Life

We gotta survive, we gotta stick to the plan we have If there's a way to go faster, we shouldn't hesitate, no We need to be free, we need to be ourselves Let no shortcut take, no easy way out Remember where you come from and who you used to be Learn the lesson, set us free How, we're heading for tomorrow Hanging on yesterday Looking for a place to call home No, don't let your past decide It's a fate you can't deny Going to a place to call home Feel the need to survive, feel the blood run cold Catch the wind and ride the sails like there's no tomorrow Remember where you come from and who you used to be Learn the lesson, set us free How, we're heading for tomorrow Hanging on yesterday Looking for a place to call home No, don't let your past decide It's a fate you can't deny Going to a place to call home How, we're heading for tomorrow Hanging on yesterday Looking for a place to call home No, don't let your past decide It's a fate you can't deny Going to a place to call home It's a place to call home

Is it worth keeping what's in-between As your stuck knee-high in the laundry of life Beam me up, Scotty, and take me higher Helio’s defense as he burns my skin Teaching me all of what lies within Ride your fire and take your win Power up and let it ride Who flipped the switch in you tonight Oh oh oh You're the golden child, saddle up let's ride Oh oh oh You can’t run from Helio's sun Is it worth begging for first in line Drop your ass like a little boy Just ask daddy for a brand new toy Keep all your keepsakes for you and yours Strangle the past and all's ignored Banged your head on a cotton floor Power up and let it ride (let it ride) Who flipped the switch in you tonight Oh oh oh You're the golden child, saddle up let's ride Oh oh oh You can't run from Helio's sun What have you done Oh oh oh You're the golden child, saddle up let’s ride Oh oh oh You can’t run from Helio Oh oh oh You're the golden child, saddle up let’s ride Oh oh oh You can't run from Helio's sun You can't run

When you give it all you've got, it never seems enough On the climb to the top of the mountain If you reach a little more, in the words it all became Just words on a page, the page of your life I don't want to fade away like this Was it all worth it now, or regret your every hour? Has it come to your defense, or making you a liar? Was it easy come and go? Are you the star of your own show? Do you contemplate what's right as you turn the page of your life? Is it gonna dig a little more into the future you ignore? How many nights you lie awake? (I don't want to fade away like this) I don't want to fade away like this Was it all worth it now, or regret your every hour? Has it come to your defense, or making you a liar? Was it easy come and go? Are you the star of your own show? Do you contemplate what's right as you turn the page of your life? It takes every bit of strength to hold on Are you losing your grip every inch along your way? Was it all worth it now, or regret your every hour? Has it come to your defense, or making you a liar? Was it easy come and go? Are you the star of your own show? Do you contemplate what's right as you turn the page of your life? As you turn the page of your life...

Crawling in the darkness, I cannot breathe here That's your quest for sadness Walking through the shadows of people watching Can they wake up on their own? Trying to reach the light above as life sucks me in Abnegation drives us all We keep running, running out of time We used to live our lives together, we needed nothing more Running, running out of time Now we just survive to carry on Can you smell the freedom with full pockets? Pay a visit to your doom Blinded by your golden gods who always beat us down Are you in for the odds? Trying to reach the light above as life sucks me in Abnegation drives us all We keep running, running out of time We used to live our lives together, we needed nothing more Running, running out of time Now we just survive to carry on Who could come forth Still spinning out of control at the end of the road We keep running, running out of time We used to live our lives together, we needed nothing more Running, running out of time Now we just survive to carry on To carry on We're running, running

I stand corrected, lie here dead wrong Sheltered and protected, what have I become Take it to the limit, hoping for more Tangled up and twisted alone Walking in a circle, waiting for the out Look out below Help me one more time through one more crime Wherever I go Feed me with your fire, your words of desire Hold, hold on to right and all that is right How can you face it in the mirror of lies? In your footsteps you're retracing, just a page of pure whys Take it to the limit, hoping for more Tangled up and twisted alone Walking in a circle, waiting for the out Look out below Help me one more time through one more crime Wherever I go Feed me with your fire, your words of desire Hold, hold on to right Take me to somewhere where I can hide Cover me with warmth there so I'll survive Don't shelter what's right Don't shelter what's right Don't shelter what's right Hold on to right Help me one more time through one more crime Wherever I go Feed me with your fire, your words of desire Hold Help me one more time through one more crime Wherever I go Feed me with your fire, your words of desire Hold, hold on to right Hold on to right

How can I keep myself far from you? Is there a way to keep me from falling down? How can I keep myself far from you? Is there a way to keep me from falling down, falling down? I cannot lose another fight I'm not down again I keep asking with all my might For help from the Lord above Oh, I've got another stand to take Since I turned around and had this spell to break Ooh, I couldn't wait any longer to walk away With a handful of sand Who said that you need the blues to sing your songs When your heart cries, ain't no melody strong enough, strong enough I cannot lose another fight I'm not down again I keep asking with all my might For help from the Lord above Oh, I've got another stand to take Since I turned around and had this spell to break Ooh, I couldn't wait any longer to walk away With a handful of sand A handful of sand With a, with a handful of sand Oh, I've got another stand to take Since I turned around and had this spell to break Ooh, I couldn't wait any longer to walk away With a handful of sand A handful of sand Sand

Woah, oh Woah, oh Woah, oh When did we know? Where did it show? Did you see it written on my face How did you feel, make believe or real Living in a moment made for us There's no question, no mistaking In my heart for you I'm aching I belong to you and you to me I may not know it all, tangled words and saying them wrong But what I do know you know, I know this love I may not be a king with a fortress to live in But what I do know you know, I know this love When did we know? Where did it show? Did you see it written on my face When the time will come for two to be one Wipe your tears and listen to this song There's no question no mistaking In my heart for you I'm aching I belong to you and you to me I may not know it all, tangled words and saying them wrong But what I do know you know, I know this love I may not be a king with a fortress to live in But what I do know you know, I know this love I know this love There's no question no mistaking In my heart for you I'm aching I belong to you and you to me I may not know it all, tangled words and saying them wrong But what I do know you know, I know this love I may not be a king with a fortress to live in But what I do know you know, I know this love I may not know it all, tangled words and saying them wrong But what I do know you know, I know this love I may not be a king with a fortress to live in But what I do know you know, I know this love Did you see it written on my face

Dig me up like a piece of gold From the depths below, I'm rare, I'm told Step inside my truth and believe Clock strikes fast and easily Where is all the time I left behind? I tripped and fell across mother time Oh that's right, it's good to be alive Oh that's right, you can't fight it It's like 1, 2, 3, as I live and breathe This is the story of my life I let it resonate, oh it's never too late This is the story of my life Dig me up like a piece of trash Shade me from the visions of past Time, it passes like the setting sun Remember what you keep is what you become Oh that's right, it's good to be alive Oh that's right, you can't fight it It's like 1, 2, 3, as I live and breathe This is the story of my life I let it resonate, oh it's never too late This is the story of my life It's like 1, 2, 3, as I live and breathe This is the story of my life I let it resonate, oh it's never too late This is the story of my life What's the story of your life, woah Dig me up like a piece of gold From the depths below I'm rare I'm told Woah!

There's no time for us There’s no place for us What is this thing that builds our dreams Yet slips away from us? Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever? Ooh... There's no chance for us It's all decided for us This world has only one sweet moment Set aside for us Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever? Ooh, oh... Who dares to love forever Woah, when love must die? But touch my tears with your lips Touch my world with your fingertips And we can have forever And we can love forever Forever is our today Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever? Forever is our today Who waits forever anyway?

Can you take it, can you take it Can you take it, oh, come on! Yeah, alright! Rugged times, keep your head up tough Heated time to cool off Twist and turn through a maze of dust Brush it off and move on Walk into a wall, make it crumble and crush Tuck your fear in your pocket Paint your picture, smear it on, smear it off Like you're numb and feel nothing Whether it's falling down on me Pick up the pieces one by one Here to stay having too much fun, you better Show your colors, don't run from others and You don't need to be a chameleon One foot sinking and got one slipping but You can see me, I'm no, I'm no chameleon Give it a taste, you might feed your soul Better to try or go hungry Wake your ass up it's a quarter to ten You get, you get nothing for nothing Rubble is falling down on me, go ahead and let it Pick up the pieces one by one Here to stay having too much fun ya better Show your colors, don't run from others and You don't need to be a chameleon One foot sinking and got one slipping but You can see me, I'm no, I'm no chameleon Chameleon Chameleon You better show your colors, don't run from others and You don't need to be a chameleon One foot sinking and got one slipping but You can see me, I'm no, I'm no chameleon Show your colors, don't run from others and You don't need to be a chameleon One foot sinking and got one slipping but You can see me, I'm no, I'm no chameleon Chameleon, show your colors
