1. BLACK SMOKE

As a matter of fact I recall that you did
Hide in the shadows your faintheartedness
Now the problems you're facing now are like a bad dream
You know the truth but couldn't face it
Now there's problems yours to figure out

Look who's talking now.
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept when you keep them to yourself
Look who's talking now (Look who's talking now)
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept

Please believe me, it's not easy
Saying what I have to say
You'll remember what I told you
Things will always (Things will always)
Things will always be the same

Ha ha ha
Yeah right.

Look who's talking now.
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept when you keep them to yourself
Look who's talking now (Look who's talking now)
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept

I know I know something that you don't
Shady snake you speak in riddles and obsess over control
At this rate it's impossible to tell
Pin point the culprit, pierce the veil
Unearth the secrets but keep the details to yourself

Never love someone beneath your evolution
Promises are only as good as the people who make them
Trust of the innocent can be a liars most useful tool

Look who's talking now.
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept when you keep them to yourself
Look who's talking now (Look who's talking now)
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept

To hell with your perspective
You know not of who I am
So keep your judgement
It's hard to see what you don't know
What good is your vision
What good is your vision
Surrounded by black smoke?

Let's not forget about our hero
Or take for granted of how hard he tries
To cheer you up despite these hard times
Hoping good advice will change your mind.

Keep telling your white lies
Keep telling your white lies
Soon enough it will catch up and leave you colorblind
Go ahead and race right down the ally
Keep telling your white lies
Tell 'em that your being honest
Play pretend like you the good guy

Look who's talking now.
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept when you keep them to yourself
Look who's talking now (Look who's talking now)
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept

To hell with your perspective
You know not of who I am
So keep your judgement
It's hard to see what you don't know
What good is your vision
What good is your vision
Surrounded by black smoke?


2. TRY HARD

Your friends are like a mirror in your face
Showing you, reminding you
Of what a terrible mess that you've made
The person you became
Could never ever hang with who you claim to be
Try hard your constant effort lacks integrity

I'd rather give up my life in the fight then take blame for the fall
I'm doing what I want now I'm who and what I want now
My enemies are living breathing proof that I will stand up for things I believe in
A walking testament of all the things I won't left be I refuse to be
Another victim another statistic of your double crossing good for nothing ways

Your friends are like a mirror in your face
Showing you, reminding you
Of what a terrible mess that you've made
The person you became
Could never ever hang with who you claim to be
Try hard your constant effort lacks integrity

Look around now you're running in circles and soon I know you'll
Cascade down in and over the waves in which your reason drowns
Try hard, try hard, your lack of substance is killing me
You know you saw this one coming.

Your friends are like a mirror in your face
Showing you, reminding you
Of what a terrible mess that you've made
The person you became
Could never ever hang with who you claim to be
Try hard your constant effort lacks integrity

How quickly things can change stumbling forward and farther away from me.
Is it the pain that makes you not want to stay?
Tell me was it worth who you became?
Was it worth the sleepless nights? Do you finally feel ok?

Enter stranger but take heed of what could lie ahead
You may find what you seek may not be everything they said
An apology is the easiest way, easiest way to have the last word...

Your friends are like a mirror in your face
Showing you, reminding you
Of what a terrible mess that you've made
The person you became
Could never ever hang with who you claim to be
Try hard your constant effort lacks integrity

How quickly things can change stumbling forward and farther away from me.
Is it the pain that makes you not want to stay?
Tell me was it worth who you became?
Was it worth the sleepless nights? Do you finally feel ok?

Your friends are like a mirror in your face
I'll make sure you won't forget my name


3. CRUSH

Dying for an answer.
Do I ever cross your mind?
Living a life in search of reason.
Hoping soon I'll learn to fly,
Like there's no boundaries in the heavens.
I'll write our names across the sky.
In hopes that you may catch a glimpse
And think of me so I can sleep tonight.

Girl, it crushed my dreams,
Today when you fell out of love with me
And it breaks my heart
To think tomorrow we'll be worlds apart.
(x2)

It's a small world after all.
The things I'd do for you.
You could've bit your tongue, but instead you fucked it up like you always do.
After all you put me through.
My heart started beating the day that we met, then walked out of my life with you.

Girl, it crushed my dreams,
Today when you fell out of love with me
And it breaks my heart
To think tomorrow we'll be worlds apart.
(x2)

I miss the way you say my name.
Your body language speaking poetry.
Now that you've gone away,
Things could never be the same
You know you, crushed my dreams (crushed my dreams)
Crushed my dreams (crushed my dreams)
Crushed my dreams today when you fell out of love with me

Lying awake, this is not what I wanted.
I've been lying awake, this is not what I wanted.
Lying awake, this is not what I wanted.
A life without you I refuse to depart.
My hope, I'm a dreamer. I'll fight till the end
If the odds are against me, I will not cave in.

Oh! I've been looking for my way out from here.
I've been looking for my way out from here.

Lying awake this not what I wanted...
A life without you I refuse to depart.
Time heals all.
It's taken so Goddamn long.

Girl, it crushed my dreams,
Today when you fell out of love with me
And it breaks my heart
To think tomorrow we'll be worlds apart.
(x2)

I miss the way you say my name.
Your body language speaking poetry.
Now that you've gone away,
Things could never be the same
You know you, crushed my dreams (crushed my dreams)
Crushed my dreams (crushed my dreams)
Crushed my dreams today when you fell out of love with me


4. MONARCHY

Let the pieces fall, into their places!
Turn around and see how far we've made it.

Will anybody care what time it is?
Standing at the end of all existence.
I will find my way.
Come watch me go the distance

Why are we so attracted?
Why are dangerous things so attractive?

I've got a problem, I'm addicted in the worst way
And I thought by now I'd be okay
Living in a Monarchy,
A slave to the fact that I Am King of my dreams.

(You were just a part in I Am King)

Will anybody care what time it is?
Standing at the end of all existence.
I will find my way.
Come watch me go the distance
Change, don't ever be afraid of it.
Just think together everything that we could make of it.
Brace yourself and take it in.
Set the course and let's begin.

I've got a problem, I'm addicted in the worst way
And I thought by now I'd be okay
The lure of power, it haunts me.

Turn the tables, start with my heart.
Young and faithful.
How quickly things can change when we're worlds apart.

Will anybody care what time it is?
Standing at the end
It never crossed my mind.
When every second that I wake feels like eternity,
Or all this time I wasted chasing after broken dreams.
Closer and Closer, I'm wiser and older.
You see how the flaws of my nature have paved a way...

Will anybody care what time it is?
Standing at the end of all existence.
I will find my way.
Come watch me go the distance
Change, don't ever be afraid of it.
Just think together everything that we could make of it.
Brace yourself and take it in.
Set the course and let's begin.


5. BATTLE SCARS

I feel like I'm my own worst enemy.
I feel like every time I try, I fail and it is killing me.
So listen up. You broke my heart, but it's not your fault.
It just takes time getting used to being alone
And I'm not used to it at all

I'm know I'm not a perfect person.
Thanks for tearing me apart.
The deepest wounds may never show
The hardest part of giving up is never letting go
All is not lost when you lose all control
Just take a deep breath, there is room left to grow.

You see I knew you would be leaving
I went from being undefeated to a long shot
What was simple and perfect is now crowded with shame and doubt
Maybe someday I will perfect the art of forgiveness and learn to forgive myself.

I'm know I'm not a perfect person.
Thanks for tearing me apart.
The deepest wounds may never show
The hardest part of giving up is never letting go
All is not lost when you lose all control
Just take a deep breath, there is room left to grow.

I can see my life for what it is!
Nothing will stand in my way!
Nothing will distract me.
I don't need anyone or anything distracting me
In this very moment, I feel alive.

Press on, we've got nothing to lose.

The deepest wounds may never show
The hardest part of giving up is never letting go
All is not lost when you lose all control
Just take a deep breath, there is room left to grow.

Press on! We've got nothing to lose.


6. SOLIDARITY

Tell me what it's like staring in from the outside.
Tell me all the things I could say to make you wanna stay.
Darling stay!

I've always had a way with saying things too late,
What's the point of being honest when you always take it the wrong way?!

Tell me what it's like staring in from the outside.
Tell me all the things I could say to make you wanna stay.
Oh darling stay with me!

I'm not perfect, but I'm worth the wait.
Nobody's perfect, but together we could be.

Your love is a weapon, you've killed my hope
And now I know what I did, just know that it wasn't with bad intentions.

I never meant to hurt you, I only meant to lift you up.
I gave you my all, but it seems all my Love.
All my love just wasn't enough.

I've always had a way with saying things too late,
What's the point of being honest when you always take it the wrong way?!

Tell me what it's like staring in from the outside.
Tell me all the things I could say to make you wanna stay.
Oh darling stay with me!

If you needed space, that's all you needed to say.
I tried to make you all mine but only pushed you away.
I would drop all of these bad habits if everything would be okay.
Let's make this work it could be perfect... I've been bad but I can change.
So what I gotta do? Tell me things that I could say...
To make you not wanna leave and stay right here with me.

Tell me what it's like staring in from the outside.
Tell me all the things I could say to make you wanna stay.
Oh darling stay with me!

Nobody's perfect but together we could be.


7. MELTDOWN

Count your blessings! You better count your blessings!
Count your blessings! You better count your blessings!

My selfish side has got a special way of coping and
My selflessness and expectations are a part of who I am, who I am.

But who I could be, and everything that I will do
Will all amount to nothing in the end if I don't end up here with you.

When the sky falls down and the stars burn out.
Will the thoughts inside your mind
Paint you pictures of the good times.
When the sky falls down!
When the sky falls down!
May the light of my love keep you safe and sound.

(Trust in love again)
(Trust in love again)

Black holes and shooting stars, when all we know is at its end
Don't forget who you are, or how you've got here.
Everything for a reason, life is not fair.
We all have nightmares, we all have night terrors.
We all deserve a chance to stand and fight for our dreams.
Close your eyes, take a breath and accept your fate
I'll be okay if you're here with me.

When the sky falls down and the stars burn out.
Will the thoughts inside your mind
Paint you pictures of the good times.
When the sky falls down!
When the sky falls down!
May the light of my love keep you safe and sound.

Trust in love again.
Trust in love again.
Whether our worlds collide in space
Or they go their separate ways
You'll always be a part of me.
A part of me.

When all we know is at its end,
I'll close my eyes and just pretend
Cause honestly
There ain't a place in the universe I'd rather be,
Than here in this room.
Dreaming about you and me.

Seems like we're ready for a meltdown,
I guess I'll look out for myself now.
Surprise! Surprise! I didn't do what you expected!

When the sky falls down and the stars burn out.
Will the thoughts inside your mind
Paint you pictures of the good times.
When the sky falls down!
When the sky falls down!
When the sky falls down and the stars burn out.
When the sky falls down.


8. SOAP BOX

The destination is in my hands.
Where I'll end up, I won't give up until I reach the end.
Even though my heart is heavy,
My feet are off the ground, but still I hear no sound.

I'm way too concentrated on the process to waste my efforts
Contemplating what the outcome of my journey has in store for me.
So give it up, give it up, if you've had enough.
Switch it up and accomplish what you're dreaming of.
If you really wanna make a change....
Take a look in the mirror, repeat after me

Don't wait and fight your conscience if it feels right,
Just say the way that you're feeling on the inside.
We were made to make mistakes and we're all the same,
So if you feel me let me hear you say

Don't hate! Appreciate
The life you lead and the path you take.
Spread love and never judge
What makes sense to you, may not to some so
Keep your pace and hold your head up
Keep your faith, soon everything will be okay.

You know you got it what it takes.
Why go and waste your time?
Filling your head with lies
Switch it up, Switch it up
Prove to us you've had enough
Make something of yourself
Make something of yourself!

Don't wait and fight your conscience if it feels right,
Just say the way that you're feeling on the inside.
We were made to make mistakes and we're all the same,
So if you feel me let me hear you say

Don't hate! Appreciate
The life you lead and the path you take.
Spread love and never judge
What makes sense to you, may not to some so
Keep your pace and hold your head up
Keep your faith, soon everything will be okay.

Not much makes sense in this pretentious world that we're living in.
Just keep your pace and hold your head
You must be proud of who you are and live your life with no regrets.

How far you gonna go?
All depends on the amount of will that you posses to reach your goals
Now everybody knows, you pour your heart and your soul into things that you hold close.

Let your passion take control!

Don't hate! Appreciate
The life you lead and the path you take.
Spread love and never judge
What makes sense to you, may not to some so
Keep your pace and hold your head up
Keep your faith, soon everything will be okay.


9. PLAYING THROUGH THE PAIN

I'm stuck and can't decide.
They say the grass ain't always greener on the other side.
Should I press my luck or quit while I'm ahead?
I'll admit it, I wasn't committed to this relationship
Then you came into my life.
Made me an offer and told me not to think twice.
You make it hard to deny, I stuck, I cant decide.
Should I follow my heart or am I losing my mind?

Stuck on these thoughts as the weight of my options crash down upon me.
I've been lying in bed all night but I can't sleep.
I know what I like. Everyone's got vices.
I know what I like. Everyone's got vices.
I know what I like. Everyone's got vices.
My needs are beckoning me.

I don't need anyone or anything distracting me.
I'll keep the memories as harsh reminders of everything I never want to be.
Now I know exactly what I want.
Now I know exactly what it takes.
I have the will I'll find my way.
I have the will I'll find my way.

Where there is a will, there is a way.
Walking down a road that separates and can take me to entirely different places.
My state of mind is fuck the world till I get what is mine.
I refuse to conform, I refuse to decide.

I don't need anyone or anything distracting me.
I'll keep the memories as harsh reminders of everything I never want to be.
Now I know exactly what I want.
Now I know exactly what it takes.
I have the will I'll find my way.
I have the will I'll find my way.

It's in my lungs, its in my blood.
Its in my heart, it haunts my thoughts.
You made your move and played the part, now I know exactly what I want and what it takes.
I have the will I'll find my way, and end up exactly where I meant to be.
With the past at my back and the world in front of me.

I don't need anyone or anything distracting me.
I'll keep the memories as harsh reminders of everything I never want to be.
Now I know exactly what I want.
Now I know exactly what it takes.
I have the will I'll find my way.
I have the will I'll find my way.

We all have our vices. I know what I like and we all have our vices.
Stuck on these thoughts as the weight of my options crash down upon me.
The truth is always worse in black in white.
