1. FAKE FICTION

Fake, fiction, make believe
Bring out the worst in you
Bring out the best in me
And so
I've gotta learn to let you go

Come how you are
Yeah, we've been here before
We've both seen things you won't admit
Yeah, you won't admit to this shit
You're traumatized by affection
But I think you're missing the point
And I never thought you'd be
You would be over it

It's all, it's all
It's all, it's all just

Fake, fiction, make believe
Bring out the worst in you
Bring out the best in me
And so
I've gotta learn to let you go
It's fake, fiction, make believe
You wouldn't share the truth
I was too blind to see
And so
I've gotta learn to let you
Learn to let you go

First up with the worst luck
Impulsive calls
Chew me up and spit me out
Each time I fall
Why can't you just be real with me

It's all, it's all
It's all, it's all just

Fake, fiction, make believe
Bring out the worst in you
Bring out the best in me
And so
I've gotta learn to let you go
It's fake, fiction, make believe
You wouldn't share the truth
I was too blind to see
And so
I've gotta learn to let you
Learn to let you go

I know, I know
It'll never be the same
I am, I am
Certainly ashamed
The tell tale in your eyes
When you wear that crooked smile
That crooked smile
That crooked smile

Fake, fiction, make believe
Bring out the worst in you
Bring out the best in me
And so
I've gotta learn to let you go

Fake, fiction, make believe
Bring out the worst in you
Bring out the best in me
And so
I've gotta learn to let you go
It's fake, fiction, make believe
You wouldn't share the truth
I was too blind to see
And so
I've gotta learn to let you
Learn to let you go


2. MONSTROUS THINGS

Well girl these bones are meant to lay to rest
They're battered bruised and broken but
Don't count me out just yet

She's in my head
She's in my head
I remember everything that she said
Yeah she's in my head
She's in my head
Rewind it back and do it over again

These monstrous things
That we dream in our sleep
Are enough to strike fear
Into those who are weak
But we fight for our lives
Inside the minds of our own
Just waiting for the moment
When we return home

Each dream is a journey
So lucid dreamer make your own
But with the path less traveled
Can you hope to find what you were searching for

So be a man
Get up and take your stand
Not because you want to
But because you can

These monstrous things
That we dream in our sleep
Are enough to strike fear
Into those who are weak
But we fight for our lives
Inside the minds of our own
Just waiting for the moment
When we return home

You're the goal I've been reaching for
You're always what I've wanted
And now I want you even more
But if you can't wake up
And your eyes stay shut
When you can't tell me that its enough

I'm pulling through
I'm pulling you
I'm pulling through
I'm pulling you
But I can't do this on my own

I can't help

She's in my head
She's in my head
I remember everything that she said
Yeah she's in my head
She's in my head
Rewind it back and do it over again

These monstrous things
That we dream in our sleep
Are enough to strike fear
Into those who are weak
But we fight for our lives
Inside the minds of our own
Just waiting for the moment
When we return home


3. NEW FACE

We come into
A scene that's casting me and you
When tides are turning
Fight or flight
Keeping up would be alright

Is he now the photo by your bed
Hoping he could help you clear your head

You just need a new face to replace
To forget the haunting memories
A new face to replace
To forget the ones we made
(The ones we made)

Six years wasted
Six years down
Now I'm just another ghost
You don't want around

Is he now the photo by your bed
Hoping he could help you clear your head

You just need a new face to replace
To forget the haunting memories
A new face to replace
To forget the ones we made
New face to replace
To forget the haunting memories
A new face to replace
To forget the ones we made

You'll stay aware
The thought
Of all
You lost
All we'll ever be are memories
All framed and sitting on your night stand
That image never goes away

Just need a new face to replace, me

You just need a new face to replace
To forget the haunting memories
A new face to replace
To forget the ones we made
New face to replace
To forget the haunting memories
A new face to replace
To forget the ones we made

Forget the ones we made


4. SPEAK SOFTLY

Speak to me softly now
I swear you'll never live this down
We move so slowly now
Now that you know your sin is out

Lust so carelessly
But were you ever free, yeah
Temptation's lost its way
No longer I'm astray
If you can't hold out
Then keep your volume down

Speak to me softly now
I swear you'll never live this down
We move so slowly now
Now that you know your sin is out

Give me your all
Stares pierce your skin
And society won't be forgiving
Of you this time
From time to time
You will learn just how to regret
Who you let inside
So keep your volume down

Speak to me softly now
I swear you'll never live this down
We move so slowly now
Now that you know your sin is out

Your sin is out
Lust so carelessly
But were you ever free, yeah
Temptation's lost its way
No longer I'm astray

Speak to me softly now
I swear you'll never live this down
We move so slowly now
Now that you know your sin is out

Is out


5. JUST EXIST

Brief little horrors send men to their graves
Without foresight they can't escape
They call on their loved ones with no avail
Doomed to fail
They scream pick up pick up
But no one is listening
Get up, get up, do you hear a thing
I've called you once and now I've called you twice
With a dead line

Well, well, this truly is a shame
But from day one I knew you'd change

I don't wanna live in a world like this
Where ignorance is bliss
Go on you've got your wish
Just exist
I don't wanna live in a world like this
Infatuation takes its toll
You've played your role
Love's not real

With constant blurring I'll forget your face
Memories fading without a trace
Wait for a relapse or something to break
Then you'll be back
Nights like these
Where I feel real
Reality sets in and I'll be gone again

Well, well, this truly is a shame
But from day one I knew you'd change

I don't wanna live in a world like this
Where ignorance is bliss
Go on you've got your wish
Just exist
I don't wanna live in a world like this
Infatuation takes its toll
You've played your role
Love's not real
Love's not real

The queen of hearts is tearing me apart
I will not give in
I will not give in

I don't wanna live in a world like this
Where ignorance is bliss
Go on you've got your wish
Just exist
I don't wanna live in a world like this
Infatuation takes its toll
You've played your role
Love's not real

I don't wanna live in a world like this
I don't wanna live in a world like this


6. BELIEVE

I was naive to wear my heart on my sleeve
Sharing every piece of me
Let you in, tell you all my secrets, meant to understand
But nothing ever goes as planned

And nothing's ever quite what it seems

You can't believe what you won't believe
The words you say when you're judging me just cause you grief
You can't believe what you won't believe
You made your mind up before I speak, just leave me be

Vulnerable, you think you've got the upper hand
Guess I'm gullible, trusting you'd still feel the same
I try to explain there's no need to bother
I wear my sins as a badge of honor

You can't believe what you won't believe
The words you say when you're judging me just cause you grief
You can't believe what you won't believe
You made your mind up before I speak, just leave me be

Just leave me be

I'm not the person you made me out to be
You're blind, so blind, too blind to see
I try, I only feel alone, I try, I try
But something's hurt worse than sticks and stones

And nothing's ever quite what it seems

You can't believe what you won't believe
The words you say when you're judging me just cause you grief
You can't believe what you won't believe
You made your mind up before I speak, just leave me be

Leave me be
Leave me be
Leave me be


7. HONESTLY

Constantly stuck in your
Substance dependencies, bipolar tendencies
While I'm wishing away every
Thought and memory I can replay
Of you

I'm restless, I'm mistreated
Struck down
I feel misled
Honestly, the dishonesty
Leaves me desperate on a dead end road

Queen of the night
You didn't so much as think twice
Was this all just out of spite
While you're drowning your liver
Suffocating your lungs
Life could have ended before it begun
Worse comes to worst, well
You're the worst
Excuse for a mother I've ever heard

I'm restless, I'm mistreated
Struck down
I feel misled
Honestly, the dishonesty
Leaves me desperate on a dead end road
I'm restless, I'm mistreated
Struck down
I feel misled
But you'd never know
You can't call this home

You keep me up at night
With danger of strangers lurking the halls
Screams fight
One day you'll wake up
With no way out
These scars show just where you belong

I'm restless, I'm mistreated
Struck down
I feel misled
Honestly, the dishonesty
Leaves me desperate on a dead end road
I'm restless, I'm mistreated
Struck down
I feel misled
But you'd never know
You can't call this home


8. WHO WE ARE

Darlin' please full of jealousy
It's a common courtesy, remember
Just refrain, control your temper

What happened to your trust in virtue
I'm gonna have to remind you

With another day, a moment, rest assured
I've been right here, I'm always yours
Drown your insecurities
If you keep me in your heart I'm never far
Never doubting who we are
I won't ever let you sink

When all seems to fall out of place
We'll learn from mistakes we can't replace

What happened to your trust in virtue
I'm gonna have to remind you

With another day, a moment, rest assured
I've been right here, I'm always yours
Drown your insecurities
If you keep me in your heart I'm never far
Never doubting who we are
I won't ever let you sink

Once
Just once
Just once believe in me

Once
Just once
Just once believe in me
(What happened to your trust in virtue)
Once
Just once
Just once believe in me
(I'm gonna have to remind you)

With another day, a moment, rest assured
I've been right here, I'm always yours
Drown your insecurities
If you keep me in your heart I'm never far
Never doubting who we are
I won't ever let you sink

With another day
(I'm always yours)
Another day
(I'm always yours)
I won't ever let you sink
Let you sink


9. WAITING

Questioning myself
While I'm running in circles
Searching for something else
Pale and sleepless self
Broken and restless from
What I've become

I'm not dead just yet

Waiting, waiting for some clarity
Lost inside another fantasy
I've been searching for something that doesn't exist
Waiting, waiting for some clarity

Calm down, breathe out
Maybe I'm scared or maybe I'm just unprepared
Am I worthless, pointless
Or am I pathetic, lost but I can't get it

I'm not dead just yet

Waiting, waiting for some clarity
Lost inside another fantasy
I've been searching for something that doesn't exist
Waiting, waiting for some clarity
And I swear
If the moment ever comes I won't be there
I won't be there
So I'll stop
Waiting, waiting for some clarity
Lost inside another fantasy

I know you won't show

I've been expecting too much of not enough
The world won't stop for me to make a mark
Well I can't (Well I can't)
Bite my tongue (Bite my tongue)
I've been avoiding sleep
So I'll be self deceived

Waiting, waiting for some clarity

Waiting, waiting for some clarity
Lost inside another fantasy
I've been searching for something that doesn't exist
Waiting, waiting for some clarity
And I swear
If the moment ever comes I won't be there
I won't be there
So I'll stop
Waiting, waiting for some clarity
Lost inside another fantasy


10. ONE OF US

I've left my rest so far away
This is how were repaid
Once a man now a forgotten friend
Was I truly meant to understand

We will wait as time goes by
With no one left in sight
With no one left in sight

You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
You took us for granted
Forget what your handed
You let us down
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
So put this on paper
We'll rewrite the maker
And let us down

You'd never know from underlying
Promising, indifference
This is all your fault
Shame and remorse are what you stand for
Have you ever said
Have you ever thought
Maybe there is
More to life than
What your mother taught

We will wait as time goes by
With no one left in sight
With no one left in sight

You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
You took us for granted
Forget what your handed
You let us down
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
So put this on paper
We'll rewrite the maker
And let us down

You make walking away
Look so much easier
Than movies do these days
Our bonds have broken
Now you've lost our trust
Just let me know when
You've had enough

You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
You took us for granted
Forget what your handed
You let us down

You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
You took us for granted
Forget what your handed
You let us down
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
So put this on paper
We'll rewrite the maker
And let us down

I've become callous
To the thought
Of you returning home
I'd rather be alone
Than hear your bullshit
One more fucking time
About how things will work out
And then be just fine


11. WITHOUT YOU

Being at a loss for words
Hopefully heaven exists
It's what you deserve

I guess it's all perspective
Why can't you let 'em live?

What if I can't, what if I can't live without you?
What if I can't, what if I can't live without you?
You showed me how, showed me why,
Showed me something when I can't decide
What if I can't, what if I can't live without you
Without you?

Lifeless
Who says it's time to go
Who says that you aren't home
Selfish
Who says you're owning things
Taking them by any means

I guess it's all perspective
Why can't you let 'em live

What if I can't, what if I can't live without you?
What if I can't, what if I can't live without you?
You showed me how, showed me why,
Showed me something when I can't decide
What if I can't, what if I can't live without you
Without you?

I'll end it now, wishing for a lifeline
Stuck inside another lifetime
Now, wishing for a lifeline
Wishing it was me instead of you
If heaven's real it's made for you
But I'll never see you again

What if I can't, what if I can't live without you?
What if I can't, what if I can't live without you?
You showed me how, showed me why,
Showed me something when I can't decide
What if I can't, what if I can't live without you
Without you?


12. UNANNOUNCED

Too quick to react to little things
Always pointing blame
I might be a hopeless case
But doll face, my pretty little piece of art

I can't think straight
The silence it haunts me
Your words, they kill me
And I'm to blame
Misfortune may as well be my middle name

Calm our voices down
Where I pretend I'm fearless, unafraid
And have a lot to say
Can we calm our voices down
There will come a fateful day someone will
Walk away unannounced

But doll face,
Surely you don't mean to say these things

I can't think straight
The silence it haunts me
Your words, they kill me
And I'm to blame
Misfortune's out for me

Calm our voices down
Where I pretend I'm fearless, unafraid
And have a lot to say
Can we calm our voices down
There will come a fateful day someone will
Walk away unannounced

But surely you don't mean to say these things
What doesn't bend is bound to break
Attempted compromises, but attempted too late
Now you're gone without a trace
Goodbye love, hello heartache
Now I just write letters to the one that got away
Too quick to react to little things
Always pointing blame

Calm our voices down
Where I pretend I'm fearless, unafraid
And have a lot to say
Can we calm our voices down
There will come a fateful day someone will
Walk away unannounced

I can't think straight
(Can't think straight)
The silence it haunts me
Your words, they kill me
And I'm to blame
(Can't think straight)
Misfortune may as well be my middle name
