Out of Sync 04:47
Strap me down Stitch me back together I'm a broken glass That shares the same reflection But I'm somehow indistinct Tear away The parts that make me someone I'm Not to be To feel as though I'm living, Just living out of sync Mentally divided, physically colliding I'm always on my own Physically divided, mentally colliding I'm never on my own You As we fall We are one, but still we are apart Who are you to tell me what to do We will never be the same Tear away Take me back to someplace I Shouldn't be To feel as though I'm living is All I have And you won't tell me who I am I said you won't tell me Who I am Mentally divided, physically colliding I'm always on my own Physically divided, mentally colliding I'm never on my own You As we fall We are one, but still we are apart Who are you to tell me what to do We will never be the same You As we fall We are one, but still we are apart Who are you to tell me what to do We will never be The same

Heliophobia 03:40
It started with a weakness And falling down, falling down She kept it as a secret, Her gown She spends her time waiting, Looking up, praying to the Sun She spends her time hating, Everyone She's not the only one waiting And all you had to take Was a step in the right direction But then they all found out And burnt her heart, burnt her heart Amidst the screaming and shouts, They tore her life apart She's standing Staring at the fire in the sky She's waiting for Hell She's not the only one waiting And all you had to take Was a step in the right direction

Wake me up, I've been Living in dreams of those around me Life won't be Exactly what you wanted You've been trying so hard to be Taking away each part of me But it's best you fight your own fight Because I'm splitting in two and it starts with you You can't erase this You can't replace this It's been too long To say goodbye now Is this the chance we've been waiting for? You might not like what you get, but it's Where you belong I'm done, I'm gone - There'll be no more Going back is no option - I am out the door I have nothing to say because I've said it before Now and then I can feel the push, the pull The gentle tug that drags me out of the world And I float there in orbit, on a path to Nowhere and everywhere I hope to be With all the lies that you said to me You've taken them back through your own dishonesty And now I'm taking it back, now I'm taking it back Now I'm taking this back from you You can't erase this You can't replace this It's been too long to say goodbye... Is this the chance we've been waiting for? You might not like what you get, but it's Where you belong I'm done, I'm gone - there'll be no more Going back is no option - I am out the door I have nothing to say because I've said it before Is this the chance we've been waiting for? You might not like what you get, but it's Where you belong I'm done, I'm gone - there'll be no more Going back is no option - I am out the door I have nothing to say because I've said it before I have nothing to say, I've said it before You have nothing to say, I've heard it before The lock clicks, the door slams, the engines rust Noise fades And I fall asleep

Counterfeit 04:35
I've got my foot in the door But my head's out the window And my hands are around my neck She calls me a whore But I'm just a widow Too cheap to charge for rent The road to Heaven has a toll booth at the end Hey yeah, but falling down's for free Everyone says there's plenty of fish in the sea Then why do families go hungry? I believed in chasing dreams and finding true love You're the one who proved me wrong I'm living out a hopeless scene I can see your eyes are faded Worn with time, your mind is jaded We shouldn't have hesitated Our right have been confiscated Hate has been emancipated Apathy is overrated If only we could stop just to find a meaning Nickels and dimes are what they want from me But I just can't make the change I've got 2 cents in my brain And I'm going insane Yeah, I'm staying the same Runaway, You can't turn back now, can't turn back Time to pay the fee I believed in chasing dreams and finding true love You're the one who proved me wrong I'm living out a hopeless scene I can see your eyes are faded Worn with time, your mind is jaded We shouldn't have hesitated Our right have been confiscated Hate has been emancipated Apathy is overrated If only we could stop just to find a meaning Just to find a meaning

Accommodate 04:19
Never knocked down Never beaten Never had to stand your ground You think you're special That you deserve it Wipe your eyes, your daddy's gone Stupid, spoiled rotten You think you've been forgotten You need to earn respect not shut your eyes and claim offenses Sick of your first world issues You can't be thinking this through You need to own your eyes, oh when will you come to your sense? I can't speak at all You're keeping us from moving on Discussions keep us going strong And time is wasting Silence cuz you don't agree But how else will you ever see Your sheltered world's a broken dream Your life's been wasted No one loses, no one wins When everybody plays defense Blame outside instead of in To make up for your confidence Claim must be persecution To stand out from the crowd you're in Scream justice until the end Instead of ever looking in Stupid, spoiled rotten You think you've been forgotten You need to earn respect not shut your eyes and claim offenses Sick of your first world issues You can't be thinking this through You need to own your eyes, oh when will you come to your senses? No one loses, no one wins When everybody plays defense Blame outside instead of in To make up for your confidence Claim must be persecution To stand out from the crowd you're in Scream justice until the end Instead of ever looking in You think you're special The whole world's got your back against the wall So you'll cry - it's unfair So that they'll accommodate (Stupid, spoiled rotten You think you've been forgotten You need to earn respect not shut your eyes and claim offenses)

This is not the first time But it just might be the last I've been running circles Far too long, trying to catch up with the past And I'm tired of hoping I'm tired of feeling wrong This time I'm going Am I already gone? I don't know why I don't care Don't stay, just leave me be I won't be the one, I won't be the one Where's the life that's promised? The dreams of safety We need a path Back to reason Take me back in time to where Our childhood stories Meant something More than just words Where did it go? It's getting hard to tell now When we lock our doors to friends Are we undoing the ropes, Or tying up their hands? And I'm tired of hoping, I'm tired of feeling wrong Yeah, this time I'm going I'm already gone There's no going back I won't be the one, I won't be the one Where's the life that's promised? A careless shelter We need a path Back to reason Take me back in time to where Our childhood stories Meant something More than just words You said that if we tried We could reach a higher light But I can see it in your eyes You know you lied Now go away As we stand here A new beginning A life of promise But we just stare We don't ask why, we don't ask why It just begins We start again
