Good Again
03:05
|
|||
I'll walk a mile in your shoes
To figure out what's left to lose
I'll drain the blood from my own hand
To make sure your cup is full again
So raise it up let's have a toast
To our friends and all our foes
We're stronger now, we'll live again
The days of death have come to end
I'm so close to being good again
So far from what I used to be
I'm paying recompense
Life's starting to make sense
And I'm so close to being good again
I'll lay myself on the line
I'm sober now and feeling fine
I'll storm the gates, become the King
Reclaiming life means everything
So raise it up let's have a toast
To our friends and all our foes
We're stronger now, we'll live again
The days of death have come to end
I'm so close to being good again
So far from what I used to be
I'm paying recompense
Life's starting to make sense
And I'm so close to being good again
I'm so close to being good again
So far from what I used to be
I'm paying recompense
Life's starting to make sense
And I'm so close to being good again

I Ain't Leavin'
03:27
|
|||
Block out the sun and you'll never chase the rain away
Weather the storm and you'll live to see another day
Full of goodness
You can set the stars on fire
You know that hope is
All that we truly require
Hey now, bring it in
I know we will survive
Follow the fire that's alive inside
You need healin'
To bring your blackened heart alive
And I ain't leavin'
Till I see you shining bright
I ain't leavin'
Till the sun comes up
All I'm really saying is that
We ain't even
Till I've done more than enough
Shine your light on down
I know we will survive
Follow the fire that's alive inside
Come hold me tight and don't let go
Let's step outside our own shadows
Come hold me tight and don't let go
Let's step outside our own shadows

What Comes Next
02:53
|
|||
See it, I could touch it, I could taste it on my tongue again
But I'm never gonna feel like it was my friend
Every time it comes around I waste my life away
But I'm never gonna let it get the best of me
I win, you lose
This time I have to choose
This life, or death
I know what happens next
I kill the flaw
I think enough's been lost
It's life or death
So tell me what comes next
So do you believe it when I'm sayin' that I'm stayin' clean
And I'm feelin' all the power it devoured coming back to me
All I really wanted was to feel something
But it wasn't even real and it stole my dream
I win, you lose
This time I have to choose
This life, or death
I know what happens next
I kill the flaw
I think enough's been lost
It's life or death
So tell me what comes next
Don't let your life pass by you
Don't let it fade
Don't let your life pass by you
Don't let it fade

River of Souls
03:24
|
|||
I been down a road filled with regret and sorrow
I'd be lying if I said I ain't ashamed
But I'm putting all my hope into tomorrow
And I've never been more ready for a change
I will wait for you
Till grey skies turn blue
Till the river flows again
I will fight for you
Till this dream comes true
Till your heart is on the mend
Ain't no way I'm going back, I'll never falter
I'll leave the broken man I was so far behind
I'll prove to you that I can be a better partner
And there ain't a damn thing that I'd trade for you and I
I will wait for you
Till grey skies turn blue
Till the river flows again
I will fight for you
Till this dream comes true
Till your heart is on the mend
I will wait for you
Till grey skies turn blue
Till the river flows again
I will fight for you
Till this dream comes true
Till your heart is on the mend

Better Than I Used To Be
02:50
|
|||
This time I'll show the world
This time I'll be a man
Root out all of this darkness
Cut off the devil's hand
Give more than I take
Be good for goodness sake
Rebuild the bridges burned
This time it's my turn
I threw it all away
Lost myself along the way
But I've learned from my mistakes
And I'm better than I used to be
I prayed for sunny days
I had to find my faith
I'm sorry for the pain
But I'm better than I used to be, yeah
This time I'll get the girl
Love her with all I have
I'll make my mama proud
I'll float above the clouds
Work harder than I play
Do the things that I say
Oh God I hope and pray
Shine light inside of me
I threw it all away
Lost myself along the way
But I've learned from my mistakes
And I'm better than I used to be
I prayed for sunny days
I had to find my faith
I'm sorry for the pain
But I'm better than I used to be, yeah
I threw it all away
Lost myself along the way
But I've learned from my mistakes
And I'm better than I used to be
I prayed for sunny days
I had to find my faith
I'm sorry for the pain
But I'm better than I used to be, yeah

Skin O' My Teeth
04:17
|
|||
Got away by the skin of my teeth
From the hair of the dog I am released
I prayed that I could be free
From the demon that was living inside of me
It's said and done
I will recover my good name
And it's come to be
I will restore my legacy
I am fighting every day now
I am trying just to feel alive again
And I wonder what it would be like
If I tried this hard my whole life
Got away by the skin of my teeth
From the hair of the dog I am released
I prayed that I could be free
From the demon that was living inside of me
It's said and done
I will recover my good name
And it's come to be
I will restore my legacy
Fragile are the broken
Too weak to repair
Prepare for the reckoning
All will be made whole again
I am fighting every day now
I am trying just to feel alive again
And I wonder what it would be like
If I tried this hard my whole life
Got away by the skin of my teeth
From the hair of the dog I am released
I prayed that I could be free
From the demon that was living inside of me
It's said and done
I will recover my good name
And it's come to be
I will restore my legacy

This Old Man
03:21
|
|||
This old man
Saved, repent
Born again
Requiem
I won't lie
I died inside
And I cried
Towards the light I fly
This old man
Saw his end
Won't give in
Best for last
I won't lie
I died inside
And I cried
Towards the light I fly
This old man
This old man
I won't lie
I died inside
And I cried
Towards the light I fly

Regenerate
04:04
|
|||
Broke down to nothing
Only one path that I see
Pull myself up again
So much in front of me
Gaining independence
Confidence with every step
Those who dream of greatness
Never took the trip
We roll the dice and bet on black
We hope the boomerang comes back
Regenerating
All of my strength inside
I seek eternal life
Regenerating
Master of all I know
This is the way I grow
Choked on the poison
It took everything from me
Hoped that I'd listen
To the voice of reasoning
Learning how to walk again
Back on my own two feet
Trampling on the pain
As I grit my teeth
We roll the dice and bet on black
We hope the boomerang comes back
Regenerating
All of my strength inside
I seek eternal life
Regenerating
Master of all I know
This is the way I grow
Regenerating
All of my strength inside
I seek eternal life
Regenerating
Master of all I know
This is the way I grow

Eye Am Eye
04:29
|
|||
Show me how to walk
I've had chains around my ankles
Please show me the way
I've been buried in the darkness for too long
Calcified and made bitter
Eye am eye
Eye am eye
Retrace the steps and find what you are looking for
Eye am eye
Eye am eye
This place just doesn't look the same anymore
Eye am eye
Throw me to the wolves
I'm eager to be testing my resilience
Aim and fire away
I'm here to test my armor for the fight
Crucified and made martyr
Eye am eye
Eye am eye
Retrace the steps and find what you are looking for
Eye am eye
Eye am eye
This place just doesn't look the same anymore
Eye am eye
Eye am eye
Eye am eye
Retrace the steps and find what you are looking for
Eye am eye
Eye am eye
This place just doesn't look the same anymore
Eye am eye
Retrace the steps and find what you are looking for

The Crown
03:29
|
|||
I stop to think what might have been
I heard you still have my old things
I cursed you and you've been broken
By every lie I've spoken
I'm done breaking myself down
I'm done making excuses
It's time to follow through on all the promises I've made
I'm done breaking myself down
I'm done living this way
It's time to show the world that I deserve to wear the crown
I'm done breaking myself down
I wonder what you've been up to
You're someone that I thought I knew
But I hurt you and I ran away
In your eyes I am no one
I'm done breaking myself down
I'm done making excuses
It's time to follow through on all the promises I've made
I'm done breaking myself down
I'm done living this way
It's time to show the world that I deserve to wear the crown
I'm done breaking myself down
I'm done breaking myself down
I'm done making excuses
It's time to follow through on all the promises I've made
I'm done breaking myself down
I'm done living this way
It's time to show the world that I deserve to wear the crown
I'm done breaking myself down
