Take me my one and only If it only could be What's in my mind this time If you knew how, How much I cared for you It would only scare you So for now I'll stay right where I am Talk, Talk about it now Unlock this vault somehow I would love to help you up (But) that's a little tough when I'm already down This time let's avoid the heartbreak that comes with love It only takes one stupid choice to burn this bridge I'm unworthy of Pour our hearts out, What about this great thing we already got? Fortunately for you I'm saying this now before, Before it's too late Depend on your riches, You're only inches from the darkness you brew. You don't know me. Don't say you're sorry, Both light and dark you can't be, But yes, of course, 'it's not your fault' 'You were only raised this way' If that's the game we're gonna play, Looks like it's my turn to move. Talk, Talk about it now Unlock this vault somehow I would love to help you up (But) that's a little tough when I'm already down This time let's avoid the heartbreak that comes with love It only takes one stupid choice to burn this bridge I'm unworthy of Pour our hearts out, What about this great thing we already got? Fortunately for you I'm saying this now before, Before it's too late Twenty years of my life I won't get back from my jaded past. You should know who I am, Give me your story, And I will give you mine. Fortune sounds so worthless, Why do you want such an excess? Stabbing stone inside, Fighting every lie, I will tell you a truth: If you've fallen in love then pick yourself up. This time let's avoid the heartbreak that comes with love It only takes one stupid choice to burn this bridge I'm unworthy of Pour our hearts out, What about this great thing we already got? Fortunately for you I'm saying this now before, Before it's too late This time let's avoid the heartbreak that comes with love (Twenty years of my life I won't get back from my jaded past.) It only takes one stupid choice to burn this bridge I'm unworthy of (You should know who I am, Give me your story, And I will give you mine.) Pour our hearts out, What about this great thing we already got? (Fortune sounds so worthless, Why do you want such an excess?) Fortunately for you I'm saying this now before, Before it's too late (I will tell you a truth: If you've fallen in love then pick yourself up.)

Two Years 04:43
Well if I had it my way, It would not of fallen apart, But pieces exist. Now we're here, Just another day, Several years and miles from the whole start. Don't show me your wrist. I saw you in the hallway. Said you'd call, But I haven't got one yet. It's been two years. The pain you've inflicted When you are so gifted It's a shame to watch it waste away, Shame to see your disarray. Sitting on the concrete, Think you're discrete but I know you better. Remember as long as I'm here, I will be here. So happens we get scared of what we don't know while we grow. Doesn't mean we throw away what we got. I can't promise that it all will be okay because it may not, But if you shut me out don't leave me like this. You're so high that you seem low. Wasn't gonna say it but you reap what you sow. No one's given you the blame. 'Circumstances outweighed your chances' Keep tellin' yourself what gets the fault. Still you didn't call. Sip your wine at the same time, Glaring at your broken TV, You just want to be free The pain you've inflicted When you are so gifted It's a shame to watch it waste away, Shame to see your disarray. Sitting on the concrete, Think you're discrete but I know you better. Remember as long as I'm here, I will be here. So happens we get scared of what we don't know while we grow. Doesn't mean we throw away what we got. I can't promise that it all will be okay because it may not, But if you shut me out don't leave me like this.

Embers 05:25
I breathe the same air you breathe, So why does it not seem like we're the same beneath? Are you lying through your teeth? Chances are I'm not who you think I am. I'd rather fuel a flame than let it die in the cold, But only with time do embers grow. I'd ask you why. Guess I'm too scared. Well last time I tried, It didn't go so hot, Gave you a second thought, And it blew up in my face. Steady pace this time just in case. I see your face around. I want to know who you are. My feet are on the ground, But this world seems so bizarre. I glance at you, You glace right back, Was that a mistake? I don't double-take a lot. We're two embers in a fire, There to burn some stuff up. Or will we now aspire To light the universe of Purpose for what is truth? I have faith in me and you. Reacting by fear, You've made it to the premiere Of letting others think for yourself. Which I'm as guilty of all of the above, But shutting yourself out really made it harder. I truly miss your talk. Threw my mind and you threw a block. I'm sure we'll do fine on our own. I'd ask you why. Guess I'm too scared. Well last time I tried, It didn't go so hot, Gave you a second thought, And it blew up in my face. Steady pace this time just in case. I see your face around. I want to know who you are. My feet are on the ground, But this world seems so bizarre. I glance at you, You glace right back, Was that a mistake? I don't double-take a lot. We're two embers in a fire, There to burn some stuff up. Or will we now aspire To light the universe of Purpose for what is truth? I have faith in me and you. Don't let the others claim what you're worth. You cannot change what you're already done. But you do have a choice for what to do now. I'll be there along the way to help you out. I won't lie it'll be hard. Nothing good comes easily, But only with time do embers grow. Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Ooooooooooooh I'd ask you why. Guess I'm too scared.

Torches 05:59
They say wealth come from gold. Then what comes from the soul? We think we're different with our nice cars and houses. And define ourselves in numbers of spouses. If you're feeling trapped, Into your brain I have tapped. Join with me in this raising of chorus. Strength in numbers, We can break down this fortress. Now's the time to begin to get ready. Suit up my brothers and sisters. They don't know what's comin' for them. Grab your torches that burn, That burn with white light. We've already gone this far. There's so much still to do. Had our feet stuck in tar. Already lost so there's nothing to lose. Pray for us now before we go, Into battle of worlds unknown. I see you're scared just as I am, And it's fear that will get us through. Battles won with swords and guns, Yet we need to be the ones Who could win every fight without even fighting. Take the profession of history rewriting. We can light the world By seeking what we have furled In every one of you is a strong heart, And I believe that we can play the part. Now's the time to begin to get ready. Suit up my brothers and sisters. They don't know what's comin' for them. Grab your torches that burn, That burn with white light. We've already gone this far. There's so much still to do. Had our feet stuck in tar. Already lost so there's nothing to lose. Pray for us now before we go, Into battle of worlds unknown. I see you're scared just as I am, And it's fear that will get us through. Now's the time to begin to get ready. Suit up my brothers and sisters. They don't know what's comin' for them. Grab your torches that burn, That burn with white light. We've already gone this far. There's so much still to do. Had our feet stuck in tar. Already lost so there's nothing to lose. Pray for us now before we go, Into battle of worlds unknown. I see you're scared just as I am, And it's fear that will get us through.

My mistakes have brought me here To this maze of guilt and shame I’m turning in circles to find a way out And I’m the only one to blame I’m looking for a sign of our home For the place that we once stayed But for now we’re left in a dark vast land Where all our thoughts have strayed You were let down again girl Your hands in the dirt I wasn’t here to help you I just let you get hurt It hurt’s to see you To see what I’ve done Could I please just make things better Or has the better already begun? Verse 2 I’ve got to find a way To figure out you and me What is this place we’re in Is it where we should be? I’m looking for a sign of our home For the place that we once stayed But for now we’re left in a dark vast land Where all our thoughts have strayed You were let down again girl Your hands in the dirt I wasn’t here to help you I just let you get hurt It hurt’s to see you To see what I’ve done Could I please just make things better Or has the better already begun? Can we break this down? Could we dig through this stone? I just want you in this town Girl, I don’t want you alone. You were let down again girl Your hands in the dirt I wasn’t here to help you I just let you get hurt It hurt’s to see you To see what I’ve done Could I please just make things better Or has the better already begun?
