1. THE REMEDY

Split decisions, fighting fixes
I test ride my memory
Tunnel vision, I give in and put
An end to make-shifting relief
This game has got me shaking hands
With my own enemies
I see faces, but none of them
Not one believes in me

And at the end of the road
I'll hate to say I told you so

I don't need you to find resolve
Cause when it's said and done
Down to one
I'll hate to say I told you so
And as your promises dissolve
I'll get bragging rights
You'll realize that from day one
I always told you so

Go on living making killings
Off of all your broken dreams
I'll stay in within the out
And I bet you won't find one weak bone in me
It's been a long time coming but no need for sympathy
I made my mind, I'll spend my time
Just making you believe

And at the end of the road
I'll hate to say I told you so

I don't need you to find resolve
Cause when it's said and done
Down to one
I'll hate to say I told you so
And as your promises dissolve
I'll get bragging rights
You'll realize that from day one
I always told you so

I know this doesn't sound like it's the best of me
But it feels so good to know what I've got
I found a remedy

Found me a fix for all these broken memories
Something to cure the sick and suffering
Cause I did what I wanted to
Rest assured, no more time to lose
I found a remedy

I don't need you to find resolve
Cause when it's said and done
Down to one
I'll hate to say I told you so
And as your promises dissolve (And as your promises dissolve)
I'll get bragging rights
You'll realize that from day one
I always told you so

Cause I did what I wanted to
I told you so
No more time to lose
I told you so

I found a remedy


2. A LITTLE FASTER

You keep calling it a crash and burn
Just wait your turn
You might have time to speak
There barely was a lesson learned
Cause it returned no favors back to me

I'm sure it tasted oh so sweet
But it was never good enough for me
I bit the tongue behind my teeth
But it was never good enough for me

You say you always keep your word
Show me what you're after
I thought you promised me the world
Tell me what you're after
Go on and take it way too far
Cause here we are waiting once again
You say you always keep your word
Show me what you're after
Just a little faster

Are mine the only eyes that see
So steadily, this cut and dry routine?
Even when you're by my side
I still need time to feel the company

I'm sure it tasted oh so sweet
But it was never good enough for me
I bit the tongue behind my teeth
But it was never good enough for me

You say you always keep your word
Show me what you're after
I thought you promised me the world
Tell me what you're after
Go on and take it way too far
Cause here we are waiting once again
You say you always keep your word
Show me what you're after
Just a little faster
Just a little faster

Hold your breath, now, the bad blood's wearing thin
From the pain that settles in
When we learn to much too soon

Hold your breath, now, the bad blood's wearing thin
From the pain that settles in
When we learn to much too soon
Too soon

You say you always keep your word
Show me what you're after
I thought you promised me the world
Tell me what you're after
Go on and take it way too far
Cause here we are waiting once again
You say you always keep your word
Show me what you're after

It was never good enough for me
(It was never good enough for me)

Show me what you're after
Just a little faster


3. WISH YOU AWAY

Where do you go when you listen
to nobody else but yourself?
Where do you go?
You're so far from the willing.
You're in such a rush not to tell
so where do you go?
Oh, when getting in where you fit in
doesn't get you one single thing,
Where will you go?
When the secrets
that you've been keeping
get a hold of nothing at all,
I'd like to know.

Can I wish you away
until you find your place
in this world it's so hard
to get a feel.
And all you do is wait
for that one little taste.
You're so caught up inside
to know what's real.
But until you've had all you can take
I'll wish you away.

So where do you go when forgetting
what you had in store for yourself?
Drags me along...
Because you keep running in circles.
You're blinded by everything
Just ask me if I know where to go.

Can I wish you away
until you find your place
in this world it's so hard
to get a feel.
And all you do is wait
for that one little taste.
You're so caught up inside
to know what's real.
But until you've had all you can take...
Oh, but until you've had all you can take...

Can I wish you away?
(Would you really go there alone?)

Can I wish you away?
(Would you really go there alone?)

You said you'd be gone just another minute.
You're too far off to still be in it.
Don't act like your sleeping
when I can see you're wide awake.

Can I wish you away
until you find your place
in this world it's so hard
to get a feel.
And all you do is wait
for that one little taste.
You're so caught up inside
to know what's real.

Can I wish you away
until you find your place
in this world it's so hard
to get a feel.
And all you do is wait
for that one little taste.
You're so caught up inside
to know what's real.
But until you've had all you can take
I'll wish you away.


4. BACKBONE

Your game
Your lovely game
Is like pain and suffering
Your fame
Your newly found fame
Is like repeating history
You now that keeping me around
Makes me just quiver at the sounds
Wish I could feed their open mouths
With something worth it
Where is your backbone
Cause you're looking very flimsy
I'm breaking down your paper wall
Where is your backbone
If you hear it sing it with me
Everybody take the fall
You look so sound asleep
I can't believe
That your backbone's missing
And you never had a clue at all
Believe
No I can't believe
How little all this means to me
You'll see
You'll just have to see
For yourself the playback is deafening
Keeping me around
Makes me just quiver at the sounds
Wish I could feed their open mouths
With something worth it
Where is your backbone
Cause you're looking very flimsy
I'm breaking down your paper wall
Where is your backbone
If you hear it sing it with me
Everybody take the fall
You look so sound asleep
I can't believe
That your backbone's missing
And you never had a clue at all
You never had a clue at all
You could've been something
You could've been something memorable
I should've said something
I should've said
Where is your backbone
Cause you're looking very flimsy
I'm breaking down your paper wall
Where is your backbone
If you hear it sing it with me
Everybody take the fall
You look so sound asleep
I can't believe
That your backbone's missing
And you never had a clue at all
You look so sound asleep
I can't believe
That your backbone's missing
And you never had a clue at all


5. DEATHBED

I'd hate to break it to you now
But that reoccurring sound
In you ear makes it perfect
Was it clear, my whole purpose?
I'm just fine with or without
Having this inner selfish doubt

I'll fall hard
You'll fall harder
I'm along
You're so startled

Break a sweat, desperate lover
Do you feel all alone?

I fell asleep on your deathbed
In a hole where your head rests
I'm facing truth so unfamiliar
I just close my eyes and
Fall asleep on your deathbed
Can we be resurrected?
I'm facing truth so unfamiliar
I'm your saint, will you be my savior?

I always hoped to bring this down
Words exchanging all around
You spoke quick, I spoke faster
Take you pick, take mine after
Bit the time went ticking
And hearts went missing
It's not that I waited on

Break a sweat, desperate lover
Do you feel all alone?

I fell asleep on your deathbed
In a hole where your head rests
I'm facing truth so unfamiliar
I just close my eyes and
Fall asleep on your deathbed
Can we be resurrected?
I'm facing truth so unfamiliar
I'm your saint, will you be my savior?

We both agreed that this was best
But I can't risk to lose my rest
I closed my eyes now you're well on your way
I bend and fold at your request
Now it's my time to take a step
I closed my eyes now you're well on your way

I fell asleep on your deathbed
In a hole where your head rests
I'm facing truth so unfamiliar
I just close my eyes and
Fall asleep on your deathbed
Can we be resurrected?
I'm facing truth so unfamiliar
I'm your saint, will you be my savior?


6. JUST IN TIME

Something wrong with me
I'm not getting along with me
My eyes pasted on the ceiling
I can't get my mind to stop working

I knew all the blackest blues
You were all my favorite tunes
This was all I had to lose

Tried out for size
to my surprise
I can't fit in anybody's arms
No more disguise
Cause I realize
I can't fit in anybody's arms
Oh you, oh you left just in time

Should have known to turn
Get ahead of the curve but I've learned
the failure sounds all to familiar to me
to just keep my mind to stop working

I knew all the blackest blues
You were all my favorite tunes
This was all I had to lose

Tried out for size
to my surprise
I can't fit in anybody's arms
No more disguise
Cause I realize
I can't fit in anybody's arms
Oh you, oh you left just in time

As the light
Darkens again
I lose myself within
Cause in the end
Still I'm reminded
Still I'm reminded

Tried out for size
to my surprise
I can't fit in anybody's arms
No more disguise
Cause I realize
I can't fit in anybody's arms
Tried out for size
I can't fit in anybody's arms
No more disguise
Cause I realize
I can't fit in anybody's arms
Oh you, oh you left just in time
You left just in time


7. STORIES

A cold night wasn't trouble enough for him
another swallow never seemed like enough for him
They say the past is the past
but it never treated me like this
He couldn't ask for a better understanding of how
what goes around comes back around twice as fast
He's got no hope for a cure
so he'll put himself to sleep

Now we just sit back, we sit back
while we watch all of them react

So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
the start to the finish
come on and let me hear it
speak out and use up all the time you're given
the start to the finish
come on and let me hear it
go on
go ahead and tell your story

she always hoped for him to take her word for word
never knew what it felt like feeling this unsure
she's got her eyes on the time
but there's no use waiting there for him
she's not in the world alone
but she wanted to put herself to sleep

So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
the start to the finish
come on and let me hear it
speak out and use up all the time you're given
the start to the finish
come on and let me hear it
go on
go ahead and tell your story

your stories [x4]

now we just sit back, we sit back
while we watch all of them react

So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
the start to the finish
come on and let me hear it
speak out and use up all the time you're given
the start to the finish
come on and let me

Tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
the start to the finish
come on and let me hear it
you've got to speak out and use up all the time you're given

it's time to come on, go ahead and tell your story


8. I CAN'T DECIDE

Cold afternoon
I sleep in some
Back of the room
Avoid the sun
You turned off the light and I lost a lung
You called it a night
You had me won
Who told you to leave me all alone
Leave me in the dark
Leave me in the cold
Who told you to leave before I could show
You half of the man you wanted to know
But I had to face your last goodbye
But I had to face your last goodbye
The look on my face
My bloodshot eyes
So who won the war
Deep down inside
I can't decide
I can't decide
Only the dark can feel my touch
No kind of remark could burn this much
Cause I'm as cold as december
And I won't surrender
Until you give me back my life
Who told you to leave me all alone
Leave me in the dark
Leave me in the cold
Who told you to leave before I could show
You half of the man you wanted to know
But I had to face your last goodbye
But I had to face your last goodbye
The look on my face
My bloodshot eyes
So who won the war
Deep down inside
I can't decide
I can't decide
I can't see the sun in the morning
Please send me a warning
Next time I go through this again
All out of luck
All out of time
Who would have thought I'd lose my mind
No I can't decide
I can't decide
Who told you to leave me all alone
Leave me in the dark
Leave me in the cold
Who told you to leave before I could show
You half of the man you wanted to know
But I had to face your last goodbye
But I had to face your last goodbye
The look on my face
My bloodshot eyes
So who won the war
Deep down inside
I can't decide
No I can't decide


9. SORE WINNER

I walk, you run
Feel so outdone
You always wanted it to be one on one
I cost, you're free
Make me believe
That you've been innocent 'til proven guilty

So, scrape my hands and knees
Softer now, I plead for your forgiveness 'cause the world can't stand to witness
You keep tearing me down looks like I met my match today

Play me in everything
Make me a rival
But you still don't see that you're
Sore winner, a sore winner
Losing is not your thing
You can't hold the title
But you still don't see that you're
Sore winner, a sore winner

I want, you feed
Pick up your speed
There can't be saving if it's already been won
I play for keeps but you don't listen
Remember me? I'm what your missing
Missing out on (Missing out on)
Stuck in this competition

So, scrape my hands and knees
Softer now, I read your mindless interest as we're coming down to inches
You keep tearing me down looks like I met my match today

Play me in everything
Make me a rival
But you still don't see that you're
Sore winner, a sore winner
Losing is not your thing
You can't hold the title
But you still don't see that you're
Sore winner, a sore winner

Play me in everything
Make me a rival
But you still don't see that you're
Sore winner, a sore winner
Losing is not your thing
You can't hold the title
But you still don't see that you're (Still don't see that you're)
Sore winner, a sore winner

Play me in everything (Play me!)
Make me a rival (Make me!)
But you still don't see that you're
A sore winner

Realness...


10. BURN THE NIGHT AWAY

It's 3 in the morning and I'm still not sleeping
Cause I'm finally running your race
The mountains you've been climbing seem like they have steepened
Since I decided to pick up the pace
If the whole world told me I should disappear
Could I fall right next to you
Just let me burn the night away
Oh baby let me burn the night away
By thinking of the simple things you say to me
That get me through the day
You keep me wide awake
You keep me wide awake
So don't look back the hourglass is running empty
You've got me buried with your every move
Your fine lines have me at a loss of memory
I'm right beside you in an empty room
If the whole world told me I should disappear
Could I fall right next to you
Just let me burn the night away
Oh baby let me burn the night away
By thinking of the simple things you say to me
That get me through the day
And it's so hard to catch your feelings
When you always run away
You keep me wide awake
You keep me wide awake
You're making it hard
For me to just start
Over like were new
Oh the whole world told me I should disappear
Cause I'm falling in love with you
Just let me burn the night away
Oh baby let burn the night away
By thinking of the simple things you say to me
That get me through the day
And it's so hard to catch your feelings
When you always run away
You keep me wide awake
You keep me wide awake


11. THE WORLD CALLING

It's gonna get harder from here
We've gotta get smarter
To make it out alive
Cause you say stop and we say go
Don't wanna be your
Tenth caller on the radio
So don't bother cutting me off short tonight
We let our words speak for themselves
Don't take it all so far
Don't make it that much harder
Than it already is for you to stand alone
For you...

To wake up knowing you've got the day
To take on without feeling okay
To make yourself unwilling to sleep away
(Sleep away the pain)
Don't take off running without my say
Don't pay that price
You thought you'd pay
You've got the choice You've got the time of day
Just don't sleep away the pain

Hold on tight to the things you're given
The camera caught it all
Aren't we all forgiven now?
Cause you say stop and we say go
The world outside is calling
On the telephone
They need answers
So we'll let them know
Tonight, we let our words
Speak for themselves
But maybe I'm not right
We're so damaged by the sunlight
Can we make it through together
Cause honey
I don't like this kind of weather
When i'm with you...

To wake up knowing you've got the day
To take on without feeling okay
To make yourself unwilling to sleep away
(Sleep away the pain)
Don't take off running without my say
Don't pay that price
You thought you'd pay
You've got the choice
You've got the time of day
Just don't sleep away the pain

It's gonna get harder from here
We've gotta get smarter
To get this all in line
Cause you say stop and we say go

To wake up knowing you've got the day
To take on without feeling okay
To make yourself unwilling to sleep away
(Sleep away the pain)
Don't take off running without my say
Don't pay that price
You thought you'd pay
You've got the choice
You've got the time of day
Just don't sleep away the pain
