"The End Of Nothing"
 
Killing you
Might be the only chance I have
Of recovery
But I know it's so severe
As you know it would be
The punishment, it fits the crime.

So let's take this knife (Take this knife)
And run it down your chest
Does this feel like love? (Feel like love)
Here we are waiting
So let's take this knife
And run it down your chest
Does this feel like love?
Here we are waiting

The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you'll have to wear this week
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you'll have to wear this week

Killing me
Might be the only chance you have
Of recovering
But I know it's so severe
As you know it would be
The punishment, it fits your crime.

So let's take this knife (Take this knife)
And run it down your chest
Does this feel like love? (Feel like love)
Here we are waiting
So let's take this knife
And run it down your chest
Does this feel like love?
Here we are waiting

The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you'll have to wear this week
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you'll have to wear this week

You and I, will die alone tonight
You and I, will lie alone tonight
You and I, will die alone tonight
You and I, will die alone.

The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you'll have to wear this week
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you'll have to wear this week

"Alvarez"
 
The stars will be your nightlights tonight
And I will be your lullaby

They dragged it up
And continued with the beatings
And how you bleed, oh
Yes, you could bleed forever
And it burns and leaves the rope tied tonight
It burns and leaves the rope tied

The stars will be your nightlights tonight
And I will be your lullaby

Another finger lost
What use do you have for those eyes in your head
You took and killed
Everything about me
It burns and leaves the rope tied tonight
It burns and leaves the rope tied

The stars will be your nightlights tonight
And I will be your lullaby
And the stars will be your nightlights tonight
And I will be your lullaby
Good night

So disgusted with it
You took your sweet time
So let's get out of this town
So let's get out of this town
So disgusted with it
And you took your sweet time
So let's get out of this town
So let's get out of this town
And start this day all over and over again

Just like the good old days
You wipe the stains from off of your face
Just forget her and, just forget her and,

Just like the good old days
You wipe the stains from off of your face
And forget her and, just forget her

Best line I heard all day
You're too much of a good thing
Too much of a good thing

"Sonny"
 
You are bleak
You are beautiful
No matter what they say

With this light
And tired childish games
Swept us all away

Sing it out
Sing it out for all of us
Sing it out
Sing it out for all of us

This is strange
This is wonderful
This grip chokes us all

It takes time
More than we have
So what have we done?
No

Sing it out
Sing it out for all of us
Sing it out
Sing it out for all of us

It takes time
Please tell me what we’ve done
It takes time
Please tell me what have we done, no

Sing it out
Sing it out for all of us
Sing it out
Sing it out for all of us

"Into Oblivion (Reunion)"
 
The days I've felt alone
And the sea, it brings me back again
So that I can see my wife
And I can see my child
Home, I'm home, it never changes
Same old faces, same old places

I stared into oblivion
And found my own
I stared into oblivion
Into oblivion

Find in me the hope
That you have never known
Find in us the faith
The faith to bring you home

I stared into oblivion
And found my own
I stared into oblivion
And found my own
I stared into oblivion
And found my own reflection there (reflection there)

Home, now that I'm coming home
Will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed
Home, now that I'm coming home
Will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed
Home, now that I'm coming home
Will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed

I stared into oblivion
(And found my own)
I stared into oblivion
(And found my own)
I stared into oblivion
(And found my own)
I stared into oblivion
And found my own reflection there

"The Great Wide Open"
 
Spitting from the bridges, like a bird perched on a branch,
I'm wilting like a tree that will never let me breathe.

Soul soldier with your gun held high, where does the crow fly,
soul soldier with your gun held high, will you follow it home.

For the road that we walk has more miles left to talk,
stories on and on we go, into the great wide open.

No it never came back to break me, the way it broke it down,
spitting from the bridges, while the trees give a soft sigh to the ground.

Soul sailor with your flag held high, where does the crow fly,
soul sailor with your flag held high, will you follow it home.

For the road that we walk has more miles left to talk,
stories on and on we go, into the great wide open.
For the road that we walk has more miles left to talk,
stories on and on we go, into the great wide open, into the great wide open.

The rush of the flood, sends the blood, to my head,
the rush of the flood, sends the blood, to my head,

Soul soldier with your gun held high, where does the crow fly
soul soldier with your gun held high, will you follow it home.

The rush of the flood, sends the blood, to my head,
the rush of the flood, sends the blood, to my head.

Climb out, climb out (woah), climb out, climb out (woah),
Climb out, climb out (woah), over me.
Climb out, climb out (woah), climb out, climb out (woah),
Climb out, climb out (woah), over me.

Into the great wide open.

"The Diary"
 
And it came from nothing
But there was always something
And when the sky burned brighter
And the nights grew darker

Hold on to everyone
That I hold dearest
To my heart
And I won't forget them

I won't forget them

Fading, always fading
Never needed more
Waiting, always waiting
Scraped across the wooden floor

And the passing time
Reaches Out
And Covers Me
With Images
Of everyone that I have known
Are ever hard to see

And I won't forget them
And I won't forget them

Fading, always fading
Never needed more
Waiting, always waiting
Scraped across the wooden floor

When the day is done
Another setting sun is down
When the day is done
Another setting sun

Waiting, always waiting
Scraped across the wooden floor

Scraped across the wooden floor
When will you be coming home?
Scraped across the wooden floor
When will you be coming home?
Scraped across the wooden floor
When will you be coming home?

Scraped across the wooden floor

"On A Wire"
 
I'm on fire
Close to the water
And I'll be saved again
Staring at the ocean, over and over
Will I ever see them again?

Why'd they leave so soon?

Find a way to bring me home
I don't wanna be alone again
Not again
Find a ship to take me home
I don't wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again

I'm on a wire, over the border
And I'll be safe again
Living on an island, over and over
I don't think I'll see them again

Why'd they leave so soon?

Find a way to bring me home
I don't wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again

As the daylight fades (daylight fades)
I am a broken man, all alone
As the daylight fades (daylight fades)
And I'm just a broken man
All alone, with no hope

You are an island

Find a ship to take me home
I don't wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again

Find a ship to take me home
I don't wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again

You are an island
All alone in your silence

"All Hands On Deck Part 1: Raise The Sail"
 
Horizon shows the signs,
the eye is getting closer,
birds don't fear the sky,
the clouds are looming over,
the vessel breaks the back it takes,
another wave that we must face.

Raise the sail,
as we all,
feel powerless.
Raise the sail,
as we all,
feel powerless.

Bloody hands reach out,
violence breaks my body,
drowning in the sea,
lifeboats lost without them,
the vessel breaks the it takes,
another wave that we must face.

Raise the sail,
as we all,
feel powerless.
Raise the sail,
as we all,
feel powerless.
Drowning in the wake,
as we all feel powerless.

Under crests of stars, water breaks a broken heart.
Under crests of stars, water breaks a broken heart.
Under crests of stars, water breaks a broken heart.

"All Hands On Deck Part 2: Open Water"
 
Awake, I am awake,
and I'm still alive out here,
awake, I am awake
and I'm still alive out here,
blinded, by this light,
it is all that surrounds me.

Deep water, I can smell the blood,
how long, how long before they come,
showing teeth, bearing fever, lost in open water,
until they find, finds us all, lost with all the shipwreck.

Deep water, I can smell the blood,
how long, how long before they come.
Waves crashed upon the shore, and time and time again,
we lost control. Am I too far gone to be saved,
lost in the water all alone, am I too far gone to be saved.
Lost in the water all alone, am I too far gone, too far gone to be saved.

Waves crashed upon the shore, and time and time again,
we lost control.
Waves crashed upon the shore, and time and time again, we lost control,
and I lost control.
