A certain fire in that smile you wear There was something that we shared When the sea slowly fades away We will leave for home in my heart you'll stay and never find your way out These tides are starting to come in This beautiful process is a seizure in a dream We shook the world as it sleeps There is no other place I’d rather be as long as you are next to me As I drown in your eyes at night I see the oceans end in sight Then we can fade away You kept me in a hold for days I never found my way out You’re always going to drag me in You'll always drag me in When you want it and you need it you see perfection You found the better way out But this isn't what you expected We found those better days here This is all we ever wanted We have the chance to feel all of this So shut up and take the chance Enjoy the ride This is not what we expected

Blank Canvas 03:15
It’s never so easy We fell down but we're breathing With each step the road froze as life moves the deep cold You carry this weight A set back, another mistake See the world’s warmth as it leaves it behind It’s so comical when faced with this failing art We are the colors in movement There is something to display in these changing days We are the colors in movement The portraits of progress The victims never heard that life moves on and on Past the saddest days The days we never forget So face it, the weakness is stopping the artist We fall down to get up This portrait is never perfect All we want on this blank canvas Is the perfect picture of the way it was The best, the worst, the love, the hurt In the end we hang on walls Memories that we recall The big, the small We lived it all It’s so comical you’re faced with this failing art We killed the artist and it’s so comical There is something to display in these changing days We killed the artist The portraits the progress We are lost artists

This is our common ground A place where I found you Where nothing is a mystery and anything goes You showed me the consistency I needed to know I know you won’t disappear You are the constant and few These stories have changed We're still the same You will be here any day You feel the comfort renewed These seasons have changed but I'm still the same I will be there any day We wander around the world thinking back to the place that defined our lives It wasn't easy to see people fleeting We stay awake just to see faces leaving We always knew to make it through it would be up to me and you I won't disappear This is our home Places that we know This is our home Faces that we hold

This is the finest stage Where distance gets closer with time Surrender your life Change the set, we're fine We see in photographs We gave this stage all we had until it all makes sense This is our time to find our signs and follow through This is the show where hearts will grow We chase the life as we live in circles The bands played on remembering the glory in our stories Sing with a voice and never forget Join in the chorus and feel no regret This is all we know We fight this life and find a way

Small Town 03:35
Chasing you in these games we play Your moves are on as I sit and wait The Faster we play for our fame we move on or find our stay In this mad mad world we could steal moments from the sane and look away Is this real or just a hoax? We are the lost ghosts It’s faster to take the blame An empty page with no words to say You started this, I’ll finish it At least we knew There was something to hold onto This is our dance we remember At least we knew This was never just a fast view It’s our fight I’ll be your defender Deny the way it tastes Chasing words so far away In time we change The saddest pain is the loser’s fame It's harder if we play the game but it's faster to run away This time just stay Then we'll move on to better days and somehow I’ll find the place Never look away There is no easy way out I hear the noise of this small town There is a place for us now Can you hear those sounds?

This is such a mess We scream loud songs with lost lyrics Then we know we'll always find our way (This time we'll get it right) When these makeshift moments at misplaced minutes never gave us the time to figure this all out We could shout take the breath from our lungs Finally were moving on As the world shuts down we hear the crowd screaming as they find a way to be found (this is a dying sound) In the silence of times we wait for the signs Singing while were dying We never felt so alive Embrace these days Live these moments Sing so loud that chaos will be found (We know we'll be alright) Find those words in the biggest crowds Casualties in the dead sound but we can say we made it When chaos has left you bare we keep on fighting the times we fear Silence kills the heart, it wants to scream the thoughts we share When chaos has left you bare we keep on fighting the times we fear Silence kills the heart, it wants to scream with those thoughts and the lives we share Scream loud as we found chaos in this dying sound
