Lyrics
1. WAKE THE DEAD (COMEBACK KID COVER)
This is our city of the dead
Another life holds its weary head
We hope, we try, we live, we lie
Counting days, trying to get by
Waiting for the calling
Anticipation in the air
We hope and dream of difference
City sleeping, unaware
Break the silence, wake the dead
Running through these streets alone
I'll kick and scream, let's break this hold
'Cause I swear, this won't render useless
I promised you, we've come this far
And I'm not stopping, I'm not stopping now
Enough hiding in shadows
Wake up, send out this message, it's clear
You said, you said, you said
This time was gonna be different
Wake up the dead
You said, you said, you said
This time was gonna be different
Wake up the dead
Coming alive
Something stirs inside
This isn't over yet
Shake off the dirt
Swallow regret
Stop living under the weight
Living under the weight of regret
Your regrets
Don't lose hope
Your regrets
Don't lose hope
Don't let it happen to you
Don't lose hope
Which side are you gonna choose?
'Cause I believe
I believe it's in you
Rise!
We said, we said, we said
This time was gonna be different
Wake up the dead
We said, we said, we said
This time was gonna be different
Wake up the dead
We said, we said, we said
This time was gonna be different
Wake up the dead
We said, we said, we said
This time was gonna be different
Wake up the dead
2. STARE AT THE SUN (THRICE COVER)
I sit here clutching useless lists,
Keys for doors that don't exist
I crack my teeth on pearls
I tear into the history
Show me what it means to me in
This world, yeah, in this world
'Cause I am due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
Till I understand or go blind
I see the parts but not the whole
I study saints and scholars both
No perfect plan unfurls
Do I trust my heart or just my mind
Why is truth so hard to find
In this world, yeah, in this world
'Cause I am due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
Till I understand or go blind
(Till I understand or go blind)
I know that there's a point I've missed
A shrine or stone I haven't kissed
A scar that never graced my wrist
A mirror that hasn't met my fist
But I can't help feeling like
I'm due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign (waiting for a sign)
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes (I won't close my eyes)
Due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
And I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
3. FIX YOU (COLDPLAY COVER)
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try then you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I
Well I have learned
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
4. BLISTER (JIMMY EAT WORLD COVER)
Take advantage of these times, you said
You let me down
It hasn't been the first time
As I'm falling in the pit of fire
My mind's made up
I'm never coming back here
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States
All alone
The West coast has been traumatized
And I think I'm the only one
Still alive
Is it just a coincidence
To see you by
Yourself with no direction
Now it's time to move on
And don't you know
That things aren't getting better
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States
All alone
The West coast has been traumatized
And I think I'm the only one
Still alive
When the world caves in
What are you going to do
When the world caves in
What are you going to do for me
When the world caves in
What are you going to do
When the world caves in
What are you going to do for me
Don't try and stop me
Because I'm falling fast
Into this pit of fire
Which surrounds us all
In a blanket of fear
That I've been wrapped in for years
Don't try and stop me
You cannot stop me
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States
All alone
The West coast has been traumatized
And I think I'm the only one
Still alive
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States
All alone
The West coast has been traumatized
And I think I'm the only one
Still alive
5. THE FAILSAFE (MISERY SIGNALS COVER)
Breaking dawn
Will bring revenge
We should know by now
We're so sick
It was building up
And no one was watching
We're running out of darkened corners
To sweep the waste into
In our distracted focus no one
No one had a chance
When we lined up at the edge
We were open wide
Like fools, waiting for a sign
It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation
Our backs against the wall
It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation
Down we go
As we all went blind
Like an answer to the call of our outstretched hands
The hell we beckon crept inside
The vultures circling overhead
Starving to pick the skeletons we leave
On the eve of the end
As the world around us collides (the ashes shall rain)
Somehow we still beg, we beg
Give us a sign
Dawn brings revenge
Dawn brings revenge
Patience won't mend the broken
Promise of something greater
The cables wrapped around our throat
Tonight pitch red cast over
Senses adrift, I lay me down
Plague wraps its arms around me
Down we go
It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation
Our backs against the wall
It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation
Down we go
When we lined up at the edge
We were open wide
Like fools, waiting for a sign
