MAKE YOU DISAPPEAR I've been searching all around, asking for any way out, that clock is ticking down on me. So I'll be where time cannot be found, with my head squarely in the clouds. Still I don't need your sympathy. I see you every morning, the seconds dripping from my face, and something keeps reporting like a joke every other wasted day I took the bet I'm so upset that I couldn't give an answer I keep waking up all soaked in sweat. Maybe you could ask me one more time? I've been searching all around, asking for any way out, that clock is ticking down on me. So I'll be where time cannot be found, with my head squarely in the clouds. Still I don't need your sympathy. Surround you with my stories. Yes I could turn a rain into a pour. If it keep you waiting for me, then I'll put on a face you can't ignore I'll shake your knees, make you believe The if you stare you'll see right through me I keep changing shapes, make no mistake, that you won't know who's walking out that door. I've been searching all around, asking for any way out, that clock is ticking down on me. So I'll be where time cannot be found, with my head squarely in the clouds. Still I don't need your sympathy. I'm waiting on a chance to fly away to lift my feet from this terrain. Still nothing else at all seems clear I need to make you disappear, without you it's sure to be my year.

Living Proof 03:29
You walk into the room and drink electric blue If I could find the words then I would sing to you We will all be fine I spoke the words but never realized I'll be fine I spoke the words but never realized You're living proof, that everything will breath into the past. I spoke the words but never lived through it. We're here just for the future to forget.

I step into the light, it does me no harm I become clear, and it makes me feel invisible and strong, incapable of wrong, like I can be safe inside the storm. Oh the toil I've been putting myself through Oh these shaking hands have nothing to hold onto The safety that I build around my kin Just hasn't got the same effect within I haven't got the will to push it out, I have too much doubt I haven't got the spirit to believe my, tired legs can carry me away To find another day, to hold up my weight I step into the light, it does me no harm I become clear, and it makes me feel invisible and strong, incapable of wrong, like I can be safe inside the storm. Without the courage to fail we will never enjoy the progress that we've made I feel tired, I feel stuck inside those doors I deserve every gain the future holds I haven't got the will to push it out, I have too much doubt I haven't got the spirit to believe my, tired legs can carry me away To find another day, to hold up my weight I step into the light, it does me no harm I become clear, and it makes me feel invisible and strong, incapable of wrong, like I can be safe inside the storm.

Rings 03:12
I've been dancing like a criminal Knowing that one day my life will end And I will have to pay for all I've done But I don't want this to end I wish that I could hit reset But I'd do it all again If I could get a second chance I swear that I would make it last Long ago I left this point here on a curve I'm arriving back again I've been spending all my borrowed time All my dollars turning into dimes and All the weight is making my back bend I'm losing all my friends I wish that I could hit reset But I'd do it all again If I could get a second chance I swear that I would make it last Long ago I left this point here on a curve I'm arriving back again Now I'm spinning along rings Living on eternal circles But the second that I leave The center's pulling back on me Now I'm spinning along rings Living on eternal circles But the second that I leave It's pulling back on me I wish that I could hit reset But I'd do it all again If I could get a second chance I swear that I would make it last

Outside 04:00
I call you up to make you talk again Open up your eyes before this ends Because you are the only reason for my life You're sinking fast so won't you learn to Hold your breath before you're under Why can't we take a look outside I think we'd change each other's lives Because I don't think it's worth it to put up with the fight While all the world is waiting for us to wash our hands I don't need to listen but I need you to understand If you can barely look into her eyes Without knowing that you'll just fight again Open up your eyes before this ends Because you are the only thing that's keeping me alive Why can't we take a look outside I think we'd change each other's lives Because I don't think it's worth it to put up with the fight While all the world is waiting for us to wash our hands I don't need to listen but I need you to understand I don't ever want to see you holding back Waiting on another reason to attack Let go of spite, don't waste your time We'll act on love, we'll be just fine Why can't we take a look outside I think we'd change each other's lives Because I don't think it's worth it to put up with the fight While all the world is waiting for us to wash our hands I don't need to listen but I need you to understand I need you to understand

We had a good few months, oh so long ago I couldn't gather up the courage to let you know We put blankets on our windows To keep the sunlight from our room With mornings making room for the afternoons We may still see the light but we know that the star is dead We may still see the light It's just as white as your porcelain skin You've probably got your place all picked up Yeah you've got pictures of your friends And lonely is such a scary thought you surround yourself with them Now you've got bruises on your knees and shoes that match the street. Well I can't hide the fact that I'm disgusted. We may still see the light but we know that the star is dead We may still see the light It's just as white as your porcelain skin I'm like a doll with my faith all painted up Just as fake with the dreams to match me

I wrote a letter home today To be sure they weren't forgetting me But the sentences just fell off the page Well I can only be a runaway Until I find myself a place to stay but I will hold you close to these open notes It's tough to say what you need to hear I probably won't be around next year It's tough to say what you need to hear I'll be gone at the end of summer When all the leaves are changing color It's getting dark a little earlier I'm sure your life is getting better Do you remember when the radio, used to tell us all who we should be, but the songs got old and sounded all the same? My heart keeps jumping when you're calling me Though we haven't got a thing to say When I hear our song I have to let it play It's tough to say what you need to hear I probably won't be around next year It's tough to say what you need to hear I'll be gone at the end of summer When all the leaves are changing color It's getting dark a little earlier I'm sure your life is getting better I'm such a bore I'm getting old I held your hand when it got cold How could we be so full of hope? Dad's playing card bicycle spokes I see the path beyond this line It's funny that I'm running out of time Live everything your parents spoke I've read enough to see the joke Buttoned my suit and sold my soul How could we be so full of hope? All my possessions bring me fear I'm living out my dream this year I'm such a bore I'm getting old I held your hand when it got cold How could we be so full of hope? I've read enough to see the joke I've read enough to see the joke

Secrets 04:00
There are angels digging in my shoulder They're telling me not to reach out to this tempting light It's an overbearing passenger, with a promise like a cannon And it has its chains connected to my neck I'm taking on this heavy burden The connection that it keeps is worth its weight in gold Their outstretched hands keep tugging my pockets asking me to keep them shelter from the cold Do you see what I see? The ground between us shifting as we stand Now the distance is growing Hold that pose there tight So I can see your face When your skin become opaque I'll be the sun that warms your wake I want you to evaporate So you be relieved I will protect your wings But you can never leave too late My knees and legs are crumbling as I struggle with the weight I'm walking howling halls How can I ignore these screams? Every turn I see your hungry face Begging me to eat Do you see what I see? The ground between us shifting as we stand Now the distance is growing I'll keep your secrets tight. I'll keep your secrets tight. Do you see what I see? The ground between us shifting as we stand Now the distance is growing

The message was clear That I'm through with your suffering You may not understand But you are causing too much pain The solution is not to point the blame I won't hold back When you tell me to clean my act I won't give in You can send the strongest hurricane I'll keep marching on parade No I will not raise my hand When you drown me in your hate And paint all of my mistakes Though I'm freezing in the rain Only love will fill my heart I will not be afraid The message was clear That I'm through with your suffering You may not understand But you are causing too much pain The solution is not to point the blame I won't hold back When you tell me to clean my act I won't give in Only love will fill my heart I will not be afraid I won't hold back When you tell me to clean my act I won't give in

I'm building walls around the people that I love They used to be of paper, now I barely hear them talk I know they're safe and sound with roofs above their heads I reach to knock that door but I can't raise my hand On these walls the pictures tell it all When I find the awful truth I can leave it all behind I'll be the fading imagery When you finally close your eyes Take the pictures from my walls Their eyes are burning holes It's hard to stop my heart when it's beating out my chest Take the pictures from my walls Their eyes are burning holes There's nothing to protect When I finally hit my stride I won't pretend I'm walking with both hands tied behind my back I'm sick of being overwhelmed And open to attack I can't be still, I have to move To keep my heart from stopping here I keep my mind so occupied there's barely room for thoughts at all On these walls the pictures tell it all When I find the awful truth I can leave it all behind I'll be the fading imagery When you finally close your eyes Take the pictures from my walls Their eyes are burning holes It's hard to stop my heart when it's beating out my chest Take the pictures from my walls Their eyes are burning holes There's nothing to protect When I finally hit my stride I won't pretend When I find the awful truth I can leave it all behind I'll be the fading imagery When you finally close your eyes I close my eyes Protect me from these walls I close my eyes When I find the awful truth I can leave it all behind I'll be the fading imagery When you finally close your eyes

I used to care, I used to read books I used to care about the way I look We used to be better, we used to spend more time together Now try convincing me to move She wants to be a doctor she doesn't have time for me She wants to bury herself inside of books that I can't even read She wants to be a model The girl has no self esteem She wants to dance around and prance in clothes That she can't afford to keep You and your jet black hair You even say it with the clothes you wear That I'm not the kind of company you keep After the notes I wrote I find you disappearing like a ghost Am I fading out or am I just asleep? We used to be better, we used to spend more time together Now try convincing me to move She wants to be a doctor she doesn't have time for me She wants to bury herself inside of books that I can't even read She wants to be a model The girl has no self esteem She wants to dance around and prance in clothes That she can't afford to keep
