If I'm gone I'm not forgotten 'Till the end of time 'Till I'm on my way Take me home Ashes to empires in the story of our lives As we search for answers And the reasons why Why you left me behind Why are you walking away? My friend, please, won't you just stay? Oh god, stop, don’t touch that weapon Don't pull the trigger Dont make me step in Your blood, your guts Your memories, your gore Don't you fucking dare Open that door Fuck you. Fuck me. I quit it, im Eyes burning, I'm urning For you to come back to me This lesson, confessions If only you knew If I'm gone I'm not forgotten 'Till the end of time 'Till I'm on my way Take me home Ashes to empires in the story of our lives As we search for answers And the reasons why Why you left me behind I can only retrace lines That have already been drawn By kisses on your skin 'Till the feelings are gone I wish I could have figured out that all we had was gone ‘Cause then i could have saved myself from the pain that you have caused The feeling of abandonment Comes ringing in my head After all that you have put me through I feel like I am dead And now you have gone away But the scars remain I can’t forgive my mind It's such a subtle crime Eyes burning, I'm urning For you to come back to me This lesson, confessions If only you knew If I'm gone I'm not forgotten 'Till the end of time 'Till I'm on my way Take me home Ashes to empires in the story of our lives As we search for answers And the reasons why Why you left me behind You are just a contradiction I am just a ghost When oblivion comes calling Don't let go You were a lie You were the truth You were the most true lie I knew Fuck you If I'm gone I'm not forgotten 'Till the end of time 'Till im on my way Take me home If I'm gone I'm not forgotten 'Till the end of time 'Till im on my way Take me home Ashes to empires in the story of our lives As we search for answers And the reasons why Why you left me behind

(One touch) To turn back time (One day) And three long nights (One look) To break my heart (Tell me) This is who we are So hopelessly lost in The things we’ve forgotten I am awaiting the end of the line Regrets and best friends Late nights and dead ends Moments and years spent All turned to dust Can you hear me? I am screaming Words fall on deaf ears So misleading He said stay for just one more She collapsed on the bathroom floor A last chance but it’s too late The clock read 2:38 (One touch) To turn back time (One day) And three long nights (One look) To break my heart (Tell me) This is who we are

Oh dear mother resolution I am coming back right now Your warm embrace in this haunted place Can break you down I can’t remember the last time I can’t recall a word you said The time has come, the bell has rung The games have begun Give me reconciliation When a new day has begun Consequence of providence Will block out the sun All I need is one more chance to make this right We built this goddamned house just to burn it down Confess your sins to me Tell me about all the bad shit you’ve done Your conspiracy Is overwhelming me Caught in between my heart and mind And it’s in between where I will stay Like devils in snow, God only knows What I have to show Give me reconciliation When a new day has begun Consequence of providence Will block out the sun All I need is one more chance to make this right We built this goddamned house just to burn it down You burned it down You burned it down Your peace of mind is hard to find You left me out in the cold and dark of night Hanging on every word you said You won’t be my last regret Cloud the skies, bring the rain Wash me away, and take my all My broken bones; so abused Remember this, I’ll wait for you Your peace of mind is hard to find You left me out in the cold and dark of night Hanging on every word you said You won’t be my last regret Cloud the skies, bring the rain Wash me away, and take my all My broken bones; so abused Remember this, I’ll wait for you I’ll wait for you.

Overthinking (Let Me Go) 04:00
lyrics

It started with a thought At least I think it was a thought It’s really hard to tell when it’s rotting out your fucking mind, and stealing your passion Your passion to breathe Passion to see the world through someone else’s eyes Eyes you get lost in Eyes that can tear you apart or end a war, with a glance Eyes filled with storms and rain and oceans of green and blue and grey It’s all so grey now Where did we fall apart? And why does it never seem to end? Let me go It’s not a story I’ve been told Tomorrow I’ll be old September calls me home I guess I know that now My vision is clear, but I can’t find meaning in anything Looking through glass, and coffee stains at my reflection, in your dream And I saw you standing there Unaware of the wreckage you left behind A smile touched your lips, but I was so far away You couldn’t see it, but I could Gutless and cynical And absolutely perfect Let me go It’s not a story I’ve been told Tomorrow I’ll be old September calls me home We all have the demon Banging on the walls to get out Some resort to writing on skin Some simply fall out Let me go It’s not a story I’ve been told Tomorrow I’ll be old September calls me home Let me go Breathe in my soul What I will miss the most Is when September called me home September calls me home September calls me...

Who could’ve known that I’d be Out here all alone And facing what’s to come On my own The songs that we all knew They were the anthems of my youth My philosophy My pointless point of view I believe that I’m wanted And I believe that we lost it all This city never sleeps But we’re all ill at ease And we all fall down We’ve only got a lifetime Death is the deadline Living loud Is our battle cry We’re down but never out I’ll tell you what it’s all about Home is where my heart is Time is runnin’ out I believe that I’m wanted And I believe that we lost it all Here comes the scene Fire up the guillotine And we all fall down She told me that she was leaving She said “I’ve lost faith in the life I’m leading” We all smile when we say goodbye We all smile when we’re dying inside I believe that I’m wanted And I believe that we lost it all This city never sleeps But we’re all ill at ease And we all fall down I believe that I’m wanted And I believe that we lost it all Here comes the scene Fire up the guillotine And we all fall down You can lie with me But don’t confide in me I am a hopeless heart Here’s my plight Don’t leave me alone I will carry you home I am a hopeless heart ‘Till I die

End Of All Things 05:48

Go away Everyday it's the same Sleepless nights, you're to blame This place, it feels so wrong A life so strong, a life long gone Never give up the fight One last shout before we’re gone Our final stand is tonight Try and tell us to move on You said you wish that I would die To leave you here with this last goodbye Memories all fade away We can't outrun our destiny Chasing what has fallen apart Asking God if Hell would be a new start You will hear me sing In the end of all things It's writing on the walls Though it was never said All these words that ran unspoken They lived inside my head I don't need your condescension Your words will leave no scars Bury your demons, we will forget them Let's take back what's ours You said you wish that I would die To leave you here with this last goodbye Memories all fade away We can't outrun our destiny Chasing what has fallen apart Asking God if Hell would be a new start You will hear me sing In the end of all things Go away You said you wish that I would die To leave you here with this last goodbye Memories all fade away We can't outrun our destiny Chasing what has fallen apart Asking God if Hell would be a new start You will hear me sing In the end of all things

Come Home, Caulfield 04:12

My greatest regret is your greatest success My faithful heartache is your favorite keepsake Your ignorant eyes can’t see this My cloudy skies hold secrets That ship has sailed And none too soon When all else has failed And in the blink of an eye I threw it all away My last chance at getting everything If you fall down or fall out Off the Earth Did you get what you deserved? (Verse) Or was it just a lesson learned? It hurts, I know, tell me you are not alone These trying times are trying too hard Our dying times, calling out to her Say a prayer with me, tonight Then shut your eyes and fall asleep To sirens and a eulogy A gift to you, my valentine Best regards as cars collide I threw it all away My last chance at getting everything If you fall down or fallout Off of the Earth Did you get what you deserved? I threw it all away My last chance at getting everything FUCK! I threw it all away My last chance at getting everything If you fall down or fallout Off of the Earth Did you get what you deserved? Did you get what you deserved? Did you get what you deserved?

Is there a reason for these fucking demons clouding my vision I only wanna’ clarify so I can make a decision Is this wrong or is this right? I cannot stand all the pain I feel tonight Oh my God Is this all there is to love and hope? Just warmth that I will never know? Something I must say, the words you said to me Have left their mark and now they're a all I see I showed up late, and then I fell behind You're perfect end could never be mine As an angel dies Lonely but not alone tonight You look just like you did before And I had to forgive It's nights like this that make you wonder When will I let go? And I've tried so hard to forget But you've always done this to me A hollow point bouquet A cyanide holiday Can you tell I am helpless when you go I am hopeless on my own These cold sheets I've come to know Will carry me into the unknown I thought of this, I confess Truth lost in silence Moving on just to regress Dreams of star falls, violence Just a shell away from the end You look just like you did before And I had to forgive (Just a shell away from the end) It's nights like this that make you wonder When will I let go (Can we ever make amends?) And I've tried so hard to forget But you've always done this to me (But you've always done this to me) A hollow point bouquet A cyanide holiday

If it's all I have left You can make your demands You can take all your time And you can take all I am And if it's all I have left You can tell me your lies I'll believe and breathe in Every word if you like If this is what it feels like I never want to wake up If nothing's built to last I hope I end first I don't mind You bleed me dry It reminds me That I'm still alive Feeling alive doesn't feel real at all Say a prayer tonight, I think this casket's too small When you've moved far away, forgotten this place, will you remember me? And if it's all I have left You can watch me falling away We can laugh and I'll lie I'll say I'm doing ok And if it's all I have left It's best left up to you Misread every sign Every scar, every bruise Letting go So cold and alone But it's all that I want And it's all that I know When morning comes I'll forget what I said But for what it's worth I meant every word Feeling alive doesn't feel real at all Say a prayer tonight, I think this casket's too small When you've moved far away, forgotten this place, will you remember me? Remember me You are snow in the spring So overwhelming Weathering your storm against it all You are smoke burning my eyes I couldn't stop if I tried You are tarnished and frayed And oh God so afraid In the end it never was a question at all You are an atom bomb You are my favorite song Feeling alive doesn't feel real at all Say a prayer tonight, I think this casket's too small When you've moved far away, forgotten this place, will you remember me?

I never wandered off too far A cry for sympathy I’ve been here once before I took a long drive down that lonely desert road Through back alleys of my mind A gunshot to hell This is the end until we begin This is a revelation from within And when your downfall is dead and gone Hear this marching call to carry on This is do or die or nevermind This is all that has passed you by This is the anthem of all that we have become This is… I’ll be coming back again You’ve been a good friend to me You stuck by me through it all And after everything And years gone by I guess some things never change But I wouldn’t change a thing This is the end until we begin This is a revelation from within And when your downfall is dead and gone Hear this marching call to carry on This is do or die or nevermind This is all that has passed you by This is the anthem of all that we have become This is… A smile, a tear The last things I give to you These words, inked and smeared Burning to tell the truth Our hearts in salad days When I would stand in your grace I’ll take all the the blame I'm moving on Say what you need to say I’m moving on Say what you need to say I’m moving on This is the end until we begin This is a revelation from within And when your downfall is dead and gone Hear this marching call to carry on This is do or die or nevermind This is all that has passed you by This is the anthem of all that we have become This is… This is love This is war This is revenge This is yours This is now This is pain This is forever To the grave This is gold This is cold This is all I’ve ever known This is the only thing I could ever call my home This is our greatest hope
