Goodbye
03:33

It’s been far too long
To carry onward
I’m heading down
To my destination
I don’t know how to say goodbye
I’m standing in an abandoned hallway
Watching all of my hopes roll by
Think of all of the ways that something
Never seemed to materialize
Never made it beyond my doorstep
Turn away and I start to cry
All I got is an empty picture...
And it’s all clear
I’ve let my fears in
Would I dare to know
What’s worth living?
Never knew why we said goodbye
But I knew we would get there some day
All the burden I held inside
Causing me to believe in something
I don’t normally say goodbye
But this time I believe it’s coming
The revolution inside my mind
My mind, my mind!
I know what I'm living for
I know what I'm dying for
I know what I'm breathing for
I know what I'm singing for

Smoking Gun
03:15
|

|
I have a complaint
About myself
Waited for years
Too long to tell
Where time has gone
How far I've come
The smoking gun
Is the evidence
Things that I regret
I can't take back
The time I've wasted
On my past
The tired footsteps
in my mind
Will help me find
other avenues
It's all in a smoking gun
The wars I've fought
And the battles I've won
I'm hiding behind the sheets
The scars are pulsating underneath
The smoking gun…
Turn the light switch on
You'll be okay
Trade in tomorrow
for today
And tell the world
You've lost your mind
Set out to find
your deliverance
It's all in a smoking gun
The wars I've fought
And the battles I've won
I'm hiding behind the sheets
The scars are pulsating underneath
It's all in a smoking gun
The wars I've fought
And the battles I've won
I'm hiding behind the sheets
The scars are pulsating underneath
It's all in a smoking gun
The wars I've fought
And the battles I've won
I'm hiding behind the sheet
The scars are pulsating underneath
It's all in a smoking gun
The wars I've fought
And the battles I've won
I'm hiding behind the sheet
The scars are pulsating underneath
The smoking gun…

Lifeline

I'm feeling the pain
of a heart that breaks
I yearn for release
from all this weight
It's on my shoulders
It doesn't go away
It's embedded in the pages
of my soul
The feelings I get
when I'm on my own
they make forget
the way back home
And it's on my shoulders
It's hard to fight the pain
It's embedded in the trenches
of my veins
But it won't be the last time
You'll throw me a lifeline
In the midst of the dark times
Hold on to your lifeline
The feelings I get
when I'm on my own
they make forget
the way back home
And it's on my shoulders
It's hard to fight the pain
It's embedded in the trenches of my veins
But it won't be the last time
You'll throw me a lifeline
In the midst of the dark times
Hold on to your lifeline
But it won't be the last time
You'll throw me a lifeline
In the midst of the dark times
Hold on to your lifeline
But it won't be the last time
You'll throw me a lifeline
In the midst of the dark times
Hold on to your lifeline

Road
03:55

I’m standing in a road
In the middle of a dream
I can’t awake from
Still carrying this load,
And there doesn’t seem
to be an explanation
Is it inside my mind?
Reflecting...
Something I thought was mine?
I’ve been here...
Only a moment in time
I’m hoping...
I never thought I would find
The road that takes me home
Following the signs
even though I’ve never been there...
The life I used to know
Following the sounds
I don’t know what I would find there...
The road that takes me home
Following the signs
even though I’ve never been there...
The life I used to know
Following the sounds
I don’t know what I would find there...
I’m standing all alone
in the hopes that I have reached my destination
The things I used to know
They no longer seem to capture
my attention
Is it inside my mind?
Reflecting...
Something I thought was mine?
I’ve been here...
Only a moment in time
I’m hoping...
I never thought I would find
The road that takes me home
Following the signs
even though I’ve never been there...
The life I used to know
Following the signs
I don’t know what I would find there...
The road that takes me home
Following the signs
even though I’ve never been there...
The life I used to know
Following the sounds
I don’t know what I would find there...
And even though I know I don’t belong
I think I’ve found a home in you
I know for sure that
Even though I know I don’t belong
I think I’ve found a home in you
The road that takes me home
The life I used to know
The road that takes me home
Following the signs
even though I’ve never been there...
The life I used to know
Following the sounds
I don’t know what I would find there...
The road that takes me home
Following the signs
even though I’ve never been there...
The life I used to know
Following the sounds
I don’t know what I would find there...

What You Live For
03:40
|
|||
|
You're alive, I'm alive
We are breathing
Paradise and paradigms
That are shifting
They collide, leave you blind
On the carpet floor
And memories fading in
from the past
They whisper things
Bring up dreams
That were once dead
They make you think
There's the chance
You were waiting for
Starting line, draw a line in the sand
Don't turn away, but watch the way people cross it
They will see and they'll walk through your open door
And leave a mark, if you dare
Try to live as if you cared
Unafraid of what they'll say
And once you're there, you will find what you've always longed for!
What you long for is what you live for
What you live for is what you die for
What you dream for is what you reach for
What you long for is what you live for
What you live for is what you die for
What you dream for is what you reach for
Live as though you
never stopped believing
there is hope of something greater
than the troubles your facing
Live as though you
never stopped believing
there is hope of something greater
than the troubles your facing
What you long for is what you live for
What you live for is what you die for
What you dream for is what you reach for
What you long for is what you live for
What you live for is what you die for
What you dream for is what you reach for

All the Lights
04:48

When we fight
All alone
in the dark
We will never see
Like we have before
When in light
We exist
We may fall
And get up again
On the open road
'Cause even as the road turns
It doesn't really matter
If we leave no stone unturned
‘Cause when you're meant for greatness
Nothing else will phase you
There's a point of no return
All the lights
On my face
As they shine
They remind me of
all I should have been
See the signs
They won't hesitate
To unwind
All the mysteries
That keep you up at night
That keep you up at night
And even as the road turns
It doesn't really matter
If we leave no stone unturned
‘Cause when you're meant for greatness
Nothing else will phase you
There's a point of no return
And even as the road turns
It doesn't really matter
If we leave no stone unturned
‘Cause when you're meant for greatness
Nothing else will phase you
There's a point of no return
Even as the road turns
It doesn't really matter
If we leave no stone unturned
‘Cause when you're meant for greatness
Nothing else will phase you
There's a point of no return
Even as the road turns
It doesn't really matter
If we leave no stone unturned
‘Cause when you're meant for greatness
Nothing else will phase you
There's a point of no return
Even as the road turns
It doesn't really matter
If we leave no stone unturned
‘Cause when you're meant for greatness
Nothing else will phase you
There's a point of no return
All the lights
On my face
As they shine
They remind me of
all I should have been
