Lyrics:

"White Lights"

Bitter 'til the bitter end
Have we been diving down the shallow end of life? (Life)
Heaven sent oblivion
When it's all said and done we're all lost in time (Why try?)
Searching for the family that you never ever had
Was it ever so bad? (Oh no)
Dreaming of a better me
Without you all I can do is just wish and wait for the
Tide to rise and take you away
As you wander off you parade through the rain
The melody I wrote the glass will be stained
And by morning light you are the one to illuminate me

Nothing weighs me down
Nothing in the air that I have found
The snow is so serene
Warmth of the tidings that you bring
You've never felt so cold
You long for a hand to hold so
Close your eyes and drive yourself
Beyond these white lights

Now I'm bitter in the falling rain
As the pain pain pain of our memories reflect upon the ground
Our better days are silhouettes in the rear view mirror
Heaven sent oblivion my heart will burn burn burn
And if I cry out loud would you hear me?
Even though the seasons change
You're left here wishing waiting for the
Tide to rise and take me away
As I wander off nothing left to say but replay
The melody I wrote the glass will be stained
And by candlelight I am the one to illuminate you

Nothing weighs me down
Nothing in the air that I have found
The snow is so serene
Warmth of the tidings that you bring
You've never felt so cold
You long for a hand to hold so
Close your eyes and drive yourself
Beyond these white lights [x3]

For every day you've lost I would
Would replace
And every soul you've touched I would
Would embrace
But until then...

Nothing weighs me down
Nothing in the air that I have found
The snow is so serene
Warmth of the tidings that you bring
You've never felt so cold
You long for a hand to hold so
Close your eyes and drive yourself
Beyond these white lights

Lyrics:

"Making Friends With Failure"

I heard they caught a ride
To the desert dreaming of a river flowin'
But the barren land was dry
It was only days 'til they got moving on
He told his kids and wife
They could live in paradise upon the shore
But it was all a lie
They were swallowed up left on the ocean floor

So why
Do the best intentions
Turn, turn, turn the devil blue
Cause I'm making friends with failure
Wondering if it all comes true

She threw her life away
But was it worth more than love and opportunity
(Oh no no no)
Her humble family
Was torn apart by the very one who bears her name
Her years of accolade
Were not enough to return them to her lonely grave
Now she disintegrates
Into a sea of human flesh and waves of clay

So why
Do the best intentions
Turn, turn, turn the devil blue
Cause I'm making friends with failure
Wondering if it all comes true

Oh why
Do the best intentions
Turn, turn, turn the devil blue
Cause I'm making friends with failure
Wondering if it all comes true (x2)

I met the strangest man
He said to take what you have learned and go with chance
Now here we are again
It's no mistake that failure makes me who I am
Failure makes me who I am

But why
Do the best intentions
Turn, turn, turn the devil blue (devil blue)
Cause I'm making friends with failure
Wondering if it all comes true

Oh why
Do the best intentions
Turn, turn, turn the devil blue
Cause I'm making friends with failure
Wondering if it all comes true (x2)

Lyrics:

I remember when the world gave up
Everybody pitching in to watch humanity wear thin
I testified on the day God died
As my battle cry echoed like a tidal wave caves in

I was looking for a light I was living in a lie
I was haunted by the ghosts around me
And the harder that I tried I've been giving all my life
Now I'm driving down a one way street

But I still fuel the fire
In the dark of the night
You will see me explode
I will light up the sky

Take your shots I'm an easy target
But you'll never see the devil in me
Just an angel with an empty heart
I'm living I'm learning I'm breathing

Take me back to where we started
Cut me open and watch me bleed
My legacy begins where we part
I'm living I'm learning I'm breathing

Every soul's got a place to hide
When the world's unkind and the apathy sets in
I remember when the walls were crumbling
I was your shelter I was your snake skin

You could preach it to the heartless
But I look into your darkness
Taking me to places I've never been
A second chance it couldn't harm this
But I gave you up regardless
I reckon you lost your everything

But I still fuel the fire
In the dark of the night
You will see me explode
I will light up the sky

[Chorus]

I could drain my eyes
I could pray to the sea
But the sun won’t shine comfort or sympathy
If the fallen rise
And the broken dream
I will change my life this is my legacy

[Chorus]
