Run away Run away Escape the misery and pain Get away Get away There's nothing left here to be gained Leave it all behind Erase it from your mind Leave it all behind Erase it from your mind Give it up Give it up There's nothing left here to be won Let it go Let it go You did your best, what's done is done Leave it all behind Erase it from your mind Leave it all behind Erase it from your mind Leave it all behind Erase it from your mind Leave it all behind Erase it from your mind

Just one drink Just one more Drink until you hit the floor Drink til the room spins clockwise How long until you realize? Pain has gills It breathes underwater Pain has gills It swims in your veins Drink all you want You'll never drown it Use all you want It won't go away Take your pills On your tongue Inhale amnesia into your lungs Pierce your skin Float on air Come back to Earth Your pain's still there Pain has gills It breathes underwater Pain has gills It swims in your veins Drink all you want You'll never drown it Use all you want It won't go away Pain has gills It breathes underwater Pain has gills It swims in your veins Drink all you want You'll never drown it Use all you want It won't go away

The Lesson 02:54
Flying blind in a storm No blanket to keep me warm Pushing and pulling Wanting and needing Trying to stop the internal bleeding Where do I go now? Where do I turn? This is a lesson I don't want to learn Hitting a thick brick wall Fully prepared to risk it all Hoping for miracles Wishing for help Coming out swinging But hurting myself Where do I go now? Where do I turn? This is a lesson I don't want to learn Happiness seems so far away So far away So far away Should I act or should I wait? Should I wait? Should I wait? I'm tired as hell but I can't sleep I can't sleep I can't sleep I got myself in way too deep Where do I go now? Where do I turn? This is a lesson I don't want to learn Where do I go now? Where do I turn? This is a lesson I don't want to learn

Rachel talks to me in strange ways She tells me that this ballet dance is worth all the pain Rachel comes and goes, but she's never far away She tells me to be patient, and wait for a change She holds my hand while I'm out here twisting on a line She keeps my faith in love alive one day at a time But how long will I have to wait... For my Broken Ballerina? Rachel reaches out for me when I'm slipping away She says the Ballerina's locked herself inside a cage Rachel begs me, "Hold on for one more day" To help the Dancer break her chains And find her way back to the stage She holds my hand but I'm still dangling on this line She keeps my faith in love alive one minute at a time But how long will I have to wait... For my Broken Ballerina? Rachel wants the Dancer to spread her wings and fly She longs to see her echappe into a better life Rachel's own wings won't let her come down from the sky So she depends on me to help the Dancer see the light She holds my hand But I can stand and I'm ready for this fight And I will keep my faith in love burning day and night And I don't care how long it takes Because the love is worth the wait When one day she will grand jete... My Broken Ballerina

What does electricity taste like? How does the sound of silence sound? How do you know when you're comfortably numb? How much loneliness can emptiness surround? I'm not giving up 'Cause I'm not up to snuff I won't be the one to turn the lights out I won't waste this life that I've been handed I won't be the one to turn the lights out I won't take another day for granted What does blind faith look like? Can you be honest with yourself? What goes through your head when you clear your mind? Can you exercise your mental health? I'm not giving up 'Cause I'm not up to snuff I won't be the one to turn the lights out I won't waste this life that I've been handed I won't be the one to turn the lights out I won't take another day for granted What would you gain if you lost everything? Can you be completely incomplete? What does electricity taste like? Can you hear the smell of victory? I'm not giving up 'Cause I'm not up to snuff I won't be the one to turn the lights out I won't waste this life that I've been handed I won't be the one to turn the lights out I won't take another day for granted

Stay Still 04:02
I wish I could be there for you I wish I could take your pain and make it go away But it's not that easy to do Things are so hard right now There is no other way My only advice for you The only thing we can do Is stay still Don't make a sound Stay still Hide underground until The world can understand I know this is not what we planned But for now we need to stay still I know it's getting harder for you I know you want to run and scream But believe me the best thing to do The best thing to do Is stay still Don't make a sound Stay still Hide underground until The world can understand I know this is not what we planned Stay still Don't make a sound Stay still Hide underground until The world can understand I know this is not what we planned But for now we need to stay still

Minor disturbance A ripple effect You start to lose your grip Wonder what's next Lose your focus Lose your sight Find yourself waking up In the middle of the night Minor disturbance Concentration breaks You start to realize Just how much it takes Try to stay loose But hold on tight It's gonna take more than you've got To make this right Looking inside my head I reach for something to make the pain make sense I look for reasons, I look for answers But all I find are questions But there is one thing I know I will not be broken Minor disturbance Secrets revealed Illusion is shattered Have to learn how to deal Inching forward Falling behind Losing momentum Losing your mind

I feel summer as I'm standing in the winter I feel autumn as I'm standing in the spring I let go of the past, but it comes back to haunt me I wish I could let go of everything Fast forward Rewind Save money Buy time Downward spiral Uphill climb Wasted sunshine How can a year go by when time stands still? How can you have the power but not the will? How can I move forward looking back? How can the heartless feel a heart attack? Fast forward Rewind Save money Buy time Downward spiral Uphill climb Wasted sunshine Blink once, seasons change Blink twice, a year goes by Go to sleep, wake up And life is behind you All we have is this moment Here and now Fast forward Rewind Save money Buy time Downward spiral Uphill climb Wasted sunshine

A Quiet Calm 02:27
Life has dealt me yet another blow I should be crying my eyes out I should be down on my knees But I'm not A quiet calm has come over me A quiet calm has come over me I should be abandoning hope I should be screaming my lungs out I should be begging, "God, please." But I'm not A quiet calm has come over me A quiet calm has come over me This is not the end of my life Tomorrow I will wake up and I'll still be here This is not the moment when things go black This is the moment when everything becomes clear I should be losing control I should be tearing my heart out I should be sick with disease But I'm not A quiet calm has come over me A quiet calm has come over me A quiet calm has come over me
