Deadlights 04:17
Once again in a crowded den Got in trouble with the law again I’m sure there’s a reason but I’m being told That searching for a meaning is getting old Got caught up in the race tonight Against regulation because wrong is right You’re telling me I ain’t the same But change is continuous and I’m not to blame Let’s just say it shows Which way it blows But the wind will follow The rain in sorrow And I will do the same mistakes again Twice a night I feel alright But suddenly it’s out of sight The one thing I hold dear and cherish most Seizes to exist and I’m pale as a ghost Got caught up in the race tonight Against regulation because wrong is right You’re telling me I ain’t the same But change is continuous and I’m not to blame Let’s just say it shows Which way it blows But the wind will follow The rain in sorrow And I will do the same mistakes again Deadlights shut me out While the sun burns clear and bright Deadlights shut me out Complete darkness still out of sight Let’s just say it shows Which way it blows But the wind will follow The rain in sorrow And I will do the same mistakes again

Feeling the chills as I’m closing the window The air runs thin With all the things I never could let go The mess I’m in But I’ve made up my mind I’m keeping My stories to myself And somehow I will get revenge I’m not saying I’m leading the way to a revolution I’m not saying I’m giving you hopes in a better way But in my mind there’s a lot of anticipation Watch me as I’m flipping you off And stay prepared for a brand new day Heading down to my favourite safe place Where I feel home Where no one knows my name and I am a stranger That’s where I belong Even if I’ll never end up a loner I think I’ve made my point And somehow I will get revenge I’m not saying I’m leading the way to a revolution I’m not saying I’m giving you hopes in a better way But in my mind there’s a lot of anticipation Watch me as I’m flipping you off And stay prepared for a brand new day I’m not saying I’m leading the way to a revolution I’m not saying I’m giving you hopes in a better way But in my mind there’s a lot of anticipation Watch me as I’m flipping you off And stay prepared for a brand new day

Good Enough 03:21
Getting rowdy by the fireside It’s easier than being alone Wasting every little inch of time Just to get into the zone It’s getting better and I’m throwing out the letters From a time when I was on a roll This song’s a shaker I’m a giver not a taker And the running has taken its toll But you know When your body turns to stone When the angels are going home There’s a feeling that I get that I’ll never forget Being good is good enough Lighting up all the candles of trust Blowing them out in a single beat It’s a desire getting smoke without the fire But I think that I can take the heat It’s getting better since I threw out all the letters From a time when I was on the verge This tune’s a rocker I’m a designated shocker And I’m starting to feel the urge But you know When your body turns to stone When the angels are going home There’s a feeling that I get that I’ll never forget Being good is good enough Getting rowdy by the fireside It’s easier than being alone Wasting every little inch of time Just to get into the zone It’s getting better and I’m throwing out the letters From a time when I was on a roll This song’s a shaker I’m a giver not a taker And the running has taken its toll But you know When your body turns to stone When the angels are going home There’s a feeling that I get that I’ll never forget Being good is good enough Being good is good enough Being good is good enough

I know it’s crazy but it’s driving me mad We think the best is what we’ve never had Wrong side of the tracks Nails against backs My mind makes up for what my body lacks She’s like tomorrow If tomorrow turns out fine It’s not a steal nor a sorrow That I’m gonna make her mine All doors open, all eyes closed Getting the least of what I need the most Hare-hearted with a shield of gold Never say forever is what I’ve been told All doors open, all eyes closed Catch and release Tease me with ease How could I let it go in times like these? She’s like tomorrow If tomorrow turns out fine It’s not a steal nor a sorrow That I’m gonna make her mine There’s a million other things I should do But I’d rather be with you You know she’s just like tomorrow And tomorrow will be fine She’s like tomorrow If tomorrow turns out fine It’s not a steal nor a sorrow That I’m gonna make her mine You know she’s just like tomorrow If tomorrow turns out fine It’s not a steal nor a sorrow That I’m gonna make her mine You know she’s like tomorrow She’s like tomorrow She’s like tomorrow

Pack your bags let me take you for a ride When it all comes down there’s nowhere to hide Nothing beats a good time on your own But right now your freedom is overthrown It is alright to feel lost But there ain’t no use to override the costs There is no battle you can’t win Just remember victory is the ultimate sin You got it all still you want something more When the house is built you walk out the door It’s a growing pain being stuck with the truth All you have to give disappears with youth It is alright to feel lost But there ain’t no use to override the costs There is no battle you can’t win Just remember victory is the ultimate sin It is alright to feel lost But there ain’t no use to override the costs There is no battle you can’t win Just remember victory is the ultimate sin Just remember victory is the ultimate sin Just remember victory is the ultimate sin

Limitations 03:09
Counting the days I’ll be away Counting the days until I’m back home to stay Uncertain times and come what may I saw my dream pass before my eyes Apparent truce became battle cries When the lights came on I didn’t realize I would die for you but not right now I’m gonna make it work but I really don’t know how If there is a time and place I’ll make my final stand I’ll handle things the only way I can Safe and sorry at the same time Moving forward by leaving behind Losing what I have to get what I find Living life in mysterious ways Won’t help me get through the daze But I’ll answer to whatever I have to face I would die for you but not right now I’m gonna make it work but really I don’t know how If there is a time and place I’ll make my final stand I’ll handle things the only way I can I would die for you but not right now I’m gonna make it work but really I don’t know how If there is a time and place I’ll make my final stand I’ll handle things the only way I can

Feather 03:15 video
When your dreams keep draining you dry When you wake up late at night and don’t know why When your bones seem weak and you want to cry Remember I’m here until the day we die You could have knocked me over With a feather or a stone I would still not run for cover Even with all chances blown We came close to tearing it all down We had every trench in sight but kept our ground We gave it all we had and what we found We embraced and turned into our own sound You could have knocked me over With a feather or a stone I would still not run for cover Even with all chances blown You could have knocked me over With a feather or a stone I would still not run for cover Even with all chances blown You could have knocked me over With a feather or a stone I would still not run for cover Even with all chances blown You could have knocked me over With a feather or a Wth a feather or a stone I would still not run for cover Even with all chances blown

You better believe me I’m gonna fix this mess I’ve been drinking from the fountain The well of success There’s a time and place But I think it’s starting to come down To the point of realization To tip that crown Here’s to having doubts And never thinking I am the one Give it a rest because now that it is said and done I am all blown out And everything is looking pale You think I’m lying like the wind But mark my words I know I’m wearing thin, trust me I’ve got a lot of money comin’ in There’s a whole in the wall And I know I’m getting on your nerve The heat is on it’s way down It’s less than you deserve I give you all I got and still it’s never enough Your view of life is beyond limits and it’s tough To meet your expectations I’d rather call your bluff But try to see it my way I think you’d understand That this is what I’m doing and it’s gonna buy us land I am all blown out And everything is looking pale You think I’m lying like the wind But mark my words I know I’m wearing thin, trust me I’ve got a lot of money comin’ in Here’s to having doubts And never thinking I am the one Give it a rest because now that it is said and done I am all blown out And everything is looking pale You think I’m lying like the wind But mark my words I know I’m wearing thin, trust me I’ve got a lot of money comin’ in

I’m very sorry That I never got through to you All the things I promised All the lies that wouldn’t do I had a vision That I was gonna realize But I made a decision When things just wasn’t right I never want to be too good at anything 'Cause that would mean the risk of something permanent I choose satisfaction over success I’m forever the optimist You can call me a fool Naive or even dumb I will happily play that part If it means I don’t have to run But I’ll get up and leave Before it all gets too dark I’ll stay forever As long as there’s a spark I never want to be too good at anything 'Cause that would mean the risk of something permanent I choose satisfaction over success I’m forever the optimist I never want to be too good at anything 'Cause that would mean the risk of something permanent I choose satisfaction over success I’m forever the optimist

Talk is cheap and nobody listens Even though points are made Sometimes the occasional eyes can glisten But we are all part of the same charade Ten million times a day we hear the same old story And no one cares to think at all We find it odd to leave things uncertain But we tend to go around instead of climbing the unavoidable mountain Ten million times a day we hear the same old story And no one cares to think of how to change despair into glory Until I hear a voice that wants to get things done I’m gonna run my silver tongue Money talks and everyone forfeits To the point of no return Lack of courage amongst trendy misfits Why should it be anyone’s concern Ten million times a day we hear the same old story And no one cares to think of how to change despair into glory Until I hear a voice that wants to get things done I’m gonna run my silver tongue My silver tongue
11.
There’s a lot of feelings Feelings I’ve been trying to hide Love despair and anger The inability to choose sides Is there a way to keep from falling In which direction can I see what should be in front of me Bring back the good old days When I could shut my eyes and make it go away Fast forward to a brighter time Where things pass by and I can feel okay This has been going on for too long I can’t tell right from wrong I have no more answers I simply don’t have a clue But there comes a time when Everything has to start with you Suddenly I hear a siren calling Why can’t it show me how to see what should be in front of me Bring back the good old days When I could shut my eyes and make it go away Fast forward to a brighter time Where things pass by and I can feel okay This has been going on for too long I can’t tell right from wrong Bring back the good old days When I could shut my eyes and make it go away Fast forward to a brighter time Where things pass by and I can feel okay This has been going on for too long I can’t tell right from wrong

Hindsight 03:42
We were on our way to heaven We made it almost through We took a glance at freedom But if we only knew That what we viewed as true life In fact put us through hell With no way of turning back Left was an empty shell The time has come to stop the show (Let it go, let it go, let it go) And put an end to all we know (Let it go, let it go, let it go) We’ve given all we had and the answer is still no It’s getting dark just let it go Not the point nor the question But it don’t matter now I had the map and compass But I lost track somehow I gave in at full throttle Way more than I could take Hold on to your bottle If you have more hearts to break The time has come to stop the show (Let it go, let it go, let it go) And put an end to all we know (Let it go, let it go, let it go) We’ve given all we had and the answer is still no It’s getting dark just let it go The time has come to stop the show And put an end to all we know (Let it go, let it go, let it go) We’ve given all we had and the answer is still no It’s getting dark just let it go The time has come to stop the show (Let it go, let it go, let it go) And put an end to all we know (Let it go, let it go, let it go) We’ve given all we had and the answer is still no It’s getting dark just let it go
