MY ADDICTION

I'm dry
Suffering from a drought that's been too long
Caught in the wind and fire that keep me sitting high
I'll be a fuel to what I know
Left to crash and burn if I don't move
I try on my own, but that's no hope
To use

Just to see you,
To see you once again
Just to see you
As my addiction

I'm tired
High up on the rungs I need to climb
Looking for a place to put the wings I need to fly
I reach out to touch a part of you
But my prescription's overdue
I've relapsed and now I can't fly straight
To you

In my head
I need to have
You're the drug
I need to have as my

EVERYTIME

If I knew just where you were
I would be there
If you knew just where I was
You'd be here
The sun goes down on this old town
Another word's lost while another one's found
Will I ever know what to say?
What to say?

I want to show you how
You take my words
And you make them come out right
Everytime
I want to show how
You take my world
And you make it come alive
Everytime
Everytime

If I lost the words to say
You’d find them
If I hid them all away
You’d see them
You were standing where you were
A little afraid and a little unsure
An awkward phrase could come alive
Tonight

This silence is broken
It's coming down

DRIVE TO THE SUN

I don't know how fast we're going
I don't know how far we've gone
There hasn't been a sign of stopping
And there's no point in slowing down
I've been on this same grey highway
For far too long
Maybe it's the road I've chosen
Maybe it's the load I've chosen

And I wouldn't change a thing
I wouldn't change a thing

I'd drive to the sun
If I could
I would leave it all behind
If I could – you know I would

I want to go where the moon is rising
Long past these broken waves
Push away the war and violence
See the world down on it's knees
We've been on this same grey highway
For far too long
Maybe it's the road we've taken
Maybe it's the load we've taken

And I wouldn't change a thing
I wouldn't change a thing

If I could I would drive to the sun
If I could I would leave it all behind
If I could – you know I would

SOLO

I have gone solo
A tribute to myself
It's not about me now
But I'll put it on a shelf
I have a mission of deceiving
No one here is so misleading
You thought you knew
What you looked up to

And you do
And it's you

We have gone AWOL
Lost meaning to what means
A harder time faking
Stacked up against our queens
But the pawns are not disabled
A peace is what they see
But the knights are so unstable
They're led up to this defeat

And they do
What they do
So they lose

And it's unlike you to get what you deserve
And it's unlike you to get what you deserve

I saw the light on
I saw the IOU
I knew the game we played was through

NOTHING MATTERS

Have you ever felt the weight of the whole wide world crashing?
Have you ever heard the screams of shattered dreams?
I think you know you have (who hasn't)
I think you know the way it seems
There's nothing here that matters
There's nothing left that matters to you

When everything you knew
Was all wrong
The things that were good are all gone
Nothing matters to you

Has there ever been a time when your faith was made more real
Have you ever felt the doubt of certainty
I think you know you have (who hasn't)
I think you know the way it seems
There's nothing here that matters
There's nothing left that matters

CAN’T SAY NO

I've seen it all before
And I can't change it
Another girl who just wants more
She won't understand what that means
When she can't say no

She's seen it all before
And she can't change it
Another push through the open door
So she can cook herself in the pressure that she faces
Another one the hotplate
But nothing's a complete state
She wants to test a new face
To fit in with the crowd she's been trying out

She says it all
When she can't say no

She's holding on
But what's the pain meant for
When she's gone
Friends aren't friends
And I don't think
They could be the same again
She needs something more

BEAUTIFUL (YOU KNOW)

You are beautiful,
More than I could ever know
You are the sunshine in a dark place
In this dark soul
You know who I am
You know who I could be
And that's beautiful to you
You're so beautiful to

You consume my soul
You make me whole
You know everything

You are wonderful
More than I could ever know
You are the water in the desert
Of this dry soul You know who I am
You know who I could be
And that's beautiful to you
You're so beautiful to

Bring dust to life
Change wrong to right
You know everything

SOMEWHERE

Somewhere, you've taken too much
Seasons are out of touch
And everything's the same
Your friends they never change at all
And everything's the same,
Your pain it never leaves the brain

Somewhere you can find the heart to beat this
No one is left behind without good reason
Don't let everything revolve around you
Around you

Somewhere, or nowhere at all
You struggle until you fall
And nothing is the same
There's no one left to blame but you
And nothing is the same
Your pain it never leaves without

Somewhere you can find the heart to beat this
No one is left behind without good reason
Don't let everything revolve around you
Around you

Your heart doesn't know anything
On its own it's barely beating

HOLD YOU BACK

Is it what I said when we were arguing
Cause I could take it back and make it good again
Are you not looking for what I am offering
Cause I could give some more until this all blows over

I won't hold you back
I won't stop my heart from breaking
I won't hold you back
I won't stop you from leaving

You've been holding back on to other things
It's the way you act; shows what displeasure brings
You've been looking for another way out
The system works until it all breaks down

Leaving me and all we had
But I won't hold you back

I won't hold you back
I won't stop my heart from breaking
I won't hold you back
I won't stop you from leaving me

CONTROL

If you could push them out,
The words you’ve spoken
Would you still scream and shout
Until you’re broken?
This stupid carousel
Takes us back again
To the place where you
Just never fit in

But it will all fall away

If you'd just lose yourself
Lose yourself
Drop everything
To take control
Give up control

Stop time
When time is lazy
Ignore my voice
Until you’re ready
You’ve condemned yourself
On the wrong train
To the place where you
Can never leave again

But it will all fall away

Come alone
Take control
Leave your sad songs
At home
