1.Cities By The Sea
We are runaways, we're on the escape＊
We don't give a damn about the things that you say.
We've all risked a lot, we've risked our lives and our loves
Sing your children lullabies because there's gonna be a flood.
Recently I have foreseen a vision of a world
Where freedom is a dirty word and constitutions burn
If this is all a test, I hope God's up there having fun
Sing your children lullabies because there's gonna be a flood.
(Rain Rain Down. Rain Rain Down.)
So take to the highest roof top, save only what you can
If the doors break in, then all our sins will be washed away
again.
(Rain Rain Down. Rain Rain Down.)
After all, they think we're better for this.
Maybe tomorrow we can burn the forests down？
Things have always been this way and I believe
That we will bring us to our knees.
Of all the dreams you ever had when you were just a kid
In anywhere but nightmares did things ever end like this？
If I could have one wish, I'd tear the stars out of the sky
To re-ignite our hearts and see the fire in our eyes
There's a storm on the horizon, I can feel it in my bones
Sing your children lullabies so they won't feel so alone
(Rain Rain Down. Rain Rain Down.)
After all, they think we're better for this.
Maybe tomorrow we can burn the forests down？
If we carry on this way then I believe
That we will bring us to our knees.
We are nothing but a cancer on this earth
Abandoned here all alone to define our worth
If it exists at all, I don't know why I'm here
The only thing that matters now are those that I hold dear.
We fell in love with a dying culture like circling vultures
We fell in love with the lies.
If you believe that a life worth living is more than make
believe
The war is far from lost.
We have to seek the truth at any cost.
2.Like History
You're a bad man. Heaven sent man＊
You're the 'I don't think I can' man.
It's time to open up your eyes and see
that every thing you touch turns golden
Everything we are is broken.
It's time you open up your mind and dream.
Because we were wrong, but we didn't mean harm.
We just don't care.
And so it goes, like history.
We'll just burn this town and wash our red hands in the sea.
They'll never really know just how far we will go.
So don't you dare man. You weren't there man.
Don't you ever tell me I don't care man.
Everything you know about me is wrong.
We all make mistakes based on the risks we take.
You'll never know who you are until you walk away
Every now and then I see your face in the sun.
And so it goes, like history.
We'll just burn this town and wash our red hands in the sea.
They'll never really know just how far we will go.
And if the Earth should fail and fall,
will it break our hearts or will we care at all？
They'll never really know just how far we will go.
So you're out on your own now, and you've got nothing to say.
You gotta get up off the ground now or things will always be
this way.
So you think you're a man now, you better learn how to pray.
You gotta get out while you can now cuz things will always be
this way.
3.Circling Vultures
We are runaways, we're on the escape＊

We've all risked a lot, we've risked our lives and our loves
Sing your children lullabies because there's gonna be a flood.

4.Fairytales
She never thought that her life could be anything that you'd see
in a movie＊
That's until the day that this girl met me.
He never thought that he'd live to see anything that resembled a
fantasy
That's until he slipped into a dream.
You told me that you would change the world
But what's the use if you can't even save this girl？
We all break hearts. We all play our parts.
She never thought in a million years anything could bring her to
tears.
That's the way she's been since she was born.
He always thought he would pull through, needed her more than he
ever knew.
Now he walks the streets alone each night cursing at the moon.
I'm not asking for the world.
I'd expect this from anyone but you.
If you can't tell me that we'll be safe,
then I don't know what else I can say
But I miss you.
I told me that you would change the world
But what's the use if I can't even change myself？
Now I know we all break hearts. And we all play our parts.
5.Strangers
They never told us what we wanted＊
They never told us what we'd need
They only taught us how to read and write
Then they taught us how to bleed.
You always told me not to argue
You always told me to believe
That everything in life would work out fine
That God would give us what we need.
So why do I feel like I'm losing control？
I can't believe in anyone but you
I've tried and I've tried, but I can't deny everything you said
was true.
I'm drawing my line in the sand.
Because i can't ignore my heart anymore
Stop fooling yourself. Cuz one day you'll be a stranger to
everyone else.
They never told us how to deal with heartbreak
Or the days our lives will change.
Hell, everything I've ever learned in life, I learned it by
mistake.
When will these memories end, and when will my life begin？
I'm starting to feel left out.
6.Hey Little Girl
Hey there little girl, I see you crying over there all alone＊
Right in the middle of a great big war,
And not so sure of which direction you should go.
All your life you never needed nobody else, you'd rather bare
the weight
Well hey there little girl, stand up straight.
At 23 you moved away from your family and your home
Hoping you'd find the man who'd take your little hand
And all your feelings of being alone.
But as it goes, someone took your love for granted.
What happened to the magic you've dreamed of since you were
young？
There are some things in this life we'll never know
There are places in our hearts we shouldn't go.
You have to let this go.
I want to believe that the reason you're leaving
Has nothing to do with me, cuz I tried.
But if you ever lose your faith in me,
Don't give up on the world, you'll find better than me.
I have to believe that the reasons you're walking away are your
own
And this will make sense one day.
If you ever lose your faith in me,
Don't give up on the world, you'll find better.
So here we are, right back where we started
Right back where you've been before.
In the middle of a war and not so sure
If everything you've been told is a lie？
What is the meaning of life？
And where do we go when we die？
Hey there little girl, you're sitting on top of there world like
you knew you'd always be
But how are you gonna feel when that very world decides you've
out-welcomed your stay？
