Lyrics

SOMETHING WORTH FIGHTING FOR

Promise Me
Promise me you will not hold on to the past
cause we don’t know how long we will last.
And please don’t treat this like it is a game,
cause broken hearts are on the floor from where you came
So come on Love, take a breath.
And take a risk on the chance
We could find something bigger than what’s in both our eyes
And we’ll fly farther than we ever could realize

Iloveyouwithacrash
He says I love you, with a crash. The call it drops, her phone falls to her lap.
His head hits the windshield and everything turns black, everything turns black.
So she tries a quick call back. His phone must be jacked.
She’ll just call again later.
As he looks up they say, You’re gonna be fine Tell that driver to drive!
I love you. (with a crash)

Over and Over
Pulse is racing. Mouth is wording.
Sending up a prayer for the strength to struggle here with the pain
I was waiting for the right time, did I miss you all together?
I was waiting for the right time, did I lose you over and over?
So here I am with my dreams.
Selfishly they turn to fantasies.
Where I am happy, and you are nothing.
�
Tell You, I
She says, I have to get this out.
You may not be able to hear, but hear me out.
This may not change, but baby I’ve changed. Watching you here, I have to say
We know this won’t last forever so I’ll hold you. I’ll hold you now.
We know this won’t last forever so I’ll tell you I love you now.
With a breath she puts her hand in his and rests her head.
But a squeeze brings her back again, and with a smile she says

Oh, Hopeful
Oh, Hopeful. The room stands still.
And hearts they race to set the pace.
Oh tears, they flow as fear is taking hold.
As anger grows, she’s letting go
He’ll find his way back home, his heart still fights.
But with a body broken, hope is fading slowly out of sight
tonight.
Oh painful awaking.
As nerves are reacting.
A light perhaps, as eyes they crack.
And the smile on her face
He’ll find his way back home, his heart still fights.
And as the eyes they open, hope is fading slowly into sight.

Make Us See
He sits in a hospital bed, metal in his legs.
But he will not give up the fight, even if it means more surgery.
Oh the tragedy is that you and me cannot see the beauty till we feel the pain.
Then it transforms everything
We’ll hold on to the memories of the wounds that bleed to make us strong.
And we’ll hold on to the scars received from the pain and grief to make us see.
He looks at the ceiling all day in constant pain.
Yet he will not lose hope, even if it means breathing through machines.
We’ll hold on

An Ending or Beginning
She sits in the waiting room for the men in blue.
She hopes for the good news they told her to hold on to.
Instead they inform her of his last breath,
and the complications that led to his death.
So we hold to the words they said,
But the words they said were broken.
So we go to where the lies end,
Back to an ending or beginning.
She falls to her knees, lets out a scream.
And as the anger swells, the pain overwhelms, it all goes white
So we hold

A Breath, A Lie
In a blink these words of mine, I will leave behind.
A breath, a lie, that coincide to make this guilt fall behind.
And I’ll fall down will I get back up again? Can I get back up again?
Eyes pace from side to side.
How can I justify? Or to purify?
Am I too far? Too far behind?
And I’ll fall down

Face of Love�
He lays down, says to goodnight to all.
As his friends and family all gather around.
And the tears come streaming down their face��he is smiling in that place,
Though they cannot see his face.�
So she sits in the bathroom and has a drink.
Everyone in the living room is far too fake to take right now.
And she wonders if the pain is worth the trade for the chance of love,
Or would she rather give up��
Lives are spent searching for the face of Love.
Many hearts are broken and breaking.
Will we stop the search and lose it all?
And in return die inside�we will die inside.�
�
Something Worth Fighting For
Slowly building a tolerance to all the drugs they feed us
That slowly dissolves our spine and steals the strength that we hide.�
But you are something�
You are something�
You are something…worth fighting for.�
Where to all the heroes land?
They�ve been replaced by hollow men.
Who always turn the other cheek.
And consequence: courage�we defeat.�

NO ORDINARY PEOPLE

Alive
Oh break on through
And make this old house new
Not with brick but with you
And now I feel so alive�
Oh make these words true
And this time for you
And now I feel so alive�
All these years spent on myself
I found solace in mediocrity
So won�t you take this canvas from the shelf
And paint a portrait with me
And now I feel so alive�

All of Us
The baby kicks in the womb and the whole world moves
He kisses her lips and she was calm the whole night through
While down the hall Sarah says her peace to her dad
They embrace. She says goodbye to the only man she�ll ever know
She�s waiting for a sign
She�s praying to the sky
All the walks around and round but when will she come down
She leaves him a note and packs up her things
She�s sick of the lies and the black eyes that never heal
She�s waiting for a sign
She�s praying to the sky
All the walks around and round but when will she come down
See we all just want a little piece of home to carry us
And we all just want to feel like we�re loved for the life of us
Oh beauty, calm your mind. You will be there.
This life is more than just some comfort everywhere.
We all just want a little piece of home to carry us
And we all just want to feel like we�re loved for the life of us

Stay
Stay with me now, away from all harm
I don�t mind a heart to mend, just hold me now don�t ever let me go
Stay with me now, don�t go far
I want you to be with me �till the end
Give me your hand whenever you think you�ve lost your way
I�ll bring you back and we can go start a brand new day
Don�t walk out with just a stare
Turn around and show me that you care
Stay with me now, don�t go far
I want you to be with me �till the end
I don�t mind a heart to mend, just hold me now don�t ever let me go
Stay�

Fall Apart
It�s on the other side
The life I cannot find
I want it, I need it now
Just outside my hands
I�ll take it if I can
I want it, I need it now
All these things that we�ve built will slowly fall apart
Fall apart and burst at the seams, at the seams
Hollywood is wrong
I�ve known it all along
I love you, I see it now
All these things that we�ve built will slowly fall apart
Fall apart and burst at the seams, at the seams
�Cause you can�t hold all these things with good intentions and hollow feelings
You need love. You need love.

Alright
4 a.m. driving. New Mexico, we�re arriving.
Second day straight of driving.
Rumble strips waking. A tired �Are you o.k.?�
7 o�clock philosophy makes things seem okay
But I�m alright if you�re alright
These last hundred miles have just been bringing me down
But if you turn up the radio and roll down the windows so we can scream at the top of our lungs
I see love as fading, but you say it is waiting somewhere out there�at least you swear
L.A. was so crazy. The cell phone charge is draining. Get home fast, �cause they�re all waiting.
Cause I�m alright if you�re alright
These last hundred miles have just been bringing me down
But if you turn up the radio and roll down the windows so we can scream at the top of our lungs
Oh home is just around the bend.
Oh, home is just around the bend.
So I�m alright�

Last Time
�Cause you don�t love Him the way you loved Him the last time that you saw Him
Oh the words written on your face read like a farewell letter
And the movement of your hand is like a lie detector
�Cause you don�t love Him the way you loved Him the last time that you saw Him
So you pierce him with stares and make him guilty for something that isn’t there
When the only one who’s guilty here is the one betraying with a kiss
Cause you don’t love Him the way you loved Him the last time that you saw Him
Oh and tear him down with paragraphs and make all your wrongs seem right
Oh you tear him down with paragraphs and make all you lies seem white
No you don’t love Him

The Truth
I can’t echo the same sentiment when I’m surrounded by hypocrites
And I march right along with them. While tattooed at the back of my head, of my head
Is Leader
All my fears have such strength that Sampson and Hercules could not conquer them
Why should I show my scars to them, when they haven’t even healed?
And I know that these whispers will turn into screams
But are we getting any better?
Are we swimming in the shallow end?
Are we searching for that garden lost?
When the truth has been right under our nose the whole time.
Am I singing to myself? I don’t know know
Do you even have ears to hear? I don’t know know’
Are we getting any better?
While the truth has been right under our nose the whole time.

Man In Tension
Tell me how this has all come about by chance
Tell me that this feeling I get from her eyes is just chemical rush to the head
Tell me that we all are a program set by some being or a force
Oh but tell me how the slave in the cave can know the shadows on the wall
But we’ll fight as long as we have breath still in our lungs
And we’ll wrestle the angel till we’ve made it on our own
Oh man in tension
A man in tension
Tell me that our hearts can all reflect His hands and side
Tell me how our words add up to what He did
And we’ll fight as long as we have breath still in our lungs
And we’ll wrestle the angel till we’ve made it on our own
Oh man in tension
A man in tension
Still we’ll wrestle the angel till we’ve made it on our own.
Oh man in tension

Try To Be
Those shoes that you wore and that shirt from the thrift store don’t make you anymore
Cause this scene’s so dead and all of these people seem to looking, searching, begging for more
So don’t try to be, try to be something you’re not
Or you’ll turn out just like the rest in this lot
And they’ll never come back, never come back for you
And uniqueness is bred where love is evident and love surrounds
And perfect design always screams of something more and we scream for more
So don’t try to be, try to be something you’re not
Or you’ll turn out just like the rest in this lot
And they’ll never come back, never come back for you

We Are
She walks down and says goodnight
And she locks down and grabs the knife
To make the small incisions that numb away the pain
And she wants to be so much more, but she’ll settle for less today
He turns on the screen and types out the means
To make himself the man of their dreams
Deep down he knows it’s just a fallacy
But it’s so much easier from behind the screen
We are, we are so much more than what they say we are
We are, we are looking for the missing piece that make us who we are.
We are
