I'll light the fuse and I'll set that dam to blow flooding the entire town below
And all that I've known what wasn't nailed down will be washed away
My hands are shaking but I will not hesitate
I found the strength to face
The place I fear the most is the place I have to go to see the truth
It's okay to feel lost it just means you're alive
I've told myself a thousand times from the ashes we will rise!
It's okay to feel lost walk through the flames and see
You're only left with that you need we're only here for the journey!
Am I bold enough to be underlined like sand sifting through time
It all falls in line
Life is a mind field and on one side I'm stuck
I broke the key in the door I tried to unlock
I'm never giving up
The times that haunt you are the things you didn't do not what you did
It's okay to feel lost it just means you're alive
I've told myself a thousand times from the ashes we will rise
It's okay to feel lost walk through the flames and see
You're only left with what you need we're only here for the journey
We find the truth through tragedy
I'm finding new ways to make the same mistake
Putting my dreams on to paper and then folding them into planes
Then I left them go because when in Rome
I set fire to what I love the most
I just want to feel alive!
I just want to feel alive!
It's ok to feel lost...
It's ok to feel lost...
It's ok to feel lost, it just means your alive.
I've told my self a thousand times, from the ashes we will rise!
It's ok to feel lost, walk through the flames and see.
Your only left with what you need, were only here for the journey!
You'll find the truth through tragedy!

My memory,
Hangs like the stain glass of the saints past history.
I bury deep, Saint Anthony.
I hear that he can help me find the things I need.
Alaska winters pray for end of summer days.
But the sun won't go away,
Just like me I'll bet they really want to change.
I can run as far as London,
but my past has first class seats.
The lighthouse lost its beam.
Now all I see,
is the face of the cliffs between the moonlight waxing.
I fear for my life.
That the current tonight,
is stronger than the will that I have to survive.
So breathe, you're alive. (x3)
Is it just me,
Or do you wonder if we're put here just to see
How much heartache we can take
Without hanging from the tallest tree?
I feel as lonely as a preachers wife.
My heart's a Russian knight.
I drink to try to melt the ice.
The Cold War in my mind.
The truth hides between the lines.
The lighthouse lost its beam.
And now all I see,
is the face of the cliffs between the moonlight waxing.
I fear for my life.
That the current tonight,
is stronger than the will that I have to survive. .
So breathe, you're alive.
Breathe, you're alive.
Because we'll make it through this
No matter the odds.
All bets are on.
It's always darkest just before the dawn.
The lighthouse lost its beam.
And now all I see,
is the face of the cliffs between the moonlight waxing.
I fear for my life.
That the current tonight,
is stronger than the will that I have to survive.
The lighthouse lost its beam.
And now all I see,
is the face of the cliffs between the moonlight waxing.
I fear for my life.
That the current tonight,
is stronger than the will that I have to survive.
So breathe, you're alive. (x3)

Clip my angel wings!
I'm a coward, I'm a liar and a cheat
My vows all mean nothing I'm weaker than a priest
Board up the windows and lock all the doors!
Like a hurricane I'm always given a new name
Board all the windows and lock all the doors!
Head for the hills! Get somewhere safe!
The further you go the better off you'll be!
I'm clear as glass but I can't seem to ever clean the finger prints you left on me
I wish every night was new years eve, so this Irish disease could have company
Who the fuck would want to live forever? When everyday feels like it's been a week
Call on the archers and let down the gates
Hell must be a view of watching everyone you knew move on without you like you never lived
I'm just like my father as lonely as sin drinking away what I've been given
l'm clear as glass but I can't seem to ever clean the finger prints you left on me
I wish every night was new years eve, so this Irish disease could have company
I hate myself for never saying that I want you in my life
It's not my place to keep on trying chase a relationship that's not there
But if I don't then I know that you want, even dare
I'm clear as glass but I can't seem to ever clean the finger prints you left on me
I wish every night was new years eve, so this Irish disease could have company

I'm climbing out of the hole that Ive been digging
Throwing out all the blue prints I have drawn up for the safe house
I stashed away enough food for forty days, gallons of water, first aid, and propane,
And some wine to entertain
I'm always planning for the worst
I signed my will right after birth
I've got my eulogy rehearsed
I fall to pieces and I get weak in the knees
When I think about eternity
Have I been led astray?
Feeling like they forgot me
He had the right name but the wrong street
I'm pulling nails out from the coffin
I'm gasping for air
My eyes are full just like the moon
I've got a silver bullet stare
The holy grail that I was taught
Was fiction but the fact is that it's not
In communion with my thoughts
The vultures circle overhead
Hanging like halos for the dead
But I'm not suited for one yet
I fall to pieces and I get weak in the knees
When I think about eternity
Have I been led astray
Feeling like they forgot me
He had the right name but the wrong street
I'm a number in a lottery
Life's a boardwalk game god rigged to cheat
As the snow falls all along the peaks
My minds an avalanche I'm digging through to reach
All the things Ive tried to shove down deep
My minds an avalanche I'm digging through to reach
If I could run, but with its speed
I'm bound to be buried here underneath
A tidal wave triggered to teach
That life on an island isn't what it seems
I'm cutting off my toes just so that I can spite my feet
I fall to pieces and I get weak in the knees
When I think about eternity
Have I been led astray
Feeling like they forgot me
He had the right name but the wrong street
. . .

I blame myself for never saying anything
You're dead to me but I`m the fool who still believes
That one day you`ll actually see that you missed out on everything
My innocence you devoured you fucking coward
I'm finding faith in myself tonight and finally I got it right
I must forgive you to move on
It's my only choice cause you'll never come
To fill up all the cracks in this foundation
All the fear all the panic and shame
I`m afraid I'll be like you one day
Id love to hear the things you tell yourself to pass the blame
Your own daughter barely knows your face
You set the fire and then walked away
leaving everyone to clean that mess that you had made
Everything you passed down to me
The stiff right hand this fucking disease
What do I get for being your son
Nothing
I`m finding faith in myself tonight
and finally I got it right
I must forgive you to move on
Its my only choice cause you`ll never come
To fill up the cracks in this foundation
Jesus Christ look what you've done
Abandoning everyone that you should love
You fucking failed me
All that I have left is a choice to forgive or forget
Hold you're hand to the fire
You fucking liar

I've gotta start livin'
Cause my life's passing me by
I'm a wreck, I'm unraveling
You're in the front row as I'm struggling
The spotlight shines showing everyone
Imperfect lines I tried to cover up
I was born into a landslide
Now my hearts a perfect stone
It's a paper weight for bad ideas
Cause I always fly too close
I'll melt the ice caps in the Arctic sea
Making a boardwalk out of Philly streets
New Jersey becomes the new Atlantis
Ringing in a new age of romances (So I can feel alive again)
I was born into a landslide
Now my hearts a perfect stone
It's a paper weight for bad ideas
Cause I always fly too close, to the sunshine
It will burn my eyes
The sun is burning out my eyes
I've gotta stop living like a tornado
Uprooting everything that gets too close before it's roots get to grow
I was born into a landslide
Now my hearts a perfect stone
It's a paper weight for bad ideas
Cause I always fly too close, to the sunshine
It will burn my eyes
The sun will burn my eyes
I've gotta start livin'
Cause my life's passing me by

Sometimes I feel so meaningless
Tangled up in the widows web
The more I struggle the tighter the noose will get
I'm screaming for help
Outside the school for the deaf
I'll spill my guts to anyone who will listen
I'm headed west, to try and test
My bravery
Face to face, with my thoughts
Is what I need
The rear view reminds me the futures passing presently
If I could just hit rewind, eject, and erase it
I've got to replace this tape, cause I can't sing along
Because you, you ruined so many songs
Even though it's been so long
All that I ever do is drink enough to try to forget
Let's sober up
And wait for the sun
Before we take back everything that we've done
I'm headed west, to try and test
My bravery
Face to face, with my thoughts
Is what I need
The rear view reminds me the futures passing presently
I spend so much time trying to see
Someone else, someone I could never be
You can't change yourself through changing scenery
The rear view reminds us where we've been
Wasting all my time, I'm looking for something that I'll never find
Wasting all my time,
I'm looking for something that I might never find
Let's sober up
and wait for the sun
Before we take back everything that we've done
I'm headed west, to try and test
My bravery
Face to face, with my thoughts
Is what I need
The rear view reminds me the futures passing presently
I spend so much time trying to see
Someone else, someone I could never be
You can't change yourself through changing scenery
I try but it doesn't mean I can
Forget the person that I am!

I just want to feel alive.
And love myself from the in and the outside.
Cause every time that I start to feel whole,
I knock myself on the ground because it's all that I've known
Just like the streets burn a hole through your shoe.
My soul has been worn out too,
I'm 25 and I still don't fit in
Directionless, like a blind man painting
Mother I'm so sorry, I can't go on like this.
The lifeboats are leaving with or without me.
What's the point of falling in love?
If I don't love myself.
What's the point of being alive if all I want is out.
So I thought that it only feels right
To make the seizures they danger my mind.
Lay late at night on the black and blue moons.
I question in the reasons that I self-abuse.
I'm so pathetic.
It makes me sick.
I'm a fingerless pianist.
I see reflections.
I clench my fists.
I'm a violin without the strings.
Mother I'm so sorry, I can't go on like this.
The lifeboats are leaving with or without me.
What's the point of falling in love?
If I don't love myself.
What's the point of being alive if all I want is out.
There is no love.
There's only this:
Just lust and lies, and selfishness.
A black hole where the sun once was.
I'm never falling back in love.
'Cause it has never been enough.
This is that pity of playing once with love.
Now that I've become a man, the feeling's grown.
The therapy and through the pills, I can't let go.
But what about the fuckin' fact:
I'm still alone.
What do you do when you got nothing left?
Give up! Give up! And hope for the best!
I throw it in the ocean.
I, and have to sit.
Waiting on a nameless rescue ship.
What do you do when you got nothing left?
Give up! Give up! And hope for the best!
I throw it in the ocean.
I, and have to sit.
Waiting on a nameless rescue ship.
Mother I'm so sorry, I can't go on like this.
The lifeboats are leaving with or without me.
What's the point of falling in love?
If I don't love myself.
What's the point of being alive if all I want is out

I spend my life driving without headlights
I'm running from who I am
I've got my back layed across the iron tracks
Waiting for life to pass
I hit the floor so hard
'Cause I've been getting all my therapy at the bar
And this the last time I'll try
When all the drinks are gone
And it's just me and the odyssey of the dawn
My shadow shows someone
(Who's afraid of the morning sun)
Just when I thought that it couldn't get much worse
I turned around and I saw you there tonight
So when will I get a break from life?
It's driving me to drink tonight
You know that you were my worst addiction
Now you're here after two years of being clean
So when will I learn to break routine
And forget you like a dream
I'm gonna say this sober so I have no excuse
I need you in my life but
My neck needs a noose
Just when I thought that it couldn't get much worse
I turned around and I saw you there tonight
So when will I get a break from life?
It's driving me to drink tonight
You know that you were my worst addiction
Now you're here after two years of being clean
So when will I learn to break routine
And forget you like a dream
I set the fire
As I play my violin
I spend my life driving without headlights
I'm running from myself
Just when I thought that it couldn't get much worse
I turned around and I saw you there tonight
So when will I get a break from life?
It's driving me to drink tonight
You know that you were my worst addiction
Now you're here after two years of being clean
So when will I learn to break routine
And forget you like a dream
You know that you were my worst addiction
Now you're here after two years of being clean
So when will I learn to break routine
And forget you like a dream

My Irish eyes look out at the Atlantic
I think I drink enough enough to probably drain it
The I could could walk to Spain through valleys that were once full
And face each day like a ballet with a bull
The storm hangs like an axe over my head
The longer I wait the worse it gets
Like wildfire through the hills of confidence
The sun shines but there's sirens in my head
Stars remind me that
Light shines from the past
I'm so afraid that I'll have to face myself
Even though I know that self reflection helps
It's so easy to judge everyone but yourself
I push away any good thing that I've felt
I've got to lose it all if I want anything
I've got to lose it all if I want to be free
The storm hangs like an ax over my head
The longer I wait the worse it gets
Like wildfire through the hills of confidence
The sun shines but there's sirens in my head
I face each day with a grain of sand
I cannot lose what I've never had

I claim absolutely zero rights or credit for this song! I simply uploaded it to give fellow fans a preview of a fantastic album. I hope this causes no problems, and simply acts to get people pumped for the album and purchase it when it is fully released.
This song was made available for streaming off Senses Fail's myspace page October 18th, 2010.
I take a final breath, breath it in my lungs
'Cause everything I've done has made me numb
If I had just one wish it'd be to let this out
So let go
And late at night I wonder
Am I lightning lacking thunder?
A Cabaret marque
Just flashing lights flickering a tease
Inviting freaks to a fantasy
A baited switch and blurry dream
But inside there's no skin to see
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up
I take a final breath, breath it in my lungs
'Cause everything I've done has made me numb
If I had just one wish it'd be to let this out (So let this out)
Now hold on, so hold on
But I'm still struggling I need to let this out
So let go
Cause Heaven knows I've got Hell for home
A fallen angel looking for a rope
I'm standing outside the Pearly Gates
But no one is calling my name
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up
I take a final breath, breath it in my lungs
'Cause everything I've done has made me numb
If I had just one wish it'd be to let this out (So let this out)
Now hold on, so hold on
But I'm still struggling I need to let this out
So let go
I've got to somehow let this go
Or I never will feel whole
I take a final breath, breath it in my lungs
'Cause everything I've done has made me numb
If I had just one wish it'd be to let this out (So let this out)
I hold on, I hold on
I take a final breath, breath it in my lungs
'Cause everything I've done has made me numb
If I had just one wish it'd be to let this out (So let this out)
I hold on, so hold on
But I'm still struggling I need to let go
