The Fight
03:12
|

The water is rising
And I have to sink or swim
The ship is capsizing
And fear is setting in
I close my eyes and ask how can I be strong when everyone I know in this world is giving up
Hold on, hold on
This is the calm before the storm
Gather the crew raise the alarm
We’re not afraid
Hold on, hold on
This is the fight you have to win
Don’t let the current pull you in
Don’t be afraid
My demons are hiding
And I feel like giving in
Depression is fighting
And I can’t let it win
When you feel you’ve lost control, don’t be afraid
When you make the broken whole, don’t be afraid
When you feel like you’re running out of life, don’t be afraid
Hold on, hold on… It’s not your time

Know My Name

No heart, no mind,
I was just in empty soul worth nothing.
So lost, so tired,
I just wanted to believe in something.
Then this life showed me the edge.
I never want it to end.
No, we might not get tomorrow,
So I gotta give the most I can today.
I don’t want to feel hollow,
So I gotta fill the world with all of me.
I’m gonna make a change, make a change .
You’re gonna know my name, know my name.
No love, no light,
I was just an empty heart left beating.
So wrong, so right,
I just wanted to relieve this breathing.
Then this life showed me the edge.
I never want it to end.
I know it’s going to fall back down, fall back down on me someday.
I know we gotta push back now, rise up till you know my name.
'Till you know my name.

Back To Life

Is this real?
I can’t tell in this movie shot in hell
Someone get me off this stage
I didn’t think it’d end this way.
Try to breathe
Try to care
I can’t breathe without you here
In this tunnel with no light
Gotta make it out alive
What’s left for me but memories?
All the scenes replay in technicolor
I will share the pain with all the others
Wish that I could press rewind
Want to bring you back to life
All the lines you said can’t live forever
I’ll rehearse the best so I remember
Wish that I could press rewind
Want to bring you back to life
I close my eyes
Breathe in deep
Feel you standing next to me
This place just doesn’t feel like home
Without you here I’m so alone.
If it’s true that the lights go down for good
There’s a chance someone else has understood
This world’s so cold (this world’s so cold)
If it’s true that the lights go down for good
There’s a chance someone has understood
We’re not alone

House Of Memories
03:22

As I sit here,
With a dark fear,
In a house of Memories
Of what your mean to me,
And I wonder,
As I stutter,
Are faded pictures all that’s left for me?
But then I see
These walls start talking.
“Close your eyes, don’t ask why, and just let go.”
If I do, I might just lose control.
You’re gone and I know,
That this house is not a home.
This house is not a home,
You’re gone and I know,
No this house is not a home.
Their whispers are the splinters,
Reminding me, the pain that lies beneath,
And makes me weak.
These walls keep talking,
So now it’s time to say goodbye to broken dreams
As we try to save a life with broken wings
These walls keep talking.

Look me over,
And tell me what you find.
My emotion
Is all that’s left inside.
Will anybody fix me?
Will I heal with time?
Is there reason to start over?
Show me who I am tonight.
Just give me life,
Cause I fear my time is over,
Like life has turned its shoulder on my path,
And it won’t last.
The end is coming closer.
My dreams keep getting colder
As they pass,
And it won’t last.
Getting older
plays tricks on my mind.
I see the future,
And there’s no land in sight.
Can anybody hear me?
Am I still alive?
Is there reason to start over?
Show me who I am tonight.
And I'm fighting for a new tomorrow.
I paid my dues and sang my sorrows.
I've been here once before.
Life is just a labyrinth
You must find the open door.

Sleight Of Hands
03:19
|

When the lights go out,
Will you still be standing there?
Or play your tricks just like the others
And let me watch you disappear?
When your time runs out,
Will you stand to face the fact,
When I call you on your bluff?
That your lies are just an act.
I won’t play your games and shape your master plan.
I know that you don’t care that my life is in your hands.
You know that I can’t walk away.
My life is in your sleight of hands, sleight of hands.
When a fight breaks out will you show me that you care?
Or is this just your misdirection and you were never truly here.
When the lies come out and your colors finally show,
No more smoke, and no more mirrors, and then everyone will know.
I picked you up,
You pulled me down,
Your lies are all around.

Time Changes Everything

Where am I?
What is this place?
All I see is gray.
And this feeling,
It won’t go away,
And I’m so afraid.
I’m living in a dream but I know that it's not mine,
Where everyone is gone and they all left me behind.
Tell me where’d you go?
I’m feeling so cold,
You left me alone,
And I’m losing control...
And the pain will not fade away.
I’m telling you my dear
It’s you that I hear
When I’m facing my fears,
And regretting my tears,
And I hope time changes everything.
I’m alone here,
In this empty space,
Where all the colors fade.
It’s so cold here
I can’t feel my face,
And I can't escape.
Like every step I take I am running out of time.
It’s like I’m looking for the light that I know that I won’t find.

Life For Love
03:20

I can’t lie,
Maybe I’m just not that right for you,
That right for you.
I’m trying to, I’m trying to.
You can’t deny,
Baby, I’m just not that guy for you,
That guy for you.
You know it’s true, you know it’s true.
You want me to be someone that I’m not supposed to be,
And you can’t see, the fires fading.
I tried to be so much more than your everything,
But you won’t believe it’s not worth saving.
Because
I’m never gonna give my life away.
Seasons change but baby, I will stay the same.
Life for live is quite a price to pay.
I’m never gonna give my life away,
Give my life away.
You made me into somebody else that no one could see,
just a memory, that no one's holding.
Please save me, this life is a ride worth remembering,
but I feel the strings that you’re controlling.
Another bridge is burning,
And I am learning that things will never change.
So now the tables turning, my life’s returning, and I’ll always stay the same, always stay the same.

Worth The Wait
03:38

I spent so long,
Trying not to feel.
Some time went on,
And my heart turned to steel.
I think I was afraid,
Of being hurt,
From the heartbreak stories I heard.
Then you came along, I fell to the floor,
My heart started beating in time with yours.
Stay forever, stay.
I’d never throw your love away.
Just stay forever, stay.
I’d do what I have to do, anything for you
Now I know,
I will never be the same if I let you go.
So stay forever, stay.
I know it took so long but you were worth the wait.
I was so wrong,
Thinking I could heal.
I hid my scars,
That time would not conceal.
I think I was in pain,
Needed a cure,
From the Heartbreak horror I wore.
Then you came along
And set my heart free.
Now I can't believe you said to me:
Please don’t leave me alone.
I’m no good on my own.
Just a beast in the dark,
Just a waste of a heartbeat.
I know I would survive,
But I know I wouldn’t feel so alive.
Some hearts might break.
I guess that’s the risk we take.

Nowhere to run, no way to hide it.
We know the truth, but do we care?
It’s like we’re numb to all the violence.
We blame the youth, we feed the fear,
We feed the fear.
Are we living like zombies?
Show me we’re not missing a heartbeat.
I stare into your eyes,
Searching for signs of life.
Tell me are we living like zombies?
Living like zombies.
Don’t want to look, don’t want to find it.
We know what’s right, but we just hide.
It’s like we’re numb to the defiance,
We blind the light, we live the lie.
Are we living like zombies?
Show me we’re not missing a heartbeat.
I stare into your eyes,
Searching for signs of life,
Tell me are we living like zombies?
Living like zombies.
Time to wake it up, time to wake it up, we’re not broken we’re not dead.
Time to wake it up, time to wake it up, I just wanna feel again.
