Run Away

Don't play the game, you know they banned us
We don't obey the rules at all
We are the ones they call the villains
Oh, can't you see we need to run?
I know you think, oh what's the point now?
The bird is scared to leave the cage now
I could, I could, I could run away with you
I could run away with you
Wanna run away with you
Don't look back, take off and run away with me
Find a way to run with me
Now it's only you and me
I think I know just what you're feeling
Your hands are tied, can't make a move
This straight jacket that you're wearing
Won't keep you warm, it's killing you (You-woo-woo)
Unleash your heart, it's suffocating
Unleash your heart and set it free now
I could, I could, I could run away with you (I could run away)
I could run away with you
Wanna run away with you (I could run away)
Don't look back, take off and run away with me (Off and run away with me)
Find a way to run with me (With me)
Now it's only you and me (With me, with me)
I promise they will never find us (I promise they will never find us)
We'll hide so well that they'll forget (They will forget about us, babe)
We'll have our happy ever after (We'll have our happy ever after)
We won't remember the regret
Please see that I, I could run away with you (I could run away)
Wanna run away with you (I could run away)
I could run away with you (Wanna run away)
Please take my hand, come and run away with me (I could run away)
Find a way to run with me (You-woo-woo-woo)
Now it's only you and you and you and me
I could, I could, I could run away with you (I promise they will never find us)
I could run away with you
Wanna run away with you, away with you
Don't look back, take off and run away with me (We'll have our happy ever after)
Find a way to run with me
Now it's only you and me

Marathon
03:23

Dry leaf, dry leaf on the sidewalk
Used to be a part of something so much bigger than life
Used to, used to have emotions
Now I'm here unconscious
Waiting to be crushed
Time is running a marathon
And it doesn't stop for me
Soon I'll be a memory
Even that's no guarantee
I remember, I remember
When life was pulsing through my veins
And the sun rays, and the moonlight
And you were there for me holding my hand
We were so full of life
And you didn't even say goodbye
So now, now I wait
Useless, useless expectations
Lies and void sensations
Troubled mind and empty heart
Take it, down it like a potion
Screw your old devotions
Wait for it to start
Time is running a marathon
And it doesn't stop for me
Soon I'll be a memory
Even that's no guarantee
I remember, I remember
When life was pulsing through my veins
And the sun rays, and the moonlight
And you were there for me holding my hand
We were so full of life
And you didn't even say goodbye
So now, so now
Now I wait
I remember, I remember
When life was pulsing through my veins
And the sun rays, and the moonlight
And you were there for me holding my hand
We were so full of life (So full of life)
And you didn't even say goodbye (Say goodbye)
You probably forgot (Didn't even say goodbye)
But I'm never gonna stop running that marathon
That marathon (Running that marathon)
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Preparing For The Fall
04:03
|
|||
|
We're driving along the old country road
The sky is on fire and the trees are green
You're singing a song, a beautiful song
You're taking me places that I've never been
But somewhere within I'm feeling a sting
That won't let me be happy, no matter what
It's hard to believe that this time it's real
Cause it all sounds the same
I have been preparing for the fall
Just in case you decide to let go
I've been preparing for the fall
Just in case you decide to let go
You're saying to me these beautiful things
When you hold my hand I feel strong
I wanna believe your feelings are real
I wanna open up and just let it go
But somewhere within I'm feeling a sting
That won't let me be happy, no matter what
So anxious and scared, it's like I'm impaired
Am I wasting my time?
I have been preparing for the fall
Just in case you decide to let go
I've been preparing for the storm
That will follow when you are gone
I have been preparing for the fall
Just in case you decide to let go
I've been preparing for the storm
That will follow when you are gone
In your eyes I can see that you're honest with me
Or at least that is what I wanna believe
In your soul I can tell that you're honest as well
Could it be a mistake?
Another mistake?
I have been preparing for the fall
Just in case you decide to let go
I've been preparing for the storm
That will follow when you are gone
I have been preparing for the fall (I've been preparing, I've been preparing)
Just in case you decide to let go
I've been preparing for the storm (I've been preparing, I've been preparing)
That will follow when you are gone (Follow when you are gone)

Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
I think tonight is the night I leave the sorrow behind
And I dance 'til the stars go off
I'm breaking free of the fight
Your empty seat on my mind
Is 'bout to be overthrown overnight
And I see your face everywhere I go
I'll just find a place where you don't belong (Don't belong, ah-ah)
I'm taking off without you, babe
I'll breathe the air, I'll ride the waves
I think today is the day I push the darkness away
And I turn my face up to the sky
The lion's showing the way
His fiery mane is ablaze
He knows I'm just learning to fly
You're not one of those who were meant to stay
You just stood and stared before you ran away (Ran away)
I'm taking off without you, babe (I am taking off)
I'll breathe the air, I'll ride the waves (all without you, babe)
The forest's green, the river wild (I am taking off)
I'm feeling free just like a child (Free just like a child)
Get up
Move away from all that holds you back
Lionheart, you can fight it
Life happens in the line of fire
Oh-oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I'm taking off without you, babe (Oh I am taking off)
I'll breathe the air, I'll ride the waves (All without you, babe)
The forest's green, the river wild (Oh, the river wild)
I'm feeling free just like a child (I'm feeling free, feeling free just like a child)
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Do you ever wonder
If they understand you when you don't speak?
Eyes are full of void
And you heart destroyed
Have you been a stranger
In a room where you were told you belong?
Never once complained
Nothing to be gained...
No matter who you're with now
No matter where you're bound
Just listen to the leaves now
Their rustle on the ground
It's all that matters, boy
There's nothing to destroy (There's nothing, nothing)
It passes and it goes (There's nothing, nothing)
The rhythm never slows
Do you ever wonder
Maybe you are the only one who can see
Past the veiled disguise of your mirrors' lies?
Am I seeking shelter? (Am I seeking shelter?)
Can I be a shelter to someone else?
Do I know the rules?
Are there any rules? (Are there any rules?)
No matter who you're with now
No matter where you're bound
Just listen to the leaves now
Their rustle on the ground
No matter who you're with now (There's nothing, nothing)
No matter where you're bound
Just listen to the leaves now
Their rustle on the ground
It's all that matters, boy
There's nothing to destroy (There's nothing, nothing)
It passes and it goes (There's nothing, nothing)
The rhythm never slows (There's nothing, nothing)

He is Watching
04:21
|

|
I've never been the fearless
The kind of guy that knows the way
Always second-guessing, and yet I live another day
Caught between the margins
So much unsaid forever
I cannot see you, but somehow I know you are there
Worlds apart in life, but I still remind myself
He is watching
He knows what you're about now
There'll never be a mortal that stands in your way
He is watching
And now he understands you
And now there is no reason to hide from yourself
I'm good at keeping secrets
I could've lived a bitter lie
Walk around pretending that I'm not letting life go by
All the time I've wasted, so much unsaid forever
I cannot hear you, but somehow I know you agree
Worlds apart in life, but in death you're here with me
He is watching
He knows what you're about now
There'll never be a mortal that stands in your way
He is watching
And now he understands you
And now there is no reason to hide from yourself
Now that you have seen, you know how I feel
But for me the story's forever still
He is watching
He knows what you're about now
There'll never be a mortal that stands in your way
He is watching
And now he understands you
And now there is no reason to hide from yourself

Guilty

All I ever seem to do is wrong you
Always gonna be the one to blame
Never heeding those who don't conform to
Your ideals, or the world you know
I am here, and I'll say it loud an clear
In your line of fire
In your line of fire
I brave the field and cross it to your door
In your line of fire
In your line of fire
I won't be feeling guilty anymore
Can't you see that I'm not here to serve you?
Can't you see that I am here for me?
Lose your mind whenever I defy you
I am not the child who lived in fear
I held back, but I won't be there for the next attack
In your line of fire (in your line of fire)
In your line of fire
I strip my pride and leave it by your door (won't be feeling guilty anymore)
In your line of fire (won't be feeling guilty anymore)
In your line of fire (won't be feeling guilty anymore)
I won't be holding tears back anymore
And I know that blood will tie us together forever
I know
But I can decide who gets to stay in my life
And guess what
You're not one of them
In your line of fire (in your line of fire)
In your line of fire (in your line of fire)
I brave the field and cross it to your door (won't be feeling guilty anymore)
In your line of fire (won't be feeling guilty anymore)
In your line of fire (won't be feeling guilty anymore)
I won't be feeling guilty anymore
In your line of fire
In your line of fire
I strip my pride and leave it by your door (won't be feeling guilty anymore)
In your line of fire (won't be feeling guilty anymore)
In your line of fire (won't be feeling guilty anymore)
I won't be holding tears back anymore

Absolutely Nothing

Sitting around, anger inside
Fingers typing up words tryna' revive something that died
Maybe you and I lost each other
Or maybe you just chose to settle with another
Friend, oh friend
It must mean a thing or two
Couldn't pass that seven-year mark though, not you
Everything we've been through together
I pour myself another glass
I know this will change nothing
Absolutely nothing
Oh-oh nothing
Absolutely nothing
Maybe this time around
Maybe this one will open your eyes
And thaw your insides, but oh no
I don't think that yet another letter
Can make this situation any kind of better
Oh, what a shame (What a shame)
I've been calling your name
I've been fighting so hard, you've been playing a game (Playing games)
And it's hard to admit that you don't give a shit (Now I know)
But you don't, now I know (Tables turn)
Tables turn and you'll get nothing
Absolutely nothing
Oh-oh nothing
Absolutely nothing
Oh-oh nothing
Absolutely nothing
Oh-oh nothing
Absolutely nothing
I miss you (I miss you)
Why don't you come to me? ( I miss you)
You never came to me (Why don't you come to me?)
You never came to me (Why don't you come)
All these years (You never came to me)
Best friends (We were family)
We were family
I don't know what to do (Best friends)
What are you waiting for? (What are you waiting for)
What's the point of this? (Why did you give up? we were family)
Why did you give up? (Is this gonna change anything?)
Why did you give up? (Is this gonna change anything?)
We were family
Is this gonna change anything? (We were family)
Is this gonna change anything?
Oh-oh nothing
Absolutely nothing
Oh-oh nothing
Absolutely nothing
Oh-oh nothing
Absolutely nothing
Oh-oh nothing
Absolutely nothing

There Was a Time
04:06

There was a time I wished for sunshine
There was a time I wished for snow
No matter how I tried to plan ahead, it never worked
'Cause life has always, always a surprise in store for me
There was a time the future scared me
There was a time it seemed so grim
Like I would not be able to walk down the street with him
Like nobody could ever understand the song within
Remember this on your mark
The world is not only light and dark
And the chase may not end in a win
Remember this on your mark
The world is not only light and dark
And the chase may not end in a win
There was a time I wished for freedom
There was a time I wished for you
But time has passed and I've discovered better things to do
I've learned to laugh and found myself a world I never knew
Remember this on your mark
The world is not only light and dark
And the chase may not end in a win
And if you want to survive
You need to learn how to be alive
Every choice that you make is a gift
Never mind if you still cannot feel it
Feelings never remain as they (Never remain as they are)
Keep your eyes on the road
Autopilot's off
And you'll go very far
There was a time I wished for sunshine
There was a time I wished for snow
Snow-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Remember this on your mark (This mark)
The world is not only light and dark
And the chase may not end in a win
And if you want to survive
You need to learn how to be alive
Every choice that you make is a gift
Every choice that you make is a gift
