Imaginer 03:18
We knew the footprints in the ground We saw the shadows from the sun We felt it all, but it just never was enough for us So if you think they're gonna talk us down, think again We felt their pressure, but it never was too much for us This is the part where we wake up With knuckles cracked, the gloves are off I hope you think you're tough Only takes the two of us Time to let it show (Right now) Let's move fast if you'll stay with me when the sun sets (Stay proud) Lost now, but the life we find is worth it Hear it, spirits lifted if I know you've got my back Imagine that I can't remember yesterday What does it matter, anyway If they close in to seal our fates I dragged you into all of this! I know you still don't know me well I've got secrets I'll never tell But since you'll stick around Let's give 'em something to shout about This is the part where we get up The ground was made for taking off This still isn't enough Only takes the two of us Time to let it show (Right now) Let's move fast if you'll stay with me when the sun sets (Stay proud) Lost now, but the life we find is worth it Hear it, spirits lifted if I know you've got my back Imagine that! Victory, I can feel it like a rampage Throw us down, we rebound, they ain't ready for us, yeah Bravery, I can feel it like a rampage Throw us down, we rebound, they ain't ready for us, yeah! Let's move fast if you'll stay with me when the sun sets Lost now, but the life we find is worth it Hear it, spirits lifted if I know you've got my back (Imagine that!) (Right now) Let's move fast if you'll stay with me when the sun sets (Stay proud) Lost now, but the life we find is worth it Hear it, spirits lifted if I know you've got my back Imagine that!

Skrili 04:29
I kick and punch my way out It's die or fight to stay alive It's not right, so I'll try I won't talk too loud And I won't feel the loss of love If I don't think too much 'Cuz it takes motion to find If I can make it by without you Say you're safe with me (In this face, in these shreds, all the love I'll send) 'Cuz I can't even sleep This smile's haunting my head (Say you're safe with me) And we'll keep moving if you say you're safe with me They can't make me bleed See this decay I'll plant a seed A kiss, hug, and laugh I've got a lot to say, but won't, Can you imagine that? Guess time will tell, but time never comes back So when I'm ready you'll see A person you can trust hidden underneath Fall fast, walk along the dirt path Hold fast, follow the dirt path Remember, live for us We'll make it far if you just Say you're safe with me (In this face, in these shreds, all the love I'll send) 'Cuz I can't even sleep This smile's haunting my head Say you're safe with me And we'll keep moving if you say you're safe with me They can't make me bleed One day we'll close our eyes And feel the warmth of life For now, just stay with me Just stand behind me And when your storm comes around, I won't turn away Like the people who left me 'Cuz if you can't face yourself, you'll Always be empty And when your storm comes around, I won't turn away Like the people who left me 'Cuz if you can't face yourself, you'll Always be empty Say you're safe with me (In this face, in these shreds, all the love I'll send) 'Cuz I can't even sleep This smile's haunting my head (Say you're safe with me) And we'll keep moving if you say you're safe with me They can't make me bleed

Porch 03:35
You said you'd hang out with me But you're meeting her beneath the tree I'll cover for you this time I'll cover for you Every time You said you'd hang out with me (again) But you're making out behind the tree (again) I bet all you did was tell her she is so magnificent I bet all she did was smile and you know she bought into it I hope you learn this time I really hope you do, you see this time What you're doing to your mind I hope you learn this time I really hope you see, you realize What you're doing to her mind There's something different about this one She soothes you like the warm sun And I can tell that this time you are telling the truth 'Cuz I can tell that this time there is something different about you I hope you learn this time I really hope you do, you see this time What you're doing to your mind I hope you learn this time I really hope you see, you realize What you're doing to her mind And if you see her again When you're at last a new man, What if you reach for her skies, And find it's too late to fly? I hope you learn this time I really hope you do, you see this time What you're doing to your mind I hope you learn this time I really hope you see, you realize What you're doing to her mind

Dear Hero 03:54
If you're gonna leave Then do so, already And if you ever come back Don't be the same man you were when you left And here comes all of the life you've never had And here comes all of the love you've never said Let your heart burn up But don't let it get to your head, Dear hero So go get all you want But you'll find just what you need I won't give you all you want That would be too unfair Of me So here comes all of the life you've never had (Let it go) And here comes all of the love you've never said (Here we go) Let your heart burn up But don't let it get to your head, Dear hero Below the caverns I wait so softly Below the caverns I wait so softly Look back no more, we're chasing the sacred Not another late hit, live it out or fake it Will you make it? Not by yourself there, big shot Gonna need another soul by your side when things get hot And she's got it, everything you never wanted But you need it and you knew it when the fight started Misfits mixin' it on the trees of dead Picture's worth a thousand words, but now it's ripped to shreds! Cousin, caught in the crossfire, everything is dire when the devil is a liar And you're starting to perspire when the altitude's higher But her smile? That'll leave you fine for a while Is anyone a sinner when they can't recall the sin? Is anyone a winner when the victory's within? You may think you're strong, but it's all pretentious So it's goin' down now, Conscious, Conscientious And here comes all of the life you've never had (Let it go) And here comes all of the love you've never said (Here we go) And here comes all of the life you've never had (Let it go) And here comes all of the love you've never said (Here we go) Let your heart burn up But don't let it get to your head Let your heart burn up But don't let it get to your head, Dear hero
