Okay

Walking the straight line is easy
Chin up, eyes front, feet on the solid ground
Okay
Broken in two beneath me
Paralyzed, I can’t stop looking down
Okay
It’s okay
I’m not okay
I try to be okay

Don't Wake Up
03:20
|
|||
Eyes open wide, nobody speaks
My mind is numb, my body’s weak
What could I say? What a shame
It’s not too soon to be too late
You never think today’s the day
You’ll put your heart into a grave
Wasted time… can’t deny
It’s not too soon to be too late
Don’t wake up, keep sleeping
I hope that you hear you me
I will bury all the pain somewhere far away
And try to be okay
You turned the future inside-out
I only trusted all my doubts
All the same, I remain
It’s not too soon to be too late
Today’s the day
I put my heart into a grave
Wasted time… won’t deny
It’s not too soon to be too late
Don’t wake up, keep sleeping
I hope that you hear you me
I will bury all the pain somewhere far away
And try to be okay
I know that it’s too late
I watched you slip away
I was wrong to wait
I hope you hear me say
Don’t wake up
Don’t wake up

Downhill
03:20
|

We all know why you’re on the throne as the cannibal king
Don’t turn your back, the jokers and jacks all want the same thing
And it’s all downhill from here
It’s all downhill from here
Stack the deck so you win the game
No place to hide when they call your name
We all know and we don’t forget
We all know there’s one sure bet
It’s all downhill from here
It’s all downhill from here
Tip the scales with the weight of the truth, yeah
Heads will roll and they’ll start with you
It’s all downhill from here
It’s all downhill from here
Tip the scales with the weight of the truth, yeah
Heads will roll and they’ll start with you
It’s all downhill from here
It’s all downhill from here
Yeah, we all know that heads will roll
Yeah, we all know heads will roll
Yeah, heads will roll

Red Line City
04:21
|

It doesn’t matter if you tip-toe, go slow
When you end up on a landmine, honey
You never made it to the big show, oh no
A big joke that you never found funny
Oh no, oh no, oh no
They all look at you the same way, don’t they?
You could have been any of the others
Automatically, they say, “no way”
No way through the red line cutters
You never thought it would end here
But don’t you always end up here?
You thought you could almost be… almost be something
You’d almost be something here
You come around looking down, such a pity
How can you be sad looking so pretty?
Into the trap, we all come, get stung
Bled white in the red line city
You thought you could almost be… almost be something
You’d almost be something here, whoa
Please don’t let your heavy heart hold you down below
You will only disappear
You thought you could almost be… almost be something
You’d almost be something here
Please don’t let your heavy heart hold you down below
You will only disappear

The Final Word
03:04
|
|||
Little pieces, they fall away and I’m what’s left
I don’t even know if I’ll even know you
Does the mind just fall apart, just like I did?
Staring at the door, I know I should leave, I don’t know why
All my thoughts and my days, just one infinite repeat
Fake a smile, thanks again for stopping by
It’s not a bad dream, It’s not a fairytale
There’s no happy ending coming soon
To be the one who has to write the final word
It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do
No, you never forget
Never get over it
In time, you just get used to it
But I am not used to it yet
It’s not a bad dream, It’s not a fairy tale
There’s no happy ending coming soon
To be the one who has to write the final word
It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do
There is nothing left
There is nothing here
There is nothing without you
To be the one who has to write the final word
It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do

Opportunity
03:25
|
|||
You’ve got your finger on the button
No way that you could just say nothing
The argument is never over
So push the bar a little lower
Never miss an opportunity
Never miss an opportunity
An impulse you cannot escape
Don’t think it through, don’t hesitate
At the center of the universe
There’s no question, you’ll be shooting first
Never miss an opportunity
Never miss an opportunity
Filth is dripping off your tongue
Up on your soapbox in the mud
To hell with dignity, humanity, and decency
To hell with everyone
Never miss an opportunity
Never miss an opportunity, oh yeah

At Your Door Tonight
03:28
|
|||
You can say you’re sorry
Get your body clean
You can’t wash away the memory
It’s another sunrise
And you still can’t sleep
When you close your eyes, you start to bleed
A trail that leads right back to me
Oh my god
What have you done?
One final breath escapes my lungs
Now you know what you’ve become
Shadows in the fading light
The time has come to pay the price
All the demons you don’t believe in
Are waiting at your door tonight

All In Your Head
03:09
|
|||
Broke down in a small town
You want to be found, but you don’t know what that means
Did you get down on your knees?
Did you try to still believe?
Did you pray for some relief?
Did you find the answer?
Feeling you never fit in
Like there’s something that everyone just knew
Everyone but you
And now you don’t know what to do
How could you make it through to whatever’s after?
And they said it’s all in your head
And they said it’s all in your head
It’s all in your head
Don’t be so sad, just let it go
Could anybody understand they just let you go
They let you go
They just let you go
Cut through like they know you, what you should do
But nothing here was real
They don’t care how you feel
A truth you won’t reveal
Don’t be the squeaky wheel
Can you fake the laughter?
And they said it’s all in your head
And they said it’s all in your head
It’s all in your head
It’s all in your head

Lost In The Dark
03:14
|
|||
My heart is a black hole
It never lets go
My head is spinning just beyond the edge
I see light in your eyes
It tugs at my spine
I know it all ends with regrets
I still get lost in the dark
With nothing to hold onto
I still get lost in the dark
When I can’t feel anything
The signal’s fading
And I’m still waiting
For you to give up on me and move on
It wasn’t always this way
I still remember sunny days
Before it all collapsed inside
I still get lost in the dark
With nothing to hold onto
I still get lost in the dark
When I can’t feel anything
Nothing
I still get lost in the dark
I still get lost every time
I still get lost in the dark
When I can’t feel anything
Nothing, nothing
My heart is a black hole
It never lets go
My head is spinning just beyond the edge

Where We Belong
03:49
|
|||
I froze to death out in the storm
Ten feet away from your front porch
Safe and warm, you slept inside
You didn’t say a word until summer came
Everything you owned, you gave away
You took off your clothes and you went outside
You laid down by my grave and died
Hand-in-hand, my immortal love
No fire below, no light above
Death can’t touch a love so strong
We remain where we belong
Forevermore, we’ll haunt this place
Eternity in a dark embrace
We belong
We belong
We belong
We belong
Where we belong
Where we belong
Where we belong
Where we will remain
