Bleed Out 03:05
Don’t bleed out We come from nothing no there’s nothing to worry about Don’t bleed out We come from nothing no there’s nothing to worry about Don’t bleed out I’ll get you what you need there’s nothing to worry about Don’t bleed out I’ll get you what you need there’s nothing to worry about You can’t come, you can’t come It’s something less than normal You’ve got to reap what you sow Oh, oh no There’s something happening I know that we have to go Oh, oh no There’s something happening I know that we have to go

Let’s go for a walk Let us roll around in fields and watch the planes take off Let’s just sing a song I would watch you breathe in deep as you attempt to sing along I would take back all those empty words in poems I would write all those letters to send you when I’m gone Let’s just have a drink We can laugh and sing and you can tell me what you think of me We can talk about our dreams About the time that you woke up and swore that you were in bed with me And how you cried so hard until you hardly see For a second you felt like you know what happiness could mean What happiness could mean Let’s go for a walk Let us go down by the creek and throw some rocks down by the dock Let’s just stroll along I would take you to your parents house to show them the earrings that I bought Yeah God knows I stole them and he don’t think I’m wrong Yeah God knows I stole them and he don’t think I’m wrong He don’t think I’m wrong

And you know I’ll be waiting for the sunlight To come through these blinds, to come through these blinds I’ll try, to carry on, to carry on and on And you know I’ll be waiting til the time’s right To help me decide, to help me decide if I can still hold on, can still hold on and on Where you been Where you goin with All these days I’ve been throwing “Away with you! Away with him!” The Queen she said, she said she meant it We fall asleep We fear to dream Can’t you just see What you’ve done to me And you know I’ll be waiting for the sunlight To come through these blinds, to come through these blinds I’ll try, to carry on, to carry on and on And you know I’ll be waiting til the time’s right To help me decide, to help me decide if I can still hold on, can still hold on and on Let me, introduce myself Mister mister cracked heart fixer I’ve only been on the job a week but my books booked don’t count on seeing me Damned from the start All pride no heart It’s so damn hard When you’re holding all the cards

The Alibi 03:44
Wait for me, call the cars, grab the bags, get the guns Yeah it’s only a matter of time, in a moment we will be fine Make this left, make it quick quick c-come one he’s bleeding pretty bad Yeah I’ll use my shirt to dress his wound I need an alibi they’ll be asking soon I am gone, so so long Tell my friends that they were wrong about me Gone, so so long tell my friends that they were wrong about me And thank god, we wore gloves and turned off the cameras Little girl, please don’t cry In a moment we will be fine Hide it all, hide it fast At this rate we will not last One more day, till escape I’ll see white beaches or pearly gates I am gone, so so long Tell my friends that they were wrong about me Gone, so so long tell my friends that they were wrong about me See guys like me, we don’t last too long It was all going right before it all went wrong A push on a trigger to let loose a scare and who would have thought that a hero’d be there to spoil our plot to get rich real quick I can’t believe he got the best of Nick Now I’m out on the lamb and Im praying for grace A plane ride to paradise to win this race

When giving up is giving in The battles long the lines are thin My voice is hoarse, the troops are worn of course of course of course The angry bird it circles close the bombs they shake and break and blow a wind it nears a striking tune a humbling sound that will shake the moon We can be anything X4 A day parade creates wake among the bums and defecates upon us all to celebrate for nothing much at all So show me yours I’ll show you mine we’ll fall apart we’ll both unwind we’ll fool the politician and watch him as he falls We can be anything X4 This king is dead, long live the king

March On 03:29
ill admit my lifes been under read from all those things i did to scare you away we run around like kids who lost their heads I'd like to think that's it can we blame the news can you find yourself inside someone else can find yourself no you can't no you can't so march on falling leaves they map our own defeat my past it sings to me things we thought we knew road markers they act as passing cars they tell us who we are things we thought we'd prove can you find yourself inside someone else can find yourself no you can't no you can't so march on

It’s not what I thought it would be I’m finding it hard to believe can you come back me? I’ve taken my ups and downs I’ve ran the race and I’ve fallen down I’m so tired of this damn town And I will stand ANd I will fight On my own Listen love it was never that simple I told them all that you never seemed evil Maybe I’m just blind Maybe we have known this for some time I’ve been, calling you for hours They say you’ve ben holding all the power Maybe I’m just blind Maybe we have known this all along And I will stand ANd I will fight On my own I remember those nights when you whispered to me That you were so much in love and how I made you stop breathing, believe me I’m leaving I’m leaving I will stand and fight I will stand and fight I will stand and fight My way home I remember those nights when you whispered to me That you were so much in love and how I made you stop breathing, believe me I’m leaving I’m leaving And if my morals seem distorted Best believe it cause I planned it And if my views are not supported And this ship sinks I still will man it And if my voice, lacks it’s thrust and it seems that it’s been damages well I swear there’ll be a Phoenix coming rising form the ashes

Philadelphia 04:21
Oh Philadephia, damn near known you all my life And form what the papers say, seems like someone’s bound to die I miss the summer and the heat it likes to bring And the life that you gave me, well I tied it to a string When you’re gone And I’m not We fall Like a house of cards When you’re here There’s nowhere left to start And my memories of you they fade into the dark And if I see an angel perhaps he’s just passing by let him know that I’m okay and that my life turned out alright because I got a lady and my friends have all got clean And this world still hasn’t got, the better part of me When you’re gone And I’m not We fall Like a house of cards When you’re here There’s nowhere left to start And my memories of you they fade into the dark

Put that face away for I know not what I’m doing This is our last chance at redemption This is our shot at number one All those games you’ve played When saying is not proving Are you paying close attention You’re staring at a loaded gun It’s like we’re sifting through sand X 8 Put that face away for I know not what I’m doing This is our last chance at redemption This is our shot at number one All those games you’ve played When saying is not proving Are you paying close attention You’re staring at a loaded gun It’s like we’re sifting through sand Could please take your hands, from around my neck and at least turn me around, choke me out from the back I am a soldier of doubt, fighting a war that love left And now it’s me all alone, a gunshot wound in the leg Star Eyed, striped blue and black my headband under my hat I am a soldier of doubt Fighting a war that love left That love left I’m not in denial I’ve just been denied My life’s a burning candle But there’s no wick inside So sweet I’m bitter yes it’s something I know too well I’ll test God and his waters I’d watch those rivers swell...
