All This and More
V1. There’s a promise from the fools,
that your hands will be, always kept clean.
When you can only believe in what,
seems to be, straight from your dreams.
Bridge: Now, take your leave knowing,
your senses will follow you home.
Are there really, those born defending,
or forever, needing to roam.
Chorus: Points with a face filled with hate,
but her eyes are still needing.
There here for the rich, not the poor,
though their backsides are bleeding.
To try to know how,
recollect every move, that sensation made.
Live and still die, with each sigh never heard,
that your laughter breaks.
(Instrumental Break)
V.2: Your mind is in the news of the world,
and you don’t wanna think.
To fall just short of asking, is there really a workable link,
in the critics and the writers,
and the swollen pride of all that black ink.
Bridge: Now, take your leave knowing,
your senses will follow you home.
Are there really, those born defending,
or forever, needing to roam.
Chorus: You’re here for what’s right,
and what’s more, you won’t try forgetting.
Don’t challenge who keeps all the scores,
although their not moving.
On canopy ground, still the mother will kill what the lover takes.
Random sounds fake, what in life cannot shake and truth can’t create.
(OUTRO)

FADE
v.1
The lines are drawn, like everything
every little thought you've had you know you'll never get to bring
every little moment in your life that you were meant to sing
Bridge:
The light is burning
all that glitters
leave us to scatter
only what matters.
Chorus:
In the end in the end in the end in the end in the end in the end
v.2
The change is found, it's not that real.
Why then can't you ever say just what you really wanna feel?
Know the road and sing the night
for everything you've ever sung.
in the end in the end in the end
(instrumental)
in the end in the end in the end
v.3
The silence changed when the lights came on
everything was fine until her love had torn the curtains down.
Hands are tied and we are blind
to everything you've ever done.
Every moment that is gone fades into the rising sun.
Chorus:

Wasted
V1.
Did you see them fall?
This is not the day, to see the world go up in flames.
See how life begins, crashing down around us.
Chorus
I’m wasted, I’m wasted, I’m stuck while our world keeps watching us drown.
I’m wasted, I’m wasted, I’m waiting here for us to stop crawling ‘round.
V2.
Did you see them fly?
Only they can feel, as cold light burns, ‘way the comfort zone.
What they always want, but never needing.
Chorus
I’m wasted, I’m wasted, I’m stuck while our world keeps turning around.
I’m wasted, I’m wasted, I’m waiting here for us to stop crawling ‘round.
I’m wasted, I’m wasted, I’m stuck while our world keeps watching us drown.
I’m wasted, I’m wasted, I’m waiting here for us to stop crawling ‘round.

VIVID
V1.
Rather feel safe, in a place that abandons.
Rather know who sees, in a row of desolation gone blind.
V2.
Like to have the views, and look what we’re missing
Life is not a comfort can we wear it like a new disease.
Chorus
See it all, see it rise.
See it fall, your disguise.
Used to beg, down the light.
Wonder with, the crowd you fight.
Are you here when it won’t let go
to wanna love what we still don’t know.
V3.
Wind goes through an alley, blood flows in your veins.
You say you’ve seen it all but not enough to ever say just how.
V4.
What stood in the light, is now in the shadows
I don’t know what to tell you, but-I- know- that it’s right somehow.
Chorus
See it all, see it rise.
See it fall, your disguise.
Used to beg, down the light.
Wonder with,
the crowd you fight.
Are you here when it won’t let go
wanna love what we still don’t know.

UNDERGROUND FAME
V1.
Who could want a reason, to deceive you?
Even if you aren’t all that is pure.
Motions in the ground say
How can we live this way?
Find a way to love her, when you’ve gone.
V2.
Notions of some desperate days ahead.
Still the world would love to, have you bled.
Dancing with Ophelia,
don’t let her swimming fool you.
She is in the moonlight,
everything is alright.
Chorus
Underground fame,
There is nothing to claim.
Underground fame,
There is nothing to blame.
Instrumental
V3.
Everyone’s on their own island shore,
shooting tides that drift in, their back door.
How I want to love you,
out of touch in their view.
You can’t lose what you have never found.
V4.
I don’t understand why, you can’t stay in here.
Where we’ll know our thoughts won’t let us down.
Closer to the ground here, under all the sound here.
Far away, the sun sets,
On your pain.
Chorus
Underground fame,
There is nothing to claim.
Underground fame,
There is nothing to blame.
