Don't hide your face
What you were before
Doesn't have to be
You anymore
Maybe you've been scared
And that's what you know
And all the shame
Gonna call you home
It's gonna call you home
It never was your fault
But still a part to play
You carry it so close
You can read its name
In a lot of ways
You're still that lost kid
Yeah, you can still survive
But not exactly live
No, not exactly live
Gonna stand this ground
Gonna say it loud
Never define yourself
By choices others make
If no one said it yet
It would be a shame
That ends right now
You're not alone in pain
Never alone in pain
Never alone in pain
Never alone in pain
Never alone in pain

Criminal Energy
The ghost of recent misery
Still has a song to sing
You captivated hearts
Waiting for a spark
No one you care to recognize
Suddenly in control
Unfortunate to find
What it is inside
Criminal energy
If you got blood to bleed
Your fever with the fight
Your each and every night
Oh, yeah, you'll come to see
We're the same, we're the same, yeah, it's understood
We're gonna take, gonna take while the getting's good
Come get it all for free
Criminal energy, criminal energy
Huh
Answer any conspiracy
So irresistible
But there's no them to see
Only you and me
No face, no cause for empathy
They tell you all the time
The threat is still alive
Yeah, that's still a lie
Criminal energy
If you got blood to bleed
Your fever with the fight
Your each and every night
Oh, yeah, you'll come to see
That we're the same, we're the same, yeah, it's understood
We're gonna take, gonna take while the getting's good
Come get it all for free
Criminal energy
Criminal energy
Oh!
Criminal energy
If you got blood to bleed
Your fever with the fight
Your each and every night
Oh, yeah, you'll come to see
That we're the same, we're the same, yeah, it's understood
We're gonna take, gonna take while the getting's good

Delivery
Well, I know I'm dreaming
But it feels too good to stop
The picture in my head is always moving
We're alone at sunset
There's snowfall in air
It's only special once 'cause there's an ending
And we realize we're in a future memory
I can only use what I learn from you
And the rest I quietly accept and burn through
I can only be so much potentially
From the rest, I patiently request delivery
Don't worry where we end up
This ending up's not real
The life we build we never stop creating
So we move to a cliffside
A shoreline nowhere
A freezing drive ahead with every crossing
And the things you hope someday will come keep waiting
I can only use what I learn from you
And the rest I quietly accept and burn through
I can only be so much potentially
From the rest, I patiently request delivery
Sold on a lie
A lie old as time
You'll search until you die
Only partially the truth
Someone's out there for you
But not everyone's ready to be found
No, you might not be ready to be found
I can only use what I learned from you
And the rest I quietly accept and burn through
I can only be so much potentially
From the rest, I patiently request delivery
I can only use what I learn from you
And the rest I quietly accept and burn through
I can only be so much potentially
From the rest, I patiently request delivery
But it feels too good to stop
The picture in my head is always moving
We're alone at sunset
There's snowfall in air
It's only special once 'cause there's an ending
And we realize we're in a future memory
I can only use what I learn from you
And the rest I quietly accept and burn through
I can only be so much potentially
From the rest, I patiently request delivery
Don't worry where we end up
This ending up's not real
The life we build we never stop creating
So we move to a cliffside
A shoreline nowhere
A freezing drive ahead with every crossing
And the things you hope someday will come keep waiting
I can only use what I learn from you
And the rest I quietly accept and burn through
I can only be so much potentially
From the rest, I patiently request delivery
Sold on a lie

555
I keep my focus on the simple things
Trying to find some peace along the way
Wish I knew how long I'm supposed to wait
Holding on but just barely
Got the feeling I've been talking to a dead, dead line
There's always a reason to let it change
Is there anyone there listening while you cry, cry, cry?
There's always a reason for the pain
I'm doing the things that I'm told every day, every day, every day
Then why does it feel like I'm moving in place, in place, in place?
Never had anything to prove
But never was anyone like you
All you fought through, all you had to face
Made you stronger, unafraid
Got the feeling I've been talking to a dead, dead line
There's always a reason to let it change
Is there anyone there listening while you cry, cry, cry?
Always a reason for the pain
I'm doing the things that I'm told every day, every day, every day
Then why does it feel like I'm moving in place, in place, in place?
I gotta believe that you're there when I sing, when I sing, when I sing
'Cause if you're not real, I'm losing my head, in my head, in my head
Got the feeling I've been talking to a dead, dead line
There's always a reason to let it change
Is there anyone there listening while you cry, cry, cry?
Always a reason for the pain
I'm doing the things I've been told every day, every day, every day
Then why does it feel like I'm moving in place, in place, in place?
I gotta believe that you're there when I sing, when I sing, when I sing
'Cause if you're not real, I'm losing my head, in my head, in my head
I keep my focus on the simple things
Trying to find some peace along the way
Trying to find some peace along the way
Wish I knew how long I'm supposed to wait
Holding on but just barely
Got the feeling I've been talking to a dead, dead line
There's always a reason to let it change
Is there anyone there listening while you cry, cry, cry?
There's always a reason for the pain
I'm doing the things that I'm told every day, every day, every day
Then why does it feel like I'm moving in place, in place, in place?

One Mil
Camera girl, you still there?
If I look, you'll disappear
Worse, you might wanna talk
I'm so underprepared
I don't know, is it real?
I can't ignore the way it feels
Like the stomach punch it is
I try but I can waste one million chances
Before you're gone, before I get your name
Keep dreamin' 'cause I'm the only one awake here
You're always gone, always slip away
Can't explain why it sticks
Why I seem to get stuck in
Unsustainable amounts of time reliving this
I wish I had mastery of wit, luck, fearless confidence
And shred majestically to your heart
I try but I can waste one million chances
Before you're gone, before I get your name
Keep dreamin' 'cause I'm the only one awake here
You're always gone, always slip away
I try but I can waste one million chances
Before you're gone, before I get your name
Keep dreamin' 'cause I'm the only one awake here
You're always gone, always slip away
I try but I can waste one million chances
Before you're gone, before I get your name
Keep dreamin' 'cause I'm the only one awake here
You're always gone, always slip away
If I look, you'll disappear
Worse, you might wanna talk
I'm so underprepared
I don't know, is it real?
I can't ignore the way it feels
Like the stomach punch it is
I try but I can waste one million chances
Before you're gone, before I get your name
Keep dreamin' 'cause I'm the only one awake here

Why I seem to get stuck in
Unsustainable amounts of time reliving this
I wish I had mastery of wit, luck, fearless confidence

All the Way (Stay)
Going out we hope to lose ourselves
Then get found in unlikely places
A little presumption's all you need
To end up empty
Who really says they hope they meet the one
For the first time at a bar drinking early
Easy enough to say "Hey man, I'm done"
And never hear them say
Oh honey if you stay, hey hey
We go all the way
But how am I supposed to know, oh no
When to let the feelings show
Honey if you stay, hey hey
We take it all the way
And no one really knows, oh no
When to let the feelings show, oh ho oh ho
Oh oh oh oh
We get discouraged by the pointlessness
And we're pretty quick to judge things pointless
There's what I want and what I need
And the latter takes a while to see
It doesn't matter how often, how old
It starts with an awkward beginning
I believe that what I've learned has worth
And what I choose to do means something
So honey if you stay, hey hey
We go all the way
And how am I supposed to know, oh no
When to let the feelings show
Honey if you stay, hey hey
We take it all the way
'Cause no one really knows, oh no
When to let the feelings show, oh ho oh ho
Crowds and the noise receding
Down to just you and me, yeah
We could do anything you want
So honey if you stay, hey hey
We go all the way
But how am I supposed to know, oh no
When to let the feelings show
Honey if you stay, hey hey
We take it all the way
Whoever really knows, oh no
When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh oh
When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh
When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh
When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh
When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh
When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh
When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh
Then get found in unlikely places

Diamond
When I find myself awake
I'll put my thoughts down on the page
Half-asleep, I'll make a list
Then read back all my greatest hits
Should meditate, should work out more
Should read until my brain gets sore
Meet someone, go far away
Try being socially less strange
That's how a diamond grows, yeah
Give yourself the right chance over time
Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker, yeah
I cut at least half of my friends
But no one noticed or mentioned
I thought at last I'd breathe easy
But then I thought a lot of things
Hey, new year, hey, new you
You left so much low-hanging fruit
You're in the ring for the title fight
With only montage training time
That's how a diamond grows, yeah
Give yourself the right chance over time
Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker, yeah
That's how a diamond grows, yeah
Reach as far as you can, then hold tight
Don't believe them if they try to tell you something different, yeah
They say a diamond grows with time
I believe it 'cause I've seen it with my eyes
Well, there's a guaranteed parade of broken promises
Did you expect some kind of miracle?
You do what you can do, that's all, all, all
That's how a diamond grows, yeah
Give yourself the right chance over time
Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker, yeah
That's how a diamond grows with time
Don't believe them if they try to tell you something different
I'll put my thoughts down on the page
Half-asleep, I'll make a list
Then read back all my greatest hits

Love Never
Love ain't never been your friend
Love never gonna hear what you're demanding
Love ain't some magical thing
Love never gonna be the way you're dreaming
It's gonna seem so far
It's gonna feel so hard
Until you want the work more than the reward
Do you want the work more than the reward?
Love ain't some magical thing
Love never gonna be the way you're dreaming
It's gonna seem so far
It's gonna feel so hard
Until you want the work more than the reward
Until you stop asking "Oh, what is it all for?"
Do you want the work more than the reward?
It's gonna seem so far
It's gonna feel so hard
Until you want the work more than the reward
Until you stop asking "Oh, what is it all for?"
Do you want the work more than the reward?
Love never gonna hear what you're demanding
Love ain't some magical thing
Love never gonna be the way you're dreaming
It's gonna seem so far
It's gonna feel so hard
Until you want the work more than the reward
Do you want the work more than the reward?
Love ain't some magical thing
Love never gonna be the way you're dreaming

It's gonna feel so hard

Recommit
Will they tell you what you missed?
All you have traded in
And it hits
You're not that different
The truth is no one did
Half of it
Think all this time what you're giving
Stay in my heart or waste another life
Start another life
From a fever to a kiss
Such frivolousness
They exist
It's all significant
No one straight line to live
Recommit
Think all this time what you're giving
Stay in my heart or waste another life
Start another life
Think all this time what you're giving
Stay in my heart or waste another life
Start another life
Always commanding
A way out
Is coming
Think all this time what you're giving
Stay in my heart or waste another life
Start another life
Think all this time what you're giving
Stay in my heart or waste another life
Start another life
Or waste another life
Start another life
All you have traded in
And it hits
You're not that different
The truth is no one did
Half of it
Think all this time what you're giving
Stay in my heart or waste another life
Start another life
From a fever to a kiss
Such frivolousness

It's all significant
No one straight line to live

Congratulations
There's no clarity in front of me
Only degrees of hating
Obscenity, there's no charity
Some don't deserve to make it
You'll blame and fight each other
For just a slice of plunder
Too down and tired to wonder
Whose foot you're crawling under
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Ah-ah, oh-oh-oh (Ah-ah, oh-oh-oh)
You're on your own
You're on your own
Read carefully, can't possibly
A threat to future earnings
Suspiciously, through editing
The facts are disappearing
With discipline and message
You'll take awkward possession
Of nothing you really wanted
Welcome, congratulations
Oh-oh, you're on
You're on your own
There's no clarity in front me
Only degrees of hating
Obscenity, there's no charity
Some don't deserve to make it
You'll blame and fight each other
For just a slice of plunder
Too down and tired to wonder
Whose foot you're crawling under
Oh-oh-oh-oh
