1.	Soul Coma 01:48	lyrics	buy track
"Today, we come across an individual who behaves like an automaton Who does not know or understand himself And the only person that he knows is the person that he is supposed to be Whose meaningless chatter has replaced communicative speech Whose synthetic smile has replaced a genuine laughter And whose sense of dull despair has taken the place of genuine pain At the same time he does not differ from the millions of the rest of us who walk upon this earth." Sabotage your dreams and your hopes Internalize that you can’t be loved You can be anything, anything you want As long as you accept that you’re flawed You’re a victim of the soul coma No, no, no And there’s no one that will ever love you No, no, no No, no "Welcome user number 1 1 2 4 Your files indicate you've been trying to express... feelings, thoughts, ideas. This violates contentment ordinance. You are being sentenced to: 41 hours in contentment simulator. Administering tranquilizer. Commencing simulation in 3... 2... 1..."
2.	Not The Only One 03:56	lyrics	buy track
Break the mold and make a scene Come on Light it up like gasoline Bridges gonna burn before you’re free But you don’t have to be like them Let 'em try and take your dreams Bare your soul and stand alone for your beliefs Forging your own path you’ll have to bleed But you don't have to be like them (Don't have to be like them) When you feel alone You’re not the only one When you’re losing hope You’re not the only one Feel like giving up You’re not the only one You’re not the only one (That's right!) You’re not the flavor of the week Keep it real there’s no appeal in personality plastic surgery Live out loud be who you want to be Cause you don't have to be like them When you feel alone You’re not the only one When you’re losing hope You’re not the only one Feel like giving up You’re not the only one You’re not the only one Torn apart It's ok to be hurt there’s good inside you There’s good inside you Torn apart And buried from the start You’ll explode and break the mold and let 'em go You’re not alone You’re not alone You’re not alone You’re not alone You’re not alone You’re not alone (You're not alone!) When you feel alone You’re not the only one When you’re losing hope You’re not the only one Feel like giving up You’re not the only one You’re not the only one You’re not the only one (Break the mold and make a scene) You’re not the only one (You're not the flavor of the week) Come on You’re not the only one
3.	Danger 04:19	lyrics	buy track
Don't believe a word they say Don't believe a word they say Don't believe a word they say They say they'll fill you up but they only break you down And once they crawl inside they have you figured out As they crush your spirit blind your vision Taking every word and twisting Every move's are wrong decision Paralyzed with doubt They'll try to set you right by pushing you around As you get victimized you barley make a sound 'cause the virus is designed to hack into your mind And leave a gaping hole inside so you can't know yourself Don't believe a word Danger Their subliminal lies are in our minds Receiving danger, the war is real Screaming danger When you awaken inside you come alive Perceiving danger The war is real They swore they'd help you but they just implanted fear Now shame and brainwashing is all that you can hear So remove the chip through the incision Break your chains, escape your prison Rip the skin and the syringe that pumps you full of doubt No time to sympathize there is only time to run And as the sirens sound your life has just begun 'cause the virus is designed to hack into your mind Trust your gut, complete your mission, sound the warning call Danger Their subliminal lies are in our minds Receiving danger, the war is real Screaming danger When you awaken inside you come alive Perceiving danger The war is real Millions of lives get vaporized but we don't flinch We're closing our eyes as all the lies fill the syringe They'll poison your mind like cyanide if you believe But I don't I don't believe a word you say Don't believe a word they say Don't believe a word they say Don't believe a word they say Don't believe a word Danger Their subliminal lies are in our minds Receiving danger, the war is real Screaming danger When you awaken inside you come alive Perceiving danger The war is real

I’ve seen a side of me that I cannot believe A broken piece that I can’t recover I’ve seen a side of me that’s dying to be free Become a part of me Make me over I’ve seen a side of me Broken and atrophied A sick disease that I can’t recover I’ve seen a side of me That’s dying to be free Become a part of me Make me over Make me ovеr Make me over (oh, you savе me, save me, save me) You are the one who makes me shine You are the one who makes me fly You are the one who makes me strive Yeah you make me over Make me over I’ve seen a side of me A side that’s filled with greed Too sick and selfish to help another Your spirit filling me Is helping me to see Where I am weak you make stronger I’ve seen a side of me It’s my humanity Becoming brave as you make me over I’ve seen a side of me That’s dying to be free Become a part of me Make me over (oh, you save me, save me, save me) You are the one who makes me shine You are the one who makes me fly You are the one who makes me strive Yeah, you make me over Make me over Make me over Make me over Make me (Yeah!

6.	Will You Ever Know Me 04:04	lyrics	buy track
Will you ever (know me?) How many years will it take to feel safe? How many years will it take to feel I’m home? I don’t know How many years will it take to feel brave? How many years will take to let you go? I don’t know The part of me that’s stuck here waiting I ache for you to find To tell me that you loved me all along Will you ever know me? Will you ever grow? Will you ever show me what it’s like to feel home? Your child is lonely Your child is cold Will you ever hold me Make me warm, make me whole? How many times will I make this mistake And lead you from the dark Even though I know you won’t go? How many times will I fall on my face? How many times will I need to be alone? I don’t know The part of me that’s stuck here waiting I ache for you to find To tell me that you loved me all along Will you ever know me? Will you ever grow? Will you ever show me what it’s like to feel home? Your child is lonely Your child is cold Will you ever hold me Make me warm, make me whole? Maybe I’m just meant to heal this Maybe I’m just meant to feel this Maybe you’re not meant to see inside Maybe you’re too hurt to heal and Maybe you’re too scared to feel And if I’m meant to do this on my own My own Will you ever know me? Will you ever grow? Will you ever show me what it’s like to feel home? Your child is lonely Your child is cold Will you ever hold me Make me warm, make me whole? Make me whole

Everyone needs support sometimes Everyone needs a friend Everyone needs some love sometimes Someone who understands You say you make mistakes sometimes And you’re scared that’s not okay You say you get afraid sometimes That I wanna run away Wanna know the truth? I can’t stop loving you No matter what you do I can’t stop loving you Every day is new I can’t stop loving you No matter what you do I can’t stop loving I can’t stop loving you Everyone needs advice sometimes To navigate the way And everyone needs a person who believes they have the strength And I believe in you Wanna know the truth? I can’t stop loving you No matter what you do I can’t stop loving you Every day is new I can’t stop loving you No matter what you do I can’t stop loving I can’t stop loving you Today might be harder than the last But soon we’ll get to leave it in the past There are no conditions of my love My love Love Wanna know the truth? I can’t stop loving you (I can’t stop loving you) I can’t stop loving you (I can’t stop loving you) I can’t stop loving you Wanna know the truth? I can’t stop loving you No matter what you do I can’t stop loving you Every day is new I can’t stop loving you No matter what you do I can’t stop loving I can’t stop loving you
8.	Fire Roar 02:46	lyrics	buy track
I fight ‘cause I believe Crashing down into the quantum waves Broken wreckage, toxic waste I’m better off out on my own Adrenaline extrapolating rage While passion's motivating change My heart’s burning with anger I fight ‘cause I believe Feel the fire roar So hot you can’t ignore it Feel the fire roar They’ll never take our dreams Feel the fire roar And you’ve been waiting for it Feel the fire roar I fight ‘cause I believe Drowning in the mud and toxic shame Where all the problems stay the same I’m fighting for the future's hope Tension builds as plasma radiates Just light the spark, ignite the flame No, I won’t take this anymore! I fight 'cause I believe Feel the fire roar So hot you can’t ignore it Feel the fire roar They’ll never take our dreams Feel the fire roar And you’ve been waiting for it Feel the fire roar I fight ‘cause I believe I’m fighting for my dreams Feel the fire roar I fight ‘cause I believe Feel the fire roar I fight ‘cause I believe Feel the fire roar I fight ‘cause I believe They’ll never take our dreams Feel the fire roar So hot you can’t ignore it Feel the fire roar I fight ‘cause I believe
9.	Antidote 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Faith is not a “feelings antidote” Faith will never take the place of pain and fear Fake believers artificial hope Changing others like they're looking in the mirror Do you know why, know why, you’re looking for the antidote? And know why, know why, you’re looking for somebody in the mirror? Know why, know why Addicted to the pain we push inside ‘Cause we’re too afraid to feel Something real Always looking for a way to cope A relationship that doesn’t make you feel You paint a picture of perfection But their approval it won't ever ever make you real Do you know why, know why, you’re looking for the antidote? And know why, know why, you’re looking for somebody in the mirror? Know why, know why Addicted to the pain we push inside ‘Cause we’re too afraid to feel Something real Criticizing vulnerability you say that it is weak Treating people like they're property you own Then you hide behind the walls that you create And play the victim when you always feel alone The greed and selfishness we put upon ourselves An identity that doesn’t have a soul A fucking hypocrite A liar who just wants control (control) You never had control (control) (That's right!) Do you know why, know why, you’re looking for the antidote? And you know why, know why, you’re looking for somebody in the mirror? Know why, know why Addicted to the pain we push inside ‘Cause we’re too afraid to feel Something real

11.	Best Year Of Your Life 04:34	lyrics	buy track
One day the earth opened up and A brand new star was born And told she couldn’t shine above the world As time went on with nothing fitting She did the best she could Pretending she was happy in the dark She always knew that something's missing Her heart screaming with no one listening Some things are just needed from the start And it’s about time For the best year of your life The one that you’ve been waiting for And it’s about time To leave it all behind And just you wait for what’s in store Behind you may be darkness So your future shines as bright as the stars The higher that she tried to climb, the further she would fall Until she wished she’d never climbed at all Tired and numb from all the pain, they told her time would heal But all her wounds they only turned to scars She always knew that something's missing Her heart screaming with no one listening Some things are just needed from the start And it’s about time For the best year of your life The one that you’ve been waiting for And it’s about time To leave it all behind And just you wait for what’s in store Behind you may be darkness So your future shines as bright as the stars When it hurts that you’re healing your heart Just know that I know the person you are And when things start to look dark, Please don’t stop sharing your heart It’s the light that is shinning from you And it’s about time For the best year of your life The one that you’ve been waiting for I won't be far behind Everything will be alright And just you wait for what's in store For the best year of your life The one that you’ve been waiting for The best year of your life The one that you’ve been waiting for Everything will be alright The one that you’ve been waiting for Behind you may be darkness So your future shines as bright as the stars (Your future shines as bright as the stars)
12.	Bleeding In The Snow 03:33	lyrics	buy track
I’ve tried and tried But I can’t find the comfort for the pain I’ve tried to use the chemicals to wash it all away Round and round when I come down, and everything’s the same I can’t defeat the cycle I can’t defeat the shame I’ve become the only one who tears apart my dreams Can’t control the fear, I'll have to flee the scene Imitate a damaged world Never feel the pain Throw myself away When will I let go? I’m bleeding in the snow Will I let go? It’s all I’ve ever known I’m terrified I’ll never be who I’m meant to be Who I’m meant to be Kill myself once again just cause I’m afraid Why am I living a lie, a charade? I cannot feel the grief inside, never ending suicide Why am I alive? When will I let go? I’m bleeding in the snow Will I let go? It’s all I’ve ever known I’m terrified I’ll never be who I’m meant to be Who I’m meant to be I convince myself I’m strong 'Til the feelings overwhelm I’m on my knees admitting I am weak Oh God, please set me free somehow When will I let go? I’m bleeding in the snow Will I let go? It’s all I’ve ever known I’m terrified I’ll never be who I’m meant to be Who I’m meant to be Who I’m meant to be To be Who I’m meant to be To be

Pain from long in the past Echoes from deep in the vast Stars expand and collapse Wounds that time won't heal Hurt could all be erased If you could just fix time and space Put planets back in their place So you push but you’re not God Not God Not God Not God Desperate for something to change But light is fading away Static drowning your face In celestial tears Crying out to be saved As gravity bends and it breaks You make a desperate escape So you run but you’re not God Not God Not God Not God Not God Not God Not God Not God Cause you are just fine to be who you are To feel how you feel To want what you want Cause its not your fault No, it’s not your fault Your fine to be who you are To feel how you feel To want something real To love and to heal Cause its not your fault No, it’s not your fault Starting to glow, you let go of shame Bravely testing your faith Boldly accepting your place It’s alright that you’re not God Not God Not God Not God, God, God Not God Not God Not God Not God
