Here, where it all begins, the fear will not take us.
I've seen the Devil's eyes stare into mine and turned unshaken.
With dawn breaks new light to lead the way, uncharted.

Cruel

I remember those long nights
Writing words by candlelight
Didn’t want to be alone
But couldn’t take another fight
Black hoodie and spiral bound
Switchfoot and shinedown
Just me and my thoughts now
Why can’t I seem to drown them out
You were supposed to make me stronger
But instead you left me broken
You know life is so much harder
When your heart is breaking open, open
Ooo
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo
Why did you have to be so
Cruel
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo, Ooo
Now I’m in a new town
Left the past behind now
But it still shows up now and then
To tell me I’m a let-down
Black hoodie and spiral bound
The words come alive now
All the truth that I’ve found
And nobody can drown it out
You were supposed to make me stronger
But instead you left me broken
I was blinded by the darkness
But now my eyes are open, open
Ooo
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo
Why did you have to be so
Cruel
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo, Ooo
Ooo
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo
Why did you have to be so
Cruel
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo, Ooo
I’m breaking away from
Breaking away from
Breaking away from you
I’m runnin’ to somethin'
I’m runnin’ to somethin’
Runnin’ to somethin’ new
I’m breaking away from
Breaking away from
Breaking away from you
I’m runnin’ to somethin'
I’m runnin’ to somethin’
Runnin’ to somethin’ new
Ooo
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo
Why did you have to be so
Cruel
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo, Ooo
Ooo
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo
Why did you have to be so
Cruel
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo, Ooo

Future

Tomorrow just rode by on a ten speed
Wild hair and a little bit of acne
Grey hat, hack that,
Java script and snapchat
He’ll be putting millions in the bank before he’s twenty.
We are the future
We are the now
We are survival
No backing down
We won’t surrender
Won’t run away
We are the future
Believe me
We’re gonna be the movement
There’s a mountain
You’re gonna watch us move it
Skies open over us, and the world,
We’re not gonna leave it the way that it was
Yesterday she was a new born baby
Now she’s rocking dress blues in the navy
"Yes ma’am no ma’am"
Turn and there she goes again
Working for the safety of the free world daily
We are the future
We are the now
We are survival
No backing down
We won’t surrender
Won’t run away
We are the future
Believe me
We’re gonna be the movement
There’s a mountain
You’re gonna watch us move it
Skies open over us, and the world,
We’re not gonna leave it the way that it was
Believe me
We’re gonna be the movement
There’s a mountain
You’re gonna watch us move it
Skies open over us, and the world,
We’re not gonna leave it the way that it was
We don’t look like much
But there is so much more to us
We don’t look like much
But we are so much more
We don’t look like much
But there is so much more to us
We don’t look like much
But we are so much more
We don’t look like much
But there is so much more to us
We don’t look like much
But we are so much more
We don’t look like much
But there is so much more to us
We don’t look like much
But we are so much more
We are the future
Believe me
We’re gonna be the movement
There’s a mountain
You’re gonna watch us move it
Skies open over us, and the world,
We’re not gonna leave it the way that it was
Believe me
We’re gonna be the movement
There’s a mountain
You’re gonna watch us move it
Skies open over us, and the world,
We’re not gonna leave it the way that it was

Just to Forget
02:53

When we met you were newly free and running for it
She was a head hunter killing men and living for it
You survived a hurricane that took away your everything
I know it’s hard to let go, oh
Baby when you’re with me do you think about her
Was it something that I said
Was it something that I…
Did you love me just to forget
How much she meant to you
When she put you through hell
Did you love me just to forget
Sometimes you drift away and leave me alone
I know that she’s still there in your mind in your bones
Telling me that you’re alright but I just don’t believe it
There’s a look there in your eye
But you can’t see it
Can you hear me where you are
So close but so far
Can we try this from the start
Can we try this from the start
Did you love me just to forget
How much she meant to you
When she put you through hell
Did you love me just to forget
Just to forget
Did you love me just to forget
How much she meant to you
When she put you through hell
Did you love me just to forget
Did you love me just to forget
How much she meant to you
When she put you through hell
Did you love me just to forget

Wash You Away
04:17

Don’t make me say I’m sorry
Don’t make me stay here with you
I’ve been waiting for the rain
To wash you away
Don’t make me say I love you
Don’t make me beg you to stay
I’ve been waiting for the morning
To change my mistakes
‘
Cause I’m with you in the night
And I’m with you in the rain
And I keep on thinking that something
Will change what you say
Well maybe you loved somebody
And maybe that someone was me
But somehow you must have forgotten
What that really means
‘Cause I’m with you in the night
And I’m with you in the rain
And I keep on thinking that something
Will change what you say
Cause I’m with you in the night
And I’m with you in the rain
And I keep on thinking that something
Will change what you say
Cause I’m with you in the night
And I’m with you in the rain
And I keep on thinking that something
Will change what you say

Devil

Yeah sometimes I really wonder if you’re even human
Put a hand on your chest but I swear I feel no movement
You look at me and chills run down my spine and I feel haunted
Hear you laughing as I run ‘cause that’s exactly what you wanted
Yeah, someone call the white coats ‘cause you’re freaking psycho
You tell me that I’m losing it tell me something that I don’t know
You brought me to the edge but I am never going over
Don’t know what I ever did to earn the chip that’s on your shoulder
There’s nowhere you can go
There’s nothing I don’t know
Why don’t you look me in the eyes
Your halo’s bullet proof
but I am on to you
You’ve told the last of all your lies
You’re a d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-devil-devil
d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-devil-devil
d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-devil-devil
d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-devil-devil
You’re the kind of person that my mama always mentioned
You pretend to be the victim but you really want attention
Turned everyone against me and you tried to be the hero
Well how’s that working for ya hon’ now we all know you’re a zero
You’re sick and pathetic it’s about time someone said it
I feel nothing for you now and I am pretty sympathetic.
When you hurt the ones I love you get no sympathy, forget it.
You’re lucky I don’t hunt you down and make sure you regret it.
There’s nowhere you can go
There’s nothing I don’t know
Why don’t you look me in the eyes
Your halo’s bullet proof
but I am on to you
You’ve told the last of all your lies
You’re a d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-devil-devil
d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-devil-devil
d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-devil-devil

d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-devil-devil
Now I know, I know
Wish somebody told me when I met you for the first time
Now I know, I know
You’re always wearing white but you’ re a devil on the inside
Now I know, I know
Wish somebody told me when I met you for the first time
Now I know, I know
You’re always wearing white but you’ re a devil on the inside
You’re a d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-devil-devil

Swingin'
03:57
|

Found myself in another town
A kinda one light one life piece of the ground
Not really lookin’ to settle down
Just wanna rest for a while
Just let me rest for a while
Found a bar and I was sippin’ wine
When a pair of snake eyes started looking at mine
He came to me with a crooked smile
And said stay for a while
“Why don’t you stay for a while”
I don’t know what you think you know
But I’ve been fighting with my ghosts
They try to tell me there’s no hope
They say I’m all alone
But they’re not…
Breaking me breaking me
Knock me down and I’ll come up swinging
Shaking me shaking me
They try to drown out the song I’m singin’
I can barely breathe
But I’m so close to
Breaking free, breaking free
Knock me down and I’ll come up swingin’
He turned to me with that reptile grin
And said “no matter what you do
You know you’ll never win
It’s not a warning it’s a promise child
I’ve been around for a while
I’ve been around for a while”
I don’t know what you’ve been told
But let me tell you what I know
There’s a place far down below
Calling you back home
But they’re not
Breaking me breaking me
Knock me down and I’ll come up swinging
Shaking me shaking me
They try to drown out the song I’m singin’
I can barely breathe
But I’m so close to
Breaking free, breaking free
Knock me down and I’ll come up swingin’
Knock me down and I'll come up swingin'
Breaking me breaking me
Knock me down and I’ll come up swinging
Shaking me shaking me
They try to drown out the song I’m singin’
I can barely breathe
But I’m so close to
Breaking free, breaking free
Knock me down and I’ll come up swingin’
Breaking me breaking me
Shaking me shaking me
I can barely breathe
But I’m so close to
Breaking free, breaking free
Knock me down and I’ll come up swingin’

Penumbra

The shadows wait for us to dream
They speak of all the haunted things
We can’t forget all that we’ve seen
We know that life can be terrifying
“Don’t let go, don’t let go”
That’s the future calling
“
Don’t lose hope, don’t lose hope”
The shadows want to see us dance
We know the night can fall so fast
But we will have our second chance
We are not here just to dream of dying
“Don’t let go, don’t let go”
That’s the future calling
“
Don’t lose hope, don’t lose hope”
The sun has never failed to rise
We don’t know, we don’t know
Why we have no fear of falling
We were meant to be stronger
Til the dark made us broken
But we won’t be much longer
The people have spoken, spoken
“Don’t let go, don’t let go”
That’s the future calling
“
Don’t lose hope, don’t lose hope”
The sun has never failed to rise
We don’t know, we don’t know
Why we have no fear of falling
No fear of falling
We were meant to be stronger
Til the dark made us broken
But we won’t be much longer
The people have spoken, spoken

Lost

I fight for the years that meant something
For the day that everything will be alright
I reach for the days I never knew
All the dreams that won’t come true, not in time
There’s a voice in my head that’s telling me it’s alright
Telling me it's alright
Telling me it's alright
I know we’ve all felt like hell is here
All the good things disappear when we need them most
But I know there is life beyond the sun
And I know I hear someone calling me home
There’s a voice in the world that’s keeping me alive
Keeping me alive
Keeping me alive
And I’ve been here feeling lost in the middle
Lost in the middle of time
Lost in the middle of time
And I won’t back down I won’t surrender
Not on your life
Not on your life
I fight for the years that meant something
For the day that everything will be alright
And I’ve been here feeling lost in the middle
Lost in the middle of time
Lost in the middle of time
And I won’t back down I won’t surrender
Not on your life
Not on your life
And I’ve been here feeling lost in the middle
Lost in the middle of time
Lost in the middle of time
And I won’t back down I won’t surrender
Not on your life
Not on your life
There’s a voice in the world that’s keeping me alive
Keeping me alive
Keeping me alive

There are many rooms and many doors with paths all intertwining
No windows tell what lies in each and every winding
Chancing or forsaking
Our future undertaking
The destination yet to be seen was always in the making
