Real Eyes 04:06
You offer your solution It just adds to my confusion You think you’re so damn clever But you fall prey to your delusion Here you go, running your mouth again I don’t know where to begin You’re a master of persuasion But you can’t rise to the occasion I think it’s safe to say I’d never I won’t accept your invitation Here I go, into the fold again I don’t know where to begin I sit and tell myself it’s fine As you bolster up your alibi Don’t know how long we can keep up this lie I’ve all but given up this time Well I don’t know just what you’re after This is becoming a disaster

Down 03:23
My life changed on the day we met You’re the one I’ll never forget I remember how it used to be Wish I could erase that memory Read my thoughts and I know that you’ll find That you’re on my mind Yeah you’re on my mind Now we’re through and I’m all alone Long time since I’ve been on my own You say I did nothing wrong Our love just didn’t last too long I know there’s a man you want to see It just isn’t me I always hoped life was more than it seemed Just for a while, I was living that dream You became my life, and you turned it around Now you are gone, and my dream tumbled down Down, down, down, down, down! I had a dream I was far out to sea I called for a line, while you just stared at me You sailed away, and you left me to drown I closed my eyes, and I slowly sank down Down, down, down, down, down! This is where my story ends Turn the page, and the next begins Dark nights always bring the dawn Time flies, so I must move on I was lost, but now my heart is found I’m free, and you won’t bring me Down, down, down, down, down!

Wolf! 03:02
Everyone says the world is not just black and white So then why are they colorblind? And if I was the king, I’d make everything right But I’m not, I won’t waste my time Hey! I’m callin’, but no one can hear me Hey! I’m fallin’, but no one comes near me Everything is going wrong, but nobody believes me Looking in the mirror, I don’t blame them I’m the boy who cried “Wolf!”, and everyone came running I was looking for attention, but they saw through my lies In the end, they gave up, called me out on my bluff But this time, it was not a lie When I speak, no one cares, they say they’ve had enough And I don’t have an alibi Hey! I’m cryin’, but no one can hear me Hey! I’m dyin’, but no one comes near me Everything is going wrong, but nobody believes me Looking in the mirror, I don’t blame them I’m the boy who cried “Wolf!”, and everyone came running I was looking for attention, but they saw through my lies “Wolf!” cried the boy, as his world fell apart “Wolf!” cried the world, as the darkness filled his heart Better to love oneself than to let the hatred fly Better to live than to die Hey! I’m sorry that no one believed me Hey! I’m sorry temptation deceived me I know living in the past won’t save my emotions Living in a world where no one hears me I’m the boy who cried “Wolf!”, now nobody comes running And I’m dying for attention but there’s nobody left

Eyes behold, a story is told For silence is nothing, we pretend Oh, if we go, we’ll never grow from this We’ll miss the other end I cannot seem to fathom the state that we are in Now let us start to gather what might have been I don’t ever wanna hurt somebody who gave me their trust I’d like to believe that we are more than ashes and dust I might have known a story of our own own may cease to be If I can’t become we Oh, a story of our own will not end now We’ll find a way somehow My intellect is failing to see your side Please intercept my ever-trailing mind I don’t ever wanna hurt somebody who gave me their trust I’d like to believe that we are more than ashes and dust (Consciousness is flowing onward, We are one and growing onward) If you feel like you’re the only one Just remember, you are like the sun Just because it isn’t in our eyes Doesn’t mean it isn’t gonna rise I don’t ever wanna hurt somebody who gave me their trust I’d like to believe that we are more than ashes and dust I don’t ever wanna search to find the right thing to say I’d like to believe that there is always another way
