Track Lyrics

Broken Pieces Shine Lyrics

[Intro]

Three, two, one, zero

[Verse 1]

There is no way back this time

What is real and what is mine?

Ooh, survival hurts

Lose myself or lose my mind

Every time I close my eyes

Ooh, survival hurts

[Pre-Chorus]

But I keep breathing in, I'm alive

[Chorus]

I'm not fine

I don't know if I will be alright

But I have to try

I know you're with me, so what if we do fall apart?

Give into all that we are

And let all the broken pieces shine

[Post-Chorus]

(Shine, shine, shine, shine)

[Verse 2]

Shuttered inside, looking out

Everything's turned upside down

Ooh, we're not the first

How can we ever be us?

Wondering who we can trust

Ooh, survival hurts

[Pre-Chorus]

But I'm not giving in, I'm alive

[Chorus]

I'm not fine

I don't know if I will be alright

But I have to try

I know you're with me, so what if we do fall apart?

Give into all that we are

And let all the broken pieces come alive

I don't know if I will ever be alright

But I have to try...

And I know you're with me, so what if we do fall apart?

Shamelessly be who we are

And let all the broken pieces shine...

[Bridge]

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Outro]

Let all the broken pieces shine

Let all the broken pieces... shine

The Game Is Over Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Had enough, I've really had enough

Had enough of denial

I'm not alright, but I'm not gonna lie

I don't know that I ever was

All alone, I've waited, all alone

Held it in as I played by your rules

I've been biting my lip, but I'm losing my grip

I'm coming down, down, down

[Pre-Chorus]

When all the hate burns off

I'm left here with the pain

Behind our vain devices

Are we all the same?

Ooh, ah, ah, ah

[Chorus]

Change me into something I believe in

Change me so I don't have to pretend

[Verse 2]

Take a breath and try to play along

But I'm a terrible liar

I feel the world like a brick on my chest

And the party's just begun

Throw the rope, I'm wading through the mud

From your mouth flow a thousand truths

But you know

There's only one

[Pre-Chorus]

When all the hate burns off

I'm left here with the pain

Ooh, ah, ah, ah

[Chorus]

Change me into something I believe in

Change me so I don't have to pretend

Sweet words, they mean nothing, they're not true

'Cause the game is over

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

I want it all or I want nothing at all

Maybe I can

[Chorus]

Change me into something I believe in

Change me so I don't have to pretend

Your sweet words, they mean nothing, save your breath

The game is over

Yeah Right Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm the widow

On the tip-tippy-toppy of the highest high of low

And I’m the shadow

Of the first little flower on the brightest patch of snow

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Happiness can be hard to find

I'm so slap silly happy

Everybody wants to take mine

[Chorus]

Yeah, right

That sounds nice

Everything we ever wanted and more

Someday we'll get paid

More than it was worth to sell our souls

Yeah, yeah, right

[Verse 2]

Yeah, I’m a rock star

I'm a queen resurrected, just as messed up as before

Twist the knife hard

Just makes it easier to tell you I don't need you anymore (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Life's a game 'til you lose, then what?

I'm reaching a new level of not giving a fuck

[Chorus]

Yeah, right

That sounds nice

Everything we ever wanted and more

Someday (I can't wait for the day)

We'll get paid

More than it was worth to sell our souls

[Bridge]

Tell me, how is the real world treating you?

Is that my fault too?

My one mistake was giving more and more and more

More and more and more

[Chorus]

Hey, yeah

Yeah, right

Baby, that sounds nice (That sounds nice)

Everything you ever wanted and more

Someday (I can’t wait for the day)

We’ll get paid

More than it was worth to sell our souls, sell our souls

[Outro]

Yeah, right

That sounds nice

More than it was worth to sell our souls

Feeding the Dark Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Follow me under

Low as we are

Swallow your hunger

Feeding this dark

[Verse 2]

Do you remember

What made the scar?

How deep will you cut?

Seeking my heart

[Chorus]

Well, you know that you can't hide

And you know that you can't lie

'Cause I know all your secrets

And I won't let you forget

[Verse 3]

Follow me under (Follow me under)

Low as we are (Follow me)

Hate is the liar (Feed...)

Feeding this dark

[Chorus]

Well, you know that you can't hide

And you know that you can't lie

'Cause I know all your secrets

And I won't let you forget

[Bridge]

Don't look away

Let the light pour down on our darkest day

If we run from ourselves

We will run forever

[Chorus]

Well, you know that you can't hide (You can't hide)

And you know that you can't lie (You can't lie)

'Cause we know all your secrets (Know all your secrets)

And I won't let you forget

Wasted on You Lyrics

[Chorus]

I don't need drugs

I'm already six feet low

Wasted on you

Waitin' for a miracle

I can't move on

Feels like we're frozen in time

I'm wasted on you

Just pass me the bitter truth

[Verse 1]

Love, don't you remember?

We were the ones

Nothing could ever change and

Love, it's easier not to believe

We have broken everything

But here we are

[Pre-Chorus]

Numb my head

'Til I can't think anymore

But I still feel the pain

[Chorus]

I don't need drugs

I'm already six feet low

Wasted on you

Waitin' for a miracle

I can't move on

Feels like we're frozen in time

I'm wasted on you

Just pass me the bitter truth

[Verse 2]

Once, this was a garden

This was a world

All of the nightmares stayed in the dark

A little too much time by yourself

And you become the enemy

Just look at us now

[Pre-Chorus]

Drowning slowly

Just to stay true

[Chorus]

I don't need drugs

I'm already six feet low

Wasted on you

Waitin' for a miracle

And I can't move on

I feel like we're frozen in time

I'm wasted on you

Just pass me the bitter truth

[Bridge]

Will I ever be the same? (Will I ever be the same?)

Am I strong enough to change? (Am I strong enough to change?)

Is it in my blood?

Shield my eyes to face the day (Shield my eyes to face the day)

Come too far to slip away (Come too far to slip away)

But it's killing me to go on without you

[Chorus]

I don't need drugs

I'm already six feet low

I'm wasted on you (Wasted on)

Waitin' for a miracle

I can't move on

Like we're frozen in time

I'm wasted on you (Wasted on you)

Just pass me the bitter truth

Better Without You Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Stand in the front, but shut up 'til I tell you to go

Don't get caught up in pretend 'cause you're not in control

'Cause this is my world, little girl, you'd be lost on your own

Just hating and waiting and saving up

[Verse 2]

I'll do you a favor and save you if you sign on the line

Don't worry your pretty little head about the future, it's all fine

Whether you're wrong or you're right, doesn't matter, you're not up to the fight

Keeping my head down

'Cause they don't know what I know now

[Chorus]

As empires fall to pieces

Our ashes twisting in the air

It makes me smile to know that

I'm better without you

[Verse 3]

Now look around and remember your friends if you can

Feeding the flames 'til there's no one to blame, it's on your hands

Lost in your lies, pay the price with our lives, you've gone mad

And there's no way out

'Cause we all know you're hollow

[Chorus]

As empires fall to pieces

Our ashes twisting in the air

It makes me smile to know that

I'm better without you

[Bridge]

Not enough, not enough

Not enough to throw it all away

We'd still be falling

We're fallen

Turn it up, turn it up

Never gonna shut me up again

Your time is over

It's over now

[Chorus]

As empires fall to pieces

Our ashes twisting in the air

It makes me smile to know that

I'm, I'm better without you

Use My Voice Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Cover my ears and close my eyes

Just long enough to stop the noise

Go on, take everything and throw it away

But I will use my voice

[Refrain]

Woah, woah, oh

[Verse 2]

Drown every truth in an ocean of lies

Label me "bitch" because I dare to draw my own line

Burn every bridge and build a wall in my way

But I will use my voice

[Chorus]

Woah, woah, oh

Whether you like it or not, you're gonna take what I got

Woah, woah, oh

If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it

Give me credit or not, I give and I give a lot

But don't you speak for me

Woah, woah, oh

No, don't you speak for me

[Verse 3]

Never mind me, I'm a waste of your time

Never gonna fit in the box that you need

And I can read between the lines, yeah

Gather your friends and wave your gun in my face

But I will use my voice

[Chorus]

Woah, woah, oh

Whether you like it or not, you're gonna take what I got

Woah, woah, oh

If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it

Give me credit or not, I give and I give a lot

But don't you speak for me

Woah, woah, oh

No, don't you speak for me

[Bridge]

Whether you like it or not

One day soon

It's gonna fall back on you

No more lies

We're gonna break right through

Like it or not

[Chorus]

Woah, woah, oh

If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it

Give me credit or not, I give and I give a lot

But don't you speak for me

Woah, woah, oh

No, don't you speak for me

Woah, woah, oh (Whether you like it or not)

Don't you speak for me

Take Cover Lyrics

[Verse 1]

By the way that you talk to me

I can see the lie you're dreaming I'll believe

By the way, don't you forget who you are now

'Cause that's not your name

[Chorus 1]

Oh you better take cover

('Cause I'm on my way now)

I'm coming back to take your world down

Move over, if you can

'Cause I never lost my crown

[Verse 2]

Slave to your insecurity

That's what drove you down in the first place

But you haven't learned a thing

Caught in your thick web of lies

Gonna be the bitch you make me out to be

[Chorus 2]

Oh you better take cover

(Nothing you can say now)

You underestimated my wrath

Move over, if you can

I'm gonna give the love back

[Bridge]

So you want to play with me?

After it all - your ego, your greed

You dug your grave so come on inside and rest in peace

[Chorus 3]

Take cover

(Cause I'm on my way now)

I'm gonna have to take you all down

Move over, if you can

'Cause I never lost my crown

Far From Heaven Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Give me a reason

Make me whole again

Wounds should become scars but I'm cracked instead

Can't risk believing

That I would stand a chance

Frozen in the doorway, don't wanna leave the past

[Pre-Chorus 1]

One more night

What I wouldn't give to be with you

For one more night

[Chorus 1]

What if I can't see your light anymore?

'Cause I've spent too long in the dark

And I'm on my knees without shame begging to believe

But I feel so far from heaven

[Verse 2]

Wake up to a new day

Break my heart again

Dreaming makes for sweet escape but I can't forget

I'm back at the edge now

I never needed you more

Staring down the emptiness that I can't ignore

[Pre-Chorus 2]

All my life

Didn't wanna dream I could lose you

But you just smiled

[Chorus 1]

What if I can't see your light anymore?

'Cause I've spent too long in the dark

And I'm on my knees without shame begging to believe

But I feel so far from heaven

[Bridge]

Is anyone out there? Did you give up on us?

Break this silence, I'm crushed under love

I don't wanna lock down, but we've lost so much

Will you forgive me?

[Chorus 2]

If I can't see your light anymore?

'Cause I've spent too long in the dark

And I'm on my knees without shame begging to believe

But I feel so far from heaven

[Outro]

I feel so far

Part of Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Not on your life

Won't let it break me, won't give up the fight

But on this last thread, I'm holding so tight

Feed my imaginings, don't let a sweet dream die

[Verse 2]

Not on your life

I'm not abandoning - I have survived

Somehow still standing through death and through time

I need your love like a drug keeping me alive

[Pre-Chorus]

Drown me in your blinding light

[Chorus 1]

I will be more than my survival

Own these scars on my heart

Even in dreams I hear you calling

Breaking the surface, I won't let go

You're part of me

[Verse 3]

Can't stop me now

Just clawed my way back from deep underground

No time for hatred, no holding back now

Set me on firе, I like it the way it burns

[Verse 4]

Hands on your heart

Who rеally thought we would make it this far?

What good could come of embracing the dark?

We found each other through brokenness and now look how strong we are

[Pre-Chorus]

Drown me in your blinding light

[Chorus 2]

I will be more than my survival

Own these scars on my heart

Even in dreams I hear you calling

So I know it's still worth believing

It's not just a feeling

As long as I don't let it go

Don't let me go

[Chorus 3]

I will be more than my survival

Own these scars on my heart

Even in dreams I hear you calling

Breaking the surface, I won't let go

You're part of me now and always

Blind Belief Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I believe in us

I can't remember why I believe in us

These seeds of the past, they keep springing up

Love begins with trust

But we can't be trusted

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Oh, the future starts with us

[Chorus 1]

Blind belief, are you afraid to see

That our fathers were wrong?

We hold the key to redemption

Let icons fall

[Verse 2]

Dare to break away

Tear down this broken machine

Escape your cage

We're falling to pieces

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Oh, the future’s rising up

[Chorus 2]

Blind belief, are you afraid to see

That our fathers were wrong?

We hold the key to redemption

Let icons fall

[Bridge]

Push through the pain

Unbreak this system

Arms of self-sacrifice

Lay them down

Lay 'em down, lay 'em down, lay 'em down, lay 'em down

[Chorus 3]

Blind belief, are you afraid to see

That our fathers were wrong?

We hold the key to redemption

Love over all

We hold the key to redemption

Love over all
