PRICE TO PLAY
Failed to see,
How destructive we can be.
Taking without giving back,
'Til the damage can be seen,
Can you see?
Can you see?
The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price tou pay to play the game.
Apathy, the chosen way to be,
Blindly look the other way,
While you waste away with me,
Can you see?
Can you see?
The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you py to play the game.
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game.
The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you pay to play the game.
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game.

HOW ABOUT YOU
If someone else showed you the way
Would you take the wheel and steer?
It hurts me that you're not ashamed
Of what you're doing here
If they jumped off a bridge
Would you meet them on the ground?
Or would you try and claim
That it never made a sound
Everyone plays the hand they're dealt
And learns to walk through life themselves
Not everything in life is handed on a plate
When people think your words are true
It doesn't matter what you do
I sold my soul to get here
How About You?
So you choose to force your hand
What a strange way to make friends
And you always change the rules
So the drama never ends
And you blindly go through life
Judging only by what its worth
Just try not to forget
That the meek inherit earth
Everyone plays the hand they're dealt
And learns to walk through life themselves
Not everything in life is handed on a plate
When people think your words are true
It doesn't matter what you do
I sold my soul to get here
How About You?
So please don't take offense
This is just a point of view
Cause I'm the only one who
Will say these things to you
Everyone plays the hand they're dealt
And learns to walk through life themselves
Not everything in life is handed on a plate
When people think your words are true
It doesn't matter what you do
I sold my soul to get here
How About You?

SO FAR AWAY
This is my life
Its not what it was before
All these feelings I’ve shared
And these are my dreams
That I’d never lived before
Somebody shake me
Cause I
I must be sleeping
Now that we're here
So Far Away
All the struggle
We thought was in vain
All in the mistakes
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here, So Far Away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
I’m not ashamed
To be the person that I am today
These are my words
That I’ve never said before
I think I’m doing okay
And this is the smile
That I’ve never shown before
Somebody shake me
Cause I
I must be sleeping
Now that we're here
So Far Away
All the struggle
We thought was in vain
All in the mistakes
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here, So Far Away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
I’m not ashamed
To be the person that I am today
I’m so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Now that we're here
So Far Away
All the struggle
We thought was in vain
All in the mistakes
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here, So Far Away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
I’m not ashamed
To be the person that I am today

YESTERDAY
You don't know what you've put me through
It’s okay, I’ve forgiven you
But in some way
Hope it fucks with you
Hope it fucks with you
That I’m okay and I’ve made it through
But who's to say what you gonna do
I’ll say no names, though I’ve wanted to
Isn't it strange how it seems like...
Yesterday
A boy and already afraid
Locked deep inside
My place to hide
To hide from how you made me feel
And I wonder
How's your brother
Did he end up fucked up like me?
Lost in himself
Crying for help
It's safe to say
I learned to live without pride
Just a shell, with me stuck on the inside
A prison, not a place to hide
Not a place to hide
That I’m okay and I’ve made it through
But who's to say what you gonna do
I’ll say no names, though I’ve wanted to
Isn't it strange how it seems like...
Yesterday
A boy and already afraid
Locked deep inside
My place to hide
To hide from how you made me feel
And I wonder
How's your brother
Did he end up fucked up like me?
Lost in himself
Crying for help
It's safe to say
Yesterday
A boy and already afraid
Locked deep inside
My place to hide
To hide from how you made me feel
And I wonder
How's your brother
Did he finally pull through like me?
Finding himself
Not needing help
I'd like to say

FRAY
I know that it never goes away
All I feel, everything I’m not today
So I try and I try to make everything right
I don't feel like I’m doing it, it affects me
You wouldn't listen even if I told you
Who the fuck am I to say?
You're too busy with the lies they sold you
Another cure to fix your day
Open wide for all the shit they feed you
While the TV defecates
And blindly walk wherever they will lead you
While the edges slowly Fray
I know that everything can change
What I need is to open up again
So never again will I look back in vain
Cause today's not the past
I don't need to relive it
You wouldn't listen even if I told you
Who the fuck am I to say?
You're too busy with the lies they sold you
Another cure to fix your day
Open wide for all the shit they feed you
While the TV defecates
And blindly walk wherever they will lead you
While the edges slowly Fray
Are you satisfied?
I’ve given all I can
And are you pacified
Or do you want more from me?
You wouldn't listen even if I told you
Who the fuck am I to say?
You're too busy with the lies they sold you
Another cure to fix your day
Open wide for all the shit they feed you
While the TV defecates
And blindly walk wherever they will lead you
While the edges slowly Fray
I’ve learned that this life's not just a game
Just a line between the pleasures and the pain
You wouldn't listen even if I told you
Who the fuck am I to say?
You're too busy with the lies they sold you
Another cure to fix your day
Open wide for all the shit they feed you
While the TV defecates
And blindly walk wherever they will lead you
While the edges slowly Fray

ZOE JANE
Well, I want you to notice
To notice when I’m not around
And I know that your eyes see straight through me
And speak to me without a sound
I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things
I've already endured
And I want to show you
Show you all the things
That this life has in store for you
I’ll always love you
The way that a father
Should love his daughter
When I walked out this morning
I cried as I walked to the door
I cried about how long I’d be away for
I cried about leaving you all alone
I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things
I've already endured
And I want to show you
Show you all the things
That this life has in store for you
I’ll always love you
The way that a father
Should love his daughter
Sweet Zoe Jane
Sweet Zoe Jane
So I wanted to say this
Cause I wouldn't know where to begin
To explain to you what I've been through
To explain where your daddy has been
So I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things
I've already endured
And I want to show you
Show you all the things
That this life has in store for you
I’ll always love you
The way that a father
Should love his daughter
Sweet Zoe Jane

FILL ME UP
I just had to let you know
Cause I don't always let it show
You give me needed room to grow
And I just had to tell you so
You Fill Me Up
You're in my veins
A look could take my breath away
And all these things you give away
Sometimes I take for granted
It's just like poetry inside
To hear you breathing by my side
Like I’m in Heaven and I’ve died
So glad you're with me for this ride
You Fill Me Up
You're in my veins
A look could take my breath away
And all these things you give away
Sometimes I take for granted
I see your face to start my day
Makes my all bad dreams go away
And all the stupid games we play
Wouldn't have it any other way
You Fill Me Up
You're in my veins
A look could take my breath away
And all these things you give away
Sometimes I take for granted
You Fill Me Up
You're in my veins
A look could take my breath away
And all these things you give away
Sometimes I take for granted

LAYNE
I heard today that you were gone
I had to stop and sing along
The song they played to say goodbye
A song they gave
Give me back life
You'll never fade
The words you gave
My life you saved
Your name was Layne
And on that day a child was born
To someone who you helped along
And helped see through his darkest times
Because of you, this child, she is mine
You'll never fade
The words you gave
My life you saved
Your name was Layne
The words you said
You made me feel like they were all for me
The words you said
They will always be a part of me
The words you said
You made me feel like I was not alone
The words you said
You gave me all the strength to carry on
So to me you'll never fade
Your life you gave
My life you saved
Your name was Layne

FALLING DOWN
What’s happened to you?
It's obvious you've changed
Something deep inside you
Is probably to blame
Must be lonely up there
With your head up in the clouds
Even though you got there
What does your conscience tell you now?
It's never the same on the way down
How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground?
When all of your bridges aren't around
And the sandcastles you built are Falling Down
You had us all
Sitting right there in your hand
But you had to fall
Because that's how this life is
Got your fingers burned
By burning candles at both ends
Now the table's turned
And now your demons are you friends
It's never the same on the way down
How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground?
When all of your bridges aren't around
And the sandcastles you built are Falling Down
So now I question what you're gonna do
Now that everything's caught up with you
You believe the shit you say is true
But everybody's on to you
Life remembers everything you do
Your karma has caught up with you
It's never the same on the way down
How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground?
When all of your bridges aren't around
And the sandcastles you built are Falling Down

REALITY
The lights are on but you're not home
You've drifted off somewhere alone
Somewhere that's safe
No questions here
A quiet place
Where you hide from your fears
Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up's unclear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever "they" happen to be
Or are you hiding from the scars of your own Reality?
So you sedate and drown in vain
You've got a pill for every day
A suit and tie to mask the truth
Its ugly head is starting to show through
Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up's unclear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever "they" happen to be
Or are you hiding from the scars of your own Reality?
The monster you're feeding
Your lack of perception
The things you will do
To fulfill addictions
The light at the end of your tunnel is closing
What is it that you're so afraid of exposing?
You'd give it all up for what's there for the taking
Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking
The same things you're thinking might make you feel better
The same things that probably got you here
Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up's unclear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever "they" happen to be
Or are you hiding from the scars of your own Reality?
The monster you're feeding
Your lack of perception
The things you will do
To fulfill addictions
The light at the end of your tunnel is closing
What is it that you're so afraid of exposing?
You'd give it all up for what's there for the taking
Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking
The same things you're thinking might make you feel better
The same things that probably got you here

TONIGHT
Just try to understand
This isn't what I planned
This ride's out of my hands
So now I’m forced to be
Something I can not be
If only I could make you see
Tonight I’m alive
I’ve watched you all grow up and so have I
Inside this isn't really what I had in mind
I no longer relate
To this world of hate
That's forced upon my plate
I tend to disagree
I hope its not just me
Alone if only I could make you see
Tonight I’m alive
I’ve watched you all grow up and so have I
Inside this isn't really what I had in mind
Tonight I’m alive
I’ve watched you all grow up and so have I
Inside this isn't really what I had in mind
Tonight I’m alive
I’ve watched you all grow up and so have I
Inside this isn't really what I had in mind

COULD IT BE
Well I don't know what to say
Because there's truth to what you say
I know it kills you I’m this way
There's something different every day
Could It Be that
I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could It Be that
My habit is to find a place to hide
Could It Be that
Sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could It Be that
I’m only being me?
Not easy living in my mind
A little peace is hard to find
My every thought is undermined
By all the history inside
Could It Be that
I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could It Be that
My habit is to find a place to hide
Could It Be that
Sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could It Be that
I’m only being me?
I know I hear the words you said
Over and over again
I just can't get them through my head
There's just too many voices
Must be like living with the dead
Waiting for me to begin
To do the things I have said
And for this I’m sorry
So there's some truth to what you say
Could It Be that
I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could It Be that
My habit is to find a place to hide
Could It Be that
Sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could It Be that
I’m only being me?

BLOW AWAY
Live in my head for just one day
I see myself and look away
The road is showing now on my face
Soon I’ll disappear
Disappear without a fucking trace
Faces that I’ve seen turn old and grey
I’ve lost too many friends along the way
Memories I never thought would fade
They fade and Blow Away
I wish that I could disappear
Unzip my skin and leave it here
So I could be no one again
And never let nobody
I’d let nobody
I’d never let nobody in
Faces that I’ve seen turn old and grey
I’ve lost too many friends along the way
Memories I never thought would fade
They fade and Blow Away
So now the walls are closing in
Because in life you sink or swim
Sometimes these shoes don't feel right in my head
Feel like a book that can't be
A book that can't be
A book that can't be read
Faces that I’ve seen turn old and grey
I’ve lost too many friends along the way
Memories I never thought would fade
They fade and Blow Away

INTRO
Thank you to the people in my life
For putting up with me
And thank you for the times you sacrificed
All on account of me
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
Fuck you to the jaded and the fake
Like to see what you would do
Fuck you and the judgments that you make
We're not all perfect just like you
Like you, like you
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
All the times I didn't say
All the times I didn’t say
Thank you to the people in my life
For putting up with me
