bending all my habits
when i cared about my status
let it go

no such thing as magic
i'm an artist with my tactics
you should know

middle meanings, it’s a lot to get out
getting even,
getting caught on the ground
[i was caught on the ground]

i could walk away, creased and folded
i could take another seat and hold my
own

i wasn’t
gonna run away,
but i was there today
set it off
set it off
set it off
set it right

this doesn’t
have to end this way
but i was there today
set it off
set it off
set it off
set it right

shaking out the fabric
made up what was lacking
on my own

messin’ with the magic
you were moving, i was static
you should know

i was so solo, and i got hollow
how did it feel for you to say
so clearly

you could walk away, creased and folded
you could take another seat and
hold your own

i wasn’t
gonna run away,
but i was there today

set it off
set it off
set it off

set it right
this doesn’t
have to end this way
but i was there today

set it off
set it off
set it off
set it right

Set It Off, Set It Right

Lyrics: 

Sentiment, all I had
I was down, paperweights on my back
Desert sand covering up my tracks
Oh my brother, don't make all those plans

Sentiment left its mark
Got me spinning around in the dark
Swept the dust off my hands in the park
Oh my brother don’t pull it apart

Did I lose touch?
     Or did I take too much?
     Did I prove enough
     On the eve of rush?
 
Did I lose touch?
    Or did I take too much?
    Did I prove enough
    On the eve of rush?

Sentiment all I had
I was down paperweights on my back
Give it all to show you my trust, or run out my luck, the time is up
Oh I know I’m not above being not enough when I’m in the dust

Sentiment left its mark
Kept me spinning around in the dark
Building all the walls around us, and filling my cup, but only just
Oh, I know I'm not above being strong enough when I'm in the dust

Did I lose touch?
     Or did I take too much?
     Did I prove enough
     On the eve of rush?

Did I lose touch?
    Or did I take too much?
    Did I prove enough
    On the eve of rush?

Lyrics
Follow my eyes
I’ve got something to live for 
Walkin’ the line
to show I’m not, I’m not alone 
Hmm 

Burnin’ the signs
but it's never that simple
Left it behind
but in my mind, it's never gone hmm 

Count all the set-backs and let it all go 
Throw it away but it’s stuck on your clothes 
What are you hiding?
What are you running from?
 
So wait for 
The fire
Cuz you don't know what's higher 
You don't know what's higher 
So wait for 
The fire
Cuz you don't know what's higher 
You don't know what's higher 
than this 

There’s something in the way that you walk away 
and when you come back
it’s all the same
oh nothing’s changed 

How could I get back and let it all go 
Throw it away but it’s stuck on my clothes 
What am I hiding?
What am I running from? 

So wait for 
The fire
Cuz you don't know what's higher 
You don't know what's higher 
So wait for 
The fire
Cuz you don't know what's higher 
You don't know what's higher 
than this 

You don’t what is coming
You don’t what you’re running from 
You don’t what has fallen
You don’t what you’re running from 
You don’t what is coming
You don’t what you’re running from 
You don’t what has fallen
You don’t what you’re running from 

So wait for 
The fire
Cuz you don't know what's higher 
You don't know what's higher 
than this

Higher Than This

Coal and flame
Melting those ice hands
An air of mixed feelings
Beneath fallen ceilings

Seal the gates
Before what's out is in
Or offer a treaty
A chance for reprieve

Just let these tunnels cave
Just let this fire fade

Maybe the sky'll break
We're just a lie away
From proving to ourselves we're not afraid

And now
These silver screens
These scripted dreams

And now,
We're suddenly 
Fates latest casualties

Reprieve

Spend all my time in another place
I'm building a runway for a paper plane
Look at me baby I'm a runaway
Bags in the trunk of my '88

Oh!
Let it be our escape
Let us make our mistakes
Living in these tidal waves

Oh! 
Let it be our escape
And when we separate
Don't forget these tidal waves

Spend all my time in another place
I'm building a runway for a paper plane
Quicken our steps as we walk away
Holes in my pockets but gold in my locket

Oh!
Let it be our escape
Let us make our mistakes
Living in these tidal waves

Oh! 
Let it be our escape
And when we separate
Don't forget these tidal waves

I think I'm going crazy
You said to leave later
Don't know about you but I can feel it in this room

Let's fall a little deeper
I know you're not a keeper
Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru

Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru
Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru

It's 4 in the morning
You've caught me in a moment
Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru

And all of our reason
Lost to deceiving
Ooh I tried to make it thru

Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru
Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru
Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru
Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru

Sky's reaching out I want it
To take us back home again
And all of your holding on
it's getting lost in my head

And oh, your love is 
All I wanted to save

Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru

Thru

Look back
To when midnights broke their sleep
Awake in our memories
Of when we would make believe

Collide
Colors of the masquerade
Watch as they fall away
Faceless under faces made

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Spring would lie in summer showers
In my hair were winter flowers

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Seasons multiplying power
That I found in winter flowers

Turn back
I see rivers beyond the line
Ancient roads in broken design
Angels running thru our minds

Look up
Your city's built on marble floors
Neon lights in the falling snow
Those night back in tokyo

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Spring would lie in summer showers
In my hair were winter flowers

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Seasons multiplying power
That I found in winter flowers

And we said
This has only just begun
In the end
Time forever favors the young

And we said
This has only just begun
In the end
Time forever favors the young

Young

Lyrics

On your eyelids
Orbits lighted
Stories in the lines across your face

Thought and reason
Reappearing 
Holding out your hands against the race

And I didn’t think I would stay for this
And you didn’t think I would go
But now we’re alone in the atmosphere
A place I’ll never know
And nothing goes unspoken 
When the colors unfold
Cuz now we’re alone in the atmosphere
Oh

And I realized
This is paradise
Almost paradise
Here in paradise
And my heart was taken by the surprise
This is paradise
This is paradise

And now we’re alone in the atmosphere and I’m fading
Here we are 
Here we are
And now we’re alone in the atmosphere and I’m fading
Here we are
Here we are

Towards the evening
Shadows kneeling
Down for all the triumph that we’ve made

So paint your solace 
And hold what’s honest
Glory doesn’t come for those who wait

And I didn’t think I would stay for this
And you didn’t think I would go
but now we’re alone in the atmosphere
A place I’ll never know
And nothing goes unspoken 
When the colors unfold
Cuz now we’re alone in the atmosphere
Oh

And I realized
This is paradise
Almost paradise
Here in paradise
And my heart was taken by the surprise
This is paradise
This is paradise

And now we’re alone in the atmosphere and I’m fading
Here we are 
Here we are
And now we’re alone in the atmosphere and I’m fading
Here we are
Here we are

Lyrics

Daylight grows
Rising from the East again
Oh my mind is woke
But my heart it never slept

And truth be told
I’m ready for the sky to light
With the alpenglow

Saw it in a fading dream
The world we knew is obsolete
Never thought our time would come to end

But silence isn’t all it seems
Knowing that my heart still beats
Suddenly my feet were found again

(I’ve been waiting on tonight)
 I…
 Thought the future was for giving
 And the past was just for living
(In your eyes)
 I…
 And this is where the truth begins

The story goes
That I can’t comprehend
What time bestows
On youthful innocence

But now I know
That the seasons turn and end
And I won’t let go

So listen to that symphony,
Ringing out into the streets
Never will I lose myself again

And simple though the imagery,
It’s turning into all I see
Suddenly my feet were found again

(I've been waiting on tonight)
 I…
 Thought the future was for giving
 And the past was just for living
(In your eyes)
        Eyes...
 And this is where the truth begins

I’ve been waiting on tonight
Crystallize, crystallize
I’ve been looking in your eyes
We're on the rise, on the rise
We're on the rise, on the rise

Lyrics

Light falls
On the pavement 
Wakeful 
With my guard let down

Holding tightly to the words you gave me 
Under oath the minute I said maybe

Steady dedication
In my resignation
Empty handed 'cause I live in daydreams
That's why I haven’t shown my face here lately

(Say it to my heart and run)
And I don’t know what I was running from
(And run)
But I knew you’d say it to my heart and run

You knew it from the start 
You've won, you’ve won, you’ve won

You knew it from the start 
You’ve won, you’ve won, you’ve won

So blame it on my heart 
And run, and run, and run

So blame it on my heart 
And run, and run, and run, and run

Hopeful, but impatient 
Floating so I’m not tied down
I'm becoming what the Fable gave me
Stepping sideways off the path of safety

So I could say to you that I was wrong, and go on with it or 
I could play the fool and be outdone 
But my defense your honor waits above
I’m becoming what the Fable made me

(Say it to my heart and run)
And I don’t know what I was running from
(And run)
But I knew you’d say it to my heart and run

You knew it from the start 
You've won, you’ve won, you’ve won

You knew it from the start 
You’ve won, you’ve won, you’ve won

So blame it on my heart 
And run, and run, and run

So blame it on my heart 
And run, and run, and run, and run

Lyrics

When the distance bends the gravity
Of the sentiments I hide 
In my heart I'll build a castle I could find

And if the planets speak to me
Of the doubts that stir my mind
I'll turn them into ornaments of light

Cause somewhere in the darkness there's a fire bright
And though it's distant I can feel it when I close my eyes (ooh)
And what if it's the shadows that'll prove the light
Then maybe it was my mistakes that gave me life
Gave me life

So as fate gives way to decency
And the mountains catch alight
It's a token of their ordinance tonight

And I'll explain my reasoning
When the time is right
Til then, I'll take my secret and reside

Cause somewhere in the darkness there's a fire bright
And though it's distant I can feel it when I close my eyes (ooh)
And what if it's the shadows that'll prove the light
Then maybe it was my mistakes that gave me life
Gave me life

And now we're one step closer to our wonderment
At how our footprints set into the gold
But don't forget to take it slow
Don't forget to take it slow

As distance bent the gravity
Of the sentiments I'd hide
In my heart, I built a castle
How could I?

Oh this is just the final day
The fight you gave 
The fight I gave up

You burnt your lips cuz you’re unafraid
The light you gave
The light I gave up

Well I set it out in the fire blue  
Your heart was in the valley too
In the desert I will carry you
I'll carry you
I'll carry you

And if this is the price to pay
You'll never look the other way
You'll never look the other way
Oh   

Catch me
Oh my heart is steady
Oh my light is growing 
We’re standing in oceans
 
Oh this is just the final game
The fight you gave
The fight I gave up

Dismiss the words that your eyes betray
The light you gave
The light I gave up

If it's all I do
My heart beats true, and
With all I forgave
If this was ours again
I'd set it aflame
So

Catch me
Oh my heart is steady
Oh my light is growing
We’re standing in oceans

Lyrics:

What did you say
All my fight is running out
I've gotta go now

Well did you know
All the reasons I would turn back
I'll never show
Then you found out

Oh light, light, light was on the water
I was only watching til' the tide gave way

Could you grow, grow, grow a little faster
I could only tell you what it's gonna take

And time,
You are a little bit slow
And time, 
You all lost control
And we are always walking to the end

What did you say
While hoping for the best
I'd never let go

Well did you know
I was turning myself backwards again
But your heart felt
So settled too

You know I'm running straight for you
Ooh, on the water
I'll light up with the fire
I'll let go

And time,
You are a little bit slow
And time, 
You all lost control
And we are always walking to the end
