i see mothers and fathers i see leaders and healers i see thinkers and artists i see our friends scared shitless when they say you're ready, say you're ready now it's your turn, it's your turn let's see what you're made of let's see what you're made of when they say you're ready say you're ready now it's your turn, it's your turn let's see what you're made of let's see what you're made of when they say... i see everything moving i see you standing still we can change these shallow waters we can make improbable waves when they say you're ready, say you're ready now it's your turn, it's your turn let's see what you're made of let's see what you're made of when they say you're ready say you're ready now it's your turn, it's your turn let's see what you're made of let's see what you're made of when they say our greatest fear is not that we're inadequate our greatest fear is power beyond measure our greatest fear is nothing compared to regret that our greatest fear has been holding us back we'll go from being locked behind our doors to being part of something more from seeing things that we could change to seeing lives that we could save from spewing all our hate and doubt to trying to suck the poison out of everything that's broken of everything that's broken when we say...

i can't see the road ahead of me it's all blocked with your dreams and i can't breathe the air around me you steal it all when you speak and it's al been said before but i can't just say this anymore and all my traveling's been in my head it never gets me far my friends are either gone or dead it shouldn't be so hard to get up and start the car i can't see what a new place holds for me as long as it's new i know that 's all i need and i can't believe the things they tell me they're too different from what i've seen it's been through my head before but i can't just think this anymore and all my traveling's been in my head it never gets me far my friends are either gone or dead it shouldn't be so hard to get up and start the car do you know what we could be if we only took the time to let these dreams breathe? well i've seen what we could be if we only took the time to let these dreams breathe and it's time for me to leave and all my traveling's been in my head it never gets me far my friends are either gone or dead it shouldn't be so hard my traveling's been in my head it never gets me far my friends are either gone or dead it shouldn't be so hard to get up to get up and start the car

Stand Up 05:28

i choke on cigarette smoke as i call your name i say, you're different, you seem different you shrug and say, you taste the same now my hands are aching my nerves are shot you say, impress me, impress me, undress me i'm screaming, this is all i've got and i, i'm right and i, i know i'm right i sleep with shadows i lay down with ghosts i've piled so much up around me except for what i need the most some things got broken but i'm not breaking down my brother told me, you're a fighter i'm proving it this time around and i, i'm right and i, i know i'm right i'm not looking for a repeat, i'm not looking for easy i'm not looking for a repeat, i'm not looking for easy tonight and if you work me over one more time i swear to god i'm walking out and if you leave me standing here alone if that's your plan, i'll just leave now and if you work me over one more time i swear to god i'm walking out and if you leave me standing here alone if that's your plan, i'll just leave now 'cause i'm not looking for easy tonight

Here For You 03:24
oh, you know the way you say you're leaving oh, you know that's only out of fear oh, you know the way you feel you're sinking oh, you know you just forgot i'm here, saying please don't lose you don't lose the music in you please don't lose you the whole world's here for you oh, you know the way you're feeling lonely oh, i'm here, you'll never be without oh, you know the way you feel you're different oh, you know i love you 'cause you stand out please don't lose you don't lose the music in you please don't lose you the whole world's here for you

my heart skips a beat whenever i see you it leaps from my chest and lands in my throat but it’s nothing good, it’s not a good feeling it’s the tightness that comes right before you choke and you flip the switch i become the old me every time you come around always on guard, looking out for a repeat of the six months i spent underground but i’d still like to know what you know about why we burned out so damn slow there were those times after the end when we went and killed everything again and i took in stride all of the secrets and the sideways looks from all your phony friends i hadn’t learned ‘til you spelled it out the difference between making love or keeping warm but i realize now, when it came to your love i’d have killed for the leftovers, any way shape or form but i know i don’t care any more for just keeping warm i know i’m still only your leftovers, taking new shape and form
