"Sick Cycle Carousel"

"Sick Cycle Carousel"


If shame had a face I think it
would kind of look like mine
If it had a home would it be my eyes
Would you believe me if I said I'm tired of this
Well here we go now one more time

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get it down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to tame this mind
You better believe that I tried to beat this

[CHORUS]
So when will this end it goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around I know that it won't stop
Till I step down from this for good

I never thought I'd end up here
Never thought I'd be standing where I am
I guess I kinda thought it would be easier than this
I guess I was wrong now one more time

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how long I could get it down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to tame this mind
You better believe that I tried yo beat this

[REPEAT CHORUS]
Sick cycle carousel
This is a sick sycle, yeah
Sick cycle carousel
This is a sick cycle, yeah

[REPEAT CHORUS TWICE]
Sick cycle carousel
Sick cycle carousel
Sick cycle carousel...

"Signs Of Life"

"Signs Of Life"


Break through, hoping your demons can't catch you
So many people with a good view
If you should ever be the one to hit the ground
The stop sign's on the wrong highway
And it's so dark, looking for answers
But your headlight's already gone out
You're looking for a spark
Can April showers spring signs of life in me?
A heart that's been buried in the ground,
Can break if it's never found
I spent so much time digging that grave
And even if it's pain that I feel
At least I know that it's real
I'd rather be broken than afraid
Can April showers spring signs of life in me?
It's a long ride, don't think it's over
It's a fine line between disaster and a good time
Pick up the pieces and find out who you are
It's a cruel sound, you know you're heading
For a meltdown, feeling the pressure like a landslide
You have to figure out why you fell apart
Can April showers spring signs of life in me?
A heart that's been buried in the ground,
Can break if it's never found
I spent so much time digging that grave
And even if it's pain that I feel
At least I know that it's real
I'd rather be broken than afraid
Can April showers spring signs of life in me?
Just slow down, take it in stride, yeah
There's no deadlines as long as you're alive, yeah
Alive, yeah, alive, yeah
Just slow down, take it in stride, yeah
There's no deadlines as long as you're alive, yeah
Alive, yeah
Just slow down, take it in stride, yeah
There's no deadlines as long as you're alive, yeah
Alive, yeah

"Simon"

"Simon"


Catch your breath,
Hit the wall,
Scream out loud,
As you start to crawl
Back in your cage
The only place
Where they will
Leave you alone.
'Cause the weak will
Seek the weaker til they've broken them.
Could you get it back again?
Would it be the same?
Fulfillment to their lack of strength at your expense,
Left you with no defense;
They tore it down.

[Chorus:]
And I have felt the same as you,
I've felt the same as you,
I've felt the same.

Locked inside
The only place
Where you feel sheltered,
Where you feel safe.
You lost yourself
In your search to find
Something else to hide behind.

The fearful always preyed upon your confidence.
Did they see the consequence,
when they pushed you around?
The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones,
Breaking them 'til they've become just another crown.

[Chorus]

Refuse to feel anything at all,
Refuse to slip,
Refuse to fall.
Can't be weak,
Can't stand still,
You watch your back 'cause no one will.
You don't know why they had to go this far,
Traded your worth for these scars,
For your only company.
And don't believe the lies
That they have told to you. Not one word was true
you're alright, you're alright, you're alright.

[Chorus]

"Sky Is Falling"

"Sky Is Falling"


I watch as the daylight crawls
past the shadows hanging on the walls
it's been a long time since we felt the stain
of yesterday getting in my way
I'm alive but tell me am I free
I got eyes but tell me can I see
the sky is falling and no one knows
it shouldn't be hard to believe
shouldn't be this difficult to breathe
the sky is falling and no one knows
you leave me hanging on
only to catch my breath
I got you and I got nothing left
don't leave me all alone down here
with myself and all of my fear
I'm alive but tell me am I free
I got eyes but tell me can I see
the sky is falling and no one knows
it shouldn't be hard to believe
shouldn't be this difficult to breathe
the sky is falling and no one knows
no one knows
oh no one knows
I'm alive but tell me am I free
I got eyes but tell me can I see
the sky is falling and no one knows
it shouldn't be hard to believe
shouldn't be this difficult to breathe
the sky is falling and no! one knows
the sky is falling and no one knows
the sky is falling and no one knows

"Slow Motion"

"Slow Motion"


Lost inside your head now
Where you you like to find me
And I’m treading your water
Way out into the deep

Like living in slow motion
Burning out the days are upside down
And my eyes feel just like an ocean
'till you come back
These tears ain’t running out

Time is no illusion
Every hour I spend alone

Like living in slow motion
Burning out the days are upside down
And my eyes feel just like an ocean
'till you come back
These tears ain’t running out

Like living in slow motion
Burning out the days are upside down
And my eyes feel just like an ocean
'till you come back
These tears ain’t running out

"Smoke & Mirrors"

"Smoke & Mirrors"


There was a time, was a place back when
You and I were living alone together
We held each other in the middle of the night
And swore we'd somehow make it better
We set our sights on the big city lights
No moss on these rolling stones
And here we are with everything we ever wanted
But now we're together alone

Gotta break out of this place we're in
Runnin' out of time and out of sin
We were living smoke and mirrors anyway
Gonna drive all night 'til we disappear
Chasing down the miles so far from here
As the smoke and mirrors start to fade away
We're still the same...

I remember thinking we could make it out somehow
If somehow we ever took a chance
We packed up what we had and threw it in the trunk
Didn't give our life a second glance
Now the days roll hard and the nights move fast
They say be careful what you wish
But having everything means nothing to me now
What we had is everything I miss

Gotta break out of this place we're in
Runnin' out of time and out of sin
We were living smoke and mirrors anyway
Gonna drive all night 'til we disappear
Chasing down the miles so far from here
As the smoke and mirrors start to fade away
You know we're still the same... still the same

Gonna drive all night 'til we disappear
Chasing down the miles so far from here
As the smoke and mirrors start to fade away
And we're all we've got so let's hold on tight
To the dreams that came before the fight
We were living smoke and mirrors anyway

"Somebody Else's Song"

"Somebody Else's Song"


Can't change this feeling
I'm way out of touch.
Can't change this meaning--
it means too much.
Never been so lonely,
never felt so good.
Can't be the only one
misunderstood.
I remind myself of somebody else.
I'm feeling like I'm chasing,
like I'm facing myself alone.
I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head
I want some of my own
I want some of my own
I want some of my own
Can you see me up here?
Would you bring me back down?
I've been living to see my fears
as they fall to the ground.
I remind myself of somebody else.
I'm Feeling like I'm chasing,
like I'm facing myself alone.
I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head.
I want some of my own
I want some of my own
I want some of my own
Am I hiding behind my doubts?
Are they hiding behind me?
I'm closer to finding out
it doesn't mean anything.
I remind myself of somebody else now.
Feeling like I'm chasing,
like I'm facing myself alone.
I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head.
I want some of my own
I want some of my own
I want some of my own

"Somewhere In Between"

"Somewhere In Between"


I can't be losing sleep over this, no, I can't
And now I cannot stop pacing
Give me a few hours, I'll have this all sorted out
If my mind would just stop racing
'Cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening
This is over my head but underneath my feet
'Cause by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat
And everything will be back to the way that it was
I wish that it was just that easy
'Cause I'm waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And I'm somewhere in between
What is real and just a dream...
What is real and just a dream...
What is real and just a dream...
Would you catch me if I fall out of what I fell in
Don't be surprised if I collapse down at your feet again
I don't want to run away from this
I know that I just don't need this
'Cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening
'Cause I'm waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And I'm somewhere in between
What is real and just a dream...
What is real and just a dream...
What is real and just a dream...
What is real and just a dream...

"Spin"

"Spin"


I'd rather chase your shadow all my life
than be afraid of my own
I'd rather be with you
I'd rather not know
where I'll be than be alone and convinced that I know
and the world keeps spinning round
my world's upside down and I wouldn't change a thing
I've got nothing else to lose
I lost it all when I found you and I wouldn't change thing
no you and I wouldn't change a thing
everything I know has let me down
so I will just let go
let you turn me inside out
cause I know I'm not sure
about anything but you wouldn't have it any other way
and the world keeps spinning round
my world's upside down and I wouldn't change a thing
I've got nothing else to lose
I lost it all when I found you and I wouldn't change thing
no you and I wouldn't change a thing
spinning, turning, watching, burning
all my life has found its meaning
walking, crawling, climbing, falling
all my life has found its meaning
you and I wouldn't change a thing
no you and I wouldn't change a thing
and the world keeps spinning round
my world's upside down and I wouldn't change a thing
I've got nothing else to lose
I lost it all when I found you and I wouldn't change thing
no you and I wouldn't change a thing
no you and I wouldn't change a thing

"Stanley Climbfall"

"Stanley Climbfall"


quiet
seems like an honest world
you're begging for the beggars' bread when the money's out
stand climb and fall
carry the world
can't carry your own
when the world is falling down
and another breaks then another falls
for losers always make the winner's day
stand climb and fall
carry the weight
can't carry it all
are you falling
are you faking
are you healing
are you breaking
am I burning
am I only melting
these diamonds in the making
and I'm at the end of myself
anything you want
and nothing seems to satisfy me
take anything you want
quiet
a sound you know so well
you're living just to make it through another day
stand climb and fall
carry the world
can't carry your own
are you falling
are you faking
are you healing
are you breaking
am I burning
am I only melting
these diamonds in the making
and I'm at the end of myself
anything you want
and nothing seems to satisfy me
take anything you want
take anything you want
take anything you want
quiet
