Sometimes love can be so difficult And the end result hard to understand But I know inside you're just like papier-mâché That I can manipulate when you're in my hands Oh I can't escape The joy of being close to your nape Feeling the softness of your skin As I'd catch your scent as I'd breathe in As I'd fold you in my arms like an origami heart I still get chills when I reminisce At having your lips close to mine And you'd open up as your mood would start to change Showing things have different shapes at different times Still I can't escape The joy of being close to your nape Feeling the softness of your skin Catching your scent as I'd breathe in As I'd fold you in my arms like an origami heart Like an origami heart

Sabotage 03:45
I don’t deserve second chances I’ve got what’s coming to me In a rare moment of self reflection It’s clear that I’m my own worst enemy I still remember the last time The last time I heard your voice Forever haunted by my lies and deception In knowing truth can’t be destroyed It didn’t happen by accident It didn’t come without cause But I’ll never hold you again As our love’s come to end Yes I’m a master of sabotage I can’t get these memories to fade I live in terror of spending my days Living my life full of regret And all these moments I can’t forget It didn’t happen by accident It didn’t come without cause But I’ll never hold you again As our love’s come to end Yes I’m a master of sabotage Sabotage! Sabotage! Sabotage!

Wake me I must be in some kind of dream Cuz lately I can't make sense of anything Everything feels wrong It's like I don't belong I'm trapped in some kind of hell But to my horror and surprise It's right before my eyes To see that I've done it to myself This feeling of terror is tearing at me And what can I do? Somehow it seems that by chasing my dreams I made my every nightmare come true Save me Show me that there's a way out And maybe Redemption is somewhere to be found How do I rebuild Get rid of the guilt Make it stop at any cost? How do I tame the beast Now that it's been released Without sensing that all hope is lost? This feeling of terror is tearing at me And what can I do? Somehow it seems that by chasing my dreams I made my every nightmare come true Come true...

Useless 03:24
Tell me it's not the end That you're coming back again Tell me it'll all be fine Or tell me to my face That your love vanished without a trace Just tell me it wasn't all wasted time You want me to crash and burn Thinking I'd never learn From all of the mistakes that I've made But take a look and you will see I'm more than you thought I could ever be But it's not like it matters now anyway Cuz it tears at me from the inside out Knowing I was so naïve and clueless somehow And I know beyond a shadow of a doubt That any love I have for you is useless now Tell me it's not severe That our love can persevere As delusional as it might be Tell me you cry my name When you're in his arms and he's between your legs And tell me that still I'm in your dreams Cuz it tears at me from the inside out Knowing I was so naïve and clueless somehow And I know beyond a shadow of a doubt That any love I have for you is useless now I try to communicate what's on my mind But you refuse to hear anything I've said It's clear you've left our love far behind So I self medicate instead Still it tears at me from the inside out Knowing I was so naïve and clueless somehow And I know beyond a shadow of a doubt That any love I have for you is useless now To you

Counterfeit 03:49
Behind this mask is a fraud Who tries to hide that he's completely flawed A charlatan who knew all along That there's no way to maintain this facade Cuz I can't deny all of my lies And that I'm not who I claim to be I'm illegitimate My love is counterfeit A pale imitation of the real thing Coming clean to set things straight Baring my soul as I accept my fate But it's very clear that it's too late And there's no way to amend my mistakes Cuz I can't deny all of my lies And that I'm not who I claim to be I'm illegitimate My love is counterfeit A pale imitation of the real thing I can't deny all of my lies And that I'm not who I claim to be I'm illegitimate My love is counterfeit A pale imitation of the real thing

Madness descends and surrounds me Like a prison cell As harlequins all around me Chase white rabbits and dragon's tails This nonsense is hard to believe So forgive me if I don't understand Cuz nothing is quite what it seems In this wonderland I feel so lost in all the confusion And just want to get back home Cuz all I see lacks rhyme and reason As I fall further down the rabbit hole This nonsense is hard to believe So forgive me if I don't understand Cuz nothing is quite what it seems In this wonderland I have to give up on this insanity (Break free) As the answers are anything but clear And somehow get a hold of the golden key That gets me out of here This nonsense is hard to believe So forgive me if I don't understand Cuz nothing is quite what it seems In this wonderland (In this wonderland) In this wonderland (In this wonderland) In this wonderland

I'm completely infatuated with the very thing I can't have As insanely irrational as it might be Still there's something woven in the fabric of my being For my one and only I constantly find myself wasting my precious time Engaged in actions destructive to me Deep down I know I've been holding on to something selfishly My one and only love I struggle to fight the temptations that live inside my head Cuz they've led to me to see things that can't be unseen Like a hand sewn cotton white dress and a diamond ring On my one and only It's something buried in my core I have no control of It's just the way that I feel for My one and only My one and only love Love

Where do we go from here? Seems as though we've hit a dead end road Cuz there's nowhere else for us to go Our future isn't clear All we know is that we don't know Which path to take in this new frontier So confused as we venture through this place with a million doors It feels like anyone we choose will just lead to a million more And maybe the best thing to do is to break free and wander off course What do we do now? We're too far in to try going back And every option forward feels wrong Help is nowhere around We're paralyzed by panic attacks Making half the distance take twice as long So confused as we venture through this place with a million doors It feels like anyone we choose will just lead to a million more And maybe the best thing to do is to break free and wander… Go astray Find another way Don't hesitate Before it's too late So confused as we venture through this place with a million doors It feels like anyone we choose will just lead to a million more And maybe the best thing to do is to break free and wander off course Where do we go from here? Seems as though we've hit a dead end road And there's nowhere else for us to go What happens next isn't clear When all we know is that we don't know Which path to take in this new frontier

Music Box 01:37
(Instrumental)
10.
I come here now in the dead of night with one thing on my mind Hoping you'll get this music box that I'm leaving behind Along with it comes a handwritten note in a leather-bound booklet Letting you know I'll love you until my dying breath My heartbeat's racing as I'm standing here Cuz I'm facing my greatest fear I'm pretty sure that all of this will surprise to you But I hope that you understand it's been long overdue You've been busy living a life I'd like to live With a quality and luxury I could never hope to give My heartbeat's racing as I'm at your door With a pace it's never had before These palpitations are felt in my every fiber Cuz you're the one thing my heart and soul desires And I'd love to be I'd love to be loved I'd love to be I'd love to be loved The only thing that I wanna do Is to feel as loved as you I'd love to be I'd love to be loved I'd love to be I'd love to be loved I'd love to be I'd love to be loved The only thing that I wanna do Is to be as loved as you And I'd love to be I'd love to be loved Just like you Just like you Just like you Just like you

Emerald 04:33
I have within my hand a tiny emerald That reminds me of the power that I hold It's something I keep should things between us unfold So beware of the power that I hold I know everything there is to know about you Like how you're smart, strong and bulletproof It might be your game but I'll play by my own rules Should it ever come down to me against you To you I'm just a vagabond A rouge Less than zero Immoral and cold A criminal An antihero And you're like a diamond unflawed Almost a god I stand against impossible odds I know Others have tried and failed to pierce your skin of steel So you don't understand the confidence I show and feel But you'll learn soon enough that the threat I pose is real Cuz I've found a way to level the playing field To you I'm just a vagabond A rouge Less than zero Immoral and cold A criminal An antihero And you're like a diamond unflawed Almost a god I stand against impossible odds I know Lord I know And as invincible as you appear to be A flash a green changes everything And you're smart enough to understand That I've had every step of this planned And I want you to know When my hand's at your throat I was the one man who brought you to your knees Who brought you to your knees To you I'm just a vagabond A rouge Less than zero Immoral and cold A criminal An antihero And you're like a diamond unflawed Almost a god I stood against impossible odds And won And I know you won't forget the power that I hold And that it goes beyond this tiny emerald

Move On 04:18
Would you help me if I fell down? Would you lend me your hand get me up off the ground? So many times I've been there for you cuz you were my friend The only one that I ever knew that I could depend on… That I could depend on Those times went by so fast and now they're gone Left with the right choices and the wrong And I've spent a long time waiting… And now it's time to move on Do the angels hear me cry at night? I wanna lose my faith with no salvation in my sight And for better or for worse I'm not sure if I can tell But I'm kissing all of my fears an overdue farewell… An overdue farewell Those times went by so fast and now they're gone Left with the right choices and the wrong And I've spent a long time waiting… And now it's time to move on It's time to move on Those times went by so fast and now they're gone Left with the right choices and the wrong And I've spent a long time waiting… You know I've spent a long time waiting… You know I've spent a long time waiting… And now it's time to move on It's time to move on It's time to move on

Fearless 04:04
Could you take a step outside of yourself for a moment To see exactly what you've become? Could you look at yourself and still feel confident Knowing you're the one to rely on Should anything go wrong? Could you take a look at the lines on your face And recognize them as your own? Could you realize the scars they can't be erased? They only get worse as you sit there alone Within your home And there's not a thing you can do to save your soul Fearless as you are You're still out of control You're still out of control And as you wanna crawl down deep into a hole You're fearless but you're falling out of control Could you sit down to see you're not who you thought you were? You're just a shadow of who you wish to be Could you take the time to try and remember That you once had control of your destiny? You once had control of your destiny You had control You had control You had control You had control
