1. SYMPTOMS OF A SYSTEM

It's a disease, this is a wrecking ball waiting in line
It's a disease, we're all just waiting in line
It's life spent putting holes through the hearts of Buildings

There was a man back there on his hands and knees
In a confident voice voice he said he was dying
He breaths in toxins as a breath of fresh air
He was wearing a brand new suit

Your glass body will self destruct
In time for everyone to see right through you
No one's home, leave a note that won't be answered

It's a battle against the reflection
Your framework is crumbling to the ground
It's a battle against the reflection
Your fingerprints are ghosts among us

Your glass body will self destruct
In time for everyone to see right through you
No one's home, leave a note that won't be answered
I should've known

Without your own skin you're living inside out
You're living in a body with no lungs to breath for itself
So speak for yourself, breath for yourself


2. TIMING IS EVERYTHING

The key's in the ignition
We're going home, going home
And there's nowhere to go but home
There's nowhere to go

Timing is everything we need
It is the only thing that's keeping us from leaving

Trust me, trust me
We'll be there soon
We'll be there soon

Our wheels are stuck in the mud
Our wheels are stuck in the mud
And with the storm rolling in,
It looks like this could be the end
It looks like this could be the end

There's a gaping hole, it's so big
The pressure in my chest, the pressure in my chest
It won't let go, it won't let go
There's a gaping hole, it's so big

Make me believe
And give me a taste of what this could be
Make me believe
And trust me, we'll be there, we'll be there soon

Timing is everything we need
It is the only thing that's keeping us from leaving

And we promise to never, to never write
Instead of selling my soul, I'm giving it away
Instead of selling my soul, I'm giving it away

Make me believe
And give me a taste of what this could be
Make me believe
And trust me, we'll be there, we'll be there soon

I'm breathing,
God I hope I'm breathing
Keep your hands on my chest and wait for a beat
I'll keep your trust in my arms and pain in my feet
I'm breathing,
God I hope I'm breathing
I'm breathing,
God I hope I'm breathing

Make me believe
And give me a taste of what this could be
Make me believe
Make me believe
And give me a taste of what this could be
Make me believe
And trust me we'll be there soon


3. RUNNING THE CLOCKS

The stars were bright before we got here
But our choices sent them into the darkness

Before we know it, they will be reunited
And looking for revenge

If I could run the clocks, I would
But their hands are out of mine
Their hands are out of mine
I told them to turn around
But the future was on their minds
It was on their minds

The stars were safe before we got here
But our attraction brought them to the ground

Before we know it, they will be reunited
And looking for revenge

If I could run the clocks, I would
But their hands are out of mine
Their hands are out of mine
I told them to turn around
But the future was on their minds
It was on their minds
This can't amount to much of anything
This can't amount to much of anything
This is the part we wait for and we need to close our eyes
This is the part we wait for and we need to close our eyes
I'm nauseous thinking about the possibilities
Not even the greatest astronomers could explain this

If I could run the clocks, I would
But their hands are out of mine
Their hands are out of mine
I told them to turn around
But the future was on their minds
It was on their minds

If I could run the clocks, I would
But their hands are out of mine
If I could run the clocks, I would
But their hands are out of mine


4. RECOVERY

Your shadows are back from the dead
Creeping over the hills
And making their name
They leave you lifeless
Don't let them make your choices
Take control and ignore their every word
Your skin is tougher than your bones
Recovery, she always means well
Recovery, uncover this for me
I can see it in her eyes reaching out for a helping hand
Take my hand and take my word
Help is on it's way, just breath slowly
Trust the medic because he has everything you'll need
This can't be right, the signs point east but we're going West
As long as you're not heading the way you came
Please let this be the turning point
When the past gets left behind
Send a signal to the ones you love
Because help is on it's way
And your shadows are back from the dead
Why can't we get this right?
Send a signal


5. ESCAPE

I hope you're comfortable
Just sit down, sit down
Where to start, I have no idea
We'll try to find shelter from this pouring rain
I think I see it
Home isn't where you make it anymore

Who would have thought we'd make it this far
Now I don't know where to go

So I'll escape, escape to where I need to be
The water's getting higher and I need to breathe
Where do we go now, I'll ask you once again
With our lungs gone, our lives are gone

Open up my chest, you'll find no heart for this
Curiosity has taken over my insides
Eating away at my bones
When does this end

Who would have thought we'd make it this far
Now I don't know where to go

So I'll escape, escape to where I need to be
The water's getting higher and I need to breathe
Where do we go now, I'll ask you once again
With our lungs gone, our lives are gone

Where do we go now
The windshield crashes in and our memory starts to sprint Away
The dust kicks up and our site is gone, oh, I didn't know

Show me that we're living
Show me what we're made of
Show me where to go


6. DREAMCATCHER

The wind carries dreams like they're feathers
While they're falling like a safe, I'm saving like a safe
Kiss the conscious, while I kill the king
Kiss the conscious, while I kill the king

Can't we find a safe place to put ourselves
We can't turn around
We can't turn around
We were hanging by a thread that wouldn't give in
With a new set of arms the sky is in reach

Opportunity rises while we close our eyes
We close eyes, now we're living
Now we're living what was in the back of our minds
Now or never could be our last decision
So pull our dreams from our sleep
Kiss the conscious, while I kill the king
Kiss the conscious, while I kill the king

Can't we find a safe place to put ourselves
We can't turn around
We can't turn around
We were hanging by a thread that wouldn't give in
With a new set of arms the sky is in reach

Kiss the conscious, while I kill the king
Kiss the conscious, while I kill the -
Can't we find a safe place to put ourselves
We were hanging by a thread that wouldn't give in
We were hanging by a thread that wouldn't give in

Kiss the conscious, kill the king
Kiss the conscious, kill the -

We struck gold!
Where we wanted it to be
This is the fortune we found


7. FORECASTING

We've fallen down on our way to the top
On our way to the top
I'm trying to find the right words
I'm trying to find the right words
We've almost lost our grip on this
As we look up at the edge
As we look up at the edge
We find gravity defying us
And now we're face first in a fist full of setbacks
We'll make our way to the top
We'll pave the way to the top
We'll pave the way

We'll take this next step onward
Because we can't afford to look back now
Don't look back down
We'll take this next step onward

Listen in for the voices
Listen in for the voices

The forecast said the storm would miss
We knew they were wrong when the wind rushed in
The forecast said the storm would miss
We knew they were wrong when the wind rushed in

We'll take this next step onward
Because we can't afford to look back now
Don't look back down
We'll take this next step onward

Listen in for the voices
Listen in for the voices
Listen in for the voices
Listen in for the voices

And while you're looking for the doctor
I'll be looking for the medication
I'll be looking for the medication
And while you're looking for the doctor
I'll be looking for the medication
I'll be looking for the medication
And while you're looking for


8. SURVIVING DISASTERS

Say farewell to the anchor
This ship is sailing away
This ship is sailing away

Say farewell to the anchor
This ship is sailing away
And as we watch the sky consume it's remains
We watch the sky consume it's remains

And we swim to shore
We swim to shore
There is no surviving disasters like these
So before we go our separate ways we'll plan where to meet
There is no surviving this with the way we're living

Say farewell to my fate
Because I've found myself digging my own grave
I'm trying to find a new direction
But every sign points toward the ground

As we washed up on the shore
Our legs brushed the sand
As we washed up on the shore
Our legs brushed the sand

And before we go our separate ways we'll plan where to meet
There is no surviving disasters like these
And before we go our separate ways we'll plan where to meet
There is no surviving this with the way we're living
We're running back and forth over the paths we've made

And before we go our separate ways we'll plan where to meet
What if this isn't it
And there's nothing we can do
What if this isn't it
There's nothing we can do
There's nothing we can do
There's nothing we can do


9. THIS IS YOUR LIFESAVER

Let's hope we call to them
Our dreams and our fears
We'll reach out our arms
To try to find something to love
There's always something to love
You'll reach out your arms
And find something you love
I swear, I swear you'll find it

I swear we all have it in us
And right now it's all we have
This is your lifesaver
This is your lifesaver
This is, this is your lifesaver
This is, this is your calling

When the water is pulling you in
Look to the clear skies above
When the water is pulling you in
Take a deep breath
Take a deep breath before you submerge

I swear we all have it in us
And right now it's all we have
This is your lifesaver
This is your lifesaver
I swear, I swear we all have it in us
I swear, I swear we all have it in us

Let's hope we call to them
Our dreams and our fears
We'll reach out our arms
And find something to love

We open our eyes to stare at the sun
Our ambitions should keep us turned away
Our hearts will show the way

I swear we all have it in us
And right now it's all we have
This is your lifesaver
This is your lifesaver
Stay awake
But don't stop dreaming
Promise me you won't stop dreaming
Stay awake
Believe me when I say,
Believe me when I say it's worth it
Stay awake


10. I HAVE FOUGHT A MEASURELESS BATTLE

She closes her eyes yet tries to look around
There's nothing to hear
There's nothing to see
She's all alone and no matter what this cannot be changed
This cannot be changed

The shadows she chases may lead her in different directions
The shadows she chases may lead her in different directions
But she's unable to move
The place she once tried to dream of is still there
But she's unable to move
The place she once tried to dream of is still there
But she no longer tries
But she no longer -
But she no longer tries

Everything she once had is now only everything she once Forgot
Everything she once had is now only everything she once Forgot
In her mind this reality fails to reveal itself

Day by day she repeats to herself
Just how much she has done
And eventually
Her perception becomes a hope
That brushes the empty canvas she is waiting in
But this picture, but this picture is not sincere
Picture is not sincere

Everything she once had is now only everything she once Forgot
Everything she once had is now only everything she once Forgot
In the shades of grey I feel the fragile hope
That this scene was built of

Words can bring her back but it's hard when she's not Listening
Silence can bring her back but only if she knows it's here
Time can bring her back
Time can bring her back
But it goes so slowly without her


11. THE MESSENGER

I'll find a way
I'll search in every direction
I refuse to believe that this path is mine
Worry free i go on
Step back, i know your game
Humor me, release the facts
Tell me why we're here,
Cause i don't want to know what you live for
The traffic is blocking the exits
Get me out of here

And rewash my brain through my ears
There is another highway that no one knows of
The lanes exist
We are an empire lied to about failure
Knowing only one way to reach the future
These directions are headed to my dead end
Who are they to plan our every move?
And i'll save myself while i still can, i think i still can
Not every step leads to another
I'm standing but i'm not breathing
My lungs are failing me
The messenger lies through his teeth
Brakes cut into rubber as i see flames sailing the roadside
Heroes emerge from men as they rush to the scene
I fled the scene
Two crashes and you can bet i am not one of them
