Distant 02:07
Just stay away from me. The Devil's got the best of me and it's all you'll need to know. Just stay away from me. The Devil's got the best of me and it's all you'll need to know. Stay away from me. The Devil's got the best of me and it's all you'll need to know. Just stay away from me. The Devil's got the best of me and it's all I'll let you know All you'll need to know. It's all you'll need to know. It's all you'll need to know. It's all I'll let you know. It's all you'll need to know. I've got to let you go. It's all you'll need to know.

Keiko 03:29
Three years I'll be back for you. I know it's too much time. My dear, it's the best I can do. I promise you'll be just fine. You'll be just fine. Tell me you'll be waitin' at the end. Try to keep it all together when you say "Do you see yourself with me? It's not fair to say that everything is alright. When you're with me you're always runnin' away. This better be the last time. Do you see straight through me? Am I just a dream to get you through the night? When you're with me you're always runnin' away. This better be the last time." You know I can't take the pain from you but you're tuggin' on my line. Taking blame is all I can do. I promise you'll be just fine. Tell me you'll be waitin' at the end. Try to keep it all together when you say "Do you see yourself with me? It's not fair to say that everything is alright. When you're with me you're always runnin' away. This better be the last time. Do you see straight through me? Am I just a dream to get you through the night? When you're with me you're always runnin' away. This better be the last time. Save me. Erase me. Save me. Erase me. Do you see yourself with me? It's not fair to say that everything is alright. When you're with me you're always runnin' away. Do you see yourself with me? It's not fair to say that everything is alright. When you're with me you're always runnin' away. This better be the last time. Do you see straight through me? Am I just a dream to get you through the night? When you're with me you're always runnin' away. This better be the last time."

Wildfire 03:50
They told me not to trust you. Well I wish they were wrong and I've been such a fool. All your lies course through your veins but now I see you inside-out. You lit a match just to watch my world burn. You tried to take everything I love. Just like a cancer inside my lungs. You tried to burn my house to the ground with what you say when no one's around. Spreadin' like a wildfire. You're a wildfire. Alone again and you're wonderin' why. You're so wrapped up in yourself. Believing all your lies. You put the blame on somebody else. It always seemed so upside-down. You lit a match just to watch my world burn. You tried to take everything I love. Just like a cancer inside my lungs. You tried to burn my house to the ground with what you say when no one's around. I want you to know. If you fall I hope the world sees you drown. Forever lost in the depths of your soul. So just go. Take your demons and seek out the day. You fuckin' reap what you sew. You tried to take everything I love. (You tried to take it away) Just like a cancer inside my lungs. You tried to burn my house to the ground with what you say when no one's around. Spreadin' like a wildfire. (Spreadin' like a wildfire) You're a wildfire. (So fuck you) Wildfire. You're a wildfire.

Harbor 04:01
You've been stuck on my mind. If there's a god I guess you're not worth his time. Strike me down. I'm done fuckin' around. What kind of "love" takes a man from his son? I'm not sure what to say. I write it down but then I throw it away. Pressure's on cause you're going, going, gone. I need a song to replace my dismay. I know it's not done but here it is anyway I wish that I could bring you back somehow. And hold you til' my life's upside-down. It doesn't seem right; taking away your light. No this can't be right. Well healing takes time. So damn hard to admit I'm not fine. Hide the pain but it's drivin' me insane that I know a part of me's gone. Now nothing seems real. Got this hole in my heart that I can't seem to fill. Sinking down and I swear I'm gonna drown. I need a song to replace my dismay I know it's not done but here it is anyway I wish that I could bring you back somehow. And hold you til' my life's upside-down. It doesn't seem right; taking away your light. No this can't be right. But I just harbor this regret and I can't forgive and I can't forget. I wish that I could bring you back somehow. And hold you til' my life's upside-down. It doesn't seem right; taking away your light. I wish that I could bring you back somehow. Your mom would die to just see you now. It doesn't seem right; taking away your light. But God wasn't there that night.

Broken 03:18
Another year spent wasting time and I feel so dead now but thats alright. I can't escape what's been on my mind. I'm gonna run far away. I've got nothing to say to you. I've got nothing left to lose. I have nothing. Cause you broke me in two. Yeah you broke me in two. Obsessing over where I should go. There's no way out now; just through I know. This pain will fade in time I hope. I can't just hide my distaste. I've got so much to say to you. And I've got nothing left to lose. I have nothing. Cause you broke me in two. Yeah you broke me in two. Try to forget all the love I felt. And I'd rather die now than live through this hell. I see the guilt in your face. I've got nothing to feel for you. Cause you broke me in two. Yeah you broke me in two. You broke me in two. Yeah you broke me in two.

Fall Apart 03:12
You're the crooked picture on my wall. The one piece of you that I will never lose. I try so hard to find my way back home. I can't ignore my dreams of you. I toss and turn all night and I forever know you're somewhere else. I think of you and I just fall apart. Yeah I just fall apart. And I would hold myself together if I had more than half a heart but I just fall apart. I wanna hold you in my arms and let you move me. I feel nothing now. It's all my fault so I try and try and it's just never enough. It's breaking me down; just pressing me right back to the ground. And I'm falling apart. All alone in the dark just picking through my broken heart and it's just never enough. It's just never enough for you. For me. I'm just never enough. What kind of man would do what I've put myself through? But I remember you. I think of you and I just fall apart. I try to put a number to my pain on a scale of "1" to "what remains." I close my eyes at night. I think of you and I just fall apart. And I just fall apart. And I would hold myself together if I had more than half a heart. And I just fall apart. And I just fall apart. And I would put us back together if you would only let me start. And I just fall apart. You're the crooked picture on my wall. The one piece of you that I will never lose. I try so hard to find my way back home. I can't ignore my dreams of you. I toss and turn all night and I forever know you're somewhere else. I think of you and I just fall apart.

Waiting 03:32
Stay close to me. Erase the cold in-between us. Play back that night I stole the shake from your knees. Asphault and trees. Behind the van I held you were all over me. We shared that kiss and I knew. We're in too deep now. Maybe this just can't last forever but tell me baby, you'll stay with me tonight. And why can't we just piece this back together instead of waiting til' we fall apart and I break your heart again? I won't break your heart again. Think back to when I couldn't sleep so I called you let down your guard. Became the break in my fall. We were so in love. The scent of weed and perfume. Cause I get so fucked up when I'm addicted to you. You're all I need now. We're in too deep now and I'm not sorry Maybe this just can't last forever but tell me baby, you'll stay with me tonight. And why can't we just piece this back together instead of waiting til' we fall apart and I break your heart again? Well maybe this just can't last forever but tell me baby, you'll stay with me tonight. And why can't we just piece this back together instead of waiting til' we fall apart and I break your heart again? I'll never break it again.

What can he do that I can't? You tell me he sees the good in the world and I bury my head in my hands. What can I do to prepare? You tell me to brace for the hurricane cause the end of a good thing is here. Tell me something new. Do you think for yourself or is this your friends that are doing away with me? I'll surrender my love for you. It's all I got but I'll let it go. Try to put my faith in you; You fucked it all up. Can't seem to tell the truth but I see right through. Well you fucked me up too. I see what a theif you've become. You covered your tracks but the lies resonate through these halls. I'm so alone now but I'll get by somehow. Tell me something new. So tell me! Do you think for yourself or is this your friends that are doing away with me? I'll surrender my love for you. It's all I got but I'll let it go. Try to put my faith in you; You fucked it all up. Can't seem to tell the truth but I see right through. Hoping you'll stay here. Please turn him away dear. I'll give you my all. I'll pay the consequences. Do you think for yourself or is this your friends that are doing away with me? I'll surrender my love for you. It's all I got but I'll let it go. Try to put my faith in you; You fucked it all up. Can't seem to tell the truth but I see right through.

Patience 03:45
Can't escape this endless cycle. It won't stop spinning in my head. Every night you somehow lure me right back to this regret. I hold my tongue, you cut it out, and I cant accept. I just can't accept this. You close the window tonight. The cold still settles in. I cover up and you see right through my argument and all the while you'll sit and wonder where I've been. Can't seem to make this go away. this never ending price I pay. And I've got hope for this cause I know somehow I'll see the light of day. And every time I wake I'm thinking of you. Don't leave it up to me or I'll close my eyes for good. Sometimes I wish I could. Sometimes I think I should. Can't escape this endless cycle. Stop fucking with my head. All of my patience is running thin but I can't outrun all of my sin. My heart won't leave cement but I'll say I did. And I take it all you just break it off. Still not giving up. Can't seem to make this go away. this never ending price I pay. And Iíve got hope for this cause I know somehow I'll see the light of day. And every breath I'm thinking of you. Don't leave it up to me or I'll hold my breath for good. I just wish you knew I would. I just wish you understood. Can't escape this endless cycle. It won't stop spinning in my head. Every night you somehow lure me right back to this regret. I hold my tongue, you cut it out, and I cant accept. Why won't you forget? I want to forget.

Walk Away 03:49
I'm at a war with myself. Stuck between loving you and leaving you like you always do. You know it's true. The cap twists off again; Here we go again. Another night alone, Waiting by the phone. Please come home. Come home. Follow through. Walk away. Swear to God, I'll find a way to hate you. Your mistakes cast you away with all the love I gave you. Save your breath. There's nothing you can say to me. So walk away. Hope to God, you don't find a way to break me. Someone save me. Are you bored with yourself? Drunk. And I promise you I'll be leaving you and your pride will too. You know I'm through. The cap twists off again; Here we go again. Another night alone, Waiting by the phone. Don't come home. Come home. Follow through. Walk away. Swear to God, I'll find a way to hate you. Your mistakes cast you away with all the love I gave you. Save your breath. There's nothing you can say to me. So walk away. Hope to God, you don't find a way to break me. (I just want to forget you) Someone save me. When you chose to abandon home, And tore apart a family that loved you. We made a promise that I'd let you go. In due time maybe I can forgive you. I just want to forget you. Walk away. Swear to God, I'll find a way to hate you. Your mistakes cast you away with all the love I gave you. Save your breath. There's nothing you can say to me. So walk away. Hope to God, you don't find a way to break me. (I just want to forget you) Someone save me. (I just want to forget you) Someone save me

Lost 03:52
Blood for blood and what's done is done. A fork in the road with a knife to your throat. You're a long way from home. So save yourself. You pushed me away. I've got nothing to say and I hate myself for turning away from the signs. They're all pointing your way. Have you become someone that you love? The boy turns to leave and asks who will I be? Well you're someone to me; the brother I need. So save yourself. There's nobody else. You pushed us away. I've got nothing to say and I hate myself and everyone else for turning away from the signs. They're all pointing your way. So don't make this hard and don't fall apart now. So black in your veins but you're golden to me. Seduced by the dark. The light's hard to find now and I hope you're fine now. All the times that I've been lost; Thinking I was so far gone. Couldn't find my way out. Try to find something more. Death is knocking at your door. I can't find your way out. So save yourself. There's nobody else. You pushed us away. I've got nothing to say and I hate myself and everyone else for turning away from the signs. They're all pointing your way. So don't make this hard and don't fall apart now. So black in your veins but you're golden to me. Seduced by the dark. The light's hard to find now and I hope you're fine now. I hope you're fine now.

Cement 03:05
You're a mess. I'm a wreck. It's the way we are. Drag you down cause I'm cement weighing down your heart. Let's pretend we're not upset. try to move past these scars. Fall asleep and just forget. Never gonna get that far. This silence is deafening me. Drowning out all that we need. Don't know why we put ourselves through hell to convince us we're not fading. I don't think I'm ever letting go. It's not love but I'm still waiting. You break down. I dont sleep. Talking's just too hard. Hold your breath we're in too deep. Sinking through the dark. Wishing we could turn back time. Try it again i guess? Just sit back and push rewind. Never gonna fix this mess. This silence is deafening me. Drowning out all that we need. Don't know why we put ourselves through hell to convince us we're not fading. I don't think I'm ever letting go. It's not love but I'm still waiting. I don't wanna drag you down again cause I'm around your ankle. I'm pulling you under. Don't know why we put ourselves through hell. Can't admit that we're just fading. Don't know why we put ourselves through hell to convince us we're not fading. I don't think I'm ever letting go. It's not love but I'm still waiting. You're a mess. I'm a wreck. It's the way we are.
