Archenemy
02:49
|

|
Holding the weight of the world on my shoulders, yet still they ask more of me. Taking things into my own hands, I am justice, retribution for the victims and the decieved
Woah Woah Woah
Woah Woah Woah
Down I fall, can't you see? You are my archenemy, my downfall is coming around
Another late night, another deadly fight. Still I got the better of him. Now theres more evil waiting around the corner, I fear the greater good will never win
Read the headlines, front page, I have saved the world once again. Replay last night, a million times, its the same thing will it ever end? Will it ever end?

High On Life
03:33

I've sung wordless songs to myself for the last time, I think I've found the words to say. The sun is shining down on me for the first time, I thought I'd never see the day.
I just wanna be known, I just wanna feel new, I don't want all my expectations shot. So sick of the cold, so sick of the pain, I'm sick of coming in second place. How could I give in when all this potential is flowing through my veins? I promise myself, that finally this time, I'll make use of my inspiration.
The future's looking bright for what seems like the first time, nothing's gonna tear me down. Straight ahead are the best days of my life, nothing's gonna stop me now
I'm moving on from giving up, I'll never die alone, I'll make my mark before my life is over. The world is mine, Im diving in, I'll never second guess, I'll make my mark before my life is over.

Back To Square One

Well now it's time I call your bluff. Can't you just admit that I never really was enough? Theres things I've always wanted to shove back in your face, and after 2 years, you cant replace
And no one sees my side
How does it feel to be everyone's favourite person? After I let you down. How does it make you feel, when all your fears are real, I'm shaking and waiting, shaking and waiting for something more.
What did you expect of me? You act like theres no reason, but immaturity. I'm sorry that I liked you, more than you'll ever know. You leave me with no choice but to let go.
Sometimes I wonder if you're capable of speaking your mind. You're moving forward fast, I'm stuck in the past, and will get left behind.
You were all I ever wanted.

All Along

Don't you see the light of day? Yeah, it shines on anyways. We've both gone our seperate ways, living our lives in a haze. I'm growing sick of doing this, of living with this lonliness. So I call, you don't respond, I should have known this all along.
I can't see why you have to be so far away from me. I don't know, I refuse to do this on my own.
You cross my mind now day to day, I wish that we could find a way. But it's the same thing all the time, still I keep on wondering why. So I call, you dont respond, I should have known this all along. You took no time to move on, I fucked up and now you're gone.

Midnight Drive
03:39
|
|||
|
I'm possesed by summer nights, I walk alone under the street lights, try so hard to clear my head, a million thoughts have been left unsaid. It's so hard, I've barely made it through the week, the extra pressure's adding up, tomorow's looking bleak. You promised me..
I'm just saying I dont wanna be
I'm just saying I dont wanna be
I'm just saying I dont wanna be
I'm just saying I dont wanna be alone
And your struggle's understood, but when does the bad outweigh the good?
Through all these routine midnight drives, the worries all build up inside, I cringe at every sudden sound, I look for you, you're not around. It's so hard, I barely made it through today. After everything we've worked for, I almost let it be thrown away. But I won't.
Woah - it doesnt mean I gave up hope
Woah - through everything Ive learned to cope
Woah - I just need to take care of myself, and so do you.

Another Day
03:30
|

|
I wake up to another day; yet again you tell me what to do. The day will come that I will turn the other way, cuz I'm so tired.
You're telling me to grow up right
You're telling me to stop the fight
Why can't you leave me alone?
These decisions are all my own
I sit here in this false home
my sanctuary has become a cell. Its been 18 years in your controlling hell and Im so tired.
It seems you dont care, if you did you would be more fair. Nothing ever turns out right, but thats just part of life.
But you've got a flawed sense of right, like it or not, I will always fight. Prove you care and set me free, I can live independently.

Better Late Than Never

Look around, it's obvious. Baby time won't tell you who you are. It feels so monotonous, how did we get this far? And I'm dreading the day she'll see I'm not all I was cracked up to be, and my most fatal flaw is I let this get to me.
16's gone without a trace, we're running out of time to waste, I know we'll get it right, but we don't know when.
And to this very day, my deepest scars won't ever fade away. Suck it up or shut it out, I never used to feel this way. And I'm dreading the day I'll see, I'm not the person I wanted to be. The worried look upon her face will be the death of me.
17, barely scraping by, too late for another try. I know we'll get it right, but we don't know when.
(Look around, it's obvious, look around it's obvious)
And I'm dreading the day I'll see, I'm not getting better unfortunately, and my most fatal flaw is I let this get to me.
18 brings a brand new day, don't let this last chance slip away. I know we'll get it right but we don't know when.

Downward Spiral
03:04
|
|||
|
Humilation puts a price on being right, and I try to rectify, but it's just not worth the fight. Your eyes, they pull me in, but this time it wont work.
Oh honey, you outta know, what it's like to tear me down. And we will start this all over, build it up to break it down. If you want to.
I caught myself today, regret I felt that way, watching our love spiral down, down. Everything I felt inside, it all just gets denied, watching our love spiral down, down.
Girl you've done this before, you know I'll never learn. Don't look at me that way, build my hopes up to watch em burn. Girl, if only..

Stranded
04:04

Stranded, stuck inside my head, seems all I've ever known was only just a dream. Crazy, I'm a fucking psychopath, seems everyone's got a reason to be happy except for me, for me, for me, for me.
Life's short, too bad. Sad to know we can't live it all again. Regret, upset, we're losing it all to what we can't control. If I could turn back time, I wouldn't let a wasted day go by, I'd say everything without a second thought, and learn to simply live with what I've got.
Hopeless, hard to make it through the day, seems I took all that was mine and threw it all away. The end, nowhere left to turn. It's my own fault I'm watching all my dreams crash and burn, and burn, and burn, and burn.

Nothing's Gonna Change
01:15
|

|
You shut me down, leave me out. You don't know what, I scream about. All your words, they cut like a knife, I've never been happy with my life.
Sometimes I want to cry, sometimes I want to run. But nothing will change your mind, because whats done is done.
Arrows pierce my heart
nothing's gonna change
It all just stays the same
and the pain will never go away.

Set Free
02:45

Here she comes, she's lookin so fine. She's the only thing thats on my mind
Long blonde hair and sparkling eyes
She looks so good and she barely even tries
She smiles and looks over at me
It's something that everybody can see
You and I, we were meant to be, yeah
So take my hand and set your heart free
She's always on my mind
Something tells me that we'll be together till the end of time
Here we are, together finally, I know you'll be happier with me
Forget him, he's not worth your time
So come with me, I'm dying to make you mine

Pieces
04:18
|
|||
|
This is only the start, my mind is falling apart, the pieces shatter on the floor beyond repair. No matter what you say, I'll always stay this way, my heart has been replaced by a shell now thanks to you
Lost, I don't know where I'll go without you - I'm waiting here for you - But you won't take me back anymore.
You know I've always loved you, I heard you loved me too. Turned out to be lies and hatred in the end. Ever since you've turned your back, I've lost sense of direction. I don't know where I'll go now without you

The End
04:05
|

|
You ever feel like its a joke? Life suffocates until you choke, reality destroys all of your wildest dreams. On your face a fading smile betrays our collective denial, the end is closer than it seems. Really this is nothing more than what we've always had in store, to deny it all is oh so selfish. So draw one in and brace yourself, and it may or may not help, to remember we may come out better.
A change is gonna come, but I can't prepare myself. For all that we've become, was it temporary?
You ever feel like its a game? You know you only get 1 play, every choice you make is oh so crucial. What have you got left to say? We almost threw it all away, what can I do if my efforts are just in vain? Do the rest of you feel the same? Look at how far we have came - does it scare you to know we might never meet again. From the start right to the end, we've made enemies, we've made friends, through it all we have grown up together.
Oooooohhhhh x2
A life cut short at such a cost,
with brand new days, the old are lost.
Funny how you call me friend, will you be there in the end? Will you be there in the end?
Was it temporary? Were we temporary?
