It's weighing down on me,
this lonesome burden that's so heavy.
They say keep going, and it'll pay off,
but these bones are wearing thin from all that it's cost.
Along the way, your shoulders tend to break
when you constantly reach and try to make
something out of nothing at all;
better to sit and wait
to hear the call
Now I'll end all of my time spent left alone.
I'll make up the good life as I go,
'cause running to hide has made me
oh so weary.
Waste the fear, just go; forge ahead, try to stay low.
The Enemy is me, and I don't want to be him anymore.
Now I find myself in a familiar place,
wandering the lines that seemed drawn by fate.
I don't know where I'm headed,
or how to begin,
but a shot in the dark's better than none in the end.
So I'll face these problems that lie ahead,
staring in the mirror to see if the answers reflect.
You know for every king there's a holiday,
but to wear the crown, you've gotta catch a break someday
Now I'll end all of my time spent left alone.
I'll make up the good life as I go,
'cause running to hide has made me
oh so weary.
Waste the fear, just go; forge ahead, try to stay low.
The Enemy is me, and I don't want to be him anymore.
Oh, round and round, stuck in a vacant town;
spinning into the depths, as it burns to the ground.
Try to leave it behind, but every time,
the flames start to rise when it's cold inside.
I wanna scream so loudly--force it from my chest--
And I bleed so proudly, that's what I do best.
One day I'm gonna rise up from these ashes, flying high, and finally free.
When I'll end all of my time spent left alone.
I'll make up the good life as I go,
'cause running to hide has made me
oh so weary.
Waste the fear, just go; forge ahead, try to stay low.
The Enemy is me, and I don't want to be him anymore.

String Me Along

It's funny, so funny
that I see you
whenever, I wanna,
I wanna feel you're through
with all of the heartache
that you keep me in
while you're still pretending that
I'm not there...
'Cause that's how it begins,
wish I was better
at making amends
and staying together.
But as we both know, I just won't ever
be able to
Make things right....
So String Me Along
this thread I'm hanging onto.
So what if I realize
You just don't care?
Frayed now, apt to break;
but it's all just my mistake
to keep believing you'll come around
and never turn your heart the other way...
Now I'm running, still running
Still running toward you.
Even though I should know,
should know a thing or two
about how my luck goes,
because without you
I've started pretending that
I'm not there...
So String Me Along
this thread I'm hanging onto.
So what if I realize
You just don't care?
Frayed now, apt to break;
but it's all just my mistake
to keep believing you'll come around
and never turn your heart the other way...
Tell me now, what did I do
to make your soul so cold and cruel?
This meager opposition
I play in grand tradition,
hoping now, it's not too late,,,
Well String Me Along...
String Me Along....
Frayed now, apt to break;
but it's all just my mistake
to keep believing you'll come around
and never turn your heart
the other way...

The Dive
04:12

The floors are creaking, and the ceiling's leaking;
people stick together in the darkest corners of the room.
I know I can't be
the One they all came to see,
but here I go
along with it again
I've been lost and working on borrowed time
It seems there's only one
way the night can go.
When it's all my fault
to never learn the lessons
I was taught,
I'll raise my head again
one more time
for you
Now there was a wall where
I've been playing on,
and the Shadows, they all call out for something
they can sing along to.
But I don't see me
ever breathing a word
I don't believe in and I'm
so Far Gone
So Far Gone
I've been lost and working on borrowed time
It seems there's only one
way the night can go.
When it's all my fault
to never learn the lessons
I was taught,
I'll raise my head again
one more time
for you

Reilly's Charge
03:11
|

I wander alone, playing hero for those
forgotten, frightened souls
nobody chose.
With the wind at my back,
I'll aim straight for the attack
that's coming fast--
Way too fast...
I am the sole voice of reason
in these days of treason,
And I'm no stranger to that.
Just fighting for the Cause,
"Survive At Any Cost,"
and try, try, try to keep hope alive
I push, push, push,
turn the truth around;
make everybody see
what can't be found.
As I walk this land
of godforsaken Man
conscience starts to thin,
but the Beacon never dims...
I am the sole voice of reason
in these days of treason,
And I'm no stranger to that.
Just fighting for the Cause,
"Survive At Any Cost,"
and try, try, try to keep hope alive

Keep Dancing

You were in your
blue dress and cowgirl boots,
stomping in time through to my heart
as we stood just crowds apart.
I was
falling hard with nothing to lose,
and then you gave me something to prove
when you stole my breath away,
leaving me with nothing else to say
I tried to
write a folk song to make you love me
but I couldn't get past the words.
Because darling, all the sweet little nothings
don't mean a thing if they're never heard.
So I'll
take another drink,
a round of courage instead of bitter defeat,
and I'll pray you're thinking of me
as you keep
dancing on
Now there's
only one thing missing
in this tale I'm trying to weave.
'Cause every story with a happy ending,
deserves a good beginning at least.
We could be like Johnny and June--
You and Me, Me and You--
if only I could say my piece,
and tell you my love is true
I tried to
write a folk song to make you love me
but I couldn't get past the words.
Because darling, all the sweet little nothings
don't mean a thing if they're never heard.
So I'll
take another drink,
a round of courage instead of bitter defeat,
and I'll pray you're thinking of me
as you keep
dancing on

Countdown

The time is late; The Hour dawns...
Seems we're just a minute away.
I try to escape, but it goes on and on,
as the fire comes to claim
you and me...
You and Me
Give me one embrace,
a single memory,
a call to arms.
Is anybody listening?
As we burn away
our souls still live to save,
fighting the war we bring,
by forgetting everything
On the horizon now,
the sirens wail and shout.
But in all the rage,
the fear cannot erase
the Spark that starts inside my heart
and burns beneath.
'Cause now it's time
to draw the line.
Make a stand; stake a claim
for you and me...
You and Me
Give me one embrace,
a single memory,
a call to arms.
Is anybody listening?
As we burn away
our souls still live to save,
fighting the war we bring,
by forgetting everything
And maybe today's our time,
or maybe we're just flying blind.
An instant makes the difference,
but who keeps score?
Scream out your plight;
their damning smirk will be our light,
covered by a simple "No," to the ones
who can't let go...
Give me one embrace,
a single memory,
a call to arms.
Is anybody listening?
As we burn away
our souls still live to save,
fighting the war we bring,
by forgetting everything
Give me one embrace,
Give me one embrace,
As we burn away
our souls still live to save,
fighting the war we bring,
by forgetting everything

Endgame

Came to a realization today,
profound and true,
and just like every other one I'm going to
keep it to myself.
A secret? No, that's over and done,
'cause I'm too old now
to let this become
the Thorn that never leaves my side.
Instead, I'll bury it
Once I Let It Die
In the space between the windows and doors
where inspiration lurks below the dirty floors,
but digging deep to find the cure
is just no good when it's killed me before
So, I'll learn to live on an empty spirit;
you save the kind word for someone who'll hear it
Since I'll miss the world turning anyway,
leave me behind in the
Forgotten Today...
I'm giving nothing; I'm sure that's what you want.
After all, seems that you've went and gone
to someone else, while you led me to believe
the best in all I thought of you.
Surprise, surprise--it all fell through.
Down, down, down, and I went too
along for the ride, I couldn't resist
adding a new ideal
To The Growing List
In the space between the windows and doors
where inspiration lurks below the dirty floors,
but digging deep to find the cure
is just no good when it's killed me before
So, I'll learn to live on an empty spirit;
you save the kind word for someone who'll hear it
Since I'll miss the world turning anyway,
leave me behind in the
Forgotten Today...
Tell me why it had to be you?
You were the one who was supposed to save me from myself.
Though, I see now that you're with him,
"You and I" can never begin.
But that's ok; I'll be all right
'cause it's safe in here
where I'm locked in tight...
In the space between the windows and doors
where inspiration lurks below the dirty floors,
but digging deep to find the cure
is just no good when it's killed me before
So, I'll learn to live on an empty spirit;
you save the kind word for someone who'll hear it
Since I'll miss the world turning anyway,
leave me behind in the
Forgotten Today...
