if you ever even knew me
you'd find no trouble to believe
that i'm a fool, i'm a fake,
i'm the only soul in the story of me
i can't stop
i won't
as long as i'm driving alone
this road is all i'll know
move me
take me down
use me
take my crown
when the wind is fighting my direction
i tend to push right through it
so bring on the hurricance
bring on the rain, just do it
stop this man
remove me
this mess is mine alone
cast me into the sea

the high center of the world
i don't need this
i don't like the way it is
the change that brought us here
has changed the way we feel
you can keep this
i'll be fine without your time
what you've wasted of yourself
is what i won't let go of now
i remember when we used to love like it was in
and our sins were little things that were easy to forgive
now our lies are adding up while we refuse to give them up
and a hurting heart can heal itself, our help is simply not enough
our voice is fading
our chords are echoes in a box
the sound would travel all the miles
but the sound just bounces off the wall
we keep shaking
a backbone without a spine
we slither while we walk
and talk like we're always feeling fine
i don't like the way it is
the change that brought us here
has changed the way we feel
you can keep this
i'll be fine without your time
what you've wasted of yourself
is what i won't let go of now
i remember when we used to love like it was in
and our sins were little things that were easy to forgive
now our lies are adding up while we refuse to give them up
and a hurting heart can heal itself, our help is simply not enough
our voice is fading
our chords are echoes in a box
the sound would travel all the miles
but the sound just bounces off the wall
we keep shaking
a backbone without a spine
we slither while we walk
and talk like we're always feeling fine

new days
my dreams are keeping me from sleep
behind my eyes hide all that is me
all that i'd rather leave
deep inside i keep a list of things to do
a list of rights, wrongs
and the list of what i've done to you
like a child i hide from the night
under my sheets with a dead flashlight
but i know i'm okay
you tell me i'm alright
tonight i'm yours
you've got me in the arms
that held me from the start
i can rest, i can sleep
i am yours
since the day that everything began
we've wanted more than we can
we get the floor but not the dance
we wingless beings seem so eager to fly
if we learned, we'd leave ground
and lose love for the sky
maybe it's okay to be this stable
we're nowhere but we're safe
we're not okay
please make us okay
may our living be of life
and our death be just a lie
let us shine forever
let us shine
we were covered all along
you never let us go
let us shine lord
let us shine
behind my eyes hide all that is me
all that i'd rather leave
deep inside i keep a list of things to do
a list of rights, wrongs
and the list of what i've done to you
like a child i hide from the night
under my sheets with a dead flashlight
but i know i'm okay
you tell me i'm alright
tonight i'm yours
you've got me in the arms
that held me from the start
i can rest, i can sleep
i am yours
since the day that everything began
we've wanted more than we can
we get the floor but not the dance
we wingless beings seem so eager to fly
if we learned, we'd leave ground
and lose love for the sky
maybe it's okay to be this stable
we're nowhere but we're safe
we're not okay
please make us okay
may our living be of life
and our death be just a lie
let us shine forever
let us shine
we were covered all along
you never let us go
let us shine lord
let us shine
