01. THE PRETENDER

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark and so it all began

Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones come marching in again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are at the ready, are you ready?

I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance that whole defense
Spinning infinity, but the wheel is spinning me
It's never ending, never ending
Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender

In time or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent, we're temporary, temporary
Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender

I'm the voice inside your head, you refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face, mirrored in your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that'll take you down, bring you to your knees

So, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender

What if I say I'm not like the others? 
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
(You know they all)
You're the pretender 
(Pretend)
What if I say I will never surrender

What if I say I'm not like the others? 
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
(You know they all)
You're the pretender 
(Pretend)
What if I say I will never surrender

So who are you
Yeah who are you
Yeah who are you!



02. LET IT DIE

A heart of gold but it lost its pride
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes
I see your face in another light
Why'd you have to go and let it die

Why'd you have to go and let it die
Why'd you have to go and let it die
In too deep and out of time
Why'd you have to go and let it die

A simple man and his blushing bride
(Why'd you have to go and let it die)
Intravenous, intertwined
(Why'd you have to go and let it die)
Hearts gone cold your hands were tied
(Why'd you have to go and let it die)
Why'd you have to go and let it die
(Why'd you have to go and let it die)

Why'd you have to go and let it die
Why'd you have to go and let it die
In too deep and out of time
Why'd you have to go and let it die

Do you ever think of me
You're so considerate
Did you ever think of me
Oh so considerate

In too deep and lost in time
Why'd you have to go and let it die
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes
Why'd you have to go and let it die
Hearts gone cold and hands are tied
Why'd you have to go and let it die
Why'd you have to go and let it die

Do you ever think of me
You're so considerate
Did you think of me
Oh so considerate

In too deep and lost in time
Why'd you have to go and let it die
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes
Why'd you have to go and let it die
Hearts gone cold and hands are tied
Why'd you have to go and let it die
Why'd you have to go and let this die

Why'd you have to go and let this die
Why'd you have to go and let this die
Why'd you have to go and let this die
Why'd you have to go and let it die



03. ERASE/REPLACE

Attention, pay attention
No mention, a sick history
O misson, an admission
Ignition, detonate

Oh no don't talk about talk it
No please don't talk about it
Oh no don't talk about talk it
Not one more word about it
Oh no don't think about it
No please don't think about it
Oh please don't think about it
It goes away

Erase (Erase!)
Replace (Replace!)
Erase (Erase!)

Hooray for promises
Hooray for promises
Erase (Erase!)
Replace (Replace!)
Erase (Erase!)

A vision, division
Revision, regulate
An action, a reaction
Distraction, question of faith

Oh no don't talk about talk it
No please don't talk about it
Oh no don't talk about talk it
It goes away

Who made these promises?
You made these promises
Erase (Erase!)
Replace (Replace!)
Erase (Erase!)
Replace
Hooray for promises

Ahhhhh, are we better off now?
Something I've said, meant for you

Something I've said, meant for you

04. LONG ROAD TO RUIN

Hey now dont make a sound say have you heard the news today?
One flag was taken down, to raise another in its place
A heavy cross you bare, a stubborn heart remains unchanged
No home, no life, no love, no stranger singing in your name

It may be the season, the colors change in the valleys skies
Dear God I've sealed my fate, running through hell, heaven can wait

Long road to ruin, there in your eyes
Under the cold street lights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight

Lets say we take this town, no king or queen of any state
Get up to shut it down,open the streets and raise the gates
I know I want to still, I know what I feel without a name
Head on without a care, before its way to late

It may be the season, the colors change in the valleys skies
Oh God I've sealed my fate, running through hell, heaven can wait

Long road to ruin, there in your eyes
Under the cold street lights
No tomorrow, no dead ends
Long road to ruin, there in your eyes
Under the cold street lights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight

For every peice to fall in place
Forever gone without a trace
You'll rise and takes its shape
No turning back, don't turn that page
Come now I'm leavin here tonight
Come now lets leave it all behind
Is that the price you pay?
Running through hell, heaven can wait

Long road to ruin, there in your eyes
Under the cold street lights
No tomorrow, no dead ends
Long road to ruin, there in your eyes
Under the cold street lights
No tomorrow, no dead ends
Long road to ruin, there in your eyes
Under the cold street lights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight



05. COME ALIVE

Seems like only yesterday
Life belonged to runaways
Nothing here to see, no looking back
Every sound monotone
Every color monochrome
Life began to fade into the black

Such a simple animal
Sterilized with alcohol
I could hardly feel me anymore
Desperate meaningless
All filled up with emptiness
Felt like everything was said and done

I lay there in the dark when I close my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive

Still I tried to find my way
Spinning I was in the daze
Burning like a flame behind my eyes
Drown it out, drink it in
Crown the king of suffering
Prisoner to slave to the disguise

Disappear the only thing
Bittersweet surrendering
Knew that it was time to say goodbye

I lay there in the dark when I close my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
No reason left for me to survive
You saved me the day you came alive

Come alive (16x, fade out)

I lay there in the dark when I close my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive

Come alive (15x)

Nothing more to give
I can finally live
Come alive
You laughing at me
I can finally breath
Come alive

I lay there in the dark open my eyes
(Come alive, come alive...)
You saved me the day you came alive
(Come alive, come alive...)

Come alive (11x)



06. STRANGER THIUNGS HAVE HAPPENED

God damn this dusty room
This hazy afternoon
I'm breathing in this silence like never before
This feeling that I get
This one last cigarette
As I lay awake and wait for you to come through that door

Oh maybe, maybe, maybe I can share it with you
I'll behave, I'll behave, I'll behave so I can share it with you

You are not alone dear loneliness
You forgot but I remember this
Oh stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know
I am not alone dear loneliness
I forgot that I remember this
Oh stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know

I dream about somewhere
The smoke will fill the air
As I lay awake and wait for you to walk out that door

I can change, I can change, I can change but who you want me to be
I'm the same, I'm the same, I'm the same, oh do you want me to be

You are not alone dear loneliness
You forgot but I remember this
Oh stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know

I am not alone dear loneliness
I forgot that I remember this
You are not alone dear loneliness
You forgot but I remember this
Oh stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know
I am not alone dear loneliness
I forgot that I remember this
Oh stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know



07. CHEER UP, BOYS (YOUR MAKE UP IS RUNNING)

It was meant to be, but all along it never meant till then
Never stopped to ask you why you didn't pass me by
Did you see me when your life flashed before your eyes?
Was it just that I wasn't hard enough, hard enough for you

Stop using my
(Stop, stop, stop......)
Confusion
(Stop, stop, stop......)

Wait, wait, there's a world out there
(There's a world out there)
Don't you deny me
(Don't you deny me)
Give me one last wish
(Give me one last wish)
There's a world out there

Elementary, I solved them all, all your mysteries
Settle down and with good time, we can solve all mine
Tell me lies, oh tell me when, tell me off again
And I will let you know when I've had enough, had enough of you

Stop using my
(Stop, stop, stop......)
Confusion
(Stop, stop, stop......)

Wait, wait, there's a world out there
(There's a world out there)
Don't you deny me
(Don't you deny me)
Give me one last wish
(There's a world out there)
There's a world out there
(Don't you deny me)

Know you've got your reasons
Hey, let's call it even
Turn out all the lights and go to bed
Still I get this feeling
No one will believe me
When I let these ghosts outside my head

There's a world out there
(There's a world out there)
Don't you deny me
(Don't you deny me)
Give me one last wish
(Give me one last wish)
Don't you deny me
(Don't you deny me)

There's a world out there
(There's a world out there)
Don't you deny me
(Don't you deny me)
Give me one last wish
(There's a world out there)
There's a world out there
(Don't you deny me)



08. SUMMER'S END

Early morning without warning 
Woke me with a scare
I had that dream again
That the sun was dead

Make me warm or take me home
It's so cold in here 
Can we meet somewhere
Is it winter there
Is it winter there
This winter

Meet me in the summer time
We can move the air
Sweet Virginia country side
I will meet you there
Bloody lips and cherry wine
Moonshine in your hair
Just keep staring at the sun
Pray for Summer's End

Come on over break my storm
Ocean's overhead
Come inside my friend
In the night out there

Every moment we have stolen
All we had to share
No one wanted that
But you know I did
You know I did
This moment

Meet me in the summer time
We can move the air
Sweet Virginia country side
I will meet you there
Bloody lips and cherry wine
Moonshine in your hair
Just keep staring at the sun
Pray for Summer's End

Meet me in the summer time
We can move the air
Sweet Virginia country side
I will meet you there
Bloody lips and cherry wine
Moonshine in your hair
Just keep staring at the sun
Pray for Summer's End

Meet me in the summer time
Meet me in the summer time
Meet me in the summer time
We can move the air
Meet me in the summer time
I will meet you there



09. BALLAD OF THE BEACONSFIELD MINERS

1, 2, 3, 4



10. STATUES

You and I were two old and tortured souls
Repaired by a love of broken things
In a life, just somebodys growing old
No fear of the end of anything

We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually

We got by, though we never needed much
A sliver of hope, no diamond rings
We got high it was heaven, it was hell
Flying over them with broken wings

We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually
Oh, just two ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually

Our bones forever in stone
A monumetal life
To dust as everything must
We'll fade away in time, oh

We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually
Oh, just two ordinary people, you and me
Oh, time will turn us into statues, eventually



11. BUT, HONESTLY

Where you off to with that head of yours?
Is there somewhere you should be?
Was it something that I said, the time?
I held you down and told you it's not you it's only me
Maybe

Don't take what I don't need
(Give me back my piece of mind)
Don't say what I don't mean
(Give me back my precious time)
No way you'll silence me
You'll see

What you up to now your mirror's gone?
Is there someone you should be?
Did you think I was just fooling around with you?
But, honestly
But, honestly
But, honestly

Don't take what I don't need
(Give me back my piece of mind)
Don't say what I don't mean
(Give me back my precious time)
No way you'll silence me
(Give me back my piece of mind)
No where to hide from me
You'll see

And tonight I thank the stars
As I count my lucky scars
For everything you've given me
And all the words I gave to you
Something borrowed, something blue
If you want them back

I'll give it to you (16x)

I don't want one thing that I gave to you (8x)



12. HOME

Wish I were with you, but I couldn't stay
Every direction leads me away
Pray for tommorow, but for today
All I want is to be home

Stand in the mirror, you look the same
Just looking for shelter, from cold and the pain
Someone to cover safe from the rain
All I want is to home

Echoes and silence, patience and grace
All of these moments I'll never replace
No fear of my heart, absense of faith
All I want is to be home

All I want is to be home

People I've loved, I have no regrets
Some I remember, some I forget
Some of them living, some of them dead
All I want is to be home



ONCE AND FOR ALL

Ohhh misery commotion begin
No better to place for me to begin
I'm coming in from out of this reign
The time has come to wash you away

The lovers are at it again
The lovers are at it again
Ohh gather around sing your sins, amen
Mine time has come once and for all
Mine time has come this means war

Ohh bring to me your broken emblem
No matter if it matters to you
The longing like never before
I've had enough now I need more

The lovers are at it again
The lovers are at it again
Ohh gather around sing your sins, amen
Mine time has come once and for all
Mine time has come this means war
Mine time has come once and for all
Mine time has come this means war

Heey
Forgive me divinity
I'll sing you all my sins

Mine time has come once and for all
Mine time has come this means war
Mine time has come once and for all
Mine time has come this means war
Mine time has come this means war
Mine time has come this means war
Mine time has come this means war
Mine time has come this means war

The lovers are at it again
The lovers are at it again
The lovers are at it again
The lovers are at it again



SEDA

Seda can you hear me?
Do you know my face?
Perfect like a circle
Gone without a trace

So long I have known you
Marks upon your skin
I can picture everything
Can you picture this?

Seda doesn't care
She just sits and stares
All the secrets bare for the world to see

Who will stand before you?
If you don't say my name?
Safe to say we will never know
We are both the same

I don't mind I can always find you
Waiting here for me

Seda doesn't care
She just sits and stares
All the secrets bare for the world to see

Seda doesn't care
She just sits and stares
Seda doesn't care
She's just dying there
Seda doesn't care
She's just lying there
All the secrets bare for you and me
