1. HEART VS. MIND

I can feel it taking over me.

This is a declaration, of a war fought behind a veil.
This is a revelation, as told through the age old tale.
In which I've heard a thousand times before, nothing matters anymore, and I'm reminded as I stare at this revolving door.
Of all the times I've failed, and all the times I've sworn, I'd never give up hope, and change what I stand for.

I'm just a stranger, who made a wager, for my life. (I'm afraid that, so afraid that)
I might not escape this time.
Caught in this nightmare, dreams turn to thin air,
This is the heart against the mind.

My life is on the line, it seems as if I'm running out of time.
And my thoughts are consuming me, is this the person I'm suppose to be?
It's like the fear of being buried alive, the more I try, the more I die inside.
I struggle to keep my dreams while awake, but the fear grows inside and puts me to sleep.

I'm just a stranger, who made a wager, for my life. (I'm afraid that, so afraid that)
I might not escape this time.
Caught in this nightmare, dreams turn to thin air,
This is the heart against the mind.

The war rages on, but I will not quit.
I've seen countless souls fall down that pit.
The walls doubt built up, will fall to the ground,
I'll rise back up, I won't be held down.

I'm just a stranger, who made a wager, for my life.
I might not escape this time.
Caught in this nightmare, dreams turn to thin air,
This is the heart against the mind.


2. CROSSROADS

Just hear me out, I know you're down.
When hope looks lost, there's no one to be found.
But I won't give up on you.
You gotta dig deep, and bury all the thoughts.
The thoughts that tell you, you're not good enough.
The critics, the cynics, say you'll never make it.
Prove em' all wrong, they are mistaken.

Though you may walk alone, you're worth more than you know. (More than you know)

Look me right in the eyes, I promise everything will be alright.
We are all in this fight, though the night may be dark a new day brings new light.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh. Woah-oh, Woah-oh, Woah-oh-oh-oh. [x2]

I always get built up, but broke right back down.
I ask the questions, with no answers to be found.
What have I done? What did I say? I guess this is just the price I pay.

Though you may walk alone, you're worth more than you know.

Look me right in the eyes, I promise everything will be alright.
We are all in this fight, though the night may be dark a new day brings new light.
Remember all the times, all the times you felt so alive.
When all the pain subsides, lets go back there, take me back there.

Hold on, cuz' you don't know what is going to happen.
Stay strong, your life's worth more than you know.

When your mind gets tired, and your heart grows cold.
When you find yourself at the crossroads, just don't let go.
When your mind gets tired, and your heart grows cold.
When you find yourself at the crossroads, just don't lose hope.

Look me right in the eyes, I promise everything will be alright.
We are all in this fight, though the night may be dark a new day brings new light.
Remember all the times, all the times you felt so alive.
When all the pain subsides, lets go back there, take me back there.

Hold on, cuz' you don't know what is going to happen.
Stay strong, your life's worth more than you know.


3. LOVE, LUST, AND LIARS

Now I'm gone.

I've told you once, I've told you twice.
Stab me in the back and you're gonna pay the price.

You want me back now right? Well let's rewind to that night.
That night where lust trumped love, and love got sacrificed.
And now you beg for forgiveness, acting just like a witness.
You expect me to lie down and act like it's not my business?

Now I realize, your fingerprints were at the crime.

You think you know someone, and then it comes undone.
They take the heart and run, funny how things end up now that you're gone.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh. Was your ten minutes of fun worth this song?
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh. Funny how things end up, now I'm gone.

Alright get it through your head, I'm done with you so go ahead and get back in his bed.
You whore.
This time it's different it's time that I settle the score.

Now I realize, your fingerprints were at the crime.

You think you know someone, and then it comes undone.
They take the heart and run, funny how things end up now that you're gone.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh. Was your ten minutes of fun worth this song?
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh. Funny how things end up, now I'm gone.

I gave you my life, I gave you my word.
I gave everything to get nothing in return.
I told you once, I told you twice.
Stab me in the back, now pay the fucking price. Bitch.
Stay the hell out of my life.

Stay the hell out of,
Stay the hell out of,
Stay the hell out of my life.


4. FACE YOUR DEMONS

You're so incomparable, I want to know just how you did it
Was it with your words, are you willing to admit it?
Was it with your force, you took the fruit right from the source
You stole her innocence without remorse

Hear these words, I'm gonna make sure that you remember the night when you
Stole from her, the beautiful life, the only one she ever knew
How dare you, be the fire that burned the branches off the tree, be the storm that disrupts the sea.
You are the reason, now face your demons

I'll make sure, the whole world knows your name
But for all the wrong reasons
I'll watch your body rest in flames
I'm gonna watch you rest in flames

Now that, I see the truth of the liar
I will, be the one to set the fire
Tied up, in the bed where you defiled her
Your time has expired
Expired
Open the fuck up

I'll make sure, the whole world knows your name
But for all the wrong reasons
I'll watch your body rest in flames
I'm gonna watch you rest in flames
I'll make sure, the whole world knows your name
But for all the wrong reasons
I'll watch your body rest in flames

It's time to face your demons. Yeah
You are the reason
It's time to face your demons


5. THE ENEMY

Held down, you've held me down too long
Push me back on the ground, now it's my time to right your wrong
Shut up, this is my turn now
You're just the hypocrite that's always tried to put me down

Take, take, take from me, that's all you ever do
You've taken everything, now I'm taking part of you
Run, run, run from me, it's too bad you can't see
I've got you in my sights and I'm ready to unleash

I'll take time to breath

Now, now that I see
I've lost so many battles from wars that you waged on me
But this is the moment, it's time you know it
I'm gonna make you my enemy

Laid out, placed right in front of you
But you're a parasite and I'm the host you latched on to
The fire you set, left ashes surrounding
The world that I knew, you left burning around me

Wait, wait, wait you'll see, you've been so damn naive
You think you run the show, but I have to disagree
Break, break, break you down. Go ahead take off your crown
It's time to lose control, like a fucking animal

Now, now that I see
I've lost so many battles from wars that you waged on me
But this is the moment, it's time you know it
I'm gonna make you my enemy

Listen you're worthless, let me make this clear
I'm done with betrayal, I'm done with the fear
You had the cards, but now it's time to fold
Now hear out these words, and do what you're told
Do what you're told. Do what you're fucking told

Now, now that I see
I've lost so many battles from all that you did to me
But this is the moment, it's time you know it
I'm gonna make you my enemy

Listen you're worthless, let me make this clear
I'm done with betrayal, I'm done with the fear
You had the cards, but now it's time to fold
Now hear out these words, and do what you're told

Now, now that I see
I've lost so many battles from wars that you waged on me
But this is the moment, it's time you know it
I'm gonna make you my enemy
I'm gonna make you my enemy


6. MY HEART I SURRENDER

I'm a ghost in your eyes.
A shadow you can't seem to recognize.
I have a thought of you for every, star in the sky
But I'm scared, I'll never cross your mind.
Yeah, I'm scared.

Will our stars ever align?
Will two hearts, beat in time?
These words you should always remember,
To you, my heart I surrender.
Chasing love that can never be mine.
Maybe one day you'll realize.
These words you should always remember,
To you, my heart I surrender.

My heart I surrender.

And I can't count the times.
I stayed awake pretending you were mine.
Now I'm left here with this emptiness inside,
Why can't I make you mine?

Will our stars ever align?
Will two hearts, beat in time?
These words you should always remember,
To you, my heart I surrender.
Chasing love that can never be mine.
Maybe one day you'll realize.
These words you should always remember,
To you, my heart I surrender.

My heart I surrender.

Will our stars ever align?
Will two hearts, beat in time?
These words you should always remember,
To you, my heart I surrender.
Chasing love that can never be mine.
Maybe one day you'll realize.
These words you should always remember,
To you, my heart I surrender.


7. DECEIVERS

I was so wrong to believe all of you,
Every time I open my eyes, I see the darkness come through.
The darkness come through.

I see the world through the undertow.
These anchors of hope, they drag me down below.
Put my faith in ones who promised change,
But where has it gotten me?

A broken dreamer, from a, corrupted preacher.
A vagabond, without a home,
I've been cursed to wander,
All alone.

Cuz' I've been buried alive,
I've been buried,
But I still have hope inside, yeah-ah-ah-ah-ah.

I was so wrong to believe all of you,
Every time I open my eyes,
I see the darkness come through.
If that's whats left of me, to live my life aimlessly.
I'll search for a light, a way to fight, until the world,
Collapses on me.
Collapses on me.

What good comes from the hands of a thief,
The words of a beggar,
The mind of a coward,
The heart of a sinner.
The hands dug the grave, and the words threw me in.
The minds still caved shut, but my hearts still beating.

Cuz' I've been buried alive,
I've been buried,
But I still have hope inside, yeah-ah-ah-ah-ah.

I was so wrong to believe all of you,
Every time I open my eyes,
I see the darkness come through.
If that's whats left of me, to live my life aimlessly.
I'll search for a light, a way to fight, until the world,
Collapses on me.

Collapses on me. (x3)

Is this it?
Have I spent, a lifetime of regret.
Not knowing, what I want.
Giving up all of my thoughts,
But I've changed, who I am.
I'll start over again.
Change my ways, change my life,
I am finally alive. (x3)


8. BLANK SPACE (TAYLOR SWIFT COVER)

Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?

Aye, aye

New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the good girls bad for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the Queen, baby, I'm your King.
Find out what you want
Be that guy for a month
But, the worst is yet to come, oh no

Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I could make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is he? Who is he?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name...

Girls only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't, don't say I didn't warn you

It's torture, it's torture
Don't say I didn't warn you
It's torture, it's torture
Don't say I didn't warn you

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
