1.
City's on fire tonight, smoke is rising to the skies Blinded by your hate, trade pride for shame What have you become, hating what you love trapped in your cage, with all the rage Tainted your pretty name, destroyed what you create There's no turning back, from your own attack What have you become, hating what you love trapped in your cage, with all the rage
2.
Listen to the sounds they're all around There's nothing to fear, on what you hear Don't be afraid of your mistakes There's plenty of time to live your life Cause there's a silver lining that will keep on shining It's never too late to make a change Do what you want no matter the cost You're not alone, friends will console Through rough times they'll be by your side Cause there's a silver lining that will keep on shining Listen to the sounds they're all around

Heavy hung the canopy of blue Shade my eyes and I can see you White is the light that shines through the dress that you wore She lay in the shadow of a wave Hazy were the visions of her playing Sunshine in her eyes but moonshine made her cry every time Green is the colour of her kind Quickness of the eye deceives the mind Envy is the bond between the hopeful and the damned
4.
Have you seen my heart I lost it in the dark Don't know where it's gone, it's gone far too long Traveled from place to place just to see her face That made me invincible but now so miserable I think she misplaced it, possibly replaced it Either way I'll get it back someday Have you seen my heart it's at the park To my surprise, a girl with pretty eyes She has fixed my heart and I knew from the start I would lose it again to my new friend Doesn't matter if she does, All I want is love Either way I'll get it back someday Have you seen my heart it fell apart Searching the pieces but it's pointless I gave it easily when she came to me Now I'm not myself since I had fell I think she misplaced it, possibly replaced it Either way I'll get it back someday

Slow Down 03:50
Slow Down, there's no rush In burning out, you only live once Slow Down Don't worry about the future, break away from the past Today is a present, enjoy it while it last Slow Down Life is but a dream, you wake up feeling older Suddenly you're 63, finally the end comes closer Slow Down
6.
There was a time, when we were close We lost touch, we when got old We're living different lives, you got yours and I got mine We're drifting away, without knowing it came The last time I saw you that day, we're drifting away What has changed in your life, will you say hi or just past by Not knowing who I am, just another, another man We're drifting away, without knowing it came The last time I saw you that day, we're drifting away Hanging out with different people Made our choices faced our regrets Who knew it'll end up like this Fate knows if we'll meet again We're drifting away, without knowing it came The last time I saw you that day, we're drifting away
7.
It's dark again, time to go to bed Another year of growing old, same thing as before Come Rain Come Shine, Either one I don't mind It doesn't matter if you leave, I'll be fine Now there's a life ahead of me, Covered in mystery The choice we make is here to stay, but what about today Come Rain Come Shine, Either one I don't mind It doesn't matter if you leave, I'll be fine Come Rain Come Shine, Either one I don't mind It doesn't matter if you leave, It doesn't matter if you stay Nothing matters to me, All I care is if you're safe

River's Edge 03:31
I've been flowing on this river for quite sometime Floating on the surface looking at the sky Fill my head with emptiness and my ears with silence Not knowing when it ends And I know someday I will fall Through the great rapids feeling so small Every inch of me shakes as I stay awake Falling like a snowflake As I hit the bottom I meet my end Instead I float along again But not on winter water but on the clouds of summer The wind taking me higher

Brings a tear to my eye that a man can take Everything away, just in one day Nothing feels right, I had enough Of being lost, always in disgust I'm tired of all this pain, evil men can make To the innocent, doesn't make sense He deceived the young ones, stealing their trust Without a thought, He pulled out a gun He pulled the trigger, they could not run Just like that they're gone, daughters and sons I'm tired of all this pain, evil men can make To the innocent, doesn't make sense At the same time, a building explodes Survivors rose, then laid on the road Fire was put out, but the hurt remains On that tragic day, when the attack came I'm tired of all this pain, evil men can make To the innocent, doesn't make sense
