Oh how thoughts can be so deceiving. It haunts my bones and stops my breathing. But I've seen this all before. I know exactly how it all plays out, But not this time, no I swear, I won’t end up on the ground. And I know this won’t be the death of me. The end of me… Cause I know just who I am, And what life I can lead. It doesn't matter if I ever reach the top, They will never be the fall of me. But see this time around, I think I’ll say things with my chest cause, My voice has been sinking forever. Breath in. Breath out. That’s what I keep telling myself, So I won’t end up like a book on a shelf. Hauling towards the giants mouth, I catch an image of myself. Gasping for life behind his teeth, I won’t make this my reality. And I know this won’t be the death of me. The end of me… But still I feel like something lurks, over my shoulder. Cause I know just who I am, And what life I can lead. It doesn't matter if I ever reach the top, They will never be the fall of me. But see this time around, I think I’ll say things with my chest cause, My voice has been sinking forever. I can’t live life behind these walls, Like I have seen this all before.

Pilot Light 03:39
Countless nights til 2 am, Highs turn to lows, so I think I might need it again. My fingers feel like they been through the war, But as these days pass I feel myself wanting more. I don’t know what to think. I don’t know how to feel. I don’t know what fake and what is truly real. Cause all I’ll ever know is when to stop and go, When to take it fast and when to take it slow. I’d go through all this pain to fight it out and not runaway. (I’m not running away!) A fiery passion burns inside. To take a chance on the pilot light. So you think you found yourself on the better side? Failure on the right hemisphere, I forgot my landing gear. Mayday, our crashing landing was blind. Left you in the wreckage of our landing site. Lets fucking get it. As it all went up in flames, you said I was the one to blame. You stepped foot on that plane, putting miles between the mistakes. I don’t know what to think. I don’t know how to feel. I don’t know what fake and what is truly real. Cause all I’ll ever know is when to stop and go, When to take it fast and when to take it slow. I’d go through all this pain to fight it out and not runaway. (I’m not running away!) A fiery passion burns inside. To take a chance on the pilot light. But one thing you should keep in mind. You take what’s yours and I’ll take what’s mine. All things lost and never found. Amelia Earhart never touched the ground. Leaving for my red eyed flight, I’ll leave on the pilot light.

Oceanside 03:38
There’s a story in the back of my mind. It’s one I heard a thousand times. Bout a boy who wanted more, More than the life he had before. But when I saw you I couldn’t help myself, Unable to buy your love with wealth. We were meant for bigger things, I'd fly us away if I had the wings. Down by the Oceanside is where I see our lives. Sometime I can’t define what you mean to me… Let’s burn the cities down and feast upon the flames. We will scream out loud so everyone will know our names. No more questioning on how we got here or why. Until we die! Now close your eyes and take my hand We will run AS FAST AS WE CAN! To a place much far from hear, With no more darkness and no more fears. But in the darkest nights, you illuminate a light. To help me see past, what I couldn’t see. Let’s burn the cities down and feast upon the flames. We will scream out loud so everyone will know our names. No more questioning on how we got here or why. Until we die! I don’t know what the future holds, It’s something we’ll be wondering til were old. This world is ours to make a change, From the one we know and see today. Let’s burn the cities down and feast upon the flames. We will scream out loud so everyone will know our names. No more questioning on how we got here or why. Until we die!

There’s something more to you, more than meets the eye. You keep me up all day, you keep me up all night. I don’t know what we are, or what could be, I need this I need serenity. It’s funny how things seem to fall in place. It’s not about the catch, it’s about the chase. You left me humble and always wanting more, But now I’m stuck here listening to Count to Four. I want you all alone Cause I’m making this place right here my own. There’s a time to think and a time to act, But I’m so far in I can’t look back. Cause everyday it seems were losing ground, But something in me stops to turn around. To throw the weight on the world back on my back. It’s hard to see in the dark when it’s all pitch black. While I watch the world change before my eyes. I hold on to the things that we were deprived. Cause all along we fought for a better life. We did what we had to do was right. What was right… Just as my hands are tied, The situation sparks to life. Led here by northern lights, The beauty, I can’t blink twice. There’s a theory here, and I think that you know it. Yeah you know it. Where there's a will, there's a way. I wouldn’t be caught dead meddling in yesterday. I want you all alone Cause I’m making this place right here my own. There’s a time to think and a time to act, But I’m so far in I can’t look back. Cause everyday it seems were losing ground, But something in me stops to turn around. To throw the weight on the world back on my back. It’s hard to see in the dark when it’s all pitch black. These northern lights have led me, far from what I’ve come to know. But it’s not the dark that scares me, it’s the fear of never coming home. And I know when there’s nowhere to go, These northern lights will lead me home. These northern lights have led me, far from what I’ve come to know. But it’s not the dark that scares me, it’s the fear of never coming home.

Dagger 03:31
I’d stay here forever To watch the great fall with you. He said just go on without me, Cause I’m no good for you. But what if that never happened, And everything he said was the truth. Would you still sharpen your dagger? Cause I might need it for you. Well if seeing is believing, Then babe I think were bleeding. From this and through this, We will see what we missed. This cold is paralyzing, But it makes me who I am. You may take my life tonight, But I will die a free man. Cause I’d fight for anything, Just to make it out of here alive. Two kids with all their hits, Just trying to survive. I’m on the edge, but I won’t look down. A breath short of resting sound. If no one’s around when it all falls down, We'll never know if it made a sound. Well if seeing is believing, Then babe I think were bleeding. From this and through this, We will see what we missed. But what if we come to find, That the damage done inside Was too much to compare, Or realize it was there. When the waves wash ashore, They clear the remnants from before. But I can’t say the same for you, No I can’t say the same for you. Well if seeing is believing, Then babe I think were bleeding. From this and through this, We will see what we missed. But what if we come to find, That the damage done inside Was too much to compare, Or realize it was there.
