I’m a mess, such a wreck / Don’t forget about it / I’d drag myself through the dirt / Just to feel a little closer to the ground / Because I’ve always had my head up in the clouds / Take a second and look down / I’ve got my name on a string / Tangled up in lights despite the fact that they aren’t working / I lay my life on the line / To find a way to be unforgettable /// Don’t fix it if it hasn’t broken yet / Don’t regret it if it hasn’t happened yet / So let’s go a tiny spark to set it off / I’ll explode / Ignite the dark / Illuminate the unknown / But since your heads in the clouds / The best advice I’ve found / Is don’t look down /// Face the facts / You’re a betting man / And the deck is stacked against you all the time / It seems your life is just a failure by design /// Do you feel like / You’re better without it / Cause it looks like / You’re nothing without it /// A tiny spark to set it off / Ignite the dark and live it up

Oh, something tells me I'm never gonna live this one down But I'll try but I'm gonna need a quick hand, A sharp eye, a smooth talker Just to play this one out to the very end. And this is where you come in I know, that I could count on you to walk me through And I'm making sure that everyone who's anyone Can be the someone that they've always wanted to. If I couldn't get away with anything Then how in the hell did I get here? Say something. Say anything. You were never the one to have something to say. Say something. Say something. Say anything. I've seen the best and worst of you But we're sticking through Because without all of the ups and downs We've been through You know that it's true That I could really get sick and tired of you. Oh, something tells me I'm never gonna live this one down But I'm down and out Cause if the tensions light as a feather Then I'd be bored stiff We gotta mix things up a bit to keep up my interest Sad enough to say that Alone I could barely light a match But together we can burn this place down. Sorry about the mess But when we team up, team up We always seem to bring this place to the ground And this is where you come in I know, that I could count on you to walk me through And I'm making sure that everyone who's anyone Can be the someone that they've always wanted to. I've seen the best and worst of you But we're sticking through Because without all of the ups and downs We've been through You know that it's true That I could really get sick and tired of you. [x2] Sad enough to say that Alone I could barely light a match But together we can burn this place down. [x5] Sorry about the mess But when we team up, team up We always seem to bring this place to the ground I've seen the best and worst of you But we're sticking through Because without all of the ups and downs We've been through You know that it's true That I could really get sick and tired of you.

Will I ever know what it's called when I see it? Will I feel like its there when I call? Will I crawl to the end of everything that I've ever known Just to prove I can conquer it all? But still I know that I am just what you needed I count to 10 but still I'm defeated Every time that you turn to go And still I hang on every word that you mutter Bite the tongue and choke out the stutter Every time that you say hello Time rolls on, and still I feel like its already gone It's never too late To keep your head straight Move your hands back and forth in perfect symmetry Live like a time bomb That doesn't have long Go down in history Is there anyone out there? Or am I doing this on my own This time I'm gonna take the world on Bracing for impact Cross my fingers Hope and believe that You'll be right by my side As time rolls on, I feel like its taking way to long I know my days are numbered So I'm making them count I've left those minutes behind me Without a second of doubt

Peel your skin back to show what you’re made of Too bad you never did have the guts to know where your heart should go Sit back and twiddle your fingers Hope that no one else figures out the way that you play the game Starved for attention that alone wouldn’t you fill up So you feed on the weak and you drink up their blood, but someday they’ll turn on you I’ll watch the world go up in flames I’ll strike the match to help you do the same The time is now, tick tock, its ticking away So now I’m here to rain on your parade Take a look in the mirror “Who’s that”? Someone in fear of running out of good places to hide Crawl out from the dark Feel the light hit your face It will never be as bright as the spotlight you crave But watch out before it burns you

Nice To Know 03:45
If I didn’t follow every single dream I’d be left wondering what could be If I were to mumble every single thought I think I’d tie my tongue in knots But I think I’ll give this one a shot Its nice to know theres a place to go And after all the things I’ve said and done Its just nice to know that you’re not alone If you said you’d give me anything I want I’d tell you I’ve already got it all And if once in a while everything was anything but perfect I’d be perfectly fine Cuz you’ve got yours and I’ve got mine Its nice to know that theres always a place to go And after all the scrapes and broken bones Its just nice to know that you’re not alone So wait just a minute, take a second to believe While you’re waiting for the moment remember that time ticks on Remember that time won’t wait for you Everything is going to be just fine

Who Cares 02:51
What’s the difference between the right, the wrong, the black, the white, the weak, the strong? Are you even listening? I swear its like I’m talking to myself Living in my own personal hell Take the lead or find who to follow? Wonder if ill be here tomorrow? Is this really happening? I don’t want to blur the line I just want it to fade away Save it for somebody who cares I don’t want to have to take the reigns and show you how to get there I got more important things to do than care about your point of view Who cares?

They’re rattling inside my brain, getting tangles up in every vein They’re hanging crooked like a picture in a wrong sized frame But if you don’t want to talk about it, I don’t want to talk about it There’s way too many wrongs to right to think that either one of us would land in the black or the white Its hard to keep in bottled up inside But if you don’t want to talk about it, I don’t want to talk about it Sinking like a stone down to the bottom of the river What I wouldn’t give to start over again But since I’m sinking like a stone and theres nothing left to live for I guess I’ll try to live a little bit more Cuz I’ve still got a lot left to say to you Don’t tell me that you’ve lost your touch Just go ahead and let me down again Just for once could you see it through Do what you’ve got to do And let me down again We’ve got so little time to waste Why don’t we just sit back and relax in a place where we both know no one will find us? We’ll just sit here in silence so we don’t have to talk about it

Call out all my demons Tell them I won't take the fall I'm sick of all these headaches From banging my head against the wall I wrap myself in cellophane To blend in to the streets And I won't tell where I'm Hiding until the blood gets to my feet So today I'm waking up to find That all I held inside Wasn't worth it I'm living out my broken dreams I'm flying with a crippled wing And my life keeps on tearing at the seams But I will fall until I find myself stuck in the middle Till I’m stuck in the middle I'm falling into circumstances I cannot control It's stomping out my politics and eating at my soul I cough the dust out of my lungs And spit it down drain I reach inside my head and pull the cobwebs from my brain Cross my heart and hope for the end Look under the boards that are starting to bend Loosen the rope slipping over my head Either I’m free or I’m already dead So take me over Take me closer Is it over? Cross my heart and heart and hope for the end Either I’m free or I’m already dead

Abandon Ship 04:31
Don’t make a sound, it’s time to throw it into lockdown Watch me knock down this mess that I’ve Gotten myself into for a small commission I’ll show you how If you just get off the ground You’ve got to move a little faster To make it out of this disaster Before you get factored out Turn the page another line I should have saved But who’s to say that you would have been blown away Anchor come and drag me down Before I take the dive (I’ll take what I can get) Leave me for dead, I always said you’d find me in over my head Now you can take it literal instead So now I’m bringing it back Anchor drag me down before I take the dive Call off the search There’s been no sign for and days And there’s no way to say for sure If less is more I’m sweating out the fever That’s been spreading on the dance floor Pick your feet up on the ground You got to move a little faster Faster to make it out of this disaster Will you last or will you fall to your knees At first with all the weight of all this pressure I was fine But now I feel like I have buried myself alive Drag me out and push me down But hurry up before the surface freezes over now I’m going to drown I’m going down without a sound Anchor come and drag me down

I got up and made my way to the door And I dropped my conscience on the way out I turned and I looked back down on the floor But my conscience wasn't there anymore So then I got to thinking... Was it there in the first place? Can you read it on my face? Cause I just don't care anymore And I just don't give a damn anymore Why just for tonight can’t we try To keep our ideas burning bright To light our way into the night Just to see what we find? Told everyone I would try to get by But I felt like I was wasting my time I found my way this time So why should I try To stay grounded when my head's in the sky Then I got to thinking... Will they miss me when i'm gone? Will they leave the porch light on? If I can't find home anymore Or will I not have a home anymore? When we go We just live our lives by rock and rolling our eyes At the second place prize Cuz I’m feelin’ lucky tonight And I'll just stick stick stick to the things I know If you'll just quit quit quit quit buggin' me about it baby Don’t tell me that I’m missing out Cuz I just don’t give a damn anymore

To save me would be a simple way of thanking me For one day of living That life that we're supposed to know A life that you would not let go And you're still slipping Come back to me Come back to all of these Boardwalk lights, stronger fights To hold me, to see the way I feel It's the last time that I'll let you hold me again I'm breaking away And I don't want to play your game Your Four-Minute-Mile walk of shame It’s sinking away You've got me on my knees Is that what you want to hear? You've got me, you've got me all wrong A loner, a rebel, too much for you to handle One time again… I'm breaking away

The TV is on and I look around And nobody is watching They've all gone to live their lives I sit down on the couch and I finally start to realize Lately living hasn't even cross my mind I used to live sometimes I walked out the door and looked up And everybody's flying But I can't seem to get up off the ground I stream my eyes to catch a glimpse But they're all off and soaring I guess I'll wait for them to come back down I use to fly sometimes I love hearing 'bout the good old days and “remember when”s You teaching me about love and that there is nothing like a friend 'Cause even though the good old days have came and went I hang on to every word until the end I know that you've sacrificed And did it all for me I hope you know you never let me down I know it wasn't easy to let me go into the world I hope the man that I've become has made you proud I hope you're proud of me sometimes
