1. IVORY Just so you know, I said I loved you and I lied Honesty is good for my demise Just so you know, I said I need to feel alive Still waiting to hear your reply Speak to me and tell me All the things I know you cannot hide Speak to me and tell me Honesty is good for my demise Speak to me and I am fine Just so you know, I said I loved you and I lied And you don't seem to be surprised Until you go, please let me be your alibi Punishment when there’s been no crime Speak to me and tell me All the things I know I cannot hide Speak for me, I'm failing All I need I cannot seem to find So speak to me and tell me Honesty is good for my demise Speak to me and I am You know the feeling we need doesn't exist, right? We've always said we won't fake anything, but I'm plastic, you're white lie. You know the feeling we need doesn’t exist, right? We've always said we wont fake anything, I'm static, you're faux light.

Not What You Want 03:44

2. NOT WHAT YOU WANT It’s not what you want, it’s only what you live for It’s not what you want, it’s the way you respond when it’s not It’s not what you want, it’s only what you care for And it’s not what you got, it’s what you take from me The more that you berate it, the more that you harm You keep staring at it, in a state of alarm It will never be different until you disarm It’s not what you want Don’t say you’ll do something about it Don’t say you will, I know you won’t Don’t say It’s worth it, I doubt it It never pays off for you because it’s not what you want Don’t say you’ll do something about it It’s only what you live for And It’s not what you got Don’t say it’s worth it, I doubt it It’s what you take for free From ashes to ashes, till dust turns to fuss I shouldn’t have asked you if you wouldn’t budge You need some more passion, you get it from me Do I have enough to make you believe? This shouldn’t depress you, it should get you moving So why aren’t you moving? We’ve already been to the final parade It’s not what you want.

In Trouble 05:04

3. IN TROUBLE All my life running scared I should have been more prepared All my dreams, they have passed I put them aside for something fast I’m in trouble--understand--heaven helps me with its helping hand It all fits together in a Masterplan, but am I worth it, I don’t know? All my life running scared Maybe the fear brought me here I swore I’d change, we’d figure it out It could’ve worked, but never found out how I’m in trouble--Understand--Heaven help us with your helping hands It all comes together in a Masterplan, but am I worth it, I don’t know? Yeah, I’m in trouble, I know that now If I have to go, then show me how We all need to hang on to each other We go this way cause we don’t know any other We all need to hang on to each other I’m doing the best I can Because we know it won’t last long if we depend on one another And all I want is to scream at the top of my lungs - If not we’re going under.

Cut the Rope 04:30

4. CUT THE ROPE Pleased to meet you- Oh yes, I'm a doll Can't you tell by the way I can fall? It's a tightrope, but who's on the wire? First it's your turn and I've started a fire I need to be the one in control. It's a circus, and you're the animal So pleased to meet you- We are not the same Who's the mad one? You’re no more than a criminal I’m not a criminal, but now I know what you are I want to cut the rope, to see just how far you’ll fall Now it's my turn, time to seal my fate Don't look down for there is no escape This is where I will spend most my life You're unhappy - look, you've got a knife? You want to be the one in control My collapse is unintentional Won't you save me - I need a great end I'm the mad one You’re no more than a criminal I’m not a criminal, but now I know what you are I wanna cut the rope, to see just how far you’ll fall I wanna know why you would nest without the egg I’ll never know why you would shoulder all the blame I’m not a good liar, but I’m good enough to say That you can trust me, before you make that big mistake I’m not a good liar, but I’m good enough to say That I love you, before you get away And you go wild, when you try to get your way I wanna know why you’re no more than a criminal I’m not a criminal, but now I know what you are Our price is too steep and the tight rope you walk on is way too long You hang from a string, but I could never cut you from what you want.

No Way 03:30
lyrics

5. NO WAY Chaos came from a fall, and now they say we can erase it all Listen, obey, because it’s good for you Celebrate your tiny flaw, You’re holding back waiting for curtain call You’ll get your soul back what’s it worth to you? You wanna stay, but there is no way I sold the questions to afford the answers, is that how it works? I need excuses to fail anyway I want to read it, but don’t want to see it, I don’t know where to look Decide its useless and throw it away Help is on the way No decision is the best decision Don’t need a reason, we’ll just keep it even I cannot stop You gotta thorn in your lion’s paw I thought your roar was just a mating call Choke down all the medicine like you’re supposed to do You wanna stay. I say no way. Where we’re from few come undone, we change the sheets before we die When we’re young salvation keeps us orderly in line Where we’re from all is love, the doors they stay unlocked all night When we’re young hold your tongue; to tell the truth could be a lie I cannot say that there is no way, but there is no way Hey. No way.

Beautiful World 04:09
lyrics

6. BEAUTIFUL WORLD Open your eyes and you’ll probably see the most beautiful world, But a beautiful world doesn’t matter to me Open your eyes and your mouth and you’ll speak the most beautiful things, But all the things that they bring never matter to me And I give my life to the reign Tell me how am I supposed to notice where the dangers flow if they’re always hidden from me Look in your eyes and you’ll probably see the most horrible things And all the horrible things will never satisfy me Tell me your lies, but I already know them because I just tell the same We’re all lying the same, going frame by frame And I give up my life from cradle to grave It shouldn’t be long now before we notice that in most ways they are the same I’m too cynical for the time I live in, I need to go to the future where I’ve already been Because I’ve seen my past, but I still crash right where it overlaps Who we pass along the path...well, I believe we all end up in the same pile of heavenly trash But, still I hold you close because I need the open road to lead me back to the days where you won’t go I’ve got a shot glass and an attitude You know I don’t mind if you don’t like my mood I’ve got enough time to wait, I’ll be showing it all today With a wink of an eye I shake my chest, I know you wanna see what’s under my dress You know it’s getting pretty late, but I’ll put a spell on you anyway And I give my life to the pain Tell me how am I supposed to notice where the dangers flow if they’re always hidden from me People around me need a beautiful world, but a beautiful world doesn’t matter to me.

Godslight 04:05

7. GODSLIGHT Where do we go? I’m on my knees, but how did I get here alone? You’ve got enough allegiance, so won’t you free mine? Where do we go? I’m ready- My god took my mind away. I gave allegiance, but not my soul But I might give it up tonight Is God’s light shining on me, or not? Is God’s light shining on me; I’ve seen his eyes closing mine Where did he go? Because, I might need to testify I can’t see him anywhere, but I will wait all my life Is God’s light shining on me, or not? I’m holding out for a sign that I’ll see to lead me towards the light Oh, now I must fear that you’ll disappear and the love I need might not be enough? Is God’s light shining on me, or not? This god sleight has gotten to me, but I’m way too close to give up Is this god’s light shining on me?

Hold Up 02:57
lyrics

8. HOLD UP If I hold up If I lean strong against the wind when the breeze blows me down upon my back and I fight upright again If I hold up If I smile wide when they offend If I go against the grain enough I know it will one day soon smoothen if i hold up And it’s more than just a problem, it’s more than just a whim I can see you never cared about me even though you say you did I’m not impressed by those with power, I’m not impressed by those who grin when I hold up When I hold up If I hold up Now, if I hold up I’m gonna let some light come in I’m gonna hold it by its throat and ask where it wants me to begin If I hold up when my fabric is wearing thin When I’m hanging by the thread I let tangle up in competence, if I hold up I’m gonna scratch and claw for solace I’m gonna let forgiveness in I’m gonna try to let it hold me I’m gonna try to let it win I don’t want to carry grudges, but I feel I’m forced to live under them until I hold up Until I hold up And I’m best when I’m a martyr, but there is no one following until I hold up If I hold up If I hold up.

Light On 02:06
lyrics

9. LIGHT ON Your life is shorter than they say it is, but what they say is true You may be older, but never wiser until you play it through You all enjoy the myth and hope it’s better than this, it’s all that’s given to you Bluff- you never call it enough, you live your life on the cuff, but those sleeves are coming loose Somebody leave me a light on I’ve got to know better Somebody better lead me to light Somebody leave me a light on I’m on the border- that’s the way it is when they are coming for you You’ve become bolder- how can somebody be lost when there is nothing to lose I’ve turned the corner- I’m coming back to claim what I’m too afraid to choose Life of inconsequence- and every chance that I missed, all my dreams I will renew Somebody leave me a light on I’ve got to know better Somebody better lead me to light Somebody leave me a light on.

Light Off 03:36
lyrics

10. LIGHT OFF So if it’s good for you to listen to then you should speak up The prophets told us to be patient, am I patient enough? I scoff and stutter to another, I want someone to trust I need affection or infection, either one is enough So if it’s good for you to pick and choose then choose to pick up The broken pieces you have left behind for me to clean up The prophets told us to be patient but my time’s almost up I can’t keep me waiting when I’m fading I might turn into dust So if it’s good enough to listen to then you should speak up? Have I done something to deserve this, does this come from above? The prophets told me to be patient, I’ve been patient enough I need some answers to my questions, but a hint is enough So if it’s right for you to lead me on I guess I was wrong It gets ahead of me so far I think I’ll never be strong So should I end this, how much longer is it until it’s too long It’s time to go, goodbye, good go, goodbye, I cannot go on.
