Only A Dream 02:26

Into the wild Abandoned, alone Cast out by everything that I know The chill of the night Forever my home By light of the moon, I stand on my own Say you’ll be there just as you hold me down Lead me to water just to watch me drown I don’t need you anymore Guess I’m gonna do it by myself this time And walk away standing tall You’ll see, that my fire’s still alive I will never fall Yes, I’m gonna do it by myself this time And in everything I do You’ll find me on the rise, I know I will not need you! The strength to endure The will to survive Releasing the beast I’ve held up inside Chaos the feed for this eternal vow I’m taking the lead—no one can stop me now! I don’t need you anymore! Guess I’m gonna do it by myself this time And walk away standing tall You’ll see, that my fire’s still alive I will never fall Yes, I’m gonna do it by myself this time And in everything I do You’ll find me on the rise, I know I will not need you! Fall out! Break down! Old self dies (Feel the change deep down inside) Wake up! Break out! Born to rise (Feel the change deep down inside) Shake up! Take down! All I’ve known (Feel the change deep down inside) Wake up! Break out! Everywhere I roam!

HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! Something isn’t right Stuck in disarray And all the world is turning gray Although she lets you hold her tight She’ll lead you to the fray And make your whole world go astray And you will pay, okay? I bet she’ll get her way I bet she’ll run away at just the thought she’s got to stay I’d say no way, okay? Watch out for the betray You’d better run away, you’d better run away Yeah! She’s a heartache collector She won’t let nobody get her She’s a love-faker, heartbreaker Can’t escape her, God forsake her Never gonna ever let you go HEY! HEY! Everybody knows She can make you high And make you plummet from the sky this time And even when she goes She will still supply A way to make your world awry Inside your mind—but why? She’ll look you in the eye She’ll feed you with a lie And then she’ll leave you hanging dry And you comply, but why? You know it’s do-or-die You’d better say goodbye, you’d better say goodbye Yeah! She’s a heartache collector She won’t let nobody get her She’s a love-faker, heartbreaker Can’t escape her, God forsake her Never gonna ever let you go Hear her calling from cloud nine (From cloud nine) So enthralling, so divine (So divine) Hoards come crawling, see them falling Let her go or get in line Heartache collector Let nobody get her Love-faker, heartbreaker Can’t escape her, God forsake her Never gonna ever let you GO! GO! GO! She’s a heartache collector She won’t let nobody get her She’s a love-faker, heartbreaker Can’t escape her, God forsake her Never gonna ever sever Always gonna be the better Will regret her, can’t forget her Never, never, never, never Heartache collector HEY! HEY! Never gonna ever let you go

Reverie 02:49
I find it hard to get up out of bed And lift my head Because my dreams are always better My dreams are always better now Waking life got me going out full of dread I’ll sleep instead Because my dreams are always better My dreams are always better now That you’re gone I can’t tell anymore Whether it’s days or years gone by I can see the clock is changing But I can’t sense the change in time How can I face the world When every place is just a memory? You’re everywhere, you’re everything While I’m stuck in this reverie I find it hard to get up out of bed And lift my head Because my dreams are always better Dreams are always better My dreams are always better now Waking life got me going out full of dread I’ll sleep instead Because my dreams are always better Dreams are always better My dreams are always better now That you’re gone I can’t see into the future But this one thing’s clear: Every waking moment would be better If you were still here I find it hard to get up out of bed And lift my head Because my dreams are always better Oh, my dreams are always better now Waking life got me going out full of dread I’ll sleep instead Because my dreams are always better Dreams are always better My dreams are always better now Yeah! I find it hard to get up out of bed And lift my head Because my dreams are always better Dreams are always better My dreams are always better now Waking life got me going out full of dread I’ll sleep instead Because my dreams are always better Dreams are always better My dreams are always better now That you’re gone That you’re gone My dreams are always better now That you’re gone

Last Breath 05:40
Led by the stars, and sails to the breeze We voyaged out upon the wicked seas In fair weather blows a sudden change of heart So will we sink together Or apart? Washed away... Treasure this one last breath... You can take it out on me But you cannot change I don’t feel this pain you’re speaking of The page is turning The water is churning We were stranded on the sea of love And we sank Yeah, and we sank Come to and hold all the words we say We couldn’t fathom how we’d ever end up this way With every swell we capsize; in every wave we roll Jump in and close your eyes, and let go Washed away... Treasure this one last breath... It might be our last until death do us part... You can take it out on me But you cannot change I don’t feel this pain you’re speaking of The page is turning The water is churning We were stranded on the sea of love And we sank So set adrift our hopes and dreams A derelict of you and me Away with everything we know Into the deep abyss we go You can take it out on me But you cannot change I don’t feel this pain you’re speaking of The page is turning The water is churning We were stranded on the sea of love And we sank And we sank, yeah-yeah And we sank!

Sidewalk 06:14
My confidence broken My life is a wreck My passion is a clog in the drain I'm overwhelmed by your Requests and your ignorance You are the cause of this pain You use me, abuse me You lie and confuse me You crawl in and poison my brain I have become undone The human sidewalk, oh-oh Rely on me But when I fall, just walk by The path that you tread Those prints on my head You're making a fool out of me Someday I'll rise and be free So useless, dejected My thoughts get rejected My patience will soon be all gone Unwanted, pathetic Fatigued by your insolence Somehow I knew all along You showed me that light When all hope seemed to die But your motives are backwards and wrong I have become undone The human sidewalk, oh-oh Rely on me But when I fall, just walk by The path that you tread Those prints on my head You're making a fool out of me Someday I'll rise and be free I have become undone The human sidewalk, woah-oh Rely on me But when I fall, just walk by The path that you tread Those prints on my head You're making a fool out of me Someday I'll rise and be free

They chewed us up and spit us out They tried to fill our minds with doubt We made it through together We got through stormy weather And it doesn't matter Because the past is far behind us now Just look at where we are We've come so far When they tried to bring us down We stood our ground and found a Strong connection We've come so far And the end, it isn't near us It won't steer us in the Wrong direction The path we chose flipped upside-down But thanks to hope, we still turned out Don't worry if there's problems We'll help each other solve them And if they laugh, we'll ROCK them And they won't know what hit them to the ground Just look at where we are They said that we couldn't make it But we just couldn't take it We gave it our best shot Now look at what we've got We've come so far When they tried to bring us down We stood our ground and found a Strong connection We've come so far And the end, it isn't near us It won't steer us in the Wrong direction TWO! THREE! FOUR! Yeah! They said that we would not last That we were on a decline But I believe that we have Shown them this time To say the least, we got past And left the rest all behind Since up is where we're going We should start right now Yeah! Just look at where we are We've come so far When they tried to bring us down We stood our ground and found a Strong connection We've come so far And the end, it isn't near us It won't steer us in the Wrong direction

I've been walking Down this long and lonesome hallway For what seems to be at least a million years And I can't help but wonder Do you ever see things my way? Where it's you and me through happiness and tears Oh, I could save you from your darkest fears But you don't get to see The lovin' side of me, lovin' side of me And you don't seem to know All the places we could go If you could be The one beside me, the one beside me Then I could show you all there is to show Just let me know I've been searching For the words that I should say Would it be alright if I tell you how I feel? (How I feel) I see you as you are But my feelings are tucked away This love I hide inside, could this be real? Oh, this love I hide inside is very real But you don't get to see The lovin' side of me, lovin' side of me And you don't seem to know All the places we could go If you could be The one beside me, the one beside me Then I could show you all there is to show Just let me know Just let me know, yeah Yeah, I know I act like someone else When you're around, I can't help myself It seems so hard to carry on When my heart's up and gone But you don't get to see The lovin' side of me (lovin' side of me) And you don't seem to know All the places! If you could be The one beside me, the one beside me Then I could show you all there is to show Just let me know Just let me know The lovin' side of me Take my hand, you'll see, yeah!

What happens to your mind At the end of your final day? Does it up and disappear Or does it find a place to stay? Because the end could be near It’s been a hell of a year It’s been a hell of a life Of always being afraid, and Deep down inside I think That it’s only a dream That the weight of the world Ain’t my reality, ‘cause I’m tired of trying And of trudging along I just wanna wake up Because I feel… So gone! Stranded in this nightmare for so long! I cannot be saved by anyone! I cannot be saved! I can’t recall the last time When I felt alive When I could show off a smile And really feel it inside See, I’m dragging the chains Of my shame and my pain And yet I try to maintain That I am not insane! I struggle, I fight I kick and I scream But I don’t have the strength To break out of this dream It’s so heavy; I’m worthless And I don’t belong Get me out of this place! So gone! Stranded in this nightmare for so long! I cannot be saved by anyone! I cannot be saved! So save me! So gone… Stranded in this nightmare for so long… I cannot be saved by anyone… I cannot be saved… Oh, I cannot be saved… By anyone…
