Give Up Your Ghosts The ghost that used to haunt my bones is feeding on the innocent he calls your name to hold you close but when he screams your name its dissenate and I would find a better way (better way) If I could honestly say (honestly I never said that I would care) That I would care if you're afraid (you're afraid) but I'm not here to keep you safe I was lost but I'll find my way again I've been gone for some time breathe in deep, deeper now as deep as you can In due time you'll be fine In due time you'll be fine you'll be fine, you'll be fine

Growing Young and Aging Poorly You break your wrist to grasp at things that you can't have and you don't deserve so I've heard and I broke your legs so you can't run from what I have to say but honestly I should have let you get away I wanna feel the ocean air brush across my face to wash all of my indecency away I wanna feel the weight of the world just stretch my body out and tell me I will love again, I'll love again If the worst is over when does the best start? If distance makes the heart grow fonder why did I fall apart, when you were leaving again? I'll come around If I can stand my ground I'll come around All the things I could have said If I could only find the words to say and all the lies I could have told if my tongue wouldn't get in the way and all the hearts I could have broke If I could only find the strength but I was so much younger then, Yeah I was so much younger then You break your wrist to grasp at things that you can't have and you don't deserve so I've heard and I broke your legs so you can't run from what I have to say but honestly I should have let you get away If the worst is over when does the best start? If distance makes the heart grow fonder why did I fall apart, when you were leaving again? I'll come around If I can stand my ground I'll come around I'll come around I'll come around I'll come around I'll come around if I can stand my ground I'll come around

The Visionary I was holding your hand in a loose and unloving fashion until I fell asleep to the sound of your heart beating without any compassion I was losing myself I took a train to the next town It was the last chance that I had to feel alive (Oohs) and when I opened my eyes I was hoping I was here for something, praying that I wasn't made for nothing and when I lost all control you know, I know, I told, you so. I don't want to, but I have to I don't need you, but I have you (Oohs) I don't want to, but I have to I don't need you, but I have you and when I opened my eyes I was hoping I was here for something, praying that I wasn't made for nothing and when I lost all control you know, I know, I told, you so.

I'm Losing My Mind I was afraid of, the way you'd react to this when I came down from my trip and I was afraid of the songs you would sing, and if they would just freak me out but I had this coming and I I don't want to be mistreated, I don't want to be mislead, I just want to be missed and I I don't want to be mistaken, for another young misfit I don't want to lose my mind, but I'm losing my mind. Held my head to the sky and prayed that I wouldn't feel like this forever (held my head to the sky) Held my head to the sky and prayed that it would never fall down upon me (held my head to the sky) Hold my hand hold it tight and pray that I will breathe again in a moment (Hold my hand hold it tight, hold it tight, hold it tight) break these walls in my head, pass the stained glass, and the pain because, I'm not breaking down, I'm just breaking myself in and I learned my lesson once but I was just a kid back then and if you get the nerve to ask me how I sleep, the answer is on my left side and its comfortably, comfortably. I'm not breaking down, I'm just breaking myself in and I learned my lesson once but I was just a kid back then and if you get the nerve to ask me how I sleep, the answer is on my left side and its comfortably, comfortably.

The Lust, The Eyes, The Flesh I was in a cage kept safe away from the people I'd loved and the people I was yet to save but I'd become obsessed with a whore that deserved nothing better than a hole in her chest She had a body of beauty my eyes shouldn't fall in love with out any feeling. she tamed me like a horse she ran and I waited I was wronged I was jaded Oh, When did it because customary to fall in love when you're so young well, you're born alone, you'll die alone and everyone will see how miserable you're truly meant to be. We all self medicate, it just depends on what you do that makes you who you are (we all self medicate it just depends on what you do that makes you who you are) I don't want to be the last to know, I don't want to be the last to sing. Oh, When did it because customary to fall in love when you're so young well, you're born alone, you'll die alone and everyone will see how miserable you're truly meant to be. Oh, When did it because customary to fall in love when you're so young well, you're born alone, you'll die alone and everyone will see how miserable you're truly meant to be.

The Composure, The Compromise I would find the perfect plan, If I wasn't blinded by it For I am only human I bleed when I am cut I'm starved when I'm not fed. But I will learn from this. Think twice before you go I don't think I'm ready to take this on alone Think twice before you go I don't think I'm ready to take this on alone The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked who can know it? Think twice before you go I don't think I'm ready to take this on alone Think twice before you go I don't think I'm ready to take this on alone The composure, the compromise the constant battle between whats wrong and right The composure, (The composure) The compromise (the compromise) the constant battle between whats wrong and right Think twice before you go I don't think I'm ready to take this on alone Think twice before you go I don't think I'm ready to take this on alone The composure, (think twice before you go) the compromise the constant battle between whats wrong and right The composure, (think twice before you go) The compromise the constant battle between whats wrong and right but who can know it?

Diagnosis: 03:22
Diagnosis: Who ever says patience is a virtue, they must not have met you because you confuse it with stubbornness you say you haven't slept in days well i think you can't sleep with the thought of me on you're brain but don't you worry because I'm leaving soon I can't stand to see the things you consume when you're alone in your living room you're talking to who, whoever will listen to you when you say I guess we all fall in love some day We were gone before the birds did their dance of the day and wed lost before we'd ever had the chance to win we were hoarding all of the love we had made in the past and we were dead before death was established we got old we were together but we were still alone (ohh) I hope it hurts to know you need to be needed and no one needs you no more (no one needs you no more) you make love just to make it you kiss hard but you fake it you wanna love like you loved me.
