STORIES

When all the fear consumes my mind
Searching for the answers I can't find
In fables or fairy tales
From my echo chambered life
Then another story comes
To hide behind
Oh, the rumors are calling
They tug at my heart and
My tongue is alive
With the fire
So let the story die, let it go
Life's just fine being out of the know
Yeah, the truth we hide and tell the lies
So go on write it on a piece of stone
And let the story die
With all my bias amplified
Cutting down the facts
I push aside
When conspiracy tries to tempt me
With distractions glorified
And occam leaves my heart
Dissatisfied
Oh, but I can find freedom
That's found within reason
When I finally open my mind
And let the story die, let it go
Life's just fine being out of the know
Yeah, the truth we hide and tell the lies
So go on write it on a piece of stone
And say goodbye and testify
To all the nonsense that I've overblown
And let the story die
Let it go, let it go
Yeah, let the story die
Let it go, let it go
Let the story die, let it go
Life's just fine being out of the know
The truth we hide and tell the lies
So go on write it on a piece of stone
And let the story die, let it go
Life's just fine being out of the know
Yeah, the truth we hide and tell the lies
So go on write it on a piece of stone
And say goodbye and testify
To all the nonsense that I've overblown
And let the story die
Let it go, let it go
Yeah, let the story die
Let it go, let it go
Yeah, let the story die
Let it go, let it go
Yeah, Yeah
Let it go, let it die
Let it go, let it go

Pretty Things
03:10

It’s the pretty things that try to
Steal my heart, they try to
Lead me astray like a
Spark in the dark
But when the spark fades
Where else will I start?
‘Cuz all these pretty things
Will fall apart
It’s the pretty things that always
Drive me mad
They try to pull at the fray
And unravel in the wrath
But when the fringes settle
In this aftermath
All my pretty things
Will leave me sad
Temporary pleasure
From the things that
Cause me pain
Searching for an anchor
To hold my heart at bay
Screaming at the distance
And shouting at the rain
‘Cuz I’ve been chasing echos
Of a song I never sang
'Cuz these
Pretty things are just
Memories and they
Reflect the beauty that my
Heart longs to see
When the day is done
And the sun sets on me
These pretty things
Aren’t what set me free
They’re just the echos of nostalgia,
News from a foreign land,
The longing of discontentment
For peace I’ve never had
They’re just
Temporary pleasure
From the things that
Cause me pain
Searching for an anchor
To hold my heart at bay
I’m screaming at the distance
And trying to restart
‘Cuz all my pretty things
Will fall apart
All my pretty things
Will fall apart
