We are the lost
Ones unspoken
We are the few who carry the broken

We are the lost
Ones unspoken
We are the few who carry the broken

We are the lost
Ones unspoken
We are the few who carry the broken

We are the lost
Ones unspoken
We are the few who carry the broken

We are one above the sun (x5)

. . .


You crowd around me on the floor
Staring and observe and seeing what I'm fighting for
It's not in you, not like this

I'm only seconds away from caving in
And I'm running out of time
Now I'm running away to free my mind
My mind

It's so like you, discretion is all you can be
Screaming to see what is in between
I've been to hell and back, the quiet never lasts
It's not like you to take a risk

I'm only seconds away from caving in
And I'm running out of time
Now I'm running away to free my mind
My mind
With only seconds to go
Cause well end this world
With only seconds to go, come drop the kill

Reject the world that is broken
Don't give in
The time slips through our fingers
It slips away
Reject the words that are spoken
Don't give in
The final hour will linger
Too little, too late
Reject the world that is broken
Don't give in
The time slips through our fingers
It slips away
Reject the words that are spoken
Don't give in
The final hour will linger
Too little, too fucking late!

It's too late
It's too late
The time we spent is free
Gone away
Gone away

I'm only seconds away from caving in
And I'm running out of time
Now I'm running away to free my mind
My mind
With only seconds to go
Cause well end this world
With only seconds to go, give up the kill

Reject the world that is broken
Don't give in
The time slips through our fingers
It slips away
Reject the words that are spoken
Don't give in
The final hour will linger
It slips away

It seems perfection is made up
You're lying to yourself and I want more
And I'm calling you out, I'm calling you out
Time won't be here that much easier
And I'm calling you out, I'm calling you out

A part of me says in some way I'm guilty
Higher, suspended and wired
Bury yourself, unworthy
Take it from me you're better off not knowing
The things you wish you could see
You won't know, you won't know

I'll show you just what it's like to be invincible
You know you're not invisible
Just static over the airwaves
You know I've blown your cover
This wouldn't last forever
I'll show you what it's like to be invincible'

It seems perfection is made up
You're lying to yourself and I want more
And I'm calling you out, I'm calling you out
Time won't be here that much easier
And I'm calling you out, I'm calling you out
You're broken'

So you'll see what matters most, what matters most
So you'll see you're just a ghost, you're just a ghost
Take it from me it doesn't get much easier
Take it from me you'll only get what you deserve
You'll never know

I'll show you just what it's like to be invincible
You know you're not invisible
Just static over the airwaves
You know I've blown your cover
This wouldn't last forever
I'll show you what it's like to be invincible

You'll see what matters most
You're just a ghost, you're just a ghost
You'll see what matters most
You're just a ghost, you're just a ghost

I'll show you just what it's like
Breathing, gasping for air
I'll show you what it's like to be breathing and dead
I'll show you just what it's like
Breathing, gasping for air
I'll show you what it's like

I'll show you just what it's like to be invincible
You know you're not invisible
Just static over the airwaves
You know I've blown your cover
This wouldn't last forever
I'll show you what it's like to be invincible

You'll see what matters most
You're just a ghost, you're just a ghost
You'll see what matters most
You're just a ghost, you're just a ghost

You finally got me
I am your heart attack
Hey beautiful deadly, I have seen you before
This crime is undone
Shh, be still and I'll keep you always
Trust me, you will not feel a thing
Defuse the thrill to kill
Refuse what you will
You fell in love with the chase
Let me give it to you straight
I'm onto you
Survive the way that you're made to
The conscience killer always gets away
The stage is set for the collapse
Let's face the truth and stop pretending
You kill to prove, you are one of us
But truth be told you are better than all of us
This crime is undone
Shh, be still and I'll keep you always
Trust me, you will not feel a thing
Defuse the thrill to kill
Refuse what you will
You fell in love with the chase
Let me give it to you straight
I'm onto you
Survive the way that you're made to
The conscience killer always gets away
Tied-up, barely conscious
Awaiting to see what's going down
Instead of fighting you said you're on your own
It's better that I go
I may be blinded
The change is proof we've grown
It follows me where I go
Instead I'm looking back to where we met
I found the chance to live again
Instead you'd rather see where we end
The conscience killer always gets away
Defuse the thrill to kill
Refuse what you will
You fell in love with the chase
Let me give it to you straight
I'm onto you
Survive the way that you're made to
The conscience killer always gets away
So I guess this is goodbye
I will meet you on the other side.

This is when your heart stops!
OH! Aren't you just dying to be here!
Lose yourself (x3)
Light this direction
March on the wicked one
Light this direction
I saw you for what you're not inside

Who do you think you are?
I won't be with you
Who do you think you are?
I won't destroy myself
Not for you

Found such a perfect way to lie
You said you found a better taste than God
Tell me what you see
Look at me!

You found a secret
You'd kill it just to keep it
Believed you and what you say
I never thought you'd find a way

You found a secret
You'd kill it just to keep it
Believed you and what you say
I never thought you'd find a way

OH! Aren't you just dying to be here!
Lose yourself (x3)
This is when your heart stops!
I caught myself at the scene of the crime

What could I have done to get this far?
Displaying lines unquestioned
I'm fighting just to do what is right
Enclosed and shaking
I can tell you're breaking
So break in
Tell me what you see!
Look at me!

You found a secret
You'd kill it just to keep it
Believed you and what you say
I never thought you'd find a way

You found a secret
You'd kill it just to keep it
Believed you and what you say
I never thought you'd find a way

I've seen the best in you (x2)

For what it's worth I'm consumed and confused by the truth
When the day is done
When the day is done

I'm playing this one close to my chest
I'll never let go
Say you'll never let go
Stealing a part of me and claim it was the best

I'm playing this one close to my chest
I'll never let go
Say you'll never let go
Get down on your knees and show me how you please

This is when your heart stops!
You found a secret
You'd kill it just to keep it
Believed you and what you say
I never thought you'd find a way

You found a secret
You'd kill it just to keep it
Believed you and what you say
I never thought you'd find a way

The moments get slow the further you go
I'll pull you close but never show I'd kill it just to keep it. (x5)

What is friendship
This is friendship
This is for my friends
This one's for my cali buds

California, waiting for ya

(We stand tall...)
I said it's time you believe in
(...all in all)
I said it's time you believe in me
We play such different roles
I caught onto you, caught onto you

I hope you're ready, I hope you're ready

I hope you're ready for the fall and what's to come
We smash ourselves, live fast and break it all for the ones
Stand by me, through all we see
I know we live fast and break it all
Break it all!

California, waiting for ya

(We stand tall...)
I feel free to fell a little uncertain
(...all in all)
I'll never know what tomorrow brings
I can only hope I'm as alive as tonight

I hope you're ready, I hope you're ready

I hope you're ready for the fall and what's to come
We smash ourselves, live fast and break it all for the ones
Stand by me, through all we see
I know we live fast and break it all

We clash and put ourselves back together
Clash and put ourselves back together

I'd fight for you, I'd kill for you,
I know, I know
We say, "I'd fight for you", "Oh God I'd kill for you",
We say, we say
"There's a part of me that's in you, part of me that's in you"
We say, we say
"I never thought that you'd be on your own, your own (your own)".

I hope you're ready for the fall and what's to come
We smash ourselves, live fast and break it all
Stand by me, through all we see
I know we live fast and break it all
Live fast and break it all
Live fast and break it all

I hope you're ready for the fall and what's to come
I know we live fast and break it all
Break it all!
California, waiting for ya

I'll show you places that you cannot go
That you cannot hold
It reminds me of being in my head
A few steps from being alone
Not to place the blame on you, bit this is what you do
Take a few steps back, and you'll see
I wanted you to be near
Let your body leave
Let your body turn itself inside out
Let your body leave
This reality isn't enough for me now
You're not the last one, but you're on top of me now
I'll never miss a thing when you believe
Turn your back away
We can be angels above the sun
A few steps from being alone
You sold your soul to be the one
Oh, god, what have we done?
Take a few steps back, and you'll see
I wanted you to be near
Let your body leave
Let your body turn itself inside out
Let your body leave
This reality isn't enough for me now
You're not the last one, but you're on top of me now
I'll never miss a thing when you believe
Don't you tell me about the times
Don't you tell me about the lies, oh all lies
Don't you tell me about the times
I admit to you, I was used like you
I'm a liar and you already knew it
Knew it would be like this
And you give and you give when I take
Take it and run
Let me be your mistake, and turn your back away
You're not the last one, but you're on top of me now
I'll never miss a thing
When you believe
Don't you tell me about the times
I've heard enough from you now
Don't you tell me about the lies, oh all the lies
I've heard enough from you now.

The world is not in your hands
Fuck the system
A systematic position
We've lost our minds
Oh, how we love it
Give it to me, give it all to me
Give it all you've got, give it all you've got girl
Give it to me, give it all to me
Keep up with me
Lay back and let go
Collision course on ignition
I've lost my decision to take me home
I'm just a little bit closer to find…
I'm just a little bit closer to find that all I wanted I had
I'm on a collision course on ignition
I've lost my decision
The world is not in your hands
Fuck the system
A systematic position
I'm blacked out, and spun out, and I love the way it…
I love the way it feels
I don't feel at all
Keep up with me
Lay back and let go
Collision course on ignition
I've lost my decision to take me home
I'm just a little bit closer to find…
I'm just a little bit closer to find that all I wanted I had
I'm on a collision course on ignition
I've lost my decision
This is for my brothers and sisters
This is for the misguided and alone
We are the chosen few ones who know you
Rise as one
We are the ignition
Stay true to let go
Open your eyes
You'll find a world ungrateful
Stay true to let go
Open your mind to a world unfaithful
Collision course on ignition
I've lost my decision to take me home
I'm just a little bit closer to find…
I'm just a little bit closer to find that all I wanted I had
I'm on a collision course on ignition
I've lost my decision
On ignition.

Smash it at all away.
Take it to your grave.
I'll keep your heart beating. (I'll keep your beating)

Set your clock to the right time,
So you'll know when I'm gone (when I'm gone).
Go easy.
I swear, I swear,
I swear I'm not quite myself.

You'll die just to stop them.
Never know what it feels to be side by side.
You'll die just to feel like you're in.

I see the look on all your faces,
And you are telling me to run, telling me to let go.
I never thought I'd see this side of you.
Feeling lost in it, like it was last June.
Last summer shouldn't be over.
Why can't it last forever?

Set your clock to the right time,
So you'll know when I'm gone (when I'm gone).
Go easy.
I swear, I swear,
I swear I'm not quite myself.

I'll live to live
Never know what it feels to be side by side
I'll live to feel alive

I see the look on all your faces,
And you are telling me to run, telling me to let go.
I never thought I'd see this side of you.
Feeling lost in it like it was last June.
Last summer shouldn't be over.
Why can't it last forever?

I see the look on your face
And you are telling me to run, telling me to let go.
Smash it at all away.
Take it to your grave.
I'll keep your heart beating (I'll keep your beating).

This is our last chance (this is our last chance. Right now.
I know, I'll keep your heart beating, I'll keep your heart beating

You'll die just to stop them.
Never know what it feels to be side by side.
I'll live to feel alive.

I see the look on all your faces,
And you are telling me lies, telling me to let go.
I never thought I'd see this side of you.
Feel it lasted like it was last year.
Last summer shouldn't be over.
Why can't it last forever?

I see the look on all your faces,
And you are telling me, telling me, telling me to let go.
I never thought I'd see this side of you.
Feeling lost in it like it was last June.
Last summer shouldn't be over.
Why can't it last forever?

Why can't it last forever?
Why can't it last forever?
Why can't it last forever?

What are you waiting for?
Salvation is my name
Take me for who I am
Sit back and bite your tongue
Shut the fuck up
I beat you once before,
And I'll beat you again

What of you has been the same?
You leave me drained and bound
Buried beneath until I rise above
Sing to me
You leave me drained and bound
For the last time

You turn me on
It's in the way you move
(In the way you move)

You turn me on
It's in the way you move
It's in the way you move

I am consumed by you
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
On the floor
We've done this over and over again
It's dark where I'm going
I'll wave as I descend

What of you has been the same?
You leave me drained and bound
Buried beneath until I rise above
Sing to me
Woah
You leave me drained and bound

What of you has been the same?
You leave me drained and bound
Buried beneath until I rise above
Sing to me
Woah
You leave me drained and bound
For the last time

Drowning on the floor
And I know that this time it feels alright
Drowning on the floor
And I know that this time it feels alright

Drowning on the floor (alright)
And I know this time it feels alright
Drowning on the floor (alright, alright)
And I know
And I know

What of you has been the same?
You leave me drained and bound
Buried beneath until I rise above
Sing to me
Woah
You leave me drained and bound

What of you has been the same?
You leave me drained and bound
Buried beneath until I rise above
Sing to me
Woah
You leave me drained and bound
For the last time

And I swear to you that one day I'll be gone
This time it feels alright
(Drowning on the floor, I'm drowning on the floor)
(I know!)
Oh I know it feels alright
(Drowning on the floor, I'm drowning on the floor)
It's in the way you move
Make me move
And I swear to you that one day I'll be gone
I'll be gone
And I swear to you that one day I'll be gone
I'll be gone
And I swear to you that one day I'll be gone

Identity is on fire
I'm afraid I am the one you know
Connect your soul with mine

My heart will explode
Or is this all in my head?
Wipe the sweat from my eyes
I'm killing myself from the inside out

I've seen this place before
Reach for the chemical
I can hear you screaming,
But I can't make out the words

The worst is yet to come
Send me an angel
Face to face with my worst enemy
(You never got me in this way)
(You never fucking got me in this way)
The worst is yet to come

Set aside the pain
Contradict your disillusion
I never thought it could get this far
Below the (surface) surface
Through the dead (below)
Will I ever reach it?

Wipe the sweat from my eyes
I'm killing myself from the inside out

I've seen that look before
Reach for the chemical
I can feel you breathing
And I need this just once more

(How did I end up this way?)
(Oh my god, how the fuck did I end up this way?)
The worst is yet to come
Send me an angel
Face to face with my worst enemy
The worst is yet to come

Set aside the pain
Contradict your disillusion
I never thought it could get this far
Below the (surface) surface
Through the dead (below)
Will I ever reach it?

You are my chemical (You are my chemical)
Send me an angel (Send me an angel)
You are my chemical (You are my chemical)
Send me an angel (Send me an angel)

You are my chemical
Send me an angel
You are my chemical
Send me an angel

Set aside the pain
Contradict your disillusion
I never thought it could get this far
Below the (surface) surface
Through the dead (below)
Will I ever reach it?

Wake up and say, “you're not alone, you're not afraid”
Wake up and say, “I'm not alone”
Wake up and say, “you're not alone, you're not afraid”
Wake up and say, “I'm not alone, I'm not afraid”

. . .


Like it was before our…
Time to be lifted to a place that I can't remember
Disconnect your mind
You won't remember
All attention to the countdown
Time slips through an hourglass
It seems to be such a perfect ending
Thank you for what you brought out of me
And I know that I'll be with you till the end
So long, the life we lead
I'll keep you close to me
Now it's time to be lifted to a place that I can't remember
Disconnect your mind
You won't remember
You're not a desire
You're what I need
I want you to levitate
Sing with rapture through the day for me
Thank you for what you brought out of me
And I know that I'll be with you till the end
So long, the life we lead
I'll keep you close to me
You brush the lines
You tell it in the eyes you've stolen
And you break, and you break
You cut a million times
Cu a little bit
Now you won't forget me
Cut a million times
Cut a little bit
You won't forget me now
Thank you for what you brought out of me
And I know that I'll be with you till the end
So long, the life we lead
I'll keep you close to me
You brush, you brush
You cut a million times before it's done
I never liked this side of you
And you break, and you break
You tell a million times before it's done
I never liked this side of you
And you break, and you break.

. . .


You find it all so hard to spill your guts in this crowd.
Just let it out.
We won't let you down and out.
It might not seem that clear to you.
Just hold on we'll get through.
Reach out to me.
Your identity can be what you want it to be.
It's been too long since we've seen the sun.
And we walk together with our black & blue on.
We will carry you.
We won't ever give up.
If we could pick up the pieces that were all left behind.
Memories realign the reason that the world is all mine.
And it all became so clear in time, so I'll take what is mine.
Reach out to me.
Your identity can be what you want it to be.
It's been too long since we've seen the sun.
And we walk together with our black & blue on.
We will carry you. We won't ever give up.

. . .


Could this be real?
Corrupted secrets inside
That will eat you all alive
They were all wrong
They're all alike
Infected degenerates
Like poison in my mind
We light the candles and turn out all the lights
Power to a clinical paradox
It's time to break out
Hello to LA nights
San Francisco will be shut down
We wait in silence
Speaking in whisper
They walk like giants that will swallow the ocean
Take your stand right here, right now
We will break you, we'll break you down
Because in the end your fate is what you make
Could this be real?
Corrupted secrets inside
That will eat you all alive
They were all wrong
They're all alike
Infected and corporate
Like machines, they're sent to die
We light the candles and turn out all the lights
Power to a clinical paradox
It's time to break out
New York is not so bright
San Francisco will be shut down
We wait in silence
Speaking in whisper
They walk like giants that will swallow the ocean
Take your stand right here, right now
We will break you, we'll break you down
Because in the end your fate is what you make
When I see a future that's afraid I close my eyes to thing of a better day
A chapter closed
The story goes on and on to turn the page
A story on and on to turn the page
We wait in silence
Speaking in whisper
They walk like giants that will swallow the ocean
Take your stand right here, right now
We will break you, we'll break you down
Because in the end your fate is what you make
When I see a future that's afraid I close my eyes to think of a better day
A chapter closed
The story goes on and on to turn the page
A story on and on to turn the page.
