White picket fences as the airwaves
Move through the land of the free
Apathetic is the world me we live in
While the media keeps us at bay
I'm not interested in safe
Not the same old things
We're the ones who want to shake things up here
I'm not interested in safe
Not the same old things
We're the ones who want to shake things up here
What if we're dreaming that we're dreaming?
Are you feeling that awake?
Twisting our thoughts around the notion
Can you see what I see?
(The difference lies within our means)
I'm not interested in safe
Not the same old things
We're the ones who want to shake things up here
We came here to find a way
Not the same old games
We're the ones who want to shake things up here

How many times should you ask yourself
“What am I doing here?”
I’ve waited forever, lost in song
But I smile ear to ear
I could awaken truth in bliss
But, I am afraid to try
So how long 'til I come back?
We’ve come so far I can’t turn back
We’re getting older and I can’t take you crawling up again
So how long ‘til, how long ‘til I come back home?
Trick the rascal, truth in mind
Now is your conscience clear?
What if it all turned out the same?
Would I still be here?
And what if my words have been misread?
Please open my blind eye
Honestly, you can’t shake me
I haven’t been the one to need
The broken stories
The misery
The lies that carry on
It takes all my strength to frame
An inch into a mile
Cause and effect is all we know
We're building to revile

Against the Waves

Take your burdens down to your mothers’ house
Like the early days, these old memories
You've given to me
A piece of everything, at peace with nothing at all
You've given to me
And she said
Boy, I've been hurt and boy I've been lost against the waves
Boy I've been hurt and boy I've been lost against the waves
The talk of the town, have I lost my way?
I won't let you down, boy I've been hurt
My love won't stray
Paint a longer path, walk on broken glass
Dancing in the rain with no hint of shame
So, take what you need
And see through everything, we gamble to watch the sky fall
Forgiven, you're free
And she said
And my unhappiness is a weight I bear with the things I couldn’t do
And my own happiness is a burden lifted when you first dropped off
Your disguise

A fleeting second is all it takes
For our whole world to shift its place
Even as the days go by
Time stands still and here I lie
Down beside you
Today I feel like I
Will be ok, be alright and I
Tonight I feel like I
Will be ok, be alright tonight
Leave me here and let me be
I'll be alright if you can see
The light that burns inside of me
Will take some time - move carefully
Now beside you
A burning candle lights the way
But flickers momentarily
I'll be here with you through it all
As we stand up there’s a chance I'll fall
Down beside you
I see you lay there wondering
How long you'll be on earth with me
I hope that you can understand
That time will heal, please take my hand
I'll be with you

I am not afraid to
I am not afraid to fall
I am not afraid of
Losing ground
Guarded by these plaster walls
Hiding from each other’s faults
But never giving up on
The ones we love
Drowning out in mass opinion
Lost within my own regrets
In a world of reputations
Am I the only one?
I will make my way
Pushing further every day
To that which I will claim
As my place here in this world
Slowly roam the empty halls
Scattered thoughts and chemicals
As I find out that’s not
How to live
One time the angels sang for me
But not a song of sympathy
More a tune of peace, you see
Yet they let me stay here
We’re on the course for that collision
With a taste of what’s to come
Standing on the edge of vision
I know that I can’t run
I have no regrets
So stay and place your bets
In the search for evidence
I will overcome

The Law

Own the night and paint the sky
Any shade of black is fine
We leap before we look
Breathe in and taste the truth
This is where I draw the line
So stand down my friend
Burn the edge of sympathy
Cauterize it within me
We’re broke by design
Sleep with the lights turned on
And keep the curtains tightly drawn
When you break me down
We're all but ordinary
The law is all but truth
And are you going to carry
What's lost here within me I've found in you

I killed the inception, I baited the truth
I wandered in silence, I waited for you
I followed my heart, did I mention to you
When I traced the path, I started to lose
So long... I've waited on you
So long
Crawling inside of my own self I doubt
the cares of the world will ever run out
Melt into one with the state that I'm in
through cover of silence I feel it sink in
So long... I’ve blamed this on you
So long... I’ve framed this on you
So long... So long
Please don't lose track of the person I was
I won't be afraid, don't be too quick to judge
My heart is still open, it’s ready for you
Show me the path and I'll follow you through
If you say this, I'll come
If you say this
If you mean it, you've won
Do you mean it?
If you say this, you'll come
Should I say this? So long
