I scream these words out but the ocean's too big to hear]
Burn it in my eyes
[But the ocean's too big to hear]
Burn it in my eyes
[Chorus]
[Am I even here?]
The light from the collapsing sun
has drawn my memories one by one
And I'm screaming your name but the words just won't come out
[Extended Chorus]
Burn it in my eyes this view of you
And wake up from the dreams I want to hold on to
Cause the light is fading from this scene
And I'm not sure how long it will last
[Outro]
Burn it in my eyes
Burn it in my eyes
Burn it in my eyes
Burn it in my eyes

Ripples
02:08
|

|
[Verse]
Feeling a little empty right now
Swiming through this blackened pool
Been in a haze and things aren't so clear
But I know you
[Interlude]
[Verse]
Shapes linger through the dark
And then the dark sounds consumed
Been in a haze and things aren't so clear
But I know you
And I know you
[Chorus]
And I feel the ripples
And the boatman's call
And I'm dragged aboard
And I'm dragged aboard

How Happy We Were
03:47
|

|
[Verse]
Every memory that we shared
Were moments we could not repair
Floating like corpses in my head
Beautiful fragments of the dead
To forget you would heal me for a while
But I'd rather remember the pain and your smile
[Chorus]
I'm drowning
I don't wanna leave you here
It's darker
I feel like I'm crawling through my mind
I see you
From the past, you're covered in leaves
Your breath clouds the air
Thinking back, I'm not sure how happy we were
