1. Blastoff

today he felt his heart break
he watched her twist the blade
since the laceration most sensations cease from his embrace
still he swallows hard for crying
his eyes they burn with guilt
while they search for words they crumble
like the castles th@ they built.

there's no difference between
the lies th@ you believe
and the things you say to me
i used to be somebody
but now he's gone away
gone further everyday
still he keeps his hopes alive
by looking back on things she said

these things i need from you

tomorrow starts the healing
to seperate the feelings from the lies
keep our distance
to keep these hopes alive
but i am not to blame
for this sickness is my shame
there are some things we can't leave behind
there are some things we can't change

chorus

these things i need from you


2. Ritter

my aim's improving
but my arrow's missed it's mark
& why won't ya listen?
to how i feel but where would i start?
cause i'm not the only one
who keeps things locked away
but you're the only ones who can recognize my face
in this my darkest hour
the minutes feel like days
but still i'm moving forward
@ the mercy of this pain
i won't break
when did i lose control of everything?

whether or not you walk the line
i'm still limitless in time
when i say
th@ i'm ok.

tear me away
save me today
& she says, "feelings aren't something we can change."
but is there anything th@ we can?

and i'm feeling so much different now
no more feeling sorry for myself
& as i turn the page on this
i take heed to consequence
in my defense
i'm losing everything
but i'm ok.

this charade
it used to please me
your colors change
the game is easy
& i say i don't wanna play

chorus

feelings aren't something we can change
but is there anything?


3. The Black Thorn

just face the chance you're wasted
& nothing can replace it
& nothing more can go wrong tonight
for you to be yourself
for me to feel the same
i'm sorry but there's just too many people in my way
for you to see me through
for you to hold onto
for me to hold onto you

there's better ways to let me know
will i ever be your love blood faithfully?
i'm not afraid to be alone
for me, if its where i need to be
as your love blood faithfully

go wrong tonight

chorus

in the shadow of your photo
i chase the pain with shots @ you cause its all i know
you try to change in me wh@'s wrong with you
wh@'s wrong with you?

but you & i we are not alone
when you feel loss of control
& now you know you're not the only one when you feel like letting go
but you & i we are not alone
in the shadow of your photo
