Grey 03:58
You got the life you wanted, I got the life soaked in grey You got the girl you wanted, I watched you slowly walk away I see faces, faces, everywhere But not a drop, not a drop, not a drop Already five in the morning, and this city’s up to no good Don’t want to see you, but everything in me says I should I’m tired of playing a cameo in my own life These uncertainties are eating me alive I see faces, faces, everywhere But not a drop, not a drop, not a drop I see faces, faces, everywhere But not a drop, not a drop, not a drop Who was I to think we were strong enough to make a stand We’ve nothing to show for the night but stamp-covered hands Who was I to think you were strong enough to make a stand You’ve nothing to show for the night but stamp-covered hands You got the life you wanted, I got the life soaked in grey You got the girl you wanted, I watched you slowly walk away I see faces, faces, everywhere But not a drop, not a drop, not a drop I see faces, faces, everywhere But not a drop, not a drop, not a drop

Neon parking sign, blinking on an autumn night Above a man in the fight of his life Boxing her ghosts on an abandoned city street Fighting my heart, the heart that beats You want me to, you need me to Imitate her love No I can’t imitate her love I can feel you sculpting me to be somebody else But I can’t imitate her love I’m his mockingbird, tracing this love with words Going through her motions, through her lines Grasping onto memories, molding them into new dreams Nostalgic for a life he’ll never lead He wants me to, he needs me to Imitate her love No I can’t imitate her love I can feel him sculpting me to be somebody else But I can’t imitate her love No I won’t imitate her love No I won’t imitate her love I can feel him sculpting me to be somebody else But I won’t imitate her love

Love Lost 04:13
Say no more, say no less Your eyes have already confessed This love is gone Speak your heart, speak your peace We both need this release To pack up and move on The windows are open wide, our fates foretold Cast these demons out before they take hold This love that once burned hot has withered cold Cast these demons out before they take hold Say no more, say no less Your eyes have already confessed This love is gone Speak your heart, speak your peace We both need this release To pack up and move on The windows are open wide, our foretold Cast these demons out before they take hold Say no more, say no less Your eyes have already confessed This love is gone Speak your heart, speak your peace We both need this release To pack up and move on

Primacy 03:49
Driving into the fog, in search of something to call our own Away from the constant feeling of being alone To build a legacy with our bare hands To forge a connection with this downtrodden land So that someday we can tell them Brick by brick we built this empire Brick by brick we’re taking it down Brick by brick we built this empire Brick by brick we’re taking it down Arms stretched out over the water We’ve become the rebel sons and daughters Moving with no end in sight Ready to put up a fight So that someday we can tell them Brick by brick we built this empire Brick by brick we’re taking it down Brick by brick we built this empire Brick by brick we’re taking it down We were the first to love We were the first to break We were the first to shed these tears And to live these myths we made Brick by brick by brick... Brick by brick we built this empire Brick by brick we’re taking it down Brick by brick we built this empire Brick by brick we’re taking it down

Pursuit Of 04:59
Take me to the place where mountains meet They say the stories buried there run deep Past the canyon gorge and frozen river We’ll wake the sacred answers from their sleep They’ll say ‘Oh, life is short, but life is sweet’ So while we’re here, let’s feel its heat With the wind in your eyes you carry on Seeking shelter from the storm you wait for dawn A notch for every kiss, for every lie Your heart is full of notches, but what kind? Life is short, but life is sweet So while we’re here, let’s feel its heat Life is short, but life is sweet So while we’re here, let’s feel its heat Ohhhhhhhhh You break up my sleepless nights A flash so blinding white You break up my sleepless nights A flash so blinding white Life is short, but life is sweet So while we’re here, let’s feel its heat Life is short, but life is sweet So while we’re here, let’s feel its heat
