1. DRAINED

What we had, we threw away
We were close to heaven, but we ended up in hell
What we had, we threw away

Just cause the hurt doesn't show
There's no way to recover, you broke my heart in two
I had a dream of growing old
I saw us driving to the end of the road

We had this world of make believe
I thought I saw the fire in your eyes

You ripped the heart out
You ripped the heart out
You ripped the heart out of my will to survive
You ripped the heart out
You ripped the heart out
You killed the part of me that kept us alive

I'm drained and out of phase
I was shooting straight but you stole my aim
Could have walked for miles
We were supposed to be the end of the line

We had this world of make believe
I thought I saw the fire in your eyes

You ripped the heart out
You ripped the heart out
You ripped the heart out of my will to survive
You ripped the heart out
You ripped the heart out
You killed the part of me that kept us alive

We had this world of make believe
I thought I saw the fire in your eyes

You ripped the heart out
You ripped the heart out
You ripped the heart out of my will to survive
You ripped the heart out
You ripped the heart out
You killed the part of me that kept us alive


2. THE END

I got a new kind of fear
Something you don't want to view
There's this path that I can see
It leads straight to misery
We can't undo what we have done
Just face what's up ahead
We fight and we stumble
The fuse is lit, you better run now

I can't tell you what to do
This crossroad is your own
But I know what we'll become
We'll be outlaws on the run

Do you think about the end?
The words you say with your last breath
And the emptiness in space
Do you think about the end?
That slow last breath of air
The words you say with your last breath
And the emptiness in space

What if I say to you
Let’s leave this earth for a while
A perspective from the hollow
And the wheel we can’t control

I can't tell you what to do
This crossroad is your own
But I know what we'll become
We'll be outlaws on the run

Do you think about the end?
The words you say with your last breath
And the emptiness in space
Do you think about the end?
That slow last breath of air
The words you say with your last breath
And the emptiness in space

And the emptiness in space
And the emptiness in space

When we were young
Was this the dream we had?
We are celebrating nothing
We need to find our way back
When we were young
Was this the dream we had?
We are celebrating nothing
We need to find our way back
When we were young
Was this the dream we had?
We are celebrating nothing
We need to find our way back

I can't tell you what to do
This crossroad is your own
But I know what we'll become
We'll be outlaws on the run

Do you think about the end?
The words you say with your last breath
And the emptiness in space
Do you think about the end?
That slow last breath of air
The words you say with your last breath
And the emptiness in space


3. LIKE SAND

I believe that the whole wide world is against me
I believe that the whole wide world is afraid of me

How did I end up here
Half a life and still full of fears
If I am honest I think you'll see
I'm scared to shit what's coming for me

You say make the most of your time
But How does it work when it's on your side
What can't kill you makes you stronger
So I heard but I'm going under

I will try
I will try

I want the whole world in my hands
But it keep slipping through like sand

I try hard to be like you
You're my queen but I break in two
I think I can overcome
All the mistakes that I've done

You say make the most of your time
But How does it work when it's on your side
What can't kill you makes you stronger
So you say, but I'm going under

I will try
I will try

I want the whole world in my hands
But it keep slipping through like sand
I want the whole world in my hands
But it keep slipping through like sand

I believe that the whole wide world is afraid of me

I want the whole world in my hands
But it keep slipping through like sand
I want the whole world in my hands
But it keep slipping through like sand


4. THE TRUTH

We are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are

The time has come to bring you down
Take the power back and show you how

I hear the sound of a plane passing by
Someone have the same thoughts as I
But as I get to the end of mine
You deny and think everything is fine

We are, we are, we are
We are the truth that hurts the most, 'cause
We are, we are, we are
It hurts when your denial's exposed
It hurts when your denial's exposed

Why can't we see eye to eye?
Think of all the things we leave behind

I hear the sound of a car driving by
You can go on for miles
But you will run out, this is not your day
Are you just gonna turn around and walk away?

We are, we are, we are
We are the truth that hurts the most, 'cause
We are, we are, we are
It hurts when your denial's exposed
It hurts when your denial's exposed

But as I get to the end of mine
You deny and think everything is fine

We are, we are, we are
We are the truth that hurts the most, 'cause
We are, we are, we are
It hurts when your denial's exposed
It hurts when your denial's exposed


5. IN MY ROOM

Here in my room
I'm behind the wall
I'm out of reach
I don't sympathize

Adjusting the level of delusion
Feel like you're one of the same
Encoding the white noise
Lose my way and fall again

Creating dreams from a broken past
It tears a hole and sucks you dry
If you know secrets, tell me now
Creating dreams, let the worlds collide
Escape the void and feel alive
Don't have the answers but I'll survive

Here in my room
I'm behind the wall
Away from the flock
Closure will come

Adjusting the high of expectation
Feel like you're out of the brave
Dig deeper
Find a new path and climb again

Creating dreams from a broken past
It tears a hole and sucks you dry
If you know secrets, tell me now
Creating dreams, let the worlds collide
Escape the void and feel alive
Don't have the answers but I'll survive

Creating dreams from a broken past
It tears a hole and sucks you dry
If you know secrets, tell me now
Creating dreams, let the worlds collide
Escape the void and feel alive
Don't have the answers but I'll survive


6. BEFORE I FALL

How far to go, I'll never know
I pushed too hard, so you ran away
I know you bleed for me
And you know I die for you

As yearning with open eyes
From darkness to light

The cold is real that I know
The scars I feel but I won't let go
I know that I can find the meaning of it all
Put my fears behind before I fall

My will to be something more
Say the right words and be what I've promised
I know you bleed for me
I know I will die for you

As yearning with open eyes
From darkness to light

The cold is real that I know
The scars I feel but I won't let go
I know that I can find the meaning of it all
Put my fears behind before I fall

The cold is real that I know
The scars I feel but I won't let go
I know that I can find the meaning of it all
Put my fears behind before I fall


7. THROUGH MY EYES

You did me wrong and I applauded you
I became the blade and I pierced through

Now hiding from the world outside
Trying to create magic for the pacified

You never felt the answers
Were aimed at you, my friend
Did you find yourself lost
In the world We swore to protect?

If you could see it, if you could see it through my eyes
Why are we so different
Want you to feel it, want you to know what it was like
Then maybe you understand

You always did perfer to keep me on distance
So no wonder it served as your riddance

You never felt the answers
Were aimed at you, my friend
Did you find yourself lost
In the world We swore to protect?

If you could see it, if you could see it through my eyes
Why are we so different
Want you to feel it, want you to know what it was like
Then maybe you understand

If you could see it through my eyes
If you could see it through my eyes

You never felt the answers
Were aimed at you, my friend
Did you find yourself lost
In the world We swore to protect?

If you could see it, if you could see it through my eyes
Why are we so different
Want you to feel it, want you to know what it was like
Then maybe you understand


8. BATTLES

Pain... you're not my friend and despise you
Friend... you're in pain and I adore you

What are you waiting for?
I'm here, let's consume it all
Before they take it all away

I hear them from the other side
As I sit and let the day go by
Trying to see see if the world is still alive
Let the day go by

Insane... to be caged when you're to blame
Blame... break free from insanity to praise you

What are you waiting for?
I'm here, let's consume it all
Before they take it all away

I hear them from the other side
As I sit and let the day go by
Trying to see see if the world is still alive
Let the day go by

What are you waiting for?
I'm here, let's consume it all
Before they take it all away

I hear them from the other side
As I sit and let the day go by
Trying to see see if the world is still alive
Let the day go by


9. HERE UNTIL FOREVER

I can't wait to hear your voice again
I am far from lonely but without you I'm a mess
I close my eyes and drift away
I'm wondering what you are doing now

When I look at you, I see me
We will always be part of history
When l look at you, I see me
Here until Forever I will always be

Mind and soul we are the same
A hand on your heart you know I am there
You are my lighthouse in the dark
I can see you from a thousand miles

Forever I will always be

When I look at you, I see me
We will always be part of history
When l look at you, I see me
Here until Forever I will always be

I hope you feel that nothing dies
I am alive in all you touch

Close my eyes and drift away
Wondering what you are doing now
Wondering what you are doing right now

When I look at you, I see me
We will always be part of history
When l look at you, I see me
Here until Forever I will always be


10. UNDERNEATH MY SKIN

Waiting for miracles appear
All the heights I did aspire seems forever gone
A torn and shredded grin to fit the blackened day
Shoveling the ashes from the times of selfish ways

I'm taking more than I can give
Is this the life I wanna live? The life I wanna live?
There's nothing underneath my skin
Is this the life I wanna live? The life I wanna live?

Falling like stars from the sky
Burned out before the trial and are forever gone
Kneel and pray to find the right way back inside
Been to hell and back but still feel I'm blind

I'm taking more than I can give
Is this the life I wanna live? The life I wanna live?
There's nothing underneath my skin
Is this the life I wanna live? The life I wanna live?

I'm taking more than I can give
Is this the life I wanna live? The life I wanna live?
There's nothing underneath my skin
Is this the life I wanna live? The life I wanna live?


11. WALLFLOWER

I like to look at you from a distance
I like when you scream in my face
Afraid to say the right words in right order
So they make sense to a person with such grace

What if my dreams don't become reality?
Is my life just a big mistake?
Will I be happy for the times I had
Or would I reconsider and recalculate?

I wanna be heard but leave no trace
I wanna be seen but take no space
I wanna be, I wanna be, leave no trace
I wanna be, I wanna be, take no space

The older I get, the younger I feel
The younger I feel, the older I seem
The more I feel, my age seems real
I Like to pretend I'm as young as I feel

I wanna be heard but leave no trace
I wanna be seen but take no space
I wanna be, I wanna be, leave no trace
I wanna be, I wanna be, take no space

I wanna be heard but leave no trace
I wanna be seen but take no space
I wanna be, I wanna be, leave no trace
I wanna be, I wanna be, take no space


12. SAVE ME

Here's a hammer, build a ladder
It's a long way up to heaven
If I dig, it might take as long
But maybe in hell, that's where I belong

Seven days and seven nights
Avoiding heat from the fires
And I have walked this path before

I'm afraid I'll lose it all

WIll somebody save me?
Somebody save me
I've been trying so hard but I can't see that far
So save me

Just let it rain, I'd rather stay away
From the laughs of the common and the company of crows
Memories they fade, but I'm far too awake
Welcome to my charade

I'm afraid I'll lose it all

WIll somebody save me?
Somebody save me
I've been trying so hard but I can't see that far
So save me

Just let it rain, I'd rather stay away
From the laughs of the common and the company of crows
Memories they fade, but I'm far too awake
Welcome to my charade

I'm afraid I'll lose it all

WIll somebody save me?
Somebody save me
I've been trying so hard but I can't see that far
So save me


13. GREATEST GREED

I told you once, I told you twice
I told you a third time, and still, you’re backing out
I hear you once, I hear you twice
You start to scream and still it doesn't count

(Oh...) so here we are
What’s left of us will come to an end
(Oh...) so here we are

My head’s a mess (mess), my broken bones (bones)
Feel like a victim, but you’re not in control
You’re filled with rage, one last mistake
You are no victim, just one without a soul

(Oh...) so here we are
What’s left of us will come to an end
(Oh...) so here we are

Why? Why? – Don’t you walk away?
Why? Why? – Don’t you walk away?

The same old sound, one, two, three times
The greatest greed is just an empty dream

(Oh...) so here we are
What’s left of us will come to an end
(Oh...) so here we are

(Oh...) so here we are
What’s left of us will come to an end
(Oh...) so here we are

Why? Why? – Don’t you walk away?
Why? Why? – Don’t you walk away?


14. US AGAINST THE WORLD

I wish you would've listened
Can you hear me now?

You’re in control, the thin red line
A change in life, the pride, the cries
The lesson we should learn from lies
Dance across the sky, conqueror of pain
The abandoned reign, you should be lord amongst the flies

I wish you would've listened
Can you hear me now?

Tell me what to do, I’m right beside you
It’s us against the world
This can only end one way, let’s seize the day
It’s us against the world!

Oh, through the cracks, a new voice appears
Dividing the clouds, the horizon, the hope
From the most lonesome nights

I wish you would’ve listened
Can you hear me now?

Tell me what to do, I’m right beside you
It’s us against the world
This can only end one way, let’s seize the day
It’s us against the world!

It’s us against the world
Us against the world
It’s us against the world

I wish you would've listened
Can you hear me now?

Tell me what to do, I’m right beside you
It’s us against the world
This can only end one way, let’s seize the day
It’s us against the world
This can only end one way, let’s seize the day
It’s us against the world!
