Newfast 01:46
I'm walking down these streets I've never known Until this moment as I leave. And time is running out And now I'm rushing around to finish All I need to begin Will you remember my name Or will I fade away Until the light shines right through me? Now I'm just gathering speed And this is all that I need Until the day I see you again...

Notion 03:25
Youth is a notion that is crooked as crime Death lies in waiting in these shadows of mine Don't try to argue with aging or fate The end is then hurried rather sooner than late We're all just drowning in this passing time The reasons burn but will not be defined I'm looking forward to the things that come to pass Even though they never really seem to last It's true we're fighting to lose It's hard to swallow the truth The sun will stop burning when the day comes to end Fires extinguish but then ignite again Our time is stolen it was not meant to last so Enjoy what we've taken 'cause the end's coming fast

A stone is slowly sinking down to the bottom I've gotta get back Gotta take it back to before The current's taking over now Carving, Making a path Leading us back to before The ocean's always waiting to swallow All of our breath Just the way we had it before Just like before Everything goes from blue to grey Nothing will turn out just okay You cannot see your future now This is more than you can allow The water's all around you Washing you back ashore The sun is drying me out and I'm burning I've gotta get back I've gotta take it back to before I pick myself up off the ground and now I'm headed to a place where I'll never come back Everything is tattered and torn A grain of sand is drifting out With the tidal waves that come crash Taking it all back to the shore Just like before Everything goes from blue to grey Nothing will turn out just okay You cannot see your future now This is more than you can allow The water's all around you Washing you back ashore

Disheveled 05:35
I see you comin' around this town again It used to be that we could say that we were friends But now you're walkin' up with both of your guns drawn I fear that only one of us is going to make it to the dawn You've been told that you're not bold but They've got you under their thumb Truth be told you've been sold tattered lies and foolish gold You've been sold but I think it's coming undone Will you go? You are stronger than you know and You send them toppling down Oh they fall without a sound and We rise up from the ground Now watch the sun come up, revealing all the blood These streets and veins have all been emptied out In struggles gone and done Now watch our bodies as they slowly drip with fear Will you remember this when light is gone and shadow disappears I've been told that I'm not bold but I've got you under my thumb It's a cold truth to be told that you're slowly coming undone I won't go if I am told but I'll send you toppling down Then fall without a sound Straight into the ground

I've been alone in my mind for too long. You are an ocean That I've never seen There is a notion that's Stirring around inside me The surface is shifting And I'm caught in the tide The tension is building Only hinting at depths kept inside Stowed on an island Surrounded by fire The sea is a monster A cold, empty monster I am a monster I've been alone in my mind for too long.

Broken 02:24
Will you temper me? Chill me to the bone Tell me to go home My temperature is gone but not for long Words are never really spoken I've been feeling like I'm broken I say these words all day Shine a light on me See my skin and bone I'll call you from a phone Singing you a song then I'll come home Never trust what I have spoken Cause we all know that I am broken I say these words all day
7.
I Believe 05:03
They think about a winner when they think about me They think that everything I do works out perfectly No, it don't They're quick to give me credit but I'm never to blame I've caused a lot of problems but they still feel the same Yes, they do They need what I sell Even though I'm just a shell I believe in the parts of the heart that you can't even see I believe I'm a thief But I'm trying my best to be good In the ways that you need Think of me when I leave I think about the way I'm supposed to behave I struggle with the reason that I'll never be safe No, I won't I'm tired of the games that they want me to play I'm looking for an exit I need an escape No I don't I'm flying off the rails I'll fall before I fail

sitting in the sun again the way I did when I was little the way it made me feel what's it mean to make a friend? I have grown old and bitter... so what's your middle name? so we can go around what's the truth? what's the use? sifting through the sin again you try to reason things in your own way you're at war with your heart you decide that you must part the memories from the shame a wicked, endless game and it won't let you go how we strive to decide. Still you've been looking for a different day and you've been looking for the words to say but your heart and your mind will never be at peace now you're on your own again and the fear won't ever let you think straight you're the last to know you're insane don't you know your soul will grow by the pale anguish of each day pick up your soul and move it's only up to you only don't assume that you've bloomed Still you've been looking for a different day and you've been looking for the words to say but your heart and your mind will never be at peace be at peaceX3 I want to fly I want to try again I want to die I want to try again

Riffy 03:28
Oh what is this that I see? You're shaking around Like a stick on the ground Fallen out of a tree So take some time To make amends You're spinning about Like a person in doubt When it comes to the end Where do we go When all the time is gone? What do you know If all you know is wrong? I know you come out swinging At all the words I'm singing Take some time to show me All of the things that you want me to sing to you now Now take my hand And we will go To the top of the town While we're lookin around For the things that we know And I will trust That you will dream That all of our times Will have a reason and rhyme To make it more than it seems Where do we go Now that the time is gone? What do you know If all you know is wrong? I know you come out swinging At all the words I'm singing Take some time to show me All of the things that you want me to sing to you now I know why I don not know how I feel like our world is crumbling Down to the ground and Then we look around at it all

You are the soul of the cake We bake on Christmas Eve We are the growing trees That won't shed their dying leaves They only see your colors change when your sheets are stained with ink The wine in your mouth on the boat that never sinks Oh it's true We will make it through Follow the bird to the nest and see how babies are born Reach for the sun in your room but never forget your home Bottle the bees for a day but promise to let them go I only love the parts of you I think I know Oh it's true We will make it through Yes it's true All I see is you
11.
Crippled and a crawlin' and the leaves they keep a fallin' But the seasons don't change Going to Oklahoma where my mind goes in a coma and The people are strange Wakin' from a dream then you're kickin' and a screamin' At the things that I say Take me by the hand and Then I'm sure you'll understand All of the ways I behave And I will go where I am gold The fire's out before it's cold And I will walk a thousand fold And I will try to light the way back home Fires are a burnin' and The times they keep a turnin' all the things that I see Clouds of smoke a clearin' and The thing I've been a fearin' Is a change in belief We rise up from the ashes Bold and bitter from the clashes That will foster this change But hold it strong and true and then All of what we do will Keep the demons at bay And I will go where I am gold The fire's out before it's cold And I will walk a thousand fold And I will try to light the way back home

This Is Life 03:26
A drop of water drips and shimmers in the sun A breath of air will be short sheltered in your lungs A jilted lover screams into the lonely night When it's discovered that the other has just died It's just the same thing all the time This is life Follow the maps and signs that leads back to the one Offer your hand to those you love and those you shun Let all the parts you use be better than the sum Remember what has passed can never be undone It's just the same thing all the time This is life
