"Black & White"
by Arcane Smile
_
Why can't I cut this chord...
Cut the ties and cut losses,
Count the scores?
Why am I always the one
Pretending to have fun
When I really want to run?
_
Finally said what I knew you'd always thought
When you're done with tearing me apart
I still won't call you out on you
I'm doing what you want me to
But I still won't call you out on you
_
She likes to think she knows it all
She'll find your flaws, she'll find your scars
Expose them all
She likes to think she's in control
She'll never leave, she's in your sleep She'll kill your soul
_
Finally said what I knew you'd always thought
When you're done with tearing me apart
I still won't call you out on you
I'm doing what you want me to
But I still won't call you out on you
_
Here it is in black and white
Here it is, it's fight or flight
I won't shut my mouth
I will bring you down
Play it rough, I'll wear you out
I'll wear...
_
Finally said what I knew you'd always thought
When you're done with tearing me apart
I still won't call you out on you
I'm doing what you want me to
But I still won't call you out on you

"Don't Wake Me Up"
by Arcane Smile
_
And I wish you well
Alone with your thoughts too
The lies you had to tell
It's all because of you
_
And I close my eyes
But I still see you
_
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Cause in my dreams there is no you
_
Gone through hell and back
Swear that I passed you
Know what to look for now
It's all because of you
_
And I close my eyes
But I still see you
_
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Cause in my dreams there is no you
_
And I can't change the past
And I don't think I want to
It may be a little dark, a little sad
But I now I see the real you
Because of you
Because of you
Because of you
_
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Cause in my dreams there is no you
There is no you
There is no you

"You Walked Away"
by Arcane Smile
_
You do it so well
Why act surprised?
You think I can't tell
What's behind your eyes?
So one track
So on point
Par for the course
Love to disappoint
_
I'm still here
_
You walked away
Left with no choice
Once again you dropped the chance
Made one of your great mistakes
You can't take my voice
_
Take it to your grave
Keep it out of mine
Nothing left to save
You ran through your time
_
I'm still here
I'm still here
_
You walked away
Left me with no choice
Once again you dropped the chance
Made one of your great mistakes
You can't take away my voice
_
You've done it so well
Much to your demise
Own it, face your hell
In a blink of an eye
_
I'm still here
I'm still here
_
But you walked away
You left me with no choice
Once again you dropped the chance
Made one of your great mistakes
Once again you dropped the chance
Made one of your great mistakes
Once again you dropped the chance
Made one of your great mistakes
You can't take away...

"Believe"
by Arcane Smile
_
Will I go blind tonight for the things I have done?
Please tell me, oh holy one
He's on to me, so on to me
Eyes on my skin
But I'm on to him, so on to him
And all of his sins
_
Everyone down on their knees
To beg forgiveness, to beg and plead
To someone or something they can't see
Father, father, can't you see
Just how you have forsaken me?
Don't ask me if I still believe
_
What gives you the right, oh holy one
To judge me for what I've done?
Look in the mirror and you'll see the problem is you
Will your redemption come for all you put me through?
_
Everyone down on their knees
To beg forgiveness, to beg and plead
To someone or something they can't see
Father, father, can't you see
Just how you have forsaken me?
Don't ask me if I still believe
Cause I don't believe
I don't believe
_
Behind closed doors the man in white turns to black
Too many lonesome nights, too many lonesome nights
With the innocent to attack
_
Mother Mary, can't you see?
They've had it out for you and me
I long for the day we'll be free
Everyone down on their knees
To beg forgiveness, to beg and plead
To someone or something they can't see
Father, father, can't you see just how you have forsaken me?
Don't ask me if I still believe

"Outdone"
by Arcane Smile
_
Feel the rain on my face
Tell me I can't win this race
I'm not done
Cutting through the air
You were just right there
I'm not done
_
You see the ground that I've gained
It changes with every step that I take
I'm changing the pace
I'm not outdone
_
If I were you, I would not turn around
If I were you, I would be in trouble now
If I were you, too late, don't look now
Here I come
_
The road's a crowded place
The loser has a new face
I'm not done
See you far behind
I don't pay no mind
I'm not done
_
You see the ground that I've gained
And all the steps that you never could take
I'm changing the pace
I'm not outdone
_
If I were you, I would not turn around
If I were you, I would be in trouble now
If I were you, too late, don't look now
Here I come
Don't turn around
We're in trouble now
Don't look now
Here I come
_
As I leave you here
I've taken your place
Out of my sight
I'm not your saving grace
I'm not outdone
I'm not outdone
_
If I were you, I would not turn around
If I were you, I would be in trouble now
If I were you, too late, don't look now
Here I come
Don't turn around
We're in trouble now
Don't look now
Here I come
