"You’re the reason that I stayed, did my time and dug my grave.
Left behind all that I’ve made, chose you over everything.
Cut me down and give me strength, beat me over choices made.
Hope is dead and times have changed, over time everyone strays.
(Baby)
Voice in your head, is it me? Is it someone in you?
Voice in your head, does it breathe? Breathe this life into you?
Voice in your head, is it me? Or am I gone without you?
Voice in your head, is it real? Is it good enough for you?
You take it, and swallow.
Everything I’ve done for you.
You’re the reason that I stayed, do you think you’d say the same?
Stand behind the life you made, or watch it burn and fade away.
(Baby)
You take it, and swallow.
Everything I’ve done for you, yeah.
You fake it, and borrow,
All these lies become the truth.
Is it good enough for you?"

"You're not a creature like me,
You need a real good lie to make you seem clean.
You wanna fuel this fire, and burn it up. You wanna know your mind, so make it up.
You wanna feel your youth, well here's the truth.
You're just a pawn that I use when I've gotta play this game,
When I'm done with you, I'll live my life like nothing's changed.
No I won't just go apologize when the tears swell up in your eyes,
Yeah you've gotta know, I lack control.
(Ooh) It's just a matter of time.
(Ooh) 'Til you're falling in line.
(Ooh) And you wanna break free.
Is it in your stride? Does it make you feel alive?
I'll never call this place home,
All the colours start fading to chrome.
Yeah, my point of view is getting worse,
When you live your life in reverse.
I just can't maintain, I've gone insane.
Feel alive, yeah.
Make me whole, need to feel your hurt baby.
Crave your soul, do you think you're worth it baby?
Is it in your stride? Do you make me feel alive?
(Ooh) It's just a matter of time.
(Ooh) 'Til you're falling behind, yeah.
(Ooh) And you wanna come clean."

"You wanted a monster so I built you a man. (Did you know?)
A son of a bastard with his own dirty hands. (Did you know?)
It’s this new age disaster that has stripped your mind clean. (Did you know?)
You think when it’s over it’ll be good for me, yeah.
Can you live at all with your heart gone, honey?
(Ooh, ooh) It’s the life you earned.
When you’re in need you’ll turn, yeah.
You tried to get better so you went to the start. (Did you know?)
You see I put you together but I left out one part, yeah.
Burn, burn, burn.
It’s just a part of me you’ve yet to learn.
You’ve yet to learn, when you’re in need you’ll turn. Yeah.
When you’re in need you’ll turn away."

"You saw my heart straight through my eyes.
I hid it years ago, but you saw right through my disguise.
I held your hand through all your lies.
Broke down these walls I’ve built, stumbled around ‘til you said.
Open wide,
I’ve got enough to keep you satisfied tonight.
And I wrote this letter when I died.
Retracing all your steps, everything you need to survive.
You saw them bury me alive,
They held their halos high, God held me down and told me,
Open wide,
I’ve got enough to keep you satisfied,
We’ll run until the sun burns out tonight.
I’ve got enough for you to justify your life.
You wanted me to beg. Forget, forgive, you said.
I wanted you inside my heart.
We watch the buildings fall, you’re one among us all.
I wanted you inside my heart.
You oughta know.
Baby won’t you."

"You walked along the dotted line, did you see it baby?
It slipped out from the hands of time, now you're stuck here waiting alone.
I'll be the best that I can be, did you know that baby?
It's never good enough for me.
What if you don't know where your life is gonna lead?
What if you don't know what your life is gonna be?
Baby just breathe, everything I do is for you now.
Can you not see everything I do is for you now.
Baby just breathe.
All my intentions were the best, I tried to humble gently.
Instead I got stuck in this mess you bring.
The road is long and has its' winds
Don't you know that baby?
We slid right through the sands of time
Now you're stuck here walking alone
Now I'm stuck here walking alone."

'Eleven years ago I was young and I was free,
A million points of view in a single part of me.
I searched my conscience through and decided that I’d see,
If I show my heart to you, would you give it back to me, yeah.
I lie awake at night, searching through my brain,
Decided what to do and exactly what to say.
But damn your heart so cold that you threw it all away.
I’m 23 years old baby, and nothing’s ever changed, yeah.
Don’t give me a reason,
To stop fighting and leave it.
All you’ve got is a feeling,
When one thing goes wrong, the rest ain’t worth leaving.
The seasons always change but to me there’s only two,
The ones that you’re away, and the ones that I’m with you.
Don’t hesitate to say you’re my black and I’m your blue,
You’re pushing me away baby, but I ain’t leaving you, yeah.
(Don’t give me it.)
(Don’t stop, yeah.)
(All you’ve got now baby, yeah.)"

Coward

"This is a call for help.
You’re reaching out to fall on nobody else.
And I thought that when you left, it swallowed you whole.
And it took all of my breath to leave it alone, yeah.
And you’re taking this one on as somebody else,
But you wanted this all gone for yourself.
You’re just a coward.
Oh, the lies they dig in deep, they cover your bones.
Is this consequence too steep? You are what you know, yeah.
Your son is crying on the phone, do you wanna come home?
Are you aware of what you’ve done? Has your ignorance grown, yeah.
Did you think that he would fall for somebody else?
No, you’re just a coward.
You need to see this on your own. It’s time to take this message home.
You said it once, you know it twice, you’re dead right to the bone.
So pay the price and sacrifice your heart for his on loan.
Go on and justify it, line ‘em up and judge them by it.
Lose the feeling, find new meaning, you’re dead and gone and no one’s grieving.
It’s time you let these feelings go.
You know you’re just a coward."

The Way You Are

"Wanna live your life like you’re underground?
Better hide yourself so you won’t be found.
Wanna hear them say that it ain’t your fault?
Give your heart a break, and tell me she’s the one you want.
Wanna lift the weight of all the world ‘til it’s in your hands?
Wanna stand alone and take the blame, yeah is that your plan?
When you turn around, you think they’ll say you’re a stand up man?
You’re the way, you’re the way you are.
Can you live your life if the truth comes out?
Can you sleep at night when you think about?
All the shit you say starts to break you down.
Give your head a shake and watch me as I wear your crown.
Do you walk the road with all your ghosts, like a ball and chain?
Leave behind the ones you love the most, just to live in vain.
(Ooh) Do you feel me in your life?
(Ooh) Cut me down and take my pride.
(Ooh) Oh, you say he gives you time, and you wait, and you wait, and you wait.
(Ooh) I ain’t standing here alone.
(Ooh) Think I care more than I show.
(Ooh) Oh, you think I’ll give you time, and you wait, and you wait, and you wait.
And you wait, and you wait, and you wait, and you wait."

Live It For Me

"I’m a liar, and I’ve let myself get inspired by the lies I’ve dealt.
And you lift me up, and you let me down.
Should I give it up? Or stick around.
It’s too late to discover your self-hatred.
Your life is exactly what you made it, so live it for me.
You’re the real, I’m the projection. Start to feel all the complication.
I’m not just a picture that you painted, your life is exactly what you made it.
You know just exactly who you are.
These cuts and burns will turn to scars.
I won’t stand and by your call to arms."

Set Me Free

'Savior of fairness, love and grief,
Yeah you watch me suffer and number my defeats.
Show me all that I could be,
Yeah then rip it out now and say it ain’t for me, yeah.
Now you know how far I’ll go,
Re-think everything you know,
Trust is made for us to break,
Greed was made for me to take.
Save me, from what won’t set me free, yeah.
You say it’s a test of time,
Oh I’m sick of waiting for what I deem as mine.
I’ve earned a seat among the kings,
All the things I’ve learned now, no they don’t mean a thing, yeah.
Drink until the well runs dry,
Fight until the day you die,
Learn from the mistakes they make,
Take it all and make your fate."

I.O.U.

"It's in yourself, forgive yourself, baby come on.
What's in your head, leave it for dead, blink and it's gone, yeah.
And the walls cave in, and everything starts fading around you.
Just lose your place, forget, erase, baby come on, yeah.
And you tell me that you are in love with me, but baby you're not.
You control yourself when you're around me, you know that you can't, yeah.
And you tell me that you're all about me, but baby you're not.
And you say you can't go on without me, but baby you're not.
Try to lose yourself when you're around me, I bet that you can't.
Don't abuse yourself when you're without me, I bet that you can't, yeah.
I.O.U.
I owe you everything."
