1.Colour
Its something we all say we want
Its something most will live without
Happy is what you make
Its up to you it's not my choice to make
I don't need that anymore
I'm older now I'm seeing clear
This is what I made
Its up to me it's not your choice to make
Its nothing that you want to hear
So listen up, make myself clear
Sacrifice is your savior
Its on the inside that you'll find it all
Not in the shit you bought at the shopping mall
Its learning how to give with your selfish bones
Everything I say is free, I aint nobody's property
The greatest thing on Earth
When you feel it running down the back of your spine you'll know
Nobody can take what everybody owns
The skys on fire it's burning you alive
With your jealousy
You can take and you take
Your left with nothing but your misery
Even seeing everything that you've done
Won't make you stop being who you've always been
Even seeing everything that you've become
Won't make you admit that you have been wrong
2.Everything's On Fire
Some of us have chosen to spend our time here
To bring more pain and scaring
To everyone around, excuses ring out loud
Its what we've all been taught, what we were shown when we were
kids
You say 'Look at me Now, Look at me Now
I am bruised and broken down' and you say
'How do you really expect me to break out
Of a cycle that has been around
Since before we were even born'
A legacy that's been left to everyone
Its hardest in the morning
But nothing else can be done in a casket
Revolution, revolution is what I'm talking about
I've been left here - Someone's left here to pick up the pieces
Breaking your neck, breaking your neck to turn your head around
A legacy that's been left to everyone
Its time to wake up and turn this around
Headed out on a Bullet Train
Where we are going, ain't no one can tell
I get the feeling everything's on fire
Has all the alcohol affected your brain so badly
You're permanently in a state you can't reverse
You say, 'Look at me now, Look at me now
I am bruised and broken down'
Some of us have chosen to spend our time here
To bring more pain and scaring,
To everyone around, excuses ring out loud
3.Place Called Houston
It's a long way back from nothing
But that's just where we're coming from
A place called Houston on the map I can remember when
He picked us up just like water
You have to keep on drinking to go on living
To keep on living - Sometimes I wasn't thirsty at all
The day you realize that you already have
Everything that you ever wanted, you'll know
If a man can love enough he can save a million lives
And maybe his own
If a man can love enough to give up his whole world
What he will receive in return will be so much more
Some lessons must be taught
With the blood and sweat of other men
And now that I have seen the fight that you've fought
Its my day to be that man
And I hope I may fight this as well
4.Records
We don't listen to those records anymore
They're all really dark they just make my day harder to
Get through, but changing is such a difficult thing to do
So now I'm - I'm singing - To you now
Just like I always have - I'm singing - To you now
When you speak do you say what you mean
Sometimes I'm so ready for this all to be ending
Its tick tick ticking - a time bomb monster half the time
I'm so fucking tired of Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hide
A pure stress nervous wreck, with a smile
A pressure cooker, boiling on the inside
You're on the rooftop but I don't think that will save you this
time
Shed your skin! Drink your potion - there's no place left to
hide
I put on that old record again
Its like talking to my only old best friend
The beats are kicking
The city center Interstate I see the rings on your fingers
And I'm singing - To you now
Just like I always have - I'm singing - To you now
5.The Worst Kind of Liars
Look at me - I can carry the load
Time and deeds have proven I'm not so stupid I can't see
The light that shines - on easier roads
So be my guest that's not the way I'm headed tonight
There's a cynic in every crowd
You're so real it hurts to look into your eyes
At some point something's got to give
You give and give till you can't give no more
You give and you give till its all gone
And she can carry me in one hand
The silhouette of her mothers milk white breast is enough
I'm so drunk I can barely stand
So give me the strength of ten men
So I can carry the weights I am given
There's a cynic in every crowd
You're so real it hurts to look into your eyes
These fakers are the worst kind of liars
Commitment is a choice you keep making
Everything will be changing - Give me the strength
To carry the weights I am given tonight
6.G
Maybe I should just get used to it
These words I'll use again and again
Don't you know, how this disgust me
Just to know how you always trusted me
Just to know that I would never
See anymore than what's on your face
Stripped from heavens holy grace, I've been
Cursed to live with demons that come with life all alone
If you just knew that you know nothing
You'd be a whole hell of a lot smarter
Than you think you are at the moment
Don't you know how you always trusted me
Just to know that there would never be
Anything to replace what's lost
Someone tell me what's the cost
I'll pay the price any day to take these words away
7.The Gift of Light
Who'd of known
Looking a the dark dirt gravel road
You'd of done everything you've done
Or that I'd become all I've become
Intimidate me - I'm afraid
Frustrate me - Stomach ache
Its dark tonight wherever you are
Its dark tonight where I am also
The gift of light is something you'll never know
I'm alright - I'm alright
Comfort in Holding your hands
Won't soften the blows to come
Comfort in thinking thoughts of never being born
Won't take away - can never take away - all I've become
I broke down the minute I hung up the phone
I'm breaking down every other minute I'm alone
Its dark tonight wherever you are
Its dark tonight where I am also
The gift of light is something you'll never know
I'm alright - I'm alright
8.Deleporte
9.Schoolmaker
Part of me wants to go back through time
To those years, they were yours and mine only
Man there was nobody
Part of me wants to get on with it
I've seen days like these before and there so long
I don't want them anymore I'm leaving them off
Whining maybe, Love you definitely
I'm sorry. I don't know why I get like this so often
I'm killing myself - I'm killing us both
I can't afford not to take these risks
The well is running dry
Nothing can buy back the time
Waste no more tonight
Lay down here by my side
Pick up your horn
Blow out your lungs
Let the truth be heard, and I won't worry anymore
About everything that I could never control anyway
Let it go, its a weight that I've wasted my life on
Some things have to be left behind
And when you found me it was just in time
I knew these things couldn't go on much longer
I remember when we were such sweet kids
And I was the type I always tried really hard - too hard
And you always knew it
I feel my arms breaking, I can't carry everything
I never wanted to let you down
Maybe I'll wake up someday and know that's never
What you wanted anyway, and I'll learn to let go
