Solitude

|
Verse:
The tide comes in, across the morning's blood red sky
Another fool rushed in, to a battle that'd take his life
There has to be a reason, that he'd attack without a plan
For what's done is done, don't let this mess get out of hand
Alive
Disguised
Those Eyes
Despised
PreChorus:
Only fools rush in, to things they can not win
And as the legend dies, will anyone cry
Chorus:
There has to be a reason for the people to believe in
For my life I don't know why
Is there anybody out there that can save me from this nightmare
Lord you know how hard I've tried
Verse:
Will the world as we know it end
Without legends, without friends
Will they cover up their lies, or bury them deep in disguise
Tell this is but a dream, make it feel just like it seems
How after all the stars align, that blood red sky is mine
Alive, to fight another day
Disguised, to live in peace
Those eyes, tell a story
Dispised, by my enemies
PreChorus

Dignity
04:20
|
|||
|
Verse:
Sold my soul so you weren't all alone
Took all I had, wore my flesh down to bone
You left it in smoke to rot away
Tired of dealing with this day after day
PreChorus:
Tell me the truth, is our ship going down
Cuz I need to know, I need sold ground
Chorus:
My dignity falls, like my tears on the floor
Let me go, I can't hurt you no more
Bottle up your lies, I think it's about time
Spent life looking for one thing, this worthless nothing
Verse:
Where are you now, just show me your sweet face
Why won't you help me out of this God-awful place
I'm drowning, I'm falling, I reach for your hand
I need you more than ever, why don't you understand
PreChorus
Chorus
Break:
Don't you dare, walk away
Without hearing every word I say
Your ears are blind, your eyes are deaf
No turning back once you take that first step
Chorus
Outro:
I need the truth, not all of your lies
You're killing me, with all these goodbyes
I need the truth, not all of your lies
You're killing me, with all these goodbyes

Verse:
Done my time for the crimes I committed, Oh Yeah!
Just another fallen soldier on the battlefield of slander, Oh Yeah!
So what's the fuckin point of all this bitchin and complainin, Come on!
You're just another worthless nothing, have no time for your bullshit, Come on!
Just wanna go
Chorus:
Faster
Than the rest of life around me
I have no time for nothing
Just wanna go
Faster
Than the rat race will allow
To the fat cats I will not bow
I just wanna
Verse
Have you heard the word about me on the street, Oh Yeah!
They say I'm worthless, and that I'm nothing, Oh Yeah!
Well look at me now, bigger than that hell hole town
They can eat their words, with a side of fuck you, Come on!
Just wanna go

Looking Forward

|
Verse:
Some people say that I'm a cynical man
How the hell would they know, they did not know me yesterday
Like I just now came out to play
I've been around for a while but no one noticed me
Just can't explain how this came to be
A funny feeling takes over me
PreChorus:
I just can't seem to make sense of this
These feelings are too strong to dismiss
Verse:
How many times can I avoid the pain
Just a part of life, but a better one when you're right next to me
World is shakin' can barely breathe
It might come off strong these words I choose to say
But the truth is too hard to hold back day to day
Burns a hole inside of me
PreChorus
Chorus:
How strong, how strong
Do you think I really am
And How long, how long
Do you think I'll give a damn
Break

Ways Once Lost
03:39
|
|||
|
Verse:
Step up off this vessel, to a strange new land
In the distance there’s a castle, time to make our stand
As this battle is for certain, nowhere for us to run
The skies begin to blacken, blood runs from the guns
PreChorus:
Mother can you hear my cry, I don’t want to die
For a selfish king of no one, please god spare our lives
We’ve come too far to go this way, reason’s but a dream
I see the sea of arrows on their way, nothing can save me
Verse:
Must not zone out in this moment, there is no time to spare
The cannons’ shot lands closer, must lose our fear
This battle keeps on roaring, there is no end in sight
There is no sense in mourning, your friends’ lost life
PreChorus
Chorus:
Now is the time, for you to open up your mind
Lose what you’ve held forsaken, leave your past behind
Live like there’s no tomorrow, your life ends here
Throw out what’s brought you nowhere, it’ll leave you nowhere
Break
Chorus (x2)

Pathfinder

Verse:
Tell me that story of what could have been
(What kind of fool do you think I am)
I swear I can't take one more second of this
(I know you're still out there)
Maybe you took it the wrong way
Come on back to me, I pray
We get through this together
This is not the first time, and won't be the last
Why don't we pretend, that this is the end
Chorus:
Run, from here, as fast as you can
Cuz in the end
(No one can save us)
Tell me, what have I become
Show me, just what have I done
(To deserve this)
Verse:
With every second that passes, not a moment goes by
(That I don't think to past and start to question why)
Guess you never really know what you'll get out of the mess
(Complications will rise and hope for the best)
Still try to hold my head high,
Though at times it's hard
Try to leave the past behind, but
Reminded by these scars
Chorus
Break

Demons
03:46
|
|||
|
Verse:
We've been here before my friend, is this the end
Fell apart so perfectly again
A lifetime of work is just not enough to
Sooth the pain of, a hundred yesterdays
When you think you've had it rough
A new thing comes and, blows the rest away
Verse:
Time for a new chapter to begin
Open up and let the light come in
It's never enough to lay down and die
Fight the pain away, lift your head up high
When you think you've had it rough
A new thing comes and, blows the rest away
Chorus:
Don't run away, they'll still catch you
(No matter how hard you think you've really tried)
Don't try to hide, they'll still find you
(The demons from within will run your life)
Don't run away, they'll still catch you
(No matter how hard you think you've really tried)
Don't try to hide, they'll still find you
(The demons from within will run your life)

Vacancy
04:29

|
Verse:
Call me the king of fools, cuz I got nothing to lose
Give me a minute or two, just let me finish the booze
Turn me loose
In another hour or so I'll be back in my home
My girl's nowhere to be found, guess I'll have to go it alone
On my own
Sometimes it's better this way, she'll just get in the way
Maybe I'll get some cocaine and find a place to stay
Somewhere to play
Or should I get a tattoo to get my mind off you
It's not that easy of a task, but I need to relax
Take it to the max
PreChorus:
I just can't seem to get my mind off of you
I think it's time to try something new
Chorus:
Going ninety miles an hour down this dead end road
This time we're not, going home
Maybe you'll start to see things my way
You better hold on tight for one hell of a ride
It's time to show you what's inside my mind
No turning back, once we hit that highway
Verse:
Call me the king of fools, because I fell for you
Slam the brakes real fast or floor the gas it's up to you
Time to choose
Maybe we swerve for the rails, hope the brakes don't fail
Either way this'll end tonight, with or without a fight
Time to ignite
PreChorus

Better (With You)
03:24
|
|||
|
Verse:
You know that this is true
There is no understanding
There is no exaggerating
When I'm talkin' bout you
Everything is the truth
Can't even begin to explain
Can't even begin to sustain
A life without you
PreChorus:
I know that I'm not perfect, yeah that's true
And I know there's no part of my life, better than you
Verse:
Don't make me say this twice
You and me better every day
You and me better in every way
Yeah wouldn't that be nice
Get rid of all concern
And look forward to tomorrow
It's you I need to borrow
And never return
PreChorus
Chorus:
Hold my hand, hold me every day you can
And by the way, you made me a better man today
Is just a day unless I see your smile, then the pain just goes away
And the best part of me, is the part that's always
With you
Break

Point

|
Verse:
Dropped down onto bended knee today
The situation seemed unclear
Hey what would you say to this and
Do you feel the way I do
Why isn't this going quite as planned
Chorus:
Don't close your eyes, don't turn away
You always let something get in your way
All you've done, is gonna go to waste
What if today was your last day
Verse:
Fell back on old memories today
Everything back then seemed oh so clear
I look back to those days and I
Wonder why things had to change
Today would be better if it went as planned
Chorus
Break
End Chorus
Don't close your eyes, don't turn away
You always let something get in your way
All you've done is gonna go to waste
What if today was your last day
Would you turn around and walk away
Live to fight another day
Would you let the past get in the way
Or stand up and fight for today

Verse:
Let Go, the walls are closing in
Hell no, this can't be happening
Forced to, enter this endless trance
Can't face, the demons of my past tonight
I've fallen victim to your shame
Broke the rules, in this losers' game
Nothing can ever be the same
You've stopped my already bleeding
Half Chorus:
It's Time, for you to walk away
Find your own way, and leave this place
Forget, bout what you've come to know
Dug your own hole, have mercy on your soul
Verse:
This time of year is very cold
The youth is gone, there's only old
Time grabs you by the neck and
There's no time to understand
What it means to be suffering
Obnoxiously inconsistant
I'm not quite sure what
The trigger to this affliction might be
Half Chorus:
It's time, for you to walk away
Find your own way, and leave this place
Forget, bout what you've come to know
Dug your own hole, have mercy on your soul
Bridge
Chorus:
It's time, for you to walk away
Find your own way, and leave this place
Forget, bout what you've come to know
Dug your own hole, have mercy on your soul
Today, will be your reckoning
Stop pretending, you've had your chance
For time's, no longer on your side
Learn to abide, or be cast aside
