[Verse 1] Oh, did I say something wrong Oh, did I walk out of step To you, do I still belong Do I have to be scared Oh, I'm not saying I know, it's all feeling unclear We all like control, I surrender to you, dear
[Chorus] You're hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself just to hurt me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to dance, we had our own theme You're hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself just to hurt me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to dance, we used to believe
[Verse 2] There's something I should've known Was I acting too proud Oh, in my weakness, did I somehow get too loud Oh, can I get you alone Oh, let me fall at your feet Why must I be compelled to admit defeat
[Chorus] You're hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself just to hurt me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to dance, we were our own scene Hurting yourself, nothing to tell Your secret is well and safe with me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to crash, we used to believe
[Bridge] I hear the voices calling, hear the voices calling All around my head, all around my head Hear the voices calling, oh, again they're calling All around my head, have I lost my friend Is this what we've become? One last setting sun I'll give, but I can't give up, I'll live, not long enough To stop these voices calling, stop the voices calling All around my head, as if you never left
[Chorus] You're hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself just to hurt me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to dance, we had our own scene Hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself 'cause you hurt me We used to laugh, we used to dream We used to dance, we used to believe
[Outro] Oh-oh, whoa Yeah

React, Respond
[Verse 1] I see you worried and hurried As if addressing the jury Oh, you are innocent, you're proving innocent You are hurting and it's so magnificent Don't let the sky hook beat you to submission Maybe it's the price of price of our admission Ain't no fucking roses to our condition Turn this anger into nuclear fission, yeah, baby, baby
[Pre-Chorus] Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus] Don't react, respond Don't react, respond When what you get is what you don't want Don't react, respond
[Verse 2] Are we at war with each other Are you at war with yourself We could be fighting together Instead of fighting ourselves Start the rebuttal, all part of the game Yes, what makes us different and what makes us the same Ah, the incandescence that is your essence The unexpected embrace, embrace the unexpected There's no book on this life, there's no use as directed The best part I know was when we were connected
[Pre-Chorus] Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus] Don't react, respond Don't react, respond When what you get is what you don't want Don't react
[Bridge] As the light gets brighter as it grows The darkness, it recedes It's better to give, give than to deceive Questions dissolve the more you believe, ah
[Chorus] Don't react, respond Don't react, respond When you get what you don't want Don't react, respond Don't react, respond Don't react, respond When you get what you don't want Don't react, respond
[Outro] Hahahahahahaha

Wreckage
[Verse 1] Visited by thought, another darkened day How you are like the sun hiding somewhere beyond the rain I'm needing for the light, stormy is the grey Rivers overflowing, drowning all our yesterdays
[Pre-Chorus 1] Visited by thoughts on another darkened week How even every winner hits a losing streak The mistakes we all make and perfectly repeat Chains are made by DNA refusing, refusing to release
[Verse 2] Combing through the wreckage, pouring through the sand Surrounded by the remnants, what we could and couldn't have Raking through the ashes falling through my hands Charcoal on the faces in the burned up photographs
[Pre-Chorus 2] Oh, visited by thoughts and this I got to say If you're feeling the leaving, I can't make you stay I've only ever wanted for it not to be this way But you're now like the water and the water will find its way
[Chorus] Combing through the wreckage Holding out, holding on Combing through the wreckage Combing through the wreckage
[Pre-Chorus 3] Oh, visited by thoughts and not just in the night That I no longer give a fuck who is wrong and who's right This game of winner takes all and all means nothing left Spoils go the victor and the other left for dead
[Chorus] Uh-huh, combing through the wreckage Holding out, holding on Combing through the wreckage
[Bridge] Combing through the wreckage Holding out, holding on Holding out Holding you, holding on
[Outro] (Combing through the wreckage) Combing through the wreckage (Falling through the wreckage) Falling through the wreckage (Crawling through the wreckage) Holding out (Combing through the wreckage) Holding on (Combing through the wreckage) Oh (Falling through the wreckage) Falling through the wreckage (Crawling through the wreckage) Crawling through the wreckage (Combing through the wreckage) Combing through the wreckage (Combing through the wreckage) Combing through the wreckage (Combing through the wreckage)

Dark Matter
[Verse 1] Steal the lights from our eyes, take my blood from my heart We're in all of this dark matter Take the breaths from my chest, take the thoughts from my mind We're losin' time, dark matter
[Pre-Chorus] Denounce the demagogues King diamonds to discard Deploy the dialogue Your word against the law
[Chorus] It's strange these days When everybody else pays for someone else's mistake This blame takes shape Still everybody else pays for someone else's mistake
[Verse 2] You're runnin' away, we're pullin' apart In all of this dark matter I once heard a sin, and it stuck in my head Arrested the press, no one knows what happened next
[Pre-Chorus] Renounce the demigods King diamonds to discard Deploy the dialogue Your word against the law
[Chorus] It's strange these days When everybody else pays for someone else's mistake This blame takes shape Still everybody else pays for someone else's mistake!
[Bridge] No tolerance for intolerance so I've No patience left for impatience no more No love lost for lost loves No sorrow for the unaccountable
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus] Oh! It's strange these days When everybody else pays for someone else's mistake! This blame takes shape Still everybody else pays for someone else's mistake!

Won’t Tell
[Verse 1] Her eyes were soft and sympathized A vision so uncompromised floated in As she pulled the book up off the shelf Her dressing gown and nothing else but a secret grin And I always had one question Free of all suggestion Do I say or keep it in
[Chorus] You can find me here Waiting for your message to come Can you heal? Can you feel The chains in my heart Waiting for a message to come Can you heal? Can you feel The change in my heart
[Post-Chorus] In my heart
[Verse 2] She laid the book upon the desk Opened to the page I asked, "Could that be the one " As she smiled and played a minor chord In a key I never heard before, one song and it was done
[Chorus] You can find me here Waiting for your message to come Can you heal? Can you feel The chains in my heart Waiting for a message to come Can you heal? Can you feel The change in my heart
[Bridge] Oh, I'd open the door, I'd let you in I would open it if you came But if it's not you knocking It's staying closed Oh, I'd open the door, shed all my skin Allow for a bit of grace For in my dream you told Me to let the longing go Oh, and the promise I still hold Won't tell a soul
[Outro] Can you feel Can you heal Can you feel The change in my heart Can you feel Can you heal Can you feel Can you heal

Upper Hand
[Verse 1] The distance to the end Is closer now than it's ever been Road we traveled far All the lights and sights we saw No room left on the pages We filled 'em up and painted some Though the book it may never be read Oh, by anyone, oh, anyone but me
[Chorus] And I hope the people are smiling And I hope that today and every day is grand Oh, I apologize, so sorry 'bout the timing But you know, something that I never had was the upper hand
[Verse 2] Lonely ship on the horizon Silhouette fading out Bright lights make for dark shadows The lines once defined getting blurry now
[Chorus] And I hope the people are smiling Oh, how I always wanted to be like one of them Oh, I apologize, so sorry 'bout the timing Oh, but you know, something that I never had was the upper hand
[Post-Chorus] Upper hand
[Outro] Help to carry me home Help to carry me home Oh, help to carry me home, eh Carry me Carry me home Carry me home Just need a few of you A few of you Oh, maybe just the two of you Two of you

Waiting for Stevie
[Part I]
[Chorus 1] You can be loved by everyone And not feel, not feel love You can be told by everyone And not hear a word from above
[Verse 1] Swallowed up by the sound cutting holes in the clouds Finds herself in the song, hears her own voice rising
[Chorus 2] You can be loved by everyone And still not feel, not feel love You can relate, but still can't stop Or conquer the fear you are what you're not Would have to take an act of faith To find relief and escape the blame
[Verse 2] Words follow her down, needs to shake 'em off now, now This godforsaken town don't deserve her anyhow
[Bridge] Callin' on a messenger Awaitin' on a face (Ah-ah-ah) That she could trust, a messenger For her love, her love
[Chorus 3] Oh, you can be loved by everyone And not feel, feel love You can be told to not give up And still not hear a word from above You can't take or give what you got Dissolve the fear you are what you're not, no You can be loved by everyone And not feel, feel love
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro] You can be loved You, you can be loved You, you can be loved You, you can be loved You
[Part II]

[Bridge] Was cleared for, for liftoff Aborted my take off Living in the shadows, crossing my fingers A date with the gallows and a reprieve not looking likely
[Outro] You got me running, you got me running You got me running, you got me running All clear for liftoff, I wanna take off I got my head up, straight down the tunnel! You are the tunnel! I wanna see you! Now watch me walk off, so see you fuck off! Ah!

Got to Give
[Verse 1] Stormy seas behind your eyes The dark moon is setting on your cheap disguise Whoever said love is a compromise Knew you
[Verse 2] Castle falling, turning into sand The high tide is crumbling, on the rocks we sit Never could believe a single word they said About you
[Pre-Chorus] And there I am, just picking up the parts A broken engine busted, lifted up on blocks Should've made the turns when the road got rough But who knew
[Chorus] I'll be the last one standing I'll be the first to forgive, yeah Give it away empty-handed Breaks in my heart 'til something gives
[Verse 3] I saw the doctor, said I'm falling apart This heartbreak connection, all the blood dried up Said he could've fixed it, had to open me up Just like you
[Pre-Chorus] And I can't stand it, 'cause it's no way to live The pain of this every day has got to give Give me liberty or give me death Over you
[Chorus] I'll be the last one standing I'll be the first to forgive, yeah Give it away empty-handed Breaks in my heart 'til something gives
[Bridge] Getting to the point where I can't breathe Getting to the point got nothing to sing Getting to the point where life don't Mean a thing, let's get to the point We all are heard and seen Oh, let's get to the point, we can We can believe that we are better Together, you and me, yeah Can take on anyone, anyone If you can see
[Outro] Something's got to give Got to give Something's, something's got to give, yeah Something's got to give, yeah Something's got to give Got to give

Setting Sun
[Verse 1] The cast was made to reset broken bones But there's no such thing to fix a love gone wrong Keep knocking the door 'cause I know someone's there I wait on the porch hoping someday, I'll be let in They say in the end everything will be okay If it's not okay, well then, it ain't the end
[Chorus] Had dreams to you I would belong Had the dream you would stay with me till kingdom come Turns out forever has come and gone Am I the only one hanging on
[Verse 2] Hand in hand, yeah, we took it on You answered my prayers, now from my knees, I can't get up Lost patience with time, yeah, hurry up your patience tonight I'd like some of yours, in trade, can take all of mine
[Chorus] I dreamt to you I would belong Held the dream you would stay with me till kingdom come Turns out it was more like hit-and-run Am I the only one hanging on Whoa, am I the only one hanging on
[Bridge] If you could see what I see now You'd find a way to stay somehow Oh, if you could see, yeah, what I see now You'd make your way to stay somehow
[Outro] May your days be long till kingdom come May our days be long before kingdom come May our days be long until kingdom come We can become one last setting sun Am I the only one hanging on We could become one last setting sun Or be the sun at the break of dawn Let us not fade Let us not fade
