Waking up 02:46
One word, one lie – is all I need to hear from you, to make me say goodbye One chance, at life – the misconception sweeping over you. Why is it so hard for you to understand? Open up your eyes You’ve got to make some sense of it Waking up inside You’ve got to make some sense of it all You know, it’s hard, to get back on your feet again when you’ve been so low But I know, that words are not enough, enough to let you know, I know ive tried it one too many times. Open up your eyes You’ve got to make some sense of it Waking up inside You’ve got to make some sense of it all

Back Someday 03:51
Its like waking up, from the blackest day that I have ever seen Its not far from here, we can walk the distance, and take a back road You can’t escape the blasphemy; it’s in your dreams And watch believers, make believers, they make their minds up for them. For them When the truth comes out, You will be back Someday Give me two more hours, a chance to catch you, you make it harder than the heartache You based all of your life on a book of if maybe when maybe someday We can’t escape this sound; we’ll head back to the starting line. Blow out the burning light, this is how it went, and how it always goes When the truth comes out, You will be back Someday Do you believe in yourself, start telling everybody You’re twenty years old! You’ve got to work this out!

The city falls asleep, as the tide begins to reach the sky, the buildings and the streetlights. So watch the pieces float, down the avenue, and through the locals eyes there goes a million memories. They're running and running as fast as they can They are running for their lives They're taking and breaking and I can’t take it They are running for their lives So watch them as they float down into your home Watch them as they come so far between us Watch the pieces, Watch the pieces Watch them come. They're running and running as fast as they can They are running for their lives They're taking and breaking and I can’t take it They are running for their lives

So put your word where your mouth is What ever happened to modern rivalry? Someone would think that they had thought up a better way. So don’t let young ones believe it; they’ll work it out on their own [DELAY] You should have something to say I’m calling you out – it’s taking my breath away They’re asking questions, they want to know the truth But you’re giving answers back they’re lies, what you want them to believe] You got to stop your distractions; you’ll make the kids react and make a scene They’ll make a scene.   You should have something to say I’m calling you out – it’s taking my breath away Ur getting closer, to figuring out Ur getting close 2 me, I think you’ve figured it out Figured it out,

It's on 04:16
Its all the same, it starts off in a bar and ends up with a shoot out tonight The clock tick tick ticks, now someone’s got to make a move for this show to end Don’t ask me why this is the way that all the people leaving the bar at half past two express their thoughts to you. You danced for a while, gave them a smile, then took off all of your clothes! What ever happened to those days, when we’d plan to start a craze? You have gone and left me here. It’s on, this time. Pick the lock, you went to California and still you didn’t find it all right Now nothing will seem to change no more Its all we ever had And I never thought you would go this far. All the same, it was all the same

Interlude 00:21

Radio 03:43
Until you wake inside, you will take in all the news, And listen to the tunes on the radio When People talk back, the crowds don’t believe the lies they shout They don’t know anything, about anything. It’s not what you would say Your gonna make up reasons And say it on the radio! Some people clap their hands And all the other people follow suit, they never thought to choose But it’s up to you, you’ve got to make your own stand So get up, get up, get up! Its not what you would say Your gonna make up reasons And say it on the radio! This hope will never die And when they smile and they’ll look the same You want to walk us through your nightmares But you are too afraid to speak your mind And if it takes, all tomorrow You’ll know, we’ll all know But there is not a reason

You wake up tomorrow, without her there Without her in your arms you walk yourself home, to drunk to say a word to me And you will take the next step Try and drown your fears in oceans You will take the next step down Its understated that you’re falling down way from the top Its underneath, your skin and creeping out like a tide that drowns you And it’s going to explode! Never though you’d have the courage Never though they’d be the ones to hold you down You walked in to a disaster Keeping all your inhibitions and your bad memories from the past You will stand up one last time, and will open up your eyes, just like clouds across the sky People live people die, but they wont wake up alright You should have known then You should have left them behind You should have told them to die. You should have told them not to think. Its understated that you’re falling down way from the top Its underneath, your skin and creeping out like a tide that drowns you And its going to explode! Fire! Fire! Fire! And you will take the next step, try and drown your fears in oceans. You will take the next step down. Its understated that you’re falling down way from the top Its underneath, your skin and creeping out like a tide that drowns you And its going to explode!

The time is now So open up your eyes and see the skyline Like seconds on the clock they carry home their hearts tonight and scream scream themselves to sleep Take it one day at a time and everything will turn out alright One Day at a time And everything it'll be alright This place this time so open up your mind this is your life It’s like looking for a change we'll all be entertaining someday someone, someway I tried to convince myself that’s the way you wanted I tried to convince myself that’s the way you wanted now Take it one day at a time
10.
When I look in to your eyes, I remember how I used to take it all for granted, but then I bought it just incase I tried to make up our lost time, thought I told you everything The empty hallways’ tell the story You’re not the only one, that’s never known Why don’t you say what’s on your mind Still I wonder why A screw capped from keeping my insides getting out. So you drop the hint – escape! The words just flow right of my mouth The empty package tells the story You’re not the only one, that’s never known You’re not the only one, that’s falling from these hands You’ll never know When you’re feeling lonely girl When you just can’t take no more (no more, not, no more) Remember when we started talking Remember what we had before, not no more. You’re not the only one, that’s never known You’re not the only one, that’s falling from these hands You’ll never know

The Sound 04:25
I know given time I will figure it out I heard it the sound wont make you shout! But I guess im to blame; it’s all the same That this is not a part of you In those eyes, I’ll know When your heartbeat slows So don’t take me from this moment Don’t take me from today Ill always hear the same whoa The same as you whoa I know this time I will figure it out I’m dying to know how it works out But I guess im to blame; it’s all the same
13.
I tried to tear my heart out to prove myself to you I tried to tear my heart out what more was i to do Wait in the cold, it hurts to see you so in love again Freeze in the cold, he's left you on your own, the truths been told So what can i do To make this up to you So what have i done I guess I'll leave it up to you I tried to tear my heart out to prove myself to you I tried to tear my heart out what more was i to do You're making stories, to tell your friends, they blow me off Stretching the truth about me, he owns you now, and you don’t know it So what can i do To make this up to you So what have i done I guess I'll leave it up to you I tried to tear my heart out to prove myself to you I tried to tear my heart out what more was i to do This hole in my chest Im reaching out for you This hole in my chest Im reaching out for you I tried to stop this heart beating But I felt time got the best of me Can stop this heart but you wont stop time again. I tried to tear my heart out to prove myself to you I tried to tear my heart out what more was i to do
14.
Its like waking up, when everything has gone away We’ll find it somehow, and bring back all those memories and thoughts of you As I look into these eyes, They reflect from the blue sky All I wanted was you Waiting for the moment, Waiting for the day Weeks turn to months and still you’re not here Until the day I see you again I can’t go on without you here Take it back, those special things that belong to me Erase the thoughts from back of my mind, you’ll see It takes a second to see you A minute to fall for you A moment to lose you But a lifetime to forget you
