(Verse 1)
Look at me in the eyes and take your broken lies
And keep the things you say all to yourself
As I cry out for help, but you put me in hell
And where this'll go, no one can tell
And I try to see the best in you, but the best of me is coming through
So live and let die, this time I'm saying goodbye
(Verse 2)
We just met yesterday, but you seem so far away
When you're with me in the room, I'm in love with you
You try to see the best in me and I hope
The best of you doesn't see through to who I really am
(Verse 3)
Now we're having good times, so please stay by my side
With you here the city never looked so bright
Getting closer and closer, there's no need to go for the shot
Don't take it, you know you won't make it
(Verse 4)
Now I don't know you, but you're getting to me
Eight hours together and it suddenly shrinks
You're getting to my deepness, all the ignorant bleakness
And now you know you are my weakness!
(Outro)
Look at me in the eyes and take your broken lies
And keep the things you say all to yourself
As I cry out for help, but you put me in hell
And where this'll go, no one can tell
And I try to see the best in you, but the best of me is coming through
So live and let die and now I'm saying goodbye

(Verse 1)
I am the one whose heart is pure
I am the one who's always too mature
I am the one who's gonna blow a fuse
When everybody's turning a blind eye to
You and your impurities; you, your insecurity
I am not the one who needs to worry about
You and your assurances; you, your false performances
You are not someone who has the right to control my life!
(Verse 2)
I am the one who's got the bad temper
I am the one who's got too contemporary
Ideas coming from my bones
But I am not the one who's living off of getting stoned, it's
You and all you paramours; you, and all your inner wars
I am not the one who needs to worry about
You and all your perfect lies; you, what's in between the lines
You are not someone who has the right to control my life!
(Verse 3)
I am the one who cares too much about you
You are the one who needs to walk in my shoes
All this deception's leaving me no clue
And the one behind it is as always
You and all your vanities; I don't need your charity
You are the one who needs to worry about
Me and all my attitude; I don't need your gratitude
You are not the one who has the right to control my life!
(Bridge)
You are the harlequin
Your little lies will never end
Your perfect life is off the trend
You're living off your ignorance
You'll drown in your own life some day
Or break your own heart another way
You'll think of what was there all along
And then you'll give yourself hell when you hear this song

It Needs a Title

(Verse 1)
Raindrops falling on the window
Creating a deafening roar
And it's been a long time since I've felt this way
The wind is howling, breaking my heart
Over and over again,
But the dim light gets me through the night
Standing above my head
(Chorus)
And tonight I think I'll go to sleep
Before the thoughts of you drift away from me
And the silence brings me to my knees
And I sit there thinking hopelessly
(Verse 2)
And as the music flows through my head
The light turns into a darkening red
And it's been a long time since I've felt this way
Holding the thoughts in my hand
Hoping that they don't turn to sand
They're true, all the things I said to you
(Chorus)
And tonight I think I'll go to sleep
Before the thoughts of you drift away from me
And the silence brings me to my knees
And I sit there thinking hopelessly
(Outro)
And this song's for you
Yeah this song is for the songs I wrote about you
And I'm telling them
Just to let her go

Revelations
04:35

(Verse 1)
Seems I'm always on the run
Sometimes I just look towards the sun
For a guiding light, but then the sun's 92 million miles away
You know it's gonna be tight
Trying to fill this empty space
It's like I'm losing the winner's race
I try to go back to those same old days
But it'll never go back to those same old ways
(Hook)
Making changes is hard, I know
But tell me who's ever made this one before?
(Verse 1 cont.)
Some days I just think I'm done
But look at what has become
If I'm making all the right decisions
Then why do I get all the wrong outcomes?
(Hook)
My head is aching
This time is pulling me apart
(Chorus)
These revelations are changing my life
But nothing seems to change my strife
So keep me from my olden ways
And bring me into the better days
(Verse 2)
Everything I knew is destroyed
I'm starting the new chapter of my story
This endless cycle's going on and on
And now it seems the old me's dead and gone
Taking my time but it doesn't pay off
Maybe I'm getting a little bit too soft
Seems like whenever I reach the top
I hit an all-time low it'll never stop
(Hook)
My head is aching
This time is pulling me apart
(Chorus)
These revelations are changing my life
But nothing seems to change my strife
So keep me from my olden ways
And bring me into the better days
(Bridge)
Trust me not to fall
And I'll trust you not to lie
Why can't you help me decide
To take control of my life?
And I can't see the end this time
Can't see the end of this line
I need something divine
To keep me from these revelations
(Chorus)
(These revelations) are changing my life
But nothing seems to change my strife
So keep me from my olden ways
And bring me into the better days
