1. OVERTURE

(Instrumental)


2. THEATRE

My life is a musical/I know how to put on
a pretty pathetic show

I hide backstage
Keep the curtains closed
'Cause I'm scared, I'm scared

I'm getting pretty good at
feeding them the lines they like
But I don't recognize the girl
that I face each night

I can compromise til I'm convinced it's right

What happened to the girl
who could overlook the world?
She never gave a second thought
to what the other people thought

What happened to the dream
of rejecting the routine?
'Cause they never worked for me

I'm gonna burn this theatre down
and pray to God
For the strength to help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every line like "this is it!"

They say all the world's a stage
Rewriting your identity is all the rage

Well next act please, I'd like a change
I don't really like pretending this way

What happened to the girl
who could overlook the world?
She never gave a second thought
to what the other people thought

What happened to the dream
of rejecting the routine?
'Cause they never worked for me

I'm gonna burn this theatre down
and pray to God
For the strength to help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every line like "this is it!"

I'm gonna burn this theatre down
and pray to God
For the strength to help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every line like "this is it!"

And the sad thing is
We're all in on the action
We're all holding our breath
Waiting for a reaction

You play your part
I'll be playing with matches
And if you'd like a show
You can follow the ashes

I'm gonna burn this theatre down
and pray to God
For the strength to help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every line like "this is it!"

I'm gonna burn this theatre down
and pray to God
For the strength to help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every line like... ... "This is it!"


3. MAKE A MOVE

Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody

Test my reality
Check if there's a weak spot
Clingin' to insanity
In hopes the world will ease up

Try and make it look like
it's all somehow getting better
'Cause I know how to play it pretty good
against the measure

Everyone started out a little insane
But we learn pretty quick
how to fake it for the game

But some of you never learned
to drop the act
So under that skin of yours: a heart attack

'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got all our lives to lose

Screaming in the dark while
We just play our part/I play right along
Like I don't know what's going on

Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move

We all know/We all know what's going on

And if I had the answers
I'd have written them out
So I can tell you what to do
and what this thing is about

But all I've ever learned
comes second-hand
And I dare not preach
what I don't understand

You and I, we share the same disease
Cover up, compromise what we grieve
I've let more than my share of revivals die
This isn't pretty but it's what I am tonight

'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got all our lives to lose

Screaming in the dark while
We just play our part/I play right along
Like I don't know what's going on

Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move

We all know/We all know what's going on

Pointing my fingers
The problems still linger
They keep getting bigger
And I hold the trigger

Running with fire/I live like a liar
Please somebody make a move

Somebody make a move
(I'm pointing my fingers)
Somebody make a move
(The problems still linger)
Somebody make a move
(I'm pointing my fingers)
Somebody somebody make a move

'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move...

Screaming in the dark while
We just play our part/I play right along...

'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got all our lives to lose

Screaming in the dark while
We just play our part/I play right along
Like I don't know what's going on

Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move

We all know/We all know what's going on

Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move

We all know/We all know what's going on


4. GET WELL

We throw tantrums like parties
We're not happy
'til everyone knows we're sick

And that's just how we like it
We've hurt bad enough, right,
we've earned it

Don't tell the others but it's all getting old
I mean, how many more times
must our stories be told?
And being lonely's only fun in a group
It sort of loses its charm when it's true

I meant it when I said
I wanna get well, I wanna get well
Are the rest of you so content?
Stay where you are but it hurts like help

And I'm sure it's fun at first
Test your pulse and check your vitals
If it's only a game you lost me
I quit it with the suicidal recital

So now you know all my secrets
I want out, I know I don't need this

Can you find me friends that don't rank me on what I've been through

The more battle scars
the more attention it gets you

Don't tell the others but it's all getting old
I mean, how many more times
must our stories be told?
And being lonely's only fun in a group
It sort of loses its charm when it's true

I meant it when I said
I wanna get well, I wanna get well
Are the rest of you so content?
Stay where you are but it hurts like help

And I'm sure it's fun at first
Test your pulse and check your vitals
If it's only a game you lost me
I quit it with the suicidal recital

Yeah, we should've known
it would end this way
What did you expect, pretend it all away
All we've got left is a sorry pile of hearts
I'm getting out
Gonna write myself a new start

Come on, dry your eyes
Meet me on the other side
Run as fast as you can
and we'll make it out alive

We know better now
we don't have to live like this
Go tell them all
we don't have to live like this

I meant it when I said I wanna get well...

I meant it when I said
I wanna get well, I wanna get well
Are the rest of you so content?
Stay where you are but it hurts like help

And I'm sure it's fun at first
Test your pulse and check your vitals
If it's only a game you lost me
I quit it with the suicidal recital

If it's only a game you lost me
I quit it with the suicidal recital


5. THE GREY

I am standing on the edge
of returning or just running away
I am letting myself look the other way

And the hardest part in all of this is
I don't think I know my way back home
Is it worth the journey?
or do I let my heart settle here?

How cold have I become?
I didn't want to lose you by what I'd done
Caught in the grey

I don't wanna look you in the eyes
You might call me away
I don't wanna give you
the chance to make me stay

And the hardest part in all of this is
I know my way back, I don't want to go
And let you see all that has become of me

I should've known, I should've known
I didn't have a chance

How cold have I become?
I didn't want to lose you by what I'd done
Caught in the grey

It burns for a moment but
But then it numbs you
Takes you and leaves you just
Caught in the grey

(You tell me)
In your deepest pain/In your weakest hour
In your darkest night/You are lovely

(You tell me)
In your deepest pain/In your weakest hour
In your darkest night/You are lovely

How cold have I become?
I didn't want to lose you by what I'd done
Caught in the grey

It burns for a moment but
But then it numbs you
Takes you and leaves you just
Caught in the grey

In your deepest pain/In your weakest hour
In your darkest night/You are lovely

In your deepest pain/In your weakest hour
In your darkest night/You are lovely

I am standing on the edge
of returning or just running away


6. OFF WITH HER HEAD

I'm lucky if I ever see the light of day again
My skin is choking me
My feeble walls are closing in

This cell is filled with
scholars easing me, they're teasing me
They told me so I didn't know
the fall would be this easy

How long until it starts to do me in
I can’t give out what I’m not breathing in
I know they'll come with what I'm owed
Guilty as charged

My enemies belittle me
Reminding me the penalty of all my deeds, despite my pleas, is death

Don't let go 'cause
I don't wanna be this, I don't wanna be this
Death is mine, I know
Don't let go, don't let go

Save your own 'cause
I don't wanna be this, I don't wanna be this
Death is mine, I know
Don't let go, don't let go, savior

Your way to life has only showed me
what a fool I am
It serves the purpose of confirming
I remain condemned
And I will ever linger on the edge
Unless you hear me

How long until it starts to do me in
I can’t give out what I’m not breathing in
I know they'll come with what I'm owed
Guilty as charged

My enemies belittle me
Reminding me the penalty of all my deeds, despite my pleas, is death

Don't let go 'cause
I don't wanna be this, I don't wanna be this
Death is mine, I know
Don't let go, don't let go

Save your own 'cause
I don't wanna be this, I don't wanna be this
Death is mine, I know
Don't let go, don't let go, savior

[Breakdown]

Don't let go 'cause
I don't wanna be this, I don't wanna be this
Death is mine, I know
Don't let go, don't let go

Save your own 'cause
I don't wanna be this, I don't wanna be this
Death is mine, I know
Don't let go, don't let go

Save your own!


7. FIGHT

Woah/Woah/Woah/Woah

I don't know how I got here
but I refuse to stay
I betrayed myself
when I let others have their way

But I am holding on, my finger on the pulse
The sound of my heart pounding tells me there’s still hope

But people don’t like
when you put up a fight, and
Slowly/Ever so slowly/I am losing mine

I’ll Fight/Fight
Fight or be taken out alive

Fight/Nowhere to run/Nowhere to hide

Standing on the edge, am I better off dead?
How could I forget that I’m better than this
I’ve come too far to fade tonight
Fight or be taken out alive

My thoughts are racing faster
than my body can react
The danger doesn’t register
The fear feels like an act

Don’t pull the plug
I swear this isn’t how I want to go
The sound of my heart pounding
tells me there’s still hope

But people don’t like
when you put up a fight, and
Slowly/Ever so slowly/I'm losing mine

I’ll Fight/Fight
Fight or be taken out alive

Fight/Nowhere to run/Nowhere to hide

Standing on the edge, am I better off dead?
How could I forget that I’m better than this
I’ve come too far to fade tonight
Fight or be taken out alive

I’ve survived on life support but
I’m stronger than I give myself credit for...
These conditions only cure
When we prepare ourselves for war...

I’ve survived on life support but
I’m stronger than I give myself credit for!
These conditions only cure
When we prepare ourselves for war!

I’ll Fight/Fight
Fight or be taken out alive

Fight/Nowhere to run/Nowhere to hide

Standing on the edge, am I better off dead?
How could I forget that I’m better than this
I’ve come too far to fade tonight
Fight or be taken out alive


8. UP IN FLAMES

I don't wanna say what I got on my mind
'Cause nothing tonight
wants to come out on time
The truth is I'd rather sit out and unwind
Let somebody else tell their story this time

I wonder what happened
to give me the right
To step on a platform and pick up a mic
And tell you the way to be living your life
'Cause all my credentials were lies

You've had your say, now take your seat
I know my place, you don't know me

I'll probably end up in flames
before the end of the night
Watch me burn in the fire
Watch me bid you goodbye

Your words fall right off the page
Like they fall on deaf ears
You know that it's over
Nothing left for you here
(Nothing left for you here)

I waited too long letting people like you
tell me what they want
and what I shouldn't do
So mark me with words
but you can't tie my hands
There's nothing I'll say
to make you understand

I know who I am, I know where I'll end up:
In flames and that's fine
'cause I'm finally fed up
Stick with what I started
Don't care how it hurts
The loudest get shot at the worst

You've had your say, now take your seat
I know my place, you don't know me

I'll probably end up in flames
before the end of the night
Watch me burn in the fire
Watch me bid you goodbye

Your words fall right off the page
Like they fall on deaf ears
You know that it's over
Nothing left for you here
(Nothing left for you here)

You know I'll never fold
like you're the authority
I won't throw my hands up
like you're the authority

You know I'll never fold
like you're the authority
I won't throw my hands up
like you're the authority

I'll probably end up in flames
before the end of the night
Watch me burn in the fire
Watch me bid you goodbye

Your words fall right off the page
Like they fall on deaf ears
You know that it's over
Nothing left for you here

I'll probably end up in flames
before the end of the night
Watch me burn in the fire
watch me bid you goodbye

Your words fall right off the page
Like they fall on deaf ears
You know that it's over
Nothing left for you here
(Nothing left for you here)


9. IODINE

I say I wanna be healthy
but I turn up the noise
The IV drips a steady stream of poison
I think I'm just in love with the feeling
Break my bones so I can feel them healing

"Crazy" is, I believe, the medical term
When we wanna recover
but we don't wanna learn
Keep breaking what's been fixed
a thousand times
And gimme some more of that iodine

I can't make reality connect
I push 'til I have nothing left
But if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies?

I'll run in circles 'til I crash
One day these steps will be my last
So if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies?

I say I wanna be happy, but I quickly forget
Will I sabotage all the good I've got left?
Depression's like a big fur coat
It's made of dead things
but it keeps me warm

"Crazy" is, I believe, the medical term
When we wanna recover
but we don't wanna learn
Keep breaking what's been fixed
a thousand times
And gimme some more of that iodine

I can't make reality connect
I push 'til I have nothing left
But if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies?

I'll run in circles 'til I crash
One day these steps will be my last
So if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies?

I don't like pain but I bring it to life
I don't like scars but I'm good with the knife
I don't like tears when I'm starting to cry
And then I realize I'm destroying my life

I do this to myself/I do this to myself
Stop blaming someone else
We do this to ourselves

I can't make reality connect
I push 'til I have nothing left
But if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies?

I'll run in circles 'til I crash
One day these steps will be my last
So if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies?

So if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these-

WHY WE STILL SINGING
THESE LULLABIES!?


10. ONLY A MEMORY

I can't help but close my eyes for life
And dream a different ending
When I wake, I won't be so exhausted
And I will stop with my pretending

That I'm fine, I'm fine
if I can fool myself tonight
And my lie will drown out all of yours

I will not bend until I break,
how much can one bruised body take?
Just not enough to silence me,
you're only a memory
I'll scream these words 'til they come true, then I will think no more of you
Look back on what I'm going through,
this isn't my identity

You will bleed
for what your hands have done
You can't outrun your ending
And I'll get well long before you let yourself
I may forgive you, but you never will

I will not bend until I break,
how much can one bruised body take?
Just not enough to silence me,
you're only a memory

I'll scream these words 'til they come true, then I will think no more of you
Look back on what I'm going through,
this isn't my identity

And I told you, I told you, you had no right
How damaged you must be
Watch you panic, it's tragic,
you'll carry this for life
You have my sympathy

I will not bend until I break,
how much can one bruised body take?
Just not enough to silence me,
you're only a memory

I'll scream these words as they come true, then I will think no more of you
Look back on what I'm going through,
this isn't my identity

You're only a memory
This isn't my identity

You're only a memory
This isn't my identity (I will not bend)

You're only a memory (I will not break)
This isn't my identity (I will not bend)

You're only a memory (I will not break)
This isn't my identity (I will not bend)

You're only a memory (I will not break)
This isn't my identity (I will not bend)

You're only a memory (I will not break)
This isn't my identity (I will not bend)


11. PIECES

You're not running just enough of a wreck
To hold the hurt heart everybody expects

a history of making a mess
Misunderstood's
an understatement at best

How long/How long

We all know hurt
So why do you feel the need to?

You're after something better
It doesn't show/You're still not put together

Put on a pretty face
Give them a pretty taste
No one's buying it anyway

You're so tired trying to rewind the mess you've made of your own mind (Woah)

Everybody knows
Liars never make it for long
I am getting close
I can see just what's going on
Everybody knows/Everybody knows/Woah

I remember what you were
before you gave it away
You've never been the type
To watch the pieces fall where they may
And now you've let it go
But I know you know/Woah

Oooh...

...No, the pieces
won't pick up themselves, you know...

You're so tired trying to rewind the mess you've made of your own mind...

BONUS TRACKS (JAPAN)


12. FALL APART

Fall apart/We don't fall apart
Fall apart/We don't fall apart

I'll bet you didn't think
That the more you'd try to kill us
The more we'd rise up
The more we'd wise up

I bet you got your hands full
trying to dilute us
You've hit a brick wall
Won't weaken our resolve

We've already given away
What you're trying to take
What you're trying to take

But when you've died a thousand deaths
What's one more?
We look you in the eyes
and we say/and we say

Seize our families/Take our homes away
We don't fall apart/We don't fall apart

I guess you didn't think
That so many would be willing
To disown their lives/to say their goodbyes

I don't think you have any idea
just what you're killing
We will walk on/We live on

Who is the fool
Who gives what he can't save
To gain the one thing
That nobody can take?
Though it may cost us everything
We look you in the eyes and we say

Seize our families/Take our homes away
We don't fall apart/We don't fall apart

Body after body to the grave
We don't fall apart/We don't fall apart

Death without love profits nothing
I must be still alive/I must be still alive!

[Breakdown]

Seize our families/Take our homes away
We don't fall apart/We don't fall apart

Body after body to the grave
We don't fall apart/We don't fall apart

Seize our families/Take our homes away
We don't fall apart/We don't fall apart...


13. CALL ME ALIVE

Take it away!

Come call me alive/Your heart carries mine
Don't leave me to die/Alright

Come call me alive/Your heart carries mine
Don't leave me to die/Alright

I shouldn't have let them have me
Now it's too late for regrets
Will I ever learn, or am I doomed to burn?
I keep tasting it/I keep choking

Take my water/Take my oxygen
They never could help me
I'm left just as empty tonight

Come call me alive/Your heart carries mine
Don't leave me to die/Alright

I can't give in to madness
And let them numb me over
They wait to weaken me
and take me piece by piece
I'm poised for the kill/Don't dare swallow

Take my water/Take my oxygen
They never could help me
I'm left just as empty tonight

I will stop at nothing less than you
Ruined me/You've ruined me
Nothing else moves me

Take my water/Take my oxygen
They never could help me
I'm left just as empty tonight

I, I will stop at nothing less than you
Ruined me/You've ruined me
Nothing else moves me

Promise me you'll hunt me down
Or it's torn for now
I have come unwound without falling

Promise me you won't back down
Come call me alive/Come call me alive

Come call me alive
Come call me alive
Come call me alive/Alive

Come call me alive/Come call me alive

OTHER BONUS:


0. THE GREY (EP version)

I am standing on the edge
of returning or just running away
I am letting myself look the other way

And the hardest part in all of this is
I don't think I know my way back home
Is it worth the journey?
or do I let my heart settle here?

How cold have I become?
I didn't want to lose you by what I'd done
Caught in the grey

I don't wanna look you in the eyes
You might call me away
I don't wanna give you
the chance to make me stay

And the hardest part in all of this is
I know my way back, I don't want to go
And let you see all that has become of me

I should've known/I should've known
I didn't have a chance

You pull me in and keep me there
And tell me what I need to hear

I should've known/I should've known
I didn't have a chance

You pull me in and keep me there
And tell me what I need to hear

In your deepest pain/In your weakest hour
In your darkest night/You are lovely

In your deepest pain/In your weakest hour
In your darkest night/You are lovely

How cold have I become?
I didn't want to lose you by what I'd done
Caught in the grey

It burns for a moment but
But then it numbs you
Takes you and leaves you just
Caught in the grey

In your deepest pain/In your weakest hour
In your darkest night/You are lovely

In your deepest pain/In your weakest hour
In your darkest night/You are lovely

I am standing on the edge
of returning or just running away

I break at the thought of you
Break at the thought of you
Break at the thought of you...

I break at the thought of you
Break at the thought of you
Break at the thought of you...

We don't belong to you!

[Breakdown]

I feel like failing
Can't keep this sickness to myself
I feel like breaking
Letting the red in me leak out

It's been a while
Since I felt so low to the ground, so filthy
And tonight I feel like letting go
Who would notice me go?

I wonder how much it'd take
For the fall of me
I'm feeling my mistakes/I'm feeling guilty

It's getting harder to breathe
Their grip is tightening on me
And things are not as it seems

I sit/I shake/I scream
I rise/I lift/I dream
I sit/I shake/I scream
I refuse to rest 'til I'm free

I break at the thought of you
Crave to be over you
Wake to a gruesome truth
We don't belong to you

You keep on pushing
Like I won't notice when I know
I owe you nothing
You don't decide what I'll become

I am an infidel/I'm illegitimate
These are the lies that'll leave us waiting
I'm unexcusable/I am the fruit of shame
How could a sinner be worth saving

I give you no mistake
You get no part of me
You'll need to face this thing
And know you're guilty

It's getting harder to breathe
Their grip is tightening on me
And things are not as they seem

I sit/I shake/I scream
I rise/I lift/I dream
I sit/I shake/I scream
I refuse to rest til I'm free

I break at the thought of you
Crave to be over you
Wake to a gruesome truth
We don't belong to you

2. Conversation With A Rockstar

You're everything I wanna be
But that's not true at all
I've held you high/I've built a lie

You're nothing like you used to be
And that's not right at all
You've given in/You've let them win

And I'm sorry that these words
are coming out of my mouth
But I don't wanna be like you
I'm sorry that I'm just now figuring out

Someone else can save the world
I won't sell my soul for this
I wasn't meant to make them happy
I wasn't meant to make them money

Someone else can let it all go
Trade themselves for one more show
But I wasn't meant to throw myself away
For one meager shot at fame

I thought you could think for yourself
and fight for what you loved
They're using you/You know they do

And I don't think I want to take
The same road that you're on
It can't be worth the way you hurt

And I'm sorry that these word
are coming out of my mouth
But I don't wanna be like you
I'm sorry that I'm just now figuring out

Someone else can save the world
I won't sell my soul for this
I wasn't meant to make them happy
I wasn't meant to make them money

Someone else can let it all go
Trade themselves for one more show
But I wasn't meant to throw myself away
for one meager shot at fame

Do you even remember why you wanted to
get this far in the first place?
Do you even remember why you wanted to
be a rock star in the first place?
Well, it's not too late

'Cause Someone else can save the world
Don't you sell your soul for this
You weren't meant to make them happy
You weren't meant to make them money

'Cause Someone else can let it all go
Trade themselves for one more show but you weren't meant to throw yourself away

No

We weren't meant to throw ourselves away
For one meager shot at fame

Oh

One meager shot at fame/fame/oh fame


3. CARRIED AWAY

I won't be carried away
I won't be carried away
I won't be carried away

I say/I say... Yeah!

This is as weak as they come
This is as far as I'll run
I'm growing ill with the cure
You're just as hungry for more

I've exhausted all my caution
Breaking down is not an option

Haven't you had enough? Aren't you tired?
Well, this is where I draw the line
Haven't you had your fill of the empty?
Aren't you ready to sing?
I won't be carried away

Good grief and give it a rest
My struggle never relents
We'll never know what it costs
Until we're too weak to stop

I've exhausted all my caution
Breaking down is not an option

Haven't you had enough? Aren't you tired?
Well, this is where I draw the line
Haven't you had your fill of the empty?
Aren't you ready to sing?
I won't be carried away

I won't be carried away
I won't be carried away
I won't be carried away

I say/I say

I won't be carried away
I won't be carried away
I won't be carried away

I won't be carried away
I won't be carried away
I won't be carried away

I won't be carried away

Haven't you had enough? Aren't you tired?
Well, this is where I draw the line
Haven't you had your fill of the empty?
Aren't you ready to sing?
I won't be carried away
