you're here aren't you? I know you're here I felt her dance before I turned around an open channel talking to me so loud I see a strangers face I know so well if only she would want to look at me two years to the day, is that how long it's been? what would I say but cue the violins looking my way as I swallow my heart it's drowning out the drums but my moment never comes another day, another dusty dance in disarray, never happenstance another night, another barren land another time when I'm just the invisible man and though I've grown and I should have known I'm none the wiser spite what I'm told that venom elixir oh do I, oh do I, oh do I, oh do I dare? hollowed out once again will this ever see its end? another day, another dusty dance in disarray, never happenstance another night, another barren land another time when I'm just the invisible man look my way so we can start again look my way so we can start again look my way so we can start again so we can start again, so we can start again

Tempt 03:56
I am the lover of Echo and it's so hard for me to let go of all I see, of all I see my door was open and in you came I couldn't see the picture past the frame oh that tapestry you weave you may not be my twin flame but you set my heart ablaze and the moments I remember are the ones that last forever oh baby, baby, when will you see I will never be what you want me to be baby, baby, maybe you're like me and for all eternity we would tempt and turn away another love born of vanity how you whisper sweet profanity like a birds' morning symphony no note out of place it's good to see the dream again but I'm wide awake now and it has to end we both have a habit of transience without a trace you may not be my soul mate you may not make me whole but you're an exceptional reflection and I love you even though oh baby, baby, when will you see I will never be what you want me to be baby, baby, maybe you're like me and for all eternity we would tempt and turn awayoh baby, baby, when will you see I will never be what you think you need baby, baby, maybe you're like me and for all eternity we would tempt and turn away you got a lot of love to give you wouldn't want to waste it on a hopeless case like us you got a lot of life to live you wouldn't want to settle for less just trust me oh baby, baby, when will you see I will never be what you want me to be baby, baby, maybe you're like me and for all eternity we would tempt and turn awayoh baby, baby, when will you see I will never be what you think you need baby, baby, maybe you're like me and for all eternity we would tempt and turn away

all these smiling faces come from different places they're acting all sycophantic pragmatic intellectual but it doesn't really matter if you're beautiful you want to be looked at but not seen the love of your life better be ready to say goodbye if you're seeking out cinematic, melodramatic, call it passionate quell abandonment you're feeling all inadequate just wanna be dreamt of in your dreams you got me LA lonely, LA lonely like orphans of the storm all trying to redefine the norm give it a go, you gotta captivate, ingratiate, so insatiable better that real be sensational we wanna be remembered forever like my affectations my inimitable imitations while I'm dealing with the perennially ethereal, I want to ameliorate with all the willful isolation I'll deteriorate forgetting that we're nothing if not together you got me LA lonely, LA lonely slowly descending while blowing amendments with ethics, integrity, prosperity, solidarity how can you help out your friend when you're your own worst enemy? slowing the mental quit smoking those petals you wrote in potential, they want you to revel in feelings of rebel not responsibility killing these feelings of lack attacks on my pride with no place to hide personification of honor shows me his back I'm lost in Los Angeles, ambling, rambling broken PTSD version of Rambo more lonely, less casualties no blood on my hands as I dance with fatality, fate handles me but as that phrase is reused I'm ashamed to admit that it's just an excuse the only thing that actually matters is that which you actually do so here is my response to questions from dad and mom I'm barely working, still remaining calm why I'm breaking down now frustrating, blaming my pain on loved ones around now cuz nothing motivates me or makes me proud now graduated college, thinking I'd have more knowledge with new answers more questions became more prominent predominate depression, lonely thoughts I get caught in them well I'm breaking out of my shell, exorcizing my demons never fleeing this fleeting metropolitan hell

guessing by the shadow cast, the shape of your intentions stumble in the dark to catch a hint of the one in question beckoned by your silhouette, fostered my insistence now I'm crawling just as fast as I can, but only met by your resistance now I don't want to wait the rest of my life the rest of my life on a day that may not ever come I don't want to wait the rest of my life the rest of my life to see what could be between the people we have become all I've lost along the way, all but my direction all I've learned from endless foreplay is to choose a new deception gathering my swagger now, the one I let you crumble light headed, heavy heart, you're the one who made me humble now I don't want to wait the rest of my life the rest of my life on a day that may not ever come I don't want to wait the rest of my life the rest of my life to see what could be between the people we have become I don't wanna wait I don't wanna wait on day that may not ever come I don't wanna wait I don't wanna wait to see what could be between the people we have become

scavenger of love I see you waiting there to pick her pieces up when the one she cries about has finally had enough scavenger of love I see you staring on her corner with your lies, compromise when she says she don't know what she wants out of the corner of your eye I think it gets to you and you know why she'd never dream of dreaming of you she'd never dream of dreaming of you she'd never dream of dreaming of you thats why you're cold, cuz she's holding out for the real thing scavenger of love I know it's nothing new for you to be adored leave her wanting more, hurt her cuz you've been hurt before scavenger of love so you got game, it's pretty lame it might have worked once or twice to entice that misguided girl and when you're lonely late at night I think it gets to you and you know why she'd never dream of dreaming of you she'd never dream of dreaming of you she'd never dream of dreaming of you thats why you're cold, cuz she's holding out for the real thing

maybe not built to love, only to need it bone dry this heart of mine, still feel it beating like snowflakes instead of stars makeup to cover scars you got me falling for your illusion you got me holding on to your lie you got me falling for your illusion oh you know, oh you know, oh you know oh you know how to lie returning to the cold, hard to avoid it your story goes untold if you don't live it like snowflakes instead of stars love once held in my arms you got me falling for your illusion you got me holding on to your lie you got me falling for your illusion oh you know, oh you know, oh you know oh you know how to lie

Widow's Web 04:41
barefoot while she's walking through the district nurturing that madman with her mystic now she's smiling like a viper in the dark slithering now, come hither how she won't let you get too far away I'm afraid to say like so many before you you've fallen victim to that widow's web catching prey again widow's web say your prayers my friend widow's web catching prey again widow's web so say your prayers my friend follow all that rose gold and glitter tango so hot it makes you shiver now she's laughing while you wonder what went wrong surprisingly predictable, the love was there then gone away I'm afraid to say like so many before you've fallen victim to that widow's web catching prey again widow's web say your prayers my friend widow's web catching prey again widow's web so say your prayers my friend don't make a lover you God or you will find out the hard way when they leave you behind when they leave you behind
