Versus The Ocean Evolve Lyrics
1.00:00 (Zero Hour)

Oh my God!
Are you scared?
The end's about to begin
Your shaking too badly to stand
You've squandered your chances
And buried them in the sand

The fear is infectious
Your mind seems contentious
The look in your eyes say your trembling
So hold on
You're not safe here

There's no one to save you
No haven to run to
The ground that you stand on is crumbling
So hold on
You're not safe

So get up, so get up!

If you want to believe
That what you've done has been forgotten
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Breathe easy knowing
That your life is out of your hands
Whatever helps you sleep at night

Oh my God!
Oh it's here
The end's about to begin
We've got to move quickly, you hear?
I said this was crucial
So wake up and hold your tears

And just this once
I'll hold your hand
All the world has frozen in a glance
Just this once

You're living a broken lie
You're living a broken life
You're living a broken lie
Oh I've been waiting so patiently
For this day to finally come and it's here
Now drop down to your knees


2.A Liar's Eyes

And with a bang it all came crashing down
Where's your heart now?
Where's your heart now?

I think it's obvious you misplaced it somewhere
Or you just didn't care to search hard enough

What kind of courage does it take
To turn and walk away?

So when you told me
I could count on you to be there
I was looking through a liar's eyes
I was looking through a liar's eyes

And even if I wrote this song for you
It wouldn't reach you
It wouldn't reach you

As far as I'm concerned
I really wouldn't shed a tear

If I never saw your face again
That's if you had the audacity to show it
What kind of courage does it take to walk away?

So when you told me
I could count on you to be there
I was looking through a liar's eyes
I was looking through a liar's eyes

And for your safety's sake LIAR
You should pray I don't find out the truth
You're no better than the murderers and thieves
When I needed you the most
You were nowhere to be seen


3.Glass Floors And Golden Ceilings

It seems the world is mad
Slowly dying, controlled by those who have
Where integrity finds itself trapped between self-indulgence and
greed

They speak their minds
And say it all too well
We've opened up our hearts
Then had them drug through hell

How could you bear to see the look in our eyes
While you watched us burn alive?

They say the worst is over
It's come and gone
And left us sober
We've lost it all in between the lines

We saw this coming
But it's far too late now

The say the worst is over
It's come and gone
And left us sober
We've lost it all in between the lines

But something tells me the worst isn't over quite yet

The rage is setting in
Taking me where I can't defend myself
There is no comfort here
No life, no dream, no love

Remember when we were reaching for hope,
And you let go of our hands?

We live like ghosts
Resentful and lost
In search of vengeance
We'll never find

So are we alive
Longing to fight off this dire affair?
Or are we dead
And all alone?

What have they done?
They've created the ultimate monster
What have they done?
They've created the ultimate monster

They'll die to keep their secrets
They'll die to keep their secrets
They'll die to keep their secrets
They'll ruin your life

So you'd better run


4.Carpe Diem

As these words grow on the page I write not in spite,
But in hope of ridding my life of the tensions that bind me.
The things I reflect upon are only for the purpose of learning
And growing from the positive, and negative experiences I've
had.
So many people live their lives unhappily because they can't be
honest with themselves.
I refuse to lie on my deathbed with regrets


5.Believe Nothing Is Hopeless

Awake, I feel
The sun beats on my shoulders
Drink and smile
This water tastes much colder

My fears have never seemed
So inconsequential
The clouds have left my sky
And given way to a will

Walking out into the sand
So many questions there
My veins fill with wonder
As aspiration strikes the air

So this is how it begins
I feel the breeze on my skin
Oh take a deep breath
I'm alive and braced for impact

Take your doubts
And heave them out the window
How about some confidence in letting go?

What's done is done
And there's no mending it now
I'm moving on so carry on
There is no holding me down

So this is how it begins
I feel the breeze on my skin
Oh take a deep breath
I'm alive and braced for impact

Hush don't say a word
Listen to me
I'll make it there, you'll see
Hush, don't speak a word
Listen to me
I'll make it there

I promise

Don't give up on me
I swear that nothing is hopeless
Don't give up on me

This change is my beginning
I'm ready to start living
And truly value each breath I receive

This passion isn't empty
For now my words have meaning
These tears of joy indicate my release


6.Dreams, Thoughts, Wonder

What to say when you just don't know?
Echoes of voices ring in my head
Amidst all the pressure it seems as though
You've come unraveled, and love's all but dead

Oh, how the tug-of-war rips in my chest
Between you and the girl I used to know
It's as if the cruel hands of time
Are tearing my insides completely apart

But I've invested so much,
That it feels like I'm losing touch
Days of dreaming thought and wonder
Were just that
Dreams, thoughts, wonder

Save your words for me, you coward
You know you are just out for yourself
That's what we've created here, love
We're just the puppets, guided by string

So I'll sit on these stairs
With your ghost in the air
Thinking of the last time I saw your face
And forgive me my love
But your words aren't enough,
To save you, to save this, to save us this time

Don't you tell me it's ending this way
I won't believe it. I won't believe it
Just listen to me this once
Don't you come back here ever again

Save your words
Save your words
I refuse, I refuse to believe them
Save your words
Save your words
I refuse I refuse to believe them
I refuse to believe them


7.Shadows

(Oh there are shadows everywhere
Whispering secrets in my ear)

Everything I thought I knew has just disappeared
And taken my dignity prisoner
Come save me from this so unfamiliar home

Now let's get down
To finding out how this terrible mess was allowed
I mean now!
Let's get down
And piece this together somehow

Oh there are shadows everywhere
Whispering secrets in my ear

It's too much to take
Oh It's making me shake
The flood gates are opening

There's so much at stake
Oh this wall's going to break
It's better that I hide alone

Even though it's contradicting
Just leave me be
Since I never wanted this anyway
These clever shadows have such convincing words

Where do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?
I'm fighting back with my conscience in hand

It's too much to take
Oh It's making me shake
The flood gates are opening

There's so much at stake
Oh this wall's going to break
The flood gates are opening

It's too much to take
Oh it's making me shake
It's better that I hide alone

There's so much at stake
Oh this wall's going to break
'Cause I'm afraid it's way too late to undo this

We'll always know right where you are
And where you call your home
Being followed
Every footstep

You imposters!


8.Mirror, Mirror

In this new found glory
I am boundless
And filling these blank pages
This fervor's burning everywhere
And taking me straight to the top

Someone try and stop me
I'll show you what I'm worth
I've escaped
Wearing the absolute finest armor

Oh ignorance is bliss
I'm floating on broken wings
So carry me, the end is waiting
And take these filthy hands
To heal them and make them clean
This is closure

Don't think you can take my heart and break it
Oh I can't let you steal my pure ambition
I've seen too much of this before
Although I'm young I may know more than you think

I guess I'll make this clear
I've got it right this time around
And tonight we'll drink to love
So let the sun set, close your eyes, and let us sleep
'Cause aren't we all dreamers anyway?

Everybody look, everybody look
All the world is mine
And I'm never letting go
Everybody look everybody look
All the world is mine
And I'm never letting go

Mirror, Mirror on the wall
Who's the finest one of them all?
Mirror, Mirror on the wall
You'd better know that I'm the best of them all


9.The Cure

Motionless, I see the world from here
Innocence, forced into hiding again

All the leaves are suspended in air
As this moment takes shape in the sun
We have the cure
We've been searching for something we've already found
Inside ourselves
We have the cure

Tranquil tongues, showing their dragon's fire
Lovers' hearts, painted black with desire

All the leaves are suspended in air
As this moment takes shape in the sun
We have the cure
We've been searching for something we've already found
Inside ourselves
We have the cure

We are buried
Oblivious to the world
Inside of our own selfish hearts

I'd like to believe we've a better grasp than this
But we're all sightless along this road

And this picture it fades
Why have we been lost?
And the silence, it pulls me into grey

Why have we been lost?
