Verse 1
You’re telling me lies, feels like everything I wanna hear, now tell me dear, do my headlights, keep you wondering in the dead of night, the point is beside itself, so let me ask you one more time myself, where do empty hearts go when it’s their turn to die?
Main riff
Verse 2
Thank you, goodnight, looks like you’ve given me all that I need, please do not feed, my ego this time, my response won’t convince otherwise, the point has revealed itself, so you just asked me one more time yourself, where do empty hearts go when it’s their turn to die?
Chorus
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Guitar solo
Chorus 2
Where do empty hearts go (when it’s their turn to die?)
Where do empty hearts go (when they can’t be filled up inside?)
Where do empty hearts go (when it’s their turn to die?)
Where do empty, where do empty hearts go?
Bridge
You cannot hide
So darling don’t try
You wrap yourself around a heartbeat or a pulse, you call that love?
I wouldn’t know
I’ll love myself one day, but til then, I’ll just let you do it for me
Til you run out of it yourself
Verse 3
You’re telling me lies, feels like everything I wanna hear, now tell me dear, do my headlights, keep you wondering in the dead of night, the point is beside itself, let me ask you one more time myself, where do empty hearts go when it’s their turn to die?
Chorus
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo

Verse 1
Who’s to say that I can save myself?
When pity leads to joy and praise and everything else
Figures of my own imagination
Substitute the hope of losing all the fear I’ve been staging
(And it goes)
Pre chorus
Round, round, round
You don’t know what it means to be down and
Out, out, out, out
Yet another reason to let myself...
Chorus
Ah my carousel
I just watch it spin
I’ll do anything
Oh to make it go round
Ah my carousel
I just watch it spin
I’ll do anything
Oh to make it go round
Post chorus
Round, round, round
You don’t know what it means to be down and
Out, out, out, out
Yet another reason to let myself drown
Verse 2
Uncomfortable in my own domain
Always searching for a reason to change my look or my name
To say she possessed me, is an understatement
I thought I got it out my head, guess I’m back on the ride again
Chorus
Ah my carousel
I just watch it spin
I’ll do anything
Oh to make it go round
Ah my carousel
I just watch it spin
I’ll do anything
Oh to make it go round
Post chorus
Round, round, round
You don’t know what it means to be down and
Out, out, out, out
Yet another reason to let myself drown
Bridge no lyrics
Breakdown (same lyrics as chorus but with voices swirling)
Post chorus
Outro
Save me misato
Save me misato
Save me misato
Save me misato

Verse 1
All dressed up for the Masquerade
But you’re not worth a thing when you’re on your own
I could be your saving grace
But you pushed me away like a rolling stone
Chorus
My time is priceless like pearls on your necklace
And you won’t live through this addicted to vices
And you don’t look sorry in moments you hurt me and
I feel so happy when everything’s burning
Verse 2
You can’t help but gravitate
To my shoulder when you weep
That vindictive bitter taste
On my tongue it only plays for keeps
Chorus
My time is priceless like pearls on your necklace
And you won’t live through this addicted to vices
And you don’t look sorry in moments you hurt me and
I feel so happy when everything’s burning
Bridge
Ahoooo
Ahoooo
Can’t love yourself when you’re watching each little grain of sand
Can’t love yourself when your love works just like an hourglass
Can’t love yourself when you’re watching each little grain of sand
Can’t love yourself when your love works just like an hourglass
Guitar Solo
Verse 3
We’re all creatures of habit here
Cause scars always surface in candlelight
A smile is so meaningless when you’re on your way to your gravesite
Chorus
My time is priceless like pearls on your necklace
And you won’t live through this addicted to vices
And you don’t look sorry in moments you hurt me and
I feel so happy when everything’s burning

Verse 1
That ring I hold above my head
Breeds success
But you can see the disdain in my eyes
Guess I’ll close them for a second time
Chorus
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Verse 2
Desperation broods throughout my chest
I hate to lose
No one taught me the pieces fall in place
But only if you’re looking the other way
Chorus
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Guitar solo with verse chords underneath
Chorus
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Bridge
When the ground caved in beneath, a heart felt broken for itself
A winter soul, to say the least, to be left up upon that shelf
In your life, I don’t mean a thing
It’s your life, I don’t need a thing
It comes and goes
Double Chorus/Outro
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
It comes and comes and comes and goes
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh

Auto-Mated
Verse 1
I’m a slave to my device
Cause I know that you’re always looking on the other side
We only speak in tongue
Cause we can’t resolve it if we’re both playing the broken one
Chorus
There’s nowhere to go
So step inside my head
Cause honesty
And apologies
Are overrated
You’ll never know
The things I dreamt we said
But I can’t stay
Or keep away
I’m automated
Verse 2
You want a love story fantasy?
I’ll be your scissorhands but will you be enough of a Ryder for me?
You only love me when I walk away
I give an inch you take a mile
And leave me in the cold
Chorus
There’s nowhere to go
So step inside my head
Cause honesty
And apologies
Are overrated
And you’ll never know
The things I dreamt we said
Cause I can’t stay
Or keep away
I’m automated
Mini drum fill
Mini guitar solo
Breakdown
I’m still waiting on your call
To pick up where we left off
Last embrace
Center stage
That night said it all
But no matter how hard I try
Can’t get you off my mind
I can’t wait
Or try to fake it
I’m auto-mated
Chorus
There’s nowhere to go
So step inside my head
Cause honesty
And apologies
Are overrated
And you’ll never know
The things I dreamt we said
But I can’t stay
Or keep away
I’m automated

Falling Through Fables
Verse 1
Dance along my eyes, teach me how to live
Fantasize, this gift, it only gives
How naïve is love, through a scripted lens
Scripted lens
Chorus
You’ll never see me in my real shape
Feelings I hold I must re-create
Falling through fables
You just enabled
Another death in the story this time
Interlude riff
Verse 2
You heal my pain and color my faith, your vision keeps me entertained
You heal my pain and color my faith, your vision keeps me entertained
Ornaments of dreams, to dress my bones
Tether me temptress, deliver me from fear to boundless strength
Chorus
You’ll never see me in my real shape
Feelings I hold I must re-create
Falling through fables
You just enabled
Another death in the story this time
Falling through fables
You just enabled
Another death in the story this time
Breakdown
You keep pressuring me, I keep holding my breath, you keep pressuring... holding my, holding my, breath
*actual breath*
Guitar solo
Outro
I find peace through scenes of alternate reality
I’m falling, falling
Falling through fables
