Whenever I see your face you make my world go around Oh tell me everything I'll show you where the answers can be found Oh tell me Is everything that I am Everything I can't deny Or is everything that I am sung in this lullaby So take my hand We'll overcome what we don't understand Oh show me when What we are is the truth Because I just can't think straight When I'm with you Whenever I see your face you give me wings To fly away To a better place where the angels sing Oh tell me Is everything that you are Within me Or is everything that you are What I see So take my hand We'll overcome what we don't understand Oh show me when What we are is the truth Because I just can't think straight When I'm with you When I'm with you When I'm with you When I'm with you So take my hand We'll overcome what we don't understand Oh show me when What we are is the truth Because I just can't think straight When i'm with you And I just can't think straight When I'm with you When I'm with you

I don't know how many times I've felt this way I don't think I'll ever solve this mystery When all the pain and lies fade I still ask myself Is there a chance for me If only We could see It's never enough and it's not supposed to be I don't know how many times I've tried To find myself in someone else's eyes When all I need Is inside of me I don't even know what it is I am looking for It feels like I always want more When all the friends and memories fade I still ask myself Am I ready for change If only We could see It's never enough and it's not supposed to be I don't know how many times I've tried To find myself in someone else's eyes When all I need Is inside of me If only We could see It's never enough and it's not supposed to be I don't know how many times I've tried To find myself in someone else's eyes When all I need Is inside of me

The Darkness 03:06
lyrics

Lost and out of control I can't do this on my own Watch me as I fall Catch me if you have a heart at all And I have been here before Show me the pain and suffering I must endure And I will find my way Protect me as I will brave The darkness Trapped inside, living a lie I can't walk away as if we survived Watch me as you live your own life Catch me as I fall into strife And I have been here before Show me the pain and suffering I must endure And I will find my way Protect me as I will brave The darkness Show me I'm not alone Show me that this has made me grow As far as I can tell I have fallen down And I have been here before Show me the pain and suffering I must endure And I will find my way Protect me as I will brave The darkness The darkness The darkness As I will brave The darkness

Insecurities, Awkwardness I wish I wasn't so brave So they could just call me stupid But I will, try To entertain myself tonight Fuck it, fuck it There's nothing left to lose Fuck it, fuck it I'll be myself and you Can go back to where you came from From normal land Everyone else clap your hands Metaphors with, cleverness I can't afford to not be myself again Oh, but you'll see That being normal just isn't like me Fuck it, fuck it There's nothing left to lose Fuck it, fuck it I'll be myself and you Can go back to where you came from From normal land Where I'm been banished from forever, twice again So will you go on an adventure with me If you feel awkward I guess I'm doing my job right You're in trouble Because laughter is the reaction to everything, uncomfortable Like awkward silence *Ahem* Fuck it, fuck it There's nothing left to lose Fuck it, fuck it I'll be myself and you Can go back to where you came from From normal land Everyone else clap your hands Clap your hands

In this world of tears You're selfish You're nothing less Than your level of commitment You're so shallow You'd drown in the deep end So go ahead and say your words But the tide is coming back around You're so afraid You'd drown me just to save Yourself In this world of doubts You're not reliable You're nothing less Than your level of control You're so shallow You'd drown in the deep end So go ahead and say your words But the tide is coming back around You're so afraid You're drown me just to save Just to save Yourself Save yourself Save yourself So go ahead and say your words They mean nothing to me anymore The tide is coming back around Oh, you'll surely drown You're so afraid You'd hurt everyone else You'd drown me just to save Just to save Yourself Yourself You're so selfish You're so unreliable You're so shallow You'd drown in the deep end You'd drown in the deep end

Here I am again The breaking of a bond between two humans And I can't lie This hurts But after thinking it through There's so much more I want to do And I don't need you I can't lie I can't deny This may have been The best thing that ever happened to me again You're making me You're forcing me to be A better man A better man And I don't know where you are And I don't care where you are I will show you But I don't really feel the need to And I can't lie I can't deny This may have been The best thing that ever happened to me again You're making me You're forcing me to be A better man And this could have been The best thing that ever happened Oh, but I know It'll all work out in the end It'll all work out in the end This may have been The best thing that ever happened to me again You're making me You're forcing me to be A better man And this could have been The best thing that ever happened Oh, but I know It'll all work out in the end It'll all work out in the end In the end In the end It'll all work out In the end

I dream of a place Where everyone is loved the same And I will face my regrets Knowing that you will always love me And then I will see That I put my trust in the right place Oh trusting you, I know you'll trust me It doesn't matter if they don't believe Because this feels like something Just between You and me When they don't know you I sure as love know you And I will face my ego Knowing that you will give me the truth And then I will see That I put my trust in the right place Oh trusting you, I know you'll trust me It doesn't matter if they don't believe Because this feels like something Just between You and me Oh self denial washing away As I become someone I had only dreamed to be Facing my pain knowing it's only a part of me And we both agree Oh trusting you, I know you'll trust me It doesn't matter if they don't believe Because this feels like something Just between You and me You and me You and me Just between You and me

Narcissist 04:39

Look at me as if I'm less As if you're so perfect You set me up to fall And I knew you wouldn't catch me at all So far so close Enough to see the truth Putting yourself first As if I would ever harm you You narcissist I don't think I can take this Suffocating Buried in your greed You narcissist I don't think I can live this Way that you have been before me You're selfish and I hope you finally see This is the life of being lonely Walk away as if It was my choices that drove you Oh I know you can take it Knowing that I have always cared about you Use me as if I meant nothing to you Oh smile like nothing's wrong But the lies and manipulation have said it all You narcissist I don't think I can take this Suffocating Buried in your greed You narcissist I don't think I can live this Way you have been before me You're selfish and I hope you finally see This is the life of being lonely Let go of the pain that we all see Show yourself, it's okay In this world we accept others or fall from grace And I know you're hurting But I'm powerless in your eyes You know the truth Will hurt more when you realize You narcissist I don't think I can take this Suffocating Buried in your greed You narcissist I don't think I can live this Way that you have been before me You're selfish and I hope you finally see This is the life of being lonely This is the life of being lonely Lonely

Wake up every morning With a smile on my face Oh showing the world That I'm still trying And I've been happy before And I can do it again Living life for something more Is the key to happiness So wave goodbye to the places I have been I'm onto something so brilliant You can call me crazy, you can say you disagree But I know How to be happy I believe in hope Even if you don't I will make things right I don't care if you think I'm too nice And I've been happy before And I can do it again Living life for something more Is the key to happiness So wave goodbye to the places that I have been I'm onto something so brilliant You can call me crazy, you can say you disagree But I know How to be happy Oh!

Sink or Swim 03:31

Test the waters, to make sure That you're ready, for what's down under Oh pitch black, silence You can't escape, this deep abyss My thoughts surface as I turn them into tidal waves And now I am drowning If only I had learned to swim at a younger age This life is overwhelming There's only two options for me Sink or swim Sink or swim Test the waters, to make sure you're alive Fight past the cold, to make sure you try Oh truly forgotten, innocence You have to search for the light in these depths My thoughts surface as I turn them into tidal waves And now I am drowning If only I had learned to swim at a younger age This life is overwhelming There's only two options for me Sink or swim I could care less if I drown Sink or swim I'll wait to be found It's coming back to me The pain in my lungs as I can't breath Sink or swim I could care less if I drown Sink or swim I'll wait to be found It's coming back to me The pain in my heart as I can't do anything Sink or swim I'll search for my lighthouse Sink or swim I won't wait to be found It's coming back to me now The strength to overcome the fears I have found Sink or swim I'll search for my lighthouse Sink or swim I won't wait to be found It's coming back to me now The hope and faith I thought I'd lost somehow My thoughts surface as I turn them into tidal waves And now I am drowning If only I had learned to swim at a younger age This life is overwhelming There's only two options for me Sink or swim Sink or swim Sink or swim Sink or swim

I've waited so long Waiting to be here I see you smiling And girl you're making it hard not to stare And if someone told me I'd be so lucky I don't think I would believe them Oh run away with me We'll be given the chance That we always wanted Go ahead and change my story Oh show me you're real And I'll show you the same Your eyes got that spark That say it's just you and me And if I knew I'd be so lucky I don't think I would be ready Run away with me We'll be given the chance That we always wanted Go ahead and change my story Change my story Change my story And if I knew I would be so lucky I don't think I would ever be ready Run away with me We'll be given the chance That we always wanted Go ahead and change my story Change my story

Treat me right and I won't leave Treat me wrong and then I will see This place will be beautiful When I create it within me While giving the gift as soon as I can Changing the world is better than Breaking it Faking it Oh breath and believe As I fall apart I know finding myself will be the hardest part I will wait for the day When I can finally say I feel alive I feel alive My mistakes don't define me Just the choices that made me free Love yourself And you will finally see While giving the gift as soon as you can Changing the world is better than Breaking it Can you save this Oh breath and believe As you fall apart You know finding yourself will be the hardest part We will wait for the day When you can finally say You feel alive The fire in your eyes say it all Feel the passion, your final call It's over now, there's nothing left to say I can't believe it took us forever to find This place Oh breath and believe As we fall part We know finding ourselves will be the hardest part We will wait for the day When we can finally say Oh breath and believe As we fall apart We knew finding ourselves would be the hardest part We waited for the day When we could finally say We feel alive We feel alive Alive Alive
