Places To Go 02:44
Everybody's looking for places to go But they're not looking in the right places at all And it's like that I wish it wasn't, but it is I wish I could do something about it baby, but you know They're not listening to me now anymore Oh, I can't believe you said that, man And it all happened oh so fast Well I guess I've said the same before But then I chose a different path And everybody's talking at me all at once Please in peace just let me pass Too much information in my head, yeah I do my best to not collapse Just wanna be with my baby again But do I really wanna see the aftermath Too much information in my head, yeah I do my best to not collapse Will you be there when I forget my name Or do you even care about the past Everybody's looking for places to go But they're not looking in the right places at all
2.
Ooh, I used to be worried But I'm not worried anymore If you still want to rip me to shreds And never again am I ever gonna let you keep me held down My sweet siren, the party's done, everybody's gone home After they're done taking all they can grab There's still one piece they'll never have And what will you call that It's my soul and I'm not throwing it out on the pavement So many vices we outta try Far too much fun to just push aside So control yourself, I borrowed some stars from the sky Cause down here we need the light For when the tides decide to take a turn Outside a stranger is awaiting on a mission And I never meant to get lost between the transmission We've made it this far now Beautiful eyes that deceive, what's in it for me Will you block out the noise And after they're done taking all that they can grab There's still one piece that they're never gonna have It's my soul and I'm not throwing it out So beautiful eyes that deceive, what's in it for me Will you help block out all the noise

Just another night it seemed Suddenly was all a dream She walked in casually with a glow oh-so blinding I just came to play, she just came to see What began was so hard to believe Closer she approaches, the harder to breathe Somehow I knew she was the love that I'd need Knocks me down every time I see her So glad she's beside me I let the love grow So let the love show A certain moment with a fat grip on my heart I keep it together for the team, I get lost in certain scenes Slam your foot on the gas A classic case of being lost in destruction From the sidelines, we all come rushing in Sorry it's not crystal for you yet Which one of us is crazier in our broken record summer And I care for your comfort But what about the bonds we created I'm looking back on everything I've been shown With a pile so high, man, what's the deal Yes, I should've kept my stupid lazy mouth shut My boss keeps telling me that the whole world's a shit hole But though I believe in that bubblegum world in my heart I think he's just looking for reaction, well here I am Mister, there you are and that is fact You're begging me to start a war, it's no bubblegum world Do I react I'm still intact Woah, is that a fact Are you here to attack With a pile so high, man, what's the deal
4.
Saints 03:20
They recognize the exceptional degree of holiness you show But is it truly deep inside of you Is that really how you wanna roll forever There's a process to make it real So do you realize the deeds been done So this is the road you choose Without a clue what that hall holds Could be angels all sat in a row and who do you really know Should you put trust into only one soul When it's impossible to see any proof for yourself So it's faith you're running on You could be running for the hills And you'll never be broken Though you're already gone From what I've been shown, it's so hard to believe You could ever hang with the saints And I'm so surprised you're alive, but here you stand And you wanna take your faith by hand Assuming it's as beautiful as they promise their brothers and sisters I never knew that it was so easy to be corrupted in today's age And I never knew Jesus had children, who had hid them A thief paying the price Right place, right time From what I've been shown, it's so hard to believe You could ever hang with the saints And I'm so surprised you're alive, but here you stand And you wanna take your faith by hand Together alone, I'm prone to being afraid You could never hang with the saints I've just known you too long in this life Never thought that was your style Was I wrong
5.
Mystery 03:55
She wears a crown everywhere she goes no one can see Kept a lesson from the night she thought she'd never ever be free again And he, he moved on, got a gig with a factory Laid low, trying to forget they say But how could you ever forget such a thing You need to tell somebody and I'm listening to you But will we ever truly know What really happened on that lonely night Knowing might help me sleep a little bit better tonight Were we on the wrong track all along And were the answers right in our palm Baby something's wrong So what should we believe Every day there's a new conspiracy Brought the kings down to their knees Secrets are leaked, there's always more and that's for sure I'm constantly searching for an answer The questions overflow, trying to stay in control So what we doing tonight, you guessed right I'm in no mood for a fight And I'm in no mood for losing light Will we ever truly know What really happened on that lonely night Knowing might help me sleep a little bit better tonight Were we on the wrong track all along And were the answers right in our palm Baby something's wrong Baby something's wrong And what if I don't understand I'm listening to all your fears Still here trying to understand your tears I'm here listening to you To you Help me understand I'm listening with fear patiently
6.
Driver 03:22
Will you have my back when I hit the road For not too long will I wanna be exposed I'm taking their test, I'm replaying their games Although their outcomes always end the same Someone's driving me, where we're headed I can't see With eyes wide open while still shut You claim to know me, I'm afraid you don't If there's a driver inside everyone of us Somebody tell me who's driving mine And why's he crashing all the time Am I keeping up, am I filling your cup So why you wanna pressure me, saying how I should walk and talk What's your angle? Paint the picture that you want Are you sure that I'm the one When all is said and done, just be up front Someone's driving me, where we're headed I can't see With eyes wide open while still shut You claim to know me well, but I'm afraid you don't And if there's a driver in everyone of us Somebody tell me who's driving mine And why's he crashing all the time Signals say we're going far Why you always crashing my car If there's a driver inside everyone of us Somebody tell me who's driving mine And why's he crashing all the time Mystery driver, slow your speed At this rate, we're never gonna get what we need I haven't learned a single thing after everywhere I've gone You do your deeds, but who's having your fun If what you say is true, I ask who's driving you But when all is said and done, who's driving who

Which Planet 04:26
So you heard it was easy out here, how you've been misinformed God knows I couldn't have done it on my own Couldn't be happier, I couldn't be more sad Is this rock bottom or the best days I'll never have So when you're looking back, aren't you glad we did it together And yes, we know you rather had done it alone Though when it's all clouds, none of it matters Once I get my feet on the ground again Once I make it out of the danger zone Will they go for good or will they never be gone Don't need tunnel vision at these make or break moments Aching and tired, we're gonna make it You've got history, might as well save it, man 'Cause we don't care We try not to hate too hard on the situations we can't control Though this time, it's safe to say this situation's far out of control Once we make it out of the danger zone Have we chose our destination So which planet do we set for With all the choices laid before us, we could never really choose now could we, no When we were still we could feel the planet caving in Our voices wouldn't make a sound Now we're on our way, the lights don't seem as dim as they did before So much destruction, trying to stay the course You make me mad, but I still love you Yes I know what you're capable of You make me mad, but I still love you And yes I know what you're capable of, yes I do Have we chose our destination So which planet are we gonna set for With all the choices laid before us, we could never really choose one Could we, no When we were still we could feel the planet caving in Our voices wouldn't make a sound Now we're on our way, the lights don't seem as dim as they did before So much distraction, trying to stay afloat When we would be still we could feel the planet caving in Our voices wouldn't make a sound Now we're on our way, the lights don't seem as dim as they did before I'm just trying to stay the course

Deep Blue 03:19
I haven't been here too long But I've never felt a place like this before Beyond the fog you say there is a lake Where you can choose to be reborn or to be remade Lady would you happen to know In which direction is the road Is it I'm lost or did I just arrive at home You can't explain what you're not trying to say Maybe we'll catch up around in town Maybe you'll figure out a way Don't jump into the abyss while carrying Sentimental feelings, I heard Well if you wanted to jump into the deep blue I guess you could if you wanted to and you do Do you remember Mr. Root He was always nearby in some way, shape or form Maybe he's always been around somehow In every generation to ever exist I'm throwing out all my lists, I'm marking off the grid Don't jump into the abyss while carrying Sentimental feelings, I heard Well if you wanted to jump into the deep blue I guess you could if you wanted to and you do And aren't you lost here with me And aren't you lost here with me Though completely separate reasons brought us We've both come here to settle a score And we all know what you wanna do, go ahead Jump into the deep blue After all, you're lost here with me too After all, you're lost here with me too
9.
I underestimated the pressure And caught in the storm again And when something gets in the way And nobody knows what to say You're awake all night wondering If you've forgotten everything you ever learned Don't wait too long Or what you came for may be gone It may be gone Now suddenly your mood has changed You tell me your brain's been drained While out searching for flame Is it cashing out or giving into your fears You can't say these were wasted years I was stuck on the same routine Thinking, where did I get lost Yes, I waited so long Thought what I came for was all gone Eventually I'd find It was beside me the entire time And that spark could return But what you've got to say, say it What is it that you really want to say Slowly, but surely, you assure me Until I get a call late last night You tell me something crawled back in the way And I never know the right things to say The solution seems unclear Try to remember why you're here So don't wait too long Or what you came for may be gone No more putting it off until later on So just don't wait too long Or what you came for may be long gone
10.
Do I 03:42
Collector of dreams Why don't you stop by much anymore All my life I've heard wake up and smell the roses Not the closest to the garden Guess I could take a few steps ahead Or should I stay in my safe zone instead After all, the calls from the inside I'm standing guard day and night Am I staying far too late Keep up your pace as you follow Can't tell if I'm real or hollow Important choice makes an arrival Why's that such a tough pill for me to swallow I'm strapped in for a thrill, ripped away from the ride Is it all done or are we going right back For another round Do you know we're not alone Have your belief, you can question it all, I'm wondering too Do you see the disconnect and somebody's late For a new view long overdue Do I see the world for what it is, what it is Do I see the world or is it around Somewhere am I hiding away Could we ever go back to how it was When they're rushing in faster than before So send all the backup you've got Fly the same speed of a jet plane Never learn the way back home Do I see the world or is it around Woah, somewhere it's hiding away Do I feel the wind lift me off my feet Do I believe they are who they claim to be Do I sense the deceit deep underneath Do I taste the apple when I bite down with my teeth Do I see the world
11.
Bite 04:51
Running as fast as he can Somebody stop that man I heard about what he has planned He's gonna show us all he can I know what I say You better get back, better find a new way Better find somebody that you love to call Cause this could quickly turn into an ugly brawl My neighbor told me yesterday Man, this isn't for you You should run away from here as fast as you can And away I ran to nowhere He said to me that day I could only sigh Tell him, later on, stepped back inside, turned out the lights Should I take his word Or do I believe everything I've ever heard I can't be taking it anymore I'm doing what I can But lately I've been feeling oh-so damn defeated Yes I feel Superman's in me sometimes But I can't say I never lied That's all I'm saying about the case Cause everybody's got a rat in that race They said to me that day And I could only sigh I said later on, stepped back inside, kept off the lights Don't be afraid to bite Cause everybody's got to bite sometimes I wish I could turn back time I wouldn't have said half of the things I did when I was out of line And did I try when I said I did Plenty will deny the case, but I should have said I quit Yes I should have But what if you just left me Didn't leave no message of any pain or any regret I would be so mad, man I'd call you up right then I see you've blocked my number from your line Are we gonna talk again I would be so mad Just to see it in your eyes that you wanna smile Here's the tears that you're gonna cry Here's an order that you must sign The dotted line, the dotted line Woah, anybody could tell you any day Don't be afraid to bite Cause everybody's gotta bite sometimes Everybody's gotta bite a little bit sometimes
12.
Have Ya 01:34
So for the end goal I want you to show me heart, and I'll show you soul I'm with ya, bad timing You're calling from a payphone to say you know me Apocalypse parks on the wrong street The surgeons wonder what's that sound surrounding Good question, though lately It seems I always get stuck underneath their shady tree How could we know what we were walking into, the worst scene But I had ya Hold on, quickly My Les Paul custom pro's been acting shifty I heard it more than nightly Kept it on 94.7 trying to hide me Taught me patience, told me stop sighing If you're still in sight I wish I was able to give you each and everything you wanted And everything you need While unbelievable is the truth that you're telling Do I have ya
13.
It's 7 a.m. and here we go again What's the excuse this time I'm gonna bring to my friend Last time he lied to me, I let him off easily But when I don't show, they all jump down my throat Can't understand how they hold me to these standards So what you even trying to do You better take your habits out of your morning Cause when you wake up, it's best to give you your space And at this time, you must be excused Cause you're certainly not yourself I left my coat in there, gotta walk down the hall But there's always something that makes me wanna stall And yes its all love, may our woes be gone But I don't wanna see that smirk you love to put on I could love you to the stars But I can't have ya no more You've got to take your habits out of your morning Cause when you wake up, it's best to stay out of your face And at this time, must you be excused Cause you're certainly not the one that I know, I'm letting go This is what You call continuing onward, oh yea And all I did was wake you up and tell you good morning I'm thinking about the time we took off to Detroit While you were asleep, I caught the dawn enter Then suddenly you awoke, no
