Burning on the inside
It's cool, I'll kill you with a smile
Congratulations
But really "f*ck you" in my mind
I'll take the high road
Pound on the steering wheel and scream
"It should be me"
To all my enemies
You say control yourself
Can't let you see I'm terrified
Thank you for caring by
Lighting a candle Sunday night
The only soul in Hell
Who thinks they got the brightest flame
Is always me
But I can't make them see
Jealousy
Want it bad
Jealousy
I swear if I can't have it, no one can
I can't control this
Psychotic, drowning, chasing time
I'm down for caring
Pretending everything is fine
The only thing I know
I can lie and cheat and steal for pedigree
With no apology
Jealousy
Want it bad
Jealousy
I swear if I can't have it, no one can
Jealousy
Want it bad
Jealousy
I swear if I can't have it, no one can

It Wasn't Meant To Be
Your eyes all crystallized and welling in the dark
Call me a shooting star and hold my bloody heart
You punched right through it
Was nothing to it
Lying next to you
Forgetting every single night
'Cause it's you and me
Like Sid and Nancy
I can barely keep my head up
It wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be
It's only in my dreams
Make my bed, go to sleep
Make my bed, go to sleep
Love me like a bomb and leave me shattered falling in the blue
Everything you tell me keeps me fading into you
Yeah, you always knew it
And you cut right through it
Lying next to you
Pretending every single night
'Cause it's you and me
Like Sid and Nancy
I can barely keep my head up
It wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be
It's only in my dreams
Make my bed, go to sleep
Make my bed, go to sleep
Make my bed, go to sleep
Yeah, you always knew it
You cut right through it
'Cause it's you and me
Like Sid and Nancy
I can barely keep my head up
It wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be
It's only in my dreams
Make my bed, go to sleep
Make my bed, go to sleep
It wasn't meant to be
Call me a shooting star and hold my bloody heart
You punched right through it
Was nothing to it
Lying next to you
Forgetting every single night
'Cause it's you and me
Like Sid and Nancy
I can barely keep my head up
It wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be
It's only in my dreams
Make my bed, go to sleep
Make my bed, go to sleep
Love me like a bomb and leave me shattered falling in the blue
Everything you tell me keeps me fading into you
Yeah, you always knew it
And you cut right through it
Lying next to you
Pretending every single night
'Cause it's you and me
Like Sid and Nancy
I can barely keep my head up
It wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be
It's only in my dreams
Make my bed, go to sleep
Make my bed, go to sleep
Make my bed, go to sleep
Yeah, you always knew it
You cut right through it
'Cause it's you and me
Like Sid and Nancy
I can barely keep my head up
It wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be
It's only in my dreams
Make my bed, go to sleep
Make my bed, go to sleep
It wasn't meant to be

All A Mystery
Hey
What did I do to deserve this pain?
I could wait here all my life
Or just walk away
Down on my knees every night
Waiting for you to decide
Hey
What did I do to deserve this pain?
'Cause it's all a mystery in my head, Lord
I'd give up everything just to feel the fire again
It's all a mystery in my head, Lord
I'd give up anything just to feed the river again
And again
Hey
What can I do
Get back to that place?
Erase the tapes in my mind
Throw them all away
Turn back the tables of time
Let all those memories die
Hey
What do I do
Get back to that place?
'Cause it's all a mystery in my head, Lord
I'd give up everything just to feel the fire again
It's all a mystery in my head, Lord
I'd give up anything just to feed the river again
Again and again and again and again and again and again
What did I do to deserve this pain?
I could wait here all my life
Or just walk away
Down on my knees every night
Waiting for you to decide
Hey
What did I do to deserve this pain?
'Cause it's all a mystery in my head, Lord
I'd give up everything just to feel the fire again
It's all a mystery in my head, Lord
I'd give up anything just to feed the river again
And again
Hey
What can I do
Get back to that place?
Erase the tapes in my mind
Throw them all away
Turn back the tables of time
Let all those memories die
Hey
What do I do
Get back to that place?
'Cause it's all a mystery in my head, Lord
I'd give up everything just to feel the fire again
It's all a mystery in my head, Lord
I'd give up anything just to feed the river again
Again and again and again and again and again and again

Feedback Invisible
Knock, knock, knock, knock
Nobody home
I couldn't reach you on the telephone
I learned my lesson playing tic-tac-toe
I'm in a feedback invisible
Billions of people on their one track mind
Simulation, am I running out of time?
I'm feeling everything
I'm standing still
Is it happening?
Or is it even real?
Get it, get it, get it, go
Feedback invisible
Get it, get it, get it, go
Feedback invisible
Run, run, run, run
No coming down
I sold my soul just to pay for it now
She told me alchemy can turn into gold
And now I'm in feedback invisible
Running circles
A reflection out of time
Catch a string
Just to hang on every night
I'm feeling everything
I'm standing still
Is it happening?
Or is it even real?
Get it, get it, get it, go
Feedback invisible
Get it, get it, get it, go
Feedback invisible
People, people, people, invisible

Attaway
Talking to the dead
Endless sea of marigold
Burning everything I said
Wrap me up and hold my hand
Take me to the shoreline
Seasons never change underneath
And it all comes back to you
If I keep on talking
Take another pill
Attaway, Attaway
Words don't kill nobody
Stars are dying still
Attaway, Attaway
Attaway, Attaway
Attaway
Heard it on the morning news
Woke up and already knew
Burn this city down to the ground
It's all the same to you
If I keep on talking
Take another pill
Attaway, Attaway
Words don't kill nobody
Stars are dying still
Attaway, Attaway
If I keep on talking
Take another pill
Attaway, Attaway
Attaway, Attaway
Attaway
So if I keep on talking
Take another pill
Attaway, Attaway
Attaway, Attaway
Attaway
Attaway
If I keep on talking
Take another pill
Attaway, Attaway
Attaway, Attaway
Attaway
Endless sea of marigold
Burning everything I said
Wrap me up and hold my hand
Take me to the shoreline
Seasons never change underneath
And it all comes back to you
If I keep on talking

Words don't kill nobody
Stars are dying still

Running Through Colors
Was I alone?
Or were you on the phone?
I don't know if I recall
Or maybe in a field
Was that even real?
Feeding all your animals
The dying setting sun
Rolling in the night
Long live the dark hours
I feel it come to life
Rolling in the night
Night
Running through these colors
Forgetting what I knew
Chasing down the memory
The memory of you
A recollection
A faded dream
Your face is lost in a crowd
Just a reflection
Deep blue and green
You're just a memory now
Thinking of the spring
That song you sang to me
A voice I now can't recognize
I'm losing everything
In a hypercolor dream
Fading into black and white
Hey, if I can't have it all
I'd hold you in my arms again
Long live the dark hours
Our kamikaze hearts
Are flying in the night
Night, night
Running through these colors
Forgetting what I knew
Chasing down the memory
The memory of you
A recollection
A faded dream
Your face is lost in a crowd
Just a reflection
Deep blue and green
You're just a memory now
Running through these colors
Forgetting what I knew
Chasing down the memory
The memory of you
A recollection
A faded dream
Your face is lost in a crowd
Just a reflection
Deep blue and green
You're just a memory now
Or were you on the phone?
I don't know if I recall
Or maybe in a field
Was that even real?
Feeding all your animals
The dying setting sun
Rolling in the night
Long live the dark hours
I feel it come to life
Rolling in the night
Night
Running through these colors
Forgetting what I knew
Chasing down the memory
The memory of you
A recollection
A faded dream
Your face is lost in a crowd
Just a reflection
Deep blue and green
You're just a memory now

A voice I now can't recognize

In a hypercolor dream
Fading into black and white

I Wanna Know
Home is a feeling
That you never forget
Dark is a season
But it's not over yet
So I wanna know
How far does it go
Yeah, I wanna know
Full
Technicolor
Moving through me in waves
Spill
Through the shoreline
Like I've been here for days
'Cause I wanna know
What's outta control
Yeah, I wanna know
Two stars colliding
Is this really the end
My new beginning
Will I see you again?
'Cause I wanna know (know what it feels like)
What's outta control (I'm on the outside)
'Cause, I wanna know
Deer in the headlights
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
That you never forget
Dark is a season
But it's not over yet
So I wanna know
How far does it go
Yeah, I wanna know
Full
Technicolor
Moving through me in waves
Spill
Through the shoreline
Like I've been here for days
'Cause I wanna know
What's outta control
Yeah, I wanna know

Ashes
Holding back my feelings
Staring at my feet
If I knew how I'd make it better
In a land of make-believe
Ahh
Ashes rise, ashes rise
Ahh
Ashes rise, ashes rise
Floating to the ceiling
Sinking in your teeth
Oh, oh, I know, well, I know, yeah, I know you think I lie
And I'm crushing all your dreams
Ahh
Ashes rise, ashes rise
Ahh
Ashes rise, ashes rise
Am I good enough?
Am I good enough
For you?
Ahh
Ashes rise, ashes rise
Ahh
Ashes rise, ashes rise
Staring at my feet
If I knew how I'd make it better
In a land of make-believe
Ahh
Ashes rise, ashes rise
Ahh
Ashes rise, ashes rise
Floating to the ceiling
Sinking in your teeth
Oh, oh, I know, well, I know, yeah, I know you think I lie

Come Alive
Midnight in a crowded room
Dancing in a blur
Hummingbirds and helicopter blades all spinning
Nobody to watch me
Nobody but me now
Loneliness is physical
Perception isn't free
Happiness is still a smoking gun
If you want it, you got it
You want it, you'll get it when you get down
When my days are only numbers
And my nights are china blue
On my own, I guess I'll dance until there's nothing left
'Cause it's all I wanna do
I come alive
I come alive
Breaks the frozen sea below
Tomorrow never knows
(Yeah)
Invisible, I'm dancing all alone and no-one goes
Nobody, nobody
Nobody but me now
When my days are only numbers
And my nights are china blue
On my own, I guess I'll dance until there's nothing left
'Cause it's all I wanna do
I come alive
Days are only numbers
Nights are china blue
When my days are only numbers
(Nobody but me now)
And my nights are china blue
(Nobody but me now)
On my own again, I'll dance until there's nothing left
'Cause it's all I wanna do
I come alive
I'll dance until there's nothing left
I come alive
I'll dance until there's nothing left
I'll dance until I come alive
Dancing in a blur
Hummingbirds and helicopter blades all spinning
Nobody to watch me
Nobody but me now
Loneliness is physical
Perception isn't free
Happiness is still a smoking gun
If you want it, you got it
You want it, you'll get it when you get down
When my days are only numbers
And my nights are china blue
On my own, I guess I'll dance until there's nothing left
'Cause it's all I wanna do

Move In Silence
I move in silence
All I grew up was violence
I don't blink with my eyelids
All I see is a memory
So blinded by guidance
I don't trust anyone that I know
So I guess that's why you came
Champagne and you fade out
Cocaine and a little clout
So now who's the one to blame?
All the kids that you kicked out
All the loved ones you spit out
I move in silence
All I grew up was violence
I don't blink with my eyelids
All I see is a memory
So blinded by guidance
I don't trust anyone that I know
Now remember how you came
You were walking on two feet
Now you're crawling on both knees
Do you ever fall asleep?
And you wake up in a dream
Where your life is where it should have been
A reflection in your mind
Turning water into wine
Did you think you'd make a fool of me?
I move in silence
All I grew up was violence
I don't blink with my eyelids
All I see is a memory
So blinded by guidance
I don't trust anyone that I know
I move in silence
All I grew up was violence
I don't blink with my eyelids
All I see is a memory
So blinded by guidance
I don't trust anyone that I know
Where have I been?
Have I been here before?
Where have I been?
Have I been here before?
I move in silence
All I grew up was violence
I don't blink with my eyelids
All I see is a memory
So blinded by guidance
I don't trust anyone that I know
I move in silence
All I grew up was violence
I don't blink with my eyelids
All I see is a memory
So blinded by guidance
I don't trust anyone that I know
I don't trust anyone
I don't trust anyone that I know

Happy Again
Hey, I saw you turn the other way
I know exactly what it feels like
We're turning inside
My eyes are red
Another tear and I'll be dead
Another lonely winter sundown
Just wanna shut down
It's easy to walk asleep in the daylight
I can't believe this is life
I can't believe this is my life
Another year gone by
I couldn't wait for the end
Looking for the day when I
I can be happy again
Another year gone by
I couldn't wait for the end
Looking for the day when I
I can be happy again
Hey, I hope you win the lottery
You can't handle what it feels like
Drownin' inside
Stuck in your head
I can't remember what you said
Another empty summer sunset
Feeling homesick
It's easy to walk asleep in the daylight
Can you believe this is life?
Can you believe this is your life?
Another year gone by
I couldn't wait for the end
Looking for the day when I
I can be happy again
Another year gone by
I couldn't wait for the end
Looking for the day when I
I can be happy again
Don't you know I need you?
Don't you know I need you?
Wish that I could see you one more time
Another year gone by
I couldn't wait for the end
Looking for the day when I
I can be happy again
Another year gone by
I couldn't wait for the end
Looking for the day when I
I can be happy again
I can be happy again
I can be happy again
I can be happy again
I can be happy again
I know exactly what it feels like
We're turning inside
My eyes are red
Another tear and I'll be dead
Another lonely winter sundown
Just wanna shut down
It's easy to walk asleep in the daylight
I can't believe this is life
I can't believe this is my life
Another year gone by
I couldn't wait for the end
Looking for the day when I

Another year gone by
I couldn't wait for the end
Looking for the day when I

Memory of a Day
Clinging to the postcard of a dream
And a million reflections in between
Hidden in the leaves
Blowing in the breeze
Afterlife is easier than living on your knees
It's your moment make it elegant
It's what you wanted but couldn't say
"I'm not afraid of dying"
Oh, what it feels like, ahh-ah
Just a memory of a day
Swimming in a bath of neon light
Only see it when you close your eyes
I gotta let it go, giving you control
Light a candle, start a fire, save a soul
It's your moment make it elegant
It's what you wanted but couldn't say
"I'm not afraid of dying"
Oh, what it feels like, ahh-ah
Just a memory of a day
It's what you wanted but couldn't say
"I'm not afraid of dying"
Oh, what it feels like, ahh-ah
Just a memory of a day
Just a memory of a day
Just a memory of a day
And a million reflections in between
Hidden in the leaves
Blowing in the breeze
Afterlife is easier than living on your knees
It's your moment make it elegant
It's what you wanted but couldn't say
"I'm not afraid of dying"
Oh, what it feels like, ahh-ah
Just a memory of a day
Swimming in a bath of neon light
Only see it when you close your eyes
I gotta let it go, giving you control
Light a candle, start a fire, save a soul
It's your moment make it elegant
It's what you wanted but couldn't say
"I'm not afraid of dying"
Oh, what it feels like, ahh-ah
Just a memory of a day
It's what you wanted but couldn't say
"I'm not afraid of dying"
Oh, what it feels like, ahh-ah
Just a memory of a day
Just a memory of a day
Just a memory of a day
