So Far Gone

All in all I told you how I felt
But you refused my help
All I did was try to help, but you don’t want it, said “Go to Hell”
Why am I still here?
Your demons are so complicated, I disagree, You overrate them
But you will bend them to your will.
You stand real tall to justify, you tell a joke, you spout a lie
But you are so far gone
And when the light it shows it’s bright, the rest is up to you
For you to do your part
You wept because you’ve had no rest
You’re so excited, you’ve become obsessed
Look at what you’ve done!
So desperate to have found some answers
It eats at you just like a cancer
Giving into fear
You’re terrified but you won’t hide
You’re standing in your tears
Why am I still here?!?
Because you don’t know who you are
What you want or what you need
I’ve given you every chance
but you just walked on me
Today…
Today…
Today…
Today it’s over!
And when you’ve placed yourself before the rest
I’m sure you did your best
To justify the things you said
The thoughts you had inside your head
Why are you still here
I can’t begin to sympathize
When you stare with confused eyes
I’m angry with fear
You stand real tall to justify, you tell a joke, you spout a lie
But you are so far gone
And when the light it shows it’s bright, the rest is up to you
For you to do your part

Come With Me

I used to whisper countless love songs
And I thought that was enough
Boy was I wrong
To think love could be won with song
I’ll try again, here goes
Come with me
We’ll do this together
Forever
I’ll stay here
But I won’t wait here forever
I used to contemplate progressions
That I though that you would hear
Girl, where were you?
I know you have these feelings too
Don’t be afraid, here goes.
Come with me
We’ll do this together
Forever
I’ll stay here
But I won’t wait here forever
I’ll stay here
But I won’t wait here forever

Where I Wanna Be

Upon arrival you don’t know what to think
You cannot run, or hide, or lie… your basic instincts
So you sing to him, la da da da da
And he secretly likes what you’ve become
Upon departure you started to think
why would I run, or hide, or lie… you started to sink
You sang to yourself… la da da da da
and you secretly like what you’ve become
As days went by things started to change
Your change of heart and attitude, he started to praise
And he thought to himself “This is where I wanna be”
As you thought to yourself it would end eventually

Every Time
02:25

|
Every time I stare through night
Every time you say goodbye
I grow further from you
I grow further from you
I grow further
Every time we part goodnight
Oh that twinkle in your eye
Has moved from it’s place
It’s moved from it’s place
You know it’s over now
And you know it’s over now
The ship has sailed
I tried but we failed
Over time

Leave In Silence
04:25
|

|
I’ve told myself so many times before
But this time I think I mean it for sure
We have reached a full stop
Nothing’s going to save us from the big drop
Reached our natural conclusion
Outlived the illusion
I hate being in these situations
That call for diplomatic relations
If I only knew the answer
Or I thought we had a chance
Or I could stop this
I would stop this thing
From spreading like a cancer
What can I say
I don’t want to play anymore
What can I say
I’m heading for the door
I can’t stand this emotional violence
Leave in silence
Leave in silence
We’ve been running around in circles all year
Doing this and that and getting nowhere
This will be the last time
I think I said that last time
If I only had a potion
Some magical lotion
That could stop this
I would set the wheels in motion

Fly
03:34
|

|
I feel the desperate need to feel the warmth beneath my feet
It’s been away for so long
The things you want, the things you said
The things that are inside your head
They don’t match up
But I don’t have to fly
If I don’t feel the need
And you can’t make me fly if you won’t even try
You’re going on to me about the things that can’t be seen
You’ve been away for so long
The things you want, the things you said
The things that are inside your head
They don’t match up
Reprise:
You won’t fly.
I’ve asked you 1000 times
If you don’t have the time
If you don’t care to try
The time’s not mine!
