Lyrics by Nicholas Wentworth

1. November

(Verse 1)

I see leaves of color

And trees of brown

As they all get scattered

Across the ground

Some have a purpose

While some get lost

Some feel the anguish

Of the oncoming frost

(Chorus)

I won’t change anymore

As the weather gets closer

To winter’s roar

I won’t change with the tides

I won’t forsake this

Novemberish life

(Verse 2)

The weather gets colder

Forever feels older

The worlds in a haze

Till the end of days

So put on your sweaters

Take off your scarfs

Fill the hot chocolate

That fill empty hearts

Let warm fires

Light the way

(Repeat chorus)

2. Escape

(Verse 1)

If there’s a way to forget

What it feels like

Waking up everyday

With a forsaken life

I can’t get by

I sense I died

I saw the look in your eyes

That said I wouldn’t make it

There was no chance to survive

And all my luck was taken

And now I’m stuck

Trying to lift myself awake

(Pre chorus)

And If I had wings I always knew I would

(Chorus)

Fly away

From this cold desolate place

I’m tired of enduring fear

Being forced to adhere

Broken rules devoid of all grace

I’ll find away

Out of this messed up end game

It’s time to make us free

And start to believe

That we can escape

(Verse 2)

The absence of a feeling

It’s like I’m alone

Looking for answers

I need another soul

If this road won’t lead me

When will the sky take me

Higher

Defy the laws of desire

Break from this world of liars

I will fly

(Pre chorus)

(Chorus)

3. Good to be alive

(Verse 1)

Standing tall

With the dirt below my feet

And the sand in my eyes

And the grit on my teeth

I got a cold sweat

Running down my white t

But none of this crap

Will ever get to me

I fight for life

Life and liberty

You can do as you please

But don’t you dare mess with me

Or you’ll find out

The business I mean

When none of this crap

Will ever get to me

(Pre chorus)

None of this crap will ever get to me

(Chorus)

So take another breath

Live in the moment

And feel alive again

So take another step

Closer to what feels good

And feel alive again

(Verse 2)

Iv’e walked the empty streets

I’ve seen some brutal sights

Unless you want to see

What the other side tastes like

Stay clear of my path

Beware of my wrath

Though my anger seethes

None of this crap

Will ever get to me

(Pre chorus)

(Repeat chorus)

4. Looking for a reason

(Verse 1)

Stuck in this place

Wasting my own life

Been trying to replace

My heart broke inside

Don’t have a direction

It’s been holding me back

I’d do anything

To know what I lack

(Chorus)

Don’t know what life is

Don’t know what you want from me

Don’t know what to do

Or what you expect from me (expect from me)

I can’t lie to you

Or make a decision

I’m lost and confused

Looking for a reason

(Verse 2)

Can’t lose this wind

Pushing me forward

To where I don’t know

I can’t even see

It feels like a curse

To know there’s an answer

But I’m locked from the outside

Without a key

(Repeat chorus)

5. Impatience

(Verse 1)

What goes inside your mind?

Beneath your skin, I’d like to climb

cuz when I”m with you

It feels like I’m not alone

You set this up for several weeks

I’m breaking down, I’m on my knees

And if you feel, how I feel

You just got to know

(Pre chorus)

Because I need to know

(Chorus)

And if you don’t care

Then don’t care

And if you don’t know

Don’t share

I’m calling for an answer

And I’m not scared

And it’s not fair

But I don’t care

(Verse 2)

With all this time wanting you

I think we should

see this through

I rather not give up I rather try and miss

We could’ve been the best of friends

But with all the signals that you send

Make me wonder

If you may want me more then this

(Pre chorus)

(Chorus)

6. Delusions of grandeur

(Verse 1)

Fighting dragons

Burning down Manhattan

Going to extremes

Do you really expect us?

To buy into these dreams?

Like the ten foot robot built in your back yard

That shoots laser beams

You need help my friend

This needs to end

It’s not what it seems

(Pre chorus)

It’s like you don’t listen

Or take time

Or realize your out of line

Im done giving

Into these lies

(Chorus)

Can’t you tell

It’s a waste of time

Trying to chase you down

And change your mind

I can’t seem to set you free

Or end this dream

Or bring you back to reality

(Verse 2)

Hiding behind fallacy

So removed from ordinary

It’s really aggravating

You’re generating circulating

Our insanity

Moving sporadically

Speaking in vanity

Your plans are always changing

Your complicating

Indicating your insecurities

(Pre chorus)

(Chorus)

7. Killing me

(Verse 1)

No matter where I go

I see you with me

Been missing you still

Yeah recently

I can’t see my life without you

Help me now I’ll change I swear

I do anything for you right now

For you to always be there

(Pre chorus)

The more I wait the more this kills me

The more I was the more this kills me

(Chorus)

Your memories can’t fade as time goes by

I’ve thrown away my heart so hard I’ve tried

The more I wait the more this kills me

Because I miss you, your smile

Your innocent face, your dark green eyes

The more I wait the more this kills me

(Verse 2)

Pick me up, I need you so bad

Can’t you tell I’m down

Feeling so sad

Please stop this for me, Please stop this pain

I feel like I'm going insane

All I have is love for you

I tried so hard to show this part of me

All I have is love for you

Why not any for me?

(Pre chorus)

(Chorus)

8. Elizabeth

(Chorus)

I can't sleep Feel like I'm dying now I can't see where your hiding now Elizabeth where you hiding now? I can't speak I feel like I need you now

(Verse 1)

I can't believe this is who you are I can't leave unless you take me Here I am changing on a dime my heart aches and this is all my time (repeat chorus)

(Repeat chorus)

(Verse 2)

Elizabeth, this is how I feel but you say That love isn't real I miss you and I want this to be found I love you and this is how it sounds

(repeat chorus)

9. Sweet little lies

(Verse 1)

This love is dying

No longer the same

And like everyone else

I wish you weren’t to blame

No one nobody

Is gonna wanna hold your hand

It’s like your never there

I’ve done all that I can

(Pre chorus)

You call this paradise?

Your cheap skate lies?

You call this paradise?

Your white collar lies

(Repeat once)

(Chorus)

Your white collar lies

I don’t sympathize

Your white collar lies

I don’t sympathize

(Repeat once)

(Verse 2)

Change my name

Control is lame

Why is it me you frame?

When there’s two to blame?

Take all your bribes

Giving all this time

All that you have is mine

Why don’t you quit your lying?

(Pre chorus repeat)

(Chorus repeat)

(Bridge)

Why don’t you change my name?

You know web both the same?

Why don’t you change my name?

You know we both the same?

(Pre chorus)

(Chorus)

10. A normal life

(Verse 1)

These days

keep on passing by

I feel like

Its a lie

Fighting to

Just survive

Is the story

Of all our lives

If only

it was fair

Love someone

if you dare

Distorted beliefs

judgmental stares

Fighting off

Persecutional glares

(Pre chorus)

Where can I stay?

(Chorus)

If only there

was a reason

For this

this messed up life

If only I could

take this back

If only I could

make this right

I would do

everything

And bring the

Pain to light

But I’m tired

And

All I want is

A normal life

(Verse 2)

Faking it to

just get by

I’ve tried so hard

I’ve tried

These feelings

won’t subside

My pain

is desperation

Is there a way

out of this?

This place

I will not miss

It’s like

I don’t exist

In this

perfect disarray

(Pre chorus)

(Chorus)

11. I’ll never give up

(Verse 1)

You can’t ever stop me

I’ll repeatedly stand in your way

I’ll do whatever I feel like

You won’t ever tell me what to do any day

I’ll stand there and express how I feel

And I don’t care if you like the sound of it

You may not agree with what I do

But you can’t ever bring me down

(Chorus)

I’ll never give up

I’ll always have my last word

I’ll never give up

No matter how much it hurts

No matter how long it takes

I’ll always make my point clear

With all my heart and all my faith

I’ll never give up

(Verse 2)

You can’t demoralize me

I’ll repeated get back up

So if you don’t like me, stay out my way

You can’t push me around

I’ll stand up. I’ll give you a shove

Your words are useless

They can’t hurt me no more

All has been played in the past before

(Pre chorus)

You can’t Bring me down

(Chorus)

12. Sun moon and stars

Covered by dark violet

Always full of wonder

Gleaming in the night

They answer as I wander

Lovers be dreaming

While planets are deceiving

Burning longer then seen

Without needing anything

Always shining bright

Never out my sight

The clouds might chase

But I’ll never leave

Bringing the colors to light

Sunsets before the night

The oceans waves

Meet me at the dawn

Where I belong

Grace is never gone

Made of white feldspar

May seem to far

Simple changes of phase

Never cease to amaze

Must’ve broke my heart

Right back to where I start

Simple changes of phase

Never cease to amaze

Always shining bright

Never out my sight

The clouds might chase

But I’ll never leave

Bringing the colors to light

Sunsets before the night

13. I'm an artist

(chorus)

I'm an artist

as lazy as I may seem

im an artist

so what the heck you gonna do?

I'm an artist

No one can say otherwise

I'm an artist

I bet you wish you were too

(Verse 1)

Cocky egotistical

Yet totally deserved

I'm going out pumped up

All to prove some disbelievers

What the heck I'm made of

all to show that I'm just me

Can say whatever I want

Whenever I damn well please

(Repeat chorus)

(Verse 2)

I may suck at life

Trip on myself sometimes

Don't always get the answer

That the teacher normally desires

I may not have every girl

That I want when I want

But I'm an artist

So therefore I'm to good for you

(Repeat chorus)

14. Project 47

(Verse 1)

Forget your plans

Uncle Sam

I can’t ever see

I don’t want anything

I can’ t Even believe

I can’t leave

Where is that thing

That you see?

(Chorus)

One man band

One with my machine

Unlike anything you ever seen

One man band

No need for another scheme

(Verse 2)

Told myself

It’s good

as long as I try

Went and bought

And then wasted more time

Thought a lot

But there is no line

Where is that thing

That you see

(Verse 3)

Don’t won’t sympathy

Don’t want your

Help anymore

Don’t want a boss

Or a change no more

Where is that thing

That you see?

Where that thing

That you see?

15. The Line

(Verse 1)

No need for invitation I got my inspiration No need for imitation Real is my concentration My life has been dignified Zero to the great divide No need to simplify That you can not hide No need for indication No need for indoctrination I laugh at my temptation With all determination I’m sick of getting by You know that this is mine You know that it’s a lie Try once being kind

(Chorus)

You know that there’s a line Take this as a sign You know that there’s a line Take this as a sign You know that there’s a line Take this as a sign You know that there’s a line Take this as a sign

(Verse 2)

Just want my validation Time shows my situation I feel such agitation From all these confrontations Been hiding it all inside I feel like I’m crucified All this has been denied And I don’t know why I lie

(repeat chorus)

16. I'll be there

(Verse 1)

I'm not the strongest one

I'm not the bravest one

I'm not the only one

I'm not without a gun

Just wanted you to see

how much you mean to me

you want me to leave

How about you set me free?

(Verse 2)

Just wanted you to care

Life is just not fair

Hate me if you please

I'm not make believe

I'm sorry is what I said

Can't get out my head

All I do is give

I just want to live

(Chorus)

I'll be there

don't you worry

I'll be there

I'll be waiting

I'll be there

don't you worry

I'll be there

I'll be waiting

I'll be there

(Verse 3)

I still feel the same

Not much has really changed

I'm the one to blame

Stuck with all this pain

Just wanted to confide

I'm not gonna hide

You think that I lied

That I never tried

(Verse 4)

The light is so far

You don't see the scar

Emptiness in my heart

Right back to where I start

This is where I belong

You'll miss me when I'm gone

Maybe I was wrong

But still hanging on

(Repeat chorus)

17. My Friend Katie

(Verse 1)

Hey Katie

What you doing now?

Are you watching over me?

Up in the clouds?

Hey Katie

Do you like how this sounds?

Now memories of you

Will forever be found

(Pre Chorus)

Nothings more beautiful

Then someone who understands

She hid her pain with a smile

Doing the best that she can

(Chorus)

And that's like me

Losing my mind

My innocence lost

And left behind

(Repeat)

(Verse 2)

Hey Katie

Can you read my mind?

Are you in a better place?

Please give me a sign

Hey Katie

I'll forever be your friend

Where ever you'd be

I'll see you in the end

(Repeat everything)

18. One One Zero One

(verse 1)

I'm sick of waiting

You're out of your mind

I'm not delusional

Your wasting your time

Prove this to me

I bet you can't

Third parties sending you

My time stamp

(Verse 2)

I'm the one

Be all you can be

summon your demons

Your demons at me

Go ahead and lie

about my theory

Give me your fine

As they talk to Siri

(Chorus)

Always was a lover

And that's what I choose

I'm sick of what they say

It's not what I do

Just want to feel

And not have to lose

Always been dying

Just to be with you

(Repeat)

(Verse 3)

Read it to me

What does it say?

Voices be trolling

Just another day

Energy is real

Infinitely recycled

Not saying anything

Is just not my style

(Repeat Chorus)

19. I Really Got This

(Chorus)

I really got this

There's not a problem

I'm used to beating myself up

All the time

I really got this

I have my reasons

I'm not going to give into

Into these lies

(Verse 1)

I need a real friend

And not a system

I'm sick of always needing

To try

Why are they jealous

No need for haters

There's always been a circle

And not a line

(Verse 2)

Why don't they pay me

No need for treason

Don't forget all this extortion

And all these fines

No need for college

I got your knowledge

So why even bother

Wasting my time

(Repeat chorus)

(Verse 3)

I'm a lover

And not a fighter

Zero means variable

A beautiful mind

I'm sick of hiding

All my feelings

Bottling them up

And still being kind

20. Love Heals Scars Love Left

(Chorus)

I wanna let you know

That your my only one

Your my everything

Your the air I breathe

And I'd never leave

And you know

That your always in my heart

Even when your gone

Your all I see

You are part of me

(Verse 1)

Stay with me

You know what I like

I want you here

right by my side

Take my hand

I steal you away

Lay with me

I swear it be fine

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 2)

Love me

I'm not playing games

I'll love you

As long as you do the same

Keep me

I really care

I'll keep you

Always near

(Repeat Chorus)

21. Unfazed Perspective

(Chorus)

You said that you loved me

You said that you missed me

You said that you hold me

You said that you kiss me

You said that you loved me

You said that you missed me

You said that you hold me

You said that you kiss me

(Verse 1)

Secret lives

waste my time

She is mine

Don’t cross my line

What is wrong

I try to belong

She’s my girl

My feelings strong

(Verse 2)

Why is she gone

Been waiting long

I wrote a song

Even broke my bong

Just want a friend

This will not end

Why defend

It’s love I send

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 3)

Why the break

Is this is our fate

Can’t let this go

Can’t concentrate

Screw the state

Why try to fake

Here’s all my effort

Why cooperate?

(Verse 4)

Losing myself

Trapt in lies

Can’t seem to find

Any compromise

I don’t want to leave you

It’s just not fair

People try to say

That I don’t care

(Repeat Chorus)

22. Love Save Me

(Verse 1)

If you were here

These storms wouldn't be rolling in

But now the rain is heree

And has been falling

Calling in

This flood I'm drowning in

Can't stand the pain

Of missing you being left behind

(Chorus)

Love save me

With your grace

Soak the pain I have

With mercy your embrace

Love save me

From this place

Save me from this hell

That I call home

Save me from being alone

(Verse 2)

Losing

All my faith

Having to much time

Having to much space

Sinking In

With my pride

Standing here alone

Fearless of what I decide

(Repeat Chorus)

23. Time Doesn’t Stop For Anything

(Verse 1)

Lots of Daws

Many styles

Dmg’s

So many files

Lots of games

No way to play

Still disappointing

Even till this day

(Verse 2)

Don’t want to change

Nothing the same

Just want to work

And not be blamed

Just want to say

Whats on my mind

With little words

That fit these lines

(Chorus)

Always been reaching for the stars

Never felt so close to where you are

Your always on my mind

And all I have is a short amount of time

Always been reaching for the stars

Never felt so close to where you are

Your always on my mind

And all I have is a short amount of time

(Verse 3)

Always making

Never faking

Or contemplating

What is on my mind

There’s no mistaking

That I’ll be taking

This past

And putting it all behind

(Repeat chorus)

24. I Don't Care

(Chorus)

I don't care

Cuz I don't care

I don't care

Cuz I don't care

I Don't care

Cuz I don't care

At all

(Repeat)

(Verse 1)

I don't care

what you got to say

It really doesn't matter

Anyways

I can't stand your mouth

Or stand your fucking face

So lets cut the corner

And get right to the chase

(Repeat chorus)

(Verse 2)

I don't care

If I got to change

I don't care

Even if I'm insane

I don't care

Even if you like me

Because I don't care

Even if you fucking leave

(repeat chorus)
