HEARTIST LYRICS

1. What Kind Of World

Is there anybody left to save,
Or just vultures watching over me?
I'd like to think that we will be okay,
But hate won't lose its hunger until it drags us under.

I'm left to wonder:

What kind of world would that be?
Where greed and anger fill their eyes,
Where people can't find compromise?
What kind of world would that be?
If love fades and hope dies, we'll never make it out alive
Tell me, what kind of world would that be?

I look around at all I see: blank faces scarred by apathy
They say the world has changed as they regurgitate
Until the darkness takes me, I'll fight for better days

It’s safe to say I've found my place. I've found a better way

I'm left to wonder:

What kind of world would that be?
Where greed and anger fill their eyes,
Where people can't find compromise?
What kind of world would that be?
If love fades and hope dies, we'll never make it out alive
Tell me, what kind of world would that be?

What would it be?

It's safe to say I found my place
I found a better way

What kind of world would that be?
Where greed and anger fill their eyes,
Where people can't find compromise?
What kind of world would that be?
If love fades and hope dies, we'll never make it out alive
Tell me, what kind of world would that be? What would it be?

2. Black Cloud

You are the black cloud in my life
I try to walk away, but you follow me
You're the sun that blinds my eyes
I try to turn away but you're burning me

How are we meant to be when we just fell apart? We fell apart
Let's go ahead and play this game you've made,

'Cause I don't know who I used to be, but I think I see it now.
I let it go, but I won't forget everything you said.

So step back, and let it sink into your head.

You are the black cloud in my life
I try to walk away, but you follow me.
You're the sun that blinds my eyes
I try to turn away, but you're burning me.

For so long, for so long I felt the rain on my head.
For so long, for so long I felt the sun burn my skin.

Why are we so naive with all the lies today- the lies today?
So go ahead, cling to the prayers you say,

'Cause now I know what you mean to me, yeah, I think I see it now.
I let you go 'cause I won't forget everything you said.

You are the black cloud in my life- I try to walk away, but you follow me.
You're the sun that blinds my eyes.
I try to turn away, but you're burning me.

For so long, for so long I felt the rain on my head.
For so long, for so long I felt the sun burn my skin.

Is it sinking in? Is it sinking in yet?

Is it sinking in? Is it sinking in your head?

You are the black cloud in my life- I try to walk away, but you follow me.
You're the sun that blinds my eyes.
I try to turn away, but you're burning me.
For so long, for so long I felt the rain on my head.
For so long, for so long I felt the sun burn my skin.

Is it sinking in? Is it sinking in yet?

3. Skeletons

I've forgotten how to feel
These nights, they chill me
Light the way to something real
And save me from myself

You chase the cold from me
With you
I'm learning to see
I just need you to know

I tried to find a way
To bury all the pain
But these skeletons, these skeletons
These skeletons won't sleep

You gave me clarity
And showed me how to free
These skeletons, these skeletons
These skeletons in me,
These skeletons in me

How can I forget the past,
If it still haunts me?
Your ghost never fades away
When I gave up everything
You took a hold of me
And proved I'm more than a broken wing
I just need you to know

I tried to find a way
To bury all the pain
But these skeletons, these skeletons
These skeletons won't sleep
You gave me clarity
And showed me how to free
These skeletons, these skeletons
These skeletons in me,
These skeletons in me

Sympathy is hard to find,
So maybe life should be defined
By all the pain we left behind;
It rots inside our minds
You make me believe

I tried to find a way
To bury all the pain
But these skeletons, these skeletons
These skeletons won't sleep

You gave me clarity
And showed me how to free
These skeletons, these skeletons
These skeletons in me,
These skeletons in me
These skeletons in me
These skeletons in me

These skeletons in me

4. Pressure Point

You sneak your way in while I'm sleeping.
You're like a rat living life in a hole.
Abuse my body while I'm dreaming
In search of silver and gold.
Steal a piece of me.
Spread your disease to everything,
But keep your eye on me.
I'll rip your teeth out and take back my soul.

Write me out and I'll show you what you're missing.
Tear me down. I'm starting to see through the fiction you're feeding.
Sell yourself to the people you're deceiving.
Come clean with your secrets.
Your conscience will bury you; I'll dig the ditches.

You're just a leech with no conviction
You'd bleed me out if it furthered your goals.
You've made a game of all your treason,
And flash a grin as the pieces fall.
Here's your chance to make
Up for the lies and words you break.
Don't turn your back on me.
Give me a reason to crush what's left.
Give me a reason to show you the end.

Write me out and I'll show you what you're missing.
Tear me down. I'm starting to see through the fiction you're feeding.
Sell yourself to the people you're deceiving.
Come clean with your secrets.
Your conscience will bury you; I'll dig the ditches.

Your pride will take its toll.
I'm settling the score.
This is where your road runs out.
Always searching for an easy way.
But it won't be through me.

Write me out and I'll show you what you're missing.
Your pride will take it's toll.
Sell yourself to the people you're deceiving.
Come clean with your secrets.
Your conscience will bury you; I'll dig the ditches.

5. Ignite

Light gives way to darkness: comfort for the blind.
Make your bed with ignorance, a fractured state of mind.
Truth won't break the silence unless it's from inside,
So free yourself from innocence.
Illuminate the night.

Let yourself ignite.

Sometimes life is gonna hurt.
Sometimes there's a reason you've gotta let it burn.
Leave it all behind as ashes come to life.
Let the flames burn bright.
Let yourself ignite.

Something to remember: wisdom holds the key.
Lost inside, you soon will find what you're meant to be,
So dream like an inferno, turn them into gold.
Radiate the hope you've found, and never let it go.
Never let it go.

Sometimes life is gonna hurt.
Sometimes there's a reason you've gotta let it burn.
Leave it all behind as ashes come to life.
Let the flames burn bright.
Let yourself ignite. 'Nite!

'Cause truth won't break the silence, unless it's from inside.
Illuminate the night.
Illuminate the night.

Light gives way to darkness unless we come alive,
So be the change you need to see.
Let yourself ignite.

Sometimes life is gonna hurt.
Sometimes there's a reason you've gotta let it burn.
Leave it all behind as ashes come to life.
Let the flames burn bright.
Let the flames burn bright.
Let the flames burn bright.
Let yourself ignite. 'Nite!
Let yourself ignite. 'Nite!
Let yourself ignite!

6. Unbreakable

This is our moment.
This is our moment- we're unbreakable.

I can see I'm at the end of my rope
It's a terrible feeling to lose control
I've seen the sign, here, at the end of the road
It says there's no turning back,
But I swear I'm never letting go

This is our moment, our line in the sand
Bring on the riot; we'll fight ‘til the end
We're stronger than fire that's burning within
You should have known we're unbreakable

Uh-uh-oh. Unbreakable. Uh-uh-oh. Unbreakable.

I can see the fight has taken its toll,
But they can't drag us away from what we're owed
I've looked inside and there's a spark in us all
I know your spirit is fading,
But I swear I'm never letting go

This is our moment, our line in the sand
Bring on the riot; we'll fight ‘til the end
We're stronger than fire that's burning within
You should have known we're unbreakable

Uh-uh-oh. Unbreakable. Uh-uh-oh. Unbreakable.

Stand with me if you're ready to give everything
We're at war; fight for your dreams
Stand with me at the end of everything
You're the key- set us free

This is our moment... this is our moment...

This is our moment, our line in the sand
Bring on the riot; we'll fight ‘til the end
We're stronger than fire that's burning within
You should have known we're unbreakable

Uh-uh-oh. Unbreakable. Uh-uh-oh. Unbreakable.

This is our moment

7. Legacy

I've decided that today is the day.
To make a stand against the weak who resist the change.
So speak your mind, or take your tongue to the grave,
And give the young a chance to wash away the stains.

What if all we are is the worst of what we've done?

All we are is strength in numbers fighting for a change.
And when we're gone, we live forever through our legacy-
We stand as one and carry on.

I've decided that it's all that you know to bow your head
While you wait for the light to show.
But would the sun speak if you called out its name,
Or would it set, the same way you have in your ways?

What if all we are is the worst of what we've done?

All we are is strength in numbers fighting for a change.
And when we're gone, we live forever through our legacy-
We stand as one and carry on.

Ooh, oh. Ooh, oh.

All we are is strength in numbers (fighting for a change).
And when we're gone, we live forever (through our legacy).
We are one (all we are is strength in numbers, fighting for a change)
We are one
We will live forever (and when we're gone, we live forever through our legacy).
We will live forever

We stand as one and carry on.

8. Manipulate

I've been biting my tongue-
The line has been crossed and now there is hell to pay.
Enough is enough-
The truth's coming out if you like it or not.

Manipulate: it's the way you paint yourself into a saint.
(You're so consumed) in your righteousness, but I can see through.

I'll never be the one wasting life on futures I can't see.
I can do this on my own.
Don't take- don't take- don't take this personal.
You'll never see your shallow vision of the one you hoped I'd be.
What's it like to feel alone?
Don’t take- don't take- don't take this personal.

You've lost your dignity-
You've ruined your chances, so wipe that smirk off your face.
‘Cause it's already too late
You've already found a new friend of mine to...

Manipulate: it's the way you paint yourself into a saint.
You're so consumed in your righteousness, but I can see through.

I'll never be the one wasting life on futures I can't see.
I can do this on my own.
Don't take- don't take- don't take this personal.
You'll never see your shallow vision of the one you hoped I'd be.
What's it like to feel alone?
Don’t take- don't take- don't take this personal. Don't take this personal.

[Spoken:]
I've wasted so much of my life on you
And I'm sick of fixing parts of myself that I have never found fault in
Do you have any idea what it's like to watch the person you love become everything you hate?

I've seen that you're senseless, pathetic, and wretched.
Remorse is a lesson, so sit down; I'll teach you regret

So when he's all that's left.
I hope you give him your best, before he leaves you a wreck.
You have my blessing to fuck who you want- a fuck I give not.

I'll never be the one wasting life on futures I can't see.
I can do this on my own.
Don't take- don't take- don't take this personal.
You'll never see your shallow vision of the one you hoped I'd be.
What's it like to feel alone?
Don’t take- don't take- don't take this personal. Don't take this personal.

Don't take this personal.

9. Set Me Free

One more day.
I never thought you'd leave, but I packed up all your things.
Never had a clue you lied to me, but now it's plain to see.
We both had doubts, but we still had each other,
And that's all gone--yeah it’s all gone can't you see?

I'm not gonna live this way; you're never gonna change.
No, I don't want to die this way, and it's such a shame, ‘cause..

I think our days are numbered, and you're the one to blame.
If I could find a way, I'd make you fade away.
I'd break the ties that bind us. I'd make my great escape.
If I could find a way, I'd make you fade away.

It's like they say: nothing comes for free.
And you used me carelessly.
So stay true or set me free
And leave room for better things.
Well, I've broken down, and I've fought to recover,
But I stay strong, 'cause I found my clarity.

(No!) I'm not gonna live this way; you're never gonna change (you're never gonna change).
(No!) No, I don't want to die this way, and it's such a shame, ‘cause..

I think our days are numbered, and you're the one to blame.
If I could find a way, I'd make you fade away.
I'd break the ties that bind us. I'd make my great escape.
If I could find a way, I'd make you fade away.

Everybody's looking down on me, down on me, down on me... when I gave you everything.

I think our days are numbered, and you're the one to blame.
If I could find a way, I'd make you fade away.
I'd break the ties that bind us. I'd make my great escape.
If I could find a way, I'd make you fade away.

Sometimes love just isn't what it seems.
You threw me away.
Now that you're gone I think it's time I found the best in me.
I think I've found a way.

10. Ready To Change

All my life I've been defined by hiding the scars on my soul.
But given time, I'd be fine, if I could learn to let go.

And I'm sorry, but I'm closer to fixing those mistakes I've made.

Take me into your arms, breathe me into your heart, as I'm swimming my way through your veins.
Can't erase what I've done, or the man I've become.
But I swear that I'm ready to change.
I'm ready to change.

All my life I've been confined-
Consumed by the secrets I hold.
But I never tried to set it right, so maybe it's best I'm alone.

And I'm sorry, but I'm closer to fixing those mistakes I've made.

Take me into your arms, breathe me into your heart, as I'm swimming my way through your veins.
Can't erase what I've done, or the man I've become.
But I swear that I'm ready to change.
I'm ready to change.

I don't wanna live without you.
I don't wanna live without you.

Take me into your arms, breathe me into your heart, as I'm swimming my way through your veins.
Can't erase what I've done, or the man I've become.
But I swear that I'm ready to change.
I'm ready to change.

(I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready) I'm ready to change.
(I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready) Oh, I'm ready to change.

I don't wanna live without you (I'm ready to change).
I'm ready to change.

11. Demons

Pick up the pieces from the game I've lost.
I should have known that I was losing from the start.
When I look back and see the pain that I've caused,
Will I regret all the awful things I've done?

They'll haunt my dreams ‘til it's over.
Could my heart be any colder?

Demons, I know my demons-
They stood by me watching everything.
Demons, I know my demons-
They stood by me while I destroyed everything.
Demons, my demons are me.

It's time I paid the price for what I've been.
But if my voice would carry, I would make amends.
Tear back the covers on the lies that I've spread.
Rewind and start again.
Rewind and start again.

They'll haunt my dreams ‘til it's over.
Could my heart be any colder?

Demons, I know my demons-
They stood by me watching everything.
Demons, I know my demons-
They stood by me while I destroyed everything.
Demons, my demons are me.

Tears for my family: a prayer for lovers and the son they laid to rest.
Was my pride the end of me?
Rewind and start again.
Rewind and start again.

I never cried for sympathy and when it came, I just turned and walked away.
I wish you'd known what it meant to me.
I should have let you in-
Rewind and start again.
