No end in sight
Wow, how you still try
How can you be so clueless, oh, so wrong?
How can you be so sure when everything around you just crumbles down?
Your circus lost its clowns
The rumour's making the rounds
Why do you drive yourself into the ground?
I never thought this side of you would come to life
It wasn't a long time ago we were on the same side
You like to run things, be in control
But who will take the helm when all
The crew around you is long gone and the ship's caught in the storm
The truth's no match for your ego
I'll just keep quiet, I learned from
The best, remember?
How do you hold on to all of your secrets?
How can you be so blind?
Just look at yourself
You could have everything
Everything
But instead you let it all come crashing down

Unrequited, I'm torn and blessed
Unrequited, you made me feel blessed
I've been up all night tryin' to start a fire, pleading left and right once more to be blessed
You made me feel blessed
Unrequited I beg to be blessed
I require it to be at rest
I've been up all night, waiting for daylight
"It'll be alright", that's what I tell myself
I beg to be blessed
That's why my unrequited love love love love
Keeps growing strong strong strong strong
That's why my unrequited love love love love
Keeps growing strong strong strong strong
Unrequited, I've been torn and lost
I've been paying the cost
Unrequited, I have given my most
Still I'm so lost
I've been up all night
Rehearsing old lies
How you're by my side
It's the burden I bear
That I still care

Prowler

A lover around 3pm, the reaper by 3am
Small hours in a gray daze
Meet me someplace in the staircase
Each day
You might think I’m just your regular face
The daily sound of the siren
The word’s out bout the mayhem
No trace they all keep saying
Bite of a snake
Wealthy is the one who waits
Checkmate
The next job could wait at any place
Hid in the corners wasting my time ‘way
’Til I taught myself how to get paid
The truth concealed behind a pair of eyes
Contracts keep me bound to this double life
Tripling my speed on the night-time highway
Plowing through beads of the wine-like blood rain
Hours upon hours planning the perfect crime
Patience pays off when the clock strikes midnight
Look away, look away, look away, I’m a prowler
Look away, look away, look away
Look away, look away, look away, I’m a prowler
Look away, look away, look away
Look away, look away, look away, I’m a prowler
Look away, look away, look away
Get away, get away, get away - it’s my hour
Get away, get away, get away
Here’s meticulous planning for hire
Colder than tundra, execution never wired
A true professional, the virtuosic wet job
I leave the scene faster than you would leave a shock site
As long as the money does the talking I’m set
Always finish what’s started before going to bed
I don’t feel no guilt nor do I really feel pride
A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do, right?
Look away, look away, look away, I’m a prowler
Look away, look away, look away
Look away, look away, look away, I’m a prowler
Look away, look away, look away
Look away, look away, look away, I’m a prowler
Look away, look away, look away
Get away, get away, get away - it’s my hour
Get away, get away, get away

Drawn to You

I'm loaded up with confessions, man
I've been a bad man
Had time to think through my wrongs, think through the words of the songs I never wrote
Had to keep deadpan
When the things around us got tough with the tightening cuffs, the nights out in the cold
It's felt like a lifespan
But here we still stand on the broken land with the cleansing rain clouds beyond
I've been a bad man
My sins and my wrongs, how they've haunted us all along, yet you keep carrying on
I was losing sight, thinking it's still July
I was losing my mind over chances to help us pull through
This losing fight messing with our lives
Yet you stood by my side, babe, that's why I'm drawn to you
I've done some bad things
I knew all those plans would soon get out of hands; I just listened, never heard
A single word
Life felt like a chorus, "nothing could stop us" I sang with my head in the dirt
For I'm a bad man
My sins and my wrongs, tattooed and lifelong, yet you still carry on
I was losing sight, thinking it's still July
I was losing my mind over chances to help us pull through
This losing fight messing with our lives
Yet you stood by my side, babe, that's why I'm drawn to you
I was losing sight, thinking it's still July
I was losing my mind over chances to help us pull through
This losing fight messing with our lives
Yet you stand by my side, babe, that's why I'm drawn to you
That's why I'm drawn to you
