Track Name: Beginning of the End
Set down your stones
Leave them alone
Silence your thoughts
And get yourself lost
Hang up your coat
Don’t run for the road
Sit yourself here
And hold me near, near, near, near, near…

For once the clock strikes ten
And the night goes dim
You’ll call my name
I’ll call your name
We are the same

It’s the beginning of the end, my friend
The beginning
The beginning of the end, my friend
The beginning

Write it on the wall
I’m too afraid to fall
Once was enough
I’ve lost my luck to the rust

It’s the beginning of the end, my friend
The beginning
The beginning of the end, my friend
The beginning

I’m sorry that the chance I should have given you was stolen by the bees
I was hopeless, for they stung me ‘til I fell to my knees
And I know you should know that we, yeah we, have got a long way to go

I’m sorry that the chance I should have given you was stolen by the bees
I was hopeless, for they stung me ‘til I fell to my knees
And I know you should know that we, yeah we, have got a long way to go

It’s the beginning of the end
The beginning
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end, my friend
Track Name: Advice of an Amateur
Emotional epiphanies
They often, they often, they often
Bring people to their knees

Oh, emotional epiphanies
They don’t often, don’t often, don’t often
Come in good company

So if you hear those words
Carrying slight concern
Be prepared for the worst
But don’t run

Emotional epiphanies
They often, they often, they often
Come as they please, unexpectedly

Oh, emotional epiphanies
They don’t often, don’t often, don’t often
Come at you with ease

So if you hear those words
Carrying slight concern
Be prepared for the worst
But don’t run
Because the advice of an amateur
Although I don’t know what it’s worth
Will be by your side
So don’t run

The advice of an amateur
I don’t know what it’s worth

Emotional epiphanies
They have their own
Idiosyncrasies

So if you hear those words
Carrying slight concern
Be prepared for the worst
But don’t run
Don’t run
Don’t run
Don’t run
Don’t run
Track Name: Carnival Love
It all began with the rush of the water
You’re screaming, you’re screaming, “I’m first for the slaughter”
And there I am on platform of laughter
Not knowing, not knowing
It would soon be a disaster

Blind-sided by your mind games
And now all I’m left with is the pain

The walls breathe in and the mirrors are speaking
They’re hoping, they’re hoping they’ll wake you from sleeping
And once the core of your body’s been struck you will realize
Oh realize
You’re out of luck

Blind-sided by your mind games
And now all I’m left with is the pain
The pain

Don’t look to above
It’s carnival love
The answer’s not there
I swear

Don’t look to above
It’s carnival love

Don’t look to above
It’s carnival love
The answer’s not there
I swear

Don’t look to above
It’s carnival
It’s carnival
It’s carnival
It’s carnival
It’s carnival love
Track Name: Falling Apart
I’m falling apart again
I’m falling
I’m falling apart again
I’m falling
Apart

My days are numbered
As I wait for summer
To lay on the warm of the concrete
In silence
And watch you dissect me

I’m falling apart again
I’m falling
I’m falling apart again
I’m falling
Apart

You walked upon me
With nails on the bottoms of your feet
Drilled holes in bones of my body
I’m holy
And you won’t forget me

For I’m calling your bluff because I’ve had enough
You’re sick in the head and you’ve lost all you love
And I’m sick of your shit

The prints of your pain are engraved in your brain
You created a world that then went up in flames

For I’m calling your bluff because I’ve had enough
You’re sick in the head and you’ve lost all you love
And I’m sick of your shit
I’m tired of it

The prints of your pain are engraved in your brain
You created a world that then went up in flames

We swallowed our words, but it wasn’t enough
For the thoughtless slurs filled the bottle back up
You might taste it on your tongue
You might breathe it in through your lungs
But you’re still falling apart again
We’re all falling apart again
We’re all falling apart again
We’re just falling apart
Track Name: It's Not the Time
My dear, right now is not the time
Sit back, relax, and you’ll be fine
It’s the worrying that’s got you all tied up
And with me, you’re just pushing your luck
Pushing your luck

Now you can make your choice tonight
But if you don’t, you’ll be alright
The stars scream down and lift your eyes
Telling you it’s not the time
Right now, the end is near
I could taste, I could taste it
In your last tear
It’s not as difficult as you’re making it out to be
You just painted a picture you didn’t want to see
Didn’t want to see

Now you can make your choice tonight
But if you don’t, you’ll be alright
The stars scream down and lift your eyes
Telling you it’s not the time

Now you can make your choice tonight
But if you don’t, you’ll be alright
The stars scream down and lift your eyes
Telling you it’s not the time
Track Name: Saga of the Scars
When the sun breathes
Its luminous rays out to me
They carry a thought
To help me get lost
But then interrupts
The saga of the scars
When the moons
Eyes find the path to mine
And decrease the dark
They show me the marks
That were once made
In the saga of the scars

And it’s hard
Knowing that they won’t fade away
That they’re locked into my memory
And promise that they’ll never leave

Oh, the saga of the scars
Oh, it’s written in the stars
And no matter where you are
The story’s never far

When your words are freed
And transferred through me
I know you can’t see
But they have driven quite deep
In hope to be remind me
Of the saga of the scars

And it’s hard
Knowing that they won’t fade away
That they’re locked into my memory
And promise that they’ll never leave

Oh, the saga of the scars
Oh, it’s written in the stars
And no matter where you are
The story’s never far
Track Name: Bottom of a Bottle
This song was at the bottom of a bottle
I found broken at Cavallo
With her name carved in the cap

The shards of glass pointed to the sky
With a note that read
See you on the other side

And she’ll see you on the other side
But she needs you by her side tonight
Tonight

The voices overwhelmed me with their sounds
And brought me to her unconscious
Laying on the ground

Poison dripping out of every pore
But her heart still beating
Begging for some more

But the pain was too much for me to bear
To find her and see her lying there

Dear precious one
Your stitching’s come undone
But all you need’s some mending
Dear precious one
The day has just begun
Keep your mouth dry
‘Til the sun sets for the night
The night

We laid you down on a broken bed
As white figures
Claimed to clear your head

You were turned into a canvas for the world
And with black ink
They covered you my girl

You had no say in where you headed next
But hoped it’d be better than the rest

Dear precious one
Your stitching’s come undone
But all you need’s some mending
Dear precious one
The day has just begun
Keep your mouth dry
‘Til the sun sets for the night
The night

Stripped of all you’ve ever known
And lost in a garden
Overgrown
We’ll build you back from the ground up
With a stack of bricks
I brought for you my love
