Verse 1:
You can stay the night, if you promise to leave before I wake,
Give it one more try, it's probably a big mistake but
Chorus:
I'm tired of you, crying all the time
I'm tired of you, and now you're on your own,
I'm tired of you, you think that I don't now,
I'm tired of you, how you never sleep alone
Allez (x15)
Verse 2:
You're a loaded gun, you shoot to kill and you'll kill almost anyone
Then you want me back, I'll bite the bullet and you'll be on track
Chorus
Bridge:
You walk in, I think you might cry again
Stare in my eyes and tell me a lie
Say without me that you could die
I think you should die
Chorus (x2)

Again

Verse 1:
As days turn nights I turn into myself
As years turn years I run into the wall, it's me again
Hi, how are you, I don't think I know your name
Ah yes you, Lizard who? King me yes I've played your game
Chorus:
Again (x9)
Verse 2:
As stares turn tears I start to feel all the wild climbing on me
As nights turn reality into sand I'm burning constantly
No one move til the Devil apologizes to me
Hold on while I get a backseat ride from destiny
Chorus
Bridge:
The doors closing, I'm going home
The lights off but nobody is gone
It seems you left dreams in my head
But you'll never do it again, oh again

Important Everything

Verse 1:
Take off your hat, take off your cape
Take off your high, make love to your slave
I won't run away
Break up the static, turn up the sound
Lets sail together don't let me down
I won't change my head
Chorus:
I'll do anything
I'll lose everything
I'll lose anything just to be something to you.
Verse 2:
Take off your hat, take off your cape
I started these games now there's no escape
I won't run away
It's not about us, it's not about love
Even not friends, I couldn't survive
I've been there and I'm not going back
Chorus

Verse 1:
I looked up and the sun stared back at me
A woman walked by to my surprise
Her beauty radiated and nothing else mattered to me
I couldn't believe my own eyes
How could this be happening once again
Thought I could be strong and stand tall
My empty soul I have so much to give
In fact I'd like to give it all
Chorus:
So long to freedom (I guess it wasn't mean to be)
So long to freedom (this half filled bottle's really killing me)
So long to freedom (it's time to be on my way)
So long so long (until another day)
Verse 2:
Now my life will never be the same
I've been burned down with her smile
Can love be fallen into on only a name
I'll tell you all in just a while (until then, hold on be strong now)
Chorus

Wake

Verse 1:
Time has followed me home
Attacked me in my sleep until my soul was gone
Then one day, I woke to a loud scream
To find my love for you was only a dream
A dream that I would never forget you
A promise I would never regret you
The way I see you around, knocks me to the ground to say
I once talked to you
Chorus
Walking the straight path, doing the right math,
Being the right one, singing the right song,
Acting the right way, knowing what to say,
I tell you how I feel I show you that I'm real
When you feel like you're happy, tell me what that means
Throw me an anchor, don't just stand there, I drown for you
It's all about you
Verse 2:
Surely you know that there was a time
When a man and his pride were just like reason and rhyme
Remember all the hours when I knew just what to say
And now I've got trouble speaking even when I pray, and you're not
Chorus
Bridge:
I'll wake, I'll break, until I wake in you
Derail then come and smile, until I wake in you
She walks away, a final say
Girl you will stay, until I wake in
Chorus

Verse 1:
A funny thing occurred to me while sitting in the hall
Often times your nursery rhymes are colored on the walls
Chorus:
Whoa, whoa chill
Whoa, whoa chill, relax let go
Whoa, whoa chill
Whoa, whoa chill, relax sparkle
Verse 2:
Your vault is bright, locked up tight in false security
Your everything is hiding now here's the combination key
Chorus
Bridge:
Somebody's watching, somebody's waiting
I don't know anybody who doesn't want you here
Somebody's watching, somebody's waiting
I don't know anybody who doesn't want you here
Chorus
