Civil War
02:56

|
Verse One:
I’m fighting a war in my mind,
I’m fighting a war all the time.
It’s not so easy, living each day.
But I’m fighting through what may,
Happen every time I close my eyes,
Try to see through any and all lies.
Chorus:
Cause in my own world I’m a queen,
But I’m fighting a civil war, oh.
My kingdom has cracks unseen,
It’s still held together by its bolts.
I've been fighting for so damn long,
I’ll be fighting a little more.
Verse Two:
I’m keeping my feet on the ground.
I’m keeping my head out of the clouds.
Sometimes I wanna fly away,
When I’m listening to what others say,
And even though it seeps into my head,
I try to think my own thoughts instead.
Chorus:
Cause in my own world I’m a queen,
But I’m fighting a civil war, oh.
My kingdom has cracks unseen,
It’s still held together by its bolts.
I've been fighting for so damn long,
I’ll be fighting a little more.
Bridge:
What’s happening in my head is all my own,
I won’t let my thoughts push me off my throne.
Cause I know what is me and I know what is not,
And I know how easily I can get caught,
In a body all my own in a mind so foreign.
Gotta fight myself back in,
Cause I know what this war is in my mind,
And I know what I’m fighting cause the demons are all mine.
Chorus:
Cause in my own world I’m a queen,
But I’m fighting a civil war, oh.
My kingdom has cracks unseen,
It’s still held together by its bolts.
I’ve been fighting for so damn long,
Whoa, I’ll be fighting a little more.
I’ve been fighting for so damn long,
I’ll be fighting a little more.

Let Them Change Me
03:30

Verse One:
I've got a spark of hope inside my chest,
Slowly turning to a flame.
It’s keeping me warm for now,
But will it burn my whole life down?
Chorus:
I’m fire and I’m ice,
Hope’s my virtue and my vice.
It’s like a drug I can’t stop hitting,
I can’t give up,
It’s easier dying than quitting.
So I’ll walk into the flames.
Yes I’ll walk into the flames,
And I’ll let them change me.
Verse Two:
I’ve taken my chances with gasoline,
This spark is now a flame.
Who I was has been consumed,
And I’m not going out not anytime soon.
Chorus:
I’m fire and I’m ice,
Hope’s my virtue and my vice.
It’s like a drug I can’t stop hitting,
I can’t give up,
It’s easier dying than quitting.
So I’ll walk into the flames.
Yes I’ll walk into the flames,
And I’ll let them change me.
Bridge:
No one else can tend this flame,
Only I can give it life.
And only it alone can give me life.
So I’ve got to stop these waves
Crashing through my mind,
From reaching my mind
And burning me out.
Chorus:
I’m fire and I’m ice,
Hope’s my virtue and my vice.
It’s like a drug I can’t stop hitting,
I can’t give up,
It’s easier dying than quitting.
So I’ll walk into the flames.
Yes I’ll walk into the flames.
So I’ll walk into the flames.
Let them change me.
Change me
I’ll let them change me.

To Make You Stay
04:29
|
|||
|
Verse one:
I can see it in your eyes,
You hate everything about your life.
I can feel it in your words,
That happiness will not occur.
And you can't stand your own reality.
Chorus:
You’re the reason that I’ll never settle,
But also the reason I think I might have to.
Cause you make me crave love,
But also make me think that it cannot last.
You’re the reason that everything is falling apart.
I’m not strong enough to be the glue.
I’m not good enough to make you stay.
Verse Two:
I can see it in your anger,
You don’t love me anymore.
I can feel it in your actions,
Everything I do is wrong.
You can't stand who I am,
When you're living in reality.
Chorus:
You’re the reason that I’ll never settle,
But also the reason I think I might have to.
Cause you make me crave love,
But also make me that think it cannot last.
You’re the reason that everything is falling apart.
I’m not strong enough to be the glue.
I’m not good enough to make you stay.
Bridge:
So go on and run away,
You've never been there so what’s the difference?
I needed you then, I still need you now;
But I’ll survive cause I don’t have a choice, now do I?
I know you don’t want to be around,
So why won't you leave?
Chorus:
You’re the reason I’ll never settle,
But also the reason I think I might have to.
Cause you make me crave love,
But also make me that think it cannot last.
You’re the reason that everything is falling apart.
I’m not strong enough to be the glue.
I’m not good enough to make you stay.
I’m not strong enough to be the glue.
I’m not good enough to make you stay.

Super 8
03:48
|
|||
|
Chorus:
Driving down the road and it’s getting late,
There’s a drug bust at the Super 8.
We’re growing up we just couldn’t wait,
But it’s morning now and we’re going down,
Going down.
It’s morning now and we’re going down.
Verse One:
All this time we were chasing dreams that were flying, flying away.
All this time we were chasing things that didn’t seem so, seem so misplaced.
But now reality is hitting us like a ton of bricks.
Oh now the sun is rising and melting our fantasy land.
Chorus:
Driving down the road and it’s getting late,
There’s a drug bust at the Super 8.
We’re growing up we just couldn’t wait,
But it’s morning now and we’re going down,
Going down.
It’s morning now and we’re going down.
Verse Two:
We used to be so full of life even on the rainiest days.
But now we’re not full of life we’re just full of blind rage.
We can’t escape the monsters under our beds because they’re in the mirror.
Oh now the sun is rising and burning us out.
Chorus:
Driving down the road and it’s getting late,
There’s a drug bust at the Super 8.
We’re growing up we just couldn’t wait,
But it’s morning now and we’re going down,
Going down.
It’s morning now and we’re going down.
Bridge:
Why couldn’t we see that we were fine?
Why were we so eager to grow up and lose ourselves and lose our minds?
Ooh ooh ooh.
Chorus:
Driving down the road and it’s getting late,
There’s a drug bust at the Super 8.
We’re growing up we just couldn’t wait,
But it’s morning now and we’re going down,
Going down.
It’s morning now and we’re going down.
Ooh
And now reality is hitting us.
