"Razor-Sharp Heart"

My girl is razor-sharp
But she's a cut above the rest
She cuts me down to size
To remind me that she's best

Tattoos my heart with ink
The colors never dry
Oh, she makes me feel alive
To the point I wanna die

And nothing ever made a man
Want to take a stand so much
But she crippled me so long ago
So I don't try to budge

Every word she says
Is like an arrow in my side
But she hits the mark so well
That I don't even try to fight

And nothing ever made a man
Want to take a stand so much
But she took away my dignity
Which coincidentally
Was my last remaining crutch

And I miss her so much
With her bittersweet touch
The way she knew the ins and outs of me
And how to break me silently
Yeah I miss her so much
With her bittersweet touch
The way she knew just how to cripple me
Yeah, she could bring me to my knees

My girl is razor-sharp
And she won't let me rest
Even when she's gone it rages on
Like a war inside my chest

But I know she'll always love me
Just the way she did back then
With the same mystique, and bittersweet
Incisions that she left

"Idols and Images"

Idols and images
Tidals of visages
Flooding into your very soul
Value in visibles
Placed onto pedestals
Inside your heart, cast into gold
Oh no

We give away
To every name below
The name above

[chorus]
Glory
Glory
Where glory's due
Glory
Glory
We turn from you

Idols in media
Restless in keeping up
With every fleeting fad and trend
Idols in our own selves
All that we buy and sell
When will our iconism end

[chorus]
Glory
Glory
Where glory's due
Glory
Glory
We take from you

Idealism, in our vision
Giving fame to imperfection
Giving all of our affection away
Give us sight, a new direction
Can't keep traveling in this one
No, no

[chorus]
Glory
Glory
Where glory's due
Glory
Glory
Belongs to you

Glory
Glory
Where glory's due
Glory
Glory
We give to you
We give to you

"Let Me Know I'm Not Alone"

Would you stop the world for me
Would you tell me that you love me?
With the world so full of noise
I just want to know you hear me

Can you calm these quaking seas
That are crashing beneath my feet
I've never known this kind of doubt
Like the waves, my faith is breaking

[chorus]
Why, in all this design
Am I looking for signs in the city lights
The world that is hidden behind
Is all but a dream to me, I've never seen it

Would you stop this heart that beats
After every endless longing
I've chased every kind of wind
And all of it leaves me empty

I want to see mountains shake
See the sky open up above me
Feel the showers and lightning fall
All just to know you love me
When all of the while you're whispering

[chorus]
Why, with the stars in the sky
Am I looking for signs in the city lights
When the world that is hidden behind
Is all but a dream to me, I just can't see it
Now, splintered and bound
Using the only sight I've ever known
Let me know, that I'm not alone

[bridge]
Now, splintered and bound
Using the only eyes I've ever known
Needing your touch, am I asking too much
Crying out for miracles shown
Let me know, that I'm not alone
Cause I know, this is not my home

Would you slow this heart that beats
After every endless longing
When I'm still so blind to see
Your love's simplicity

"No One"

Lights go down
On the world I know
Every ounce of hope gone
And I'm not there
I'm not anywhere
No one seems to care at all

In all of this, hurting

[chorus]
When I had no one
I had no one
I had no one
I don't want to go back

Everyone around me
Seems to have it all figured out
I don't know what I believe now
All the time wondering
Maybe I'm missing something
When everybody's got it all

[chorus]
And I had no one
I had no one, at all
I had no one
And all I needed was a trace of light

[bridge]
Cause nobody cares if I'm here or there
Or anywhere
Nobody shows that they know or that
They even want to care

That I have no one
That I have no one, at all
That I have no one
No one, at all

[chorus]
I have no one
I have no one at all
I have no one now
Help me someone

"Over the Edge"

This is the way it seems to be
One sets up a fault with me
Everybody jumps behind
And follows them blindly

Since when is one man's business
Everybody's business
Let's mind our own business
I think it's time to end this

[chorus]
If you want to be my friend
Then it should be your decision
Lining up in such precision
Lemmings without clear direction
Over the edge you go
Just who's leading where you follow?

No, I am not a perfect man
There's only so long I can stand
Sometimes I fall
When the smoke has finally cleared
I see those who I hold dear
Holding my hand through it all

Jumping sides and changing floors
Make a thought and make it yours
Life is through those open doors
Don't let others decide yours

[chorus]
If you want to be my friend
Then it should be your decision
So tired of the same division
Treating me like a different person
Lining up with such precision
Lemmings without clear direction
Over the edge you go
Just who's leading where you follow?

And I can't stand the things I see
Oh, friend of inconsitency
Time apart is not a wedge
To bring a friendship to its end
But in your heart you've made a pledge
Over the edge

"Broken And Bought"

Face the things that you're afraid of
Find out what you're truly made of
When all the questions come undone
And you finally see the sun

Bursting through, it's not a dream
Looks like nothing that you've seen
But don't be afraid to embrace
The unknown, the unknown

[chorus]
All your life you're told
How to find your soul
Everything that this world is not, I know
You've been broken and bought
Please don't get sold
Men have died and fought
For what these voices stole

Comfort reigns and takes its toll
Stare it down and break control
No, it's never the easy way
But it only gets worse every moment you stay

Nothing gained when nothing's lost
Nothing earned if there's no cost
You've gotta break into stride
If you want to get through this life alive

[chorus]
All your life you're told
How to find your soul
Everything that this world is not, I know
You've been broken and bought
Please don't get sold
Men have died and fought
For what these voices stole

You're taking it back
You're taking it back, please don't give in
You're taking it back
You're only further out if you're pressing in

"Repeat, Repeat"

Out of the nothingness, it lifts
Like an old familiar friend
Feelings that I've felt before
Again and again and again

Grips my heart, it holds on tight
And my thoughts go back to her
I should have known by now
Except the past is looking blurred

Could you help me
Could you help me

[chorus]
I'm tired of these feelings being put on
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat
All I'm looking for is something real, oh
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat

I thought that I was over this
It was so long ago
That the butterflies took to the skies
And finally let me go

But here they lay, ensnared again
And I won't let them out
Of my beating chest, though I try my best
It's a losing battle now

[chorus]
I'm tired of these feelings being put on
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat
All I'm looking for is something real, oh
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat
The things I would never want to have to
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat
Breaking from the cycle, falling victim again
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat

Am I running in circles, running in circles
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat
I'm still running in circles, running in circles
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat

"In The Light Of Day"

The night is falling down on me
Trapped in the walls I build, I see this disbelief
The shrouded clouds that cover all
That keep the light from breaking through where I withdraw

I was made for the daylight
Break me out of captivity
This inactivity, tonight

[chorus]
Where will I find You
Under these skies
Still in the darkness
Open my eyes
My eyes
In the light of day

So hard to fight a stoic life
When all the wrongs are what feel right
The greatest battle that we fight is inside
I'm here, I'm breathing, but I'm still barely alive

[chorus]
Where will I find You
Under these lies
Still trying to fight You
Show my disguise
My disguise
In the light of day

Open my eyes
Open my eyes

In the light of day
