Morningstar666 I have to say that after listening to this entire album, several times, driving last night, I absolutely LOVE this band and their music. Definitely worth purchasing and listening. Will be buying the other albums as well as anything in the future. Singer isn't hard to look at either.

When you wake up in the morning And you open your eyes wide Do you feel like driving far away And leaving me behind? Taking time to rearrange And organize your mind Life is like a ticking clock! And we’re running out of time! “Cause you know we’re burning bright! Up until the morning light! And you know we’ll be just fine When we’re dancing at midnight Let’s just love and live our lives And you know we’ll feel alright!” You feel like you’re not yourself You’re dead on the inside These things they won’t fix themselves First you gotta try… And can you pay the hospital bill!? If you attempt suicide!? "This life is rather beautiful! Just OPEN UP YOUR MIND!" You say everything’s okay! But I know that it’s a lie! The clouds haven’t rained harder! In the skyline of your mind! But like the sky clouds fade away! And there will be beautiful sunshine! Then we can laugh and sing all day! Yeah! LET’S JUST UNWIND! We’ll feel alright! WE’RE BURNING BRIGHT!!!!

Time-Bomb 03:17
I’ll say what you want me to say Just don’t cry, I need your eyes clear I’ll be what you need me to be Just don’t leave, don’t leave me behind! But you threw it all away! For some boy with a better name! He won’t understand what I did! You threw away the best you could get! You couldn’t tell! The difference with the lights off! You’re tick, tick, tickin’ like a time-bomb! In love! But you don’t know what love is! Is this, this, this Really what you wanted? Now you cry nearly every night You can’t sleep because your thoughts are too loud! You’ll see what you needed to see And you’ll end up coming back to me! And I’ll say you made it this way! You turned our two years into wasted days! Believe me I never wanted this! I’d give my life away for just one last kiss! Really what you wanted? Is this, this, this really what you wanted? I couldn't tell! The difference with the lights off! I'm tick, tick, tickin like a Time-Bomb! Out of love, but I don't know What! Love! is? Is this, this, this really what we wanted?

Cheers! 02:24
She, pushed, me against the wall but, I felt sick You know, I, can’t really forget the lines Sean said, “You can let your love flow here!” I don’t know why he brought me here: In a dirty bathroom with no lights I yelled “is everyone here?” then someone threw a chair Against, against, against against the wall! Then, Tom drank all of the beer He’s gotta move, gotta drink, gotta dance yeah! But, now, everyone is pissed… And you’ve made an impression on me I made an impression on you But we don’t mind Cause you left a bruise on me I left a bruise on you But we feel fine You use an analogue clock, but you always talk! Like it’s military time My teacher never liked my tight pants said Pangaea was a continent And how it used to be combined But later, we all drank some jäger bombs And we all had a good night Then you comment that I’m shit We shoot, we miss, we ball our fists and then we have A great goddamn time! Cause we’ve made an impression on them They’ve made an impression on we ...I don’t think that English is right. And I’ll never forget this night When things all felt alright Let’s take one more shot!

Wonder Years 03:27
Said the way I do things wasn't good enough When I drink you said I act too drunk Wag of the finger, please talk down to me We're breeding animosity… Am I the way you want me? Whoa-oh! Is this all I should be? Oh no! Is this the way you want me? You got in my head, Found all my hope's and fears And I started to trash! Everything that I once held dear so I'll move away, I'll grow a beard I'll pick a more stable career I swear I won't shed a single tear! I'll throw away my wonder years… I’ll stop making music! If it’s what you really want Or kill my self respect, Start writin sing-a-along’s! Anything to please your ears, my love But how much of me will be enough!? I'm not the way you want me.. whoa I'm just all I can be… oh-oh That should be all you need… Yeah, that should be all you need….

My heart it used to beat, at the slightest sight Of your lovely eyes, they shone green and bright But I made a mistake, I wanted him for life I’m a goddamn fool, I gave it up last night Now these days they taste like poison! I can still hear his voice in The back of my mind, says “That’s not the you I know!” Well you’re right when you’re right That wasn’t me I swear I was working things out Now they can’t be repaired! Oh, how I will lie awake Listen to me, sweet lover I lost Miss your lips, how they would taste Know I can’t breath, you’re an angel to me I spent these weeks in my head Living inside your bed Wishing you would call Me, to come back Home, it’s inside my arms They’ll keep you safe from harm All I need is to hear you say to Me, “This all worked out wrong I know where I belong I love you more than The moon loves the sky.” Do you talk about me when I'm not around? Do you still love me? Or is it snuffed out? Is your heart like mine? Still making this sound? When you see my lips moving? Do they make a sound? Am I on your mind? God I hope that I am Maybe I can get back to you before someone else can I’ll remember you fondly as the love that I drowned There's nothing left of me that's not been hollowed out... Oh, how I will lie awake Listen to me, sweet lover I lost Miss your lips, how they would taste No, I can’t breath. You’re an angel, Toby Oh, how my heart begs and aches Come back to me, sweet lover I lost I miss your fingers, your sweet face You'll always be, an angel to me...

We spent the whole night naked Playing ‘I’ve Never’ on a cheap motel room couch And the game soon turned to arguing As my stomach turned inside out And I spent the next morning in Chicago traffic Puking in an empty cheeto bag And I’m honestly surprised You still found me attractive after that Still found me attractive after that... Please God, help me, I don’t know what I’m doing! Heaven knows I’m giving all that I can! I’ll talk myself up, cut my heart out! Is this really what love’s all about? When I’m barfing black… WHEN I’M BARFING BLACK! You don’t like it when I say your last name I think it’s because you hate your dad Your favourite artist is Francis Bacon But all his paintings make me sad And my political views make him angry He thinks all my music is crap And he don’t like repetition, no he don’t like repetition! NO HE DON’T LIKE REPETITION! Oh, my bad. Cause god forbid, I have an opinion! Heavens no, I’m having a good time! Gotta talk me down, gotta sell me out! Is there nothing else to talk about? When I’m barfing black… When I’m barfing black… WHEN I’M BARFING BLACK
7.
Oh! Say hello, to this Future Alone! Where we both swallowed sleep and Made love through our phones Cause I still remember fondly Days spent in your room… Was it something worth recalling? Cause no one ever will come close! To the way you stab me in the throat! Cause somethin, Tells me you won't come around! To hold me under till I drown But I can spot you in a crowd And love you in my sleep! Cause the distance is awfully convenient My love, Does it substitute trying too hard…? Can we break this cycle? Figure it out!? This back and forth for four years now! Are you at my throat or in the cheering crowd? Oh God, I wanna scream! Nothing ever will come close! To the way you let me decompose Cause somethin, Tells me we won't kiss again You refer to me as a "dear friend" We both became part of the trend Of throwing it all away!

Blush 02:38
You kill yourself with thinking on the ride home Would rather be in your room alone Left me to walk on the railways Well you know I’ll be waiting for the train By this time I realise I blew it Messed up big time and I knew it Got bruises all over my chest now I took my words and I spit them out! And I regret what I did that day, I broke your heart and scared you away! In time I’ll fix my mistakes Just please don’t, no never, don't ever turn away! Don’t turn away! We both need some space to grow Drown out the screaming in your head We both are blacking out in bathrooms What lead to this, no one knows! I just want you to be safe! Have a place to sleep where you’ll be O.K. I’ll take these memories and take them to the grave! Why must things be this way? The faded lights, the hurtful names You cry when you’re on your own, it never ends! We know how it feels to be alone again! We may have broke down But we didn’t give up, Left town for Chicago and you didn’t come back Now I’m stuck here waiting for a guiding light I just want to hear your voice again Because this cold silence is making me sick Left paralyzed from your poison kiss Dreaming of a day of happiness I don’t have a reason to get dressed I’m sure you’ve moved on in a rush Found a new guy to make you… BLUSH!
9.
We went back and forth Exchanging empty words and compliments Over cheap drinks in your apartment We both know this is meaningless, Nothing permanent, fleeting at best One more night of fake affection… And I’ll wait it out! All by myself! And I’ll scream and shout! Till my breath escapes my lungs! So obsessed with obsession You ask my name, there will be no answer No one asks that, question anymore You’ll leave me here to wonder If there’s a single heart worn on a sleeve That wishes they could meet… Someone real! No more motives or false smiles Someone who could stick around a while Not leave before the sun begins to shine… All I want from this is to mean something to someone real Instead of feeling worthless … Don’t throw me away! I’ll wait it out All by myself And I’ll weigh the pro’s and con’s Until I find a reason to live! And I’ll scream and shout! Till my breath escapes my lungs! All these words stuck in my mouth! Are destroying all I have left! Throw it all away! [OUTRO] We feel we’re at the edge What do broken hearts say? What can we deduct? There's hell in those stars What I want from this, is not what you’ve ever wanted A sad, hopelessness in knowing That I’ll say your name And you won't answer With anything but one word, forever echoing in THE end…. On and on until eternity beckons “Goodbye”

We were laughing in your basement On those afternoons in July I know I had to make the first move You were far too shy But I didn’t want to chase you away Chase you away, you away The Summer warmed the sidewalk As it burned our bare feet Running so quickly back to your house It was just across the street I miss the simple things… that made us smile Our childhood dreams, please stay for a while I miss how you used to sing, so beautiful it made me cry How your blue eyes used to sparkle as they flooded into mine… Do you remember anything? Who you were, what you used to be? Do you even remember me? Because I cannot forget How time kills us all equally Sometimes I cry, when your image fills my eyes Because I’m dead to you, you’re dead to me And it will never be how it used to be! We’d listen to the songs We found at Ryan’s house Oh, how we loved each other Some emotions yelled, others whispered not too loud I guess we were just confused or afraid… Confused or afraid, or afraid… Then came all the parties Around the time of Freshman year We all found drugs and sex Who you were soon disappeared Then you left us all, behind...all behind… I miss the simple things, the party scene How the instruments made our ears ring I miss the honesty, no secrets to keep When we dove into the water, it was never too deep! I’ll lock up these memories! And do my best to hide the key! Behind these smiling teeth! This smile is real! You can trust me! I miss the simple things, the curiosity We talked about our future, like they’d never be reality And as these moments fade, becoming just memories These smiles and scars, will soon be ancient history...

In A Coma 03:31
In the back of your mom’s sedan, in the back of this ambulance We’re still breathing now… Even though it’s slowing down… There was an accident on the road where we first met And you’re passing out… I start to shout… In a coma you can’t hear anyone else Even though they’re trying to talk to you It’s just an endless scene of nothingness… I’m not leaving till you wake up I know it’s been three whole days now but, I’m still hoping that my voice gets through Oh God, please just let it get through… Wake up! Wake up! (You're still sleeping!) On a dark midsummer day, they let you fade away Stopped that beeping sound… As your chest fell down… There was a gathering, near a grave where angels sang I heard a noise, It was my own voice… (Repeating over and over again!) In casket you can’t hear anyone else Even though they’re trying to talk to you It’s just an endless scene of nothingness… I’m not leaving till you wake up… I know it’s been three years now but, I’m still hoping that my voice gets through Oh God, please just let it get through… Wake up, wake up! [OUTRO] Please tell me you can hear me I am singing to you every night Open your eyes Look into mine Tell me everything's alright Please tell me you can hear me, I am speaking Is it coming through? Inside your head, I know you hear me I hope that you feel no pain I was begging, now I'm pleading For you to please hear my voice I have to be numb to feeling Or pretty soon I'll have no choice
13.
My friends all say "Don't live in the past, man All it will do is tear you apart" I hope it's not a sign of regression That I'm keeping you inside of my heart I just kind of want to continue To think that you're still waiting for me And I know that it's not likely But it's just what I have to believe And I was just the cause of your burden But you just made me feel free And all you wanted was a vacation While you were all I needed to see And I still fight the will to continue! While you're sleeping peacefully! I hope you know that I still love you! Even though you are forgetting me! Yeah, yeah, yeah! I don't sleep at all! Yeah, yeah, yeah… These nights are awful Yeah, yeah, yeah! I guess it's my fault! Yeah, yeah, yeah... We breathe unnatural… How can I move forward When you left me with those words? "Maybe we can try again in the future When things aren't so absurd" And I will try to decipher! What exactly it is that you mean! Something here was lost in translation And now I'm always slurring my speech So I guess that I will continue To reconstruct and tear you apart! Until it turns to something less painful Than the moment that I watched you depart! No I’m not... Getting by so well Yeah, yeah, yeah… It still hurts like hell… Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I know that it’s my fault! Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!! And it's fucking awful! Do you know!? You still have my soul!? Now my lungs! Aren't working at all!
14.
You ruined my whole summer Maybe my whole life I don't know where to go from here Just what do I decide? I could go off to college Or just blow my brains out Maybe I will move away To a place I can't pronounce What is the point when Your best is what you gave and It wasn't enough then! It isn't enough now! Tell me in a few years Just what you find out Will they be the same Or turned to a stranger? Nothing you do or say seems to phase her! Cause there’s a knot inside my stomach And there’s pain between my breaths And I never knew how to follow up, Cause I don’t know all the rest! And there’s anger in my throat now It filled the hole left in my chest And I hope that you are happy now, Cause you were all that I had left! You were all that I had left! Yeah, you were all that I had left! You're all that I... Think about… But I won't dare say it out loud When do you Think of me? Do you even, really? Cause you still call me when you’re drunk… And something tells me we’re not done... Cause we, Love or hate each other One or the other Once lovers part ways There’s still some colour I’ll give you space, I’ll try not to hover I see in the distance We can recover Oh, I cannot say anything That I have not already sang You're beautiful beyond compare I love you still, I need you here Oh, it's been fun I lost the fight Go on ahead, I know you're right I'm leaving soon, goodbye despair I hope one day I'll see you there…
