Don't you try to take me down,
don't you try to take me over,
won't you try to break me?
The complexities moving in,
and I feel that I do not have the strength,
tragedies plaguing me solemnly
Its affecting my will

Wait now that I've found you,
situations from dark now change to gray
Disregarding my absence of memories,
its perpetually blinding me of sanity,
and just when I'm giving in,
as I try to scale these walls
Jericho falls around me
and I feel that I've strayed too long

And darkness is fading in...and darkness is real

Oh my eyes
oh closing slowly
I try

Fate seems to recreate,
I just can not escape,
Something holds me down and makes me act a way I can't explain
Even now I can feel it coming over me choking me,
as I'm falling behind
You can say you know me,
but you have no clue what my dreams could show you

And darkness is fading in, and darkness is real

Oh my eyes
oh closing slowly
I try

I
Can't
Can't win

I feel something deep inside me,
I feel deep inside
I feel something deep inside me and I can't let this go, whoa,
I feel something deep inside me and I can't let this go, whoa,

Lie, as I try to steer clear, and I try to stay sober
This is taking me over,
And my dreams complicate it...

I just can not let this go
I tried so many times to tell you
I just I can not let this go,
I just can not win

See you
I see you falling away
I see you...you
Killing me softly
I see you...you falling away I see you...you

Don't take what's in front of me, open eyes can see I have everything
Tell you don't take what's in front of me, tell you don't take what's in me

Lie, which one lied?
When I feel it come a way, way that's why I try...lie

(Crowd singing)

I see you coming my way
dreams may fall more everyday
I see you looking my way

And I've tried just to separate dreams from reality try to satisfy this wanting,
Try to stay righteous, try to stay sober, but then, I can't win

And I know you, and I know you, and I know you...
Lie

it's january 1970
do you remember me
you put me on a boat across the sea,
in the name of victory
but much to my surprise when i arrived
there was no welcoming committee
instead there was some men for me to kill
and now i see all this is all too real

then i saw him standing with a bayonet
and as ran towards him
he hardly broke a sweat
when i took his life
he fell to his knees
and as his eyes began to fade
he whispered softly

godspeed this letter away from here
i sealed it with my tears and stamped it with my fears
and godspeed this letter away from you
my work down here is through
i'm on my way to better days and so are you

and in his pocket there i saw a picture of his children and his family
and i began to realize this person i despised in actuality
was not much different from myself
we probably could have taught each other many things
and now i know it's much too late
although i couldn't hesitate
i checked his gun and his chamber was empty

then i saw him standing with a bayonet
and as ran towards him
he hardly broke a sweat
when i took his life
he fell to his knees
and as his eyes began to fade
he whispered softly

godspeed this letter away from here
i sealed it with my tears and stamped it with my fears
and godspeed this letter away from you
my work down here is through
i'm on my way to better days and so are you

ooh ooh
we know not what we've done
and ooh ooh we know not what we've done

godspeed this letter away from here
i sealed it with my tears and stamped it with my fears
and godspeed this letter away from you
my work down here is through
i'm on my way to better days and so are you

Senioritis


Gather round now everyone
Put your glass in the air
Sing along now everyone
We've got a reason to cheer
Take it in, breathe it in
We are about to begin

Make the choice to use your voice
But don't get lost in the noise

CHORUS
Skip classes, take chances, have fun
Cuz when it's over, it is done
Skip classes, take chances, have fun

How did this come to an end
We shouldn't have to pretend
Everything we know could change
Will you remember my name
I hope you do honestly
I'll keep you in my memory

Make the choice to use your voice
But don't get lost in the noise

CHORUS
Skip classes, take chances, have fun
Cuz when it's over it is done
Skip classes, take chances, have fun

I have waited so long
To write this song for you
I hope you like it
I have waited so long
To write this song for you
I hope you like it
I have waited so long
To sing this song with you
I know that you'll like it

CHORUS
Skip classes, take chances, have fun
Cuz when it's over, it is done
Skip classes, take chances, have fun

My Grandpa said to me,
"grandson sit down we need to talk
In life, there may be times when it gets hard to walk the walk.
It's easier to take the path that most have traveled on.
But then again sometimes to do what's right you must walk alone."

And that is a lonely road
Ohh
When this world burns down
Deep in your soul
Ohh
You will find there's a piece left behind
You will find there's a piece to find
(Piece to find)

Some people are unkind to those who see things different, oh
We've all felt pain in ways it hurts to even bring it up
But that don't mean that patience
Take this motion lying down
I'll stand and fight until the day they put me in the ground

And that is a lonely road
Ohh
When this world burns down
Deep in your soul
Ohh
You will find there's a piece behind
You will find there's a piece to find
(Piece to find)

And now I've taught you all I know
So take this seed and let it grow
Though I'm here now, I'll soon be gone
I did what I can to try it make it strong
(I did what I can to try it make it strong)
(I can see that you're strong)

And that is a lonely road
Ohh
When this world burns down
Deep in your soul
Ohh
You will find there's a piece behind
You will find there's a piece to find
(Piece to find)

(Such a lonely road)
And that is a lonely road
Ohh
When this world burns down
Deep in your soul
(Deep in your soul)
Ohh
You will find there's a piece behind
You will find there's a piece to find
(Piece to find)

I need this
Is it a good time for you
And if it’s not just know
I may not be here when you need me

Sometimes I feel like I would die without you
And if it’s too early don’t worry when I say I’m sorry now
Hang on to this moment
It will be all over soon

‘Cause I know you’ll wait for me
You’ll wait for me ‘til I get home
Yes, I know you’ll wait for me
You’ll wait for me ‘til I get home

Is this what life is supposed to be about?
Sometimes it’s hard, but I will help you understand it somehow
The only thing that I want from you is trust
Together we will make it through this world
We must

Hang on to this moment
It will be all over soon

‘Cause I know you’ll wait for me
You’ll wait for me ‘til I get home
Yes, I know you’ll wait for me
You’ll wait for me ‘til I get home

But if I should fall
Then you should move on
All eyes watch out for you from up above
Now don’t take this wrong
But you should move on
All eyes watch over you from up above

This could be the last time that I speak with you
Just in case let’s make the best of what we have until it’s through

‘Cause I know you’ll wait for me
You’ll wait for me ‘til I get home
Yes, I know you’ll wait for me
You’ll wait for me ‘til I get home
I get home

[Believe - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus]

Aren't these some times?
It's gotten bad, and it's been
Pressin’ on my mind
Got me feelin’ sad

But I know you know
That we could do more
But we just don't

Don't worry world
I feel your pain, and it’s a shame
My shoulders are hurt
And stressed from the pain

And I know you know
That you could do more
But you

And I still believe
That there is more love than hate
There's more heart than ache
And we are stuck in this great big world together

With a little bit of help from up above
And a sprinkling of love
We can break these chains
We will end these days

And I know you know
That you could do more
But you

And I still believe
That there is more love than hate
There's more heart than ache
And we are stuck in this great big world together

And I still believe
That there is a lot at stake, there's no time to wait
We can change the world if we try
We're gonna change it forever

You should join us
You, let it be you

Who will join us?
You, let it be you

And I still believe
That there is more love than hate
There's more heart than ache
And we are stuck in this great big world together

And I still believe
That there is a lot at stake
And there's no time to wait
We can change the world if we try
We're gonna change it forever

And I still believe
That there is more love than hate
There's more heart than ache
And we are stuck in this great big world together

And I still believe

Please aim slow
I know it's not like you
To take the fall
For anyone but yourself
Let me show you a world
That you've never seen
Let me help you around
What you meant to say
There is no time to waste
Well if I love you can't hesitate

Step right up
Shoot an arrow at the target
My heart is an easy thing for you to hit
Don't worry
If you miss I'll let you shoot again
My heart is an easy thing for you to win

Whoa you know you did it again
And everytime I hear your voice
Well you know i had no choice but to let you in
Life's short
Don't pretend

Let me show you a world
That you've never seen
Let me help you around
What you meant to say
There is no time to waste
Well if I love you can't hesitate

Step right up
Shoot an arrow at the target
My heart is an easy thing for you to hit
Don't worry
If you miss I'll let you shoot again
My heart is an easy thing for you to win
Step right up
Shoot an arrow at the target
My heart is an easy thing for you to hit
Don't worry
If you miss I'll let you shoot again
My heart is an easy thing for you to win

Step right up again
And if I love you can't hesitate
Step right up again
My heart is aching I can barely wait
Step right up again
When if I love you can't hesitate
Step right up again
My heart is aching I can barely wait

1,2 Let’s go!

There’s lots of crazy
crazy things this world, will offer you
And there’s no way to fake
what you’ve been through
So just hold on to what you know is true!

Pull me back again
I need you to pull me from myself
(Pull me from myself)
Pull me back again
I need you to pull me from myself
(Before I get out!)

It seems that there’s nowhere left to turn
It’s true
I’d like to think that we could help each other
As a pack of thing we’re going through!

Pull me back again
I need you to pull me from myself
(Pull me from myself)
Pull me back again
I need you to pull me from myself
(Before I get out!)

A kid came up to me now just the other day
And asked me if I thought about what I would say
If everything came crashing down on top of me
How would I stay torn?

Will you represent?
Will you stand close?
Will they shame you?
Will they blame you?

It's funny how the words of a child can be
Simple, but the thought there is so meaningful
Makes me wonder what I would say to me
In the eyes of another

Will you represent?
Will you stand close?
Will they shame you?
Will they blame you?

There's a consequence
For the path you chose
Will they change you?

Will they make you who you are?
Will they make you who you are?
Will they make you who you are?

Let the free world ride your way
In these times of darkened days
Let the free world ride your way
(let the free world ride your way)

You will represent
You'll stand close
They won't shame you
They won't change you

There's a consequence
For the path you chose
They can't change you
They can't make you who you are not.

This whole routine is getting old
So am I, and so are you
My reputation lets me know
I can do whatever I want to
Though it seems that you believe
You can do whatever it is you please
Know before, know before you wind up on your knees
Don't cry to me no more

You like the way that people stare at you
Now you look so fake,
just thought that you should know
And you're all the same,
and when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical

You set yourself up to the sold
and that's ok cause that's your role
Manipulation takes its toll
What will you do when nobody wants you
Though it seems that you believe
You can do whatever it is you please
Know before, know before you wind up on your knees
Don't cry to me no more

You like the way that people stare at you
Now you look so fake,
just thought that you should know
And you're all the same,
and when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical

I know, I've stood so long beside you
And I know, I should've left you right where I had found you
I know, I've stood so long beside you
And I know, I should've left you right where I had found you

You like the way that people stare at you
Now you look so fake,
just thought that you should know
And you're all the same,
and when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical

You like the way that people stare at you
Now you look so fake,
just thought that you should know
And you're all the same,
and when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical

Seem to found a familiar face
In a place where they're no name
And we learn to appreciate
All the things we take in vain

Hold on tight and enjoy the ride girl
This is all that we get (That you get girl)
It feels right and I know you can tell
I'm not going to lie (This is no spell)

I'm not worried and I'm not afraid
What we have should be displayed
No matter what the others may say
We will always stay this way

Hold on tight and enjoy the ride girl
This is all that we get (That you get girl)
It feels right and I know you can tell
I'm not going to lie (This is no spell)
This is no spell
This is no spell

When all the world is gone and dead
I'll still be the one to hold your hand
When all the world is gone and dead

Hold on tight and enjoy the ride girl
This is all that we get (That you get girl)
It feels right and I know you can tell
I'm not going to lie (This is no spell)

Hold on tight and enjoy the ride girl
This is all that we get (That you get girl)
It feels right and I know you can tell
I'm not going to lie
This is no spell

When all the world is gone and dead
I'll still be the one to hold your hand
When all the word is gone and dead

I see the sweat is dripping
That's because you know just what
I'm thinking
Don't look back it's me
who follows
And there ain't nothing from me you
can borrow
You like to hide behind lies
But we see through your disguise
It's not a threat or a curse
Just a proper verse
I'm gonna make you let go
Of what you tried to withhold
And I can promise it won't be long
Yes I can promise
Boy you better pray
We don't seek you out no
You better pray
You think the war is over
I've only shown you
the tip of the iceberg
And you rely upon your lawyers
But at night when you
sleep does it bother you
You like to hide behind lies
But we see through your disguise
It's not a threat or a curse
Just a proper verse
I'm gonna make you let go
Of what you tried to withhold
And I can promise it won't be long
Yes I can promise
Boy you better pray
We don't seek you out no
You better hope
We might lose control no
Is this good enough for you man
Is this good enough for you man
Is this good enough for you man

Is this good enough for you man
Boy you better pray
We don't seek you out no
You better hop
We might lose control no

I remember a year ago I was standing in the crowd
waiting for my chance to break through, my chance to live again.

Now it seems I've found some friends who finally understand what it takes
to make this dream come true, we'll be here till the end.

Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
come dance with me and don't you fake it.

Shake it, break it get off your feet,
get close to me and don't you fake it.

Shout and scream my friends, connect with me and we'll pretend
this night will never end (wo oh) this night will never end.
Just let go you'll see together we'll do anything
this night will never end (wo oh) this night will never end.

Oh, wish I could thank you all for what you have done
and all of the things that you have shared with me.
Oh, wish I could take you all too where I must go wish I could take you all
I'll take you with my heart.

"Dance, get on the floor, shake, get on the floor, break, get on the floor"
(repeat)

Shake it, break it, get off your feet
come dance with me and don't you fake it
Shake it, break it get off your feet
get close to me and don't you fake it.

I'm reaching out here to show you what we've been through
I think there's something we can share, that's completely new
or maybe I'm just insane
Shake it break it get off your feet

When I see your smile
Tears roll down my face
I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me
I can be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay
It's okay
It's okay

Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing and stars are falling
All for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

'Cause you're my, you're my
My true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
'Cause I'm here for you
Please don't walk away
And please tell me you'll stay
Yeah....whoa....stay....whoa....ohh....

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be ok
Though my skies are turning grey (grey....)

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
(I will never let you fall...)

Once there was a time when we could learn
all the simple pleasantries a follower should yearn
now all that I can do is watch them burn
and wish that I could save them all, or just one

See the Fake, everyday shaking hands of men, promising the end.
Hear Him Speak of all the things that we need to hear, to adhere

Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?

The visions that I've seen have left me torn
between the resurrection and the prophecy unborn
I think that I will document the fall
and say I hate to say it, but I told you all

See the Fake, everyday shaking hands of men, promising the end
Hear Him Speak of all the things that we need to hear, to adhere.

Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries,
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries,
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?

Your side, choose wise
Your side, watch the change in time, when you whisper..
you still blame, is my message clearer?

Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?

When you change your mind is it going to end?

Well she never was the best, yeah, at following the trends
Stayed one step above the rest
And even though it seemed
Like the world was crashing on her
Didn't let it hold her down
Didn't hold her back
Oh no....whoa....

Don't worry you'll show them
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn until you're heard
You're heard

Seventeen is just a test, yeah, and i would recommend
That you live with no regrets
And even if it seems
Like the world was crashing on you
You shouldn't let it hold you down
Shouldn't hold you back
Oh no....whoa....

Don't worry you'll show them
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn until you're heard
You're heard

Relax, girl
Turn down the lights
No one can see you shining

Relax, girl
It'll be alright
No one can stop you if you try

Point of rhythm is to fall away in time
To listen to the beating in your mind
And if you will seek then you shall find
Whoa....

There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn until you're heard
You're heard

There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn until you're heard
Until you're heard
Until you're heard

Don't tell me that this is your last chance to change
'Cause if you do, then you would be telling a lie
But
I warned you
What could happen if you should decide
To live your life from 9 till 5
And I mourn you
For that detail that is left unsaid
Is a reminder of the time you bled
Return to days when you knew you still felt alive
Reveal the way you felt when you could look inside
They sold you
Everything you need to fix you up
And you feel good now but you can't wake up
They found a way to reassure you (that everything would be okay)
Reach out today now I implore you to remember who you are
Return to days when you knew you still felt alive
Reveal the way you felt when you could look inside
So you felt it but you don't know
Why you can't explain at all
Why you felt it 'cause you don't know
No, you don't know
Break the walls between building atrophy
Causing all your problems to recede
Break the walls between (break the walls between)
Causing all your pain (causing all)
You'll never learn
Return to days when you knew you still felt alive
Reveal the way you felt when you could look inside
(Break the walls between building atrophy)
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought

(Causing all your problems to recede)
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought
(Break the walls between)
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought
(Causing all your pain)
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought

The moon is shining bright
The mood is feeling right
I'll kiss you on your neck
People will stare but we won't care
We're high above the ground
We're nowhere to be found
Empowered by adrenaline
Feel like I'm born again
Again I am repeating myself
And I know it is time for you
To sit and pretend

Damn regret
I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me
'Cause I'll be fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you'd persuade me to let you go?

I'm wishing you were here
My weakness is my fear
Alone I am myself
No reason left for me to care
Distracted by the sound
I hear footsteps all around
Empowered by adrenaline
Feel like I'm born again
Again I am repeating myself
And I know it is time for you
To sit and pretend

Damn regret
I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me
'Cause I'll be fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you'd persuade me to let you go?

You're the only one I turn to
When I feel like no one's there
And when I'm lonely in my darkest hour
You give me the power
To sit and pretend

Damn regret
I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me
'Cause I'm real fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you'd persuaded me to let you go?

Did you think I'd forget?
Did you think I'd surrender myself to persuade you to let me go?

Did you think I'd forget?
Did you think I'd surrender myself to persuade you to let me go?

Softly we tremble tonight,
picture perfect fading smiles are all that's left in sight,
I said I'd never leave you'll never change
I'm not satisfied with where I'm at in life.

Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
You said, you said that you would die for me.

We made plans to grow old,
believe me there was truth in all those stories that I told.
Lost in a simple game cat and mouse are we the same people as before this came to light?

Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
You said, you said that you would die for me.

You must live for me too
For me too, yeah, yeah
You said that you would die for me…

Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
You said, you said that you would die for me.

It's true, we are
we are destined to fail
It's true, we are
we are destined to fail

There is a problem here with our society
The absence of my tears is my sobriety
I have a growing fear and you're not helping me
Am I the only one who realizes it's true?

Beat but I'm not broken
Guide me through with your hand
Lead with your words spoken
Show me how to listen

You're persecuting me, showing hypocrisy
I have a remedy for your insecurity
It's all the same, sadly, nobody works for free
Am I the only one who realizes it's true

Beat but I'm not broken
Guide me through with your hand
Lead with your words spoken
Show me how to listen

Let your light shine through me
Take this hate I can't release
Help me make the blind see
Misery loves its company

When I dream, I see dawn turn into dusk, into dusk

Beat but I'm not broken
Guide me through with your hand
Lead with your words spoken
Show me how to listen

Let your light shine through me
Take this hate I can't release
Help me make the blind see
Misery loves its company

It's true, we are
we are destined to fail
It's true, we are
we are destined to fail
