The Grim Goodbye (hidden track)
. . .


I remember a year ago I was standing in the crowd
waiting for my chance to break through, my chance to live again.

Now it seems I've found some friends who finally understand what it takes
to make this dream come true, we'll be here till the end.

Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
come dance with me and don't you fake it.

Shake it, break it get off your feet,
get close to me and don't you fake it.

Shout and scream my friends, connect with me and we'll pretend
this night will never end (wo oh) this night will never end.
Just let go you'll see together we'll do anything
this night will never end wo oh this night will never end.

Oh, wish I could thank you all for what you have done
and all of the things that you have shared with me.
Oh, wish I could take you all too where I must go wish I could take you all
I'll take you with my heart.

"Dance, get on the floor, shake, get on the floor, break, get on the floor"
(repeat)

Shake it, break it, get off your feet
come dance with me and don't you fake it
Shake it, break it get off your feet
get close to me and don't you fake it.

I'm reaching out here to show you what we've been through
I think there's something we can share, that's completely new
or maybe I'm just insane
Shake it break it get off your feet

. . .


Feeling sorrow
for all the things you had to steal and borrow.
Bring back the days we had before tomorrow
relapse and then collapse into yourself once more.

Waiting for this life to change seems like it's taking me forever
and I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day
This life is going to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day

Void I can't fill.
The doctor tells me to relax and stand still
Prescribes me a new pill to quell my anger.
Wish I could make her pull herself up off the floor

Waiting for this life to change seems like it's taking me forever
and I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day
This life is going to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day
Again, into the day, again

Waiting for this life to change seems like it's taking me forever
and I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day
This life is going to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day

Take time to contemplate who you are and where you want to go.
Take time to contemplate who you are and where you want to go.

Into the day.

. . .


(It's time to let it go)

The world's got a funny way of turning round on you
when a friend tries to stab you right in the face
Losing faith in everything I hoped and knew
Don't sweat it, set off false pretense

Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
ca-ca-ca-cause you know

All alone you know you've got, you've got the best of me
You were wrong and I'm laughing right in your face
I cannot believe you blamed you were my family
Don't sweat it, set off false pretense

Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
ca-ca-ca-cause you know

(It's time to let it go)

I can't seem to understand it how you've turned out to be so cold
It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke

. . .


Hey girl, you know you drive me crazy.
One look puts the rhythm in my head.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around.
I see what's going down.

Cover up with makeup in the mirror,
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again.
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect;
Every action in this world will bear a consequence.
If you wait around forever you will surely drown.
I see what's going down.

I see the way you go and say you're right again,
Say your right again
Need my lecture

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

Face down in the dirt she says "this doesn't hurt"
She says "I've finally had enough"

Face down in the dirt she says "this doesn't hurt"
She says "I've finally had enough"

One day she will tell you that she has had enough.
It's coming round again.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

Face down in the dirt she says "this doesn't hurt"
She says "I've finally had enough"

Face down in the dirt she says "this doesn't hurt"
She says "I've finally had enough"

Listen close as we wait for a sound to go

It's true, we are
we are destined to fail [x2]

And there's a problem here with our society
The absence of my tears is my sobriety
I have a growing fear and you're only helping me
Am I the only one who realizes it's true?

Beat but I'm not broken
Got me through way around
Leave with your words spoken
Show me how to listen

You're persecuting me, showing hypocrisy
I have a remedy for your insecurity
It's all the same, sadly
Nobody works for free
Am I the only one who realizes it's true

Beat but I'm not broken
Got me through way around
leave with your words spoken
Show me how to listen

Let your light shine through me
Take this hate I can release
Help me make the blood see
Misery loves its company

When I dream, I see dawn turn into dusk, into dusk

Beat but I'm not broken
Got me through way around
Leave with your words spoken
Show me how to listen

Let your light shine through me
Take this hate I can release
Help me make the blood see
Misery loves its company

It's true, we are
we are destined to fail [x2]

. . .


Softly we tremble tonight,
picture perfect fading smiles are all that's left in site,
I said I'd never leave you'll never change
I'm not satisfied with where I'm at in life.

Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
You said, you said that you would die for me….

We made plans to grow old,
believe me there was truth in all those stories that I told.
Lost in a simple game cat and mouse are we the same people as before this came to light?

Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
You said, you said that you would die for me…

You must live for me too'...
For me too...yeah, yeah…
You said that you would die for me…

Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
You said, you said that you would die for me…

. . .


The moon is shining bright
The mood is feeling right
I'll kiss you on your neck
People'll stare and we won't care
We're high above the ground
We're nowhere to be found

Empowered by adrenaline
Feel like I'm born again
Again, I am repeating myself
And I know it is gone for you
To sit and pretend

Damn regret, I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me
'Cos I'm real fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you persuaded me to let you go?

I'm wishing you were here
My weakness is my fear
Alone I am myself
No reason, life for me to care
Distracted by the sound
I hear footsteps all around

Empowered by adrenaline
Feel like I'm born again
Again, I am repeating myself
And I know it's gone for you
To sit and pretend

Damn regret, I try to forget
Don't worry about me
'Cos I'm real fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you persuaded me to let you go?

You're the only one I turn to
When I feel like no-one's there
And when I'm lonely in my darkest hour
You give me the power
To sit and pretend

Damn regret, I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me
'Cos I'm real fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you persuaded me to let you go?

Did you think I forget?
Did you think I surrender myself to persuade you to let me go?
Did you think I forget?
Did you think I surrender myself to persuade you to let me go?

. . .


Don't tell me this is your last chance to change
Cuz if you do, you would be telling a lie but

I warned you
What could happen if you should decide
To live your life from 9 to 5
And I mourn you
For the detail that is left unsaid
Is a reminder of the time you bled
Return to days when you knew you still felt alive

Reveal the way you felt when
You could look inside

They sold you
Everything you need to fix you up
And you feel good now but you can't wake up
They found a way to reassure you

That everything would be okay(screaming)

Reach out today now I implore you to remember who you are
Return to days when you knew
You still you felt alive
Reveal the way you felt when
You could look inside

So you felt it, but you don't know,
Why you can't explain at all
Why you felt it
Cuz you don't know, no you don't know

Break the walls between building atrophy
Causing all your problems to recede
Break the walls between
Break the walls between
Causing all your pain
Causing all your pain
You'll never learn
Return to days when you knew you still felt alive
Reveal the way you felt when you could look inside

Take Back
The beat in your heart
Why Fight
When you can't be bought

Take Back
The beat in your heart
Why Fight
When you can't be bought

Take Back
The beat in your heart
Why Fight
When you can't be bought

Take Back
The beat in your heart
Why Fight
When you can't be bought

. . .


Well she never was the best,
Yeah at following the trends.
Stayed one step above the rest,
And even though it seemed,
Like the world was crashing on her,
Didn't let it hold her down,
Didn't hold her back,
Oh no, woah.

Don't worry you'll show them,
There's a fire in your eyes,
And I hope you'll let it burn.
There's a scream in your voice,
And I hope you will be heard.
There's a fire in your eyes,
And I hope you'll let it burn until you're heard,
You're heard.

Seventeen is just a test,
Yeah and I would recommend,
That you live with no regrets,
And even if it seems,
Like the world is crashing on you,
You shouldn't let it hold you down,
Shouldn't hold you back,
Oh no, woah.

Don't worry you'll show them,
There's a fire in your eyes,
And I hope you'll let it burn.
There's a scream in your voice,
And I hope you will be heard.
There's a fire in your eyes,
And I hope you'll let it burn until you're heard,
You're heard.

Relax girl,
Turn down the lights,
No one can see you shining.
Relax girl,
It'll be alright,
No one can stop you if you try.
Point of rhythm is the fall await in time,
To listen to the beating in your mind,
And if you will seek then you shall find,
Woah.

There's a fire in your eyes,
And I hope you'll let it burn.
There's a scream in your voice,
And I hope you will be heard.
There's a fire in your eyes,
And I hope you'll let it burn until you're heard,
You're heard

There's a fire in your eyes,
And I hope you'll let it burn.
There's a scream in your voice,
And I hope you will be heard.
There's a fire in your eyes,
And I hope you'll let it burn until you're heard,
You're heard.

Once there was a time when we could learn
all the simple pleasantries a follower should yearn
now all that I can do is watch them burn
and wish that I could save them all, or just one

See the Fake, everyday shaking hands of men, promising the end.
Hear Him Speak of all the things that we need to hear, to adhere

Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?

The visions that I've seen have left me torn
between the resurrection and the prophecy unborn
I think that I will document the fall
and say I hate to say it
but I told you all..

See the Fake, everyday shaking hands of men, promising the end
Hear Him Speak of all the things that we need to hear, to adhere.

Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries,
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries,
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, to end?

Your side, choose wise
your side, choose wise
your side choose while you can.

Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, to end, end?
When you change your mind is it going to end?

. . .


When I see your smile
tears roll down my face
I can't replace.

And now that I'm strong I have figured out
how this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul,
and I know ill find deep inside me, I can be the one.

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up for you forever
ill be there for you through it all,
even if saving you sends me to heaven.

Seasons are changing and waves are crashing
and stars are falling all for us
days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one.

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up for you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all,
even if saving you sends me to heaven.

Cause you're my
you're my
my true love
my whole heart
please don't throw that away.

Cause I'm here, for you
please don't walk away and
please tell me you'll stay, stay...

Use me as you will
pull my strings just for a thrill
and I know ill be okay
though my skies are turning gray.

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up for you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
even if saving you sends me to heaven.
(repeat)

. . .


Don't you try to take me down,
don't you try to take me over,
won't you try to break me?
The complexities moving in,
and I feel that I do not have the strength,
tragedies plaguing me solemnly
Its affecting my will

Wait now that I've found you,
situations from dark now change to gray
Disregarding my absence of memories,
its perpetually blinding me of sanity,
and just when I'm giving in,
as I try to scale these walls
Jericho falls around me
and I feel that I've strayed too long

And darkness is fading in…and darkness is real

Oh my eyes
oh closing slowly
I try

Fate seems to recreate,
I just can not escape,
Something holds me down and makes me act a way I can't explain
Even now I can feel it coming over me choking me,
as I'm falling behind
You can say you know me,
but you have no clue what my dreams could show you

And darkness is fading in, and darkness is real

Oh my eyes
oh closing slowly
I try

I
Can't
Can't win

I feel something deep inside me,
I feel deep inside
I feel something deep inside me and I can't let this go, whoa,
I feel something deep inside me and I can't let this go, whoa,

Lie, as I try to steer clear, and I try to stay sober
This is taking me over,
And my dreams complicate it…

I just can not let this go
I tried so many times to tell you
I just I can not let this go,
I just can not win

See you
I see you falling away
I see you..you
Killing me soflty
I see you….you falling away I see you….you

Don't take what's in front of me, open eyes can see I have everything
Tell you don't take what's in front of me, tell you don't take what's in me

Lie, which one lied?
When I feel it come a way, way that's why I try…lie

(Crowd singing)

I see you coming my way
dreams may fall more everyday
I see you looking my way

And I've tried just to separate dreams from reality watch to satisfy this wanting,
Try to stay righteous, try to stay sober, but then, I can't win

And I know you, and I know you, and I know you…
Lie
