Verse 1 If it makes you happy, I'll keep the lights on Among dusty books and empty glasses Somewhere you feel like you belong Between cigarettes and strained smiles If it makes you happy, I'll sing a song for you About what's here and what's beyond Deep down you know it's true Absence makes the heart grow fond Chorus 1 (Deep down you know) (Deep down you know) Verse 2 If I know you're sad, I'll try to find peace Through the odds and ends in my mind Lost in between struggle and release I never know what I might find With every stream of consciousness Not feeling alive, but not yet dead Drowning in thoughts and your distress Light below and with darkness ahead Chorus 2 Whatever it takes to get to you (Deep down you know) Whatever it takes to get to you I will fight even heaven and hell Past the pearly gates Whatever it takes away from me Whatever it takes away from me Whatever it takes to get to you Whatever you need to pull through Whatever it takes for you to see Whatever you need for me to be I will fight even heaven and hell Past the pearly gates Whatever it takes away from me Whatever it takes away from me (Whatever it takes to get to you) Who can save me from myself? (Whatever it takes to get to you) Who can make it go away? (Whatever it takes to get to you) I don't trust these demons, but they are all that I have left Whatever it takes away from me (Whatever it takes to get to you) I don't trust these demons (Whatever it takes to get to you) Whatever it takes away from me (Whatever it takes to get to you) Whatever it takes away from me Whatever it takes away from me

Let Me Dream 03:57
Verse 1 Found each other Smiling behind masks Feeling so close Yet so far apart Pre-Chorus 1 Amidst the flood something that lasts Unsettling thoughts from my past Left untouched for me to explore Fatal attraction in a world at war Chorus 1 Let me dream a little longer Of a place for our hearts to collide Where entropy reigns supreme A little haven eternity implied Let us fall a little slower Through the clouds of our lucid dream Somewhere that we'll be free To be more than dust to the wind Verse 2 Time doesn't matter When you're in isolation For you and me Days are an ocean Pre-Chorus 2 Amidst the flood something that lasts Unsettling thoughts from my past Left untouched for me to explore Fatal attraction in a world at war Chorus 2 Let me dream a little longer Of a place for our hearts to collide Where entropy reigns supreme A little haven eternity implied Let us fall a little slower Through the clouds of our lucid dream Somewhere that we'll be free To be more than dust to the wind Bridge Don't wake me up Don't wake me up Chorus 3 Let me dream a little longer Of a place for our hearts to collide Where entropy reigns supreme A little haven eternity implied Let us fall a little slower Through the clouds of our lucid dream Somewhere that we'll be free To be more than dust to the wind

Defiance 03:23
Verse 1 Children get sick, they see their parents die So you can stay, in your ivory tower For them it's their life, for you just a lie You spread your wings, but want them to cower We will pull through Even if you don't want us to Chorus 1 I don't wanna die so that you can keep your status Fuck your institution and this whole apparatus Verse 2 A burning desire, a remnant of your failures Bloated sense of pride, fueling your ego We are no pawns, you are no savior We can't breathe, but we will pull through Even if you don't want us to Chorus 2 I don't wanna die so that you can keep your status Fuck your institution and this whole apparatus Bridge We'll raise our fists in defiance We'll raise our fists in defiance We'll raise our fists in defiance We'll raise them even if you don't want us to Chorus 3 I don't wanna die so that you can keep your status Fuck your institution and this whole apparatus

In Motion 02:59
Verse 1 I try to break free Venturing past the frame Still holding on to me Opting for change, but staying the same I want to be the director Shaping my own scenes Or at least the narrator But I don't have the means No, I don't have the means Chorus 1 You live life like a movie While I’m the cameraman Everything is in motion While I try to stand as still as I can Verse 2 Never part of your scene If I don't even try Should step away from the screen Don't want life to pass me by Don't want life to pass me by Chorus 2 You live life like a movie While I’m the cameraman Everything is in motion While I try to stand as still as I can Bridge Changed my mind from standard to HD Still not the hero, but the best I can be Chorus 3 You live life like a movie While I’m the cameraman Everything is in motion While I try to stand as still as I can You are chased by the spotlight Casting shadows all around Everything is blazing While I try to capture the light that I've found

Verse 1 Starving on a stomach full of hate Burning up inside, leaving you cold Keeps you going, but leaves you behind Orange lilies sprouting in mold Letting darkness into your home Chorus 1 If you are out for revenge Make room for two ‘Cause in the grave that you dig You'll lose yourself too If you don't heal your wounds You'll bleed on those Who cared the most for you On the path you chose Verse 2 Heading blindly towards the light Until your sun shines no more A phantom pain carries you on Mold is eating you to the core Domesticated demons using your heart to roam Chorus 2 If you are out for revenge Make room for two ‘Cause in the grave that you dig You'll lose yourself too If you don't heal your wounds You'll bleed on those Who cared the most for you On the path you chose Bridge I know that it hurts, I feel your sorrow Leave the past be, live for tomorrow Chorus 3 If you are out for revenge Make room for two ‘Cause in the grave that you dig You'll lose yourself too If you don't heal your wounds You'll bleed on those Who cared the most for you On the path you chose

Black Gold 03:50
Verse 1 I've grown roots in your heart Not gonna part with you I've gone back to the start Creepingly breaking through Everything is as it seems I am by all means your light I am in all of your dreams Removing your daily blight Patiently waiting to ignite Chorus 1 Black gold coursing through your veins Taking you into custody Paranoia sending shivers down your spine Anxiety keeps you company Verse 2 You've found rest in my soul I am in control of rage You place hope in my role To take over center stage I'm all you need, I'm all you need I'm all you need and you want me so bad I'm all you need, I'm all you need I'm hormones flowing through your blood Chorus 2 Black gold coursing through your veins Taking you into custody Paranoia sending shivers down your spine Anxiety keeps you company Bridge I am stuck in your mind Like hitting rewind forever We're like two hearts aligned Never apart, always together Pushing you relentlessly to wonder Questioning reality more and more Chorus 3 Black gold coursing through your veins Taking you into custody Paranoia sending shivers down your spine Anxiety keeps you company Anxiety keeps you company Anxiety keeps you company

Monster 03:34
Verse 1 It creeps in the dark Shrouded in thick mist Closing in inch by inch No chance to resist Breathing in Head held high Breathing out Staring it down It keeps me stunned Weighing me down Coming close step by step No time to run Pre-Chorus 1 There are no monsters that I dread ‘Cause they're all inside my head Neither alive nor really dead I fear no monsters Chorus 1 I am all your fears and worse And you don't even know about it (Love me, love me, love me) I am all your fears and worse And you don't even know about it (Love me, love me, love me) Verse 2 I'm fighting back With all my heart Breaking free from its hold Tearing me apart Pre-Chorus 2 There are no demons that I see ‘Cause all this time I believe The only monster has been me Chorus 2 I am all your fears and worse And you don't even know about it (Love me, love me, love me) I am all your fears and worse And you don't even know about it (Love me, love me, love me) Chorus 3 I am all your fears and worse And you don't even know about it (Love me, love me, love me) I am all your fears and worse And you don't even know about it (Love me, love me, love me)

Navigation 03:35
Verse 1 I am a stage in a life full of drama (The only way to play a part) I am the garden in a city of cement (A place to breathe life) ‘Cause I wear black in a sea of color Embracing all the light I'm your lethal dose of happiness Get me without prescription Chorus 1 ‘Cause you'd be lonely Without my voice inside your head I continue to be The navigation in your life The navigation in your life Verse 2 You are my rock in this endless ocean (Keep me safe, but trapped) You are a book in a world full of tweets (Keep me sane, but lost) You keep track in a maze of mirrors Emitting all the light You're my lethal dose of happiness I get you without prescription Chorus 2 ‘Cause you'd be lonely Without my voice inside your head I continue to be The navigation in your life The navigation in your life The navigation in your life Bridge We are opposites attracted to each other Repelling and pulling like magnets only rougher We are inseparable but at times too close You are the drug I willingly chose Chorus 3 ‘Cause you'd be lonely Without my voice inside your head I continue to be The navigation in your life The navigation in your life The navigation in your life
