The Floor Is Yours

Let’s go, get rollin, this is the day
I'd walk a thousand miles, I'm there you best believe
No destination is ever too far
Oh we can handle more, the synergy’s forming
Drop of a hat, we’re heading your way
Emotions are ablaze with tons to spare
Now we’ve arrived, it’s ok, best ride guaranteed
We’re here to represent, just watch it all unveil
The floor is yours
Sound waves exploding
New altitudes
No stopping what’s started
And it just gets better
The curtains drop, it’s underway
Loud bang, the shine that blinds you
It feels unbelievable, where would you rather be?
And we shove, get to the frontline
We’ve known it all along, so incredible
Yeah it’s what we wanted, Yeah well now we got it
Can we relive today?
The pot of gold
The end, wish I could stay
Can't even think about it
So sad to walk away
In such a daze without it

One More Excuse
03:34
|

On the floor in my room
Surrounded by the ashes of memories
Dear life, I would love to meet you to hint out I'm alive
Feeling so overpowered
All that aside, such sights to see
Just get me through the night
One more excuse
Well I could just throw it all away
But I'm so farsighted
Is this the life for me?
Yeah it's the same ol thing and overplayed
Sometimes it gets to me
Give me a sign that it's heading somewhere
Come on let’s get this straight
List of all things to do
I'm here to make my debut
The moment is ours
A road without an end, never simple
Reliving part of my youth
Just slightly modified
The hours pass, stuck here as I muse
One look at this place and I'm still left wondering
Can’t stand here, pass the time
Won’t be the face of gloom, the runaway
I'm making my own rules
I'm gonna make it through, the final say

Last Call
03:55
|

Take it a bit too far, best when you're not around
You'll fight it just the same, it's how you set it up
Clear sign for me to look the other way
Have you not figured it out yet?
Can't walk the walk, you'll never have what it takes
And you're just such a joy
The look in your eyes won't bribe me
Make a deal you can't refuse
You've got a lot to say
Run your mouth for nothing, you're impossible
You've got a lot to say
What goes up must come down
Last call
Find that place where your heart belongs
Take on a different shape
It's time to find your way back home
Do whatcha gotta do, you're out there for the hunt
Somebody has to pay but it won't matter much
Who's next to top your list of easy preys?
Never ending search for a new pet
Can't talk the talk, your reputation's at stake
Well now the game is on
Can’t hypnotize or haunt me
Fading fast, you’re out of moves

Smile

So tell me what you want and tell me what you need
My views are clouded, everyway filled with doubt
Not as intended
Turn it up a notch now without delay
Selling our mind on where it just might go
So many years of regret
Got to get in the groove
Maybe destiny will greet you
Make no mistake, overcome the phases
I was meant for so much more
Always on the edge like I’m standing on a ledge
Seems there’s no way out
Luck is a stranger
I’ll turn it all around someway and make it through
What courage we wear each day
Come on, smile now
Few pleasant thoughts ran through my head
But bitterness had come instead
Can’t be calculated
The whole thing’s fabricated
The relevance of what’s in store
I’ve been through it all before
Well, I’ve done my share of waiting
Each time I try to speak, the words just disappear
Like I’ve lost the knack
Stuck in a familiar place

Lonely Avenue
03:11
|
|||
Feel the walls close in on me
Seems like time is standing still when you’re pacing so much
New beginning will rise but somehow I’ll never know
Why all this was written in stone
I take it back
Gotta get away, let it go
It happened all so soon
I still cannot believe
I’ve been a mess without you
Hope to see you around
I’ll see you sometime
Walk a lonely avenue
Can’t erase you
Everything that I see reminds me of you
You’re everywhere
Well I guess it was meant to be
Yeah we let it slip away, watched it turn to dust
Were we living a lie or just not reciprocal?
We were so good at setting the tone
It went off track

Hello/So Long
03:05
|

Setting it up with always such confusion
Always time for games
It has to be now, it's nothing new
Makes you feel so alive, all senses aware
Took it this far, someone will pay
You're just unreal
No damage for now
I can't believe a single word that you say
Your cover has been blown
I see right through you
I swear you're making it up
Ya I've heard it all, sure gets around
I swear you're making it up
Well truthfully, it's what you do
Hello, so long
In the end you just don't have a clue
Won't play along
Never wanted anything from you
Can't stand it another day
You’ll find something to cry about
A grown-up going on twelve years old
Your own set of rules
I can't solve the riddle, it's half-time for you
Need repair
The creature you are, target your prey
What big ordeal

Glitch
03:36
|

You’re the chill in my bones
With a handful of despair, pretender
Caught between swerving doors that don’t lead to a single trace
Your play on words is getting old
There’s no flow, on a roll
Never hurt quite this bad
Core of which we’re founded on
Why commit to more?
Quickly grasp the concept, leave it at that
I hope I’m not boring you
My life is just passing through
Eager to build any which way
Can’t read your mind for clues
Won’t long to learn from the price we paid
Wasting time, we’re just going under
It means so little, could we rekindle?
A glitch that made us vulnerable
But this chance sees us fold
A way out
Let’s have a sit down
We forgot, we’re fed up, the shared common grounds
So soon, but it’s this and that, there’s always something
Engulfed by your needs that are worshiped so
It needs to be told

It's Going Nowhere
03:48
|

Time again, you will walk through that door
Make your point then you take it out on me
Now as you were
Yet another way to make me hold it against you
Now our admissions collide
Quit playing me, you’re like a vulture
You want some more?
Isn’t this what you wanted?
It’s going nowhere
It’s all falling apart
But I’ll be fine, the answer lies somewhere
Yeah, I’ll get it
No rest till I’ve made my move
There’s no other way
Feels like me vs. the world
Checkin out, I’ll do this alone
Gotta find it, see it through
Same ol game but what have I got to lose?
Do no wrong, only strong, lift the ground
Soon we might go right back to zero
So take the ride, learn to cope and diffuse
Settle for now
Here, intentions unify
Much to convey with less to assume
Watch your back, the need to counteract
Just understand what you must do
Hold the key to your only showdown
You want it done so to start anew
Yeah I’m gonna break out

The Riddle
03:36
|
|||
I'll never stand in the middle
Dragged along to pave the way
I don't think I'm getting through to you
Stitched up the wreckage and it's been a bore
So take the deal without excuse and go
Then again, what does it matter?
I'm not here to be reviewed
Get out of my way
Gotta move on, not holding on
Yeah I just want to make this right
There's no other way out
You just need to realize I've been there before
You're not part of the picture
It's over
Got sick of solving the riddles
Instilled by your old charades
I don't think my thoughts are yours to choose
Moment is threatened, time to close the door
Now I have everything to lose, let go
Then again it doesn't matter
Reserved a better view
