Careful
I settled down A twisted up frown Disguised as a smile, well You would have never known Open your eyes like i opened mine It's only the real world, A life you will never know I had it all But not what i wanted cause hope for me Was a place uncharted And overgrown Shifting your weight To throw off the pain Well, You can ignore it But, only for so long More, more

You'd make your way in i'd resist you just like this

You look like I did You resist me just like this

You can't tell me to feel The truth never set me free So, I did it myself

You can't tell me to heal And, it hurts remembering How it felt to shut down

You can't be too careful anymore When all that is waiting for you Won't come any closer You've got to reach out a little more More More

You've got to reach out...

The truth never set me free The truth never set me free The truth never set me free So, I'll do it myself

Can't be too careful anymore When all that is waiting for you Won't come any closer You've got to reach out More

You can't be too careful anymore When all that is waiting for you Won't come any closer

03. Playing God

Can't make my own decisions or make any with precision Well maybe you should tie me up so I don't go where you don't want me It's just my humble opinion But it's one that I believe in You don't deserve a point of view If the only thing you see is you You say that I been changing, that I'm not just simply aging Yeah how could that be logical? Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat Oh oh oh ohhhh You don't have to believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger You don't have to believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror This is the last second chance (I'll point you to the mirror) I'm half as good as it gets If God's the game that you're playing Well we must get more acquainted Because it has to be so lonely To be the only one who's holy (I'll point you to the mirror) I'm on both sides of the fence (I'll point you to the mirror) Without a hint of regret I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror Oh oh oh ohhhh

I'll hold you to it I know you won't believe me I know you don't believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror

04. Brick By Boring Brick

She lives in a fairy tale Somewhere too far for us to find Forgotten the taste and smell Of the world that she's left behind It's all about the exposure the lens I told her The angles were all wrong now She's ripping wings off of butterflies keep your feet on the ground when your head's in the clouds Well go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle, bury the castle Well go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle, bury the castle Ba da ba ba da ba ba da So one day he found her crying Coiled up on the dirty ground Her prince finally came to save her And the rest you can figure out But it was a trick And the clock struck twelve Well make sure to build your home brick by boring brick or the wolf's gonna blow it down keep your feet on the ground when your head's in the clouds Well go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle, bury the castle Well you built up a world of magic Because your real life is tragic Yeah you built up a world of magic If it's not real You can't hold it in your hand You can't feel it with your heart And I won't believe it But if it's true You can see it with your eyes Oh even in the dark And that's where I want to be, yeah Go get your shovel We'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle, bury the castle Well go get your shovel and we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle, bury the castle Guys x2:

05. Turn It Off

I scraped my knees while i was praying and found a demon in my safest haven seems like its getting harder to believe in anything and just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts it's all wrong the way were working towards a goal that's nonexistent, its nonexistent but we just keep believing

and the worst part is before it gets any better were headed for a cliff and in the freefall i will realize i'm better off when I hit the bottom

I wanna know what itd be like to find perfection in my pride to see nothing in the light but turn it off in all my spite, in all my spite ill turn it off

I wanna know what itd be like to find perfection in my pride to see nothing in the light but turn it off in all my spite,

and the worst part is before it gets any better were headed for a cliff and in the freefall i will realize i'm better off when I hit the bottom

in all my spite ill turn it off just turn it off again again, again, again.

tragedy it seems unending i'm watching everyone i looked up to break and bending were taking short cuts and false illusions just to cut out the hero

and the worst part is before it gets any better were headed for a cliff and in the freefall i will realize i'm better off when I hit the bottom

and the worst part is before it gets any better were headed for a cliff well i can see behind the curtain the wheels are creaking, turning and in the freefall i will realize i'm better off when I hit the bottom

06. The Only Exception

When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry And curse at the wind He broke his own heart and I watched As he tried to reassemble it But you are the only exception And my momma swore that She would never let herself forget And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist I've got a tight grip on reality But darling, you are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception But I can't let go of what's in front of me here I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream, oh You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul That love never lasts And we've got to find other ways to make it alone Or keep a straight face

You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception

You are the only exception And I've always lived like this Keeping a comfortable distance You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing Oh, and I'm on my way to believing

07. Feeling Sorry

We still live in the same town, well, don't we? But I don't see you around anymore. I go to all the same places, not even a trace of you... Your days are numbered at 24. And I'm getting bored waiting round for you, We're not getting any younger, and I Won't look back 'cause there's no use It's time to move forward! I feel no sympathy, You lived inside a cave! You barely get by the rest of us, You're trying, there's no need to apologize, I've got no time for feeling sorry! You know it too, you can't run from your shame! You're not getting any younger, time, Is passing by, but you waited awake... It's time to roll over!

I feel no sympathy, You lived inside a cave! You barely get by the rest of us, You're trying, there's no need to apologize, I've got no time for feeling sorry!

And all the best lies, They are told with fingers tied! So cross them tight, Won't you promise me tonight If it's the last thing you do, you'll get out...

I tried not to think of what might happen, When your reality, finally, cuts through. Well, as for me, I got out and I'm on the road. The worst part it that this (THIS! ), this could be you.

I feel no sympathy, You lived inside a cave. You barely get by the rest of us, You're trying, there's no need to apologize, I've got no time, I've got no time!

I feel no sympathy, You lived inside a cave! You barely get by the rest of us, You're trying, there's no need to apologize,

Got no time!

I've got no time for feeling sorry! I've got no time for feeling sorry!

08. Looking Up
Things are looking up, oh finally! I thought I'd never see the day when you smile at me. We always pull through oh when we try, I'm always wrong but you're never right. You're never right! God knows the world doesnt need another band, Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's asleep? I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this! It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh.. It's not a dream anymore! Its worth fighting for. (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!) But what a waste it wouldve been! (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!) I can't believe we almost hung it up! (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!) We're just getting started (whoo-oa, whooooa!) Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's asleep? I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this! It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh.. It's not a dream anymore! Its worth fighting for.

Could have given up so easily I was a few cheap shots away from the end of me Taken for granted, most everything that I would have died for Just yesterday, Just yeterday. I can't believe we almost hung it up Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's asleep? I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this! It's not a dream anymore! No, no It's not a dream anymore! no, no Its worth fighting for.

(woah-ohohoh) We're just getting started! (woah-ohohoh) x2

We're just getting started! We're just getting started!

09. Where The Lines Overlap

Give me attention I need it now Too much distance To measure it out (out loud) But I can learn There's nothing to it I've never been happier Never been happier

Tracing patterns Across our personal map And Making pictures Where the lines overlap Where the lines overlap

No one is as lucky as us We're not at the end but Oh we already won Oh no, no one Is as lucky as us Is as lucky as us

No one is as lucky as us We're not and the end but Oh we already won Oh no, no one Is as lucky as us Is as lucky as us Now I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough, you Would sing it back to me I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough, you Will sing it back to me Call me over And tell me how well, you got so far Never making a single sound I've got a feeling I've got a feeling That you, will sing it back to me You, will sing it back to me I'm not used to it

No one is as lucky as us We're not at the end But Oh we already won No no, No one

Is as lucky as us Is as lucky as us Is as lucky as us

10. Misguided Ghosts

I'm going away for a while. But I'll be back, don't try to follow me, 'Cause I'll return as soon as possible. See I'm trying to find my place, But it might not be here where I feel safe. We all learn to make mistakes. And run, And run. From them, from them, With no direction. We'll run from them, from them, With no conviction. Misguided ghosts, 'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts, Travelling endlessly. Don't need no roads. In fact they follow me. Travelling endlessly. The ones we trusted the most, Pushed us far away. And theres no one road, We should not be the same. And we just go in circles. But I'm just a ghost, And still they echo me. Now I'm told that this life, And pain is just a simple compromise, They echo me in circles To them, to them Full speed ahead. Oh, you are not useless. We are just... Would someone care to classify, Our broken hearts and twisted minds, So I can find someone to rely on. So we can get what we want out of it.

11. All I Wanted

Think of me when you're out, when you're out there I'll beg you nice from my knees When the world treats you way too fairly It's a shame I'm a dream I could follow you to the beginning All I wanted was you All I wanted was you And just relive the start And maybe then we'll remember to slow down To all of our favorite parts I think I'll pace my apartment a few times And fall asleep on the couch And wake up early to black and white re-runs? That escaped from the mouth All I wanted was you All I wanted was you Oh-Oh All I wanted was you All I wanted was you All I wanted was you All I wanted was you All I wanted was you All I wanted was you All I wanted was you
