I had a chance to live inside of a moment You had a chance to start another life And then I saw that you were drifting way too far away to bring you back in sight And then I found that you were halfway out the door and slowly leaving with the tide I say that we are the fallen I say that we are forgotten Suddenly you're breaking down the person I'm becoming (my safety gone with time) You're making me believe I am the victim Not enough for a whisper, its encased in your lies When will forgiveness come? I get the feeling I could light a fire inside this room and let it spread outside I get the feeling I could put this gun up to your head and make you lose your mind I say that we are the fallen I say that we are forgotten Suddenly you're breaking down the person I'm becoming (My safety gone with time) You're making me believe I am the victim Not enough for a whisper, its encased in your lies When will forgiveness come?

Like Smoke 02:49
Take it back to the times we had when the world was smaller and our dreams had magic left When did it all get forgotten? We grow up and tell ourselves that we can get it back, yeah we can get it back on track But will our sins be forgiven? We live, we cry, we hurt, we lie, we learn, we try, we know, that we all die Why is it always someone you know that hurts you the most? They hurt you the most Why can't we just give up our ghosts? Make vanish like smoke Vanish like smoke Take it back to the times we had when the people cared about themselves a little less When did the love get forgotten? We grow up and tell ourselves that we did everything right, everything right Will our mistakes be forgiven? We live, we cry, we hurt, we lie, we learn, we try, we know that we'll survive Why is it always someone you know that hurts you the most? They hurt you the most Why can't we just give up our ghosts? Make vanish like smoke Vanish like smoke And you can never see it Never see it coming So you look away instead And can never see them Never see em leaving Til they're gone and leave so far away. Far away

It's time to be who I'm supposed to To love the way I used to To open up my chest and breathe you into me It's time to be the one you've waited for Finally I ignore I see that I have found the one I know I need Let's be honest, we still have time We'll get beyond this if you just try You gave me everything I could be But I threw it away and now only you can save me from myself Inside, my hardened heart is failing I'm begging you to take me I promise you I'll never stray away again This time I'll show you that it's better I'll show you its forever I'll show you I'm the one on who you can depend

The Only Way 03:36
I've fallen further down I can't find the way out I've given it all away To be close to you now No I don't want another not forever No I won't take a chance on any other No I don't want another not forever No I won't, never again You say it's the only way We could get our hands on yet another chance Some day you say you'll stay Will I ever be the reason that it's all okay? So take a walk with me along this open road We'll see things we've never seen And go where? We don't know No I don't want another not forever No I won't take a chance on any other No I don't want another not forever No I won't, never again

If you could just let down your guard you'd know that you were wrong Every day we spent making it worse, yeah you were making it worse I can see the fault was yours and yours alone Your excuses all sound over-rehearsed, over-rehearsed. We are patterns in the static We are the ghost in this machine We're out of sequence and erratic Among these ruins we are kings At first I thought I'd found someone who understood But miles and trials would prove beginning of the end, beginning of the end It took me all this time to learn you're so out of control You're not the one I knew, but never again, won't happen ever again no. We are patterns in the static We are the ghost in this machine We're out of sequence and erratic Among these ruins we are kings

I cannot let go of this fear Sometimes I feel like I have slept through all these years And I am stuck, yes stuck, right here But I'll be fighting through the pain until I'm home with you my dear Rest, just rest Its okay, you'll be fine You just need a little time To get yourself right Now I'm holding on too hard And I am aching from the scars I need some time to get myself right Let go, of all you're clinging onto Free yourself from what binds you binds you to the floor Take back all the things you're used to Whatever you belong to and just walk out the door Rest, just rest

You said "go and do what you want" And I did A lot of good it did me The end still came on strong for both of us It's never how hard we fall, it's how we rebuild ourselves again (I'm singing whoa) Calling all the victims out You're on the spot now stand and make amends Before our hearts die young Pride is all I feel tonight, and so I ask myself" is this the end?" I know you would run away, suddenly If I tried to wash away the colors of your beauty Don't you dare back down, I'm a little too late But you've lost your will to fight for us Don't you dare back down when holding your own Even if it's against me all along When you say, "time waits for no one", exceptions apply to you Learning what to burn and what to love is more than Ican realize without a wound to cauterize There's a lot to live for (woah oh) It's a lot to fight for, let it go Don't you dare back down, I'm a little too late But you've lost your will to fight for us Don't you dare back down when holding your own Even if it's against me all along Why do we fear? The road to clarity haunts us Standing one by one The road to justice is twice as hard What do we hear? I stand alone in silence and find myself singing "whoa"
9.
This time I can't decide to follow I'm feeling far too hollow I don't know who I am inside Inside there's nothing I can cling to No one that I belong to I need to be with you tonight Cuz we are too bright to be burnt down Too strong to be pushed out Of this same old town And we are so high above their doubt Too strong to be strung out In this same damn town Tonight will be the end of this life Will be the final goodbye I killed it cuz I know it's right My mind is my escape from seeing It's my escape from breathing It's only what I want inside Cuz we are too bright to be burnt down Too strong to be pushed out Of this same old town And we are so high above their doubt Too strong to be strung out In this same damn town My face bloodied, its numb and shaking from the bite of cold concrete My arms are aching as I pull myself to my feet And shape my hands into a fist that they should meet. (come down on me, take it out on me)

All this time, this wasted life, this poor excuse for progress You've gotta get, get out of your head You've gotta let, let go of regrets and take a deep, deep breath and let it out slowly Can I find someone who cares? For everything you ever did or put me through And all the times I ever was reminded You should know it's always coming back to you This gun is loaded Finally I have what I looked for in you And never do I want you in my memories This gun is loaded All my life I killed my mind with dreams of fame and glory You've gotta let, let go of regrets and take a deep, deep breath and let it out slowly Can I find someone to listen? Can I find someone who cares? Can I find somewhere to rest where I know I am home Can I find some other reason to forget all this treason, and rest in a place I am home? For everything you ever did or put me through And all the times I ever was reminded You should know its always coming back to you This gun is loaded Finally I have what I looked for in you And never do I want you in my memories This gun is loaded I wish I never had tried I wish I never had tried to see Cuz now my feelings have died And you're still waiting in line for me

Oh no, go slow, gotta get away from all of the waste in this life, the dark in this light Be still, until, I can get a hold of everything that I feel. I can't tell if this is real. Is it real? I hope you're happy you betrayed us all I hope she makes you forget, all the moments you spent I hope you're happier without us all Because you deserve to know Just what it's like to be alone Breathe in, feel it, gotta find a way to keep the anger away, the worst things I could say I can't see clearly, trying to decide how to live in between The silence is deafening I hope you're happy you betrayed us all I hope she makes you forget, all the moments you spent I hope you're happier without us all Because you deserve to know Just what it's like to be alone How could you go and leave your own You had to know you left your own

I gave my life to the road, to cities stages and dreams It's all I know I reinvent and explore the world I've been fighting for I've learned to let go of the feeling that anywhere but this highway can be home I remember the California sun beyond the first horizon I remember the nights on fire, the way she felt, that perfect motion I remember the days we lost the nights we won the eastern ocean I almost forgot who I was and how it feels to breathe The world is ours tonight the noise the light Don't ever let them tell you who to be And we will play these roles together with your hand in mine. Ignite. Let it react and expand: this life they can't understand We're not going to let the fire inside die Living this life is surreal, is the real life we've been waiting for I remember the California sun beyond the first horizon I remember the nights on fire, the way she felt, that perfect motion I remember the days we lost the nights we won the eastern ocean I almost forgot who I was and how it feels to breathe The world is ours tonight the noise the light Don't ever let them tell you who to be We can never know, we can never see anything that's coming for us So we always live alone, always bleed alone til the end

Lay down your arms Embrace the rhythm of the wake before you crash. The life that you lead will take its place around us We live, we live, we live to survive it You play the game so well even though it never was truly real. You burn the pages rather than learning from you faults Composing volumes for disaster Break the cycle, you're a cancer Break the cycle, never again Doubtful dreaming burning ever slowly Cigarettes last much longer than you my dear Lay down your arms Embrace the rhythm of the wake before you crash. The life that you lead will take its place around us We live, we live, we live to survive Break the cycle, you're a cancer Break the cycle, never again Doubtful dreaming burning ever slowly Cigarettes last much longer than you It's hard to say that you convinced me "Us against the world" is nothing but a trap that you set to capture my mind. And to put us in line I've seen it all before Desperate just breathe
