1. STANDING

Did you tell me
I'm supposed to live this life every single day
Can you take that
Believe with what I say and never give this up
Cause I won't give this up

I keep on thinking
I'm so damn new
I keep on thinking
I'm over you

We stood so tall
And you can't take this in
You'd wish we'd fall
And I won't let this in
We stood so tall
And you couldn't give in to what I'm thinking

Can't you see that
I believe in something more
Than what's been handed down
Can you take that
Believe with what I say and never give this up
Cause you wouldn't give this up

I keep on thinking
I'm so damn new
I keep on thinking
I'm over you

We stood so tall
And you can't take this in
You'd wish we'd fall
And I won't let this in
We stood so tall
And you couldn't give in to what I'm thinking

So tell me what you know
And I'll be here to show
You everything that I am
Come and see me

We stood so tall
And you can't take this in
You'd wish we'd fall
And I won't let this in
We stood so tall
And you couldn't give in to what I'm thinking

So tell me what you know


2. THE WAIT

Uncover the empty room
You lay beside me
I'm selfish in your eyes
Uncovered mistakes
Well I've waited for this chance to arrive in here

But I called you out
And you answered
I saw your side
And you answered
I called you out
And you answered
You answered sometimes

There's likely more reason
Reason in finding
That your line is L shaped
Uncovered mistakes
Well I've waited for this chance to arrive in here

But I called you out
And you answered
I saw your side
And you answered
I called you out
And you answered
You answered sometimes

Right
This is why
This all we were
This is what it came to
But you never did
You never did
This is why
This is what I am

Listen now, silent here

Cover your ears when I speak to you softly

Silent now

Cover your ears when I speak to you softly

This
Is
The
Wait


3. TIMING IS REASON

Call out
I'm sorry that I've had to say
Call out
I'm sorry that I couldn't stay the same as always
Always

This is my all
This time around
This is my all
We're finding out
Push over for another
We're finding out

I covered the ashes in here
I buried myself in you
Timing is reason
Breathing not sinking
The same as always
Always

This is my all
This time around
This is my all
We're finding out
Push over for another
We're finding out

Timing is reason

This is my all
This time around
This is my all
We're finding out
Push over for another
We're finding out

Timing is reason


4. NEXT IN LINE

I'm too tired
I can't sleep
I'm too down
I'm too weak
I've been burnt out here for way too long
Anything is everything
We're all the same here
Brought between this endless game of fear

But what did I do
And where did I go wrong
We're breaking down in here
What did I do
And where did I go wrong
We're breaking down

So I

Stand between this on end
We're giving in to this again
We've come this far to not back down
We won't let this sink in

Not now
Not then
Not now

We're coming over from this again
We're starting to push ourselves to the end
And if we try more just than we see
I'm sure to beat the odds with me

So let this replay

But what did I do
And where did I go wrong
We're breaking down in here
What did I do
And where did I go wrong
We're breaking down

So I

Stand between this on end
We're giving in to this again
We've come this far to not back down
We won't let this sink in

Not now
Not then
Not now


5. THIS PLACE

Lately I've been thinking
People like you and I
Should never ever be
Could never ever be
Amd lately it's been seeming
That we aren't one
Cause we're two ends of time
Two ends of time

Should we say goodbye
Should we leave this place
I wanted much more than this
I needed much more than the last time
Maybe this time is the last time for us
This time maybe next time
Is the last time for now

Quit cutting me down
Stop draining my self esteem
For what it's worth please
Could you do that for me
Cause you and I know
If we stay here alone
We're both going to bleed
Away from you
Away from me

Should we say goodbye
Should we leave this place
I wanted much more than this
I needed much more than the last time
Maybe this time is the last time for us
This time maybe next time
Is the last time for now

I wanted much more than this
What you say to me
What you say

It's what you say

Last time maybe this time
Is the last time for us
And this time maybe next time
Is the last time for us now

This is the last
This is the last time


6. DROWNING

Tell me what's your destination
Do you speak the truth like me
Tell me what's your destination
Do you want to live for free

I'm drowning in circles I
Feel everything
I'm drowning in circles I
Alone

And you speak answers that I can't hear
And you talk in voices you speak so clear
And you say you're sorry time again in here

I'm drowning in circles I
Feel everything
I'm drowning in circles I
Alone

I'm drowning in circles I
Feel everything
I'm drowning in circles
Alone

If something falls beneath this
If something comes about
If time keeps on wasting away with doubt
In this I speak my sorrows
In this I call my own
I'm going away from nothing
I'm finding my way back where I used to be
When all was safe and all was free
And now you're gone so I waste away
And now I find there's nothing left to say
To you

I'm drowning in circles I
I'm drowning in circles I
I'm drowning in circles I
I'm drowning in circles I
I'm drowning in circles I


7. SILENT REGRETS

Summer says it's getting cold
But I don't hear her
And winter's too long to grow old
It's so contagious here
Everyone and everything
All I do is just complain
I can't believe I've made it here this long

And I'm just contemplating why
I told you it all you said goodbye
And all I wanted was to say I'm sorry

Cause I have silent regrets for you
And I have silent regrets
Cause I have silent regrets for you
And I have silent regrets

I feel ill your thoughts seem cold
But you don't see me
Shattered words that you once sold
I'm falling apart in here
Another day another night
Still alone I stand and fight
These demons that we deal with everyday

And I'm just contemplating why
I told you it all you said goodbye
And all I wanted was to say I'm sorry
Can't you see there's so much more
Than the door you opened for
A chance to close and throw this all away

Cause I have silent regrets for you
And I have silent regrets
Cause I have silent regrets for you
And I have silent regrets

In me
You save yourself
Turning this reason and fighting all seasons
To save myself this time

Cause I have silent regrets for you
And I have silent regrets

Cause I have silent regrets for you
(That you can't see)
And I have silent regrets
(That I hold in me)
Cause I have silent regrets for you
(That you can't see)
And I have silent regrets
(That I hold in me)

You save yourself


8. YOU' RE BREAKING

I see you laughing and I see your smile
And I see you like to hide when you're in denial
You keep your cool when everyone's around
When you're alone you start to shake and break down

You're breaking
What you want
What you got
You know you're breaking
You're breaking
What you want
What you got
You know you're breaking

I might be wrong but I think you see the same
That we all have guilt and we look for someone to blame
I see you laughing and I see your smile
And I see you like to hide when you're in denial

You're breaking
What you want
What you got
You know you're breaking
You're breaking
What you want
What you got
You know you're breaking

Down around where all can see
I need you now don't give up on me
Down around what might have been
Don't give up now don't break again
Down around where all can see
Down around

You're breaking
What you want
What you got
You know you're breaking
You're breaking
What you want
What you got
You know you're breaking

Caving in
Giving up
You're breaking down
You're giving up
You're giving in
You're breaking down
You're giving up
You're breaking down
Down around


9. YOU PRETEND

Listen what the say about me
And watch how they act when I'm around
And listen what they about me
I try to talk but they just turn around

And it didn't take that long for me to notice
That all these people were me
And it didn't take that long for me to notice
How fake you could be

I am what you pretend to be everyday

Thank you for trying
But I'd rather walk away

Listen what the say about me
And watch how they act when I'm around
And listen what they about me
I try to talk but they just turn around

And it didn't take that long for me to notice
That all these people were me
No it didn't take that long for me to notice
How fake you could be

I am what you pretend to be everyday

Thank you for trying
But I'd rather walk away

I am what you pretend to be everyday
Thank you for trying
But I'd rather walk away


10. EMPTY PROMISES

Finding your reasons
You're finding your way back here
Finding your reasons
You're finding your reasons here

And it falls away
And you're hanging on
And it falls away
And you're hanging on

Carry on
I'll find you
I dreaming all
I am for you
I'm wishing I
Could be the one
I'm burning out
Before the sun

Cause I surround you
And everything
Cause I surround you
And everything

Dreaming lights
They always fade
I never know
When to pay
I'm wishing you
Believed in me
I'm hanging on
For eternity

Cause I surround you
And everything
Cause I surround you
And everything

Everything
Everything
Everything falls away
No
Everything
Everything
Everything falls away

Everything
Everything
Everything falls away
No
Everything
Everything
Everything falls away

Stop bringing me down

I knew that I gave to you
I was too much
Hide once more
I let this go
Right out the door
I was not for you
I would bleed for you
I believed in you
Cause I don't want to be alone
Without you
Cause I don't want to be alone


11. WHAT I DO

I can barely breathe
You're alone
With all these thoughts that I reflect on
And I keep to myself
I'm alone

All I do I

I've given you everything
That I had
And I

I know these games will pass
Pass me by

Do you speak without sound
Do you cry without tears
Do you keep it all inside of you
Do you know how much I've given
Do you know all that I've done before

All I do I

I've given you everything
That I had
And I

I know these games will pass
Pass me by

It's what I do
I do for you
It's what I do
I do for you
It's what I do
I do for you
It's what I

I've given you everything
That I had
And I

I know these games will pass
Pass me by

It's what I do
I do for you
It's what I do
It's what I do
I do for you
It's what I do


12. LAST SONG

This is all curious
How love will fall behind
These consequences
React on mind too

Thrown out
I am
I will realize
Thrown out
I am
I will realize

If we all just climbed out
To what you bring in me
Changing this all
What will we use to be

Thrown out
I am
I will realize
Realize
Thrown out
I am
I will realize
Realize

You will

You will

It's so much for you
This time
I did it all for you
This time
