Happy endings
05:26

you were a poster child
been gone away now for awhile
is your memory still stained
as the times go do you change
you let the bridge burn down
buried bones in bone dry ground
though the stone has no soul
you have to find that i'm told
and the world keeps getting clearer cant you see
the lines inside the tree
the things that you're really need
at happy endings we cried so endlessly
and though it's not our faults
we didn't fall
now you dangle in the abyss
you know you've taken a lot of hits girl
with your armor of flowers
you lay bleeding still empowered
and the day keeps getting nearer do you believe
the etchings of the sea
the things that you've never seen
at happy endings we cried so endlessly
and though it's not our faults
we wanted it all
and no one is watching
our kites turn to ash
in the blink of an eye
our doorway is past
whats done is done
the universe is full of things to come
beyond our vision is so out of reach
a million light years away
you feel trapped in paradise
grown disenchanted with the lights
your picture fades in your minds eye
you're sailing through uncharted skies
and you can reach out
and touch something higher than you
live for a moment
like your soul will continue on
whats done is done
wave the wand and speak the words unspoken yet
beyond our vision at our fingertips
a million light years away

Do the right thing
06:36
|

even though
your phoenix has flown
and the body count's growin
the earth's on a Ferris wheel
together we feel more alone
you make the perfect prey
worshiping kings for a day
nowhere to go but this broken home
find a secret hideaway
the choice is yours
do what you want
do what you want
do the right thing
you fade fast
no medicines last
there's no turnin round
on the highway
it's a death trap
no holdin back
no holdin back
today is the best day you"ll ever have
feeding sharks
like a tank you still march
down the streets of the new world
with the ash of a spark
and now your greatness has fell
down the steps of the palace
losing power you never had
the look of defeat in your eyes
bang the drum
your funeral's begun
you checked all your math
followed right ways
slippery slope
dose after dose
you're still comatose
holding red flags
it's the last dance
nothing to romance
nothing to romance
today is the best day you"ll ever have
and then it's gone
so if you feel enchained
you have every right to come undone
on my way down
watching my dreams burn up
wish i could stop the hurricane
please stand by for a message from outer space
you can cry but you can never get out of this place
we're on our own the future is ours to save
lifetime loan and they're coming to make sure you have paid
and throw you back in your cage
on my way down
watching my dreams burn up
wish i could stop the hurricane
if you had a dollar
for every time that it rained
you would be a rich man
wear the mark of Cain
if i had a dollar
for every time I've been fooled
i could buy the power
i could rule the world

a road with no name
03:59
|
|||
|
on the poison apple
got a bitter tongue
the smoke of cremated gods
in my lungs
heard talk of revival
but darling it never comes
it's so hard to wake up
when you're numb
life isn't a game
it will do you the same
the end is unclear
like a road with no name
empty bills in my pockets
devils drink in my hands
no one gives a dime
to a lost cause
they say ill rise from the wreckage
if i embrace the sinking sand
everything good comes
before the fall
life isn't a test
just a direction you missed
you gave it your all
but it was only your best
at the banquet table
the last supper in mind
everyone's a Judas
behind closed doors
portrayed these tales of betrayal
rusted knife in my back
the worlds gonna leave you
wanting more
feeling insane
need a cure for a bane
the end is unclear
like a road with no name
a freedomless slave

if you only knew
03:12
|

|
you wanna know why
you wanna know the reasons
we must die
the price isn't fair
id rather be chasing time with you
you're out where it's cold
reviving hearts that once were gold
stuck on a list
don't know why we do the things we do
if you only knew
you turned away
wont even let me cure your shame
found you were lost
the damage blinds your world view
we've got our whole lives
we can overcome the odds
here's to the good times
though our hopes are growing few
if you only knew
you better find time today
to reflect on your charades
you keep looking to the hills
though your signal's in the grave
you're a castaway's child
born unto this desert isle
you and i are one and the same
if you only knew

Savanna
05:43
|

|
little one
sounds inside your room
are just the wind
darkness holds the night
where time begins
in your dreaming state
although your mind
is still wide awake
life's a perilous road
we all must find a way to carry on
i don't need a zodiac killer
to show me how the stars are aligned
your afraid that you might lose
everything you stay here for
well you cannot keep the heart you will find
you got to break up
ditch the phony smile
learn to live a life so divine
you deserve a better view
it seems you thought you knew you
you'll get used to being wrong all the time
oh oh savanna
the world keeps closing in on you girl
you've seen your share of fallen heroes
your battle wounds they fade over time
you've grown accustomed to the pain
the powers that be will never change
go steadfast into the arms of the grind
you've got to hold on
find someone to hold onto
no future for a runaway bride
as scary as it seems
the future has no meaning
you alone control the way you're defined
oh oh savanna
the world keeps closing in on you girl
and now you have nostalgia in your eyes
better times they still walked away
judgement day is just another day
you have to free yourself
oh oh savanna
the world keeps closing in on you girl

tomorrow's ruins
04:52
|
|||
|
thought i knew what life was all about
tried to believe what i was told
there's hole in everybody's heart
a wound so deep it can't be sewn
i feel stuck in the middle
nothing really makes me feel at home
i feel like i have lived a 1000 years
I've got the scars to prove it
through the laughter and the tears
i promise you i'll die before i grow old
i wont let the weight of reeling years
crush my soul
i'm gonna try and stay young
if i knew then what i know now
I'd probably say knowledge is meaningless
if i could keep you from falling far away
i could even learn to jump through these hoops
i feel caught in a web now
it would be the death of me to try and break free
i feel like i have lived a 1000 years
the narrow road it led me into the hall of mirrors
and all the fleeting moments i couldn't let go
infinity seems hopeless as we wait the final blow
still i'm gonna try and stay young
i wont have anything to prove
they say i've had my fun
and now it's time to start anew
i know it's true
that forever comes too soon
I'll be waiting there for you
at tomorrow's ruins

what have I become
04:06
|
|||
|
i didn't ask to be born
i came into this life
kicking and screaming
i didn't wanna preform
to waste time on meaning
just sucks out the feeling
and woe is me
what have i done
i second guessed
all of my starting guns
no second chance
the end's begun
will i look back and say
what have i become
will i learn to dance in the storm
through the good and the bad
I've always been breathing
how did these patterns ever form
my harvest still gleaning
these lifetimes keep repeating
and damned am i
though dams give way
life's a beach until
the crash of a tidal wave
no second thoughts
no war is won
will i look back and say
what have i become
never cared about a name
i was a fire that never took flame
never found the love i gave
i wander though the fields
where we were slain
trying to pretend like
things stay the same
oh mercy me
got no faith in fate
all of the borderlines
start to evaporate
running out of time
the clock is spun
will i look back and say
what have i become
|

are you tired of running
or you just on the verge of running out
oh my mind goes in circles
somehow i always end up at your house
i know your bruised and breaking
i will treat you like porcelain i'll be true
sometimes i feel it's my dying hour
other times i feel born brand new
I'm just a wreck
take my chains off and nothing is left
living life though it's a mess
there's nowhere for me to turn but you
running out of things to jeopardize
see the world through your chameleon eyes
told myself I'd never walk again
your warm glow makes sweet of bitter end
i want to fall apart with you
until the morning comes
are you high as a spaceship
or are you pounding on the pavement
let me in
i know you're afraid of demons
with me you'll find safekeeping
i'll guard your heart
all this time i thought we were
just smoke inside the wind
turns out it's true
nowhere is our beckon call
we climbed the mountain
just to find these dunes
if no one else can break the chains
you and i must speed the change
oh and i want to fall apart with you
until the morning comes
cause i'm just a wreck
life flight and nothing is left
heart is bleeding and the wounds are undressed
there's nowhere to lay my head but you
running out of things to jeopardize
see the world through your chameleon eyes
told myself i'd never walk again
your warm glow makes sweet of bitter end
don't take your eyes off me
i'm just a wreck

magnetic feel
04:55
|
|||
|
lets not be wasted
lets start a band
not give into gray skies
or surrender our hands
we've already gone as far as you can
late to the rescue
no photographs
hands on the antidote trying to make it last
storms of the century fading so fast
according to the way that legends go
we've gone down every wrong road
there's no yield
we've been pointed directionless
cant undo this carnal flesh
there's no yield
magnetic fields they're all around us
we've all pushed the boundaries
till there's nothing left
looking in from the outside
only see what you've missed
both slave and master now caught in the drift
following the paths of fallen ones
we keep our eyes fixated on what we've done
where we don't belong at anyway
were making reservations with reservations
there's no yield
magnetic fields they're all around us
feeling like the well's run dry
the lowest lows and the highest highs
wont take you anywhere
it's a constant comprise
stay alive to take these bribes
why do you even care
chasing after ambiance
we're clinging to the falling comet's tail
there's no yield
magnetic fields
there's no yield
it's not our faults
that we are moving
in rotation keep on grooving
magnetic fields
there's no yield

russian roulette
04:59
|
|||
|
i wish i could summon you
when i'm feeling like i'm lost
there wasn't much that i could do
fell apart at 22 oh how it feels like yesterday
we were the only kids in town
with leaving on our minds
we couldn't play their ending game
and no one really felt our pain
but who were we anyway
and is this feeling in our heads
why must we go and play this Russian roulette
we try to dream in our death beds
but we just keep falling asleep
and now we're coming round the bend
oh we finally reached the end
let me walk you home
i wish i could turn back time
try to cure these youthful blues
though we come from different streets
we both were taught not to repeat
we still gave into the crushing force
now everything is just a concrete graveyard
feel so out of place with these phantom limbs on
we try to make the best
though the worst is yet to come
as we make our way down our descent
and is this feeling in our heads
why must we go and play this Russian roulette
we try to dream in our death beds
but we just keep falling asleep
and now we're coming round the bend
oh we finally reached the end
no longer have to play pretend
its all out in the open
i wish we'd chosen different paths
now we're as wasted as these days
pick up the pieces you have left
leave your regret at the sunset
there's nowhere to go from here
let me walk you home

every shade of blue
05:02
|
|||
|
feeling mortal at the masquerade
see the joker as the ace of spades
drown my sorrows in a cheap motel
just like heaven's turning into hell
maybe i'm on a losing streak
i cant even find the words to speak
i stop to read all the signs
like i'm lost in my mind
and i've been every shade of blue
the ghosts they make me think of you
silver spoon fed only lies
we just grew further from the truth
we're living fast we're living free
down a dead end avenue
tired of living but i don't want to die
the world keeps moving i'm a passerby
living like i'm living by the gun
now that the damage is done
maybe i'm on a losing streak
stumbling around a drunken sleep
i hope they're burning down Babylon
cause the magic is gone
and i've been every shade of blue
abandoned ship no pleasure cruise
i am looking in your eyes
just see lakes of blackened hue
we're in last place and dying hard
down a dead end avenue
no time today
to enter the haze
i've lost my way
fell asleep on the page
maybe i'm on a losing streak
getting rid of myself dirt cheap
i'm on the fence all the time
just a slave to design
and i've been every shade of blue
sun is vacant only moon
drop some poison in my cup
on a quest to find the truth
we're on this path no turning back
down a dead end avenue
