Do I Ever (Unplugged)_

Can’t sit around holding up my guard
Let it all go
Let it all go around go in and face the inevitable

Can’t figure out how to play my part
Where do I go?
How do I go around go in and make it inhabitable

Now let it all in

Cover up the arm that holds the weight
Raging on too long and all will stay
Unsolved

I let it throw me off my feet
I let it put me on my knees
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?

Can’t sit around hiding all my scars
Let them all show
Let them all know about go in and embrace the inevitable

Now let it all in

Cover up the arm that holds the weight
Raging on too long and all will stay
Unsolved

I let it throw me off my feet
I let it put me on my knees
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?

I let it throw me off my feet
I let it put me on my knees
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?

I let it
Take away all I could be
Take all the best of me away with it
I let it
Take away all I could see
Take all the best of me
Away with it

I let it throw me off my feet
I let it put me on my knees
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?
I’ll let it tell me who to be
I’ll let it show me what to see
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?

I let it throw me off my feet
I let it put me on my knees
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?

I let it tell me who to be
I let it show me what to see
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?
Do I ever?

Riddles (Unplugged)_

Get it now
Tell me how to get it now
To hold it in or let it out
Tell me to go, or stay

Headed now
Show me where we’re headed now
If only I’d have read the signs
I wouldn’t be here going to waste

I really don’t know
Oh, lost it a little
Don’t go, must be a riddle
Don’t you know
Oh, lost in your riddles
Lost in your riddles

Where we will go, we’ll be lost in the middle
Where we will go, I’ll be lost in your riddles

Better now
Tell me is it better now
To keep you right here by my side
Or have you like smoke, to fade
Settle down
If only I could settle down
I know that I’d have read the lines
And wouldn’t be here going to waste

But I really don’t know
Oh, lost it a little
Don’t go, must be a riddle
Don’t you know
Oh, I’m lost in your riddles
Lost in your riddles
But I really want to know
Oh, lost it a little
Don’t go, must be a riddle
Don’t you know
Oh, I’m lost in your riddles
Lost in your riddles

Where we will go, we’ll be lost in the middle
Where we will go, I’ll be lost in your riddles
Where we will go, we’ll be lost in the middle
Where we will go, I’ll be lost in your riddles

Where we will go, we’ll be lost in the middle
Where we will go, I’ll be lost in your riddles
Where we will go, we’ll be lost in the middle
Where we will go, I’ll be lost in your riddles

Bridges (Unplugged)_

Yet another unstable weekend
We bought our own praise with easy goals
And we’re off to sell it
As the greatest story told

Yet another ungraceful evening
Another man’s faith
An easy foe
And we’re off to shiver
In the face of the unknown

Though we long together
For the tables to turn
Though we pray together
For the bridges to burn
Still we stay cold

Yet another ungrateful weekday
We’re caught in a game
Where the winner takes all
And we’re off to tell it
As the greatest story told

Though we long together
For the tables to turn
Though we pray together
For the bridges to burn
Still we stay cold

Though we long together
For the tables to turn
Though we pray together
For the bridges to burn
Still we stay cold

We got carried away by it
We got carried away from home
We got carried away by it
We got carried away from home

Though we long together
For the tables to turn
Though we pray together
For the bridges to burn
Still we stay cold
Though we long together
For the tables to turn
Though we pray together
For the bridges to burn
Still we stay cold

We got carried away by it
We got carried away from home
We got carried away by it
We got carried away from home

All Before You (Unplugged)_

The longer we wait the better we get
One other good day and I’ll believe it
I want to be safe out here
Unharmed forever
Instead I will bathe in fear
Too fooled to get it

But I will warn you
That I’ve done this all before you
And I hoped I had it in me
But I just don’t get it
Yet
No

Why let it in if I won’t keep it?
Throw in a safe part of the flame
And I will feed it
And if I knew how to play sincere
I swear I’d do it
But every trace of tears
Will turn my head again

And I will warn you
That I’ve done this all before you
And I hoped I had it in me
But I just don’t get it
Yet

But I hope to
‘Cause I’ve seen this all before you
And I thought I had it in me
But I just don’t get It
Yet
No

How did I end up here?
All I give is worn out phrases
Cold embraces
How did I end up here?
All I give is worn out phrases
Cold embraces

But I will warn you
That I’ve done this all before you
And I hoped I had it in me
But I just don’t get it
Yet

But I hope to
‘Cause I’ve seen this all before you
And I thought I had it in me
But I just don’t get It
Yet
No

Insane (Unplugged)_

a seat on the stand
As you’re causing a row
There to proof again that I am
Just there in both the wrong time and the wrong place

I plead innocent
But you’re dragging me down
Down a road where I know I can’t
Get time to raise up my guard for you, can’t wait

‘Til I cave

It’s not the words
Not the fear or the doubt
Not the lack of heart that takes me out
It’s the knowing that you can’t relate
When you’re insane

Scenes of distress
They follow me around
‘Til I lose again and by then
(You might be calm but my head will explode)
I’m out of moves here
I swallow it down
Like a poison undefined that
Enters my veins like a thread that I can’t shake

‘Til I cave

It’s not the words
Not the fear or the doubt
Not the lack of heart that takes me out
It’s the knowing that you can’t relate
When you’re insane

It’s not the pain
Not the bruise or the scar
Not the lack of love that breaks me down
It’s the knowing that you can’t refrain
‘Cause you’re insane

I know I wait too long
Before I will break a bond
I know my body froze
My greatest loss

It’s not the words (not the words)
Not the fear or the doubt
Not the lack of heart that takes me out
It’s the knowing that you can’t relate
When you’re insane

It’s not the pain (not the pain)
Not the bruise or the scar
Not the lack of love that breaks me down
It’s the knowing that you can’t refrain
‘Cause you’re insane

Island (Unplugged)_

I don’t want to blame
I just want to leave this horrid place the way I came
But here we are again
I don’t want to wait
For another wave to come and rule another day

I don’t want to stay
I just want to wash away this vile and awful taste
But here we are again
Got nothing more to say
Only want to leave it and not seek for it again

And I’ll be an island
And the shore were I stand
Can’t be reached by more than waves
I told my sharks
That I need an island
For I know the violence
And I’ll make the same mistakes
Again

I don’t want a flame
I don’t want to risk a fire that leaves a toxic waste
But here we are again
And I don’t want to play
Only want to breathe again, be free and let it end

And I’ll be an island
And the shore were I stand
Can’t be reached by more than waves
I told my sharks
That I need an island
If it turns to violence
Then I swear I’ll drift away
I cross my heart

All will in time mend
When the moment is right, will the feeling die?
Who am I inside then?
When I know when I fight, all I want is to hide and

All will in time mend
When the moment is right, will the feeling die?
Who am I inside then?
When I know when I fight, all I want is to hide and

All will in time mend
When the moment is right, will the feeling die?
Who am I inside then?
When I know when I fight, all I want is to hide and

All will in time
When the moment is right, will the feeling die?
Who am I inside, who am I inside?
When I know when I fight, all I want is to hide and

And I’ll be an island
And the shore were I stand
Can’t be reached by more than waves
I told my sharks
That I need an island
If it turns to violence
Then I swear I’ll drift away
I crossed my heart

I know my heart
I know my heart
I know my heart
I sold my heart

I don’t want to blame
I just want to leave this horrid place the way I came
But here we are again

Chronos Part 1&2 (Unplugged)_

I’m told that I should not have seen it
I know that I could not obey
Demons line up to fade out our colors
All around

There’s not a fire that we’re not feeding
There’s not a bribe that we don’t take
Leave it undone and take out our mother
In her own home

Seen from miles away
No one moved

How did we lead it this far when we knew it was dead from the start?
How can we still disregard when we know that we tore it apart?

Now the lions are defeated
Now the tyrants are embraced
Demons line up and waves are uncovered
And it is all done

Seen from miles away
No one moved

How did we lead it this far when we knew it was dead from the start
How can we still disregard when we know that we tore it apart?
How did we lead it this far when we knew it was dead from the start?
If all we can feed on is bred within greed then I’d rather I starve

Sorry (Unplugged)_

Sorry for the road that I won’t take
For the words that I won’t say
For the love that I won’t give

Sorry for the heart that I won’t show
For the lengths that I won’t go
For the life that you won’t live

Sorry that I opened up my arms
You would never reach in time
Before they closed again

You will forget
And I won’t remember it
When all I ever did was race in circles
You will forget
And all there’s left will be
A faded memory
A dream you woke up from

Sorry for the oath that I won’t take
For the vows that I will break
For the role that I won’t play

Sorry that I’m raising up my walls
And whenever you reached over
You are thrown back to the start

You will forget
And I won’t remember it
When all I ever did was race in circles
You will forget
And all there’s left will be
A faded memory
A dream you woke up from

From the colour I would bring
To ending up again
Opening darkness
I wanted to hold you back from the colour I would bring
To ending up again
Opening darkness
I wanted to hold you back from
You will forget
And I won’t remember it
When all I ever did was race in circles
You will forget
And all there’s left will be
A faded memory
A dream you woke up from

Control (Unplugged)_

No control
How wonderful
How horrible
You see me guessing
Don’t you know?

Thoughts explode
Unconjurable
Unstoppable
You see me lacking
Won’t you grow?
Won’t you

Believe
That even now you’ll take hold
That even now you’ll beat it
Don’t you know?

Broke in two
How wonderful
How vulnerable
You see me laughing
Don’t you know?
Don’t you

Believe
That even now you’ll take hold
That even now you’ll beat it
Don’t you know?

Breathe in
And even now you’ll take hold
And lead it on till the end
Don’t you know?

And all that is freedom
And all that enslaves
I’ll never believe again

And all that is weakness
And all that is fake
Will never deceive again

Breathe in
And even now you’ll take hold
And even now you’ll beat it
Don’t you know?

Believe
And even now you’ll take hold
And even now you’ll beat it
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know?

Uncharted (Unplugged)_

No one knows just what to say
It’s like we’re in uncharted territory
No one knows the proper way
It’s like the ground has fallen from under me

And all sensible words
All sensible hearts
Oh where do they go
And why do they leave us now

And if I could go back again, I’ll go back again
If the worst is happening how does anything work
Now let me please go back again, I’ll go back again

No one knows what part to play
It’s like we’re in uncharted territory
No one knows another way
It’s like all grace in life has parted from me

And all sensible words
All sensible souls
Oh where do they go
And why do they leave us now

And all sensible words
All sensible hearts
Keep calling for course
A heading or buoy
Could the end be a start?
All sensible souls
Oh where do they go
And why do they leave us now

Little Light (Unplugged)_

Going out on a weekday
Hoping on to collide with a soul that
Knows a heart from a lie when you show it
Sees a heart in the lie that you show

I’ll deny all the weak play
Not a style that I take any pride in
But the greed of my mind isn’t going-
All the greed of my mind isn’t going away

Have some but I’ll be taking it all again
Yeah, I’ll be taking it all
And on my way
And on my way
I wanted it all

Hey, I can see a little light here
Know that I’m ready to fight
Oh, but I’ll run and I’ll hide again
Hey, I can see a little light there
Know I should get up and try
Oh, but I’m better at hiding it

Going out on a weekday
Knowing all of my pride will dissolve in
All the seeds of my mind that are growing
Oh, the seed of my mind isn’t going away

Have some but I’ll be taking it all again
Yeah, I’ll be taking it all
And on my way
And on my way
I wanted it all

Hey, I can see a little light here
Know that I’m ready to fight
Oh, but I’ll run and I’ll hide again
Hey, I can see a little light there
Know I should get up and try
Oh, but I’m better at hiding it

When I’ll wait for the dueling to get a little cold again
Then no one but I will know me
When all of my light ends
When I’ll wait for the dueling to get a little cold again
Then no one but I will know me
When all of my light ends

When I’ll wait, can see a little light here
Know that I’m ready to fight
Oh, but I’ll run and I’ll hide again
When I’ll wait, can see a little light here
Know I should get up and try
Oh, but I’m better at hiding it

Perfect Family Day (Unplugged)_

Focus on the rain
Dripping through every hole
Every night’s the same

God has left this place
Left us on his way out
Risen questions stay

And it hopelessly went wrong
This tiresome masquerade
A perfect family day
Tragically displayed

Cover up these stains
Keeping up appearances
Jaded smiles remain

Watching fate take place
We’re sulking and we’re stumbling through
Grey and spiteful days

And it hopelessly went wrong
This tiresome masquerade
A perfect family day
Tragically displayed

All For Nothing (Unplugged)_

Hurry up now, don’t you know that I’m waiting
For the way you will find how to ruin it all
All that you’re bending is all that I’m breaking
For the way you will build is the way you will fall

And I know that I’ll be ready
Or I’ll be dead again
I know in my head
I know in my heart
That I’ll be better
Than I would’ve ever been
Or all that we had
Was all for nothing after all

Hurry up now, don’t you see that I’m fading
Into older man’s grey and oblivion light
Who would I be to forgive and embrace when
When your talk is as low as your head is high

Is it all we live for, now I see you don’t get it
When you call it a loss and I call it a win

And I know that I’ll be ready
Or I’ll be dead again
I know in my head
I know in my heart
That I’ll be better
Than I would’ve ever been
Or all that we had
Was all for nothing after all

And I know that I will be ready
Or I’ll be dead again
I know in my head
I know in my heart
That I’ll be better
Than I would’ve ever been
Or all that we had

And I know that I will be ready
Or I’ll be dead again
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my heart
And I will be better
Than I would’ve ever been
Or all that we had

Composure (Unplugged)_

It’s only now
I’ve come to know
The seeds have grown all on their own
They’re fading out
The rules of war
The needs of one are bounding all

If only now
The vows will mean enough to all
If only now
Our lives were calm

It’s only now
I’ve come to know
It’s slowly eating us alive
It’s almost clear
You drifted off
The walls put up were never gone

If only now
The vows will mean enough to all
If only now
Our lives were as calm as we thought

The messages were sent here in a code
I could stay here I could go on alone

It’s only now
It seems to show
The words won’t mean enough to hold
The slightest grip
The mighty ship
Will go beyond horizons found

If only now
The vows will mean enough to all
If only now
Our lives were as calm as we thought

The messages were sent here in a code
I could stay here I could go on alone

Keep a calm composure
I’m sleeping with my eyes open wide
Don’t need another closed door
I’m seeking what I can’t seem to find

The messages were sent here in a code
I could stay here I could go on alone

No Me (Unplugged)_

There, I’m all alone again
And it seems as though it’s never been so bleak
With the prize still in my hands
I’m led away towards a fate I cannot flee
Broke a bargain on my end
To redefine, cut all the ties that incomplete me

Turn around I know the winds there
And I was blind for all the sights I could have seen
And the crown that I might get here
Won’t prevail against the walls that I can’t breach
Take the reins now in my stead
I’ll move away from all the eyes that cannot see me now
See me now

Hear the raging in my past
Hear the rising of my breath
Far away, as the veil is nearing death and I’ll grieve
But the fire is lit again, it’s slowly burning me within
All the way, as the scene is nearly set, and I’ll see
Butterflies, that are aching me inside
Through the veins, as they cut out all the mess and they won’t rest till I bleed

Then I’m all alone again
And it seems as though it’s never been so sweet
Let me write it all by hand
And I’ll be the one I’m told I cannot be
All the roads that are ahead
Lead away from all the arms that cannot reach me now
Reach me now

See the fading of the past
The unwinding of the thread
It was all above me
Right above my head
Now it’s pouring on me
It’s dawning on me
That everything that’s golden
Is buried deep in grounds eroded
Now start digging there where all the lines meet

When the light has gone away
When the light has gone away
Not afraid
Not afraid
Not afraid
Of the dark

And the rise we’re on will be
And the rise we’re on will be
All the same
All the same
All the same
As the fall

And the signs went up again
And the signs went up again
Don’t be late
Don’t be late
Don’t be late
To the door
Or the ride will never end
Or the fight will never end

Gone around
Wasted years to get it
Now throw away my only friends

Form a line
They make you pay to get in
My God

Am I too late

I’m not my father nor my cares
I’m not my body
There is no me
Get it now

But you will know me brother
Know me brother

And the price went up again
And the price went up again
Buy the weight
Buy the weight
Buy the weight
On your heart

And the body that we’re in
And the body that we’re in
Not awake
Not awake
Not awake
But not dead

And the foes we’re up against
And the foes we’re up against
Are not there
Are not there
Only there in our head
Are not there
