Lyrics

1. EXODUS

The stage is set, the disillusion begins
You tell yourself that you can't believe them
They're gonna say what they want you to hear,
You should be dead now just like the rest

You took your shots, and I swallowed the bullets
You did your worst and I'm dying to prove it
They're gonna say what they want you to hear,
You should be dead now just like the rest

They'll forget you, and everything that you are
Stop pretending, you're just like the rest

I'm where you wanna be, and I can see straight till the end.
When the lights go out you know that it's all or it's nothing.
I know that we, we will hold our own.
When the lights go out you know that it's all or it's nothing.

We won't fall!

The stage is set, the panic's starting to grow
You see the terror in no tomorrow
They're gonna say what they want you to hear,
You should be dead now just like the rest

They will forget you, and everything that you are
So stop pretending, you're just like the rest

I'm where you wanna be, and I can see straight till the end.
When the lights go out you know that it's all or it's nothing.
I know that we, we will hold our own.
When the lights go out you know that it's all or it's nothing.

We won't fall!

This lives in all of us, this lives in all of you. [x3]

I can see in the light of your eyes, I can see through all the lies.
This lives in all of us, inside of all of us! [x2]

Inside of us all! (x2)


2. YOU WEAR A CROWN BUT YOU'RE NO KING

Watching your empire fall

You'll never stop till you get what you want
You think you have control
You tried to take mine
But I won't leave till I get what I want
Over and over bending and breaking

Watching your empire fall
Watching the ashes fall

Will it ever cross your mind?
I'm the man you'll never be
Think about me when you're all alone
Without someone to love
Without someone to love

Am I gonna be the last one standing?
How's it gonna feel when I'm on top
I guess I'll watch you walk away

Don't waste my time
You've got this upside down
What were you thinking of?
What were you thinking of?
You've got this upside down
What were you thinking of?
What were you thinking of?

Watching your empire fall
Watching the ashes fall

Will it ever cross your mind?
I'm the man you'll never be
Think about me when you're all alone
Without someone to love
You're out there on your own

Am I gonna be the last one standing?
How's it gonna feel when I'm on top
I guess I'll watch you walk away
And let your empire crumble

Am I gonna be the last one standing?
How's it gonna feel when I'm on top
I guess I'll watch you walk away
And let your empire crumble

You decide what's next for us
Over and over you sold me out
You decide what's next for us
Over and over bending and breaking

You decide what's next for us
You decide what's next for us

You'll never learn
You never will
You'll never learn
You never will

You decide what's next for us
You decide what's next for us


3. HOLLOW BODIES

Black souls, empty bodies
You had me fooled straight from the start
We pray for an answer.
We have to fight or be hollow just like them
Walking lifeless,
Have we been left for the dead?
Black souls, empty bodies
We have to fight or be hollow just like them

They're coming for us now (whoa)
So don't make a sound (whoa)
Is there anybody left to see the sun?
Is there anybody left to cure the dead?
Unaware and unawake
Unaware and unawake

Every city is burning,
We're all wasting away
Nothing will end this, nothing to prove
There's nowhere to run, all hell is breaking loose

They're coming for us now (whoa)
So don't make a sound (whoa)
Is there anybody left to see the sun?
Is there anybody left to cure the dead?
Unaware and unawake
Unaware and unawake

Something tells me we could be here for a while.
And all I know is if you can't run learn to die
And now I wonder if we'll make it through the night.
All I know is if you can't run learn to die

With the setting sun put the gun in my hand
Pull the trigger, don't fail me now
With the setting sun put the gun in my hand
Don't fail me now

It's starting again
We're going hollow
We're going hollow

Something tells me we could be here for a while.
And all I know is if you can't run learn to die
And now I wonder if we'll make it through the night.
All I know is if you can't run learn to die

Whoa, whoa
Don't fail me now

Whoa, whoa
Don't fail me now


4. DEJA VU

You have to find me save me
Just hear me out
I can't remember
All of my feelings
Someone save me
My time is over now
and it's not too long now
Just hear me out!

Is this a dream?
Where do I go?
Is this a dream?
Or my subconscious

It's too late
It's too late
They won't let me go
They're sinking around and around you.
As your heart starts to weaken
your body's the reason.
So how can you save them tonight?
As your heart starts to weaken
Your body's the reason
This is not enough
I fell asleep inside your arms
I fell asleep inside

I need to find myself (find myself)
Just let me help myself
find yourself
find yourself
Before it comes to an end!

Show me your face!
It's almost over now
Don't fade away!
We're not the same

It's too late
It's too late
They won't let me go
Were sinking around and around you
As your heart starts to weaken
Your body's the reason
So how can you save them tonight?
As your heart starts to weaken
Your body's the reason
This is not enough
I feel asleep inside your arms
I feel asleep inside your arms

I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away
I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away (Away)
I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away (Away)
I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away (Away)
I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away (Away)
I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away
(So how can you save them tonight?)
I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away
(This is not enough!)


5. BURIED IN THESE WALLS

I found hope in misery
Sewed my eyes shut so I could see
I won’t throw it away
I won’t throw it away

I found truth in your denial
And I’ll suffer for a while
I won’t throw it away
I won’t throw it away

(I won’t throw it away)

Can you take me to a better place?
Somewhere I feel safe
Till we’re far away?
Can you take me to a better place,
Far away?
I won’t, I won’t throw it away

(I won’t throw it away)

(I won’t throw it away)
I won’t throw it away


6. SEE YOU ON THE OUTSIDE

Don't think I didn't see how you looked at me
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
I've spent those sleepless nights
And I'm waiting for
And I'm waiting for you

Sometimes I'd rather lie...

Oh, we found love
It takes me farther than I've ever known
I thought she'd take a shot on us
You're my only one, still be mine
And I'll see you on the outside
(see you on the outside)

I never fall asleep I always fall apart
I'm hopeless at best on my own
And I wish that I could close my eyes, pretend that you'd be by my side
Cause all I wanted was a face to call my own
All I needed was a place that feels like home
I think I'm falling for you (falling for you)

Oh, we found love
It takes me farther than I've ever known
I thought she'd take a shot on us
You're my only one, still be mine
And I'll see you on the outside

Let's make our way out of town
This place has fallen apart
No one knows you like I do

Let's make our way out of town
This place has fallen apart
No one knows you like I do

Let's leave it all far behind
We'll make it out of here alive
Let's leave it all far behind
No one knows you like I do

Sometimes I'd rather lie

(we found love)
(takes me father than I ever knew)

Oh, we found love
It takes me farther than I've ever known
I thought she'd take a shot on us
You're my only one, still be mine
And I'll see you on the outside
Oh, I'll see you on the outside
Oh, I'll see you on the outside


7. YOUNGBLOODS (FT. JESSE BARNETT OF STICK TO YOUR GUNS)

If you can't find a dedication,
this life could swallow you whole!
If you can't find anything to believe in,
why are you still here?
I am far from perfect,
I am so full of sin.
Everyday you have the chance to take it.
Our time is now.
You're just a bitch!
And it was all a lie.

No one ever gave me anything,
what I have I earned!
And I'll take this to my grave.
Every time I turn around,
I see another face
trying to take me to my
take me to my grave.

What's there to fear?
Somehow I'll carry on.
(We'll all be dead in the end!
We'll all be dead in the end!)
I know you hear me,
for now I'll carry on.
We'll all be dead in the end!
We'll all be dead in the end!

Watch as we rise,
here until our time is over!
We'll all be dead in the end!
We'll all be dead in the end!
Watch as we rise,
here until our time is over!
We'll all be dead in the end!
We'll all be dead in the end!

The words you said,
it was all a lie.

Your reign is ending!
You never know when the time approaches!
Your reign is ending!
I've got the world on my back,
there's no way I'm ever giving up!

Your reign is ending!
You never know when the time approaches!
Your reign is ending!
I've got the world on my back,
there's no way I'm ever giving this up!

You will not be a part of this!
Don't kid yourself,
there's no room for you here!
You will not be a part of this!

You're just a fucking disgrace.


8. STANDING ON THE ASHES

There is a devil inside, staring out of her decay
She's left trying to turn it around, in search of clarity
I watched her from the surface, she's buried everything.
There is a devil inside trying to find its way out

Follow me, I feel like I can show you.
Give it up, put your faith in me.
Take your life in a new direction.

Follow me, I feel like I can show you.
Give it up, put your faith in me.
Take it all in a new direction.
Follow me, I feel like I can show you.
Give it up, put your faith in me.
Take your life in a new direction.

There is a devil inside, staring out of her decay
I can't keep looking down when it's right in front of me
I see you losing yourself again, don't let them in
I see you killing yourself again, the victim is you
The victim is you

Follow me, I feel like I can show you.
Give it up, put your faith in me.
Take it all in a new direction.
Follow me, I feel like I can show you.
Give it up, put your faith in me.
Take your life in a new direction.

She said, "I'm finally through the fog
And now I'm wide awake.
Feels like I've been gone for so long."
Give it up, put your faith in me.
Take your life in a new direction now,
New direction

You will burn! You will burn!

(You will burn! You will burn!)
I'm standing on the ashes of what you built for me
I'm standing on the ashes of what you built for me

I'll watch her ignite the flame, I'll watch her burn
I'll watch it incinerate, she's lost all faith in you

She's lost all faith in you


9. CARRY ON (FT. JAKE LUHRS OF AUGUST BURNS RED)

Your pessimism is drowning me out.
I keep on screaming but you're holding me under!
I tried so hard to get it through to you.
You think you're better than everyone else.

Don't act so desperate.
It's time to get over yourself,
it's time to get yourself,
and you look so miserable.
It's time to get over yourself,
it's time to get over yourself!

You're not worth my time,
you're so full of shit.
Don't go running your mouth again!
I caught you lying to them,
I caught you playing with fire!
Don't go searching for sympathy.
I caught you looking at them,
I caught you playing with fire!
You'll get nothing from me.

Don't act so desperate.
It's time to get over yourself.
And when you reach,
reach for me
you know that someday
I will carry on.
And when you fall,
fall away you know
that someday
I will carry on.
I'll carry on.

Don't go running your mouth again!
I caught you lying to them,
I caught you playing with fire!
Don't go searching for sympathy.
I caught you looking at them,
I caught you playing with fire!

And when you reach,
reach for me
you know that someday
I will carry on.

And when you reach,
reach for me
you know that someday
I will carry on.
And when you fall,
fall away
you know that someday
I will carry on.
I'll carry on.

Don't go running your mouth again!
Don't go running your mouth again!


10. THE SOUND OF STARTING OVER

I'm looking past the water, as far as I can see,
These mistakes that I've made are staring back at me.
So I'm ending where I started, I'm sinking in the sea.
It couldn't come much sooner, screaming back at me.

We've come so close to the end
Just to pick ourselves back up and start over again.
Without you, I'll start over again.

This is what I believe, you're never gonna take away as long as I'm around.
I can't forget, I won't stop now! It's in my blood I'll show you out.
This is what I believe, you're never gonna take away as long as I'm around,
And I know you'll never hear me now as long as I'm around!

Now crawling from the bottom, I'm digging my way out.
These bridges that I'm burning are slowly crashing down.
Not afraid of what I started, not afraid of going home,
If I never took my chances, I would never know.

Oh, and we've come so close to the end,
Just to pick ourselves back up and start over again.

This is what I believe, you're never gonna take away as long as I'm around.
I can't forget, I won't stop now! It's in my blood I'll show you out.
This is what I believe, you're never gonna take away as long as I'm around,
And I know you'll never hear me now as long as I'm around!

I can't forget, I won't stop now
This is what I believe
I can't forget, I won't stop now
This is what I believe
This is what I believe
This is what I believe

This is what I believe you're never gonna take away as long as I'm around.
I can't forget, I won't stop now! It's in my blood I'll show you out.
This is what I believe you're never gonna take away as long as I'm around,
And I know you'll never hear me now as long as I'm around!


11. OPEN WATER (ft. LIGHTS)

Love like a storm, like an ocean, endless
Love like a fire, like the world is burning
Should’ve known better, should’ve known better
But you see through all the lines and then
Prove I’m not like all of them
Should’ve known better, should’ve known better
(Ooo, ahh)

If your love is just a dream, don’t wake me up
It’s hard enough to face the world alone
If your love is just a dream, don’t wake me up
It’s hard enough to face the world alone

You are the one I waited for, I knew it all along
(Knew it all along)
You are the one I’m fighting for, I knew it all along

Love like a dream, like you’re never waking
Love like your last, like the sky is falling
Should’ve known better, should’ve known better
But you see through all the lines and then
Prove I’m not like all of them
Should’ve known better, should’ve known better
(Ooo, ahh)

You are the one I waited for, I knew it all along
(Knew it all along)
You are the one I’m fighting for, I knew it all along

Sing me something that’ll bring me to my knees
That’ll put my mind at ease
Please tell me anything
We can build this like a dream
Let’s make believe, just you and me (x2)

If your love is like a dream, don’t wake me up
It’s hard enough to face the world alone
If this love is just a dream, don’t wake me up
It’s hard enough to face the world alone

If your heart stops beating, God rest my soul
Dig this grave for two, can’t live without you
It’s hard enough to face the world alone
If your heart stops beating, God rest my soul
Dig this grave for two, can’t live without you
It’s hard enough to face the world alone

You are the one I waited for, I knew it all along.
