Twist the Knife
Every time you fell
It was me who picked you up
And here we are again
But I'm the one who's down
Every time you called
I was waiting by your side
Only time will tell
If I've wasted my time
Can't get away
Numb to the pain
It's much too late
Twist the knife in my chest
As I take my last breath
All this time I never left
But you turned out like all the rest
Did you get what you needed
Before you threw me away
Do you get to sleep at night
Knowing what you've done
If only I could see
That you'd do this to me
I would've left you in the dark
To show you how it feels

Eye For An Eye

Eye for an Eye
You don’t care what I have to say
You won’t give me the time of day
You can’t have it any other way
(You wanted everything)
Turn a blind eye to the fire
To save what you desire
But you know that you’re a liar
(The blood is on your hands)
Eye for an eye
Blind lead the blind
Running out of time to save yourself
You reach into the flame
Your spoils you reclaim
But you’ll suffer just the same
(Why don’t you understand?)
You thought that this would last
Shatter the hourglass
But your time has come to pass
(Your perfect world is burning)

Walk Into The Light

Walk Into the Light
All these years you’ve spent
Held by the chains that bind you
You run from all your fears
Still they find you
Every time you turn around
They’re right behind you
Is your heart still beating?
Are your scars still bleeding?
Is your fire still burning?
Did you stop believing?
The weight of all your guilt
Was more than you could take
They said you’d never be
More than the sum of your mistakes
So look them in the eye
And tell them it’s not over
Open up the door and walk into the light
Don’t let yourself go down without a fight

Peripheral
Can you smell the sulfur in the air?
Do you feel the flames at your feet?
Did you notice that your shadow follows you?
Throw off those chains that are binding you
You see a shadowy figure
Out of the corner of your eye
Shift your gaze
And it is gone from sight
Well, you could laugh and pretend it isn’t there
But just know that will not get you anywhere
And now what is that that’s crouching at your door
It’s something that you’d be wise not to ignore
This time by fire

Explain It Away

Explain It Away
You tempt me with your crazy fantasies
That go against all I’ve ever known
I’ve worked for everything that I have
And I know that nothing in this life is free
There’s no grace, only leverage
And love is a chemical
And heaven’s a construct
To cope with your inconsequential life
And inevitable death
I know we’re bound to this Earth
But I don’t know why
And every star collapses in time
But why?
You claim to have no faith
But how many of life’s mysteries lie unsolved?
I’m sure that you’ll find a way
To explain it away
You plead lack of evidence
Say I have the burden of proof
But isn’t existence enough?
Science explains the how and no why
Some phenomena can’t be explained
And truth can be hard to see
But I’m not one to leave stones unturned
Then claim to know everything

All Of My Memories

All of My Memories
It hasn't been the same since you've been gone
It's only been 2 years but it feels so long
Since I saw you smile, since I heard you cry
I still wonder why
The leaves fell down all around me
The stars stopped shining down on me
I still wonder if you can see
That you're in all of my memories
I'm still waiting for you to walk through the door
And I just can't take this anymore
Why'd you have to go, couldn't you have stayed
To wipe my tears away

Ignition
(Verse 1)
I didn't know what to say
To get me through the day
And after all, if these walls could talk
They might just sing
(Pre chorus)
I turned the key in the ignition
And said goodbye to all the pain
Was it worth it in the end?
(Chorus 1)
This is your life
Live it right
It's not over till it's over
And you're not done yet
(Verse 2)
I left the radio on
Another couple of songs
I heard somebody say lift up your face
And saw the sun shine down
(Prechorus)
(Chorus 2)
This is the time
The time of my life
I don't want to look away
And miss the moment

I Can't Be The One

I Can’t Be The One
I’m content, I am at peace
I don’t expect anything
I don’t get the way you look at me
As if I owe you something
Your opinion of me is not my responsibility
I can’t reach the standards that you have set for me
But you know that I’d be whatever you want me to be
Whatever you need me to be
If I could
But your perception of me is not a reality
I can’t be the one that you want me to be
The one you expect me to be
Just trust that if you could see what I see
You’d know that it’s not meant to be
And if you need a savior, don’t look at me
‘Cause I’m not the one who died on that tree
But if you need a friend I could keep you company
But don’t bother if you’re just using me
You look around yourself and no one hears your cry
And in an open sea you’re not the only one who’s sinking
I’m content, I am at peace
I don’t expect anything

Lost Time
07:56

I'll tell you what
It doesn't get a lot better than this
If I were you
I'd cut your losses, tell your boss you quit
We've got the time
And you know I've got a little money
If we run out
At least you know they'll catch us running
We gotta get going
Before the going gets tough
We gotta leave today
If we wanna make it home tonight
It's time to make up for lost time
'Cause paying for gas just ain't enough
We're broke but at least we're breaking down
Instead of saving up to stay in this old town
(It's time to make up for lost time)
(We're broke but at least we're breaking down)
Is it enough
To say it would be nice
To have it all
And then we never really try?
What if we died
Without knowing what it's like
To have a dream
And then watch it come to life?
We can't get younger
We're just growing old
It's been a long day
But it's gonna be a longer night
If we don't make up for lost time
'Cause paying for gas just ain't enough
We're broke but at least we're breaking down
Instead of saving up to stay in this old town
Why should we have to wait
For our time to come?
I can't wait another day
I've got to know
If we're just wasting time
On broken dreams
There's only one way to find out

New Day
04:44
|

|
Enamored by the smoke and mirrors
You’ve found yourself misguided
Now cold, alone, and in the dark
Without warning, oh so scared
If you cannot seem to find the will to move on
I understand, know that you’re not alone
Try not to look back or you might get caught in the past
Keep your focus on where you are headed
And if you stumble, fall, get knocked down, stressed, or overwhelmed
Know that there’s a light at the end of this tunnel
The light of a brand new day
At times it’s hard to see the forest for the trees
Hard to see past this suffering
And if it seems there’s no wind left in your sails
Redirect your course and you’ll find
Fighting the wind left you stranded in open waters
Now that you’ve turned, it will carry you home
Don’t lose hope, don’t give up now
Though thunder is roaring loudly
Go through the eye of the storm
Soon now, you will reach the shore
