Lyrics

1. AMONG LIONS

Don't fall asleep, just stay awake for me

I remember the places we used to stand
Did I lose my grip where is your hand
I'm lost and I feel so alone
I'm not a prisoner of dreams
This dream is my home

Won't you stay awake
Won't you stay awake for me
Wake me up get me out of here
To a higher place, a hideaway
Won't you stay awake for me
Wake me up won't you wake me up

I spent so much time regretting a lie
A lie I told to myself
This is honesty, honestly I hope you believe
That I'm pushing away to see if you save me
Gotta find a way to wake up
But I feel like I'm gasping for air
Won't you bring me back

Stay awake for me, just stay awake for me

Won't you stay awake
Won't you stay awake for me
Wake me up get me out of here
To a higher place, a hideaway
Won't you stay awake for me
Wake me up won't you wake me up

Won't you stay awake
Won't you stay awake for me
Wake me up get me out of here
To a higher place, a hideaway
Won't you stay awake for me
Wake me up won't you wake me up


2. HERE'S TO TONIGHT

Shaking hands, perspiring towards
Something that you can't ignore
It haunts you, it brings you back
Not for the faint of heart
This is the hardest part
The choice was yours to make
It's so hard to fake who we really are

Who are we if we don't live up to what they demand
Maybe it's easier to just forget who I am

Just for a night, let it all go

Here's to tonight cuz nothing ever changes
When the sun goes down
And when we wake up you won't remember my name
Another dose of something so close
To being what you want me to be
Nah that ain't me

This is never who I was
It was only to make them think
That I became something better than myself

An extra shot of confidence
To push me just past common sense
Into the rush just short of breath
It's taking over with nothing left

Who are we if we don't live up to what they demand
Maybe it's easier to just forget who I am

Just for a night, let it all go

Here's to tonight cuz nothing ever changes
When the sun goes down
And when we wake up you won't remember my name
Another dose of something so close
To being what you want me to be
Nah that ain't me

Let go

Give me the feeling that I can do whatever
Despite all my doubting and wondering whether
I'll come out from this alive

Here's to tonight cuz nothing ever changes
When the sun goes down
And when we wake up you won't remember my name
Another dose of something so close
To being what you want me to be
Nah that ain't me


3. GEMINI (FT. JONNY CRAIG)

Are you so narrow minded that you never stopped to think
Two steps past this fleeting moment or what a life could mean
And you can't stand the thought that you were wrong
Blaming all those who were never at fault
Take a step aside and tip toe past lines
So rehearsed to convince yourself you are fine

If there was even a chance could you still bring yourself to turn away
Cold feet dripping ice into your veins
Is it second nature just to throw a guiltless life aside
You built yourself up, the pain still burns in your eyes

Where are you now
Was this not your home
Guess i'll step up and be the man that you never were
Can you stand to look in the mirror
Where are you now?
Are you alone?
You said you'd never leave
Tell me was it easy

So you mean to say that I only got in the way
Of your plans and dreams, your selfish schemes
You took this life for granted
But it was never yours to take
Point to the possibility of everything you took from me
I hope you know how it feels to be alone

You'll know what it is to be alone
Can you live with the mistakes you've made
Does it sting to think i'll never know your name
You're to blame

Where are you now
Was this not your home
Guess i'll step up and be the man that you never were
Can you stand to look in the mirror
Where are you now?
Are you alone?
You said you'd never leave
Tell me was it easy

Where are you now, how long has it been
Since you have heard my name
And how long will you treat this like a game
Where are you now
And what will it take
For it to go my way there's gotta be a better way

A better way
It's not your voice I'm looking for now
And these halls I pass
Never meant much with you around
I'm becoming something that you never will
Stop and take a look around
This ships not going down

But you're not around
You never even said goodbye

Where are you now
Was this not your home
Guess i'll step up and be the man that you never were
Can you stand to look in the mirror
Where are you now?
Are you alone?
You said you'd never leave
Tell me was it easy


4. HALF LIFE

I see your lips are the staircase to your soul
Now you're fighting your feelings
And fearing the shame that you sown
All the times that I blindly followed you
Can't believe that I never saw the truth
I don't know what to do

You locked your arms around my mouth
I don't know what to do, I think I'm turning blue
I scream and shout, tear my lungs out
I don't know what to do, I can't get over you

They tell you what you want to hear
To feed the attention you hold so dear
Tread lightly across these lines
Playing again and again in my mind

There's a painful progress building you up stone by stone
There's a certain satisfaction I watching you fall from your throne
So pardon me, avoid the possibility
Of unraveling the patchwork in the way that you think

Why can't I see the truth?
I don't know what to do

You locked your arms around my mouth
I don't know what to do, I think I'm turning blue
I scream and shout, tear my lungs out
I don't know what to do, I can't get over you

I'll sleep peacefully
Knowing I pierced your skin
Despite all your walls
I still found my way in

I'm not another fall out, boy did we try
I may be a notch in your bedpost
But your life is a lie

Why can't I see the truth?
I don't know what to do

You locked your arms around my mouth
I don't know what to do, I think I'm turning blue
I scream and shout, tear my lungs out
I don't know what to do, I can't get over you

Oh no, I don't know what to do
And I, I can't get over you

I'll tell you what you need to hear
So close your lips and listen, dear
I think it's time that I said goodbye
Play it again and again in your mind


5. CATALYST

Close your eyes, get a grip
You feel yourself start to slip
Losing ground before you even found your feet
The chance is knocking at your door
But you're still lying on the floor
It's time to stand up and fight for something more

You've set yourself up for failure
So don't be surprised when you fall down
If you don't have something to reach for
Then tell me, tell me what's the point of it all

Burning through time wasting your life
Falling short of the things that you admire
With all your hopes just out of touch
But the cost of those thoughts just seems too much

It's all in your hands
you just have to pull yourself up
Past the doubt that holds you down
You're struggling to make a sound
Keeping your time bottled
As if you have some control
With your life mapped out afraid of the unknown

You've set yourself up for failure
So don't be surprised when you fall down
If you don't have something to reach for
Then tell me, tell me what's the point of it all

They say for each step forward
You take three steps back
What's the point of progress with two feet in the past
With yourself this deep
There's only four left to go
To find your future still buried below

You've set yourself up for failure
So don't be surprised when you fall down
If you don't have something to reach for
Then tell me, tell me what's the point of it all


6. NOVELIST

I won't let this happen
I won't let you take that, take that away from me
You have a habit of holding me down
So I'm fighting, fighting to break free from your story

So many times I have held back to hear you turn and say
Put down those dreams and just stick with what's safe
So many times I let you choke this flame inside of me
But I've got this spark it's time to ignite, GO

Don't let me go, don't let me fall under
This current is pulling me in
We're only meant to drown in our own intentions
Don't let me go, don't let me fall apart

As we burn through the pages, notice that there's no room
No room between the lines

Just ink lost in time
If there's no meaning
Then leave every page blank
with the pen in my hand
I'll be the author of my fate

So many times I have held back to hear you turn and say
Put down those dreams and just stick with what's safe
So many times I let you choke this flame inside of me
But I've got this spark it's time to ignite, GO

Don't let me go, don't let me fall under
This current is pulling me in
We're only meant to drown in our own intentions
Don't let me go, don't let me fall apart

You held me back, you pushed me down
You watched me fall, why the hell do I keep you around?
Just give it up yeah

Don't let me go, don't let me fall under
This current is pulling me in
We're only meant to drown in our own intentions
Don't let me go, don't let me fall apart

Don't let me go, don't let me fall apart


7. HONOR OFFER (FT. MICHAEL SWANK)

I'm standing alone, in a room in a crowd
Is there anyone home am I speaking out loud?
Is this all just a dream why do I feel so removed
From myself, in your eyes, as I'm screaming at you

Sound off the radio, the radio
Your thoughts shine through the stereo
Give it up I see right through you
All along you thought that you could
Burn away from yesterday

Oh, can you feel the sweat?
As it drips down the edge of your consciousness
Regret is silenced with trembling fingertips
Rushing blood, and a flood of adrenaline
Something in the back of my head
Tells me it's not real
Are we bound to the concrete sense of taste, touch, and feel?
My head is pounding i can't even think
Is there something more, is this all you want from me?

Sound off the radio, the radio
Your thoughts shine through the stereo
Give it up i see right through you
All along you thought that you could
Burn away from yesterday

[Michael Swank]:
There's nothing left to say,
Just admit that you were just another fucking fake.
Give it up, you know I see right through you.
Well, I gave you my everything.
You knew that I expected nothing.
Taking advantage of me everyday,
No turning back now it's too fucking late

I hope you know you're a waste
I'll never look back
Most things i've faced in life
Made me stronger
But you only filled me with hate.

Sound off the radio, the radio
Your thoughts shine through the stereo
Give it up I see right through you
All along you thought that you could


8. FOX TALE

Looking for ways to keep myself focused
On the way that I want to exist
But it's a sad state of life to find
Hiding from the shadows in your mind

This only a game you play, to keep emotions out of the way
You've seen how this all comes down, you love the sight but you hate the sound

This is the only way to forget what we've lost

So I found an escape in your arms
Now I'm running away to forget where we are
I slip into your bed
To keep her out of my head

I find myself invested in a failing economy
Dealing lust over love
And sacrificing quality
The markets headed for a crash
With a foundation of glass

So won't you lie again
I really wish I could pretend
To pull myself from under
This means to an end

This is the only way to forget what we've lost

So I found an escape in your arms
Now I'm running away to forget where we are
I slip into your bed
To keep her out of my head

I am the one that haunts your dreams

Close the doors and hide from the light
But these thoughts wont rest with your eyes tonight

This is the only way to forget what we've lost

So I found an escape in your arms
Now I'm running away to forget where we are
I slip into your bed
To keep her out of my head


9. MISTWEAVER

I never thought that things could turn around so quickly
And never leave a trace of where we've been or where we're going

I think I've crossed the line this time,
A fantastic mistake to make us wonder why
We ever followed what they said
We should have chased our hearts instead

Broken stares, longing hearts
Moving along as we start, to ignore
These thoughts that keep us here
Hoping hands, reach so far
To find a way to begin
Baby why do we hold love in

Whispering words so softly into your lips
Hold this secret close to your chest before it slips
And fades away

Be sure to round up your reasons
While you deny the fact
You can never settle down
While your bags are still packed

Broken stares, longing hearts
Moving along as we start, to ignore
These thoughts that keep us here
Hoping hands, reach so far
To find a way to begin
Baby why do we hold love in

Now were alone, our feelings we cannot control
We've lost all our maps so darling where do we go?
How do we make it all ok, baby just tell me what to say
What's going through your head i just don't know and its killing me

I just need to know that this is real
You brought back something I lost in myself
I think i forgot how to feel
Please don't, just don't put me through hell

Don't say, baby don't say this was never my place
Just take my hand and come back to me

Broken stares, longing hearts
Moving along as we start, to ignore
These thoughts that keep us here
I don't know why we wait
To say what's on our minds
Why do we hold love in


10. HOURGLASS (FT. DILLON JONES)

You say, it's hard to say no.
These emotions that you hold, give you no control.
You're on auto pilot taking you where you need to go
but baby don't leave, I don't wanna let you go.

These thoughts go by so fast while,
we're dreaming of days that will never last.
I'll find my way back to this home we made,
it's like all of the things that I tried to say
just came out the wrong way, but I'll keep trying till you hear me.

What will it take?
What will it take to get your attention now?
It won't be long.
No it won't be long, baby I'll show you.
That if your heart speaks too, then Listen to what it's been saying to you.
What will it take to get your attention?
Baby it won't be long.

Looking back I never thought this through,
All the days that I spent with you,
Just ended up being a waste of our time.
It's like the clock ticks as we talk
And now we're just counting the minutes, as they pass by.

These thoughts go by so fast while,
We're dreaming of days that will never last.
I'll find my way back to this home we made,
It's like all of the things that I tried to say
Just came out the wrong way, but i'll keep trying till you hear me.

What will it take?
What will it take to get your attention now?
It won't be long.
No it won't be long, baby I'll show you.
That if your heart speaks too, then listen to what it's been saying to you.
What will it take to get your attention?
Baby it won't be long.

You got me all mixed up girl.
You got me all torn down.
But, I'll never run away from this true love I've found.
It won't be long
Until you see the things we can be
It won't be long
Before you start to think back and dream of me.
Baby I'm not wrong
I know you can, if we just believe
It won't be long
I can show you that I'm not wrong!

What will it take to get your attention?
Baby it won't be long.
But if you could learn to be patient.
I'll show you that I'm not wrong.
And I know your heart speaks too,
Just listen to what it's been saying to you.
If these words fall onto deaf ears then my heart beats for no one
