1. BETTER PLACE

Get away from me
Hide your shame from me
Get away somehow
You drag me down
Denial so bad
Just wait and see
I don't owe you anything
And you don't own me!

I will not forget
Don't burden me with all of your problems.
Don't weigh me down with all of your fears.
Cutting you out of my life forever
To tear apart this pain that I feel

Everyday's the same,
Driving me insane
Just take one step back
I'm getting my life on track
Realizing now, how you break me down
I'm in such a better place
Without you around!

I will not forget
Don't burden me with all of your problems.
Don't weigh me down with all of your fears.
Cutting you out of my life forever
To tear apart this pain that I feel

The pain that I feel

The pain that I feel

Tear apart, oh
Tear apart, the pain that I feel.

I will not forget

Don't burden me with all of your problems.
Don't weigh me down with all of your fears.
Cutting you out of my life forever
To tear apart this pain that I feel

Don't burden me with all of your problems.
Don't weigh me down with all of your fears.
Cutting you out of my life forever
To tear apart this pain that I feel


2. BLOW ME WIDE OPEN

You've got a face to kill for
Another play, you even the score
Another nail, scratch the headboard
Do you remember me?
Well, that's it; move how you do
Another empty space that fills you
Another bone to chill through
Why do you wanna be
Forgettable and so replaceable?

I'm not ready to go
You've just started your show
And there's too many words we've left unspoken
Now that I've played your game
I won't be the same
I make my move then you blow me wide open
Blow me wide open

I've got no time to waste on this
Watch the smile fall from your lips
Another good one that you missed
Do you remember me?
Somehow, you're pulling me in
Hiding me under your skin
So many times I've been
I guess I'll always be
Forgettable and so invisible

I'm not ready to go
You've just started your show
And there's too many words we've left unspoken
Now that I've played your game
I won't be the same
I make my move then you blow me wide open

No matter what you do
Someone is watching you
It used to be something new
But I'm getting used to it
And you blow me wide open

I'm not ready to go
You've just started your show
And there's too many words we've left unspoken
Now that I've played your game
I won't be the same
I make my move then you blow me wide open
Blow me wide open
And you blow me wide open


3. LET ME LIVE MY LIFE

I am scared of the face in the mirror
All the cracks in the glass, getting clearer
I always overthink make it so hard
On no one else but myself

Let me live my life
I can go get my knife
Or I can pull out the one that you stuck in my back
For my suffering, you've got nothing to gain
My pain is your entertainment

I feel the fear in my head, it's so heavy
Holding down both my hands to keep them steady
When I stop shaking, everything's so easy
On myself, no one else so

Let me live my life
I can go get my knife
Or I can pull out the one that you stuck in my back
For my suffering, you've got nothing to gain
My pain is your entertainment

Let me live my life
I can go get my knife
Or I can pull out the one that you stuck in my back
For my suffering, you've got nothing to gain
My pain is your entertainment

Let me live my life
I can go get my knife
Or I can pull out the one that you stuck in my back
For my suffering, you've got nothing to gain
My pain is your entertainment

Let me live my life and pull out the knife
You know, the one that you stuck in my back
The one that you stuck in my back


4. EVEN THOUGH I SAY

Oh, how I try to pick up what I leave behind
The trail of lies, it follows me all the time
I've known all along the difference of right or wrong
The damage has been done and I can't just rewind
But I can try and try and try 'cause it makes me feel alive

And even though I say
I'm sorry I'm this way
And even though I've changed
People will stay the same
And even though I don't play
I've become fair game
And if you're looking at me
Like I'm the cause of your living hell
Well take a look at yourself

Oh, how you cry when I leave for the other side
Something makes me wanna go away but I can't decide
You knew all along the difference of right and wrong
This movie feels like it's too long but you can't just rewind
But you can try and try and try if it makes you feel alive

And even though I say
I'm sorry I'm this way
And even though I've changed
People will stay the same
And even though I don't play
I've become fair game
And now you're looking at me
Like I'm the cause of your living hell
Just take a look at yourself

You make me feel like I'm so small
I keep sinking in this hole
I'm getting closer to the edge
One more step and watch me fall
You said so much I believed it all

You can lie and lie and lie
If it makes you feel alive

And even though I say
I'm sorry I'm this way
And even though I've changed
People will stay the same
And even though I don't play
I've become fair game
And if you're looking at me
Like I'm the cause of your living hell
Well take a look at
Just take a look at you
Well take a look at yourself


5. FAIRY TALE

Now the game is over
So do you remember
All the time you spent
Saying things you never really meant?
It was all pretend
And it caught up to you in the end
(Caught up to you in the end)

So your flight has landed
And you're feeling stranded
But you will fake your way through
The wreckage of one more useless day

Just one more day
Just one more useless day

Play the victim again
It keeps getting older
Your story is over

Your fairy tale's at the end
(Fairy tale's at the end)
Your fairy tale's at the end
(Fairy tale's at the end)
You're story over, again
Your fairy tale's at the end

You want a chance to rewind
Or maybe change your one-track mind
But you're too afraid of changing
So you're locking yourself up
In that safe place
In that same old place
(In that same old place)

Play the victim again
It keeps getting older
Your story is over

Your fairy tale's at the end
(Fairy tale's at the end)
Your fairy tale's at the end
(Fairy tale's at the end)
You're story over, again
Your fairy tale's at the end

Never thought you'd ever feel this way again
Now misery's your only friend

Everything you said but never really meant
Caught up to you in the end

Your fairy tale's at the end
(Fairy tale's at the end)
Your fairy tale's at the end
(Fairy tale's at the end)
You're story over, again
Your fairy tale's at the end!

Your fairy tale!
Is at the end!

Your fairy tale
Is at the end!


6. KING OF NOTHING

Come on put yourself back together
Pick up some pieces of the hearts you've shattered
What have you thrown away this time?
Are you really that out of your mind?

Better pull yourself together
You could be something
You're one step closer to the throne
King of nothing
Do you see yourself in the mirror?
You should be something
You're one step closer to the throne
King of nothing
King of nothing

When did you decide to start the lie
Or were you born that way
You'll defend yourself to the bitter end yeah yeah
You push everyone you know away
This time you'll pay when you've got nothing
You got no reason to pretend

Better pull yourself together
You could be something
You're one step closer to the throne
King of nothing
Do you see yourself in the mirror?
You should be something
You're one step closer to the throne
King of nothing

All the dreams you've been chasing
All the life you've been missing
It's all right here waiting for you
And it's so disappointing
The only one that you're hurting
The only heart that you're breaking belongs to you

So pull yourself together
You could be something
You're one step closer to the throne
King of nothing
Do you see yourself in the mirror?
You should be something
You're one step closer to the throne
King of nothing

Better pull yourself together
You could be something
You're one step closer to the throne
King of nothing
King of... nothing
King of... nothing nothing


7. WASTE MY TIME

Hold onto me
Like we're the only ones that see
The sky above us falling down
And breathe in my ear
Like we're the only ones that hear
The mountains crashing down

I had wasted most of my life
Playing games that I knew I'd lose
Let me sing to you, just sit here don't move
I just wanna waste some time with you

So take my hand
I don't understand
How they kept us apart for so long
And smile so I can see
That it's really you in front of me
'Cause that's still just so hard to believe

I have wasted most of my life
Playing games that I knew I'd lose
Let me sing to you
Just sit here don't move
I just wanna waste some time with you

Forcing back the tears
Over all the years
Boarding up the door
And throwing my hope to the floor
I could not forget
Now it all makes sense
That you're here with me
And I never never want to leave

I would've wasted most of my life
Never even knowing you
Now you sing to me and I still don't believe
That you wanna waste some time with me

Let me sing to you, just sit here don't move
I just wanna waste some time with you
And now you sing to me and I still don't believe
That you wanna waste your time with me


8. DYING SLOWLY

Why am I so numb?
Why do I feel so dumb?
When it's just you and I
It's that look in your eye
How do you do this to me?
Make me feel so alive
Why did you do this to me
So I can't survive?

I feel so alone now
There's no way out now because

Without you I can see
I would be just another
Sad junkie, mindless freak
Losing sleep dying slowly
Dying slowly

I know it's not your fault
There's nothing wrong here at all
But when it's just me and you
I feel there's nothing I can do
I feel there's nothing I can say
I'm so scared of the day
When this fucked up world tries to take you away

I feel so alone now
There's no way out now because

Without you I can see
I would be just another
Sad junkie, mindless freak
Losing sleep dying slowly
Dying slowly

I've never been so loving
I've never felt so low
I wanna just be something more than dying slowly
Dying slowly
I'm dying slowly

Why am I so numb?
Why do I feel so dumb?
Why should I even try
When I can't survive

Without you I can see
I would be just another
Sad junkie, mindless freak
Losing sleep dying slowly
Dying
Dying
Dying slowly


9. TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH THE WORLD

Sam, the weak accomplice
He knew he had a choice
He always startled easily
With the sound of every voice
A pocket full of excess
They take and take and take
He left him with a trigger pointed
Staring at his shakes

And it goes on
It goes on

She was given nothing
But their selfish lack
They sleep with one eye open
'Cause they know she's coming back
But she will wait her turn
Absent from concern
The furnace inside her
It burns and burns and burns

And it goes on, on
It goes on

Weaklings never practice
What they preach
They cower down below
That's what you call defeat
And in their darkest hour
It's hard to breathe
We try to catch up with the world
But we're so far out of reach
We're so far out of reach

Leaning in the dark
Stands this faked man
Slicing her with his words
Always grabbing her with his hands

And it goes on, on
It goes on

Weaklings never practice
What they preach
They cower down below
That's what you call defeat
And in their darkest hour
It's hard to breathe
We try to catch up with the world
But we're so far out of reach

I wish I had've warned you
Of this broken path
With each step you take
You know there's no turning back

Weaklings never practice
What they preach
They cower down below
That's what you call defeat
And in their darkest hour
It's hard to breathe
We try to catch up with the world
But we're so far out of reach

We try to catch up with the world
We try to catch up with the world
We try to catch up with the world
But we're so far out of reach

We try to catch up with the world
We try to catch up with the world
We try to catch up with the world
But we're so far out of reach


10. HAPPY TRAGEDY

Well can you hear that sound of my insides turning out
The meaning of my life will never be found
I'm playing life's little games
Seeing faces without names
And all around me people change while I just stay the same
So for your own good

Write me off
Let me go
It's obvious to me
I'll never be the one you need
So leave me now
Don't turn around
I'm just a living casualty
I'm your happy tragedy
Your happy tragedy

Will you bring me in
Watch the scaling of your skin
The meaning of my thoughts are so far within
You want to play my game
Watch the crazy
Watch me sane
And all the while you're rearranging, I just stay the same
So for your own good

Write me off
Let me go
It's obvious to me
I'll never be the one you need
So leave me now
Don't turn around
I'm just a living casualty
I'm your happy tragedy

I've never been enough for you
Everything I said I'd do
I've never been enough for you
It's never been enough

Write me off
Let me go
It's obvious to me
I'll never be the one you need
So leave me now
Don't turn around
I'm just a living casualty
I'm your happy tragedy

Can you hear the sound of my insides turning out
There's no meaning I'm just your happy tragedy
I'm playing life's little games
Seeing faces without names
I'm your happy tragedy
I'm your happy tragedy


11. LEAVING MINNESOTA

I wanted to try so hard
But she had no interest
In seeing me or my face again
Feels like a bullet in my chest

Now I'm leaving Minnesota
Would have been nice to have seen ya
In the middle of self-realization you've lost me along the way
And now I'm leaving Minnesota
But I've got nowhere to go, yeah
In the middle of self-realization you've lost me along the way
Me along the way

I heard you cried when you spoke of me
I can't help but think it's all a lie
Like they say, if you love something
Let it free
And let it fly

So now I'm leaving Minnesota
Would have been nice to have seen ya
In the middle of self-realization you've lost me along the way
And now I'm leaving Minnesota
But I've got nowhere to go, yeah
In the middle of self-realization you've lost me along the way

Lost me along the way
Lost me along the way

Now I'm leaving Minnesota
Would have been nice to have seen ya
In the middle of self-realization you've lost me along the way
Now I'm leaving Minnesota
But I've got nowhere to go
In the middle of self-realization you've lost me along the way
You've lost me along the way
