sit and watch the world pass me by I'm more than just a burnt out star up in the sky living for the moments when your eyes dance in mine I've seen the glory if only from afar what if there's nothing to find I'll keep waiting don't want to go my whole just hesitating they're offering powers worth saving if the futures in front of us i wanna know why must these feelings die i wanna hold on and never let go of the times will there be you and i well that depends if we can learn to survive though the night they don't treat you right I'll hold you close to me i know that you're just as a afraid as i am the world like a mountain stood you down maybe we're the broken pieces of the puzzle this could be the best day that you've ever had i don't want to give up the fight so I'll be your patient don't wanna go my whole life waiting at a station where did we let go i guess i was wasted if those days are over now i wanna know will i be here next time i want to capture moments lost in the landslide i want to be your friend i want to live like i never will again can't pretend you say you don't wanna leave I'll hold you close till then oh don't you cry just don't say good bye I'll hold you close to me

Whistle blows at the edge of the factory We grind our bones until the damage is done When i was born a cloud of darkness hovered Now i am free from all it’s thorns I can face the coming on my own I’m not afraid I’m not afraid to die It’s a nowhere man's world we give it up to play the fool Were gonna end up all alone in a pile of gold I fear not unless the shadow grabs me Stay one step ahead of the man in black Where i am going there’s no trains coming back I’m not afraid I’m not afraid to die Redemption day i cannot speak All has come to claim their prize Grab the reins take it by the horns Anyway you toss the coin You're born to die (I’m loving life) Redemption day

Can’t help me girl I told you i’m indebted to the sea We got lost on the fortune Together we made harmonies in D I’ve lost concept of all time now On this endless train i ride I’ve lived enough lives to learn There's no secret to this life If you realize there's a fire in your eyes Stay young forever You don't have to leave it all behind It does get better I think it’s getting better all the time They tell you 're no good They say that it’s fake Why place your bets when there's nothing at stake Where will it get you this head full of lies You can stand in the wreckage and overcome your demise Can’t help the world No matter how displaced you might feel You were thrown into this rising tide With high hopes of being free With feelings so real you could chase them So you chased with wounded knee We found out the meaning Is one you have to see to believe What's in the air? It’s just so you can breath Stay young forever You're not in the desert And nothing is really as it seems And though i can't stand on my own I’m gonna go on with all that's left inside me If i must face this alone Then i hope you’ll keep me company It’s been a long winter It’s amazing we escaped certainty Oh tomorrow's coming I hope it'll be a good friend to me They say that you’re over they talk about death Life’s not a funeral nor is it a test Sometimes the pain will bring the light You can stand in the wreckage And return to life Stay young forever Don't give into the emptiness inside it will get better And you’ll get through the bad times Can’t help you girl Not gonna try and change you anyway You have chosen to kneel to This lovesick cabaret Now is the moment to make the best of everyday You don't have to cry no more I'm not chasing that high anymore I’ve been on that island before Been washed up on the shore Know how it goes You can try and pass this by But you cannot end the end of things You can try and live it all but girl you have to love thy enemies Oh you have to love thy enemies

Nothing 05:34
oh babe don't waste time on such little things you wanted to die the moment you realized you're not free farewell is only in the dreams you dream about now you walk an empty road looking for refuge where it's found nowhere to stay you held the world at bay what were we made to do was it just to stare into space so far to go we gone such a long way to never see the light of day there's a part of me that will never be found there's a part of you that's a portal to the ground they may never know what keeps us all from falling into nothing oh babe in final hours do not second guess with the time we have left we greet the emptiness is it the end of the line or the beginning of the next nowhere to stay you turned the pills away some call it suicide to leave the walls of this place we've traveled through lands of waste through love and through hate to never see the light of day there's a part of me that can't be foretold there's a part of you that was born to be sold they may never know what keeps us all from falling into nothing there's a part of me that wants to be free there's a part of you that drifts in-between they may never know what keeps us all from falling into nothing burn that calendar girl open yourself up to these unknown realms were on a abandoned ship and there's no captain at the helm you got the rest of the night to waste it on these mindless games it's only your destiny now you can smile through the pain you were born to be free

You and the world Must make an understanding Suffrage is lonely The high life is demanding more More and more Try to light the fire But you are just ignored I’m a native son Born here when the war was over You've been everywhere Seen the world through every hue I wanna know what I’ve always known Obsidian hangs from your necklace You know more bout the mysteries than you let on A change is gonna come You spoke into the sun Rose beyond the trees you were gone You hold the torch the door of the lost tomb All of your life been wearing a costume Before Before before before Our carriage wheels brought us straight to our deaths door You are awake Sleep with one eye open Don’t have to go your whole life Being broken You're a pioneer Starving eyes you hunt the mirror I’m a misplaced soul Grappling with the sacrifice i must bestow I wanna be what i became to be Burdens we carry Are not the things that define Our heart and soul Been the victims for so long now We can't remember what it is we fear I’m a wide eyed wanderer Searching high and low for sanctuary You’re a dying breed In the midst of all the growing weeds Don't believe in magic Got my heart so tragic Always wrestle my own Obsidian hangs from your necklace You stared into my eyes Deep into my soul The hours we begun you glistened like the blood Rose into the air and were gone I wanna find the road That leads us back to where we froze Like a hummingbird in flight We could just go go go

There’s something to the solitude Play a piano made of bone Where drifters go to drink a few Isn’t life just an endless poem In the shadows saw you standing there Holding close to yesterday's gold Nothing to show for it except this broken mold Burning heart can’t call it home We're all looking for something lost Intersecting like the lines of your palm Broken down where the four winds cross Till infinity we go round and round Am i in the 10th dimension Or just refugee in the underworld every face is a reflection Have i lived this in a dream before The last thing i need is another spirit now Just put on one of those old songs Don’t wanna wallow in the misery Just want to reflect on where I'm from You're never gonna die you know Just another chapter will unfold No exit to exodus The higher path’s an open road still feel like an outsider if you don't get burned you're never gonna learn maybe there's no downside it isn't hope if you think it's gone Was it vain Where we in vain People come and go I’ve loved you the same Amber blue Nothing is black or white Amber blue Life's not a two way mirror Were all making it up as we go Passing like strangers in the night A brand new start like criminal till infinity we go round and round Am i in the 10th dimension Or just a refugee in the underworld every face is a reflection Have i lived this in a dream before Am i in the 10th dimension

Armageddon 03:19
Everything is wrong Got my blinders on Change the station I’m tuning out Don’t want to hear What it's all about Jumping the platform Quitting the rat race Leaving this hi jinx No longer to have to feel out of place This is not my home Home is in my baby's arms This is my Armageddon I went to the right school Broke all the right rules Chased the dying dream Lost it all for the winning team I loved till my heart broke I walked down the same road As the people who came before Their footsteps just a metaphor This is not my home Home is in my baby's arms I’ve been in the dark now for too long Now I'm faded like photograph This is my Armageddon Need an alibi Just have these question why Don't know what lies beyond here But I'm not afraid to find out This is not my home Home is in my baby's arms I’ve been in the dark now for too long Now I'm faded like photograph This is my Armageddon

Look to the stars Know we're on this earth together Life goes as fast as those cars A blink than you're far away from where You first felt alive I’m a sad eyed soul Regret all that slipped through my fingers In moments I've known The entire cast of characters from where I first felt alive And in the end We are a reflection in the mirror Battle lines across our face every trail of every tear Has brought us to here You can’t find the light Looking in fields of darkness We used to have fun A warm gun was never our happiness Back then when we were free I can recall when everything used to seem together Tried to embrace it all Had the feeling it was getting better Back then when i was free And in the end Do we love what we have lost Is it a unfinished story Or the perfect ending to the plot That brought us to here I wanna know Where does the forgotten go One minute life's a highway The next your on some open road I don't wanna lose What is waiting to be born Hidden by a iron curtain Though my heart is always torn I won't forget every one of our footsteps When the winds of change are howling And the statues all have left Tonight as look out upon these years I know were all in the same boat Sailing to these new frontiers Back then Where we first found love Back then It’s what we're made of And in the end I hope the wounds have healed The past seems like a dream We all found out what is real What brought us to here Don't say goodbye I will see you in fond memories There is a place We can live and forever be Somewhere beyond
