Running On Empty

Got lost along the way
,
And drowned in apathy
,
I found my courage buried underneath,
It took a while to find out where it lays
New day rising,
Living to get by,
Silver lining,
Only a matter of time
Tried to push on and on,
Up against the wind,
But chasing the clouds away is such a waste of time,
Higher than ever, Floating for a while
But chasing the clouds away is such a waste of time
I can’t give in
,
But I’m running on empty,
They don’t seem to care
,
But look closely at the gaps
And you will see the light shine through
Are you listening,
Or just drowning out the noise?
Can’t resist it,
I’m left without a choice
,
Under the weather, Floating for a while
But chasing the clouds away is such a waste of time
I can’t give in
,
But I’m running on empty,
They don’t seem to care
,
But look closely at the gaps,
I can’t give in
,
But I’m running on empty
,
It’s such an easy lie
,
Only living to get by
I’m running on empty, Feels like I'm wasting time,
Picking up the pieces to fix my broken mind,
I ain’t listening to a single thing they say
,
Their words are empty and I don’t care anyway
Whatever difference it makes I’m here to give it a try
,
It’s so damn easy to see it’s more than meets the eye
,
I ain’t scared, just taking my time now
,
But I can’t tell, which way to go / I’m not afraid to take control
I wanna fight for what is real
I wanna climb on back behind the wheel
A long way to go, but it starts right here
Change comes in waves and hurts just like it should

Greed

Verse:
There’s a feeling inside
,
That this could be the night,
Count your blessings
And be on your way, my friend
There’s a fire inside
A spark turns into light
,
Count your blessings
and be on your way, alright
Pre-Chorus:
When the day finally fades and light begins to change
,
The lost souls crowd the bar and city streets
,
We’re all searching for the same old undisclosed desires
,
There’s something in the air tonight, I swear
Oh don’t you save us from ourselves tonight
,
Necause our fire’s still burning bright
No way to tame us, we’re looking for a fight
Because our fire still burns
Verse
Pre-Chorus
Don’t pray for us
,
These counters serve as our confessionals
(2x)
Don’t you pray for us
,
These counters serve as our confessionals
,
Living and dying
,
Just after sunset
,
The light fades
We’re not down till we’re out,
It’s a fever pitch
,
We’re not searching for something that’s outta reach
,
Nowhere to go, so we’re stuck in this soulless town
,
Where heaven nor hell ain’t enough just to slow us down,
In this soulless town,
Where I’ll be waiting
,
Forevermore

Show me your true colours,
What’s there to fear?
I’ll shoulder your burden,
You’re gonna thank me my dear
Chorus:
What are you made of?
I wanna see
What are you scared of?
Caught in a fantasy
What do you stand for?
Except yourself,
It’s all part of your game
Show me you true colours,
I’m eager to find out,
Tell me what you believe in
Or is there any doubt?
Are we just chasing brightness?
I think it’s time to get out
Chorus
New frontiers
I’m searching for purpose
But nothing’s real, No nothing is real,
Just loose ends,
I’m sick and I’m tired of it
,
Time to get out
,
I’m dying to feel something real,
Feel something real
Show me you true colors,
There’s nothing to fear
,
What’s the point in anything?
What keeps you here?
Are we just chasing brightness?
I think it’s time to get out
Chorus
New frontiers
I’m searching for purpose
But nothing’s real,
It's all smoke and mirrors

Modern Nature

There‘s a debt to pay
It‘s like noose hanging around our neck,
I feel it every day,
A constant shadow looms over our heads
Chorus:
Reap what you sow,
Modern nature serves,
Feed your needs,
The plot is well rehearsed,
But the storm is yet to come
Throw caution to the wind,
Never have I felt this way before,
Ravelling in sin,
The waves keep coming to wash us all ashore,
Keep the peace,
But I have a feeling we’re waiting on a war to come
Chorus
Bridge:
Well, we take what we need,
Modern nature serves,
Can‘t satisfy the greed,
That drives our darkest thoughts.
So go on fill the well over the edge,
We bleed her dry
,
It’s a cycle,
But modern nature serves
Chorus
Bridge

Phantom Pain
08:04
|
|
||
|
The sound of the bomb shells ringin’
Face down in the dirt
They lie in the trenches longing
For a sight to behold
Waiting for their finest hour
All their lives, they’ve thrown ‘em all away
We’ll seize the day
We’re all dead, come tomorrow
Oh, phantom pain
I can’t remember what came before
The fear crawling in our bones
No future, no past
The silence is devastating
When you can’t turn your back
Still feeling the phantom pain now
All our lives, we’ve thrown ‘em all away
We’ll seize the day
We’re all dead, come tomorrow
Oh, phantom pain
I can’t remember what came before
The river’s running low
Down the drain
The walls are closing in
Caught again
I’ve felt this way before
Way back then
A part of us is gone
Gave it away
It’ll never be the same
Lo and behold, our faith is gone
Oh, faith is gone
Come and take us home
What we lost
Can never be reclaimed
Faith is gone
Oh, phantom pain
And all we know
Will never be the same
And all I found in search of answers was
the bitter taste of guilt and medicine
Will I feel this phantom pain
Until the day it all just falls away?
I can’t remember how it used to be
Can’t fight the feeling, It stays the same
Another day goes by and I don’t feel the sun
Oh, how many lives have we wasted and thrown away?

Reach For Me
04:07
|
|
||
|
Clouds are rolling in,
Over the peeks
All to no avail,
The steady climb,
You fight your demons,
Every night
You get defeated,
And hide away
The weight that pulls you down,
It‘s in your head
I haven‘t seen you smile,
For days,
I know your quarry,
Been down that path,
Now don‘t you worry
It‘ll be okay
Chorus:
Reach for me,
We‘ll make it right
All the worries
Inside your mind Caught in your ways
No guiding light
Been fighting the odds
For all your life
You‘re holding out the night,
As your hope keeps fading,
You‘re searching for a light,
And it‘s so frustrating,
You‘re holding out the night,
As the wind keeps blowing,
You‘re searching for a light
,
To guide your way out of apathy
Chorus
When you’re all alone,
When you feel let down,
Reach for me,
We’ll make it right

Open Cages
12:16

|
Out of the blue,
You felt the longing
,
For something true
,
It’s been a long while
,
But I’m still searching
,
And so are you
Pre-Chorus:
Don’t you realize it’s what they crave?
A pinch of hope to keep the darkness at bay
,
You know the drill, It suits you well,
Your lack of faith has kept you wondering
:
"Do we pay the price for our sins?
Or will it finally make us whole again?"
Chorus:
Not a safehaven,
No trip to paradise,
Longing to redefine our purpose
,
Living in open cages
,
So paralyzed
,
I think it’s time to let it go
There’s no place for us here
,
We’re on our own
,
We try the best that we can
,
With the time we’re given
,
Oh, it’s time to let it go
I see it coming,
Slowly and steady
,
Drowning us out
,
Reaching for something
,
Only a vision
,
It’s hard to see
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Step out of your cage
(Don’t trip!
)
Leave it all behind (Don't trip!)
Step out of your cage
,
Leave it all behind
,
Stand and feel your worth
,
One of a kind (x3)
