1. CARRIED AWAY

(I won't be carried away, I say, I say...)

Yeah!

This is as weak as they come, this is as far as I'll run
I'm growing ill with the cure, you're just as hungry for more

I've exhausted all my caution
Breaking down is not an option

Haven't you had enough? Aren't you tired?
Well, this is where I draw the line
Haven't you had your fill of the empty?
Aren't you ready to sing, "I won't be carried away"

Good grief and give it a rest, my struggle never relents
We'll never know what it costs, until we're too weak to stop

I've exhausted all my caution
Breaking down is not an option

Haven't you had enough? Aren't you tired?
Well, this is where I draw the line
Haven't you had your fill of the empty?
Aren't you ready to sing, "I won't be carried away"

(I won't be carried away [x3] I say, I say)

I won't be carried away! [x7]

Haven't you had enough? Aren't you tired?
Well, this is where I draw the line
Haven't you had your fill of the empty?
Aren't you ready to sing, "I won't be carried away" (Carried away!)


2. FALL APART

(Fall apart, we don't fall apart)
Fall apart, we don't fall apart

I'll bet you didn't think that the more you'd try to kill us
The more we'd rise up, the more we'd wise up
I bet you got your hands full trying to dilute us
You've hit a brick wall, won't weaken our resolve

We've already given away
What you're trying to take, what you're trying to take
But when you've died a thousand deaths, what's one more?
We look you in the eyes and we say, and we say

Seize our families, take our homes away!
We don't fall apart, we don't fall apart

I guess you didn't think that so many would be willing
To disown their lives, to say their goodbyes
I don't think you have any idea just what you're killing
We will walk on, we live on

Who is the fool who gives what he can't save
To gain the one thing that nobody can take?
Though it may cost us everything, we look you in the eyes and we say

Seize our families, take our homes away!
We don't fall apart, we don't fall apart
Body after body to the grave
We don't fall apart, we don't fall apart

Death without love profits nothing
I must be still alive
(I must be still alive!)

Seize our families, take our homes away!
We don't fall apart, we don't fall apart
Body after body to the grave
We don't fall apart, we don't fall apart

Seize our families, take our homes away!
We don't fall apart, we don't fall apart...


3. THE GREY

I am standing on the edge of returning or just running away
I am letting myself look the other way
And the hardest part in all of this is I don't think I know my way back home
Is it worth the journey or do I let my heart settle here

How cold have I become?
I didn't want to
Lose you by what I'd done
Caught in the grey

I don't wanna look you in the eyes, you might call me away
I don't wanna give you the chance to make me stay
And the hardest part in all of this is
I know my way back, I don't want to go
And let you see all that has become of me

I should've known, I should've known
I didn't have a chance

How cold have I become?
I didn't want to
Lose you by what I'd done
Caught in the grey
It burns for a moment but
But then it numbs you
Takes you and leaves you just
Caught in the grey
(You tell me)

In your deepest pain
In your weakest hour
In your darkest night
You are lovely
(You tell me)

In your deepest pain
In your weakest hour
In your darkest night
You are lovely

How cold have I become?
I didn't want to
Lose you by what I'd done
Caught in the grey
It burns for a moment but
But then it numbs you
Takes you and leaves you just
Caught in the grey

In your deepest pain
In your weakest hour
In your darkest night
You are lovely

In your deepest pain
In your weakest hour
In your darkest night
You are lovely

I am standing on the edge of returning or just running away
