1. BLUE 42

Burning bridges
Burning bridges
Shut myself off from the world
Burning bridges
Burning bridges
Shut myself off from life

As the ashes fall
As the ashes fall
Through the fire
Through the flame

As the ashes fall
As the ashes fall
Through the fire
Through the flame

Life purified again

I won't look back
To the chains that bound me
I won't look back
To the chains that bound me

I will lay to rest my ghosts
And cover my footsteps
I will stand up straight and walk away
Leaving them far behind

Won't look back
Chains that bound me


2. AMERICAN LOVE

Exchanging beauty
For the ashes
Given my heart
To nothing real

Exchanging beauty
For the ashes
Given my heart
To nothing real

I've given my heart away
To so many things
So many times I've failed
Help me stop this endless cycle
Remind me of how it can be

Take me back
I surrender all
Without you
My heart is broken

[Chorus]
I never should have let you go
I never should have let you slip
Through my arms

[Chorus] (x4)

As the sun sets tonight, I'll hold you with all that I am (x3)

I never should have let you go, promise me
You'll stay with me forever, forever
I never should have let you go, promise me
You'll stay with me forever, forever
I never should have let you go, promise me
You'll stay with me forever, forever

Forgive me for running so quickly to the outside (x2)


3. FALLEN

Don't cry tonight, my love
You will not bleed alone
I will stand with you
I will stand with you
Don't cry tonight
I will stand with you
Been alone
Far too long
Time to return
You've been alone
For far too long
So long, return
Don't cry tonight
I will stand with you
Don't cry tonight
I will stand with you
You've been alone for far too long
Time to return
You've been alone for far too long
So long, return
There wounds they will not last forever
You've been broken for so long
So long, return
Dead end becomes your second chance
You've been broken for so long
So long, return


4. WALK ON

Walk on past me
Never say my name again
I see though you
Your lies will no longer stand
Walk on past me
Never say my name again
I see though you
Your lies will no longer stand
Beauty fades
What's inside shines though
Offered all and gave me nothing
Suffocation setting in
I can't breath when you're around
Believed lies
I see though you
Some how you see me all too well
And there is no hiding behind lies
If I could only run fast enough
Now I'm running out of time
Walk on past me
Never say my name again
I see through you
Some how you see me but you see me all too well
I see through you
Walk on past me
Never say my name again
Walk on past me
Never say my name again
I see through you
Some how you see me all too well
And there is no hiding behind lies
If I could only run fast enough
Now I'm running out of time


5. WHEN EVERYTHING FALLS

I can see it comin' on the horizon
Sky turning black, it's raining down
Can't move my feet, cannot be shaken
Not movin', I'm standing strong
I'm standing firm
I can't be moved
I'm standing so firm
I can't be moved
I will stand
I will stand
When everything falls away
I will fight this war forever
Or until I die
I will stand
I will stand
When everything falls away
I will fight this war forever
Or until I die
All these things coming against me
I have the choice to fall or fight
I cannot be moved
You give me the strength
Help me fight, help me fight
I'm standing so firm
I can't be moved
I'm standing so firm
I can't be moved
I will stand
I will stand
When everything falls away
I will fight this war forever
Or until I die
I will stand
I will stand
When everything falls away
I will fight this war forever
Or until I die
And I'm standing so firm
On this ground you've sat before me
I'll fight for this with my last breath
I'll fight for this till I die
I can't be moved


6. PRESSURE THE HINGES

And now I'm running out of reasons.
And I spoke too soon.
The clock weighs on the counter top.
Everything is sinking through the floor.
You hold the door and I'll pressure the hinges.
Would you trust these locks?
And sleep to hide your secrets?
Dodging bullets is easier when you don't believe in fate.
And I swear, I swear we won't make it obvious when we turn around again.
What are you afraid of?
Are you scared you're not alone?
You keep running out.
Turn around again.
You aspire to be helpless, hopeless.
Burning all your dreams I'm running low on secrets that will quench your thirsty ears.
And I'm counting the seconds between distraction and the moment.
Fifteen seconds till melt down.
Fifteen seconds till the roof will hit the floor.
I see the light in the stairway and the floor is lettered with maps and hotel keys.
So we turn around again.
Wear the robe of pig skin and he'll wear the crown.
He'll run and he'll run and he'll run till you stop him.
I see your eyes changing and your passions gone again.
You're still running out.
We desire to be comfort in this broken world you're in.
Fifteen seconds till...
Fifteen seconds till...


7. STITCHES

Five words, five words is all it would take.
Five words to change your heart and mind.
In the heat of the sun I know you're the only one.
You still cant' hold yourself together.
Alone… Alone… All alone you have this conversation to satisfy your most intimate inner thoughts.
Then you bite your lip when it matters most.
A shade of red in sight.
Can you taste the blood?
Taste it on your lips.
Rip the seam.
Then I'll show you how the strings become the stitches in your mouth.
In your silence we are louder.
When the strings become the stitches in your mouth.
Your growing imagination preparing you for what your heart requires to say.
Then you bit your lip when it matters most.
A shade of red in sight.
Can you taste the blood? Taste it on your lips.
Rip the seam.
Then I'll show you how the strings become the stitches in your mouth.
In your silence we are louder.
When the strings become the stitches in your mouth.
Five words, repeating over in your head.
That's all you ever have to do.
Five words, repeating over in your head.
That's all you ever have to do.
Five words.
Is it really that hard to say you're worth more that this?
1) You're
2) worth
3) more
4) than
5) this.
Rip the seam.
Then I'll show you how the strings become the stitches in your mouth.
In you silence we are louder.
When the strings become the stitches in your mouth.


8. CHORUS OF ANGELS

Chorus of angels, destroy my silence that haunts me.
It claims me, while darkness walks beside me.
I saw the angels sing along to wake up the beautiful sleeping world.
Their voices will rise to test the strength of man.
Wake up the beautiful sleeping world.
We will see the fire.
The skies will open up.
The clouds will burn red and our sins will forget us.
And time will not shake us.
Our hearts are made of gold.
These walls won't over-take us.
These walls over-take us.
Chorus of angels, lead me in a prayer that will shake the foundations of the earth.
Wake up now.


9. 68

I am the one you will call the destroyer
The messenger of my disgrace (I am my own disease)
You sit on your throne of compassion
The charges will fall as we all go marching so helplessly on
We came this far to tear the curtain
Shed light so I can see your eyes
Shed your light on me
What Is this unhealthily obsession,
To destroy everything you create? (I am my own disease)
You, the God of the broken and wretched
The charges will fall
I am my own disease
I carried the weight of this burden
I've watch as they all fell away.
It's not just a dream, it's a nightmare

We came this far to tear the curtain
Shed light so I can see your eyes
Shed your light on me

We wall fall to ruin if we don't bury disguises
That we've made
We will see the finish if we would carry ourselves
To the end of the race
The charges will fall
I am my own disease


10. MAD MAN

You said it yourself.
To convalesce from empty sorrow, someone had to squeal.
To dive to the bottom.

You said I know. I know it's not your fault.
Like wire around your bones you would never numb.
I take it I'm a mad man, but I would never squeal.
I never said it was no good.

The innocent will rest in the peace they've been given.
Paintings will sleep on the floor.
Build walls of lonely dreams as beauty fades.
I can't take this anymore.
Lock yourself up like a bird in a cage.
You sing but no one ever listens.

How much were you paid to sell out the mad man?
Like a scientist or a master of design.
I knew exactly what I was doing.
And I heard of your disease,
And shots of penicillin barely kept you alive.
The innocent will rest in the peace they've been given.
Paintings will sleep on the floor.
Build walls of lonely dreams as beauty fades.
I can't take this anymore.

I am the clone. I dwell in silence.
The innocent will rest in the peace they've been given.
Paintings will sleep on the floor.
Build walls of lonely dreams as beauty fades.
I can't take this anymore.


11. AUTUMN

Red leaves blow in the wind,
Leaving home and everything it's known behind.
Barren branches wave goodbye as the red leaves slowly die.
Every flower stares and watches
As the wind it takes me away before the sun shone upon me.
Now the wind it takes me away.


12. DOG LIKE VULTURES

Who will protect you from these dog like vultures?
And I know they're small but their bite is sharp.

We've been sent with eyes to see them
And ears to hear their steps.
Our hearts that are softer than the sheep.

We've been known to calm the storm and silence
The ocean
With the strength to spare you from their teeth.

Our eyes are upon you
And we will protect you
And be assured that
No fang will breech
Your fleece

Because we are called to lead and sent to gather.
So, bare your teeth
And sharpen your claws.

We've been sent with eyes to see them
And ears to hear their steps.
Our hearts that are softer than the sheep

We've been known to calm the storm and silence the ocean.
With strength to spare you from their teeth.

From their teeth.
And their blood will spill like water in a
Fountain for thieves and liars.
So bare your teeth and sharpen your claws.
Because we hold the keys

And we've been sent with
Eyes to see them
And ears to hear their steps
And hearts that are softer than the sheep.

We've been known to calm the storm and silence the ocean.
With strength to spare you from their teeth.
From their teeth.


13. TRAVESTY

I am spent and with death you paid my ransom
For the witness of your word
To bring them is the jackal's sin
Oh, the eyes of death are upon me
And the watchman takes his toll
If the river runs dry it will never take us home
With idle minds unconscious as the hunter stalks his prey
His eyes, his eyes are locked on me

You cover the darkest part of me
With a look that's sure to set the captives free

Oh, make way for I am not the redeemer
Nor do the mountains fall in my name
But with slightest cry, my hunter
You will fail to reach your prey
Still with idle minds unconscious
As the hunter stalks his prey
His eyes, his eyes are locked on me

You cover the darkest part of me
With a look that's sure to set the captives free
With love that the blindest eyes will see
You cover the darkest part of me

As I am met with travesty
And I am broken and I am empty
And through it all I can see your face
With words unspoken I hear your voice and
I see the hand, the hand that writes it all
You've called the wind to show its worth
You've called the sun to brag about its warmth
Because you are the writer
Because you are the soul of the world

You cover the darkest part of me
With a look that's sure to set the captives free
With love that the blindest eyes will see
You cover the darkest part of me

Because you are the writer
