My thoughts are racing like a confused mindfucked wretch Who taught the world about the sunrise to the west Just another empty soul left to her task Why waste your time having all of the common sense Well I have had enough of the same old fucking songs Take your problems And I won't tag along If I told you I was done this time would you believe a word I said? If I only knew that you weren't who you said you were My dignity would not have robbed me blind Is that a lie? Well, you tell me you like helping others so help yourself first Or help me into the denial of your favorite words This is a mess One which I will not cleanse And all I want’s the truth You're lacking something too And now it ends You’re also a shitty friend You left a trail of expectations when you hurried off that night I understand why you cant face me Is it better off this way? Please don’t call or write me this time when you're freshly off my mind My dignity has nothing to do with tonight So if I can forget all that you provide There’s nothing there We'll say goodbye The second hand ticks while the rest of time unwinds There’s nothing left so say goodbye Say goodbye!

Took flight last winter Just to see the snow on the ground As it falls to earth Through everything We are guided wildly throughout this motion picture-like set you built for yourself last fall We are the young ones We lack all reasoning If we claim what they have then we wouldn’t gain a thing Why does the world decide to get involved when we are on a roll? Just because our lives are unconventional We are the young ones Came all the way home Just to see the looks on your faces when you found out high school was a joke We are pushed on eagerly by all the smiles and egos of people we wish that we didn’t know We are the young ones We lack all reasoning When we say what we feel then it doesn’t mean a thing Why does the world decide to get involved and tell us what to do? Deliberate the truth and push their views on you We are the young ones And don’t promise me the waves Cause they can’t reach me where I stand Caught off guard and close to shore What lies beyond trails left in sand Never will I ever try to figure it out My mind’s in such an awful place to paint another piece of the picture plain and obvious to see I think I’d rather have a chance than give up without even fighting for it Time has been so very cruel to me Took flight last winter Just to see the snow on the ground As it falls to earth Through everything We are guided wildly throughout this motion picture-like set you built for yourself last fall

Red dead dead in my sights again I’m thinking clearly then Let me take, let me take One more time to feel again Got it straight, got it straight Gonna say it all again ‘cause I’m right Burning up and I won’t go away One more time can you expect to give it all but to take less? Can you feel the beaten path of crimes untouched, a blackened past See the light for what it’s worth A second chance we don't deserve I won't heal these wounds tonight Fire away and go Lie with every breath you take, but we can see Cold, hard and in your hands, belong to me And we won’t go away So try to walk away If you can feel it now Try and see it now And I can feel it now And every little thing we take is ours Rinse, rinse, rinse Change my faith again I question now and then Everything, everything One more lie to hear again Had all I’ll take, all I’ll take Gonna say it all again ‘cause I’m right Burning up and I won’t go away Mine now! With every breathe we take we take

Take my hand or come with me now What’s the cost of judging that you cannot feel? And I peer through the windy plains with my sense of blatant luck I can control no longer This ship is on its way to hell This is the soundtrack to that beaten path that we’ve constructed I won’t let anybody shake me My life’s been smothered by the rain And I have no one left to blame but it’s all that I can do We all were obviously framed So just take another look at all the evidence in front of you Since when do we control our lives? I’ll travel endlessly ‘til I decide I know everybody’s out to get me Tell me how it feels now to make it almost all the way without accomplishing nearly anything And I know there’s no reason why you’re falling through the outer skies This is the soundtrack to that beaten path that we’ve constructed I won’t let anybody shake me Free falling down My lungs can’t grasp the air out this high I won’t let anybody pass me My life’s been smothered by the rain And I have no one left to blame but it’s all that I can do We all were obviously framed So just take another look at all the evidence in front of you Since when do we control our lives? I’ll travel endlessly ‘til I decide ‘Til I decide We’ll make more of what we have left And try to question why the conclusion is always bittersweet My voice is all I have And I scream until the sun goes down as the rain starts to pour on my head We lost what we didn’t have on a 20-to-1 longshot with a broken back To kill me you must cover your tracks and try never to forget all that we had We lost what we didn’t have on a 20-to-1 longshot, a 20-to-1 longshot To kill me you must cover your tracks and try never to forget

We left our inhibitions standing in the doorway All self-respecting involved left before we came We left before the intake, disparaged and forlorn What reputable members our brothers have become And we are never far from visions formed by thought Such intricate complications What else can be done? Just sit back and wander With what will you achieve? With arms wide open you can hardly breathe Can you hear me when all the sounds start to play? While our minds run wild Just open your eyes With whispers and broken words Turn around or come with me while I protect all I will not let you inside It wasn’t me, it was tonight I won’t let you change me this time (Another chance of another change of mine) I won’t let you drag me outside (At least until tonight still shows daylight) And I still see signs And I can read between the lines And I still see signs I still see signs for miles and miles and miles Well, at least I’m not alone And at least I’ve got a home Step back put everything away Rebuke what you’ve done The truth is never lost Just hopelessly found With everything we have we’ll pull together all our might to prevent what we lack I think it’s limitless to fall for something filled with bliss and remember what it is
