Somebody Call Somebody 03:13
lyrics

Where's your heart? Where's your heart? You washed the dirt off your hands. You licked your wounds. Has it just gotten too loud? Has it gotten too far? Your eyes look tired and your shoulders have fallen. You look so tired-did you forget everything you've done? Have you forgotten everything we've done? Are you that tired? I'm so tired. Do you remember how you strong you were? We could touch the sky. We could break through walls. We could save the world. We were going to save the world. Remember... remember? We were going to see the world. We were going to save the world. We were going to fight the world. Did it hurt that bad? Was the wound that deep? We could live through anything. Where's your heart? Where's your heart? You washed the blood off your hands. You let the wounds heal. They killed you.

Scum 02:34
lyrics

I couldn't care any less, and if you press me the best you'll get is my complete disgust. Just leave me alone. And if this is the best you can do, and this is the best that you've got - It's amazing; you're nothing until I let you be something. I've turned my back on so much better, and walked away so much farther. Turn me around. I hate that you've turned me around. You've got my attention. What are you going to do with it? You'll have to hit harder than that. You'll have to cut deeper than that. You'll have to swing faster than that, you'll have to hit harder than that. Swing hard. Let's find out what you're made of. Because I will hit harder, and I will cut deeper, And I will swing faster, and I will scream louder. I will hit harder, and I will cut deeper, And I will swing faster, and I will absolutely and completely crush you. And I'll hate myself for letting you beat me.

Broken 03:08
lyrics
buy track
He's got a broken voice and a twisted smile, Guess he's been that way for quite awhile, Got blood on his shoes and mud on his brim, Did he do it to himself or was it done to him? People think he don't look well, But all he needs from what I can tell, Is someone to help wash away all the paint, From his purple hands before it gets too late. I saw him stand alone... Under a broke street light, So sincere... Singing silent night, But the trees were full... And the grass was green, It was the sweetest thing I had ever seen. He may move slow, But that don't mean he's going nowhere, He may be moving slow, But that don't mean he's going nowhere.

Save Yourself 03:50
lyrics

Save yourself What if they're all liars? What if they're all monsters? What if they're all thieves? What if we were wrong? Could you deal with that? What if you had to swallow? What if you had to do it alone? What if you had to depend on yourself? Just you, could you? Could you save yourself, could you? Could you do it alone? Could you turn it off? Could you be enough for you? You'll never be enough for them Could you turn your back? Could you? Could you save yourself? Could you do it alone? Could you? Could you turn it off? You've got to save yourself

Famous Last Words 03:45
lyrics
buy track
I'm so tired and something just feels wrong I don't hear anything in your songs It's old new and it never said a thing The same old lines again and again We need to find a way to carry on I'm so tired - or did we just get old? I don't hear anything in your songs When everything is empty When everything is dark When everything is bleak We need a light When everything feels hopeless When everything feels wrong We need a reason to believe Give me something to believe in We need to find a way to carry on Dark days led by darker men Idolizing fools, liars, and whores Hopeless dark days In times like these we need to find the will to fight Stone hearted and stone faced The sons of warriors without a war Built to take a beating, Built to demand more I'll spit venom through my teeth Find the will to look anywhere but the other way To remember what was ours And hold tight to our chests and never let go In times like these we'll carry on We'll carry on When everything just feels wrong And there's nothing to our songs We'll live on

Have You Ever Had A Really Bad Day? 03:04
lyrics

Something's wrong Something broke today I couldn't live with today Can we make it through today? I'm never going to forget today How do we get past today? NO on ever thought it'd be this hard to get through a day We'll put on brand new eyes tomorrow We'll be new men tomorrow Broken but better Stronger while tired Driven and inspired They stole today, But we're still fighting for tomorrow Fed with hope and passion Built from the worst to seek out the best Built for more We're still fighting Something broke today We're the broken We're the scarred How can we make it through? We'll never forget you Never going to forget today We're broken men

Just Like Johnny 03:37
lyrics

Give me strength, give me time, until the day Just one more day than you - That's all I want and all I need Just one more day to get my head together One more day and I'll be through That's all I need; one more day without you That's all it'd take I'll give you a lifetime in return for that day I never want anyone to take it away I'd rather watch it take you away One more day One more day than you - that's all I want and all I need Until that day I can handle anything I can get through anything No one ever thinks about what they have And we never stop thinking about what we want You think you've paid attention, You won't notice until you've paid the price Give me strength Give me time, give me the heart...until that day Left with nothing, realizing you had everything Realize now, embrace it now, I have everything Give me strength You think you've paid attention You won't notice until you've paid the price Embraced it now, realize now, I have everything

The Moment, The Sound, The Fury 05:15
lyrics
buy track
I have memories of the perfection of happier moments That I cling to like a sailor to a broken mast Like t he baby to the blanket that keeps him warm Chewing it over to still the pain and distract him This keeps me same, this keeps me here And these blue eyes, they look at me With the calm and endless depth of love without taint With the trust that I will do no wrong That I will be stronger than the moment, the sound, the fury, and the unknown I have the weight of a thousand decisions, Right or wrong, and the things I believe to be truth They keep me here, they keep me sane In the quietest of places of the heart That is offered no solace but continues to beat For the sake of the joy of the moment, And the firm trust in the tiny hand that grips mine I have seconds when it all feels right But the hope that spring eternally, (Can be) like ashes in my mouth The moment brings me to despair I do the right thing, baby, for the right reasons And all the black in the world can't cloak the light that shines from you

Chances Aren't 03:14
lyrics

I don't believe in the sun or the stars There's nothing written in stone You've left us behind and it's up to us to be better for it Carve your own path and make our awn way We're powerless and without recourse We're at war with chance, And we're better for it We'll hate and love, and fight and bleed And live and die and we'll do it our way You don't get off that easy I'd rather give out than give in I don't believe in the sun or the stars Nothing's written, nothing's stone You've left us behind and it's up to us to be better for it Carve our own path and make our own way We're powerless We're at war with chance and we're better for it We laugh, and cry, (through) the lows and the highs We live and die, , and we'll do it our way You don't get off that easy There is no plan save for our own There is no plan to save our own There is no plan save for our own Life will leave us scarred We'll exist on hope We'll exist on passion We'll exist on fear (But) we'll exist I'm not waiting You don't get off that easy

The Ending 04:19
lyrics
buy track
In the moment when the lights went out on the worst story ever told I could try to describe that feeling but the words just leave me cold I can't find the rhyme, I can't find the reason When the very best part of me was stolen away There are no words but I'm talking anyway Mouth moves like a hurricane with nothing to say All the noise in the world just won't cover it up I can't do anything Can't save you, can't save me Misery and loneliness sitting on my chest like a monster Like a hand around my neck, around my throat There is no word for the hollow anger that I wear like a noose I can't stand still but I can't get up And no words will make this better Time stretched to forever Try to spill my guts, I can't reach you So many memories, so many words But it feels like the tongue has been struck right from my mouth Everything just crowds to the front It's all pushing and shoving, pushing and shoving Burned in my heart like tiny snapshots We wrote it in stone We wrote it in blood Misery and loneliness
