And I will fly real fuckin high I'll make sure that our worlds will collide And straight into the ground you will go Like the sharpest edged death arrow Realize who you're fuckin with Soon, you'll be underneath my grip I'll save my best for last! (x4) As you trade me in, he wins Haven't been the same since 18 I'm in a prisoner in your cage You must know I will escape (x3)

Cure 04:46
I don't know and I don't care who you wanna be And I don't know which way to go from here you see So walk away, walk away from me And I'll be there for you to Be, the one who ran away from me And I don't care where you are gonna be So, leave me before I tell you that I'm not sure That you will be my one and only cure My only cure So, be my friend till the very, very end And tell me everything that I should want to hear Don't be my friend till the very, very end and I'll act like this never, ever began You're my life support Stay by my side I've never asked for more But to keep me alive

Fall 02:58
Start the day with lasting worries My anxious nerves lead me to hurry As all these walls lie in my way All I know is that today I won't Fall! I will not fall! I will stand up! I will not crawl! (No not today) This is fight or flight, and I don't know why But, I will try to win this time (Buh-Buh-Breath!) As waves and nods make you a friend The social impersonal change rose again As the fake make their way to the front of the line It's just a matter of time before I Fall! I will not fall! I will stand up! I will not crawl! I will not, I will not, I will not, Fall!

Aspirations 04:16
So they look down on your aspirations Forget your trials and your tribulations Lead yourself to who you are Reject the notion that you won't get far It's your aspirations It's your destination It's your aspirations It's a revolution So they think you're a loner Somewhat of a stoner Backed up in a corner of a new world order Unable to mend from conforming trends Unable to mend from conforming trends So they look down on your aspirations Fuck society and it's limitations Lead yourself to who you are Reject the notion that you won't get far

Story Untold 04:55
Take a look in my clueless head and tell me what's on my mind Dream of ways to interchange so you can intertwine Dream of ways to make it on your own Rewrite your story untold And nobody believes that I can succeed I don't really care 'cuz this is not their dream And I'll find a way to prove them wrong As you continue to look up to the sky until you've reached it Take a look at how I feel inside 'cuz I know what it takes Take the time to make up your mind Underneath your heart you'll find all the pain you've left inside And I know they're all the same, but to you, you are to blame Underneath the unlocked doors, you will cry in the rain (You will find your way) And I never thought I would meet someone like you We'll live in the moment, we will seek the night through And I never wanna be alone again

Brainwashed 04:16
What is this world coming to, where there's no meaning behind the truth? I don't think I can take this anymore. The future of this generation makes my mind so sore. Everyone's the same yet certainly not sane Is this some kind of joke or a really bad game? (Woah, woah, woah, woah) There's not much hope in my way. No reason to stay and wait. I think everyone's cause, it is lost, or maybe they are all just brainwashed. You're Brainwashed! (x4) Identify Yourself! (x4) And die! I think everyone's cause, it is lost, or maybe you are all just brainwashed

Who Cares? 02:12
The clocks are tickin in my mind I wish that I could turn back time Who cares anyways, I can't afford that broken heart Who cares anyways, I care for that broken heart Who cares anyways, I can't afford that broken heart Who cares anyways, I care for (Woo-ooh) x4 Who cares anyways, I can't afford! Who cares anyways, I care for! Who cares anyways, I can't afford! Who cares anyways, I care for! (Ah-ah!) x3 (Ah!)
