I've got a bad case of the 'need-to-knows"
My curiosity is killing me, it's filling me with feelings
That I don't want to feel anymore
"This won't happen again"
That's the phrase I repeat over in my head
My thoughts race around at the speed of crazy
I think that maybe I'm losing my
Touch me, please
So I know that I'm still here
Scream my name
Call it out for me to hear
I don't want to feel
This way ever, never again
I can't break your spell
You witch, get out of my head
And I can't take this hell
Over and over, I try to get back to myself
And over and over again
So give me the pills
Take me out of this hell
I'm begging, baby help me out
I'd do anything, oh I would do anything
So please, oh please
I'm running on no sleep
My dreams have a mind of their own
They are on repeat playing all those nights
Over and over, I'm losing my
Touch me, please
So I know that I'm still here
Scream my name
Call it out for me to hear
I don't want to feel
This way ever, never again
I can't break your spell
You witch, get out of my head
And I can't take this hell
Over and over, I try to get back to myself
And over and over again
I don't wanna know if you're taking my advice
Don't wanna know if you've moved on with your life
Don't wanna know his name or how you've been
No, I don't want to hear your name
I don't want to hear it jump out of the mouth of anyone I talk to
For the rest of forever, I'll lose my mind
If I hear it one more time, now
Touch me, please
So I know that I'm still here
Scream my name
Call it out for me to hear
I don't want to feel
This way ever, no never again
I can't break your spell
You witch, get out of my head
And I can't take this hell
Over and over, I try to get back to myself
And over and over again

I can smile, if you want me to
Be as happy as can be, if you just ask me
And I can sing, if you want me to
I'll sing you a song, sing along if you know
And it goes...
I can say what you want me to say
I'll say anything to anyone, just say the word
And I can do what you want me to do
I'll be your puppet, you be my puppeteer
I can be who you want me to be
I'll reap all the benefits, prey on their ignorance
The bliss that I miss
Now I mean it this time
Let's move on to divine
But I can dream what I want to dream
I can't change my mind and you can't change me
I've decided to break all the strings
Erasing the past with these new memories
I'll paint the walls and the ceilings to match the night sky
Make it rain for days at a time
Then erase all the clouds and draw the sun to come out
Don't go changing yourself
Don't deny all the things that define you
Don't give up on this dream
Now that it's here
Liive serene, live with confidence
Let's throw out the desicions that drive one insane
Let's make a promise, I promise honesty
Honestly
But don't take my word, stick around
And we'll dance to the sounds of sincere
And I'll still be here
Let's paint the walls and the ceilings
To match the night sky
Let's make it rain, oh, for days at a time
And then erase all the clouds and draw the sun to come out
'Cause this room is our canvas
Our minds are the brushes
To paint our escape from this place
We can make our own fate
We can stay here all day
And stare up at the sky untill the end of time...

Here I am
Otherwise and elsewhere
Here you stand
Everywhere around me
Your sense is so astounding
We can talk without saying one word
And to fight back the urge would just be plain absurd
We can talk in the dark with our hands
Sign language never sounded so grand
Welcome to the shift in my imagination
It's changed the course, it's changed the source
Now I am climbing the sky through the clouds
Touching the stars and hearing all the sounds
If you can't see the reflection
If you can't see with those eyes
I will provide the concentration
To break your sweet inebriation
We can talk without saying one word
And to fight back the urge would just be plain absurd
We can talk in the dark with our hands
Sign language never sounded so grand
Welcome to the shift in my imagination
It's changed the course, it's changed the source
Now I am climbing the sky through the clouds
Touching the stars and hearing all the sounds
I've now forgotten the color of her eyes
And I am reminded of the beauty of this life
You could run in so many circles around what she thought that she was
But would never, ever become
I've forgotten the color of her eyes
And I am reminded of the beauty of this life
Of this life
I have forgotten the color of her eyes
And I am reminded of the beauty of this life
You could run circles, whoa, around what she thought that she was
She could never become
Welcome to the shift in my imagination
It's changed the course, it's changed the source
Now I am climbing the sky through the clouds
Touching the stars and hearing all the sounds
Welcome to the shift in my imagination
It's changed the course, it's changed the source
Now I am climbing the sky through the clouds
Touching every star and breathing in the sounds

Come one, come all
This century only
Havoc Avenue's very own
Cirque De L`ètrange...
I'll carve my heart out of my chest
And offer it to you
Only the best
And I'll rip my lungs out at the seam
And give you them to breath
You need it more than me
I've got front row tickets to the freak show, peep show
Come on, we can check it, we can wreck it
Watch the creeps go storming Havoc Avenue
They'll have it, then they'll have their way with you
I've got front row tickets to the freak show, peep show
Come on, we can check it, we can wreck it
Watch the creeps go
We can watch 'em go
Cause I'm craving conflict like a dog craves his bone
I've got to have it like nobody knows
And I'm wanting results like a wolf wants his sheep
This is a secret that I can keep no more
I've got to piece the puzzle perfectly
Paint the picture, so I see
Trapped in ideology, your skin is far too thin for me, my dear
Oh dear
I've got this concept dream sketch caught in my mind
Where the whole wide world is tryin' to find the minds
That they have lost
I've got front row tickets to the freak show, peep show
Come on, we can check it, we can wreck it
Watch the creeps go storming Havoc Avenue
They'll have it, then they'll have their way with you
I've got front row tickets to the freak show, peep show
Come on, we can check it, we can wreck it
Watch the creeps go
We can watch 'em go
Cause I'm craving conflict like a dog craves his bone
I've got to have it like nobody knows
And I'm wanting results like a wolf wants his sheep
This is a secret that I can keep no more
Yesterday upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh how I wish he'd go away
When I came home last night at three that man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall, he wasn't really there at all
Go away, go away, don't you come back no more
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door
Go away, go away, don't you come back no more
Go away, go away, but please don't slam the door
Please don't slam the door
Please don't slam the door
Oh, please don't slam the door

Listening to the rhythms of the street
I am sitting on this balcony talking to me
I feel the heartbeat; I hear the concrete scream,
"Let me free"
As the wind picks up, tempo is rising
Cars moving faster with this perfect, perfect timing
Why can't you provide us with the combination
To the lock on the box in the back of our mind where we find what we hide?
Can you hear me, I am screaming at the top of my lungs?
The top of my lungs
Frightening are the things that I see these people do
When they think no one's watching
Someone is always watching
As their pulse picks up, tempo is rising
Hearts beating faster with this perfect silver lining
Why can't you provide us with the combination
To the lock on the box in the back of our mind where we find what we hide?
Can you hear me, I am screaming at the top of my lungs?
The top of my lungs
You'd better stock up this world is coming to an end
You'd better stock up before it's too late to make amends
You'd better stock up this world is going to end
You'd better stock up, he's gonna take his sweet revenge
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Why can't you provide us with the combination
To the lock on the box in the back of our minds where we hide what we find?
Can you hear me, I am screaming at the top of my lungs?
At the top of my lungs

If I could travel through time
I'd float through the continuum
To the day you felt most alive
Alive, I'd try and catch your eyes
But they would be evasive and I would want to die
Divide and watch my world collide
Align and we can watch it multiply
I pray the day will come when two can become one
But until then I will lay awake, keeping my feelings off the display
My ghosts don't haunt me when you are around
I'm lost and found, three cheers for now
Raise your glass, let's have a toast
And sing for this moment in time
Where I can feel something that's real
And store it inside of my mind
My mind
If I could travel through space
I'd fly up to your doorstep
When you are at your weakest moment
And I would
Dry your tears and warm your heart
Then we could be together, you and I
With our souls in line
Supply and I'll demand the time
Inscribe with trust and you will find that
I can do anything, honestly
Just trust me
I can see that this will be sublime
My ghosts don't haunt me when you are around
I'm lost and found, three cheers for now
Raise your glass, let's have a toast
And sing for this moment in time
Where I can feel something that's real
And store it inside of my mind
Through the flux of space and time
I will enjoy this life despite the empty odds of our father's broken crimes
And you and I will intertwine
Interlock our fates, my saving grace
We'll ignite the spark to set this world on fire
And through the flux of space and time
We will enjoy our lives despite the empty odds of our father's broken crimes
And you and I will intertwine
Interlock our fates, my saving grace
We'll ignite the spark to set this world on fire
Raise your glass, let's have a toast
And sing for this moment in time
Everyone will feel something that's so sincere and
Store it inside of their minds
Their minds

I recorded this album in three days over the course of seven months. I started the process a month or so into my freshman year of college and finished it the last week before that summer. Originally, this cd was going to be all about death and sad stuff and all that nonsense. Since the recording process took so long, I ended up changing my mind, as well as the overlying themes of the EP, to more hopeful ones. I hope that it's just what you need because I know it's what I needed. A special thanks to a friend of mine who reminded me that the pleasant parts of this cd are the most important. There are lots of new things to come, so look for me on facebook (
