I'm going away
For a little while
Never know how long I'll be gone
But I need some time
To rest my vapid brain
And shut out what's done me wrong
Cause living out there
Is too hard to bear
[chorus]
I could sleep until the stars are gone
And let the world roll on and on
Right now I couldn't care
Cause I don't want to see it
Until truth matches the evidence
Wake me up when the world makes sense
I'll hide in my cave
As long as I can
Not knowing if I'll ever find my way out
But I'd rather be trapped
In a comfortable prison
Than listen to all the uncomfortable sound
Cause everyone's reason
Sounds so alike
And I can't keep going
Pretending I'm right
As it snowballs and snowballs
Builds walls and builds walls
[chorus]
I could sleep until the stars are gone
And let the world roll on and on
Right now I couldn't care
Cause I don't want to see it
Until truth matches the evidence
Wake me up when the world makes sense
Wake me up when this winter's past
Wake me up when just something lasts
Under this space of inconsequence
Wake me up when the world makes sense

"Side-View Mirror"
Looking at me with expectations
In your eyes, that I cannot read
Placing a guideline you hide in the shadows
Holding me down with what you don't see
So what do you want from me
What you think I should be
[chorus]
Waiting for a response
I cannot give
I don't have the answer
To any of your questions
Over again
Your blinding reflection
In the corner of my eye
We all want to see a light
Mouth open wide inside your convictions
So open minded you'll drown in the sea
Over the ocean you'll sail for a while
Then change with the winds while you anchor belief
And the poetry, poetry
Speaking in riddles
Conducting a symphony you understand
All the harmonies, harmonies
You wanted me to sing
Tunes you want to hear, but I'm not in the band
[chorus]
Waiting for a response
I cannot give
I don't have the answer
To any of your questions
Over again
Your blinding reflection
In the corner of my eye
We all want to see a light
We all want to see
[bridge]
When you've so much to say
Of so much that you do
Take your elevations
And apply them to you
Cause I'm sitting here
Not quite sure what to do
But I see what you're doing
From my point of view
And the bitter frustration
When I simply can't find
Where love and truth coincide
Don't want to weigh down your heart
Don't want to lift up your pride
In your eyes, that I cannot read
Placing a guideline you hide in the shadows
Holding me down with what you don't see
So what do you want from me
What you think I should be
[chorus]
Waiting for a response
I cannot give
I don't have the answer
To any of your questions
Over again
Your blinding reflection
In the corner of my eye
We all want to see a light
Mouth open wide inside your convictions
So open minded you'll drown in the sea
Over the ocean you'll sail for a while
Then change with the winds while you anchor belief
And the poetry, poetry
Speaking in riddles
Conducting a symphony you understand
All the harmonies, harmonies
You wanted me to sing
Tunes you want to hear, but I'm not in the band
[chorus]
Waiting for a response
I cannot give
I don't have the answer
To any of your questions
Over again
Your blinding reflection
In the corner of my eye
We all want to see a light
We all want to see
[bridge]
When you've so much to say
Of so much that you do
Take your elevations
And apply them to you
Cause I'm sitting here
Not quite sure what to do
But I see what you're doing
From my point of view
And the bitter frustration
When I simply can't find
Where love and truth coincide
Don't want to weigh down your heart
Don't want to lift up your pride

"Wake The Dead"
Moving ahead full steam
And chasing dreams
I'm wide awake, or so it seems
I'm underneath it
Barely breathing
Now
Giving it up in pieces
But never seamless
Subtracting lines, from old diseases
And you're the only one
Who sees this
Now
[chorus]
I'm holding on by a thread now
My foot is in the grave
So could you wake the dead now
I am unafraid
Cause you're never far away from me
I know you'll set me free
Into the light you lead me
I see you gleaming
I fall but I know, you'll never leave me
So I can stop
This hopeless feeling
Here
[chorus]
I'm holding on by a thread now
My foot is in the grave
So could you wake the dead now
I am unafraid
Cause you're never far away from me
I know you'll set me free
My heart grows cold and freezes
The slope increases
My bones are worn
From folded creases
This sea is ceaseless
Oh, could you free this
I'm a wreck, so help me Jesus
Cause you are the only one
Who sees this
Now
I'm holding on by a thread now
But even miles away, nothing can separate
Me from your love
You'll never leave me
Always redeeming
With your love
Your love
And chasing dreams
I'm wide awake, or so it seems
I'm underneath it
Barely breathing
Now
Giving it up in pieces
But never seamless
Subtracting lines, from old diseases
And you're the only one
Who sees this
Now
[chorus]
I'm holding on by a thread now
My foot is in the grave
So could you wake the dead now
I am unafraid
Cause you're never far away from me
I know you'll set me free
Into the light you lead me
I see you gleaming
I fall but I know, you'll never leave me
So I can stop
This hopeless feeling
Here
[chorus]
I'm holding on by a thread now
My foot is in the grave
So could you wake the dead now
I am unafraid
Cause you're never far away from me
I know you'll set me free
My heart grows cold and freezes
The slope increases
My bones are worn
From folded creases
This sea is ceaseless
Oh, could you free this
I'm a wreck, so help me Jesus
Cause you are the only one
Who sees this
Now
I'm holding on by a thread now
But even miles away, nothing can separate
Me from your love
You'll never leave me
Always redeeming
With your love
Your love

"It's You I Belong To"
Hope burns through the night this time
And kindles into flame
I've stolen all my days from me
But none you can't reclaim
Cause you're never changing
[chorus]
Yeah, please keep me here
It's the only place I
Know that I belong
Now, I face
The fear of losing hold
Of you
It's you, that I belong
I rise and fall again
But I'm not giving in
Cause you'll never fail me
So ready, derail me
[chorus]
Yeah, please keep me here
It's the only place I
Know that I belong
Now, I face
The fear of losing hold
Of you
It's you that I belong
To
[instrumental]
Cause I'm still holding on
To all the lies and lust
I've trusted for so long
My heart is caving
Yeah, I still need saving
[chorus]
Lord, please keep me here
It's the only place I
Know that I belong
Now, I face
The fear of losing hold
But never losing you
It's you that I belong to
And kindles into flame
I've stolen all my days from me
But none you can't reclaim
Cause you're never changing
[chorus]
Yeah, please keep me here
It's the only place I
Know that I belong
Now, I face
The fear of losing hold
Of you
It's you, that I belong
I rise and fall again
But I'm not giving in
Cause you'll never fail me
So ready, derail me
[chorus]
Yeah, please keep me here
It's the only place I
Know that I belong
Now, I face
The fear of losing hold
Of you
It's you that I belong
To
[instrumental]
Cause I'm still holding on
To all the lies and lust
I've trusted for so long
My heart is caving

Know that I belong
Now, I face
The fear of losing hold
But never losing you
It's you that I belong to

"The Resistance"
Crawl in the dark, I feel you
Sing like a dart, I hear you
I know your cries, whispers and lies
The one who sent you
I'll hold fast
To what will last
I see just what you're trying to do
[chorus]
It's obvious, it's obvious
I'm not oblivious
I'm hearing it, and seeing it
You, the resistance
Twisting the truth, I hear you
Misguiding hearts, I see you
Running your parade, you know will end someday
For the one who sent you
[chorus]
It's obvious, it's obvious
I'm not oblivious
You're fighting it, I'm not giving in
You'll battle till the death
Watch all you want
You can't see inside my head
[instrumental]
And I thank God
You're all the proof I need
If I can't see the light
I'll see the dark that's battling
[chorus]
It's obvious, so obvious
I'm not oblivious
Your fighting me, is igniting me
So battle till the death
And watch all you want
You can't see inside my head
You don't know what's in my head
Sing like a dart, I hear you
I know your cries, whispers and lies
The one who sent you
I'll hold fast
To what will last
I see just what you're trying to do
[chorus]
It's obvious, it's obvious
I'm not oblivious
I'm hearing it, and seeing it
You, the resistance
Twisting the truth, I hear you
Misguiding hearts, I see you
Running your parade, you know will end someday
For the one who sent you
[chorus]
It's obvious, it's obvious
I'm not oblivious
You're fighting it, I'm not giving in
You'll battle till the death
Watch all you want
You can't see inside my head
[instrumental]
And I thank God
You're all the proof I need
If I can't see the light
I'll see the dark that's battling
[chorus]
It's obvious, so obvious
I'm not oblivious
Your fighting me, is igniting me
So battle till the death
And watch all you want
You can't see inside my head
You don't know what's in my head

"We"
All of the faces
Full of anger
All these strangers
Making no attempt to see
Go through the motions
Spreading hate
And selfish ways
So hastily
So hastily
[chorus]
We
The problem is me
We are the disease
Beneath our feet
And we're not going quietly
They
We're pointing the blame
Not willing to change
We stay the same
Remain, our own worst enemies
There's always a villain
There's always a tyrant from afar
But never in our own hearts
Looking down at blood-stained hands
Now I finally understand
The problem is where we are
It's who we are
[chorus]
We
The problem is me
We are the disease
Beneath our feet
And we're not going quietly
They
A made-up parade
We're running away
So turn the light around
And see we're all the same
This plague
Humanity
It's in our blood
It's flowing free
The issue's you
The issue's me
But I won't take it
I won't take you down with me
Won't take you down with me
When it's we
It's we
Who are to blame
Full of anger
All these strangers
Making no attempt to see
Go through the motions
Spreading hate
And selfish ways
So hastily
So hastily
[chorus]
We
The problem is me
We are the disease
Beneath our feet
And we're not going quietly
They
We're pointing the blame
Not willing to change
We stay the same
Remain, our own worst enemies
There's always a villain
There's always a tyrant from afar
But never in our own hearts
Looking down at blood-stained hands
Now I finally understand
The problem is where we are
It's who we are
[chorus]
We
The problem is me
We are the disease
Beneath our feet
And we're not going quietly
They
A made-up parade
We're running away
So turn the light around
And see we're all the same
This plague
Humanity
It's in our blood
It's flowing free
The issue's you
The issue's me
But I won't take it
I won't take you down with me
Won't take you down with me
When it's we
It's we
Who are to blame

"On My Own"
I know, that what I'm doing is wrong
And yet I keep on striving for it
Pushing aside all sense
And running even harder for it
Cause I want the satisfaction
Of knowing what I'm worth
When I know it's really nothing I deserve
[chorus]
I can keep asking for help
But when will I really want it
Begging and pleading on my knees
Maybe then I'll really need it
Cause I know I need to change
But I lack the sense to do it
On my own
Is this an endless cycle
Or are these just rivulets
I'll spin around a while
And then forget
Am I breaking free or hanging
On the very edge of it
Clinging onto reoccurences
[chorus]
I can keep asking for help
But when will I really want it
Begging and pleading on my knees
Maybe then I'll need it
Cause I know I need to change
But I lack the sense to do it
On my own, on my own
Repeated defeats
And I am yet clearing
These wide open chasms
Pieces and fractions
Of me, are still waiting
To be, whole again
To be whole again
But I can't be whole
On my own
I've tried every way
On my own
I begging to be better
But I just want to be put together
In the end
And yet I keep on striving for it
Pushing aside all sense
And running even harder for it
Cause I want the satisfaction
Of knowing what I'm worth
When I know it's really nothing I deserve
[chorus]
I can keep asking for help
But when will I really want it
Begging and pleading on my knees
Maybe then I'll really need it
Cause I know I need to change
But I lack the sense to do it
On my own
Is this an endless cycle
Or are these just rivulets
I'll spin around a while
And then forget
Am I breaking free or hanging
On the very edge of it
Clinging onto reoccurences
[chorus]
I can keep asking for help
But when will I really want it
Begging and pleading on my knees
Maybe then I'll need it
Cause I know I need to change
But I lack the sense to do it
On my own, on my own
Repeated defeats
And I am yet clearing
These wide open chasms
Pieces and fractions
Of me, are still waiting
To be, whole again
To be whole again
But I can't be whole
On my own
I've tried every way
On my own
I begging to be better
But I just want to be put together
In the end
