1. LAST LOOKS

Time's up
Now watch me self destruct
Lights out, the room starts shaking
I can't take it, I can't take it
Fire and flood, I'm done, I'm giving up
Cause I can't do anything but watch as it all falls...

Down I'm drowning lost again
Is this the end?

Oh god, cue the sirens
I'm gone, sound the alarm
I need this like a city in need of a wrecking ball
Cut! Scene!
Don't die like me

Turn and run before it comes undone
Caught in the act of relapsing
I'm on the tracks, collapsing

Down I'm drowning lost again
Is this the end?
Is this the end?

Oh god, cue the sirens
I'm gone, sound the alarm
I need this like a city in need of a wrecking ball
Cut! Scene!
Don't die like...
Don't die like me

I never knew there could be blood this bad
I put my fist through the face in the glass

(A broken mirrorʼs just another seven years)

Last looks
There is no end to the story
No credits to roll
I'm killing off the lead in a one man show
Now watch me self destruct

Oh god, cue the sirens
I'm gone, sound the alarm
I need this like a city in need of a wrecking ball
Cut! Scene!
Don't die like...
Don't die like me
Don't die like me


2. RETROGRADE

It all hangs in the balance, it's all a blur.
This broken neck holds the weight of the world.
The devil's finally admitted every deed.
Scarecrows and hotels, a savage thrill.
They come to life as your guts start to spill.
And as it cuts and bleeds, a statue forms in me.
I stand here frozen. I stand here frozen.

I wish I could forget it.
It's so hard I'll never get it right.
Cold hearts on a colder night.
The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife.

I wish I could forget it.
It's so hard I'll never get it right.
Cold hearts on a colder night.
The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife.

They said this place would be different, it's still the same.
I'm sanded faceless, you've taken my name.
A beaten mind won't heal, it takes you where you've been.
Thorn in my stomach, pain in my side,
You're smashing protons as two worlds collide.
With hands as cold as steel I feel you holding me.
I stand here frozen. I stand here frozen.

I wish I could forget it.
It's so hard I'll never get it right.
Cold hearts on a colder night.
The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife.

I wish I could forget it.
It's so hard I'll never get it right.
Cold hearts on a colder night.
The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife.

So I walked out of the valley,
I let myself feel the sun on my bare back
and melt the dirt off my skin.
I let the breeze of the wind cleanse me.
I let the elements in.
It was my only fucking option.
And again I was whole.
And again
I thought I could feel something one day.
But this planet doesn't have a sun.
It only has a moon that's lifeless.
And every light that shines is a dead reflection.

I wish I could forget it.
It's so hard I'll never get it right.
Cold hearts on a colder night.
The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife.

I wish I could forget it.
It's so hard I'll never get it right.
Cold hearts on a colder night.
The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife.
The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife.


3. LOST POSITIVES

Can you know what's true?
Living lies that kept me close to you
Lying is letting you go

Replay a miserable script full of words that I won't say
And I'm tired of trying to outrun a promise I should have never made
And I changed the locks so I could get through
The days and nights I never asked you

Can you know what's true?
Living lies that kept me close to you
Lying is letting you go on
Lying is letting you go
Can you know what's true?
If lying is leaving
Truth is just believing

Last night I came around to the truth whispered in my ear
In the light of day this sleight of hand romance is cold and crystal clear
So I waited long enough to show you
That I could change the way I know you

Can you know what's true?
Living lies that kept me close to you
Lying is letting you go on
Lying is letting you go
Can you know what's true?
If lying is leaving
If lying is leaving
Truth is just believing

Can you know what's true?
The regret in your eyes tells me there's nothing left to lose

Can you know what's true?
Living lies that kept me close to you
Lying is letting you go on
Lying is letting you go
Can you know what's true?
Lying is letting you go


4. GHOST

You threw it off the edge to the ocean
I never thought it'd drift back and climb up in
Into your hands and burrow inside your head
I couldn't stop it

Cold nights in a broken home
Long talks with the dial tone
Everywhere I go in the shadows, I see your ghost
Drowning in the silent seas
You said you would never leave
Everywhere I go in the shadows, I see your ghost
I see your ghost

I lost my step and fell to the bottom
Broke both my legs, you left me forgotten
Through the waves, I'm pulled into the depths
And I can't stop it

Cold nights in a broken home
Long talks with the dial tone
Everywhere I go in the shadows, I see your ghost
Drowning in the silent seas
You said you would never leave
Everywhere I go in the shadows, I see your ghost

No one can stop it
No one can stop it
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa
Drowning in the silents seas
You said you would never leave
Whoa whoa
I still see your ghost

I'm torn up, disgusted, that's what I get for always trusting
Give me your smile as you're stepping out, while spouting lies from your fucking mouth
You're a joke, they'll watch you choke, inches away from the end of the rope
Your sins will slowly plague you, until you die alone

Yeah, you're haunting yourself and not me
You have to live with it, you have to live with it
So say it again "stop attacking me"
You have to live with it, you have to live

No one can stop it
No one can stop it
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa

Cold nights in a broken home
Long talks with the dial tone
Everywhere I go in the shadows, I see your ghost
Drowning in the silent seas
You said you would never leave
Everywhere I go in the shadows, I see your ghost

No one can stop it
No one can stop it
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa
Drowning in the silents seas
You said you would never leave
Whoa whoa
I still see your ghost


5. AQUAMARINE

A ring in a box but not your dream
It's not a diamond, it's aquamarine
Your shocking look of self defeat
So desperate
I think of the place where you fooled me
Beside the tarmac you never came clean
I'm driving past the gruesome scene
I'll never forget this

I told you I wished that I was dead
My eyes wouldn't open up again
I can't believe I wasn't joking
Salt and lime I taste
The sickest thoughts I can't erase
These images won't stop provoking

You know you could
I wish you would

Fall on your knees and remove the sorrow
Return the piece of my heart you borrowed
Things you used to say
Could take the pain away
But now you're gone and we're falling faster
We're forgetting things that we used to master
Games we used to play
Could take the pain away

You packed your shit and went ahead
My mind and my soul were left for dead
I can't believe you weren't joking
Sweat rolls down my face
My bloody knuckles mark the stains
My throat is closing up, I'm choking

You know you could
(You know you could)
I wish you would
(I wish you...)

Fall on your knees and remove the sorrow
Return the piece of my heart you borrowed
Things you used to say
Could take the pain away
But now you're gone and we're falling faster
We're forgetting things that we used to master
Games we used to play
Could take the pain away

Same bed, we take no precautions
Emotions, regrets and revenge
The last step in killing the karma
It makes sense from where we've been
The same car same songs same motions
We hold hands, relive how we met
But no talk, no reconciliation
This train's already left
Did you think next April
You'd be even further away
Did you keep him faithful
How many nights did you lay awake
And even six years later
The dialogue, it stays the same
You're 2000 miles away
Betrayers never change

A ring in a box but not from me
It's still no diamond, it's aquamarine
You'll never find your place of peace
You'll always regret this

Fall on your knees and remove the sorrow
Return the piece of my heart you borrowed
Things you used to say
Could take the pain away
But now you're gone and we're falling faster
We're forgetting things that we used to master
Games we used to play
Could take the pain away


6. MIRROR BOX

Showed up, shot down, same day
Deep breaths, short steps, same way
Your house I know it's okay
I left but I wish I had
Stayed up, slow down, it's too late
I still had more to say
How much could my words weigh?
I left but I wish I had
Stayed the night, the night, the night, the night

A little bit broken I'm not the only one
A little bit desperate I'm not the only one
I've got a feeling that you feel the same
We got a sickness and we know its name
A little bit broken I'm not the only one

Old glass, new scene, same face
Bad blood, deep cut, same place
I just wanna be okay
You left but I wish you had
Stayed here, I can't see straight
I need to hear you say
We caused this hurricane
We're gone but I wish we had
Stayed the night, the night, the night, the night

A little bit broken I'm not the only one
A little bit desperate I'm not the only one
I've got a feeling that you feel the same
We got a sickness and we know its name
A little bit broken I'm not the only one

And in this moment, I need the past
You burned the bridge, I built a home in the ashes
Why should I forgive you?
It's been a long night, I've had enough
I made my bed in the dirt and the dust
I swear I never meant to
Stay the night, the night, the night, the night

A little bit broken I'm not the only one
A little bit desperate I'm not the only one
I've got a feeling that you feel the same
We got a sickness and we know its name
A little bit broken I'm not the only one

I'm broken but I'm not the only one


7. DEMONS

You've laid down the weapons
You still spread the disease
And now you make commitments
You couldn't possibly keep
You love playing the victim
You love the sympathy
And in your place of solace
There's never honesty

Something I need to tell them
Not that it would change their minds
You polished your reputation
They've never seen the other side

Take off your mask, your faded design
Break off the chains, your cross to bear
Shake off the demons left in your mind
You take them everywhere

You've got a cross on your forehead
You crave the people to see
How you can open up their vaults
With your skeleton key
Nothing that you could tell me
The past could never change my mind
You built up my expectations
And let me down every time

Take off your mask, your faded design
Break off the chains, your cross to bear
Shake off the demons left in your mind
You take them everywhere
Take off your mask, your faded design
Break off the chains, your cross to bear
Shake off the demons left in your mind
You take them everywhere

Last year you stole it
Was broken all possession
These words I'm reading
Paint a thousand pictures

Take off your mask you're hiding behind
Shake off the demons left in your mind
You take them everywhere

Take off your mask, your faded design
Break off the chains, your cross to bear
Shake off the demons left in your mind
You take them everywhere

Stop hiding
With your cross to bear
Shake off the demons left in your mind
You take them everywhere


8. THE AFTERGLOW

I can see the sunset just outside of your bedroom
I know it's too soon to let it go
Everything you said echoing in my head
Into the afterglow

Street lights swaying in the wind at night
The freeway's feeling like paradise
No, time won't change it
Can't erase it
It's a long drive home, we can pass the time
By counting all the stars and the satellites
No, time won't change it
Can't erase it
I wanted you to know...

I can see the sunset just outside of your bedroom
I know it's too soon to let it go
Everything you said echoing in my head
Into the afterglow
I remember that night like it was the first time
Two of us caught in the undertow
Everything you said echoing in my head
Back and forth into the afterglow

I took a beating last time we talked
Still adding up the cost of the cheap shots
No, time won't change it
Can't erase it
Now I'm carving our names in the table top
Heartbreak in a St. Louis parking lot
No, time won't change it
Can't erase it
I don't want you back
It's just that I wanted you to know...

I can see the sunset just outside of your bedroom
I know it's too soon to let it go
Everything you said echoing in my head
Into the afterglow
I remember that night like it was the first time
Two of us caught in the undertow
Everything you said echoing in my head
Back and forth into the afterglow

I don't want you back
It's just that I wanted you to know
You still run through my head
But I'm alright alone
(But I'm alright alone)

I can see the sunset just outside of your bedroom
I know it's too soon to let it go
Everything you said echoing in my head
Into the afterglow
I remember that night like it was the first time
Two of us caught in the undertow
Everything you said echoing in my head
Back and forth into the afterglow

Into the afterglow
Into the afterglow


9. CUT AND RUN

Lay down on my back
Knock me over like a heart attack
Lay down all my bets
Can't change it

Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run
Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run

I know mistakes are made
Took me over like a tidal wave
I know I won't be saved
And I can't change it

I don't feel anything anymore
One by one, things I've done come crashing down
But hell has an open door
And I can't change it

Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run
Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run

You said it's just what I needed
All the same places, all the same demons
You said it's just what I needed
All the same places, all the same demons

You said it's just what I needed
I never said that I listened to reasons
All the same places, all the same demons
All the same mistakes til my heart stops beating

Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run
Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run
Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run
Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run


10. SECRET'S SAFE

I dug myself out of my grave
A box of pine and dirt remain
And every insecurity I've left there with it
I laughed at every word you said
With sparking eyes, a handsome head
And confidence we'll perfect
The things you see are nothing like me

I'll leave it all behind and justify it just between you and me
I buried all the misery, but it's clawing back now
It's every move and everything you do
You'll never make me forget the things I've seen
I know my secret's safe with me

I took the stairs, I climbed so high
On every floor I told a lie
And at the top I tried to fly
But stayed here with you
The door keeps opening
It brings a gust of cold and crawling skin
I'm comfortable but I just sinned silently
And that's just like me

I'll leave it all behind and justify it just between you and me
I buried all the misery, but it's clawing back now
It's every way you move and everything you do
You'll never make me forget the things I've seen
I know my secret's safe with me

Fail me, spill me
Leave this mess behind
You may not have a lot to give
But I'll still take it
Make me, hate me
Bottle me up inside
It's better there than where I've been

A perfect heart I never was
I lied to everyone I loved
It made them love me even more
And made me hate myself

I'll leave it all behind and justify it just between you and me
I buried all the misery, but it's clawing back now
It's every way you move and everything you do
You'll never make me forget the things I've seen
I know my secret's safe with me


11. WHIPLASH

Late night, I try to focus on the blurred lights
Neon signs and my hands are freezing
Snow blind with my head down with the wind in my eyes
This icy road stares back
There's only so much hope when every place I go
Reminds me I'll never get back home
But there's no time, I look up into headlights
The screeching tires seem to call my name

I deserve this, it's all true
I'm burning up
Everything you said hit me like a car wreck

Face down on the cold ground
Slipping away as the past comes back
I'm face down on the cold ground
Slipping away as it fades to black

Whiplash, a thousand thoughts converge on impact
A cry for help
But there's no one left and the silence wins again
I'm barely breathing as they call my name

I deserve this, it's all true
I'm burning up
Everything you said hit me like a car wreck

Face down on the cold ground
Slipping away as the past comes back
I'm face down on the cold ground
Slipping away as it fades to black

But in the pouring rain
I never felt like that, you said you felt the same
Can't spend another day here
I keep looking back as you're looking away

Everything you said hit me like a car wreck
Everything-everything you said hit me like a car wreck
I'm no better than bad luck
Walk away while you can
Walk away while you can
Turn the page then nail the book shut
Just walk away while you can
Just walk away while you can
Just walk away

Face down on the cold ground
Slipping away as the past comes back
I'm face down on the cold ground
Slipping away as it fades to black

But in the pouring rain
I never felt like that, you said you felt the same
Can't spend another day here
I keep looking back as you're looking away

Just walk away while you can
Just walk away while you can


12. WAKE UP

I crossed over, I lost myself
I saw the light, I went to hell
But the devil never looked my way
Closed my eyes and I tried to remember
All the things that had brought us together here, here

Wake up, wake up, wake up
There's somebody calling, there's somebody calling
Wake up, wake up, wake up
There's somebody calling, there's somebody calling

From high above I heard the screams
Of emotionless machines who just see flatlines
Now I've lost my tomorrow
I paid the debt of the time I've been borrowing
Nothing can save me

Wake up, wake up, wake up
There's somebody calling, there's somebody calling
Wake up, wake up, wake up
There's somebody calling, there's somebody calling

Images are fading
There's nothing in the mirror
End is now, end is here
If you let me back in
Nothing would be different
End is here
Now all I am is a dead reflection

Wake up, wake up, wake up
There's somebody calling, there's somebody calling
All I am is a dead reflection
Wake up, wake up, wake up
There's somebody calling, there's somebody calling
All I am is a dead reflection

(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
Images are fading
There's nothing in the mirror
(There's somebody calling)
The end is now
(There's somebody calling)
The end is here
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
If you let me back in
I know nothing would be different
(There's somebody calling)
The end is here
(There's somebody calling)
All I am is a dead reflection
