[Verse 1]
The world has turned itself on it’s head
The trees don’t grow they kill instead
Where hope once was the light’s turned black
We find find faith in the strangest places
[Pre-Chorus]
The marchers walk the streets in reverse with their heads down
Blind to the color they’ve painted this town
They stare at mirrors, wearing masks
And prudently perform their task
[Chorus]
They march along in single file
Surrendering their sense of style
Happily police the streets
With vacant eyes and plastic smiles
[Verse 2]
How can you watch our castles crumble down?
(Stand in the ashes of your city that burned to the ground)
I’m wonderin' where I heard this
“You said you'd give me purpose”
[Pre-Chorus]
The marchers walk the streets in reverse with their heads down
Blind to the color they’ve painted this town
They stare at mirrors, wearing masks
And prudently perform their task
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
They march along in single file
Surrendering their sense of style
Happily police the streets
With vacant eyes and plastic smiles
March along in single file
Surrendering their sense of style
Happily police the streets
With vacant eyes and plastic smiles
[Bridge]
The uniform will set you free
Close your eyes and you will see
They’ll soon do to you what they’ve done to me
[Chorus]
They march along in single file
Surrendering their sense of style
(To me)
Happily police the streets
With vacant eyes and plastic smiles
(To me)
March along in single file
Surrendering their sense of style
(Me)
Happily police the streets
With vacant eyes and plastic smiles

City Of Ashes

[Intro]
Kerosene lit lanterns burn through faded pages
Not a single star graces our sky tonight
The crickets have grown bored of filling our silent spaces
We’re losing time and got to make this right
[Verse 1]
I sing this song to incinerate your skin
Just sing along and... (dance)
Build for us from their ashes
A brand new city
Set fire to your matches
Dowse them in gasoline
[Pre-Chorus]
Rebuilding skyscrapers from broken glass and broken souls
Ain't got no blueprint just a purpose and a wrecking ball
[Chorus]
Brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view
[Verse 2]
Let the sun just incinerate your skin
To start all over
Rebuild what they destroyed (Destroyed!)
Make weapons of your voice (Your voice!)
Whatever they employ, I’ll exploit, make null and void
[Pre-Chorus]
Rebuilding skyscrapers from broken glass and broken souls
Ain't got no blueprint just a purpose and a wrecking ball
[Chorus]
Brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view
Oh, brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view
[Bridge]
I set all of these fires
But now I’m the one who’s all burnt out
Why is it so hard to fight for what's right
I’m breaking down
And what if I stepped out of this ring
I abandoned everything
I can’t carry this team
Marching along in single file
(This team, this team!)
Surrendering their lives
(This team)
[Chorus 2]
Pitch black clouds shadow the burning sun
But I won’t let these vultures think that they have won
I’ll be the last one standing when the end’s begun
I’ll hide away so I don’t have to run
[Chorus]
Brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view
Oh, brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view

[Intro: Jhariah and Luis Chavez]
I’ve found my home
Inside these walls the world is my own
I write the rules alone in here
I sit atop a throne
[Verse 1]
I’m safe and sound
Despite the battlefield that surrounds
I breathe inside a vacuum here
Hiding beneath the ground
I have piece of mind
I know they’ll never take me alive
You can take all you want but my
Mind will always be mine
[Verse 2]
All my thoughts inhabit these floors
They sing out louder than this war
Their notes whisper no more
They howl and roar
Violently piercing the sky
Breaking out of their cage
Oh, can you hear them now they’re screaming at me
[Pre-Chorus]
Lock me up
Throw out the key
I’ve found my home
[Chorus]
I can’t give up what my mind creates
I won’t be captive won’t be dead
I’ll trap myself instead
These four walls extend beyond my sight
And breathe new life into me
[Verse 3]
Dimly lit, the room emits a hollow, muffled sound
It houses a single sorry soul
No other to be found
Water-damaged off white ceilings
Crumbling crown molding
Faded paint and threadbare linens and
There's no place I'd rather sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Lock me up
Throw out the key
I’ve found my home
[Chorus]
I can’t give up what my mind creates
I won’t be captive won’t be dead
I’ll trap myself instead
These four walls extend beyond my sight
And breathe new life into me
[Bridge: Jhariah and Luis Chavez]
In solidarity
I’ll hide inside so they let me be
They won’t get me
Locked up, I’m free
With my thoughts
[Chorus]
I can’t give up what my mind creates
I won’t be captive won’t be dead
I’ll trap myself instead
These four walls extend beyond my sight
And breathe new life into me

Catch Me If You Can

[Verse 1]
A soldier told me “boy, you can't escape, They're gonna
Find you soon or later and then
You'll be just like me” he said
“You're exactly what they're looking for and they're gonna
Find you, theres nowhere to hide!”
Well I for one can tell you that
Its never hard to keep out of sight
Its just a trick up the sleeve. They
Have no idea what they’re looking for
And ain't gonna find it
I know how to hide
Right beneath your noses
Where you least expect and never will look
Silently, obnoxiously, taunting every step that you take
Not a single footprint following the steps that I took
This one'll go down in the books
[Pre-Chorus]
So watch watch me disappear before your eyes
And catch me if you can
[Chorus]
Catch me, catch me, misplace and mismatch me
Tie your shoes in knots but you'll never harass me
Find me, find me, I dare you to try
I’ll bet on my survival
But now you’re gonna die out there
[Verse 2]
And suddenly I feel I'm invincible, a needle in hay
Detachable from all the wicked things in that place
It's a miracle that I got out of bed everyday
Before I knew I'd live to
Savor this day
I'm taking off
To my own grave
I'm running away
[Pre-Chorus]
So watch watch me disappear before your eyes
And catch me if you can
[Chorus]
Catch me, catch me, misplace and mismatch me
Tie your shoes in knots but you’ll never harass me
Find me, find me, I dare you to try
I’ll bet on my survival
But now you’re gonna die out there
[Chorus]
Catch me, catch me, misplace and mismatch me
Tie your shoes in knots but you’ll never harass me
Find me, find me, I dare you to try
I’ll bet on my survival
But now you’re gonna die out there
[Spoken]
Where could I be? Walking among you or inside your own homes? Or perhaps there's a part of me in all of you. (Hahaha!)
[Bridge]
So catch me if you can
Catch me if you dare
Venture through the foul and you'll see what's fair
Catch me if you can
Catch me if you dare
You'll find me through the fog and the filthy air
[Chorus]
Catch me, catch me, misplace and mismatch me
Tie your shoes in knots but you’ll never harass me
Find me, find me, I dare you to try
I’ll bet on my survival
But now you’re gonna die out there
[Chorus]
Catch me, catch me, misplace and mismatch me
Tie your shoes in knots but you’ll never harass me here
Find me, find me, I dare you to try
I’ll bet on my survival
But now you’re gonna die out there

Not So Bad
03:24

[Verse 1]
I may be wrong but I don’t wanna be right
And I wanna save the world but I’m thinking I might
Destroy it from the inside out, inside out
If I’m gonna die it’ll be my way
It may be the end of it as we know
(may be the end of it as we know)
And I just hope that it won’t be my fault
(just hope that it won’t be your fault)
I’m the only one on this side of the war
Alone, alone, and rotten to the core
[Chorus]
So maybe it’s not so bad if I just fall in line
If I just give in would it be a crime?
If I tried it, I might like it
But every ounce of me resists and I can’t describe it
[Verse 2]
I won’t believe a word you say
I know you might be right
You might be saving humankind
But my inseparable pride
Might be the death of you and me, me, me, yeah
[Bridge]
It’s not so bad, It’s not so bad
It’s not so bad, It’s not so bad
It’s just the end of the world
[Chorus]
So maybe it’s not so bad if I just fall in line
If I just give in would it be a crime?
If I tried it, I might like it
But every ounce of me resists and I can’t describe it
Maybe it’s not so bad if I just fall in line
If I just give in would it be a crime?
If I tried it, I might like it
But every ounce of me resists and I can’t describe it
[Post-Chorus]
Me, me, me, yeah
It’s not so bad, It’s not so bad
(So maybe it's not so bad)
It’s not so bad, It’s not so bad
(So maybe it's not so bad)
It’s just the end of the world
(So maybe it's not so bad)
It’s not so bad, It’s not so bad
(So maybe it's not so bad)
It’s not so bad, It’s not so bad
(So maybe it's not so bad)

[Verse 1]
I’m only here to kill my own confusion
I found a backdoor but no solution
Lying here while the sands fall down
Won't heal my hands right now or their blue contusions
I’m on a hell-bound elevator
When I got on I never planned for it to be this way
I burnt out the white hot flame inside me
Now my skin is scorched to ashes
And I’m burning in the flame
[Chorus]
I wish I could reverse, reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I’m thinking I might get off and just turn back
[Verse 2]
I’m starting to see that the world is gonna end without me
I don’t wanna let it pass me by
I don’t wanna die here in this hole
I won’t fade away
I’ll detonate my soul
[Chorus]
I wish I could reverse, reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I’m thinking I might get off and just turn back
I wish I could Reverse, Reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I’m thinking I might get off and just turn back
[Bridge]
Then a fire started in the hallway
And the smoke rose to the sky
I looked inside myself and asked my ego why
If ashes turn to cities and the stars into the moon
Then why am I inside of my own mind?
[Chorus]
I wish I could reverse, reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I’m thinking I might get off and just turn back
Reverse, reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I’m thinking I might get off and just turn back
[Outro]
I wish I could reverse, reverse
My time is running out
Because these words, they burn
And scorch inside my mouth
I’m mashing the buttons on the wall
I’m realizing that this car only goes down

[Verse]
You’re past the halfway point of a
Story that hopefully has a happy ending
You’re safe for now but are you happy?
Could you survive forever without living?
In any case, stay safe, stay strong
And never let them think they’ve won
Because once something’s been thought
It enters this wasteland that we call the real world
Then it becomes as real as you and me
And once that happens, it can happen

Promises
04:00

|
[Intro]
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Your time is up
End of the line
What will you do about your promises
You bit off more than you can chew
[Verse 1]
I screamed at the top of my swollen lungs
“You’ll never get away with this”
I’ll be your villain if that’s what it takes
To continue burning how I’ve been
[Pre-Chorus]
I promise this isn’t the end
As they dragged me away by my neck
Desperately gasping for air
I swore to all of you that I’d get my revenge
And you’ll want yours
When your kingdom falls in blazing glory
Then we’ll see who’s won
When your pawns betray your every single will
[Chorus]
So when you go, won't you close the door?
Behind the world you used to own
Cause it won’t be yours anymore
I won’t break all the promises
I made to resist everything you do And everything you say
[Verse 2]
When you tried to take the spark in our eyes
Did you think it could go this wrong
I’d suggest that you raise your white flag high
Cause you lost when your puppets reclaimed their lives
[Pre-Chorus]
I promised this to all my friends
To protect our identities
Desperately fighting for a chance I swore to
All of you that I'd get my revenge
And you’ll want yours
When your kingdom falls in blazing glory
Then we’ll see who’s won
When your pawns betray your every single will
[Chorus]
So when you go, won't you close the door?
Behind the world you used to own
Cause it won’t be yours anymore
I won’t break all the promises
I made to resist everything you do And everything you say
So when you go, won't you close the door?
Behind the world you used to own
Cause it won’t be yours anymore
I won’t break all the promises
I made to resist everything you do And everything you say
[Bridge]
So give a round of applause
To your "brainless audience"
To all of your "loyal pawns"
To their mindless radiance
[Chorus]
So when you go, won't you close the door?
Behind the world you used to own
Cause it won’t be yours anymore
I won’t break all the promises
I made to resist everything you do And everything you say
So when you go, won't you close the door?
Behind the world you used to own
Cause it won’t be yours anymore
I won’t break all the promises
I made to resist everything you do And everything you say

[Intro]
I’ve been seeing sunsets for so long
Wonder how the sun feels when it falls
I’ve been searching so hard to find out
Why it rises every morning
[Verse 1]
I wish for unending resolve
To always get up when I fall, when I fall
And if they kick me when I’m down
Hope I separate my body from the ground and get up
Ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-da-ba
And follow with my heart
The momentum of that giant gleaming star
[Pre-Chorus]
So what can I do
How can I be
So bright and true
The sun wonders of me
[Chorus]
So take me to the light behind the moon
And all the stars that lit that dark and desolate room
And without fail I will prevail
I will light up this gloomy world
Soon as I’m done lighting up myself
[Verse 2]
I’ve got a feeling that this chapter
Will soon come to an end, to an end
And then we all can go to sleep
The burden of our bodies on our feet will let up
Ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-da-ba
Ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba
When the burning sun
Begins to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
So what can I do
How can I be
So bright and true
The sun wonders of me
[Chorus]
So take me to the light behind the moon
And all the stars that lit that dark and desolate room
And without fail I will prevail
I will light up this gloomy world
Soon as I’m done lighting up my
Soon as I’m done lighting up my
Soon as I’m done lighting up myself

Goodbye

[Intro]
I never thought I
Would muster the courage to leave here
I broke free of what kept me trapped here
And I don’t think I’m coming back here
So goodbye, farewell
I don’t need you now
I don’t need you now
[Verse 1]
These decaying walls were all that kept me sane
I entrusted everything I had and all my pain
In this Sheetrock jail, this self made prison
I’ve survived fine but I’m not living
This cautionary coffin, that I’m not dying off in
I’m breaking out to face my enemies
This time I’ll stop them
Almost forget them hiding in the dark
But they remember me and have my name upon their scars
[Pre-Chorus]
Me and my past must rift apart
But I’ll always keep this on my arm
[Chorus]
Goodbye to my new home
I miss you dearly even though
You might have stolen my whole life
But I don’t think that I’d be alone
I get this feeling that
I’m not the first and not the last
To find solace in this empty room
Broken but always true
[Verse 2]
How cliche for me to carve my name
Into the insides of this old rotten place
I’ll go away until another day
I hate that I can miss a room this way
It’s sad to say
[Pre-Chorus]
Me and my past must rift apart
But I’ll always keep this on my arm
[Chorus]
Goodbye to my new home
I miss you dearly even though
You might have stolen my whole life
But I don’t think that I’d be alone
I get this feeling that
I’m not the first and not the last
To find solace in this empty room
Broken but always true
[Bridge]
Finally leave this shallow lens to
Just move on and make amends
With my past self, my naive goals
Take my wishes to the end
[Chorus]
Goodbye to my new home
I miss you dearly even though
You might have stolen my whole life
But I don’t think that I’d be alone
I get this feeling that
I’m not the first and not the last
To find solace in this empty room
Broken but always true
[Outro]
Me and my past must rift apart
But I’ll always keep this on my arm

[Verse 1]
Humor me for another minute or two
Please let me tell you how it ends
Hear the great tale of how I ruined it all
If you have the will to spend
[Verse 2]
A curtain closes on our story
An empire fallen from glory
A selfish sense of justice
Implored me to save myself
Strange how it takes being down to have
Something to stand for
[Pre-Chorus]
Then it all went down
I bid farewell
I took the crown from where it fell
I Pulled the roots from where they
Rested In the rotten depths of hell
[Chorus]
Can you hear the sound?
Of a brand new kingdom now
Of our old lights fizzled out
Light a new fire for what we used to aspire to be
You can’t tell me how to live
Or for what I’d give my life
Now the whole world’s singing this
Anthem into the dark of night
[Verse 3]
And in the dark we all gather one last time
To make something of the sticks and stones
That once built up their thrones
From sawdust build a brand new home, oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And it all went down
I bid farewell
I took the crown from where it fell
A bright new flame
A blinding light
Astounding brilliance
Brand new life
[Chorus]
Can you hear the sound?
Of a brand new kingdom now
Of our old lights fizzled out
Light a new fire for what we used to aspire to be
You can’t tell me how to live
Or for what I’d give my life
Now the whole world’s singing this
Anthem into the dark of night
[Bridge]
In the lens through which some eyes will see
This tale is one of failure
And though I don’t think I’m your enemy
I’ll never be your savior
And in the lens through which some eyes will see
This tale is one of victory
And though I don’t think I’m a failure
I don’t deserve your sympathy
[Chorus]
Can you hear the sound?
Of a brand new kingdom now
Of our old lights fizzled out
Light a new fire for what we used to aspire to be
You can’t tell me how to live
Or for what I’d give my life
Now the whole world’s singing this
Anthem into the dark of night
[Outro]
So we draw a new curtain
A new door becomes open
The tale of the sun has Come to an end
(But the tale of the sun can’t end)
