Fight for Me
04:06
|
|||
|
I'm holding unloaded guns
Filling chambers with my fate
I hold them up and fire twice
With my panic and my haste
I am nothing without God
But I fire anyway
I am shooting with my flaws
And I cannot hit a thing
I get it wrong, you get it right
You're never far from me
'Cause I get it wrong all of the time
Until you fight for me
Then I get it right, I finally get it right
I finally get it right when you fight for me
I close my eyes and calibrate
Voids held deep within my soul
I'm trying hard to fool myself
That I'm better off alone
I am nothing without love
But I fight it anyway
I am losing with my heart
And I cannot win a thing
I get it wrong, you get it right
You're never far from me
'Cause I get it wrong all of the time
Until you fight for me
Then I get it right, I finally get it right
I finally get it right when you fight for me
All this angers wrong
All my pride has lost
Messed up to the core
I'm so full of it
And I cannot pretend
That I fought this whole thing
Without you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because the angels light the way
I'm holding unloaded guns
Filling chambers with my fate
I hold them up and fire twice
With my panic and my haste
I am nothing without God
But I fire anyway
I am shooting with my flaws
And I cannot hit a thing
I get it wrong, you get it right
You're never far from me
'Cause I get it wrong all of the time
Until you fight for me
Yeah I get it wrong, you get it right
You're never far from me
'Cause I get it wrong all of the time
Until you fight for me
Then I get it right, I finally get it right
I finally get it right when you fight for me

Place Where We Belong
04:31

Doll if I was yours
I would breathe you all the time
And protect you from the worst
But I don't know who you are
Feed the hope in me
Haunt me in my dreams
I believe in love
But I don't know who you are
Chorus:
Fooled tonight
'Cause I don't know who you are
I will find you in the place where I belong
Born to love
But I don't know who you are
You will find me in the place where you belong
This insanity
Is a two-fold wonder war
We're both stumbling in the dark
'Cause we don't know who we are
Find the light in me
Let's defy the odds
I believe in luck
When I don't know who you are
Fooled tonight
'Cause I don't know who you are
I will find you in the place where I belong
Born to love
But I don't know who you are
You will find me in the place where you belong
Fooled tonight
'Cause I don't know who you are
I will find you in the place where I belong
Born to love
But I don't know who you are
You will find me in the place where you belong
Born to love
But I don't know who you are
You will find me in the place where you belong

All These Memories
04:40
|
|||
|
All these memories tie me down
With a lot of heavy rope
I tried to break these strands
With all my angst
Only I know what I’ve been through
You can’t tell me who I am
I’m the one who’s been through enough
To understand
There’s a reason to erase
All these memories I can’t take
Pulled out of inspiration
I’m a mess now and a lie
There’s no fight left inside
To keep me up
Find me a little anger
And I’ll show you a little hate
You’re my family and I love you
Please help me change
There’s a reason to erase
All these memories I can’t take
There’s a reason I can’t stand
All these memories in my head
There’s a reason to erase
All these memories I can’t take
There’s a reason I can’t stand
All these memories in my head

Inside Yourself
03:24
|
|||
|
It's alive inside yourself
A light so vast it cannot rest
Direction lost
When the guide resides inside yourself
You will know
Cradles deny ascent home
Assigned this life
When the guide resides inside yourself
You will know denials all that's left
Who you are is more than who you say you are
Grace is you
Don't be shy
You'll peek inside yourself and find
You'll sneak inside yourself for warmth
They want you home wallowing again
You will be again
But until the time is right
You're here building delight
Tear, tear down what you aren't
Reside inside yourself and find

Come to Code
03:13
|
|||
|
All my ways aren’t always right
It’s on the table, all my intentions
All my life I’ve never been liked
For how I label your own perception
It’s sad to say you’re wrong
It’s wrong to say I’m always right
You change your mind just so you’re loved
You’ve come to code
Born into your only sight
You think it’s always about your vision
Well who’s to say you’ve never been off
You’re far from candid, you’re far from vision
Who’s to say you’re wrong
And who’s to say I’ve never been right
Your mind is fixed in endless stare
You’ve come to code
You’re weak, you’re less
You’re food because you’re flawed
He’s fake, but he’s more
He’s more because you’ve lost
Oh what a scene, we’re always fighting for better image
Oh what a scene, we always fight
Why don’t you fight for sanity
Why don’t you fight for what you love
Why don’t you fight to end the scene
End the scene of this war
Of this war…
All my ways aren’t always right
Yeah all my ways aren’t always right
All my ways aren’t always right
Don’t come to code

Daily Dose
02:44
|
|||
|
Had my daily dose
It's caged, this curse in me
I want the world to know
I'm not a ghost who's free
So let me go
And lay my haunts to rest
Tell me how to reach
A garden without hurts
I want my lungs to breathe
Without this rage between
So let it out
Allow my thoughts to rest
They test this fire in me
I live my daily dose
I need my heart to believe
That there is always hope
Despite my daily dose
Despite my daily dose
Despite my daily dose
Despite my daily dose

Crawl
04:01
|
|||
|
Pour me some water
My thirst is strong
This well is dry
I'm vulnerable
Trapped in dark's oblivion
Plan my escape
While I'm still young
Rip me down
Hear me out
Rip me down again
Silent screaming
My passion trumped
I buried thoughts
Where I belong
Tell them all
I will not bow
To their deceitful ignorance
Rip me down
Hear me out
Rip me down again
Tell me I'm okay
My will is halfway gone
I think they bent it
Tell me I'm okay
I think my will bent off
My nerve still pressing on
Crawl all the way out, I'll
Crawl all the way out, I'll
Crawl all the way out, I'll
Crawl 'til I am free again
Pour me some water
My thirst is strong
This well is full
Of ignorance

One Man Show
04:22
|
|||
|
Tell me I'm your everything
Build me up until we're one
Falling into atrophy
Holding onto what we lost
Slowly pricing every memory
Want these feelings to die
Hold me I'm alone tonight
Feed me I'm a lonely man, I know
When it feels so unending
Hold me I'm alone tonight
See me I'm a lonely sight, I know
When it feels like a one man show
Don't you dare untangle me
Tempted by the words you pose
Suddenly remembering
All the reasons that we lost
Pushy, needy, so demeaning
Wanting out alive
Hold me I'm alone tonight
Feed me I'm a lonely man, I know
When it feels so unending
Hold me I'm alone tonight
See me I'm a lonely sight, I know
When it feels like a one man show
For tonight, all I need is one less meal
Been denied, take my time for this heart to heal
Feel the light, better luck when it comes next time
Be the one I want to be
Forget this past that's haunting me
Hold me I'm alone tonight
Feed me I'm a lonely man, I know
When it feels so unending
Hold me I'm alone tonight
See me I'm a lonely sight, I know
When it feels so unending
Hold me I'm alone tonight
See me I'm a lonely sight, I know
When it feels like a one man show

Don’tchya know
Gotta beat your mind
To defeat yourself
Don’tchya know
What you built inside
To deceive yourself
Oh I am high
I am built by belief
And I know that you fear
That you can’t one up me
Don’tchya know
Gotta beat your lies
To believe yourself
Don’tchya know
Gotta free your mind
To release yourself
Oh I am high
I am built by belief
And I know that you fear
That you can’t one up me
Don’tchya know
What you feed your mind
To delete yourself
Don’tchya know
You cannot hide
So face yourself
Oh I am high
I am built by belief
And I know that you fear
That you can’t one up me
And I know that my height
Is the height of the wall in your mind
There’s a wall in your mind
Break the wall in your mind
Break the wall in your mind
Break the wall in your mind
Break the wall in your mind
Break the wall in your mind
Break the wall in your mind
Break the wall in your mind
Break the wall in your mind

On My Own
04:52
|
|||
|
All I’m feeling
Lost in meaning
I am seeking
But I don’t know where to go
Yet I feel it like a rage
Building in my mind
Needing to derive the soul on my own
On my own
Finally I am there
In the place where I am found
But the garden is a void
And I really need you now
Well it’s my mistake
Darling it’s fate
And the cards are mine to hold on my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
Well I feel like I can make it
I am on my way
And I feel like I’m hiking into home
The wilderness won’t break me
I am hard to break
But I feel like I am naked all alone on my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
On my own
On my own
On my own…

Freedom for a Rebel
05:53
|
|||
|
Life is like a dream
A world of make believe
I liken what I see
To worlds within your reach
I cannot decide
Decisions that you write
But I can let you know
That you are not alone
So listen when I tell you
That the movement that you want
Stands right in front of where you are
The purpose that you’re given
Is the mission that I’ve known
We’ll both be on the radio
You’re finding what you’re needing
But it’s nothing that you want
You want to find your way alone
You’d like to have your freedom
But you’re up against this wall
You’d like to climb your way alone
The passion that you’re looking for
Is the drive that you won’t take
You have the will, I’ll steer the way
The sooner you enjoy the ride
Then the sooner I’m allayed
Or I swear to God we’ll both be late
You’re finding what you’re needing
But it’s nothing that you want
You want to find your way alone
You’d like to have your freedom
But you’re up against this wall
You’d like to climb your way alone
If you decide you’d rather believe you’re only free when I’m gone
Then I’ll decide to let you be free in missing me when I’m gone
You’re finding what you’re needing
But it’s nothing that you want
You want to find your way alone
You’d like to have your freedom
But you’re up against this wall
You’d like to climb your way alone
You're finding what you're needing
But it’s nothing that you want
You want to find your way alone

You Colored Me
04:19
|
|||
|
Lord, I write this song to pray to you
It’s a song about the odds you put me through
It’s so hard to understand
Your attitude and your subtle plan
But I know I’ll come to see
Exactly why you’ve colored me
Yeah you colored me
It’s always been a stain upon my mind
All the failure and all the anger left behind
I’ve been lost to pain and fear
I don’t know why, but I’ll persevere
There’s still so much I’d like to say
All that matters now is you’ve colored me
Yeah you colored me
Love was sheltered in angled up hate
You were calling and calling my name
But no light was getting through
Lord, I was angry at you (You left my heart)
You wouldn’t bend time (I need your love)
‘Til my anger was through (I might dissolve)
Now it’s over (I might dissolve)
In my head (I made it through)
God it’s over (This might dissolve)
In my head (I made it through)
