The Omen
03:31
|

I am the omen
You are the sea
I am the oakling
You are the tree
I am the anthem
You are the sign
I am the evergreen
You are the wine
We are made of ash and cinder (unbroken)
We are equipped with a plated armor (unbroken)
You cannot see us with your shady eyes
You cannot break us with your tainted lies
We are made of gold and silver (unbroken)
We are equipped with a badge of honor (unbroken)
You cannot hear us with your tainted ears
You cannot break us with your shady sneers

A-C-I-D
03:47
|

You're outta your mind
Remember you're the one I was hoping to find
I know you're thinkin' we're through
Do I have to spell it out for you?
You wanna T-O-U-C-H
I'll be your S-K-I-N
You wanna F-L-O-A-T
I'll be your A-C-I-D
You wanna L-E-A-V-E
I'll be your E-X-I-T
You wanna F-L-O-A-T
I'll be your A-C-I-D
You're not thinking straight
Remember I'm the one who's been willing to wait
I guess you're thinking we're through
Do I have to spell it out for you?

The Call
04:38
|
|||
Don't you know you trigger all these fears
When you call and it's been so many years?
There's no way to escape these silly fears now
Why'd you call when it's been so many years?
And it's like there's nowhere left to hide
But I answered, so I swallow my pride
And I lie when you ask me how I've been
Wanna cry, but instead I fake a grin, and I say
All amazing actually
Better be believin' baby
Can't come clean; complicated
Don't dare dream; dedicated
Even evil earns enough
For fear of falling far forever
Gotta get gone, generate it
Heated and hurt, I hesitated
Don't you know, you left this broken heart
When you moved on to break some brand new start
There's no way you could hold this broken heart now
Did you find out when you made your brand new start?
End the call, cause I've got the urge to quit
But I answered, so I try to run with it
And I lie when you ask me what I've done
Tell me why can't I have a little fun? So I say

Don't you ever wonder
Don't you ever think
There's something they're not telling us
They'll whisper lies they tell you
They'll spin the truth they sell you
There's something they're not telling us
We should always wonder
We should always think
There's something they're not telling us
They'll turn their backs, they'll shun you
They'll try to straight outrun you
There's something they're not telling us
Hear that call?
There's a sense of urgency, honey
Ready, run
Feel that fall?
They declare emergency, honey
Swear I'll run
See that light?
There's a glance of clarity, honey
Ready, run
To breathe, to fight
There's a similarity, honey
Swear I'll run
It's in the air we're breathing
The way we're raised to think
There's something they're not telling us
They'll find a way to attract you
Then twist the facts to distract you
There's something they're not telling us
Just when you think you're under
Salvation's on the brink
There's something they're not telling us
They'll hunt you down they'll stop you
They'll raise you just to drop you
There's something they're not telling us

Snowsong
03:13
|
|||
It's just that you live so far
It'll probably take an hour to scrape your car
It really doesn't look like they plowed
Just stick around, two isn't a crowd
Holy whoa! Lookit all the snow!
Good god, it's negative degrees
And that shit's still coming down, so please
Why would you go?
It's just that you'd freeze alive
And I could probably use you to shovel the drive
You'll die just opening the door
Hey, stick around please
I want more

Shut Your Mouth
02:14
|
|||
Boy, oh you call me all these lovely things
Boy, your attention is better than diamond rings
Boy, oh I told you I was really insecure
Boy, if you keep it up I'll be turning red for sure
I'mma need you to shut your mouth now
Don't believe a word that you say
Gonna need you to tone it down now
I kinda like it when you look at me that way
You know you need to back it up now
Hard to say what you see in me
Don't you dare try to take it back now
I kinda like it when you compliment me
Boy, oh you can't keep your hands off me
Boy, your affection is deeper than the sea
Boy, oh I told you I was really insecure
Boy, if you keep it up I'll be turning red for sure

Turn Off My Heart
03:49
|
|||
I'm all doubt
In the clouds
My heart found a way
And you'll figure it out
Oh, I dread the day
Tryin' to keep my distance
Tryin' to shut up, yeah
But all I want is a glance my way
Tryin' to stay sane
Tryin' to get up and over this
But all I want is you, ok?
I don't know how these feelings got so strong
I wish my heart could tell it was wrong
I don't know why I let myself start
I wish that I could turn off - turn off my heart
I don't know what else to say
Keep it in and locked away
I don't know what else to do
Didn't mean to fall for you

Overboard
04:21
|
|||
Not tryin to lecture
The way that you do you
It's what drew me to you
It's second nature
The way that you fashion
The heat of your passion
You said that we were gonna rule this town
I thought you wanted to
But instead I'm waiting for it all to fall down
You must want it to
Well I say I'm all about you going all out
Just don't go overboard
And you do these things in excess
When you know that you're about
To go overboard
Spend what you like on it
Put what you want on it
Do what you want with it
Let it all out now
Just don't go overboard
Not tryin' to change you
It's just that you're crucial
To keeping me neutral
My kinda strange, yeah
The way that you make it
You don't have to fake it

The Strength
03:52
|
|||
I have many more miles to go; planned on going solo
I have many more battles to fight, yet little did I know
You're the one beside me, not just my shadow
And now you want to guide me; find it hard to say no
What if I never let it go what if I never heal
What if you kinda wanna stay what if you really feel
What if I always wanna keep myself at arm's length
Could you take it Baby, do you have the strength

Enemy
03:00
|
|||
Boot upon my chest, press a little harder
Hands around my neck squeeze a little tighter
Every year
Dagger in my heart, push a little deeper
Water in my lungs; Breathing's getting harder
This is war
Right here, right now
Raging in the streets
Right here, right now
We are the enemy
And I don’t know how to make you see
I don't know how to get us free
No I don't know how to make you see
We are the enemy
And when you close your eyes, they win
And while you feel like you can’t fight, they win
And while you crawl on your knees, they win
And when you don’t want to believe, they win

Rise Up
03:38
|
|||
We may walk away harmed
If we put up a fuss
They are big and they are armed
They outnumber us
We'll take back the fight
'Cause we know what's right
When they hear our sound
they'll surely come around
Say your goodbyes
Raise a battle cry
Time to sound the alarm
It isn't enough
We need to rise up
Kiss your goodbyes
No more standing by
This is a call to arms
We've taken enough
We need to rise up
We may see the sun set
In the final hour
They'll never let us forget
They have the power
We'll try to take back the fight
Even deep into the night
When they hear our sound
They're bound to turn around

In The North
02:03
|
|||
In the north, the land is wild and free
the trees there have those blood red leaves
In the north, there is a frozen wall
the men in black they watch it all
In the north, the wind is biting cold
the beings there are a sight to behold
In the north, there will be a great big war
the likes of which we've never seen before
So remember the southern sun keeps you warm
and remember, summer child, through the storm
Your place is here, not in the north

Hold On
02:44
|
|||
Path, long and winding
Paved to wear you down
Even with that journey up ahead
You've got to hold on
There's something there worthwhile
Bones slowly breaking
All from the weight
Even with that mountain on your back
You've got to hold on
There's something there worthwhile
Death surely knocking
Right at your door
Even with that pounding in your chest
You've got to hold on
There's something there worthwhile
