Price to Play Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We fail to see
How destructive we can be
Taking without giving back
'Till the damage can be seen
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you see?
Can you see?
[Chorus]
The more you take, the more you blame
For everything still feels the same
The more you hurt, the more you scream
The price you pay to play the game
Then all you see, and all you gain
And all you step on with no shame
There are no rules, no one to blame
The price to play the game
[Verse 2]
Apathy
The chosen way to be
Blindly look the other way
While you waste away with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you see?
Can you see?
[Chorus]
The more you take, the more you blame
For everything still feels the same
The more you hurt, the more you scream
The price you pay to play the game
Then all you see, and all you gain
And all you step on with no shame
There are no rules, no one to blame
The price to play the game
[Bridge]
What you pay to play the game
What you pay to play the game
What you pay to play the game
What you pay to play the game
[Chorus]
The more you take , the more you blame
But everything still feels the same
The more you hurt, the more you scream
The price you pay to play the game
And all you see, and all you gain
And all you step on with no shame
There are no rules, no one to blame
The price to play the game
[Outro]
What you pay to play the game
What you pay to play the game
What you pay to play the game
What you pay to play the game
How About You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If someone else showed you the way
Would you take the wheel and steer?
It hurts me that you're not ashamed
Of what you're doing here
If they jumped off a bridge
Would you meet them on the ground?
Or would you try to claim
That it never made a sound?
[Chorus]
Everyone plays the hand they're dealt
And learns to walk through life themselves
Not everything in life is handed on a plate
When people think your words are true
It doesn't matter what you do
I sold my soul to get here, how about you?
[Verse 2]
So you choose to force your hand
What a strange way to make friends
And you always change the rules
So the drama never ends
And you blindly go through life
Judging only by its worth
Just try not to forget
That the meek inherit earth
[Chorus]
Everyone plays the hand they're dealt
And learns to walk through life themselves
Not everything in life is handed on a plate
When people think your words are true
It doesn't matter what you do
I sold my soul to get here, how about you?
[Bridge]
So please don't take offense
This is just a point of view
'Cause I'm the only one who
Will say these things to you
[Chorus]
Everyone plays the hand they're dealt
And learns to walk through life themselves
Not everything in life is handed on a plate
When people think your words are true
It doesn't matter what you do
I sold my soul to get here, how about you?
So Far Away Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is my life
It's not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
And these are my dreams
That I'd never lived before
[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody shake me, 'cause I
I must be sleeping
[Chorus]
And now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all the mistakes one life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
And I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed
To be the person that I am today
[Verse 2]
And these are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay
And this is the smile
That I've never shown before
[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping
[Chorus]
Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all the mistakes one life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
And I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed
To be the person that I am today
[Bridge]
I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
[Chorus]
Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All the mistakes one life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed
To be the person that I am today
Yesterday Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You don't know what you've put me through
That's okay, I've forgiven you
But in some way
Hope it fucks with you
Hope it fucks with you
[Pre-Chorus]
That I'm okay and I've made it through
But who's to say what you're going through
I'll say no names, though I've wanted to
Isn't it strange how it seems like
[Chorus]
Yesterday
A boy and already afraid
Locked deep inside
My place to hide
To hide from how you made me feel
And I wonder
How's your brother
Did he end up fucked up like me?
Lost in himself
Crying for help
It's safe to say
[Verse 2]
I learned to live without a pride
Just a shell, with me stuck inside
A prison, not a place to hide
Not a place to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Chorus 2]
Yesterday
A boy and already afraid
Locked deep inside
My place to hide
To hide from how you made me feel
And I wonder
How's your brother
Did he finally pull through like me?
Finding himself
Not needing help
I'd like to say
Fray Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know, that it never goes away
All I feel, everything I'm not today
So I try and I try to make everything right
I don't feel like I'm doing it, it affects me
[Chorus]
You wouldn't listen even if I told you
Who the fuck am I to say?
You're too busy with the lies they sold you
Another cure to fix your day
Open wide for all the shit they feed you
While the TV defecates
And blindly walk wherever they will lead you
While the edges slowly fray
[Verse 2]
I know, that everything can change
What I need, is to open up again
So never again will I look back in vain
'Cause today's not the past, I don't need to relive it
[Chorus]
You wouldn't listen even if I told you
Who the fuck am I to say?
You're too busy with the lies they sold you
Another cure to fix your day
Open wide for all the shit they feed you
While your TV defecates
And blindly walk wherever they will lead you
While the edges slowly fray
[Bridge 1]
Are you satisfied?
I've given all I can
And are you pacified
Or do you want more from me?
[Chorus]
You wouldn't listen even if I told you
Who the fuck am I to say?
You're too busy with the lies they sold you
Another cure to fix your day
Open wide for all the shit they feed you
While the TV defecates
And blindly walk wherever they will lead you
While the edges slowly fray
[Bridge 2]
I've learned, that this life's not just a game
Just a line between the pleasures and the pain
[Chorus]
You wouldn't listen even if I told you
Who the fuck am I to say?
And you're too busy with the lies they sold you
Another cure to fix your day
Open wide for all the shit they feed you
While the TV defecates
And blindly walk wherever they will lead you
While the edges slowly fray
Zoe Jane Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I want you to notice
To notice when I'm not around
I know that your eyes see straight through me
And speak to me without a sound
[Chorus]
And I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
And I want to show you
Show you all the things, that this life has in store for you
And I'll always love you
The way that a father, should love his daughter
[Verse 2]
When I walked out this morning
I cried as I walked to the door
I cried about how long I'd be away for
I cried about leaving you all alone
[Chorus]
And I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
And I want to show you
Show you all the things, that this life has in store for you
And I'll always love you
The way that a father, should love his daughter
[Bridge]
Sweet Zoe Jane
Sweet Zoe Jane
[Verse 3]
So I wanted to say this
'Cause I wouldn't know where to begin
To explain to you what I have been through
To explain where your daddy has been
[Chorus]
So I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
And I want to show you
Show you all the things, that this life has in store for you
And I'll always love you
The way that a father, should love his daughter
[Outro]
Sweet Zoe Jane
Sweet Zoe Jane
Fill Me Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well I just had to let you know
'Cause I don't always let it show
You give me needed room to grow
And I just had to tell you so
[Chorus]
You fill me up, you're in my veins
A look could take my breath away
And all these things you give away
Sometimes I take for granted
[Verse 2]
It's just like poetry inside
To hear you breathing by my side
Like I'm in Heaven and I've died
So glad you're with me for this ride
[Chorus]
You fill me up, you're in my veins
A look could take my breath away
And all these things you give away
Sometimes I take for granted
[Verse 3]
I see your face to start my day
Makes my all bad dreams go away
And all the stupid games we play
Wouldn't have it any other way
[Chorus]
You fill me up, you're in my veins
A look could take my breath away
And all these things you give away
Sometimes I take for granted
Layne Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I heard today that you were gone
I had to stop and sing along
The song they played to say goodbye
A song that gave, gave me back life
[Chorus]
You'll never fade
The words you gave
My life you saved
Your name was Layne
[Verse 2]
And on that day, a child was born
To someone who you helped along
And helped see through his darkest times
Because of you, this child she is mine
[Chorus]
You'll never fade
The words you gave
My life you saved
Your name was Layne
[Bridge]
The words you said
You made me feel like they were all for me
The words you said
They will always be a part of me
The words you said
You made me feel like I was not alone
With what you said
You gave me all the strength to carry on
[Chorus]
So to me you'll never fade
Your life you gave
My life you saved
Your name was Layne
Falling Down Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What's happened to you?
It's obvious you've changed
Something deep inside you
Is probably to blame
Must be lonely up there
With your head all in the clouds
Even though you got there
What does your conscience tell you now?
[Chorus]
It's never the same on the way down
How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground?
When all of your bridges aren't around
And the sandcastles you built are falling down
[Verse 2]
You had us all
Sitting right there in your hands
But you had to fall
Because that's how this life is
Got your fingers burned
By burning candles at both ends
Now the table's turned
And now your demons are your friends
[Chorus]
It's never the same on the way down
How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground?
When all of your bridges aren't around
And the sandcastles you built are falling down
[Bridge]
So now I question what you're gonna do
Now that everything's caught up with you
You believe the shit you say is true
But everybody's on to you
Life remembers everything you do
Your karma has caught up with you
[Chorus]
It's never the same on the way down
How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground?
When all of your bridges aren't around
And the sandcastles you built are falling down
[Outro]
Falling down
Reality Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The lights are on, but you're not home
You've drifted off, somewhere alone
Somewhere that's safe, no questions here
A quiet place, where you hide from your fears
[Chorus]
Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up is clear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever they happen to be
Or are you hiding from
The scars of your own reality?
[Verse 2]
So you sedate, and drown in vain
You've got a pill, for every day
A suit and tie, to mask the truth
It's ugly head, is starting to show through
[Chorus]
Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up's unclear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever they happen to be
Or are you hiding from
The scars of your own reality?
[Bridge]
The monster you're feeding, your lack of perception
The things that you do to fulfill your addictions
The light at the end of your tunnel is closing
What is it that you're so afraid of exposing?
You'd give it all up for what's there's for the taking
Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking
The same things you're thinking might make you feel better
The same things that probably got you here
[Chorus]
Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up's unclear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever they happen to be
Or are you hiding from
The scars of your own reality?
[Bridge]
The monster you're feeding, your lack of perception
The things that you do to fulfill your addictions
The light at the end of your tunnel is closing
What is it that you're so afraid of exposing?
You'd give it all up for what's there's for the taking
Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking
The same things you're thinking might make you feel better
The same things that probably got you here
Tonight Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just try to understand, this isn't what I planned
This ride's out of my hands
So now I'm forced to be, something I can not be
If only I could make you see
[Chorus]
Tonight, I'm alive
I've watched you all grow up and so have I
Inside
This isn't really what I had in mind
[Verse 2]
I no longer relate, to this world of hate
That's forced upon my plate
I tend to disagree, I hope it's not just me
Alone if only I could make you see
[Chorus]
Tonight, I'm alive
I've watched you all grow up and so have I
Inside
This isn't really what I had in mind
I had in mind
I had in mind
[Chorus]
Tonight, I'm alive
I've watched you all grow up and so have I
Inside
This isn't really what I had in mind
[Outro]
This time
I watch you all grow up and so have I
Inside
This isn't really what I had in mind
I had in mind
Could It Be Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well I don't know what to say
Because there's truth to what you say
I know it kills you I'm this way
There's something different every day
[Chorus]
Could it be that, I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could it be that, my habit is to find a place to hide?
Could it be that, sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could it be that, I'm only being me?
[Verse 2]
Not easy living in my mind
A little peace is hard to find
My every thought is undermined
By all the history inside
[Chorus]
Could it be that, I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could it be that, my habit is to find a place to hide?
Could it be that, sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could it be that, I'm only being me?
[Bridge]
I know I hear the words you said, over and over again
I just can't get them through my head, there's just too many voices
Must be like living with the dead, waiting for me to begin
To do the things I have said, and for this I'm sorry
So there's some truth to what you say
[Chorus]
Could it be that, I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could it be that, my habit is to find a place to hide?
Could it be that, sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could it be that, I'm only being me?
Blow Away Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Live in my head for just one day
I see myself and look away
The road is showing now on my face
Soon I'll disappear with... I'll disappear without a fucking trace
[Chorus]
Faces that I've seen turn old and grey
I've lost too many friends along the way
Memories I never thought would fade
Well, they fade and blow away
[Verse 2]
I wish that I could disappear
Unzip my skin and leave it here
So I could be no one again
And never let nobody... I'd let nobody... I'd let nobody in
[Chorus]
Faces that I've seen turn old and grey
I've lost too many friends along the way
Memories I never thought would fade
They fade and blow away
[Verse 3]
So now the walls are closing in
Because in life you sink or swim
Sometimes these shoes don't feel right in my head
Feel like a book that can't be... a book that can't be... a book that can't be read
[Chorus]
Faces that I've seen turn old and grey
I've lost too many friends along the way
Memories I never thought would fade
They fade and blow away
Intro Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thank you to the people in my life
For putting up with me
And thank you for the time you've sacrificed
All on account of me
[Chorus]
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
[Verse 2]
Fuck you to the jaded and the fake
Like to see what you would do
Fuck you and the judgments that you make
We're not all perfect just like you, like you, like you
[Chorus]
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
All the times I didn't say
All the times I didn't say
[Outro]
Thank you to the people in my life
For putting up with me
