So Long Steven Long (Album: "The Predator Becomes The Prey" (2014)) (ICE NINE KILLS LYRICS)

.

You're the only one amused by your inconsequential views
You'd have to strike me so much harder to even leave a bruise

Silence all the bitter and the used
Their never-ending stream of abuse
Comes in the form of a critical exchange
When you say "How does it feel to be damned?"

We are defenders of the broken life we've chosen
And there's no one else to blame
We are defenders of loss, the only ones we cross
Dig down and find the strength today

You resent me like a bastard son
With some crooked aim to destroy
Transparent, as your hollow praise

Dig down and find the strength today and the Strength to say
"We are defenders of the broken life"

Bury all of your envy away
Damned are the souls of those who shame what I have made

What Lies Beneath (Album: "The Predator Becomes The Prey" (2014)) (ICE NINE KILLS LYRICS)

.

Well I've been drowning in defeat
But I have heard revenge is sweet
So this is the end
This is the end

Did you really think you'd force me to my knees?
Despite your confidence you'll never bury me
So give it hell, draw some blood
Cause after me comes the fucking flood

I promise I'm not slipping away
Just gotta hold my breath forever
And honestly I need no escape
I'm just caught in the wake of it all and the tide has turned

This is something worth fighting for, I know
But the storm is here
A calamity of hopes and fears
And when the sky starts to give way
The Predator Becomes The Prey
So let the flood gates open now

You cannot fight the undertow
The water churns, reaching for life
But I'll find a hand to lift me up

My Life In Two (Album: "The Predator Becomes The Prey" (2014)) (ICE NINE KILLS LYRICS)

.

Am I just holding onto memories, the perfect pieces of my past?
I never thought I'd be the one to say that dreams don't always last

I've screamed my heart out, given everything
I split my life in two
And I don't regret anything

If I can see the damages by now
Can you hear the sound?
Is it time, or just the voice inside my mind that says -
"Don't throw your life away reaching for yesterday"?
I only promise I'm not giving up today

And when my mind starts pulling away
My heart will have the fight to make it
I'll turn my back on better days
I know my pride can take it

I've sacrificed half of my life
I hear it in every line I write -
That a part of me I lost along the way
I'll never get back again

And when my hope stops leading the way
It might be too late to make it out
And when jealousy will be all I breathe
Who am I to play the martyr?

My head will bow in shame
When my heart stops leading the way
Who am I to play the martyr?
I'm the one to blame
When my heart stops leading the way
Who am I to play the martyr?

If I can see the damages by now
Can you hear the sound and walk away?

Lizzy Blair Always Did Look Good In Yellow (Album: "Polaroids In July" (2012)) (Tempting Paris LYRICS)

.

It took me about three days just to find the nerve to say hello
and when I walked over you said "I'd love to, so you know"
I thought the hard part was over, I was wrong
Sweaty palms and a tied tongue, the butterflies live on

What shall we do? it's up to you...

Many nights spent in wonder
Will she be nervous and will you know exactly what you should say?
I hope I remember her name

You opened the door for her and I even bought her daffodils
I told her that she looked lovely and her smile could have killed
Everything's great when you're seventeen and in love
a hug and then it was over. a night sent from above

We were only kids.

Many nights spent in wonder
Will she be nervous and will you know exactly what you should say?
I hope I remember her name

I look in your eyes, we stare at the moonlight and soak in the midnight sky tonight
A beautiful try, we both know its not right, I'll see you the next time I reminisce

Many nights spent in wonder
Will she be nervous and will you know exactly what you should say?
I hope I remember her name

The Spider And The Bee (Album: "Polaroids In July" (2012)) (Tempting Paris LYRICS)

.

Carefully I watched a spider catch a fly upon my window sill
trapped in a sticky mess well no wonder he's putting up a fight
Refill my coffee and wonder if she'd only known where he had been
And where he would go
Would she still trap him in her nature or let him fly back home?

I'm leaving here on my own

The spider and the bee are like you and me
Lost in love and life and trying hard just to see and not be alone
Mean something to anyone
Will we go home?
Understand that I am the shy little fly and you've slowly become a spider of the night

Bumblebee, soaking up the sunlight while connecting he and she
Their loving calls of the springtime echo through the breeze
It's a comforting feeling that when a life did end another one began
Life can be a beautifully disturbing scene

Now watch me fly

The spider and the bee are like you and me
Lost in love and life and trying hard just to see and not be alone
Mean something to anyone
Will we go home?
Understand that I am the shy little fly and you've slowly become a spider of the night

I guess that's how it goes, this web of life
Tell me something peaceful, whisper something hopeful
I know we are one
I know it's all my fault

The spider and the bee are like you and me
Lost in love and life and trying hard just to see and not be alone
Mean something to anyone
Will we go home?
Understand that I am the harmless little fly and you've slowly become a spider of the night.

The Boys You Talk To In Parking Lots (Album: "Polaroids In July" (2012)) (Tempting Paris LYRICS)

.

Tell me a lie that you think I won't expect whatever makes it easier to leave
Tell me this time I'm the one you want except let's not pretend you mean what you say
Have a nice day

There's something wrong with your eyes.
Was it something I said or something I did that made you cry?

Changing your mind again cause you don't wanna lose me or anyone else.
I'm over you.

Tell me a lie like you've done a dozen times. maybe this time I will fall for you
Tell me I'm fine, I should not overreact. you honestly can not believe I'll stay.
Have a nice day.

There's something wrong with your eyes.
Was it something I said or something I did that made you cry?

Changing your mind again cause you don't wanna lose me or anyone else.
I'm over you.

Sweet Sabastian (Album: "Polaroids In July" (2012)) (Tempting Paris LYRICS)

.

I can't believe my eyes.
He looks just like you
and that's fine by me, baby.
Now sleep is gone I can see.
But here lies my dream.
We've done so well, baby

My little boy smiled today

If you're ever scared of being alone you should know I'll never leave
And when people say that dreams are untrue you can say I'm living proof

Hey, listen to me.
There's nothing that you can't do if you want to

My little boy smiled today

If you're ever scared of being alone you should know I'll never leave
And when people say that dreams are untrue you can say I'm living proof

One day you will move away and things will seem hard.
But know mistakes are fine and don't you worry I will calm her down.
Some day you will meet a girl and let me just say that falling in love
will make you feel like the luckiest boy in the world
Sweet Sebastian, I can't wait to watch you sleep and kiss you goodnight
Sweet Sebastian, I'll be your night light

If you're ever scared of being alone you should know I'll never leave
And when people say that dreams are untrue you can say I'm living proof

I can't wait to watch you sleep
You're the best thing that I've done
I can't wait to watch you dream
Sweet Sebastian, I'm in love
