In the morning, Will you take stock of your life? As you walk alone beneath an empty sky Do you grasp at straws And try to fill this hole? When you sing it back, Are you conscious of your own voice? You've got your life, I've got mine. Woah it's over, With a cry of desperation, Woah it's over, It's your last transmission, Woah it's over, With a cry of desperation, Woah it's over, It's your last transmission. When there's nothing left Just to keep your story straight Where will you find that credit that you take? And behind your back everybody knows the truth And the only one who still believes is you You've got your life, I've got mine Woah it's over, With a cry of desperation, Woah it's over, It's your last transmission, Woah it's over, With a cry of desperation, Woah it's over, It's your last transmission. You know you know, That I'll take it easy on you. You know you know, That you're just like me. You know you know, That I'll take it easy on you. You know you know, That you're just like me. Woah it's over, With a cry of desperation, Woah it's over, it's your last transmission, Woah it's over, With a cry of desperation, Woah it's over, It's your last transmission, It's your last transmission

Hey Anhedonia, the doctors said you made it out alive You left California, the skeletons, and city lights on the 405 And hey true believer When will you put your guns into the ground (Guns into the ground) There's no rest for the wicked Until we pull these towers down on hallowed ground You're all alone to face the world Cuz I fell through And you're all alone until I face the truth And this is your one last chance to run away (Baby give me one more minute) And you're scared of the truth and I know it From the weight of the promises broken And this is your one last chance to run away (Baby give me one more minute) We can run but we'll never escape it When all the roads lead us to home (I can't make it alone) And hey California, How long before you sink into the sea And drown all the liars Who told us what we'd never be Baby stay unseen And hey lone survivor Was it worth the blood you had to spill? (Blood you had to spill) With hearts cold and empty We're never gonna see the dawn after all we've killed Until our hunters' hearts are still And this is your one last chance to run away (Baby give me one more minute) And you're scared of the truth and I know it From the weight of the promises broken And this is your one last chance to run away (Baby give me one more minute) We can run but we'll never escape it When all the roads lead us to home (But I can't make it alone) And it's amazing The fire you'll walk through When everything's so far gone Somehow you stand true And I can't feel a thing There's only you And the pain in your eyes Will pull me through So, hey California And this is your one last chance to run away (Baby give me one more minute) And you're scared of the truth and I know it From the weight of the promises broken And this is your one last chance to run away We can run but we'll never escape it When all of the roads lead us home But I promise this time that we'll make it There's only a few left to go But I can't make it alone

She was a girl lost on top of the world Her friends lived on pages and screens She'd smile and she'd laugh as she kept up the act And traded her sunshine for trees But a heart still as winter, unbroken but splintered Made her whole world come undone But this twilight can't last , and the days fade so fast To a total eclipse of the sun (A total eclipse of the sun) Stop my heart Dance with me now and forever, just don't let this end Stop my heart Take this life Make me cold as ice He was alone with a heart made of stone He kept the whole world out of sight He'd watch from afar while he burned like a star Lost in an October sky But the speed he was turning could not stop his burning so tied to the fragile and frail So he crashed to the Earth in a fiery rebirth And no one around him could tell (No one around him could tell) I see you Right through you

As I wait here by the phone I am blinded, deaf, and forgotten And I'll stay this way And everything's coming undone Now the day's turning to night And night is empty without you And these ghosts in my room are so loud that I'll never sleep here again Come home Come home I can't do this without you I wish I had a voice To carry you home I wish I had a voice When I try, the worlds fall dead from my mouth I wish I had a voice to carry you home I wish I had a voice Now the words are the flags that we fly As our ships are passing at midnight As we sail away, the last thing that anybody hears is our wake The wrong words cut to the bone And the right words could move the mountains Then why can't I say what I mean when you hang on everything I can't find the words Screams that go unheard Every line is lost and I'm choking No one hears a thing As we shift unseen Blurring into one And we all sing I am the fields and forests I am the rain I'm the setting sun When the winter's done But this time I won't have to keep this silence cause I finally found a voice And I won't be the one that has to say I wish I had a voice

I've been saving all my best lies just for you And you've been waiting for an honest answer And I've committed every crimson crime To prove there's no redemption for the wicked And I'm sick (sick to death) and I can't get well And I can't feel a thing and they still can't tell That I'm falling apart and I need their help To breathe All we have is truth This is my masterplan A declaration of war against forever This is my masterplan A campaign to set the world on fire I'm so lost I can't see the bottom I'll shoot first so I'm not forgotten And this is my masterplan I've been running from the only thing that's true And you're the devil at my heels, gunslinger And I've been chasing every dead end dream of you Without reason there's no salvation And I'm so far from home and I'm out of air And the cables that tie me to you aren't there And I'm falling to Earth and I can't breathe All we have is truth All we have All we have And I will be the last alive To stand beneath a ruined sky And finally I'll understand that I want them back
