01. Confessions

It's a constant remind
That even in absence of light
Some flowers still bloom in the night
That's how you stood out from the crowd
From the crowd

Stone after stone after stone, yeah
We build our walls
Trying to protect ourselves
From being vulnerable
Truth is you're only as strong
As the one you love
The one you love

It's like you knew your days were numbered
(Confessions)
And started counting every beat-beat of your heart
I only wish I could have told you
(Confessions)
That it's hurting much more now we are apart
(Confessions)
That it's hurting much more now we are apart
(Confessions)
That it's hurting much more now we are apart

You took your time
Got settled in
Made a home beneath my skin
I'll raise a glass
You did it with class
Made me believe that this could last

Time after time after time
I fell for your lies
Wishing the ground would just open
Take me alive
Took me this long to start over
And realize
You're death by design

It's like you knew your days were numbered
(Confessions)
And started counting every beat-beat of your heart
I only wish I could have told you
(Confessions)
That it's hurting much more now we are apart
(Confessions)
That it's hurting much more now we are apart
(Confessions)
That it's hurting much more now we are apart

If truth be told
Revenge is cold
And if I could
I'd dance in your blood

If truth be told
Revenge is cold
And if I could
I'd dance in your blood

It's like you knew your days were numbered
(Confessions)
And started counting every beat-beat of your heart
I only wish I could have told you
(Confessions)
That it's hurting much more now we are apart
(Confessions)
(That it's hurting much more now we are apart)
(Confessions)
(That it's hurting much more now we are apart)

02. It's A Shame

I'm sorry I can't be yours
If you just got here sooner
Things would be different
I know they would
(I know they would)

I can't reciprocate
I can't be anything
But if I could
You know I would
(You know I would)
(You know I would)
(You know I would)

It's a shame that I met you
Just as things got complicated
Spend the night while
I make up my mind
I can breathe when I'm with you
You've been what I have been through
You've seen inside of me
And made me believe
So dig the grave a bit wider, honey
Room for two when you're ready, baby
It's worth the wait when I'm with you
It's worth the wait when I'm with you
You've seen inside of me, yeah
Seen inside of me
It's worth the wait when I'm with you
It's worth the wait when I'm with you

Ok, I'm not ok
My pulse just hesitated
Thought of losing you
It ran me through
(Ran me through)

It's all up in the air
My hopes and dreams and cares
You did all you could
I knew you would
(I knew you would)

My head, my heart
It's tearing me apart
This hurricane
It's driving me insane

So help me now
(Help me now)
You gotta show me how
(Show me how)
My head, my heart
I knew you would

It's a shame that I met you
Just as things got complicated
Spend the night while
I make up my mind
I can breathe when I'm with you
You've been what I have been through
You've seen inside of me
And made me believe
So dig the grave a bit wider, honey
Room for two when you're ready
Make me believe
Make me believe
So dig the grave a bit wider, honey
Room for two when you're ready
Make me believe
Make me believe

Worth the wait when I'm with you
(Yeah-whoa)
When I'm with you
(Yeah-whoa)
With you
(Yeah-whoa)
It's worth the wait when I'm with you

With you
(Yeah-whoa)
When I'm with you
(Yeah-whoa)
With you
(Yeah-whoa)
It's worth the wait when I'm with you

It's a shame that I met you
Just as things got complicated
Spend the night while
I make up my mind
I can breathe when I'm with you
You've been what I have been through
You've seen inside of me
And made me believe
So dig the grave a bit wider, honey
Room for two when you're ready, baby
It's worth the wait when I'm with you
It's worth the wait when I'm with you
You've seen inside of me, yeah
Seen inside of me
It's worth the wait when I'm with you
It's worth the wait when I'm with you
When I'm with you

03. Start A War

A million times
I've tried to find
The string of words
That can finally set us free

But they're a grenade
Stuck between my teeth
Pull the pin
It could be the end of me

Risk it all for just one night (night)
To see those fists up in the sky (sky)
This city lives to fight
We're gravity defying, yeah
We're gravity defying

Oh, I know that you've been waiting
For me to start a war
And I know that you feel jaded, jaded
Because jaded is what you are
(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
Right now you're suffocating
It's time to cut the cord
(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
Oh, no need to be feeling jaded, jaded
We're taking back the world

(Night sky)
(Night sky)

Empires rise
Leaders are born
Behind your eyes
I see the perfect storm

There's prophecy
There's consequence
A little faith
Can make a difference

(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
Oh, I know that you've been waiting
For me to start a war
(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
And I know that you feel jaded, jaded
'Cause jaded is what you are
(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
Right now you're suffocating
It's time to cut the cord
(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
Oh, no need to be feeling jaded, jaded
We're taking back the world

(Oh-oh-oh)
You're on the edge of destiny
(Oh-oh-oh)
A chance to live out what you dream
(Oh-oh-oh)
It's time to get the message out
(Oh-oh-oh)
And sing it through the streets

(Oh-oh-oh)
This is not a fantasy
(Oh-oh-oh)
A chance to live out what you dream
It's time to get the message out
Everyone in every town
Sing it through the streets

(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
Oh, I know that you've been waiting
For me to start a war
(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
And I know that you feel jaded, jaded
'Cause jaded is what you are
(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
Right now you're suffocating
It's time to cut the cord
(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
Oh, no need to be feeling jaded, jaded
We're taking back the world

(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
You're on the edge of destiny
(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
A chance to live out what you dream
(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
It's time to get the message out
(Oh-oh-whoa-oh)
Because it's time to start a war

04. Falling

I'm not afraid to die anymore
People do it a thousand times a day
Try to separate the holy trinity
Performing surgery on your faith

Are you giving in?
(No-no-no, no-no-no)
Are you giving up?

Caught in a riptide
All out of grace
Waiting for miracles to break
You out of the madness
Couture and the fake
Pariah-Messiah
Change my fate
Forever
(I'm falling, falling, falling)
Falling forever
(I'm falling, falling)
(I'm falling, falling, falling)

Like a bolt of lightning, see me coming down
An avalanche from hell to heaven
Raise up your hands if you wanna try
Taking back your voice, kick a hole in sky

Caught in a riptide
All out of grace
Waiting for miracles to break
You out of the madness
Couture and the fake
Pariah-Messiah
Change my fate
Forever
(I'm falling, falling, falling)
Falling forever
(I'm falling, falling)
(I'm falling, falling, falling)

(Falling forever)

Caught in a riptide
All out of grace
Waiting for miracles to break
You out of the madness
Couture and the fake
Pariah-Messiah
Change my fate
Forever
(I'm falling, falling, falling)
Falling forever
(I'm falling, falling)
(I'm falling, falling, falling)

05. I Like It Rough

You're a divine intervention
A miracle of nature, yeah
You're everything that I want
But I want is gonna be
The death of me

(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Boom, boom, boom)

You're looking drop-dead fine tonight
There's no question about it
Don't know how much I can take
Before I lose it all
You make me feel like I
Mean nothing to you
'Cause that's the way that I like it
I like it rough

I like it rough
I like it rough

I'm a rockstar on a budget
Still I will treat you like royalty
But I could tell from the start
That my heart was gonna be
Your casualty

(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Boom, boom, boom)

You're looking drop-dead fine tonight
There's no question about it
Don't know how much I can take
Before I lose it all
You make me feel like I
Mean nothing to you
'Cause that's the way that I like it
I like it rough

All that you deserve
Is running through my blood
(Running through my blood)
And I'd sever every vein
Just to have you look at me
Look at me

You're looking drop-dead fine tonight
There's no question about it
Don't know how much I can take
Before I lose it all
You make me feel like I
Mean nothing to you
'Cause that's the way that I like it
I like it rough

(But I like it, I like it rough)
(But I like it, I like it rough)

06. Still Believe

Waking up all on my own
No missed calls are on my phone
Maybe I should take another drink
'Cause when it knocks me out
You're still in my dreams

I remember the hills in L.A.
And how you promised me, promised me
We'd go back someday
Wanna be there with you
Light 'em up with you

'Cause we would go (all night)
Not a moment wasted (all night)
Turn your headlights on (all I)
Wanted was the best and
(That's what I got)

I'm still believing
(Ah-ah-ah)
I still believe in you
(Ah-ah-ah, ah)
And even though you're gone
I'm not alone
Can't stop believing
(Ah-ah-ah)
I still believe in you
(Ah-ah-ah, ah)
And even though you're gone
You're not forgotten

We lived in places others only dreamed
And every photograph you took became a part of me
Please don't forget to listen
'Cause I'll stop existing

Do you remember the Stockholm nights
With you kissing me while I held on tight?
Can I come back to you?
Light 'em up with you

We would go (all night)
Not a moment wasted (all night)
Turn your headlights on (all I)
Wanted was the best and
(That's what I got)

I'm still believing
I still believe in you
And even though you're gone
I'm not alone
Can't stop believing
I still believe in you
And even though you're gone
You're not forgotten

One more night
You promised me
You promised me
Just one more night
You promised me
You promised me

So get up out your bed
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Remember what you said
(Remember)
'Cause I will be there waiting for you

I'm still believing
I still believe in you
And even though you're gone
(Though you're gone)
I'm not alone
(Not alone)
Can't stop believing
I still believe in you
(Yeah)
And even though you're gone
You're not forgotten

Yeah
Not forgotten
Oh, no
Not forgotten

07. Crystalize

Changes in the temperature
Indicate I must be dreaming
The vapor from your tongue
Twists in the cold air

As we play our wicked congregation
In the morning sun
(In the morning sun)
I'll admit I've been possessed
By what's underneath your perfect lungs

So silently you sleep
Unaware that soon I will

Crystalize
The surface of my heart is forming
Diamonds to protect your memory
Hypnotized
Forever I've been watching you
A voyeur to your imperfections

Mysterious shores
I'm feeling stranded here
But when it's with you
It feels like home

Shaking with anticipation
Kiss goodbye the dawn
I'll admit I've been possessed
By what's underneath
You're perfect

Crystalize
The surface of my heart is forming
Diamonds to protect your memory
Hypnotized
Forever I've been watching you
A voyeur to your imperfections

How I used to fight for the other side
How I used to call you a friend
But you inverted me like a crucifix
And fought me like a nemesis
So I made a promise to bring you back
Revive you from a heart attack
Now it's time to kill the beast in you
Let's see it through

Crystalize
(The other side)
The surface of my heart is forming
Diamonds to protect your memory
Hypnotized
(I need you, I need you)
Forever I've been watching you
A voyeur to your imperfections

Crystalize
Crystalize

08. Burn To Live

It's an illusion
How life is meant to be
Ideal and perfect?
You gotta be kidding me

Gimme a sign, sign, sign
At the borderline
Gimme a chance, chance, chance
To break that glass
Just say the word, word, word
And I'll make it burn
We're gonna go, go
I know we can make it

Yeah, tell me, where do we go from here?
It's time to face your fears
You've got to burn to live again
Burn to live again
Make them understand

Nothing can prepare you
For what's on the other side
I won't lie, it hurts like a bitch
But once you're through, it's time to ride

We're gonna ride, ride, ride
Till the daylight dies
And then we'll fight, fight, fight
Till the morning light
We're gonna go, go
I know we can make it
Go, go
Tell me, what are you waiting for?

Tell me, where do we go from here?
It's time to face your fears
You've got to burn to live again
Burn to live again
Make them understand

(Where do we go from here?)
(Tell me, where do we go from here?)

Tell me, what are you waiting for?

Yeah, tell me, where do we go from here?
It's time to face your fears
You've got to burn to live again
Burn to live again
Make them understand

Tell me, where do we go from here?
Yeah, tell me, where do we go from here?
Burn to live again
Burn to live again

09. Life Is Not A Map

I've got my head
In the clouds
But my hand in the fire
I wanna feel your warmth
But keep my distance
It's for your own good

Sometimes it's like torture to me
But sometimes I feel blessed
I've figured out my sacrifices
A way to pass your test

'Cause life is not a map
It's a road we must take, yeah, on our own
But I will meet you along the way
The light and dark both play a part
But you should never let them change
Who you are, where you're going down that road
But you should always stay the same

When you see me
Don't hold back
Because we might just have one day
I know you wanted so much more
But that's the price that we must pay, yeah

I confess each rule I break
Takes me closer to the edge
But 9 times out of 10 I know
I'd make the same mistake again

'Cause life is not a map
It's a road we must take, yeah, on our own
But I will meet you along the way
The light and dark both play a part
But you should never let them change
(Who you are)
Who you are, where you're going down that road
But you should always stay the same

Stay the same
(Oh-oh, whoa-oh, who you are)
Stay the same
(Oh-oh, whoa-oh, who you are)

'Cause life is not a map
It's a road we must take, yeah, on our own
But I will meet you along the way
The light and dark both play a part
But you should never let them change
(Who you are)
Who you are, where you're going down that road
But you should always stay the same
Stay the same

10. Russian Roulette

Somewhere deep inside of this town
Somewhere deep underground (ah-ah)
I hear a voice speak to the millions
Every little sin that you seek
And every vice that you need (ah-ah)
There's a taste to be injected

Directly into your veins
I'm like a fucking machine
Scream loud to go faster
Every little sin that you seek
And every vice that you need (ah-ah)
There's a taste to be injected

Russian roulette me
I think you got it
Oh, I think you got it all
Infiltrate me
I think you got it
Oh, I think you got it all
It's getting way too crowded around here
I'm addicted to danger, addicted to danger
Gonna lose it all
Russian roulette me
I think you got it
I think you got it

Apparently by having a dream
I've been causing a scene (ah-ah)
Knocked down but never knocked out
So come and get your piece of pie
Before it gets way too dry (ah-ah)
Find your voice, speak your addictions

I'd rather take the end of a gun (oh-oh-oh)
Before I silence these lungs
Shot down but I'm still breathing
'Cause music is infectious, you see
And I'm the fucking disease (ah-ah)
Prepare to be injected

Russian roulette me
I think you got it
Oh, I think you got it all
Infiltrate me
I think you got it
Oh, I think you got it all
It's getting way too crowded around here
I'm addicted to danger, addicted to danger
Gonna lose it all
Russian roulette me
I think you got it
I think you got it

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Listen to your heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Would you risk it all for love?
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Listen to your heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Would you risk it all for love?
Would you risk it all for love?
Would you risk it all for love?

Russian roulette me
I think you got it
Oh, I think you got it all
Infiltrate me
I think you got it
Oh, I think you got it all
It's getting way too crowded around here
I'm addicted to danger, addicted to danger
Gonna lose it all
Russian roulette me
I think you got it
I think you got it

I think you got it
I think you got it

11. Closure

Hey you, did you know this coming the first time?
It's like God threw us both in the same room
But then pulled the rug beneath my feet
All alone and left me there to bleed
It's like, like God stole the air out of this room

You stole my heart
And you beat it black
But I can't forget
Till I bring you back

I need a little bit of closure now
Something to get the ghosts out my head
'Cause we're living in a lonely world
Where no one stops to say, "Are you okay?"
Two different hearts, one soul
This world will eat you whole
I just wanna stop and say, "Are you okay?"

If I knew this would end, would I still have
Gave in and worshipped everything about you?
How am I to continue with my life
Knowing that I never said goodbye?
It's like, like God took you away from me too soon

You stole my heart
And you beat it black
But I can't forget
Till I bring you back

I need a little bit of closure now
Something to get the ghosts out my head
'Cause we're living in a lonely world
Where no one stops to say, "Are you okay?"
Two different hearts, one soul
This world will eat you whole
I just wanna stop and say, "Are you okay?"

Don't wanna open my eyes
'Cause I, I know that you'll be gone again
But I can't stay here (can't stay here)
Next to you, with you right by my side

I need a little bit of closure now
Something to get the ghosts out my head
'Cause we're living in a lonely world
Where no one stops to say, "Are you okay?"
Two different hearts, one soul
This world will eat you whole
I just wanna stop and say, "Are you okay?"

12. Halfway Down The Road

I thought I needed you
But I was wrong and now you feel it too
Now you're drinking alone, on your own
By the phone, waiting for a call
But they never do

It's a shame to waste
All the memories within this place
But you know what they say
If you stay you will pay
With more than just your dignity
It's all coming down

No guts, no glory
You want the rewards
But you ain't got the stomach
No pain, no gain
I waited for you
But you're not coming

Halfway down the road
You gave up on what you were owed
You pushed all your luck
But it wasn't enough
But you got halfway down the road
Halfway down the road

It's time to fade to black
Pour some out for the final act
Take a walk through the valley
But sadly it's gonna end badly
Like things always do
Like they always do

No guts, no glory
You want the rewards
But you ain't got the stomach
No pain, no gain
I waited for you
But you're not coming

Halfway down the road
You gave up on what you were owed
You pushed all your luck
But it wasn't enough
But you got halfway down the road
Halfway down the road

No guts, no glory
You want the rewards
But you ain't got the stomach
No pain, no gain
I waited for you
But you're not coming

Halfway down the road
You gave up on what you were owed
You pushed all your luck
But it wasn't enough
But you got halfway down the road
Halfway down the road

(Halfway down the road)
(Halfway down the road)
(Halfway down the road)
