01. Oblivion

Came to me in the middle of the darkest night
I don't know if I was screaming or I got to hide
All my demons are closer
Lying blind but my eyes are open wide
From the darkness, to the light, to the place I die
Wake me up when it's over

I am off the edge and now I am somewhere in oblivion
And my walls are breaking through
Out of my head and now I am somewhere in oblivion
All because of you

Came to me, find the shadows to reset my mind
Right me up now I feel like I'm doing time
And I don't know her

I am off the edge and now I am somewhere in oblivion
And my walls are breaking through
Out of my head and now I am somewhere in oblivion
All because of you

I am off the edge and now I am somewhere in oblivion
And my walls are breaking through
Out of my head and now I am somewhere in oblivion
All because of you

02. Captain Love

Another lost cause
She's messing with a lot of things
She wants the applause
She's gonna give up everything... off we go
Into the wild and dangerous side
Been through a lot of pain... help
Another lost cause
She's messing with a lot of things, a lot of things and now she turns it up!

All night, we breakin' off
That's why, she calling captain love
I'm forty five but I'm 18 in the clutch
Woman, who you callin'? Captain love

Yea, I'll be your captain, we can't slow this thing down
She'll make your jaw drop
Despise the fashion but you wear the shoes
Don't let your heart stop
You'll be ready once you pay your dues
Into the wild and dangerous side
Where there's no one to blame
Another lost cause
We're messing with a lot of things, a lot of things and now we turning up!

All night, we breakin' off
That's why, she calling captain love
I'm forty five but I'm 18 in the clutch
Woman, she's calling captain love

It's not a lost cause
You know we all want everything
It's just some old laws
That keep us judging, breaking wings, but so what?
It's time to turn it up!

All night, we breakin' off
That's why, she calling captain love
I'm forty five but I'm 18 in the clutch
Woman, aren't you? Captain love
Calling captain love, o calling my number baby
Yea yea yea... they call me the captain
Woah woman, I'll be your captain on this ride

03. Hot Streak

How many people want more?
How many wanna be king?
How many lives would you die for?
How many bullets you bring?

You want to go, want to go
Want to go, want to go to battle?
You want to go, want to go
Want to go, want to go to battle?

I'll give you hell if you want some
You won't take nothing of mine
'Cause I'm the muscle to beat here
And I'm the gambling kind

You want to go, want to go, want to go
Want to go to battle?
And now we go, now we go, now we go
Now we go to battle

Warriors ain't decked in rhinestones
A gunslinger may be a loner
(Scat) I satellite where I wanna be
And then I let 'em chase me
'Cause I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I'm on a hot streak
Yeah, I'm on a hot streak
I'm on a hot streak, I'm on a, hot streak

So tell me do you feel lucky?
With your ace and your nine
I bet you feel like you own me
But I've been reading your mind

You want to go, want to go, want to go
Want to go to battle?
And now we go, now we go, now we go
Now we go to battle

Warriors ain't decked in rhinestones
A gunslinger may be a loner
(Scat) I satellite where I wanna be
And then I let 'em chase me
'Cause I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I'm on a hot streak
Yeah, I'm on a hot streak
I'm on a hot streak, hot streak

Yeah I'm on a hot streak now
I know you're aiming to take me out, I'm on a hot streak
I satellite where I wanna be, and then I let 'em chase me
'Cause I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I'm on a hot streak
Yeah, I'm on a hot streak
Hot streak, I'm on a, hot streak
Come on play me... I'm on a hot streak
I don't think it's gonna end... hot streak
Come on play me, what's your hand? Hot streak

I'm on a hot streak, I'm on a hot streak
I'm on a hot streak, baby, hot streak

04. How Long

Oh there's a bright sun been shinning
Since the day that I met you baby
All of the hard times and drama
That's been wearing me out is over

How long have I been waiting for someone like you?
How long have I been saying? we're everlasting truth

All of the worry I live with somehow
Found a way out of my mind
And all of the shadows that follow
Got lost in a flash of light... I know it's true

How long have I been waiting for someone like you?
How long will I be saying we're everlasting truth
How far can we take it? We both can't lose
How long have I been saying? we're everlasting truth

Just like a fever took over in my dreams
But this is real and it's been a long long long road

Into this life flipping me over
I've got no words, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know, if I can
Can I call you my love?

How long have I been waiting for someone like you?
How long will I be saying we're everlasting truth
How far can we take it? We both can't lose
How long have I been waiting for you?

05. Empire

(Tell me something)
Tell me something I'll believe
That you'll always stay with me
You and I forever we will be
(Tell me something)
That you're really what I see
Light up the night ignite my dreams
You give me hope and show me what life means

I still believe... I've learned a lot from you
Know when you leave this empire will fall to you
And I will follow through

(Tell me something)
That you'll never take me down
I'll carry you above the ground
I'm giving grace so you can wear my crown
(Tell me something)
You're the answer I have found
Everything is open now
And I'm surrendering to everything I ever thought of fighting over

I still believe... I've learned a lot from you
Know when you leave this empire will fall to you
And I will follow through

O' we made our life on trust and commitment
So we don't get lost along the way
This is our time, I know the search is over
This empire was made by you and me

(Now I'm wondering)
I'm wondering where it's gonna lead
Are we tied or are we free?
Heaven knows your power over me
(Now I'm wondering)
If you're trying to take me down
I don't know what I can do
Somehow I'm wondering, I'm wondering,
If this is still a safe place for my heart to be?
Would you lie to me?
Will you die for me when it's over?

I still believe... o' there's a lot to do
Know when you leave this empire will fall to you
And I will follow through... o' I owe it all to you
All that you see, this empire is all for you, and I will die for you

06. Fire

We're struggling with everything
And I don't understand who we are
Sometimes I wanna run from me
And find an end to it in your arms
Running dry, and I feel so numb
I could try (try) but I don't know what it's for

We are fire and nothing but ashes remain
We are fire and I don't know how to explain, do you?

Put me in a confessional
You won't learn anything you don't know
I'm fine with losing everything
Because I've got nowhere left to go
Yeah I'm wild, I'm the beginning to your end
Baby smile (smile) let's be lovers and pretend

We are fire, and ashes remain in our place
We are fire, we're nothing that time can't erase

In this portentous lie that is you and I
How do we secede?
I've got money on it, it's all a dream

Yeah I'm wild (wild) and I will not be tamed
(Wild) we are wild, who are we to blame

We are fire and ashes are all that remain
We are fire and I've got nothing left to claim
We are fire, I'm nothing but another face
(That you'll replace)
(We are fire) we're nothing that can't be replaced
(Can't be replaced)
(We are fire) yeah we laugh it off
Are you laughing with me?
(We are fire) or are you laughing at me?
(We are fire) but you know it's true, we are fire
I've got money on it, It's all a dream
It's all right we're surviving

07. Ghost Town

Slow me down, I'm all wired
I'm turning inside out, I wanna make this fever die
Ghost town, I'll start the fire
I walked one thousand miles, and I deserve my epic life

Ghost town let's pretend, you're not my dead end
Ghost town be my friend as I descend

Somewhere, I lost a pearl
I know my page has turned, I'll be the big fish in my world

Ghost town let's pretend, you're not my dead end
Ghost town be my friend as I descend

O' I can't shake the pain off... yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm the lion in the cage
There's nobody here to rescue me
Shoot the mud kill the pain boy
You're at the bottom of a dead sea

Ghost town let's pretend, you're not my dead end
Ghost town be my friend as I descend
O ghost town
I learned so much from you

08. The Bridge

Why do I feel like I know you?
I know where you wanna go
I've got new things to show you
You're prime, don't you wanna walk over water?
From morocco to Gibraltar, let's saunter

Rise, we all stand before the alter
You oughtta know, I ain't gonna let you falter
And when it's time to die
We're going right back where we started where we all did

Sing to me your lullabies
Share all your secrets with me
I'll bend to your hearts desire
Step with me, cross the bridge

Time, we all feel like we're chasing
And when you're feeling low, are you all into blaming?
Life, what's the meaning you created for your fortune?

Sing to me your lullabies
Share all your secrets with me
I'll bend to your hearts desire
Step with me, cross the bridge

Sing to me your lullabies
Share all your secrets with me
I'll bend to your hearts desire
Step with me, cross the bridge to the light
And see eternity in my eyes?
And for eternity you will be mine

09. War Machine

You've got philosophies but you never think
You wanna study me, you know it's gonna sting
Oh why are you setting me off?
Oh why are you putting me down?
Ain't you learned enough of me a to z, a to z
Hey, hey, hey, yeah

You stick the knife in me right before my eyes
And tell me "I didn't know, didn't know, didn't know"
I'm not afraid of you, maybe I oughtta be?
I saw a lover true, but you're nothing I've ever seen

You're finding a way to bury me in my mind
My own thoughts are a weapon to myself
Shattering my life

Look out my love, we're in a war machine
With us you know nothing is what it seems
And any victory is so bitter sweet
Look out my love, we're in a war machine

You stick the knife in me right before my eyes
And tell me "I didn't know, didn't know, didn't know"
Take away my life

Look out my love, we're in a war machine
With us you know nothing is what it seems
And any victory is so bitter sweet
We lost ourselves building a war machine
Is it a war machine we're building?
Is it a life with me you're willing?

10. Spiral

Snuff out my light
But I'm laughing now, I'm laughing now
You wanna fight
But I'm laughing loud, I'm laughing loud
You could be contrite
But you don't know how, you don't know how
Admit I'm right
But you don't know how, you don't know how

I've got a lot I'm working through, I never said I'm perfect
Because of the things that you do

I'm more than what you see
I know I'm not where I belong
High in this spiral spinning down down down
You know that something tells me
I'm somewhere that I don't belong
It's something viral and it's all around

My hands on my ears
While you scream it out, you scream it out
You've got the years
Why you screaming now? you're screaming now

I take all abuse from you, you never say you're sorry
You've got the floor, I've got the truth

I'm more than what you see
I know I'm not where I belong
High in this spiral spinning down down down
You know that something tells me
I'm somewhere I don't belong
It's something viral and it's all around

I'm in your bible, I'm your survivor
I've got a lot I'm working through
Why should I say I'm sorry?
Because of the things that you do
I'm gonna break your broken rules
Since you painted my heart blue

I'm more than what you see
I know I'm not where I belong
High in this spiral spinning down down down
You know that something tells me
I'm somewhere I don't belong
It's something viral and it's all around
All around, I'm in your bible
I'm in your bible, I'm in your bible
(And I don't belong)
In a spiral... is it viral?
And it's over

11. Devil You Know

I'm just as satisfied to let you be
But can you live within your skin?
I'll make you see the things you wanna see
Come tap my energy
I know you think nirvana's out of reach
But you'll thank me if you follow me
We'll open doors if we use my key... yeah yeah yeah

Circumstance came to be
Break your trance and depend on me

So if you're nothing at all you know I'm giving everything
Yeah I'm just the devil you know
If you answer the call I'll show you what tomorrow brings
Yeah I'm just the devil you know
If you're ready to soar you know I'm gonna give you wings
Yeah I'm just the devil you know
If you answer the call I'll show you what tomorrow brings
Yeah I'm just the devil you know

I'll bet you think you've got it sorted out
And you can make it on your own now
But when you're feeling like you're down and out
I will be waiting on your shoulder

Circumstance brought you here
Take a chance, I know what you fear

So if you're nothing at all you know I'm giving everything
Yeah I'm just the devil you know
If you answer the call I'll show you what tomorrow brings
Yeah I'm just the devil you know
If you're ready to soar you know I'm gonna give you wings
Yeah I'm just the devil you know
If you answer the call I'll show you what tomorrow brings
Yeah I'm just the devil you know

12. Think It Over

You know it ain't funny
I feel like the tides are changing
And I don't like the way it feels
I spent all my money
I tried so hard to keep you closer
But all you did was fight with me

I need time to think it over
I don't like what I see
She was mine but I don't know her
How many lies should I believe?

You tell me you love me
I don't know the meaning
And baby, neither do you
I showed you the good times
You gave me the hard line
And I fell for it, yeah you hooked me on
And I'm hanging by it

I need time to think it over
I don't like what I see
She was mine but I don't know her
How many lies should I believe?
If she gets cut somehow I bleed

I'm taking time to think it over
To find out what I really need
I've gotta try to take it slower
I am so lost, I should be giving up
But I'm trying to understand

You're saying you love me again
And putting the ring back on your hand
You smile because you think I'm a fool, and I am
You're standing on the corner
Down the street from the bar
You call me on the phone and tell me you're not that far
But you just miss my car
You're gonna be waiting for a while

I need time to think it over
'Cos I don't like what I see
You were mine but I don't know you anymore
I've got no lies to believe yeah
I've got no time for you and me
You got diamonds on ya
I've got pride
You've got everything, I'm all right
You've got friends to binge with, I've got time
It got tough for me, but I'll survive
(You know you're gonna feel so bad)
One day you're gonna face the fire
Somebody gonna do you like you've done to me
(One day you're gonna face the fire)
One day you're gonna face the fire
(It's gonna hurt ya)
Somebody's gonna bring you to your knees
(You're gonna be lost somewhere)
And I'll be blind

13. The Lamb

I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb
Lead me home, I am so lost
I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb

Look in my window, there's no one home
The fire's burning, but I'm so cold
The stormy weather caught me
The heat of summer's gone
Been hit by madness, the weight of stone

Am I on the right side of wrong?
Where do the survivors belong?

I need someone to lead me like a lamb
Down the path to the water
Are you gonna feed me from your hand?
I'm the lamb at the slaughter
Are you gonna bleed me till I'm dry?
Hide my eyes, like a martyr
I'm gonna let you lead me, here I am
I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb

I should be nervous, but you're so cool
A sudden taste of magic and I've got no control
Too high to stop it, too low to know

Am I on the right side of wrong?
Where the survivors belong

I need someone to lead me like a lamb
Down the path to the water
Are you gonna feed me from your hand?
I'm the lamb at the slaughter
Are you gonna bleed me till I'm dry?
Hide my eyes, like a martyr
I'm gonna let you lead me, here I am
I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb

So are you gonna lead me like a lamb
Down the path to the water
Are you gonna feed me from your hand?
I'm the lamb at the slaughter
Are you gonna bleed me till I'm dry?
Hide my eyes, like a martyr
I'm gonna let you lead me, here I am
I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb

I've got no focus baby
I'm like a lamb, you lead me where you want me to go
I'm in your hands, won't you lead me
Lead me, lead me to my home
Where the light is on, can you make me strong?
I'm over searching for meaning, ooh
What does it mean to you to me to them
To what whatever... whatever, ooh

I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb
I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb, I'm the lamb
