Flight Risk 03:30
I'll never find my way up when the sun goes down, When the streetlights fade and there's no way out. Paralysed by my fear of heights, Don't leave me stranded here in my doubt. Do wolves feel sorry for the sheep? Do you ever say your prayers before you sleep? On your knees you hope your dreams come true, A glimpse of heaven may have to do. Stand up! It's not worth fighting for! Live Strong! It's not worth dying for! Look Up! Stand and be counted for! Die Young! I can't take it anymore... So light the future with the flames of the past, To guide our way across the thunderous seas, These days are numbered and we know they won't last, But there's still things to see that you won't believe I strain to see right through it all This jealousy of a mote in my eye so small And now its plain to see, That in the end I never walked that tall Find a way out, gotta take flight, Spread your wings and leave it behind, Find a way out, gotta take flight, Spread your wings and leave it behind

It started out with a kiss, An unstoppable love, Don't want to brag about it, Now I can barely move, Don't want to talk about it These days it's easier to let go than to try and pick myself up I've never wanted something more than you My hopes set higher than your expectations, But still let down by you Are you my anchor? Are you my sail? I refuse to drown, I refuse to fail Let go, let go You're always dragging me down All this time spent with all my regrets, And all these lips sealed with all my secrets, And all this guilt filling all my pockets, I can barely hold myself up Are you my anchor? Are you my sail? I refuse to drown, I refuse to fail Let go, let go No longer dragging me down

Hold on, its not strong enough to break you Stay strong, this pain can only shape you Remember when you were young, take on anything so fearless Now you're old, those days are gone, the fight inside your head so vicious Do you want to breathe? I can set you free You can count on me Baby you can count on me Let go of what you've lost You've got to take hold of what you want Keep moving forward, get off your knees The game ain't over and we're playing for keeps This pressure is never ending Try not to break but always bending My head cant take no more Need the release I'm dying for Resolute we stand and conquer demons This worthless coal turn into diamonds Be careful with these games you play Don't gamble your life away Two steps forward, one step back Trust in me and stay on track

P's and Q's 03:57
Straight faces staring at me, I like you a little bit angry A little cut and a little bit wasted So mad you can almost taste it I'm thinking, you're feeling You'll take whatever I'm dealing You're faded, I'm not jaded You're naive! What do you want me to say? You're fuelling my apathy, Too bad your feelings mean nothing to me I'm not sorry, I feel fine, I'm already dead on the inside, Too bad your feelings mean nothing to me Straight-laced and all offended, Hurts more than you comprehended My perceptions, you're assuming P's and Q's have got no meaning Your respect I reject I'm fine here with all my neglect You're lazy, I'm not crazy, You're naive! Watch out here's a trigger warning, Watch the white knights all come crawling I'm not sorry and I'm not ashamed You're always looking for someone to blame Insulted just to feel something, you may as well stand for nothing Politically correct and full of rage You're always looking for someone to shame

Vantablack 03:16
Crack in the ivory, Fluorescent decay, Bleach my colours and watch me fade to grey You took it all with your gravity, Leash all the light but watch it slip away Show me a liar and I'll show you a thief Put on a straight face and drop to my knees, Cut me some slack or cut me free It's too dark to see the end of you and me Vantablack, the shade of your heart, Drawn to the darkness, straight from the start Vantablack, the shade of your heart, Pull me together or tear me apart Infinite distraction, shining refracting All this callous and casual destruction Addicted to lethargy, somebody rescue me Detached and distant, always indifferent These beautiful lies are so damn malignant Liberty is new to me, I've never felt so free It's better to burn out than to fade away
