We got everything you said you'd need to keep us where you wanna be Spilling blood on a blank white page, caressing all the thoughts we made I'll play the fool if you'll be my fate, cuz you're so cool But you can't relate to all of your dead heroes that didn't wanna fade away A ghost in a photograph/watching as the walls collapse All of those who should take control have faded out in the sun If nothing good can last, then we'll burn our innocence to ash Everyone is just dying to know, are you under the gun? Born in the bright lights of a crowded room A past life ready to resume You're all in a rush to a sinking stone, why won't you speak what you've been shown? I'll play the fool if you'll be my fate But you can't relate to all of your dead heroes that didn't wanna fade away A ghost in a photograph/watching as the walls collapse All of those who should take control have faded out in the sun If nothing good can last, then we'll burn our innocence to ash Everyone is just dying to know, are you under the gun? A ghost in a photograph/watching as the walls collapse All of those who should take control have faded out in the sun If nothing good can last, then we'll burn our innocence to ash Everyone is just killing to know, are you under the gun?

Out Of Time 04:12
Cut it off or take it in, leave the lights on for a signal Out of time for the ever-after/sending away for a curtain call So when the coast is finally clear and all our sins have washed ashore Will all your trust be wasted on those who never wanted more? Call me when you're coming around, if it's soon Falling with your feet on the ground, there's no room Crawling back to where you were found, are you through? Stalling at the sight of the sound, is it true? This place is not what we thought it was, keeping pace with a double standard So save your secrets with a grain of salt, just don't tell me, "this is progress" and when her body drops, we'll bury her in the floor Send all of your forget me nots to the parasites you adore Call me when you're coming around, if it's soon Falling with your feet on the ground, there's no room Crawling back to where you were found, are you through? Stalling at the sight of the sound, is it true? If it's just not sinking in (your best bet is right behind your face) Yeah, we want it all and more (a test pattern for the masses to erase) On a roll yet to begin (lying through your yellow crooked teeth) These wounds are growing sore Call me when you're coming around, if it's soon Falling with your feet on the ground, there's no room Crawling back to where you were found, are you through? Stalling at the sight of the sound, is it true?

Hotbox 02:46
Are you waiting to get up and go your own way? I'm sinking/spinning through the room and I can't wait I'm laughing it up, so tell me what I wanna hear But I just can't make the sound out, check it twice and make it clear I'm sold, this just ain't my scene I best be leaving I don't enjoy your company But I'll make believe it I don't know how I wound up in this place But the lights they look so bright now I'm feeling so displaced One more drink and I'm slipping At least I won't fall alone Cuz being in the state I'm in now The feeling is too close to call I'm sold, this just ain't my scene I best be leaving I don't enjoy your company But I'll make believe it

Take a look around this town and tell us if what you see is real Cuz everyone who's lost has found it's best to fall in line with all the people So pass the blame along again and find a way to scatter all the pieces Is it best to run and hide instead? Or pretend there's no words to match the reason Waiting for a face you know to expose the reasons you can't let it go and you, forgetting you can't sleep along and it shows all the things that you will never know So tell us now what you were really thinking, let the words escape past your tongue Cuz now your ship has left without a captain You're well off course, the shore becomes unknown Waiting for a face you know to expose the reasons you can't let it go and you, forgetting you can't sleep along and it shows all the things that you will never know So tell us now what you were really thinking, let the words escape past your tongue All the while it was obvious Falling apart in the requiem
