One voice she hears
Taking control, leaving its mark... Agony Can't make her see it my way Restrict, you binge Lunatic fringe struggles within... Agony Losing her identity Helpless feeling, It's eating you Taking its toll You cannot give up again Crack the door and he'll let himself right in Rotten to the core, that grin Lose a little more, patience wearing thin When nothing else matters Tattered, shattered Abused, you are battered Scattered, shattered Know it's all messed up You cannot give up Wasting away, skin bruised and gray Falling apart... Agony Shut down more than yesterday The perfect you Now you're see through It's killing you... Agony No grasp of reality Helpless feeling, It's eating you Taking its toll You cannot give up again Crack the door and he'll let himself right in Rotten to the core, that grin Lose a little more, patience wearing thin When nothing else matters Tattered, shattered Abused, you are battered Scattered, shattered Know it's all messed up You cannot give up You cannot give up again Crack the door and he'll let himself right in Rotten to the core, that grin Lose a little more, patience wearing thin When nothing else matters Tattered, shattered Abused, you are battered Scattered, shattered Know it's all messed up You cannot give up 02. Undertow Music & lyrics by Matt Guillory
The waves crash over me
And there's no time to breathe I think I might be in too deep I don't know up from down Can't stop from spinnin' round No hope of landing on my feet Nowhere to go, Nowhere to go Nowhere to go, I'm stuck inside a nightmare When I'm scared an silently scream "no" My heart's beating fast but I'm moving slow Before I start sinking below You grab on and never let me go Don't let me go, Don't let me go When I need you the most You pull me out of the undertow But nine times out of ten I'll just fall in again And one would think that I would learn After all this time now Repeat the same mistakes Get trapped under the breaks And playin' with fire just gets me Gets me, Gets me burned Nowhere to go, Nowhere to go Nowhere to go, I'm stuck inside a nightmare When I'm scared an silently scream "no" My heart's beating fast but I'm moving slow Before I start sinking below You grab on and never let me go Don't let me go, Don't let me go When I need you the most You pull me out of the undertow Face down in the sand Think I understand now Seen my stubborn ways And it's time I give a damn When I'm scared an silently scream "no" My heart's beating fast but I'm moving slow Before I start sinking below You grab on and never let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go When I need you the most You pull me out of the undertow 03. Slight Of Hand Music & lyrics by Peter Wichers, Matt Guillory, James LaBrie
Turned a page, In my life
Thought it through, Wasn't easy to do Weighed the risks, Slight of hand If I miss, Then life's not worth a damn Too dark, to see, Too light, to feel One's fate, is sealed You're nothing but a Liar Don't try and change me Waste of time You'll never convince me I'll walk away a better man From something you don't understand Don't try to change me Waste my time You'll never convince me I'll walk away it's who I am I don't expect you'd understand On the list I've been made A high risk, Should have taken the fall Odds against, Won't survive No defense, End this once and for all Too dark, to see, Too light, to feel One's fate, is sealed You're nothing but a Liar Don't try and change me Waste of time You'll never convince me I'll walk away a better man From something you don't understand Don't try to change me Waste my time You'll never convince me I'll walk away it's who I am I don't expect you'd understand Let them try, All they want Come what may, I am through With the lies, and their ways Not the first, Who has tried Nor the last they will betray Don't try and change me Waste of time You'll never convince me I'll walk away a better man From something you don't understand Don't try to change me Waste my time You'll never convince me I'll walk away it's who I am I don't expect you'd understand Don't try and change me Waste of time You'll never convince me I'll walk away a better man From something you don't understand Don't try to change me Waste my time You'll never convince me Much better if I'm left alone And better to be on my own 04. Back On The Ground Music & lyrics by Matt Guillory
You're lost in outer space
And I don't mean to burst your balloon Put yourself in my place While you orbit around the moon You know I've tried my best You never gave me the time of day But now you're out of breath And heading 'cross the milky way Gotta get your feet, back on the ground Shake off the stardust, gotta get your feet Back on the ground, just not on venus Don't make it any worse Just throw it in reverse Come on come on Come on down to earth Gotta get your feet, back on the ground Back on the ground, back on the ground Riding a solar wind As you weave through saturn's rings You dig your heels in But that's not gonna solve a thing You know I've tried my best You never gave me a the time of day But now you're out of breath And heading 'cross the milky way No treactor beam To pull you here And break you through The atmosphere The vacant space between your ears Doesn't get it, Doesn't get it You know I've tried my best You never gave me the time of day Gotta get your feet, back on the ground Shake off the stardust, gotta get your feet Back on the ground, just not on venus Don't make it any worse Just throw it in reverse Come on come on Come on down to earth Gotta get your feet, back on the ground Back on the ground, back on the ground 05. I Got You Music & lyrics by Matt Guillory
Just me myself an I
I just don't get it right No matter what I try And I just want to run From what's about to come I can't keep hope alive When I veer so far off the course When I'm stuck and can't take anymore It's easy to forget When I'm scared half to death You never left my side I don't need stars I can wish upon And I don't need some magician with a magic wand That could wave just to make me strong Cause I got you I don't need stars I can wish upon And I don't need some magician with a magic wand That could wave just to make me strong Cause I got you When down and out of luck And things just don't add up When I just want to shout And wrong just feels so right Not always black or white Can't figure this thing out When I veer so far off of the course When I'm stuck and can't take anymore It's easy to forget When I'm confused at best You rid me of my doubts I don't need stars I can wish upon I don't need some magician with a magic wand That could wave just to make me strong Cause I got you I don't need stars I can wish upon And I don't need some magician with a magic wand That could wave just to make me strong Cause I got you When I veer so far off of the course When I'm stuck and can't take anymore It's easy to forget When I'm scared half to death You never left my side I don't need stars I can wish upon I don't need some magician with a magic wand That could wave just to make me strong Cause I got you I don't need stars I can wish upon And I don't need some magician with a magic wand That could wave just to make me strong Cause I got you 06. Holding On Music & lyrics by Matt Guillory
Sitting here, Silently
As you tear me down With your words, All night What went wrong You're not you And it's scaring me Am I hearing you right Like a house of Cards in the wind One big gust and We could cave in I don't want us Haunted by what might have been So I'm holding on Holding on, Holding on I just don't want to let go I'm holding on, Holding on, Holding on Cause deep down I already know We're close And there's no turning back once We're down that road I'm holding on, Holding on I'm holding on to you Three a.m., Half asleep On a beat up couch Praying that we'll pull through If I could, I'd go back And fix my mistakes All the things I can't undo Like a house of cards in the wind One big gust and, We could cave in I don't want us Haunted by what might have been Stop placing blame because Neither of us are perfect It's not complicated So don't analyze it to death So I'm holding on Holding on, Holding on I just don't want to let go I'm holding on, Holding on, Holding on Cause deep down I already know We're close And there's no turning back once We're down that road I'm holding on, Holding on I'm holding on to you 07. Lost In The Fire Music & lyrics by Peter Wichers, Niclas Lundin, Matt Guillory
Here we go again
A night filled with everything but sleep Trying to catch up to you Inside of this maze of one-way streets Every single turn, Seems our story burns But I won't accept defeat The flames might be growing high But I'm gonna stay and fight I'm not gonna run Bring it on and let's see the smoke rise We're not getting lost in the fire Guilt will fuel the pain And I won't get caught up in regrets Born, just let it all burn We'll get out alive with one last breath Let the battle rage, I am not afraid And I won't accept defeat The flames might be growing high But I'm gonna stay and fight I'm not gonna run Bring it on and let's see the smoke rise We're not getting lost in the fire By the skin of our teeth We'll survive in one piece If you hold on tight We can get through this If you'll believe The flames might be growing high But I'm gonna stay and fight I'm not gonna run Bring it on and let's see the smoke rise We're not getting lost in the fire But I'm gonna stay and fight I'm not gonna run Bring it on and let's see the smoke rise We're not getting lost in the fire 08. Letting Go Music & lyrics by Peter Wichers, Matt Guillory, James LaBrie
It's the same, All you see
Nothing's new, Time to aim Smash the mold, Break right through Right now you can't get by And even if you try You know that deep inside It's killing... you (it's killing... me) It's killing... you (it's killing... me) It's killing... you Letting go What's defining me, Letting go I can't make them believe or reason I can tell by your reaction You don't have my back I'm letting go, All that I am Know it fits, Rest assured It's enough, You admit Looking back, Was messed up What has become of me I'll take that chance, break free There's nothing here for me Stuck in a rut, I'm feelin stuck I'm feelin stuck Letting go, What's defining me, Letting go I can't make them believe, or reason I can tell by their reaction They don't have my back I'm letting go, All that I am I will survive, With or without you My head held high, With or without you Letting go, What's defining me, Letting go Getting harder to breathe, or willing I can tell by their reaction They don't have my back I'm letting go, All that I am Letting go, What's defining me, Letting go I can't make them believe, or reason I can tell by their reaction They don't have my back Letting go, All that I am 09. Destined To Burn Music & lyrics by Peter Wichers, Matt Guillory, James LaBrie
You've been taken
From all that You've ever known There's no question You're already on your own What's going on here What have we done Someting's wrong This can't be right Coffles and strangers Pushing further Beaten well into the night We cannot alter or change Gainst our will held in chains Difference in colour of skin Is my sin What gives them the right to Take away All I could've loved til my Dying day Is this bridge really destined to burn Pale skinned serpent There's no conscience eating you My sole purpose What God has done onto you What if the tables were reversed With all your rights taken away Suddenly perverse It's a nightmare No one's waking you today We cannot alter or change Gainst our will held in chains Difference in colour of skin Is my sin What gives them the right to Take away All I could've loved til my Dying day Is this bridge really destined to burn Shrouded in fear Morales reversed now Battered til the core to one's soul Lighter a shade You steal then you break Even one's own faith We cannot alter or change Gainst our will held in chains Difference in colour of skin Is my sin What gives them the right to Take away All I could've loved til my Dying day Is this bridge really destined to burn Destined to Burn, Destined to Burn 10. Say You're Still Mine Music & lyrics by Viktor Brunö, Tobias Gustavsson, Niclas Lundin, Michel Zitron
Looking away, Don't wanna see you crying
Cause I can feel it, There's no escape All of the lies are there If I could I would go back I would turn back the time But all I can say, I'll do what it takes from now Say you're still mine, That we're not broken in two Say you're still mine, Say it's me and you I never thought That I'd be so close to sinking It hurts to look in your eyes It cuts like a knife I know I've gone too far, Afraid I broke your heart But you're all that I want You're all that I need to go on Say you're still mine, That we're not broken in two Say you're still mine, Say it's me and you Cause without you, I'm dying, I'm dying I won't give up trying, Just say you're mine Say it's me and you Say you're still mine, That we're not broken in two Say you're still mine, Say it's me and you Say you're still mine, That we're not broken in two Say you're still mine, Say it's me and you 11. Amnesia Music & lyrics by Matt Guillory
Your cold voice, Locks me up
Like a prison cell, Desolate And devoid of light One day I will break free Like a convict would Scale a wall in the dead of night That's right Cause I've been trying to forget you Anyway, anyhow I never wanted some amnesia more than I do now So I can erase, The memories of A love that was never true So I could forget you You're a scene, In my head That's been on repeat I need a way to turn it off One day, I'll close my eyes And you won't be there because I will find a way to make it stop Cause I've been trying to forget you Anyway, anyhow I never wanted some amnesia more than I do now So I can erase, The memories of A love that was never true So I could forget you Nothing will be like it was before I'm not gonna need you anymore Done going through the revolving door The revolving door Cause I've been trying to forget you Anyway, anyhow I never wanted some amnesia more than I do now So I can erase, The memories of A love that was never true So I could forget you Cause I've been trying to forget you Anyway, anyhow I never wanted some amnesia more than I do now So I can erase, The memories of A love that was never true So I could forget you 12. I Will Not Break Music & lyrics by Peter Wichers, Matt Guillory, James LaBrie
Tightening its grip on me
My moral compass spinning Draining my live empty Give me something to believe in Wound up, I'm way too tight Fear tearing, wearing me thin And knowing it ain't right Give me something to believe in Wanna move on, gotta face the music There's only one way out Tired of stumbling Searching endlessly And giving in to more than doubt Let them take, All that they can Each one of them, I will not bend I ain't broke, They can't break me As I am, Not one of them These so called friends, They're a joke Headstrong your apathy Neurotic and quite nervous Obtuse propensity Still convinced it serves your purpose Lacking the sense to care Degrading and pubescent Discretion worse for wear Is this something to believe in Wanna move on, gotta face the music There's only one way out Tired of stumbling Searching endlessly And giving in to more than doubt Let them take, All that they can Each one of them, I will not bend I ain't broke, They can't break me As I am, Not one of them These so called friends, They're a joke Know I have to walk Have to walk away Never seemed to fit most of the time I'll be better off Better off this way And taking back what's mine Let them take, All that they can Each one of them, I will not bend I ain't broke, they can't break me As I am, not one of them These so called friends, they're a joke Let them take, All that they can Each one of them, I will not bend I ain't broke, they can't break me As I am, not one of them These so called friends, they're a joke ... 13. Unraveling Music & lyrics by Niclas Lundin, Matt Guillory
I know that look hidden in your eyes
I've seen it more than I dare to count tonight And I don't wanna fight It's like a storm heading straight for me The thunder rain and the lighting unleashed It's getting hard to breathe And at the break of dawn We'll search through the remains of broken hearts Are we losing everything, Cause underneath the veil We're two pages in a hopeless fairy tale unraveling I wanna speak but I hate the words I wanna cry but my tears come out as fire How do we break this curse When did our world start caving in We're crashing down in a violent spin and love is evaporating And at the break of dawn We'll search through the remains of broken hearts Are we losing everything, Cause underneath the veil We're two pages in a hopeless fairy tale unraveling We're like a ship sinking in slow motion How do we fix what can't be unbroken Don't really know but I'm slowly losing my faith, Losing my faith And at the break of dawn We'll search through the remains of broken hearts Are we losing everything Cause underneath the veil We're two pages in a hopeless fairy tale unraveling 14. Why Music & lyrics by Matt Guillory
New day, But the same routine
Is our engine almost, Running out of steam But we pretend that we don't see the ugly truth Crazy, That we drag this on When it's crystal clear, That the fire's gone There's nothing left but heavy scares for us to wear But here we are, Lost in the dark Drifting apart So tell me why, Why are we wasting our time Are we that scared of goodbye, That we'd rather Be living a lie, Tell me why Can't we move on with our lives If there ever was a chance Guess it disappeared Slipped through our hands It's come and gone ain't coming back Don't hold your breath Now we're, Just a masquerade Stuck in a make believe, Cause we're too afraid We're running from reality to a dead end So here we are, Lost in the dark Drifting part So tell me why, Why are we wasting our time Are we that scared of goodbye, That we'd rather Be living a lie, Tell me why Can't we move on with our lives How can we demagnetize Pull apart and break the ties for good Feels like it's impossible To walk away when I know that I should So tell me why, Why are we wasting our time Are we that scared of goodbye, That we'd rather Be living a lie, Tell me why Can't we move on with our lives So tell me why, Why are we wasting our time Are we that scared of goodbye, That we'd rather, Be living a lie, Tell me why Can't we move on with our lives |
