1.Careful
I sat on down
And twisted up front
The skies die
A smile whirl
You would have never known
I have it all
But not when I wanted
'Cause over me was a place uncharted
And overgrown
You make your way in
I resist you, just like this
You can't tell me to feel
The truth never set me free
So I did it myself
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach a little more
More
More
More
More
Open your eyes
Like I opened mine
It's only the real world
Life you will never know
Shifting your way
To throw off the pain
Well you can ignore it
But only for so long
You look like I did
You resist me just like this
You can't tell me to heal
And it hurts remembering
How it felt to shut down
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach a little more
More
More
More
More
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free, so I'll do it myself
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out more
More
More
More

2.Ignorance
If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel, your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
We're not the same
Oh, we're not the same
Yeah the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change
Is good, is good
It's goodddddd
Oh you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no it's not a rapture
I'm just a person, but you can't take it
The same tricks that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Oh now I can fend for myself
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
We're not the same
Oh, we're not the same
Yeah we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change
Is good, is good
It's goodddddd
Oh you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Oh you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go I best be on my way out
3.Playing God
I can't make my own decisions
or make any with precision.
Well maybe you should tie me up,
so I don't go where you don't want me.
You say that I've been changin'
that I'm not just simply agin'.
Yeah,How can that be logical?
Just keep cramming ideas down my throat.
woo oh oohh oh
You don't have to believe me
but the way I, way I see it
next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
or brake it, brake it off
next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror.
If God's the game that you're playing
Well we must get more acquainted
because it has to be so lonely
to be the only one who's holy.
It's just my humble opinion
but it's one that I believe in.
You don't deserve a point of view
if the only thing you see, is you.
wo oh oohh oh
You don't have to believe me
but the way I way I see it
next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
or brake it brake it off
next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror.
This is the last second chance
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm half as good as it gets
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm on both sides of the fence
(I'll point you to the mirror)
Without a hint of regret,
I'll hold you to it.
I know you don't believe me
but the way I, way I see it
next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
or brake it, brake it off
next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror.
I know you won't believe me
but the way I, way I see it
next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
or brake it, brake it off
next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror.
4.Brick By Boring Brick
She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da
So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck 12
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
or the wolves gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground
And your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Or even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da...
5.Turn It Off
I scraped my knees when I was praying
And found a demon in my safest haven, seems like
It's getting harder to believe in anything
And just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts
I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light?
But turn it off
In all my spite
In all my spite
I'll turn it off
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
The tragedy it seems unending
I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending
We're taking short cuts and false solutions
Just to come out the hero
Well I can see behind the curtain
The world's cranking, turning, so wrong the way we're working
Towards a goal, that's nonexistent
It's nonexistent, but we just keep believing
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
I wanna know what it'll be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light?
But turn it off
In all my spite
In all my spite
I'll turn it off
Just turn it off
Again~
Again~
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
6.The Only Exception
When i was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And cursed at the wind
He broke his own heart
And i watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
Id never sing of love
If it does not exist
But darlin,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
Maybe i know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And i've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm content
With loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk, but
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know your leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
Oh---
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, And Im on my way to believing.
7.Feeling Sorry
We still live in the same town, well, don't we?
But I don't see you around anymore.
I go to all the same places, not even a trace of you..
Your days are numbered at 24.
And I'm getting bored waiting round for you,
We're not getting any younger, and I
Won't look back 'cause there's no use
It's time to move forward!
I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave!
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time for feeling sorry!
I tried not to think of what might happen,
When your reality, finally, cuts through.
Well, as for me, I got out and I'm on the road.
The worst part it that this (THIS!), this could be you.
You know it too, you can't run from your shame!
You're not getting any younger, time,
Is passing by, but you waited awake..
It's time to roll over!
I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave!
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time for feeling sorry!
And all the best lies,
They are told with fingers tied!
So cross them tight,
Won't you promise me tonight
If it's the last thing you do, you'll get out..
I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave.
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time, I've got no time!
I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave!
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
Got no time!
I've got no time for feeling sorry!
I've got no time for feeling sorry!
8.Looking Up
Things are looking up, oh finally!
I thought I'd never see the day when you smile at me.
We always pull through
oh when we try,
I'm always wrong but you're never right.
You're never right!
Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's
asleep?
I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this!
It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh..
It's not a dream anymore! It's worth fighting for.
Could have given up so easily
I was a few cheap shots away from the end of me
Taken for granted, almost everything that I would have died for
Just yesterday,
Just yeterday
Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's
asleep?
I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this!
It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh..
It's not a dream anymore! It's worth fighting for.
God knows the world doesn't need another band, (whoo-oa,
whooo-oa!)
But what a waste it would've been! (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
I can't believe we almost hung it up (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
We're just getting started (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's
asleep?
I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this!
It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh..
It's not a dream anymore! It's worth fighting for.
I can't believe we almost hung it up (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
We're just getting started (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
I can't believe we almost hung it up (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
We're just getting started
We're just getting started.
9.Where The Lines Overlap
Give me attention
I need it now
Too much distance
To measure it out (out loud)
Chasing patterns
Across a personal map
Makeing pictures
Where the lines overlap
Where the lines overlap
No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but
We already won
No no, no one
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Call me over
And tell me how
You got so far
Never making a single sound
I'm not used to it
But I can learn
Theres nothing to it
Ive never been happier
Ive never been happier
No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but
We already won
No no, no one
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Now Ive got a feeling if I sang this loud enough, you
Would sing it back to me
I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough, you
Will sing it back to me
Ive got a feeling
I've got a feeling
That you, will sing it back to me
That you, will sing it back to me
No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but
We already won
No no, no one
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
10.Misguided Ghosts
(1,2,3,4)
I'm going away for a while
But I'll be back, don't try to follow me
'cause I'll return as soon as possible
See I'm trying to find my place
But it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistake
And run
From the, from them
With no direction
Run from them, from them
With no conviction
I'm just one of those ghosts
Travelling endlessly
Don't need no road
In fact they follow you
And we just go in circles
Now I'm told that this life
And pain is just a simple comprimise
So we can get what we want out of it
Someone try to classify,
A broken heart and twisted minds
So I can find someone to rely on
And run
To them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh you are not
Useless
We are just
Misguided ghosts
Travelling endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
And theres no one role
We should not be the same
But I'm just a ghost
And still they echo me
They echo me in circles
11.All I Wanted
Think of me when you're out, when you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
When the world treats you way too fairly
It's a shame i'm a dream
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
And wake up early to black and white re-runs?
That escaped from the mouth
Oh-Oh
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
I could follow you to the beginning
And just relive the start
And maybe then we'll remember to slow down
To all of our favorite parts
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
12.Decode
How can I decide what's right
When you're clouding up my mind?
I can't win
You're losing fight
All the time
Not gonna ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time
How did we get here?
I used to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own
(I'm screaming, 'I love you so')
(My thoughts you can't decode)
How did we get here?
I used to know you so well, yeah
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools
Of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools
Of ourselves
How did we get here?
I used to know you so well, yeah
How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well
I think I know
I think I know
There is something I see in you
It might kill me
I want it to be true
