Save Me 03:36
lyrics

My eyes are shut Still I lay awake Thinking of all my past mistakes What will it take? What will it take to get some rest I hear footsteps behind me I see a darkness around me The shadows slowly surround me I feel like I’m drowning It takes over me I feel like I’m drowning I close my eyes and pray That I won’t be left alone That you’ll be there to guide me Away from this nightmare Save me From all the voices in my head (The conversation never seems to change when we’re okay) In my head, In my head (The conversation left the moment that you walked away) Save me before it is too late (The conversation never seems to change when we’re okay) I’m going insane, I’m going insane (The conversation left the moment that you walked away) Lately Ive been thinking about you Trying to understand you Even though it feels wrong (Even though it feels wrong) Save me From all the voices in my head (The conversation never seems to change when we’re okay) In my head, In my head (The conversation left the moment that you walked away) Save me before it is too late (The conversation never seems to change when we’re okay) I’m going insane, I’m going insane (The conversation left the moment that you walked away) Lately Ive been thinking about you Trying to understand you Even though it feels wrong Even though it feels wrong

Burn 03:42

Hey, hello old friend Do you remember when, Our lives did not get in the way? We used to be so wild and free Hard to believe we barely speak The door that’s closed Can be opened anytime It just takes some effort, And seeing all the signs Maybe if I scream it then you’ll realize I try Even though it seems pointless, Because you’re already gone. You said that you’d be there You said we would be friends You’re too far to really try Now I don’t see you I feel like I need you You’re too far too realize The clock is ticking We still have time We still can fix it Only if we try When a wolf is alone a lone wolf is born When a wolf is alone a lone wolf is born You said that you’d be there You said we would be friends You’re too far to really try Now I don’t see you I feel like I need you You’re too far too realize You’re too far too realize Your absence in my life Hurts like hell So fuck it let it burn Let it burn Let it burn So fuck it let it burn Let the ashes fade away Let the ashes fade away

Rebuild 03:32
lyrics

Why does everybody want to watch me fall? Entitled to the world, but do nothing at all Always judging as they sit on their thrones It's never enough, and its why we feel alone. When I was young They used to say, "You can’t do things Any other way." So I tried to build a structure To support the weight of the Others I once knew. Keep in mind I fell for it to many times I need to rewind I need to leave it all behind I need to build to rebuild (Rebuild) I fell for it too many times I need to rewind I need to leave it all behind I need to build to rebuild We've lost everything From the world we once knew Its been so long I can breath again The air weight, Weighs me down. Can I stand stall? Like the structure You killed. I say it’s time to rebuild. Keep in mind I fell for it to many times I need to rewind I need to leave it all behind I need to build to rebuild (Rebuild) I fell for it too many times I need to rewind I need to leave it all behind I need to build to rebuild I need to leave it all behind I need to build to rebuild I need to build to rebuild You have no choice but to: "Grow up and be someone." Well, what the fuck have you become? "Get a job" "Buy a home" Live long and die alone? Die alone Die alone

We Are The Ones 03:46
lyrics

The world’s upside down (The world’s upside down) It’s all filled with nonsense (It’s all filled with nonsense) Media controls all our decisions And they will lead to extinction Its hard to admit we were wrong (We are) We are the ones who can make a change (We are the ones) We are the ones who are smart enough to know better (We are the ones) We are the ones with no self control (We are the ones) We kill like cancer We spread slow Until no life’s left at all We kill like cancer We spread slow Until no life’s left at all It’s hard to admit we were wrong We like to kill and create Only a few ones protect Everything that was there before Can’t you see that is dying? Is dying, is dying, is dying on us! The doctors won’t fix it The leaders are busy Fighting over which one of them is the worst That leaves us the people It’s all up to us The people in power Are just a face on a tower It’s hard to admit we were wrong We like to kill and create Only a few ones protect Everything that was there before Can’t you see that is dying? Stop standing there like you don’t care It's time for us to make a change (Make a change) Don’t let them change your decisions Stick to your guns (Stick to your guns) When it feels wrong it’s wrong When it feels wrong it’s wrong Stop standing there like you don’t care Is time for us to make a change (The people in power Are just a face on a tower) Make a change Make a change

Rain 04:16

Its hard to find a reason why Things are the way they are Love so strong that it can blind you Without my sight then I can’t find you The clouds grow grey it smells like rain No tears shed Or at least not yet Love so strong that it can blind you Without my sight then I can’t find you Will it be you? Or will it be me? Will I screw up, Commit a sin? With love so strong that it can blind you Without my sight then I can’t find my way So I sail through this pain not knowing When the rain will come As soon as we realize the beauty around (Open your eyes so you can feel, open your eyes so you can see) The rain that surrounds us is dancing around (Open your eyes so you can feel, open your eyes so you can see) Its hard to find a reason why Things are the way they are Love so strong that it can blind you Without my sight then I can’t find you Will it be you? Or will it be me? Will I screw up, Commit a sin? With love so strong that it can blind you Without my sight then I can’t find my way So I sail through this pain not knowing When the rain will come As soon as we realize the beauty around (Open your eyes so you can feel, open your eyes so you can see) The rain that surrounds us is dancing around (Open your eyes so you can feel, open your eyes so you can see) Open your eyes So you can see me The way the sky weeps for us Feel your soul wash away all this pain With the dirt stuck to our sins Feel the rain wash away all this pain

You keep seeing the mountain You don’t have the guts to climb (You don’t have the guts) On the other side What you’re looking for you will find (You will find) Or you can stay here and die With no sun to keep you warm Hiden by this mountain of fears By this mountain of fears Don’t be a coward boy You are a man now boy You drift away to Neverland (Neverland) Where you call yourself a lost boy But really you’re just lost And you’re just a boy Peter Pan has you under his spell Life is hard to over come But really you have no choice Your mind can stay young But your body will grow old You can choose not to grow up But you’ll definitely grow old You drift away to Neverland (Neverland) Where you call yourself a lost boy But really you’re just lost And you’re just a boy Peter Pan has you under his spell Okay maybe you are right Time will make you old But time will make you strong Take a look I’m still standing Your age don’t mean shit Its all about how you feel If you feel young then who are they to judge Take look I want to take my time (Take a look) To figure it out (Take a look) It doesn’t mean I’m lost (Take a look) Im just not yet found

The Human Race 05:01

We are who we are You are who we are Like it or not thats the way it is Like it or not thats the way it goes Break it down Smash it to pieces I have my pride scattered in regret Oh no pain does not live here anymore You’re a little too negative for my taste (Oh no I’ve lost my way) I hate the choices I’ve made Today feels like yesterday When will I find my way? When will tomorrow come today? When will I find my way? When will tomorrow come today? Its not over I am so much stronger When I get back up (When I get back up) The waves bring me down (The waves bring me down) Can you feel it when you can not see it? A loaded gun full of hope (A loaded gun full of hope) Its a Rock that won’t Roll (It’s a Rock that won’t Roll) We are so fucked up We will self destroy We all want to We all want to We all want to We all want change Its not over I am so much stronger When I get back up (When I get back up) The waves bring me down (The waves bring me down) Can you feel it when you can not see it? A loaded gun full of hope (A loaded gun full of hope) Its a Rock that won’t Roll (It’s a Rock that won’t Roll) Our greed will remain Our greed will destroy Our greed will create A tumbling structure We all want change We tried to out shine the sun We ended up burnt We tried to out run an ocean We ended up drowning We all want change We’re all the same We all want more We are all the same We are the human race When will you see we’re all the same In order to forget We must forget the pain We are the human race We are the ones to blame Not them, not you, not me, but us Not them, not you, not me, but us We are the human race

Day Dreaming 03:16
lyrics

Life keeps changing And I keep sleeping Things get harder, And I keep dreaming Should I give up and get a job that gets paid To leave up to these dreams gets harder each day I try hard to hide all this pain But I’m falling apart Take a look, Im a freak, and I need to find something better. Gravity weights me down Together I know we can fly But I’m just a dreamer... So what do I know? I know its hard to let go... I know it hurts when they’re gone... Sometimes strength’s hard to find No matter how hard you look inside Today you are going nowhere, You are staying in bed Day dreamer you need to wake up Be strong, you need to go face the world Today you are going somewhere Go make something out of yourself Take a look, Im a freak, and I need to find something better. Gravity weights me down Together I know we can fly Take a look, Im a freak, and I need to find something better. Gravity weights me down Together I know we can fly But I’m just a dreamer... So what do I know? I know its hard to let go... I know it hurts when they’re gone...

The Wrong Song 04:13
lyrics

If I still had a heart It’d bleed for you It’s been so long It’s been so cold The silence in this room Can be so loud Do you believe me now? (Do you believe me now?) The clock ticks We’re running out of time An expiration date Carved on our neck Like a make from the devil Its likely that we won’t survive The clock ticks as we’re left behind Saying you care without taking action Saying you care just for the reaction The right message with the wrong voice The right lyrics with the wrong chords You sing along to the wrong song It lacks work but it could work Leave and feed yourself to someone else It’s likely that we won’t survive Leave my dreams And feed on someone else The clock ticks as we’re left behind The right message with the wrong voice The right lyrics with the wrong chords You sing along to the wrong song It lacks work but it could work The scars they fade with time But the marks remain so you won’t forget So you stay away Before it’s too late Before it is too late It’s likely that we won’t survive The clock ticks as we’re left behind The right message with the wrong voice The right lyrics with the wrong chords You sing along to the wrong song It lacks work but it could work

Formal Apology 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Why do we forget? The earth we stand us gave us birth Killing you with disregard We take more than you can provide Oh Mother Nature I’m so sorry Oh mother Nature Ungrateful child we are Without you I can’t survive Why do I act like I’m blind We are fully aware But we just sit here and stare Watching you burn, Watching you run dry Why do we forget? The earth we stand us gave us birth Killing you with disregard We take more than you can provide Oh Mother Nature I’m so sorry Oh mother Nature Ungrateful child we are If we don’t stop now If we don’t make a change Our future is truly uncertain Do you really not see? The end is coming You can feel it every time we breath You can feel it every time we breath You can feel it every time We take and break it When its broken we don’t fix it We ignore it and pretend is not real Or not really our fault We are the ones to blame We are the ones to blame I would like to make a formal apology In regards to everything I break Will you please forgive me? And I know that this is not enough to fix The damage we create But if I sing loud enough Then maybe you’ll listen Maybe we’ll change I swear I’ll change I’ll try my hardest I swear Ill try my hardest I swear To keep this alive so we can both survive I’ll try my hardest I swear Ill try my hardest I swear To keep this alive so we can both survive Will you please forgive me?
