1. PLAYING DEAD

First of all, I'm never giving up
I'm gaining perspective and counting on my luck
Don't miss the point or let it pass you by
You'll run around in circles asking yourself why

Stand at attention, it's going down right here
(Wake up, wake up, can you hear me?)
Where's all your passion? Has it disappeared?
(Get up, get up, or I'm leaving)

I won't waste anymore of this life
Losing direction, missing connections
One last time, I'm screaming out loud
What's inside my head
I'm sick of you playing dead

Worst of all, I'm sick of growing up
I've lost all perspective, I'm running out of luck
Now here, here I go again
Scratching at the surface
Will this ever end? Will you ever

Pay attention, I'm standing right the fuck here
(Wake up, wake up, can you hear me?)
Where's all your passion? Has it disappeared?
(Get up, get up, or I'm leaving)

I won't waste anymore of this life
Losing direction, missing connections
One last time, I'm screaming out loud
What's inside my head
I'm sick of you playing dead

It's time for me to take some chances
All I need is this book of matches
To burn it all to a billion ashes
I'm seeing red
Stop playing dead
Stop playing dead
All I need is this book of matches
To burn it all to a billion ashes

Don't waste anymore of your life
Losing direction, missing connections
For one last time, I'm screaming out loud
What's inside my head

I won't waste anymore of this life
Losing direction, missing connections
One last time, I'm screaming out loud
What's inside my head
I'm sick of you playing dead


2. CITY OF LIGHTS

Used up all of our last chances
Burned out on the City of Light
Don't wanna be the last one standing
My head's groggy when my feet take flights

Forget who we are, go back to the start
High expectations won't go far
If there's nothing but words
You won't hold me back this time

Can't stop us now
We're burning this city to the ground
We won't back down
This time, no waiting
Leave it all behind, clear our minds
Escape this town forever
Can't stop us now
We're burning this city to the ground

Not gonna miss those misconceptions
We don't need to lead a fancy life
Never bend or break under pressure
Tell them we ain't coming home tonight

orget who we are, go back to the start
High expectations won't go far
If there's nothing but words
You won't hold me back this time

Can't stop us now
We're burning this city to the ground
We won't back down
This time, no waiting
Leave it all behind, clear our minds
Escape this town forever
Can't stop us now
We're burning this city to the ground

Mark my words, they're all that's left
We will stand together
Time to bury these regrets
And start over
(x2)

Can't stop us now
We're burning this city to the ground
We won't back down
This time, no waiting
Leave it all behind, clear our minds
Escape this town forever
Can't stop us now
We're burning this city to the ground


3. THE OTHER LINE

Now tell me the truth
Don't make me wait too long
You have to prove that I shouldn't move on

I'm sitting here watching the tick of the clock
I hear my own heartbeat
I want it to stop
Doing next to nothing
Except breaking apart
And this tension just cuts to the bone

Get out or give me good reason
Shut up, I'll do it alone
And I wont waste another year sitting here
Waiting for something more (More)

So I'm just stuck here in the meantime
Waiting on the other line

Now tell me the truth
Don't make me wait too long
You have to prove that I shouldn't move on
Giving in is the price I pay
These words alone
Hurt enough to walk away
You think I hang on everything you say
And worst of all you're predictable

I really must be moving onward to something
I'm standing right here and I came from nothing
The harder you fall
The more pain you can take

You love when the pressure just pulls me apart
You're fueling the fire
It just won't stop
It kept growing and burning
And taking my world down in flames
While I'm waiting on the other line

Now tell me the truth
Don't make me wait too long
You have to prove that I shouldn't move on
Giving in is the price I pay
These words alone
Hurt enough to walk away
You think I hang on everything you say
And worst of all you're predictable

You're breaking the ground that you walk on
No one around you is safe
Your thoughts are as loud as a shotgun
They keep blowing me away

So I'm just stuck here in the meantime
Waiting on the other line

Now tell me the truth
Don't make me wait too long
You have to prove that I shouldn't move on
Giving in is the price I pay
These words alone
Hurt enough to walk away
You think I hang on every word you say
And worst of all you're predictable (Oh oh oh oh)

So I'm just stuck here in the meantime
Waiting on the other line


4. SET IT STRAIGHT

Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Let's set this straight

Heard it all before
No excuses anymore
You're a broken record in my head
I take it back, every word I ever said
It's the truth I got you figured out

Yes I read you like a book
With all the pages ripped out
All the chances that I took
Never got a second look
So now I'm turning it over

Take me back to where we started
I'm not the one who ripped apart your heart
You're just a lost cause
That's what I'm sure about
Your personality is something that
I can learn to live without

And now I lie alone
Without a strand of hope to my name, no
I'm doubting it all

So let's set it straight

Before I write another line
Before the words come to mind
I'll be here writing you off
The only thing I'm sure of
I'm finally turning around my mind
I'm finally moving on this time

Take me back to where we started
I'm not the one who ripped apart your heart
You're just a lost cause
That's what I'm sure about
Your personality is something that
I can learn to live without

I've been through it all
To take the fall
And I swear this time
I learn from my past
And choose to take the higher road from now on

And know though, to wear the sun down slowly
Before the stakes can raise
(I'm doing just fine turning myself around,
Lifting it up on the other side of town)

Woah-ah-oh
Let's set this straight

I'm not the one who ripped your heart out

Take me back to where we started
I'm not the one who ripped apart your heart
You're just a lost cause
That's what I'm sure about
Your personality is something that
I can learn to live without


5. PULL YOU UNDER

You fucked up!
Consequences must hurt
My blind confidence versus your pure ignorance
If you think it's a game
Then like a ghost to a cross
You'll be fading away
They'll never kick us down

Can you feel the anger growing deep inside?
(It's breaking through my skin,
Now let it all begin)
They can try, but...

They'll never kick us down
We have a right to be here
Even when they try,
They'll never keep us out
We have a right to be here
Never let them pull you under

Even if all you know is doubt
Prove them wrong in their face with all you have
There are people who get in your way
I’ll let my rage escape, I can’t stop it now
They better run before I chase them down
Set it free
You better stop before I shut your mouth
Go on and test me now

Can you feel the anger growing deep inside?
(I guess they'll never know if they don't even try)

They'll never kick us down
We have a right to be here
Even when they try, they'll never keep us out
We have a right to be here
Never let them tell you that you're all washed up
To just give up
The best revenge is to push your luck
So let's go
We have a right to be here
Never let them pull you under

Don't let them pull you under
Don't let them pull you under
If no one took the chance
We'd all be living broken
If nothing ever changed
We'd all be long forgotten
Long forgotten

They'll never kick us down
We have a right to be here
Even when they try, they'll never keep us out
We have a right to be here
Never let them tell you that you're all washed up
To just give up
The best revenge is to push our luck
So let's go
We have a right to be here
Never let them pull you under

Don't let them pull you under


6. WHAT GOES AROUND

I'm feeling helpless, on days just like this
I'm at the end of my rope but I can't let you in
But then it hits me and everything changed
I can't let the darkness take over me

We all have pain we can't erase
It's how we deal with it
Well it doesn't mean we can't move on
And start to live again

What goes around, comes around
And what goes up must come down
I know that every beginning has to come to an end
Let's make the most of the time we spent
What goes around, comes around
Let's make it count

I know I can't change the past
But I can write my future
I’ve seen the worst out of the ones I looked up to

We all have pain we can't erase
It's how we deal with it
Well it doesn't mean we can't move on
And start to live again

What goes around, comes around
And what goes up must come down
I know that every beginning has to come to an end
Let's make the most of the time we spent
What goes around, comes around
Let's make it count

You can't just lay in your bed
And wait for things to change
You gotta get it together before it's too late
Before it's too late

What goes around, comes around
And what goes up must come down
I know that every beginning has to come to an end
Let's make the most of the time we spent
What goes around, comes around
Let's make it count


7. WORST CASE SCENARIO

Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah

I know that I've been free falling for a while
No back up plan
I can do this on my own

Though I try but I fail gracefully
The lower I go but the better I see
I swallowed my pride and it tasted so sweet

Worst case scenario
Turn up your stereo
What you hear is what you get from me
Worst case scenario
You've gotta let it go
If what you hear is, what you get is real
Sing it back to me

Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah

Please keep your pocket change
Wherever I lay my head's home
And I will never sell out for diamonds and gold
Please keep your sympathy
I drive down this road alone
And I won't spin out if I lost control

Thou I try but I fail gracefully
The lower I go but the better I see
I swallowed my pride and it tasted so sweet

Worst case scenario
Turn up your stereo
What you hear is what you get from me
Worst case scenario
You've gotta let it go
If what you hear is, what you get is real
Sing it back to me

Hear the soundwaves going through your ears
Hopeful misery's never seemed so clear

Though I try but I fail gracefully
The lower I go but the better I sing
I swallowed my pride and it tasted so sweet

Worst case scenario
Turn up your stereo
What you hear is what you get from me
Worst case scenario
You've gotta let it go
If what you hear, if what you get is real
That's what you hear why don't you get it's real?
So sing it back to me

Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah


8. TWIST THE KNIFE

Like fading pictures, I'm starting to lose hold
Of anything to show right now
I'm waiting out the cold
If I scream my lungs out, would you be listening
You'll be sorry when you see the hell I bring

You said it all
Yeah you wrote it in a letter
It's impossible
For things to know get better

What kills me the most
When the knife gets twisted
Went for the throat
That's how it began
I'm about to burn these bridges
Cross you out and cut you off again

Like shattered dreams
This routine's getting old
I'm losing grip of everyone
I just do what I'm told
When the curtain closes
All I am is me
That's my only way out of this tragedy

You said it all
Yeah you wrote it in a letter
It's impossible
For things to know get better

What kills me the most
When the knife gets twisted
Went for the throat
That's how it began
I'm about to burn these bridges
Cross you out and cut you off again

You've showed me no reason
For ever thinking twice
Revenge seems like the only really good advice

Don't test my patience
Who's knows when I might implode
No more variation of the truth
I'm ready to take on
This dark unapologetic world

What kills me the most when the knife gets twisted
What kills me the most when the knife gets twisted

Like fading pictures, I'm starting to lose hold
Of anything to show right now
I'm waiting out the cold
If I scream my lungs out, would you be listening
You'll be sorry when you see the hell I bring

What kills me the most
When the knife gets twisted
Went for the throat
That's how it began
I'm about to burn these bridges
Cross you out and cut you off again

You've showed me no reason
For ever thinking twice
Revenge seems like the only really good advice


9. GET LOST, FIND YOURSELF

Somewhere in between the end and the beginning
I found a way to finally
Pick up the pieces of the mess I used to be
And sail away to nowhere

Cause all this time, I've walked the line
But deep inside I was waiting for a sign

I lost my way but I found myself
Hear the sound of open lands
I guess I belong somewhere else
Than where the ground cracks where I stand

I spent too many nights looking back on my life
And faking smiles to everyone
I used to be the one wandering with lowered eyes
And trying hard to clear this mind

Cause all this time, I've walked the line
But deep inside I was waiting for a sign

I lost my way but I found myself
Hear the sound of open lands
I guess I belong somewhere else
Than where the ground cracks where I stand

Got lost and found
Myself doing much better
Went far from this town
And I'm running ever further
(x2)


10. EVERY MOMENT

Am I afraid
Of all the things that I can't change?
No one's to blame
When all my weaknesses remain
We're all the same

Don't let me sink
Before I get to find the words and I'm forgotten
Don't let me blink
I wanna savour every moment

Tell me if you ever wake up thinking
If you ever wondered how it feels
Knowing it could end and there will come a time
When it's too late to say goodbye
Say goodbye

Can't lie awake
Can't live in fear of what's ahead
So now I'll take
Every chance until the end
(Until the End)

Don't let me sink
Before I get to find the words and I'm forgotten
Don't let me blink
I wanna savour every moment

Tell me if you ever wake up thinking
If you ever wondered how it feels
Knowing it could end and there will come a time
When it's too late to say goodbye

So let's just do it
Let's make it happen
This might be your last chance
So do it before it's too late

Push yourself to the limit
Drop your doubts
Take control of your life

Don't let me sink
Before I get to find the words and I'm forgotten
Don't let me blink
I wanna savour every moment

Tell me if you ever wake up thinking
If you ever wondered how it feels
Knowing it could end and there will come a time
When it's too late to say goodbye
Say goodbye
