Every time I do it makes me laugh.
Why our eyes get so red? And what the hell is on your way?
This is where I grew up. I think the prison fixed it up. I never knew we ever went without the second floor is sneaking up.
This is where I went to school. Most of the time had better things to do.
Criminal record says I'm broken twice. I must have done it half a dozen times.
I wonder if it's too late. Should I go back and try to graduate?
That's better now than it was back then.
If I was there, I wouldn't let me.
Oh, God. Heat.
Heat.
Yeah.
Heat.
Remember the old arcade blew every dollar that we ever made. The cops here is hanging out. We see somebody burn it down. We used to listen to the radio and sing along with every song we know.
We said someday we find out how it feels more than just a steering wheel.
K's the first girl I kissed. I was so nervous that I nearly missed. She's had a couple of kids since then. I don't see no go.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat. Heat.

Heat up here.
When you are with me, I'm free.
I'm careless.
I believe above the earth will fly.
This brings tears to my eyes.
When you are with me, I'm free.
Yo yo yo. I said every clock. Yeah. I planned every move. Broke down all the rules just to something I could prove.
You promised me the silver. Gave me just the rust. Now everything I leaned on just crumbled in the dust. Spent years chasing shadows that ran right from my grip. Another empty promise to slip right off my lip. Thought I had the key.
Turns out it was a lie. Watch the whole foundation just melted to the sky. Tell me what to fix. Tell me where to go. Cuz I built this whole structure and I watch you fall slow. I gave you my everything.
I laid down the feet, but there's nothing left. There's nothing left for me. Running on paper through the night, searching for needing some light. I threw every piece of myself in the fire, but I'm only left with this desire. Wasted all the push it all away. In the end, we still end up losing the day. Wasted all the push it all away. In the end, we still end up losing. I trusted all the maps. They led me to a dead zone. Standing on this paper, feeling completely alone. Look back at the mileage. Look at all the ground I covered just to find the same lie. Should have discovered the words you sold me. Yeah, they were just air.
Left me standing strand and caught up in the snare. Took the warning signs and just threw them all out. Now I'm living with the failure and living with the doubt. Tell me what to fix. Tell me where to go. Cuz I built this whole structure and I wish to fall slow. I gave you my everything. I lay down the feet, but there's nothing left. There's nothing left. We're running on papers through the night. Searching for a spark, needing some light. I threw every piece of myself in the fire, but I'm only left with this desire. Wasted all the time and push it all away.
Give me back the time I faint.
It was all lies.
It was all lies.
We're running on papers through the night, searching for spark, needing some light through every piece Put my self in the fire, but I'm only left with this desire.
Wasted all the chances. Push it all away.
In the end, we still end up losing the day.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
I walk through the walls, but the walls never move. Trapped in a prison, I always disprove.
My hands reach for sunlight, but only grasp a phantom, a feeling, a life I can't bear. I hear a voice calling, a whisper in the grave, but my body won't answer. It just drips away. The silence is screaming, the colors are dim. I'm falling forever right over the rim. Save me from this numbness. Save me from the chill. I need you to show me that I'm standing still.
>> Can you awaken the static in my head?
Break the glass. ask you where my spirit is dead. Don't let me fade out. Don't let me turn cold. Give me the story that I need to be told. I'm waiting for the tremor. I'm waiting for the shock. Smash the chains that hold me to this rock. I see your shadow flicker right across the floor like you've been standing outside my forgotten door. You look at me fiercely. You see the true lie. The emptiness hidden right behind my eye.
Why do you waste your presence on a soul that is dust? Don't you know I've broken all the things that I tried?
>> The silence is screaming, the colors are dim. I'm falling forever right over the rim. Save me from this numbness. Save me from the chill. I need you to show me that I'm standing still.
>> Can you awaken the static in my head?
Break the glass cing where my spirit is dead. Don't let me fade out. Don't let me turn cold. Give me the story that I need to be told. I'm waiting for the tremor. I'm waiting for the shock. Smash the chains that hold me to this rock. I am the trigger. I'm the shock you need.
Your blood is frozen. I will make you bleed. You think you're dreaming. Open up your eyes. Don't wait for salvation.
Just bring your life and you awake in the static in my head. Break the glass.
Can't escape where my spirit is dead.
Don't let me fade out. Don't let me turn cold. Give me the story that I need to be told. I'm waiting for the tremor. I'm waiting for the shark. Smash the chains that hold me to this ride.
Heat.
Heat. Woke up today and the silence was loud. Left my whole life buried deep beneath the ground. No voice on the phone. No face in the pain. Just the sound of the rainbow washing out the stain. I sold every memory that tied me to the star, but I can't silence the echo inside my own heart.
I'm running on paper and a handful of doubt. There's nobody home, but I still shout it out. I'm walking that line where the shadows are me. I can feel the pavement under my feet. I'm stuck on thevenue of empty rooms where the dust from my past always moves. I'm carrying a suitcase with only the guilt on this lonely highway that I selfishly built. Yeah. So, but I don't know the way. I just pray I don't walk here till my dying day.
I pass by the square where the tourists all smile. They don't see the ghost is walking every mile. The city's too big and my presence is small. Like a fading paint chip right off the wall. I trade all my comfort just for one little glance just to see a lot. So taking a chance.
I'm running on paper and a handful of doubt. There's nobody home, but I still shout it out. I'm walking that line with the shadows on me. I can feel the pain under my feet.
I'm stuck on the empty ro with the dust from my past.
I'm carrying a suitcase with only the guilt on this way that I selfishly build. Yeah.
But I don't know the way.
I just I don't know why I'm stuck on the avenue of empty rooms where the dust from my past always blooms. I'm carrying a suitcase with only the guilt on this lonely highway that I selfishly built. Yeah.
But I don't know the way. I just pray I don't watch you till my dying day.
I look at my hands and I see all the scars.
reminders of battles that took me too far.
I never knew patience. I never knew grace.
I only taste shadows in this lonely place.
The way that I treated you makes me feel sick.
The moments I wasted, the changes I missed.
I held on to the anger, wore it like a crown.
But your silent forgiveness is tearing it down.
I wish I could take back the person I was.
You show me the difference. You show me become.
Now all I can offer is a simple apology for the mistakes I made that you saw me.
I didn't know kindness until you were here.
You washed away the failure. You conquered the fear.
I finally stop running. I finally stand still.
And that is the only bridge to the life I once knew.
to find a clear pathway stretch out to you.
I see the doubt linger the question in your eyes.
Will the old ugly habit ever truly disguise?
I can't guarantee anything but the change on my soul.
Because loving you means finally being home.
I held on to the anger, wore it like a crown.
But your silent forgiveness is tearing it down.
I wish I could take back the person I was.
You show me the difference. So we now all I can remember is a simple apology for those things that you call me.
I didn't know until you were here.
You washed away the failure. You conquer the fear.
Don't ever let me fall back.
I need you to remind me that I can be good.
Now all I can offer is this.
A simple apology for the mistakes I made that you saw in me. I didn't know kindness until you were here.
You washed away the failure. You conquer the fear.
I'll finally stop running. I finally stand still.
And that's the only promise I'm trying to build.
I used to hold the ceiling.
The castle was high.
wave my hand and told the whole world to comply. They build a statues tall.
They knelt when I passed. Didn't know those foundations were never built to last. Now the gates are wide open and the silence is deafening just the ghost of the pages and history is lessening. It was all in my hands.
I held the whole map. Now I'm caught in the ruins of this guilded trap. They took the crown away.
stole the throne from the stage and left me alone in this historical cage.
Now I'm just living inside the golden cages turning the pages for God.
I should have se I watch for the sign where the people marched by and the clock was unkind. I wish I could trade back the power I own just for one moment of life not on the throne.
I remember the cold night right outside the walls. The sound of the whispers, the ammon cause. They said I was careless.
I let my guard fall. Didn't know that forgiveness was worth more than all. I see the guards sweeping up the broken display.
Praying that tomorrow won't steal yesterday.
It was all in my hands.
I held the whole map. Now I'm caught in the ruins of this guilty trap. They took the crown away.
stole the throne from the page and left me alone in this historical cage.
Now I'm just living inside the golden cages turning the pages of a forgotten age.
I should have seen the thunder. Should have watched for the time when the people marched by and the crowd was unkind. I wish I could trade back the power I own. Just for one moment of life, not on the throne.
Listen to the church bells.
They ring for me.
But no one is left.
Heat up Golden cages turning the pages.
I should see the should marind.
I wish I could back the power I own.
Just for one moment, not on the throne. Heat. Heat.
I need a distraction. I need a new phrase. I'm bored with the options of all these fake ways. My thoughts are all static. The channel is dead to sell in the same lies stuffed in my head. The room smells like apathy. We're in the grim. Can't remember where the confusion began. Let me feel it. Show me the cost.
I think I was something but now I am lost in it was listening. What do you need the silence on my only love? We are here now. Bigger than nothing. We all stand together.
Nobody's trusting. I'm singing along to a fake little song. Knowing everything we believe is wrong. The signal is fading. The curtain will fall. I think I saw something now. I see nothing at all.
The camera is flashing. The crowd starts to sway. Waiting for the leader to show them the way. We're all wearing badges for a cause we don't know. Just following the current, watching the lights glow. I'm stuck in the moment the moment won't cease. Another false promise of eternal peace. Find me a feeling. Show me the cause. I think I was better. Now I am lost and it was listening. What do you need? The silence is my only love. We are here now. There goes nothing. We all stand together. Nobody's trusting. Singing along to a big little song. Knowing everything we believe is wrong. The signal is fading. The curtain will fall. I think I saw something. Now I see nothing at all.
Just give me a light.
Heat.
Heat.
Heat.
Heat. Oh, we are here now because of nothing. We all stand together and nobody's trusting. I'm singing along to a fake little song. Knowing everything we believe is wrong. The signal is fading. The curtain will fall. I think I saw something. Now I see nothing at all.
I'm staring at a window that won't show the view. My reflection is breaking. What am I running to?
The silence is thick and the wall start to lean. Hiding the person that I wish I had been. I feel the tide pulling. The current is strong. Tell me how to hold on when I've held on too long. I've broken every promise. I burn every light. This darkness I'm standing in, it consumes every fight. If there is a reason, please tell me the cause before I'm too far gone. Before the feeling is lost. I can't find the empty horizon tonight. Is there anyone out there to bring back the light?
I'm reaching out for something. Just give me a sign. Pull me from the water cuz I'm on the line. I'm losing the pressure. I'm fing just bring me and don't walk away.
I see the faces watching.
They look down with such doubt. They don't know the monster that is clawing it way out.
I held on to this feeling. Hope it would subside. But every single struggle there's nowhere left to hide. If I close my eyes now, will the pain disappear? Or is this my redemption? The moment is near. I've broken every promise. I burn every light. This darkness I'm standing in. It consumes every fight. If there is a reason, please tell me the cost before I'm too far gone. Before the feeling is lost. I can't find the empty horizon tonight. Is there anyone out there to bring back the light?
I'm reaching out for something. Just give me a sign. Pull me from the water.
I'm losing the pressure. I'm fing just brea away.
You hear my voice.
I don't need to be found.
I can't find the empty.
Is there anyone out there to bring back something? Just give me a sign from the water. I'm moving the line. I'm moving the pressure. I'm f to me and don't walk away.
Yeah.
Heat.
I've always been the one to hold the line. The one who fixed the pieces. said that everything was fine.
