are we holding back or holding on? where did we go wrong? it's not enough to sing along to cherished words in favorite songs how many suns will set as we wait? another night feeling strong where did we go wrong? take my hand and strike this match we can't just curse the dark we've got to admit when we are scared cause it shows feigning strength only makes us weaker as we go know it • hear it • feel it • see it say it • live it • breathe it if you got something real and it burns inside of you what are you going to do? every note every word as much yours as it is mine it matters more what we feel than how fiercely we share our minds as we turn passion into art we place anger on the altar and sacrifice our hearts I won't sacrifice my heart

when you give your all, miss your chance, lose your mind if you break your heart, cut your loss, waste your time as you fight yourself, slash your hopes, grieve your life clear your thoughts, get a grip...and keep your edge that spark you feel at the limit of what you see let it be a guide in times of need resolve from within there's only so much I can endure if you wait for a break for the kindness of fate life will be relentless along the way and if it's all I have then I start with that as I crawl my way back it's what I grasp when I have nothing left to give against my will life can have its fill but I'll keep my edge I hold my head above as I sink below everything I know I hold my head above as I sink below nothing will make me let go let the world bathe in pain for even when I lose all hope I'll still keep...I'll still keep... keep your edge

The Distance 01:46
what's it going to take? my excuses are all fake so much I could create if I don't go halfway I'm finally awake this pattern has to break I see what I forsake when I just go halfway I can convince myself of anything my thoughts race but I don't say a thing what a tangled web I weave when I'm the one that I deceive I can't deny that I need to amplify no limits no restraint no excuses no complaints I can't just let myself just take on this world halfway when less than one life remains nothing ventured and nothing gained I always come back around again almost enough no follow through excuse and soothe evade...the truth I barely try I deny what I need to do yet I justify no limits no restraint no excuses no complaints let the lies fade this world will won't stop and what could I be if you'd stand beside me no limits no restraint no excuses no complaints

sing with me tonight I will keep you close my voice is yours your soul alive let me carry you home I remember

Give It Away 01:44
we spent so much time before I realized it was too late you wouldn't reveal or share we'd been ensnared in the trap that sealed our fate if we had another shot would you take it and tell me how in life you'd been betrayed or still shield yourself from me with no reason to be afraid? where do we find the strength to love even if it won't be returned? or the clarity to have peace of mind no matter how much we've been burned? I know how much we'd shine when we're reflected in each other's eyes but how many layers deep would I have to dive? with no risk between us there's no reward so was it worth the cut and how we bled when you fell upon your sword? even when I am empty at the core I am full not for what I restrain but for what I give away we live a half-life just to keep our whole selves safe and hold secrets close while keeping everyone else at bay behind that barrier to your heart who do you love? and will you wait for life to pass you by as you protect it all inside?

this heartbreak is a bond and you are a gift through the tears we made our way through torrents of pain and finally we both showed up here after all the nights we just stared at the walls praying with wide open eyes for salvation it never came waiting for someone to call you can't pour from an empty cup so let's be full tonight waiting for grace is like asking for poison then being surprised when we die I've been on the brink I need you more than you know your eyes tell me who we've each been what we feel and where we need to go one debases the next but for some reason we didn't end up that way for what has been born in us through deceit could lead us to infect the same way look at me the way you long to be seen you said that you might not survive that you'd never find hope with another's assurance I hope you can find calm in mine let's set the past free and say these words together say them with me because I can see who we are... what you see what I am what I’ll be is broken no more broken what I’ll be is broken no more broken what we’ll be is broken no more
