1. HOUSE OF CARDS

It's late at night the worlds asleep
And I'm trying not to think
I take some pills cuz my mind bleeds
I'm thinking what is wrong with me
Because the only thing i know
About honesty
Is every lie i told
That you believed

I'm afraid, to be alone
I'm afraid, that one day you'll find out

And you'll be amazed
At the secrets i keep
You'll be amazed
At my mouth full of lies
I'm too afraid to come clean
My life's still free in the house of cards

Now i can't look you in your eye's
Because the guilt is killing me
I try disconnect my heart again
Just so i can breathe
I wanna be myself again
But i just can't cuz

I'm afraid, to be alone
I'm afraid, that one day you'll find out

And you'll be amazed
At the secrets I keep
You'll be amazed
At my mouth full of lies
I'm too afraid to come clean
My life's still free in the house of cards

It's such a shame what I've become
After years of breaking down
My whole life has come undone
Cuz I'm trying to fake it all
And I know that you love someone
But that someone isn't me
Isn't me
No

You'll be amazed
You'll be amazed
You'll be amazed
You'll be amazed

(...)

And you'll be amazed
At the secrets I keep
You'll be amazed
At my mouth full of lies
I'm too afraid to come clean
My life's still free in the house of cards

You'll be amazed
You'll be amazed


2. ONE LAST KISS

She looked at me her eyes were watering
Then I knew that this was about to end
Frozen in that moment, time was standing still
I could feel my heart,

Goodbye, she said
There's someone in this world for you
So good luck, she said
I went and found somebody new

And I gave you every waking moment
I gave you everything you wanted
And now, I know you're giving me up

She walked away and I could hardly breathe
Turn around and fell down to my knees
I'm shivering as the truth is settling
I'm sure tomorrow is nothing to do

So before, you go
Could you just leave me one more kiss?

And I gave you every waking moment
I gave you everything you wanted
And now, I know you're giving me up

And I can't lie still
When there's someone else beside you
And I can cry still
Cuz I'm all alone this time

I gave you everything you wanted
And now, I know you're giving me up

I remember when you were falling
And I was there just holding onto you
And I remember all those
Scars I wear that you carved in me

And I gave you every waking moment
I gave you everything you wanted
And now, I know you're giving me up

And I can't lie still
When there's someone else beside you
And I can cry still
Cuz I'm all alone this time

I gave you everything you wanted
And now, I know you're giving me up


3. HERE I STAND

My hands shake cuz today,
I know you're gonna break my heart and,
My life without you in it
Is a life not worth living.
I'll be strong but I wish I was someone else,
Anyone but me tonight

Here I stand (Here I stand)
All alone, (Here I stand)
Tonight (Here I stand)
And I wish I was strong enough to breathe (Here I stand)
Without you, (Here I stand)
In my life, (Here I stand)
I wish I was anyone but me.

So I'll start to pretend I'm ok
But you should know by now that
My life is smoke and mirrors,
The one thing is crystal clear
That I'm the one wishing i was someone else,
Anyone but me tonight

Here I stand (Here I stand)
All alone, (Here I stand)
Tonight (Here I stand)
And I wish I was strong enough to breathe (Here I stand)
Without you, (Here I stand)
In my life, (Here I stand)
I wish I was anyone but me.

(Where do we go?) (Where do we go?)

Inside I start to fall apart. (Where do we go?)
And I'll pretend I'm holding on (Where do we go?)
So I guess ill bleed in silence.(In silence)
I guess I'll bleed in silence.

Here I stand (Here I stand)
All alone, (Here I stand)
Tonight (Here I stand)
And I wish I was strong enough to breathe (Here I stand)
Without you, (Here I stand)
In my life, (Here I stand)
I wish I was anyone but me.

Here I stand (Here I stand)
All alone, (Here I stand)
Tonight (Here I stand)
And I wish I was strong enough to breathe (Here I stand)
Without you, (Here I stand)
In my life, (Here I stand)
I wish I was anyone but me.


4. ADALIA

She wraps her tragic moments tightly around her neck
Then she hangs herself with them as I try to disconnect
Cuz she wants to choke on her life again
Breathing it in like a deadly poison.

She cries cuz she's lost and she doesn't even know what she wants
Her eyes grow cold as she begs the world to just let her go

She lives and breathes in a world that brought her to her knees
And now I'm addicted to her cuz that girl is just like me
And I'm gonna choke on her life again
I'm breathing it in like a deadly poison.
Cuz I just want to get through to her,
Before her last breath.

She cries cuz she's lost and she doesn't even know what she wants
Her eyes grow cold as she begs the world to just let her go

She cries cuz she's lost and she doesn't even know what she wants
And she hides all alone inside the pain that she wont let go
Watching her life pass her by, watching it all through her watering eyes
But I'll be chasing dragonflies from her darkest skies until the day she dies.


5. ESCAPE FROM HERE

Just need something that will take me away

I'd throw my heart into your fire, when i was blind
And you knew that I'd come crawling back, and you knew you'd always find me there
But this time some things are gonna change, I'm breaking out
And I know someday I'll be ok, and I know someday I'll stand again

But this won't be the end of me
Cuz I'm breaking away

I just need something that will take me away
To help me disconnect to get you off my mind
I just need something that will give me the strength to get away from you
To escape from here

And as I'm sifting through the ash, I find myself
And you knew that I'd come crawling back, and you knew you'd always find me there
But I'm sure you're never gonna change, cuz you've learned this all before
And I know that you'll come crawling back, but I swear you'll never find me there

I just need something that will take me away
To help me disconnect to get you off my mind
I just need something that will give me the strength to get away from you
To escape from here

What was I waiting for, The years went flying by me
And I can't ever get them back
What was I afraid of, I just want to live my life while I'm still alive
Cuz I'm still alive

I just need something that will make me numb
To help me disappear, to anywhere but here

You'll break away

I just need something that will take me away
To help me disconnect to get you off my mind
I just need something that will give me the strength to get away from you
To escape from here

For now I'm fine, for now I just want to live my life while I'm alive
For now I'm fine, for now I just want to live my life while I'm alive
