Outside 03:00
Lyrics: I woke up today I woke up but it feels the same Like I’m not awake I try to fall right back But sleep just gives me a heart attack Now I’m the insomniac Can you feel my pain? Can you find me the drier side of my rainy day? Don’t just walk away Try to feel what I’m feeling like Trapped inside this cage I don’t understand I don’t know how to be the man Who makes all the plans Maybe I should try Maybe I need to sacrifice An action for its price Can you feel my pain? Can you find me the drier side of my rainy day? Don’t just walk away Try to feel what I’m feeling like Trapped inside this cage I woke up today I woke up but it feels like I’ve never been awake And I don’t even mind I don’t care what the world is like Outside the blinds Outside

Lyrics: Caught inside another lie Something strange is running through my mind I try to hide the darker things That keep on grounding these broken wings Of mine Taking in another breath The air is thin but it’s the best I get I try speak a word or two Dispense the thoughts I feel are overdue Overdue I’ve fallen and I can’t get out This living hell has trapped me now There’s so much to be done above the ground Eternity will break me down Break me down Time is passing and I’m standing still It’s everlasting and designed just to kill Slowing now it weathers me away Brings the dying thoughts of yesterday Yesterday I’ve fallen and I can’t get out This living hell has trapped me now There’s so much to be done above the ground Eternity will break me down Break me down Another breath another hour Another day I will devour And I have been falling in again I’ll find a place where I can land Fallin’ down I’ve fallen and I can’t get out This living hell has trapped me now There’s so much to be done above the ground Eternity will break me down Break me down

Coming Age 03:42
Lyrics: Wait and see The answer soon will come to me What will we do in urgency When all we seek is somewhere to breathe? Why did we exhaust Our priceless dreams, Our subconscious thoughts For useless things that exceed the cost Of diamond rings that cause only loss? From his castle walls We will hear him call: "Cry out to me And you may finally see What can be saved In our coming age" Down we go Deeper into this merciful hole To recover over-spent gold That twists and breaks our sense of control From his castle walls We will hear him call: "Cry out to me And you may finally see What can be saved In our coming age" The cry of a dying breed Is all he will ever need Is this fire worth the greed And has it already Begun to feed? From his castle halls We will hear it all: "Cry out to me And you will finally see What will be changed In my coming age"

Tidal Wave 02:58
Lyrics: And we all see the tidal wave So let’s be strong and let’s be brave Don’t let our luck define our fate Cause there’s so much more we can create Even when the street is flooding Even if we’re locked outside We all learn to keep on running Soon there will be nowhere Nowhere to hide Nowhere to hide Here comes the tide We must decide Do we run? Do we try? Do we find a reason here to survive? And we can see the finest line Between what’s wrong and what’s all fine But we don’t heed the main design Now this fight is harder to define Even when we keep on fighting Even if we stay inside Nothing stops the cold from biting Soon there will be nowhere Nowhere to hide Nowhere to hide Here comes the tide We must decide Are we done? Do we dive? Are we waiting for some help to arrive? Even if this tragedy washes our heavy hearts away We will make it to the end of this rollercoaster one day And we all see the tidal wave So let’s be strong and let’s be brave And we can beat this ugly game Just look at what our world became

Lyrics: Take me out into the darkest night Shake me up, show me the piercing light Now say forgive but then mean forget Don't take these things that heal my regret Whatever you do, whatever you say Whatever you think I bet I'll be okay Whatever you want, whatever you see I want you to know you won't take this from me No I'll never surrender I promise I won't catch your disease I'll always remember The way that you broke a piece of me You won't take Take this from me Like a lion trapped inside his cage Come and watch me hiding fits of rage Like a wake I'll mend the peace and trust Cause I won't break from this bleak disgust Whoever you are, whoever you prey Whoever you hurt, I know I’ll be okay Whoever you want, whoever you see I want you to know you won't take this from me No I'll never surrender I promise I won't catch your disease I'll always remember The way that you broke a piece of me No You won’t take Take this from me No My hands over my ears, I'm screaming out loud I'm bent over backwards to see a way out Your cold heart reminds me of what I have left: The start of a new day, the end of the last I'll never surrender I promise I won't catch your disease I'll always remember The way that you broke a piece of me I'll never surrender I promise I won't catch your disease I'll always remember The way that you broke a piece of me No You won't take this from me No You won't take Take this from me

Time 05:33
Lyrics: The swaying trees, the shaking walls The broken peace, the rain, it falls I wait inside and hold you in my arms The day is gone, the night is black The drapes are drawn, the thunder cracks The sky has died along with all the stars I know, I know: The sun and moon have lost their final glow But don't be afraid Allow yourself to feel the coming wave Can you feel this ticking time bomb caught beneath your heel? Can we say no matter what we'll be blown away? Blown away The future flickers like candlelight The wind blows quicker - I hold you tight We brace ourselves against the cold stone floor We take the pictures off the wall To see memories before they fall From our mortal moment lasting evermore Be brave, be brave The final day won't end the years we've saved Now time stands still As we feel the cold sweat of the coming thrill Can you feel this ticking time bomb caught beneath your heel? Can we say, no matter what we'll be blown away? Go all in: we'll take our chances, never fear again Go all in: we'll stand together waiting for the end Now we are gone We have disappeared, disappeared from here Now we are gone We have disappeared, there's no more fear And now we feel, yeah now we feel Now we can feel the end of everything we know is real And we can say, no matter what we'll never separate The time is here to take our chances, forget all our fear The time is now to stand together, make our final vow The time is now to stand together, make our final vow

Can't you see that metaphor is proof? Going out just like a G so shoot Like I’m try’na climb I’m climbin’ right out the roof Black ops in the black box After shows we make the world stop Sit when I'm lost in my own thoughts Pretty clever I could write a letter to a weather man And show a verse to make him change his worth And play a heart to them I regret the consequence I regret the honesty within my music That could make your council switch their policies I hope there’s truth in these halls I hope there’s youth in us all I'll never surrender I promise I won't catch your disease I'll always remember The way that you broke a piece of me I'll never surrender I promise I won't catch your disease I'll always remember The way that you broke a piece of me No You won't take this from me No [Che Sanchez] I regret the consequence I regret the honesty within my music That could make your council switch their policies I hope there’s truth in these halls I hope there’s youth in us all You won't take Take this from me
