1. Because You Believe In Something Beyond Them...
We found our fight, we found our fight
Be warned be scared, now say your prayers
Now say your prayers
Throwing bricks at the moon
But falling oh so short, I'll find a way to break the stars
I'm so sick of this thing gravity, I'm sick of them taunting me
The freedom of breaking ceilings
You don't have limitations when you see no boundaries
All you see is open fields for the taking
You don't have restraints when you don't know your limits
All you see is open skies expose the truth
Take your faith to the next step
You have a brain so use it, you have a voice so let's hear it
You lost sight, so get focused, you lost your faith so find it
When truth harassed your lips, it gave you the strength to press on
You're a big kid now so act like one, you're a martyr now so die like one
Falling in sacred potholes because that's all they are
Just holding cells, though I'm jealous of their peace,
expose the fear of the temporary
Screaming at the top of my lungs, I won't be drowned out forever
Frail words/promises provoked a change in me be warned,
be scared, the advent of truth is near
We found our fight expose the truth, take your faith to the next step
We're gonna burn, we're gonna burn for this
As flames long for flesh, they will have tested your faith
We're gonna burn, we're gonna burn for this
As they sift through the ashes they'll expose your faith
and may they never be the same
2. Broken Bottles
Oh no
Once scaled roof tops now only serve as lonely monuments
to remind us of what we've done
The peaceful skies feel so empty now,
we've compromised so much we don't dare look up
The gentle sound of rain drops now sound like angry screams,
we know why they're mad,
We're screaming for a hero and though his absence makes no sense,
the bloody mask you're holding does
The sweet fruit that our trees once bore have all lost their taste
and are full of worms we know this because we eat them anyway
How does your foot taste now? Has your wish brought you contentment?
You damned the rescue boat to sea who can save us now?
We're all gonna drown
Oh, no
Broken bottles lay like stain glass windows in search of cathedrals,
But all they'll ever find is bare skin,
Puncture veins, bleed me dry, fill me with an anesthetic and a lullaby,
So I can lay comfortably in this bed of broken glass
Screaming for someone to grant you mercy
but you don't know who to ask who will save us now?
3. All Talk No Heart
No more being okay with sugarcoated answers
Last time we let ourselves be so naive
Before we fall into the same rut of our damned ancestors
Taking blinders off were ready to see
The taste of blood was starting to make you sick,
So you stopped biting your tongue
I watched you hang for an idea, more like a passion you would not give up
You believed in yourself, but even more in the power of love
And in the presence of death with eyes on a noose
I fell to my knees, said I was sorry, and I died too
Find something that gets you outta bed
Find something that keeps you from sleep
Find something that won't leave you alone
Find anything, something's gotta change
No more acting like everything's okay
Last time we take a bribe for keeping our mouths shut
Refuse to be fooled by headlines on a page
And don't ever let anyone tell you who you are
The taste of blood was starting to make you sick,
So you stopped biting your tongue
I watched you hang for an idea, more like a passion you would not give up
You believed in yourself, but even more in the power of love
And in the presence of death with eyes on a noose
I fell to my knees, said I was sorry, and I died too
Find something that gets you outta bed
Find something that keeps you from sleep
Find something that won't leave you alone
Find anything, something's gotta change
All talk and no action
All talk and no heart
Realize the power to change but holding true to your beliefs
Because that's what sets you apart
Realize the power of fear and how to over come
Realize the power of truth it's worth the fight
All talk and no action
All talk and no heart
4. More Than Just Goodbye
When a flat line is the only thing I understand but can't control
I realized the importance of saying I loved you, because I do
This is more than just goodbye
It's not my place to understand, why things turn out like they do
The same way I cant help how much I'll miss you, because I do
Though torn apart, still in my heart
Did you notice who was there to see you off?
Your family who cared for you and loved you oh so much
I'll keep our memories, as well as the promises I made
Please look past my tears the same way you saw past all my faults, though you're
I'll know I'll see you again
Until then
Not a second sooner not a second more, at 10:40 you walked through that door,
but not alone, you were never alone
Things will be so different
This can't be real, this can't be happening,
it's not hard to see, I wasn't ready,
when you closed your eyes who knew the change it would bring,
but I'll have peace when I see you again
Things will be different
The beautiful light you were, lovingly blinded us all,
but things will be different
Something more than just goodbye
5. Settle For Stainless Steel
Can you feel it every time my lips kiss 10 five 83?
(It's all that's left, it's all you are)
I have to settle for stainless steel
(Stay respectful, stay away)
My fingers go over inscriptions that bear the name of someone
I've been dying to hold
The fear of stepping on toes
When you find something worth fighting for
You don't just walk away, you don't just let that go
When you find something you can't deny
Especially something you've looked for your whole life
We could look the other way and ignore whats in our face
Pass it off and move on
But I've been hurt enough to know
It's not the fall that proves to be fatal
It's when the hearts ignored
I won't stop 'til a broke finger is answered for
We found our fight
When you find something worth dying for
You'll feel it in your heart and you'll just know never let it go
We could look the other way
And ignore what's in your face
Pass it off, move on
But I've been hurt enough to know,
It's not the fall that proves to be fatal,
It's when the hearts ignored
I won't stop 'til a broke finger is answered for
Don't get hung up on threatening skies
Don't get hung up on sad goodbyes
Have faith that the sun will rise
I found my fight in green eyes, my fight in green eyes
6. New Use For Roses
Don't give up
This arrangement of flowers is dying for answers
And I won't let this go
This is so temporary I'm not ready to say goodbye
Because I've looked for you my whole life
Six feet from peace
And I've come too far to turn back now
Here I am,
And I know this sounds crazy but I think you can hear me
And when you finally wake up
Don't say you're sorry, don't say that I was right
Because I've looked for you my whole life
Six feet from peace
And I've come too far to turn back now
When tombstones lose their value and all that's left is an empty grave
I'll find an excuse for roses in honor of love saved
Let's go as far as this road may go
Let's face whatever consequences this love may bring
Six feet from peace, we've come too far to turn back now
7. Sad Panda
I miss her so much
Here I stand, an orphan
Left for dead in a brand new land
Hands stretched out as far as I can
Hoping, reaching, praying but no one stops
Memories get me by
And scars remind me that you weren't just a dream
Every night the same nightmare
And waking with the pain of being here
I remember a time when I had it all
She gave me a name, she gave me a home,
and I miss her so much I can't let her go
Forsaken and in search of a home
I'd have died with you if you would have let me,
instead of being here left for dead
I'd have died with you if you would have let me,
forsaken, alone she gave me a home
I remember a time when I had it all
She gave me a name, she gave me a home,
I miss her so much I can't let her go
Forsaken and in search of a home
