1. WHEN HUMANS BECOME OUR GODS

False prophets lead the way
With smiles on their faces
Not worthy of our praise
When humans become our Gods
Feeding on our faith, our spirit fades away
We'll never ease the pain
When humans become our Gods

We beg on our knees, for someone to save us
We bow before our kings, but they're just like us
Lonely and lost, heavily brainwashed
They might even really want to save us
But they're not Gods, living among us

False prophets lead the way
With smiles on their faces
Not worthy of our praise
When humans become our Gods
Feeding on our faith, our spirit fades away
We'll never ease the pain
When humans become our Gods
When humans become our Gods

They all ride in on a white horse to save us
They teach helplessness then prey on empty souls
Lonely and lost, heavily brainwashed
They might even really want to save us
But they're not Gods, living among us

False prophets lead the way
With smiles on their faces
Not worthy of our praise
When humans become our Gods
Feeding on our faith, our spirit fades away
We'll never ease the pain
When humans become our Gods
When humans become our Gods
Gods, Gods, Gods

Blinded by our bruises and scars
Our eyes deceived by bleeding hearts
When humans become our gods
When humans become our Gods
Blinded by our bruises and scars
Our eyes deceived by bleeding hearts
When humans become our gods


2. LOSING SLEEP

Do you think you know me?
Do you think that I need your wisdom?
Do you wish that I bleed, from the words that you speak?
I-I-I'm not listening

Is it destruction you see?
To live in a world without me
I hate to break it to you, but I'm not listening

I hope you know I'm not losing sleep (I'm not losing sleep)
I hope you know I'm not losing sleep (I'm not losing sleep)
I'm not losing sleep!

Did you think you could bleach all the blood from these sheets?

Is it attention you seek?
Without me you must be lonely
I hate to break it to you, but I'm not listening

I hope you know I'm not losing sleep (I'm not losing sleep)
I hope you know I'm not losing sleep (I'm not losing sleep)
I'm not losing sleep!

I don't need pills, no need for medication
I know my worth, don't need your education

I hope you know I'm not losing sleep (I'm not losing sleep)
I hope you know I'm not losing sleep (I'm not losing sleep)
(I'm not losing sleep!)

I don't need pills, no need for medication
I know my worth, don't need your education
(I'm not losing sleep!)
No, I'm not losing sleep (I'm not losing sleep!)
I'm not losing sleep (No, no!)
I'm not losing sleep


3. LOST

When I was lost, I was searching
For someone to be the light to follow through the dark
No one was there
I promise you when you're lost, I will save you
I want to be the one to lead you through the dark
I'll never leave you
I promise you won't be alone

Looking back at it, I should've fallen apart
I can tell you the story of how I've got these scars
I was young, all alone, heart turning to stone
No attention, no love, all I heard was "Hold on"
(Hold on, hold on, hold on)
It felt like more than I can handle
I never learned, I never learned from example

When I was lost, I was searching
For someone to be the light to follow through the dark
No one was there
I promise you when you're lost, I will save you
I want to be the one to lead you through the dark
I'll never leave you
I promise you won't be alone
(Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone)
I promise you won't be alone

If you'd write a song, I'll listen a million times
And if I see that you're drowning, I would be your life-line
You'll never be perfect, just know I understand
You've already shown me what it means to be a man
You can tell me anything, I won't always agree
But I'll be glad you didn't bury it inside like me

When I was lost, I was searching
For someone to be the light to follow through the dark
No one was there
So I promise you when you're lost, I will save you
I want to be the one to lead you through the dark
I'll never leave you

These are my wounds to overcome
Even if the fight has just begun, I have won
These are my wounds to overcome
Even if the fight has just begun, I have won

When I was lost, I was searching
For someone to be the light to follow through the dark
No one was there
So I promise you when you're lost, I will save you
I want to be the one to lead you through the dark
I'll never leave you
I promise you won't be alone
(Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone)


4. OUTNUMBERED

We will still overcome

Keep your head up as you wander these streets
You heart is strong when your flesh feels weak
Waiting for the sun, you can hardly breathe
You're suffocating surrounded by enemies

There's danger in the shadows
But you don't have to go alone
There's danger in the shadows
No, I won't leave you on your own

Outnumbered but we can't back down
It's us against the world, us against the world
Outnumbered but we can't back down
To the one on the run
We will still overcome
We will still overcome

Don't get stuck in the past, as you weather the storm
Don't stray from the path even when it twists and turns
Still watching every move you make
But they're just skeletons, there're always skeletons

There's danger in the shadows
But only you on your own

Outnumbered but we can't back down
It's us against the world, us against the world
Outnumbered but we can't back down
To the one on the run
We will still overcome

Out of darkness we will rise
Fight to survive
In the eye of the storm
We will still overcome

Out of darkness we will rise
Fight to survive
In the eye of the storm
We will still overcome
We will still overcome

Outnumbered but we can't back down
It's us against the world, us against the world
Outnumbered but we can't back down
To the one on the run
We will still overcome


5. HYSTERIA

This is the end, the sky's falling down, but is it?
Hope fades, with every passing hour
You could find an apocalypse in a bed of flowers
Real talent, superpowers
Are you this way, when no one is around?

Treading water till you drown, and now you're gasping for air
You could be standing on solid ground
But you're sinking
Sinking like a stone

The sun shines bright
But everybody's locked themselves inside
They come out at night to howl at the moon
Hysteria, hysteria, hysteria, hysteria
They come out at night to howl at the moon

Stop, it smells like roses, you
Might see something that you never noticed
Just take a breath, you'll need a minute
Take a look around (You're living in it)
Real talent, superpowers

The sun shines bright
But everybody's locked themselves inside
They come out at night to howl at the moon
Hysteria, hysteria, hysteria, hysteria
They come out at night to howl at the moon

I will not cave to your hysteria
I will not cave to your hysteria
I will not cave, I will not cave

The sun shines bright
But everybody's locked themselves inside
They come out at night to howl at the moon
The sun shines bright
But everybody's locked themselves inside
They come out at night to howl at the moon
Hysteria, hysteria, hysteria, hysteria
They come out at night to howl at the moon


6. LET LIGHT OVERCOME THE DARKNESS

Let light, overcome the darkness
Let light, be your shining armor

Right now
You don't know
If you even love yourself
Drowned out, broken down
With no one to turn to for help
There's so many roads
But there's only one way
One way out of this
The glow on the hill
Is waiting for you to see it

Let light, overcome the darkness
Let light, be your shining armor
Open up your heart
And watch all the panic burst into flames
Let light, overcome the darkness

So delicate
Even just a word
Could let the devil in
Spinning around
Stuck in a cycle of shame and doubt
Our insecurities have a way
Of keeping us down
But the more you search the sooner
You will escape from hell

Let light, overcome the darkness
Let light, be your shining armor
Just open up your heart
And watch all the panic burst into flames
Let light, overcome the darkness
Overcome the darkness

(Let light, let light, let light overcome)
(Let light, let light, let light overcome the darkness)


7. THE BEATEN PATH

Followed my own footsteps
Time and time again
I thought I'd never see the end

Staring at myself in the mirror
Waiting for me to change
Hoping to break
A habit of repeating history

I was fighting the same battles over and over again
I was lost in the middle of the crowd
Stuck on the beaten path going nowhere fast
But I found my way out off of the beaten path

I made the same mistakes
Over and over again
I thought I'd never see the end

I rode the waves in a shipwreck
Sinking into the sea
Hoping to break
A habit of repeating history

I was fighting the same battles over and over again
I was lost in the middle of the crowd
Stuck on the beaten path going nowhere fast
But I found my way out off of the beaten path

Breaking the chains
As free as the wind
Leading a liberating revolution
Breaking the chains
As free as the wind
Leading a liberating revolution

I was fighting the same battles over and over again
I was lost in the middle of the crowd
Stuck on the beaten path going nowhere fast
But I found my way out

I was fighting the same battles over and over again
I was lost in the middle of the crowd
Stuck on the beaten path going nowhere fast
But I found my way out off of the beaten path
