Keys For Thieves

"Square One"

Verse 1

See me through your eyes...
Seeing through your disguise...
You cant fool me twice...
Cause' I've learned all your lies...

Chorus 1

But I really need to know!
Why!?
I think I need to go!
Cause' in the end you and I
When it's all said and done...
We'll be back to square one...
Back to square one...

Verse 2

See you through my eyes...
Can you see through my disguise?...
Do you know my life?...
Or should I break the ice?...

Chorus 2

Do you really wanna to know!?
Fine!
Will you listen close!?
Cause' in the end you and I
When it's all said and done...
We'll be back to square one...
Back to square one...

Verse 3

I think I'm alive, but I have no life...
Nothing's alright, but I guess its fine...
I'll start to  heal, but I'll lose my sight...
I wanna see, I wanna feel!
but you dont know, oh no you dont know...

Chorus 3

I think I need to go!
Now!
I think I need to go
Cause' in the end you and I..
We'll be back to square one...
Back to square one...

Square One

Intro

Lately I've been down
Feeling kinda dead but the ice is thin
So maybe...

You'll come around and be in my head
once again you say we're friends but to what end?

chorus

It's not about red lights or stop signs
its a fork ahead and there's no right path
there's only left...

So we can sit back and relax
we can do the math and be right back
where we left...

But seeing those eyes one more time
Makes me feel like im blind
When I forget...
So I say...

Verse 1

Save me, save me now
Im over the edge and I'm falling in
Oh save me...

Save me, before I drown
Im in over my head and I can't swim
Oh lately...

Lately I've been down
Feeling kinda dead but the ice is thin
So maybe...

You'll come around to be in my bed
once again you say we're friends but to what end?

chorus

It's not about red lights or stop signs
its a fork ahead and there's no right path
there's only left...

So we can sit back and relax
we can do the math and be right back
where we split...

But seeing those eyes one more time
Makes me feel....
Like I am...
Worthless...
To see...

Lately - Acoustic

[Chorus]

I see the light
And I feel alive
For the first time
Everything's right
And for the first time
I am alive.

[Verse]

I know where he is
You'll find he's at the end
In this, everyone wins
With this, forgive our sins.

[Chorus]

Let me be your guide
With me, you'll see the light
For the first time
You'll know whats right
For the first time
We'll be alive

[Verse]

Join us as I light the pyre
Come children, sit by the fire
Through the ashes, we'll meet again
He's waiting for us at the end.

[Bridge]

Don't listen to what they say
We showed them fire and they did the same
Now I'm tired, but you know the way
I know you'll find him beyond the gates

[Outtro]

Cause all they are is matchsticks
Cause all they are is matchsticks
Cause all they are is matchsticks
Cause all they are is matchsticks
Cause all we are is chosen.

Lyrics:

Tethered

[Verse]

Tethered down, now
To the ground no where to go

So cast the rope
Before I go on my own

Your breakng up
Im wakin'up to the phone

How did it come to this

[Chorus]

So this is how it's gonna be
Well alright
Well alright
Whatever

Now this kite is out of your reach
You wont find
You wont flnd
Another

Oh...no.

[Verse]

I'm free fly
I've seen the sights for me to know

I need a hand
To understand how to hold

I'm reaching out
Don't let me down when I float

I think she is it

[Chorus]

If this is how its gonna be,
I'm alright
I'm alright  
Together

Now this kite can finally breath
It don't mind
It don't mind
Being tethered

Now this kite is finally free
It don't mind
It don't mind
Being tethered

Oh...Now.

Tethered - Acoustic

Lyrics:


How innocent, they say
To the infants born today
Innocence they taint
With their ways

Like a venomous grace
A welcome to this place
Putting on a play
In a cage

They'll never even mention
The rules and obligations 
But everyone is playing
The game

So stand in line with all the rest
No need to know what happens next
Just work work work and collect your check
So you can impress all the faces

Stand in line with all the rest
No need to know what happens next
Just save save save whatever's left
Cause everything is for the taking

Stand in line with all the rest
No need to know what happens next
Just spend spend spend every cent
So you can feel relevant

They'll never even mention
The rules and obligations 
But everyone is playing
The game

How ignorant, they say
Cause life ain't all that great
But igorance and faith
Are the same

Look what you have made
A monster in the shade
All these paper slaves
To pay

So grab their attention
Make bread and circus for them
Everyone is paying
The game

They stand in line with all the rest
No need to know what happens next
They work work work and collect their checks
So they can impress other faces

Who stand in line with all the rest
No need to know what happens next
They slave slave slave for whatever's left
So they get by barely scraping

Stand in line with all the rest
No need to know what happens next
they spend spend spend every cent
So they can feel relevant

So grab their attention
Make bread and circus for them
Everyone is paying
The game

How did it get this way?
Cause life, ain't all that great
But do we wanna pay
The game?

How did it get this way?
We know it's a charade
But do we wanna play
The game?

Don't stand in line with all the rest
You need to know what happens next
Don't work work work to collect a check
Cause you're not impressing any faces

Who stand in line with all the rest
You need to know what happens next
Don't save save save for whatever's left
Cause there's no way you'll ever make it

Stand in line with all the rest
You need to know what happens next
So spend spend spend all your sense
Cause you're already relevant
