My independence is calling my name A doubtful voice provides my faith My independence only has a taste An unsure choice I can't embrace You'd have to carve me, Carve me from stone Right to the bone or We'll end up alone Playing the role Of someone in control Why do I rush to slow down Why do I rush to slow down everything Why do I rush to slow down Why do I rush to slow down everything Will the dice ever roll When will I ever know Will the plot ever twist Or will I still resist I've been playing the part of a lost realist My indepednce is turning the page Tomorrow comes we start to fade My independence only complicates It's not enough to meet half way You'll have to carve me Carve me from stone Right to the bone Or we'll end up alone Playing the role Of someone in control Why do I rush to slow down Why do I rush to slow down everything Why do I rush to slow down Why do I rush to slow down everything Will the dice ever roll When will I ever know Will the plot ever twist Or will I still resist I've been playing the part of a lost realist I only keep what I give away I only keep what I give away Why do I rush to slow down Why do I rush to slow down everything Why do I rush to slow down Why do I rush to slow down everything With the dice ever roll When will I ever know Will the plot ever twist Or will I still resist I've been playing the part of a lost realist Why do I rush to slow down Why do I rush to slow down everything Why do I rush to slow down
I found a line and then it grew I found myself still thinking of you I felt so empty and now I’m fine But it's still burning when will you be mine
Too much of the same stories in our lives I think it’s time to change, don't you? (I think it’s time for us to walk away from here) Stories in our lives, we keep them all inside
Now look at me still in your mind Our memories so intertwined Well you broke through and found your way And so did I no need to stay
Do you remember lying on the beach so late at night Do you remember running through the sprinklers that night Do you remember all the songs that I have wrote for you I remember the way you made me feel when I was with you That look in your eyes I never thought that this would be untrue
The pressure is building I want to break away Motivation is lacking the point starts to fade I look to the bottom still empty still the same I’m waiting for something to show me the way To the path that I should take, it’s just too real to go ahead and fake Every step that I make Name your price I would give anything I want to start over again What do I want I have nothing to say Whatever it is I want it today Do we choose our own ground Do we choose to stay Well I’ve seen too many throw it away
Do I see just one small chance to be myself to try and make it last Every step that I take

I don't know anything at all and I'm somebody else It could take years to find you, it could years to find myself And I don't need to hear your answer I just need you to see That I think it's time to break down these walls that we throw Am I still breathing have I lost that feeling Am I made of glass cause you see right through me I don't know who I am and you're the only one who sees that I can't ask these questions that cannot be answered today And even if everything goes wrong and we start to fall apart I will understand where you are, I will understand this by myself And I don't need to hear your answer I just need you to feel Like there are no boundaries at all And how far have we come, too far to throw away the past Will you be there waiting for me I have to ask what we are, if I ask today it just won't last So I'll be here waiting for you Will we ever feel this good again – Not today Will we ever feel this real again Not today Will you ever be mine again Not today Will we ever feel this real again Not today
Close my eyes Let the whole thing pass me by There is no time to waste Asking why? I'll run away with you, by my side I'll run away with you, by my side I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride (Asking why?) I think about your face And how I fall into your eyes The out moment I trace around the one that I call mine Time to count more space And beware that your drew the line I don't need you solve this case And I don't need to look behind Close my eyes Let the whole thing pass me by There is no time to waste Asking why? I'll run away with you, By my side I'll run away with you, By my side I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride (Asking why?) Do I except you change, the past I hold inside? With all the words I say Repeating over in my mind Some things you cant erase No matter how hard you try An exit to escape Is all there is left to find Close my eyes Let the whole thing pass me by There is no time to waste Asking why?(Asking why) I'll run away with you, by my side I'll run away with you, by my side I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride Until this echo, echo, echo, echo in my mind Until this echo, echo, echo, echo can subside So I, Close my eyes Let the whole thing pass me by There is no time to waste Asking why? I'll run away with you, by my side I'll run away with you, by my side I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride Until this echo, echo, echo, echo in my mind Until this echo, echo, echo, echo can subside
So what is it about me That you can't give into Forcing myself back Now i can't talk to you Maybe i should realize there a chance that I was never meant to be with you
So just Leave me standing Never make that promise You're aware your feelings aren't for me (don't give it away) Forcing me to believe in something real I cannot hurt you Runaway I won't complain it's all my fault Leading this observed by you
You see me beg and plead It's what I always do I guess I got off track Oh I must be confused Maybe i should realize there a chancce that I was never meant to be with you
[chorus]
Would you care If I was scared Would you care If I was scared I am......for you
You never listen to me, You cannot look me in the eyes. I have struggled to see Why its so easy to push me aside....
I no longer believe, That you were ever on my side. How could you know what I need, When I'm the last thing on your mind...
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
[chorus] So disconnected, going through the motions again So disconnected, everything goes over your head So disconnected, you got me hangin by a thread So disconnected, when will this cycle end?
You dont really know me, I dont think you ever even tried We're on the same routine Where you say you never have the time
What do you want me to be? Do you want me in your life? I feel so incomplete You left me to fall behind
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
[chorus] So disconnected, going through the motions again So disconnected, everything goes over your head So disconnected, you got me hangin by a thread So disconnected, when will this cycle end?
Its too hard to just move on Its easier said then done Its too hard to just move on Its easier said then done
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
[chorus] So disconnected, going through the motions again So disconnected, everything goes over your head So disconnected, you got me hangin by a thread So disconnected, when will this cycle end?
So disconnected, going through the motions again So disconnected When will this cycle end
So disconnected So disconnected When will this cycle end?
I wanna meet up with you And show you what I'm thinking I'll take you anywhere That you wanna go I'm sitting here bored and lonely and You know that anytime you're free To show me how you feel We'll take it anywhere that you want to go Anywhere that you wanna go And I'd make it right if you wanted it I want it back more than you know I'd cross the line if you wanted it I want you back And I'm waiting for you To get that feeling once again Reunited in the end And I've been waiting for you To capture my imagination Cuz I've been fooled by the illusions in my head In my head Now I realize I never had it so good You took me anywhere I wanted to go Now I'm sitting here dreaming of the days When anytime I wanted I could show you how I feel I can't go anywhere that I want to go Anywhere that I want to go And I'd make it right if you wanted it I want it back more than you know I'd cross the line if you wanted it I want you back And I'm waiting for you To get that feeling once again Reunited in the end And I've been waiting for you To capture my imagination Cuz I've been fooled by the illusions in my head In my head I'll take it anywhere I'll take it anywhere I'll take it anywhere I'll take you anywhere you wanna go And I'd make it right if you wanted it I want it back more than you know I'd cross the line if you wanted it I want you back I'm waiting for you To get that feeling once again Reunited in the end I've been waiting for you To capture my imagination Cuz I've been fooled by the illusions in my head And I've been fooled by the illusions in my head And I've been fooled by the illusions in my head
Let me play I've been dying to let you win It's all I wanna be So won't you take if from me I wonder Why the less I get the more I give It's all I wanna be So won't you take if from me I want your eyes I want your eyes on me I want your eyes I want your eyes on me I want your eyes I want your eyes to see I want someone to notice me I wanna be your new victim I wanna be your new victim No regrets... even if it's all I get It's all I wanna be So wont you take it from me It still hurts It's never easy to forget Do I wanna be Well, you never asked me I want your eyes I want your eyes on me I want your eyes I want your eyes on me I want your eyes I want your eyes to see I want you to notice me I wanna be your new victim I wanna be your new victim I'm right here I'm right here I'm right here I'm right here I'm right here I'm right here I'm right here I'm right here I'm right here So come and get me! So come and get me! I wanna be your new victim I wanna be your new victim I wanna be your new victim I wanna be your new victim
Why don't you let me be Leave me alone You start a fire inside that i could never control You wanna see a reaction Come on and cut me doubt You've gone as far as i'll go Now you're crossing the line And i am letting you know Well here's your reaction Stand up I have had enough Walk away before i finish what you started Face to face i will push you in your place End this game before i finish what you started Face to face everything will change

Do we know how to get the message across We turn the lights off to find a way out It’s hard to get through to grasp what was lost Don’t turn the light off and leave me in the dark Hey, I’m pleading, my soul is bleeding I don’t want to be left alone, not when I’m right next to you What are you thinking, it’s so misleading Is it not for me to know, I think it’s just hard for you to show
We never spoke in the words that we want We turn the lights off to find a way out We’ve never chosen to keep what we’ve got Don’t turn the light off and leave me in the dark
I thought it would be nice to lie down and close my eyes It never occurred to me that I am already asleep
Don’t be the one to be let go Don’t be the one to be alone
This attraction only to appearance becoming your religion, looks are everything the only thing that means something to you satisfaction only on the surface, your eyes are always focused go on and let it show, that there is no exception to the rule
so fill the empty space with another pretty face
you're skin deep, skin deep no one will ever be perfect in your eyes you're skin deep, skin deep only scratching the surface for your prize
first impressions are over in an instant you make your decision before you speak a word you end you search the page already turned every conquest filled with disappointment, lacking any substance now you're out of words, the lines are blurred you're never going to learn
so fill the empty space with another pretty face
you're skin deep, skin deep no one will ever be perfect in your eyes you're skin deep, skin deep only scratching the surface for your prize
you're skin deep, skin deep no one will ever be perfect in your eyes you're skin deep, skin deep only scratching the surface for your prize
look all your life for beauty this fine so rare so hard to find never mind what's inside
you're skin deep, skin deep no one will ever be perfect in your eyes you're skin deep, skin deep only scratching the surface for your prize
Liquid courage pouring down, sober surface hits the ground, the masquerade has started now, and you have faded into the crowd
How do you know? How do you know just who your friends are? How do you know when you've gone too far to get high again?
You always feel so alone, the real you is never shown. Whose influence, whose influence are you under?
So much pressure to fit in, you never know where to begin. Whose influence, whose influence are you under now?
Liquid courage pouring down, sober surface can't be found, there's no denial you can drown, but nothing's final so turn around
How do you know? How do you know just who your friends are? How do you know when you've gone too far to get high again?
You always feel so alone, the real you is never shown. Whose influence, whose influence are you under now?
So much pressure to fit in, you never know where to begin. Whose influence, whose influence are you under now?
I want this... Do I want this? I want this / I want this Do I want this? / Do I want this? I want this / I want this Do I want this?
How do you know? How do you know just who your friends are? How do you know when you've gone too far?
You always feel so alone, the real you is never shown. Whose influence, whose influence are you under now?
So much pressure to fit in, you never know where to begin. Whose influence, whose influence are you under now? Whose influence, whose influence, whose influence are you under now?

It's hard to trust a stranger, but you're a stranger to yourself so who's to blame? Drown away emotion, as you numb yourself from any real pain.
There's nothing more real, and nothing's what it seems. We're always caught in between! There's nothing left to feel, but still you can not leave. You don't know what you need.
And I know that you use me to use you, And I know that you use me to use you, And I know that you use me to use you, To use you... (yeah)
Hopeing it's a ritual, the walls you build around us feel safe! Silence's always comfortable, is this the only reason that you stay!
There's nothing more real, and nothing's what it seems. We're always caught in between! There's nothing left to feel, but still you can not leave. You don't know what you need.
And I know that you use me to use you, And I know that you use me to use you, And I know that you use me to use you, And I know that you use me!
Feel your arms around me, wondering where this will go. I feel your arms around me, will you ever want this like I do.
And I know that you use me to use you, And I know that you use me to use you, And I know that you use me to use you, And I know that you use me!
And I know that you use me to use you, And I know that you use me to use you, To use you, To use you, To use you!
I've opened up my eyes, so tell me what I see I've opened up my mind, so tell me how to think Use your big words and show me how to speak You can't live your life through me I can't believe you think it's that easy
Your walls of pride are only fencing you in Your ego's been playing games with your head You're not the mastermind I am a product of my own design
Following you and your promised guarentees Free to choose as long as I live your dreams You say my own weight could never be carried I'll agree to disagree, I can't believe that you are that naive
Your walls of pride are only fencing you in Your ego's been playing games with your head You're not the mastermind I am a product of my own design
You were my eyes You were my ears You were my conscience all these years
No more No more No more No more My vision has never been so clear Looks like i have no one(i have no one)left to fear
Your walls of pride are only fencing you in Your ego's been playing games with your head You're not the mastermind I am a product of my own design, design you're not the mastermind I am a product of my own design
Something missing Left behind Search in circles Every time I try I've been here before I've seen you before I can't escape walking through these halls Hard to find a place where there are no walls And no lines begging me to cross Only straight ahead better move along Like Clockwork I commit the crime I pretend to be everything they like I've been here before I've seen you before And I trade everything for this And I trade everything for this Why do I read the writing on the wall Why do I read the writing on the wall I won't lose my place in line I've been here too long and I've spent to much time I won't lose my place in line I've been here too long and I've spent too much time
Don't be ashamed, Closing your weary eyes, Nervous and in disguise, Covered in white lies.
Don't be afraid, No reason to run and hide, You know I'm on your side.
[Chorus:] How much do you have to cover up? What have you done? How much do you have to cover up? Where will you run? Lookin' for an alibi, Searchin' for some peace of mind, It's all in your head, So start this over again. You're lookin' for an alibi, Searchin' for some peace of mind, It's all in your head, So start this over again.
No-one to blame, You know your hazard sign, Feelin' so paralyzed, Walkin' on fine lines.
There must be a way, To not have to analyze, Live without thinking twice.
