[verse 1]
There's that gleam in your eye, you're taunting me.
There's the little white lie that you think that I don't see.
There's the backwards glance you chance when I'm not watching.
We don't say much but I know you're trying to tell me something.
[verse 2]
Tell yourself, tell yourself, that everything will be okay.
And sell yourself, sell yourself, give all of our secrets away.
I'll tell myself, I'll tell myself, I'll tell myself that I don't need you.
But that's a lie and we both know that you need me too.
[chorus]
We're playing mind games, and no-one's winning,
And I know you're scared, but
We're wasting time that I could waste with you.
We keep to ourselves, and think for ourselves,
But I'm a mess, I'm growing restless.
We're wasting time that I could waste with you.
[interlude]
[verse 3]
You won't get out of the day dreams in my head.
Your voice is loud, it's echoing and driving me deaf.
I try to shake you from my mind but you won't let go.
I've found myself in a situation without control.
[chorus]
We're playing mind games, and no-one's winning,
And I know you're scared, but
We're wasting time that I could waste with you.
We keep to ourselves, and think for ourselves,
But I'm a mess, I'm growing restless.
We're wasting time that I could waste with you.

Save Me

[verse 1]
Scream as loud as you can as life passes you by, can you hear me?
Gasping for air as you stare out to the sky, can you feel the energy?
Stirring within as you see your friends forget all about you.
You dreamt of success, but all you ever get is an empty feeling fucking with your head.
[chorus]
I am jealous, I am obsessed.
I was the joker but now I'm just a fool,
And no-one's laughing. Who would have guessed
That I would turn into such a wreck?
Expectations so high, you could never deny
That they could never be met, and now the torch has been lit.
[verse 2]
I try my best to take back what I had, but it's slipping from my grasp.
Fear for my life that I'll never get it back, but there's no use trying.
The sun's shining down but I'm standing in the dark, where you can't see me.
I'm running away from my fears and broken dreams, to some place where they can't find me.
[bridge]
You could have risen up to frightful heights,
I missed my chance and now there's nothing left.
You were the light that shone out from the rest,
But now I'm fading, I'm slowly flickering out.
You could have been the colour to a dull, dark world,
Been the voice that broke the silence.
I could have them hanging off my every word,
But I am nothing. I am nothing.
[chorus 2]
I am jealous, I am obsessed.
I am hooked on the attention of my friends,
This is the curse with which I have been blessed,
Someone save me, save me from myself.
[chorus 3]
I am jealous, I am obsessed.
And I am tired, I'm tired of being this,
(Expectations so high, you could never deny)
I call for help but no-one answers.
(That they could never be met, and now the torch has been lit)
I'm in distress, I'm calling SOS

Runaway

[verse 1]
It's warm and only getting warmer
And the storm it only rages closer
Our withered eyes lay fixed on the horizon
The ash and dust are blocking out the rising sun
[verse 2]
It's loud and only getting louder
This place is in pieces, the sky's our only shelter
And the screams of sorrow could be heard for days
Cause the lives that we led have been washed away
[verse 3]
He's running away from the change cause he's scared and
The people they say that they want him to stay but
He's tumbling down, he's shattered his crown
He's lost what he had found
[chorus]
Cause it's buried beneath the ground
Of the lies he told everyone
About the darkness of his past
Which is haunting up his future
But he's a million miles from caring
He's just enjoying what he has
Before it ends, before it ends,
Before the end
[verse 4]
He's running fast but his heart beats faster,
He struggles through and swears that he'll remember,
Stripped to his shadow and his bare callused soul,
Left with the memories of all the places he can't go.
[verse 5]
Takes what he can get,
Forget the others he's not sharing,
And he's staring at the ocean waves
And realising this is where it ends-
[chorus]
Beneath the ground
Of the lies he told everyone
About the darkness of his past
Which is haunting up his future
But he's a million miles from caring
He's just enjoying what he has
Before it ends, before it ends,
Before the end
[solo]
[chorus]
Cause it's buried beneath the ground
Of the lies they told together
About the darkness of their pasts
Which is haunting up their futures
But they're a million miles from caring
They're just enjoying what they have
Before it ends, before it ends,
Before the end, before the end.
This is the end, this is the end
This is the end

I Won't Forget

[verse 1]
I can't go on this way
They say it's doing me no good
What am I supposed to say?
I can barely even breathe
[verse 2]
You pushed me to the limit
And then you drove me off the edge
You've left me wondering
Was this worth the effort?
[chorus 1]
I'm left with nothing but my regrets
Cause you stole the rest.
It's you to blame but I blame myself
I won't forget this
[bridge]
I used to worry but I've learnt not to care
About the empty apologies and evil glares
I'm f-f-f-f-full of thoughts that I just can't share
So where the hell do I go from here?
[chorus 2]
I'm left with nothing but my regrets
Cause you stole the rest.
It's you to blame but I blame myself
I won't forget this

[verse 1]
I've been shouting so loud
I've burned myself out
I'll pick myself up but I'm bound to fall down
And I'm tired of cheating
If there's nothing to risk
And there's no lie worth telling if I can't feel your lips
And I have one simple goal
To not feel alone
Oh I wish I was whole
But I'm empty now
Waiting to be found
So please show me how to become one with the ground
[Instrumental Chorus]
[verse 2]
I can't see inside you
You're tinted, you're fading away
I miss the days when
We would combine, set our bodies in flames
We'd lie head to head
Getting drunk off of each other's breath
I guess that's over now
Cause you've taken my heart and you've left
