This City 04:53
Cover my ears from the sound That fill these crowded streets In a city that doesn't sleep Summer, think I'd find relief From the pouring rain From my soaking sheets Pulsing beats shake these walls Lights flickering And I want to make new friends But it's time to go, I'm leaving This city's got a grip on me Collapsing day by day The impossible feels so possible Tonight This city can breathe new life To a broken heart No longer torn apart By broken dreams, broken love It happens over and over again This city can give you a start It's all apart of the chances that you take Move over and find your own way Through the hustle day by day Can't stop, I just keep pace My world is caught in a twist of fate Everything's at stake It's okay I'm fine I'm in the city by the lake Tonight This city can breathe new life To a broken heart No longer torn apart By broken dreams, broken love It happens over and over again This city can give you a start It's all apart of the chances that you take Should I come apart (over and over again) I know this city can give you a start This city can give you a new start

All In 04:01
I've been a mess Thinking really hard How'd it get this far Everything is wrong And I don't think I'm strong To carry this fight on To keep it moving along I'm in the dark I'm in the dark I've noticed, I'm adrift Living my life to find some change Never this, no never this Give me an inch, give me an inch And I'm all in Give me that change and I won't quit God it's time I do something good No more games, no more games Give me an inch and I'm all in It's time I do something new It's time I do something good For myself I wanted to find an excuse To wiggle out of this mess that ensued I've been drifting from place to place I've been running the wrong race I've noticed, I'm adrift Living my life to find some change Never this, no never this Give me an inch, give me an inch And I'm all in Give me that change and I won't quit God it's time I do something good No more games, no more games Give me an inch and I'm all in Maybe it was fate Thought it would bend But now it's starting to break Like a light flickering away I've noticed, I'm adrift Living my life to find some change Never this, no never this Give me an inch, give me an inch And I'm all in Give me that change and I won't quit God it's time I do something good No more games, no more games Give me an inch and I'm all in Living a life to find some change Shifting around from place to place No more games, these masquerades I'm done with this, I'm all in Living a life, wanting change Never this, give me an inch and I'm all in

Free 04:15
I want to be free To choose and to believe If there was nothing Not one thing I'd live so much better I never wanted all this pressure If I could leave and make this better So let's go what's the wait I need to go and have a good time Because the sun is shining The moon is waiting It's too late I found the sound Pack your bags, go for a ride No more enemies to chase I'll see you on the other side I want to free to choose and to believe In something, yeah something That put's us together That binds us forever That binds us forever So let's go what's the wait I need to go and have a good time Because the sun is shining The moon is waiting It's too late I found the sound Pack your bags, go for a ride No more enemies to chase I'll see you on the other side Oh mister moon I'll see you soon I'll be up in the sky so high Oh mister sun oh mister rain You've come to tell me I'm fine So let's go what's the wait I need to go and have a good time Because the sun is shining The moon is waiting It's too late I found the sound Pack your bags, go for a ride No more enemies to chase I'll see you on the other side
4.
Of course you're not insane You prove to yourself In every single way There's a healing hand Of a god that's never been shown to care Here and now Call me out again And I come back to the fold Because I'm tired of your games You've got nothing but fool's gold Well it's alright If you really want to lose your mind And it's okay If you really want to think that way But it's come time If you really want to do what's right Make it worth while And think about the other side And you've been running your mouth all day Going nowhere fast And you stop to catch your breath The truths collapse The more you take on faith You lose your brain In every single way You're not a free man Just a fool that's never been told to ask why You want to believe When nothing makes much sense In the world, your life The world you want to confide If you lived a day In the eyes of someone else You'd come to find It's the blind leading the blind But it's more than what you say It's the path you pave And you want to connect yourself To a life that lasts Well it's alright If you really want to lose your mind And it's okay if you really want to think that way But it's come time if you really want to do what's right Make it worth while Think about the other side But I'm thinking it's over It's over I'm thinking it's over

Lucky One 04:03
It's okay To feel good, to feel alive Safe inside your walls You've never stepped outside You've never fought this war Back to win the game And you will never lose Because you never played Drowned in fear and nonsense (Isn't everyone) I think you're hopeless Because you never thought to think about someone else You just command and feel it's alright And you know just how I should spend my time You're such an expert You've got it figured out You've seen the light I've been listening You know the feeling That I've been missing You must be the lucky one With your diamond ring And your fucked up world You march on regretfully You want to get to the top For all to see I think I've stalled I've bared my soul I'm not tired at all Of course I'm lost I feel most of us are too Every time I've fallen down I've gotten up, not a sound Everyday get lost in your head Because you hit a steak You've found someone else You've become the thing You never wanted to be You can't help the things That follow you Take a pause, go Until I become whole I'm calming down I feel just fine I've been told To let it go And let it call I'm waiting I'm waiting I've been waiting I've been waiting For a little piece of love I've been waiting I've been waiting I've been waiting For a little piece of love

Our little friend has a saying There's no need to fear we know where you'll go Our little always knows When you die, this is where you'll go And our little friend has a plan That plan is already made If you didn't know or didn't care You will not be spared You should've known to make amends Nothing's behind the wall Something's not being told Keep on doing what you're told Everyday you crawl Every way you fall Hold on to the illusion Don't peak too much, you might notice This isn't so clear Maybe you don't need this suffering So many lives are lived closed down Maybe it's time you make a sound It's time you come around No one takes the blame Something should've been said Something's gotta give this time Something's gotta break our side Something's gotta change Don't complain when it stays the same Someone's gotta do what's right Someone's gotta take this fight I've known since we've met You were never fair You ceded your timed Saying the same thing I don't need your lines Spinning round and round again You've pushed too far You really can't go back I have known since the day we met I have known you weren't fair I have known

In Between 04:24
The day that I was told I would be leaving for good I knew it would be the end Of everything I loved And if I ever make it home again Nothing would ever be the same Everything and everyone Would be long gone When you say goodbye Leave a picture of home Just so I know I'm not alone You come, you live, then you go In between, you try to hold on And if you ever find someone else Someone who understands Please go and take that chance Because I'm not coming back I don't want to grow apart I don't want a brand new start But you've got your plans And I don't want to see them fall apart When you say goodbye Leave a picture of home Just so I know I'm not alone You come, you live, then you go In between, you try to hold on It's a lonely world out there It's a lonely place out there And I'm still looking for a place I don't think I'm running away But everything is telling me I'm not searching hard enough
8.
Doubt 04:02
There more to me than I can show A belief that I'm on my own A part of me that's lost in this space A second being that peaks then leaves For a second I found that place Then it goes away in a cloud I've never been free just planning it out The next leap would set me on fire Another dream to chase around I want to believe there's something more before I die And I don't know if I've lost sight Keep thinking the world has to life There's a ray of light When you thinking you might Keep on pushing to fight The things I don't know Bridges I'm willing to burn Pages I'm willing to turn I can't go back No I won't, I won't I want to scream until it all comes out As your fiction grows, it rises And comes all down to doubt A fool, amused, promises nothing The pieces of all things Things that just don't go It feels just like lie There's a ray of light When you thinking you might Keep on pushing to fight The things I don't know Bridges I'm willing to burn Pages I'm willing to turn I can't go back No I won't, I won't I really tried to push it by Something I got to do I wish, wish I could change Have I gone insane If you don't know by now Please let me in Let me in I'm yours again And again, and again
9.
A Hold On Me 03:04
The things I do because I'm lost in you I wish you were around but you left town The infinite ways you make me laugh The culmination of every breath I'm undone and alive I don't care where go Doesn't matter much As long as you're around We can run this town I don't know how to act I go off the tracks Then you bring me back Tell me your proud The dreamers often want it all With answers written on the wall I found out What it's about I don't care about the god damn crowd I'm on this fireball screaming down I'll meet you like we planned Above the photographs You'll be my better half As we stop and stare A kiss upon our clenching hands We get to lose ourselves I'm afraid like no one else Times will change but not who we are It's been so long my heart's still yours tonight I don't need another night This feels right Angie's got a hold on me She's got a hold on me You've got a hold on me I hope she keeps me around
10.
You're strong You never fall in line Through the darkness of this empty haze There's a place where it's clear A space you shine your light When you leave Don't say goodbye Where you go, I'll be by I see the world It's the same in your eyes A couple of fools Just seeking the truth A couple of fools Not a thing to lose You always said alright The world's on fire again I don't care I get to see your face I found strength through your voice I couldn't be that man without your sound Faith is for the blind But you're real tonight We'll the world behind (Don't look down) Doesn't matter who drives (Feel it through the sound) It's all about the drive (Don't look down) In our own little world (Flying through outer space) We'll leave the world behind (Let's leave this place) Get scared out of your mind I'll be by I'll be by Sure we'll fight All the time It's the way you say It'll be alright Makes the emptiness Of the everyday Slip away out of sight Tonight, leave the world behind Tonight, leave the world behind
11.
Call Me 04:05
You were only alive I saw you pass on by In the middle of space In the blink of an eye Then you disappeared And that'll last for years I heard that you had collapsed These echoes travel fast A million light years away There's to nothing to save I think this is the end Until time starts over again I think this is the end Call me, when you want, I'll pick up Call on me, when you want, I'll pick up
12.
Signal One 04:55
It's a voice making a call Signal one Signal one Are we going to be the same From now on With signal one Signal one I don't want to run away I want to see it all Collapse into one Isn't that what you want What do you want And what a relief We get to see it come Signal one I want to know why we are Who we are Follow me into a place where no one's been Just lose yourself Follow me, feel yourself slip into a trance Like no one's there Follow me I'm listening Feels like a heart that beats in two Feels like there's a rhythm inside you Feels like the voice of something true I'm listing Feel like you finally found a tune Talk to me, turn yourself into something more Than signal one Talk to me, tell me everywhere you've been So glad you've come Signal one So glad you've come Signal one Talk to me Signal one Talk to me Signal one

Inch By Inch 04:50
You've got to meet me halfway There, make me want to stay Our world's are broken It's shattered now Scattered around, all around Was it enough I've tried and tried Can't put it aside When we fell, I just lied Wouldn't do what I wanted to Always on the move Was hard to stay true So hard to stay true So hard to stay true Inch by inch, we come undone Inch by inch, I feel everyone Inch by inch, the walls come alive Inch by inch, I begin to lose my mind Piece by piece, clammed in together As we bleed, feeling the pressure Hope released, down here forever Day by day, things to deliver Don't you die on me Lie and cheat, just don't leave So let the sound, drown me I've tried to speak, it's hard to breathe Inch by inch, I've made my peace I can die here without any fear Don't you lie to me
15.
Reconcile 05:26
Was a time when I was safe The world was small, nothing changed I found a space between the things That haunted me and reality It slipped away, I came of age There's nothing more to masquerade So I'm lost when I'm faced with the truth That I never knew Quiet souls, an empty gaze You realize, things will fade Immobile limbs, your sudden twitch Gives away your tempered rage I don't know why I thought I'd feel so safe I'm so far away, a remote place I can't escape the way we behave We lie like children lie What's changed? Power and fame never goes away The things we say to get ahead remain The things we do never do in our former lives It's not enough what you do They make you stretch until you're through I should've known, I should've stayed This whole damn time I've been played There's nothing here to keep us safe Everything would was away You and you, especially Will be you last With the jokes And your face And your frozen laugh I'll try to reconcile I'll try to reconcile I feel deprived Feel denied, I'll try to try I'll try, I'll try to try
16.
In a new world And you're so naive You thought a little love Would solve everything They're animals feeding on anything The rotting parts, they strip clean Scavengers preying on a wounded being Waiting on a drop of blood Thought they weren't around? Digging away for something new These little lies they always choose They say it so harmlessly Push it so honestly They think it's true Penniless and often stressed There's a massive swell When there's nothing left A perfect plan a grifter gives The mindless fall and we all bend This all seems more insane than I thought I'm begging for something new I'm holding on They've got the need to tell you that you don't know You've got to bleed to feed yourself, something's wrong Up top trickling, that's not wealth, just feed The kind is gone but something rules It's nothing new They want it all, there's no room for you Peel it away, expose the truth You got to tie their noose They say it again and you fall Believe it again it's your fault It's a ruse
17.
I can't wash away this smell And I can't remember what he said Change it twice a month Or is it twice a day Take two before, before you go to bed I still can't remember what he said And when you want to be someone (It's fucking hard) Wait, your life just becomes undone It's a disease so incurable Give it some steam it's passed off as normal Piece by piece it eats and it feeds And you give a voice and it presses and pleads Like the masses it taunts It baits, it doesn't wait until you fall into deep And you can't even scream This production never ends I'm lost in someone else We're all frail We all have our needs So get off your high horse And descend to reality We all have our angels And our demons So there's nothing to run from (There's nothing to run from) No there's nothing run tom I'm locked up In this room it's cold I'm freezing through my hands Turning blue, strung up Comatose, sheered bones Wired coils spinning round Spinning round and round I'm a mess through and through We all got our angles We all got our demons
18.
So I wanted to know When we're breaking the mold So I said I would try Now I just question why So I wish this was fun Now I see that it's done You live inside your own mind You want to fight, just turn the tide Day by day we push one another Just like sheep, moving to the slaughter Done? Haven't you thought it out? When you speak, do you believe Your words come alive? And I've learned you can only go so far Before you need, to quell, the rising tide And I need to feel we haven't given up Haven't settled down Now that we see there's no relief I don't think you understand It's so close to the end And I've shut myself down So I wanted to know When we're breaking the mold So I said I would try Now I just question why Before we cross over this plain Tell me how I became insane Are you breathing alright Or have you drowned Before we die before we flip Tell me now if you've come to get it Was it worth it all Or did they lie Screw these freaks all stuck together They lack teeth just can't deliver Done? Haven't you thought it out? When you speak, do you believe Your words come alive? Well I need to feel we haven't given up Haven't settled down Now that we see there's no relief I don't think you understand It's so close to the end And I've shut myself down
19.
Four Words 10:18
Live unafraid, stop keeping lists They're all the same A hole remains Confused, it's true Don't know to go, don't know to stay The world started change How much was enough More, what everyone wants Fill it up, not fat enough We all want more in every way When that fills up it's all the same It's never enough to keep us satisfied This place feels strange It looks the same But every turn there's more to pay Let them laugh, it's alright Yeah I thought you learned, I thought you changed Break before you fall, ashamed of it all The color fades, your face so pale You can't save it all, but what did you make? What did you give away? I'm blown away by the choices you've made It's money walk away Can't take it to your grave Expectations, I feel so underdone Like a tidal wave on a deserted plain Try and walk away You want to live Another day This void, it stays There's no room to push away When darkness falls It's easy to see A glimmer of hope A hint of light But it fades So far away The townies they go out at night They spew their booze They get into fights In god's country it's their life You need to choose what you love Little by little you'll know The puzzle turns to a whole Then it's cold, yeah it's cold It's cold when the rain falls above me The air I breathe feels so clean What do you see? Sure I played a fair game But I'm laying low, my chances down Blurred on my heels Said it was fine Money and life will not hide Feel ill doing this work Don't say I don't try, but sometimes Truth, the pursuit of the new thing to do Is all that satisfies Push in Don't care about your love Don't care about your faith Don't care about your god Just try and push all on me I've got a hole inside, nobody knows So much has happened to me come over Come over The sound that washes me all over All over So this was meant to be One lover, no other The void, temporary It's over, it's over Please remain in peace Don't move, stay still Please believe me when I say You've got a hold on me Please blaze the path without ease The struggle takes a toll on me Please take a chance on things They won't last, regret never dies Four words come to me when I wake They've got a hold on me Four words set me free Come wash over me Eat breath dream leave Sleep dream breath leave Eat sleep dream repeat Eat sleep work repeat Please take a chance on me Come wash over me Come wash over me Take a chance on me Four words come to me when sleep They've got a hold on me They've got a hold on me Take a chance on me
