We'll see the way Right down this broken path we've made And if not today Tomorrow's sun will dry the rain That has fallen from my face If I can say The choices we've made Will lead to better days Lead to better days Don't let it slip away This is not the end If I can say The choices we've made Will lead to better days Lead to better days Don't let it slip away Come and take my hand Now's your chance to be someone To see your dreams go far Don't go and doubt yourself Because you are who you are Cause it's you that's holding back You say there's nothing left Don't believe a word they say Because you are who you are We'll see the better days But it's times we'll have to see the worst Some people strive for more Even when they come up first These power hungry fools are first to rise and first to fall They come to nothing when (they used to have it all) If I can say The choices we've made Will lead to better days Lead to better days Don't let it slip away This is not the end If I can say The choices we've made Will lead to better days Lead to better days Don't let it slip away Come and take my hand They used to have it all Come and take my hand If I can say The choices we've made Will lead to better days Lead to better days Don't let it slip away This is not the end If I can say The choices we've made Will lead to better days Lead to better days Don't let it slip away Come and take my hand

The Shock 03:43
You can't save me from the pains I put on myself The tiny tensions spark A never ending war between myself and you Won't help me out It's sink or swim In this water we're drowning in I'll find a way to capture this moment To see what's important When you say there isn't I see nothing wrong with being second best And I'll scream it from my chest Until you see what I see I see nothing wrong with being second best And I'll scream it from my chest Until you see what I see Don't expect me to give you my sympathy This situation is killing me We're in a place full of disarray YEAH Your facade is hiding what you've got underneath Your smiling, but surely you're struggling to breath But I know, I know that you see the brighter days See the hope in everything, trust me It's sink or swim In this water we're drowning in I'll find a way to capture this moment To see what's important When you say there isn't I see nothing wrong with being second best And I'll scream it from my chest Until you see what I see I see nothing wrong with being second best And I'll scream it from my chest Until you see what I see I see nothing wrong with being second best And I'll scream it from my chest Until you see what I see x2

It takes mistakes for me to grow Into the man I am I'm falling in between I'm stuck in the middle but I know I can We'll take this stand Over and over you said to me Don't let the thought of failure ruin your dreams Believe and they'll happen, Believe and they'll happen I've seen too many people throw it away A life clouded with doubt, I ask is this the price worth to pay? Don't let the thought of failure ruin your dreams Believe and they'll happen, Believe and they'll happen I've seen too many people throw it away A life clouded with doubt, I ask is this the price worth to pay? The promises I made to myself I'll show this world That I have a place Where I'm not stuck in the middle but I know I can I hope you understand Over and over you said to me You said to me Don't let the thought of failure ruin your dreams Believe and they'll happen, Believe and they'll happen I've seen too many people throw it away A life clouded with doubt, I ask is this the price worth to pay? Don't let the thought of failure ruin your dreams Believe and they'll happen, Believe and they'll happen I've seen too many people throw it away A life clouded with doubt, I ask is this the price worth to pay? Everything you said to me, it's become reality

We are so close To this road that leads us out on our own We are, we say we're better than this Living so close to you Feels as if there's many miles between us Call it what you may But that's the irony of this whole narration 'Cause I'm dying to get out 'Cause I'm dying to get out And she cries the blackest tears tonight Is it worth it? You're your own worst enemy And she cries the blackest tears tonight Is it worth it? You're your own worst enemy You pick me up I put myself down always Take the wrong way back around Things aren't going my way today 'Cause these mistakes Are coming back to haunt me And she cries the blackest tears tonight Is it worth it? You're your own worst enemy And she cries the blackest tears tonight Is it worth it? You're your own worst enemy And she cries the blackest tears tonight Is it worth it? You're your own worst enemy We are, we know, we say we're better than this We are, we know, we say we're better than this We are, we know, we say we're better than this (We're better than this) We are, we know, we say we're better than this We are, we know, we say we're better than this We are, we know, we say we're better than this

My reputation's gone out of line It's sinking faster in plain sight I've earned my place in this so called Empty apartment Without the recent reminder of you Well how can I go lead this life When everything's slipping away? I'll admit all these secrets I've been hiding all this long I can see yet I am blind To all these little things I'm out of line Stuck in what seems like forever But I'm running out of time Well how can I go lead this life When everything's slipping away? I'll admit all these secrets I've been hiding all this long Well how can I go lead this life When everything's slipping away? I'll admit all these secrets I've been hiding all this long Well how can I go lead this life When everything's slipping away? I'll admit all these secrets I've been hiding all this long x2

Life's on the run If you don't Don't keep it still Friends are nearly gone because 'Cause none of them are real You won't know What I'm trying to make out of this But soon you'll be Gone with the rest Life's on the run If you don't Don't keep it still Friends are nearly gone because 'Cause none of them are real You won't know What I'm trying to make out of this But soon you'll be Gone with the rest People say that nothing gold can stay Well, remember what we had to say 'Cause I'll be losing time And losing all my friends in a matter of seconds People say that nothing gold can stay Well, remember what we had to say 'Cause I'll be losing time And losing all my friends in a matter of seconds

Insomnia 02:51
When we're awake We will take Chances that Will decide our fate Without regret Without mistakes How will we ever learn We fall asleep And hope it was meant to be And in time We'll realize We have everything we'll ever need Get through the day We'll be okay Just make it through tonight Make it through tonight And we will feel so alive We fall asleep And hope it was meant to be And in time We'll realize We have everything we'll ever need We fall asleep Wake up

It's been twenty-eight days since I've last seen Life as we know tearing apart at the seams It stings every time I wake But do I, do I give in? I feel this weight pushing on my chest I hear the medic say "Wait up! Wait up! Just stay with me!" This is the state of emergency Why be so intricate when all of this will be soon erased It's like a riot, all of us will be out of place Don't waste your time on stupid things That's all I, all I have to say I feel this weight pushing on my chest I hear the medic say "Wait up! Wait up! Just stay with me!" This is the state of emergency Woo! Come on! I feel this weight pushing on my chest I hear the medic say "Wait up! Wait up! Just stay with me!" This is the state of emergency

Get rid of your name You won't need it anyways If God made us equal Then why aren't we the same (Let's go) I can listen to you speak But not hear a word you're saying Your lips make meaningless motions But you words will puncture like waves Not a word that you're saying Get up! Get up, get up and live a little Stop the clocks and solve this riddle 'Cause we want to hear what You have to say All this hate and this misery Is just pulling me down Forget what you know And leave out the rest And I confess all the sins that I'm guilty for, I'm guilty for Get up, get up and live a little Stop the clocks and solve this riddle 'Cause we want to hear what You have to say Listen don't speak And find the words that you are to seek Get up, get up and live a little Stop the clocks and solve this riddle 'Cause we want to hear what You have to say Listen don't speak And find the words that you are to seek

Old News 04:17
These ropes have retired to pull us up Into the heavens above again We will never be the same Even in our own reflection A broken image from the start Tried to be one, but I was fixed apart So pick up the paper You've got your name in the headlines Let me introduce who they are And what they're best at This is what they want This is what they want So pick up the paper You've got your name in the headlines Let me introduce who they are And what they're best at This is what they want This is what they want What we have not seen What we have not heard Is yet to be discovered For this old news I'm here to tell you That we're bringing it back Giving it back to all of you So I say thank you And please just don't forget to So pick up the paper You've got your name in the headlines Let me introduce who they are And what they're best at This is what they want This is what they want So pick up the paper You've got your name in the headlines Let me introduce who they are And what they're best at This is what they want This is what they want So pick up the paper You've got your name in the headlines Let me introduce who they are And what they're best at So pick up the paper You've got your name in the headlines Let me introduce who they are And what they're best at Fix your priorities

Use your eyes to count the Headlights on the highway Because I'll find them The water's empty now So jump right in Never knowing what's to come It's sink or swim Don't let the struggle pull you down Into the depths I know we're seeing too far They said that this wouldn't work A life where we've reached our dreams I know there's something missing I know there's something there You just gotta raise you hands And scream until they will listen The time is running out (The time is running out) For you to say that you're okay (For you to say that you're okay) And our own ship's gonna take it's course You just gotta keep you head up high And sail away to find the reasons why You started a journey that could change this life They said that this wouldn't work A life where we've reached our dreams I know there's something missing I know there's something there You just gotta raise you hands And scream until they will listen

Take Me 03:54
I'm counting down with the beating in my chest I know the time is running, boredom laid to rest No, I don't want to be alone, but We were condemned from the start Watch me come together just to watch me fall apart No, I don't want to be around Just let me go I'm throwing bricks at your window I'm getting tired of sleep I've finally gave up on me Just let me go I'm throwing bricks at your window I'm getting tired of sleep I've finally gave up on me Scream at the top of your lungs And keep this in your memories I'm not giving in, but I'm ready to give up Just let me go I'm throwing bricks at your window I'm getting tired of sleep I've finally gave up on me Just let me go I'm throwing bricks at your window I'm getting tired of sleep I've finally gave up on me Just let me go I'm throwing bricks at your window I'm getting tired of sleep I've finally gave up on me

Untitled 03:34
I've got to be dreaming 'Cause I don't want this Nightmare to last I've got to be dreaming 'Cause I'm off the edge And I'm falling fast 'Cause I will turn the tide To make things right For you and for me I'll use the lungs to scream the words I've been longing to say Before my time runs out And my breath shortens Each and everyday 'Cause I will turn the tide To make things right For you and for me I will turn the tide To make things right For you and for me Come on! 'Cause I will turn the tide To make things right For you and for me

Waiting Game 03:14
I know, I feel that there's something wrong Stutters from your voice are keeping me alarmed Your words trail off to a dead end road What have I done, what have I done You scream and say that I am arguing Telling me that I'm not even listening Oh what a shame you can't play this waiting game Oh what a shame you can't play this waiting game Split rows, sink holes Are what's keeping me from getting a hold of Your words they pierce right through my veins Like a bullet rushing in Lower your voice this is no competition Follow your ethics It's your time to choose and he says, "Why don't you ever just listen to me! I put my faith in you, Now put your faith in me!" Oh what a shame you can't play this waiting game Oh what a shame you can't play this waiting game Split rows, sink holes Are what's keeping me from getting a hold of Your words they pierce right through my veins Like a bullet rushing in But me, I'm different story A certified wreck with no intent to call Thee To remind me what is right from wrong Right from wrong Oh what a shame you can't play this waiting game Oh what a shame you can't play this waiting game Split rows, sink holes are what's keeping me from getting a hold of (Oh what a shame you can't play this waiting game) Your words they pierce right through my veins like a bullet rushing in (Oh what a shame you can't play this waiting game) Split rows, sink holes Are what's keeping me from getting a hold of Your words they pierce right through my veins Like a bullet rushing in But me, I'm different story A certified wreck with no intent to call Thee To remind me what is right from wrong Right from wrong
