Bronson 03:24
When everything you start just ends And you can't find a way to see, That all of these ends are the start Of what your life is meant to be. Hold fast and in time you will see, You'll be just fine. Give me a sign. Throw me a line. Don't be so blind. You're alive. Alive. Someday, you'll see, Your hope, fading faster. Hold tight, chin up. It's time to dodge disaster. Fighting doubts you thought you had vanquished, But you're still fighting. Don't you feel alive? Give me a sign. Throw me a line. Don't be so blind. You are alive. When everything you start just ends And you can't find a way to see, That all of these ends are the start Of what your life is meant to be. Hold fast and in time you will see, You'll be just fine. Give me a sign, Don't just leave me stranded. I'll hang on some more if you give me a sign. We've still got time, Don't just leave me stranded. I've still got some strength if you show me the light. Never thought that this would change me. But I believe, I believe it now. Never thought that this would change me, But I believe it now. Never thought that this would change change me, But I believe, I believe it now. And even as my strength is fading, I believe it now.

They Live 01:34
For all the things you won't become. And all the things you've left undone, To reach your early ending. How long did you try? For all the hope you tore apart. And all the times you had no heart, To stop, your early ending... How long did you try? Now I can't keep my peace. When they're staring back at me, No, they cannot stop from fleeing now, that we know, They only exist to twist, and to break us down. They only exist to twist, and to break us down. Hoping to find the answer to the hole in your chest. Maybe you'll find the reason for your emptiness. What will it take to make you happy? And would you even care? What will it take to make you happy? Why should we even care?

RocknRolla 03:56
I find that the freedom of the road, It served me best. And I've come to find that I, Can hit the ground running, So climb high and strive, For the road that serves you best. Always reaching for something out of sight. And even with these things you try to break me, But I'm holding on. For how long I don't know. And you so selfishly say, That you can change me. And so you helplessly break, All the bonds that chain me. I find that the freedom of the road, It served me best. And I've come to find that I, Can hit the ground running, So climb high and strive, For the road that serves you best. Always reaching for something out of sight. Always reaching for something I can't find. We wear these expectations on our shoulders, But we won't show it. No, we'll never show it. And I know we're fool hearty at best. But how could you expect anything less? (I'm always reaching for something I can't find) I find that the freedom of the road, It served me best. And I've come to find that I, Can hit the ground running, So climb high and strive, For the road that serves you best. Always reaching for something out of sight. Always reaching for something I can't, That I can't find.

Sleepers 03:37
You say; These words, They should come out so naturally Seeing as you've have all this time To sharpen, and rehearse these lines. These lines. Between the lies and hopes for happy endings, I think it's time we stop pretending, That it can't go wrong. It can all go wrong. It's in the way we handle all the let downs. Keep jumping in, and try not to drown, In these dreadful odds. These stack up odds, we have here. And how long until we can get out of here? How long will we live in fear? You say; These thoughts, You should hold them so hopelessly, Knowing that when you talk about it, Most people think you've just gone mad. Gone mad. But I say, it's time we start believing in something, Different, bigger, and more rewarding, Than only looking out for yourself. Looking out for yourself. And how long until we can get out of here? How long will we live in fear, Of holding on so hopefully, To the things we feel but we can't see? Or live in fear of hope. And I believe for one. I believe in something, So much bigger than This world we all live in. So I'll keep holding on To the words that I've written Prove us wrong they said, So I am. Holding on so hopefully To the things we feel but we can't see, Or hold, or hope to know the difference. And how long will we live in fear? Of holding on so hopefully, To the things we feel but we can't see? Or live in fear of hope.

Wanderlust 03:04
All your words, And memories, I've been holding on, so desperately. While all these roads, And melodies, We keep riding on, so recklessly. And I realize that I can't blame you, For giving up some days. It's what I hope to find, For yours, and mine. I know we can't lose sight, We'll get this right. I know you'll try, To keep me high. All your words, And memories, I've been holding on, so desperately, While all these roads, And melodies, We keep riding on, so recklessly. And I realize that I can't blame you, For giving up some days. It's what I hope to find, For yours and mine. Look what we've left behind. All signs of a normal life. We still have ties that bind. Look what we've left behind. And I realize that I can't blame you. All your words, And memories, I've been holding on, so desperately, While all these roads, And melodies, We keep riding on, so recklessly.

I can't seem to keep you off my mind, And it's the first time, In a long time. That I stop to think, On what I'll miss, If I don't follow through with you right now. You set me up to fall, Mislead me. Fill my head with doubt, I don't know how, It got this way but I know, It's coming back around. Cast me aside, Just like your pride. And tell me why you still, Hide behind those pictures? And I know I'm one to talk, But if you just give up, Then this was all for nothing. We still got something here. It feels like I woke up four years later, And I'm the only one whose changed. All of those who've loved and lost, Maybe I just stayed the same. And if I hold my breathe, Maybe if I walked away, We could sing this song at the top of our lungs, And things would be ok. You tell me, Nothings gonna be the same, When I'm away. Things won't change, I'm always gonna be this way. Don't tell me, Nothings gonna be the same, When I'm away. Things won't change, I'm always gonna be this way.

Can you hear me? Can you hear me through your walls and all of your self destruction? You and I, we're right back where we started years ago And just like then, I'm talking to the wall At this point, I'm rehearsing all the lines That I've been using on you to defend this all the time My life, and what I hope to find Can you hear me ? Can you hear me through your walls and all of your self destruction? Can you hear me? Can you just get near me? So I know for once that you're really listening I, I'm taking my time No, I'm not slowing down Just making sure it's right Doing the best that I can You and I, we're right back where we started years ago And just like then, I'm talking to the wall About life, and what I hope to find Can you hear me? Can you hear me through your walls and all these preconceived notions? Don't let me knock you off your throne You've got it so together Your life, and what you hope to find Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me through your walls and all of your self destruction? Can you hear me? Can you just get near me? So I know for once that you're really listening

Equilibrium 03:39
Quit saying that you can't do better. We know you can. We'll hold out or all fall together. Let's try again. He said; Don't think I'm not consumed by it. I had a path but now I'll never fit. These dreams and aspirations, Use to make them all so proud, Now they're half a world away, But I can't ever wear a frown. I'll try and hold inside the things, That show a weaker man, Deep down. Quit saying that you can't do better. We know you can. We'll hold out or all fall together. Let's try again. He said; It's fair to say that I'm a pessimist. It's the way in which these fears, They seem to stick. All these honest faces, Seem to give such clouded truths. I've been forming my opinion, Out of someone else's views. Hanging on to all their words, It keeps you blinded and closed minded. Quit saying that you can't do better. We know you can. We'll hold out or all fall together. Let's try again. Hanging on to all their words, It keeps you blinded and closed minded.

The Terminal 03:26
Who's to say you're to far away, To say goodbye in your own words. I just want you to take your time. You left to find your own way, But after 7 days, I'll have to say, That you'll end up hating this. Metaphors are only just words. Can't you see what you've done to me? I'm far too gone, I'm losing sleep. I've abandoned all thoughts On this belief. You left me here at the terminal, With my heart in my hands, Without any plans of ever coming back. All I want is to say, That I know that I, Have made mistakes. And know that I can change. And I won't lie, to you again, I hope you find yourself in the end. No, you're not coming back. Metaphors are only just words. Can't you see what you've done to me? I'm far too gone, I'm losing sleep. I've abandoned all thoughts On this belief. You left me here at the terminal, With my heart in my hands, Without any plans of ever coming back.

Waiting 03:16
Tonight, I feel like it's all been over. I'm stuck behind, These cruel thoughts plague the back of my mind. Being left behind. Tonight, I'm fighting to get back control of my life, The one that's been siphoned through all of these vices. You keep me hanging on. Even though I know it's wrong. Keep tearing down all of my own ambition. I'm stuck behind these fake views of this life. Leading me blind and completely stuck in my addictions, How could I have been so blind? You keep me hanging on. Even though I know it's wrong. You keep saying that you want to feel alive, But now, you know what I've learned, From all these empty moments, Is that life never stops, And we're being left behind. Tonight I know it's finally over. No longer stuck behind, All these cruel thoughts in my mind. What I could do with just a few more moments where, I'm not battling myself. What I would do with just a few more moments where I'm not battling myself. You keep me hanging on. Even though I know it's wrong. I can't seem to, put a date on when I, Started losing touch but now, It seems I've regained my grip. You keep me hanging on. Even though I know it's wrong. You keep saying that you want to feel alive, But now, you know what I've learned, From all these empty moments, Is that life never stops, And we're being left behind. You keep me hanging on.
