I want to know how the story goes And if the sad song writes about how much you know About what really happened, obviously You've got a skewed view or you weren't present to see With a healthy dose of evident Fabrication filling us in I want to know where you're coming from And where you're going Have you come undone? There's a vitamin in this tune Step back a little bit Give yourself room When you say, when you say how it used to be Understand I don't need the waste following me When you say, when you say how it used to be Understand I don't need the waste following me When you say, when you say how it used to be Understand I don't need the waste following me Winding It up Twist it Undone Winding It up Twist it Undone When you say, when you say I want to know how the story goes And if the sad song writes about how much you know About what really happened, obviously You've got a skewed view or you weren't present to see With a healthy dose of evident Fabrication filling us in I want to know where you're coming from And where you're going Have you come undone? There's a vitamin in this tune Step back a little bit Give yourself room When you say, when you say how it used to be Understand I don't need the waste following me When you say, when you say how it used to be Understand I don't need the waste following me When you say, when you say how it used to be Understand I don't need the waste following me Me!

If I had the ability I'd filter my vision, I'd rather not to see Take me out of the picture Take me out of the picture I don't know how to do this right We've hammered the point home, now it’s just a drag Take me out of the picture Take me out of the picture Or you could feed me, 'cause I don’t want closure Feed me, 'cause I don’t want closure How long do I envision myself turning up on these crooked floors? Wrestling stability, grasping on to anchor in without a plan I, I guess I’ve gotta spin it right We, we’re rather mixed up in the prime I’ve gotta spin it right Who am I kidding? I don’t have the time (I’m turning up late for it You're never gonna sit and just wait for me) I see it backed up, set in a row When I have a moment I'll let you know (I’m turning up late for it You’re never gonna sit and just wait for me) While I’m waiting the next parade Too little, too late I thought I warned you yesterday While I’m living, I’m chasing I’m waiting for the next parade Don’t know if I fit the model anyway I’m waiting for the next I’m waiting for the next I’ve gotta spin it right We’re rather mixed up in the prime (I’m turning up late for it You’re never gonna sit and just wait for me) I’ve gotta spin it right We’re rather mixed up in the prime (I’m turning up late for it You’re never gonna sit and just wait for me) I’ve gotta spin it right Who am I kidding?

When the winding starts there's an absent sun Better not to focus on the consequence See the side of the road where we lost control For the way, the way it went down Now we should be gone, and stored away Now look at us all, passing again G.M. Vincent & I Night won't let up and I need to move This stretch rings, it rings a familiar tune Back and forth unavoidable path We wait Waited for someone to save us When you were stuck at the crash site Man I didn't want to leave I couldn't let you go. Now we're back here to see When the winding starts there's an absent sun Better not to focus on the consequence See the side of the road where we lost control For the way, the way it went down Now we should be gone, and stored away Now look at us all, passing again G.M. Vincent & I Gone, and stored away Now look at us all We're passing again We're passing again Wait for someone to save us Wait for someone to save us Wait for someone to save us Wait for someone to save... Do you want to come down take a look tonight? Legs tangled under the vicious weight It's harder to see. Ribs under the knees The pain in the vision I wait for someone to save you Wait for someone to save you Wait for someone to save you Wait for someone to save... When the winding starts there's an absent sun Better not to focus on the consequence See the side of the road where we lost control For the way, the way it went down Now we should be gone, and stored away Now look at us all, passing again G.M. Vincent & I Gone (I might as well take a look tonight) And stored away (where you were stuck under vicious weight.) Now look at us all (Somehow we keep coming back. We're passing again.)

Face and embrace When decisions lead up to consequence I force down the drain Any remnants left I let slip away Because of all the things I couldn't say to you Because of all the things I couldn't say to you Because of all Give it some time, mulling it over Pulling down the shades till the nerves recover You wanna know what’s really bothering me? I’m not passive aggressive, but I had to leave Because of all the things I couldn’t say to you Because of all the things I couldn’t say to you Because of all the things I couldn’t say to you Because of all the things I should have said Because of all Give it some time Mulling it over Pulling down shades Till I can settle the score Closer, a little more Closer, a little more Face and embrace When decisions lead up to consequence I force down the drain Any remnants left I let slip away Because of all the things I couldn’t say to you Because of all the things I couldn’t say to you Because of all the things I couldn’t say to you Give it time, just a little closer Because of all the things I couldn’t say to you Build it up just a little more Because of all the things I should have said to you Give it time, just a little closer Because of all the things I should have said to you Because of all Because of all the things I couldn’t say to you

Follow them, bowing out, throw me the flag, I'll take the opportunity Stuck in the moment, I'd pay the price if there's a possibility I've been caught in the standards, dragged it through the gutter And what I left there doesn't mean a thing Follow them, bowing out, I'll pay the price if there's a possibility I won't stay here, I won't stay here I won't stay here, I've got to make the most of mine Now we hold the key and no doubt we always have Don't you remember telling me that there's a lifetime to make these mistakes And when it's almost over, we'll wish we would've made more Yeah, when the storm is over, we'll wish we would've made more I won't stay here, I won't stay, I'll take the opportunity Flat out I'll stick it out, senses awake, accept responsibility Taking it farther, I'll weed right through the clutter What's left behind there doesn't mean a thing Follow them, bowing out, I'll pay the price if there's a possibility Never easy to mend when all the pieces stand so far away Well, I've been spending a long time looking in Feel the pulse and it's aggravating Push and pull while the concept stays And I can't get a peace of mind and my head keeps racing And I can't get a peace of mind and my head keeps racing (racing) I fear my options running out Why isn't it getting easier to cope (to cope) without (without)?

We're not the first, wiping ice from the blinder's eyes We don't know how long this will tide us over See results divide into very clear realities You couldn't set them further apart and I Can't ever look far enough Reach up to the highest point or brought down to the lowest level The balance will allow Split and sustain in front of me Build up the attainable, already set up to fail The balance will allow Split and sustain in front of me I'm worn right out asking for solutions I don't need See the answers just aren't good enough, and of course After a while I've made a new realization As much as I gain today, spills out even in a different way We'll watch essentials dislocate, stripped away Am I working in vain? The balance will allow losing unexpectedly I know the balance will allow finding and recovering Balance will allow, resolution's finding me Balance will allow, resolution's finding me, finding me Balance will allow Balance will allow Balance will allow Resolution's finding me When it rains it pours, see the floodgates opening Desolate, dry spells, when there's nothing happening The balance will allow, split and sustain in front of me When it rains it pours, see the floodgates opening Desolate, dry spells, when there's nothing happening The balance will allow, split and sustain in front of me Reach up to the highest point or brought down to the lowest level The balance will allow Split and sustain in front of me Build up the attainable, already set up to fail The balance will allow Split and sustain in front of me

With the right kind of people You could certainly put a slight dent in the walls Its foundation built on tearing us down Little by little, turn it around I don’t know a lot of people Who have given as much of their lives and dedicated Their minds and souls so fervently To the vision intact, realize the power at hand Realize the power at hand Redesigning evil, spit the right words making public disheveled As the poison spreads, who will shake these vultures down? All set to realize ours, but these lights, these lights are blinding Split the tension underlining it all Redefining people, realize the power at hand This earth has opened up to see And the new world, new world's getting smaller And the new, new world's getting even smaller Refining the security Do you feel like the walls are closing in Do you feel like the walls are closing in Or is it just me while I’m here getting caught up to speed I’m for it, I’m for it, I’m for it (I’m all for it) When there’s a line between progress and greed And if we want to get caught up to speed (I’m all for it) Can we breathe out new life in the air? Send out a wave, use this as ammunition Against the vultures that prey on the public's addiction They’re creating the symptoms and cures Use this as ammunition As long as I have a voice I must stay awake, I can’t lose this vision I’ll be right here watching the walls collapsing in The walls collapsing in And they set up the vulnerable This climate brings fear and intimidates (and intimidates, and intimidates) Set up the vulnerable, crushing the vulnerable, is this progress?

Maybe I want to take a step The gold's lost its shine but I know Through cracks and the holes there's a shimmer below Hazy glimpses force me to stay It all becomes real the moment I say That I'm finally willing The moment I say I'm open I've opened up When I give a little, it sure takes a lot And it’s taking everything I've got The last straw, final effort made To manifest what I can't explain I didn't want to believe Now it's all that I can see The last straw, final effort made To manifest what I can't explain I didn't want to believe Now it's all that I can see Now open up a piece of me I’ve exposed myself to everything, everything And rising up infecting me I’m gonna get it right I’m gonna let it all right in Someone open the gates and let me in The persistent grinding, now an accommodating fit Someone open the gate and let me in I've been looking for something, and maybe this is it 'Cause we just want to find a place in it all 'Cause we just want to find a place in it all Well I just want to find some space in it all I want to find some space in it I want to find some space in it all The last straw, final effort made To manifest what I can’t explain I didn’t want to believe Now it’s all that I can see The last straw, final effort made To manifest what I can’t explain I didn’t want to believe Now it’s all that I can see Now it’s all that I can see

Get alone Get alone Get alone Get alone Get alone Get alone Get alone Get alone Get alone Get alone Man it's a shame, it's a stumbling block And it seems I've found the order to this sour addiction I've grown accustomed to it showering me Switched gears but the cycle isn't making it easy I was running, I was running on empty ideas But I had to write them down just to listen I'm flying over the ocean and back I breathe in, I breathe out I breathe in, I breathe out I breathe in Get alone, when the others are blinding Get alone, leave distraction behind me Get alone, where the streets are defining Get alone, they're always there and reminding Get alone, when the others are blinding Get alone, leave distraction behind me Get alone, where the streets are defining Get alone, they're always there and reminding Riding, distance restore me I'm finding serenity in the structure Finding serenity on this route Distance restore me Adding up, adding up all the stakes Lining up, lining up and dissecting I'd rather address them while I I'd rather address them while I can If I'm not mistaken I will If I'm not mistaken I will If I'm not mistaken I will Steer it through in a graceful way I'll abandon, leave the rest behind The weight might not settle in time Man it's a shame, it's a stumbling block And it seems I've found the order to this sour addiction I've grown accustomed to it showering me Switched gears but the cycle isn't making it easy I was running, I was running on empty ideas But I had to write them down just to listen I'm flying over the ocean and back I breathe in, I breathe out I breathe in, I breathe out I breathe in Get alone, when the others are blinding Get alone, leave distraction behind me Get alone, where the streets are defining Get alone, they're always there and reminding Get alone, when the others are blinding Get alone, leave distraction behind me Get alone, where the streets are defining Get alone, they're always there and reminding

It's funny I was just thinking about How much we used to get caught up in the clouds Questioning each other And then you called and you asked me where I was today Just like every other Well, I just I know that sometimes we’re more distant than others It doesn't stop But I don’t let that hinder me My plan’s got longevity It doesn’t stop, give it a shot Let me make the pitch, you choose We’ll dial it in just right for you When you see me again don’t abstain There’s a mighty demand When you see me again will you recognize? Will we both understand there’s some kind of love allocated for us? Let me know Because the things you say Come together in a charming way Because the words you choose To say to me definitely elude to something I don’t want to make believe Steer the boat or live the fantasy All the better, let the magnet pull Scratch my wounds I think you’re healing me, healing me Because the things you say Come together in a charming way I don’t want to make believe Steer the boat or live the fantasy All the better, let the magnet pull Scratch my wounds I think you’re healing me, healing me The weight is falling down on us The weight is falling down on us When you see me again, don’t abstain There’s a mighty demand When you see me again will you recognize?

I can't win, I'm writing it off My back's pinned to the wall Pull back, pull back, pull back the reins There’s no doubt that all the fuss has just made a mess out of me Pull back, pull back, let the cycle run its course Remind me again, so I can re-learn Give me a crash course on how this works I know I’ve given ample advice But as it seems the constant struggle Has made an example of me Has made an example out of me I can’t win, I’m writing if off My back’s pinned to the wall Let it run, let the cycle run, let the cycle Let it all run out its course I’m doing more harm every time I use force Let the cycle run out because When it’s done there’ll be something else I didn’t ask for this, but I keep embracing it I’m gonna stay, I’m gonna stay This has chosen me I’m gonna stay, I’m gonna stay This has chosen me I’m gonna stay, I’m gonna stay I’m gonna stay, I’m gonna stay This has chosen me I’m gonna stay, I’m gonna stay I’m gonna stay, I’m gonna stay This has chosen me I’m gonna stay, I’m gonna stay
