Coming Alive 04:12
lyrics
I’ve been afraid of walking alone I’ve been afraid of doing everything wrong I’ve wandered down my share of dead end roads I just want to know, where can I go Its up with the morning It breaks like the dawn and Everything inside is coming alive Without a warning You open the door and Everything inside is coming alive I’ve seen a heart shaped discoball dream Shatter on the dancefloor and everyone leaves Tell me, where do you go when there’s nowhere to be You just want to know, where you can go

Hey Boy 03:46
lyrics
You've been taking on way too much Nothing's ever good enough You never seem to measure up Everything you do is judged You're always standing on your shoulder looking over Hey boy take it easy Hey boy take it easy on yourself You got nothing left to lose, co cmon You got nothing left to prove, so cmon Cmon take it easy on yourself You've been cutting yourself too deep With promises you couldn't keep You gotta mountain up on your back But you’re way too young to walk like that Cmon boy cut yourself some slack You don't know what you want You don't know what you need You forgot who you are You forgot how to believe

Polarized 03:44
lyrics
We started talking late last night We kept on talking for a long time I couldn’t say a single thing right The words that were said, could kill the tongue-tied Why do you always know just what to say To bring me down and take it all away Polarized, we subdivide we live our lives just to spite the other side These are just a few reasons we are at war These are just a few reasons we all ignore He’s left, you’re always right Polarized, You think he’s weak because he won’t decide We’re disconnected – we’ve been infected We’re building up defenses - protecting deadly interests Everybody knows someone just like him Everybody knows someone just like them Everybody’s just a little bit sensitive We’re not even listening, we’re waiting for our chance to speak I’m going walking for a little while I’m going walking, I’ll be outside I’m sick of talking, I’ll be alright I’m going walking for a little while

No One Else 03:27
lyrics
Baby if you’re lonely If you need a friend tonight You’ve been burning slowly Burning like the start burn in the night There were girls before But you are more Than al the girls combined Just look at my heart, Look at my heart Baby don’t cry Everything will be all-right The Look in your eyes Tells me you doubt my love tonight But I just want to say That I could never taste From Anyone else’s love No one else’s love Baby if you hold me If you keep me in your heart Then even when I am going We will never be apart There are lonely hearts in lover’s arms No matter how close that they get Their skin touches skin But they only give when they can get It’s a movement that I choose to make You are my open-hearted love campaign I’ll spend my life like I had just one day You mean more than any accolades

Perseus 03:13
lyrics
I want to live like a city on fire I want a voice like a crowded street I want to run without hesitation I want to run with my own two feet I want to stand under the streetlights Unafraid when the teargas breaks I want to move like a demonstration Unafraid and fully awake Oh, I want to riot Cuz I don’t want to burn out quiet Cmon let’s start a riot I want to go out fighting I want a soul like a kerosene cocktail I want a hope that won’t disappear I want a faith like electric wires Throwing sparks into the atmosphere I want to walk out to the horizon I want to stare into the setting sun I want a view like a constellation Oh, I want to feel dangerous I want to know more than information I want to do more than just work I want to be more than education I want to talk with more than just words

Collider 03:57
lyrics
Patience I'm not afraid to jump right in I'm not afraid to sink or swim I'm a collider Patience I ran out in front of you that's when I got stuck into (right through) I'm an outlier How did you know My face was in the stone How much was by design How did you carve Around my heart How could we not collide Collider Patience maybe I was wrong I thought that you would come I waited for you here Patience I shot from the hip when the bullets didn't hit I thought you'd disappeared
7.
Gun 04:13
lyrics
I don’t have much money And they’re telling me its only getting worse All of this fear and uncertainty As if money makes us all secure Trade a good nights sleep For plastic dreams When credit cards and greed are king Everyone I know Wants to own the world You can’t change the world with a gun You can’t change the world without love You can hold it back for a little while But soon the dam will break What are we all running from Why are we afraid (When all the bullets have run out How will we escape?) I never had much faith for institutions It never seemed like much of anything could grow The one thing that they are known for, Is people playing God craving control. There are darker things Than war machines; Hidden deep inside of me, Everyone I know Wants to rule the world

Umbrella 03:17
lyrics
Life can get you down Especially when things don't work out Life can be so cruel It gives you hope and makes you feel like a fool Time won't give you a break Won't let you back to fix your mistakes When you've worked since the day that you were born To find a way out of the storm You need an umbrella in the rain You need some sunshine in the shade You need some blue skies instead of grey You need an umbrella; You need an umbrella in the rain. Don't get down on yourself Everybody needs a little help Don't be afraid to ask Even a stranger has a helping hand If the Sky should fall today My love for you will still remain You could hide away I’ll be your umbrella; I’ll be your umbrella in the rain You need an umbrella in the rain You need some sunshine in the shade You need a friend who hasn’t changed You need an umbrella; You need an umbrella in the rain.

Something Good 03:38
lyrics
You had no intentions of talking about what all went on how everything went wrong You changed your direction You just walk around another block And hope the smoke clears off You take your time you're laying low trying to decide where you're gonna go (you need) Something Good To get back to something else besides the black and white something good to get back to yeah, you need a brand new life you built your defenses and told yourself you didn't need to change you could stay the same you swung for the fences but you weren't going anywhere just swinging at the air you want it all you're never satisfied paper airplane heart and you're flying blind If you're gonna turn around first Every time it don't work You should try to make sure If you're gonna go backwards

American Girl 03:23
lyrics
Outside the air is frozen There’s a bonfire Pushing smoke into the air Champagne In a paper cup Our best days Still are yet to come This is where the future starts Underneath December stars Fireworks are going off I’m holding you You are my American girl Bright like the moon You are my American girl I want you The ball drops In slow motion Time stops This is where the future starts Waiting for the clock to strike A dozen times on New Year’s night Throw my arms around you love Hoping for a kiss to come If you want me baby Just let me know If you love me baby Don’t lead me on
11.
Big Sky 03:39
lyrics
Tragedy always comes so suddenly Just like a thief it comes it comes to steal away There’s a bullet hole deep inside of every soul It’s so beautiful when you fill the space in between Tonight Underneath the moonlight Incandescent pale white We are still here, still here and still alive When a father dies, even with a long life You don’t wanna say goodbye To the one who brought you in When a child leaves A mother weeps Death is the thief And Blood brings him in Looking for a love, a love that has a face Something brand new without an aftertaste You’ll find no warmth in a skeleton’s embrace Here we are all in the same place Vengeance cares nothing for a mother’s prayer As a nation bleeds do we rage to make it stop
12.
One Thing 04:33
lyrics
Just like the night without her moon Or like July without a June Just like a rose without a bloom Falling in love without a swoon You’re the one thing You’re the one thing You’re the one thing That I can’t live without Just like a bride without a ring Or like a king without a queen A songbird without a song to sing Celebrities without a silver screen You cover over and still find room inside my heart You blanket the night sky like a canvas catching sparks You overwhelm me like a city skyline in the dark And I don’t want to look away form you
