[Verse 1]
Feeling drob, like a slob
Never mind, here comes the mob
Feeling ragged, take a drag
Spoke too soon, no need to nag
[Prechorus]
I won’t let you shut my mind
Won’t let you keep my thoughts confined
Time to go, you’ve been so kind
Now don’t keep up, get left behind
[Chorus]
Tread softly, carry a big stick
Don’t ever let them know how you can tick
Take control, drain like a parasite
Your bark’s no worse than your bite
Condescend, call me a lunatic
Break reason with lies and shams and rhetoric
I’m done now, sick with all your violent slights
I like you better when you’re out of sight
[Verse 2]
Feeling stifled, filled with strife
Never mind, here comes the knife
Feeling trapped, worn and tapped
Guess I’ll just have to adapt
Plant the seed, and let it bleed
We both know who did the deed
Let it pass the hourglass
Now you’re not so upper class
[Chorus]
Tread softly, carry a big stick
Don’t ever let them know how you can tick
Take control, drain like a parasite
Your bark’s no worse than your bite
Condescend, call me a lunatic
Break reason with lies and shams and rhetoric
I’m done now, sick with all your violent slights
I like you better when you’re out of sight
[Bridge]
Control freak
Control freak
Control freak
Don’t push me
Don’t push me
Don’t push me
You know you can’t get out this time
Time will tell how you lose this time
You have no control for this time
Don’t forget how you lose this time
[Chorus]
Tread softly, carry a big stick
Don’t ever let them know how you can tick
Take control, drain like a parasite
Your bark’s no worse than your bite
Condescend, call me a lunatic
Break reason with lies and shams and rhetoric
I’m done now, sick with all your violent slights
I like you better when you’re out of sight

[Chorus]
You’re forever gone, won’t see another dawn
Your life I’ll carry on, your life I’ll carry on
Oh you were the question: Why’d it have to be this way?
The anger and frustration when an angel finds its place
[Verse 1]
No sleep for days on end
Cause I see you when I do
Memories my only friends
I’m haunted by thoughts of you
Free falling or falling free
Is it better to hope or know?
Light shot out, no I can’t see
Oh you left us black as snow
[Prechorus]
Why'd it have to be this way?
[Chorus]
You’re forever gone, won’t see another dawn
Your life I’ll carry on, your life I’ll carry on
Oh you were the question: Why’d it have to be this way?
The anger and frustration when an angel finds its place
[Verse 2]
Slip slipping into the dark
No I can’t bear the sight of you
Down the pills and hope it marks
The end of when you do too
[Prechorus]
Why'd it have to be this way?
Why’d you have to leave this way?
[Chorus]
You’re forever gone, won’t see another dawn
Your life I’ll carry on, your life I’ll carry on
Oh you were the question: Why’d it have to be this way?
The anger and frustration when an angel finds its place
[Breakdown]
You were the courage and the question
Why’d it have to be this way
The pain of burning heartbreak
When an angel finds its place
[Outro]
Oh why’d it have to be this way?
God, why’d it have to be this way?
An angel found its place, an angel found its way back home

[Intro]
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
You think you lost your love
Well, I saw her yesterday
It's you she's thinking of
And she told me what to say
[Prechorus]
She says she loves you
And you know that can't be bad
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad
[Verse 2]
She said you hurt her so
She almost lost her mind
But now she says she knows
You're not the hurting kind
[Prechorus]
She says she loves you
And you know that can't be bad
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad, ooh
[Chorus]
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
And with a love like that
You know you should be glad
[Verse]
You know it's up to you
I think it's only fair
Pride can hurt you too
Apologize to her
[Prechorus]
Because she loves you
And you know that can't be bad
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad, ooh
[Chorus]
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The Escape

|
[Verse 1]
When did we get so lost?
From now its been so long
Since I felt safe and song
The air is running down
I think I’m blacking out
The room is fading slow
[Chorus]
We’re trapped, we’re trapped so far in
We’re worn, we’re dangerously thin
If we stay, we may not make it
If we stay, we may not make it
We’re lost, we’re lost on our way
So far, so far from our place
If we stay, we may not make it
If we stay, we may not make it
[Verse 2]
Your eyes meet brief on mine
My heart is stopped in time
Ice fills my veins, and numbs my mind
You turn away and walk
I sink down like a rock
There’s no way back from this
[Chorus]
We’re trapped, we’re trapped so far in
We’re worn, we’re dangerously thin
If we stay, we may not make it
If we stay, we may not make it
We’re lost, we’re lost on our way
So far, so far from our place
If we stay, we may not make it
If we stay, we may not make it

Heaven, Home, Hell
03:00
|

|
[Verse 1]
I’m drifting
I’m sinking
Stuck shifting
My thinking
Head reeling
Yet somehow
No feeling
Just gray now
[Chorus]
I can’t keep saying all is well
You are my broken home, my heaven in the midst of hell
Rah!
Rah!
[Verse 2]
These days it seems like I’ve been going through the motions
Like every face I see is just a raindrop in the ocean
And every day’s a torrent, just another chance to drown
Uproot another flower now for my decaying crown
Or maybe I’m the flower, pulled from my stability
And you’re the solid ground that I’m so desperate to be
For everyone around me, but for now I am the flood
That pours into the forest ,pulling flowers from the mud
[Chorus]
Locked in a crumbling prison cell
Trapped down the bottom of the deepest, darkest, blackest well
I can’t keep saying all is well
You are my broken home, my heaven in the midst of hell
[Chorus]
Locked in a crumbling prison cell
Trapped down the bottom of the deepest, darkest, blackest well
I can’t keep saying all is well
You are my broken home, my heaven in the midst of hell
Rah!
Rah!

Machine

|
[Verse 1]
I am a ghost
I’m solid as air
Drifting around from one to another
I am a haunt
I am a machine
Remote and controlled
I take in words, and spit them out again
I am a fake
[Chorus]
They’re telling me I’m way too loud
They’re telling me I’m way too closed
They’re saying I should open up
They’re screaming I can’t hear a thing
They’re telling me I’m all messed up
They’re telling me I’m spiraling down
They’re saying I should open up
They’re screaming my name
[Verse 1]
I wish I knew how
To just shut me down
To open up the palisades I’ve locked myself inside
I am a shell
I wish I knew how
To just shut off
I’m running on exhaust but my brain is
In overdrive
[Chorus]
They’re telling me I’m way too loud
They’re telling me I’m way too closed
They’re saying I should open up
They’re screaming I can’t hear a thing
They’re telling me I’m all messed up
They’re telling me I’m spiraling down
They’re saying I should open up
They’re screaming my name
[Chorus]
They’re telling me I’m way too loud
They’re telling me I’m way too closed
They’re saying I should open up
They’re screaming I can’t hear a thing
They’re telling me I’m all messed up
They’re telling me I’m spiraling down
They’re saying I should open up
They’re screaming my name
[Outro]
I need to let in the ones I want
And let in the ones I need
Let in the risk of pain
And let someone learn my name
Let in the ones I want
Let in the ones I need
Let in the pouring rain
Wash my walls right down the drain

Break Your Heart

|
[Verse 1]
You look so good tonight
I really like your dress
Darling you smile so wide
You make me a mess
[Verse 2]
You look so good tonight
Perfect more or less
Sunlight you shine so bright
But there’s something to confess
[Prechorus]
We never were to happen
I’m sorry but it’s true, oh
[Chorus]
I never meant to break your heart
I never meant to make you cry
I never thought we’d crumble down,
Fall apart
I never thought we’d say goodbye,
Say goodbye
I never meant to break your heart
I never meant to make you cry
I never thought we’d crumble down,
Fall apart
I never thought we’d say goodbye,
Say goodbye

Picture Frame
03:40

|
[Verse 1]
I see us in the picture frame
Way back when things were not the same
We don’t know what would pass
We’re on the wrong side of the glass
You’re next to me
Dress colored like a cherry tree
I wish we still were friends
But all good things must have their ends
[Prechorus]
But then, I still miss you
It’s still my favorite picture
[Chorus]
Woah
(It’s still my favorite picture)
Woah
(The feeling makes me sicker)
Woah
(The feeling like flaming flickers)
Woah
(But it’s still my favorite picture)
[Verse 2]
You’re in the picture there
Far on the right with your short hair
It’s weak, but we still talk
Like friendship caught in writer’s block
You’re in that picture frame
Your dress of flowers after rain
Don’t know what we were then
But I will learn to feel again
[Prechorus]
But then, I still miss you
It’s still my favorite picture
[Chorus]
Woah
(It’s still my favorite picture)
Woah
(The feeling makes me sicker)
Woah
(The feeling like flaming flickers)
Woah
(But it’s still my favorite picture)
[Bridge]
There’s no repose, no last goodbye
(It’s still my favorite picture)
No looking back, no second try
(It’s still my favorite picture)
There’s no repose, no last goodbye
(It’s still my favorite picture)
The palisades are built too high
(It’s still my favorite picture)
[Chorus]
Woah
(It’s still my favorite picture)
Woah
(The feeling makes me sicker)
Woah
(The feeling like flaming flickers)
Woah
(But it’s still my favorite picture)

[Verse 1]
If I could steal away your pain
Or just a measure of the shame
I’d take it all and hold you tight
You know I’d make everything right
[Chorus]
Out of the blue, out of the blue
Where I found you
Parting from you is tearing in two,
Cutting through
Carried away, carried away
Be my airway
Here we can stay, or we can stray,
Roam with me
[Verse 2]
You can always roam with me
We’d share our stories and our dreams
We’d have adventures fit for kings
You’re the reason that I sing
[Chorus]
Out of the blue, out of the blue,
Where I found you
Parting from you is tearing in two,
Cutting through
Carried away, carried away
Be my airway
Here we can stay, or we can stray,
Roam with me
[Bridge]
Roam with me
Woah
Roam with me
Lost in the dark, lost in the dark, 'till I found you
[Chorus]
Out of the blue, out of the blue
Where I found you
Parting from you is tearing in two,
Cutting through
Carried away, carried away
Be my airway
Here we can stay, or we can stray,
Roam with me

When The Rain Falls
04:25
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Every night gets a little bit colder
There’s no more summer here
Every dawn brings a little more to shoulder
Another feat to fear
Every storm tells a story of an end
Each drop a eulogy
Every flash brings a vision of a friend
Then thunder cuts it free
[Prechorus]
Imprisoned here
Stuck in my head
I can’t stay here
[Chorus]
I need you here, I’m not okay
(When the rain falls)
I just can’t keep the dark at bay
(When the pain crawls)
You told me it’s okay to cry
But right now I’m too scared to try
I know that I have
Too much left to lose
Someday again you I will see
(When the train ‘rives)
Promise you’ll come back for me
(If our will survives)
Tell me you won’t let me fall
The truth just makes me feel so small
I know that you have
Too much left to lose on me
[Verse 2]
Now the time passes quicker than it comes
It’s wasting me away
My enemy is my loneliness
The silence makes me fray
Every day makes it harder just to want more
It’s hopeless anyway
But then the rain comes and washes me ashore
And then I see your face
[Prechorus]
I’ve feared the dark
I’ve called the light
But not now,
I give up the fight
[Chorus]
I need you here, I’m not okay
(When the rain falls)
I just can’t keep the dark at bay
(When the pain crawls)
You told me it’s okay to cry
But right now I’m too scared to try
I know that I have
Too much left to lose
Someday again you I will see
(When the train ‘rives)
Promise you’ll come back for me
(If our will survives)
Tell me you won’t let me fall
The truth just makes me feel so small
I know that you have
Too much left to lose on me
[Bridge]
There’s no repose, no last goodbye
(When the rain falls)
No looking back, no second try
(When the rain falls)
There’s no repose, no last goodbye
(When the rain falls)
The palisades are built too high
(When the rain falls)
There’s no repose, no last goodbye
(When the rain falls)
No looking back, no second try
(When the rain falls)
There’s no repose, no last goodbye
(When the rain falls)
The palisades are built too high
(When the rain falls)
[Chorus]
Someday again you I will see
(When the train ‘rives)
Promise you’ll come back for me
(If our will survives)
You told me it’s okay to cry
And now the gates are open wide
I know that I have
Nothing left to lose
