Overrated 03:17
Play the victim a cog in the system your drugs, your drama they're causing your problems you crave attention no matter the measure so numb your body we're late for the party don't say you've never tried it 'cause I think that you'd kinda like it and I know that you want it too.. hold still and take the picture i know you feel the vigor and i know that you want it too treat life like a waiting room 'cause heavens coming soon and love is overrated lets sedate our budding youth a shelter from the truth 'cause life is overrated don't try to fight just let it over take you and I know that you want it too don't try to fight just let the poison take you and i know that you want it too I know you want it i know you need i don't want to I've got to

Sparks 04:08
You're the spark I need Ignite the fumes inside my heart You flipped a switch in me and lit it up for all to see You're the spark I need You pump the life back to my soul You redefine meaning You redefined what I believe Then you walked into the door You saved my wretched life You saved what little was left In me You rain a shower of sparks You lit my darkest life You saved what little was left In me You're the spark I need Enough to cure whats ailing me You're sent to save my life A second chance is what you bring You're the spark I need Before the darkness covers me You came to shed some light Bright enough so I could see Then you walked into the door You saved my wretched life You saved what little was left In me You rain a shower of sparks You lit my darkest life You saved what little was left In me You're the sunrise To my dark night Would you light me up? You're the bright light The door to the next life Light me up You're the sunrise To the night skies Would you light me up? You're the bright light To the next life Would you light me up? You're the sunrise You're the bright light

Stage Fright 04:51
A light that teases through reveals the crowded room the curtains purpose, tried and true Behind it only me not ready, not willing I can't afford to lose this part of me So in the dark, I'll be Play us the song you've left undone Sing us the words you've left unsung Why are you standing on this stage if all these lines are sentenced to these page five to the four to the three, two, one you're on The lions caged and caught He says speak from the heart speak up before they stand leave you The ticking never stops The enemy's the clock So sing before they find somebody else 'cause in the dark I'm free So in the dark, I'll be In the light I know the crowd will see right through me Play us the song you've left undone Sing us the words you've left unsung Why are you standing on this stage if all these lines are sentenced to these page five to the four to the three, two, one you're on When I start to believe just how this goes my doubt seems to find me, so I Seek the silent approval of the ghost the one only I see and I Always thought that approval was enough to fill and define me find me so I So I walk off the stage right here alone, the place only I know I'm free The curtains closed When it opens I'll be gone

Let Go 03:39
maybe we should take tonight get off the grid just you and I to chase the light maybe we could fall in love again maybe we would feel alive forget our problems and pretend you and I are the only ones left here so just let go we could lay in the darkness lit by starlight and our intentions so just let go of the very things that divide us so that we can come together so just let go we could stay here forever Share your dreams with me tonight Remember all the things you loved when you were young all the thoughts you swore you’d never misplace could you kiss me to revive could you slow this ticking time a threat divine Maybe we could fall in love and just let go Never wanting more than this Remember why we can’t resist Remember why can’t forget That you and I belong that this It could go on and on and on so just let go

Blame 05:52
The winner stays A hand is raised You claim the throne you claim the spoils you claim the balance, own the bruise A trust that shadows You never learn You never trust Defensive hearts Defensive thrusts will keep you safe and sound tonight While the darkness holds the light A fathers demons cast you down Down to the gallows Could you tell me something Give me something to believe Cause I need something to hold on You’re the one who said I would walk away and go And your surprised I’m trying to leave Lock the doors Draw the shades Provide the look The one that got us here today My only crutch my only bane And who’s to blame Well guide the way Spell it out You paint the portrait, You choose the colors, mount the frame You bid me out to flaunt your pain Your fathers demons cast you down, down to the gallows Ya I said it And I meant it I’d do right by you And you can blame me For all the same things All I couldn’t do Don’t you think it’s ‘cause I loved you, I loved you more than that All you couldn’t say, I hoped you’d do. So I’m going and your coming And I’m coming a and your going coming, going, coming Could you tell me something Give me something to believe Cause I need something to hold on You’re the one who said I would walk away and go And your surprised I’m trying to leave Never did I want to leave I can’t control your silent plea’s And I can’t control you I can’t control you Trust me, I tried to Never did I want to leave I can’t condone your violent needs And I can’t control you I can’t console your silent plea’s I can’t control you

Be Here 04:25
We’re taking this to slow So take my hand, it’s time to go it’s, time to find out what tonight is for. The burdens that you hold The penance that, is taking hold can wait tonight your mind needs a vacation You want this or you don’t All his faults They tie the string They guarantee They capture Can you look me in the eyes And can you tell me that you’re love’s a lie So stop saving yourself From saving yourself and Save yourself. Is it To much Did the Stockholm Syndrome ruin us and how could we become the ones we hated? When’s enough? Could I declare my love and lust and make tonight be all ours for the taking You want this or you don’t Don’t deny I am the one No matter what He has done. Can you look me in the eyes And can you tell me that you’re love’s a lie So stop saving yourself From saving yourself and Save yourself. I know You can see Be here now Be with me. Can you look me in the eyes And can you tell me that you’re love’s a lie So stop saving yourself From saving yourself and Save yourself.

Devil 04:42
I gotta go I need a change I think that I should leave I'll get my stuff and pack my bags and give you back your things It's not enough Don't talk me down Don't try and beg or plead We tried our best, so calm yourself You're better off with out me The end is all the same Insecurity and shame I trade it for the pain I do it to myself, before somebody else So get up and go I gotta know I need to see I need to comprehend How do I live Without the voice the Devil in my head He says "You're done" "DONE!" "Don't even try, just let it settle in." To be alone, or be in pain, the ladder seems to never win In pieces once again A curse that always wins Don't let the Devil in. I do it to myself, before somebody else, so get up, get up and go. The devil knocks and I pretend I'm dead When I"m asleep he'll infiltrate my head again. He invites all of his friends to stay and play So when I wake I lock the doors again. So no one can get in In pieces once again So no one can get in Don't let nobody in 'cause the dreams will start again. Don't let the Devil In.. I do it to myself, before somebody else, so get up, get up and go.

Waves 05:22
The wave up ahead it grows as it billows in taunting me again A stones throw away my girl looks at me to say "everything's ok" ok.. It's only just a dream Is it real Is it fake I can't quite explain, all the warnings I create Is it god Is it faith the wave, never falls, never crashes when I sleep just when I wake Run my darling It's close to falling It's frozen in time Suspended my crimes are judged Only I can judge judge me. Is it real Is it fake I can't quite explain, all the warnings I create Is it god Is it faith the wave, never falls, never crashes when I sleep just when I wake Will we die Can I save you and I will we know will we swim if it swallows Will we die Can I save you and I will we fight, to survive Will we fight for our lives Silent frame the image is froze A calmness comes over us both She did stay embraced me with fear could this be the ending my dear?

Thrown 06:42
This throne of ours we share has crumbled Once a titan built to scape the coward skies A diet crack cast through the heavens and opened up the stillest night. And cast us away. This innocence we’ve shared is done for. We lost a friend her soul is thrown towards the skies and so with hands to eyes, heads down to humble acknowledge not our inner cries we’re cast away (Chorus) Can we avoid tomorrow If we turn our back on today The tide is getting higher Do we set the sails or remain A cast away. This throne of ours we share has crumbled And honest company is doing more than fine The first to break, care take, and stumble Defibrillates the pain inside and casts us away (Chorus) War is war and love is love and damage done is damage done We shook a fist and shipped a toast towards the skies While our innocence was laid to rest Are we old enough to forget what we know To forget that the pain is an etch in the stone could you steady your hand as to straighten the stitch so the scars will fade quick When we were young and in love with the thought That the world it was ours That it spun around us Could you steady your hand as to straighten the stitch so the scars will fade quick (on my own, i’ll do it again, i’ll do it until we’re gone) Set the sails and come with me i’d rather die out there upon the sea Set the sails up to the sky I’d rather sink than wait until we die The only way is through the storm So lets survive and show her who we are Lets survive and show her who we are I am overwhelmed so I will send my final toast Its maybe not the best we take our chances on our own ‘Cause i’m not the one not the one who can see Brothers I am battered I am beaten I am broke And at times it feels I’m out here on my own ‘Cause i’m not the one not the one who can see I know that feels that we’re abandoned from this earth Just waiting on the boat to take us back into our lives “Cause i’m not the one not the one who can piece you whole tonight.
