Just Around the Bend
03:39

|
VERSE 1:
I feel something coming
Something amazing
Something unbelievable
Just around the bend
It's been counting on me
For my path to bring me
It's out there waiting for me
Just around the bend
PRE-CHORUS
And all the tears I cried
Just 'cause I wanna be
I'm so impatient
And all the nights
I dreamt and woke
I wanna be
I'm so impatient
CHORUS:
Hear it calling my name
Just around the bend
Just around the bend
Just around the bend
Wanna see it's real
But it's still 'round the bend
Just around the bend
My evolution, revolution
VERSE 2:
Can you feel the pressure?
The world is waiting
What will you make of
What's around the bend?
What I thought were
My greatest fantasies were
Actually premonitions
Of what's around the bend
PRE-CHORUS
So fight those thoughts
That tell you you're not gonna be
What you've dreamed of
And fight the urge to give up
'Cause you're gonna be
You, the first of.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Don't let it be
Fear that keeps you from your dream
Don't let it be
Angst that makes you lose your steam
This world is filled with
Warfare of all kinds
Sometimes it's hard to
Get outside the lines
CHORUS

Not For Sale
03:05
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
Spinning wheels
No traction 'neath my feet
Hearing your words
Jaded like I can't believe
Here we go again
Can't help feeling like deceit
Is your style
But the truth will set me free
Yeah, the truth will set me free
CHORUS:
My intentions, my motivations
Are not for sale
I'm not for sale
My innovations and my creations
Are not for sale
I'm not for sale, no
VERSE 2:
Welcome to a world
Where we only say what's true
Not lies twisted
To your design that's not my cue
Here we go again
Why can't we try something new?
Unequivocally
I'm telling you that we are through
CHORUS
INTERLUDE
CHORUS
ALT CHORUS:
All my ambitions come to fruition
I'm not for sale
I'm not for sale, oh no
Done with illusions
It's my conclusion
I'm not for sale
I'm not for sale

Ready, Set...
04:11
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
There's a time, there's a place
For everything
There's a call, there's a mark
Coming for me
Feel it coming, feel it brewing
Every day, every song
I wonder when
Every note, every word
It's arriving
Feel it coming, feel it brewing
CHORUS:
Clock is ticking
Keeps on teasing
Stay on your toes
Ready, set...
I've been waiting
Anticipating
Tortured here
Ready, set...
VERSE 2:
Feel the walls closing in
Running out of time
Hurry up, write a brilliant line
Sick of waiting, stupid timing
Leave the doubt at the door
There's no room here
Gotta push to the floor
And have no fear
'Cause it's coming, yeah, it's brewing
CHORUS
GUITAR SOLO

The Scene
03:14
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
City lights, big dreams
Hipster beanies, gilded scene
Pulling out your PRS
pretty like a party dress
it has the name on it
shine to it, flair to it
Keeping up appearances
makes you cooler when you play it
VERSE 2:
verse two, here we go
what's the lyrics?
I don't know
guess I'll just repeat the first
till I write the second verse
you've got the name on it
shine to it, flair to it
keep up those appearances
makes you cool when you play it
PRE-CHORUS:
Shark in the water, cruising for a kill
Say a prayer he'll let you go but
This one never will
CHORUS:
Knock me down the ladder
Tell me all of your lies
Pull the rug out from under and
cut me down to size
You don't know this kind of hunger
I'm just starving inside
I'm kinda over it
I'm over this game
You keep breaking me down
Just to lie me up again
VERSE 3:
Here comes a suit
with all the answers, all your treasures
Hand over all your money
he'll answer all your prayers
He'll shake your hand with the right
don't watch the left
Fingers crossed behind
it's junk, lies, theft
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
GUITAR SOLO

Truth
03:22
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
No more words, give me a break
No more lies, I just can't it
No more tears, I'm broken inside
No more anger, no asking why
PRE-CHORUS:
Eyes wide open (it's how I wanna live)
it's just so broken (what leaves your lips)
CHORUS:
Truth is truth, nothing to fight
Open heart, knowing what's right
Without honesty it's a travesty
Painful or not
Give it all to me, all the gravity
'cause I know truth is truth
VERSE 2:
No more pain, I'll leave it behind
Pack my bags and find more of my kind
Love will win the fight that's ensued
Pushing forward, seeing me through
PRE-CHORUS:
Eyes wide open (it's how I'm gonna live)
Moments stolen (we'll get 'em back, we will)
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
No more fighting, no more burning
No more breaking down inside
No more crying, no more fearing
Only selfless sacrifice
And when it's over and it all settles
We will know that we've done right
ALT CHORUS:
'Cause truth is truth, nothing to fight
Open heart, tell me it's mine
Without honesty it's a travesty
Painful or not
Give it all to me, all the gravity
'cause I know truth is truth
No more fighting
No more crying

Pieces
03:57
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
I guess the conversation's over
and there's nothing left to say
you crossed the street, I stayed
and the distance just keeps growing
seems I'll never live down my mistakes
CHORUS:
Keep holding it there, there above my head
the weight of all you've said to me
but it'll bring you down and spiral to the ground
I'll use it to break you into pieces.
VERSE 2:
Somehow you shut down all the chatter
but you were the only one to speak
I scream a silent cry
just begging, pleading why
it must be nice to be the king
CHORUS:
Dare hold it there, there above my head
the weight of all you've said to me
but it'll bring you down and spiral to the ground
I'll use it to break you into pieces.
BRIDGE:
This is war, this is war
don't even know why
Can you feel, can you feel
the ticking bomb inside
I'll count to 10, won't say again
Your last chance to take flight
I'll rip you, tear you into pieces
CHORUS

Truly Untitled
03:03
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
You're so melancholy
You're just bringing us all down
Like you're messing with me
pulling, tugging underground
Can't let me go
All I want's release
Wait to exhale
Give me some relief
CHORUS:
Sick of all your expectations
Be this, and that, and everything
Don't wanna fight or give in either
Just wait 'cause here we go again
VERSE 2:
Your face is overwhelming
Can't seem to do anything right
Sorry I'm not what you want
I gotta live a conscious life
Curse this river, rapids drowing me
This just isn't how you said it'd be
CHORUS

Heavy
04:13
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
Her buried madness
is hidden underground
Her deep, dark sadness
is churning without a sound
It's time to find your way through
this forest of dark
It's time to push your way to
the light that seems so far
CHORUS:
Don't keep running away, turn around to face it
All those who led you astray, there's no way to race it
it won't help, running away, monsters will linger
Gotta crush 'em, smash 'em dead
to nothing but a whimper
VERSE 2:
Those demons inside your head
are telling you all lies
You've always done your best
Don't let 'em sway you otherwise
Patches of sunlight break through
Feel the hope surge
Self-doubt is finally worked through
No need to be unsure
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Here we are, here to stand for you
Here we are to bring you to the truth
CHORUS

Equations
03:54
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
I never wanna be
like they seem on TV
They all just make us over
into these shallow shells
Stumbling within the lines
they have all drawn for me
So little life feeding the notes
regurgitate and write by rote
We leave behind human creation
Now just ones and zeros
Now just equations
CHORUS:
Mindless, endless, wasted days
and here we stand with so much to say
Empty words nothing inside
I fight alone, I try, I try to fight
the generation of illusion
VERSE 2:
I never wanna be
these fools that I see
they're painting by the numbers
it's all they know to do
please just set me free
from the rules they make for me
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
So little life feeding the notes
Regurgitate and write by rote
CHORUS

The Call
03:31
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
I watched her stir her teabags 'round
and 'round again
The flavor left them long ago
she feels the same
Breathe again
come back to life, my friend
CHORUS:
Fear is not a choice
Speak out with your voice
The inhibitions fall
answering the call
the call of what you're meant to do
the call of fate has come for you
VERSE 2:
A story old as time I know
you've heard before
A trusted dear has turned their back
and shut the door
Trust again
learn to love all over again
CHORUS
