Yesterday's Lost

If this life ends early 
Would I have spent our time right? 
Here at your mercy 
Or lost in our biggest fight 
I'm so afraid of a life lived without you 
But we're made to wait 
For the truth to come soon 
But should you go before me 
I'll be right behind you 
 
It won't get any easier 
As I start to get old 
Please share with me something 
Before I lose control 
Life's a parade 
Travelers marooned 
Here in a play 
That shortly will end soon 
But should you go before me 
You'll know 
I don't want you to go

Goodbye, Sunshine

Goodbye, Sunshine 
Oh, the more I wait, the less the time is mine 
As new fades to old 
Watch the truth reveal, the less I want to know 
 
Old habits die hard tonight 
No, I don't wanna be your kind 
Oh, I don't wanna do that grind 
Every damn night, struggling through life 
Holding onto the wrong end of the knife 
 
Oh, things are gonna be alright 
Even though it may seem hard at first sight 
Be as they might, words that spark fights 
I believe in the dark, we'll find the light 
 
Goodbye, Sunshine 
Goodbye, Sunshine 
I'll be the first in line here at your wake, celebrating the good times 
I won't stay mad, we played our parts 
And those were the breaks, so maybe some things were hard 
It was so worth a good goddamn, but all things end 
I can't have you back, but some things are better off dead 
 
The evil you shed for me, you said 
Were results of an honesty misread 
I must confess, the trap I set 
I set to reignite 
 
Old habits die hard tonight 
No, I don't wanna be unkind 
No, I don't wanna do that grind 
Every damn night, struggling through life 
Holding onto the wrong end of the knife 
 
Oh, things are gonna be alright 
Even though it may seem hard at first sight 
Be as they might, words that spark fights 
F*ck with me 
Who turned out the lights? 
 
Goodbye, Sunshine 
Goodbye, Sunshine 
I'll be the first in line here at your wake, celebrating the good times 
I won't stay mad, we played our parts 
And those were the breaks, so maybe some things were hard 
It was so worth a good goddamn, but all things end 
I can't have you back, but some things are better off 
 
Everybody wants to blame it all on luck 
But maybe everybody's tryna pass the buck 
So when the blame falls in on us 
You'll do what you must to earn the time of your life 
The greedy needs of you and me, oh

Searching for Tomorrow

Last chance to figure things out 
Oh, will you fail to answer when your body can't stay still? 
Hardly ever had a clue 
Enhance, the future becomes so clear 
But it doesn't matter 'cause you find you were never here 
You were never wanted 
 
Livid, livid, livid, livid 
You're so convincing 
Inching, inching out 
 
Up to no good 
Searching for tomorrow 
Misunderstood 
Well, you're headed straight into the flames 
 
You dance between the true and false 
To salvage something, but you learn that you lost it all 
You finally learn that you can lose 
Now that reality's sank in 
Alone is always how you've been 
Hardly ever had a clue 
 
You're so convincing 
Inching, inching out 
 
Up to no good 
Searching for tomorrow 
Misunderstood 
Well, you're headed straight into the flames 
Left into it, you're out of your mind 
It's so good to let go, so good to let go 
Let them know it's by design 
 
Up to no good 
Searching for tomorrow 
Misunderstood 
Well, you're headed straight into the flames 
Left into it, you're out of your mind 
It's so good to let go, so good to let go 
Let them know it's by design 
 
Up to no good 
Searching for tomorrow 
Misunderstood 
Well, you're headed straight into the flames 
Left into it, you're out of your mind 
It's so good to let go, so good to let go 
Let them know it's by design 
 
Let them know it's by design 
Let them know it's by design

The Father of Make Believe

I see them for who they are 
Baring their shields and scars 
Jokers behind the cards 
Common-age criminals, serial who trading memories for miracles 
Covering up the score before our eyes 
With a stance no one's yet surmised 
 
When all the lines blur between all that's wrong and right 
Just take my hand, when the monsters turn out the lights 
Oh 
And you'll find I'm not how you remember me 
I'm the vision that you choose to see 
The one you can hate or love as you need 
In time's absence, more than memory 
So now, at your darkest, I'll come as promised 
I'm the Father of Make Believe 
Father of Make Believe 
Father of Make Believe 
 
Pride and grace are feeling outnumbered 
In moments where nothing is as it seems or as it fits 
Pushed out of place, where our memories 
Now enemies, fill voids to take up space 
 
When all the lines blur between all that's wrong and right 
Just take my hand, when the monsters turn out the lights 
Oh 
And you'll find I'm not how you remember me 
I'm the vision that you choose to see 
The one you can hate or love as you need 
In time's absence, more than memory 
So now, let me share with you something honest 
Father of Make Believe 
 
Where have all of the angels gone to burn their wings? 
 
When all the lines blur between all that's wrong and right 
Just take my hand, when the monsters turn out the lights 
Oh 
And you'll find I'm not how you remember me 
I'm the vision that you choose to see 
The one you can hate or love as you need 
In time's absence, more than memory 
So now, at your darkest, I'll come as promised 
I'm the Father of Make Believe

Meri of Mercy

The familiar feels so foreign 
As I search these spots 
For a trail I forgot 
 
Once so young, now feeling my age 
As my time comes to a close 
As I watch from the window 
 
So tell me why 
It's so hard to escape 
Out of time and out of place 
Yeah, I made up my mind, I'm getting out, I'm 
 
I won't know her for much longer 
I'm screaming from the top 
Screaming from the top 
I just need you to stop 
 
Meri 
I'm not gonna quit 
Until I can sit at the end of this life 
With you there beside me 
 
Is there something wrong with me? 
I know those times were tough 
As the lights rose in and out 
No, there wasn't much time 
I didn't have time to say 
What you mean 
Can't you see, Meri? 
 
Meri 
I'm not gonna quit 
Until I can sit at the end of this life 
With you there beside me 
When all goes dark 
And I can't see 
All my memories lost 
I'll know you're always with me 
 
Meri 
I'm not gonna quit 
Until I can sit at the end of this life 
With you there beside me 
When all goes dark 
And I can't see 
All my memories lost 
I'll know you're always with 
 
Meri 
I'm not gonna quit 
Until I can sit at the end of this life 
With you there beside me 
When all goes dark 
And I can't see 
All my memories lost 
I'll know you're always with me

Play the Poet

This place meant for our grave 
The dark before the dawn, no place to be safe 
What does a dead man say? 
When riddled with regret in desperate plays 
 
All my life, afraid of the someone that I could've been, and now I'm through 
Relive the things that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do 
No sense in hiding that you know it 
Blame yourself, now play the poet 
 
I can't rely on you to play the game 
And abide by the rules 
Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets 
And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head 
 
Take aim, made to stake claim 
Close to something like resolve but the same for decades 
Different language, the words you can't seem to say 
How can this get any better? Here we go again 
 
All my life, afraid of the someone that I could've been, and now I'm through 
Does reliving things that you don't want to make you a better them to the ones who do? 
 
I can't rely on you to play the game 
And abide by the rules 
Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets 
And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head 
 
Relive the thing that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do 
Relive the thing that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do 
Relive the things that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do 
Relive the things that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do 
 
Now break your mind and try to find the right 
It's all your life, the lines, the lies, now I 
Now break your mind and try to find the right 
It's all your life, the lines, the lies now 
 
I can't rely on you to play the game 
And abide by the rules 
Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets 
And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head 
 
I can't rely on you to play the game 
And abide by the rules 
Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets 
And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head 
Aim for my head

One Last Miracle

A marathon through oblivion 
Sound the alarm, we're coming in 
If the water should run out while you're in the fire's mouth 
Hold me, I'm hoping for a miracle 
 
When reality bends way beyond 
Your imagination 
Look and you will find me here 
In revelation 
 
One last miracle, a fortune sold on television 
Where our truth's coming from, so damaged beyond recognition 
Ad placement will keep things clever, preoccupied with the now or never 
One last miracle, stay tuned for the revolution 
 
An angel here within our arms 
Its chorus formed from cold to warm 
If you had a shred of doubt, a liar named devout 
A hero longing for a criminal 
 
When reality bends way beyond 
Your imagination 
Look and you will find me here 
In revelation 
 
One last miracle, a fortune sold on television 
Where our truth's coming from, so damaged beyond recognition 
Ad placement will keep things clever, preoccupied with the now or never 
One last miracle, stay tuned for the revolution 
 
No, oh, yeah 
On to the revolution 
No, oh, yeah 
Oh, the revolution 
 
One last miracle, a fortune sold on television 
Where our truth's coming from, so damaged beyond recognition 
Ad placement will keep things clever, preoccupied with the now or never 
One last miracle, stay tuned for the revolution

Corner My Confidence

Lady, I know you're here with me somehow
Lately, it feels the future's left me out
Wait for the curtains to fall on your past
How could I be so certain this would be the last
Place I came so close to be the one you chose?

Endings don't come any easier
As I needed one, you stole the sun
Caught in the flare, we were amateurs
Scared to get burned as time slowly
Turns to the unknown
I corner my confidence
And together, we break the mold

Save me, I fear I'm drowning in my doubt
Hold me, my time is quickly running out

Endings don't come any easier
As I needed one, you stole the sun
Caught in the flare, we were amateurs
Scared to get burned, as time slowly
Turns to the unknown
I corner my confidence
Don't let me go
Your hand's the only one I hold
And together, we'll break the mold

You're my only need
I'd relive our worst days over
For one inch closer
I just want you to stay here with me

Wait for the curtains to fall on your past
How could I be so certain I would be the Last
One you finally chose?
I corner my confidence
And together, we break the mold

Someone Who Can

This is us 
Running out of magic, losing touch 
All or nothing 
Swimming against the under currently 
I'm accountable for every little obstacle 
In your way 
What do you need me to say? 
 
I'm over it 
Matters of the heart broken to bits 
The end hits 
With insecurities turned habits 
Living with these right or wrongs 
Terrified to tear apart this song 
There's nothing left to let go 
There's nothing left to let go 
There's no time to look back 
Straight as arrows 
Head to the light at the end of the road 
 
This can't be all that we 
Wanted for us in the here and right now 
I won't fight for the old life 
Help me try to understand 
I just want to be someone who can 
 
When life throws a curve at you, know that 
I got no sympathy, son 
Now give me love 
Give me light 
Give me fire 
No, maybe don't drive crazy 
Come on lady, let's just dance once more 
The hours' yours 
 
This can't be all that we 
Wanted for us here in the here and right now 
I won't fight for the old life 
Help me try to understand 
I just want to be someone who can 
(Someone who can) 
 
When the lines of the road 
Vanish in your tracks 
Life fades on a day that 
You'll never get back 
When you feel abandonment 
All sympathies gone 
Give me light 
Give me love 
Give me fire 
 
Give me light 
Give me love 
Give me fire 
 
This can't be all that we 
Wanted for us here in the here and right now 
I won't fight for the old life 
Help me try to understand 
I just want to be someone who can 
 
I just want to be someone who can

This is us 
Running out of magic, losing touch 
All or nothing 
Swimming against the under currently 
I'm accountable for every little obstacle 
In your way 
What do you need me to say? 
 
I'm over it 
Matters of the heart broken to bits 
The end hits 
With insecurities turned habits 
Living with these right or wrongs 
Terrified to tear apart this song 
There's nothing left to let go 
There's nothing left to let go 
There's no time to look back 
Straight as arrows 
Head to the light at the end of the road 
 
This can't be all that we 
Wanted for us in the here and right now 
I won't fight for the old life 
Help me try to understand 
I just want to be someone who can 
 
When life throws a curve at you, know that 
I got no sympathy, son 
Now give me love 
Give me light 
Give me fire 
No, maybe don't drive crazy 
Come on lady, let's just dance once more 
The hours' yours 
 
This can't be all that we 
Wanted for us here in the here and right now 
I won't fight for the old life 
Help me try to understand 
I just want to be someone who can 
(Someone who can) 
 
When the lines of the road 
Vanish in your tracks 
Life fades on a day that 
You'll never get back 
When you feel abandonment 
All sympathies gone 
Give me light 
Give me love 
Give me fire 
 
Give me light 
Give me love 
Give me fire 
 
This can't be all that we 
Wanted for us here in the here and right now 
I won't fight for the old life 
Help me try to understand 
I just want to be someone who can 
 
I just want to be someone who can

The Continuum I: Welcome to Forever, Mr Nobody

Would you like to initiate free fall? 
 
Life can be so demanding 
When anxiety strikes, capable of withstanding 
The pressures you never 
Never thought there'd be when you're with somebody 
 
Why can't I just let this go? 
Hide inside something else's shadow 
I'm desperate for release 
Wrestled down to my knees 
No matter how tough I think I may be 
 
I plead 
Is it so hard to see 
A better version of me? 
I know life isn't fair 
But it gets worse when you're going nowhere 
 
A fear growing since they found us 
Voiced my distress, difficult to process 
Inside my fantasy of conflicts 
I'm scared to question if 
If the real me still exists 
 
Plead 
Is it so hard to see 
A better version of me? 
I know life isn't fair 
But it gets worse when you're going nowhere 
 
My time, it just don't mean shit 
In a world of one where I live 
Lying beneath all that's left of the dream 
Headstone reads "Mr. Nobody" 
 
Mr. Nobody 
Will I forgive or submit to these hard times? 
I've made up my mind 
To leave this behind 
No, the life that I've lived through in this state of review 
I reject both old and new you 
This is forever now 
 
Please 
Is it so hard to see 
A better version of me? 
I know life isn't fair 
But it gets worse when you're going nowhere 
 
A bit part actor playing 
The world's smallest violin 
Standing beneath an abandoned marquee 
Where the words read "Mr. Nobody" 
 
Welcome to forever, Mr. Nobody 
Welcome to forever, Mr. Nobody 
You'll find it harmonious 
The confines of loneliness 
Welcome to forever, Mr. Nobody

The Continuum II: The Flood

We had our sunshine 
In a life so surreal 
A restricted lifetime 
Where death becomes real 
 
I can't find 
Where I fit in this place 
To trace the lines 
That age gave to our face 
 
Understand 
 
You should be afraid of me 
Time lost the key 
That unlocks the beat of my heart 
Where I once loved 
Now pumps cold blood 
You mean nothing to me 
A memory lost on the flood 
 
Oh, if I could, I would leave you here 
To soldier onward, to face what you fear 
The choice isn't mine 
To have my time erased 
Will you remember 
I took up this space? 
 
Are you afraid of me? 
Time lost the key 
That unlocks the beat of my heart 
Where I once loved 
Now pumps cold blood 
You mean nothing to me 
A memory lost in the flood 
 
In the days, through the light, the shade saves me from 
What you cannot be, I couldn't give to you 
With the chance to leave comes the chance I take 
To lose everything power illuminates 
 
Water rushing 
Everlasting 
Over all these precious things 
Hear them whispering 
Sharing secrets 
Through a force-fed lyric 
 
I can't seem to dream anymore 
I don't even dream anymore 
 
Are you afraid of me? 
Time lost the key 
That unlocks the beat of my heart 
Where I once loved 
Now pumps cold blood 
You mean nothing to me 
But a memory lost in the flood 
 
Ah, ah 
Just memories lost in the flood 
Flood, ah 
Just memories lost in the flood 
Where I once loved 
Now pumps cold blood 
When I cease to dream 
I'm a memory lost in the flood 
Ah, ah, ah

The Continuum III: Tethered Together

Your eyes on me 
Search for things you can't see 
Looking to find something better 
Don't be afraid of whatever comes next 
This now will be ours till it's severed 
 
And all these ghosts don't scare me woke 
Hold me close to your flame 
 
We'll all sing together 
From the first verse to the last word 
Our voices will unify in harmony 
Sing together, tethered forever 
 
With the weight this carries 
For the moment it brings 
A target to seize good measure 
In the end, I will make sure 
We'll be on my terms 
A bed I could lay in, forever unnerved 
No regrets, never 
At the stop or the start 
Here is my chance to now pull it apart, so while 
 
We'll all sing together 
From the first verse to the last word 
Our voices will unify in harmony 
Sing together, tethered forever 
 
Together 
Together 
 
And all these ghosts don't scare me woke 
Hold me close to your flame 
 
We'll all sing together 
From the first verse to the last word 
Our voices will unify in harmony 
Sing together, tethered forever 
 
We'll all sing together 
From the first verse to the last word 
Our voices will unify in harmony 
Sing together, tethered forever

The Continuum IV: So It Goes

[Backwards:] 
Please, somebody, open this lock 
 
It's all in my head, these lines 
That connect you and me and everything between us 
It's all by design, the divide 
Your experience from mine to decide how you feel about 
Oh, the way I shake out of control 
Don't look at me, I'm ashamed of what you'll see 
But you keep on still with those eyes 
From a space where someone like me shouldn't be alive 
 
Oh, it feels so strange to watch 
Life pass me by without so much 
As a whisper, well, so it goes 
 
Out of my head and into your arms 
Confused by protection, I lost your affection 
Mother, wake me 'cause sleeping, I'm not 
It feels like a dream if dreams were just pins and needles 
Buried deep inside my skin 
There's no time to fiddle on the back of broken 
The space behind his eyes, it scares the kids 
Here at the end, where everyone begins 
 
Oh, it feels so strange to watch 
Life pass me by without so much 
As a whisper, well, so it goes 
 
Please, somebody open this lock 
My mind is breaking apart 
Is there a way for the light to escape the dark? 
Please, somebody open this lock 
My mind is breaking apart 
Is there a way for the light to escape the dark? 
 
Oh-oh-oh-oh, so I'm 
I'm just a broken window 
 
Oh, it feels so strange to watch 
Life pass me by without so much 
As a whisper 
 
Well, so it goes 
Well, so it goes 
Well, so it goes
