Heard Enough
You decorate your life in shades of lies
Though it's in black and white you don't have a right
Way to say what you mean to say/ Can't believe you let things get this way
Now we fall apart right from the start/ The lies will disconnect your heart
-For what it's worth
You had me believing every word you said
For what it's worth
I only wish now that through your eyes I was dead
And for what it's worth, I've heard enough- (chorus)
You complicate your life in ways so vague
Though not more wrong that right you don't have the...
Though it's in black and white you don't have a right
Way to say what you mean to say/ Can't believe you let things get this way
Now we fall apart right from the start/ The lies will disconnect your heart
-For what it's worth
You had me believing every word you said
For what it's worth
I only wish now that through your eyes I was dead
And for what it's worth, I've heard enough- (chorus)
You complicate your life in ways so vague
Though not more wrong that right you don't have the...

Away From Here
Waiting for tomorrow
But tomorrow seems so far away
I want to fly, fly away from here – chorus
Wallowing in sorrow
The sorrow seems to grow each day
I want to fly, fly away from here
But I can’t fly until I’ve tried to find my own way out, so until then I’ll be-
Waiting for tomorrow
But tomorrow seems so far away
I want to fly, fly away from here
I want to fly, fly away from here
But tomorrow seems so far away
I want to fly, fly away from here – chorus
Wallowing in sorrow
The sorrow seems to grow each day
I want to fly, fly away from here
But I can’t fly until I’ve tried to find my own way out, so until then I’ll be-
Waiting for tomorrow
But tomorrow seems so far away
I want to fly, fly away from here
I want to fly, fly away from here

Authoritarian
Now that you've played your hand
You think that you're pulling the strings
Think that you're in command
That you've stripped away everything
But I can see through your soulless eyes
And that all the words you say are lies
You don't really care who lives or dies
You just want to watch the world's demise
But you're a coward and you cower to the ones who have all the power
Just so you can live another hour
Now that you've raped the land
You think that makes you fucking king
Just because you demand
That I...
You think that you're pulling the strings
Think that you're in command
That you've stripped away everything
But I can see through your soulless eyes
And that all the words you say are lies
You don't really care who lives or dies
You just want to watch the world's demise
But you're a coward and you cower to the ones who have all the power
Just so you can live another hour
Now that you've raped the land
You think that makes you fucking king
Just because you demand
That I...

A Storm on the Horizon
Staring at the eye of the storm,
And I’m not scared/ cause I’m with you
I am prepared/ I’ll die for you
Sometimes it feels like the odds are stacked against us, but I know that
Whatever the weather/ we’re in this together
Whatever the weather/ you have me forever
Whatever the weather/ we’ll make it together
Whatever the weather/ we’ll get through what ever
Sometimes it seems like our backs are against the wall, but we know that
Whatever the weather/ we’re in this together
Whatever the weather/...
And I’m not scared/ cause I’m with you
I am prepared/ I’ll die for you
Sometimes it feels like the odds are stacked against us, but I know that
Whatever the weather/ we’re in this together
Whatever the weather/ you have me forever
Whatever the weather/ we’ll make it together
Whatever the weather/ we’ll get through what ever
Sometimes it seems like our backs are against the wall, but we know that
Whatever the weather/ we’re in this together
Whatever the weather/...

Doorway
The memories won't drift away
the times we had will never fade
and I have so much more to say
but certain things get in the way
Disaster's always knocking at my door
She took my life away
She's taken everything
She took my heart away
She's ruined everything
(Chorus 1)
I cant have things that make me smile
and apparently I cant hide
anything that I feel inside
but that's okay I'll find a light
Disaster's always tearing down my door
She tries to heal my pain
but only...
the times we had will never fade
and I have so much more to say
but certain things get in the way
Disaster's always knocking at my door
She took my life away
She's taken everything
She took my heart away
She's ruined everything
(Chorus 1)
I cant have things that make me smile

anything that I feel inside

Life's Little Games
Sometimes people aren't what they seem
even if you think you know them
they just aren't what they used to be
cause their morals have escaped them
and now they think they're living free
but they're living inside a theme
a theme in someone else's dream
What else is there to believe?
once they shove it in your face
they want you to feel complete
by playing life's little games
they want you to feel defeat
when all you feel is ashamed
(Chorus)
Sometimes people say they will change
but dont intend on...
even if you think you know them
they just aren't what they used to be
cause their morals have escaped them
and now they think they're living free
but they're living inside a theme
a theme in someone else's dream
What else is there to believe?
once they shove it in your face
they want you to feel complete
by playing life's little games
they want you to feel defeat
when all you feel is ashamed
(Chorus)
Sometimes people say they will change

Fade
Everything happens for a reason
Everything changes with the seasons
and I dont know how else to explain
the tension that increases my pain, but
I wont be okay
I'll swim in my pain
I'll try to stay sane
but I know I'll fade
I alone knew what was real
and now I dont know how I feel
but one day I'll be looking back
at all the times I've been stabbed in the back
(Chorus)
I dont think this was a mistake
and I know for sure nothing will change
the memories that have been left in vain
guess I'm...

Even When
You always pick my soul up off the ground
I’m never lost with you around
You always keep me from falling down
By holding onto what we’ve found
I want you/ I need you/ I crave you
-And all the pills and all the highs do not compare to how you make me feel inside
And even on the darkest nights you keep me safe with the angelic light you shine
And even when the world’s lost sight you keep me sane with a familiar simple line- (chorus)
You never let me feel like I could drown
I’m always yours from here and now ...
I’m never lost with you around
You always keep me from falling down
By holding onto what we’ve found
I want you/ I need you/ I crave you
-And all the pills and all the highs do not compare to how you make me feel inside
And even on the darkest nights you keep me safe with the angelic light you shine
And even when the world’s lost sight you keep me sane with a familiar simple line- (chorus)
You never let me feel like I could drown
I’m always yours from here and now ...

Sick of Living
Everything keeps piling up
I wonder when it will collapse
Will these clouds ever clear up?
or will it all come crashing down?
We can't keep on living like this
Do you feel betrayed?
I'm so sick of living like this
I am ashamed
(chorus 1)
I need some relief sometimes
I need some guidance in my life
If we're strong enough to try
Maybe we will not be denied
We can't keep on living like this
Do you feel the same?
I'm so sick of living like this
I am inane
(chorus 2)
...
I wonder when it will collapse

We can't keep on living like this

I need some relief sometimes
I need some guidance in my life

We can't keep on living like this

Shine
When I graze you with my permanence you start to adhere
And then I take your breath away with things you’d never fear
I always hope to be with you and never by myself
There’s only room for you in me and not anything else
-And I know that no one else will ever feel how I do about you
And I know that no one else can see inside the real you like I do
When they shouldn’t have to look very far
To see that you shine as bright as a star- (chorus)
When you touch me with your selflessness I fall to my knees
And then you take my...

So Many Ways to Die
There are so many ways to die
Maybe it will be on a hot sunny day
Maybe it will be when I'm weathered and grey
Maybe it will be from a car accident
That I didn't see coming from a mile away
Or maybe it will come for me in my sleep
Maybe it will leave me lost in a dream
Maybe it will be from sickness and disease
That will take me down, bring me to my knees
And I may never know just how it all goes down
It's like a bullet to the head/ A knife right through the chest
There are just so many...
Maybe it will be on a hot sunny day
Maybe it will be when I'm weathered and grey
Maybe it will be from a car accident
That I didn't see coming from a mile away
Or maybe it will come for me in my sleep
Maybe it will leave me lost in a dream
Maybe it will be from sickness and disease
That will take me down, bring me to my knees
And I may never know just how it all goes down
It's like a bullet to the head/ A knife right through the chest
There are just so many...

Ugly
I hate myself for things I’ve done/ I had it all/ I was someone
I can’t escape/ I can’t outrun
The monster that I have become
And now I don’t even know myself anymore, I just know that
I’m ugly, so ugly. You don’t really want to know me
I’m cold and so lonely. This is just killing me slowly
I hate myself for what I’ve done/ forget the past/ try to move on
It’s easier said than done
I remind myself with each new sun
And now I don’t feel like myself anymore, I just feel like
I’m ugly,...
I can’t escape/ I can’t outrun
The monster that I have become
And now I don’t even know myself anymore, I just know that
I’m ugly, so ugly. You don’t really want to know me
I’m cold and so lonely. This is just killing me slowly
I hate myself for what I’ve done/ forget the past/ try to move on
It’s easier said than done
I remind myself with each new sun
And now I don’t feel like myself anymore, I just feel like
I’m ugly,...
