Part Of This 02:28
Be still and listen No more hiding in the dark from what you feel Be still Be still and listen No more hiding in the dark from what you feel I won't be hiding in the dark from what I feel We can't be hiding in the dark from what we feel No more hiding in the dark from what you feel No more hiding your heart from what is real No more hiding in the dark, oh, 'cause you chose to be a part of this No hiding in the dark from what you feel Over and under emotions like thunder then gone with the wind, oh, no room for regret though you'll never forget the bitter taste of your sins If you feel it inside you than you're still alive, let me hear you say "oh yeah" Always remember to never forget all of those places you have been No more hiding in the dark from what you feel No more hiding your heart from what is real No more hiding in the dark, oh, 'cause you chose to be a part of this No hiding in the dark from what you feel

Well I know what I want so I strive A double dose of what I'm loving most and baby I ride I didn't get what I came here for 'cause I'm not full Give it up, give it up, give it up I'm diving in for more And I know what I want so I strive. And I think that we all want to be happy Well I know it's there just a little out of reach and I can't sleep A little bit of this, a little bit of that, a little bit of love, a little bit of you, a little bit of me I know I didn't get what I came here for 'cause I'm not full Give it up, give it up, give it up I'm diving in for more And I think that we all want be Hell, I know that we all want to be happy Know that life is oh so short We have time not to wait, no So give all you could ever give And take all you can take Once and only once we play So I spread this disease Pushing, fighting, always wanting Wanting always to be Happy (...And I think that we all want to be, hell, I know that we all want to be...)

It's cold, oh it's cold Build fire to keep our bones warm The stars are brighter The stars much higher Than I recall Than I recall But fear we not Fear no more Soon we will, soon we'll be home The air is different It's thinner than before The things I see here We don't see them back home The water crashing Waves dancing along the shore Along the shore But fear we not Fear no more Soon we'll be, soon we'll be home No more noise No more tears Soon we'll be, soon we'll be home Home The search must be over now We'll call this place our home Get food and shelter And new ways to carry on We'll go on growing And loving like we should Just keep on living The worst is over So fear we not Fear is gone Here we've made, here we've made home No more noise No more tears Here we've found, here we've found... Home

I couldn't tell by the way that you look at me I couldn't tell by the tone in your voice I couldn't tell you that the tension here ain't toxic I couldn't tell you I would change it if I had the choice No, I'm not lyin' I wouldn't tell you I was happy if I really wasn't I wouldn't tell you I was full if I was starving, no no I wouldn't tell you I won't fight with all limbs broken I couldn't tell you I'll be sleeping with my one eye open tonight No, I'm not lyin' I wouldn't tell you it was love if it wasn't the truth I wouldn't tell you that you didn't have me feeling so blue sometimes I wouldn't tell you I don't love all the little noises you make I couldn't tell you I would change it if I had the choice, baby No, I'm not lyin' I'm not lyin'

Well now I'm waiting, and I'm sitting in my car waiting, I got the windows rolled up and I'm baking, and the people driving by are waving but there's nothing to wave about, and-a something got me going in a hurry, yeah, but there's something seem a little, kinda furry here but I got no time to worry Somebody take the wheel Take me away from here Got what I needed now I'll go Got what I needed now I'm gone Well now I'm moving and the people in my way are cruising for a bruising that I'm giving now move it. Is something funny 'cause this isn't a movie and there's nothing to laugh about, and if you want to see-a something crazy, come back around and baby, maybe I'll make it crazy Somebody take the wheel Take me away from here I got what I needed and I will go Got what I needed now I'm gone Driving for hours after hours, the sun it goes away But it comes back around, wait and you'll see Driving from daylight on to night-time But it come's back around, wait and you'll see Oh, wait and see Somebody take the wheel Take me away from here I Got what I needed and I will go I Got what I needed now I'm gone

I can't sleep Up in the middle of the night My body's tired, oh, but my head is wired With too much to drink, oh, and not enough to smoke It leads me to think I'm at the butt of a joke I've got to move I've got to run Back to that place Where it'd all begun With all tables turned and all bridges burned And not a lesson learned No not a lesson learned And all these problems well they are mine I will search to find what may cause them all In a matter of time I soon will remind All these problems they are mine Do I see an end? Everyday I wake and I pretend Everything is grand And my toes, they are buried under sand And I know that I can leave but I don't wanna And I know no-one can see now but they're gonna But I just can't let me be Let me be, cannot let me be Well, have you ever met the devil? Well I can tell you, you are never too far gone In your heaven a little hell will rise Feeling defeated, what's done is done There's no more running No more wondering No more guessing where this good has gone Oh, with these bloodshot eyes I will soon realize That all these problems are mine. Another night, it brings another moon Well, I'm still awake How much can a man take? And then another day Yeah, brings another sun Well, I'm coming undone You got me coming undone And all these bottles, they are mine I will search to find why I need them so In the hours that pass The time that remains I feel I must ask... Well have you ever met the devil? Well I can tell that you are never too far gone In your heaven a little hell will rise Feeling defeated, what's done is done There's no more running No more wondering No more guessing where this good has gone With these bloodshot eyes I will soon realize That all these problems are mine.

Let's see what we can do with what we have Forget the finer things in life Through the storms and under waves we still found time to dance If this is my one life I will live it right I'll take my chance Close your eyes and feel the noise, forever may be quick Now there's no light on inside of my head No I'm not blind but I see nothing So my friend will you dance? Will you take a chance? All those doors that were open, they have closed Never to open again And the words of the wise men that we quote Barely mean a thing And the answers to the questions we pose... Shout out if you're not losing sleep Shout out if you're doing alright No I'm not deaf but I hear nothing Be it heaven or hell Watch me dance you will All those doors that were open, they have closed Never to open again And the words of the wise men that we quote Barely mean a thing And the answers to the questions we pose Tell me, tell me, what's it gonna be? Through those doors that I opened, I will go All those words, so wise, you'll all quote And the answers to the questions we pose Tell me, tell me, what's it gonna be?

Wearing nothing but skin and bones This burning need to flee won't leave me alone So as of now I keep on keepin' on This burning need to flee won't leave me Keep on keepin' on, yeah Keep on keepin' on, I want you to Keep on, keep on keepin' on Wearing nothing but silhouettes No regrets and you will surely find your way to the moon There's nothing there for you to expect Except a smile a wave and a whisper I will see you soon Keep on keepin' on, even after I'm gone 'Cause we both know two rights, well it never makes a wrong Keep on keepin' on, until that keepin's been kept And hope to see it soon 'cause I haven't seen it yet, no I said keep on, keep on keepin' on So finally you think you reached the stars Lassoed the moon and you claim the planet yours Oh my friend I think you might have misunderstood No prize to be won, just got to keep on Keep on keepin' on, even after I'm gone 'Cause we both know two rights well it never makes a wrong Keep on keepin' on, until that keepin's been kept And I hope to see it soon 'cause I haven't seen it yet, no I said keep on, keep on keepin' on

Well, it was dark in the middle of my day And a man on the bench there, I sat next to him oh, he says "Run if you can" Sky grew grey as I looked up ahead And the man on the bench there started laughing so I ran And the ocean's eyes are wide and all dry land will be soaked soon And the sky has lost it's grip, we're drifting further from the moon So I will find a better place to rest my head and watch the world go down Well, I was lost in the middle of my town And this woman on the floor she yells "Help me! Help me!" I said Oh, there's no such thing And the sky lit up the, the sun came pouring down A little bit of hope is what I thought I had found There's no such thing The ocean's eyes are wide and all dry land will be soaked soon And the sky has lost it's grip, we're drifting further from the moon Panic growning, the chaos showing, a nightmare come true
