{ CLOSING REMARKS } I'm on my way to believing That some things last forever while others fade away The path was gone, my vision blurred My hopes once dashed, turned to solid lines Learning what’s right and seeing what’s left Learning to heal to the day of our death Learning to fly ‘til we sink in the ground Learning to wait ‘til this all comes around This is no end this is a beginning There is no regret, this is forgiveness It’s a brand new day Wanted to find you, but never could see through Wanted to touch you, but never could reach you This is the moment we will always remember It's the lies and secrets that can't be undone So here and now, this is where it ends (Your lies and secrets can’t be undone)

{ A HEAVY HEART } What once was a budding romance Has slowly slipped by chance like sand through shaking hands The girl I thought who was in love with me Has slowly turned her cheek, she always falls asleep You left me broken in two - how could you? I’m so alone even when I’m with you - it’s so true. Where did this train run off the track? Is there any chance it all will come rushing right back? Can’t you give me piece of mind? Show me what it is you see A heavy heart surely won’t be too hard to find This is a lesson learned the hard way If there’s truth in consequence, then hell I’m sure to pay The ups and the downs they come & go But this heavy heart has brought me to a brand new low This won’t be too hard to find This won’t be too hard to find The mercury begins to rise now I’ve come to recognize You can take this all away You can take this all away Where did this train run off the track? Is there any chance it will come back? Can’t you give me piece of mind? This heavy heart will be just fine

The City 03:40
{ THE CITY } The time has come for me to go There’s nothing left for you to know And all I need is for you to trust for you to know for sure It’s everything and all the light Say anything to me tonight The end is just another way to take the time to start again There’s something gone, but not replaced We have to leave without a trace The distance is no reason for you to give up on me The city calls away from me Their loyalties and how they lie Is this more than wasting away one more chance, one last time? Take me away - we could end up anywhere The lights are burning brightest there - take me away Promise and say - there’s so much more for us to see No one else will take the lead - take me away In every life there comes a time For you to take a leap of faith I can’t stop the ground from falling out from under me And everything is smaller now I close my eyes, I hold my breath This is where we start over and build this up again The end is just another way to take the time to start again The end is just another way to start again

{ FRANCIS CONNER } Things will change and come undone The answer’s lost, but the war is won I thought I knew just where we stood Misdirection always leading us astray But at these crossroads where we stand now Gaining nothing but questioning There’s so much for us to feel when You’re so close, don’t let it slip away Nowhere, nowhere - where will you run to? Nowhere, nowhere - how far will you go? For the one you love, you will end up Nowhere, nowhere Like the song you used to sing - never meant for me Between the lines from which we came - fading away I’m left alone to carry hope of What could have been something real There was time when you existed In my mind just for me Things will change and come undone Your selfish thoughts are a loaded gun Things will change and come undone The answer’s lost, but the war is won
5.
Brothers 04:16
{ BROTHERS } Long winded - long distance Long drive just to move this body further from home Reflections - the mirror These lines will never tell a lie or beg forgiveness These days spent - all wasted What lies ahead is left unsaid, until that day then come what may A memory, a broken past, a dream, a hope and nothing lasts A falling out, a losing streak - I’ll bite my tongue, I’ll never speak We don’t know how, but it’s all over now Everything’s changed and turned upside-down If I can’t stay then I’ll just go my way If you’ll never change then there’s nothing to say This dark road - so callous The light is just a memory Yet, still this past, it haunts our lives It’s only questions, no surprise That all we do is wonder why & always think we’ll never die These hopeless dreams that we are following Your words are much too hollowing
6.
Attack 03:38
{ ATTACK } I dove down so far no one could find You are a reason to live, a cause for dying Separate lives of different stories With a slight chance for a modern romance All I could do was push you away Panic on the streets of London With Bowie's monsters and super creeps Your sins could be forgiven in this world to keep Attack - they'll hold us down Decay - they'll fall to you We will live on Release and let go Take it from me If you want to Hurt me and leave me broken Let go of words unspoken Let’s burn all our bridges We'll catch the next train We don't have to settle down We'll live life [live life] on the run Let’s forget the names that we used to know You & I don’t count for much anymore A faded memory still haunts us Do you remember who we used to run to? This picture's falling down, it's time to cut away This house is haunting now, you know that we can't stay
7.
{ THIS TIME WON’T BE THE LAST TIME } We’ve reached a point where there’s nothing left to say And there’s nothing to do but walk away Look back and I’ll know This time, this time, this time won’t be the last time Our hearts have come to this new divided place Where we long to find a new embrace Look back and I’ll know This time, this time, this time won’t be the last time Hold me once and tell me twice Say the words that will make everything alright When was the last time you told it from the heart? This time, this time, this time won’t be the last time There’s something in your eyes that I see through Don’t tell me – it hurts more than the truth Look back and I’ll know This time, this time, this time won’t be the last time Can’t you take it all back? Every word that you said You made this heart an attack, I think I’m better off dead There’s nowhere I can go, I think we just moved too fast Give me time I can show, this time won’t be the last Hold me once and tell me twice Say the words that will make everything alright When was the last time you told it from the heart? This time, this time, this time won’t be the last time Leave me once and break me twice It’s your words that leave me feeling cold as ice When was the last time you told it from the heart? This time, this time, this time won’t be the last time This time, this time, this time won’t be the last time
8.
{ FOR THE THRILL } You show me all of what I think is only you But you’re a fraud - a façade of skin and tattoos I think of us - what was and what could be But you take me for granted on your knees This growing doubt is getting strong You only cut, cut, cut me up It isn't like you knew how this could be Don't look at me, I have no sympathy The pieces of this broken heart Can only cut, cut, cut you up I’m running in circles again ‘Cause you’re such a good liar And I don’t [don’t] need [need] anything from you When you take me down you do it for the thrill So here I stand - this love loss bleeding in my hand But do I fly or stay and try to fight? Step on the plane, but are things the same? Head in my hands – our failed plan Is this the end? Did we ever begin? Do what you can, but I’m just a man
9.
{ MSO4 } Tonight I find myself alone in your room You left long ago with someone else Your things are scattered around without a care If it wasn’t for me you’d still be right there No matter what you say, everything is perfect It doesn’t matter what you think, I know Your hand may be in someone else’s now My dear I call that a technicality Say goodbye, I will never be like you (You never knew what to do) Don’t tell me it’s over now, no escaping it or replacing it My love will conquer you, no denying it or erasing it Don’t tell me it’s over now, no escaping it or replacing it My love will conquer you, no denying it or me And I will follow you [follow you] wherever you [ever you] may run away [run away] so far away [far away]
10.
Radiate 03:13
{ RADIATE } We were shaking from within The words you stole were paper-thin When you left me stranded by the roadside Memories of better days Your tongue was sharp and quick to say Another reason for you to forget this Your voice still radiates in A place that you once called home Can you hear me through the static? What’s left of what I came for? Am I awake? Am I still dreaming? Is there something left to believe in? This day will break a new beginning There is something left to believe in So the sun decides to stay As the wind scrapes the ash away, are you ready for me? And my thoughts begin to fade As the world begins to burn, are you ready for me? Why did you ever think you could see Through the darkness that’s surrounding me? If you could see through me If you could see through me
11.
{ THIS ISN'T THE END } In every single memory There’s something worth learning from The curtain will rise & fall The spotlight will shine on some Trying to find something to hold onto All this time it was right in front of me How could we miss this chance? I know it’s time for us to believe Let me in - I need to know who you are I'm searching for myself - how could it have been so hard? Lead me there - I need to know where you are I think I’ve lost my way You’re falling into me - there’s nothing to believe Tonight you can start again You’re falling into me - there’s nothing to believe This is no way to begin, you can’t look back or give in You know this isn’t the end And every little bit of this Is something worth dying for But you’re not even almost there at the young age of twenty-four You may never understand But we can always overcome Lead me there - I need to know who you are I know I’ll find my way – can you? We’ll always be the same You’ll always be the same We’ll always be the same
