SECRETS LYRICS

1. How We Survive

I feel so alone
On these vacant roads
My heart can only break so many times
Before I lose my faith in all mankind
These scars simply serve to remind me
Why I still pretend everything is all right

This world is dark but you are not alone
It's never too late for a fresh start, a new home
Nothing is set in stone

I hear these voices in my head
Over and over and over again
They keep telling me
You're better off dead

I'm giving up, I'm giving up on you 

This world is dark but you are not alone
It's never too late for a fresh start, a new home
Nothing is set in stone

We are, we are the unforgiving
We are, we are the hopeless in love
Now that I need you, you're nowhere around

Everyone that I have loved is gone 

This world is dark but you are not alone
It's never too late for a fresh start, a new home
Nothing is set in stone

2. Ready For Repair

Take me back to where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed

These days will only end in shame
Did you ever believe we'd be this way?
Tearing down the structures that we made
I think we need to make a change

You can twist and turn me inside out
But you'll never stretch what I'm about
And everything you let slip
Is pushing forward to a repeat exit

Take back what we've done, we can start it all over

Take me back to where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed

Looks like we've been here before
We're throwing punches, but we're missing all the marks
I say we need to take a second to analyze what we've been missing

Every time you cry
I try to hide it but a piece of me dies
Every time we try
We always end up at each others throats
I can't escape who I am

Take me back to where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed

Don't try to hide all your demons inside
Let me see who you really are
Don't pretend everything's alright
We knew we were dead from the start
I don't expect you to understand
It's time to take my life in my own hands
I finally realize I need a fresh start
We were always meant to fall apart

We were always meant to fall apart

Take me back to where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed

Every time you cry
I try to hide it but a piece of me dies

3. Forever And Never

So here's my honest opinion
I think we're way past forgiveness
To make up now is a sin, so let me say it again
How could you expect a boy like me
To ever stand a chance against a girl like you?
But don't give up on me just yet

I thought I needed you
But no one needs someone who cant choose
Between true love, or just lust 
I guess the worlds not enough

I remember all the days, 
Granted, grief and the pain lasted weeks
Hope seemed so out of reach
How could you expect a boy like me
To ever stand a chance against a girl like you?

I thought I needed you
But no one needs someone who cant choose
Between true love, or just lust 
I guess the worlds not enough

You always looked better lying on your back
Than you did lying to my face

And I had your back against the wall
You lied through your teeth just to see me fall
So many countless days I spent calling your name
I feel nothing but shame

I thought I needed you
But no one needs someone who cant choose
Between true love, or a fuck
I guess the worlds not enough

4. Artist Vs. Who?

I'm a mess, I confess
I'm happy to see this

It must be hard looking at yourself in the mirror 
When her reflection is no longer there 
I know it's hard to swallow like the pills that follow
When you see her standing next to me,
A better man than you'll ever be

Nothing looks right in your life
You were always meant to find broken dreams
So it seems maybe you should hide from this life
Don't you fight, you know you wont win this time
Just give up for the rest of us

I thought we were rid of you 
And you can bet your ass I'm gonna see this through
I'm gonna haunt you
The sad thing is you think you've won

You can't run (fuck you) you'll pay for what you've done
You can't hide (fuck you) the wars already won

Nothing looks right in your life
You were always meant to find broken dreams
So it seems maybe you should hide from this life
Don't you fight, you know you wont win this time
Just give up for the rest of us

They say living well is a mans best revenge
But to a man who lives for nothing, 
I say to you, you'll feel my wrath

A coward sneaks to death, while the brave live on

Nothing looks right in your life
You were always meant to find broken dreams
So it seems maybe you should hide from this life
Don't you fight, you know you wont win this time
Just give up for the rest of us

5. Wasted Youth (Part 1)

We're the abandoned kids, we escape this life
Through over counter prescriptions, and under counted addictions
We're begging for attention, but nobody listens
So ill slit my wrists and take these pills
To make them feel the way I feel

Take me away to a place that I know
A place I hide from the monster inside
Someone please provide me with a reason to live on

Hold out your hands, take it all in
This is now your mistake, so carry the burden

If only you could see
The toll this has taken on me
This is who I am, it's not who I wanted to be

Take me away to a place that I know
Someone please provide me with a reason to live on

Hold out your hands, take it all in
This is now your mistake, so carry the burden

Maybe if you would have loved me you'd still have me

Hold out your hands, take it all in
This is now your mistake, so carry the burden

This is who I am not who I wanted to be

6. The Architect (Part 2)

You never trust in me, and it's bringing me down
Don't put your faith in me, I might not let you down

Why can't you see?
I'm now the man I want to be
Why can't you see?
You're not the man I want to be

If I live my life like you want me to
Would you be proud of me?
If I could prove to you by living in your shoes
Could you be proud of me?

Footsteps aren't always meant to be followed
I have a life to live
And when I'm gone you'll only have yourself to blame

If I live my life like you want me to
Would you be proud of me?
If I could prove to you by living in your shoes
Could you be proud of me?
I don't have to sleep to live out my dreams
I'm wide awake to the fact that you reject me

If I live my life like you want me to
Would you be proud of me?

Why could you never put your faith in me?
Allow me to dream

Footsteps aren't always meant to be followed

I've wasted life on these wasted years
Trying to be everything you want
Pride is such a loaded word

If I live my life like you want me to
Would you be proud of me
If I could prove to you by living in your shoes
Could you be proud of me
I don't have to sleep to live out my dreams
I'm wide awake to the fact that you reject me
If I live my life like you want me to
Would you be proud of me?

Why can't you see?
You're not the man I want to be!

7. Maybe Next May

This heart is yours so take it as you please
but if you walk away, remember
I need that heart to breathe

I always try so hard to be her right
and all she does is fight the reasons why
the future always seemed so bright
I don't know why she fears the light

you always try to hide and cover up the hurt inside
but I see through your lies
you know i'm what you need and I need you to breathe
so wont you take

this heart is yours so take it as you please
but if you walk away, remember
I need that heart to breathe

oh, if you've seen what ive seen you should know
you'd know its not a good thing to let go
three years of constant devotion
are gone with our destructive emotions.
our love that once was lays in waste
but i still offer you

this heart is yours so take it as you please
but if you walk away, remember
I need that heart to breathe

I need you now more than you know, why wont you come home?
I need my heart to breathe

theres a part of me that still cant sleep at night
without you in my side
its getting harder and harder to berate
the farther and farther you get from me

this heart is yours so take it as you please
but if you walk away, remember
I need that heart to breathe

8. Fragile Figures

Lately I've been thinking that I'm not the one to play this part
Cause every sweet word that I write could never fix their hearts

I can't help but think
That someone else is living my dream
Because this means so much to me
Am I the man that you want
Or the man that I'm supposed to be?

Am I the man I'm supposed to be
Or did they get the whole thing wrong? 
These days I wish I never wrote a single song 
For you to sing along
I'm just so scared to find I'm wrong 
Cause I've chased these dreams for way too long

I let the hate of the world fill my head with doubt
I wont let their voices drown me out

You are the reason, I do this for you not myself

Am I the man I'm supposed to be
Or did they get the whole thing wrong? 
These days I wish I never wrote a single song 
For you to sing along
I'm just so scared to find I'm wrong 
Cause I've chased these dreams for way too long

When you want me to fail
And stand in my way
I'll use your hate to fuel my rage

9. Live Together, Die Alone

Break free from this feeling in me
If you just give a little all you gotta do is trust me
Break free from this feeling in me
If you just give a little all you gotta do is trust me

Attached at the hip I need some room to breathe
These emotions are getting the best of me
I can finally see it was you all along
And looking back now I realize where I went wrong

Every one knows you, everyone knows
You replace the pain with vanity
Maybe one day, maybe one day, you will see
You're the reason we're done
Everyone knows, everyone knows
You replace the pain with vanity
Maybe one day, maybe you'll say
I'm the reason we're done

It's because of you Ill never be alright
Because of you I'm losing sleep at night
I've tried, I've tried, I'm losing my mind

Because of you I still find it hard to move on

Oh my god you're killing me
Now drop the act you pity queen
I'll keep you here just shut your mouth
Just let me have my way with you

Every one knows you, everyone knows
You replace the pain with vanity
Maybe one day, maybe one day, you will see
You're the reason we're done
Everyone knows, everyone knows
You replace the pain with vanity
Maybe one day, maybe you'll say
I'm the reason we're done

Even if I had a heart I wouldn't waste it on you

Lets see this as it really is a part of me you'll always have, but we don't really care at all
I hate this thing inside of me that keeps you far away from me, but deep down this is who we are

Every one knows you, everyone knows
You replace the pain with vanity
Maybe one day, maybe one day, you will see
You're the reason we're done
Everyone knows, everyone knows
You replace the pain with vanity
Maybe one day, maybe you'll say
I'm the reason we're done

10. Infinite Escape

We are the broken the haunted the bleeding 
We are the children who's ears that you're feeding
We built this house with our blood sweat and tears 
It's a home for the lonely, so bring us your fears

You're not as hopeless as you think
You mean everything
Let music take away the pain
To be your infinite escape
You're not as hopeless as you think (the bond of unity)
Let music take away the pain

You lack the heart the soul the dream 
You lack the courage and everything between
Give up the act your tyranny won't get you in
Before you judge me you better think again

If we stand together, we can burn this motherfucker down

You're not as hopeless as you think
You mean everything
Let music take away the pain
To be your infinite escape
You're not as hopeless as you think (the bond of unity)
Let music take away the pain
To be your infinite escape

This world has taken so much from me but 
I refuse to let it keep me down I'll always be free
These are my brothers, we have each other
And that's all I need 

You're not as hopeless as you think
You mean everything
Let music take away the pain
To be your infinite escape
You're not as hopeless as you think (the bond of unity)
Let music take away the pain
To be your infinite escape

11. Sleep Well, Darling

Who said love should be this hard
Who said hearts should break apart?
I know, maybe I should mend this
Pull out the glue, maybe I can fix this

I'd approve of this change
If the change hadn't meant you changed how you felt about me
It's a treacherous thing, when the one that you love is finding a new love

You're running away from things that matter more than you know
You're chasing a love that could never love you as much as I do

My eyes have seen these streets, I've walked this road
Every time I look back all I see is your face, my darling
My eyes have seen these streets, I've walked this road
Every time I speak my words just say, "don't go" my darling

There's some things that I'm left with
That make me believe this is hard
Like the bed that we slept in
It's filled with the scent of our love

I can still hear your laughter bounce off the walls of our home
Late at night when you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me?

You're running away from things that matter more than you know
You're chasing a love that could never love you as much as I do

My eyes have seen these streets, I've walked this road
Every time I look back all I see is your face, my darling
My eyes have seen these streets, I've walked this road
Every time I speak my words just say, "don't go" my darling

12. Dance Of The Dead

[Bonus Track]

I've broken my bones, sat there and listened for you
I keep on falling
I'm on the way down I hope you'll catch me soon,
I hope you'll catch me soon

Attention to love, to life, to all that's right
I'm wondering why you're letting me fall so far
From what I've chased my entire life

Through the darkest of nights, with no hope for a light
I bled for you (I bled for you)
When you were broken, alone and you needed me most
I bled for you (I bled for you)

So
Please give me one good reason I should keep believing in a goddamn thing when
This thing inside of me, I've never seen
It's telling me to give up, move on and forget my life
But in the end you'll see this is the difference between you and me

I've broken my bones, sat there and listened for you
I keep on falling
I'm on the way down I hope you'll catch me soon,
But you're not coming
I've broken my bones, sat there and listened for you
I keep on falling
I'm on the way down I hope you'll catch me soon,
I hope you'll catch me soon

Shut us out from more
Shut us out from more

I'll carry on, through the bitter days
I'll carry on, through this hell you pave
I try to stand tall, I try to stand tall
But it's so hard to live when there's nothing at all

It's never enough, should I give up now?
It's never enough, you shouldn't give up now
You drowned me alone, I'll carry on, carry on
You drowned me alone, I'll carry on, carry on

I've broken my bones, sat there and listened for you
I keep on falling
I'm on the way down I hope you'll catch me soon,
But you're not coming
I've broken my bones, sat there and listened for you
I keep on falling
I'm on the way down I hope you'll catch me soon,
I hope you'll catch me soon

We struggle at best, but keep wanting more.
You can't reach the top without feeling the floor.
We struggle at best, but keep wanting more.
You can't reach the top without feeling the floor.
We struggle at best, but keep wanting more.
You can't reach the top without feeling the floor.
Fuck!
You can't reach the top, you can't reach the top
You can't reach the top without feeling the floor

13. Heartbreak Kids

[Bonus Track]

Woah-oah-oh, woah-oah-oh-oh
Woah-oah-oh, woah-oah-oh-oh

This time, I'm serious, this time
This time, I'm serious, this time it's serious
It's as bad as it looks, this hurts just like it should
The perfect place at the perfect time
Where I was yours and baby you were mine
You gave me something to believe in, but I'm not believing

Just run, (Just run),
You've won, I'm broken, it's done
Is this, (Is this),
Is this your idea of fun?
When dealing with the pro in breaking hearts
Just run (Just run),
Just run.

Woah-oah-oh, woah-oah-oh-oh
Woah-oah-oh, woah-oah-oh-oh

Does anybody else feel this way?
Does everybody else hurt the same?
I just have to go, (Go!)
Run away from this town!
Change my name of the grave from your burial ground!
I just want you to know (Know!)
I had to let you go!

Just run, (Just run),
You've won, I'm broken, it's done
Is this, (Is this),
Is this your idea of fun?
When dealing with the pro in breaking hearts
Just run (Just run),
Just run.
We were golden, but now we're broken
You're the artist of our destruction
We were golden, but now we're broken
You're the artist of our destruction
We were golden, but now we're broken
(Before you took the world from me, before you axe the wounds at sea)
You're the artist of our destruction
(With your hands around my neck, I don't have a heart worth breaking!)

I'll run, you've won, I'm broken, it's done
Is this, is this your idea of..

Just run, (Just run),
You've won, I'm broken, it's done
Is this, (Is this),
Is this your idea of fun?
When dealing with the pro in breaking hearts
Just run (Just run),
Just run.
Just run, (Just run),
You've won, (You've won!)
I'm broken, it's done
Is this, (Is this),
Is this your idea of fun?
When dealing with the pro in breaking hearts
Just run (Just run),
Just run.

14. The Wild

[Bonus Track]

You're the worst part of me!
Because, when I gave you my soul, I didn't get one back,
And it was never enough but it was all I had
(All I had)

If you could, take me back to the way things were and maybe,
I could take back all the words I told her.
I could take back my soul, take back what's mine,
And baby I won't take you back for the first time.

And finally, I'm free to fly without you here by my side.
Now that these restraints have lifted, it feels like the weight has shifted.
And finally, I'm free to soar without you here to block the door
And I can finally fly.

My mind is littered with photos of you, and I'm burning them one by one.
I'm just another bitter face in your heartless fucking book.
I gave you everything and that's exactly what you took.
Get her out of my head!
Get her out of my head!
Get her out of my head!
Get her out of my head!

And finally, I'm free to fly without you here by my side.
Now that these restraints have lifted, it feels like the weight has shifted.
And finally, I'm free to soar without you here to block the door
And I can finally fly.

I'm bruised and broken, damaged goods, and severely misunderstood.
It took this long to realise, that this too shall pass and I'll learn to live again.
This too shall pass and I'll learn to live again.
I'll learn to live again.

Finally I'm free to fly without you here by my side.
Now that these restraints have lifted, it feels like the weight has shifted.
And finally I'm free to fly without you here by my side.
Now that these restraints have lifted, it feels like the weight has shifted.
And finally I'm free to soar without you here to block the door
And I can finally fly.
And I can finally fly.
This too shall pass and I'll learn to love again.
