Right NowRight now I'm in a state of excuses
Right now you're in a state of lies
You can't see past the confusion
Try looking through your own pair of eyes
Right now I think you're out of touch
Right now I think you've lost the sight
(chorus)You can't believe it
You can't have it and it kills you to see it
A constant explosion
Your politics just add to the motion(end chorus)
There's a difference between living and breathing
I don't know if you've crossed that line
You tell me you don't bother to wonder
You tell me that everything's fine
Red
I get nothing from these days
The times have changed; now I have aged
Will this state of gray remain
Until we grow old and die someday?
We've grown up and we've moved on
And still we ask "Where have the good times gone?"
We left them behind four years ago
When we made the choice of growing old
(chorus)Time to turn my head and turn my back
These girls lose interest way to fast
Things like third grade never seemed to last
This song's for the past(end chorus)
It's kind of sad how times have changed
But I still don't act my age
I hold on tight what I can save
I live inside of memories
Somehow it just always seems
The best things I have are in my dreams
Because time is our worst enemy
It's killed everything we used to be
Lock & Key
Last night I saw two girls I haven't seen in forever
They told me that last year was the best year of their lives
I said, "I'm sorry girls, but I have to beg to differ."
But they didn't understand that night
Little do they know I hate where everybody goes
I need a new place to live my life
(chorus)It'll never be alright
Stuck here every single Friday night
For the rest of our lives(end chorus)
They kept asking me what was wrong
I told them to just forget it
Because it's all over now
And things just keep getting better
Today marks the end
I'll never go back there again
The Dark Coast
Pieces of my broken dreams
Are coming together
This is how I should feel
But will it last forever?
Just give it some time
And it'll lose its sweetness
As as it always does
And it forever will
The days go by
Like whispers when I'm dreaming
But I'm beginning to believe
(chorus)Today's a beautiful day for a hand grenade(end chorus)
I sit awake sometimes
Under the moonlight
The fact that it's accepted
Doesn't make it right
It's hard to go on
When you don't control the tides
It tears right through my head
Like a hole in the sky
I'll never change the world
Like a hole in the sky
The Ants Gather for Winter
There was a time in my life
Where I thought that things were right
I learned it's hardest to see
When it's in plain sight
And it's already began
So I tell you to blink
For this is the final time
You'll ever see of me
This is the coldest winter
We'll ever see
(chorus)One thousand hearts tore when you left us in the dark
I bet it makes you sad you'll never feel that right
I wait until the time, the moment when it all falls apart
The ants have spawned their wings, now watch my dreams take flight(end chorus)
There was a time in my life
Where I thought that things were true
The autumn was our fall
We rusted all for you
And it's already over
So I tell you, I beg you to breathe
For this winter's the coldest winter we will ever see
This winter's the coldest winter we will ever see
Chamber of Reason
Time to run away
From the pain that ails me
These things she can't convey
That's what she tells me
Her cries seem to say
"Can't you help me?"
It all ends today
Because this is unhealthy
She doesn't realize that things aren't as they seem
This kind of relationship only exists on Dawson's Creek
(chorus)This chamber is the pain that stained when you left me here
It's now enveloped me and it'll never go away
A lie's still a lie- I'll never trust anyone again
So there's no turning back now- like you turned your back on me(end chorus)
Now it's time to stay
With the trust that saved me
Confrontations will be made
With the one who slayed me
I know I am afraid
But I'm done evading
All of those times that I hit the ground
For hope is fading
The Judas Cradle(The Ants Part 2)
Now, the times have changed
The winter's gone; on comes the rain
The silence of a city brings
Unfathomable pain
The wings- ants of my dreams
Fly like the night when winter screams
Truthfulness and righteousness mean
Not a thing to me
Fools- the ones who thought
The ants would fall- but they cannot
Immortal beasts wreak havok
As one million corpses rot
(chorus)Are these wings that I have of demons or of eagles?(end chorus)
Now, tables have turned
The ants have flown; the people burned
The vengeance of a man brings the
Largest lesson ever learned
The dream: eternity
Demon's wings or eagle's wings?
Truthfulness and righteousness mean
Everything to me
The blades they drive though me
Make me laugh as I bleed
People thought that I would fall
As they do: easily
The end will never come
For I will cradle everyone
Inside of the darkness
Where my transformation had begun
There's Nothing Left in Columbia
Explanations
Are nothing but useless
But I'll hear them anyway
So the question arises:
"Why would anyone choose this?"
Empty reasons pave the way
(chorus)Now there's nothing left in my mind
Just like Columbia
A city that's left behind(end chorus)
If there is some gain
For living wasted time
I should have gained everything
And I'll never lose at all
For all I do is hide
But what will happen when I fall?
When I rest my head at night
I look up to the stars
Which one of those is mine?
All the kids tell me
Things will get alright
How do I know they will be fine?
SomeoneWhy did you have to be the one?
Why did we have to name our place in the empty sun?
Why do I feel like I am lost?
Twenty two hours of staring has its costs
(Chorus)Even if we can't be together
Our stars will be side by side forever
But we'll just have to wait and see
How I'm feeling
How you're feeling
If it's something that we need(chorus)
Why must routine be routine?
Why must your beautiful face be just a memory?
Why must no one understand?
I'd love to help you so much more but I'm only human
Somebody
Somebody
Someone
To be somebody
To be someone
To have somebody
To have someone
I'm sure I'll hate myself for this
But I'm leaving tomorrow
So this good bye
Is the last one
