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:

Falling too fast to prepare for this
Tripping in the world could be dangerous
Everybody circling, it's vulturous
Negative, nepotist

Everybody waiting for the fall of man
Everybody praying for the end of times
Everybody hoping they could be the one
I was born to run, I was born for this

Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up

Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top I'm ready for
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes

Always had a fear of being typical
Looking at my body feeling miserable
Always hanging on to the visual
I wanna be invisible

Looking at my years like a martyrdom
Everybody needs to be a part of 'em
Never be enough, I'm the prodigal son
I was born to run, I was born for this

Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up

Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top, I'm ready for
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes

Hypocritical, egotistical
Don't wanna be the parenthetical, hypothetical
Working onto something that I'm proud of, out of the box
An epoxy to the world and the vision we've lost
I'm an apostrophe
I'm just a symbol to remind you that there's more to see
I'm just a product of the system, a catastrophe
And yet a masterpiece, and yet I'm half-diseased
And when I am deceased
At least I go down to the grave and die happily
Leave the body and my soul to be a part of thee
I do what it takes

Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top, I'm ready for
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
