First 03:51
A girl so mad her eyes could kill A hurt so bad it feeds her will She walks through windows Sees through doors She'll always tell you what you ignore I've seen the light that points to fame I know someday the world will know her name, know her name The world will know her name She's so empty it hurts When's she gonna get When's she gonna get to be first When's she gonna get When's she gonna get to be first A girl so sad her heart was still The love she had won't be fulfilled She stares at moonbeams in the sky She's always asking the question why I've seen her light the burning flame I know someday the world will know her name, know her name The world will know her name She's so empty it hurts When's she gonna get When's she gonna get to be first When's she gonna get When's she gonna get to be first

Breakdown 04:03
When you see me will you break down Tell me why you had to leave town Tell me why you had to beat down Every single hope When you see me will you walk by Leave me hanging by the sublime Like an undelivered punchline To a stupid joke Maybe sometime you'll say Why you had to go away Away... from me When I see you will I swallow Every feeling that I had so I can smile at you say hello Felling like a dope Maybe sometime you'll say Why you had to go away away... from me Does your love lie Under sea Could it be mine To retrieve When I see you will I know why There's no chance for us to rewind Fix the gears that pushed us through life Now that they are broke

When you’re your own hero No one else can put you down Or call you a zero Lay your truth beneath the ground When your own When you’re your own hero The best thing around When you’re your own hero No one else can spit on you Or drag you down below Make you feel Like you're a fool When your own When you’re your own hero The best thing around
4.
The lights are off but I'm still here Picking out a melody Some forgot or never new What it means to be a song Everyone please sing along Sing along with me Can't kill the sound The gig is up and now it's clear That no machine can strum a heart The gloves are off the end is near For all the thieves who stole our song Everyone please sing along Sing along with me Can't kill the sound The lights are on but no one's here Except for me and my new song Everyone please sing along Sing along with me Can't kill the sound

Fall 4 Love 03:20
I know you're blind To me and my proposition I'm sure you'll find That I have wonderful vision The next time you fall 4 love I know your kind I've seen the place that you crawl from I hope you climb So I can be the one you fall on The next time you fall 4 love
6.
Doomed 03:13
We’re doomed To cry another day And wear the color grey Dressed in our dismay We’re doomed To live our lives on pause And suffer for the cause Endure the sharklike jaws We’re doomed To love ourselves no more Become what we abhor We lick the dirty floor We’re doomed To always be apart We’re really not that smart Deep inside the heart
7.
Needles 03:45
We are all perfect in our imperfection Like and invention throwing sparks There is soul magic in our misdirection Did I mention it's an art When things they fall apart Be careful with your words They often land like needles in my hands So I can't hold you Still I am like fire when I hear objections Your corrections piercing darts You may not notice when I feel the tension Crave redemption from the start When things they fall apart Be careful with your words They often fly like needles in my eyes So I can't see you Still Be careful with your words They often land like needles in my hands So I can't hold you Be careful with your words They often fly like needles in my eyes So I can't see you Be careful with your words They feel so sharp like needles in my heart Because I love you Still
8.
Kiss to Kill 02:44
Your lips are like The barrel of a gun Point them gently With your loaded tongue Shoot away The vultures in my heart Before they eat me Blow them all apart With a Kiss to kill the pain Take me over With your loving skill Fight the battle That I no longer will It’s ok To hold me in your arms When I’m weaker Sounding the alarm With a Kiss to kill the pain
9.
Phone Me 04:13
I can see you from the other side Count how many times I know you died In the night With the light off Drunken rages throw you on the flow I know I can help you through the door If you like we can take off If you wanna run away phone me I can see the choices you have made The fucked up things you've done to kill the pain All the lies you have played off Broken though you are it's you I love The way you fall apart the way you're tough If you like we can take off If you wanna run away phone me I just wanna say that You can always choose If you wanna run away phone me
10.
You can feel high but heavy inside When everything’s terrible wonderful x 2 You can feel old but young when you know That everything’s terrible wonderful x 2 It can feel pure but hard to endure When everything’s terrible wonderful x 2 Empty or full you’re feelin’ the pull When everything’s terrible wonderful x 2 Like it or not you’re all that you’ve got When everything’s terrible wonderful x 2 Have you grown up to be your own worst enemy Can you own anything without feeling greed Will you ever believe that there’s nothing to believe Everything that you’ve seen is all just a dream
11.
Unique 03:51
Rage against the odds Find someone who’ll listen Everything is God Treasure what you’re given How unique Are we all As we seek ourselves and our souls Tear yourself apart Find out what you’re missing Look inside the heart All will be forgiven How unique Are we all As we seek ourselves and our souls When all the tears run dry A broken heart will revive And see that beauty hides In every shape, color, size A mother’s song, a butterfly that holds us up until the day we die How unique Are we all As we seek ourselves and our souls
