Show 03:51
Say you will, say you won’t Be the light to lead us home Speak it easy, speak it true We are born to follow you Keep it open, every door Be a feeling we can’t ignore Not a whisper, shout it out Free from doubt Show yourself to me Show Show yourself to me Show yourself to me Show yourself to me Give us strength, hold us up Be the water to fill our cup Through the desert, be the guide The song in my mind Keep it simple, keep it pure Be the truth that we came here for We must stand, heart in hand Fire in our chest Show yourself to me Show Show yourself to me Show yourself to me Show yourself to me Show.

Dead Horse 03:15
You are not a machine Just the man that you’ve always been Weak to the core Rotten fruit, we don’t want no more Take it from me The right way is never easy Sparks will fly There’s more to life than the world you buy I’ve been wasting time Dragging a dead horse across that line You’ve been living a lie all along Now I’m gone I’m not a saint Tainted by this life I made But I get on by Take this road and ride ‘til I die I’ve been wasting time Dragging a dead horse across that line You’ve been living a lie all along I’ve been wasting time Leave the weight and woe behind You’ve been living a lie all along Now I’m gone.

Porcelain 04:23
Porcelain breaking down Wondering what it’s like on the other side of a frown Cracking at the seams and the tears don’t dry Vivid nightmares are calling (nothing like, nothing like, nothing like, nothing like) All the wild leaves are falling (nothing like, nothing like, nothing like, nothing like) You’re nothing like before How do you wake, feeling the weight? Promise of better days Pain it will fade, you’ll bend and not break Drift on, Porcelain Faith lies here, Porcelain Constantly around, but it’s blowing in the wind Tethered to a world that’s parallel Vivid daydreams are waiting (go and find, go and find, go and find, go and find) There is life in this painting (go and find, go and find, go and find, go and find) So go and find your own How do you wake, feeling the weight? Promise of better days Pain it will fade, you’ll bend and not break Drift on, Porcelain.

Throw me to the wolves I’m a man, misunderstood I’m a house without a roof I’m a bird that is let loose Go on, feed me to the lions I was raised and born in fire Just a flame that can’t climb higher I am home where I am stood Heroes and numbered days Songs that show their age I’m growing old before my time Heroes and numbered days Songs don’t sound the same Throw me to the wolves I don’t want to be saved Throw me to the wolves I am bound to my own fate I lay square upon these tracks Not for the glory or the chase Won’t you leave me to the jungle It is here that I will thrive Little haven in a wasteland This is where I come alive Heroes and numbered days Songs that show their age I’m growing old before my time Heroes and numbered days Songs don’t sound the same Throw me to the wolves I don’t want to be saved So go on, paint me as your target Go and talk as talkers do I am tired of your false melody Blowing hot air enough for two Throw me to the wolves Go on, let 'em show their teeth Oh, the call that you are hearing is not the same that beckons me Heroes and numbered days Songs that show their age I’m growing old before my time Heroes and numbered days Songs don’t sound the same Throw me to the wolves I don’t want to be saved Slave to the music And I love this ball and chain Throw me to the wolves I don’t want to be saved.

I’ve never seen such comfortable skin You wear it around like the world’s not caving in But you know that it is You babble for hours and you dance like a child But don’t let the world get you down, make you wild All of those things make you who you are Don’t ever change Don’t act your age When life gives you rain Stay the same I started to see something change in your eyes A hurt that appeared in the height of July Oh, how time flies If only they knew what you’re feeling inside A darkness did come, stripped you of your pride Don’t let that thing make you who you are Don’t ever change Don’t act your age When life gives you rain Stay the same Don’t push me away Don’t hide your face If you’re feeling the strain Stay the same We all have our quiet places We all have our saving graces I know and I wanna be yours Inside we’re all broken Sick from the motion A world that keeps spinning and it never slows But I am yours Don’t ever change Don’t act your age When life gives you rain Stay the same.
