From First To Last

Little soul,
Your dreams are waiting,
Grab them up,
Hold them closely,
Never let go,
Never let go.

Little soul,
You're finally here to live and breathe,
Your every fear of love and hate,
Smile and touch,
Hope, despair,
Loathing and lust.

Who we are,
What we all are,
It's nothing but a point of view
(Who we are)
It's nothing but a point of view

Life's waiting here for me,
But I keep pushing away,
And I'm left alone here wondering,
Is there more to this?,
More than the stars above,
Our heads and earth beneath our feet.

If you will it, there is no chain.

Who we are,
What we all are,
It's nothing but a point of view
(Who we are)
It's nothing but a point of view

Who we are,
What we all are,
It's nothing but a point of view
(Who we are)
It's nothing but a point of view

We all turn back to dust.
(Back to dust) (Back to the beginning)
We all burn back to dust.
(Back to dust) (Back to the beginning)

(Back to the beginning)

Little soul,
Your dreams are waiting,
Grab them up,
Take them with you,
Never let go,
Never let go.

Who we are,
What we all are,
It's nothing but a point of view
(Who we are)
It's nothing but a point of view

Who we are,
What we all are,
It's nothing but a point of view
(Who we are)
It's nothing but a point of view

two as one
a slight addiction
are we stuck
in the routine of this
but still more nights they come and go
the world keeps spinning all I know I know
its just you and me

two as one
for all the nights we missed
fuck if I wasn't such a pessimist
this chapter could've played out differently
one for all the nights we missed
fuck if I wasn't such a pessimist
this chapter would've played out differently
this chapter would've played out differently

dig behind
the bones to get down to the core
and how do I get into such a tight locked door
how many times can I take that look
the best outcome that's from the worst the worst
of you and me

two as one
for all the nights we missed
fuck if I wasn't such a pessimist
this chapter could've played out differently
one for all the nights we missed
fuck if I wasn't such a pessimist
this chapter would've played out differently
this chapter would've played out differently

this chapter would've played out differently

Swimming in a see of green
Nothing ever changes in this asshole scene
I think I'll take a hit and run
To get ready for when the apocalypse comes
To get ready for when the apocalypse comes

Try, I know you try, I know you try to bring me down
With every word, I know the cure, but I won't let you go
Without an answer

Come on and look at the other side
Look at the other side, give it away
Come on and look at the other side
Look at the other side, so take your fucking chance!

Try, I know you try, I know you try to bring me down
With every word, I know the cure, but I won't let you go

Come on and look at the other side
Look at the other side, give it away
Come on and look at the other side
Look at the other side, so take your fucking chance!

We'll give it away
Yeah, give it away

If this is our fate
If this is our fate
Free yourself from the doubt in your route!
You're inches away, away
You'll kick and you'll scream
They'll claw at your feet
To lead you astray
To lead you astray
They'll lead you astray
They'll lead you astray

Come on and look at the other side
Look at the other side, give it away
Come on and look at the other side
Look at the other side, so take your fucking chance!

We'll give it away
Yeah, give it away

We'll give it away
We'll give it away

We pave the roads we take
We bend before we break
Across the world with you
Across the world with you
The love you never found
Was right here all along
Waiting here for you
Waiting here for you
When words mean nothing I'll be here singing On and on and on and on
Worlds away I'll still be singing On and on and on and on
I know you feel like you've come to far
But you can always trace your steps back to the start
Tearing down what you had tried to build
Sometimes earthquakes have a chance to kill
When words mean nothing I'll be here singing On and on and on and on
Worlds away I'll still be singing On and on and on and on
When words mean nothing I'll be here singing On and on and on and on
Whoa
Worlds away I'll still be singing On and on and on and on
Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa
When words mean nothing I'll be here singing On and on and on and on
Worlds away I'll still be singing On and on and on and on

This is your day with a whole world to face
What is your price to appease?
You can march to the beat that puts us to sleep
Medicinal reality

All my life
I've been searching for hope to find
Something more than just pawns in a chess game
And blood stained names
Just fall in line
Fall in line

Can you feel the weight of two decades to date
All crashing down on you now?
You can march to the beat that puts us to sleep
Medicinal reality

All my life
I've been searching for hope to find
Something more than just pawns in a chess game
And blood stained names
Just fall in line
Fall in line

Free from the womb with only a name
Make something of yourself
Before you're made a slave
'Cause life will not wait
Life will not wait
The sun's gonna rise either way

March to the beat that puts us to sleep
Medicinal reality

All my life
I've been searching for hope to find
Something more than just pawns in a chess game
And blood stained names
Just fall in line
Fall in line

Well, well look at you
little Miss has to pick the wounds
and that's so literal, and you're so critical
well if you feel like there's cause to be cold you can straddle the stove
I'm a man not a handbag, a friend not a servant
is it hell being right all the time?

I wouldn't call this dating
I'll get to know you the hard way
Life's bitter-sweet, that's what they say

Well, well, well with a woman like you who needs to get out of bed
Well, well, well with a woman like you who needs to have any friends
Come whisper in my ear a secret so profound I'll forget to write it down
Now I'm left here with, the memory of the best and worst thing I'll ever love

I wouldn't call this dating
I'll get to know you the hard way
Life's bitter-sweet, that's what they say
I wouldn't call this dating
I'll get to know you the hard way
Life's bitter-sweet, that's what they say

Aren't we a perfect mess
Aren't we a perfect mess
Aren't we a perfect mess
Aren't we a perfect mess

I wouldn't call this dating
I'll get to know you the hard way
Life's bitter-sweet, that's what they say
I wouldn't call this dating
I'll get to know you the hard way
Life's bitter-sweet, that's what they say
That's what they say
Some things will never change
Some things will never

Aren't we a perfect mess
Aren't we a perfect mess
Aren't we a perfect mess
Aren't we a perfect mess

A breathe of fresh air
Fuels the flame
It's all going up anyway

Everything's gotta burn to get back
To it's purest state
And all the best
Has yet to be laid to waste

I'm just waiting for the future
To swallow me whole
I'm just waiting for the future
To swallow me whole
I'm just waiting
I'm just waiting for the future
To swallow me whole

I'll show you all the things
That you can't see
With your eyes wide open
Are you looking for love
Are you looking for some substance

Everything's gotta burn
To get back to its purest state
All the best has yet to be laid to waste

I'm just waiting for the future
To swallow me whole
I'm just waiting for the future
To swallow me whole
I'm just waiting
I'm just waiting for the future
To swallow me whole
[x2]

Well baby there are the ones, and then there is us.
Who stumble mad through the night.
With the constellation.
Get it, Get in.
Everybody wants some.
you won't be much different.

We need deliverance!
Give us deliverance!

Let's rip off the bandage.
Open our arms like a wound.
We can embrace the truth.

I'm trying to tell you the grass isn't always greener.
I'm trying to tell you the grass isn't always greener,
from our side of the fence.

Let's all sing the tune.
A declaration of the truth
and let's all scream the song.
the melody to our call of arms.

Let's rip off the bandage.
Open our arms like a wound.
We can embrace the truth.

I'm trying to tell you the grass isn't always greener.
I'm trying to tell you the grass isn't always greener,
from our side of the fence.

Get real, get free.
If you can live with yourself then the rest will proceed. [x2]

Get real [x4]

Let's rip off the bandage.
Open our arms like a wound.
We can embrace the truth.

I'm trying to tell you the grass isn't always greener.
I'm trying to tell you the grass isn't always greener,
from our side of the fence.

I'd be a lying man if I said that "Everything was fine,"
But sometimes lying's really the truth in disguise.
I've come to find my heart isn't right with my soul
Two different loves with a similar glow

I'm two steps away from my subtle smooth escape.
And opportunity is knocking on my door
I call in sick today
I regret all my mistakes
And opportunity is knocking on my door

I'm a tyrant you're a crook
And we're all just selfish for a line with a hook
And there's nothing in this ghost town but the cries and the souls that we've found

I'm two steps away from my subtle smooth escape.
And opportunity is knocking on my door
I call in sick today
I regret all my mistakes
And opportunity is knocking on my door
I'm two steps away from my subtle smooth escape.
And opportunity is knocking on my door
I call in sick today
I regret all my mistakes
And opportunity is knocking on my door

What a mess I become
I'm not sure if I'm the right one
It's not just me; it's my whole generation,
Generation,
Generation

I've come to find my heart isn't right
I've come to find my heart isn't right with my soul.
With my soul,
With my soul,
With my soul

I'm two steps away from my subtle smooth escape.
And opportunity is knocking on my door
I call in sick today
I regret all my mistakes
And opportunity is knocking on my door
And opportunity is knocking on my door
And opportunity is knocking on my door

Reaching around my pockets
For the right words
It's been a long couple of years
Draggin' ass for a dollar
here and there
Just looking for a minute
or a thank you for the effort
I don't care to be here
Cause my time, my time is running out
to be here
Cause my time, my time, is running out

The sun's too fat to climb up the horizon
Fuck it
It's been too long a walk, a walk, a walk
To not be headed anywhere
(headed anywhere)
Not be headed anywhere
Too long a walk, a walk, a walk
To not be headed anywhere
(be headed anywhere)
Not be headed anywhere

I've just been digging all around
For something like the truth
That luxury that writhes in all its fleeting, fading hues
But in the meantime I'll say thanks
My mind, my mind is running out
I appreciate the extra weight
My mind, my mind is running out

The sun's too fat to climb up the horizon
Fuck it
It's been too long a walk, a walk, a walk
To not be headed anywhere
(headed anywhere)
Not be headed anywhere
Too long a walk, a walk, a walk
To not be headed anywhere
(be headed anywhere)
Not be headed anywhere

Too far along have I come (come)
Too far along to give up (up)
Too far along have I come (come)

Clarity
Please speak to me
Clarity
Please speak to me

I've had this feeling so long
Let it out
I've had this feeling so long
Let it out
I've had, I've had

When everything is gone
When everything has fallen out of place
Who will remember me?
Who will remember me?
Who will remember..

When everything is gone
When everything has fallen out of place
Who will remember me?
Who will remember me?

A breathe of fresh air
Fuels the flame
It's all going up anyway

Everything's gotta burn to get back
To it's purest state
And all the best
Has yet to be laid to waste

I'm just waiting for the future
To swallow me whole
I'm just waiting for the future
To swallow me whole
I'm just waiting
I'm just waiting for the future
To swallow me whole

I'll show you all the things
That you can't see
With your eyes wide open
Are you looking for love
Are you looking for some substance

Everything's gotta burn
To get back to its purest state
All the best has yet to be laid to waste

I'm just waiting for the future
To swallow me whole
I'm just waiting for the future
To swallow me whole
I'm just waiting
I'm just waiting for the future
To swallow me whole

kill the lights!

hello ladies and gentleman,
I'm glad you've graced me with your presence
you're in time to see me wrestle with my consience
and staring into the s-s-s-silence

you see I came to save the stage,
I hope I'm not too late
passion called from back behind the curtain screaming,
"sonny this is urgent,

fill these 50 persons with a purpose,
but don't just give it away
inspiration isn't cheap these days,
you better make them earn it"

you better make them earn it!
(make them earn it)
you better make them earn it!
(make them earn it)

"sonny", she said, "save yourself the postage"
