1. WRONG WAY TO HIDE

Wanting to breathe, needing to see
Our struggles are unparalleled
Searching for an answer
We're looking to those who seem to be free
Cover it up to show the unlikely
Who could pull this off in reality?

We've had it made so far
Living off of our unanswered calls
We have grown up to be
People that we've never wanted seen
We've already been seen

The faces that you hide behind
Will only make us realize
That you can't see the problem
We've made out of ourselves
And now we only need
A second to rethink
Cause its time to do more than just stare at the ground

We're asking questions
Where answers can't be found


2. ADDICTION AND HER NAME

You try to move on but still you're perfecting failure
There's always something in your way

Was it the guilt in you that pushed me to improve?
I know you've always had the choice to hear
You gave it all up when you broke the thought
Of keeping away the things you bought
When you took common sense so serious

This time around you're coming closer
You're never coming back until you know it's over
Won't you take it away from me?
Just take it all
Cause you never know you're leaving until it's over

And it's not that it's too hard to try to turn your eyes and drive the pain away
It's how much easier it is to let it stay
Once again it's on the tip my tongue
"Don't you wish it was done?"
I'm afraid we're only at the start
You knew that this is how things are

There's always something in your way


3. PAGES

The turns you had to take still keep you awake
Down come the walls where you once stood
From constant changes you have made
You'll keep inside 'til you have a say

We change as we get older
We're not to stay
The days we walked are over

Now we just drive away
From everything I know
You're counting days on the back of your hands
You turn the pages 'til you have no more plans

The only time you had to think of all the things involved
Came when you were least expecting
And now it's up to us to replace it
To tell us when ages have made a difference
Cause changes tell just who we are

We change as we get older
We're not to stay
The days we walked are over

Now we just drive away
From everything I know
You're counting days on the back of your hands
You turn the pages 'til you have no more plans

Now we're just miles away
From all that we could be
You're counting days on the back of your hands
We turn the pages

Remember the days you've counted won't be forgotten
I hope you won't leave yourself out
When we turn the pages


4. WAITING

We're staring down constantly
With palms open and resting feet
Glancing up once and a while
To find some sense of reconcile

Open our eyes to see what's left
Looking for just one sign of breath
As soon as we think its okay
We'll head our separate ways

What are we waiting for
There's knocking at our door

Slowly but surely I'm turning this around
But there is something that I haven't found
Sooner or later you will be finding out
Sitting there waiting isn't so safe and sound

There's something that's been calling me
I feel that I'm still incomplete
Without knowing what I expect
There's no way that I can perfect

We hesitate with every step
Just one step closer to our death
We're anxious just to take a glance
This could be our last chance

What are we waiting for
There's knocking at our door

Sitting there waiting isn't so safe and sound


5. TAKING CHANCES

I knew it would be so simple
To never count the things you had
You traded all your memories to
Appreciate it all without your mind just feeling trapped

I hope it's not the last

Don't take your chances
With circumstances
I know you're better than that

The thought of being so alone
Takes away from what you swore you could've known
I can't hear you speaking
I'm still not competing with you

Oh, how I hope you don't

Take your chances
With circumstances
I know you're better than that
I thought you would take advantage
I know you're much better than that

So keep your mind from feeling trapped

I hope it's not the last
