VERSE I I see the thoughts, yeah, deep inside Darkest of the depths, yeah, in your mind Watcha' gonna' do when they come for you? Men in dark suits, yeah you know who CHORUS Put the petal to the metal get ready to go 'Cause their comin' now to shake your soul The rhythm of your heart can't take control Voices hittin' you like a megaphone They turn it to eleven won't turn it down Theres fear in the mirror won't turn around They raise their first without a sound Paranoias here and back in town VERSE II Closet creature, locked inside Fact or fiction, I can't decide All these years, the fears you fed I realize now, I can't forget BRIDGE Its hard to fight what you can't see Hard to kill what's make believe All those monsters in your head Wait for you beneath your bed

VERSE I I've been running into walls again it seems Constantly reminded of where I'm supposed to be I can't help myself or comprehend Where I'm supposed to be in the end Miles fly by I catch my breath Will someone slow this down I'm scared to death That I am standing tall at 29 And time seems bent on flying by CHORUS Show me how its gonna' be right now Tell me how it's going to go and how We're getting out of here alive somehow We just gotta' wait 'till the sun goes down The tide is rising up without a sound Together we've become both lost and found Whatever comes our way we'll stand our ground Tell me just whats gonna' stop us now VERSE II I drive a little bit faster here these days What is down this highway name the price I'd pay I've searched for signs in neon lights In valleys low and mountains high Yellow lights are flashing right before my eyes And time seems bent on flying by Faster than the speed of 65 Mile per hour at which I drive BRIDGE We were always searching (searching for) A chance to become (something more) Than just another legend's (forgotten lore) We had never wanted to dream empty-hearted No we had never wanted to dream empty-hearted

VERSE I Found my old wrist watch, in my back closet Hard to explain but since I had lost it Time has been still not moving at all The sun has been setting while the nights are so long Friends in old photos where are they now I think its past time to figure it out Taking a chance not taking it back The future won't wait just because you have asked CHORUS Hello goodbye, it’s the speed of our lives Here for a moment, the blink of an eye And it's like we don't notice, or maybe we try To spend our time thinking, that maybe its fine Sand grains are falling, and it's not like they'll last Falling forever, in an hourglass And we stand here screaming, like those in our past Yeah it's alright, alright, yeah, alright, alright, yeah VERSE II Options run dry like a reservoir well Will they come back its too hard to tell Seems like I'm fading and I should dispel The time that I'm wasting and the fear that I'm facing Pack all your bags get out of this town There's no doubting now that what you have found is What you knew then and what you know now The streets aren't gold just because you are told BRIDGE You move out to Denver and maybe you don't know why Flew out at daybreak and, told all your friends goodbye And maybe it's crazy but, maybe it's quite alright 'Cause time waits for no one and the world keeps on turning by You wake up one morning and life has just passed you by A town full of neighbors has turned into passersby A river once surging, has withered and dried And I'm tired of living like my dreams have all but died

VERSE I When you sleep, what do you see Do you see faces, do you see me I see skies, in dark blue And out of thousands, baby I see you PRE-CHORUS Seems like things keep re-arranging But what I dream is never changing In my head I hear you saying Words inside a world that's fading CHORUS Lost inside the black and white Colors come alive tonight When its like I'm losing sight You whisper that its all alright Take me back to where I knew The dreams that came from me and you Take my hand and we'll walk through Ten-thousand darkened shades of blue VERSE II In the past, there was gray And the future, just the same Then the sky, turned dark blue My future changed, when I saw you PRE-CHORUS When all the lights on earth go dark And man has lost his beating heart We'll hold our hands to make a spark The fire binds, and never tears apart BRIDGE I've been through the black and white I've seen the dark, I've seen the light And somewhere deep inside the lines Is you and I And when it's time to say goodnight I'll close my eyes and think inside Despite the changes in the skies Love outlives, all space and time

VERSE I Bright screens light, the bar tonight I wonder if, we see each other or Are we, merely, simply, offline Taking a break, from our virtual lives Its hard to explain, or even maintain The thought that we, are disconnected Despite that, we are, two feet apart The distance has never, really felt so far CHORUS We're drowning in an ocean baby Don't try to tell me maybe We'll figure this one out 'Cause right now I've got my doubts Its like there's something missing From the human race existing And I'm not sure right now If we're going to make it out When we're so disconnected VERSE II Bright screens light, the world tonight I wonder if, we hear each other or Are we, merely, simply online Resuming the world of our virtual lives The world seems dim, all the time I wonder if, we'll get any better Is this the end, let's not pretend We live in a world where the hearts not dead BRIDGE Seems like no matter where I go, mankind lacks a little soul Starin' down the rabbit hole, I wonder how far down it goes Seems like its getting wider, while the darkness is getting brighter I'm screaming out to thousands, is anybody really out there?

VERSE Took a little time, I carved out for myself And took a little bottle, of whiskey off the shelf Shakin' from the comedown, falling from the ninth cloud Maybe it’s a fantasy 'Cause every time I step, outside I feel the pressure, emphasized CHORUS Looking at the stars tonight, I wonder if we might Put our differences aside And become one human kind 'Cause maybe if we take that chance In time we'll understand That by joining all our hands This might not be the end VERSE II Maybe we're alone, a rock unto ourselves Spinning in the dark, no way to call for help Flying through the deep space, sprinting in an arms race Does anybody ever win? 'Cause its like we've never tried Looking at the finish line BRIDGE Will we still stand in a thousand years Or will we start to fade and disappear Its not like the question will stop and fade away 'Cause sometimes I think we're on the edge Clinging with our fingers, to the ledge And maybe its time, to let go of the clay 'Cause if we do we might, live to see the light Of a hundred thousand suns, mankind will have just begun

VERSE I Walkin' home again at 2am Neon signs my horizon Skyscrapers start to wave goodbye As I look into the moonlight Buzz still flowin' through my veins My 9th floor room still looks the same Except my view of darkened streets The city has just gone to sleep CHORUS City sleep, I hear the sirens in the street And it's comforting, what once was strange is bittersweet and Through the night, I search for dreams that I might find Some peace of mind, as only a city like this can bring tonight VERSE II I lay down in bed at 10 past 3 And all the thoughts not unique to me Invite themselves into my mind And leave a shadow by the streetlights I close my eyes and fall to sleep, The city's arms surround me And makes me feel like I'm at home Like countless people here have known BRIDGE I gaze out my window at 10 past 9 The citys never felt so quite alive I'm ten thousand miles from all I've known And yet to me this place just feels like home
