Goodbye Lullaby

Welcome to the show.
We're just open for business now.
Sit back and relax.
This road was long and scary.
Hopes were fleeting. You should have seen it.
I never felt so lost.
Formed and feeding, wouldn't believe it.
You never know. You never know.
Its time to let this go.
You know that this is only the start.
I'll show, but this will rip us apart.
And I sing this lullaby.
Lets go, and I'll take you away.
Foster this and leave the rest in decay.
And this is how we say goodbye.
My back is on the ropes.
Pushing me into a corner now,
I think I'm going down.
As my adrenaline starts to rush
I'm feeling like a million bucks.
I still could win this one.
Formed and feeding, wouldn't believe it.
You never know. You never know.
Its time to let this go.
You know that this is only the start.
I'll show, but this will rip us apart.
And I sing this lullaby.
Lets go, and I'll take you away.
Foster this and leave the rest in decay.
And this is how we say goodbye.
How we say goodbye!
You know that this is only the start.
I'll show, but this will rip us apart.
And I sing this lullaby.
Lets go, and I'll take you away.
Foster this and leave the rest in decay.
And this is how we say goodbye.
Goodbye lullaby.
How we say goodbye!

When the Devil Speaks

I'm coming loose!
The struggle is futile. The fight is just no use.
Should I dare to let the world in?
My heart's a stone recluse.
Sing it softly, in hopes that you'll live through today.
It seems you've lost me. It helps to know you've lost your way.
Hold me down! Fight the currents and you will surely drown.
Sink into the ground.
I won't sleep again.
The fortune is squandered. We're meeting a bitter end.
Good will fall!
His demons torment me. They run me through the walls.
Sing it softly, in hopes that you'll live through today.
It seems you've lost me. It helps to know you've lost your way.
Hold me down! Fight the currents and you will surely drown.
Sink into the ground.
I can feel him here.
He's coming to take me away.
There is no longer a wait.
This is the end of days.
I'm trying to make it past.
This future will never last.
Forgetting the words I wrote.
Reliving the thoughts we spoke!
Sing it softly, in hopes that you'll live through today.
It seems you've lost me. It helps to know you've lost your way.
Hold me down! Fight the currents and you will surely drown.
Sink into the ground.

I'm not the person you thought I was.
Its not as clear as it seemed.
This storm consumes me inside my mind,
And all that's left is a dream.
We will regret the things that we've said.
The secrets I'm keeping could bury you in hopelessness.
The treasures I'm seeking are simply minutes of a tryst.
And I'll be holding my own. You should have left me alone.
The king is getting dethroned.
Now tell me why did you leave me here.
An orphan left of the host.
Sing out the voices of emptiness.
When all your heart has been lost.
We will regret the things that we've said.
The secrets I'm keeping could bury you in hopelessness.
The treasures I'm seeking are simply minutes of a tryst.
And I'll be holding my own. You should have left me alone.
The king is getting dethroned.
Open your eyes. Let me inside.
I won't hold my breath.
It scares me to death,
This endless regret.
The secrets I'm keeping could bury you in hopelessness.
The treasures I'm seeking are simply minutes of a tryst.
And I'll be holding my own. You should have left me alone.
The king is getting dethroned.
Sing out the voices of emptiness.
When all your heart has been lost.

Ghost Ship

Wake up! The ghosts are calling.
The darkness stretches miles away.
Closed lips the girl is stalling.
This broken vessel's going down.
Your misery signal wasn't strong enough!
On its maiden voyage this ship as run aground.
So soft, your weakness known.
The courage lost, the martyr stoned.
You signed your name on that dotted line.
Now its off to Davey Jones'
With lonely hearts and broken bones.
Come back! The signal's breaking!
Patience is really wearing thin.
What's left but lungs are failing?
No better time for this than now.
Your sheer perfection wasn't worth the gallows.
On its maiden voyage this ship as run aground.
So soft, your weakness known.
The courage lost, the martyr stoned.
You signed your name on that dotted line.
Now its off to Davey Jones'
With lonely hearts and broken bones.
Oh Captain! We've lost contact! (x4)
Your eyes beam crimson red.
We're just too close to death.
The Captain screams "Abandon Ship!".
This young man cannot swim.
Realize there's nothing left of him.
Oh Captain! We've lost contact! (x3)

If you want a war, I'll give it to you.
I'll burn you down. I'll burn you down.
Smash the camera. Bleed the background.
And flash the lights on him so bright.
Remember all the sleepless nights.
Restless under the city lights.
Working to bring me back to life.
Its worth a second try.
To make things seem almost right.
Knock on the door and step inside.
Just light the match and rectify.
Highlight with fire in the sky.
If you lose a step, I'll gain a few.
I'll strike you down as I ascend.
Lost in foresight. Safe in memory.
Like open wounds and healing scars.
Remember all the sleepless nights.
Restless under the city lights.
Working to bring me back to life.
Its worth a second try.
To make things seem almost right.
Knock on the door and step inside.
Just light the match and rectify.
Highlight with fire in the sky.
And I'll meet them! On the doorstep!
I'll drag them! To the gates of hell!
Agreements broken! A treaty signed in blood!
Its the concept! The plans laid out and carved in stone!
Remember all the sleepless nights.
Restless under the city lights.
Working to bring me back to life.
Its worth a second try.
To make things seem almost right.
Knock on the door and step inside.
Just light the match and rectify.
Highlight with fire in the sky.

A Pooling Equilibrium

Its not a game anymore!
Observe my crown of thorns.
I let this get to far!
It leaves me wanting more.
In a long list of suspects!
I know I can't be wrong.
This monster's vices, sins of flesh!
And soon it will be torn.
There is no hope left, for the patient is weak.
Give the injection and we'll put him to sleep.
I'm seeing red now! I'm seeing red now!
The lights are bright here, so just wake me from sleep.
So now you're lost in the subtext!
No answers can be found.
This prize won't be your's!
I'll turn it all around.
Archers fall, your aim is useless!
It seems that you've let go.
I promise this, I'll pray for one day!
The debt will be repaid.
There is no hope left, for the patient is weak.
Give the injection and we'll put him to sleep.
I'm seeing red now! I'm seeing red now!
The lights are bright here, so just wake me from sleep.
With bloodshot eyes and the blackest of lungs
I'm making my way back from the webs that you've spun.
I'm hoping you feel the way that I choose to feel.
The feelings are real.
There is no hope left, for the patient is weak.
Give the injection and we'll put him to sleep.
I'm seeing red now! I'm seeing red now!
The lights are bright here, so just wake me from sleep.
I'm seeing red now! Inches from death now!
I'd try to save you, but we're playing for keeps.

My Life Gone Televised

When word gets out, they'll come for you.
You've made all your money off the things I've been through.
As skies open up, the morning beams through.
You're saving your face and i'll be drowning in brew.
Down on the ground, I feel all the sound.
Its up to you if this ends in black and blue.
When safety is gone and you're to blame,
You're soon to find out. This life will never be the same.
Your cables and cameras can follow me home.
I know that all these eyes won't leave me alone.
Drop the bomb! I'm lighting the fuse.
A clock just kicking time, a quarter to two!
(Just follow me and run today!)
We'll get away! We'll get away.
(Just follow me and run today!)
Make your escape!
When safety is gone and you're to blame,
You're soon to find out. This life will never be the same.
Your cables and cameras can follow me home.
I know that all these eyes won't leave me alone.
They just won't leave me alone.
This life just won't be good enough!
When safety is gone and you're to blame,
You're soon to find out. This life will never be the same.
Your cables and cameras can follow me home.
I know that all these eyes won't leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
They just won't leave me alone.

In Memoriam

I'm writing you to let you know
How things are at home.
You taught me things I'll always know,
But I'm still a lost soul.
Mother, don't forget your son.
The hardest part of waking up is knowing you're gone.
There's one thing that you should know.
You were right about it all.
He's waiting. You're fading fast.
There's only whiskey for the gaul.
Mother, don't forget your son.
The hardest part of waking up is knowing you're gone.
It's seeping through. I'm breaking out, but not without you.
Nothing's right anymore.
The day has grown long.
Don't be scared. Just move on toward the light.
Even angels need to sleep sometime.
I'm keeping the beat of your heart.
(Go on! Go on!)
I'm trying to let it go.
(Just fly away! Fly away home!)
Mother, don't forget your son.
(Just fly away! Fly away home!)
The hardest part of waking up is knowing you're gone.
(Just fly away! Fly away home!)
It's seeping through. I'm breaking out, but not without you.
(Just fly away! Fly away home!)
Nothing's right anymore.
The day has grown long.
Fly away home.

Now it all comes down to this.
You never even had a prayer.
Burning photographs of memories.
Play back everything you've seen.
Its not the worst of ways.
And so it seems,
We live our lives in dreams.
Its everything they did to me.
If this world decides to burn,
Could you say you love me?
In your fortress, safe from loneliness
The story's neverending.
Is this the ending you expected?
The plot has spiraled from control.
Loss overshadows your accomplishment.
It's been revealed, you've lost it all.
Its not the worst of ways.
And so it seems,
We live our lives in dreams.
Its everything they did to me.
If this world decides to burn,
Could you say you love me?
In your fortress, safe from loneliness
The story's neverending.
Wake up this inner darkness!
Finish the games we tried to play!
Wake up to sleight of sharpness!
Ever foolishly tried to stay!

And now I say goodbye.
I'm breathing my final breath.
I'm losing this life to death.
Now I must be on my way.
Another lonely part of the fray.
I need to feel or I won't heal.
(Guitar Solo)
Wake up this inner darkness!
Finish the games we tried to play!
Wake up to sleight of sharpness!
Ever foolishly tried to stay!
If this world decides to burn,
Could you say you love me?
In your fortress, safe from loneliness
The story's neverending.
If this world decides to burn,
I would say I loved you.
Fly me home. These broken wings
Have nothing left to mend with.
Wake up this inner darkness!
Finish the games we tried to play!
Catch on to sleight of sharpness!
I will see you another day!
