I've tried, to hide
But I can't sleep at night
Everything I think about
Makes me feel like a version of myself

They tell, their lies
And we all synchronize
Look to, the sky
Because it's almost over

We want, the truth
Give us the absolute
We need, your help
Cause we've got nothing

We want, the truth
Give us the absolute
We need, your help
Cause we've got nothing left to lose
I know, we've tried
This thing a million times
But put me out
Cause I'm on fire

Don't talk, if you
Are going to tell me the truth
Don't tell me you know
You've got everything under control

We can't have it all
But we can break the fall
This time I'm letting go
Cause I can't take it anymore

We want, the truth
Give us the absolute
We need, your help
Cause we've got nothing

We want, the truth
Give us the absolute
We need, your help
Cause we've got nothing left to lose

I know, we've tried
This thing a million times
But put me out
Cause I'm on fire

. . .


At times I find my mind unwinds and I don't think when I walk,
Run into things and fall down
It's coming around again and I've found sometimes
I don't think when I talk
And put my foot in my mouth
And sometimes when I, I look at me
And wish I could be somebody else
Sometimes I throw myself and let go, but never no
Intention to see a picture of me and trap myself

All this time, we've been mislead,
...Does anyone care at all?

[Chorus]
Sometimes I fall asleep and then I lose control
I try to find my way out without letting go
And will I lose my mind if it comes back this time?
If i dont turn out perfect will you be a friend of mine?

It's coming around again and i've found sometimes I sit
When I should get up and just walk away
Sometimes I pretend and act like I do
But don't listen to a word you say
And sometimes when I start talking out loud
Should just shut my mouth and walk away
Sometimes I feel like maybe it's real and think like nobody else
Too close to myself and suffocate

Are you ready to crawl out?
Are you ready to take my hand and see?
Are you ready to crawl out?
From within the slow bleed?
From within the slow bleed?
From within the slow bleed?
Take this away from me

. . .


Every time I call you on the phone
I listen to it ring but no one's home
I can't explain the energy that
You give me when I'm left here alone

And every time I pass you on the street
You won't even turn and look at me
I never would of thought that things could
Go this far but please believe me

I'll pick you up, won't let you fall
I'll build your trust and it won't hurt at all,
Your only drug will let you down,
I'm through now, so take me and blow me away

[Chorus]
When I feel numb I'll let you know,
I won't become what I was before,
You cannot kill what's not your creation,
This is the Art of Breaking

I think I might just lose my mind
If I have to watch this one more time
I can't explain how many times i've
Stayed for you when you were on my mind

No one ever said that it was easy
So come out of the cold and stop your bleeding
I never would of thought that things could
Go this far, but please believe me

Are you gonna run away, and leave me here alone?
Are you gonna run away, and leave me here?

. . .


It's just the state of affection
Just need something to cure the infection
I don't want to be your misconception
No, no, don't want to break the connection
It's just the pent up aggression
That drives me into this direction
If I had to ask just one question
"Oh no, how come they don't listen?"

It don't want to slip, I don't want to fall,
I don't want to care, or be here at all,
I don't want to crash, I don't want to burn,
I won't want to forget what I'v learned

[Chorus]
I'm a stranger that no one can see
A stranger to every part of me
I'm a stranger to all that I know
A stranger, everywehre I go

Sometimes I don't hate but I want to
Blinded by the reason I found you
It's just a feeling I get when I'm around you
Can you relate to what I'm going through?
How much farther will I get?
Man, I feel like such a moving targer
how many times will I slip before I find it?
Until then I guess I'll just keep climbing

It's so hard when you're a loser
Heaven help us find out way
And it's so hard cuause I'm a loser
Heaven help me feel okay

. . .


Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath
The undertow creeps in slow
Everyone owns a gun deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide

Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath
The undertow creeps in slow
Everyone owns a gun deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide

Help me help you they wont be there
Help me help you they won't see

It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts

Drop the switch, scratch the itch, watch it grow
Inch by inch, the cutting board, watch it swing to and frau
Everyone carries one deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide

Wash it off, take the loss, let it go
Take it in, drink it up, we can just take it slow
Everyone carries one deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide

Help me help you they wont be there
Help me help you they won't see

It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts

It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts

And it hurts when you're lonely
And I'm standing right beside you there
And it hurt when you told me
That you told me that you tried this on your own

Hope you never hurt
Hope you never cry
Hope you never lose your way tonight
Hope you never crumble
Hope you never fall
Hope you never throw away the

Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath, watch it swing

It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts

It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts

And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts

. . .


I need your breath to stay alive and make me feel this way
And I need your eyes to look inside and watch how we collide

One more time around and I don't think I'll be allowed
It's the time to tell you

Take me, make me, break,
Watch me get wicked and drop like a hand grenade
Take me, make me, break,
Watch me get wicked and drop like a hand grenade
What's up is comin' down
And I hope no one's around when it falls

I find it hard to take, sometimes I feel like I could break
And I hope you hear my prayer tonight
Can you hear my cries?

Take me, make me, break
Watch me get wicked like a hand grenade
Take me, make me, break
Watch me get wicked and drop like a hand grenade

Hey you, tell me what you want me to do
Explode like a hand grenade
Hey man, tell me what you want me to say
I'll drop like a hand grenade
Hey!

. . .


Look, listen to my voice
If you're making the hcoice
Tell me all the girls and the boys
Either scream or rejoice
Let's make that noise
Either move or we will all be destroyed

[Chorus]
Move and show me what you can do
When you step into the circle and shake like we do
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it

Can you hear me? Stop, look, listen to my voice,
It was never my choice to feel all alone
This is my home
Back up , you don't know if you've never been here,
You've never been to the place inside, I face my fears
It takes everything I am

If you come near me, stop, look, listen to my voice
If you're making the choice tell all the girls and hte boys
Either scream or rejoice
Let's make that noise
Eitehr move or we will all be destroyed
Back up and let go if you've never been here,
You've never been to the place inside, I face my fears,
It takes everything I am

[Chorus]

I come crashing to the floor
And I know there must be more like me
I've seen this all before, I can't carry this anymore, break free
Breath, and leave until the storm is over
'Cause underneath, there's a diamond passin gover
So breath, let's leave until the storm is over,
Because I want to take you away

[Chorus]

. . .


I'm too scared to move, too scared to lose
Tell me what I am supposed to do
I'm too close to see you, but too far to touch
And too many times I"ve not done enough

I'm too close to see you, too far to touch,
And too many times I've not done enough
I'm too strong to hurt you, but too weak to crush
I want to, oh, oh let's go

[Chorus]
Oh-oh let's go everyone out the door
When you hear it go, hear it go, hit the floor
Let's go everyone hit the floor
When you hear it go, hear it go out the door
Oh-oh, let's go hit the floor, oh-oh here we go, here we go

I'm too scared to choose, scared to refuse
Tell me what I am supposed to do?
I'm too wrong to be you, too right to blush
And too many times I've not done enough

Tonight I walk alone no matter where I've been
No matter whete I'm goin', I know
Green lights mean time to go
But I won't let htem in 'cause I might lose control

. . .


I know the way you feel
The way you view incompetence
So we have to remedy
Our extreme lack of confidence

I love the way you move
You cover me like oxygen
Touched by your innocence
We come to you with hearts open

I love the way you are
The way you move, the way you speak,
And I like the way you heal
The hole inside, that's incomplete

I know the way you feel
The way you view incompetence
I have to remedy
And make this up again

And when I feel this way, it's hard not to let...

[Chorus]
Go, when I feel, like I feel, the way I feel
Go, I"m into you, just help me find a way this time
Go, when I feel, like I feel, the way i feel
Go, let it grow, wind me up and let me go

I love the way you twist, the way you're so mysterious
We'll hav eto stay in line, to let you know we're serious
I know the way you've seen, the way your hands have covered me
Touched by your gratitude, I'll break the skin and come undone

Stand up, the itme is now
Look at the faces in the crowd,
Do you want to just be one?
Or will you choose to overcome?

Stretch, take off your hurt
Leave your anger in the dirt
No more feelings, let it work
Let the growing take over

. . .


Fill me in, turn me inside out
Sometimes I feel like just letting go and screaming out loud

Fill me up, sometimes it's so messed up
I feel like giving up but it's not far now

But it feels so far away,
Can't you pull me up and

Make me a believer, let you down
For the first time comes undone
If you let me, so don't put me down
And don't let this feeling slip away

Let me in, these walls are closing in
Sick of these holds I'm in
Stuck outside and looking back in

Close me up, these hands have had enough
I feel like giving up, but it's not far now
But it feels so far away,
Can't you pull me up and

Make me a believer, let you down
For the first time comes undone
If you let me, so don't put me down
And don't let this feeling slip away

Away, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
And tonight ignore me, ignore me,
You know I, I'm sorry, so sorry,
And I'm sorry

. . .


Taking hold, breaking in
The pressures on, need to circulate
Mesmerized and taken in
Moving slow, so it resonates
It's time to rest, not to sleep away
My thoughts alone, try to complicate
I'll do my best, to seek you out
And be myself, not impersonate

Tried so hard to not walk away
And when things didn't go my way
I'll still carry on and on just the same

I've always been strong
But can't make this happen
'Cause I need to breathe, I want to breathe you in
I want to breathe you in

I'm going in, so cover me
Your compass will, help me turn the page
The laughing stock, I'll never be
Because I won't let them take me

Took awhile to see all the love tha'ts around me
Through the highs and lows there's a truth that I've known
And it's You
