I've seen the ocean floor
Tried keeping myself down
Amount to nothing more
Just waiting to be found
Call it what you will
The storms that I'm still facing
Catching the air and still
I've got no foundation
[chorus]
Be my anchor
Cause I know that I get torn
Like the sails tied to a mast
When I go crashing through this storm
I've tried to call the shots
I've tried to shut you out
When you are all I've got
All that's holding me down
Cleaved to my own breath
That's caught inside my throat
Believed my washed up life
May be my only hope
[chorus]
But be my anchor
Cause I know that I get torn
Like the sails tied to a mast
When I go crashing through the storm
Be my anchor
Cause I don't wanna drown
While I dream to see the shore
Oh, for my feet to touch the ground

"Don't Let Yourself Fall"
You've seen the power, you've seen the glory
But you tell yourself a different story
Build your walls to cover all bases
You've made it clear you don't want to face this
Keeping your head while keeping safe distance
Knowing you could lose it all in an instant
But you're fighting sense with pride from now on
Counting the days till you're finally gone
[chorus]
And oh,
Don't let yourself fall, let yourself fall
Oh, you've been waiting for miracles
And oh,
The choice has always been your own
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
You've been on fire, been underwater
Waves of emotion, flames burning hotter
Take that ignition, fuel it with passion
Love at the forefront, let's see some action
You've been in waiting, in hibernation
Falling asleep at the wheel of salvation
Time to wake up, you've got all you need
Given redemption, go make them see
[chorus]
And oh,
Don't let yourself fall, let yourself fall
Oh, you've been waiting for miracles
And oh,
The choice has always been your own
Oh, what are you waiting for?
Wake up from this place you've been
Too afraid to make some friction
I've seen you out loud, your fists in the air
Ready for action, let's take it back there
[instrumental]
[chorus]
And oh,
Don't let yourself fall, let yourself fall
Oh, you've been waiting for miracles
And oh,
The choice has always been your own
Oh, no you're not a lost cause
Never
But you tell yourself a different story
Build your walls to cover all bases
You've made it clear you don't want to face this
Keeping your head while keeping safe distance
Knowing you could lose it all in an instant
But you're fighting sense with pride from now on
Counting the days till you're finally gone
[chorus]
And oh,
Don't let yourself fall, let yourself fall
Oh, you've been waiting for miracles
And oh,
The choice has always been your own
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
You've been on fire, been underwater
Waves of emotion, flames burning hotter
Take that ignition, fuel it with passion
Love at the forefront, let's see some action
You've been in waiting, in hibernation
Falling asleep at the wheel of salvation
Time to wake up, you've got all you need
Given redemption, go make them see
[chorus]
And oh,
Don't let yourself fall, let yourself fall
Oh, you've been waiting for miracles
And oh,
The choice has always been your own
Oh, what are you waiting for?
Wake up from this place you've been
Too afraid to make some friction
I've seen you out loud, your fists in the air
Ready for action, let's take it back there
[instrumental]
[chorus]
And oh,
Don't let yourself fall, let yourself fall
Oh, you've been waiting for miracles
And oh,
The choice has always been your own
Oh, no you're not a lost cause
Never

"Almost Home"
There was a lot of motion
Without really moving anywhere
Going through the motions
And all the time unaware
There were a lot of feelings
Misplaced in the empty air
A false sense of comradery
Come to find no one really cared
Cause I am not an army of one
I can't do this on my own
Didn't know I was so hard to love
So I'll go home, yeah I'll go home
[chorus]
If this is what you wanted
I'll never know
But no one breaks the silence
So I guess I'll go
I gave you all I had
And I've got nothing to show
Just wish I didn't put so much into
An almost home
Walked out on my birthday
Said goodbyes to everyone
Head of complex emotions
As I stepped out into the sun
Bright and clear, like I'd never seen
Such a beautiful sight before
A breath, and everything ahead of me
Don't have to feel that anymore
Cause I am not an army of one
Why do I feel all alone
Didn't know I was so hard to love
So I'll go home, yeah I'll go home
[chorus]
If this is what you wanted
I'll never know
But no one breaks the silence
So I guess I'll go
I gave you all I had
And I've got nothing to show
Just wish I didn't put so much into
An almost home
The days went on, I heard the words that spread
Talking 'bout me like I was dead
All the words I never heard,
I hear these ones instead
The way they sing inside my head
What I thought was thick-skinned
I see were coats so heavy
Beneath the wool, I couldn't pierce
There were fangs there at the ready
Brothers and sisters turned to strangers
But there's no reward in anger
So I'll sit and wait and hope, and watch and groan
And keep thinking
That I'm almost home
Yeah, I'm almost home
[instumental]
Yeah, I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Without really moving anywhere
Going through the motions
And all the time unaware
There were a lot of feelings
Misplaced in the empty air
A false sense of comradery
Come to find no one really cared
Cause I am not an army of one
I can't do this on my own
Didn't know I was so hard to love
So I'll go home, yeah I'll go home
[chorus]
If this is what you wanted
I'll never know
But no one breaks the silence
So I guess I'll go
I gave you all I had
And I've got nothing to show
Just wish I didn't put so much into
An almost home
Walked out on my birthday
Said goodbyes to everyone
Head of complex emotions
As I stepped out into the sun
Bright and clear, like I'd never seen
Such a beautiful sight before
A breath, and everything ahead of me
Don't have to feel that anymore
Cause I am not an army of one
Why do I feel all alone
Didn't know I was so hard to love
So I'll go home, yeah I'll go home
[chorus]

Yeah, I'm coming home
I'm coming home

"Lost Somewhere Along The Way"
Lately I've been feeling split
In where I'm at and who I've been
Want to stand and be the man I am
While the wide-eyed boy still lives within
There's things I do that I don't want
And things I want that I don't do
Like my dreams have fallen by the wayside
While my nightmare's do come true
[chorus]
On and on I stake the course
And on and on I make my way
Through the trial and discourse of my life
Through the crystal nights and cloudy days
I don't want to lose myself
With everything I give away
Is there a shred of me still left inside
Or was it lost somewhere along the way
Lately I've got lots to say
Things I never would have in the day
Opinions move, opinions sway
Am I being loud or being brave?
And I don't want to lose the course
Want to wade the steady stream of faith
When the rivulets of new concerns
Get wide and try to carry me away
[chorus]
On and on I stake the course
And on and on I make my way
Through the trial and discourse of my life
Through the crystal nights and cloudy days
I don't want to lose myself
With everything I give away
Is there a shred of me still left inside
Or was it lost somewhere along the way
Destiny is swallowed whole
By a tattered change of scenery
When we grow old and start to fold
Compromise becomes uncertainty
And I don't want to walk that road
Like the ones limping in front of me
Want to live the life I'm meant to live
With everything inside of me
[chorus]
On and on I stake the course
And on and on I make my way
Through the trial and discourse of this life
Through the hopeful nights and doubting days
I don't want to lose my innocence
With all the things I give away
Is there a shred of it still left inside
Or is it lost somewhere along the way
Is there hope alive, still left inside
Or are you lost somewhere along the way
Do I still believe, am I still me
Or am I lost somewhere along the way
Would you take my hand
And walk beside me
In where I'm at and who I've been
Want to stand and be the man I am
While the wide-eyed boy still lives within
There's things I do that I don't want
And things I want that I don't do
Like my dreams have fallen by the wayside
While my nightmare's do come true
[chorus]
On and on I stake the course
And on and on I make my way
Through the trial and discourse of my life
Through the crystal nights and cloudy days
I don't want to lose myself
With everything I give away
Is there a shred of me still left inside
Or was it lost somewhere along the way
Lately I've got lots to say
Things I never would have in the day
Opinions move, opinions sway
Am I being loud or being brave?
And I don't want to lose the course
Want to wade the steady stream of faith
When the rivulets of new concerns
Get wide and try to carry me away
[chorus]
On and on I stake the course
And on and on I make my way
Through the trial and discourse of my life
Through the crystal nights and cloudy days
I don't want to lose myself
With everything I give away
Is there a shred of me still left inside
Or was it lost somewhere along the way
Destiny is swallowed whole
By a tattered change of scenery
When we grow old and start to fold
Compromise becomes uncertainty
And I don't want to walk that road
Like the ones limping in front of me
Want to live the life I'm meant to live
With everything inside of me
[chorus]
On and on I stake the course
And on and on I make my way
Through the trial and discourse of this life
Through the hopeful nights and doubting days
I don't want to lose my innocence
With all the things I give away
Is there a shred of it still left inside
Or is it lost somewhere along the way
Is there hope alive, still left inside
Or are you lost somewhere along the way
Do I still believe, am I still me
Or am I lost somewhere along the way
Would you take my hand
And walk beside me

PokeRock: Explosion!
Explosion! Explosion!
Explosion! Explosion!
Pump that 250 base
And then duck for cover
Cause this place about to shake
And I don't mean shudder
Though you may anticipate
A great big booming noise
Best know not to hate
On these selfdestructing boys
Explosion! Explosion!
Ah ah ah
Explosion! Explosion!
Ah ah ah
Explosion! Explosion!
Ah ah ah
Explosion! Explosion!
My Graveler's a traveler
To Doomsville he goes
But he's taking you with him
The moment that he explodes
Ain't no destiny bond
Nah, ain't no perish song
This is in your face destruction
I'm saying so long
Explosion! Explosion!
Ah ah ah
Explosion Explosion!
Ah ah ah
Explosion! Explosion!
Ah ah ah
Explosion! Explosion!
Explosion! Explosion!
Best call back your Typlosion
Before the blast causes some massive corrosion
No magic coat can save ya, so sorry Duosion
I tapped my screen, you'll tap out
No, you can't stop this motion
I'm going to destroy you, I'll prove my devotion
I'm ready to die to push on this promotion
I'll crash in your face like a wave in the ocean
If you wanna win, you've got to cause a bigger commotion
Explosion! Explosion!
Ah ah ah
Explosion! Explosion!
Ah ah ah
Explosion! Explosion!
Ah ah ah
Explosion Explosion!
Except if you're a ghost, then...
...Well actually, with the ability Scrappy...
Explosion! Explosion!
Explosion! Explosion!
Pump that 250 base
And then duck for cover
Cause this place about to shake
And I don't mean shudder
Though you may anticipate
A great big booming noise

"Hope Is A Place"
Different time, same place as you've always been
All holed up, like you're trapped within
Not really sure if there's a way to win
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Say it's just a taste of a place before
Your past stacked up on the bedroom floor
Mind made up, are you alive anymore?
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
[chorus]
Wake up and find
You're already designed
For something much greater
Than where you're confined
Hope is a place
So pick up the pace
You're wasting your time
When you know there's so much more to life
Feels like there's a wall every time you begin
Living in someone else's sin
Not everybody's life is perfection
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Some have it easy, some have it hard
But everybody's gotta play their hand of cards
You were dealt for a reason, now you're in charge
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
[chorus]
Wake up and find
You're already designed
For something much greater
Than where you're confined
Hope is a place
So pick up the pace
You're wasting your time
When you know there's so much more to life
And there's only so many excuses
Conditions, for why you can't do this
Do you ever feel, like the lines that we draw
Are really all useless
Yeah, they're all just useless
[chorus]
Wake up and find
You're already designed
For something much greater
Than where you're confined
Hope is a place
So finish the race
And stop wasting your time
When you know there's so much more to life
You know, there's so much more to life
All holed up, like you're trapped within
Not really sure if there's a way to win
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Say it's just a taste of a place before
Your past stacked up on the bedroom floor
Mind made up, are you alive anymore?
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
[chorus]
Wake up and find
You're already designed
For something much greater
Than where you're confined
Hope is a place
So pick up the pace
You're wasting your time
When you know there's so much more to life
Feels like there's a wall every time you begin
Living in someone else's sin
Not everybody's life is perfection
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Some have it easy, some have it hard
But everybody's gotta play their hand of cards
You were dealt for a reason, now you're in charge
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
[chorus]
Wake up and find
You're already designed
For something much greater
Than where you're confined
Hope is a place
So pick up the pace
You're wasting your time
When you know there's so much more to life
And there's only so many excuses
Conditions, for why you can't do this
Do you ever feel, like the lines that we draw
Are really all useless
Yeah, they're all just useless
[chorus]
Wake up and find
You're already designed
For something much greater
Than where you're confined
Hope is a place
So finish the race
And stop wasting your time
When you know there's so much more to life
You know, there's so much more to life

"Isolation"
It's easy to be alone
So hard to be alive
Making make-shift homes
In this homeless genocide
One by one we struggle
Falling off as passers by
Need to learn to band together
If we're ever gonna survive
[chorus]
Curb the addiction
Tear down the walls of self-affliction
Cubicles of human souls, in isolation
Run in all directions
Only finding dim reflections
Do you know that you're a soul
Trapped in your isolation
It's easy to follow suit
But never follow it inside
Put on a face, when behind the scenes
The unseen are the ones who strive
Stop chasing the flashing lights
Find that peace is deep inside
We're never gonna find what we need
Searching for hope on the outside
[chorus]
Curb the addiction
Tear down the walls of self-affliction
Cubicles of human souls, in isolation
Run in all directions
Only finding dim reflections
Do you know that you're a soul
Trapped in your isolation
We need to breathe, we need to be alive
Not tangled up inside
We need to break away, so break the chains
With love open wide
[chorus]
Curb the addiction
Tear down the walls of self-affliction
Cubicles of human souls, in isolation
Run in all directions
Only finding dim reflections
Do you know that you're a soul
Still looking for the hope they stole
Do you know that you're a soul
Lose the chains and take control
So hard to be alive
Making make-shift homes
In this homeless genocide
One by one we struggle
Falling off as passers by
Need to learn to band together
If we're ever gonna survive
[chorus]
Curb the addiction
Tear down the walls of self-affliction
Cubicles of human souls, in isolation
Run in all directions
Only finding dim reflections
Do you know that you're a soul
Trapped in your isolation
It's easy to follow suit
But never follow it inside
Put on a face, when behind the scenes
The unseen are the ones who strive
Stop chasing the flashing lights
Find that peace is deep inside
We're never gonna find what we need
Searching for hope on the outside
[chorus]
Curb the addiction
Tear down the walls of self-affliction
Cubicles of human souls, in isolation
Run in all directions
Only finding dim reflections
Do you know that you're a soul
Trapped in your isolation
We need to breathe, we need to be alive
Not tangled up inside
We need to break away, so break the chains
With love open wide
[chorus]
Curb the addiction
Tear down the walls of self-affliction
Cubicles of human souls, in isolation
Run in all directions
Only finding dim reflections
Do you know that you're a soul
Still looking for the hope they stole
Do you know that you're a soul
Lose the chains and take control
