They're yelling as loud as they can, over a loudspeaker. 
And looking around, no one else can hear. 
They're always hiding, and I'm the seeker. 
The voices are always ringing, loud and clear.

Voices

I'm reaching for you but you're so far away 
My mind is on fire, trying to find the words to 
Saying things to you 
You would never understand 
Now we're on a crash course and we're about to land 

Can I not be seen? 
Can I not be hear? 
I hope you know that when we talk I hang on every single word 
And you hold my heart with an iron grip 
Why do you hold my heart so tight if you won't take care of it? 

Why can't I get you out 
Out of my brain 
If I think about you just one more time, I might go 
Insanely, crazy, and deeply. 
Head over heels for you 
Why do I convince myself if I have the chance if I know that it's just not true. 

Can I not be seen? 
Can I not be hear? 
I hope you know that when we talk I hang on every single word 
And you hold my heart with an iron grip 
Why do you hold my heart so tight if you won't take care of it? 

Screaming to be heard 

Now I don't care to be seen 
And I don't need to be heard 
Can you even hear at all 
Cause you haven't heard a word. 
You used to hold my heart with an iron grip. You once held my heart so tight but now I do not care a bit.

Iron Grip

We're flying blind with no destination in mind 
No looking back, just looking with forward eyes 
We're on our way, with nothing but emptiness in mind 

Get out of our way 
We can't see you 
Looking for our way 
We can't be you 
We're 1, 2, 3 of a kind 
And we're flying blind. 

We're flying fast, blindfolded hands behind us. 
With uncontainable, uncontrolled wanderlust. 

Get out of our way 
We can't see you 
Looking for our way 
We can't be you 
We're 1, 2, 3 of a kind 
And we're flying blind. 

We're flying blind. 

Get out of our way 
We can't see you 
Looking for our way 
We can't be you 
We're 1, 2, 3 of a kind 
And we're flying blind. 

We're flying blind 

Get out of our way 
We can't see you 
Looking for our way 
We can't be you 
We're 1, 2, 3 of a kind 
And we're flying blind.

Flying Blind

On this track, we don't like the government. 

Seeing pictures of a coward, driven mad with power today
Driving me nuts, totally insane,
We've got to break free is all i'm trying to say

A dignity, a purpose, America's no game.

You see all I want is freedom
I will not be caged.

I can see through all you're tricks
And you're oh so very slick in your ways
You're at the top of the chain, but to me, you're last degree. 
Until I can make a change, you've got to control what you say.

To your minions you're a leader, but you'll never be for me. 

You see all I want is freedom
I will not be caged.

You see all I want is freedom
I will not be caged.

Freedom

Things you wish you said, wish you could say, and things you know you'll never say.

I used to roll the dice for you 
I used to take a shot in the dark 
Now putting my thoughts together, I don't even know where to start. 
'Cause there's a fork in the road 
And a knife right in my heart 

And it hurts to see you 
Standing with him 
Cause you're just me 
But in different skin 
It cuts me deep to know I screwed this up again 
There are countless messages I know I'll never send 

This time, there's no second chance 
This time I don't get a recall 
I wish that I could, but I can't 
I'm losing my head in a free fall 

And it hurts to see you 
Standing with him 
Cause you're just me 
But in different skin 
It cuts me deep to know I screwed this up again 
There are countless messages I know I'll never send 

Hurts to see you 
Standing with him 
Cause you're just me 
But in different skin 

You're lost again 

I can't even begin to tell you what I should do 
It seems my only reason for being, is being with you 
I'm counting all the seconds, seeing black windows, I can't choose 
I'm busting up my shoulders hitting brick walls, I can't break through.

Different Skin

This song is about chicks, man

When you walk down the street 
People kiss your feet 
I don't even bother getting on my knees 

Cause you lost me girl 
Yeah you lost me 

Used to be my friend 
But now you're gone 
Used to walk hand in hand 
But now you're gone 

Did it really even matter 
What mattered to me 
Cause now I'm seeing something 
You clearly didn't see 

Because you chopped me girl 
You cut and chopped me 

Used to be my friend 
But now you're gone 
Used to walk hand in hand 
But now you're gone

Now You're Gone

This song is about losing your mind and having the weight of the world breaking your back, and not caring at all.

Today I woke up on empty
Today I'll sleep standing up
People around me, they frenzy
I just do not care enough to try

Give it time
What they say when they have no idea
Stand in line
As they run in circles and make it worse because
I don't buy all the false conversations made with smiles
Save my time and just wave me on

I don't need your pity anyway

Give me a break
I'm about to slam on the brakes
And spin out into another sleepless night
Another tragic time
A staring contest between the wall and I

Tonight the crossroads are unending
Tonight I'll take the right turn
Pressures around unrelenting
It's not my time to crash and burn

I don't need you looking over my shoulder
Checking my routes
Backing me into corners
Take a huge step back, 'cause I don't want your orders
My patience is already short and it's getting shorter 

Screw you

Give me a break
I'm about to slam on the brakes
And spin out into another sleepless night
Another tragic time
A staring contest between the wall and I

Give me a break
I'm about to slam on the brakes
And spin out into another sleepless night
Another tragic time
A staring contest between the wall and I
