The Way Down 04:12
Going... the way down I'm going... the way down Going... the way down I'm going... the way down When you follow and call my name I know someday you'll be back again And when you're feeling so down and low There's only so far that you can go... down Be my savior Like I've been for you Is she my savior? Oh... Going... the way down I'm going... the way down I feel so saddened to see you go It's for the best though and this I know But one fine day, you'll be back again And we'll pick up just where we have been, now Be my savior... like I've been for you Be my savior The whole way down

A Symbol 03:09
Wasn’t it so right? It seemed like it at the time The fate that had brought us here And showed us something more inside And I’ll wear it well… Nothing’s ever going to change this instance I feel like I just might make a difference I’m just looking for a symbol that I can stand for I’m just looking for a symbol that I can stand for One that I'll wear well I can wear bravery Just like some smile And prove now here to everyone That I’m capable of being worthwhile And I’ll show them someday… Nothing’s ever going to change this instance I feel like I just might make a difference I’m just looking for a symbol that I can stand for I’m just looking for a symbol that I can stand for I’m just looking for a symbol that I can stand for I’m just looking for a symbol that I can stand for And I’ll wear it well And I'll wear it well And I'll wear it well And I'll wear it well And I’ll wear it right on my back

Such potential To break into something new As if you didn’t know How it hurts me These little moments when I let you go I’m praying to something unknown Against all odds But now I’m ready To walk right through your barrier This barrier There’s such potential To walk through your barrier, oh my love… Because I’ve heard it can’t be done That our fates are set in stone But tonight or sometime soon I’m breaking through these walls to you... Another disguise But it won’t work this time No, not this time I’ve felt the lies now They’re all disguised behind your eyes Behind your precious eyes And they see through The thoughts I once had, the thoughts were mine Now it's all gone There's nothing left but a disguise That I despise Such potential To break through your barrier, right now… Because I’ve heard it can’t be done And that our fates are set in stone But tonight or sometime soon I’m breaking through these walls to you There’s such potential to break to you There's such potential to break to you No one thinks that I can break through this barrier (to you), my love… Because I’ve heard it can’t be done And that our fates are set in stone But tonight or sometime soon I’m breaking through these walls to you…

Eve 04:40
I think about you every day now As we grow further away And I can see the things that consume you As I’m kneeling down to pray And can you believe in the fate that’s upon us Shifting us 6 years apart In some other place, in some other time now I’d still feel you in my heart… Oh... My love… I can feel you I still feel you I can’t help if you were deceived By that snake of greed and lust I’m hurting too, I'm bleeding inside From the lack we have of trust… Oh... My love… I can feel you I still feel you And whatever as on your mind Was nothing I can’t help you find And whatever you'd thought to do I never doubted in you And what I’ve done Was from what I’d heard And now I’m bleeding for you But one things true No matter what I will always love you…you, you, now.... Oh, oh. My Love... I can feel you, I still feel you, my love I can feel you I still feel you...

Starting over again Fragile ego to mend Go ahead and defend Seven years come and gone Turned into someone That I just don't know I tried so hard To reconnect this bond But it wasn't right But was it ever? Weren't you someone I used to know? I'm sure that you were Weren't you someone I used to know? I'm sure that you were Think I liked you too much More than could be enough Was it ever the same? Speak in metaphors The signs can't be ignored Because that's just the way it goes Hide behind that fake smile And forget for a while That it's just insincere And just sometimes, we have to come to realize We're not on the same page But were we ever? Weren't you someone I used to know? I'm sure that you were Weren't you someone I used to know? I'm sure that you were I don't know who you are anymore I don't know who you are anymore I don't know who you are... Weren't you someone I used to know? I'm sure that you were Weren't you someone I used to know? I'm sure that you were

Over and over Going the distance And I’m trying so hard to find my place Easier said than done You don’t know where I’ve been But I’m going and I know it’s without you Without you And to my savior Don’t expect any Honor, in what I say If I don’t know the way I feel And I don’t regret a thing… ever Over and over, you don't know where I've been But I'm going and I know it's without you Without you... And to my savior Don’t expect any Honor, in what I say If I don’t know the way I feel And I don’t regret a thing… ever Have you gone and fallen From where I once thought I'd found you If I’d known how selfish you were I might not Have seen you fall from grace… Have you from grace? Have you fallen from grace? Have you fallen from grace? Have you fallen like you deserve…

Brittle 03:22
I’m lying back And I can see the look in your eyes from here And you know it makes me so frail, my dear And I’m hoping that you’re okay There’s something wrong And I can feel it in all the air I breathe I can see it in all that I have seen And I know that it’s so unknown All the times I tried to hold you near I was thinking of someone else, my dear And after all, I learned it all from you You’re the queen of the selfish The queen of fear So how’d it feel… You know, to let him slip right inside of you? Don’t you think about all the things you do? 'Cause you know that it’s not okay And was it fun? You know, pretending to feel something pure for me Then to strip me of all my dignity As if it was all okay, but no… All the times I tried to hold you near I was thinking of someone else, my dear After all, I learned it all from you You’re the queen of the selfish The queen of fear, oh...

Down And Low 04:43
Picture perfect memory It seems as though this is the only thing that matters Don’t you lie about where you’ve been When I can see you sinking deeper in the corner Down and low When you’re down and low When you turn your back and it’s gone When you’re down and low So what is it you’d want from me? When I don’t know just what it is I’m wanting So point me out where I should be And tell me something that is worth believing now… When I’m low When you're down and low When turn your back, then it’s gone When you’re down and low Cause when you're down and low When you're down and low When you turn your back, and it's (all) gone When you're down and low

You can give in to confidence If it makes you feel fine Just keep your angels all off my back I’m dealing with all of mine… Give in to all of your own pleasantries and Figure out what you lack Why would you want something That you would take if You would put it right back? I don’t know what’s for real no more Which one of us here can say? Is anything that’s between us real? Or is it only your way? I’m not sure if you’re here for good Or if you’re here out of spite Just because you’ve got wings to bare Doesn’t make it all right Give in to all of your own pleasantries and Figure out what you lack Why would you want something That you would take if You would put it right back Is any of this for real? What between us is real? Is any of this for real? What between us is real?
10.
Walking Away 02:43
It’s hard to take that next step, When it seems like quite a leap And it’s hard to hang the phone up, When you know it makes me complete And I'm walking away… and I’m not ever coming back And I'm walking away… and I’m not ever turning back And I'm walking away… and I’m not ever coming back And I'm walking away… and I’m not ever turning back It’s hard to map it out now, When you can’t even find a plan And it’s hard to think things straight now, When you know it’s bound to end And I'm walking away… and I’m not ever coming back And I'm walking away… and I’m not ever turning back And I'm walking away… and I’m not ever coming back And I'm walking away… and I’m not ever turning back It’s hard to find the words to say While I walk this line, but go astray (Walking away) It’s hard to find the words to say While I walk this line, but go astray (Walking away) I'm walking away now...
11.
I thought that I saw you in a dream Beside me And you confessed, but it just Didn't seem real, it just wasn't real Everybody knows, oh they know What it is that you're doing And it's wrong, it's so wrong But no one seems to care I had to let you go, let you go Let you go, let you go I had to let you go, let you go Let you go, let you go I had to let you go, let you go Let you go, let you go I had to let you go, let you go Let you go, let you go I knew you before, when I felt so unsure And we were close and the same That's just the way it goes Connections lost in the noise I'm not sure how it got so lost But it was never me, it was you Do you care? Do you even care that I had to let you go Let you go, let you go, let you go I had to let you go, let you go Let you go, let you go I had to let you go, let you go Let you go, let you go I had to let you go, let it go I let it go, I let it go...

Bound To 05:20
I’m sitting here with you now You’re looking so alone You never show me nothing Nothing that you’d condone What is it on your mind now? What is it I can do? Help me to understand now What it is about you… I’m sitting here with you now We’re drinking your coffee You tell me all your thoughts and You’re sharing all your dreams Your smile is lacking comfort And still it completes me And when you rise and walk off Your spirit stays with me… Now help me believe in you… Prove now, that it’s not true… Forgive me, it’s nothing new… Help me, help me, help me.... I know you’re hurting inside In turn it’s hurting me You left me standing alone To face your destiny I feel your arms around me I’m bound to all your pain And when you rose and walked off You left me in dismay… You simply walked away You left me in dismay You simply walked away You left me in dismay...
