Stomping Grounds

Ever since you left here, many things have changed
It may not look that way to you, but somethings out of place
The ones who moved on out of here tried to find a better way
The ones that chose to stay remain in a state of decay
Welcome to our hometown, these old stomping grounds
Streets where we all grew up, everything's run down
Addicts roam the streets like zombies, looking for their fix
The hunger for junk will cloud their judgment, they just cant resist
I'm stuck here in this same old rut, going out of my mind
Twisting paths our brothers take, downward they wind
Welcome to our hometown, these old stomping grounds
Streets where we all grew up, everything's run down
Surrounding towns with money, turn a blinded eye
Left alone to struggle, we're stuck here till we die
You gotta find a way to get away, some ties you got to sever
Before this place sucks you in and keeps you here forever.
Welcome to our hometown, these old stomping grounds
Streets where we all grew up, everything's run down

The Bugs

Feel the cold sweat pouring down my face
Eyes are burning holes right through my brain
I can feel them crawl, they're on my skin
Bangin' at your door, please let me in
The bugs, the bugs, they tell me what to do
They speak me lies I know deep down aren't true
They cover my face until I cannot see
The bugs, the bugs, can't shake them off of me
Lock myself in my room tonight
Fight or flight, we run until we die
Hide away from the demons
Friends like seasons commit treason's
The bugs, the bugs, can't tell me what to do
Don't speak me lies I know deep down aren't true
Don't cover my face until I cannot see
Some day, these bugs, I'll shake them off of me
The bugs are coming for my brain
They've come to take me away
We cannot hide for it's not safe
Before the bugs have lain to waste
Crawl into my eyes (They're full of fear)
Coming in disguise (They're watching always near)
Pouring through the cracks (They're hiding in the walls)
Never coming back (They took it all, they took it all)

How Am I Not Myself?

Talk about the man that you think you are
Brag about the man that you wanna be
Recite the same stories night and day, yeah
You talk yourself up the night away
Hide your true colors, you don't want them to know
That your whole entire life is just for show
How am I not myself?
Livin' through somebody else
All of these lies that I tell
How am I not myself?
Choose what face you'll wear tomorrow
Craft the myth you'll speak that night
Never let them know that your life is flawed, yeah
You're holding up the curtains of a desperate facade
Sobering words repeat in your head
And the lies you carry bear down like lead
How am I not myself?
Livin' through somebody else
All of these lies that I tell
How am I not myself?

Push/Pull

I should have walked on by
You had this look in your eye
I'm just another guy,
But i thought i would try
I could feel something there,
The way it hung in the air
Into your eyes I stared,
It really wasn't fair, wasn't fair
Oh, yeah push my away,
Pull me in to push me away
Another false alarm, seemed you were struck by my charm
How could you do so much harm to fall asleep in my arms?
Oh, yeah push my away,
Pull me in to push me away
Now my mind's in a twist thinking back to this
When i went for your lips i didn't think you'd resist
I felt a spark in my heart, I thoguht you did too
Silly me i should have known it was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
It was nice to meet you
It was too good to be true
Oh, yeah push my away,
Pull me in to push me away
No longer must i wonder what we could have been
The echoes of your touch still linger on my skin
of your touch still linger on my skin

Come Down

I cannot explain just what it was i felt
You'd have to see it for yourself
So take my hand and drown the world in the color that it needs
I can see into the infinite
These eyes are staring
Yeah these eyes are staring
Wont you come down with me
Let the waves carry us out to sea
Wont you come down with me
Allow your mind to set you free
Do you want to see what is and what will be
Do you want to know what they don't want you to know
Surrender to the cosmic bliss on your lips
Without a care
Yeah without a care
Wont you come down with me
Let the waves carry us out to sea
Wont you come down with me
Allow your mind to set you free
Won't you take these wicked thoughts, erase them from my head
Chase them away
Jumbled thoughts and clouded minds forget the words i spoke
What did I say
Reciting a dead language that we left there on a note
Speak in tongues
Comforting coherence as I sink into the bed
I am one
Sink into the bed
Sink into the bed
Sink into the bed
Sink into the bed
