Scratch my knees for them but

Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Goes right through ya
When your peace of mind
Is hard to find

You've been here before
You should know the score
It's a bitter price
The sacrifice

I've known better days
I've known better ways
But it just don't count.

You're gonna get it good
I'll give it to ya
You're gonna give it good
I'll give it good
You're gonna give it good
I'll give it to ya
You're gonna give it good
Like you should

Payback's a bitch
And you let her in
You gave her all my suffering
No win or loose
Only an end
So I'm giving up
I'm not giving in.

Hallelujah
I thought I knew ya
I don't need this space
I need the change

Payback's a bitch
And you let her in
You gave her all my suffering
No win or loose
Only an end
So I'm giving up
I'm not giving in... I'm not giving in....

And payback's a bitch
And you let her in
You gave her all my suffering
No win or loose
Only an end
So I'm giving up...
I'm not giving in... I'm not giving in....

Getting Off

I'm a little too embarrassed to admit it
But a little loud to not
I keep telling everybody that I'm giving
But what I'm really doing's getting off

Getting off this boat cause the waters keep rising
And hearts keep sinking fast.
Getting off this boat cause you can't save me
And I'm not prepared to ask.

But if I just pick my battles better baby
If I just pick me up from them
If I just pick my battles better baby
I'll stop hurting then.

I'm a little too embarrassed to admit it
But a little to proud to not
I keep telling everybody that I'm quitting
But what I'm really doing's getting off

Getting off this boat cause the waters keep rising
And I keep crashing in
Getting off this boat cause the waves keep thrashing
And I just can't seem to swim

But if I just pick my battles better baby
If I just pick me up from them
If I just pick my battles better baby
I'll stop hurting then

Keep holding on cause I'm right there
Your picture's close
The lessons hurt and you scream and shout
But you're not alone
And you really matter
Really rather
Not let go.

If I just pick my battles better baby
I'll stop hurting then.
But if I just pick my battles better baby
If I just pick me up from them
If I just pick my battles better baby
I'll stop hurting then.
If I just pick my battles better baby
Cause time keeps turning.

15 Years

15 years
F*cked you for 5
Why can't you even say
hi, hi, hi
When you walk...
By myself
It's all my fault
Sick of this chatter, sick of your talk, so I
hide hide hide from bye-bye

Bye- bye...
Three letters hurt so much
One word releases the clutch
Bye Bye.

15 years loved you for 5
ooh they say love is
blind blind blind
but I see just fine when the lights go down on me
Just fine is all I need to be
So I sigh sigh silence bye bye.

Bye bye...
Three letters hold such gravity
One word give you clarity
Bye bye...

The worst has gotten the best of me
And it happens so damn easily
And I drop down to my knees till your return
And if this is the way that we find our peace
By breaking the parts that we once gave me
Then the only way to feel free is hurt

15 years
held you for 5
why did we even
try try try
time after time
when you broke I broke we held
we kissed we mended start over again I'll
hide hide hide
from
bye bye

ALSO KNOWN AS

I'm here to plant a flag
I'm here to make a mark
I'm here to piece together
What you tore apart
I'm here because I'm good
And your not because you not.
Crossed more than a line.
Tried to not get caught.

When you say awesome I say mediocre
When you say strong I say weak
When you say something you think you'd mean it
But you don't mean anything
Fists up, guard down, I'm ready to fight
But you're not worth it.

Looked me in the eye
And you lied to all my friends
You didn't have the decency
You didn't' understand
You need use your head
And pick on someone else
Write a pretty love song
Wear something that sells

When you say awesome I say mediocre
When you say strong I say weak
When you say something I think you'd mean it
But you don't mean anything
Fists up, guard down, I'm ready to fight
But you're not worth it.
You're worthless....

So Far Apart

We've grown so far apart
You've picked a fine time to leave me
I'm all out of trust.
It'll crush you believe me
If need be deceive me.
I'm lost in a haze
It's taken time to see that we think in different ways

A thousand days never tore us apart
Gotta proceed with caution
I'm lost in the dark
Every time I think of you
I shutter I wonder
What could've might've been
We'll never discover

Imagine a life, lived here without you
Days die, night's pass, I still think about you
Imagine a world, with one of us gone
It isn't easy to say but, it's gonna take long.

It wasn't easy for me.
I've gotta be a man now
If you understood me then,
You'd understand me now
But it was never about that.
It was only without that
It was living without me that made you see

So imagine a life, lived here without you
Days die, night's pass, I still think about you
Imagine a world, with one of us gone
It isn't easy to say but, its gonna take long.

Your mystery was all in your touch
You knew my history, and we both got crushed
So while your sitting here waiting for your colorful day
I'll watch mine pale in comparison with 12 shades of grey.

Imagine a life, lived here without you
Days die, night's pass, I still think about you
Imagine a world, with one of us gone
Its 12 shades of grey and 12 days too long.
Imagine a life, lived here without you
Days die, night's pass, I still think about you
Imagine a world, with one of us gone
It isn't easy to say but, its gonna take long.

Young Love

Young Love
It keeps you up
It hardens the heart from the start
Young love
It's all the rage until you've tried it.

My tongue
Says things I need to say
Things you need to hear
Things I'll just swallow away
My tongue's kind of tired.

Your nine to five ain't my ideal
Go team
Go f*ck yourself
I'm not pretty in the morning
But I clean up nice

Your nine to five ain't my ideal
Go team
Don't trust yourself
I'm not pretty in the morning
But I clean up nice
It's my life.

Your thoughts are broken words
Your heart is hurt hurt her fault
Have you been abandoned baby

My plans don't involve 2.5
A picket fence.
No, none of that nonsense
I'm not judging your jury, maybe

Your nine to five ain't my ideal
Go team
Go f*ck yourself
I'm not pretty in the morning
But I clean up nice

Your nine to five ain't my ideal
Go team
Don't trust yourself
I'm not pretty in the morning
But I clean up nice.
It's my life....

Spin

Spin
Won't you spin here with me
I regret to inform you
I'm going to adore you
Yeah spin.
And release
Just say please
I'll give you the power
Just orphan an hour
Yeah spin

You're... you're not alone
It's killing me that I'm the only one there
It's killing me that I know none of your friends
And they never say anything good about your girl.

And you risk
Would you risk it for bliss?
We'll be day drunks by noon
We'll meet at the saloon and we'll risk

You're... You're not alone....

You feed like a fiend
You feed off of me
You feed on my breath
Though I haven't much left
You feed like a fiend on me

You're... you're not alone

It's killing me that I'm the only one there
It's killing me that I know none of your friends
And they never say anything good.

It's killing me that I'm the only one there
It's killing me that I know none of your friends
And they never say anything good about your girl.

Afraid

If love is blind then why do I see you
I see you in everything I do
If love takes time then why am I rushing it
Your sweeping up the mess I got in

All you say brings me back again
No questions, nothing to defend
All this change, has me loosing ground
But in your arms I'm safe and sound

You loved me when the industry was cold
You loved me when I had someone else to hold
You loved me every second, every day, but I was afraid
I was afraid.

If love is kind then why am I bleeding through
Bleeding through everything I do
If love is mind then why am I loosing you
You strung the wrong girl out to dry

Don't dig down, don't hurt yourself
I'll do it, do without your help
Do reach out, don't push me back
And keep you empty promises

You loved me when the industry was cold
You loved me when I had someone else to hold
You loved me every second, every day, but I was afraid

I'd crawl... I'd crawl

I would've painted my nails for you
Dawned a veil for you
But everything I do is wrong
I'm loosing all control
I'm down on all fours be strong, strong.

But you loved me when the industry was cold
You loved me when I had someone else to hold
You loved me every second, every day, but I was afraid
I was afraid.

Faultline

My misery, don't need your company
Don't need anything from this.
My pedigree don't come from money
And I don't have time to talk sh*t

So its all my fault
It's all my fault
Guess my fault forgot to give
How's it all my fault
All my fault
When I just forgot to leave... you

My jealously got the best of me
Pity please don't change a thing
Your apathy is the saddest thing
And it's made me something mean

My enemy don't want anything
Everything has lost its sheen
My sympathy has killed your memory
Can I honestly forgive

Its all my fault
It's all my fault
Guess my fault forgot to give
How's it all my fault
All my fault
When I just forgot to live.

I'm on the wrong side
Of the faultline
But I tried
For you.

Code Red

He was right, she was wrong
But they made a strong bond.
Caught the wrong train at the right time,
The planets must've been aligned
He was right, she was wrong
But they made a strong bond.

Noon arrives, he complies
Reality never looked so good in a tie
You said we'd win, was a draw
But I don't need your visuals at all

You keep distorting things that I never said
You taking liberties with all I gave into your

Code red
Cold sign
The cold feeling I had for the while
It was fun, when it was only one on one
Why don't you run away
Cause I'm not going to cave.
I gave you up, your bringing me down.
You're bringing me down, you're bringing me down now.

Take a seat
window view
What's it feel like to always choose
To be brave
Cause I miss you more than I would ever say
Anything
Fill the air, fill these parts that just don't care

But I miss your...
Code red
Cold sign
The cold feeling I had for the while
It was fun, when it was only one on one
Why don't you run away
Cause I'm not going to cave.

And I miss your
Code red
Cold sign
The cold feeling I had for the while
It was fun, when it was only one on one
Why don't you run away
Cause I'm not going to cave.
I gave you up, your bringing me down.
You're bringing me down, you're bringing me down now.

Lifted

The Weight of the world
Lifted by a girl
Lifted by fate
Love don't hate me
I tried my past
It kicked me in the ass
Kicked me to the curb
Do I deserve to...

Hold on
To Providence
To circumstance,
To how you danced in the hall
I gave you my all
Farewell
To letting go
And taking things really slow
I Thought you should know.

My crew is better than anything
I've ever had in you
Is that what we do it for what?
Paper cuts, throwing up
And butterflies in my gut
Are you strong enough?

To hold on
To Providence,
To circumstance
To how you danced in the hall
I gave you my all
Farewell to letting go
And taking things really slow
I thought you should know
I've been brave
I've made mistakes
But I'm comfortable,
And wonderful
Steps that I take may be small but their weighed
In the ground I found

Hold on
To Providence,
To circumstance
To how you danced in the hall
I gave you my all
Farewell to letting go and taking things really slow...
Don't let me go
Hold on
To everything and anything
I ever had in YOU...
Is that what we do it for what
Paper cuts, growing up,
I think I've had enough,
Thought you should know

Smoke & Mirrors

Either you forgive me or you don't
Cause I can't defend
What you won't
Let go of
I'm possibilities for no one
And you can bring me round
Bring me down.

When the dust begins to settle
And the steel has bent the metal
I'll be here
When the day define the night
And darkness wins the fight
I'll be here
When the smoke and mirrors clear

Either you believe me or you don't
Cause I can pretend
But I won't fight it
I'm loosing everything for trying
And you can bring me round
You bring me down

When the dust begins to settle
And the steel has bent the metal
I'll be here
When the day define the night
And darkness wins the fight
I'll be here
When the needle hits the ground
When my heart don't make a sound
When the running round brings me back to you
When the words no longer write
When my hands no longer fight
When there's nothing else to do
But loose.

Hold on if you want to
Let go if you need
please don't land
In the in between

I said hold on if you want to
Let go if you need
But please don't stand in between

Cause when the dust begins to settle
And the steel has bent the metal
I'll be here
When the day define the night
And darkness wins the fight
I'll be here
When the smoke and mirrors clear

Find Love

I've finally forgotten
I've put down my sword
I've come to accept that
This weight wasn't mine
It was yours
I've got no illusions
I've cut through this chord
Got no more addictions
See these veins can't endure that much more.

But when you can find love
If you can find love
If you can find love
Then you forget everything

Everything you ever said
Every word that hung over my little head
Every moment we spent
Hold your breath, count to ten
Start again, start again

And when you can find love
If you can find love
If you can find love
Then you forget everything
Hold your breath, count to ten
Start again, start again...
