Whatever makes you happy
Whatever helps you sleep
These lies make you the victim
Hurry and break on through, oh-oh oh woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah-oh
Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh
All is forgiven
Preemptively
Isn't it nice?
No need to worry
No need to wait!
(No need to wait)
No need to wait
(No need to wait)
No need to wait!
(No need to wait)
Oh!
These lies shackle the mind
The illusion feels real
Wake up, go back to the start
Before this kills you
In the end, you will find out
Those actions were for naught
If only to be born new
To submit yourself again
To submit yourself again
To submit yourself again!
No need to wait
(No need to wait)
No need to wait!
(No need to wait)
No need to wait
No need to wait
No need to wait

New Start

A road up to
Up to the city, so bright, so gritty
I'm here now, don't know what to do
I'm out, taking to the sidewalks
Tryin' to find a new start
As we dance around, our hindsight seems so clear
With each passing year, memories so loud, so clear
I know, I know, I've asked a lot of you
So glad you saw me through
Oh!
I lashed out, it's all I knew to do
How'd you take it? I can't get a read on you
This summer, the sun's beating harder than ever
Hope your heart is too
You know I love you, I always will
It's just sometimes, I can't sit still
It's always been there, it's something to fill
I've gotta take the chance, yeah
Wha-oh, wha-oh
Wha-oh oh oh ohhh
Through these lenses we see the colors we could be
Through these lenses we see the people we could be
Through these lenses we see the colors we could be
Tell me that you see it too
I know you do
Oh, tell me that you know it's true
I know you do
Oh, tell me that you see it too
I know you know
Tell me that you see it too
I know it's true

Searchin' for the peace I'd lost some time ago
Been out here so long that I don't even know
What it was that I had come out here to find
I wonder if I'd finally lost my mind
Don't know where I'm going
I only know where I have been
How is it everybody knows
But I'm still out here on my own?
Seconds turn to years before long
Does anything ever change when you're trapped inside?
You know, the queen, she only blooms one time
I wonder if I'll ever find a way
Don't know where I'm going
I only know where I have been
How is it everybody knows
And I'm still out here on my own?
Don't know where I'm going!
I only know where I have been!
How is it everybody knows
But I'm still out here on my own?

Hours Past

Hours past, can’t stop looking back
The dust on the window reminds me it's too late
Swept under the tide, time rushing by
Drowning beneath a sea of memories
Hours passed, stuck in the past
Can’t recreate the "good old days"
If I relived those moments again
Maybe then, I could put them away
Backwards, forwards
Forever
Backwards, forwards
A Precog's vision, blurred and blistered
Beautifully minted
That's a picture of us smiling,
That’s the last time I saw them
That’s an old forgotten home
That's the feeling as it comes and goes
Oh...ohh oh...
Oh, ohh…
Everything must go! On with the show!
I sit alone, a cinema of my own
The projector whirs and whirs and whirs
But I can't get to the booth, won't you
Take me, lead me through the lobby
Guide me on this journey slowly, surely
That’s another opportunity missed
Hiding from life, thinking of all of this
That’s an old forgotten home
That's the feeling as it comes and goes
So, please remind me
(Please remind me)
Show me the way back
(Please remind me)
Please remind me!
(Please remind me)
I just want to go back
To how things were
Oh...

Block the light
Shadow of hope
Dance ‘way the night
Try to get a taste of what it's like to scrape the skies
From far below
Know deep inside
A quarter isn’t worth it’s weight in
Time flies when you leave your life behind
(Woah oh-oh oh ohh)
Traded for something more streamlined
(Woah oh-oh oh ohh)
Sign yourself blind and get back in the line
(Woah oh-oh oh ohh)
Wonder when it starts to feel right
(Woah oh-oh oh ohh)
Unsustainable, unattainable, unrelatable, just inflatable!
(It’s right now! Don’t ask how!)
Unsustainable, unattainable, unrelatable, not debatable
(Can’t believe I’m...can’t believe I’m...can’t believe I’m…can't believe I'm...)
(It’s right now! Don’t ask how!)
Unsustainable, unattainable, dog and pony show, nowhere else to go!
(It’s right now! Don’t ask how!)
Fight or flight?
Just want to float
The safer side
For some strange reason feels like such a sacrifice
Minimal growth
Fall behind
Circle square one, like the hands of
Time flies when you leave your life behind
(Woah oh-oh oh ohh)
Traded for something more streamlined
(Woah oh-oh oh ohh)
Sign yourself blind and get back in the line!
(Woah oh-oh oh ohh)
Wonder when it starts to feel right
(Woah oh-oh oh ohh)
Worked so hard to get here
Just to wish that I were there
It takes a lifetime to succeed
And just one night to fall apart
It makes sense, but don't ask about it
'Cuz what is it worth?

King City

So it begins
So it begins
Check it!
An outsider outside the outskirts
I never woulda guessed I’d get burned
Minding my own business, doin’ bidness in the alleyway
A couple grams ‘all I need before I get away
That’s when the dope became a joke with a gun to my throat
Big Eddy pulled a contract out 'his coat
“Newcomer, I got somethin’ for ya, your new employah”
And with that began a life of paranoia
Nah!
Sign your name to the Devil’s favorite game
There’s nowhere to run!
You better play the game right when you bet your life
Late at night when the city lights come alive
I’ve spun this roulette
I’ve turned a profit
I’ve survived to see the other man dead
In this town it’s serve or get served
Only the worst are ever neither
Welcome to King City
Welcome to King City
Welcome to King City!
I’ll tell you what’s up:
Cops about, smacked around; it’s the battlegrounds
If I don’t get out, I’m goin’ down
The ‘scrapers pierce the sky;
Bars to my jail scaling high
I need to slip through the divide, but I’m
Stuck
Watching the tumbling, twirling, swirling
Green, baby, green is churning
Raining from the heavens
I’ll never hunger again
King City’s slowly burying me in the depths
Oh...
Oh well, boy
Money’s in the laundry and you’re fumbling
Maybe if you break these gold chains you’ll be
Free!
Ooh...
Where will you run?
Where will you run?
Where will you run?
Where will you run?
Welcome to the King City!
What - whatcha gonna do now?
Whatcha gonna do now?
No, no, no, no!
Ends With You
Woke up this morning with an aching head
So I rolled out of bed
Another day spent in the same old places
Familiar faces
I'm running out of things to try and do
To keep you off my mind
I need to tackle these things head on
Something I could never do…
Whenever it came to you
Here we are with the same old lies
As we wipe the tears from our eyes
I could have told you that this wouldn't work
Oh, but that's the price we pay
You should have said the same
But who's really to blame?
I need to tackle these things head on
Something I could never do…
Whenever it came from you
I need you now, please hear me out
I know that we don't see things eye to eye
I know I've asked, but time moves fast
Maybe we can work things out tonight
Show me a sign, show me a sign
You know that anything will do
You know that anything will do…
As long as it's coming from you
As long as it ends with you
As long as it ends with you
(Let it end, let it end, let it end)
As long as it ends with you!
(Let it end, let it end, let it end)
As long as it ends with you
(Let it end, let it end, let it end)
