1. GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS

Good evening, sir
I have both good news and bad news
What do you want to hear first ?

But before you open your mouth and give me an excuse to
Strike you down with a bright lighting bolt
Let's just say that before you choose
You should know that either way you lose

It's a tough choice, I know. But that's how it goes
"Well if I have to know today, give me the good news first."

The Good News is that it's the end of the line
And all things heal with time, so just let go
The Bad News is that while time heals all wounds
It will eventually be the thing that kills you

Look, I know I can't live my life without
Eventually trusting in something bigger
It's just so hard for me to let things go
Even though I know it's beyond my control

It's a tough choice, I know. But that's how it goes
"Well if I have to know today, give me the good news first."

The Good News is that it's the end of the line
And all things heal with time, so just let go
The Bad News is that while time heals all wounds
It will eventually be the thing that kills you
And what's so wrong with that ?
Living forever is overrated
And after we take the first step towards forgiving ourselves
you know what happens ?
We're never the same
No, never again

It's a tough choice, I know. But that's how it goes
"Well if I have to know today, give me the good news first."

The Good News is that it's the end of the line
And all things heal with time, so just let go

The Good News is that it's the end of the line
And all things heal with time, so just let go
The Bad News is that while time heals all wounds
It will eventually be the thing that kills you
Living forever is overrated
And after we take the first step towards forgiving ourselves
you know what happens ?
We're never the same
No, never again


2. TWICE UPON A TIME (110%)

Twice upon a time
We made the same mistake
And fell so far behind

This place looks familiar
It feels like i've been here before
But i'm really not to sure
[not really to sure]

So i'm asking
Is it even possible
To forget what i've learned before and
Have to do this it all again ?
Back to the start where it all began and
I should have told you from the get go
I should have looked for something unconventional

Twice upon a time
We made the same mistake
And fell so far behind

Could you help me forget ?
I dont want to remember
All the mistakes i now regret

So i'm waiting
For the day that i learn
That dreaming someone else's dream
Is never the answer
But its's nobody's fault but my own

And i should have told you from the get go
I should have looked for something unconventionial

Twice upon a time
We made the same mistake
And fell so far behind

Arent we all looking for something unconventional ?
Hoping for a second chance
To start over again ?

I should of told you from the get go
I should have looked for something unconventionial

Twice upon a time
We made the same mistake
And fell so far behind

Next time i'll give one hundred and ten percent


3. 88 MILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY

88 million light years away
I dont want to pick up the pieces, I want to start sometihng new.
I want to start a brand new day, 88 million light years away.

It feels like im travelling at light speed in reverse
And as i mature everything on earth stays the same
And dont you doubt that I say the same prayer every night
I pray that when i wake up I'll find in 88 million light years away

I dont want to pick up the pieces, I want to start something new.
I want to start a brand new day, 88 million light years away.
I dont want to pick up the pieces, I want to start something new.
I want to start a brand new day, 88 million light years away.

What would it take to change the lines of your fingerprints ?
Because im convinced that something else better exists
And dont you doubt that i say the same prayer every night
I pray that when I wake up I'll find im 88 million light years away

I dont want to pick up the pieces, I want to start something new
I want to start a brand new day, 88 million light years away
I dont want to pick up the pieces, I want to start something new
I want to start a brand new day, 88 million light years away

Do you ever get the feeling ?

Do you ever get the feeling when you look around the room
That if you cut the person right next to you, sparks would fly out ?
Do you everget the feeling when you look around the room
That if you never came back it would be too soon ?
Do you ever get the feeling, when you look around the room
That not a damn thing in here is fresh or new ?

I dont want to pick up the pieces, I want to start something new
I want to start a brand new day, 88 million light years away.
I dont want to pick up the pices, I want to start something new.
I want to start a brand new day, 88 million light years away.
i dont want to pick up the pieces, i want to start something new.
i want to start a brand new day, 88 million light years away.
88 million light years away
88 million light years away


4. SWEEP THE LEG

Fear does not exist in the dojo

Put 'em in a body bag
Put 'em in a body bag

So let's say that we throw all those old idaes out the window
And let them crash to the floor below
I want to try, but i think i'm still learning
About what it takes to beat insecurity

Put 'em in a body bag
Fear does not exist in my dojo
Pain does not exist in my-
Put 'em in a body bag
Fear does not exist in my dojo
Pain does not exist in my-

We could map out a brand new road
And we could re-write the entire show
I know it's up to me to grow.
If I keep telling myself that I can change
I will keep trying until I find a way

Put 'em in a body bag
Fear does not exist in my dojo
Pain does not exist in my-
Put 'em in a body bag
Fear does not exist in my dojo
Pain does not exist in my-

Sign the papers, sign the papers
Make a commitment
If I tell myself that I can change, I will try until I find a way
Sign the papers, sign the papers
Make a commitment
If I tell myself that I can change, I will try until I find a way

It's not too late if you want to sweep the leg of life
It's not too late if you want to make things right this time
No mercy, no mercy
It's not too late if you want to sweep the leg of life

Put 'em in a body bag
Fear does not exist in my dojo
Pain does not exist in my-
Put 'em in a body bag
Fear does not exist in my dojo
Pain does not exist in my-
Put 'em in a body bag


5. THIS IS THE SOUNDTRACK

I'm so sick of waiting by the phone for destiny to call
I've been stuck playing the same part of this game for so long
And now I'm questioning the ending
Is there one in sight or am i fated to keep pressing ?
Every button until I finally see
It's actually one coin, one play

This is the soundtrack, of us never going back.
This is the soundtrack, of us never going back

Sailing, out into the ocean blue again
Without a compass or a direction
Searching for a map to get me out of here,
And if one exists I hope it starts to help me
figure out this dungeon's final puzzle
Can I warp past this part ?
It's too hard, I'm just flailing both my arms
But now i finally see it's actually one coin, one play

This is the soundtrack, of us ever going back.
This is the soundtrack, of us never going back
This is the soundtrack, the sound track
This is the soundtrack, of us never going back

We always think we will find a secret code that will fix everything,
But you cant unring a bell.
We always think we will find a secret code that will fix everything
But you cant unring a bell
We always think we will find a secret code that will fix everything
But you cant unring a bell
We always think we will find a secret code that will fix everything
But you cant unring a bell

You can't never unring a bell
You can't never unring a bell

I'm so sick of waiting by the phone for destiny to call
I'm so sick of waiting by the phone for destiny to call
One coin, one play

This is the soundtrack, of us ever going back.
This is the soundtrack, of us never going back
This is the soundtrack, the sound track
This is the soundtrack, of us never going back

We always think we will find a secret code that will fix everything
But you cant unring a bell

You can never unring a bell


6. SCENES RUSHING BY

We are scenes rushing by, and it's love that keeps us alive
We are scenes rushing by, and it's love that keeps us alive...

On the corner of California and Mason
I step off the curb, and then I face it
In the headlights, I see it flash
Like a slow motion rocketblast
I'm flying through the airm
And now I see that every sign was there
I'm falling through time, and I keep repeating this line :

We are scenes rushing by, and it's love that keeps us alive
We are scenes rushing by, and it's love that keeps us alive...

I can't tell if I'm dying, or falling in love, or all of the above
In this ocean of feeling, I remember every scene
And feel them being washed clean
The pavement becomes clouds, the ground is spinning around,
And memories are turned upside down
I'm falling through time, and i keep repeating this line :

We are scenes rushing by, and it's love that keeps us alive
We are scenes rushing by, and it's love that keeps us alive

We're already dead, living in someone's head
As a flashback, as a memory, as a photograph with a love note on the back
We're already dead, living in someone's head
As a flashback, as a memory, as a photograph with a love note on the back

I'm falling through time
And I keep repeating this line :

We are scenes rushing by, and it's love that keeps us alive
Living in someone's head,
As a flash back, as a memory, as a photograph with a love note on the back
We are scenes rushing by, and it's love that keeps us alive
Living in someone's head,
As a flash back, as a memory, as a photograph with a love note on the back

You cant ignore your fate...


7. EWTRA! EXTRA! (HEART ALL ABOUT IT)

Extra! Extra! Hear all about it!

Consider these words a call to arms
Don't mistake this for a false alarm
We've got to unite to save what is left of our lives
The revolution beings on the day you kill your TV
And redefine the meaning of beauty

Sing with me
Extra! Extra! Hear all about it!
The headline on the front page
Extra! Extra! Hear all about it!
Between the lines everyday

Reality with a pretty face

You want to look like a model now
You want to show me your guest list from the party last night
Curb your consumerism, then try and tell me what to be
Quick as a sneeze, there goes your popularity

Sing with me
Extra! Extra! Hear all about it!
The headline on the front page

8. ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE

The robots march in line to get to work
Because it's almost punch-in time
We've traded in our lives for deadlines only met overtime
And for each hour they own us we work towards our bonus

We've been following the script for so long
We forgot who we are

Just another day nothing ever changes
How did my life become 9 to 5 ?
We've been following the script for so long
We forgot who we are
We can only work this shift for so long

Let's shake hands and talk statistics
As we try our best to act pretentious
I still smile everyday
And make believe that life was meant to be this way
But inside I'm starving for something to real

We've been following the script for so long
We forgot who we are
But inside I'm starving for something real

Just another day nothing ever changes
How did my life become 9 to 5 ?
We've been following the script for so long
We forgot who we are
We can only work this shift for so long

It comes down to : work, eat, sleep, repeat

Just another day nothing ever changes
How did my life become 9 to 5 ?
We've been following the script for so long
We forgot who we are
We can only work this shift for so long

Work, eat, sleep, repeat


9. OH NO

Oh no, you changed your mind on me
Oh no, another 180
Oh no, I thought I knew everything
Oh no, but it wasn't meant to be

Think back to all the things you said to me
"We could beat the world, we can do anything"
Now you say you've changed
But it's hard for me to believe
It didn't mean anything to you
Think back to the things you did with me
Talking Kerovac, over coffee
Holding up our fists to yell, "I'll never be a zombie!"

Oh no, you changed your mind on me
Oh no, another 180
Oh no, I thought I knew everything
Oh no, but it wasn't meant to be

Now every movie that I go to see
That has a love scene, I think of you and me
Driving in my car with a ballad on the radio
Every word is meant to be for you
Think about the promise you made to me
In the back seat, you said you loved me
Now thing aren't the same, and it kills me to watch you
To walking down the hallway with that guy
What does he have besides money and charm and grace ?
Wait don't answer that, I really meant to say that everyday I yell, "Didn't need you anyway!"

Oh no, you changed your mind on me
Oh no, another 180
Oh no, I thought I knew everything
Oh no, but it wasn't meant to be

Oh God, what is it going to
Take to get over you ?
Oh God, what is it going to
Take to get over you ?
Oh God, what is it going to
Take to get over you ?

Oh no, you changed your mind on me
Oh no, another 180
Oh no, I thought I knew everything
Oh no, but it wasn't meant to be


10. SMILE, YOU'RE ON TV

You are a target demographic

Smile, because you're on TV
A stunning documentary of what life is like growing up in America
Fast food life, quicker than a drive-thru
Commercial filled nights, selling us what's cool
We can do anything, because we saw it on TV
You are a target demographic
We can blame everything, and sue for more money than we deserve
You are a target demographic

Smile, because you're a superstar
Everybody now know who you are, because you snuck inside your school and shot them all
You did it for the fame, and so we'd remember your name
The experts will say it's caused by video games
We can do anything, because we saw it on TV
You are a target demographic
We can blame everything, and sue for more money than we deserve
You are a target demographic

Smile, because you're on TV
They've turned our insecurities into sweeps week
This is reality in the 21st century
With a murder on every screen, let me show you the latest ratings
Sign my petition please, to get Tom Cruise to play me in my movies in the week
How cool would that be?
I just secured a book deal
I'm signing autographs, and a seven-figure contract
For a network television mini-series and now:

We can do anything, because we saw it on TV
We can blame everything, and take no responsibility
You are a target demographic
Smile, because you're on TV
They've turned our insecurities into sweeps week

Say cheese


11. THE JOKE IS ON US

At 6:15AM, I wake up from the same nightmare again
It's that one where I'm 100 years old and living alone without love
Everything I had was dressed and draped in velvet black
And words in the sky asked : "Where do we go after the sun goes down ?"
Staring at myself, I rub my hands against my face
As if the answer would come if I pushed hard enough

Is it cliche to ask for a sign ? Am I doing something right?
Is this really the punch line ? Can it be true that
Now, the joke is on us this time ?
A common mistake we often make is that we think there is a finish line

I really used to think that my story would go, "and then, and then, and then,"
I kept waiting for the beginning to end
I kept waiting for something to happen
I don't want to turn the page if I know how it ends
I already know the opponent wins, so what's the point ?
Our time has one foot in the grave, so bury me now
And forever erase my name from each page

There's a checklist in my pocket with none of the boxes marked
And it's too late for me to start
Can it be true now ?

The joke is on us this time
A common mistake we often make is that we think there is a finish line

What if this is as good as it gets ?
What if this is as good as it gets ?
And in the end, we aren't left with answers
We're left with choices
