Good Front 03:18
Frozen in position forced to watch all those decisions they made finally taking their form And a highlight reel still plays in the middle while both parties prepare for war Maybe it’s my fear that leads me to the truth and love that leads me to lie I feel a similar pain in both of my sides I wish I could always do what was right I’ll be the one that strikes first Because I can’t let what I love get hurt All the cold shoulders you serve for dessert I bet we’re going to bite you back after this You wonder why they hate you when you knew I was new there’s poison deep in your kiss Yeah frozen while I listen with the clouds in my decisions I’m putting up a pretty good front I don’t care if I’m callous after this you’ll see what I’ve done I’ll be the one that strikes first Because I can’t let what I love get hurt Because I’ll be the one that strikes first Because I can’t let what I love get hurt

Yeah go get back that feeling of your soul in your hand YouYou didn’t miss the mission but you missed the demand What what what what if you were the only one you know understands But your the one with no olive branch So are you forced to find some order ToTo turn around time is still pretty quick There’s things you can’t avoid but you keep up the stick Your head is on tight but your skin doesn’t fit YouYou think you’re holding still but I see you twitchYou think you’re holding still but I see you twitch You think you’re holding still but I see you twitch You’re only hoping for some order Are you all out of energy Don’t shake just rest Are you all out of energy Just leave the mess Are you all out of energy You’re still well dressed Are you all out of energy Oh no you’re not out of the place you can’t find your groove Hey shimmy shimmy down and you’ll learn to approve Oh your head is on the whole holy book Don’t know how you sound but you know how to look I always saw through your disorder Oh yeah you tried tried tried to reach out to the rational type Now you can see the effort has been bleeding you dry try Don’t you ever wanna show your merciless side You’re never going to change their my my my mind You’re tired working with their disorder Are you all out of energy Don’t shake just rest Are you all out of energy Just leave the mess Are you all out of energy You’re still well dressed Are you all out of energy Yeah you got beauty in your thievery like a new masterpiece But no one‘s going to care call the Poe Poe police All your targets drop or you help them expire You’ve always had the neck you’re a new gun for hire A way to work with your disorder Are you all out of energy Don’t shake just rest Are you all out of energy Just leave the mess Are you all out of energy You’re still well dressed Are you all out of energy

In the Ocean 03:41
I’ll try to defend While you still pretend Like they didn’t hurt us that much We resent what they took They hated our look They thought they could make us like them But out here in the ocean They won’t know if we’re missing Out here in the ocean No they wouldn’t listen Out here in the ocean We’ll die with our decision Out here in the ocean We might stay in the ocean Oh no I’ve got no soul But still please treat me right Intake what you deserve but you don’t want the fight and don’t you’d like to swim I’d like to swim with you I’d like to take you to my favorite view Out here in the ocean They won’t know if we’re missing Out here in the ocean No they wouldn’t listen Out here in the ocean We’ll die with our decision Out here in the ocean We might stay in the ocean might stay in the ocean Out here in the ocean Might stay in the ocean Might stay in the ocean Might stay in the ocean Out here in the ocean Might stay in the ocean Might stay in the ocean Might stay in the ocean

An Offer 03:44
You made the perfect be the enemy Of the good and what it ought to be I really hate it when you’re mad at me But conversation feels like surgery Now I want whatever’s after But all I got is an offer an offer When all I heard was your laughter All I had was an offer an offer I wonder what I’m gonna do with you And can’t keep up with all you put me through I’ll try to catch you in a better mood I lost a good I thought I saw you Now I want whatever’s after But all I got is an offer an offer When all I heard was your laughter All I had was an offer an offer And I can’t help was left inside of me I won’t try to defend our history There’s never been a way to make you see And now that’s just the way it’s got to be I never made my point I didn’t get what I wanted from you Is this what I waited for I’ve got a find something else to do Now I want whatever’s after But all I got is an offer an offer When all I heard was your laughter All I had was an offer an offer Now I want whatever’s after But all I got is an offer an offer When all I heard was your laughter All I had was an offer an offer Now I want whatever’s after But all I got is an offer an offer When all I heard was your laughter All I had was an offer an offer

Hey maybe you want me in the world pool How cruel Do you judge me for my attitude And what I’ve sworn to You opened up my eyes And you opened up my heart I didn’t want this conflict It won’t improve anything Hey baby can you meet me after dark I don’t think you’ve ever seen me shake things up Hey baby don’t give it a second thought Is there a chance it could be as bad as you want I can’t break down these evolving rules Or how you distract my Complicated life Undoing what I’m used to And things that were true to me If you could see me after all Then turn around Forget about the worst part Hey baby can you meet me after dark I don’t think you’ve ever seen me shake things up Hey baby don’t give it a second thought Is there a chance it could be as bad as you want

Opportunity 03:55
I can see now it was the wrong wrong time to try to get closer to you Bad fit maybe it was all of it I’m so tired of being the fool If you think it make a difference go go go I thought by now you’d figured this out Don’t you know your way way way too dependent I’ve always had my doubts Don’t put the blame on me I’m not the tragedy We’re going to disagree Don’t put the blame on me Won’t be satisfied I got to get get get to the other side to see what it’s like Oh it’s brand new what a view I thought of you And did you kill your pain for the night Don’t put the blame on me I’m not the tragedy We are going to disagree You were wrecked right next to me I did all I could to find an opportunity While you stayed back inventing your reality I should be a little more critical Because you always seem to turn out slow You had me captivated like an accident And you knew I was part of your show I let myself down but I did the job I don’t know why I didn’t go Don’t put the blame on me I’m not the tragedy We are going to disagree You were wrecked right next to me I did all I could to find an opportunity While you stayed back inventing your reality

Miracle 03:36
No you never had a choice you sort of just behave And you still drink the poison that your mother made Yeah I think you’ve got more than the right to be afraid But you wear your curse and your scars and you don’t expect A miracle No one gets a miracle If it’s real then it’s physical But you really need a miracle A miracle yeah Somewhere in the corner of your lifeless nerves You sometimes feel the absent limbs that used to burn It’s like everyone else but you has had their turn It isn’t fair But your life depends on A miracle No one gets a miracle If it’s real then it’s physical But you really need a miracle A miracle yeah Do you wanna just your thoughts for any price And if you’re smart you’ll never take my advice It’s getting rough out there to find someplace safe to hide But you’re not blind you’ll stay outside and keep your eyes alive waiting for Anyone to take you away Someone to make you feel better than you have in days Anyone to take you away Someone to make you feel A little more safe No one gets a miracle If it’s real then it’s physical Don’t believe in

Papercut 05:02
Oh you got it made I’ll look away While you can watch our house burn Another way I new today Well you can think it’s your turn You got a paper cut It’s deep enough Yeah it hurts when you bend your hand Better keep it clean And covered up You’ll see one of these days it’s gone See yourself Try to see yourself Through my eyes See yourself Try to see yourself Through my eyes Aren’t we all corrupt Only most of us And no one tries to discern Some will get away And never pay But we can’t show our concern See yourself Try to see yourself Through my eyes See yourself Try to see yourself Through my eyes Ooh you got a crutch Just like most of us It stings when you hear the truth Get a thicker skin And toughen up Because what are you got to lose Oh it beats you up When you don’t got the guts You feel the pain when things get blurred Be a new machine One they’ve never seen So you can have the last word See yourself Try to see yourself Through my eyes See yourself Try to see yourself Through my eyes

I knew that I was lucky to find you I don’t know where to begin I tried to play the day that I met you Remembering it again and again Sometimes I see it well enough I’m still overwhelmed I wish now I could’ve caught it on tape Or on some kind of film Really now that you’re gone there’s not much I can do I thought I did All I could to hold on to you I always knew What we had would never end And from now on I’ll always wish I could see you again I could never think to count the luxe that you get because you turn everybody’s head Everywhere you went you had the sun in your steps and the place would smile after you left If I was hollowed out by the mess and the stress you’d always heal my soul I knew that I would hurt when you left but just how much no I didn’t know Really now that you’re gone there’s not much I can do I thought I did All I could to hold on to you I always knew What we had would never end And from now on I’ll always wish I could see you again I still hold a grudge against anything that kept me from you Or you from me I still keep a grudge against anything that kept me from you I still hold a grudge against anything that kept me from you Or you from me I still keep a grudge against anything that kept me from you Really now that you’re gone there’s not much I can do I thought I did All I could to hold on to you I always knew What we had would never end And from now on I’ll always wish I could see you again
11.
You almost open a mystery box and said before you left Don’t show this to anyone You knew I’d be surprised I said I have my doubts But don’t tell them anymore than is required Now you’re acting hesitant Do they got the evidence I see you try to rest on your feet OK yeah you’re making waves you shouldn’t stay They found the bullet from the gun that you fired Hey maybe you can start over And you might be who you wanted to Hey maybe you can start over Yeah but don’t try to run from the truth Remember if you start over again There’s no way to respond your youth Yeah maybe you can start over again You’ve got nothing left here to lose What what what what what what what What did they say What do you think Hey what went wrong Are you choking on that feeling of hope You ask Why do you all you crawl on ice is everybody scared It’s your reaction you wish you could re-wire I can tell you’re holding back but your secrets safe I can see your silence making you tired As you open the box I see why you’re scared You woke a sleeping reinvention of fire Hey maybe you can start over And you might be who you wanted to Hey maybe you can start over Yeah but don’t try to run from the truth Remember if you start over again There’s no way to respond your youth Yeah maybe you can start over again You’ve got nothing left here to lose

Moved 04:37
All right I’ll find out where you’re wrong Can’t help my silence isn’t strong You can’t help feeling you belong Success is overrated Looks like you’re from good stock Behind your bob and your talk You’ve taken quite a few knocks You’re kind of complicated I wish I could’ve moved There was nothing to do I just waited for you I wish that I could’ve moved And that I followed you But I waited alone You’re back to complicate the mix You got more broke than I can fix Stuck around with stupid little cliques I’ll just stay separated It might’ve been the right embrace I’m sure it’s more than just your face I can see you if I concentrate You kept me fascinated I wish I could’ve moved There was nothing to do I just waited for you I wish that I could’ve moved And that I followed you But I waited alone Some sounds still keep you up at night It’s what you say when you fight You want to go but that’s might I know you’re isolated The love you had it has gotten cold Call at the cost of getting old Whether or not you’ve been told Can’t be negotiated It never mattered with anyone said You’ll do what you do It never mattered what anyone said You’ll do what you do I wish I could’ve moved There was nothing to do I just waited for you I wish that I could’ve moved And that I followed you But I waited alone
