Save ourselves

Your newfound light
has cast a shadow on your heart (your heart)
I think you've lost touch with who you are
and maybe I don't want to watch you fail
maybe I don't want to watch you fall
was it worth it just to push us away
have you found what you were looking for
you think that you've been saved by stories
but we've all gotta save ourselves (save ourselves)
open your eyes and free your conscience
you're dying in your holy shell
ascetic voyages are awfully lonely
are you sure an island's what you seek
if you're alone in the kingdom you've striven for
are you sure this path is what you need
maybe we don't want to see you dying
maybe we don't want to watch you fade away
but you've become some kind of hollow shell
that rings like a church bell
you think that you've been saved by stories
but we've all gotta save ourselves
open your eyes and free your conscience
you're dying in your holy shell
can you feel the rain
can you feel the rain oh
can you feel the rain
would some teardrops help you see
that the joy that you once had
has been swallowed by your trinity
you think that you've been saved by stories
but we've all gotta save ourselves (save ourselves)
open your eyes and free your conscience
you're dying in your holy shell
you're choking on your ringing church bells
gnashing like you've seen hell (seen hell)
I wish that I could reach right through this
grab your hand and pull you back
but I know you've gotta save yourself

Faces in the dark
I've crossed oceans just to find you
thumb burnt on the heart
do you blink at the sight
do you tremble with might
we'll have to let it all out
spill the words on the ground between us
there was a fire that burned behind your eyes
and it stung like a smile
and it cut like a knife
in the dark
in the dark
you are not who I thought you would be
in the dark
in the dark
well I thought that I found someone else like me
this might leave a scar
but it's what it will take to heal us
this game's gone too far
we don't talk any more
our blood's dried to the core
there was a fire that burned behind your eyes
and you let the flames consume you
there was a fire that burned behind your eyes
and it stung like a smile and it cut like a knife
in the dark
in the dark
you are not who I thought you would be
in the dark
in the dark
well I thought that I found someone else like me
in the dark (in the dark)
in the dark (in the dark
you are not who I thought you would be
in the dark (in the dark)
in the dark (in the dark)
well I thought that I found someone else like me (in the dark in the dark)
in the dark
in the dark
in the dark (you are not who I thought you would be)
in the dark
in the dark
well I thought that I found someone else like me

Innocent world

We'd do the right thing in an innocent world
and oh it makes my blood just curdle
the way we leave each other gasping for air
cause you know this is no innocent world
time is running out
and the air is thin
there's no doubt baby
this is it
it's now or never
in an innocent world we'd probably
have no fear at all
in an innocent world we might just
heed the call
but you know it's not an innocent world
We'd do the right thing in an innocent world
and oh it makes my blood just curdle
the way we leave each other gasping for air
cause you know it's not innocent world
We'd do the right thing in an innocent world
and oh it makes my blood just curdle
we leave each other bleeding out on the ground
cause you know it's not innocent world
we're not so helpless as we feel inside
and all want to do is right
might not be easy but we have to try it
cause you know there is no other way
We'd do the right thing in an innocent world
and oh it makes my blood just curdle
the way we leave each other gasping for air
cause you know it's not innocent world
We'd do the right thing in an innocent world
and oh it makes my blood just curdle
we leave each other bleeding out on the ground
cause you know it's not innocent world
We'd do the right thing in an innocent world
and oh it makes my blood just curdle
the way we leave each other gasping for air
cause you know this is no innocent world
We'd do the right thing in an innocent world
and oh it makes my blood just curdle
we leave each other bleeding out on the ground
cause you know this is no innocent world

It's not too late

She's staring out the window
watching gusts of wind
reflections in the window
of what she could have been
she hears the sound of the city breathing
as the days pull by
through the window she looks for meaning
while she dies inside
it's not too late
it's not too late
to lose our minds
it's not too late
it's not too late
to turn back time
it's not too late
it's not too late
to take that step at last
it's not too late
it's not too late
to die before our time
still staring out the window
with her sleepless eyes
she'll never look within though
she'll just wonder why
watching others find their meaning
in midnight lies
or prisons made from prayers and hopes divine
it's not too late
it's not too late
to lose our minds
it's not too late
it's not too late
to turn back time
it's not too late
it's not too late
to take that step at last
it's not too late
it's not too late
to die before our time
to die before our time
to die before our time
to die before our time
to die before our time
each night she sees her fall
her back against the wall
she fears as do we all
that she might heed the call

Would you tell me that I'll make it if you thought it were a lie
would you say you'll always love me if you felt our love might die
cause I feel helpless while I'm waiting
like I'm running out of time
and I've been so run down lately
I can't tell you that I'm fine
oh I'm sorry I'm such a wreck
I'm sorry I'm so insecure
I promise I'm doing my best
I promise that I'll give you more
putting all my hope into another song
hope this'll be the one that'll take me far
thank you for sticking by my side
and if I don't make it
well at least I tried
thank you for believing in me now
more than I do now
yeah more than I do now
I'm at a low point
feel like giving up
but I know there's no point
no point in giving up
no if I don't make it
what point is there to be alive
so if I give up now won't make it when I'm older
if I keep going strong then I might get bolder
if I play this game someday I might win
if I give up now always ask myself
what if I didn't
it's all I ever wanted
sorry sorry sorry
I'm sorry that I'm so insecure
I hope you know I'll always love you
and I do think I'll be fine
I'm busy chasing dreams
but hope you know
I feel you by my side
you give me strength when I feel useless
like my dreams are much too far
and when you tell me you believe in me
I feel I'll be a star
thank you for believing in me now
I really don't see how
you see me in this light
thank you for believing in me now
more than I do now
yeah more than I do now
thank you for believing in me now
more than I do now
yeah more than I do now
