Hounded by a feeling that I've known
Following everywhere I go

Falling ashes never done, turn to flame under the sun
Guilty for some crime

Gotta find a way to atone
Gotta find a way to atone
Trying to find a way to atone

Don't much care to be the other me
One that plays the role of enemy

Falling ashes never done, turn to flame under the sun
Running out of time

Gotta find a way to atone
Gotta find a way to atone
Trying to find a way to atone

Tenderly lay me down
Touch my facе and speak to me like a child
I want to bеlieve I'll never drown
Can ascend
No release or reprieve to be found

Now seldom seen on the run
Aren't both sides the wrong end of gun

Falling ashes never done, turn to flame under the sun, somehow crossed a line

Gotta find a way to atone
Gotta find a way to atone
Trying to find a way to atone

Why?

To be judged, stand and deliver
Half-starved, choke on the splinters
Have mercy can you be the giver
To speak my cursed name

Solemn drifter
You have your days
And all these wonders
Never took your pain away

Magnifiers turn your
Sunshine to hell
Time you leave this place
You know all so well

Brighten
Brighten

Better angels
But you don't pray
Push back on the darkness
In which you damn well like to play

Now you find yourself
In the same boat again
Going out alone on this ocean
Not if, but when

Brighten
Brighten
Only reap what you sow
Only reap what you sow

All your love has
Been gone to waste
Shine like starlight
Leading home from thе edge of space

Magnifiеrs turn your
Sunshine to hell
Time you leave this place
You know all so well

Brighten
Brighten

Only reap what you sow
Only reap what you sow
Only reap what you sow
Only reap what you sow

Brighten
Brighten

Wind up my key, I’m running down
There’s one damn need within this town
There’s somebody crying
Somebody dying
Feel like I’m wasting my time away

Come over me, upturn the frown
Oh, turn it up now

I'm finding out
Better with or without
Been looking out
Through a prism of doubt

I can’t believe how far we’ve come
Lighting a street like a midnight sun
Falling or flying
Gonna keep trying
Just wanna wake up another day

What sets you free, already found
Oh, turn it up now

I’m finding out
Better with or without
Been looking out
Through a prism of doubt

I’m finding out
Better with or without
Been looking out
Through a prism of doubt
Yeah, I’m finding out
Better with or without
Been looking out
Through a prism of doubt

Too many heads broke too many times
Tired of the same joke, tired of the grind
Coming down’s a bit low, harder to stay
Same punk in the mirror, different the day

I want to build something, something alive
Digging for a fossil suspended in time
I want to build something, something alive
Missing like a sunrise too cloudy to shine

Oh, here it comes
Equal to the sum
Oh, black hearts and evil done

Too many heads hung, too few can be
Tired of the lies spun in the land of the free
Sеlling out’s a mission, kneel, settle, assume
Samе crook in the White House respecting me and you

I want to build something, something alive
Digging for a fossil suspended in time
I want to build something, something alive
Missing like a sunrise too cloudy to shine

Oh, here it comes
Equal to the sum
Oh, black hearts and evil done

So many visions faded and slain
Slammed home in a prison, forgotten like the way
Comes a decision, break your heart in two, yeah
Out with the old stuff, in with the new

I want to build something, something alive
Digging for a fossil suspended in time
I want to build something, something alive
Missing like a sunrise too cloudy to shine

Oh, here it comes
Equal to the sum
Oh, black hearts and evil done

Cold night adrift in snow
No matter where I go
Seems I can only see green eyes
Calling a siren song out of time

Out here the lights hum low
And your return unknown
Still I can feel your lips on mine
Falling, indecision's hold on my mind

She don't lie she walks on
A passerby in a dream
You feel as though it'll never die

In my dark you are the light
Funny how the feeling never goes
When I'm wrong you are the right
Carry the memory in my soul

And when the day is done
Think on the things I've done
Holding a piece you left inside
Oh yeah, gonna have to last me till the end of line
Oh, end of the line

She don't lie she walks on
A passerby in a dream
You feel as though it'll never die

In my dark you are the light
Funny how the feeling never goes
When I'm wrong you are what's right
Carry the memory in my soul

In my dark you are the light
Carry you with me in my soul

Tonight I spilled myself on the floor, oh-ay
Admired the way you come through the door, oh-ay
Remember the precious look on your face
You measured the dose, acquired the taste

Keep on trying, questions firing, more than you bargained for
'Cause you really had to know

Tonight I left you with so much unsaid, oh-ayy
You brokered a deal alone in the bed, oh-ayy
It's no surprise, I've been here before
You're not the first to be one morе

Keep on trying, questions firing, more than you bargained for
'Causе you really had to know

Had to know
Had to know
We stand above a place to fall
We stand above a place to fall
We stand above a place to fall
Had to know

Keep on trying, questions firing, more than you bargained for (Bargained for)
Keep on trying, questions firing, block your way through the door (Block your way through the door)
Keep on trying, questions firing, spill myself on the floor (Spill myself on the floor)
'Cause you really had to know

Had to know
Had to know
We stand above a place to fall
We stand above a place to fall

Shedding light and standing to a draw
Jumping serpent into the belly raw
Paint chips cracking and flaking off the brain
That snap back and travel in the pain

Get out (Something inside you)
Get out (Living like I do)

Nobody breaks you like you and your heart
No one can write 'em no self-hating card
Don't hate the author who doctors a chart
Nobody breaks you like you and your heart

Guess who's crying and bringing lonely tones
Shipwreck's rising and there's no one at the bow
No small comfort taken with the news
It grows silent, fill yourself anew

Get out (Something inside you)
Get out (Living like I do)
Get out (Something inside you)
Get out (Living like I do)

Nobody breaks you like you and your heart
No one can write 'em no self-hating card
Don't hate the author who doctors a chart
Nobody breaks you like you and your heart

Nobody breaks you like you and your heart
No one can write 'em no self-hating card
Don't hate the author who doctors a chart
Nobody breaks you like you and your heart

Watch my stitches come unsewn
Another piece gone by the wayside
Remember, when I was oh so bright
Dismembered, is my head on right

I've been torn and I've been thrown
Held together by what will not die
Remember, I still can bring a smile
Dismembered, hold me a little while

Glass eyes and a lizard tail
Awarded in the time you're given
Don't look back
It's alright we all win and fail
Born and then you die
Between we have a life
So live it out

Automatic, nonstop static... so

Watch my stitches come unsewn
Another piece gone by the wayside
Remember, when you were oh so bright
Dismembered, is my head on right

Glass eyes and a lizard tail
Awarded in the time you're given
Don't look back
It's alright we all win and fail
Born and then you die
Between we have a life
Just live it out

Don't let it pass you by
Let it out, all of the shit inside
Live it out, don't let it pass you by
Let it out, all of the shit inside

Make it matter, don't look back
Just let it out

And now that it's all over
The birds can nest again
I'll only snow when the sun comes out
I'll shine only when it starts to rain

And if you want a drink
Just squeeze my hand
And wine will flow into the land
And feed my lambs

For I am a mirror
I can reflect the moon
I will write songs for you
I'll be your silver spoon

I'm sorry, I took your time
I am the poem that doesn't rhyme
Just turn back a page
I'll waste away, I'll waste away
I'll waste away, I'll waste away
I'll waste away, I'll waste away
