1.The Falling Kind
Should we even wonder why our hearts are torn
Why our image is based on this broken city
Should we ask ourselves why our lungs breathe in sickness
Innocence is seen as weakness
Laughted at us naive
And it's these things that hold you down
When they're supposed to keep you safe and sound
And it's these things you claim to believe.
Don't let them be the ones you forever tried to please
It's this scene that leaves you cold
But why choose anything else and lose your place in line
May I ask one thing, how do you think this will work out
You are no more well-liked than those who have been betrayed
Look at you now
2.Moments Rewound
When i'm lost without a word to say
When i'm not the most intriguing, will you stay
When i've called just to hear you say hi
Will you find me too needy and walk away
And I know these are silly questions to ask you
'Cause you've proven to love me far beyond my faults
And I'll hold on to every conversation if it could be our last
When you're not breathing I beg for one more breath with you
When you're silent, I hang on to every word
And there are no regrets with this love
Rewind to any moment you like
Sit back remember, I will always sit back with you
Oh how cool you wished to be, we were both so nervous
But at peace at the same time knowing this was right
The time I moved in closely for what you weren't expecting
Think on this, but don't miss
Don't long for the past, long for what comes next
Come away with life, come away with love
With something better
3.Safe
Your eyes are nothing i've looked deep knowing i was safe
And this memory will never be erased
You put me in my place no more
I would have liked a call
Outside of you calling out my faults
I would have liked to settle this once and for all
Would you have me crawl
And this memory, it will never fade
You can cry in this bed alone
I won't cry with you anymore
You can lay in this grave you made
I won't lie with you anymore
4.Still Standing
They're building hate today
I see it in the eyes of every passing gaze
They're calling your name today, you've won
Congratulations
Say what you want to say
Be safe, make everyone feel comfortable
Call me out and let me breathe again
Call me out and let me see again
Breathe into me the air you swear you're not polluting
And flatter me, tell me I am beautiful
That i'm the only one you care for
Make me believe that all your good intentions
Will offset all the wrong you've done
Still i'll be screaming
You don't know all the wrong you've done
But we're still standing
We will cast our votes and not be afraid
We will not fall
Won't you call us out, giving us freedom again
5.Your God, Your Country
