Brand New Eyes / September 09, 2009

 

Careful

I settled down

A twisted up frown
Disguised as a smile, well
You would have never known


I had it all
But not what i wanted
cause hope for me
Was a place uncharted
And overgrown


You'd make your way in
i'd resist you just like this


You can't tell me to feel
The truth never set me free
So, I did it myself


You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more
More
More
More, more


Open your eyes like i opened mine
It's only the real world,
A life you will never know


Shifting your weight
To throw off the pain
well You can ignore it
But, only for so long


You look like I did
You resist me just like this


You can't tell me to heal
And, it hurts remembering
How it felt to shut down


You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more
More
More
More, more


The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
So, I'll do it myself


You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out...


Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out
More
More
More
More, more

Ignorance

If I'm a bad person,

you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle
I mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore


Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge
but if you're gonna judge me
Well sentence me to another life


Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
Cause you know we're not the same,
yeah we're not the same
Oh we're not the same


yeah the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept
that the change is good
It's good
It's good


You treat me just like
another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out


You treat me just like
another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out


Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend


This is the best thing
that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person but you can't take it
The same tricks that,
that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
well now I can fend for myself


Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
Cause you know we're not the same,
yeah we're not the same
Oh we're not the same


yeah we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept
that the change is good
It's good
It's good


You treat me just like
another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out


You treat me just like
another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out


Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend


You treat me just like
another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out


You treat me just like
another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
    

Playing God 

Can't make my own decisions

or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up
so I don't go where you don't want me


You say that I been changing,
that I'm not just simply aging
Yeah how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat


Oh oh oh ohhhh


You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror


If God's the game that you're playing
Well we must get more acquainted
Because it has to be so lonely
To be the only one who's holy


It's just my humble opinion
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you


Oh oh oh ohhhh


You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror


This is the last second chance
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm half as good as it gets
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm on both sides of the fence
(I'll point you to the mirror)
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it


I know you don't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror


I know you won't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

Brick By Boring Brick

She lives in a fairy tale

Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies


Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds


Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle (x2)


Ba da ba da ba


So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck 12
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
or the wolves gonna blow it down


Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds


Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle (x2)


Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic


Well, if it's not real
You can't hold it in your hands
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah


Go get your shovel
We'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle (x2)


Ba da ba da ba...

Turn It Off

I scraped my knees while i was praying

and found a demon in my safest haven
seems like its getting harder to believe in anything
and just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts


I wanna know what it’d be like
to find perfection in my pride
to see nothing in the light
but turn it off in all my spite,
in all my spite i’ll turn it off


and the worst part is before it gets any better we’re headed for a cliff
and in the freefall i will realize i'm better off when I hit the bottom


tragedy it seems unending
i'm watching everyone i looked up to break and bending
we’re taking short cuts and false illusions
just to cut out the hero


well i can see behind the curtain
the wheels are creaking, turning
it's all wrong the way we’re working
towards a goal that's nonexistent, it’s nonexistent but we just keep believing


and the worst part is before it gets any better we’re headed for a cliff
and in the freefall i will realize i'm better off when I hit the bottom


I wanna know what it’d be like
to find perfection in my pride
to see nothing in the light
but turn it off in all my spite,
in all my spite i’ll turn it off
just turn it off again
again, again, again.


and the worst part is before it gets any better we’re headed for a cliff
and in the freefall i will realize i'm better off when I hit the bottom


and the worst part is before it gets any better we’re headed for a cliff
and in the freefall i will realize i'm better off when I hit the bottom

The Only Exception

When I was younger

I saw my daddy cry
And cursed at the wind
He broke his own heart
And i watched
As he tried to re-assemble it


And my momma swore
that she would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist


But darlin',
You, are, the only exception
But, you, are, the only exception
But, you, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception


Maybe i know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face


And i've always lived like this
Keeping it comfortable,
distance, and up until now
I'd sworn to myself that I'm content
With loneliness
Because none of it
was ever worth the risk, but...


You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception


I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream


Oh


You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception


And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing.

Feeling Sorry

We still live in the same town,

well, don't we?
But I don't see you around anymore.
I go to all the same places,
not even a trace of you...
Your days are numbered at 24.
And I'm getting bored
waiting round for you,
We're not getting any younger, and I
Won't look back 'cause there's no use
It's time to move forward!


I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave!
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time for feeling sorry!


I tried not to think of what might happen,
When your reality, finally, cuts through.
Well, as for me, I got out and I'm on the road.
The worst part it that this (THIS! ),
this could be you.
You know it too, you can't run from your shame!
You're not getting any younger, time,
Is passing by, but you waited awake...
It's time to roll over!


I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave!
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time for feeling sorry!


And all the best lies,
They are told with fingers tied!
So cross them tight,
Won't you promise me tonight
If it's the last thing you do, you'll get out...


I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave.
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time, I've got no time!


I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave!
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
Got no time!


I've got no time for feeling sorry!
I've got no time for feeling sorry!

Looking Up

Things are looking up, oh finally!

I thought I'd never see the day when you smile at me.
We always pull through
oh when we try,
I'm always wrong but
you're never right.
You're never right!


Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this!
It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh..
It's not a dream anymore!
It’s worth fighting for.


Could have given up so easily
I was a few cheap shots away from the end of me
Taken for granted,
most everything
that I would have died for
Just yesterday,
Just yeterday.


Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this!
It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh..
It's not a dream anymore!
It’s worth fighting for.


God knows the world
doesn’t need another band,
(whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
But what a waste it would’ve been!
(whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
I can't believe we almost hung it up!
(whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
We're just getting started (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)


Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this!
It's not a dream anymore! No, no
It's not a dream anymore! no, no
It’s worth fighting for.


I can't believe we almost hung it up
(woah-ohohoh)
We're just getting started!
(woah-ohohoh) x2


We're just getting started!
We're just getting started!

Where The Lines Overlap

Give me attention

I need it now
Too much distance
To measure it out (out loud)


Tracing patterns
Across our personal map
And Making pictures
Where the lines overlap
Where the lines overlap


No one is as lucky as us
We're not and the end but
Oh we already won
Oh no, no one
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us


Call me over
And tell me how
well, you got so far
Never making a single sound


I'm not used to it
But I can learn
There's nothing to it
I've never been happier
Never been happier


No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but
Oh we already won
Oh no, no one
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us


Now I've got a feeling
if I sang this loud enough, you
Would sing it back to me
I've got a feeling
if I sang this loud enough, you
Will sing it back to me


I've got a feeling
I've got a feeling
That you, will sing it back to me
You, will sing it back to me


No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end
But Oh we already won
No no, No one
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

Misguided Ghosts

I'm going away for a while.

But I'll be back, don't try to follow me,
'Cause I'll return as soon as possible.
See I'm trying to find my place,
But it might not be here where I feel safe.
We all learn to make mistakes.


And run.
From them, from them,
With no direction.
We'll run from them, from them,
With no conviction.


'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts,
Travelling endlessly.
Don't need no roads.
In fact they follow me.
And we just go in circles.
Now I'm told that this life,
And pain is just a simple comprimise,
So we can get what we want out of it.


Would someone care to classify,
Our broken hearts and twisted minds,
So I can find someone to rely on.


And run,
To them, to them
Full speed ahead.
Oh, you are not useless.
We are just...


Misguided ghosts,
Travelling endlessly.
The ones we trusted the most,
Pushed us far away.
And theres no one road,
We should not be the same.
But I'm just a ghost,
And still they echo me.
They echo me in circles.

All I Wanted

Think of me when you're out, when you're out there

I'll beg you nice from my knees
When the world treats you way too fairly
It's a shame i'm a dream


All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you


I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
And wake up early to black and white re-runs?
That escaped from the mouth


Oh-Oh


All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you


I could follow you to the beginning
And just relive the start
And maybe then we'll remember to slow down
To all of our favorite parts


All I wanted was you


All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
 

All We Know Is Falling / August 02, 2005

All We Know

We've tried so hard to understand, but we can't.
We held the world out in our hands and you ran away.

It takes some time to let you go and it shows.

Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all.

Now we can follow you back home but we won't.
Is this what you had waited for? Just to be alone?

It takes some time to let you go and it shows.

Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all.

You never, you never said
This wasn't what you wanted, was it? Was it?

This isn't what you wanted.
This isn't what you wanted.

Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all

Pressure

Tell me where our time went
And if it was time well spent
Just dont let me fall asleep
Feeling empty again

Cause I fear I might break
And I fear I cant take it
Some night I'll lie awake
Feeling empty

I can feel the pressure
its getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
its getting closer now
We're better off without you

Now that I'm losing hope
And theres nothing else to show
For all of the days that were spent
carrying away from hope

Somethings I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone
Feeling empty

I can feel the pressure
its getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
its getting closer now
We're better off without you

Without you

Somethings I'll never know
And I had to let them go
Somethings I'll never know
And I had to let them go
But I'm sitting all alone
Feeling empty

I can feel the pressure
its getting closer now
We're better off without you

Feel the pressure
its getting closer now
You're better off without me

Emergency

I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
If you thought I'd breathe then you were wrong
Because I won't stop holding on

So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
If you thought I'd breathe then you were wrong
Because I won't stop holding on

This is an emergency
So are you listening?
And I can't pretend that I don't see this
It's really not your fault

Chorus:
And no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it
Cause' I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserved to be alive
Alive...

So give up every chance you get
Just to feel new again
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
And you do your best to show me love
But you don't know what love is
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
Well I can't pretend that I don't see this
It's really not your fault

And no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it
Cause' I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserved to be alive
Alive...

The scars they will not fade away

And no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it
Cause' I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserved to be alive
Alive...
Alive...
 

Brighter

So this is how it goes
Well I, I would have never known
And if it ends today
I'll still say that you shine brighter than anyone

Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

Well this is not your fault
But if I'm without you
Then I will feel so small
And if you have to go
Always know that you shine brighter than anyone does.

Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

If you run away now,
Will you come back around?
And if you ran away,
I'd still wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright.

Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

I'll wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright
(You shine bright, you shine bright)
I'll wave goodbye tonight 

Here We Go Again

And here we go again
With all the things we said
And not a minute spent
to think that we'd regret
So we just take it back
these words
And hold our breath
Forget
the things we sworn we meant

I'll write you just to let you know
That I'm alright
Can't say I'm sad to see you go
Cause I'm not
(well I'm not)
well I'm not

And here we go again
with all the things we did
And now im wondering
just who I would have been
To be the one attached
at all times to your hip
Forget
the things we sworn we meant

I'll write you just to let you know
That I'm alright
Can't say I'm sad to see you go
Cause I'm not
(well I'm not)
well I'm not
(no I'm not)
(no I'm not)

I'll write you to let you know
That I'm alright
Can't say I'm sad to see you go
Cause I'm not
(no I'm not)
well I'm not
(no I'm not)
I'm not
Are not

And here we go again
With all the things we said
And not a minute spent
to think that we'd regret
So we just take it back
(So we just take it back)-repeats

Let This Go 

Maybe if my heart stops beating
it wont hurt this much
and never will I have to
answer again to anyone

please don't get me wrong
because I’ll never let this go
but I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
but now I feel like I don't know you oh

one day you'll get sick of
saying that everything’s alright
and by then I’m sure ill be
pretending just like I am tonight

please don't get me wrong
because I’ll never let this go
but I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
but now I feel like I don't know you oh

let this go
let this go

ill never let this go
but I cant find the words to tell you
I don’t want to be alone
but now I feel like I don’t know you

and I’ll never let this go
but I can't find the words to tell you
that now I feel like I don't know you

Whoa

I've hoped for change,
and it gets better everyday
I've hoped for change,
but still I feel the same

There's something wrong,
cause everybody knows
That we can do this on our own

And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

We're doing fine
And it gets better everytime
We're doing fine
But I'll let you decide

There's something wrong,
cause everybody knows
That we can do this on our own

And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

And I'll confess
That I can be a little selfish
And I'll admit
I don't want you to help me through this
I don't want to start over again

And we've got everybody singing
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

And I'll confess
That I can be a little selfish, I can, I can
And I'll admit
I don't want you to help me through this
I don't want to start over again

Conspiracy

Please speak softly
or they will hear us
and they'll find out
why we don't trust them
Speak up dear
'cause I cannot hear you
I need to know
why we don't trust them

Explain to me
this conspiracy against me, yeah
And tell me how
I lost my power, oh yeah

Where can I turn
'cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertianty
I'm so unsure of...
Tell me why I feel so alone
'cause I need to know
to whom do I owe

Explain to me
this conspiracy against me, yeah
And tell me how
I lost my power, oh yeah

I thought
you would make it
because you said
that we'd make it through
And when all security fails
you'd be there
to help me through

Explain to me
this conspiracy against me, yeah
And tell me how
I lost my power, oh

Franklin

When we get home i know we wont be home at all
this place we live
it is not where we belong
and i miss who we were
and the town we could call our own
going back to get away after everything has changed
everything has changed

so we stand here now
and no one knows us at all
i wont get used to this
i wont get used to being gone
and going back wont feel the same if we arent staying
and going back to get away after everything has changed
everything has changed

its taking up our time again
go back we cant, go back at all
its taking up our time again
go back we cant, go back at all

its taking up our time

cause you remind me of a time
when we were so alive
do you remember that?
do you remember that?

My Heart

I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone

Stay with me, this is what I need, please?

Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?

I am nothing now and it's been so long
Since I've heard the sound, the sound of my only hope

This time I will be listening.

Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is your's

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is your's
(My heart, it beats for you)

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
(It beats, beats for only you. My heart is your's)
My heart, my heart is your's
(Please don't go now, Please don't fade away)
My heart, my heart is your's
(Please don't go now, Please don't fade away)
My heart is your's
My heart is your's
(Please don't go now, Please don't fade away)
My heart is your's
My heart is...

Oh Star

Oh star fall down on me
Let me make a wish upon you
Hold on, let me think
Think of what I'm wishing for

Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
I had it.
But I forget.

And I won't let you fall away,
From me.
You will never fade.
And I won't let you fall away.
From me.
You will never fade away from me.

And now I let my dreams consume me,
And tell me what to think.
But hold on,
Hold on.
What am I dreaming?

Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
That I had it.
But I forget.

And I won't let you fall away,
From me.
You will never fade away.
I won't let you fall away.
You will never fade away.

And I won't let you fall away.
You will never fade away.
And I won't let you fall away from me,
You will never...

Oh star fall down on me.

Riot ! / June 12, 2007

For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic

Just talk yourself up
And tear yourself down
You've hit your one wall
Now find a way around
Well what's the problem?
You've got a lot of nerve


So what'd you think I would say?
No you can't run away, no you can't run away
So what did you think I would say?
No you can't run away, no you can't run away
You wouldn't


I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away


I'm not so naive
My sorry eyes can see
The way you fight shy
Of almost everything
Well, if you give up
You'll get what you deserve


So what'd you think I would say?
No you can't run away, no you can't run away
So what did you think I would say?
No you can't run away, no you can't run away
You wouldn't


I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away


You were finished long before
We had even seen the start
Why don't you stand up, be a man about it?
Fight with your bare hands about it now


I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay, well did you?
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away


I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away

That's What You Get

No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt, so much?


I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities where I was wrong


That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa


I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here
Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here
I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard


That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa


Pain, make your way to me, to me
And I'll always be just so inviting
If I ever start to think straight
This heart will start a riot in me
Let's start, start, hey!


Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?


That's what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa


That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa


Now I can't trust myself with anything but this
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

When It Rains

And when it rains,
On this side of town it toyeng, everything.
Just melon again and mean it.
We don't miss a thing.
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
And convinced yourself that
It's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore


And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
Oh, oh, I need the ending.
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain?


And when it rains,
You always find an escape
Just running away,
From all of the ones who love you,
From everything.
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
And you'll sleep 'til May
And you'll say that you don't not see the sun anymore


And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
And oh, oh, I need the ending.
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?


Take your time.
Take my time.


Take these chances to turn it around. (take your time)
Take these chances, we'll make it somehow
And take these chances to turn it around. (take my...)
Just turn it around.


Oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
Oh, oh I need an ending.
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain?


You can take your time, take my time

Let The Flames Begin

What a shame we all became such fragile, broken things.
A memory remains just a tiny spark.
I give it all my oxygen,
to let the flames begin.
to let the flames begin.


Oh, glory.
Oh, glory.
This is how we'll dance when,
When they try to take us down.
This is what we'll be.
Oh, glory.


Somewhere weakness is our strength,
And I'll die searching for it.
I can't let myself regret such selfishness.
My pain and all the trouble caused,
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope
Buried beneath it all and
Hiding beneath it all, and
Growing beneath it all, and...


This is how we'll dance when,
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing, oh
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down.
This is what will be.
Oh, glory.


Reaching as I sink down into light.
Reaching as I sink down into light.


This is how we'll dance when,
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing, oh
This is how we'll stand when,
When they burn our houses down.
This is what we'll be.
Oh, glory

Miracle

I've gone for too long
Living like I'm not alive
So I'm gonna start over tonight
Beginning with you and I


When this memory fades
I'm gonna make sure it's replaced
With chances taken, hope embraced
And have I told you


I'm not going
'Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you


We've learned to run from
Anything uncomfortable
We've tied our pain below
And no one ever has to know


That inside we're broken
I try to patch things up again
To calm my tears and kill these fears
But have I told you, have I


I'm not going
'Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you


It's not faith if
If you use your eyes
You'll lie
We'll get it right this time (This time)
Let's leave this all behind
Oh, I will get it right this time
It's not faith if you're using your eyes
Oh, I...


Well I've gone for too long
Living like I'm not alive
So I'm gonna start over tonight
Beginning with you and


I don't want to run from
Anything uncomfortable
I just want no
I just need this pain to end right here


I'm not going
'Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
'Cause it might save you


Yeah, it might save you
Oh, it might save you
It's not faith if you
If you use your eyes
If you use your eyes
If you use your eyes

Crushcrushcrush

I got a lot to say to you
Yeah, I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here
And it makes no sense at all


They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies


Crush
Crush
Crush
Crush, crush
(Two, three, four!)


Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two i was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than this


If you want to play it like a game
Well, come on, come on, let's play
Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute


They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies


Crush
Crush
Crush
Crush, crush
(Two, three, four!)


Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two i was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than this now


Rock and roll, baby
Don't you know that we're all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey (Hey!)
Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, Hey
Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?
Give me something to sing about


Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two i was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than this
No, oh


Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two I was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than
More than this

We Are Broken

I am outside, and I've been waiting for the sun, with my wide eyes.
I've seen worlds that don't belong, my mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize, tell me why we live like this?


Keep me safe inside, your arms like towers; tower over me.


Yeah, because we are broken. What must we do to restore our innocence and all the promise we adored? Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole.


Lock the doors, because I'd like to capture this voice, that came to me tonight, so everyone will have a choice and under red lights, I'll show myself it wasn't forged. We're at war, we live like this.


Keep me safe inside, your arms like towers; tower over me.


Because we are broken, what must we do to restore our innocence and all the promise we adored? Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole.


Tower over me, tower over me ...and I'll take the truth at any cost.


Because we are broken, what must we do to restore our innocence and all the promise we adored? Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole.

Fences

I'm sitting in a room,
Made up of only big white walls and in the halls
There are people looking through
The window in the door, and they know exactly what we're here for.


Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be.


You're always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from,
Don't you know by now,
You can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have.


And it's obvious that your dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night.
So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style.
You'll go out in style.


If you let me I could,
I'd show you how to build your fences,
Set restrictions, seprate from the world.
The constant battle that you hate to fight,
Just blame the limelight.


Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be.


And now you can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have.


And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night.
So smile.


Yeah, yeah you're asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in
Just breathe it in.
Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it.
I said let's see you walk it.


Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it.
I said let's see you walk it.


And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, yeah oh oh open wide.
Yeah, oh oh open wide,
'Cause you'll go out in style.
You'll go out in style

Born For This

Oh no I just keep on falling
(Back to the same old…)
Where’s hope when misery comes crawling?
(on my way-ay)
With your faith you’ll trigger a landslide
(victory)
To kill off this common sense of mine


It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine
You can’t down it with your eyes
So we don’t need the headlines
We don’t need the headlines
We just want…


(We want the airways back, we want the airways back)


Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?


Right now you’re the only reason
(I’m not letting go, oh…)
and im out if everyone’s worth pleasing
(wa ah)
You’ll trigger a landslide
(Victory)
to kill off their finite state of mind


It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine
You can’t down it with your eyes
So we don’t need the headlines
No, we don’t want your headlines
We just want…


(We want the airways back, we want the airways)


Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure?


Alright, so you think you’re ready?
Ok, then you say this with me
Go!
We were born for this
(We were born for this)
Alright, so you think you’re ready?
OK, then you say this with me
Go!
We were born for this
(We were born for this)
We were born for this
(We were born for this)


We were born for
We were born for


Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure now?
Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?


We were born for this
We were born for this
We were born for this
