We read the signs completely backwards
No one could see if we ended up where we needed to be
To find out how it all works with so many partners
And nobody wants nobody wants to sit behind the wheel, behind the wheel.
Whose the one pounding the gears avoiding the crowds keeping their ear to the ground ?
Oh Ive made a mistake i never learned how to get back to the place
Oh...
Where have all the signs gone ?
I don't know where i am without them.
Where have all the signs gone ?
I don't know where i am.
We made designs completely backwards
Nobody knows if were even close to where we need to go
To find out how it all works with so many artists
And nobody wants nobody wants to sit behind the wheel, behind the wheel.
Whose the one pounding the gears avoiding the crowds keeping their ear to the ground ?
Oh Ive made a mistake i never learned how to get back to the place
Where all our confidence kept is behind a shield only light can get through.
Where all our confidence kept is behind a shield only light can get through.
Where have all the signs gone ?
I don't know where i am without them.
Where have all the signs gone ?
I don't know where i am.

I can't get started from the part
where I left off yesterday
Should have spent my time a little wiser
I sat alone, guilty of sin
waiting for words to come,
from out of my head
still making sense to anyone?
I can't wait to understand the reason
I've yet to translate any meaning
besides, it's not worth it to try
Get out! Get out!
Lock myself up in a room
without a window just to see
if it was any easier to breathe(I was wrong!)
never underestimate the daylight
never so much easier to breathe(yeah!)
I can't wait to understand the reason
I've yet to translate any meaning
besides, it's not worth it to try
Get out! Get out!
Get out! Get out!
There's no meaning
besides, it's not worth it to try
Get out! Get out!
Get out! Get out!
Get out!(yeah!)

Stay as still as
you think you should be
Your stolen memories
will find you
in the last place
you would think to look
All the time that it took to locate
Maybe it'll just pass by you
or rip right through your heart
Underneath the surface
we break apart
Disappeared from public places never seen again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?
Underneath the surface
none of us deserve this
Underneath the surface we break apart
Disappeared from public places never seen again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?
I don't want excuses
I don't want apologies
Disappeared from public places never seen again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?

Nothing new to say
Nothing to report 'cause the future happened yesterday
If I could tell the truth
I could make you stay
but forever seems so far away
I fell apart in your arms
for the last time
And I felt free to do what I want
because of the things you told me,
because of the things you told me, you told me
I felt free
You could be the end of me
Too many shades of gray
It's just another pointless game that we play
I couldn't tell the truth
I'll never make you stay
because tomorrow always happens yesterday
I fell apart in your arms
for the last time
And I felt free to do what I want
because of the things you told me
because of the things you told me, you told me
I felt free
I felt free
I will learn to live again for now I'm breaking
all the things I couldn't mend without escaping
I will learn to love again
I will learn to love
I will learn
. . .

You're so careless, careless
How did you get so ungrateful?
You treat me like I'm a disease and it's been killing me
Chances are, you never even cared at all
I'm sure you had your reasons but I'll never get to hear
The truth disguised in all your alibis
It's a tradition practiced
Every time you say goodbye
I've tried so hard
To be what you needed
Your imaginary enemy
I've tried for so long
To make you believe it
That I am not the enemy
Slipshod cavalier
I can't stand to see those things that
You have taken for granted
Thrown away everything you've been handed
Too much all at once that's how you got so ungrateful
All you saw was the burden
Standing beside all your blessed truths
Disguised in all you alibis
It's a tradition practiced
Every time you say goodbye
I've tried so hard
To be what you needed
Your imaginary enemy
I've tried for so long
To make you believe it
That I am not the enemy
Imaginary enemy

Sadly, I walk around this place on the shells of eggs
My shoulders are cold
I put it off for so long, I put it off
and know I've got to live with what I made
forever
What was stolen from us
now is forever lost
just because we'll never pay the ransom
What was taken from me
I will never regain just because
We'll never pay the ransom
I'll become like the desert wind
and I'll drink all the gin
Shriveled up under desert lights
eaten up in the night
I can't keep this up much longer without
needing more from you
I need more
Wasted with the rhythm
angry at the melody
How did you stay so sweet?
Cause you were my ally once
You were my confidante
i need somebody close
to be close to
forever
What was stolen from us
now is forever lost
just because we'll never pay the ransom
What was taken from me
I will never regain
just because we'll never pay the ransom
just because we'll never pay the ransom

Upon a pebble driveway
there sits a house
and it's the loneliest place
I haven't spent much time there,
it wasn't allowed,
it just didn't feel right
'Cause it's all built upon a burial ground,
it just doesn't feel right,
it just doesn't feel right
On top the frozen creek,
I would love to take you there
I swear it flows through me
On top the frozen creek
If I open both of my eyes,
I still see an empty space, so empty
But if I keep them closed
then there's still a chance that something is out there
'Cause it's all built upon a burial ground,
it just doesn't feel right
it just doesn't feel right
on top the frozen creek,
i would love to take you there
i swear it flows through me
on top the frozen creek
I made a promise to you long ago
I'd do the best that I can
I'd try and keep it
I made a promise to you long ago
that I'd do anything to keep this home
On top the frozen creek,
I would love to take you there
I swear it flows through me
on top of the frozen creek
I would love to take you there

Sinking into my awareness
realizing what's been done
I've taken a life and mine for granted
Neither planned or in passion
riddled with guilt and crazy panic
my body tells my mind to run
into the forest towards the mother
though I've destroyed her favorite son
All the things I should have done,
All the things I should have done
Execution style in the courtyard
where everyone awake can witness
the cowardly shot into the temple
all because I lost my temper
Burn the evidence, flee the scene
always keep those fingers clean
Devil eyes stare into mine
they say there is no place I can hide
Now I must compare the consequence
end my life or just confess
I won't last a minute in confinement
Either way I'm going to hell
All the things I should've done
Oh, oh, oh
All the things I should have done
Oh, oh, oh
Either way I'm going to hell
Either way I'm going to hell
All my life
passing
before my eyes
All the time
I was awake
You were alive and just arriving
I couldn't see your eyes
All that is love is ever lasting
I didn't realize
I was awake
. . .

Scratched out a note I wrote for you
to wake and read
to know that I was there once
I knew that there was nothing that I could write to assure you
of my return
But all the paper said when I was done is
'do you still want me?'
because I'd be terrified if I had to leave this place today
We haven't saved the baby
As I said
my darling
spring is constantly calling me
and there's no place that I'd rather be
I won't be angry
if you have to leave,
but I won't be waiting
for that day
So don't say you're sorry because
I won't believe you
Didn't see a sticker on the door when we walked in
but I know it's going to cost us
the same amount of love it takes to get you through
but it never moves you
I'd be terrified if I had to leave this place today
It's where I threw my love away
Then we saw a different side of “Annie” nobody saw
She tried to kill the baby
and the earth and its skin will open up
and birth out a perfect mirror
that makes all our reflections clear
I won't be angry
if you have to leave,
but I won't be waiting
for that day
So don't say you're sorry because
I won't believe you
. . .

You'll retire with some
well deserved space that you wanted years ago
it's not the same as if you pushed it away
unescorted through the longest mile
now that it's over
I have some regrets
but I can just forget them
I must admit now going down within this ship
I couldn't have a better crew to travel with
If I make it in one piece back to land
I will never sail again
never
Peace and quiet
start to interrupt,
your life is not the same as you had hoped
Living up to all the things that you played down
If you don't get a hold of it, I wont be around
now that it's over
I've made mistakes
it's all I have to learn from
I must admit now going down within this ship
I couldn't have a better crew to travel with
If I make it in one piece back to land
I will never sail again,
never
Now that it's over
I can't help
but think that
we're coming to the end
If that is
the case then
I know we can't pretend
to never make a sound again
Never make a sound
. . .

It's so sad for us
when we find ourselves
giving away
and it's a shame for us
when we find ourselves
going to waste
so throw away the love that we made.
(I know I know)
and nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
There's no reason to be here
we should pack up and leave
I have never felt that way before totally alone
there's no reason to leave
I have never seen you act that way before
totally exposed.
As you throw away the love that we made
(I know I know)
and nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
The longer it takes the more it goes to waste
I want to believe you but I can't feel a thing
the more that you get the less you are
and nothing's going to change that helpless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
