Verse 1:
Our ear drums were broken with words the Teaching's spoke.
Remember what we're feeling when they blind our eyes with smoke.
We will not give in to the memories you took.
We give in to ourselves but...
Chorus 1:
You can't discredit everything they say.
They built this, they built this.
It doesn't mean I have to place my soul...
In their hands, in their hands.
Speak loudly just to prove your point.
It's all show, it's all show.
I'll do better when I'm on my own.
On my own. On my own.
Verse 2:
Held on to convictions.
Slept with my contents.
Gave in to temptations with guilt and with regrets.
Learn to speak for yourself and make your own mistakes.
But here we are still shouting...
Chorus 2:
You don't listen to a word I say...
Cause I'm too young, I'm too young.
Too dense to appreciate...
What you've done, what you've done.
A sincerity so pure...
It's unbroken, it's unbroken.
When we're older we'll believe in this...
Cause it's what's right.

Verse 1:
I fought for the truth.
So I'll keep my head up.
I'm worthwhile to some.
And for some, I'm no one.
Chorus 1:
The writing's on the wall.
Come see his rise and fall.
Can't make a difference now.
You're programmed to de-louse.
Verse 2:
Sometimes I can't cope.
I lose sight of what's true.
The truth is, I'm not sure.
But I'll get better along the way.
Chorus 2:
You're already a ghost.
Looking for a body that feels like home.
Can't make a difference now.
Mouth's moving, but there's no sound...
Coming back to you.
I feel a little strange.
And so should you.
Bridge:
Come alive, so I can know.
Come alive, I'll hold my own.
Come alive, so I can see.
Come a live, and put my doubts to sleep.

Verse 1:
I use to feel so smart.
Taking hand me downs and worn out thoughts.
I want it but I don't know. I want it but I don't know.
I came to terms with it.
I'm getting older, but that don't mean that
My mind is always made up.
My mind is always changing for the worse.
Verse 2:
Born a control freak. I work on things, but can't shake it off.
I love you, but I'm not sure. I love you but I'm not sure.
How will my time spent reflect on things I could have been.
Stop asking stupid questions. Stop asking where we go when we...
Chorus:
Back pedal to a better time when things went hectic.
I lost my faith. I lost my faith.
Burn the ozone with things you say.
That the things you say you can't erase.
You can't erase...
Verse 3:
I've never lost a thing.
Never mourned for loss or got on my knees and prayed for something better.
Asked for something meaningful.
I know I've made my bed. I just wish someone else would lie in it and tell me things get better.
Tell me to not be so afraid.
Bridge:
Theories are too loco.
I love you, but I don't.
I can't believe my ears. I can't believe my ears.
Shout it from the rooftops.
You feel so apathetic.
I can't believe my ears. I can't believe my ears.

Verse 1:
Empty yourself.
You won't be bothered anymore.
Scared to focus.
So no more questions anymore.
Chorus:
Always give in to the light the brings you home.
Never give in to lethargic attempts at love.
Verse 2:
Days waste. Lies spread.
Guilt subsides your dread.

Verse 1:
In the summer I had a book of issues.
Full of resentment.
I couldn't be around you.
I wanted more time. You wanted to jump into...
The thing that killed us, yet it made you so happy.
Verse 2:
You got drunk and I needed to assist you.
My naivety looked past all used up tissues.
I got bad off. I needed warmth and guidance.
It's all that simple. True love can't be divided.
Chorus:
Don't you know why I lost you?
Good friend, so long, we're through.
Verse 3:
It ended quiet with no real pain surrounding.
Obligation is what brought you around me.
But I lost something bigger than both of us.
I lost progression for a few years to come.
Chorus:
Talk for days about nothing.
Got caught up in our lucid dream.
Bridge:
Lock the door then pull me in.
Spend some time with all your long lost friends.
I use to know exactly what I wanted to be.
