COURAGE
Stay low, inside your soul
And spend your days alone
Another door will close
Your story won't get told
So will you play and roll the dice?
Or are you staying sitting on the sidelines
Waste your life wondering..
"Could I be something?"
[pre-chorus]
Where's your ambition?
Where is your stride?
Are you willing?
Are you ever gonna get this right?
Will you run and hide?
Decide
[chorus]
If you see it in your mind, then I believe that you will find
A source of courage, you'll know it
So don't delay and don't hold back.
You can't leave anything to chance.
You've got to show it, so show it
Show it
The world's a stage
And now the lights and crowd is inescapable
But are you capable?
Wake up already switch off the safety, son
You might be only getting one shot at this
Where's your confidence?
[prechorus]
[chorus]
guitar solo!

CANON
If I could open up my eyes
I’d lay conscious in disbelief
I’d see a blessing in disguise
It must be something you don’t see
[pre chorus]
As soon as it hits us
We fall down to our knees
We’ve been misguided all along
Hands shaking struggle for control
We watch & we listen
A world that’s out of reach
I don’t want to make it back
[chorus]
And clouds will fill the skies
The strongest of men will fall
We’ve opened up our eyes
We’ve been breathing the wrong way all along
In time, we’ll speak in tongues
‘cause now it all depends
We’ve modified our lungs
And now we’re exacting our revenge
[pre-chorus]
[chorus]
When clouds fill the skies
A word to the wise
Don’t fuck with us
Endearing’s the sound
We don’t play around
Don’t fuck with us

EVERYTHING RED
It seems we’ve crossed the line
That’s how we play the game
And then our faith gets in the way
But I won’t fall for it, fall for it
Like I fell for it before
You’re running out of time
You got yourself to blame
And then the ending stays the same
For god’s sake, wake up
All kidding aside
You know exactly what to say
But then your faith gets in the way
But I won’t fall for it, fall for it
Like I fell for it before
For god’s sake, wake up
When conversation’s getting bitter,
inner thoughts reach a cul-de-sac
The accusations flying ‘round
are gonna give me a heart attack
‘Cause you can try to run your mouth
without the proof of a photograph
Why don’t we give it all we got
without the thought of us holding back?
All kidding aside
You know exactly what to say
But then your faith gets in the way
But I won’t fall for it, fall for it
Like I fell for it before

RULE OF THUMB
Another day another dollar-minded thrift
We count the hours stuck in this establishment
It's when I stop to think about I'm feeling rotten
It just sucks to be me
My arteries all feel corroded, he fails to notice
That I can hardly breathe
The bossman says the work is not enough
We are a commodity to him
If we don't know all the words we'll make it up
We follow the melody my friend
Today's the day we try to make the pieces fit
Put on a face a pretend that I give a shit
It's when I stop to think about I'm pins and needles
This feeling won't relent
My arteries all feel corroded, he fails to notice
He's breathing down my neck
[chorus]
And now ladies and gentlement
Our feature presentation
Another look at the art of how reason and rhyme
Make space and time feel
All too familiar
We're going to make the best of this struggle
If you can't get enough of this,
Hold all applause for the end

BUILD A FIRE
The sun is receding, but I still see an opportunity
For a better life, but a shroud is falling
If I had a heart at all I’d let you in
But I will keep you in the cold
The feeling will get old
Because our hearts burn loudest
When the twelve falls to the six
And we can build a fire
If we just pick up the sticks
Why did I wake up this night
Feeling so blue
Without a hand to hold on to
The winter’s whistling wind of sleet & rain
Freezing awake
This ice box is getting colder everyday
A chain reaction is set in motion
Because our hearts burn loudest
When the twelve falls to the six
And we can build a fire
If we just pick up the sticks
Well how about that, you want me back
You only want what you can’t have
I know that this loving you’re missing
Has gotten you wishing
That I make this decision
But it’s killing me and you
History is not the issue
It repeats itself
And we got everything we need right here
So we can share the wealth
Because our hearts burn loudest
When the twelve falls to the six
And we can build a fire
If we just pick up the sticks
Take your own advice
And don’t give up on me
Don’t stop now

CARELESS WHISPER
(lyrics by George Michael and Andrew Ridgley)
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth, pain is that all you'll find
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes
[chorus]
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
A wasted chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find
[chorus]
With or without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay
[chorus]
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Was what I did so wrong?
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?

THANX
This dormitory is cluttered and cold
But these hallways and stories, we call it our home
With sleeping in lounge chairs and sharing the cab fare
And nights that we stayed up 'till two
The trends that we copy, small talks over coffee
We take them for granted we do
[Chorus]
The elevator opened, your face behind the door
Alone together
The evidence was spoken
I wish that it could be like that forever
Hold on, TV is untrue
But we drone on, if we only knew
The nights become still
And the weather's getting colder
But we gotta do something
Semester's almost over
[Chorus x2]
Over and over the weekends pass by
Wasting our money on cigarettes
The barstool's are bare and the alcohol's plenty
The DJ is pumped but the dance floors empty
Cause you're beautiful, you just don't know
And this funeral is mine I know
These apologies are useless by now
But with one last try, we'll make it somehow
[Chorus x2]

Calling You Out

CALLING YOU OUT
The wind blows cold as we fly
we reek of cigarettes and wait for potions
to kick our instincts in to turn the key
The wind blows red as we die
We’re seen in silhouettes and fall slow motion
To visions we were never meant to see
[Chorus]
Watch your back, I want to believe you honey
Cause if you don’t understand, We’re playing for keeps now buddy
Come on come on give it your best shot
We’re giving you the green light and go
Change our minds you can try
But there’s a difference and dually noted
We’ll realize that things aren’t as they seem
If they say so, it’s a lie
In subsequent events we’ll follow motions
Exactly like we saw it our dreams
A band of boys set sights
On a storm of warfare and friendly fire
And we’re deployed unwillingly
Giving the order, given the order
In a broken oath of honor among thieves
You always were a small thinker from a small town
Talking ‘bout the first big break
That you just refuse to wait for
Running your mouth about someday taking over the world
With nothing more than pen and scraps of paper
But now you’re moaning and pissing to a
Tough crowd that won’t even listen to ya
If you have to pull us by the arm
Then maybe you ain’t doin it right
Right!
[guitar solo]
[chorus x2]
