Dream of Dreaming Again
05:18
|
|||
Morning alarm, it's time to go, got another day to face
Slowly gaining back control underneath the sound of Erase/Replace
Feeling alive, it's time to roll, a new adventure calls today
A brand new world I've come to know, I'm not afraid to lose my way
The blood inside my veins, the beating in my heart
Umbrella in the rain, a guide within the dark
It's thanks to you I'm seeing 'round the bend
It's thanks to you I have more love to send
It's thanks to you I've got something more to defend
I dream of dreaming again
Your acceptance of my flaws, the way you let me show my face
How you answer to my calls, the rainclouds have been replaced
And our world is a see-saw, a soothing game of give and take
In the moment I should fall, little bro, my day you make
The sun up in my sky, so warm, so bright, so clear
The because to my why, the courage to my fear
It's thanks to you I'm seeing 'round the bend
It's thanks to you I have more love to send
It's thanks to you I've got something more to defend
I dream of dreaming again

It's thanks to you I'm seeing 'round the bend

I dream of dreaming again
I dream of dreaming again

The Past Is Not Me
03:20

Yesterday a knife was planted in my back
Yesterday my train was falling off the track
Yesterday the tunnel's end was out of sight
Yesterday was meant to be my final fight
And today I plant the blade inside the wall
And today I stand atop the wreckage tall
And today the sunlight liberates my eyes
And today I'll throw away my cheap disguise
The past is not me
The past is not me
[Guitar solo]
And today I plant the blade inside the wall
And today I stand atop the wreckage tall
And today the sunlight liberates my eyes
And today my hands will hold my rightful prize
The past is not me
The past is not me
The past is not me
The past is not me

River of Tears
06:27
|
|||
The bed's so cold today, can't sleep without your touch
My mind is racin' too fast
If I can find a way, if I'm not askin' too much
Can I stop clingin' to the past
One year ago tomorrow, we said we could run forever
Hand in hand, heart to heart, how can this love fall apart
But I have to beg and borrow, to make now out of never
Find your love, second chance, make a brand new start
This is more than I bargained for, tell me what are you waiting for
My arms are wide open and I'm always hopin'
I can't stand to look at you hurt yourself the way you do
You're always welcome here, put a dam on the river of tears
Always fallin', always callin'
This house is cold tonight, can't live without you here
The world is spinnin' too fast
There's no more reason to fight, I'll always hold the fear
I've become a resident of the past
One year ago today, you told was for life
Hand in hand, heart to heart, make a brand new start
This is more than I bargained for, tell me what are you waiting for
My arms are wide open and I'll never stop hopin'
I can't stand to look at you hurt yourself the way you do
You have a home right here, please calm this river of tears
Always fallin', always callin'
Always fallin', always callin' from my memories
Always fallin', always callin'
Always fallin', always callin' from my memories

This Is Your Song
02:17
|

Hello, if you can hear me
Send a lightning bolt across the sky of a million stars
I know that you were hurting
And I try my best to carry on with a million scars
This is your song, sing it wild and free now
This is your song, sing it just for me
This is your song, sing it wild and free now
This is your song, sing it just for me
Hello, if you can see me
Replace my face with your very own inside the mirror
I know it was before your time
And I try my best to carry on despite my fear
This is your song, sing it wild and free now
This is your song, sing it just for me
This is your song, sing it wild and free now
This is your song, sing it just for me

Different Man
04:51
|

You know I used to love you baby, when I was a different man
I held you close in times of trouble, wishing you would understand
You are all that keeps me goin’, I don’t have no other plan
Don’t you see why I cried so much when I found you with a different man
All I want is you but do you need me
It’s gettin’ so hard to tell why it’s so plain to see
I gave you all of me, you gave me none of you
I’m so close to cuttin’ you loose, let you play around with your new fool
'Cause he's a different man
Now I don’t believe I’m too complicated, I just need someone I can trust
Do I have to explain why I’m so frustrated, you’re throwing me right under the bus
Make me feel so dead and jaded, let my thoughts just crumble to dust
It’s my soul you done degraded, go ahead and leave if you must
All I want is you but do you need me
It’s gettin’ so hard to tell why it’s so plain to see
I gave you all of me, you gave me none of you
I’m so close to cuttin’ you loose, let you fuck around with your new fool
Now tell me, do you think of me when he’s inside of you, do you
Do you think of me
All I want is you but do you need me
It’s gettin’ so hard to tell why it’s so plain to see
I gave you all of me, you gave me none of you
I’m so close to cuttin’ you loose, let you play around with your new fool
All I want is you but do you need me
It’s gettin’ so hard to tell why it’s so plain to see
I gave you all of me, you gave me none of you
I’m so close to cuttin’ you loose, let you fuck around with your new fool
‘Cause he’s a different man

Nothing Is Forever
04:31
|

A wilted flower once in bloom, a ruined city view from my hotel room
All I can say in my fragile youth, death's our only truth
Twenty-two years is a rather long time when a minute feels like forever stopping on a dime
Twenty-two years and I tell you I'm fine, can't you see my smiling face underneath the sunshine
Maybe it's wrong but I wish I could fly into forever like a starling without a goodbye
Maybe it's wrong but you know what, I like the thought of rollin' down forever's road on my bike
Nothing is forever, I got a date with never
Nothing is forever
Twenty-two years is a very long life when the greatest validation feels like another knife
Throw it inside, plant it deep in my back and I deserve to watch my world fade right into black
Maybe it's wrong but I wanna be right, and if breaks another heart then I would sleep at night
Maybe it's wrong but please forget me when I make my rendezvous with destiny, 'cause
Nothing is forever, sever all the tethers
Nothing is forever
[Synth solo]

Here I Stand
02:35
|

Here I stand, starin' at myself from miles away
Wonderin' how I ended up right here today
Such a fool, I was much too blind to ever see
Never thinking of a goddamned thing but me
Now I burn, I feel the flames a-churnin' in my brain
Well this ain't the best time to go insane
Just want to fall apart, bandage up my bleeding heart
So close yet still so far, here I stand
What about my love, did I ever give enough to you
Or are you happy that our time is through
Just let me burn, you can try to save me if you please
You'll only hurt yourself so don't blame me
I want to fall apart, stitch up my bleeding heart
So close yet still so far, here I stand
[Synth solo]
Just let me burn, you can try to save me if you please
You'll only hurt yourself so don't blame me, don't blame me
Just want to fall apart, bandage up my bleeding heart
So close yet still so far, here I stand
I want to fall apart, stitch up my bleeding heart
So close yet still so far, here I stand

Fallen Angel
05:03
|

My brother was a fallen angel, I made his wings second time
My sister was a fallen angel, now her feathers make the sun shine
Don't you know I'm a fallen angel, now I'm diggin' deep underground
I'm gonna find where they bury the fallen angels
Gotta follow the sound, the sound
Gotta follow the sound, the sound
Down is where I'm home, down is all I know
Down is where I'm home, down and down I go
My brother was a fallen angel, I thought his wounds would heal with
My sister was a fallen angel, and something changed her deep inside
Don't you know I'm a fallen angel, hidden under the lost and found
I'm gonna find where they bury the fallen angels
Gotta follow the sound, the sound
Gotta follow the sound, the sound
Down is where I'm home, down is all I know
Down is where I'm home, down and down I go
Down is where I'm home, down so fuckin' low
Down is where I'm home, down is where I'm home
[Synth solo]
[Guitar solo]
Down is where I'm home, down is all I know
Down is where I'm home, down and down I go
Down is where I'm home, down is all I know
Down is where I'm home, down is where I'm home
Down is where I'm home, down is all I know
Down is where I'm home, down and down I go
Down is where I'm home, down so fuckin' low
Down is where I'm home, down is where I'm home

Out of Time
04:41
|
|||
I've got a secret, and it hides within the deepest reaches of my mind
I try to keep it, though now I'm only freakin' out when days go by
Sworn to silence, and again my same old violent thoughts are leaking out
Through fish-eye lens, the bladed ship, its lines are now obliquing down
It's trying to scream when your head belongs to someone else
It's trying to breathe when your throat's locked in a dead clam shell
It's trying to feel with a white Pickett fence around your heart
It's trying to finish something that you'll never start
Out of time, it's all in my hands
I cry, a mouse of a man
I try, fallin' apart just like the sand
Out of time, it's all in my head
I cry, "when can I be dead"
I try, I'm seein' black and red
I've got a secret, well I'm at my breaking point and this can't last too long
I try to keep it from pryin' eyes, what if their impression's wrong
I'm sworn to silence, and I'm shakin' like dying leaf left in the wind
Through fish-eye lens, a breakin' heart and melting brain from years of sin
[Synth solo]
[Guitar solo]
Out of time, it's all in my hands
I cry, a mouse of a man
I try, fallin' apart just like the sand
Out of time, it's all in my head
I cry, "when can I be dead"
I try, I'm seein' black and red
[Bass solo]

The only truth is death, all life has a last breath
And in between the first and last we shape with shibboleth
And in between the first and last we shape with shibboleth
The world is ours to tame, but all remains the same
And all the while, with pointless style, we play our living game
And all the while, with pointless style, we play our living game
Nothing is forever, I got a date with never
Nothing is forever
Nothing is forever, I sever all the tethers
Nothing is forever
