she sings herself to sleep
and prays herself awake
to step out into the dark
not knowing the way
she stumbles down the halls
wondering where to go
her poor, blind mind
has lost its way
is this my home now
am i alone now
don't want to be a weight on your shoulders
i'll put on my brave face
even though i'm lost in this place
and i'll tell you that i will love you forever
she puts her armor on
her god and her joyful songs
the love in her eyes so bright
there's no turning away
the window is narrowing
her memory can't compete
but the thief of time
hasn't stolen today
is this my home now
am i alone now
don't want to be a weight on your shoulders
i'll put on my brave face
even though i'm lost in this place
and i'll tell you that i will love you forever

I’ve been thinking about the end of the world
Haven’t I?
Haven’t I?
I’ve been thinking bout how it all comes to a close
Is it near?
Is it here?
Everybody seems to run in all different ways
Is this the cure?
How can I be sure?
And everyone wants to believe every page
Of the book of lies
The compromise
All I can say is keep looking…
CHORUS
Don’t fill me up, pour me out
Don’t give me hope, let me doubt
We’ve been looking for a meaning to it all
The day to day
The words we say
And nothing ever really represents who we are
So we run and hide
Behind our pride
We strive so long to belong
Don’t we now
Don’t we now
And once we’ve arrived, we’re already gone
Ain’t it true
For me and you
CHORUS
Don’t fill me up, pour me out
Don’t give me hope, let me doubt
When I’m holding on, let me go
And if you love me, don’t let me know
I don’t wanna know

What is there left to say
All the blood has been washed away
What is there left to decide
When anger and time is our guide
And who’s really worthy
To place the blame
When we all lined up
To play this game
It was my, my, my mistake
Let’s toss it all to the wind
Before the past starts flooding in
Too little too late
Too blind with hate
Too much to lose
Two paths to choose
And what is there left to save
Of the ruins scattered in our wake
Can this broken road be re-made
Or are we all lost to the grave
It was my, my, my mistake
I should have prayed, prayed, prayed for change
I really wish God had shown me this
Before we all fell prey to it
Let’s toss it all to the wind
Before the past starts flooding in
Too little too late
Too blind with hate
Too much to lose
Two paths to choose

You’re such a big poser
The anti-bulldozer
Sucking up
Instead of putting your foot down
You’re everywhere I don’t want to be
And yet you’re inside of me
Pulling strings
Dancing with the clowns
My free will is too free
I need to break the lease
Of any hold you’ve ever had over me
The bullshit is over
You’ve chosen another
And now my days will fill themselves
Without you
The memories get harder
They ravage and scar her
Tear her up
Instead of starting to fade out
Everywhere she turns it’s bleak
It’s all a bunk philosophy
Her heart screams
A ransom without sound
My free will is too free
I need to break the lease
Of any hold you’ve ever had over me
The bullshit is over
You’ve chosen another
And now my days will fill themselves
Without you
Without you
Without you
I just got a vacancy
My free will is too free
I need to break the lease
Of any hold you’ve ever had over me
The bullshit is over
I’ve chosen another
And now my days will fill themselves
Without you

Into the dark we creep
Seven layers deep
With nooses on our necks
And many miles to go
Before we sleep
Wearing suffering as shrouds
Edging out the proud
From before the dawn of man
Running circles in the sand
All of the best laid plans
Come to nothing
Your crowning achievement
Is that what we are?
More precious than sparrows
A legion of stars
Or did you forget
The frailty of our hearts
Drowned in deceit
Bound to rip you apart
Take us from our branches
To toil and to spin
Tear us from the roots
That you have grafted in
We’re not worthy of tear
Being shed for us
A single drop of blood
How can it ever be enough?
How can it ever be enough?
Your crowning achievement
Is that what we are?
More precious than sparrows
A legion of stars
Or did you forget
The frailty of our hearts
Drowned in deceit
Bound to rip you apart

Back to the bottle
Can’t reach the bottom
Facing the future
In the other direction
Swimming is drowning
And running is sinking
Can’t get a grasp on
This sick kind of thinking
Same soft parade
Of freaks and aliens
Shuffling through the rain
Hustling chameleons
And your fragile little heart
Is crushed to the dust
While all the broken pieces
Are left for us
End of the world now
Our rapture is coming
Last will and prophesy
For the ones that are waiting
This life is a circus
Self-doubt and self-hating
There’s only one ticket
To escape the evading
Shame on your charade
For the deceit and trickery
But it’s just the human race
Brought down by your inhumanity
And your fragile little heart
Is crushed to the dust
While all the broken pieces
Are left for us

I’m in an existential crisis
To put it mildly
Don’t think the moon and the stars
Have ever been aligned for me
Born under the sunshine
Of a nation that once was free
And now we’re spiraling
And now we’re spiraling
We’re broken down
By a system set up to fail
Yet here we are
Begging for chains
We’re hell bound
Naked and scared of ourselves
But nothing that gets shown to us
Will ever, ever be enough
We’ve swallowed
The
Blue
Pill
I’m in a revolutionary state of mind
To put it wildly
Don’t think the cops in their cars
Ever meant to serve and protect me
Sworn in like a soldier
To form their weapons against the free
And now we’re spiraling
And now we’re spiraling
We’re broken down
By a system set up to fail
Yet here we are
Begging for chains
We’re hell bound
Naked and scared of ourselves
But nothing that gets told to us
Will ever, ever be enough
We’ve swallowed
The
Blue
Pill

You left me in this ghost town
To chase the hand that fed you
You took what wasn’t nailed down
You took the last of me and you
And now you got it easy
I guess your dreams all came true
All you had to do was leave me
So you could find a better you
And even if we had the best of it
The haunting never ends
Is there something you forgot to say?
Or does the cat still got your tongue now?
I couldn’t leave, you know
I couldn’t stay
I won’t go back
What’s done is done now
Is there anything that pulls you back
I guess I'll wait for it
I guess I'll wait for it
These streets are unfamiliar
Friends that now are strangers
The home I had an empty shell
Bleeding apathy and anger
These words that fall out of me
I wish I never heard them
These days that turn into years
I wish I never lived them
And even if we had the best of it
The haunting never ends
Is there something you forgot to say?
Or does the cat still got your tongue now?
I couldn’t leave, you know
I couldn’t stay
I won’t go back
What’s done is done now
Is there anything that pulls you back
Or will I wait for it
Or will I wait for it
You left me in this ghost town
Walked away and left me to drown
I learned to swim but too late
Damage done
I guess you cheated fate
Is there something you forgot to say?
Or does the cat still got your tongue now?
I couldn’t leave, you know
I couldn’t stay
I won’t go back
What’s done is done now
Is there anything that pulls you back
Well I won't wait for it
No I won't wait for you
You left me in this ghost town
Burned all the bridges you found
No way back
Except to lay down
All our weapons
On the cold, cold ground

How can we trust the sun
How can we trust the sky?
While the maestros wave their wands
Willing the innocent to die
How long will our eyes stay closed
How long will we pretend that we don’t know
And how long is this life such a mystery
When every single thing has been spelled out
for you and me
Wake up believer
Wake up
Wake up unbeliever
Wake up
They tell us what they want
Our willing ears to hear
They manufacture our distress
And make it look like it's so real
How long will we turn away
Ignoring all the demons at our gate
And how long is long enough to be a fool
When the dragon crouches at our door
Waiting to rule
Wake up believer
Wake up
Wake up unbeliever
Wake up
Arms up believer
Arms up
Knees down unbeliever
Knees down

Still breathing
Still moving
Still thinking
Still grooving
Without love
Still laughing
Still drinking
Still dreaming
Still believing
Without love
The world still ticks on
The earth still moves around the sun
As we rush on and on and on
The race to oblivion
Without love
Still searching
Still hoping
Still dancing
Still coping
Without love
Still human
Still worthy
Still relevant
Still lonely
Without love
The world still ticks on
The earth still moves around the sun
We rush on and on and on
The race to oblivion
