Loaded Gun

There’s a monster in my head
That says I am a mess
I’m far from being repaired
And I’m still fading
There’s an echo in my mind
A lie as a disguise
Even though I try
I’m still breaking
You say that I should talk to somebody
But what do they know about my broken heart
Promise to hold me when the lights go out
I’m still fading
And every tear is another lost round
Show me the way to fixing myself
I’m still breaking
I’m sorry for the things I have done
I’m sorry I’m a loaded gun
I need to stand on my own feet
Forget the comfort of your arms
Just as we are complete
You’re gone
You say that I should talk to somebody
But what do they know about my broken heart
Promise to hold me when the lights go out
I’m still fading
And every tear is another lost round
Show me the way to fixing myself
I’m still breaking
I’m sorry for the things I have done
I’m sorry I’m a loaded gun
I’m sorry I’m a loaded gun
You think I’m flying but I’m drowning, and my tears don’t drain the pain
You think I’m flying but I’m drowning hold me now
You think I’m flying but I’m drowning, and my tears don’t drain the pain
You think I’m flying but I’m drowning hold me now
Promise to hold me when the lights go out
I’m still fading
And every tear is another lost round
Show me the way to fixing myself
I’m still breaking
I’m sorry for the things I have done
I’m sorry I’m a loaded gun
I’m sorry I’m a loaded gun

Shattered Soldier

Maybe all that glitters ain’t gold
Maybe this flame’s too hot for us to hold
You wanted me to promise a lifetime
But all that I needed was some time
Then you took it all
And it shatters me
Like a thousand soldiers
Standing on my hands
When I was trying to hold you
And it feels like
You’ve taken the air from my lungs
Told me to speak but cut my tongue
And it’s hard to breathe when you’re hurt by the one that you love
You told me I’m the only one
I turn around I’m facing your gun
But you tell me to hold on
To hold on
You left me to dry in the cold
After all the hero stories that you told
You wanted me to lay my life out
Like a book for you to read
Then you tore it all
And it shatters me
Like a thousand soldiers
Standing on my hands
When I was trying to hold you
And it feels like
You’ve taken the air from my lungs
Told me to speak but cut my tongue
And it’s hard to breathe when you’re hurt by the one that you love
You told me I’m the only one
I turn around I’m facing your gun
But you tell me to hold on
To hold on
And it shatters me
Like a thousand soldiers
Standing on my hands
When I was trying to hold you
And it feels like
You’ve taken the air from my lungs
Told me to speak but cut my tongue
And it’s hard to breathe when you’re hurt by the one that you love
You told me I’m the only one
I turn around I’m facing your gun
But you tell me to hold on
To hold on

The Gift

A little far from home
A little out of my comfort zone
A little bit all alone
I saw you standing there on your own
I didn’t have the guts to come over
I wanted to say
The way the lights light up your eyes
You’ll never know
I loved you at hello
So, I gave you the gift of not knowing me
My heart is a house not a home
You don’t want to see
A thousand smiles
With a thousand lies
I’d take the spark but leave the fire behind
I’m wondering who you are
I’m running around this ghost town
I want to know about all your scars
But I close my eyes and you’re gone now
I wanted to say
The way the lights light up your eyes
You’ll never know
I loved you at hello
So, I gave you the gift of not knowing me
My heart is a house not a home
You don’t want to see
A thousand smiles
With a thousand lies
I’d take the spark but leave the fire behind
The devil on my shoulder is still holding on
He won’t let me hold her and he won’t let me go
Now I’m leaving with my hands on my head
You can keep the part of my heart that I have left
You’ll never see
Just how I set you free
So, I gave you the gift of not knowing me
My heart is a house not a home
You don’t want to see
A thousand smiles
With a thousand lies
I’d take the spark but leave the fire behind

Carnival

I’m a grown man with the heart of a child
The things you say kill me inside
You know that I know that you’re leaving
I got pain you can see it in my mother’s eyes
Don’t look at mine they’re just a disguise
You know that I know that you’re leaving
But I want to know
Will you stay, or will you go
I need to know I’m not only an echo
When my head feels like a carnival
And the world is spinning too slow
I ask myself what I’m still doing here
Cause I’m the mess that you made
My heart is like an animal
Always tame and always out of control
I’m always out of control, out of control
I’ve lost control
And you say
Another day another life
Things would be better if you were by my side
But you’re gone and now I’m dancing with your ghost
And you say
Another life another day
You say it’s okay as you walk away
But all I wanted was to hold you close
But I want to know
Will you stay, or will you go
I need to know I’m not only an echo
When my head feels like a carnival
And the world is spinning too slow
I ask myself what I’m still doing here
Cause I’m the mess that you made
My heart is like an animal
Always tame and always out of control
I’m always out of control, out of control
I’ve lost control
When my head feels like a carnival
And the world is spinning too slow
I ask myself what I’m still doing here
Cause I’m the mess that you made
My heart is like an animal
Always tame and always out of control
I’m always out of control, out of control
I’ve lost control

Still On Fire

Who the hell has been feeding my demons
They’re stronger than me now
And I can’t live under your silence
Are we on the same channel
It feels like I’m losing you
There’s a whole in my heart
And I’m see through
The clock seems to stop
Whenever you’re around
Hold my hand, hold my hand
Oh hold me now
Tell me we’re still on fire
Tell me there’s another world for me and you
Tell me this ain’t desire and you are not who I’m gonna lose
You say there’s a light at the end of the line
And I’m trying to find it
And you say there’s a love stronger than wine
The clock seems to stop
Whenever you’re around
Hold my hand, hold my hand
Oh hold me now
Tell me we’re still on fire
Tell me there’s another world for me and you
Tell me this ain’t desire and you are not who I’m gonna lose
Tell me this ain’t love for hire
Tell me that this is not gonna leave a bruise
Tell me you’ll take me higher and I
Will always be who you choose
And my demons have made a home
In the middle of my broken soul
Tell me which way I need to go
I just want to find my way home
Tell me we’re still on fire
Tell me there’s another world for me and you
Tell me this ain’t desire and you are not who I’m gonna lose
Tell me this ain’t love for hire
Tell me that this is not gonna leave a bruise
Tell me you’ll take me higher and I
Will always be who you choose

Only An Echo
03:46

A beautiful stranger
You walk like art
You look like an angel
That knows how to break my heart
Now I’m falling apart
In pieces, in your arms
My heart was in danger
I knew it from the start
In love with a stranger
That knows how to tear my scars
Now I’m falling apart
In pieces, in your arms
Lose the candles, lose the lights
We’ll share the stars
Now I’m only an echo
A shadow in your heart
You give me all the pieces
Then you help me fall apart
And this river just won’t flow
It’s hard to sail in the dark
Throw me a lifeline
I’m searching but not finding your heart
Sometimes it feels like I’m dreaming
And you still live in my heart
I wake up you’re leaving
And I’m scared of the dark
Now I’m falling apart
In pieces, in your arms
Lose the candles, lose the lights
We’ll share the stars
Now I’m only an echo
A shadow in your heart
You give me all the pieces
Then you help me fall apart
And this river just won’t flow
It’s hard to sail in the dark
Throw me a lifeline
I’m searching but not finding your heart
Now I’m only an echo
I’m only an echo
I’m only an echo
I’m only an echo
