Ignorance




If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle
A mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well sentence me to another life

[Chorus]
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
Cause you know we're not the same, we're not the same
Oh we're not the same
The friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good(x2)

You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend(x2)

This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person but you can't take it
The same tricks that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Now I can fend for myself

[Chorus]

Ignorance is your new best friend(x4)

[Chorus]

Brick By Boring Brick






She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies
With her feet on the ground

And her head in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba da ba

So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck 12
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
or the wolves gonna blow it down
With her feet on the ground

And her head in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
If it's not real
You can't see it with your eyes
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
Cause if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah
Go get your shovel
We'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba da ba...

Careful


I settled down
And twisted apart
Disguised as a smile, well
You would have never known
I had it all
But, back when I wanted
This over me
Was a place uncharted
And overgrown

And when you made your way in
I resisted just like this

You can't tell me to heal
The truth never set me free
So, I did it myself

[Chorus]
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach a little more
More (x4)

I gave you lies
I got, "You'll be mine,
It's only the real world."
Like you will never will know
Shifting your weight
To throw off the pain
You can ignore it
But, only for so long

You look like I did
You resisted just like this

You can't tell me to heal
And, it hurts remembering
How it felt to shut down

[Chorus]

The truth never set me free (x3)
So, I'll do it myself

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out
Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out
More (x5)

Playing God


Can't make my own decisions or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up so I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I been changing, that I'm not just simply aging
Yeah how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat

Oh oh oh ohhhh

You don't have to believe me,
but the way I way I see it
next time you point a finger,
I might have to bend it back
or break it break it off
whoa
next time you point a finger
I hope it's at the mirror.

If God's the game you're playing, then we must get more acquainted,
It must be so lonely... to be the only one who's holy
It's just my humble opinion, but one I firmly believe in
You don't deserve a point of view, if the only thing you see is you.

Turn It Off


I scraped my knees when i was praying
And found a demon in my safest haven, seems like
It's getting harder to believe in anything
And just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts

I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light?
But turn it off
In all my spite(x2)

I'll turn it off
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall i will realize
I'm better off when i hit the bottom

The tragedy it seems unending
I'm watching everyone i looked up to break and bending
We're taking short cuts and false solutions
Just to come out the hero

Well i can see behind the curtain
The world's cranking, turning, so wrong the way we're working
Towards a goal, that's nonexistent
It's nonexistent, but we just keep believing

And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall i will realize
I'm better off when i hit the bottom

I wanna know what it'll be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light?
But turn it off
In all my spite(x2)

I'll turn it off
Just turn it off

Again..(x2)

And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall i will realize
I'm better off when i hit the bottom(x2)

The Only Exception


When i was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And cursed at the wind
He broke his own heart
And i watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that i promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist
But darlin,

You, are, the only exception(x4)

Maybe i know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And i've always lived like this
Keeping it comfortable, distance
And up until now
I'd sworn to myself that I'm content
With loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk, but

You, are, the only exception(x4)

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know your leaving in the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream Oh..

You, are, the only exception(x8)

And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing

Felling Sorry


We still live in the same town, well, don't we?
But I don't see you around anymore.
I go to all the same places, not even a trace of you...
Your days are numbered at 24.
And I'm getting bored waiting round for you,
We're not getting any younger, and I
Won't look back 'cause there's no use
It's time to move forward!

[Chorus]
I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave!
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time for feeling sorry!

I tried not to think of what might happen,
When your reality, finally, cuts through.
Well, as for me, I got out and I'm on the road.
The worst part it that this (THIS! ), this could be you.
You know it too, you can't run from your shame!
You're not getting any younger, time,
Is passing by, but you waited awake...
It's time to roll over!

[Chorus]

And all the best lies,
They are told with fingers tied!
So cross them tight,
Won't you promise me tonight
If it's the last thing you do, you'll get out...

I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave.
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time, I've got no time!

I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
Got no time!

I've got no time for feeling sorry (x2)

Looking Up


Things are looking up, oh finally!
I thought I'd never see the day when you smile at me
We always pull through
oh when we try,
I'm always wrong but you're never right.
You're never right!

Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this!
It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh..
It's not a dream anymore! It`s worth fighting for.
Could have given up so easily
I was a few cheap shots away from the end of me
Taken for granted, almost everything that I would have died for
Just yesterday (x2)

Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this!
It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh..
It's not a dream anymore! Its worth fighting for.

God knows the world doesn`t need another band, (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
But what a waste it would`ve been! (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
I can't believe we almost (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
We're just getting started (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)

Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this!
It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh..
It's not a dream anymore! It`s worth fighting for

Where The LInes Overlap


Give me attention
I need it now
Too much distance
To measure it out
Out loud
Tracing patterns across a personal map
And making pictures
where the lines overlap(x2)

No one is as lucky as us
We`re not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us

Call me over
Tell me how you got so far
Never making a single sound
I`m not used to it but I can learn
Nothing to it
I`ve never been happier

No one is as lucky as us
We`re not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us

Now I`ve got a feeling if I sang this loud enough you would sing it back to me

No one is as lucky as us
We`re not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us

Misguied Ghosts


I'm going away for a while
But I'll be back, don't try to follow me,
'Cause I'll return as soon as possible
See I'm trying to find my place,
But it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistakes

And run
From them, from them,
With no direction
We'll run from them, from them,
With no conviction.
'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts,
Travelling endlessly
Don't need no roads
In fact they follow me
And we just go in circles.
Now I'm told that this life,
And pain is just a simple comprimise,
So we can get what we want out of it
Would someone care to classify,
Our broken hearts and twisted minds,
So I can find someone to rely on.

And run,
To them, to them
Full speed ahead.
Oh, you are not useless.
We are just...

Misguided ghosts,
Travelling endlessly
The ones we trusted the most,
Pushed us far away.
And theres no one road,
We should not be the same.
But I'm just a ghost,
And still they echo me.
They echo me in circles.

All I Wanted


Think of me when you're out, when you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
When the world treats you way too fairly
It's a shame i'm a dream

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
And wake up early to black and white re-runs?
That escaped from the mouth

Oh-Oh

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning
And just relive the start
And maybe then we'll remember to slow down
To all of our favorite parts

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
