Sleepless nights, I wonder What lays ahead A voice in my head, like thunder Is scaring me again: Where Am I going ? What Am I gonna do ? ‘Cause it makes no difference, Now and I better find where I belong ! All I want is to stay young forever ‘Cause writing songs might never pay Writing songs might never... Crown me the king of cowards For being such a messss But growing up is harder For some kids in distress Hey Hey Hey ? (Crowd) All I want is to stay young forever ‘Cause writing songs might never pay and all I want is to be young again but those times have gone away SOLO youuuuung foreeeeever All I want is to stay young forever ‘Cause writing songs might never pay and all I want is to be young again but those times have gone away

City Lights 05:02
Living overnight Dancing out of sight Cross the bridges, follow the river To watch the city lights Oh Two more lovers One on another Changing their behaviours In the dark Loving out of sight Dancing overnight Watch the movement, Heat of the moment See how the lovers fight Oh No more hiding Just for now Take everything you need Far away They’re just like the others Just wanna discover, why The world’s on their shoulders So they left it all behind They’re just like the others And they’ll soon find another place To start it all over To watch the city lights Hey keep looking around ‘cause some people are up to no good Hey they’re not ready to roll they’re not ready to go now Oh no it Says it all, does it? It Says it all but they don’t care Living overnight Dancing out of sight Cross the bridges, follow the river To watch the city lights Oh Two more lovers One on another Changing their behaviours In the dark They’re just like the others Just wanna discover, why The world’s on their shoulders So they left it all behind They’re just like the others And they’ll soon find another place To start it all over To watch the city lights

Underdogs 03:47
Working on a minimum wage Yet you always dreamed for more Like an animal in his cage Always digging up for more A dog on the run A mean demeanor for a leader Stray bullets coming Fascinatingly alone I just wanna scream Like nobody else Nobody knows How hard it is to have to go Yeah I just wanna scream Now I’m on the edge Above my head On my own Saying it’s a matter of age Is a lie we’ve heard before Which leads to a criminal rage And fuels a civil war Don’t mess with the underdogs x4 A dog on the run A mean demeanor for a leader Stray bullets coming Fascinatingly alone I just wanna scream Like nobody else Nobody knows How hard it is to have to go Yeah I just wanna scream Now I’m on the edge Above my head On my own I just wanna scream Like nobody else Nobody knows How hard it is to have to go Yeah I just wanna scream Now I’m on the edge Above my head On my own

That’s it I’m done. I’ll leave this town. I’m gonna’ pack my bags I’m never coming back That’s it I’m done. I’ve had enough. I know I’ll break your heart, but what else can I do? I’ll hit the road until I find Until I find a place to settle on my own I see the days, they come and go They bring a restless peace that’s out of my control It’s out of my control Follow me down, down in the snow I wanna’ show you a place you’ll never get to know If you feel cold, I feel alone It’s been this way since we’ve been living on our own My head is heavy this I know As I walk face down in this never­ending storm The faces I see the minutes that I fear The hours that devour me it’s been way too long Tell me where to stop Tell me how to feel When all those memories of us Keep hunting me around, you know ? Tell me where it ends Tell me how it feels Once everything was said and done We knew our paradise was lost our paradise was lost Tell me where to stop That’s it I’m done, I’ve let you down Now that we’ve realized we headed different ways That’s it I’m done, I’ve had it rough I knew I’d break your heart, but darlin’ that’s on you I’ve hit the road only to find Only to find a way to gather all I own And headed West onto the shore Followed the Northern lights To fade into the night Tell me where to stop Tell me how to feel When all those memories of us Keep hunting me around, you know ? Tell me where it ends Tell me how it feels Once everything was said and done We knew our paradise was lost our paradise was lost Tell me where to stop Tell me how to feel When all those memories of us Keep hunting me around, you know ? Tell me where it ends Tell me how it feels Once everything was said and done We knew our paradise was lost our paradise was lost Tell me where to stop.

Run Away 05:50
Run away from me Before it’s too late And I can’t figure out anymore I never meant to let you go Save yourself from me It’s all that matters anymore Turn off the light, close your door Numb away your pain All that you left and And all that I was All that we were is Gone, gone, gone All that you left and And all that I was All that we were is Gone, gone, gone Run away from me Give yourself a rest If it makes you feel alive Just leave it all behind Empty bottles of wine Broken on the floor Just Slap my face again Or pin me to a wall All that you left and And all that I was All that we were is Gone, gone, gone All that you left and And all that I was All that we were is Gone, gone, gone All that you left and And all that I was All that we were is Gone, gone, gone All that you left and And all that I was All that we were is Gone, gone, gone All that you left and And all that I was All that we were is Gone, gone, gone All that you left and And all that I was All that we were is Gone, gone, gone

Resilience 04:01
I’ve Lost myself for so long My gears have rusted on their own well It Seems like i’ve got nowhere to go Cannot remember where I’m from But I can feel it around I can hear it in my own bloody head (It) sneaks into my mind That I might have been left for dead And the night goes on and on Feels like I should’ve known somehow Oh babe I’m coming home to you And I won’t be long, No I won’t be long Oh please don’t cry at all What have we got ourselves into Oh don’t get me wrong, no don’t get me wrong My love I’m coming home for you Work for your dreams, it’s what they’ve said Just don’t come home and stay away Show me a way out of this place It’s all a joke, make no mistake And while We’re here waitin’ for the score to settle on the mother board And While you’re here wasted on the floor Your dreams don’t matter after all Oh babe I’m coming home to you And I won’t be long, No I won’t be long Oh please don’t cry at all What have we got ourselves into Oh don’t get me wrong, no don’t get me wrong My love Oh babe I’m coming home to you And I won’t be long, No I won’t be long Oh please don’t cry at all What have we got ourselves into Oh don’t get me wrong, no don’t get me wrong My love I’m coming home for you

Pretend 04:12
Your Loneliness fades to all the monsters in your heart And all the lights don’t seem to even matter after all Pretend you’ve lost, your mind ‘Cause I ain’t here but Something tells you I’m not far So pretend we’ve lost, our minds ‘Cause you’re the only one I see When I close my eyes Chasing all the ghosts that wander here in the dark Fall to my knees I’m too weak to try again, I gave it all Pretend you’ve lost, your mind ‘Cause I ain’t here but Something tells you I’m not far So pretend we’ve lost, our minds ‘Cause you’re the only one I see When I close my eyes There are writings on the walls Bringing hatred to us all They will stay to watch you drown (and) you’ll be holding on to your soul Pretend You’ve lost, your mind ‘Cause I ain’t here but Something tells you I’m not far So pretend We’ve lost, our minds ‘Cause you’re the only one I see When I close my eyes So pretend You’ve lost, your mind pretend We’ve lost, our minds

Bastard Inc 04:52
You pledged yourself to cheat Every single law So I guess you’re the devil On the back side of a bill You’re feeling the heat That’s building on you So tell me how it feels To taste your own god damn medicine You’ve got to be afraid When you cut every corner ‘Cause in the end, you’ve always been A liar and a crook Bastard incorporated You never care At least you fake it Outcast and overrated When you lie I hope you mean it Beware, your time is up The spotlight burns your skin What have you done What are you gonna do Hard times Investigations The last time you’ll see the light A kick in the face A stab in the back You’re too numb to see You got off the track Bastard incorporated You never care At least you fake it Outcast and overrated When you lie I hope you mean it

Not Afraid 03:43
I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid Of being left all alone And if nobody cares for me I know I can do it on my own I’m not your friend, I’m not your friend Don’t feel threatened by this song ‘Cause it’s the only thing The only thing that I own I Couldn’t keep up for a day Watching the whole world going by While everybody walks away I’ve got my own plans and they’re not staying on a shelf I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid Of being left all alone And if nobody cares for me I know I can do it on my own I’m not your friend, I’m not your friend Don’t feel threatened by this song ‘Cause it’s the only thing The only thing that I own Who would you leave behind If you had to save your life? Why should I hold you down When you’re trying to make things right? (Solo) And all the colors fade away, I guess we live we grow, then we let go I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid Of being left all alone And if nobody cares for me I know I can do it on my own I’m not your friend, I’m not your friend Don’t feel threatened by this song ‘Cause it’s the only thing The only thing that I own (2x)
