You can overhear the faint voices speaking.
A familiar tone from when you were young.
Disappear like a cloud of smoke you are weakening.
Postpone the fear and fight the flames of the iron lung.
Get out of your head and break the barrier.
Ignore the spirits trying to pull you down.
Lost but found follow the sound the more the merrier.
You don’t want to be caught living in a thoughtless town.
You can feel the fear of all your separations growing.
Have you lost everything that you will ever know?
Sink deep beneath the sheets is your life worth living.
Overthrow what is unknown stop living in the shadows.
Get out of your head and break the barrier.
Ignore the spirits trying to pull you down.
Lost but found follow the sound the more the merrier.
You don’t want to be caught living in a thoughtless town.
If we only knew what you’ve been through.
We would say every thought.
The loneliest sounds lie in the waiting room.
Where the wait is just a crime.
A whisper from my mouth to your ears.
Please try to stay alive
This was our time to make this right.
But you stood there and watched it walk away.
Maybe we weren’t meant for this.
Life of selling lies.
To all those around who believed in us.
I’m sorry that I must say.
If I leave you won’t ever see me again.
My dear friend I never want this to end.
I’m hanging up, so I hope I made amends.
If it’s love you should never have to pretend.
We had our time to say what’s right.
I feel like we watched it fade away.
Maybe we’re too content with this.
To see our own disguise.
Either way we deceived ourselves.
Standing there in dismay.
Don’t lose faith in what you believe in.
If I leave you won’t ever see me again.
My dear friend I never want this to end.
I’m hanging up, so I hope I made amends.
If it’s love you should never have to pretend
I thought you were just trying to guide me home.
I should have known that nothing is set in stone.
It’s kind of like your old-fashioned set of bones.
We took the risk on all your faulty loans.
Only a few will buy you out.
Are they willing to try and save you now?
The wasteland where others go to sleep.
Everything is separated, stuck in between.
Staring into broken glass, a permanent dream.
Buried in nothing here trapped in a sea.
What is it that you don’t see?
You won’t wake up from this sleep.
The wasteland where shadows come to speak.
The shore is decorated the scent of bromine.
Sinking in the thought of you, passionate dreams.
Buried in nothing here, a door without keys.
We will watch you till the end of time.
Please stop waiting for a sign.
I am up to my neck sinking below.
Please grab my hand and pull me up.
I would love to be at the mountains above.
Please grab my hand and show me love.
Please won’t you grab my hand and show me love.
Show me love
Looking back was it worth it to you.
To try and fight just to pursue.
Someone else’s dream land.
I’m willing to try and give you a hand.
A flash back of your life in review.
Something that you wish you knew.
To stay away from that waste land.
Open your mind so you will expand.
Trapped in the wrong dream.
Thoughts are tearing from the seams again.
Wake up my dear friend.
You were dealt the wrong hand again.
Looking back was it worth it to you.
To try and fight just to pursue.
Someone else’s dream land.
I’m willing to try and give you a hand.
Trapped in the wrong dream.
Thoughts are tearing from the seams again.
Wake up my dear friend.
You were dealt the wrong hand again.
We can all believe the light to some degree.
Please just let me grieve, relive some memories.
We remain young with all the songs we’ve sung.
Put your love up front and rest in the dead sea
The days will blur into one.
When you’ve lost a love.
People will wonder where you’ve been.
It’s hurts to look at their face again.
But you keep on walking by.
No matter how hard you try.
It will never be easy.
It will never be easy.
I never want to feel that pain again.
There’s so many things that I wish I said to you.
The silence will haunt me every time.
The nights will hurt for some.
Remembering what you’ve done.
Your head will spin as you breathe the air.
Sometimes life will not be fair.
But you keep on lying awake.
Oh, for heaven’s sake.
It will never be easy.
It will never be easy.
I never want to feel that pain again.
There’s so many things that I wish.
I never want to feel that pain again.
There’s so many things that I wish to you.
The silence will haunt me every time
What is this life if not a mystery?
Where is the time? Have I gone to history?
The world isn’t your oyster if you’re just an empty shell.
Moments have blurred. Passing on swiftly.
The wind settles down. Ever so gently.
The world isn’t your oyster if you’re just an empty shell.
Brittle and broken a shattered frame of what you used to be.
Metal bones hold you together.
Like a stone you will sink to floor.
Fragile mind light as a feather.
Rise above don’t fall back down.
These lines have crossed. Are you sleeping or waking?
We are at a loss. As your light keeps fading.
No pearls in an oyster with just an empty shell.
Nothing is spoken a little noise from all of the machines.
I can hear every word you say.
Do you know that I am here?
Held up by a tiny frame.
Just listen… please listen.
I can scream till I’m blue in the face.
Do you know that I am here?
Showing up without a trace.
Just listen will you please just listen.
Help me find my way back.
I can’t find my way back.
Help me find my way back.
I can’t find my way back to you
Wake up I don’t know who I am to you now.
I wish someone would tell me where I am.
Back down you’re telling me I shouldn’t be around here.
When we fall we perceive life how it stands.
You got the news today.
As you’re lying awake.
There’s no one here to blame.
Will you ever be the same?
As you’re put on a display.
Wishing you could get away.
And your body was in pain.
But now you can break the chains and pick yourself up.
Mid-century and the American dream
White picket fences are crumbling beneath
The dream of fame yet we are all to blame
It’s hard to forgive when all you do is work to live
Please let the one percent show me how to live
So I can run in my worn out shoes
Nothing is what it seems
They’ll never know what it means
To live a day and not have to struggle through
Here we stand in this tired old line
Just to collect a paycheck that I swear was mine
We’ve waited for change
Yet our lives remain the same
Are you living your own theme?
Or are you living in someone else’s dream?
Please let the one percent show me how to live
So I can run in my worn out shoes
Nothing is what it seems
They’ll never know what it means
To live a day and not have to struggle through
You don’t know just what you’re missing
You don’t know just what you’re missing out on
Are we to blame for what you’ve done?
The choice was yours we’ve just begun
Are we the ones you take this out on?
Will they give you a chance to try and reassure your plans?
Leaving with nothing but a worn-out box placed in your hands
Too bad there’s no award for having a doubt
Please don’t take it personal for showing you out
We need a revenue, so we can replace your resource
You mean nothing… is there anything that could be much worse?
How can you lie to my face wearing a grin?
When I’m already spread so thin…
I just had an epiphany
Rattling my change as I hit the floor
What happened with the stability?
The world’s full of people that are wanting more
No one here is able
Because everyone’s afraid
No one here is stable
For fear of being replaced
Enjoy your slumber and your friends
You are just a number in the end
Am I in hell or the unemployment line?
We are all in debt thanks to our willing federal government
How can you take what I thought was mine?
When you’re working up a sweat it’s a different kind of mindset
Returning to nothing we never heard the warning
We had little support from the people of the same side
A moment of silence for your pockets are in mourning
You were fighting in a war that was never really quite yours
Give out the credit to everyone you know
We will try to pay you back thanks for the platinum black and the Cadillac
When there is smoke there will be a fire
You can never put it out wouldn’t that be great news to read about?
Returning to nothing we never heard the warning
We had little support from the people of the same side
A moment of silence for your pockets are in mourning
You were fighting in a war that was never really quite yours
The eagle will hover and place you in its shadow
When all you have is love you won’t fall apart
So never let go
Never let go
Returning to nothing
Had little support from the people of the same side
A moment of silence
Fighting in a war that was never really quite yours
Fighting in a war that was never really quite yours
You may want to check your facts
Do you really think that we are the bad men?
Even your heart requires a contract
Everyone is right in their perspective
Tell your lies to the misinformed
Say what you need to get elected
At least I’ve lived an honest life
I can look around and feel respected
Who do you believe in now?
It’s so easy to counteract
Do you really think there was a time when?
We weren’t backed by a social contract
Go ahead and play the detective
Show your disguise to the untrained eye
Say what you mean we feel neglected
At least I live without a knife
In the back of those who feel protected
Who do you believe in now?
Who are you to say that we’ll never find a way back home?
It’s hard to make peace with change
When all your skin has aged
Friends have gone away
Do you pray that the words you say
Will make the return?
Dusk will extinguish the day
With your hair that’s black and grey
Your final resting place
With a headstone that’s been misplaced
Stained glass and widowed birds
Reflect what you’ve learned for the first time
That you won’t be around
Direct me so that you will be mine
Don’t be my sweet little let down
What stays buried with the withered and weak
Old secrets and permanent sleep
Crumbled bones and unopened eyes
Broken clocks with useless lies
The day the earth stood still
Reflect what you learned for the second time
That you won’t be around
Direct me so that you will be mine
Don’t be my sweet little let down
My sweet little let down
They can see you’re not the same you have grown tired
There will be no one to blame you have to re-wire
The way you lived before is so outdated
Everyone around can tell you’re so frustrated
When I’m with you the sky seems brighter
Just lend me your ears when you grow tired
I want to be around so that you can hear the sound
You can only truly endear in complete alliance
They have seen what you became so uninspired
What will you need to say to be admired?
The way you act right now is so overrated
Everyone can tell you’re so frustrated
I’m restless and outspoken
I’ve watched the words fall from my hands
Create me from a fracture
Was I made from pieces of a broken man?
Please will you pull me away dear
Please will you pull me away
Please will you pull me away dear
And take me to a better place
When I’m with you the sky seems brighter
Just lend me your ears when you grown tired
I want to be around around so that you can hear the sound
You can only truly endear in complete alliance
The crowds used to gather here
Year after year
Now you have an eerie feeling
You’re the last one around
In this one horse town
You are the only one kneeling
You can hear the trees sway
When you used to hear kids say
I am sure am hopeful for the future
Will we ever believe in each other?
You would never leave behind your brothers
Will we ever believer in each other?
Look at me face to face now
So how do I think about this place?
Day after day
I wonder what is so appealing
And when you’re feeling down
In this old ghost town
You will stare at the ceiling
And wonder who you could have been
But every now and then
You look around
Save yourself the torture
Will we ever believe in each other?
You would never leave behind your brothers
Will we ever believer in each other?
Look at me face to face now
It’s so hard to try and move on when
Every word your speaking has no effect
To everyone around who said they were listening
Clearly had their ears closed to some respect
It feels like I’ve been living this decade
With nothing I have to show for (nothing I can show for)
With all my empty pockets and promises
I’ve clearly thrown my hands up for the last time
You are what you do you are not what you say
When you’ve done so much to live off a phrase
You start to wonder if you’ll make it out alive
It seems that I have hidden in silence
Everything that I believed in…what did I believe in?
All of my fears of the wicked and wonderful
Are sitting behind these closed doors for the last time
You are what you do and not what you say
When you’ve done so much to live
You are what you do and not what you say
When you’ve done so much to live off a phrase
If ignorance is bliss than you must be content
Escaping to the thoughts that attempt to deliver
Turn your back to those with good intent
Will there ever be a time you do not shiver?
You are watching the same fall
You thought no one would notice
You thought no one would care
There’s always someone willing to help you
But no one can if you don’t share
Because today are you willing to give the world away
The one that spins in the other direction
The day will come when you want to explain
Your need for love and affection
The pictures in your mind you used to paint
Sitting all alone down by the river
Hanging by the threads you can’t undo
No thoughts to keep you warm you will not shiver
Close your eyes and go to sleep
This time you will surely dream
You might just have to look around
When you see you will be sure
Things aren’t always what they seem
This time you will surely see
When you’re ready to settle down
You will hear the sound of her
The sound of her
You’ll be back when I count to ten
I really don’t want to start over again
I have seen your face before
Lying down across the floor
I can feel the cold air
As your reflection stands there
Now your voice is wearing thin
I really don’t want to start over again
Here I rest it’s after ten
I don’t know where and I don’t know when
How to begin
It’s been too long since I’ve been gone and
How does this end?
I think it’s time for me to let you go now
I have seen your face before
Lying down across the floor
I can feel the cold air
As your reflection stands there
You’ll be gone when I count to ten
I never thought I would be alone again
I never thought I would be alone again
Are you tired of being belittled?
You’ve been pushed all the way to the back
And now you’re stuck somewhere in the middle
With no plan of attack
It will take everything to move forward
But remember to stay on track
Don’t distract your way to the bottom
Living for a love you won’t get back
You’re reluctant and tired
From a lack of desire
You’ve been criticized around
Caught living with your face down in the dirt
Are you tired of being belittled?
Like a person who was down on their luck
Have you signed a deal with the devil
From the last nerve you struck
It will take everything you once had
So that you can move ahead
Don’t drown yourself in the bottle
From a love that you misread
You’re reluctant and tired
From a lack of desire
You’ve been criticized around
Caught living with your face down in the dirt
You won’t believe in
Others and how you treat them
You’re reluctant and tired
From a lack of desire
You’ve been criticized around
Caught living with your face down in the dirt
It’s not all that bad but it’s not all that great
When you’re learning to live for what you create
Will you be all that glad
Will it be worth the wait
Are you wasting your time on those you can’t relate?
Broken bodies will make you bite the hand that doesn’t feed you
It’s hard to grow
When you don’t plant the seed
It can not be that bad
When you have time to prove
That it can not be that bad
Unless you are the one to choose
It’s not all that great but it’s not all that bad
Live for today but forget what you had
Remember the times you had nothing to give
You’ll never be the type to die and let live
Broken bodies despise empty hands with fuller minds
All you’ll ever know
What they may never see
It can not be that bad
When you have time to prove
That it can not be that bad
Unless you are the one to choose
It can not be that bad
Will it always be?
It can not be that bad
Will it always be?
How do you sleep?
When the pain is real
Another walk through
Just an average day
You can’t tell a soul
They won’t understand
What you’ve been through
You missed a lifetime
All I ever wanted was to make you feel
All I ever needed was to have you here
When you’re in the deep
It’s easy to conceal
The love that you had
Was never real
The thoughts that you may have
Will make you understand
That you may never
Have another chance
All I ever wanted was to make you feel
All I ever needed was to have you here
All I ever wanted was to make you feel
All I ever needed was to have you by my side
I will never leave you with pain or fear
I will never stay to give you hope my dear
I won’t ever believe you, you’ll be back again
I won’t ever trust what you’re worth when
