The Color Morale
Album • 2009
Maybe we'll come Maybe we'll go It's all for you (This is all for you) Maybe this time around, we'll know what to and what not to do And we'll go on thinking about how we all could change So what good is changing for all of them For all of them, for all of them? You're not changing for yourself Save yourself Change for yourself

The day burns darkest right before the dawn As I've conflicted beliefs with my own I am as guilty as every one of you So prepare the fallout will lead me back through this nightmare Today is the day to get through what you've been going through Show no concern to those who never even try to learn Show no concern to those who never even try to learn I pray, you, you all will find this as I've found this And every time I forget, it finds me Prepare your parting gifts And send them all right off this cliff they call life Send them all right off of this cliff they call life I know that you will be here To teach me to fly Every, every time they clip their wings Your names are written Right there in the sky You just have to read them Prepare your parting gifts And send them all right off this cliff Send them all right off this cliff that they call life (I know you will be here) to teach me to fly Every, every time they clip their wings They won't give Reach for both hands

Return, right back to the hell from which you came from Held back by the bloodline, something's gone horribly wrong We feel as if we don't belong Why do I need the answers this moment? And so they came, held back by a moment's grace They only speak so they save their face, and then drift away And the shadows know of... of the snakes The day will come when you'll want this But you'll be measured by what you take So where were you? The light to lead me to this hell and through Don't lose faith, we'll find a way, the way back through They only speak of their saving grace And I see that my grace is you! (We're all the same) Well, this is me and this is you alone together (We're all the same) You smile as you struggle like me Like these, like every wicked chosen decay that lies in me Just let it leave, just leave, just leave my body Are we born among demons? Send all your chosen plagues right back to the hell from which they came False belief dies today, separate my body and let me be

(And I will) Be there when you get home And I will be there when you become all you hate All you hate When you become You have to see the floor You have to see the floor before you You can see the angels are reaching Cross all the t's, dot the i's This is your life The contract expires when you die You need to see the bottom of every barrel to know Maybe I was wrong to look into all the eyes of all of my demons I would rather stare right back into the eyes of the devil To find my own face Being alone Being alone never felt so good cause I found you Maybe time was wrong (time was wrong) Maybe time was wrong (time heals nothing) We can all be alone, all alone, all alone We can all be alone but we will still have you Maybe I'll become all that I hate Maybe I'll become—maybe I'll become all I hate Maybe (I'll) become (you) He will pull all of us out

If you leave then we won't play For the walls will wash away the few We'll stand displayed Far past the expiration date For the stage we stand upon is so vaguely fake So why are we here? For the sake of the sound When the sound is falling upon deaf ears (upon deaf ears) So why are we here? Your faces are forward Focused on what you call frames So we'll offer up the canvas to be left and unobtained And if no one hears the sound, is it there from the start?

I believe in souls and I prefer semi-controlled When I am in this world alone (When I am in this world alone) I play a false god and draw shame to the throne They say the best things come to those who wait For you to change your hymns And they say the best things, they come To those who will wait For you to change Wait, they know, they know it exists But if they can't see it or touch it, it's fake Why am I here? Why am I here? So long, so long for holding in We're told, we're told the dirt that we throw Will someday come back times ten And cover us all Those who deserve love the least need it the most They say the best things come to those who wait I have been waiting and I am not hearing a thing Hearing a thing from you So long, so long for holding in We're told, we're told the dirt we throw Will someday come back times ten And cover us all Those who deserve love the least need it the... most This world reminds me that someday I won't need my skin Oh my God Why am I here? Why am I here? This is something we're born with

So these days have been cold The nights we'll share I long for We'll look with more than just our eyes I won't quit until I know that I truly tried Every way on my own, we'll move on For the way will be unforgiving We'll move on, on our own I won't quit until I know that I truly tried I won't quit until I know that I truly tried (I won't quit, I won't quit) Will we be there in the end Or will this leave me wide open? Will this be here in the end Or will it leave me wide open Waiting on our second wind? We are all enabled I won't quit until I know that I truly tried (I too will try) I won't quit until I know that I truly tried In all you'll say and do, keep to the follow through We're nothing without you So tonight all the fearful will feed And share remains with the ones who need I've been used, I've been tried, I've been tested But I have yet to break So share your fears with me I won't quit, I won't quit I won't quit until I know that I truly tried I won't quit until I know that I truly tried (We are enabled, we are enabled) I won't quit, I won't quit (We are enabled, we are enabled) I won't quit until I know that I truly tried (We are enabled, we are enabled) I won't quit, I won't quit (We are enabled, we are enabled)

These wars we face only keep me in my place The shadow I cast only grows largest just right before It meets me, unwillingly, at the floor

...And the sky awaits us all Now I know today will be the day Where my throat goes first But tonight there will be no slowing of my heart Or calming my pulse I want you to feel I want you to feel your pulse in my words And make your actions speak louder We're as children numbered in millions Made for a kingdom But all designed to fail We were designed to fail We were all designed to fail We were designed to fail We were all designed to fail This is the reason he created seasons So we can all learn when our leaves fall in June In June, this is the reason he created seasons So shoot the arrow, but don't miss the apple I need my eyes I need my eyes as much as my throat As much as my voice God, send us down and angel So she can purge the church Send her to the earth As living proof of worth worship Not your priests Nor your whores Not anything more than More than what you leak out of all your pores You have already been marked for death You have already been marked for death You made the mark yourself So I ask you all: if tomorrow never came Would you think or would you act the same? So I will ask you: if tomorrow never came Would you think or act the same? Please help the man Please help the men behind their masks Behind their hands

There's a cure for all the dead In (all the dead, all the dead) It all started out as another failed attempt They all died underfed For the sake of all that's failing I'd rather die on my knees Than stand here with these same old tired worn out feet of mine Walking circles because my chords remain unbalanced This is not about me This is not about us Father, Father will they let you in (let you in) Please forgive me, I am one of them (one of them) Father, Father will they let you in (let you in) Please forgive me, I am one of them So tear me open and reach right in They don't have to go the same way the came, born to sin In due time, they'll all find that they can be forgiven We all live in a world of convictions An ugly world with ugly surroundings You don't recognize your own faces Cause there's more than, more than just one side We are all our own jury Some day, we'll be put on trial This is not about me This not about us (Oh us) Father, Father will they let you (let you in) Please forgive me, I am one of them Oh let me in, oh let me in So tear me open and reach right in They don't have to go the same way the came, born to sin In due time, oh, they'll all find out that they can be forgiven You don't forgive others for their sake You forgive for your own sake You don't forgive only for your sake For the sake of our falling Forgive yourself Today I stand tallest from my knees Today I stand tallest from my knees From my... knees From my knees
