1.	Stunlocked 02:43	lyrics	buy track
Drained and exhausted, I've got nothing left to ignite There is no end in sight Struggle just to stay upright Count down the hours in a day Spend the moments trying just to get away Things just stay the same Fuck the restless nights and endless days Stunlocked fighting just to get away How you never have the time for the things you used to like Stunlocked fighting just to get away Stunlocked fighting just to get away Stunlocked fighting just to get away How you never have the time for the things you used to like Scene's moving past you There are no photos in the frame its a twisted game, feel like I'm going insane Project a self upon the screen, Another version of your face make them believe That theres something more to see Fuck the restless nights and endless days Stunlocked fighting just to get away How you never have the time for the things you used to like Stunlocked fighting just to get away Stunlocked fighting just to get away Stunlocked fighting just to get away How you never have the time for the things you used to like 1-800-Meaningless Fuck the restless nights and endless days Stunlocked fighting just to get away How you never have the time for the things you used to like Stunlocked fighting just to get away Stunlocked fighting just to get away Stunlocked fighting just to get away How you never have the time for the things you used to like
2.	Takeover 03:02	lyrics	buy track
I can't recall what I've lost Been searching for so long Blinded by the fog Won't you come and Pull me underneath your waves I want to be Entangled, wrapped up in your wake Envelop me Take over for me I'm losing control Can't keep on floating I'm letting go How did it all happen so fast, No voluntary moments pass you by And now you've left it all behind and Nothing's come to numb your sense of time Take over for me I'm losing control Can't keep on floating I'm letting go Take me where you go Take me where you go
3.	Unraveling 02:23	lyrics	buy track
No one's coming to save us from this cold and empty world Nobody's left to see the unravelling We're recklessly abandoned by those who have too much Burning it all to dust, too late to adjust Would it be best to decompress? I'm nothing if not a mess I got nervous for the rest Would it be now or never then? Cuz I think I'm already spent Another thought about the end No one's coming to save us from this cold and empty world Nobody's left to see the unravelling We're recklessly abandoned by those who have too much Burning it all to dust, too late to adjust Does it really matter? When all the glass is shattered? Alone at ease Just breathe Does it even matter? When all the glass is shattered? Alone, at ease, at ease
4.	Feel Human 03:39	lyrics	buy track
Driving alone on a dark road Exhausted and she needs to get home Into a bed, where she can rest just enough to do it again There's no slowing down as she's wondering how it all got behind her There's no time for that now, watching lines on the ground Fade in the mirror Wasn't it real How did it feel Couldn't differentiate the dream Another vice Wasting time Trying to let something inside again She tries to distract from her collapse, songs that she used to enjoy Provide no belay, the music's in vain Mind starts to wander away There's no stopping now, a pain once so loud Fades to the background All that's left from the dreams is a tired so deep She can't let herself see Wasn't it real How did it feel Couldn't differentiate the dream Another vice Wasting time Trying to let something inside again Her hands let go of the wheel It wasn't only a lapse Fractures too subtle to feel Became unbearable cracks Ribbons of steel in the air Shimmer in a fog of glass The road still lit by the glare Her head resting on the dash Take it all, take it all, take it all away I don't wanna live like this Let it all, let it all, let it all decay I'm not convinced that there's more beyond the ruin That there's an ending to this night I just wanna feel human I just wanna feel something in this life I just wanna feel human I just wanna feel human I just wanna feel human Again
