1. SIGN OF THE TIMES

This is a sign of the times
Another mountain to climb
The sun burns as hot as the flame in the devil’s eyes
This is a sign of the times
Another mountain to climb
The sun burns as hot as the flame in the devil’s eyes

There’s chaos on the rise
The sky is raining knives
We have mistaken
The toll that is taken on you and I
You and I
You and I
You and I

There’s chaos on the rise
The sky is raining knives
We have mistaken
The toll that is taken on you and I

The oceans have gone dry
Venus is passing by
You and I
You and I
You and I

There’s chaos on the rise
The sky is raining knives
We have mistaken
The toll that is taken on you and I

I gave you what you need
I gave you what you need
You and
You and
You and
I gave what you need

We have mistaken
The toll that is taken on
We have mistaken
The toll that is taken on

I gave you what you need
I gave you what you need
I gave you what you need


2. CHALK OUTLINE

I've been cursed
I've been crossed
I've been beaten by the ones that get me off
I've been cut
I've been opened up
I've been shattered by the ones I thought I loved

You left me here like a chalk outline
On the sidewalk waiting for the rain
To wash away
(Wash away)
You keep coming back to the scene of the crime
But the dead can't speak and there's nothing left to say anyway
All you left behind
Is a chalk outline

I've been cold
In the crypt
But not as the cold as the words across your lips
You'll be sorry baby
Some day
When you reach across the bed where my body used to lay

You left me here like a chalk outline
On the sidewalk waiting for the rain
To wash away
(Wash away)
You keep coming back to the scene of the crime
But the dead can't speak and there's nothing left to say anyway
All you left behind
Is a chalk outline
All you left behind
Is a chalk outline

(All you left behind...)

You left me here like a chalk outline
On the sidewalk waiting for the rain
To wash away
(Wash away)
You keep coming back to the scene of the crime
But the dead can't speak and there's nothing left to say anyway
All you left behind
Is a chalk outline


3. THE HIGH ROAD

I told you I was hurt
Bleeding on the inside
I told you I was lost
In the middle of my life

There’s times I stayed alive for you
There’s times I would’ve died for you
There’s times it didn’t matter at all

Will you help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down
Will you straighten me out
Or make me take the long way around
I took the low road in
I’ll take the high road out
I’ll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can’t live without

Standing in the dark
I can see your shadow
You’re the only light
That’s breaking through the window

There’s times I stayed alive for you
There’s times I would’ve died for you
There’s times it didn’t matter at all

Will you help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down
Will you straighten me out
Or make me take the long way around
I took the low road in
I’ll take the high road out
I’ll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can’t live without

We’ll I’m not gonna give it away
Not gonna let it go, just to wake up someday gone! Gone!
The worst part is looking back
And knowing that I was wrong

Help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down
Will you straighten me out
Or make me take the long way around
I took the low road in
I’ll take the high road out
I’ll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can’t live without

I’ll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can’t live without


4. OPERATE

I know how you’re operating
Only come around when you know that I need it
Cut out my heart and you leave me bleeding
But you’re the only one that brings out the demon

Like pills you make me righteous
Like I can rise above it all
Like pills you leave me lifeless
Shaken in a bathroom stall

Why you wanna do this
Don’t want to see you in my phone
Leave me alone

I know how you’re operating
Only come around when you know that I need it
Cut out my heart and you leave me bleeding
You’re the only one that brings out the demon

You bring it out
You bring it out

Like pills you grab a hold of me
One hit just makes me want you more
Until we’re in a motel room
Locked up behind closed doors

Why you wanna do this
Don’t want to see you in my phone
Leave me alone

I know how you’re operating
Only come around when you know that I need it
Cut out my heart and you leave me bleeding
You’re the only one that brings out the demon

You bring it out
You bring it out

You’re doing it now
You’re doing it now
You’re doing it now

It used to be
You brought out the best in me
Now it seems
You bring out the beast in me

I know how you’re operating
Only come around when you know that I need it
Cut out my heart and you leave me bleeding
You are the only one that brings out the demon

You bring it out
(You bring it out)
You bring it out
(You bring it out)
You bring it out
(You bring it out)


5. ANONYMOUS

In my mind worlds collide
Something inside me is gone
Still I keeping going on
In my mind oceans divide
I don’t know where I belong
But still I keep holding on and on

I get by in a world with no conscience
By shutting it out and being anonymous
And the problem is you’re just like me
We get by in a world with no conscience
By shutting it out and being anonymous
Hello, hello, hello

In my mind worlds collide
Something inside me is gone
Still I keep going on
In my mind oceans divide
I don’t know where I belong
But still I keep holding on and on

I get by in a world with no conscience
By shutting it out and being anonymous
And the problem is you’re just like me
We get by in a world with no conscience
By shutting it out and being anonymous
Hello, hello, hello

Anonymous
(hello, hello, hello)
Is there anybody out there
(hello, hello, hello)

I get by in a world with no conscience
I try and I try but I am anonymous
And the problem is you’re just like me
Just like me

I get by in a world with no conscience
By shutting it out and being anonymous
And the problem is you’re just like me (just like me)
We get by in a world with no conscience
By shutting it out and being anonymous

(Hello, hello, hello)
We feel so anonymous
(Hello, hello, hello)
We feel so anonymous
(Hello, hello, hello)


6. MISERY LOVES MY COMPAGNY

I am in control
I haven't lost my mind
I am picking up the pieces
Of the past you left behind

I don't need your condescending
Words about me looking lonely
I don't need your arms to hold me
Cause misery is waiting on me

I am not alone
Not beaten down just yet
I am not afraid
Of the voices in my head
Down the darkest road
Something follows me
I am not alone
Cause misery loves my company
Misery loves my company

Leave me in the cold
You better run away
I'm gonna dig a hole
And bury all the memories we've made

I don't need your condescending
Words about me looking lonely
I don't need your arms to hold me
Cause misery is waiting on me

I am not alone
Not beaten down just yet
I am not afraid
Of the voices in my head
Down the darkest road
Something follows me
I am not alone
Cause misery loves my company
Misery loves my company

I am not alone
Not beaten down just yet
I am not afraid

Of the voices in my head
Down the darkest road
Something follows me
I am not alone
Cause misery loves my company
Misery loves my company


7. GIVE IN TO ME

She always takes it with a heart of stone
‘Cause all she does is throw it back at me
I’ve spent a lifetime looking for someone

Don’t try to understand me
Simply do the things I say

Love is a feeling
Give it when I want it
‘Cause I’m on fire
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Talk to me woman
Give in to me
Give in to me

You always knew just how to make me cry
And never did I ask you questions why
It seems you get your kicks from hurting me

Don’t try to understand me
Because your words just are not enough

Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Taken me higher
Love is a woman
Well I don’t wanna hear it
Give in to me
Give in to me

You and your friends are laughing at me now
But it’s ok
It’s ok

You won’t be laughing girl when I’m not around
I’ll be ok
I’m gonna find some peace of mind

(Give in to me)
(Give in to me)

Love is a feeling
Give it when I want it
‘Cause I’m on fire
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Talk to me woman
Give in to me
Give in to me

Love is a feeling
its taken me higher
Give it when I want it
‘Cause I’m on fire
Talk to me woman
Give it when I want it
Give in to me
Give in to me


8. HAPPINESS

I reach out when I have a confession
I reach out in desperation
I reach out when no one is listening
So I go looking for the next best thing

Happiness straight from the bottle
When real life’s too hard to swallow
Happiness straight from the bottle
When real life’s too hard to swallow

I feel them judging on me for their own pleasure
If they really knew they’d know better
That I’m the one who caves under pressure
When desperate times call for desperate measures

Happiness straight from the bottle
When real life’s too hard to swallow
Happiness straight from the bottle
When real life’s too hard to swallow

I know there’s got to be some peace in me
But I can’t find it
I get so sick of looking

Happiness straight from the bottle
When real life’s too hard to swallow
Happiness straight from the bottle
When real life’s too hard to swallow

Too hard to swallow


9. GIVE ME A REASON

Feed on me
You know I’m never far
Feed off me
Like a vulture on a deer hit by a car
I can only do so much
And of course it’s never enough
I don’t think that you see
Exactly what you’re doing to me

Don’t speak
Don’t speak

Give me a reason to turn and run
Give me a reason to burn this house down
Give me a reason I wish you would
I wish you would
Wish you would

Give me a reason for disaster
And I’ll be happy ever after
Give me a reason I wish you would
I wish you would
Wish you would

So you've tried your best
To get out of this mess
But that’s just a joke
You’ve never awoke
To the sound of a mother screaming at night

Don’t speak
Don’t speak

Give me a reason to turn and run
Give me a reason to burn this house down
Give me a reason I wish you would
I wish you would
Wish you would

Give me a reason for disaster
And I’ll be happy ever after
Give me a reason I wish you would
I'd wish you would
Wish you would

I wish you would
Wish you would
Wish you would
Wish you would
Wish you would

Give me a reason to turn and run
Give me a reason to burn this house down
Give me a reason I wish you would
I wish you would
Wish you would

Give me a reason for disaster
And I’ll be happy ever after
Give me a reason to turn and run
I wish you would
I wish you would


10. TIME THAT REMAINS

Don’t do as I have done
Win where I have lost
Have where I have none
Don’t let your demons drive
They’ll just steer you wrong
You won’t get out alive

Because you can’t unlive the pain
You can’t rewind to yesterday
You might never find your place
In the time that remains
So if tomorrow never comes
From living fast and dying young
I hope the best is yet to come
In the time that remains for you

Don’t get me wrong
The mistakes I’ve made along the way
Made me who I am today
The time is gonna come
You will wake up and realize
Just how fast your life goes by

Because you can’t unlive the pain
You can’t rewind to yesterday
You might never find your place
In the time that remains
So if tomorrow never comes
From living fast and dying young
I hope the best is yet to come
In the time that remains for you

Because you can’t unlive the pain
You can’t rewind to yesterday
You might never find your place
In the time that remains
So if tomorrow never comes
From living fast and dying young
I hope the best is yet to come
In the time that remains for you

The time that remains for you
For you
The time that remains
The time that remains


11. EXPECTATIONS

Baby, innocent
Is one day gonna be decadent
Prom Queen, Miss America
In the backseat in a pair of cuffs
Sixteen, little runaway
From the Five-O and you got away
From a small town with no scene
Looking for a shot on the big screen

Expectations
Go to hell
Expectations
Go to hell

Not so innocent
On the street hustling
Never be Miss America
In the backseat of a Celica
Crashing with a deadbeat
Living large on a love seat
In a small town, no scene
Turns out it was nothing but a pipe dream

Expectations
Go to hell
Expectations
Go to hell

Rich girl, wannabe
Bought a quick pick for the lottery
Watching TV with her boyfriend
Fell asleep, left the ticket on the nightstand
He stayed awake to see the ball drop
Turned it way down, she never woke up
Grabbed the keys to her car in the back lot
Threw a shot of Jack back, left with the jackpot

Expectations
Go to hell
Prom Queen, Miss America
In the backseat in a pair of cuffs

Expectations
Go to hell
Never be Miss America
In the backseat in a pair of cuffs


12. BROKEN GLASS

All we are is broken glass
Thrown to the floor we were never meant to last
And all we are are empty shells
Try to pick us up you’re gonna cut yourself

We march the streets at night
Looking for a thrill, looking for a fight
It was the first day of the rest of our lives
We work fast, never gonna die
Riding up the highway, forty-five
We didn’t know it couldn’t go on forever

All we are is broken glass
Thrown to the floor we were never meant to last
And all we are are empty shells
Try to pick us up you’re gonna cut yourself

We fought to rule the world
Not knowing just how fragile we really were
Like it was the first day of the rest of our lives
Then the bricks began to fall
And we can see the cracks along the wall
We didn’t know it couldn’t go on forever

All we are is broken glass
Thrown to the floor we were never meant to last
And all we are are empty shells
Try to pick us up you’re gonna cut yourself

We believe that we can go on forever
We believe that we can go on forever
Forever

All we are is broken glass
Thrown to the floor we were never meant to last
And all we are are empty shells
Try to pick us up you’re gonna cut yourself

You cut yourself
You’re gonna cut yourself
You’re gonna cut yourself


13. UNBREAKABLE HEART

Hijacked when you weren’t looking
Behind your back people are talking
Using words that cut you down to size
You want to fight back
It’s building inside you
Holding you up
Taking you hostage
Yeah, it’s worth fighting for

They’ll try to take your pride
Try to take your soul
They’ll try to take all the control
They’ll look you in the eyes
Fill you full of lies
Believe me they’re gonna try
So when you’re feeling crazy
And things fall apart
Listen to your head
Remember who you are

You’re the one
You’re the unbreakable heart
You’re the one
You’re the unbreakable heart
You’re the one
You’re the one

Hijacked when you weren’t looking
Behind your back people are talking
Using words that cut you down to size
You want to fight back
You’re out in the open
You’re under attack
But your spirit’s not broken
You know it’s worth fighting for

They’ll try to take your pride
Try to take your soul
They’ll try to take all the control
They’ll look you in the eyes
Fill you full of lies
Believe me they’re gonna try
So when you’re feeling crazy
And things fall apart
Listen to your head
Remember who you are

You’re the one
You’re the unbreakable heart
You’re the one
You’re the unbreakable heart
You’re the one
You’re the one

Don’t look them in the eyes
Believe me they’re gonna try
To fill you up with lies

They’ll try to take your pride
Try to take your soul
(You’re the one, you’re the one)
They’ll look you in the eyes
Fill you full of lies

You’re the one
You’re the unbreakable heart
You’re the one
You’re the unbreakable heart
You’re the one
You’re the one
