WORD UP! LYRICS

1. The Dark Passenger

I've been tied by a chain to dead weight
The past will never let me go.
I've been trying to let go for so long now
set fire to all my ghosts.
Scars open wide, empty inside,
hollowed out by pain. Theres secrets that I've kept hidden away.

All the ghost's I've bottled up inside are haunting my mind.
All the ghost's I've bottled up inside are secrets that I left behind.

All of the pain accumulates
snowballs into a fuel of hate.
The mask that I wear is slowly slipping.
and its beginning to reveal everything I've hidden.

Tonight the dark-side rides, and the monster inside no longer hides.

All the ghost's I've bottled up inside are haunting my mind.
All the ghost's I've bottled up inside are secrets that I left behind.

2. Wild World

We've made it all these years.
But we've lost friends along the way.
Nothing can replace this empty space.
We know we've got each other
and we know there's no "forever"
The skies our limit and we will push it
if we ever reach the top.

So here to all the years of laughter, pain and tears.
To the ones we lost along the way.
We all know that in the end .
Everything will be ok.
So here to all the years of laughter, pain and tears.
To the ones we lost along the way.

Everything will be ok.

3. Cabin Fever

This is the feeling of lost.
No answers. No meaning.
I'm still searching for the feel of completion
There's no feeling like lost.
I love it, I need it,
Like there's something more to live or to die for.
I follow the horizon.

Where is home when your feeling soulless?
Where is home when you have no direction?

This is the feeling of lost.
I love it. I need it.
I'm still searching for feel of completion
Waiting is wasting, there's places to be.
Waiting is wasting for people like me.
I have never felt so far from home.

Where is home when your feeling soulless?
Where is home when you have no direction?

Waiting is wasting for people like me.

4. Rats

Rats in my head,
A plague. A disease,
scratching away discontent is bleeding.
Staring at the roof watching time pass by
as my sinking thoughts flood the middle night.

Bleeding eyes of a sleepless night,
watching sand sift slowly by.
Bleeding eyes of a sleepless night,
beaten by the midnight fight.

Time decays, and rots away.

When the lights go out the ghosts come out to play.
I've been thinking, drowning, sinking inside My mind.
Day Light's creeping up on me so I say goodbye to a good nights sleep again.
Another night alone.

I've got rats in my head,
A plague. A disease,
scratching away discontent is bleeding.
Staring at the roof watching time pass by
as my sinking thoughts flood the middle night.

Time decays, and rots away.

Eyes wide, the silence feeds my mind.
The silence has broken. The ghosts have woken.
Theres no peace in sleep if all nightmares are dreams.

So much for the good night sleep that I've been bid tonight.

5. Home Is Where The Heart Is

Summer is here.
These are the best days of our lives.
Hanging out with all my friends.
The best of memories.

Jonson Street on a Friday night.
Possum Creek, summer lovin, Jumping off the bridge.
Surfing, skating, hanging out.
The best of memories.

This is the place I call home.
This is where my heart belongs.
You wont take this away from me
This is all that I have.

Time flies when you're having fun.
Another year of summer love.
When we move on and all grow up.
We'll remember and always know

Home is where the hearts is.
The best of memories.
Home is where the hearts is.
The best days of our lives.

home is where the hearts is!

6. Autumn Falls

Here in Paradise, Autumn Falls and nothing dies.
There's something in the air.
Cause every breath I take, I close my eyes and it takes me away.
Fresh air percolates and pain longer floods my veins.
On the inside I find peace, like the silence of falling leaves.

Hold this moment.
Take a breath, Breath it in.
Hold this moment.
A bit of peace, some clarity.
Cause I've been drowning in the shallow water.
I just can't seem to find my feet.

If heavens paradise then Im already dead.
Let the waves wash away all of whats left.
Blue sky's open wide. I drown inside my mind.

7. Rock Bottom

What does it take to survive?
I'm looking at my life through the Devils eyes.
And he's ready to take me.
Take what ever is left and recreate me.
A new man made from stone.
I've given all the warmth from my heart and now it's gone cold.
I've given all the warmth from my heart and now it's stone cold.

Stone cold I cant feel anything.
Stone cold I cant feel anymore.

All hope is dead,
I tried and I tried and now there is nothing left.
Turned to the dark-side.
Cause it's the only place where I feel alive.
The bitter taste of stone.
I've given all the warmth from my heart and now it's gone cold.
I've given all the warmth from my heart and now it's stone cold.

Stone cold, I cant feel anything.
Stone cold, I cant feel anymore.

Im growing cold, the beating is freezing in my chest.

I've been sinking.
This is rock bottom.
I was once told.
This is a cold world...

8. Through These Eyes

See through these eyes.
Faces change a millions times.
Like rats they come and go.
And their teeth are sinking deeper Into the skin
tearing holes in this place I've called my home.
Where I can let go of everything inside.

Through these eyes.
This is the only place where I forget everything.
Through these eyes.
This is the only place where I can lose my mind.

I'm holding on,
This is all I've got.
Everything else lays in pieces.
This is all I've got.
I've got no other place to break this cage.

Break this cage!

This is the only place I feel alive.

9. Interlude

10. Carry On

So we say goodbye
and let the doves fly home.
We remember all the memories,
anything, just to feel your love again.
Cause there's no colour in this world.
There's no colour with out you.
So we say goodbye.
So we, So we say goodbye.

And You wont be left behind. Your heart carries on in our minds.
The times that we had we'll hold close and we'll always remember.

Nothing is going to change, I still think of you every second of the day.
And I can still see your face, it flashes through my mind every time I close my eyes.

So we say goodbye and let the doves fly home.

So this is pain. Don't say you'll never feel again.
Some times we hate the world for all the wrong reasons.
But this is life, and sometimes life will bring us down.
Just remember ill be there for you, I know you'll be there for me.

Nothings going to change, I still think of you every second of the day.
I can still see your face, it flashes through my mind every time I close my eyes.

11. Short Fuse

I need some time alone inside my head.
I've got to dig through all these vines and make some sense of this mess.
I can feel the rage like a lion in a cage. I'm about to break and this worlds about to shake.
Give me room to breathe I'm suffocating.
It feels like all the walls are closing in on me.
I can't escape.

I can feel it building inside me. Something that I fear, that I can no longer hide.
The bottle's breaking. I feel it coming to life.
There something that I've buried deep down inside.

Deep down inside of Me.
