Heading out when the city calls my name
And everywhere I look the people all seem the same
Colors on the concrete tell us who to blame
Life in slow motion tell me now are we insane?

My friend please carry this weight for me
It’s too much to shoulder and I’m on my knees
I can’t walk one more mile, help me please
When I fall down make me believe

Buildings are tall and I’m so small
Ask me where I’m going, nowhere at all
Living it up and not getting paid
Wondering, people, who I should blame

Nothing to do is everything with you
Nothing to do is everything, everything, everything with you

Day in day out losing memory
Turn in, cry out, and I’m history
Go out, tune in, to another tragic scene
Wake up for what, a chance to be seen

Buried my love, it’s on my sleeve
Catch the wave and it’s time to leave
Learn your lesson, find your destiny
Lose your questions and you’re finally free

Elmore/McIntyre

Just because it's simple
Don't mean it's easy
Starts with a ripple
Gets a little messy
Just because it's easy
Don't make it right
Keep yourself busy
Fight the good fight
Don't find yourself lazy
In the middle of the night
You'll drive yourself crazy
But you feel alright
Yeah you feel alright

Just because it's simple
Don't make it worthless
In fact if I'm honest
Makes it all worthwhile
Just because it's worthless
Don't mean it's broken
I'm just a little curious
What makes us human
Is it how we talk
In the way we walk
A string of evolution
Sparks revolution

So keep it simple, stupid
Keep it simple, stupid
Keep it simple!
Simple!

It could be so simple
If you give just a little
Mother’s cosmic riddle
Unwinding all the time
It may be little
With sense of care
Could be lethal
Floating out there
In a supernova
Or collapsing star
On the Mars rover
A little too far
Oh a little too far

It should be so simple
Like the tools we need
They can be so crucial
Like the new James Dean
Is all we need
Trapped behind our screen?
Lost in a fairytale
Tearing at the seams
Can we get out?
Can we break free?
Isn't it simple
To care for me?

Elmore/McIntyre

The Captain had a heart made of gold
Everyone around him he showed
Blessed by fortune and fame
Swore he would never change
But he did

Loved by all in his land
The Captain was the man with the plan
Built him up so he could tear them down
Soon he would own all this town

Fame has a way of changing nice things
And time is a ghost when you want it the most, I know
Oh what a shame most things never change
So let’s have a toast for the host with most, The Captain
The Captain!

Living large he preys
Sitting high above the waves
Can you count the days
Since your conscience went astray
Living large he preys
Sitting high above the waves
Can you count the days
Since your conscience went astray

Silias was a hard-working man
Built his business on Convention’s land
Worked every day until the bitter end
Couldn’t anticipate The Captain’s plan

The Captain looked around and cracked a grin
Played this game before and knows how to win
Silias lost it all in no time
Captain lined his pockets on Silias’ dime

A dollar has the power to change the way you cower
And the truth of the matter it’ll make us all mad as the Hatter
Oh what a shame some things never change
So let’s have a toast for the host with the most, The Captain
The Captain!

TheCaptain has a heart made of stone
No wonder he’s all alone
Lost his mind and gained his throne
Fat and happy all on his own

Captain can’t look in the mirror
The man he sees isn’t who he remembers
Bides his time while the hour nears
Counts his money and dries his tears

Elmore/McIntyre

Starting from zero been hurt and abused
This applies to all of us not just a few
Scars on our bodies won’t go away
So we listen to the music every day
And we hope and pray
We hold up strong ‘till the end of the day
And we can fight the pain and light our way out

‘Cause we know what we’re fighting for
Now more than ever before
‘Cause we know what we’re fighting for
Now more than ever before
And we found what we’re searching for
We don’t have to look anymore

We’ve grown and we’ve grown and got so strong
Living our lives and it didn’t take long
Lovin’ a little more every day
And the groove hits us right and we like it that way
And I just have to say
I see your struggle my friend
Each and every day
I know you’re fighting
But livin’ that best life anyway

‘Cause you know what you’re fighting for
Now more than ever before
‘Cause you know what you’re fighting for
Now more than ever before
And you found what you’re searching for
You don’t have to look anymore

Don’t you worry yourself no more
Just let the music soothe your soul
Don’t you ever let it go
Don’t you ever let it go
Don’t you ever let it go

Wake up to find a new dream on your mind
Happens every day you’re always in line
Better or worse it’s all up to you
Fight some new battles or sing a new tune
And you’ll wake up feeling fine
Work a little harder maybe this time
Fight through your blues every day
Then smile a little bit because you found your way out

‘Cause you know what you’re fighting for
Now more than ever before
‘Cause you know what you’re fighting for
Now more than ever before
And you found what you’re searching for
You don’t have to look anymore
And we found what we’re searching for
We don’t have to look anymore

Elmore/McIntyre

Cloud of ash, dark as coal
Intertwined with hearts so bold
A sister sleeps on a sandy sidewalk
Love in her eyes
And her silent screams keep echoing
Rapidly through history

Time doesn't pass, dreams never last
All painful facts, drowning in tax
And oh what it would mean to be
Oh so free
Yes these are hard times were in
Look up, try to smile again

Oh no, we've come undone
We have got nowhere to run
Can't fight we don't have guns
So tonight lets have some fun
In Convention

Monotone eyes sit and stare
Ever vacant without a care
Pushing through endless tides
Looking for answers they'll never find
Light passes through a dark damp crack
In a sewer of the Captain’s scraps

Don't cry now
Don't cry now
Don't cry now
Don't cry now

Tomorrow night may be alright
But not here
In Convention

Oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh in Convention

Elmore/McIntyre

Sometimes she shines so very bright
Just hoping he'll reflect her light
Glints and glistens of closer stars
Yet she pursues him – so cool so far

Burning hot and racing 'round
Warming it all, the air, the ground
But the heart she yearns to warm the most
That elusive bear that pale steady ghost

When once they met, his shadows, her light
All night was day and day was night
They bared their souls, shared a fleeting kiss
Forgotten was misery
Lost in Bliss
Lost in bliss
Lost in bliss

The people stood frozen, entranced, in awe
As her raging fire touched his misty calm
So rare is a spectacle such as this
The stuff of stories, tales and myths
And all at once that sweet moment had passed
A lifetime of love come and gone so fast
Pulled apart so sudden so soon
Dimmer the sun but brighter the moon

And life went on the world kept turning
His stone cold face, her incessant burning
But carried in her heart that one sweet kiss
Forgotten was misery
Lost in Bliss
Lost in bliss
Lost in bliss

Darkness above
Dusk on the horizon
Or is it dawn
Which way is the sun shinin'
The warmest embrace
But time is fleeting
It just can't last
This celestial meeting
Time stands still
Hearts are racing
Or just lust that we're facing

Hot chills and
Cold sweat and
Cheap thrills
And no regrets

And a ring, a ring, a ring around the moon

Elmore/McIntyre/Sheldon

I see you looking down in your cup
I see you looking down in your cup
Ain't been your day week or month
Have you had enough?
All you need is a little trust
To pull yourself right back up a little more

You ain't got nothin left to give
What about when it's all gone?
So what's left? Broken pieces
Until another day comes

Daybreak come and you can't find your home
You look around for help, but honey you're all alone
So pay the man what's he due let's move alone
Right in that rearview is where he belongs
All you need is a little trust
To pull yourself right back up a little more

You ain't got nothin left to give
What about when it's all gone?
So what's left? Broken pieces
Until another day comes

That life before never left you at all
Take a breath when your backs against the wall
Just take my hand and hold it in yours
Lift up your head and open the door
Carry this weight like never before

You ain't got nothin left to give
What about when it's all gone?
So what's left? Broken pieces
Until another day comes 

So what's left? Broken pieces
Until another day comes

Looking to the sky, looking for answers
She’s down on her knees, shaking from anger
Fist clenched so tight she’d break an anchor
World done her wrong, love done her cruel
Yeah, yeah love done her cruel
When she gets back up she’ll have nothing left to lose

She was beaten down, now watch her come up
Moving on the dance floor, you’re not keeping up
Watch her spin, child begin again
World done her wrong, but it was her tool
Yeah, yeah she’s no fool
Now she’s back up, she got nothing to lose

Dragon fire she’s burnin up
Calm your mind, you’ve had too much
Close your eyes
And then get down like…

Little boy on the sidewalk looking at his hands
He wants to work hard, doesn’t have any plans
The man strolled over, signed him away
The man done him wrong, he was up to no good
No, no, no good
In between the lines is where they’re screwing you

Boy is now a man, about six foot tall
Been to all those countries and lost it all
Gave up his mind and tossed out his soul
Wounded head to toe, tell me who’s in control
Oh who’s in control?
The same men who say do as you’re told

Are you tough are you tough enough?
When the world only treats you rough
And the weight is like a loaded gun
It’s not fair but we’re not giving up

Drescher/Elmore/McIntyre

This is the last thing you're gonna take from me
Got me so out of air, it's getting hard to see
And every day feels like a distant memory
And every night I'm toss and turning in my sheets

This is the last fight we're gonna go through
Take my dignity and love my truth
Gonna go far – far away from you

Somewhere bright and blue
Anywhere is better than you
Somewhere far from here
I’ll live my truth and lose my fear
Somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere

You know I get so tired of hiding when you seek
I know you done something wrong, you're talking in your sleep
And every day is a different kind of agony
I'll shed my skin and what you've done to me

This is the part where I take it all back
Take back my time gonna hit restart
Snuff out our flame and reclaim my heart
This is the part where I take it all back
Crystal visions come crashing through
My eyes are open and I love the view Skies of blue are never rare

Somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere

Elmore/McIntyre

Break of day you sailed away to nowhere
Riding the riptide misty eyed morning glare
I feel our strain while I count each grain of love
Don't stray and sail away, I'll watch from above
The sea is now your home

You rescued me
You set me free
You never understood
How goodbye can feel so
So good

Scars run deep but I won't lose sleep anymore
No shame in my pain as I rise from the floor
So many words I never will say
Goodbye my love now I fly away
The stars are my home

So fly fly away
So fly fly away
So fly fly away
So fly fly away

With the wind beneath you sail away
With the wind beneath you sail away
With the wind beneath you sail away
With the wind beneath you sail away

You sailed away
You left today
You saved me
You saved me
You never understood
How goodbye can feel so
So good

The sky is on fire
Orange and red burst from blue
Cities are burning
Pretend there’s nothing we can do

Black and blue
Bruised wrists bury the truth
Mother Earth made hollow
While she sings the blues

Echoes whisper sweetly
We’ve been here before
Same old song
Bleeding through our doors

Break these chains
Flee to Evermore
Mother Earth will swallow
All and wipe the score

We better wise up
We better make a change
Clear a new path to better days
We better wake up
We better cry out loud
We only get one life so we gotta treat it right
Treat it right
Treat it right
We only get one life so we gotta treat it right
Treat it right
Treat it right
We only get one life so we gotta treat it right

The stage is set
We can all move on the floor
The space between us
Holds each and every soul

Together we rise
‘Till our hearts fade away
As one we survive
Or we all die slaves

We can rise up
We can make a change
Clear a new path to better days
We can wake up
We can cry out loud
We only get one life so we gotta treat it right
Treat it right
Treat it right
We only get one life so we gotta treat it right
Treat it right

Elmore/McIntyre

House is quiet as light creeps in
For a moment I’m alone
Rising is the path to sin
So I remain prone

Moving is looking to the other side
Living is waiting for closed eyes
Yearning to leave the ride
Wasted in disguise

I’ve been laying here so long
Too long waiting to feel strong
Though I lay still
I’m still falling
Still falling
I’m falling

When I rise to shed my clothes
Mostly feeling like I’m at it alone
Until the forces that have left me
Return to their home

When I’m out and on my own
Falling fast like a stone
Bottom of the bottle is all I know
And so it goes

Tiny fractured pieces held together
Loosely with a belt of leather
Wading side to side
Until a breeze blows by

Trust your heart let the love in
Don’t be a slave to where you’ve been
Time is short, the future is now
So trust there will be
A shining light up ahead
Trust for yourself again
Nothing more to tear you down
And your head up in the clouds

Time is short, the future is now
Keep your head up in the clouds

Elmore/McIntyre
