1.Without Walls

This is who we are! These are the roads we paved, the strength
we found & the mistakes we made along the way. This is who we
are! These are the roads we paved, the strength we found & the
mistakes we made along the way. This is who we are! These are
the roads we paved, the strength we found & the mistakes we made
along the way. This is who we are! These are the roads we paved
and now I've had enough of your judgement. You pass it so
easily. If you think that I take it to heart now you see this is
my design. You don't know the cost. So I'll keep my faith & you
can stay lost. Who is with me!? We have the strength to shed
light. And this is the moment suspended in time. No limits, no
boundaries at all. Just when you think we conform to a scene we
break down the wall!


2.Alive In The Lights

From the beginning I knew I was different. I embraced it, but
you didn't. Your normal life, 9-5, it's just not for me. I need
to feel alive!

I won't fall like the rest of them, they've come & gone with the
wind. I hear the doubt in the back of your mind but still I'll
see this through to the end.

Maybe if you paid more attention, asked more questions &
actually listened you would see this is not just a dream, but a
path I've chosen that means everything to me.

Don't you see the minds that have changed? Do you see the lives
that have been saved? Don't you care to see the difference I've
made?

Listen closely, the highways call my name. Don't you see this is
my everything? It may not seem right to you & you might not
approve but it's real. This is the only thing that makes me
feel.

What more do I have to do to finally prove myself to you? What
is it that you need to see to finally believe this is who I'm
supposed to be?

Most days I feel like your punching bag, but I will never let it
hold me back. I just wish for once you knew how it felt to be
brought down lower than everything else.

Don't you care to see the difference I've made? Listen closely,
the highways call my name. Don't you see this is my everything?
It may not seem right to you & you might not approve but it's
real. This is the only thing that makes me feel. This is who I
am! This is my life. I come alive in the lights! I come alive in
the lights.

What will be written on your tombstone? You sat behind a desk.
You had no backbone. What will be written on your tombstone? You
sold your soul, grew old alone. Would you prefer that I become a
lifeless, hollow shell such as yourself? Would you prefer that I
give up my dreams & lose all hope just like everyone else?

Don't you see the lives that have been saved? Listen closely,
the highways call my name. Don't you see this is my everything?
It may not seem right to you & you might not approve but it's
real. This is the only thing that makes me feel.


3.Prove Me Right

We put our lives in the hands of the ones that claimed they
truly cared.
Come to find it's all just a lie and when we needed them no one
was there.

I swear I'm not bitter. I just see them for what they are;
Money hungry cowards sucking the blood out of artists and
killing the art!
So count out the money you stole from starving artists you
watched pave the way,
But you know just as well as I do, without us you're just an
empty name!

Where were you when they had no faith in us?
Where were you when they shut us out?
It's funny you show up now
And if it fell apart I know that you'd be nowhere to be found.
We did this on our own.
Thanks for nothing!

The ones that kicked me when I was down
Are the same ones that say they need me now.
That's fine, I'll play the game but just know,
I told you so!

I've seen the greed in their eyes
Well I guess I'm nothing but a dollar sign.
I've seen the greed in their eyes
Well I guess I'm nothing but a dollar sign.

Four years gone by, now everything is fine, no thanks to you.
You'll never know, nor do you care about what it took or the
things we've been through.

Where were you when they had no faith in us?
Where were you when they shut us out?
It's funny you show up now
And if it fell apart I know that you'd be nowhere to be found.
We did this on our own.
Thanks for nothing!

Ignorance had me by the throat
From the day I learned how to sing,
But now my eyes are open wide
And this is what I see.

I see the greed in their eyes!
They had me fooled at first because I believed all the lies.
Oh the lies!
I see the greed in their eyes!
They had us fooled at first but we're taking control this time.
We're taking control this time!

Where were you when they had no faith in us?
Where were you when they shut us out?

It's funny you show up now
And if it fell apart I know that you'd be nowhere to be found.
We did this on our own.
Thanks for nothing!
So count your money and I'll count my friends.
We'll see who's richer in the end!


4.Red In Tooth & Claw

It always ends the same. I gave you all my heart just to watch
it get thrown away, thrown away! It takes a toll on my soul
because I'm starting to believe that love's just a game we play.
Is it all just a game?

One day I'll heal but I'll be covered in scars, and I'll never
forget watching it all fall apart when you finally came clean
about the lies & the games that you played from the start. It's
like every second we spent together is always on repeat in the
back of my mind. What was I thinking when I gave you my life?
You knew it would end. You knew this would die!

You'll never find another one like me.

I think I'd give you another chance if you deserved one. I think
I'd have room in my heart but I simply reserved none. I'd let
you beg on your knees for forgiveness at last but you're just a
mistake. Please give me my life back.

You made me so insecure & unsure of everything I thought was
real. I just wish I could rewind & go back to a time when I knew
what it was like to feel. I hope someday someone ruins you the
way you ruined me! I just want you to know how it feels. I want
you to see it's like my heart was made to be broken. Why can't I
let go? Now that it's over I just need you to know

I think I'd give you another chance if you deserved one. I think
I'd have room in my heart but I simply reserved none. I'd let
you beg on your knees for forgiveness at last but you're just a
mistake. Please give me my life! Give me my life back.

They say it's better to have loved than never at all, but I
can't seem to find any good in being thrown at the wall. I'm not
sure if I can stand up from this fall! I lay tossing & turning &
trying to forget. I thought I'd be over you by now. With all you
put me through I'm full of regret. I wish I could just forget
somehow! You'll never find another one like me! I think I'd give
you another chance if you deserved one. I think I'd have room in
my heart but I simply reserved none. I'd let you beg on your
knees for forgiveness at last but you're just a mistake. Please
give me my life back. Please give me my life back! Give me my
life back! Give me my life!


5.Vices

Drowning myself every night
Me versus me has always been my biggest fight
I've been so confused for so long
And the answers always seem so far out of sight
So I fill it up, fill it up one more time
So when everything is wrong at least I still feel right
I'm in the tunnel but I can't see the light

I just want to feel whole again
So I can let you in
I just want to feel whole again
I just want to feel whole
Oh where is my self control?
Where is my self control?

I've been thinking this could be the end of me
Who is this person in the mirror I see?
I have come so far, thought I was so strong
The truth is I've just fed myself a lie for too long
I never thought this would be me

But now I'm on the verge of self destruction
How could this happen to me?
I've never been the type to run from anything, run from anything
So sick and tired of wondering where my morals have gone
My father didn't raise me to become this
Where did I go wrong?

There is not much left of me
I can't feel the ground beneath my feet
There is not much left of me
I let everyone around me down
And now I'm headed to the bottom of the bottle
Just to block out the sound
God I need you now!

I've been thinking this could be the end of me
Who is this person in the mirror I see?
I have come so far, thought I was so strong
The truth is I've just fed myself a lie for too long
This is my vice, this is me weak

I need your love to erase this doubt
I need your hand to pull me out
Sometimes I feel like I will never learn
Because the bottle's always there when I have nowhere else to
turn
Will I ever learn? Will I ever learn?

I take another sip
The dark room that I'm in becomes dimly lit
This can't be all there is

I've been thinking this could be the end of me
Who is this person in the mirror I see?
I have come so far, thought I was so strong
The truth is I've just fed myself a lie for too long
And the only one to blame is me

Who have I become?
This is my desperate shout
Pull me out!
Pull me out!
God I need you now!


6.Legacy

Chances to move mountains are few & far between, but only unseen
by those who choose them to be. Live every day like it's your
last chance to be heard & seen, because the good die young & the
great change the course of history.

Stop blending in & start speaking out! You'll never know what
you can do if you don't try now. Lift up your eyes discouraged
one. Keep moving forward until your battles have been won.

They say you were created to do great things, but words only
come to life when you believe. Stop blending in. Start speaking
out! Don't miss your opportunity.

Do you have the courage to follow your heart? Your life could be
over before you ever had a chance to start. Take what you can
get while you can get it & don't let anybody stand in your way.
If you've got what it takes, make them believe it. They need to
hear you from a mile away!

They say you were created to do great things, but words only
come to life when you believe. Stop blending in. Start speaking
out! Don't miss your opportunity.

Lift up your eyes discouraged one. When you feel like giving up,
when they say it can't be done it's up to you to show them why
they're wrong.

Lift up your eyes discouraged one. When you feel like giving up,
when they say it can't be done it's up to you to show them why
they're wrong.

Lift up your eyes discouraged one. When you feel like giving up,

What you do is up to you. Follow your heart & you will never
lose. They say you were created to do great things, but words
only come to life when you believe!

You were created to do great things, but words only come to life
when you believe. Stop blending in. Start speaking out! Don't
miss your opportunity.

Reach for the sky! Nothing's impossible when you realize the
strength is inside. Embrace the struggle when it's all you can
see. Words only come to life when you believe.


7.Miles Away(feat. Kellin Quinn)

I pack my bags & say goodbye to my wife for what seems like the
millionth time. They said it gets easier, but they lied. She
looks at me & says 'really baby, I will be just fine,' but then
she looks away so I don't have to see her cry. And that is when
I ask myself;

how am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I
feel so alone, cause I left my heart at home. She needs me, but
I know they need me too. So God, give me the strength to do what
you created me to do.

Really I'm so thankful for the people I meet, the places I've
been & the things I've seen, but when she's not here it doesn't
feel like I'm living my dream. I know they say that no one is
perfect, but I swear she's perfect for me and that makes it so
much harder to leave.

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I
feel so alone, cause I left my heart at home. She needs me, but
I know they need me too. So God, give me the strength to do what
you created me to do.

If you miss me, I'm just a phone call away. Please be strong, be
strong for me. I need you to show me how to change the inside of
me. For my heart, for their sake. Be strong, be strong for me!

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I
feel so alone, so alone!

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I
feel so alone, cause I left my heart at home. She needs me, but
I know they need me too. So God, give me the strength to do what
you created me to do.


8.Jezebel

She's on the prowl. She wants it all & she'll stop at nothing!
Everyone knows she's well aware of the fact that her self
respect was long lost on her search for something. First in line
to give it up to the guy at the bar buying two drinks at a time.
One track mind, it's disgusting that she thinks she's got it all
figured out, but what she doesn't know is that to us she's just
another one of them. Girls like you are a dime a dozen.

Just leave, just leave! We're all better off without your
disease, disease! Take your pick from the willing but you'll
never get me. It's obvious the stage is all that you see, so
take your pick from the willing but you'll never get me.

Just go!

The innocent look on her face is all fake. She's worn out & worn
down from all the one night stands, never any interest in a real
man or a love that will last.

Oh what a waste! What a waste of a beautiful face. Was it the
way she was raised or just the terrible choices she's chosen to
make?

Every night it's all the same. She steals another heart so she
can drop another name. Oh what a shame! You're all the same.
You're all the same!

All dressed up in purple & pink, she'll do whatever it takes to
get to VIP. She thinks everyone wants to see her down on her
knees, but what she doesn't know is everyone just wants her to
leave!

Just leave, just leave! We're all better off without your
disease, disease! Take your pick from the willing but you'll
never get me. It's obvious the stage is all that you see, so
take your pick from the willing but you'll never get me.

I can feel her staring at me from across the room. She's got the
worst of intentions & she smells like trouble & cheap perfume.

She's got one thing on her mind, her target locked in sight. She
never gets denied but tonight she'll be surprised. She knows
every word to every song I write so let's have a sing-a-long.
Hello, hello, hello & goodbye!

One track mind, you wanna check me off the list? Ya right! The
stage is all you see, so take your pick from the willing but
you'll never get me!


9.Losing Sight

Wake me up, wake me up! I can't remember when enough was enough.
I used to be so in love with this life I live before it was
corrupt.

Take me back to the me that wanted this more than anything, the
me that said I would give up everything just to live one night
in the life I'm questioning.

Where is the inspiration I need? How could I hate this? I used
to crave this! I tell my stories as a form of release. I need
them just as much as they need me.

I always said I'd never waste a single second of this, but
sometimes I find myself slipping through the cracks. How could I
be such a hypocrite?

I think about it all so far; what we've been through, who we
were, who we are. These days the weight of the world is on my
shoulders. I never thought it would be this hard.

They come to me to show them how they're supposed to be. I don't
want to let them down. Lord give me the answers they seek, The
strength to give to the weak. Give me the desire to plant the
seed. This is so much bigger than me. I think I'm in over my
head.

Jet lagged & restless & always beat down. The rooms are full but
I'm always alone. This load is too much to carry on my own.

I always said I'd never waste a single second of this, but
sometimes I find myself slipping through the cracks. How could I
be such a hypocrite? We hold their hearts in the palms of our
hands. I don't want to take it for granted. I don't want to
waste the gift that I've been handed.

I dig deep for what I know I need; to keep pushing forward, to
keep moving! But they expect so much from me. I'm just a person,
a human being. I feel dead inside. So burnt out from all I've
seen. Maybe I've gone blind from always being in the spotlight.

I always said I'd never waste a single second of this, but
sometimes I find myself slipping through the cracks. How could I
be such a hypocrite? We hold their hearts in the palms of our
hands. I don't want to take it for granted. I don't want to
waste the gift that I've been handed.

Why does the fire in my heart grow dimmer with each passing day?
Where is my passion? Where is my flame?


10.Generation: Hate

You sit at home feeling so strong from behind that screen, but
honestly do you think those words you're typing are gonna change
anything? Could it be this is just an escape from all your
insecurities? Could it be you're deepest secret is you wish that
you were me?

Tell me what is it with this love to hate? I think I'm starting
to lose all my faith. This isn't how it's supposed to be!

You see everything in black & white. Who are you to tell me
what's wrong or right? What could I possibly learn from someone
like you? You don't know the first thing about my life!

Say what you will. You know it all or at least you think you do.
Waste all your days complaining. You think we care but everyone
knows that you don't have a clue, so say what you will but you
wouldn't last a day in my shoes! Waste all your days
complaining. You think we care but this is a war you will always
lose.

So go & disregard the blood, sweat & tears we shed for you, but
who will have the upper hand when this is over & I've done
everything you wished you could do.

Stop wasting my time, so full of things to say when you feel
safe. Maybe I'll listen to you whine the day you wanna say it to
my face.

Bring it on!

So many mouths that love to run, but I just laugh because I've
been confronted by none.

Say what you will. You know it all or at least you think you do.
Waste all your days complaining. You think we care but everyone
knows that you don't have a clue, so say what you will but you
wouldn't last a day in my shoes! Waste all your days
complaining. You think we care but this is a war you will always
lose.

Say what you will. You know it all or at least you think you do.
Waste all your days complaining. You think we care but everyone
knows that you don't have a clue, so say what you will but you
wouldn't last a day in my shoes! Waste all your days
complaining. You think we care but this is a war you will always
lose!

I'm calling out my generation. This is an alarm! Can you hear it
now? It seems like 'caring' is just a phase we're over now.

I'm calling out my generation. You should be ashamed cause
you're the ones to blame. This isn't how it's supposed to be.


11.Vessels
