Well keep calm and carry on with good intentions.

Theyll prescribe the rights and wrongs until were perfect. So maybe one day well be safe, in control and full of grace, Never making a mistake, so flawless.

Medication (Music: Boshart/SIlverstein, Lyrics: Told)

The anchors up, your ship has been sailed. Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind. Satisfy your worst intentions. Im your sacrifice. Dressing yourself up to kill; You do this for peace, you do this for love, but you know there has to be loss. Lives torn apart as youve hit your mark. Youll take your share at anyones cost. Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind. Satisfy your worst intentions, Im your sacrifice. The metal is cold to lift and to hold, but now my heart feels the warm undertow. I cannot breathe. The way I feel about you suffocates. I will not speak. The words I feel about you go to waste. I will lay here until my body washes up on shore. Ill sacrifice with everything I believed in before. Ill get back up and do it again.

Cut us deeper to the core, we wont feel a thing. Imperfections we ignore, embrace indifference I wish this wasnt all so hard, to be yourself and not on guard, To stop the racing in your heart, well fight it. Put me under now Im powerless. Ill take it all, Ill take it all, Ill take it. I cant breathe without you. You wont trust me, I wont trust you too. You bring me back, you bring me back, you bring me, Medicate me. Hide me deeper in my shell until Im all alone. Im hearing voices in this cell, hallucinating. I could have sworn I heard it too, a sad and beautiful adieu. Its telling me what I should do, I follow. Put me under now Im powerless Ill take it all, Ill take it all Ill take it. I cant breathe without you. You wont trust me, I wont trust you too. You bring me back, you bring me back, you bring me, Medicate me now. As Im turning into this reflection you control me, My body and my mind, my emotions and my pride. The simplest things became the hardest part now. The easiest parts have taken all my dreams. Im afraid Ill never be okay. Im scared I cant be happy. This silence of fear, is not a way to be sincere, And its a way to cope, a way to deal, but not for me when I cant feel, The subtleties that make me want to, be alive and not a statue, Breathe the air, be here to talk to, Im afraid Ill never be the same.

forget Your Heart (Music and Lyrics: Told)

Fight these eyes, theyre drawing you inside. Signed my name in marker, Watched the clouds as they got darker, felt it start to slip away. All the schemes were made and plotted all the rules had been forgotten now. I made it by the skin of my teeth again this time. Im waiting, still waiting to get away, and make a change, Seasons last forever in this maze. Forget your heart. Its weighing you down inside as you confide your life to someone else. Maybe were scared to be alone, Were not prepared to throw the stones and watch them drift out of our control. I braced my body for the sudden impact that was, More than I ever thought that it would be. And when it knocked me over Ive never felt more stiff and sober, Now Im trying to get up and runaway. Im wasting, Im wasting my life away, Ive gotta change, Ive gotta burn the book and turn the page. Forget your heart. Its weighing you down inside as you confide your life to someone else. Maybe were scared to be alone, Were not prepared to throw the stones, And watch them drift out of our control.

PAGE 2

(Music and Lyrics: Told) Its so familiar to me; A gun in your hand, a hole in my chest, and now you strike a match and inhale. Its now to the point where its all so routine.

Sacrifice

Theres no return to what you had when you started, Before you lost control, you will never recover. Fight these eyes, theyre drawing you inside. Lay down and pretend youre dead, lay down before you lose control, Lay down and pretend youre dead, lay down before you lose control. Forget your heart. Its weighing you down inside as you confide your life to someone else. Maybe were scared to be alone, Were not prepared to throw the stones, And watch them drift out of our control.

good Luck WitH Your LiveS (Music: Boshart/Silverstein, Lyrics: Told)

Ive looked you right in the face and I have told the worst lies. Ive put my arms around you and felt nothing at all. Ive stolen tasteless bread, Ive assaulted hundreds of cities, paint them red. Ive taken a thousand miles, and Ill take a thousand more until you say:

You cant bully me, you cant make me stay, you wont change. I hear your whispers calling me, I will turn away. Just like a hunter you will prey, prey on me. And the world will let you hang. I just made a pact with them to always drop you where you land. Ill fight for my way, and Ill say that Ive changed, Ill try to convince you you should stay. Wherever you go Ill be there, making sure you fail. You cant bully me, you cant make me stay, you wont change. I hear your whispers calling me, I will turn away. Just like a hunter you will prey, prey on me. These 7 years have opened my eyes, but I dont want to live it all again. Ungrateful, I have been. Loyalty, I have none. No respect, no passion, Unmotivating.

intervention (Music: Boshart, Lyrics: Told)

Forgive all my sins. I know Ill commit them, I know what will happen when I trade reason for loss of control. A call to arms, with holes and scars, With healthy minds we enlist into war. You will see a shadow cast upon the light you know. There will be an angel weeping tears of blood that stain the earth below. Youll lose yourself, but you wont find any peace, you wont find any hope Youll lose yourself. Is this where you belong? You try to avoid it, you try to abstain, But it relentlessly takes its control. You must obey, youll cower now, Youve surpassed your threshold for pain. You will see a shadow cast upon the light you know. There will be an angel weeping tears of blood that stain the earth below. Youll lose yourself, but you wont find any peace, you wont find any hope Youll lose yourself. Is this where you be you and not the one whos trapped inside? You can make a difference, look into your mind. Your memories are what defines who you really are, Thats what makes you special, beautiful. You can still be loved, you are held in such a high regard. Your blood is contagious, summoning desperation. Your mind is a blur, a chemical spill, you need to wipe it out. You must fight, you must stand, you must believe in yourself. You will see a shadow cast upon the world you know. There will be an angel weeping tears of blood that stain the earth below. Youll lose yourself, but you wont find any peace, you wont find any hope. Youll lose yourself. Is this where you belong?

(Music: Boshart/Silverstein, Lyrics: Told) Single file you fall into another empty bottle. Growing larger, trapped inside, and now you cannot swallow all your pride. Youll fall asleep alone tonight with one day less until you die. One more time youll confirm all our suspicions while you close your eyes and lie. You and I will continue to discover that were wasting so much time. Silver rings piercing the skin, we know youre keeping secrets, Horizontal memories, too many just to regret. Deep inside, youll fall asleep with them tonight, penetrating in your mind. And not just tonight. One more time, youll confirm all our suspicions while you close your eyes and lie. You and I will continue to discover that were wasting so much time. Looking back, all the stupid drama that painted my world black. Holding hands was the gateway drug that led to the mess Im in. I wont give up, but I wont lie down as you take away my friends. Dont try to change me now, Dont start to judge me now. I know youve Ive lost your heart I might never get it back. If you could peer into my past youd see just how much love Ive lacked Theres been a hundred lows but there has been a million highs, And now were wasting so much time.

FThe Artists palette falls, the paint is spilled with blood. Someones shot him down, left him without his soul. His bodys laid to rest and underground hell stay, With hopes to resurrect and live again another day. Now they decide who lives and dies.

tHe artiSt (Music: Told and Bradford, Lyrics: Told)

And if my body makes it out unscathed and saved from broken vows, A promise spoken leaves me holding on. I just cant get ahold of why we always hurt the ones we love? Can burning hearts still keep us strong? Its all my fault. This eagles flying down below where shadows fall. Now its sinking in, that Im sinking into this place I never thought Id crawl. You cant trust me, Im not worthy, you wont ever feel this way. The storm is moving overhead. The wind is blowing back weve been misled. And if my body makes it out unscathed and saved from broken vows, A promise spoken leaves me holding on. I just cant get ahold of why we always hurt the ones we love? Can burning hearts still keep us strong?

His peers wont come around, theyre too disgraced to face, Another soldier down, his lifes work a waste. And now these walls are bare, no one pretends to care, A distant memory, his masterpiece in disrepair. Now, they decide who lives, and dies. They will hold you back. We stand tall and illuminate. We fight through and prevail. We dont stop when youd be giving up. We wont ever fail. A martyr takes his hand to make him live again. With savage sleight of hand hell force his legs to stand. A sick and gutless joke, a serenading hoax. Interrupted peace, a waste of time, a pathetic excuse for hope. The sleepless nights have no compassion, and the dreams that come arent true. A charade of lies unconscious, and so much left to be proved. But the sun will rise and fall again, and the nights will start to shorten. The memories will fade into darkness. You cant let it go. But your world is turned upside down. Its a panic you cant release. Once you have it you just cant ever ignore it. Thats when you realize your best days are behind you. And all youll ever live for is regret, you cant it take it away.

(Music: Bradford, Lyrics: Told) In a lighthouse by the sea, at the 33rd degree, youll make me feel so special and free. But theres something in the air, turning stutters into stares, Ill look into your blue eyes and say: Darling, dont throw it all away, Im here to make you stay with me. In this sun I look so pale, northern skin so thin and frail, But I try to close my eyes, when everything starts fading. When I wake up from this dream, shivering under cold sheets, Ten thousand miles away, and Ill wish I was on King street. Darling, dont throw it all away, Im here to make you stay with me. Newly risen, how brightly you shine. Something seems to give inside my heart when youre nearby. All Ive given to you is vacant eyes, I dont understand, I cant figure it it out, I cant figure it. On a park bench by the street, at the 43rd degree, Ill sit and watch the snowfall and think. If these walls could tell the tale, an excuse to no avail, Would you ever begin to forgive me again, to forgive me now?

Burning HeartS (Music: Boshart, Lyrics: Told)

The blood is rushing to my head. This room is spinning round the bed. A flashing image perforates, tarnishes memories of grace. A bursting bond reforms into this shape. And if my body makes it out unscathed and saved from broken vows, A promise spoken leaves me holding on. I just cant get ahold of why we always hurt the ones we love? Can burning hearts still keep us strong? A crack has formed in the foundation. The floor is falling out from under me. A pleading loser makes his case, a liar shakes his head and breaks, A life of honor turns into his shame.

Live to kiLL (Music and Lyrics: Told)

Shut the door.

We live to kill each other. We are the wealthy and the poor. We shout but we dont listen, all we want is more.

PAGE 4

Youre letting the darkness out, its just about the time to watch you die. Close the blinds. Were hiding our skin from sun while you become yesterdays headlines. I never said that I was sorry. We live to kill each other We are the wealthy and the poor We shout but we dont listen, all we want is more It will be beautiful when Im cashing in the life I stole, With the perfect sound at the perfect time, while they sing the words I forced to rhyme. And its safe to say theyll forget your name, when the song I wrote is The Stereo. I dont have to justify, paying your dues is a waste of precious time. Why would you lead when you could follow? We live to kill each other We are the wealthy and the poor We shout but we dont listen All we want is more then we deserve, realize our potential, maximize our return. Well conserve a portrait of everything perfect, a name every house has heard. Ill take it all you leave you nothing. We live to kill each other We are the wealthy and the poor We shout but we dont listen, all we want is more.

And when the sun is down, And when the skies are calm youll see, calm well be. Well wait for the cycle, well repeat our same mistakes, The same mistakes weve always made.

in MeMorY of... (Music: Boshart, Lyrics: Told)

Fighting tears, a trembling voice straight to my ear, a moment Ill never forget. Someone I love, telling me someone I love had just been called to his reward. Twenty-four, a leader, a father, adored, well never be with him again. Take me down to the garden behind the old house, sail away with me. Words can be the most beautiful or the most cold, I didnt know what to say, To a father who suddenly loses his son, I still think about that everyday. Take me down to the garden behind the old house, sail away with me. Break it down, trace the steps moving to the gold town, lost your path from me. Made the plans then backed out. Stayed at home and did nothing. But now Im taking the 400 up north. The last time Ill ever see your face I dont wanna believe that this is it, I wanna believe in something more. Growing up wasnt easy for this boy who only wanted to live and do whats right. I cant feel my heart when I hurt myself. I cant feel the pain when I hurt my friends. But Its taking you further and further away Take me down to the garden behind the old house, sail away with me. Break it down, trace the steps moving to the gold town, lost your path from me.

(Music and Lyrics: Told) Im the setting sun behind the trees, the saddest one youve seen. Ive been burning holes and breaking dreams, and I regret it. Im fixing things Ive broken, its not as easy as it used to be. Im throwing temper tantrums, I used to settle, But now I make a scene you cant believe. I said Id never walk away, but Im not able to stay. I said Id never leave this place, but I cant stay here, To watch you fade, and watch you change into someone I cant face. Now I cant replace I cant replace you. Youre the swirling wind above the sea, the maddest storm theyve seen. Now youre breaking waves and smashing dreams, and you cant help it. Youre drowning streets and stranding a million people, youre starting out with me. Youre crashing down from anger, youve stopped and settled, And now youre sound asleep, and so serene. I said Id never walk away, but Im not able to stay. I said Id never leave this place, but I cant stay here, To watch you fade, and watch you change into someone I cant face. Now I cant replace I cant replace you.
