01. Calm Snow - Lyrics:

Don't you tell me all them lies we both know

Don't you tell me how time flies, it's so slow

All the love in the world we both show

But when it comes to something real we both choke

So tell me, how does it feel to know

That your lies, your lies won't save you now?

To know, your lies, your lies, your lies won't save you now

We're watching things unravel slowly

You're just tryin' to get away from yourself

It's obvious you're speakin' in languages I can't read

You just hide and confide in someone else, oh

Don't you tell me all them lies we both know

Don't you tell me how time flies, it's so slow

All the love in the world we both know

But when it comes to something real we both choke

So tell me, how does it feel to know

That your lies, your lies won't save you now?

To know that your lies, your lies, your lies won't save you now

We're watching things unravel slowly

You're just tryin' to get away from yourself

It's obvious you're speakin' in languages I can't read

You just hide and confide in someone else, oh

Your lies, your lies, your lies, your lies

02. Break - Lyrics:

We all lose ourselves along the way

Sometimes we lose ourselves along the way

Did your heart let someone in now?

Always waking in your sleep

Your mind's so sick of always asking how

I always end up cutting deep

I'm standing out here in the rain

The whole damn world has gone insane

There's only so much my mind can take

Your heart's about to break

Rest now, my muse

The worry is only temporary

Hold all of you for me

Did your heart let someone in now?

Always waking in your sleep

Your mind's so sick of always asking how

I always end up cutting deep

We all lose ourselves along the way

I'm standing out here in the rain

The whole damn world has gone insane

There's only so much my mind can take

Your heart's about to break

Leave me

There's only so much my mind can take

Your heart's about to break

Our hearts were made to start the healing

Bring back the pain, I wanna feel it

Our hearts were made to start the healing

Bring back the pain, I wanna feel it

Our hearts were made to start the healing

Bring back the pain, I wanna feel it

03. White Lies - Lyrics:

You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there

You said you'd be there till the bitter end

Your voice feels bitter now

The world I'm fightin' for just plays pretend

I'm surrendering

Way too long, way too long

I'm not gonna turn my head

You play the part, I'm holdin' out my hands

Out of sight, out of mind, out of sight

I feel you in the air

You haunt me everywhere

You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there

White lies, you do this every time

We fall in familiar places, drift apart and don't know why

Breaths we take, like breaths we take, you're gone

You play the part, I'm holdin' out my hands

Way too long, way too long

You said you'd be there till the bitter end

Your voice is bitter now

The world I'm fightin' for just plays pretend

I'm surrendering

White lies, you do this every time

We fall in familiar places, drift apart and don't know why

Breaths we take, like breaths we take, you're gone

You are the reason for the life I live

You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there

04. Everyone's Safe In The Treehouse - Lyrics:

I'm just a man with a vision

Who's growin' more blind everyday

Eyes of a child now in ruins

Scared of everything he became

My voice wasn't loud enough for you to listen

Your words weren't strong enough for me to stay, hey

'Cause I feel your love has always been empty

Just a way to sink your teeth into me

But the truth is we built our house in a tree

We built the roads we walk upon

I feel you have the worst intentions

Controlling everyone but me

My voice wasn't loud enough

Your words weren't strong enough

'Cause I feel your love has always been empty

Just a way to sink your teeth into me

But the truth is we built our house in a tree

We built the roads we walk upon

Are you alive or are you just living?

You don't get it, you'll never get it

Do you have a life or are you just living?

You don't get it, you'll never get it

Do you have a life or are you just living?

I feel your love has always been empty

Just a way to sink your teeth into me

'Cause I feel your love has always been empty (Been empty)

Just a way to sink your teeth into me

But the truth is we built our house in a tree

We built the roads we walk upon

05. Running With Scissors - Lyrics:

The truth cannot be anymore clear

And I'm not askin' you to hold on

It's everything that you ever feared

I know you're tryin' so hard to move on

It kinda feels like someone

Replaced the heart that once was yours

I'm tryin' hard to be someone

But falling short of the person I wanna be

I wanna be

So I'll pretend I'm letting go

While you're dancin' in the past without colors

You'll be the one

Runnin' away in my nightmares

I'm letting go

You said you'd never ever look back

You'll be the one

Runnin' away in my nightmares

Tryin' hard to be someone

But falling short of the person I wanna be

Tryin' hard to be someone

But falling short of the person I want to be

I want to be

Runnin', runnin', runnin'

The truth cannot be anymore clear

And I'm not askin' you to hold on

It's everything that you ever feared

So I'll pretend I'm letting go

While you're dancin' in the past without colors

You'll be the one

Runnin' away in my nightmares

I'm letting go

You said you'd never ever look back

You'll be the one

I wanna be, oh

(I wanna be) It kinda feels like someone

Replaced the heart that once was yours

(I wanna be) I'm tryin' hard to be someone

So I'll pretend I'm letting go

While you're dancin' in the past without colors

You'll be the one

Runnin' away in my nightmares

I'm letting go

You said you'd never ever look back

(Runnin' away in my nightmares)

You'll be the one

Runnin' away in my nightmares

Runnin', runnin', runnin'

06. Mobbin' Out - Lyrics:

It's almost light, I'm layin' my head down

I try to smile but I'm weighin' myself down

I'm losin' faith everyday that I'm runnin' with you

I'm losin' faith everyday

I will not go, oh

I'll make it through the night

I will not go, oh

I'll shine my brighter lights

I will not go, oh (I will not go, oh)

I'll make it through the night (I'll make it through the night)

I will not go, oh (I will not go, oh)

I'll shine my brighter lights (I'll shine my brighter lights)

I will not go, oh

I'll shine my brighter lights

If I walk with you: a life of second glances

I gave you hope; you buried your chances

Aren't you the one who said you bled for this?

No, you're the one who left in the first place

How can you just stand there with a straight face

Tellin' me you did the best that you could?

I'm givin' up on you but I'm not givin' up on me

Your horse is higher than a skyscraper

Your shadow is starting to fade

Givin' up on you but I'm not givin' up on me

I see the light, I think I'm gonna make it out

I'll miss the times we didn't even have a doubt

The things you said disappear when it's convenient for you

It's time for you to do the same

I will not go, oh

I'll make it through the night

I will not go, oh

I'll shine my brighter lights

I watched words fall out of your face

Always so numb to the impact you made

Tried so hard to make you see

That you've become invisible to me

(I will not go, oh)

(I'll make it through the night)

(I will not go, oh) I'll shine my brighter lights

(I'll shine my brighter lights) I'll make it through

(I will not go, oh) I will not go

(I'll make it through the night) I'll make it through the night

(I will not go, oh)

I'll shine my brighter lights

How can you just stand there with a straight face

Tellin' me you did the best that you could?

I'm givin' up on you but I'm not givin' up on me

Your horse is higher than a skyscraper

Your shadow is starting to fade

Givin' up on you but I'm not givin' up on me

Aren't you the one who said you bled for this?

No, you're the one who left in the first place

07. Walking On Gravestones - Lyrics:

Choose me

I doubt I was the only one

Heart broken on my back with the light on

I doubt I was the only one

Heart broken on my back with the light on

When the wind blows, just know time is running

Just know I know, time

When the wind blows, just know time is running

Just know I know, time

Choose me

When the wind blows, just know

I doubt I was the only one

Heart broken on my back with the light on

(Choose me) I doubt I was the only one

Heart broken on my back with the light on

08. Light In The Cave - Lyrics:

It's easy to find the answer

It's always been there, I'm always runnin'

To the back of my mind I gather

Thoughts and shades I haven't shown yet

Oh, how the tables turn

I had my mind made up like a story

That you knew the ending of

I always knew that you were pretending

Yeah, I always knew that you were pretending

Just hold on me

And I'll wipe away the marks they drawn on you

Here it's you and me 'cause I

I'm holding on by the tips of my fingers

I'm not afraid of the fall

The only thought that the silence triggers

Is the time I went wrong

Oh, I know I made a fool of us all

Oh, I'm sorry, so sorry I'm not sorry at all

It's always runnin', always runnin'

It's easy to find the answer

It's always been there

Oh, how the tables turn

I had my mind made up like a story

That you knew the ending of

Yeah, I always knew that you were pretending

I'm holding on by the tips of my fingers

I'm not afraid of the fall

The only thought that the silence triggers

Is the time I went wrong

Oh, I know I made a fool of us all

Oh, I'm sorry, so sorry I'm not sorry at all

It's easy to find the answers

It's always been there, I'm always runnin'

To the back of my mind I gather

Thoughts and shades I haven't shown yet

09. All In - Lyrics:

Hands on my face 'cause I'm all in

Double zeros, I'm all in

I'm just a kid come from nothing

I see your family got something

Dragging your feet like it's nothing

All 'cross the board, yeah, I'm all in

All 'cross the states, yeah, you fallin'

We takin' risks, yeah, we all in

We disappeared from all the lights

There was nothing left so we went right

Remember the days we were callin'

No word when we needed you all in

Mobbin' the house that we all in

We takin' risks, yeah, we all in

You say the waters under bridges

But you know the bridge is burning

The clock is tickin' by the second

I know that time is turnin'

I see the people you fuck with

They holdin' a knife to your back

Hands in the air 'cause they all in

We takin' risks, yeah, we all in

Mobbin' the house that we all in

We takin' risks, yeah, we all in

I can tell that everybody in this room is really scared

No one 'round me giving feelings like they really care

I know my people at home, yeah, they be really there

I know my people at home

Breathin' in

I'm having trouble tryna bite my tongue again

Breathin' in

Don't think that I can just bite my tongue again

Who are you at heart?

Who are you at all?

We'll see

You say the waters under bridges

But you know the bridge is burnin'

The clock is tickin' by the second

I know that time is turning

I know my people at home, yeah, they be really there

Mobbin' the house that we all in

We takin' risks, yeah, we all in

You say the waters under bridges

But you know the bridge is burnin'

The clock is tickin' by the second

I know that time is turning

I see the people you fuck with

They holdin' a knife to your back

Breathin' in

I'm having trouble tryna bite my tongue again

Breathin' in

Don't think that I can just bite my tongue

Who are you at heart?

Who are you at all?

We'll see

Hands on my face 'cause I'm all in

Double zeros, I'm all in

All 'cross the board, yeah, we all in

We takin' risks, man, we all in

10. Two Hearted - Lyrics:

The wreck is all we have to know that this has to end

If there's a chance, the lights may follow you home

You know where to find me

You can call it what you want

You can call it moving on

You know it's for the better

Oh, I know it's for the better

You can call it what you want

You can call it moving on

You know it's for the better

Oh, I know it's for the better

The past is all we had

When I think about the way we used to be

You seem to think you're invincible

I've waited for change but now I'm convinced

That this has to end

You can call it what you want

You can call it moving on

You know it's for the better

Oh, I know it's for the better

You can call it what you want

You can call it moving on

You know it's for the better

Oh, I know it's for the better

When your leaves fell off I followed you

Followed you

Now I see that I can't follow you

Follow you

If there's a chance

The light may follow you home

You know where to find me

You can call it what you want

You can call it moving on

You know it's for the better

Oh, I know it's for the better

You can call it what you want

You can call it moving on

You know it's for the better

Oh, I know it's for the better

You can call it what you want

You can call it moving on

You know it's for the better

Oh, I know it's for the better

11. Portals - Lyrics:

Say you don't believe

It's human nature to me

The moment a bullet leaves

A fool's future is weaved

I'm just tryin' to breathe fire

The news took the wind right out of me

There's no relief in the silent

Ways we grieve

One reason for the pain you caused

Two words to mend the damage done

Three left in the chamber of your gun

Four seconds to run

You say you don't believe

It's human nature to me

The moment a bullet leaves

A fool's future is weaved

I can feel me centered and the world comes with it

I can feel centered and the world comes with it

I just want the world to know it's real

It's the colour they see; fire

Never knowing the face behind the name

It's so easy stayin' quiet

But red's the colour we bleed

One reason for the pain you caused

Two words to mend the damage done

Three left in the chamber of your gun

Four seconds to run

Say you don't believe

It's human nature to me

The moment a bullet leaves

A fool's future is weaved

You say you don't believe

It's human nature to me

The moment a bullet leaves

A fool's future is weaved

I can feel me centered and the world comes with it

I can feel centered and the world comes with it

(Shed a tear)

(Remind yourself the world is real)

(Pinch yourself, shed a tear)

(Remind yourself the world is real)

That the world is real

That the world is real, whoa

It's so easy stayin' quiet

But red's the colour we bleed

(Pinch yourself, shed a tear)

(Remind yourself the world is real)

(Pinch yourself, shed a tear)

(Remind yourself the world is real)

I just want the world to know it's real, whoa

I just want the world to know it's real

So say you don't believe

You say you don't believe

It's human nature to me

The moment a bullet leaves

A fool's future is weaved

I can feel me centered and the world comes with it

I can feel centered and the world comes with it

12. Yellow King - Lyrics:

I've had this dream before

It's just the ghost of the once was

A fool just like before

The same exact sad outcome

I've meant my enemy

And it seems we tried to work it out

You're just the ghost of the once was

But the stars aren't far enough for you to grab them

Right out of the sky, there ain't no doubt about it

You ain't no child tryin' to drive a fast car, no

You ain't no friend of mine

Nobody seems to fear the truth more than me

It seems I have a darkness

But I can leave it all behind if you let me

Only if you let me, only if you let me

So lay it on me, so lay it on me

It seems you're so scared of takin' chances I'm not

So lay it on me, so lay it on

I feel the rain

Reoccurring dreams pulling out my teeth

In a crowded white room

I try to run or yell, "This is my hell"

My legs won't move

I've had this dream before

It's just the ghost of the once was

A fool just like before

The same exact sad outcome

I've had this dream before

You're just the ghost of the once was

But the stars aren't far enough for you to grab them

Right out of the sky, there ain't no doubt about it

You ain't no child tryin' to drive a fast car, no

You ain't no friend of mine

Nobody seems to fear the truth more than me

It seems I have a darkness

But I can leave it all behind if you let me

Only if you let me, only if you let me

All this time, I've been waitin' to let you go

So lay it on me, so lay it on me

It seems you're so scared of takin' chances I'm not

So lay it on me, so lay it on

I feel the rain
