When you realize there's nothing in your control I’ll introduce you to a dark night of the soul you've fallen on your knees, you're feeling so alone Here are a few things I think you oughta know When you find out all you know is a mirage Everyone screaming at each other round the clock Wake up every day to a constant barrage Give me your hand, let’s get the hell out of the garage Just so you know If you’re at the end of your rope With a knife at your throat Listen to me This is a transmission of hope GET OUT OF THE GARAGE
2.
The state has fallen The bombs are dropping Is this really how you want your life to end? The streets set aflame You're reaching your blame Sometimes you just need a friend Give me your hand I understand Another heart that refuses to mend Give me your hand Let’s take a stand Our will’s too strong to break or bend The day is breaking And still my heart is aching/racing Although the road is dark it still goes on Life in a painting That's ever changing Sometimes the darkest colors make you who you are
3.
Just me and fresh cut and Bessie Living out our lives in good company And that's all we need in all honesty Let's face it, we're going nowhere But don't get sucked into some grave despair At least we got this shirt as a souvenir I need to let go Never made it to the after show I'll never do that to myself again I need to let go It's who you are not who you know I'll never let you down like that again So drunk and stuck in self loathing I’m a filthy slob, I’m a fucking creep Can’t you leave right now, so I can go to sleep Some say to look on the bright side But when I go outside it just burns my eyes Forever doomed to a sedentary life
4.
Stand up and deliver Your fate's on the line Time to make a decision Please do not standby Rejoice for the fallen The ones that can't be seen Now history's calling Out to the in between This uncertainty It's bearing down on me Welcome to the new world It's the same as the old But this time we're not buying The lies that we've been sold This uncertainty Is bearing down on me It spreads like a disease Until it's hard to breathe We won't stand by and let this happen Stand up!
5.
You've been Stuck in my head all day So many things that I'd like to say But the graces of god have damned me Can't brave this battleground in the way If the sun can break through the clouds Then a silent voice can scream out "The only thing left to do" it says is "break the chain of self doubt" Choose your own adventure Cause this dream won't wait forever And I’ll choose my own adventure Cause these tears won’t run forever Now I'm down on my knees/luck praying for my head to implode Cuz then at least I'd know (how it all turned out) I’ve been laying in bed all day My better angels have turned away Of all the faces I’ve seen in this life Only one’s made me feel such pain Cuz then at least I'd know how it all turned out (Turned out) The lights on me again Someone I called a friend It's silly to pretend that this is not the end
6.
Pictures of my friends Now Pictures of the dead Hung up on your wall of shame I never understood How you could just pretend That enemies make such great friends Punch me in the face With your declaration There will be no bad blood between our tribes Carrying a heavy load Driving down old friendship rd By houses of neighbors I've never known The only lie I ever told "I don't miss a single soul" But I'd breathe life into old wounds just to bring them all back Read the writing on the wall (woah) We were never here at all (woah) Doesn’t that make you feel kinda small? Take me to a place Filled with brave mistakes Somewhere there's a room for us just how it's meant to be (Whatever that means) Your eyes stare into space As our shadows drift away And the force keeping us together is replaced By the tide of great change We ride on it's waves Until we crash and our bodies get swept away
7.
Keep Hangin' 02:59
If I borrowed time from tomorrow Would I still be left wanting more? At what point does enough become too much? And who's the one that's been keeping score? And I'll keep on hangin' Keep on hangin' Keep on keepin' to unfulfilled destiny Keep on hangin Keep on hangin' Keepin on keepin' cuz they just won’t let me be If you drank water from the fountain Of the youth that never stood a chance And lived your life in total silence You'd die before you ever stand Your father's sins They're just no match For the beast of burden on your back Under duress Your skin will crack As your maker lifts his mask Keep on hanging on
8.
Is there any magic left? Is there any magic left? Is there any magic left in our hearts? I wanna scream Is there something wrong with me? Or something wrong with the way this whole damn place operates? What am I supposed to be In a world that wasn’t made for me? A world where all things false are true Where there's no room for me and you Is there any magic left? Is there any magic left in your heart? Put your passion to the test For what it's worth I believe in a friendly universe One where hope will see you through And maybe all your dreams come true But it’s growing worse With each year that we choose fear and hurt This toxic meal we all consume will lead us to our certain doom Freaking out 24/7 Since we lost the keys to heaven And I know it makes you wanna scream When the magic exists only in your dreams
9.
Time enough for a friendlier place to live Time at last for the space to grow and forgive Forgive yourself For every sin passed down From line to line For every word that doesn't rhyme Don't let's give up When the world's just not enough When the edges get too rough When you don't feel smart or tough Don't let's give up Time will tell if your number is truly up Time still knows when your memory starts to rust Trust in the way The seasons change Leaves turn their shade then dance away You think your time is up But You know you’ve got more to give Time flies by when the fun you had stains your skin Joy fades away To a different plane But the impression it makes always remains
