- Ambitions
They say that patience is the key
But waiting was never for me
So I'll break away the anchors that you've chained to my feet
I know that you only did this for yourself
Your feet resting on the heads of those who tried to help
So don't waste your time with sympathy
And it's all the same
- Among Lions
Don't fall asleep, just stay awake for me
(Screaming)
Won't you stay awake
Won't you stay awake for me
Wake me up, get me out of here
To a higher place, a higher way
Won't you stay awake for me?
Wake me up, won't you wake me up
- C'est La Vie
If we could turn back the clocks
And just do this right
Instead of building foundation on a lie
That kept us hidden, that kept us safe
Brought down the walls and took you away
I would have given everything to watch you grow
Into the person that you never thought you could be
- Catalyst
Close your eyes, get a grip You feel yourself start to slip Losing ground before you even found your feet The chance is knocking at your door But you’re still lying on the floor It’s time to stand up and fight for something more You’ve set yourself up for failure So don’t be surprised when you fall down If you don’t have something to reach for Then tell me, tell me what’s the point of it all Burning through time wasting your life Falling short of the things that you admire With all your hopes just out of touch But the cost of those thoughts just seems too much It’s all in your hands you just have to pull yourself up Past the doubt that holds you down You’re struggling to make a sound Keeping your time bottled As if you have some control With your life mapped out afraid of the unknown You’ve set yourself up for failure So don’t be surprised when you fall down If you don’t have something to reach for Then tell me, tell me what’s the point of it all They say for each step forward You take three steps back What’s the point of progress with two feet in the past With yourself this deep There’s only four left to go To find your future still buried below You’ve set yourself up for failure So don’t be surprised when you fall down If you don’t have something to reach for Then tell me, tell me what’s the point of it all
- Don't Fall Asleep
My faults were always in the light as long as I lived in your shadow
Pushed out leaving all my hopes behind just for a glimpse of attention
But as I turned away and searched for something of my own
Suddenly you noticed me you never wanted this
So now I’m torn between the things I want and the life that never stood a chance
Your tasted they’ve never changed
I simply became the poison that you crave
- Dreamcatcher
These shallow thoughts are flowing quickly to an end from your mouth
But did you know that you’re drowning my dreams in your doubt
Take time to see what you are and what you’re doing to me
Does shutting me down pushing me out make you feel free
You’re just another stone in my way
But you won’t become a brick that I lay
Placing the path in front of me to reach the goals that I seek
Trace back the lines we’ve drawn and picture what this life could be
- Fox Tale
looking for ways to keep myself focused
on the way that I want to exist
but it's a sad state of life to find
hiding from the shadows in your mind
- Is It Too Late
(Chorus)
Is it too late to take back what we say?
You tell me don’t tell me that we’re all the same
How can you say that you don’t believe in anything?
When all the signs are sitting right in your face
How can I give you my trust when you’re just stuck in the past?
Building up walls place hope in a stronghold that will never last
- Mistweaver
I never thought that things could turn around so quickly
And never leave a trace of where we've been or where we're going
I think I've crossed the line this time,
A fantastic mistake to make us wonder why
We ever followed what they said
We should have chased our hearts instead
- Novelist
I won't let this happen
I won't let you take that, take that away from me
You have a habit of holding me down
So I'm fighting, fighting to break free from your story
So many times I have held back to hear you turn and say
Put down those dreams and just stick with what's safe
So many times I let you choke this flame inside of me
- Temptation
I know I've seen where this path leads too many times before
You've caught my gaze, but my eyes drift back for more
I'm stuck still stumbling back and forth
But I find myself still searching with one foot out the door
My mind betrays what I'm looking for
I've stretched the lines and pushed the marks
When did boundaries become a start
