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

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

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

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

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

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
