Lessons Learned
03:54

Hit me up by 5 am out the door by half passed late
Slaving by the bell only I can tell
My day is yours to break
Half way done still miles to go
Just around another bend and turn
Only so much time to make you mine
But I’m ready to crash and burn
And I’m down and out
Don’t know where I’m going
But don’t have any doubt
All it takes a 3 (0) count
If I only knew what I know now
To stop me from bringing my own self down
I would’ve changed the world, I would’ve changed my mind
But I’m going down down down
I’ve taken a turn but only for the worse
Down and away it goes
No more chances no more lies
I’m still around yet no one knows
Forget this place, forget my face,
And the mysteries of tomorrow
You’ll think to yourself when I’m finally gone
He’ll be one tough act to follow
If I only knew what I know now
To stop me from bringing my own self down
I would’ve changed the world; I would’ve changed my mind
But I’m going down down down
To all the lessons that I have learned
To all the bridges I have burned
You would have changed your world
You would have changed your mind
But you’re going down down down

Empty Words
03:02
|

Watch your words run
I glance at the sun
Cause nothing ever really changes
"Follow the heart"
I give it a start
But then life just rearranges
Oh well
I'll break through your walls of ruse
If just to find some truth
Tell me speak now
Don’t understand how
Most words are overstated
Just walk in line
It'll be fine
Keep yourself locked up and gated
Minds ticking so fast
It’s like running on glass
In endless circles you created
I’ll break through your walls of ruse
If just to find
Questions to go with answers once known
When is my time?
Broke right through your words of ruse
Just had to find
Broke right through the walls of you
Just had to find the light

Fighting Myself
04:50
|
|||
I can’t call this place home
Am I stuck inside my mind?
Or forever alone?
I can’t help myself from trying
When I feel myself keep dying
Was this a lie, from the start?
When I’m here, I feel so safe, you know
I just can’t seem to go
Cause I’m running and hiding and spinning in circles again
Trying to cut lose, trying to fight off the bends
I’ve been lying and crying and fighting myself in my head
Because I don’t want to work and slave until I’m dead
You come riding by
Do you understand the feelings inside your mind?
Cause when you’re here I feel alive
Just put your hand inside of mine
And we’ll run carelessly
Seasons change and leaves turn dry
Time moves on; friends say goodbye
But we don’t fear a thing
Because I’d trade in the times
To be with you again
All I ever needed was a friend
Shake up the moment
Don’t think, just abide
Eventually you’ll see these things right
I want to take this opportunity
To point out the lack of unity
Between us when we sang
The time we spent counting the years
The laughs, the cries, the shouts, the cheers
Don’t mean a thing anymore
Because I don’t want to work or slave until I’m dead

Dead End
04:12
|
|||
Getting lost on dead end streets
Trying to find some way out
Some way out
Neon signs hang like reefs,
Seems like I’m still taking the wrong route
The wrong route
I’ll find some way
To fall so far away from here
I’ll find some way
To fall so far away from here
The same old faces all the time
Why is everybody so damn near?
So damn near
The same old reason, same old rhyme
To everyone else it seems so clear
It seems so clear
When it comes I’ll find some ordinary place to call my own
But it’s not home
When it comes I’ll find some ordinary girl to call my own
But she’s not home
Getting lost on dead end streets
Trying to find some way out
Some way out
I’ll find some way
To fall so far away from here
I’ll find some way
To fall so far away from here

The Strangers
04:27
|
|||
I’ll take my time.
The darkness is finally gone
And I’ll take my time
These shadows are what remain
A little taste of love won’t do any harm
And I’ll take my time but the months, they grow shorter
(You’ll never know of us or find the time)
These tricks up your sleeve, they won’t work on me any longer
(You’ll never know of us or find the time)
And I’ll take my time but don’t you waist all of mine
You’re not a quick one to forgive.
I started waiting for you to make your move
Storylines just set us free
Honey do you feel me?
I’m always at the wrong place
Staring at the wrong time
We were once the kings and queens
Now we’re just the strangers
I’ll take my time
I’ll only miss you when you’re gone
(You’ll never know of us or find the time)
Forever doesn’t mean, a thing to me anymore
(You’ll never know of us or find the time)
I know time is of the essence, but I’m still trying my best
And I can’t keep my eyes off of you
Yeah
Opportunity is knocking right in front of us
Time to take advantage; this life is calling us
Triggers at the ready
The countdown has begun
Don’t you false start now
It’s not our time to run
And I’ll take my time with your hand in mine
Running on down the line because we made it
But you know we gotta live and take what’s to give
Our time is not yet done
We’re just the strangers
The Strangers
The Strangers
The Strangers
Yeah [x4]
I started waiting for you to make your move
Storylines just set us free
Honey do you feel me? I’m always at the wrong place
Staring at the wrong time
We were once the kings and queens
Now we’re just the strangers [x2]
And I’ll take my time with your hand in mine
Running on down the line because we made it
But you know we gotta live and take what’s to give
Our time is now done

On Your Call
02:57
|
|||
Waiting at your doorstep
Staring at my phone
Waiting on your call
So when you think I’m here right now
(So when you think I’m here right now)
So when you think I’m here right now
I’m not at all
Driving down the highway
Been all by myself
With nobody else
And when you see me drive away
(And when you see me drive away)
And when you see me drive away
I hope you’re a mess
And it’s the same old game all the time
You always change the rules
And it’s the same old play all the time
You just don’t seem to lose
Hey, Yeah
Yeah I’m alright
Hey, Yeah
I just don’t want to fight

Lock Box
05:50
|
|||
I feel it passing slowly through me
Slowly turning the key into my locked vault
I see you as you’re gently sleeping
The memories I’m keeping are too good for you
So listen as I tell my story
It’s not written for me
It’s written for you
So listen. I’ll tell you a secret
Just promise not to keep it
I will forget you
You’re stubborn
You bully like a thug
Addictive like a drug
What are you trying to prove
I’m tired
Of lying to myself
Just me and no one else
What do I have left to lose?
Lose, yeah

Running Back to You
03:29
|
|||
I’m helpless
I’ve gotten less than that
I’ve gotten broken
Put back together
I’ve been thinking
Been seeing nothing
Nothing keeps on
Running forever
But you just pass me by
I wonder why I try
But when you ask, I’ll say
“Hell yeah, I’m alright”
Running back to you
When I just can’t seem to throw myself to something new
Something new
But when it comes
I find that I haven’t grown at all
I’ve hit the wall
Hit the wall
Falling down again
I’ve never been much for speaking
It’s too much of an endeavor
And I keep on repeating
Those words
“Don’t forget her”
Running back to you
When I just can’t seem to throw myself to something new
Something new
But when it comes
I find that I haven’t learned at all
I’ve hit the wall
Hit the wall
Falling down
I’m falling down
I’m falling down again

Free At Last
03:26
|
|||
We’ll keep fighting on like we did before
Now the fall won’t hurt you anymore
Listen close to the sound of summer time
We finally have the wind on our side
The same story goes on and on everyday
It’s old news now we’re gonna get away
Time keeps on bending
Our words never ending
We’ve altered our endings
We’re finally free at last

Never Surrender
05:18
|
|||
You don’t know what you’re up against
When you got the special ninety nine
The power has taken the offense
And being active is a crime
I can’t seem to get off my feet
I can’t seem to get off the street
Take the time to remember
What we’re all fighting for
Is this the right life?
Is this the right lie?
We’ll stand together as our lifeline
Take the time to remember
The men and women who will never surrender
Multiply it, Test to fight it,
Cause in the end we’ll have to will to fight it
Legislature running up and down
The pigs are watching from the wall
And when they’ve taken the green crown
They’ll paint it red inside the hall
My voice just never seemed so loud
Never seemed to jump the crowd
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh, oh
Hey, Yeah
Hey, Yeah

Motion Sickness
04:14
|
|||
Don't run and hide
from all the things
inside your mind
Forget it all
I used to sing
The songs for her
But now I see
Where I went wrong
Remember when the moon shined
Remember when the wind cried
Look past the island in the fog
The fog
The fog
The fog
We’re diving off the deep end
Staring at the bitter end
Not so long ago you called yourself a friend
Lay your weapons down
No need to sing aloud
Silence speaks volumes
These echoes have been dead for now
I’ll be damned if I start from the bottom again
Seem to have trouble, with you my friend
(Don’t find a reason why)
Running around in circles, again and again
(I can never tell)
I feel the motion sickness every now and then
(Oh how you remind me of my old self)
These echoes are dead for now
(These echoes, they’re dead for now)
These echoes are dead for now
(These echoes, they’re dead for now)
These echoes are dead for now
(These echoes, they’re dead for now)
These echoes are dead for now
(These echoes, they’re dead for now)
These echoes are dead for now
