1.	I Wanna be the Igniter 04:24	lyrics	buy track
I wanna smash the system I wanna break the cycle I wanna tear these walls down I wanna fuck myself up every night I wanna beat the heartache I wanna take what you take I wanna know the answers I wanna see the point in anything I wanna catch your meaning I wanna dream your dreamings I wanna trust your motives I wanna hold you to your promises I wanna feed the fire I wanna be the igniter I wanna feel it burning I wanna watch it all go up in flames Is there anything worth saving? And would I recognize if I saw it? Would I want it? And as the summer sun is fading I feel my hopes and dreams are failing No one gets out of this alive
2.	Isolate 03:36	lyrics	buy track
I hope you recognize the need to stay hidden At least until it's over for the night I low you understand the need to stay pretty And blend Isolate Before the crazy gets you too Isolate Before it gets inside of you I hope you recognize the need to stay hidden At least until it's over for the night
3.	I Am Am I? 03:27	lyrics	buy track
Try not to look it in the eyes It sees exactly what you are inside Be careful when you feed it lies It knows exactly what you try to hide We've all been searching for a better way a long time But I'll never see this through I will only end up becoming you I am am I? Why do you act like you're surprised You know exactly what you compromised Your web of lies will now unwind And tear us all apart from the inside We've all been searching for a better way a long time But I'll never see this through I will only end up becoming you I am am I?
4.	Desolate 04:00	lyrics	buy track
I'm so far away from anything that matters And so far away from anyone who cares All I have is time to think and it stretches on forever This desolate place inside of me I wanted to try but giving up is easier This desolate place around me An echo of what was A stain on my memory A false sense of belonging The burden of knowing Desolate and absolute Shattered hope A distant dream
