I don't know, man
I think I'm starting to feel something peculiar
Something that's either aggression or it's got all possession of my mind
I'm so weak
I'm starting over won't you pull it back together for me
Nobody's ever gonna show me what I'm looking for
And I'm never gonna feel that fire again
He's gonna come around any one of these days and we'll just stay here in the meantime
My one bad habit was to watch you sad and feel a little bit at home
Play it faster, there's company to keep
A little louder just to tear a hole in me
I admire the desire that comes out of your mouth
You're always saying that you've got it all figured out
Nobody's ever gonna show me what I'm looking for
And I'm never gonna feel that fire again
He's gonna come around any one of these days and we'll just stay here in the meantime
My one bad habit was to watch you sad and feel a little bit at home
He's gonna come around any one of these days and we'll just wait here in the meantime
It never happened and it never will, go on and show me the way home
Poison stays it's goal without you (get it while you can)
Poison needs no help from you
Wish me over the edge this time
Let me fall, I'm already chasing you
He's gonna come around any one of these days and we'll just stay here in the meantime
My one bad habit was to watch you sad and feel a little bit at home
He's gonna come around any one of these days and we'll just wait here in the meantime
It never happened and it never will
Wasting all my time on everybody else
You know I don't mind
Wasting all my time, I know I'll get it back

Just Out Of Reach
I'm fine
The world can wait a little while and I'll remember it's face
So kind for giving me the privilege to say, whatever happens next is up to me
Drop everything come back to me
(Float in ecstasy with you next to me now)
When you play for the long run, you play for the team
(We're all coming home)
I'm fine, and I can handle myself
The world's an addict with a vice up on the shelf
Glaring there and barely out of reach
Drop everything come back to me
(Float in ecstasy with you next to me now)
When you play for the long run, you play for the team
(We're all coming home)
When you talk among friends, you'd kill for a reason to be somewhere else, anywhere
I didn't mind, you weren't there
You were just out of reach
I won't lie, I wore your name for awhile until it started to burn in my head
Well you once said if home was a place you'd do all that you could not to stay
Drop everything come back to me
(Float in ecstasy with you next to me now)
When you play for the long run, you play for the team
(We're all coming home)
When you talk among friends, you'd kill for a reason to be somewhere else, anywhere
I didn't mind, you weren't there
You were just out of reach
Just out of reach [x6]
The world can wait a little while and I'll remember it's face
So kind for giving me the privilege to say, whatever happens next is up to me
Drop everything come back to me
(Float in ecstasy with you next to me now)
When you play for the long run, you play for the team
(We're all coming home)
I'm fine, and I can handle myself
The world's an addict with a vice up on the shelf

Hollow
She's a cold-blooded killer
Go and find who sent her
Bring me the heart and leave the rest for dead
Seven saints and sinners
And only God forgives her
Hollow, hollow, hollow
The truth you swallow, swallow
I am the cancer
Try and find your center
Take care your lance and cut away
(Cut away, let's run away)
So what if I don't want to leave
Could you take it?
Would you make it?
She's a cold-blooded killer
Go and find who sent her
Bring me the heart and leave the rest for dead
Hollow, hollow, hollow
The truth you swallow, swallow
Bring me the head
And cast the rest away
Hollow, hollow, hollow
The truth you swallow, swallow
Hollow, hollow, hollow
The truth you swallow
She's a cold-blooded killer
Go and find who sent her
Bring me the heart and leave the rest for dead
Hollow, hollow, hollow
The truth you swallow, swallow
Bring me the head
And cast the rest away
Go and find who sent her
Bring me the heart and leave the rest for dead
Seven saints and sinners
And only God forgives her
Hollow, hollow, hollow
The truth you swallow, swallow
I am the cancer
Try and find your center
Take care your lance and cut away
(Cut away, let's run away)
So what if I don't want to leave
Could you take it?
Would you make it?
She's a cold-blooded killer
Go and find who sent her
Bring me the heart and leave the rest for dead
Hollow, hollow, hollow
The truth you swallow, swallow
Bring me the head
And cast the rest away
Hollow, hollow, hollow
The truth you swallow, swallow
Hollow, hollow, hollow
The truth you swallow
She's a cold-blooded killer
Go and find who sent her
Bring me the heart and leave the rest for dead
Hollow, hollow, hollow
The truth you swallow, swallow
Bring me the head
And cast the rest away

Letting Go
Glass tabletop for two
Shatters across the room
It's been this way, it stays this way since June
Gravity pulls me in
Further from my skin
I run but my feet don't touch the ground
If you're letting go
Let me go slowly
If you're letting go
Lay me down softly
Smoked out the back room
To get rid of the scent of you
I've been this way, I stay this way since June
If you're letting go
Let me go slowly
If you're letting go
Lay me down softly
If you're letting go
Let me go slowly
If you're letting go
Lay me down softly
If you're letting go
Let me go slowly
Glass tabletop for two
Shatters across the room
It's been this way, it stays this way since June
Shatters across the room
It's been this way, it stays this way since June
Gravity pulls me in
Further from my skin
I run but my feet don't touch the ground
If you're letting go
Let me go slowly
If you're letting go
Lay me down softly
Smoked out the back room
To get rid of the scent of you
I've been this way, I stay this way since June
If you're letting go
Let me go slowly
If you're letting go
Lay me down softly
If you're letting go
Let me go slowly
If you're letting go
Lay me down softly
If you're letting go
Let me go slowly
Glass tabletop for two
Shatters across the room
It's been this way, it stays this way since June

Lets Be Honest
This is a warning
I can feel it in the air
I know I shouldn't be here
I should be sleeping in my bed
I've got a bad, bad feeling
I've been running my mouth
The more I speak
The more your clothes come off
I've made my bed
But I don't belong here
I'm a sinking ship
I'm that cut that won't heal right
Let's be honest
You might think I'm good as gold
I'm that fire that warms your soul
I will let you down
Another warning
Another sad day will pass me by
No, I never told you
You were the last thing on my mind
I've got a bad feeling it's meant to be
It's like you knew
I'm sorry for the way that I gave up on you
Best friends stick together
Just like best friends always do
I'd rather cross my heart
And make this right
I swear these things to you
I'm a sinking ship
I'm that cut that won't heal right
Let's be honest
You might think I'm good as gold
I'm that fire that warms your soul
I will let you down
I'll bet, I'll bet you believed
Every lie I've ever told
I swear, I swear
We can make it if we just forget everything that we know
Bang, bang, bang
There goes giving your heart away
Bang, bang, bang
There goes giving your heart away
Bang, bang, bang
There goes giving your heart
Your heart, your heart
I'm a sinking ship
I'm that cut that won't heal right
Let's be honest
You might think I'm good as gold
I'm that fire that warms your soul
I will let you down
You down [x3]
I can feel it in the air
I know I shouldn't be here
I should be sleeping in my bed
I've got a bad, bad feeling
I've been running my mouth
The more I speak
The more your clothes come off
I've made my bed
But I don't belong here
I'm a sinking ship
I'm that cut that won't heal right
Let's be honest
You might think I'm good as gold
I'm that fire that warms your soul

Keep In Mind Transmogrification Is A New Technology
I am selfish when I need you
I am the blistering side of the wall in the back of your room
We watched the sea turn away from the shore and head back out the way that it came
If you are chasing your love, you don't want it enough and it's best just to walk away
Tell yourself your pride is just the same
Trying not to count the days 'til mine gets washed away
Carry your head up along the way
And you'll say you lack the courage and the guts of a hero even when they're on your side
Let's watch the middle fade away 'til it's all gone
I am selfish when I need you
I am the blistering side of the wall in the back of your room
I am the envy of what you're afraid to write and that's fine
Seems to me like everyone around here is just waiting
I don't wanna move cause it's just enough
I don't wanna blink cause I might miss it
Tell me when it gets to be too much
Carry your head up along the way
And you'll say you lack the courage and the guts of a hero
And everybody's on your side
We'll watch the middle fade away 'til it's all gone
I am selfish when I need you
I am the blistering side of the wall in the back of your room
I am the envy of what you're afraid to write and that's fine
All we need is a place we can be alone
Just with you and with me and without all this desperate weight that I have
All I want is to just be honest
You're the piece that I just found out how to fit to and I don't see you anymore
I am selfish when I need you
I am the blistering side of the wall in the back of your room
I am the envy of what you're afraid to write and that's fine
You lack the courage and the guts of a hero
And everybody's on your side
We'll watch the middle fade away 'til it's all gone
I just wanna waste your time
I am the blistering side of the wall in the back of your room
We watched the sea turn away from the shore and head back out the way that it came
If you are chasing your love, you don't want it enough and it's best just to walk away
Tell yourself your pride is just the same
Trying not to count the days 'til mine gets washed away
Carry your head up along the way
And you'll say you lack the courage and the guts of a hero even when they're on your side
Let's watch the middle fade away 'til it's all gone
I am selfish when I need you
I am the blistering side of the wall in the back of your room
I am the envy of what you're afraid to write and that's fine
Seems to me like everyone around here is just waiting
I don't wanna move cause it's just enough

Narrow
Glass tabletop for two
Shatters across the room
It's been this way, it stays this way since June
Gravity pulls me in
Further from my skin
I run but my feet don't touch the ground
If you're letting go
Let me go slowly
If you're letting go
Lay me down softly
Smoked out the back room
To get rid of the scent of you
I've been this way, I stay this way since June
If you're letting go
Let me go slowly
If you're letting go
Lay me down softly
If you're letting go
Let me go slowly
If you're letting go
Lay me down softly
If you're letting go
Let me go slowly

Underneath The Tide
We went over the edge
Took it way too far
Way too far
Throwing words like knives
Somewhere in between
We lost our faith
But found some grace
It's us against the world
If you could take it all away
Would you, would you
Take it all away?
Save all that you can and let your heart slide
There's not much left but it is all mine
[?] we will be fine
Slipping underneath the tide
Hated as a villain and I'm fine with it
I'll move on and we'll be stronger now than we ever were
Because we gave it all we had
Take it all away
Would you, would you
Take it all away?
Save all that you can and let your heart slide
There's not much left but it is all mine
[?] we will be fine
Slipping underneath the tide
Hated as a villain and I'm fine with it
I'll move on and we'll be stronger now than we ever were
Because we gave it all we had
Took it way too far
Way too far
Throwing words like knives
Somewhere in between
We lost our faith
But found some grace
It's us against the world
If you could take it all away
Would you, would you
Take it all away?
Save all that you can and let your heart slide
There's not much left but it is all mine

Slipping underneath the tide
Hated as a villain and I'm fine with it
I'll move on and we'll be stronger now than we ever were
Because we gave it all we had
Take it all away

Take it all away?
Save all that you can and let your heart slide

Hated as a villain and I'm fine with it
I'll move on and we'll be stronger now than we ever were

All On Me
I'm homesick
I've got a lot on my mind
I'm pathetic
I never know when I'm right
I'm rock bottom
I'll paint a smile for now
I've got a feeling your the reason
I will let you down, down, down
I'm lonesome
I'll send a photo for that
I'm on fire
Your the flame in my head
That I can't put out
Maybe I'm the first one
To fall apart on my own
Don't act like I'm the first
Why don't you stand in line?
You watch me do it again
I'm blaming everything that's happening
All on me, all on me
And who will be the first to finally see
And save me, save me?
We're all liars and let truth be told
I'm lost and so afraid
And I won't come down
Your the song in my head that I can't get out
Maybe I'm the first one
To fall apart on my own
Don't act like I'm the first
Why don't you stand in line?
You watch me do it again
I'm blaming everything that's happening
All on me, all on me
And who will be the first to finally see

Until Youre Big Enough
Troubled youth
Got the blues
Take a walk in those shoes
See how they fit for a while
I can bend
It's all pretend
It's just fake until you mean it
And one day you'll mean it for real
It's to new beginnings
Starting over
When you hope all's forgiven
It's best not to ask for a while
I believe some can see how to strike when it's red hot
And crumble the castle walls
If I bite the hook would you tell me I'm wrong?
Speak like a man who believes he's got no destiny
He's content
Troubles so great that you shouldn't have gone through
With a clarity I've never seen
I will build you up until you're big enough
To take me home
I told you we'd see it through
But you don't believe
And that's the part that kills me
(And that's the part)
Promise me, promise me you will
If I bite the hook would you tell me I'm wrong?
Speak like a man who believes he's got no destiny
He's content
Troubles so great that you shouldn't have gone through
With a clarity I've never seen
I will build you up until you're big enough
To pick me up
Got the blues
Take a walk in those shoes
See how they fit for a while
I can bend
It's all pretend
It's just fake until you mean it
And one day you'll mean it for real
It's to new beginnings
Starting over
When you hope all's forgiven
It's best not to ask for a while
I believe some can see how to strike when it's red hot
And crumble the castle walls
If I bite the hook would you tell me I'm wrong?
Speak like a man who believes he's got no destiny
He's content
Troubles so great that you shouldn't have gone through
With a clarity I've never seen
I will build you up until you're big enough
To take me home
I told you we'd see it through
But you don't believe
And that's the part that kills me
(And that's the part)
Promise me, promise me you will
If I bite the hook would you tell me I'm wrong?
Speak like a man who believes he's got no destiny
He's content
Troubles so great that you shouldn't have gone through
With a clarity I've never seen
I will build you up until you're big enough

Look Up And See Infinity Look Down And See Nothing
I want to feel the way you taste
Just a touch of adventure but safe
I want to make the clouds come down
I want to fill the rest of you out
Sweet dreams the day away
I can't think of one real thing that I could say
I want to feel you underground
I want to chew you up and spit you out
Did I falter?
Did I make you proud?
All I ever wanted
Promise not to shut me out
Just a touch of adventure but safe
I want to make the clouds come down
I want to fill the rest of you out
Sweet dreams the day away
I can't think of one real thing that I could say
I want to feel you underground
I want to chew you up and spit you out
Did I falter?
Did I make you proud?
All I ever wanted
Promise not to shut me out

One Of Us
I just gotta tell you one last thing
How the angels make their way home
I saw it carved into a headstone
That came to me so suddenly
Right there
And this temporary body we call home
You get the most if you don't look back
You get the most if you save it up
You want fire, I've got fire, girl
And things that seem impossible until you get to know me
You're one of us, here's exactly what you'll need to make it through
Good times and hard times
We're here to fight for you
March along
Don't forget to tell the ones you love they matter
When you break the bend
Fall off again
You'll find your love where it's always been
You've gotta fight the beast inside
And all the while enjoy the ride
You've gotta keep an open mind
And willingness to change
Well God knows I've changed
I talk like I'm wounded now
I walk like I don't know how
Maybe I could re-teach myself
One foot in front of the other one
You're one of us, here's exactly what you'll need to make it through
Good times and hard times
We're here to fight for you
March along
Don't forget to tell the ones you love they matter
When you break the bend
Fall off again
You'll find your love where it's always been
[x2]
I will carry my heart back home now
This place doesn't hold any secrets anymore
Feels like I didn't fight
Didn't give it all I could and now it's gone
One of us cares exactly what you'll need to make it through
Good times and hard times
We're here to fight for you
March along
Don't forget to tell the ones you love they matter
When you break the bend
Fall off again
You'll find your love where it's always been
How the angels make their way home
I saw it carved into a headstone
That came to me so suddenly
Right there
And this temporary body we call home
You get the most if you don't look back
You get the most if you save it up
You want fire, I've got fire, girl
And things that seem impossible until you get to know me
