Window Shopping

I'm gonna stay up past two
And mend the cracks in the room
With anything that fills the space
Cause I don't wanna leave here for anyone

Maybe I'll go Window Shopping instead
Cause I don't wanna spend a dime
No I won't let them take me for everything

Cause if there's one thing that I've learned
These partitions tend to give
And always come caving in over me

So when the plaster crumbles
And the cracks reopen
I can take my leave
Without an exit strategy

Someday I'll change
I know all this will change
I could only go so long
Loneliness is bound to catch up with me

Until then I'll wait
Learn from all my mistakes
Drawing from a new design
Where everything in right were it's supposed to be

So when the plaster crumbles
And the cracks reopen
I can take my leave
Without an exit strategy x2

If there's one thing that I've learned
These partitions tend to give
And they always come caving in over me
But I've built it from the ground so who knows

When the plaster crumbles
And the cracks reopen
I can take my leave
Without an exit strategy x2

Disarray

Think this over
If you don't it's going to take me under
When I can't afford to be a step down from anyone
That I've ever been

I've known for a while now
This inhibition has got a hold of my every move
It makes me want to step down from everything
I've been trying to be

Disarray, disarray let the disorder come
Just like in California, where I'm from, I'm from
And say like everyone
You know its in me
So tell me why I always disagree, disagree

Doing nothing
Has just as many consequences
I'm sure you know
But failing is the one thing above it all
That drives us away

Its my personality
I know you know it
Do you know what you mean to me
And did you know that you're the one thing above it all
But now you're going away

Disarray, disarray let the disorder come
Just like in California, where I'm from, I'm from
And say like everyone
You know its in me
So tell me why I always disagree, disagree

Better Things

Everywhere you go no matter who you see she's still enticing
She's going to toy with your heart just like a boy on a string
Cause it's exciting

And now you're dying here
You should know why

You're only walking backwards when all you have is right in front of you
Yah it's difficult, sometimes impossible but it's the only thing you can do

It's time to leave it here, go somewhere else
But I don't blame you; you want to keep it here all for yourself

It's not as perfect as you think, so trade it in for better things
You doing so much for yourself so leave her tricks for someone else
To deal with, we're all in the same boat sinking, sinking, sinking
But it's not going down; no we're not going down

It's time to leave it here
No I don't care what they think
I'm going to leave her here for better things

A Vice or Two

I'll strive for the framework of my old life
I have to find a new one, but at least I'm trying am I
So close I found all of the pieces to my scattered puzzle
But I'm just too lazy to put them all in place
Of what
Was there
It's just a vice or two I swear
I'll leave behind

I know I shouldn't come here
Cause it's clear you know what I'm coming here for
And I've said I don't really need this
So I won't, but I know it's gonna keep me awake

We've paid for the promises we've both made
But I'm still expending my last emotions and notions and it's been
So long I don't remember what you look like
But I'm sure it's just right
So I'll just throw down another one and think
Of what
It's for
Its just a vice or two I swore
I'd leave behind

I don't want you to come here
It's not clear, I don't know what you're coming here for
If you're anything like you used to be
Then be sure, you know it's gonna keep me awake
For days, and days

I know I shouldn't come here
It's clear you know what I'm coming here for
And I've said, I don't really need this
So I won't, but I know it's gonna keep me awake
I don't want you to come here
It's not clear, I don't know what you're coming here for
If you're anything like you used to be
Then be sure, you know it's gonna keep me awake
For days, and days
It's just a vice or two I swear I'll leave behind

Train Wreck

Sitting still on this sad song uncomfortable ride
Is pain enough to make the out of place passenger try
To jump the train while it still moves, still moves

Every mile down this one was street is a bust
No where to go but back around again
I keep on looking for a u-turn, u-turn

It controls the air flow
That feeds our soul
And nothing else no

Breath in, believe in
Something else
Not someone

Giving in to the sole end of being a crutch
Scares me enough about the sad place I'm being dragged
It's time to stand up on your own feet, own feet

Every discussion is a sad song heated exchange
Ringing in circles in my ears now I'm certain to quit
It should happen in the first place first place

It controls the air flow
That feeds our soul
And nothing else no

Breath in, believe in
Something else
Not someone

It can't be what you want
No we'll never be
It won't be what you want no, want no
We'll never be what you want no, want no x2

Protege

I'm getting scared of your attitude
Your dissimilated intentions are letting themselves free
So they can make their way towards me
And watch how they circle my every move
Like demons that sit on your shoulder
And tell you what to do
And now I owe it all to you

Yah you were my Protege
And I took you on
But I had faith in you for far too long
For you to let me down

You've manifested my darkest dreams
And left my a cumbersome burden
That made its way past you
Just like it always seems to do

You're so resilient I frightens me
Or maybe I'm jealous that you
Never seem to feel a thing
I want to make my self believe

Yah you were my Protege
And I took you on
But I had faith in you for far too long
Find a new identity
No its not that hard
When you've got everyone around you
To tell you who you are
And now I'm going down down and down and down
You're not going with me

Familiar Feeling

I've had this picture of her
Etched on the inside of my skull
And she keeps on staring back at me
Through some enchanted portal

And no change could ease my longing
No words could sway my schemes
Every diversion feels like wasted time on lesser things

And you all wanna shoot me down
Shoot me down before I run with it

This familiar feeling
Yah its one in a million
You say its ridiculous
I say it could be too

I've had to keep this image
Of her so brash and cold
You'd think she's already deceased
That way I'd let her go

But no ghost has been so lively
No apparition's ever made
Someone so green with envy
That they'd make the same mistake

And you all wanna shoot me down
Shoot me down before I run with it

This familiar feeling
Yah its one in a million
How's it ridiculous if its coming true
Like a case reopen, for further consideration
I had the lifelong sentence but the facts were skewed

You all wanna shoot me down, shoot me down before I run with it x4

This familiar feeling
Yah its one in a million
Tell me how its ridiculous I said it
Tell me how its ridiculous I said it
Oh its a case reopen
For further consideration
You say its ridiculous I say it could be too

Sunset Terrace

Does anyone know the place
Where trouble ends and love begins?
She used to take me there somehow
Does anyone understand
How much I need her here with me?
It's too late, she's gone away
To Sunset Terrace now

Under a paper moon
A blackbird sings out of tune
As wolves dance around the room
She signs the will, she takes a pill
And she smiles.

She always tried to find
The pleasure trapped inside my pain
From her every kiss felt like a vow
I never understood
Why she'd want any part of me
It's too late, she's gone away
To Sunset Terrace now

Under the plastic sun
A carnival has begun
When rain scorches everyone
It's a perfect day
Your head and heart melt away

Under electric stars
Songs play a black guitar
Adrift in a junkyard car
You're all alone
Hang up the phone now and drive.

Does anyone know the place
Where trouble ends and love begins
She used to take me there somehow
Does anyone understand
How much I need her here with me?
It's too late, she's gone away
To Sunset Terrace now

A BETTER WAY

Everything I knew is now a question in my mind
I'm watching pieces of me fade away
All my points of view are from another place and time
My dreams have come and gone, but that's okay

I think I can see a better way for me
Maybe I can get it right this time
Nothing is for sure, but that's okay for me
I'll be fine, yeah I'll be fine

Where are all the heroes that I thought could save the day
A comic book of friends that didn't last
Maybe I'll do better if I turn and walk away
Leaving clouds of trouble in the past

I think I can see a better way for me
Maybe I can get it right this time
Nothing is for sure, but that's okay for me
I'll be fine, yeah I'll be fine

They say I'll fall on my face
Well I might stumble, that's okay
But I think I have found a better way

I think I can see a better way for me
Maybe I can get it right this time
Nothing is for sure, but that's okay for me
I'll be fine, yeah I'll be fine

I think I can see a better way for me
Maybe I can get it right this time
Nothing is for sure, but that's okay for me
I'll be fine, yeah I'll be fine

Cold hands
We are at war
Take the money from his pocket
That's what's in store

You hold me down
You will see
Hundred pairs of eyes
Staring from trees

You fool me once, shame on me
Oh, you say, that we're free

Cold heart
You left me now with nothing
New start
Time to prove that we are something
Wish

White eyes
We are at war
Change a dollar into nothing
That's what's in store

You crossed a line that you couldn't see
And now a thousand artists
Stand tall with me

You fool me once, shame on me
Oh, you set, set me free

Cold heart
You left me now with nothing
New start
Time to prove that we are something
Woah

Wake wake up in the morn
Wake up in the morning
Wake wake up in the morn
Wake up in the morning

You say that I don't feel the same as you at sunrise
It's true that I can't see the pain and hurt in your eyes
And oh, the lights are leaving me cold
'Cos I can't feel them

Give me a reason why the stars should always shine
Give me a reason and we'll leave this all behind

And so I know the day will always end
So I close my door and see the darkness as my friend

Give me a reason why the stars should always shine
Give me a reason and we'll leave this all behind

Yeah we'll leave it all behind
Yeah we'll leave it all, we'll leave it all behind
Yeah we'll leave it all, we'll leave it all behind
Yeah we'll leave it all, we'll leave it all

Give me a reason why the stars should always shine
Give me a reason and we'll leave it all we'll leave it all
Give me a reason why the stars should always shine
Give me a reason an we'll leave we'll leave it all behind

We'll leave it all behind
And come back one day to find
Nothing's changed at all
We'll leave it all behind
And come back one day to find
Nothing's changed at all

I used to walk so tall
Laughing and running straight at the sun
I liked the burn
I used to think so small
I sowed the wild and grew from a child
Just to learn

I could lie forever, sleep through my season in the sun
I feel the ticking of the clocks and
I won't miss my time at all

You used to think so small
Doubting the ones who brought you here
Until you learned
Now you stand so tall
Laughing and running next to the sun
You hug the turns

I could lie forever, sleep through my season in the sun
Hope you shatter every record
I will miss you most of all
Lie forever, sleep through 'til my season ends
I will miss you, I will miss you

I ALWAYS KNEW

Emptiness
To be alone may be the price that I have paid
Foolish
I should've told you but I guess I was afraid

I blame myself
Should've cherished you, not let you go
I'm the one
Who was meant for you
Deep down in my soul

I ALWAYS KNEW
We belong together
I ALWAYS KNEW
We could claim one heart

Love
I didn't understand the meaning of it all
Broken dreams
We climbed so high I was afraid that we would fall

Letting go
Was an obstacle I left to fate
Now I know
That it's possible
Hope it's not too late

I ALWAYS KNEW
We belong together
I ALWAYS KNEW
We could claim one heart

Come be my miracle and save me
Please melt this heart of ice
I'll make the sacrifice for you

Something To Believe In

How do you know
When there's something missing
Where do you look
When you don't know what you're looking for
I don't know why I even try to fill this empty feeling
I need a sign to help me find the open door
Because I know there must be more
Chorus:
I'm searching for something to believe in
I'm dreaming everything that's lost will be found
I'm searching for something to believe in
And someday I'll find my way and turn this all around
Ohhh ohhh ohhh
When is it time
To move ahead or give it up
Why do I care
Is it everything they say it is
Inside my mind the more I try
The world is so confusing
I need a sign to help me find the way it is
Because I know there must be more
Chorus
Ohhh ohhh ohhh

Dead Poet

With all the broken windows and testimonies
You're the last thing that we need
Making senseless noises, over several passes
Hurling insults on the lawn
Literally

Another incident in too short a time
We're still the victims of the same disposition
With too much to learn, but not enough to prove
You're both desperate for a scapegoat
Within your reach

Cause there's no doubt to shed
On this positive description
The defense can rest

To say you're insecure, it's an understatement
I'm ashamed to say I'm scared
But you're the dangerous kind with that growing impulse
To take it out on someone
Come and chase us till you find us
Block us off, now we're surrounded
What's the reason? What's the purpose?
I don't care

Cause there's no doubt to shed
On this positive description
The defense can rest
We're done with you
Are you done with me too?

Why can't you agree just to disagree
It's always your way
If I don't agree, if I disagree
It's just the wrong way
No one wants to be around you
They want to think their own way

Cause there's no doubt to shed
On this positive description
The defense can rest
We're done with you
Are you done with me too?

QUIET REVOLUTION

I walk these lonely streets
Night after night
Don't need no company
Cuz I ain't feeling right
Maybe she was mad at me
Or was she mad at the world
All I know is I'm alone
And I miss that girl

I'm having a quiet revolution
Inside my head
And there's no way to kill the pain
No use trying to raise the dead
Here in my confusion
I seek absolution
In my quiet revolution

I should be moving on
Set myself free
But I can't let go of her
And she won't let go of me
Maybe someday the sun will shine
And clouds will disappear
Until that day has come and gone)
I'll still be here

Having a quiet revolution
Inside my head
And there's no way to kill the pain
No use trying to raise the dead
Here in my confusion
I seek absolution

IS IT TOO LATE

Some words are better left unsaid it's said
But in this case that's not true
No one can ever really change the past
Or the way I treated you
Some words might've changed things, that now I can't undo
Hey, can you hear me, I'm trying to get through, but...

Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you
Is it too late
Is it too late to say.... what I

Wanted to tell you for a long time now
How much I always cared, and yet
My pride and fear got the best of me, somehow
I just managed to forget
When I came across the words, I lost them, now I've found them again
Will you understand now what I should've said then

Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you
Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you
Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you

Solo

Some words might've changed things, that now I can't undo
Hey, can you hear me, I'm trying to get through,
I've tried everything I could to say it's for the best
I stand here holding nothing, just these words are left

Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you
Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you
Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you

I'M SORRY

We live in a little room in a little house
In a small town
And that's alright with me
But what holds me up just holds you back
'Cause you see a bigger world
That's full of possibilities
I didn't mean to play it safe
And rain on your parade

I was wrong, you were right
I can see the other side
Didn't mean to start a fight, I'm sorry

I was tired, half asleep
When you shared your dreams with me
And if it seems I don't believe. I'm sorry

You say the walls are closing in and you can't breathe
It's sink or swim
You need to spread your wings
Well I'm afraid of what you see, the way you think
That things could be
And what tomorrow brings
Sometimes when I think too much
I fall out of touch

I was wrong, you were right
I can see the other side
Didn't mean to start a fight, I'm sorry

I was tired, half asleep
When you shared your dreams with me
And if it seems I don't believe, I'm sorry
Yeah I'm sorry

I'm like a deer caught in the headlights
When the future looks so bright

You say the walls are closing in and you can't breathe
It's sink or swim
You need to spread your wings

I was wrong, you were right
I can see the other side
Didn't mean to start a fight, I'm sorry

I was tired, half asleep
When you shared your dreams with me
And if it seems I don't believe, I'm sorry

I was wrong, you were right
I can see the other side
Didn't mean to start a fight, I'm sorry

I was tired, half asleep
When you shared your dreams with me
And if it seems I don't believe
I'm sorry, yeah I'm sorry

I was tired, half asleep
When you shared your dreams with me
I was wrong, you were right, I'm sorry

We live in a little room in a little house
In a small town

HAPPY LIFE

I got a house in the country
Three cars in the stall
My girlfriend she loves me
Yeah she's no trouble at all
But I, I ain't satisfied, no

Got lots of money in my pocket
Everything's goin' right
I know I really can't complain
'Cuz my future's looking bright
But I....'m never satisfied

Is there something wrong with me?
Maybe something's wrong with me
There must be something wrong with me
To feel the way I do

Everyone wants to live a happy life
Everyone wants to live, yeah a happy life
Everyone wants to live a life
Where nothing comes and goes too fast
The good times always last and last and last

I hang out with the best crowd
Hang between the lines
People ask me how I am
I say I'm doin' fine
But I, I ain't satisfied, no no

Is there something wrong with me?
Maybe something's wrong with me
There must be something wrong with me
To feel the way I do

Everyone wants to live a happy life
Everyone wants to live, yeah a happy life
Everyone wants to live a life
Where nothing comes and goes too fast
The good times always last and last and last

Na, na, na, na
A Happy Life
Na, na, na, yeah
A Happy Life
Oooo
Yeah, a happy, happy life

Everyone wants to live a happy life
Everyone needs to live a happy life
Everyone wants to live a life
Where nothing comes and goes too fast
The good times always last and last

Some days I open my eyes
But I can't see, darkness everywhere all over me
I reach out with my face in my hands
Try and tear free but the blackness keeps covering me

I don't want it
I don't need it
Don't know why but it won't let go
I don't want it
I don't need it
Don't know why but I can't let go

So I drink dark liquid down
And I breathe, sleep
Breathe, sleep, peace

I'm a happy guy, dangerously calm
In this world I try
Dark is everywhere tormenting me

I don't want it
I don't need it
Don't know why but it won't let go
I don't want it
I don't need it
Don't know why but I can't let go

So I drink dark substance down
And I breathe, sleep
Breathe, sleep, peace

Something's gotta give in a life that's so pure
Every day we swallow it down
Wait and put all that hate that's around
How's it gonna ever gonna get out

So I drink dark substance down
And I breathe, sleep
Breathe, sleep, peace

Kaila's on, she's on my bed
She grabs the rope and sews the thread
While she seems ok
I wan't love and everything

Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything

We are both wet to our toes
Kaila shows red undertones
Oh, oh this can't be
She might die from intimacy

Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything (just love assassination)

Show me the way
Everything
This wild display
Ah

We are high
We are low
We won't stop
Until we get what we came here for

Then you break
And you bleed
And your legs slowly paint the floor

We were high
You are low
Now I shoulder you through the car door

I will shake
You won't breathe
And I scream
God must not be watching over me

I won't be the same
I'm the one to blame
Buried down below
It won't be long
Till flowers start to grow

Speak to me
But you're not talking anymore
Lay with me
Within 6 feet of your marble stone

The world just keeps on getting small
The road ahead ain't like the old ones
They held on to our hands too long
And then expected us to know how to walk

CHORUS:
But we're not taking the fall again
We're blowing it all to bits
We've been dealt a heavy hand
But we'll stay strong

Oh

We're not taking the fall again
Not gonna break or bend
Our time has come
We'll stay strong
We're not taking the fall

Can't find the captain of this ship
Abandoned with no sign of rescue
We're left to clean up all this mess
Gonna start by breaking all the old rules

CHORUS

head today

And It's madness, it's madness

I wish it was, so easy
As they try, try to tell me now
But this darkness keeps creeping
And it's hard not to spiral down

CHORUS

But I don't wanna live like this
No one should ever live like this
No I don't wanna live like this

It's not my choice to be like this
I don't wish it on my enemies
This voice, this sickness
Has consumed every part of me

CHORUS

All out
We'll never regret it
So shout it out loud
Never come down
It's in the air
There's something in the air
There ain't no doubt
Can you feel it all around here

CHORUS

Tell me can you feel it
It's all around can you feel it

CHORUS

Still haven't found destination
Going round and round with a battle in my head
Going round and round with a battle in my head

CHORUS

CALM & CHAOS

COMFORT COMES
IN THE MIDST OF ALL THE MADNESS
MY MIND RUNS
FROM THE SOLITARY SADNESS
I WON'T TRY
TO LOOK FOR SENSE ON THE HORIZON
NO I WON'T TRY

CHORUS:
SO SAVE ME FROM THE CALM
GIVE ME CHAOS

CUZ IN THE CHAOS
THE PAIN DON'T STAND A CHANCE AT ALL

NO WAY OUT
JUST A SAVAGE ROAD TO NO WHERE
CHASING DOWN
DISTRACTION FROM THE DESPAIR
I DON'T TRY
TO LOOK FOR SENSE ON THE HORIZON
I DON'T TRY

CHORUS

CHORUS

GIVE ME CHAOS
