This addiction
It's just a matter of time before my extinction
Not a heinous crime, it's just dereliction
Post-trauma stress and self-medication
My mental vacation
Please heal me
Or release me
I try to feel, but emotion always gets in the way
Before time runs out, is there something you can say? (Take the pain)
Save me, before the ashes of my body blow away
My dedication
To a web of lies of slight deviation
Attention seeking cries for your mediation
Guilt-driven calls for your contemplation
An internet sensation
There's no pills to treat my addiction
My dereliction is stranger than fiction
It's the pills, they're my addiction
My daily drama is stranger than fiction
Please heal me
I'm bleeding
I used to feel, but emotion always got in the way
Now time has run out, I won't ever be the same
In the depths of despair - That's where you'll find me I'm there
In my cage (Take my pain)
Save me, before the ashes of my body blow away
Talk to me
I couldn't feel, because emotion always got in the way
Now that time has run out - I'm counting in days
In the depths of despair - That's where you lost me in there
In my cage (Oh the pain)
Too late - the ashes of my body have blown away

Tangled (Milligan/Heiden)
Fighting battles all inside my head
The constant war rages on
Who I was and who I want to be
The future’s here
The past is gone.
The past is gone
Tangled, I’m tangled
Trying to unknot this mess, make some sense of all of it
I’m tangled, so tangled
Straighten out this road to climb my way out to the other side
I’m tangled, so tangled
A lighted path lays before me
Darkness creeping up behind
Gently hums a haunting melody
Take hold, just push it all aside.
Push it all aside.
Tangled, I’m tangled
Trying to unknot this mess, make some sense of all of it
I’m tangled, so tangled
Straighten out this road to climb my way out to the other side
I’m tangled, so tangled
Pulling, tearing, clawing, unraveling piece by piece
It’s all about the journey, the deep breath, the release
Take this weight right off of me
Just let me be free
I want to be free
Tangled, I’m tangled
Trying to unknot this mess, make some sense of all of it
I’m tangled, so tangled
Straighten out this road to climb my way out to the other side
I’m tangled, so tangled

To Be Something More (Milligan/Kovacs)
You're underwater
And your feet can't touch the ground
Sinking further
Can you hold your breath now?
This life isn't meant to be the sinking ship left out at sea
You took your backup plan and drew a line in the sand
And now you're empty as a soul could be
That safe plan
The less passionate plan
You didn't understand
Can you try again?
Drowning you now but it comes in waves
Taking a breath every couple of days
You kinda get by but you have to just go
To be something more
Past due for a raise
Can't turn off the phone
Sent out resumes
They say "If we need you then we'll let you know"
You spend all you money on the silly things to get you through the weekdays
Now you can't afford to get away
You just need to get away
To get away
Try to turn it around but you're stuck in the hole
Forgetting the faces that you used to know
You were running around through the bowels of this town
Oh this town
Running away, took a plane and a boat
It brought you to waves on a foreign shore
Forgotten names that you had to let go
To be something more

Complicator (Milligan/Kovacs)
This shouldn’t be so hard
We’ve come this far but now those scars
I’m stuck in my head again, the same place that I’ve always been
You won’t stay
You won’t stay
I know
I know you won’t
You won’t stay
All I want, all I need, all the feelings right here in front of me
I keep complicating things
I keep complicating things
But I’ll be free
Now’s the time to mend our hearts and minds
Now’s the time to mend our hearts and minds
All I want, all I need, all the feelings right here in front of me
I keep complicating things
I keep complicating things
But I’ll be free
Do our dance with our make-believe romance
Turn away from a chance at happiness

Eye For Eye (Milligan/Galluzzo Martin)
You're hesitating
Pretending you're surprised
It's so insulting and you're right
This is surrender
I've seen the other side
There's nothing greener
Just pride
I didn't come here to beg for you
I didn't come here to beg
Just look at me in the eyes and say you're ready for me to walk away
Your phone is ringing
You got your eye for eye
I cannot blame you, can I?
It's devastating imagining each touch
I can't keep waiting
It's too much
I didn't come here to beg for you
I didn't come here to beg
Just look at me in the eyes and say you're ready for me to walk away

Heroes (Milligan/Galluzzo Martin)
First step back to fanfare, seems silent thereafter
The fabric that binds you, now heavy behind you
Won’t fade away, need to react
You called out…nothing back
Can’t close your eyes and can’t explain, left thirsty for something
All the things you’ve been out on the other side
Facing a demon of another kind
Our heroes march for tomorrow, for what we can’t define
A voice for all those in sorrow, a simple piece of mind
We gotta get it right
A promise, an answer, not looking much further
Those asking what you’ve been through seem familiar yet brand new
Won’t fade away, need to react
You called out…nothing back
Can’t close your eyes and can’t explain, left thirsty for something
All the things you’ve been out on the other side
Facing a demon of another kind
Our heroes march for tomorrow, for what we can’t define
A voice for all those in sorrow, a simple piece of mind
We gotta get it right

Closed Doors (Milligan/Kovacs)
The news has come out
He didn't love you
Took your pictures down
And now he's rubbing it in
With his new girlfriend
The post you put out
about your freedom
How you're single now
Hope they believe that's true
But we know you
The hurt has left you empty like never before
You turn the light off and you close the door in my face
The calls are coming in saying "meet us there"
Your clothes still on the bedroom chair
Not today
You don't want to go out
You might see him
Or his friends around
They must think you're a fool
Cause now they're hitting on you
You're out of sick days now
And shows on Netflix
Cried your eyeballs out
And gained a pound or two
Because of this fool
And the bottles that you drank are still by the door
The dirty laundry left on the floor
Another day
You close the door in my face
And the bed is like an island with a lava floor
No way to reach you on your private shore
So there you lay
How I've seen that empty look inside your eyes
Why don't you cry one last time?
The murder of your mood is on the internet
You meet the picture with an empty stare
Make it go away
Take it away
But now your pity party's over and you have to say
What did he ever do to deserve you anyway?

Open Road (Milligan/Galluzzo Martin)
I hear a voice ring out, and it’s vaguely familiar
It says give up on “fair”, and the spell I’ve been under
Just gotta move ahead, no time to mourn what’s been lost
‘Cause nothing ever stands still, who can afford what that costs?
You tell me
Everybody’s got a, everybody’s got a reason to cry and a reason to lie
Somewhere in between the, noise around us is a clear black and white, hiding safely behind our own two eyes, that’s right
Our own two eyes, that’s right
You never ask me my name, and yet I start to recover
Who knows?
I’ve spent years searching for some crystal ball, yet it’s here to discover, just here to discover
I throw my hands up, you scream watch out below
We’ll take that leap and then we’ll go go go go
You take the wheel and drive, out on the open road
We rush into the night and then we’ll take it slow
We’ve got nowhere to go- I have no place to go
Wake up and everything’s new and you are sleeping beside me
For once, the sun is shining, I don’t give a damn if the whole world is crumbling, if all else is crumbling
I throw my hands up, you scream watch out below
We take that leap and then we’ll go go go go
You take the wheel and drive, out on the open road
We rush into the night and then we’ll take it slow
You take the wheel and drive, out on the open road
We rush into the night and then we’ll take it slow
We’ve got nowhere to go- we have no place to go

Confessional (Milligan/Kovacs)
Once we made a vow, but it’s broken now
I thought my voice was loud, not another in the crowd
So, you’re sorry now for things I can’t allow
It could have turned around but we won’t find out
Why am I tortured by the things I could have done?
Why can’t my heart see what my mind has become?
This house was more than walls to me
It hurt, my pain, every night I’d wait.
This memory still haunting me
When you cleansed your soul
And now this home that you broke is your confessional
I’ve gotta go
I’ve gotta get away

Picture This (Milligan/Galluzzo Martin)
We reach the part when, when he gives his best away
Another takes her hand as a smile lights up her face
You move in a little closer and you slowly turn to me
It’s been a few years now for us-the two became three
I want to picture this, I wanna just capture this
Through all of life’s ups and downs as days are passing us by
I want to just pull you close and hold on tight
Out on the dance floor a little hand pulls on my dress
Laughing, you sweep in out of nowhere and spin him ‘round over your head
I never noticed before how much his eyes look like mine
As they gaze into you, so completely intertwined
I want to picture this, I wanna just capture this
Through all of life’s ups and downs as days are passing us by
I want to just pull you close and hold on tight
I want to picture this, I want to remember this
Through all of life’s ups and downs as days are passing us by
I want to just pull you close and hold on tight
There’s an empty chair that’s, that’s casting shadows on the floor
But there’s a light in the room saying “please don’t cry anymore”
It’s clear I made it through and I want to thank you
I want to picture this, I wanna just capture this
Through all of life’s ups and downs as days are passing us by
I want to just pull you close and hold on tight
I want to picture this, I want to remember this
Through all of life’s ups and downs as days are passing us by
I want to just pull you close and hold on tight

The Haunted (Milligan/Galluzzo Martin)
Gone much too far but there’s no retracting, from now on, it is all reacting
And you never look back – oh, you can never look back
Heartbeat the sound of the forces marching, up in front you’re the one they’re watching
And you’re under attack, oh, you know you are under attack
All around you, voices whisper – hanging in the breath of the winter
In an instant –it’s rise or fall, into descent
Nothing matters, all that’s sacred, is the name you brave when you’re naked
Rise in ashes, relish the fear, in their lashes
Here in the spot where all sides collided, take it all, let no one divide it
Breathe a life to the flame, oh breathe life to the flame
Wolves in the pack never take the weak in, you’re feeling stronger with every second Never back to the same, oh, you are never the same
And now the ending’s in sight – through darkness there comes a light
All those that circle will seek to enter, set the trap for the very center
Let the battle begin, oh let the battle begin
Chill in the air as you reach the edges, living close to the steeping ledges
Oh, the haunted will win, only the haunted will win

By Your Side (Milligan/Norman)
Sits alone, he’s thinking “Is this life worth living?”
Memories once golden lay around you broken
One who really knew you, she could see right through you
Nothing really matters when everything has shattered
The wind is growing colder, I know you miss your Mother
Feel the pain you’re under, I love you like my brother
I have no magic words to use to make you feel all right
But if you need somebody I’ll be right here by your side
Time’s a sweet illusion, tears a sad conclusion
Shaking off those feeling, ones like when you’re dreaming
Echoes of her laughter and questions that you’d ask her
Something that could help to right the wrong you’ve been through
The wind is growing colder, I know you miss your Mother
Feel the pain you’re under, I love you like my brother
I have no magic words to use to make you feel all right
But if you need somebody I’ll be right here by your side
