All Secrets Known Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hope

A new beginning

Time

Time to start living

[Pre-Chorus]

Like just before we died

[Chorus]

There's no going back

To the place

We started from

[Verse 2]

Hurt

Falling through fingers

Trust

Trust in the feeling

[Pre-Chorus]

There's something left inside

[Chorus]

There's no going back

To the place

We started from

[Post-Chorus]

All secrets known...

[Verse 3]

Calm

Old wounds are healing

Strong

Truth is worth saving

[Pre-Chorus]

I want to feel alive

[Chorus]

There's no going back

To the place

We started from

[Post-Chorus]

All secrets known...

Check My Brain Lyrics

[Verse 1]

And so I found myself

In the sun, oh, yeah...

A hell of a place

To end a run, oh, yeah...

[Chorus]

California, I'm fine

Somebody check my brain

California's all right

Somebody check my brain

Check my brain

[Verse 2]

I walk these streets

A creep in the fog, oh, yeah...

When she sang

I answered the call, oh, yeah...

[Chorus]

California, I'm fine

Somebody check my brain

California's all right

Somebody check my brain

[Post-Chorus]

Ah, tears that filled my bong...

Ah, years expended gone...

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

I hung my guns

And put 'em away, oh, yeah...

The trick of the trade

And by the way, oh, yeah...

[Chorus]

California, I'm fine

Somebody check my brain

California's all right

Somebody check my brain

[Post-Chorus]

Ah, tears that filled my bong

Ah, years expended gone

[Outro]

Ah, tears that filled my bong

Ah, years expended gone

Ah, tears that filled my bong

Ah, years expended gone

Check my brain

When the Sun Rose Again Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Run

Run till you drop

Hide

Everyone knows

[Pre-Chorus]

We all trade in "never-befores"

Selling out for the score

[Verse 2]

Pray

Squeal when you're caught

Cry

"It's not my fault"

[Pre-Chorus]

Time to trade in "never-befores"

Selling out for the score

[Chorus]

It seems you prophesized

All of this would end

Were you burned away

When the sun rose again?

[Verse 3]

Hate

Long wearing thin

Negative

All you've been

[Pre-Chorus]

Time to trade in "never-befores"

Selling out for the score

[Chorus]

It seems you prophesized

All of this would end

Were you burned away

When the sun rose again?

[Chorus]

It seems you prophesized

All of this would end

Were you burned away

When the sun rose again?

[Chorus]

It seems you prophesized

All of this would end

Were you burned away

When the sun rose again?

Acid Bubble Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You tried to kill me off

Surprised, I remain

A scale tips, impossible

Afraid of my own name

[Pre-Chorus]

And I always paid attention

To all the lines you crossed

Forgive this imperfection

It shows and know

[Chorus]

I am the child that lives

And cries in a corner

Dies in a corner

Unloved inside your mind

[Post-Chorus]

Intent obsolescence built into the system

[Verse 2]

I tried to shake it off

You can't remove the stain

A scale breaks, impossible

Afraid we are the same

[Pre-Chorus]

And you never paid attention

To all the lines I crossed

Forgive this imperfection

It shows and know

[Chorus]

I am the child that lives

And cries in a corner

Dies in a corner

Unloved inside your mind

Cries in a corner

Dies in a corner

Unloved inside your mind

[Post-Chorus]

Intent obsolescence built into the system

[Outro]

Built into the system

Lesson Learned Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Just another lesson learned

Wear a scar, a bore repeating

Take a simple, fateful turn

Opened up to stop the bleeding

[Pre-Chorus]

Feeling like you never could

Been the disconnected frying

Hit the vein and struck a nerve

Seeing through a self that's blinding

[Chorus]

Nowhere to buy in

Most of us hiding

Others are shining

[Verse 2]

Just another brick you toss

Stone the number one deceiver

Multiply the added cost

Easy to become a believer

[Pre-Chorus]

Feeling like you never could

Been the disconnected frying

Hit the vein and struck a nerve

Seeing through a self that's blinding

[Chorus]

Nowhere to buy in

Most of us hiding

Others are shining

[Bridge]

You know when you find it

In your darkest hour, you strike gold

A thought clicks, not the be-all, end-all

You know when you find it

In your darkest hour, you strike gold

A thought clicks, not the be-all, end-all

Just another lesson learned, yeah

[Outro]

You know when you find it

In your darkest hour, you strike gold

A thought clicks, not the be-all, end-all

You know when you find it

In your darkest hour, you strike gold

A thought clicks, not the be-all, end-all

Just another lesson learned, yeah

Just another lesson learned

Take Her Out Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Here I am again

I feel time is draggin' on

Aren't you getting tired of me?

Whinging overdrawn

[Chorus]

Faceless, blind

Want to take her out again

She's not just mine

Want to take her out again

[Verse 2]

In a bodiless embrace

Thriving, I have grown

Fickle, changing grip replaced

Choking, take it all

[Chorus]

Faceless, blind

Want to take her out again

She's not just mine

Want to take her out again

[Verse 3]

Dedicated, true to form

Still the only one

Only guarantee

Continue after I am done

[Chorus]

Faceless, blind

Want to take her out again

She's not just mine

Want to take her out again

Faceless, blind

Want to take her out again

She's not just mine

Want to take her out again
