Ghost Train
03:52

Ghost train take me away
to a land with no pain
They all stop and stare
to see a girl walk out in despair oh
They're so used to emotion being drained
that they expect everybody else to be the same
They don't understand
cause they forgot their past lives
And if I stay here too long I'll end up the same
I don't want to forget but remembering causes pain
I'll still hold on to what I have left
Otherwise all I'd remember was sadness
The hills here are frowning
The sky is too grey
The clouds are closer to the ground
It's starting to rub off on me
I know if I try hard enough I can make it leave
When you decide to take me back home
a part of me will be gone
I will never be the same
Until I ride the ghost train again.

I Deserve This

We're in so much pain but mine is in my brain
I'm sorry for taking life for granted
It breaks my heart to know that you have no control
but I'm doing this to myself
We both wanna go home but you're in your room alone
and I have others to help me through
Five floors apart but I've felt for you from the start
Do you even know I exist?
My mind is scattered
My thoughts are deranged
This is what is keeping me sane
Though I wanna leave I know it won't be good
I'm sorry that I can't do what I should
I don't know what I'd do if I were in your shoes
I wouldn't be able to take it
I owe a song to you for everything you've been through
I hope that you can forgive me
I don't know what to say for the ones who went away
but I'd give you my life any day
My mind is scattered
My thoughts are deranged
This is what is keeping me sane
Though I wanna leave I know it won't be good
I'm sorry that I can't do what I should
It's not what you deserve I'm sure that you've heard
My sympathy won't change it
But I'll do what I can
If my dream falls flat
I'll be right there with you

Kings and Queens
04:27
|

|
We all want to rule the world but
We can't even rule ourselves
We want control of everything
We don't know how we keep moving forward
We all try to save ourselves in the end
In the end
But you know it doesn't have to be this way
If we try to save one another
We can see the light of another day
If we stick together
Please try to stay around for me
Even if it's just for one more day
Before we part ways
We all think that we are kings and queens
But ruling's a lot harder than it seems
Our castle walls are starting to break down
Now we have to fight it face to face
Face to face
But you know it doesn't have to be this way
If we try to save one another
We can see the light of another day
If we stick together
Please try to stay around for me
Even if it's just for one more day
Before we part ways
I won't try to run away anymore
I know it is time to face the facts
Please try to stay around for me
I need more than just one day with you
I don't wanna part ways

Safe and Sound
02:42
|

|
City lights and country towns
The only thing keeping me around
A place that I can call my own
Where I'll be safe and sound
Do you find it easy?
Don't you ever want to leave?
A place where everything's peaceful
And no one ever sleeps
Rainy days and a cool breeze
The only things helping me sleep
A place where I can be alone
And have some time to think
Do you find it easy?
Don't you ever want to leave?
A place where everything's peaceful
And no one ever sleeps

There's something inside me
Don't let them find me
Don't let them find me
I wanna waste away
Please someone hide me
Please someone hide me
I don't wanna see the world fall apart
I tried to find a reason
Please don't remind me
Please don't remind me
But now I've lost myself
Please someone find me
Please someone find me
I need to find me
Please someone find me
Now I'm watching the world fall apart
Fall apart
Am I even inside me?
Please someone find me
Please someone find me

Control
02:59
|

High above the sea
That's where I, I wanna be
Home with the ones who know
Thats where I, I wanna go
And I know that I'm not alone
But the feeling it takes control
And I know that this is good for me
This is not who I wanna be
Stop
Please don't make me go
I promise
I will let you know
Stop
Please just let me go
I promise
I need you to know
And I know that I'm not alone
But the feeling it takes control
And I know that this is good for me
This is not who I wanna be
And I know that I'm not alone
But the feeling it takes control
And I know that this is good for me
This is not who I wanna be

Silence between the walls
Blood curdling screams throughout the halls
It's so cold in here
It's so warm out there
I don't know where I went wrong
I don't know where I belong
It's shaken me to the bone
Now I just wanna be left alone
They'll wipe aways your tears
They'll rationalise your fears
We're not what you think
We're just filled to the brink
I don't know where I went wrong
I don't know where I belong
It's shaken me to the bone
Now I just wanna be left alone
This is not where we belong
It's not our fault that things went wrong
Please don't believe what they say
We're all just trying to make it though the day
We've wasted so much time
Sabotaging our own lives
We'll try not to fall back
But there's something essential we lack

Sea?
03:11
|
|||
|
I'm so scared of a change in the tide
You say that you're a boat
But I can't get inside
Just keep swimming they all say
But will it really be ok?
Will I float?
I'll sure try
Am I ready
To say goodbye?
Waves will crash
Over me
I'll get dragged
Out to sea
Sharks are circling
I've been cut
There's something swarming
inside my gut
They'll keep trying
to take me away
I'll keep trying
to live another day
Will I float?
I'll sure try
Am I ready
To say goodbye?
Waves will crash
Over me
I'll get dragged
Out to sea

Homesick
03:19
|

|
We don't know where the sun has gone
It used to shine so brightly before
We don't know where our hearts have gone
They used to beat much stronger before
We used to be much stronger before
How could I call something so insignificant
As the place I live my true home?
Especially not here
Keep going then you'll find it
Tell my when you find it
I don't know where you have gone
You used to shine so brightly before
I don't know where I have gone
I used to be much stronger before
We used to be much stronger before
I think that I found my true home
But I have to run to get there
I don't think I can make it alone
Will you come with me?
Please come with me
I am homesick
I am homesick

Go around

If I went back in time
I'd see the world through grateful eyes
If I went forward in time
I wouldn't see anything at all
Rooftops seem so different when
You're looking at the ground
Water seems less peaceful when
You're about to drown
Three months maybe even more
That's how long she's been here for
I complain about being here a day
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm banging on the doors
Im crying on the floor
Make me take more
Don't make me go back
Why can't you just let me go?
Don't take me back
Please just let me go
I can't stay here
I can't stay here

Promise

A promise
I'm not ready to make
I'm tired
I just wanna let it take
I'm signing
Off the rights to my life
It's binding
But I don't think twice
I can't make the promise
I can't make the promise
I can't make the promise
I'm turning
Myself around
I'm slowly
Figuring it out
I'm feeling
These chords in my soul
It's healing
It's making me whole
But still
I can't make the promise
I can't make the promise
I can't make the promise
Hurting
Is a lesson we're all told
We're learning
It's ok to grow old
We're finding
Our reasons to stay
We're trying
It will all be ok
I have to make the promise
I have to make the promise
I have to make the promise
