2. Never Walk Away

This may take some thought
To realize who you are and who you aren't
You're not what you see in their eyes
A reflection that's always haunting you
Why do this to yourself?
Just to be like everybody else
Don't let them tell you about the past
You and I both know you were a different person then
Which way to go?
To lead or follow?
Lead and they will follow you
I will never walk away
I found the one, I found my place
But we're going nowhere with so many moves to make
Together we can do anything
We'll keep searching
Let's go, you're worth more than you know
Entering the room
With our heads held high, we'll make it through
I reach for your hand and you take mine
Starting a fire that will never die
Try not to burn yourself just to be like everybody else
I told you I will never walk away

3. Day By Day

It seems like we have so much time
Dance party on the floor every night
Where am I?
I'm moving under the lights
All these chances that we take
All the memories that we make
You never know, yeah, you never know
So be careful if you do look back
You might fast-forward
What you spend in the past, you lose in the present
Then the future doesn't seem so far away
When everything is changing it's easy to get lost
That's why we live day by day
Ready to go we're up for anything
Just name your price, doesn't matter what it is
So, where am I?
I'm still moving around
All these people that we meet
All the nights that we don't sleep

4. Here's To You

It's all for you
We've done what you've asked of us
So we can bask in your benevolence
We created a pedestal and traded common sense for vanity
All your flocks of uninspired sheep
Do they make you feel less empty?
Here's to your plastic perfection
Here's to the vain and insatiable
Here's to the loneliness
Because you know you're dead inside
Here's to you, my dear
Now the time has come for me to break your chains, to find my own way
You'll never change, you will always be the same
Full of conceit and self-regarding
I need to stand for what I believe
You're the one that I'm escaping
It's all for you
(Here's to you)
Here's to our emptiness, our shallow insecurities and...
(Here's to you)
Here's to our high desire, our pursuit of wealth and power
Here's to your plastic perfection

5. Still Sleeping

Now I know that I've been dreaming
I've been asleep for far too long, for so long
And I know if don't wake up, I'll never truly be alive
I am lost in the dark
The walls are closing in
It's my fear I won't wake up again
These colors so vividly paint me in a scene
A scene that's not so different from reality
And I believe everything I see in my dreams
Reality is that I'm still sleeping
I don't know if my eyes are open
They've been closed for far too long, for so long
And I don't know if anybody else is here
Or am I all alone?
Reality is that I am still asleep
And we are asleep, our life is a dream
But sometimes we wake up just enough to know that we're dreaming
I am lost in the dark
The walls are closing in on me
My only fear is that I won't wake up again

6. Last Night

Early morning
Can't open my eyes
Hit the alarm, it's time to rise
You stare at me like I should burn and die
Is this deserved?
Let me know so I can try
To keep this love story we wrote page by page and note for note
She opens the door
Says she doesn't care anymore and just walks away
Made some mistakes last night
Drank too much and started a fight
Say what you mean, not what you don't
You can't take it back when everyone knows
Made some mistakes last night
Walked home in this city of white
Say what you mean, say it with me now
You can't take it back when everyone knows
Days gone by with no reply
Where are you?
Are you dead or alive?
All alone here while you're out living your life
So take what you need and then let's make this right
So I can try to keep this love story

7. A Midnight Drive

On a midnight drive
No destination
Speeding through this fog is like I'm running over ghosts that appear in my headlights
I know I'm trying to focus on the lines
But I get lost in the back of my mind
With no bags packed, a phone that's dead and cracked
Notice in the distance someone stands on the side of the road
The stars are shining bright
Do you need me tonight?
I'm sorry I can't stop
Someone learned the hard way once
The stars are shining bright
Do you need me tonight?
I wish that I could help
But I'll just pass you by
On a midnight drive, no destination
On a midnight drive
What now?
I see you but know what I've been told
Just keep looking forward with the pedal to the floor
You wave and shout
With locked doors, no stopping now
You were just a blur in my mirror on the side of the road
I'm sorry, I can't stop

8. Her Storm

This rain won't stop
Just keeps pouring off of your cheeks down to our feet
It keeps adding up, surrounding us
The sky is turning red
It's happening again
And I can't make it stop
There's no hope anywhere near us
It's storming outside, it's storming outside
When it's good, it's great, but when it's not all I feel is this hate
It's storming outside, I'll be running late tonight
She's drowning and pulling him under
The sorrow, the pain
The feelings, no wonder...
Depressed with an empty hole in their hearts
Kicking and screaming like the lightning and thunder
Well, it doesn't make much sense
To come so far and then leave with so many regrets
Make every moment count and be thankful that you're around
Because what we have is true
Don't let this consume you

9. The Tragedy

Stay close now
You are fading
Please hold on, help should be nearing
If you can hear me, trust the words I say
It's never okay if you're the one that ends up this way
Just know that I won't leave as long as you're still breathing
Like the life of this rose clenched in my fists
Squeezing so hard the thorns break my skin
With blood on my hands, falling to the floor
These carpet stains, they can't be ignored
Every time that I try to do something right, it's like that something dies
So go on and cause it
The tragedy, it's my misery
Through all this time, no one else has arrived
I'll see what I can do
It's just me and you
No promises as I enter your wounds
Digging deeper for you
Deeper than you ever knew

[© 2015 Music by R. Cosgrove | Lyrics by P. Kreuger/R. Cosgrove]

10. Letting Go

It's your choice
Take me back, but do you know where back is?
Will there be consequences someone overlooked?
Is there a room?
Or will I rot outside as you forget me?
Joining the others who were thrown into the grave
Can you ask yourself what am I thinking?
I thought you completed me
I could hide behind your pretty face
But I don't need you now
Without you I am so much more
I can finally see these things as my life becomes clearer
You say that you know, but you won't until you let go
Of everyone that you love and everything that you own
Find your way through the darkness
Don't be overlooked
I'm trying to
Step after step I'm getting farther from you
But then I trip and fall back down into the grave
It's my choice, I won't go back
It's my choice, I'll dig my own grave
It's my choice, I'm letting go
(Bury me and just let me be)
(Bury me, this is all I need)
(Bury me and here I will stay)
(Bury me and just walk away)
I can finally see these things as my life becomes so much clearer
You say that you know, but you won't until you let go
You say that you know, so just let this go
Let it go
