1. SALVATION

They say that life would be it’s hardest in your teenage years
Well, some of what they say is really true
They say that life will come and find you when your heart is new
I don’t believe it from the mouths of fools

So hang on, hang on

We got a million different ways to see our emotions
We got a million different ways to trick our heads to bring us down
We got a million different colors to see in the ocean
But every time I analyze it plays a trick upon my eyes I’m lost
I’m finding my way back to my dreams (Whoa)
I’m finding my way back to my dreams (Whoa)

Living in a world that only takes from you
Makes you want to give in and give up (Don’t give up)
But soon you realize that you are not alone
Innocence disguises what you love
So do what you love

We got a million different ways to see our emotions
We got a million different ways to trick our heads to bring us down
We got a million different colors to see in the ocean
But every time I analyze it plays a trick upon my eyes I’m lost
I’m finding my way back to my dreams (Whoa)
I’m finding my way back to my dreams (Whoa)

Hold on to the things that keep you young
Nothing lasts forever, gone is gone (‘Til we find our way)
Don’t be so hard on yourself
There will always be a chance to make it better
Things will get better

We got a million different ways to see our emotions
We got a million different ways to trick our heads to bring us down
We got a million different colors to see in the ocean
But every time I analyze it plays a trick upon my eyes I’m lost
I’m finding my way back to my dreams (Whoa)
I’m finding my way back to my dreams (Whoa)

I’m finding my way back to my dreams
Back to my dreams


2. REAP

No one said that this would be easy
I think we're past the point of achieving
Any common ground in believing
I've can work this out

I used to look to you for direction
That was before I saw the deception
That was hidden behind your eyes
That was just your empty pride

If you gain the world by trading your soul
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
Remember you'll reap just what you sow
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
There's no one left to save you now
You'll get what you deserve your own place in hell

Lost your way it made you change it made you dark
But once upon a time you spoke from the heart

If you gain the world by trading your soul
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
Remember you'll reap just what you sow
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
There's no one left to save you now
You'll get what you deserve your own place in hell

Blinded by big city lights
I'm not saving you tonight
I know that's what you live for
You'd rather die than end a fight
Rather suffer than be right
I know that's what you live for

I know that's what you live for...

If you gain the world by trading your soul
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
Remember you'll reap just what you sow
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
There's no one left to save you now
You'll get what you deserve your own place in hell

Your own place in hell.


3. WAKE ME UP

Time is in our heads and it is in our minds
Everything that has a start has a finish line
Do you ever sit and marvel at the stars in the sky?

When you dive into the ocean do you still feel small?
Do you dream that you were running at the pace of a crawl
Are you feeling like you might be getting sick of it all?

Wake me up
I don't wanna live without your love
Lift me up
Take me to a place up far above

Every second, every minute, every hour of life
Should be treated with the wonder in the eyes of a child
Anything can happen when you have to lie to survive

Gravity is bugging
I can't stop
So lift me up

Wake me up
I don't wanna live without your love
Lift me up
Take me to a place up far above

And nothing ever changes
(Nothing ever changes)
Its shape unless you change it
(Its shape unless you change it)
And there's no shame in trying
Because we're all already dying

Wake me up
I don't wanna live without your love

Wake me up
I don't wanna live without your love
Lift me up
Take me to a place up far above

Wake me up
(Everything that has a start has a finish line)
Wake me up
(Do you ever sit and marvel at the stars in the sky)
Lift me up
(Everything that has a start has a finish line)
Lift me up


4. AM I THE ENEMY?

In a world that is full of greed and pain
Where the politicians have free reign
To wear you down
This is what I've found

They will never lay a hand on us
They will never understand in what we trust
Is so much stronger, oh
I don't know if I'll make it
I don't know if I'll make it through

Is it all in my head, all in my head?
These memories gone bad
Don't turn away from your past
Am I the enemy
All in my head, all in my head
These memories gone bad
Don't turn away from your past
Am I the enemy

I'm reaching out to you
I have no doubt that you'll pull through
So take your place
This is a game we play

They will never lay a hand on us
They will never understand in what we trust
Is so much stronger, oh
I don't know if I'll make it
I don't know if I'll make it through

Is it all in my head, all in my head?
These memories gone bad
Don't turn away from your past
Am I the enemy
All in my head, all in my head
These memories gone bad
Don't turn away from your past
Am I the enemy
Am I the enemy
Am I the enemy

Sing with me
Sing, sing with me
Sing with me
Sing, sing with me
Sing with me
Sing, sing with me
Am I the enemy
Am I the enemy
Am I the enemy

Is it all in my head, all in my head?
These memories gone bad
Don't turn away from your past
Am I the enemy
Is it all in my head, all in my head?
These memories gone bad
Don't turn away from your past
Am I the enemy
Is it all in my head, all in my head?
These memories gone bad
Don't turn away from your past
Am I the enemy
Is it all in my head, all in my head?
These memories gone bad
Don't turn away from your past
Am I the enemy
Am I the enemy
Am I the enemy


5. DREAMS

One, Two
I don't know if I can take this back
Dug this hole way too deep (Wa-oh)
Feel like I'm heading towards a heart attack
I pray my soul to keep (Wah-Oh)

I feel like I am the only one out here who cares
Please prove me wrong.

Come on, Come on,
Send a message of hope
It seems, we're going no where
Come on come on
I can't carry this love (load?) alone
Will you prove me wrong?

Cause in my dreams it's you I see
I can't do this alone

So many times we're told to hold our tongues
Nobody wants the truth (Wa-oh)
This fire's burning out of our control
But we didn't light the fuse (Noooo)

I feel like I am the only one out here who cares
Please prove me wrong

Come on, Come on,
Send a message of hope
It seems, we're going no where
Come on come on
I can't carry this love (load?) alone
Will you prove me wrong?

Cause in my dreams, it's you I see
I can't do this alone

I'm not perfect, that I know
But I still fight, Not giving up
I’m not giving up (I can't do this on my own)
Maybe I'll find someone who knows
How to stand and fight
Not giving up
(I can't do this on my own)
I’m Not Giving up
(I can’t do this on my own)

Come on, Come on,
Send a message of hope
It seems, we're going no where
Come on come on
I can't carry this love (load?) alone
Will you prove me wrong?

Cause in my dreams it's you I see
In my dreams, it's you I see
I can't do this alone.

I can't do this alone
I can't do this alone
I can't do this alone


6. DIVE TOO DEEP

The clock at the table
Seems to enable me
To see the time that I have spent alone
Selfish is easy it's also completely free
But it's nothing if no one is there to share
All the good times all the bad times
Let me know
If I dive too deep
You'll pull me out
If I try to speak you'll hear me out
If I get to weak you'll hold me close
And tell me I'm fine
You know the worst lines come at the best times
And I know that I can be so difficult
But that's why I love you
There's nothing that I could do
Without you I am only miserable
All the good times all the bad times
Let me know
If I dive to deep
You'll pull me out
If I try to speak you'll hear me out
If I get to weak you'll hold me close
And tell me I'm fine
If I dive to deep
You'll pull me out
If I try to speak you'll hear me out
If I get to weak you'll hold me close
And tell me I'm fine
Tell me I'm fine
I'm your strength
We achieve
I know that you're the sun that's looking down
With all my heart I believe
If I dive to deep
You'll pull me out
If I try to speak you'll hear me out
If I get to weak you'll hold me close
And tell me I'm fine
If I dive to deep
You'll pull me out
If I try to speak you'll hear me out
If I get to weak you'll hold me close
And tell me I'm fine


7. WHERE ARE THE HEROES?

Where are the heroes!

It's dark out
The water falls to the ground
I shift gears
No one cares if I make it out
Brake light glare my blank stare tells what I'm about
Quitting is easy when no one's around

Late it's too late to get it right
Whenever I try
Red lights pass
My life flashes before my eyes
Late it's too late to get it right
When all I find are villains and zeros
Where are the heroes

I know you've been here before in your life
I came through
And now you're nowhere left in sight
Leaving is easy when no one's around

Late it's too late to get it right
Whenever I try
Red lights pass
My life flashes before my eyes
Late it's too late to get it right
When all I find are villains and zeros
Where are the heroes
Where are the heroes

Where are the
Where are the
Where are the heroes
Where are the
Where are the
Where are the heroes

Where are the heroes
Where are the heroes
Where are the heroes

Late it's too late to get it right
Whenever I try
Red lights pass
My life flashes before my eyes
Late it's too late to get it right
When all I find are villains and zeros
Where are the heroes
Where are the heroes

Where are the heroes
Villains and zeros
Where are the heroes


8. ANGEL IN DISGUISE

I know you can't hear me
But that does not mean
I don't want you to feel me, ooh ooh
It's just a matter of time
Til you are mine

Who am I? Who am I?
You say angels from the sky don't walk the earth, ooh
As time goes by, I realize
There's so much more than I could ever learn
You're an angel in disguise

Don't cry I'll be home soon
You know I want someone to be with you
It's just a matter of time
Til you are mine

Who am I? Who am I?
You say angels from the sky don't walk the earth, ooh
As time goes by, I realize
There's so much more than I could ever learn
You're an angel in disguise

And the truth is
I am scared all the time
I'm terrified
When I think of the world without her

Who am I? Who am I?
You say angels from the sky don't walk the earth, ooh
As time goes by, I realize
There's so much more than I could ever learn
You're an angel in disguise
[x2]


9. DON'T LOSE HOPE

I told myself
That I was wise
That I was strong
But realized
That I was much closer to wrong

Do you believe in a future you can change
Imagine everybody living for today

Don't lose hope!
Even though you can't see it I know
Things are getting better
Don't let go!
We are here with you; you're not alone!
Everyone needs time
So don't lose hope

You tell yourself
That you are weak
That you are so ugly
And you cry yourself to sleep each night
You're incomplete
But do you believe in a future you can change
(Lift up your eyes)
Lift up your eyes
And see that choice is linked to destiny

Don't lose hope!
Even though you can't see it I know
Things are getting better
Don't let go!
We are here with you; you're not alone!
Everyone needs time
So don't lose hope

In the darkness I feel blind
(In the darkness I feel blind)
Lead me back into the light
(Lead me back into the light)
In the darkness I feel blind
(In the darkness I feel blind)
Lead me back into the light
Ohh woahh oh

Don't lose hope!
Even though you can't see it I know
Things are getting better
Don't let go!
We are here with you; you're not alone!
Everyone needs time
So don't lose hope


10. FALL FROM GRACE

You're gonna fall! Flat on your face!

You've taken everything away
I never mattered any way
Just step aside and I will go
Before I do I wanna say

You're gonna fall, flat on your face
You're gonna fall, fall from grace
You were the only one that ever held me back
Self esteem was the only thing I lacked
What's done is done and it's not wrong for me to say
I hope you enjoy your fall from grace

You made my life a living hell
But even so I wish you well (I wish you well)
Cause I was raised better then that
Decency is what you lack

You're gonna fall flat on your face
You're gonna fall, fall from grace
You were the only one that ever held me back
Self esteem was the only thing I lacked
What's done is done and it's not wrong for me to say
I hope you enjoy your fall from grace

You were the only thing
You were the only thing
You were the only thing
You were the only thing

You were the only one that ever held me back
Self esteem was the only thing I lacked
What's done is done and it's not wrong for me to say
I hope you enjoy your fall from grace

You gonna fall! Flat on your face!
You gonna fall! Fall from grace


11. CHOKE

Look into my eyes
I am the one who you despise
Cause I exposed your lies
And it's my turn to watch you burn (to watch you burn)

I hope you choke
On the letters that you wrote
Telling me that you will be here 'til the end
You'll never see
A different side to me
A side that you just did not ever understand

Sing it like last time
With every line
Ends with a rhyme
You'll get great reviews
But I refuse to be reused (to be reused)

I hope you choke
On the promises you broke
Telling me that you would always be my friend
You'll never see
A different side to me
A side that you just did not ever understand

I hope you choke (on the messages you wrote)
I hope you choke (on the promises you broke)
I know you'll choke (on the messages you wrote)
I know you'll choke (I hope you'll choke)


12. REAP (RADIO EDIT)

No one said that this would be easy
I think we're past the point of achieving
Any common ground in believing
We can work this out

I used to look to you for direction
That was before I saw the deception
That was hidden behind your eyes
That was just your empty pride

If you gain the world by trading your soul
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
Remember you'll reap just what you sow
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
There's no one left to save you now
You'll get what you deserve, your own place in hell

Lost your way it made you change it made you dark
But once upon a time you spoke from the heart

If you gain the world by trading your soul
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
Remember you'll reap just what you sow
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
There's no one left to save you now
You'll get what you deserve, your own place in hell

Blinded by big city lights
I'm not saving you tonight
I know that's what you live for
You'd rather die than end a fight
Rather suffer than be right
I know that's what you live for
I know that's what you live for...

If you gain the world by trading your soul
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
Remember you'll reap just what you sow
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
There's no one left to save you now
You'll get what you deserve, your own place in hell

Your own place in hell.


13. FOREVER NUMB (BONUS TRACK)

I am not deaf, I just don't wanna listen
Everything you say sounds like it's wrapped in cellophane
If I can't break through the surface
And you are never gonna change
Everything is said and done
What have you become

I've held my breath for too long
Sweating bullets from my veins
It isn't me to feel so numb
And you are always gonna stay the same

I washed my hands clean
From the blood at your crime scene
Everything is said and done
Part of me's become
Forever numb

Staring at a space across the table
(I can see a ghost across the room)
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be able
To walk away
To better days
And you know I'm okay
Everything is said and done
What have you become

I've held my breath for too long
Sweating bullets from my veins
It isn't me to feel so numb
And you are always gonna stay the same

I washed my hands clean
From the blood at your crime scene
Everything is said and done
Part of me's become
Forever numb

You're gonna face everyone that you burned
(You're gonna face everyone that you burned)
You're gonna face everyone that you hurt
All of your excuses
And your sorry eyes
No, they won't get you by this time

I've held my breath for too long
Sweating bullets from my veins
It isn't me to feel so numb

I washed my hands clean
From the blood at your crime scene
Everything is said and done
Part of me's become
Forever numb

For too long sweating bullets from my veins (forever numb)
To feel so numb and you are always gonna stay the same

I washed my hands clean
From the blood at your crime scene
Everything is said and done
Part of me's become
If everything is said and done
What have you become
Forever numb


14. YOU GET ME HIGH (BONUS TRACK)

I don't need needles in my skin,
To satisfy this grin,
Oh all I'm craving is you
I don't need powder in my nose,
And thinking no one knows,
Oh but you know they do

Oh, yes you know that they do
Oh, yes you know that they do

You are the one who gets me high
And helps me shine down on everyone I meet
You are the one who gets me through
And I'll always be true, to you as long as you are to me

My girl don't need a diamond ring,
And many fancy things
Oh to know my loving is true
She can tell from the smile upon my face,
That there is no other place
That gets me higher it's true

Yeah, it gets me higher it's true
Yeah, it gets me higher it's true

You are the one who gets me high
And helps me shine down on everyone I meet
You are the one who gets me through
And I'll always be true, to you as long as you are to me

Oh, that gets me higher than you
Yeah, nothing gets me higher than you

You are the one who gets me high
And helps me shine down on everyone I meet
You are the one who gets me through
And I'll always be true, to you as long as you are to me

Oh, that gets me higher than you
Oh, that gets me higher than you
Yeah, nothing gets me higher than you
