1. MAKE IT COUNT

(Instrumental)


2. DON'T WASTE YOUR BREATH

Despite your efforts and best attempts
And all the stab wounds in our chest
We find a way
To keep our heads up high
Through everything until the day we die

Maybe you don't think I think for myself
I hear you tell me one thing then see you do something else
I've had enough prejudice against me
So don't just assume I need to be told what to believe

We've become so different from who we used to be

Don't waste your breath
That just won't work for me
I've already decided who I want to be
Although I used to be like you
I found the road to my own truth
It's just a matter of time until you come around too

This fight is near; it's impending fate
The swelling waves are going to break
We're heading for disaster; it's the end
There isn't much more that I can take

We've become so different from who we used to be

Don't waste your breath
That just won't work for me
I've already decided who I want to be
Although I used to be like you
I found the road to my own truth
It's just a matter of time until you come around too

I've pulled the wool back and allowed myself to see
I'm finding out what it's like to be myself and free
Starting to see the world through a different set of eyes
I'm feeling wide awake and finally living my own life

We've become so different from who we used to be

Don't waste your breath
That just won't work for me
I've already decided who I want to be
Although I used to be like you
I found the road to my own truth
It's just a matter of time until you come around too

Ooh-whoa-oh
Ooh-whoa
Ooh-whoa-oh-ah-oh-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh
Ooh-whoa
Ooh-whoa-oh-ah-oh-oh


3. PIRATES BELONG AT SEA

You wouldn't realize but its harder than you know,
Living this life, always on the road,
These nights are endless when you're never coming home,
Your ignorance is your downfall

Your downfall

I've been finding this out the hard way,
No one fucking cares what you've worked for, they'll take it anyway,
Life makes us change though I feel just the same way
They say I'll get better with time,
So just follow, follow the leader
You're just another face in the crowd.

You point the blame I take the fall,
You play this game while I lose it all,
And I don't care if it's right or wrong,
Your selfishness has been hurting us all along.

It seems the truth is stranger that fiction,
It's not always simple as black and white,
We won't let this go,
Take what you take like I'm deserving of failure
When my life's on the line.

So just follow, follow the leader,
You're just another face in the crowd.

You point the blame I take the fall,
You play this game while I lose it all,
And I don't care if it's right or wrong,
Your selfishness has been hurting us all along.

I've put up with so much more than I should
(I'm tired of catching your fall),
I've put up with so much
More than I should (I'm tired of being at fault)

You point the blame I take the fall,
You play this game while I lose it all,
And I don't care if it's right or wrong,
Your selfishness has been hurting us all.

You point the blame I take the fall,
You play this game while I lose it all,
And I don't care if it's right or wrong,
Your selfishness has been hurting us all along.

You wouldn't realize but it's harder than you know.
Living this life, always on the road,
These nights are endless when you're never coming home,
Your ignorance is your downfall!


4. HANGING ONTO NOTHING

I heard from someone that you had moved along.
I'd be happy for you but I'm not that strong.
So you say you got just what you want,
What about the rest of us?

We are broken is there something that can put us back together?
We are hanging onto nothing but the past was never there.

And so you say that some people never change.
Your excuses are falling to pieces, that the part of being speechless.
I'm tired of this game.
So you say you found just what you need,
Maybe things weren't meant to be.

We are broken is there something that can put us back together?
We are hanging onto nothing but the past was never there.
You had me pinned.
I was all that you wanted, caught in your plan but you failed when you lost it.
Now the pictures and memories, what could be is all that we have.
All we have.

Its so easy to fall, to let you back in.
Even after blaming you for it all.
I couldn't make you trust me, but I'll be damned if I didn't try.
I did everything I could for you so this is goodbye
This is goodbye.

At first I missed you when you're gone.
Now I wished I never met you at all.

We are broken is there something that can put us back together?
We are hanging onto nothing but the past was never there.
You had me pinned.
I was all that you wanted, caught in your plan but you failed when you lost it.
Now the pictures and memories, what could be is all that we have.
All we have.

All we have.


5. FAMILY TIES (FT. DAVE STEPHENS & KYLE PAVONE)

I'll seize this moment and make it mine
Remember when we were younger and had nothing but time
And now I know there's so much in my way
But it won't keep me held down 'cause I've got something to say

We're all just kids growing up too fast
Focused on the future but not forgetting the past

So I live my life like it's a story to tell
Don't try to stand in my way
'Cause I can make a bet that you'll fail
But I'll push on and on
Till every doubt is gone
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
I control my own fate

If you are not scared
Then you're not taking a chance
The road ahead is paved by those who took the risk

We're all just kids growing up too fast
Focused on the future but not forgetting the past

This will always be my family
This will always be my family

So I live my life like it's a story to tell
Don't try to stand in my way
'Cause I can make a bet that you'll fail
But I'll push on and on
Till every doubt is gone
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
I control my own fate

This will always be my family
You've been here for me since the beginning
This will always be my family
I'll be there for you till the end

So I live my life like it's a story to tell
Don't try to stand in my way
'Cause I can make a bet that you'll fail
But I'll push on and on
Till every doubt is gone
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
I control my own fate

Don't forget where you've come from


6. BACKSTABBERS NEED NOT APPLY

Did you really think that I was born yesterday'
Like I would never find the reasons why you fled the scene and left me
Well I hope you choke on every word that you say
Cause your reasons don't just make all these problems go away

Everybody knows, everybody knows
You're gonna get what you deserve
When you turn on your friends
You lose more than you planned

Everybody knows, everyone knows
You had a future but it slipped through your hands
Your first shot's becoming your last

Now that you've lied to everyone else here but me
I had started to feel like I've been missing out on something
I hope you choke on every word you say
Cause your reason don't make

Everybody knows, everybody knows
You're gonna get what you deserve
When you turn on your friends
You lose more than you planned

Everybody knows, everyone knows
You had a future but it slipped through your hands
Your first shot's becoming your last

With friends like you, who needs an enemy
With friends like you, who needs an enemy

You just let me bleed, it's unforgivable
What you've done to me
You gone and changed it all
You're not the man you used to be

It's not that I don't get it, believe me I do
I've had to walk more than a mile in your shoes
These thoughts they tear a hole in my chest
A decade wasted cause of your selfishness

Everybody knows, everybody knows
You're gonna get what you deserve
When you turn on your friends
You lose more than you planned

Everybody knows, everyone knows
You had a future but it slipped through your hands
Your first shot's becoming your last

Your time will come, you'll get what you deserve
Your time will come, you'll get what you deserve


7. SLEEPLESS IN CINCINNATI

Here we are out on the road with my friends,
We're having fun, but when the sun sets
I'll be finally home to see you again

I know it takes just a little bit of time,
But I swear well make it if we try,

So say goodnight and wipe those eyes.
Six more weeks and I'll be by your side,
It's never been, never been too easy
For me to be this far away and oh I swear
These sleepless nights are gonna be the death of me

I toss and turn all through the night,
I dream of you, but when I open my eyes,
You start to drift so far, so far away from me

These dreams are all that get me through,
With a thousand miles between me and you,

So say goodnight and wipe those eyes.
Six more weeks and I'll be by your side,
It's never been, never been too easy
For me to be this far away and oh I swear
These sleepless nights are gonna be the death of me

You don't know whatcha got till it gone
You don't know whatcha got till it gone
You don't know whatcha got till it gone

I know this is not what you'd hoped for me,
It's not ideal but it's the way it has to be.

So say goodnight and wipe those eyes.
Six more weeks and I'll be by your side,
It's never been, never been too easy
For me to be this far away and oh I swear
These sleepless nights are gonna be the death of me

These sleepless nights are gonna be the death of me


8. YOUNG & STUPID

Give me one good reason
For your hate and jealousy
The grudge you hold onto
Is unjustly about me
I've struggled and fought
Given all my efforts and thoughts
I've suffered for this
Your words show your ignorance

Let it go, let it go
Cause we were all once young and stupid
Whoa, like all the time we spent just made our efforts useless
They don't know what we know
Or the sacrifice it took to get here, no
In the end it never mattered
I'm where I should be!

I always knew this day would come
The culmination of dreams since I was young
I've got my sights set for the top
And I'm not leaving til' that's just what I got

[x2]
I've got something to prove!

So can we say that this is over...

Let it go, let it go
Cause we were all once young and stupid
Whoa, like all the time we spent just made our efforts useless
They don't know what we know
Or the sacrifice it took to get here, no
In the end it never mattered
I'm where I should be

(3, 2, 1)

The world won't just disappear when you close!
Your eyes!
The world won't disappear when you close!
When you close your eyes!

You seem to think this isn't over...

Let it go, let it go
Cause we were all once young and stupid
Whoa, like all the time we spent just made our efforts useless
They don't know what we know
Or the sacrifice it took to get here, no
In the end it never mattered...

Let it go, let it go
Cause we were all once young and stupid
Whoa, like all the time we spent just made our efforts useless
They don't know what we know
Or the sacrifice it took to get here
No, in the end it never mattered
I'm where I should be!


9. FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT

We got this far on lies and secrets
Then fell apart at the seams
Now in these places, these empty spaces
We learn to, we learn to breathe

Right now, is the only time you'll ever be given
To find all the answers in this empty life that you've been living
So make a stand, this is your life in your hands
We wont break or bend!
Tear down the walls that held you in
And start it over again

Forget your darker days, they're over now!

We got this far on lies and secrets
Then fell apart at the seams
Now in these places, these empty spaces
We learn to, we learn to breathe

I refuse, to suffer for your selfish mistakes!
There's consequences to your actions more than your dreams at stake!
I'll make a stand, take my life in my hands!
We wont let this end!
Dream up a future, make it happen!
And follow your plans!

Forget those darker days, they're over now!

We got this far on lies and secrets
Then fell apart at the seams
Now in these places, these empty spaces
We learn to, we learn to breathe

We learn to breathe, we'll take a chance!
We'll start it over again, forget the past!
We'll blaze a path, these lights will lead the way!
The darker days just fell behind cause better times are rising!
Tear down the walls, just push on through, this life belongs to you!

We got this far, we got this far
This far...
We got this far, we got this far
This far...

we got this far on lies and secrets
Then fell apart at the seams
Now in these places, these empty spaces
we learn to, we learn to breathe


10. MODERN WARFARE

Screaming punctuates the night,
You have the choice to run and hide or stand and fight,
Death is coming, so answer the call,
Find strength in numbers or divided we fall.

You can see the signs are showing,
You can see this war is coming,
The end is near, you can't deny,
With your head up n' eyes open wide,
Keep your wits about you,
The only way you'll pull through,
We are what's keeping us alive,
And we're running out of time.

A new dawn is breaking,
The final page,
This land is ours for the taking,
Bring in the new age,
The stars foretold,
Our last day will come,
The skies will fall,
It won't help if we run.

You can see the signs are showing,
You can see this war is coming,
The end is near, you can't deny,
With your head up n' eyes open wide,
Keep your wits about you,
The only way you'll pull through,
We are what's keeping us alive,
And we're running out of time.

Crowds are running in fear,
Trying to make sense of it all,
But there's no easy way out,
Even with this time that we've spent speculating,
We're unprepared for what is coming our way,

The rivers now all run dry,
We've scorched the earth,
To the point of no return,
But still we burn, burn, burn,
Like a plague we have ravaged,
Until we all return to the dirt.

You can see the signs are showing,
You can see this war is coming,
The end is near, you can't deny,
With your head up n' eyes open wide,
Keep your wits about you,
The only way you'll pull through,
We are what's keeping us alive,
And we're running out of time.

Find strength in numbers or divided we fall,
Death is coming, so answer the call.


11. NIGHTS LIKE TONIGHT

What is it about the way that we can talk for hours
Never running out of things to say
I never could imagine you leaving
Until somehow I drove you further away
Now you’re gone and I see you were right
All this time

It’s time for new beginnings
This one we’ll start from scratch
Forget the moment you left
And things that we said
Kill the past and never look back

Let’s take a second lease on life
Another chance to make it last
Every mistake we made
Was just a figment of the past

You’ve got me dreaming
And I’ve got this feeling
Things may cave in like before
But let’s not relive the nightmares anymore

Been patiently trying to stop you from crying
Nothing I do seems to make it right
So I’m leaving tonight
Let’s go far from these crowds and the lights
Leave them behind

It’s time for new beginnings
This one we’ll start from scratch
Forget the moment you left
And things that we said
Kill the past and never look back

Let’s take a second lease on life
Another chance to make it last
Every mistake we made
Was just a figment of the past

Nights like tonight
Nights like tonight make all the difference

Nights like tonight
Just what I needed to clear my mind

Nights like tonight
Nights like tonight make all the difference

Nights like tonight
I found the answers I hoped to find

Things may change eventually
Just wait for it, just wait for it
We could be so much better
If we tried a little bit

Ready for the world
I reclaim my life
Let’s take it back

It’s time for new beginnings
This one we’ll start from scratch
Forget the moment you left
And things that we said
Kill the past and never look back

Let’s take a second lease on life
Another chance to make it last
Every mistake we made
Was just a figment of the past
