Lyrics


1. ANTHEM OF THE LONELY

A heart made of stone
Callous and bone
Fracture and tear it out
To let it go
And to think
I called it my own
And I would have never thought
The pain could grow

So I'll break it
Knowing what you said
The pain is what you make it
Sadly you are so mistaken
I will take it with a grain
And step into the changes
Throw away the empty heart

Right now
Never want to leave this place and
Right now
See it in a different way so
Right now
Even if you take me home
I'll stand, the lonely
Stand, the lonely

It's harder to know
Just where to go
If only the stars aligned
The sunsets glowed
I don't need
A calm in the storm
Or something to scream about
With empty lungs


2. THE INTERVENTION

If I could breathe
The whole world is out
And they wanna get me to bleed
And these stolen seconds
They were never mine
So if you believe
Somehow you killed your dream
Just listen close to mine

Wait, this whole intervention is mine
I'm failing to mention

Tame
We'll start the crossing with the simple lines
Wake up on he other side of
Sane
Still held in place, they blame the simple lines
Wake up to the dreams that we have made
The dreams that we have made

See, if we let them take what was ours to conceive
Then these circumstances, they will never die
So if you believe the world has killed your dreams
Then take your turn to shine

Indeed, the brilliant invention is mine
I have their attention

Wait
This whole intervention is mine
I'm failing to mention
Today
Though the world has cemented its heart
It's starting to break


3. GET BACK

I guess you don't believe me now
You never wanted this
Back turned and the wind is all you have
It's all you needed

You're all right, you're all right now
(You believe what you want to)
Gone somehow, you've gone somehow
But I'm waiting for you

Get back to where you once believed
Get back, get back
You want so bad to bury me
Get back, get back

A far cry from a picture perfect calm
Or can you see it?
A bright light from a distance leaves you dark
You're never free here

You're all right, you're all right now
(You believe what you want to)
Gone somehow, you've gone somehow
But I'm waiting for you

Get back to where you once believed
Get back, get back
You want so bad to bury me
Get back, get back

You never noticed what I had in mind (had in mind)
I made a way but you have run so far now
Whatever thing that you just had to find (had to find)
You'll never see it but it kills you slowly
Yeah, it's gonna kill you slowly
Yeah, it's gonna kill you slowly

Get back to where you once believed
Get back, get back
You want so bad to bury me
Get back, get back

Get back to where you once believed
Get back, get back
You want so bad to bury me
Get back, get back


4. AFTERGLOW

Our story time is told
And I'm blinded by the afterglow
Can you hear me dear?
Now I'm thumbing through the pages
Of the beautifully romantic years
I can hear you, dear (I can hear you, dear)

'Cause right in front of me
You disappear
You're still vanishing
You left me here

I stand here today
So far from the same
It's hard to move on without you
So my God fill these spaces left in me
I'm so near to lost, but I'm not
So near to lost, but I'm not alone

Dear daddy, don't you miss me?
'Cause in heaven there's no room for tears
I can feel you here
As I'm thumbing through the pages
Seems forever's just too far away
When we meet again
I'll remember when

Right in front of me
You disappeared
You're still vanishing
You left me here

I stand here today
So far from the same
It's hard to move on without you
So my God fill these spaces left in me
I'm so near to lost, but I'm not
So near to lost, but I'm not all alone
Not all alone
I'm not all alone
I'm not all alone

I stand here today
So far from the same
It's hard to move on without you
So my God fill these spaces left in me
I'm so near to lost, but I'm not

I stand here today
So far from the same
It's hard to move on without you
So my God fill these spaces left in me
I'm so near to lost, but I'm not
I'm everything but lost cause I'm not alone


5. ADRENALINE

How many people wanna get this started?
(You know who you are)
From the front to the back, do you want it?

This life is never simple
And never quite serene
The sky is open
But I can't believe it's open to me

This time I'm taking chances
The chance is all a dream
This time I'll pick up the pieces
Never really thought that I could feel this

How many people wanna get this started?
(Yeah! Yeah!)
From the front to the back, do you want it?
(Yeah! Yeah!)

Then listen to me step up
If you wanna feel this music
(Don't stop it, keep rockin')
Adrenaline phenomenon let's use it
(No need to prove it, just use it)

You know who you are
Deep down in your heart
You've come so far
(Don't you run of time it's now or never?)
(Bursting at the rest of your life forever)
You know who you are
Deep down in your heart
You've come so far
(Hold me back once that's a warning)
(Hold me back again then you will be sorry)

If I can take me somewhere
If I can find the means
If I can touch the things I
Never thought would be in my reach
My time is leaving me here
No friend of mine it seems
So I will pick up the piece
And never give it up since I can see this

How many people wanna get this started?
(Yeah! Yeah!)
From the front to the back, do you want it?
(Yeah! Yeah!)

Then listen to me step up
If you wanna feel this music
(Don't stop it, keep rockin')
Adrenaline phenomenon let's use it
(No need to prove it, just use it)

You know who you are
Deep down in your heart
You've come so far
(Don't you run of time it's now or never?)
(Bursting at the rest of your life forever)
You know who you are
Deep down in your heart
You've come so far
(Hold me back once that's a warning)
(Hold me back again then you will be sorry)

How many people wanna get this started?
From the front to the back, do you want it?

How many people wanna get this started?
(Yeah! Yeah!)
From the front to the back, do you want it?
(Yeah! Yeah!)

You know who you are
Deep down in your heart
You've come so far
(Don't you run of time it's now or never?)
(Bursting at the rest of your life forever)
You know who you are
Deep down in your heart
You've come so far
(Hold me back once that's a warning)
(Hold me back again then you will be sorry)

You know who you are
(Step up if you wanna feel this music)
(Don't stop it, keep rockin')
You've come so far
(Don't you run of time it's now or never?)
(Bursting at the rest of your life forever)
You know who you are
(Adrenaline phenomenon let's use it)
(No need to prove it, just use it)
You've come so far


6. BELIEVE YOUR EYES

Strange
The color seems to change
So crystal is the world we view (the world we view)
Wait
I feel it changing state
Dripping what we thought we knew (we thought we knew)

It's all rushing to me

Can anybody see?
You won't believe your eyes
A stranger to me
You won't believe your eyes

The rain
The subtle shades of gray
Have all but found their way from here (their way from here)
The sounds
Of color streaming down
Is inches from the heart, I hear (the heart, I hear)

If I could just let it in

Can anybody see?
You won't believe your eyes
A stranger to me
You won't believe your eyes

It's just what I know that I've lost
I'm a stranger here, and it's time I'll be letting it go
Off to the sky, find me the way
Oh this feeling of mine, of mine

Can anybody see?
You won't believe your eyes
A stranger to me
You won't believe your eyes

Can anybody see?
You won't believe your eyes
A stranger to me
You won't believe your eyes


7. OUR DARKEST DAY

The ache isn't all
What we remember from cliques
Can we breath at all?
Collapsing from the way

Till I wake up
Screaming to lift you out
It's all that I can do
Today's when I will...

Scream
My lungs will break under my strain
All the way, all the way into your dreams
I won't believe you loved in vain
You never loved in vain

The strain's just a child
Just remember not to change
And all made to rise
The things that never fade

So I'll wake up
Screaming to lift you out
It's all that I can do
Today's when I will...

Scream
My lungs will break under my strain
All the way, all the way into your dreams
I won't believe you loved in vain
You never loved in vain

I live, I fail
So hear me now
Through the darkest night
I will scream your name aloud

Today's when I will
Scream
My lungs will break under my strain
A way unto your dreams
I won't believe you loved in vain
You never loved in vain


8. MEMO

If I could take what I so believe in
Draping its hand in front of me with it all
And I'm ever reaching
Straight from this heart in me

It's the tallest I've ever seen it
Strange in this place of little dreams
Like a wall in my sure to be things
Standing in spite of me
It's all I ever wanted

And I won't give up on a dream
It's all or nothing
The sound of doubt I'll never need
It's all or nothing

If I could blame the right kind of evil
Then maybe my fall would be undone
But then why would I build a fable
To carry this burden on?

So it's on to write down the sequel
As real as it gets with brick and stone
And the heart is not weak, but able
And strong cause I'm holding on
To all I ever wanted

And I won't give up on a dream
It's all or nothing
The sound of doubt I'll never need
It's all or nothing

And I won't give up on a dream
It's all or nothing
The sound of doubt I'll never need
It's all or nothing

And I want it
I breathe it out
Never needed
I want it out
Though I want it
I breathe it out
Never needed
I want it out
Though I want it
I breathe it out

And I won't give up on a dream
It's all or nothing
The sound of doubt I'll never need
It's all or nothing

And I won't give up on a dream
It's all or nothing
The sound of doubt I'll never need
It's all or nothing


9. WRITE IT DOWN

I've been waiting for things to change
Such loss of time and it's still the same
They'll raise the questions
But they'll kill the answers

Write it down
Scream it aloud
Don't let it go
There's so many deafened ears
So dead in wrong
Cause simple is as simple goes
If only the deaf would hear

Focus found the center once again
Just remember the change is all there is
Cause they'll break the questions on me
Till I give the answer

Write it down
Scream it aloud
Don't let it go
There's so many deafened ears
So dead in wrong
Cause simple is as simple goes
If only the deaf would hear

I can make the sound
They can't hear me
I can make the sound
They can't hear me
If I state the obvious, I'm alone
Wrapped up in all this on my own

Write it down
Scream it aloud
Don't let it go
There's so many deafened ears
So dead in wrong
Cause simple is as simple goes
If only the deaf would hear

So dead in wrong
Cause simple is as simple goes
If only the deaf would hear


10. THE VOID

What sort of place is this?
How did it get this far?
We'd never hear them say
We'll never become

It's like a dream in a sense
I never saw this far
But I see the fault
It's like it's never enough

So please just say
Where do you go
If nothing can satisfy
I've wasted all this time
I'm finding the road
And tonight the sky
Is burning bright for me

I'm pleading innocence
They'll never see these scars
Just like the world
To try and tear us apart

But I won't forget
I'll see this through
To the end

So please just say
Where do you go
If nothing can satisfy
I've wasted all this time
I'm finding the road
And tonight the sky
Is burning bright for me

Where do you go?
Where do you find your home?
Or satisfy your hunger?

So please just say
Where do you go
If nothing can satisfy
I've wasted all this time
I'm finding the road
And tonight the sky
Is burning bright for me


11. MY FRIEND

Sit down, escape your lonely day
My treat, the love is on me
You seem so tired, and I'm understanding
So tell your story

You stumble but it's alright

Say what you want to me, my friend
The words are growing bigger in my head
So take all you want from me, my friend
Even if it is nothing at all

You wanted all that your eyes could see
Maybe it will all be dealt in time
But the world will never see you eye to eye
Or heart to heart, I know this

You stumble but it's alright

Say what you want to me, my friend
The words are growing bigger in my head
So take all you want from me, my friend
Even if it is nothing at all

You stumble but it's alright

Say what you want to me, my friend
The words are growing bigger in my head
So take all you want from me, my friend
Even if it is nothing at all
Is nothing at all
Is nothing at all

You stumble, the world spinning around you, now
