(Lyrics by Eric Peixoto Music by Ithomiid) What I once had, now has gone bad The expiration date, I checked it too late I tried to renew, did all I could do But they’ve all gone away Saying “I’ll see you another day” All my friends are gone, they tell me To “Go and find more” They don’t know you like I do They don’t know you like I do I’m worried you’ll remember me only as That one kid who used to make you laugh They don’t know me like you do They don’t know me like you do The replacements have come, the forgetting has begun The nights we used to see are gone, we now fall asleep Never will I see through those young eyes Just never show me Just never show me (what we were) All my friends are gone, they tell me To “Go and find more” They don’t know you like I do They don’t know you like I do I’m worried you’ll remember me only as That one kid who used to make you laugh They don’t know me like you do They don’t know me like you do I have attachment issues One minute, and I’ll miss you Tied to locations and phases In the past is where your face is All my friends are gone, they tell me To “Go and find more” They don’t know you like I do They don’t know you like I do I’m worried you’ll remember me only as That one kid who used to make you laugh They don’t know me like you do They don’t know me like you do All my friends are gone, they tell me To “Go and find more” They don’t know you like I do They don’t know you like They don’t know you like I do and they never will I’m worried you’ll remember me only as That one kid who used to make you laugh They don’t know me like you do They don’t know me like you do

(Lyrics by Eric Peixoto Music by Ithomiid) My heart is not so clean After dying in my dreams My knees are bruised and sore From bowing down for so long for this queen This ground is just a screen A barricade made by the machine It changes colors to distract us From hell and the dirt that’s in between Think of me for a minute, and then forget me for a day Tell me you want us to stay close Then yell at me to go away Lie as you look into the eyes of your angel Why do these winds always push you back to the sea? Cry to put out the flame of this ascending candle Die instead of bowing down and saying that you agree I’ve never been hurt this much You’ve never made me feel like I’m not enough Well I guess there’s a first time for everything Woah oh I guess forever is just temporary You never look back on our good memories Then why did we even bother to make them? Woah oh Love me for a minute, and then hate me for a day Tell me you want us to stay close Then tell me your love is going away Oh no Lie as you look into the eyes of your angel Why do these winds always push you back to the sea? Cry to put out the flame of this ascending candle Die instead of bowing down and saying that you agree You’ve shown me that I’m replaceable And I’ve learned your love was not durable I can’t believe that you put me on hold So he can bid until you’re sold Now I’m stuck here alone hating myself Lie as you look into the eyes of your angel Why do these winds always push you back to the sea? Cry to put out the flame of this ascending candle Die instead of bowing down and saying that you agree Things will never be the same, look at what we’ve done I’m lying here dead while you’re there having fun I cry for the time, for the time that had to end It’s now my turn to break some promises

Iodine 04:16
(Lyrics by Eric Peixoto Music by Ithomiid) My veins filled with iodine started to leak out The blood test didn’t clear my doubts Now I’m left here with more questions As they try to find corrections Why was I made like this? The dripping lead to blood deficit I walk faster than I run But I’m still so far behind everyone White lies painted in a special shade Because everything deserves it’s own color I trap myself in shapes that haven’t been made I dream in colors that have yet to be discovered Give me a test with only right answers, and I’ll still disappoint and fail The skin that covers my bones is as weak as it is pale Never again, never again, never again Will we be like that On my brain is a chain that drains My motivation to attach The sky tried to produce rain, but could only cry hail The flowers waiting to greet water were all impaled My veins flooded with iodine have dried out A full throttle body drought Now I stand before this waterfall To cleanse myself of this animal Waves toss my body back and forth My corpse imprint now stains the shore

(Lyrics by Eric Peixoto Music by Ithomiid) I’d swim but I’m so bitter that I’d kill all the life in this water I’d win but I’m a quitter so I know I won’t go any farther I need a lending hand but I’m a loser so don’t bother I don’t define these words, they define me I’m your least favorite author All these things about me are true But I’ll always be worth more than you Welcome to being my last choice You yell loud but your questions go unanswered To me you don’t have a voice Just a pathetic sound that begs to be heard So run until you reach the sea And don’t return until you have learned How to make your heart beat Because right now it’s dead and frozen cold So run until you reach the sea This hate you have grown Did not appear suddenly It’s only now being shown But it’s always been inside of me I hope you know You make me want to go far away from here Now you’ll only catch my eyes If by surprise Welcome to being my last choice You yell loud but your questions go unanswered To me you don’t have a voice Just a pathetic sound that begs to be heard So run until you reach the sea And don’t return until you have learned How to make your heart beat Because right now it’s dead and frozen cold So run until you reach the sea I heard secondhand that you got there And all the mermaids couldn’t find a reason to care Where your heart should be they found an empty space They tried to put good in you, but it proved to be too late So you ran and you reached the sea And now you have the nerve to come and return Without a heartbeat The disappointment you cause I don’t deserve So now stay far away from me

(Lyrics by Eric Peixoto Music by Ithomiid) You make my eyes see vividly You’ve shown me things I’ve never seen before From every angle, you shine brilliantly There are no more treasures to unearth Cause I have you for myself When my secrets start to gather worth Only you I’ll tell You’re in all of my future memories (Without you, I’m just a lost fragment) A voice has never been so healing (I’d rather feel pain than your absence) Inside my war-ridden heart, you bring peace (Without you, I’m just a lost fragment) A voice has never been so, revealing (I’d rather feel pain than your absence) Sometimes I get lost in the symmetry Of our heart’s imagery It’s the way it’s supposed to be For just you and me And I don’t have to cry Cause you’re always nearby There are no more treasures to unearth Cause I have you for myself When my secrets start to gather worth Only you I’ll tell You’re in all of my future memories (Without you, I’m just a lost fragment) A voice has never been so healing (I’d rather feel pain than your absence) Inside my war ridden heart, you bring peace (Without you, I’m just a lost fragment) A voice has never been I know these feelings are not wrong And for the first time, I feel like I belong Although these muscles of mine aren’t too strong This heart of yours I’ll protect, all life long

(Lyrics by Eric Peixoto Music by Ithomiid) There once was a boy who was so lost, he might as well lived in the woods Where he should He wished on the stars and moon and time, if he hoped hard enough he knew he could He thought it would We can’t question his reasoning and we’ll Never understand what he was feeling Sadly, the only thing we know is how he died: Buried in his philosophy “You can talk to me” The jealously tormenting him, pale white evolved into various shades on pain Nothing to gain Mystic snowflake chandeliers dangling in his mind, fearing what’s to tame It’s not the same We can’t question his reasoning and we’ll Never understand what he was feeling Sadly, the only thing we know is how he died: Buried in his philosophy “You can talk to me” that’s what he’d tell her But she just threw him the cellar to die And that’s where he was found That’s where he was later found dead In the cellar, choking on her philosophy It was all in vain We can’t question his reasoning and we’ll Never understand what he was feeling Sadly, the only thing we know is how he died: Buried in his philosophy Buried in his philosophy Choking on her philosophy Buried in his philosophy

(Lyrics by Eric Peixoto Music by Ithomiid) The war has started, there’s no turning back now Don’t ask questions, just put your hands out Your opinions don’t matter anymore Follow our commands or you’ll be ignored The war has started, there’s no turning back now I hope one day I’ll find out I don’t know when but I do know how It’s a matter of when and why It just takes time But when the struggle gets the best of you Just breathe and concentrate, wait for your cue Society waits to bring down those who rebel They tell them “think and act like us or you’re going to hell” All of your decisions are monitored If you dare think twice, you won’t be honored The war has started, there’s no turning back now I hope one day I’ll find out I don’t know when but I do know how It’s a matter of when and why It just takes time But when the struggle gets the best of you Just breathe and concentrate, wait for your cue The war has started, there’s no turning back now Don’t ask questions, just put your hands out Your opinions don’t matter anymore Follow our commands or you’ll be ignored The war has started, there’s no turning back now I hope one day I’ll find out I don’t know when but I do know how It’s a matter of when and why It just takes time But when the struggle gets the best of you Just breathe and concentrate, wait for your cue And I hope one day you’ll find out I hope you’ll see what it’s like How would you react if I was gone? Would you care? Or would you say “goodbye you moron”? And after it sinks in, you’ll know what it’s like to lose and never win This heart, although it can beat fast, it never won the race it always came in last I hope one day we’ll all find out

(Lyrics by Eric Peixoto Music by Ithomiid) This eraser isn’t big enough I’ve signed my name, but the lines are jagged and rough And now the ink is dry, it’s bled though and I couldn’t tell you why I guess I’ll bring this up when I’m in therapy Cause talking makes me happy I don’t know to what extent my muscles could do I just know that it’s not enough to prove The little difference between lies and truth There’s never a line, so you’ll always have a good view Of the show Where I’ll play anything but me No one listens to me so I’ll just become someone else I play the role Of someone that people love to see Maybe if I try hard enough it’ll rub off on myself He’s a hero only To the few who think they represent everyone I could find better ways to waste my time and state of mind Like being busy trying to sell tickets To the show Where I’ll play anything but me No one likes me so I’ll just become someone else I play the role Of someone that people want to be Maybe if I try hard enough it’ll rub off on myself Welcome to the show Where I’ll play anything but me No one loves me so I’ll just become someone else I play the role Of someone that people yearn to beat Maybe if I try hard enough it’ll rub off on myself And give you a better life

King's Reign 04:57
(Lyrics by Eric Peixoto Music by Ithomiid) Take a picture of my empire before it falls apart My power is something you’ll remember My laws and strategies will be revered as “political art” Textbooks will give a chapter to me While my statues rot and decay Generations will live in fear of this king’s hate “Kill them all” says this king The knights carry them out, but still they’re plotting This conspiracy may take years but it’ll all mean something Align the poison in his crown His symbol of power is what will bring him down This conspiracy may take years but it’ll all mean something “It’s come to my attention that there’s a traitor in our presence Come forth and reveal yourself to me” A lone man stood up and said: “You’re corrupt and I wish you were dead!” I spat and pointed at him with my staff As my knights beheaded him, I started to laugh And his death sounded like this While my statues rot and decay Generations will live in fear of this king’s hate “Kill them all” says this king The knights carry them out, but still they’re plotting This conspiracy may take years but it’ll all mean something Align the poison in his crown His symbol of power is what will bring him down This conspiracy may take years but it’ll all mean something My sword is still in the stone I’ve never felt this alone The cracks inside my shield Make the pain feel too real “Kill them all” says this king The knight’s carry them out, but still they’re plotting This conspiracy may take years but it’ll all mean something “Kill this man” said his queen He killed her first, and now she is rotting This conspiracy, it took years and it was all for nothing I’m looking hard but there’s nothing to see (It’s all I see) I’m inhaling deep but there’s nothing to breathe (There’s nothing in me) I’m hearing all the lies but still trying to believe (I can’t agree) I’m headed to the door with no intentions to leave (There’s nothing here for me)

(Lyrics by Eric Peixoto Music by Ithomiid) It goes by fast in my memoires, but it actually went slow We stood by close but always gave each other enough room to learn and grow And there are certain steps we like to retrace All the way to the finish line We ran so hard until the chase led us up into the sky And we rested on a cloud Held each other as we looked down at the crowd You’re the reason they make them sign waivers I’m the reason that you have to wait We’re the reason there’s something special about that day I don’t have my plan figured out But you’ll always be the center of my life I will love you for all time I always make the same mistakes, even when you tell me not to But I will always try Certain qualities that can’t be replaced; I’ve never loved anyone but you I’m forever your ally And we fell down from that cloud Dodged the rain as we headed toward the ground You’re the reason they make them sign waivers I’m the reason that you have to wait We’re the reason there’s something special about that day I don’t have my plan figured out But you’ll always be the center of my life I will love you for all time But I will always try I’m forever your ally Go I always wanted it to be this way I know experience comes with age I will give you the world once I know how You’re the reason they make them sign waivers I’m the reason that you have to wait We’re the reason there’s something special about that day I don’t have my plan figured out But you’ll always be the center of my life I will love you for all time

(Lyrics by Eric and Kevin Peixoto Music by Ithomiid) You scared me half to death It became clear to me that I am not worth your breath Sleepless, I laid in sweat I hope you know that I wish we had never met Go ahead and call me selfish But I’m just saying that I have nothing to say All this information is old news You’re gonna be neglected the same exact way that I was I no longer want to be around you I know where you’ve been I know where you hide, and I know where you’ve been I know where you’ve been I know where you hide, and I know where you’ve been I was scaring you to death Your life is now mine as I hold your final breath Breathless, you’re struggling And I’ll make sure the world will never know a thing Go ahead and call me a monster But I know that you’ve thrown your life away All this information is old news You’re gonna be affected the same exact way that I was The world will no longer know the sight of you You know where I’ve been You know where I hide, and you know where I’ve been You know where I’ve been You know where I hide, and you know where I’ve been Come here and give it to me Come here and set me straight The guilt is taking over, It’s taking over you Come here and give it to me They know where we’ve been They know where we hide, and they know where we’ve been They know where we’ve been They know where we hide, and they know where we’ve been Come here and give it to me Come here and set me straight The guilt is taking over It’s taking over you
