Whatever It Takes

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

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

Orange Lilies

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

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)

Rushing through the sky
Crashing down on me
Asking me who I want to be

I don’t know now
I don’t feel the need to know

You think you are a shining star
Shining bright from afar

Please leave me be

I was blinded for far too long (for far too long)
By the way your light has shown (your light has shown)
Not everything I do is wrong (is wrong)
Shining bright doesn’t mean you’ve won

Never were a shining star
Just held back on your dark
Crashing down on me
Asking me what we’ll be

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

Verse 1
You can see the light
Brighter on the other side
Never enough
I had bad dreams of chasing you
Never give up
Pre-Chorus 1
Years have gone by
Forgot about the chase
I'm rolling on a high
Chorus 1
I have changed
You don't get to act that way
‘Cause you don't know me
No, you don't know me
You stayed the same
I've long gone another way
‘Cause you don't know me
Yeah, you don't know me
Verse 2
Even stars cast shades
Waiting for yours to fade
Never enough
I have sweet dreams of leaving you
Never give up
Pre-Chorus 2
Years have gone by
Forgot about the chase
I'm rolling on a high
Chorus 2
I have changed
You don't get to act that way
‘Cause you don't know me
No, you don't know me
You stayed the same
I've long gone another way
‘Cause you don't know me
Yeah, you don't know me

If you are out for revenge
Make room for two
