All Lyrics Written by Travis DeBlois

01. Life is Really Something

Intro:

So… 

What if things were different? Hmm. 

Things could have easily gone differently, in so many ways. 

And I can't help but think…

Announcement:

Attention, Attention

Dangerous tidal and current conditions are approaching.

You are advised to leave the sandbar immediately.

Verse 1:

Well after I woke in fear, could've sworn I saw her there,

blinked twice and then opened my eyes, this feeling it just won't subside,

and even until this day, I think of what I could've changed,

decisions I should have made, what would have kept you close and safe,

and sometimes I still get, these flashes in my head,

you leaving me of my grasp, this last moment we had left

Chorus:

It's a winding road from here, walk until I disappear,

shadows lurk and fuel the fear, ignore their tricks ahead I stare

Verse 2:

Well after that dreadful day, my time was entangled in shame,

I'm sorry I caused you this pain, I'm sorry it all slipped away,

On good days I can look back, at photos and thoughts of the past,

appreciate this fleeting life, and smile at what we had

(Chorus)

02. Rundown

Verse 1:

Chasing what can't be caught, battles that can't be fought,

lately these darker nights, have blinded me in my fight,

nightmares and visions of what it all could be,

without these mountains staring down at me,

because I can't climb my way over with ease,

when its arms are wrapping itself around me

Chorus:

I feel it seeking me, it wants to speak to me,

but I don't wanna hear the rundown, no,

It grabs a hold of me, and starts controlling me,

and that's why I've been feeling rundown

Post-Chorus:

And every single day it just keeps adding up,

but I don't wanna face it right now,

In every single way it just keeps adding up,

but I don't wanna face it right now

Verse 2:

Will these visions stay for long? Can I defeat it alone?

I thought it would be over by now, guess I was reading it wrong

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Rundown…oh, oh, oh, Rundown… down…Rundown…oh, oh, oh

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus)

(Post-Chorus)

03. Set in My Ways

Verse 1:

The knight that saved me won't always come,

if I can't adjust well then I might succumb,

to a life of constant lacerations, 

and I have no one left I can blame,

this enemy is he who shares my name

Chorus:

Set in my ways, set in my ways, 

stubborn, constrained, starting to show,

want me to change, do things your way,

when what you want is against the code,

set in my ways, the morning wakes,

can only change what I can control,

set in my ways, set in my ways

Verse 2:

Well it pains me knowing I've become,

old and bitter hoping rain will come,

and I made you stare into my eyes and promise,

that you'd try not to take on the world,

but you need help and I'm stuck on my word

(Chorus)

04. Don't Look

Verse 1:

Bright lights I turn 'em down, then try to see what I found,

glass walls I break 'em down, then try to walk on the ground,

I don't want you to take the heat, I'll burn this down needlessly

Chorus:

Don't look inside my soul tonight, I'm feeling empty,

Don't look inside my soul tonight, I'm feeling empty,

don't act surprised you knew this might, bring this ending,

don't look inside my soul tonight, I'm feeling empty

Verse 2:

Toss rocks yet wear the crown, how can I stare myself down?

You're locked out behind the vow, one box you've not found,

wading through the mud I rot, this could have been a river,

I brought the dirt, allowed decay, these are our lives now,

I don't want you, to feel defeat,

I'll burn this down, needlessly

(Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus)

05. Waiting Games

Verse 1:

Wash those bloody streets, before we get a chance to see,

what it is they've brought upon the peace,

divided into separate teams, now everyone is in too deep,

can't put back this monster they've unleashed

Pre-Chorus:

Different endings look the same,

every word part of the game,

Chorus:

Waiting for a miracle, waiting for a miracle,

waiting for a miracle, how does the static change?

Waiting for a miracle, (and I wait)

Waiting for a miracle, (and I wait)

but there's no oracle, no one to lead the way

(and I wait)

Verse 2:

Cheer those ribbon cuts, diagonal lines on some charts,

stare at all those numbers rising up,

be born with the right amount of luck,

skip past everyone stuck in the mud,

you can't make out their faces from the top

(Pre-Chorus)

Bridge:

You wanna cover it up, you wanna cover it up,

you try to cover it up, we see through all of it

(Chorus)

06. Take Your Word

Verse 1:

You'd rather take from me, all I've ever dreamed,

to sit next to the stars, and never look beneath,

and if no one follows you, don't act so surprised,

how could they acknowledge you, when you won't look in their eyes?

Chorus:

I'll take your word as true, go on and say your goodbyes,

take your word as true, go on and live with your lies,

take your word as true, go on and say your goodbyes,

take your word as true, go on and live a good life

Verse 2:

And still I'm wondering, what is it you see,

all the way up there, that makes you feel complete?

(Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

Outro:

Take your word as true

Take your word as true

07. Glide

Verse 1:

And even though I tried, I never got it right,

'cause all I did was glide, glide, glide, glide,

I say what I don't mean to say, I - 

meant to say that I never know why,

instead of doing what I should I

glide, glide, glide, glide

Chorus:

As I'm holding onto you, you're slipping from my hands,

I let too many things fall through the cracks and here we stand,

As I'm holding onto you, you look me in the eyes,

the world crumbling around us while you tell me that it's time

Verse 2:

I know I can't deny, I'm even on your side,

still, all I could do was glide, glide, glide, glide

(Chorus)

08. Strange Voodoo

Verse 1:

A certain glint in your eye, peculiar laugh, distinctive sigh,

you think you're smart, you think you're sly,

there's many signs that you fly high,

you raise your pitch, a subtle twitch,

you leave these hints like fingerprints,

it may have worked in the past,

but what you think is steel is glass

Chorus:

Now how should I tell you, I'm not gonna fall for your strange voodoo,

you may think you've finally broken through, but I'm always two steps ahead of you,

Waiting 'til the time is right to tell you, I know how to see through your strange voodoo,

I know you've been trying to, break on through,

don't you know I've been two rungs above you? Oh-oh-oh-oh

Bridge:

You don't have to say, you don't have to say,

you don't have to say, a thing - a thing

Verse 2:

Are you done with your tricks? Your sorcery has no effect,

How much more is in that chest? I wouldn't guess there's much more left,

maybe I'll play into your  hand, and let you think you're in command,

all the while staying prepared, to pull the rug out on your plan

(Chorus)

09. Glowing Fires

Verse 1:

Did you see the light, before you phased into darkness?

And did it fill your sight? Illuminating blindness,

I wonder where you are, trapped inside of a box? or far beyond the stars?

A cycle that restarts, another life will find us,

or is that just part, of a story meant to guide us?

A chance to re-embark, gives us all some hope and,

keeps our eyes off the clock

Chorus:

I see the glowing fire starting to grow,

well the days keep coming, and I keep running,

but I don't know where to go (x2)

Verse 2:

Well years ago it started,

a canvas blank and dark, and then a single spark,

and we've been on the run, since we learned the outcome,

it's silently acknowledged, this race that can't be won,

the more we age and learn, the closer it gets to us,

our impending turn

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Staring off into the night, fending off tomorrow,

don't let past feelings entice, move on from old sorrow (x2)

10. Goodnight Luna

Verse:

Every moment that must happen, will come to pass,

but more than often there are moments, that come too fast,

I tried to grab all of these moments, and stuff them in a bag,

but I stopped, I took a breath and focused, then gave them back

Pre-Chorus:

Luna, Luna, Luna, Luna, Luna, Luna, Goodnight Luna (x2)

Chorus:

Goodnight precious Luna,

the tides changed when you slipped from my view,

I know you're there even though you're sleeping,

watching us and helping us through,

goodnight dearest Luna,

every day I'm reminded of you,

a light shining through the darkness,

guiding me and keeping me true

(Pre Chorus x1)

(Chorus)
