1. THE CITY SLEEPS IN FLAMES

The empire will fall like they planned on
Can we even last through the night?
We watch as the sky scrapers crumble
Under the burning blue sky,
That blinds our eyes!

This is our last chance,
To make things right
A world lost forever
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Well try to find a place to sleep,
Its going on days, that we've been awake
A sadness that I've never seen
I said your name, and you, looked the other way

Because these are my last words
And this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
If there was something left
I have nothing left to prove
And i will live with my regrets
I'd give you everything
If there was something left!

The disconnecting count of days
Of fading away, the lives that we made
Tear drops will spill, from your blue eyes
Intentions were wrong, i apologize
The empire is falling
Like they planned on and we lost it all
The city sleeps in flames

Lost..
Time..
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?
Everything's gonna be fine. RIGHT?
I can't find a way to live in this life!

The empire will fall like they planned on
Can we even last through the night
We watch as the sky scrapers crumble
Under the burning blue sky,
That blinds our eyes!

Because these are my last words
And this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
If there was something left
I have nothing left to prove
And I will live with my regrets
I'd give you everything
If there was something left

Because these are my last words
And this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
But I've got nothing left


2. THE ONLY MEDICINE

I wash it down, just to block out all the sound.
I never thought I'd be alone. Well look at me now.

Sleepless nights, painful goodbyes.
Who the hell was I kidding?
The room starts to spin,
All alone and bleeding once again.
Can you help me make this.. Make this fucking end?

[Chorus:]
Oh my god there must be something,
Something to take the pain away.
And so there's nothing you can give me.
It's probably better off that way.

Just forget, all I ever wanted was to forget.
Bloodshot eyes and a starless sky.
Who the hell are we kidding?

You look so content, I guess the bright side hasn't found me yet.
Pull me out so I can catch my breath.

[Chorus]

I live my life in the shadows of the things I try to hide.

[Chorus]


3. THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT

Time is becoming
More precious than gold
All those times wasted alone
Starving children the poison waters
And the suffocating skies
We won't get another chance this time
We won't get a second chance this time

You'll be lucky if you make it out alive
Haven't we lost our minds?
What the hell were we all thinking?
Now they're choosing sides
This is the world
This is the world

A virus known as rage
Is brutally destroying
And spreading all over the place
A bleeding culture
A dying nation
When the money controls the tide
We won't get another chance this time
We won't get a second chance this time

You'll be lucky if you make it out alive
Haven't we lost our minds?
What the hell were we all thinking?
Now they're choosing sides
Well this is the world as we know it
Have we lost our minds?

The tension is rising and rising
And the world is at stake
Take back what belongs to you, by God
Before it's to late
Take It Back!
Take It Back!
Take It Back!

So close your eyes
And paint the picture
The sunset starring back
Won't last forever, forever
Just close your eyes
And paint the picture
'Cause the world we could've had
Would have been better, much better
Just close your eyes
And paint the picture
'Cause the sunset starring back
Won't last forever, forever


4. WHAT'S SAID AND DONE

We watch these days go by
The seasons changed and faded away,
And the the things i've learned to love grow old and die
(no reason why, no reason why, no reason why, no reason why)
Cause life's too short to spend alone in misery
Everybody seems to look the same
I feel so alone and now my head is bowed in shame again,
So I look to the heart of the devil for answers

This path is like a loaded gun
But what's said is done
You don't have to say a word

I'm so afraid to ask
I turn my back forget the past
Find me something true that is inside
I'm so afraid to ask
This solace never seems to last
I turn away as the sunshine fades to black

I spend my nights and days
Wrapped away their all the same
I don't know how much more i can take
(what's left to say, what's left to say, what's left to say, what's left to say)
Cause life's too short to spend alone in misery

This path is like a loaded gun
But what's said is done
You don't have to say a word

This path is like a loaded gun
But what's said is done
You don't have to say a word

This path is like a loaded gun
But what's said is done
You don't have to say a word
To say a word, to say a word

I'm so afraid to ask
I turn my back forget the past
Find me something true that is inside

I'm so afraid to ask
This solace never seems to last
I turn away as the sunshine fades to black

I'm so afraid to ask
I turn my back forget the past
Find me something true that is inside

This path is like a loaded gun
But what's said is done
You don't have to say a word...


5. JUST A TASTE

Forgive and forget
It's just a memory
It wont get me very far this time
Is what I've done to you unforgivable?
Silence fills the room and I get the message.
Emptiness is all that's left this time.
Is what I meant to you that forgettable?

Better than Better than me of coarse.
You're always right.
You're always on the ball.
Better than Better than everything
I've done for you cause now you can finally sleep.
Can you smile too?

I took it as a threat
You meant it as the doctrine
Of everything that was and would become.
I don't have to ask, you don't miss me at all.
You made it so obvious
When you slowly walked away
And then I prayed in vain.
I would've traded everything
Even for just a taste.
I'll live with the loneliness.
But i'll never forget
I was never your best bet.

Better than Better than me of coarse.
You're always right.
You're always on the ball
Better than Better than everything
I've done for you
Cause now you can finally sleep.
Can you smile too?
Now you can sleep, can you smile too?
Can you smile now that I'm gone?


6. MY DARKEST HOUR

Let me up
Let me out
I am suffocating
I can't live without this all behind me
Is this almost over now
The luck is like my darkest hour
Where you will find me
Paralyzed and dying
From the truth

You left me at the alter
My heart in my hand
I am tired and broken
Haunted by memories of
The life you've stolen
I am tired and broken
You left me at the alter
My heart in my hand
In my hand

Let me up
Let me out
My lips are trembling
And I cannot make a sound
My love betrays me
Is this almost over now?
The walls caved in
The roof fell down
And i am finally
Tired of the lying
And the cloud
That follows you

You left me at the alter
My heart in my hand
I am tired and broken
Haunted by memories of
The life you've stolen
I am tired and broken
You left me at the alter
My heart in my hand
In my hand

And now my only hope is to take
Back what you've stolen
(My heart will go on)
And now my only hope is to take
Back what you've stolen
(My heart will go on without you)

You left me at the alter
My heart in my hand
I am tired and broken
Haunted by memories of
The life you've stolen
(You left me in the end)
Haunted by memories of
The life you've stolen
(You left me in the end)
You've stolen
(You left me in the end)
You've stolen
(You left me in the end)
You've stolen
(I wont forget)


7. DROWNING

Stand up!
You know you have the right too!
Speak up!
For the things you that you believe!
And we lift off!
And they will stab you in the back over again
Take your integrity

How long will you let this go on
They're drowning you in fear

Speak up!
Your voice just isn't breaking through
It's time now!
It's gone on way too long
As we lift off!
They will tear you into little pieces
I think there is something wrong

How long will you let this go on?
They're drowning you in fear

You're letting your hopes go straight to hell
And I know the end is near

The time will come
The time will come
The time will come
You will be sorry for what you've done
The time will come

How long will you let this go on?
They're drowning you in fear

You're letting your hopes go straight to hell
And i know the end is near

You say you're sorry
For what its worth


8. THE BRIGHT SIDE OF SUFFERING

I swear that if I could
I'd take it all
Take it all away
All the sorrow and the pain

I'm not responsible
You always say
But you need your space
And this always ends the same

Hey, is your heart still beating?
I can't stop the bleeding
I've lost you completely

Hey, gather all the heartache
I'll hold it in my hand
Just to lose it all again

If there's a bright side
To this suffering
Can you help me see?
It's getting harder to believe

You always said this
Would not last long
But it's gone on and on and on
And I just can't make it stop

Hey, is your heart still beating?
I can't stop the bleeding
I've lost you completely

Hey, gather all the heartache
I'll hold it in my hand
Just to lose it all again

They're right this time
I wont pretend to smile
Because inside
I'm black and
I am hollow

This time you've
Took this way too far (x5)

I'm sick
And tired
Inside
I'm black and
I am hollow

I'm trying to find
What's missing form my life
And the tables have turned
This life is only temporary (x2)


9. EMPTY GLASSES

Faded pictures of the life that I once loved
With the flash, the moments gone
I gave up all I had for
Something that never brought me any comfort now
I've been lost too long

[Chorus:]
Deny it, but I am alone here
I've always hate this place
I never thought it end this way
Deny it, but I am alone
Another nameless face
Deny it, but I am alone here
I've always hate this place
I never thought it end this way
Deny it, but I am alone
Please don't forget my name
Deny it, but I am alone

Empty pages on the end
I can't move on
The words I never said were wrong
I never needed to feel connected
And now I'm only loved by empty glasses
Its gone on too long
I need to find a way to just move on

[Chorus:]
Deny it, but I am alone here
I've always hate this place
I never thought it end this way
Deny it, but I am alone
Another nameless face
Deny it, but I am alone here
I've always hate this place
I never thought it end this way
Deny it, but I am alone
Please don't forget my name
Deny it, but I am alone

I'm tired of you wishing me the best
It's a long ride home, a long ride home

[Chorus:]
Deny it, but I am alone here
I've always hate this place
I never thought it end this way
Deny it, but I am alone
Another nameless face
Deny it, but I am alone here
I've always hate this place
I never thought it end this way
Deny it, but I am alone
Please don't forget my name
Deny it, but I am alone


10. FAITH IN THE KNIFE

It's getting colder
Each and everyday
The nights get longer
I slowly fade

Find me some beauty
In this deceptive place
Before you know it
I'll be gone without a trace

Give me a reason to
Wake up and face the lie
I've been searching for
A way out of this life
How will i make it through
This long and bitter night?

(With no hope that i'll find a sign)
(With no hope that i'll find a sign)
With no hope that i'll find a sign

When things like breathing
Feel like a waste
It seems like leaving's
The only way

The past intentions
They never got me by
I can't escape this
It has overcome my mind (x2)

It has overcome my mind (x3)
Overcome my mind

Give me a reason to
Wake up and face the lie
I've been searching for
A way out of this life
How will i make it through
This long and bitter night?
(With no hope that I'll find a sign)
(No hope that I'll find a sign)
(No hope that I'll find a sign) (x2)

Nothing this good
Could last forever
(Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
I put all my faith in this knife
(Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
The lust feels like the tears fall from your eyes

I hope for the best
There's nothing left

Lets celebrate a romance in it all
(Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
I put all my faith in this knife
(Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight)
The lust feels like the tears fall from your eyes


11. A BREATH OF SUNSHINE

Lost myself in an endless goodnight
Kept the time by the patterns of the streetlight
Couldn't get it right
I could never get it right
Sadly, this is a wasted conversation
Lost on you, lost on you
This is a test of my patience
Your blue eyes are so cruel
I can't escape all the things we said
I'm taking years off my life with the weight of regret
Now there's nothing left
There's nothing left to lose

[Chorus:]
Shouldn't I feel all right?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night

The night fades with a breath of sunshine
I'll do my best to adjust to the morning light
I cant keep my place
Feels like I've been awake for days
Sadly, you turn away and now I'm faced
With the harsh truth, the harsh truth
My cold heart is a place where true love cannot lose

[Chorus:]
Shouldn't I feel all right?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night

There's static on the airwaves
I'll try to find the light through all this haze
I can't find the words that I'm trying to say
So try to forget me as I walk away

[Chorus:]
Shouldn't I feel all right?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night
