#Verse It isn't typical For me to feel this way Eager and always craving more And if you've noticed It's a little hard To keep the fire down So that no one explodes But it's hard #Verse I've been tried and I've been tested My self-control is crumbling No matter how I hold it I want it, I need it, I won't accept defeat Keep pushing, I crave it, as soon as I'm ready I'll grab it and I won't ever let it go #Chorus Take me to the edge and push until I break (let's see how far I go) Down on my knees I'll do whatever it takes (never wanted anything more) Relentless as the sea I'm crashing to the shore I desire more #Verse It isn't usual For me to want to rip the threads As I’m climbing all the walls But no one notices I want it, I need it, I won't accept defeat Keep pushing, I crave it, as soon as I'm ready I'll grab it and I won't ever let it go #Chorus Take me to the edge and push until I break (let's see how far I go) Down on my knees I'll do whatever it takes (never wanted anything more) Relentless as the sea I'm crashing to the shore I desire more (Yeah) #Chorus Take me to the edge and push until I break (let's see how far I go) Down on my knees I'll do whatever it takes (never wanted anything more) Relentless as the sea I'm crashing to the shore I desire more

What Day Is It 04:27
lyrics

Give me a day or two to collect myself cause life's been going on  Been missing crucial pieces of myself  It seems like I have gone Out of the door  Onto the road  With nothing but the dust to keep me Covered in something Other than skin  For the sun to feed on How long does this stretch? Is there much longer left?  Tired and breathing dust What day is it?  Nothing on the surface to remind me Just what my life used to look like It's just been desert here for days  And I've lost track of time Out of the door Onto the road  With nothing but the dust to keep me Covered in light  It's burning my skin And the heat is hungry  How long does this stretch? Is there much longer left?  Tired and breathing dust What day is it?  Tell me just how long  Will this carry on I've lost track of time  What day is it? What day is it? What day is it? What day is it? (Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah) I could have turned back Retraced my steps But that seemed like too much effort at the time  I just wanted to escape parts of myself  But they waited in line And there was no plain thing For me to set my sights upon No core to my centre Just the road ahead  And there was no plain thing For me to set my sights upon No core to my centre Oh what day is it? How long does this stretch? Is there much longer left?  Tired and breathing dust What day is it?  Tell me just how long  Will this carry on I've lost track of time  What day is it? What day is it? What day is it?  What day is it? What day is it?

Inspector I'm a suspect You think you've finally cracked the code The truth behind my eyes The spectrum that I live in Enigmas that you all despise You don't like what you don't understand And so you poke and prod To discover what makes me tick You'd have me cuffed and caged And treated like a lunatic And when questioned I would stubbornly Shake my head I don't want to share my secrets with you I don't need to share my secrets with you I'm not gonna share my secrets It's a mystery No need to understand it Your route to victory Is exercised as underhanded Yes I'm a mystery Encrypted and encoded No amount of trickery Will separate me from my secrets Encoded Inspector I'm encoded And it is no fault of yours I've learnt to live this way Built my towers while indoors My mind was strengthened while I should have been at play It's second nature now - it’s something even I can't break But you will poke and prod To discover what makes me tick You'd have me cuffed and caged To confirm that I'm a lunatic But when questioned I will stubbornly shake my head I don't want to share my secrets with you I don't need to share my secrets with you I'm not gonna share my secrets It's a mystery No need to understand it Your route to victory Is exercised as underhanded Yes I'm a mystery Encrypted and encoded No amount of trickery Will separate me from my secrets But you can try But you can try I'll never tell But you can try (Encoded) I'll never tell you can try I'll never tell I'll never tell you can try I'll never tell tell tell I'll never tell you can try I'll never tell I'll never tell you can try I'll never tell tell tell (Encoded) It's a mystery No need to understand it Your route to victory Is exercised as underhanded Yes, I'm a mystery Encrypted and encoded No amount of trickery Will separate me from my secrets

You Ran 03:38

You promised me that you would do whatever it takes To help me understand that skull of yours You promised me hand over heart that you'd tell me honestly If there wasn't enough of you left For me to hold And you ran Just this once Oh you ran away Sticking true to your guns all the way And you ran just this once Oh you ran away Plastered face to the front You're a fake Why don't you fake it I lied to you just the once to break it even I never meant for it to end I lied to you to self-preserve whatever I had left Cause beating inside me there was nothing For you to hold And you ran Just this once Oh you ran away Sticking true to your guns all the way And you ran just this once Oh you ran away Plastered face to the front You're a fake Why don't you fake it To be honest we were never meant to breathe The same air Cause whatever I gave you stole from me And left me there To be honest we were never meant to breathe The same air Cause whatever I gave you stole from me You stole from me You stole from me Why don't you fake it? Fake it It's all you know Sink into the lies Wonder how far you'll go Just to escape And you ran Just this once Oh you ran away Sticking true to your guns all the way And you ran just this once Oh you ran away Plastered face to the front You're a fake Why don't you fake it (We were never meant to breathe) Why don't you fake it (You stole from me) Why don't you fake it (We were never meant to breathe)

Take It 03:08
lyrics

Limp in as I struggle to lift the weight That your shoulders seem to carry Just by your indecisiveness One lump or two? Given time I just might erase the burden That you bare or maybe I'll just yell in frustration waiting for you to choose Oh, tell me How do you take it? When you can't decide which road you're going down? Oh, tell me now Do you fake it? When someone's trying too hard to figure you out? One lump or two? Weighted down to your knees as you drag your feet along And all questions are avoided with a shrug Whatever's easiest for you Given time you just might drop that burden to the floor as you march alone unencumbered but you're weighing down on me Oh, tell me How do you take it? When you can't decide which road you're going down? Oh, tell me now Do you fake it? When someone's trying too hard to figure you out? One lump or two? Just like a dumbbell second guessing yourself Because nothing is acceptable to your eyes You want both but you only get one Colour me disinterested because you can't decide Because you can't decide Why not let everyone figure your life out for you? One lump or two Oh, tell me How do you take it? When you can't decide which road you're going down? Oh, tell me now Do you fake it? When someone's trying too hard to figure you out? One lump or two? How do you take it? When you can't decide which road you're going down Oh, tell me how will you take it when you realize I'm not sticking around? One lump or two?

Broken Photo 02:26
lyrics

You might be stuttering, your sentences a mess Mumbled and muttering through everything they might suggest And though you're trying hard enough to disguise yourself Overthrown your broken photos But they're still sticking to the shelf They're watching you now You might be silently wishing for a better life Because the one you've got is just an empty shell You may have tried a few times to correct your mental health Overthrown by the fake photos That you took to convince yourself They're watching you now Does it make you feel uncomfortable? As you're seeing yourself through broken photos They're judging you now Does it make you feel miserable? You're showing yourself Through broken photos You could have been so great, you might have been so grand If you had taken time to focus on the tasks at hand Instead, you framed yourself a picture-perfect life On display to show the socials but didn't even get a like They're watching you now Does it make you feel uncomfortable? As you're seeing yourself through broken photos They're judging you now Does it make you feel miserable? You're showing yourself Through broken photos

Elephant 04:42
lyrics

There's an elephant in the room Can you sense all the space in the conversation? Best eluded to keep the peace Avoidance is encouraged by our generation Little tip toe here Little tip toe there No one's getting to the point 'cause they're way too scared Little tip toe here Little tip toe there We're breaking through Why are we still doing this? Suppressed, no surprises Afraid to put a foot in it Just stuck in our consequence Creaking floorboards set the pace Preparing for distraction without giving it away Best eluded to sleep at night Though no rest is gained with an elephant in sight Little tip toe here Little tip toe there No one's getting to the point 'cause they're way too scared Little tip toe here Little tip toe there We're breaking through Why are we still doing this? Suppressed, no surprises Afraid to put a foot in it Just stuck in our consequence Why are we still doing this? Suppressed, no surprises Afraid to put a foot in it Just stuck in our consequence I can't stay quiet anymore Silence will not stop what's in store I will not roll over sweet submission Forces will ensure that we learn our lesson Step left step right Are we breaking through? There's an elephant in the room Be still, be quiet Are we breaking through? There's an elephant in the room There's an elephant in the room There's an elephant in the room, the room, the room (Solo) Why are we still doing this? Suppressed, no surprises Afraid to put a foot in it Just stuck in our consequence Why are we still doing this? Suppressed, no surprises Afraid to put a foot in it Just stuck in our consequence

If Only for a Little While 04:30

Sinking to the floor ever so slow Who'd have thought that feelings could ever break your bones Not permitted to say - a single thing Just as the cruel reality starts sinking ... in "Lie me down I'll be right by your side And I will hold onto you If only for a little while Now you've gone you left us all behind But we will hold onto you if only for a little while." Cold down to the core of whatever's left I'm just matter lying still - hands on my chest How I wish I could cry - let it all escape Instead I'm completely broken not even able to break. "Lie me down I'll be right by your side And I will hold onto you If only for a little while Now you've gone you left us all behind But we will hold onto you if only for a little while." I should have guessed - life brings no guarantees Doesn't make it hurt any less no matter what is said to me You'll be missed through every empty mile we drive But we will hold onto you are if only for a little whiiiiile "Lie me down I'll be right by your side And I will hold onto you If only for a little while Now you've gone you left us all behind But we will hold onto you if only for a little while." If only for a little while If only If only for a little while

about

Drawing on Scars image

Drawing on Scars Atlanta, Georgia

Drawing on Scars is not a band in the traditional sense. The project started out as an online collaboration, with Will Thacker teaming up with various vocalists to help his music come to life.
The music has an aggressive edge to it, but it’s also quite melodic and textural, combining soothing landscapes with hard-hitting riffs. ... more
