We're Still Breathing :
Everybody make some room, they're coming
Back it up, don't you know who's walking?
These are the biggest stars. They think they're going far
But let's back it up, back it up, back it up now
We invited you, this is our town and we don't take kindly to liars
Who asked you anyway?

Run your mouth and watch this slip away, you'll never take what we made.
We're better off now that you're gone
And I'm not sorry, I'll never apologize for the truth:
We're better off without you.

Now you can blame me all day for your loss,
but you got what you deserved, this is your fault.
So tell me all you know, it doesn't seem like that much now.
I am done being silent, compliant, useless and spineless, afraid.
I said I'm done being silent, compliant, useless and spineless. I'm not afraid.
None of this was ever yours
and I almost lost the things I worked so hard for.

Run your mouth and watch this slip away, you'll never take what we made.
We're better off now that you're gone
And I'm not sorry, I'll never apologize for the truth:
We're better off without you.

It's a sad day when you realize your friends will turn their backs,
but I'm getting past it all and I think we're right on track.
But you were never my friends, I could tell by all the things you said.
I won't forget, I won't forget.
You asked for silence so you can still hold up your head
but I can recall that when it was me the same courtesy was never granted.
You asked for silence so you can still hold up your head
I promise I won't speak, I'll sing this song instead.

Run your mouth and watch this slip away, you'll never take what we made.
We're better off now that you're gone
And I'm not sorry, I'll never apologize for the truth:
We're better off without you.

Thomas Was Here :
I wonder, can you hear me?
Have you been here all this time, right here with me?
Or is this all for nothing, am I talking to the air? Nothing here.
I need you to be here to say goodbye, all this time.
But years come and go and I still have dreams that your here.

What's real is the fact that I cant recall the sound of your voice.
I don't want to lose the memories, the way I lost you. They're all I had.
Life was never on our side.

Hard candy and pipes of tobacco, symphonies and apple peels; I see so clear.
Your arms, your face, your smile,
all the things I hold so dear are slipping away from me.
So show me the way 'cause I cannot find it on my own.
Life has a way of taking away the things I love the most.

What's real is the fact that I cant recall the sound of your voice.
I don't want to lose the memories, the way I lost you. They're all I have.
Life was never on our side.

Sleep holds no peace for me I cry in my dreams and wake in pain.
Sleep still holds no peace for me.
I don't want to dream and wake in pain.

I don't want to lose the memories the way I lost you.
They're all I have life was never on our side.

Lonewolf McQuade :
So this is where that road goes.
The shaded back road that desperate chose,
it leads you here to your last fight
and its ticking by.
You're dying slowly,
open your eyes.

This fight you're failing losing pieces of your life.
This picture's fading, there are memories on the line.
so one more battle can you turn it all around?
It's all depending on you, this final round.

With every step you find that vision gets a bit more hazy.
You fight for balance struggling in the wake of fragments of dreams
and they're ending here, lying broken dying at your feet.
will you turn and leave?
You're dying slowly,
open your eyes

This fight you're failing losing pieces of your life.
This picture's fading, there are memories on the line.
so one more battle can you turn it all around?
It's all depending on you, this final round.

you're all you have left, and you can't be carried.
your condition is "breaking"
your back is crumbling, open your eyes.
is this what you want for your life?
open your eyes
is this what you want for your life?
open your eyes

This fight you're failing losing pieces of your life.
This picture's fading, there are memories on the line.
so one more battle can you turn it all around?
It's all depending on you, this final round.
You're dying slowly,
open your eyes

You've Dug Your Own Grave, Now Lie In It :
I didn't plan this and if I did,
I wouldnt be having this conversation now
cuz I cant take it. No i cant take it but I'll be fair
and I wont fake this. I cant unbreak something thats broken now.
This is over for me.

This is just the way it has to be.
Im so sorry, please believe me its not what I wanted.
But it's just the way, this has to be.
Please forgive me when I tell you its not what I wanted.
Hey you, keep breathing. Just keep breathing.
Hey you, if its meant to be, it will come back to you.

So now here we are in this place where both of us should never have to be.
we put out everything, it didnt mean we wouldnt bleed.
maybe it wasnt supposed to last forever, but maybe's not what i need.
this is something that i chose, so does it feel like it could kill me?

This is just the way it has to be.
Im so sorry, please believe me its not what I wanted.
But it's just the way, this has to be.
Please forgive me when I tell you its not what I wanted.
Hey you, keep breathing. Just keep breathing.
Hey you, if its meant to be, it will come back to you.

i am lost, so far from unknown. who will save me from myself?
i am lost so far from unknown, who will save me from myself?

This is just the way it has to be.
Im so sorry, please believe me its not what I wanted.
But it's just the way, this has to be.
Please forgive me when I tell you its not what I wanted.
Hey you, keep breathing. Just keep breathing.
Hey you, if its meant to be, it will come back to you

Decorating For Cinco De Mayo :
[Chorus]
I can't find a way out
and the clocks are broken, leaking time.
One more second, I may die
'Cuz my wounds are open bleeding life.

[Verse 1]
You're a problem, I'll never solve.
How do I say it and let it go?
You never told me just what you wanted,
I'm only guessing you're wanting me.
I never said this is what I wanted,
A love that's shaking and all onesided.
So tell me why you have kept me here,
Empty and lifeless, afraid to leave this.
Should I stay and pretend to smile?
There's nothing for me, I need to go.

[Chorus]
I can't find a way out
and the clocks are broken, leaking time.
One more second, I may die
'Cuz my wounds are open bleeding life.

Where do you go when your eyes are closed?
Why do you waste it all for show?
Am I there when your eyes are closed?
Am I wasting this all for show? Am I wrong? Is this wrong?
Is it a lie? You always lie.
Look at you, already gone..
But expecting me here waiting for you when
you're feeling lonely.

[Chorus]
I can't find a way out
and the clocks are broken, leaking time.
One more second, I may die
'Cuz my wounds are open bleeding life.

And I will never know
why I let myself be broken.
But when this rip becomes a tear,
I'll have lost the will for hoping. If i stay I risk losing a part of me that i once loved.
And you're not worth that loss,
I'll chalk it up to broken hearts.
If I'm strong and I dig myself out,
I'll live.

[Chorus]
I can't find a way out
and the clocks are broken, leaking time.
One more second, I may die
'Cuz my wounds are open bleeding life.
I'm not ready to give my life

Until This Day :
When you know, you know. I know with you I'm going to go somewhere I've never been.
But it's where I want to be, I breathe easy for the first time.

I never got much out of this life,
Never saw myself in someone's eyes until this day.
Never had the things I really wanted,
Never had the things that people flaunted
Until this day with you.

I cant explain just how changed how I see myself now, its amazing.
I never want this feeling to leave me. Please don't ever leave me.

I never got much out of this life,
Never saw myself in someone's eyes until this day.
Never had the things I really wanted,
Never had the things that people flaunted
Until this day with you

I never saw this coming on And now that its here i wont let go
this could save me

I never got much out of this life,
Never saw myself in someone's eyes until this day.
Never had the things I really wanted,
Never had the things that people flaunted
Until this day with you
I know this is the best thing for me, the best thing for me

They Almost Got Me :
I sang the song the blackbird sings, a song so blue.
A requiem for the dreams he never knew. I never knew what I missed when Im so focused on things I cant undo. Standing's only half the battle now I have to move.

Finally everythings unfolding now,
i'd forgotten how life can pick you up when it spits you out.
Im ok now.
Im forgetting all the years i spent hoping things would change.
Today is a good day, a good day.

I'll take this time to be thankful for all the days I'm given
cuz every moment spent on wishes is a moment im missing.
i dont want to waste my time, I want to be there for life.
I dont want to waste my time, this is my life.

Finally everythings unfolding now,
i'd forgotten how life can pick you up when it spits you out.
Im ok now.
Im forgetting all the years i spent hoping things would change.
Today is a good day, a good day.

Its never late, things can change. Everyday has a meaning. And i know when things get hard you want to run away.
but these things you can face and this fate you can change.
And this place will hold joy if you stay where you are,
dont you push it away.

Finally everythings unfolding now,
i'd forgotten how life can pick you up when it spits you out.
Im ok now.
Im forgetting all the years i spent hoping things would change.
Today is a good day, a good day

Snowman What's Your 20? :
Silence, listen
Write it down, take it in
I was never interested in shadows,
they've nothing for me.
And i will never be your shadow though you look right through me.
This is not the way to live a life, it's not a life.
It's just a way of wasting time, I wont waste time.

Cause you give up...
On everything...

Thrown away, your only chance to ever know me in and out.
Im shutting down now.
If i was the best thing ever for you, you wont see cuz its gone now.

I can hear the things you say, all your complaints.
Where's tomorrow? I hate today, wont this go away?
But while you shut your eyes, it's passing by. I'll wave goodbye.
But its not me thats on your mind. Am i on your mind?

You give up...
On everything...

Thrown away, your only chance to ever know me in and out.
Im shutting down now.
If i was the best thing ever for you, you wont see cuz its gone now.

One more last chance
Makes no difference
They're all the same...
They're all the same...

One more last chance
Makes no difference
They're all the same...
They're all the same...

Thrown away, your only chance to ever know me in and out.
Im shutting down now.
If i was the best thing ever for you, you wont see cuz its gone now.

I'll watch you throw this away.
oh dont you throw it away.
one day it will be worth it.
Oh don't you throw this away
I know it's worth it to you
Oh no, oh no

The Sun's Up, But You're Down :
One trip it all came down
you think it's over now.
but its not time to break
there's at least 10 more rounds in this game.

I know the way from here, so I'll go and one day you'll care.
And everything you say and everything you take could never make me give in.
So you just give me time and please believe that I'll forget about this one day.

Cuz I'll try til my whole face goes blue and I cant breathe
this chance is worth taking.
So take this time, say goodbye cuz I'll follow this road til the end.

One step the world awaits.
It all begins today.
Just know i didnt break,
this time there's nothing you can say.
I know the way from here, so I'll go and one day you'll care.
And everything you say and everything you take could never make me give in.
So you just give me time and please believe that I'll forget about this one day.

Cuz I'll try til my whole face goes blue and I cant breathe
this chance is worth taking.
So take this time, say goodbye cuz I'll follow this road til the end.

They say live and let live, forget but i cant forgive someone with a heart that cannot give.
There's no room for those so critical of everything that's meaningful.
I know I'll forget you. I know I'll forget you now

The Day Dixie Crumbled :
I dont want to have to say this twice,
dont make me lift a finger,
even though i owe you one.
i can think of a thousand things inside my head i'd love to scream
but i just hold my tongue.
you dont think that i can hear but my ears are always burning.
dont make me say this twice.

Dont you tell me that its ok, that you never said a word when I wasnt looking.
I'll tear this playhouse down and laugh at how your drama has no place.
You never should have crossed me.

Now that I know that things will never ever be the same..
oh wait, i forgot that this was never really all that great.
There are better ways to waste my time, stay right there
I'll be the one to walk away from
you dont think that i can hear but my ears are always burning.
dont make me say this twice.

Dont you tell me that its ok, that you never said a word when I wasnt looking.
I'll tear this playhouse down and laugh at how your drama has no place.
You never should have crossed me

You dug your grave, you cant get out
should i top the dirt off to keep you down?
You dug your grave, you cant get out
should i top the dirt off to keep you down?
You dont think that i can hear.
You dont think that i can hear

Jersey Girl :
From the top I fell and landed on my face
The bottom became my place
So far under low you almost couldn't see me
Kept falling in and digging holes that were just way too deep

And tunnel vision's all I know (all I know)
True perspective never holds (never holds)
Stationery never got me anywhere
I’m broken in but breaking out of here

I’ll fake it if that's what it takes to get me moving
Sometimes it takes a crash to turn around your thinking
Tell me that this time there's something out there for me
Tell me there's something

Nothing helps to call you out
It broke my legs and brought me down
Just in case blue skies were forming
It broke my neck and blacked me out
Shoved the shade in, forced it down
And tore the sky down for me

Nothing helps to call you out
It broke my legs and brought me down
Just in case blue skies were forming
It broke my neck and blacked me out
Shoved the shade in, forced it down
And tore the sky down for me

And tunnel vision's all I know
True perspective never holds
Stationery never got me anywhere
I’m broken in but breaking out of here

This time I want to feel something
It’s time I feel there’s something there

This time I want to feel something
It’s time I feel there’s something there

This time I want to feel something
It’s time I feel there’s something there

This time I want to feel something
It’s time I feel there’s something there

I want to feel
(I feel so alone)
I need to feel
(Lost it all)
I want to feel
(I feel so alone)
I need to feel

But tunnel vision's all I know
And true perspective never holds
Stationery never got me anywhere
I’m broken in but breaking out of here
This time I feel there's something there
Ten thousand clocks but now I care
I'm ripping threads I hope I tear away

Love The Look, Hate The Lifestyle :
It wasn't time for this,
it never is,
the minutes, they hide from me,
and it's the cruelest game of hide and seek,
where all I want is slipping through my fingers,
and I'm crumbling, it all falls apart everytime.

this break forms on a fault,
everything's fragile now,
and hanging by my last heartstring,
these eyes glaze over,
these feet stumble forth,
and everything is ignored,
these feet stumble forth,
these eyes glaze over,
there's nothing to see here anymore.

and it's something I've always wanted,
something I'm always chasing,
but I followed it down too far,
into the trenches,
down where this belongs now.

this break forms on a fault,
everything's fragile now,
and hanging by my last heartstring,
these eyes glaze over,
these feet stumble forth,
and everything is ignored,
these feet stumble forth,
these eyes glaze over,
there's nothing to see here anymore.

And I'll say goodbye to the thing I've always wanted,
let it go.

this break forms on a fault,
everything's fragile now,
and hanging by my last heartstring,
these eyes glaze over,
these feet stumble forth,
and everything is ignored,
these feet stumble forth,
these eyes glaze over,
there's nothing to see here anymore.

The Real Mcquade :
Bound in flesh where blood runs deep,
and underneath are 1000 years tied to stones thrown in,
not deep enough for me...

Who cares about these ties,
they bound me by my neck and they choke me,
Who cares about lost time,
Because you threw the clock away.

I'll cut the pieces of you away,
a monument to pain,
but cuts turn to scars and they don't fade,
it's all the same,
you never asked me what I thought of you,
it doesn't matter, who cares?

Who cares about these ties,
they bound me by my neck and they choke me,
Who cares about lost time,
Because you threw the clock away.
Why do I find its not so hard to say we're over and done with?
it's over.
Why do I find its not so hard for me to go,
Why do I find it's not so hard to say we're over and done with?
we're over. Why do I find it's not so hard for me to go?

Why do I find, it's not so hard to go?
Why do I find it's not so hard to leave?

Who cares about these ties,
they bound me by my neck and they choke me,
Who cares about lost time,
Because you threw the clock away.
Why do I find its not so hard to say we're over and done with? its over.
Why do I find its not so hard to go?
Why do I find its not so hard to say we're over and done with? It's over.
Why do I find its not so hard for me to leave.
Just go.
