Fracture 03:21
lyrics

Your precious time While in the darkness my smile With this stirring in the depths You cannot just accept the dilemma No not yet The nothing up here Is something to fear Used to haunt you with a touch Yet imprisoned in your blood What you wonder Where you begun All these questions without answers Intentions like a monster It's convincing but there's something Starts off as a fracture Then grows a reaction Doubts and pressure Gone with a fracture (Willing victim) (Don't resist them) (From a fracture) (A disaster) Oh, the terror in your eyes But this feeling you pushed aside Is leaking through the cracks You can't cement them back I'll take over Don't attack Or fight me I will tear right through Destroying anything of you Yet you're fighting with yourself You're ripped to shreds it hurts like hell Like a burning no one can tell You'll just say Numbness that I'm used to I'll just do what I'm good for Pins and needles in my skull Well it started off as a fracture Then grew a reaction You can't win war Not without a fracture Painted like a silhouette Like hollowness I can admit Yet my smile makes you bow before me For I come to deceive you Banish you of all reason Willing victims can't resist them Don't let your eyes deceive Cause' will they see vulnerability When you go out on your knees Cause it started off as a fracture Then grew this disaster Just accept it with me Your fracture Started off as a fracture Then grew a reaction Guess it's gone now Gone cause of the fracture

Villain 05:06
lyrics

Ribcage is ablaze Heart a scorched hole All I taste a burnt haze Am I in control? My mind turns to steam I'm kneeling at your feet Infest my bloodstream But this red is all I see Is all I see Don't play with matches That's what mother said To light it I'm tempted But I guess you know best Cause' I would defend you So I guess I'll push it aside I would protect you I lost the privilege of talking the moment you lit the fire So any last words What? A villain's tale is never told A villain's song is never sung A villain's perspective is far too cold A villain's side is always wrong Do you believe that's who I am Monsters don't deserve the title of human When their consciousness is poisonous Their toxicity lies In smoke in mirrors do I hide Patience Something which we all possess but Won't hold But these flames you're planting just seem To grow The fumes alone could drive a person mad If you Want a villain then I could Provide one Just say please and with one blink it Will be done Yet something that you'll never understand A villain isn't always bad Oh, don't you dare pollute me again The smog covers my eyes You're hurting me Please, you're burning me The embers ignite inside These mistakes that you've made Pushing me 'ward the hell pit Perhaps I'll rise aflame Is all I see But A villain can't ever be good A villain's thirst is only quenched with blood A villain is never misunderstood Oh no, a villain would kill again if they could But right now I don't care what you believe I'm not a toy, but you disagree You're forcing me to sympathise The gas inhaled, my bones now frail My eyes now veiled, I apologise Treading Over the ash left behind from Last time Ignoring and obscuring all the Past signs And burying them down inside my core Furnace Set alight and now my view is Smoking Yet why should a monster be a Victim When for you they can survive the fall I'm not the villain Just like you I feel I am a person So why do you insist on this Delusion No need for us to play pretend Why am I always the villain

Witness Protection 03:48
lyrics

If to hide the eyes meant to cover it all If the trials time wasn't suicidal If the only kind of defensive action Is to concede prosecution Yet multiple terms of confusion Play the fool the lasting solution Jury rules then breaking of order Objection your honour Court now in session All right bloodied hands Raise to the heavens Tongue is blackjack This evidence makes no sense Cause where's the witness Whoever stole the mind must've kept an arm Once upon a time bliss was raged with qualms Out the door the death of a lawyer Well carry on cause it's not important It's taken sides, there's a thief among the Flies around the metallic aroma Look around there's a stench of dishonour Remember you are under oath Court now in session Who bears the sins in Oath to heaven Tongue is blackjack This evidence makes no sense Without a witness So make a statement Cause judgement day Dictates direction Tongue is blackjack From this program Out of council So unlawful So unlawful

Pandora 02:13

Why did it have to come to this Forced my hand to blind myself yet I still missed The curse is only mine to live with Oh, I couldn't help but see the signs Why couldn't I ignore them like last time Just had to let it ignite I don't think the box can hold much more So move away or else you will get scorched Curiousity is always my downfall But life won't stop just because my feet are sore Hope is all it can contain Just don't expect it to obey To the chaos it is bound to create But I get the feeling it's too late Fire Chaos surges out and now there's Fire I try to trap but it bursts back it's Fire I try to flee but it drowns me in Fire Fire I catch a glimpse, try to resist but Fire Creates a spark within the dark and Fire It rises up and now I'm stuck in Fire Fire Shattered all control consumed in Fire Through it's eyes, I baptise in the Fire Now forever haunted by it's Fire Fire I, Pandora, stood no chance with Fire Now I'm the villain you desired Unhindged and cracked, we both are bound in

Disaster 03:37
lyrics
buy track
The promise I made to never get played This crown to this chest Yet something seems to snatch it away Don't underestimate my experience There are thrones to build and towers to instill Not much by appearance All these rocks thrown to try and counteract The avalanche that's coming, but it's funny Cause' they'll rain back I hope you're smiling I hope you're smiling now I hope you're smiling That what you've done has turned me to ruin So I hope you're crying I hope you're crying now I hope you're crying Cause' then it's you, not me The beautiful disaster (Willing vicitim) (Don't resist them) (From a fracture) (A disaster) Not even a fracture could predict what happened That the castle would be turned to dust by one atom And even when the gates were on lockdown The trojen horse returned to pilage to steal this crown What could be gained Who belongs to blame Perhaps there should be a duel just to see who deserves this pain Well I hope you're healing I hope you're healing now I do hope you're healing But that's not fair when you're the one who cut me So I hope you're bleeding I hope you're bleeding now I hope you're bleeding From gashes filled with ash The beautiful disaster I hope you're happy I hope you're happy now I hope you're happy That life without me Is beautiful Without disaster

about

From a Fracture encaptures a 360 perspective of mental health, from match to fire to ash, and how it only begins with a ‘fracture’ before crumbling to a ‘disaster’.
