Some Time 04:22
I've been wondering what I've been chasing down I've been trying to push this around the way I go out of my mind I just want to find a world I can call my own I just need a place to rest this weary head I'm just talking to myself all night long I've been trying to chase away a night that never ever comes I just want to find a place where all the pieces fit I just need some time to see what I can do I'll keep running until I die, There never is a reason to ever ask why All this living takes up time, All this waiting should be a crime I just need some time I just need some time I'll keep running until I die, There never is a reason to ever ask why All this living takes up time, All this waiting should be a crime I just want to find a place where all the pieces fit I just need some time to see what I can do I just need some time

I know I found you out, I knew I would I wish I left it alone I withstood your avalanche and your blowing winds It's not a case of circumstance, I will always win I know I found you out, I knew I would I wish I left it alone I won't stoke your hatred here, I won't relive the pain I won't kill your love of fear, I won't bring the rain I know I found you out, I knew I would I wish I left it alone I become the harbinger of an early doom I am just the messenger in an empty room I know I found you out, I knew I would I wish I left it alone I wish I knew the mystery, I think I know what I need I know I found you out, I knew I would I wish I left it alone
3.
I woke up in the usual way, opened my eyes and started my day I made my coffee and got to work, There's not much else to say Nothing seemed out of place, there's not secret on my face It's just a run of the mill normal, average day It's simply another day, No fascination holding sway I don't have much to say, because nothing important happened today I may as well go to sleep, I have no interest left to keep It seems pointless to stay awake, Maybe I'll just get away It's simply another day, No fascination holding sway I don't have much to say, because nothing important happened today It's simply another day, No fascination holding sway I don't have much to say, because nothing important happened today
4.
All you sons of serpents, all you daughters of jackals And all you children of the fire, may you burn You'll never get an answer, to your questions held You're not what I'm after, you will never learn I won't be abused, and I won't be accused And I won't take your word for truth You won't hold me here, I don't share your fear There is no way to be more clear I have a life of my own All the misbehavers and all the disbelievers And all the cynic's smiles won't hold me back I will see the end of this, I will see it through I will reach the goal no matter what you do I won't be abused, and I won't be accused And I won't take your word for truth You won't hold me here, I don't share your fear There is no way to be more clear I have a life of my own I won't be abused, and I won't be accused And I won't take your word for truth You won't hold me here, I don't share your fear There is no way to be more clear I have a life of my own
5.
It's not a fight, I just need a chance to breathe in the night I'm out of fire, I'm living every second with a soul so tired Falling out of slumber incomplete Tracing lines of scars I cannot trust Trying hard to make these broken pieces fit I'm still alive, building walls I never meant to thrive The chains come apart, pins and needles electrify my heart Chaos interrupts my madness in peace I pretend there is meaning in my eyes Trying hard to make these broken wheels spin It's not a choice I can make It's not a wish I can make come true There is no mystery, there's nothing here that counts as history There's no revealing, there's no way to tell what I'm concealing It's not a choice I can make It's not a wish I can make come true
6.
Please just give me a sign, please while we're young Please while we're young Is there a reason for time, have we grown numb Have we grown numb I chase my tail, I pick my battles, I take my time for granted I can't answer your questions, it's all I know It's all I know Is this story forbidden, do I become, lost in the sun I chase my tail, I pick my battles, I take my time for granted What should I keep, is there cause to weep, am I lost in sleep I chase my tail, I pick my battles, I take my time for granted Please just give me a sign, please while I'm young Please while I'm young

Daydreams 03:40
I've been dying to hold my life inside I've been trying to make some sense of this life I want to try to get it right, It's in my soul tonight In all good fun I pick a fight, All these words mean nothing I've been wasting time in my daydreams I've been making clear my intentions to this world I want to try to get it right, It's in my soul tonight In all good fun I pick a fight, All these words mean nothing All these words can't explain, the meaning I hold in my name When this world makes me want to scream I lose myself in daydreams I lose myself in daydreams I want to try to get it right, It's in my soul tonight In all good fun I pick a fight, All these words mean nothing
8.
I'll trade my gold for fire, feeling sick of being uninspired I relive the days gone by, I never ask myself why Come to me, comfort me, what is the key to lose myself All the written words bleed from the page I'll trace my soul with wire, feeling sick of being tired I reveal the thoughts I try, I never ask myself why Come to me, comfort me, what is the key to lose myself All the written words bleed from the page I guess I know why it bleeds away, there are no more words to say I guess I thought I was true, there are no more lies to see me through Come to me, comfort me, what is the key to lose myself All the written words bleed from the page I'll trade my gold for fire, feeling sick of being uninspired I relive the days gone by, I never ask myself why
9.
I don't want to hear you calling out These are days I'd like to do without I guess it's time to end the drought Scream, scream, scream and shout You don't see what I go through I don't want to do as others do I caught myself up in this trouble I wanna stay buried in my rubble I'm sorry if I have to burst your bubble Whatever you get I want double You don't see what I go through I don't want to do as others do You don't see what I go through I don't want to do as others do I don't want to do as others do
10.
The Hard Way 03:53
I find my trails burnt, I wish I knew where to start All my missteps lead the way I wanna make it last as long as I can I saw this whole world burn, I wish I knew what I had to learn I didn't have to do it the hard way I wanna make it last as long as I can I am the pilot now, the wind is against me What can I do now if I won't let it find me I wanna make it last as long as I can I saw this whole world burn
11.
I don't know why I feel this way, I can't tell if it's me Or just a wind of change I can't tell you why, I can't tell you why I've never felt this way Everything must change, everything must change or else it will die I can't tell you why I still change All the words I never tried to say, I can't tell if it's me Or just the plans I made I can't tell you why, I can't tell you why I've never felt this way Everything must change, everything must change or else it will die I can't tell you why I still change There's no way to stop the change, There's no reason for this pain I'm laughing at the pain I can't tell you why, I can't tell you why I can't tell you why I still change
12.
Sunshine
13.
I know, I believe I've been dreaming half asleep I know, I believe I know what it means My world has been asleep I know, I can see I notice everything I know, I can see, I can see the love aimed at me But I am a moving target But I'm gonna take my time before I go I'm gonna make up my mind before I know I'm gonna wind up somewhere I don't know I know, I believe I've been wasting all I need I know, I believe I can hold it in but still I bleed And I know I've never left But I'm gonna take my time before I go I'm gonna make up my mind before I know I'm gonna wind up somewhere I don't know

Snow 03:38
Snow is falling like feathers from the sky Time is calling and I don't wonder why I'm going home, I'm tired or the road Let it snow and cover my world I'll let you know when I wake again Snow is falling, blanketing my soul Life is calling, and I can't let it go I want to know why I have to wake Let it snow and cover my world I'll let you know when I wake again All these days go right by me Winter holds me while I sleep I'll never know until I go Snow is falling, blanketing my world
17.
Hurricane 04:01
I'm dreaming lightly while I die I get the feeling I just may win tonight All the powers in the world will never break my will I am just a hurricane, perfectly still All the rage won't wash away the love that I hold I am just a hurricane that no one will hold here I'm screaming silent as I roam I decide if anywhere is home All the powers in the world will never break my will I am just a hurricane, perfectly still All the rage won't wash away the love that I hold I am just a hurricane that no one will hold here Love is a wound that will not heal Love is a scar that never fades Love is a wound that never heals Love is a scar that never fades away
18.
Release 03:00
I can hear the wonder spoken loud I can live my life with my head in the clouds With all the time I'll spend wide awake We can only take all we can see It never meant the world to me I'll take the time to release I can feel my life erupt in fire If I said I didn't miss it, I'd be a liar With all the time I've spent being blind We can only take all we can see It never meant the world to me I'll take the time to release Take to the mystery like moths to flame The judges of history will find someone to blame I can see the ice through my eyes I can live my life with arms open wide With all the time I'll still be here We can only take all we can see It never meant the world to me I'll take the time to release
19.
Via Negativa 04:41
I am not the actor, it's just the mask I wear Underneath this face, are faces I won't share It could be a million years, before I find out why I forsake my tears, I won't even try I hope you see me for what I am not Before you see me for what I'm supposed to be I am not a mystery, for those who really see I am blind to misery, and all I tried to be I could spend a lifetime, trying to hit that target I reduce my essence to things easy to forget I waste my moments to shine I hope you see me for what I am not Before you see me for what I'm supposed to be Are there any words left to feel Are there any wounds left to heal Or is it just calloused dreams I hope you see me for what I am not Before you see me for what I'm supposed to be
20.
Existence 03:19
I believe the ways I got it wrong Haunt the very best places I was strong What's the point in crying when all we do is laugh I never found good reasons to ever ask All the loose ends have tied themselves down Waiting for my storm that never comes around What's the point in crying when all we do is laugh I never found good reasons to ever ask It harms me, I never leave It charms me, I won't believe it's near All the worried eyes blind themselves to me They only focus on what I'll never be Oh, can't you see how it fades away
21.
It took me long enough to see the solution It's always a trap, never a revolution I can't be bothered anymore When all is said and done, there is no need to run I can live my life unafraid of fun It unwound before my eyes as I turned away A dream is just a dream, at least that's what they say I can't be bothered by the scorn When all is said and done, there is no need to run I can live my life unafraid of fun There's no need to cry, when you find your life It's enough to try, winding up the time We spend too much time with wounds in our hearts I'm not wasting fire on those forever damp I have all I need to leave my stamp I can't be bothered by life When all is said and done, there is no need to run I can live my life unafraid of fun
22.
Spitebile 04:55
Something awakens in your blood, and now you're bracing for the flood The anger has become unbound, as your heart starts to pound You follow, you swallow the bile of your spite, you won't last the night You won't forget this pain, you won't cleanse the stains You won't make it through the night You can't make it turn out right There is no choice for you to give, there is no life for you to live The razors slice your empty eyes, you fade away in feigned surprise You follow, you swallow the bile of your spite, you won't last the night You won't forget this pain, you won't cleanse the stains You won't make it through the night You can't make it turn out right You follow, you swallow the bile of your spite, you won't last the night You won't forget this pain, you won't cleanse the stains You won't make it through the night You can't make it turn out right
23.
I don't miss the trials by fire I became alive when I noticed who I am I don't love the constant apprehension I will be unknown to the world I won't give one more second It's a second chance to remember what we are We don't have to dance one step too far Until our dying days we will stand We recover our senses just in time We betray our sentence reaching for the line Spending afternoons chasing shadows on the wall Resisting waves of happiness waiting for the call I won't give one more second It's a second chance to remember what we are We don't have to dance one step too far Until our dying days we will stand It's a second chance to remember what we are We don't have to dance one step too far Until our dying days we will stand
24.
I know that I don't give enough I know that I won't give it up I'll show what I really know of me I'll show what I am meant to be Will I kiss you or will I count to ten Will I miss you or will I just pretend Will I comfort you, confessing all my sins Will I be here until the bitter end I know what you want to hear I know what could make it clear I'll show all my cards to you I'll show you what I can do Will I kiss you or will I count to ten Will I miss you or will I just pretend Will I comfort you, confessing all my sins Will I be here until the bitter end Will I kiss you or will I count to ten Will I miss you or will I just pretend Will I comfort you, confessing all my sins Will I be here until the bitter end
25.
We could dance around the obvious Why don't we tell it like it is They're counting down to the end of this We could hold a million reasons to stand still Forward is the only mode I know Slowing down the time here never works Don't run away, leave your problems where they live in yesterday You don't need the sorrow, there will be time to live tomorrow It's not hard to change a point of view When it's turned on its head What you thought you knew may not be true Don't run away, leave your problems where they live in yesterday You don't need the sorrow, there will be time to live tomorrow Don't run away, leave your problems where they live in yesterday You don't need the sorrow, there will be time to live tomorrow Don't run away Don't run away
26.
There's not a thing I love that can't be burned away I'm sure that day will surely come, but that day's not today I worry that I'll never reach the sky I'm not one to build it up, to only tear it down If I try to walk on water, I will only drown I try to do what I can I won't burn it down before I walk away I won't curse the circumstance that sends me on my way This life is just a burning house There's no need to curse the wind, it will only pass If I try to push it back, I will never last I believe I tried to let you know this Yesterday is not the way I will think of you A future passes unafraid of what we might do The river rolls unimpeded I won't burn it down before I walk away I won't curse the circumstance that sends me on my way This life is just a burning house I won't burn it down before I walk away I won't curse the circumstance that sends me on my way This life is just a burning house I won't burn it down before I walk away
27.
I've been asking all the wrong questions I will keep those answers to myself I wonder why I'm always pushed out It's been asked and answered too many times to count I won't tell a soul That I can bleed these letters into words I never read I can't let it go There has to be a way to make this world make sense to me again I've been tripping over my own feet Trying to run from my deeds The deep end keeps calling out to me It's asking me to let myself drown I won't tell a soul That I can bleed these letters into words I never read I can't let it go There has to be a way to make this world make sense to me again I couldn't say what I was after I never knew what I might do It's always a disaster When I call out names I cannot prove I won't tell a soul That I can bleed these letters into words I never read I can't let it go There has to be a way to make this world make sense to me again
28.
Push 04:03
I wish I had held my tongue in my defense I never know which way I'll go from here After every night is washed away in the haze I can't find a reason to forgive all my days I wonder if I'll always be this way I wonder how much I'll push away I wish that I just walked away from feeling so unsure It's no surprise that I lose my way when I can't find a better way to cope Stolen glances slip away while I watch it die It's no surprise to me I fail, speaking from my eyes closed After every night is washed away in the haze I can't find a reason to forgive all my days I wonder if I'll always be this way I wonder how much I'll push away Ripped away from feeling grey Only to find another kind of pain After every night is washed away in the haze I can't find a reason to forgive all my days I wonder if I'll always be this way I wonder how much I'll push away
29.
All of this time, All of this time, All of this time I've wasted I could have been done, I could have been done, I could have been done, with sleeping Through all my lives All the way down, All the way down, All the way down I feel it I am the clown, I am the clown, I am the clown you hated All my lives I blinded all my eyes to take a good look at paradise All my lives I am the wolf, I am the wolf, I am the wolf you cried for I am the sheep, I am the sheep, I am the sheep in wolfs clothing All my lives I've been a fool, I've been a fool, I've been a fool for trying I can cut through, I can cut through, I can cut through all the errors All my lives I blinded all my eyes to take a good look at paradise All my lives All my lives have been the same old story Checking lists of words I cannot read There's never time enough for worry There is no advice to heed I've been a fool, I've been a fool, I've been a fool for trying I can cut through, I can cut through, I can cut through all the errors All my lives I blinded all my eyes to take a good look at paradise All my lives
30.
Cure 04:12
I've learned a lot from taking a shot, like every child should I've taken the time to twist every line, like you knew I would I'm saying this now cause I don't care how the message gets through I'm pretty sure I'll find a cure for all those things I do To myself I don't follow any faces, I've been broken in a million places I don't suffer Why make a fuss it's starting to rust, I'm slipping like a fool I didn't care cause I was there, I couldn't play it cool A mouth too loud and a head too proud, who's gotta shake it off I can't laugh cause I'm on a path, pretending that I lost Myself I don't follow any faces, I've been broken in a million places I don't suffer I'm sure that I'll find a cure, I'm sure that I'll come around
