Battle Cry 03:50
I'm frozen I'm panic stricken Can't look away I'm petrified I have not spoken in quite some time I've lost my voice I've become terrified This is my battle cry I cannot find peace I'm spinning out of control Feelings of fear and chaos They are unstoppable I've laid low Shut my ears and eyes Blocked out the chaos While others fight I have awoken No longer paralyzed My weapon chosen It's time to join the fight This is my battle cry.
2.
I need to warn you everything is not alright I've been struggling to stay near the surface I've been going too deep again, getting lost in the darkness But I keep pushing, pushing through but you should know that I'm not as nice as I seem My mind is a stranger I think I'm in danger Girl you are, girl you are Too pretty to be so blue How could you know what I want? I'm not someone like you Rip my heart out, rip my heart out You give me one but I need two Won't you smile? I want to destroy you You tried to warn me but I never really listen You tried to tell me this could be a sickness But I know better when bad thoughts are addictive I keep telling, telling you that you should watch out I'm not as nice as I seem You might be in danger I'm just a stranger I tried to warn you, you're in danger.
3.
Forensics of my heart show this crime scene has gone cold but this new evidence uncovered will tell your secrets. You are my chosen one, my perfect partner in crime. I had your back, you stabbed mine. Didn't see it coming. You never know you want it Until you have to beg You think that I'd forgotten But here we are again And nothing's changed, you haven't changed You're still the same Why aren't you dead yet? Corroborate your alibi. Witnesses testified that you were the guilty party, how do you plead now? I am the innocent but if thoughts could prove intent, and if I could get away with murder, you wouldn't last a day. Nothing's changed, you haven't changed You wiped the scene and walked away And did you think you'd ever get away with it? Causing suffering and pain Why aren't you dead yet?
4.
​​If you asked me to stay with you I would. I'd stay with you. But I need you to not give up so fast. I know you're hurting. You've lost interest in everything I know. There's no joy anymore. There's nothing that I could say to ease the pain that you're feeling. If you asked me to stay here I would Just please don't go away I know you're hurting When this world gets too much and you want to go There's no pleasure just pain Just know you're irreplaceable If you need me to talk you through this night I'll be here for you. When it all seems too hard for you to bear alone and you're hurting. You've lost faith in everyone, everything. There's no joy anymore. Too much change, all the same. What's it all for? I don't know how to unbreak you but.. If you need me I will be there.
5.
A look. A smile. A number. A life. A child. A mother. A world. A goal. A partner. An end. A cry. It's over You tore my heart in two Erasing me from you But I'm Not Innocent, I broke yours too I think it's something that we both just knew And we won't back down There's too much anger And we can't back down There's too much anger A look. A sigh. It's over. You're gone. No one knows where. I've asked around. You're floating in and out of my mind A fear. An end. A cry. I tore your heart in two Erasing me from you But you're not innocent in this mess too I think it's something that we both just knew There's no Innocence. We can't back down, we'll keep fighting on, we keep pushing through. It's something that we both knew. it's something that we both do. I've asked around.
6.
Little child you're not immune, it will infect you You'll want to kick and scream and right the wrongs The mess we've caused They will take one look at you and see right through you. They'll kill everything you could have loved, you could have loved I'll see you beyond the stars Because you don't belong in this world Things are broken And we can't love here anymore Try to be strong but not too strong, brave but not too brave Just promise me that when you see the gun you'd better run Choose the side you're fighting on early on because they'll call you a traitor. You're a traitor. You'll find it's just the way that things are.
7.
Last night I was trying to figure out some shit, but in my head all I heard was this whiny little bitch voice telling me that I'm no good, you should pack it in hun, negative words stuck in my head crushed my confidence some. No one asked you So why are you still here? I thought we were through so what do you want? I want something new but don't we all No one asked you Who the fuck are you So finally I'm content and nothing's going wrong, but for some reason you're still here talking bullshit all day long. You started coming down on me? You should shut your mouth, friend. And now you're fuelling my self hate. Well... no one asked you. You've shown your true colours to me, you've known you have this power over me. You've stayed here way too long. You can't hurt me no more. I dare you won't try to come at me now!
8.
We met down by the water So young in love, I know I was such a monster And now I'm here alone I look at my reflection But I feel no connection to me Next time I'll be stronger When they say "be yourself and you won't get hurt" It turns out that's not the truth Can you see yourself for all you're worth? No I'm not sure you do Next time we can do it your way I didn't mean to belittle all the things you said And when you cry are you thinking of me? I know I lied, I don't know why, it's just the way I am Sometimes we would get so insane I swear I won't tell a soul of the things we did Next time we can do it your way I promise you I'm back down at the water I thought you might come back But I couldn't wait much longer For you to arrive How have so many years gone by? Are you still that self-proclaimed shy guy? And I'm still the monster

Young girl, young boy Not saying anything but making too much noise Sweet young things confident and poised Got their attention but I think they're moving on You've got us talking Who would have thought that you take up so much damn space And who makes the most noise to keep them talking Too bad it's all just a waste We've been screaming out forever Doesn't anyone have anything left, anything to say? We've been waiting here can't wait no more for change Hollow words Idealistic self-assured Saying a lot of things but who are they to promise that All these people adding to the noise It's getting too much I better move on We've been screaming out forever Doesn't anyone have anything left anything to say We've been waiting here the noise ain't making change Sweet young things Pretty girls and boys Got my attention but you're making too much noise Sweet young thing Confident and poised Not saying anything but making too much noise I'd better move on

End of Life 04:37
There's no flashing lights No revelations No fire in the sky Did you fight? The sun and moon still shine No epic endings Was it all worthwhile? Our final day is ending and what have you done? Another heart is suffering and I've done nothing. What would you say if you were facing the last day of your life? And don't look away because it might be the last time I see you smile Would you pray? If you were facing the last day of your life And don't look away because it might be our final goodbye Your judgment day has come Your tribulations But how hard did you try? Did you fight? Because there's just starless nights No epic end to life Was it all worthwhile? Another heart is broken while another starts to beat. My end is your beginning and the circle is complete. The vows are all broken. The champagne is open. The world is exploding.
