Bandages 04:12
You've been captive all along Lost hold and slide Just open one It can't be done No mask can help you hide But all at once Who shot first Now choose your side When pulling off the bandage, best is fast I'm strong enough, I think I can help with that I'll make it painless as I can You tell me what you can stand You spin a nasty web That you end up tangled in Woke up by your alarm Held down by shadow arms There's no way to explain The feeling in between What's next and what we've seen Now choose your side

Colors 04:44
I heard a faint alarm I get it, a minute, we've only gone so far How could it take so long I made a decision to live in the moments gone For all my life, I've been standing on unlucky earth For crying out, I've sunk that much back in the dirt I know, I know That you cast the line, you hold the knife You count the ways you could take a mans life Struggling now can only make it worse I might as well live for every second that it's worth And you tell me I'm better off silent In a word, I define, you're not a friend of mine And you won't survive when it starts to get violent So get involved, lead the way, or bring it back inside and go Uh Oh, switch sides, and have ourselves one last toast Real close, go slow, I want to let your colors show Uh oh, now you've gone and made yourself the fool But that's my color too So why don't you call back, are you damaged Oh so dramatic, it's almost automatic Have you lost all your contacts, can you manage Facts left in the attic or am I going manic Have you come to life, I made a decision to live on the moon tonight

I never thought you'd be one of them Guess I missed again, maybe one day I'll be right I see right past your face, or forget your name Say 'oh yes, I'll call' or maybe worst of all, it's another lie And I can't help thinking my Hours that I spent waiting Gone to waste, no minutes to save me It'll take a miracle maybe Sit a bit, and rest my eyes Look at this, you've been making me cry Quite a grip, you've got a good hold Hold me here until we get old I don't claim I've been wise No moments left I can give As it is, I live on borrowed time I hope you strapped yourself in The way it is, don't count on the safety line And I can't help thinking my Hours that I spent waiting Gone to waste, no minutes to save me It'll take a miracle maybe With your hips you arrest my eyes Look at this you've been making me cry Quite a grip, you've got a good hold Hold me here until we get old Harsh words at the start of every war What's the end you're looking for? In your mind you decide just to ignore All the signs tacked on your door Get straight to the point and end this game I win hand over fist, too bad, I commend you for this But all of your dice have been thrown, it looks bad So sad that you missed, fat chance, no you can't handle this I waited too long to finish the song It's all about you, so follow me through Maybe it hurt to finish the verse Why does it work when you're hearing it first Do you like it like that?

Alarms 04:54
You come with a dirty look in your eye You're the master of just getting a rise and yes you've done it again You thought you'd walk away and tell your friends you strung another one along again but not tonight this isn't happening I'll show you how to get down But I'm telling you now That it's not probable or possible that any of these obstacles can keep your mind off me once you have felt your world explode and go One touch, Alarms They go off inside your head Relax your arms, get dressless and on the bed And yes I will make you come again And another time You're blessed with the best of all of them The way I do you right Attention paid to everything in ways you thought was only staged on the page in seedy novels Oh no girl That's just what they told you See all the times as you passed me right on by I was drinking in your sight and working on a line to drop you girl It can't get more true girl Carl Meeks: When I'm in the mood for love, girl you're always ready I get emotional feeling inside, you're the one waiting You always make me happy, in every possible way Cause you, giving me love, day by day

Ashes 03:22
First of all, don't want the kind you find in the gutter It hurts to fall, well past the time to climb another All their pockets full of ashes now we all fall down on one It's just mother nature Yes, yes she's the maker Yet we hate, hate on the savior Waste the earth and leave her endagered Worst of all, I've half a mind to drive erratic I admit to wrong, the past can leave you with some static All their pockets full of ashes now let's Dance tonight Drown out the amps and you'll hold on Watch my eyes, make a fist put your game on Drop disguise, let go and face what's been coming All their pockets full of ashes now we all fall down on one For a compromise, you have yours and I'll have mine All of us should have equal rights Who are you just to decide It can all be fine Tend to yours and I'll mind mine Still we are pretty far, holding our pocket full of ashes now here we go

Corridor 04:42
It's easy to see how we forced it On on and, well after dawn and the fear is mostly gone Lately my dreams have been morbid Against the wall their guns and bombs have been killing everyone You got blood in your eyes But you'll improvise, and end up on top, how You can cause the pressure to drop out It's a coming of age Another turn of the page Do you have all your strength now Somehow I'm starting to shrink down Walking through corridors I don't think that I've ever been here before It gets dark soon Could you believe we never lit the torch I guess I should have mentioned that before It gets dark soon, I'm here to hold on to What's wrong with today The villain takes everything The mess that you made A moment late, that's too late But here we are alive I found a place to stay tonight These corridors can save us from the world Have some love, some dance, and some wine Bottoms up, let's drink tonight These corridors can take us to the light The silence grows It's all been gold and diamonds Yes I got my mind stuck on the islands You get too much sun you're baked you can't deny it If you hear I'm innocent you know I'm lying But in the end it's your own mind you're frying So go do what you want this is the only time

Outstander 04:33
Into the eye Watching the whole thing fall apart I'm injured inside Been bleeding out from the start It gets hard to stand among the mess Burnt and pressed against the fence My soul slides right on through And now yours can too We'll stand to the side Watching them all get drunk and spin On the edge of the knife The trick's all in balancing It gets hard to stand among the mess Burnt and pressed against the fence My soul slides right on through And now yours can too Wake up, we've been trying to tell you something Save you from destruction or is that what you like? Make up any story that you want to, sprinkle on the drama, if you can't believe yourself how can I? Lean on me now while luck is running out on you No smoke, no shroud The damage done at last It gets hard to stand while getting burnt again And I can't get mad, my soul slides on through And now yours can too.
