When did this storm begin
: verse 1
Here's a story of the way I wasn't mean to be raised bright yellow sun that fades away to black and blue every place there's a bottle in the shape of your love for me
Now the clouds are twisting higher blinding arrows away piercing the darkness of these streets with my electricity
cold shatters the sky
this is the first day of the rest of our lives because no one truly lives or dies ...
~ Chorus
Call my name
(When did this storm begin?)
Answer me where I stand
Call my name
(When will this story end?)
Answer me where I stand
: verse 2
Every night you drink the money left to pay all the bills no food for us but there's another fucking bottle of pills here's your trophy on my face its just an eye anyway ..
Now the clouds are twisting higher blinding arrows away piercing the darkness of these streets with my electricity
This will go no further I swear it dies today Your nights will stay forever if you dare once more touch me
Money For That
verse 1 : 2
school bells ringing - 1994
music's burning - running - in my head
gonna shout it out
in my head - how could i forget
i'd give u money for that
if there's someway - i could go back
i'd give u money for that
if there's someway - i would
how could i forget
verse 3 : 4
little choices - seemed so pointless
no one near me - ever - slowed me down
i was good to go
in my head - how could i forget
pictures on rented walls
all of the souls - i know
it's like another time
where did it go - where did it all go
I Owe You A Love Song
: verse 1
remember the days
of sleepless summer nights
that took us away
a perfect place, a different time
back when nothing was wrong
now were each sold separately
our summers are gone
grey skies are all i see
: verse 2
Waiting alone
In the world you made for me
Makes staying in love
Just a world of make believe
Where I'm playing along
And your words aren't clear to me
Like hearing a song
Without a melody
: verse 3
we climb - we crawl
tear down - the wall
that we've torn down before
it's not - too late
this song - will say
what i never say
~ Chorus
these broken days won't last forever
you know i'll put us back together
i owe you a love song
so much i could say
i owe you a love song
words that i can't say
Ghost Town
: verse 1
everyone living in ghost town
everyone buried in wasteland
we don't want to
we don't have to
be like that
living in ghost town
all the boys shout it out loud now
all the girls scream it out louder
we don't want to
we don't have to live like that
~ Chorus
hold me back
you know were never gonna back down
hold me back
you know were never gonna back down
were dead in this ghost town
you better let go so
let go - let go of me
were dead in this ghost town
you better let go so
let go - let go of me
: verse 2
it's nearly over
the last train is here
and it's leaving behind those years
these are the bad lands
the worst taste in fear
making graves for the ones we left here
were calling, calling to say goodbye
It Became A Lie On You
: verse 1
shocking how the evidence lands on this holiday
your creeping up with venomous thoughts that you've waited to say
your words are sneaking out of your throat like an open grave
i haven't spoke to you in a year that's why i say
: verse 2
if you think that i'm not the same then i guess you've changed
blackened by the dirt that you made to smear my name
the pit that you've been digging for me became your home
for deeming me as bad company i hope you know
: verse 3
it feels like your letting go
i beg for days to know
why your letting go
bring on the poison
thoughts in your throat
i beg for days to know
why your letting go
~ Chorus
it became a lie on you
Ricochet!
: verse 1
Welcome Back To
Where I'm Gonna Have You
Shell Shock Fall Back
Anyone I See Through
Watch Your Head Spin
Like A Meso Cyclone
Bouncing Off The Walls
Now Theres Nowere To Run (Oh!)
~ Chorus
Like A Bullet
Meant To Be Shot
Youre The Target
Dead On The Spot
When I Focus
I Never Miss
Starts With A Kiss......
She Richote's - And You Don't Notice
She's In Your Head
And You Just Don't Notice
: verse 2
Let The Sweat Fall
Find Me In The Back Stall
Let It Snow Down
Now Were Gunna Deck Halls
I Hit The Bulls Eye
Making All The Boys Cry
Hit The Mainline
Breaking Through The Night Sky
Season of Love
: verse 1
Every question
Every answer too
Ever constant
Ever changing view
it's a memory in the sun
or it's hell in the darkness
Maybe it's all around to see
If we try
Maybe it's been inside of me
All this time
~ Chorus
Love
: verse 2
Crazy with it
Crazier without
Never certain
Never full of doubt
Now you feel it, now you don't
Do you know what your feeling?
Where did it come from and where
Does it go
If it were right in front of me
Would I know
Poison
: verse 1
voices
a child in sound
fades away
the silence is spoken
those eyes were you and me
mother
I'm now the same as you
till the end of someone's world
and the cradle
says goodbye to yesterday
~ Chorus
painfully
I prepare a release
and poison
takes me away
poison
take me away
on angels wings
you learned to fly ...
: verse 2
Listen
don't cry my child
when you awake
my father's table
has set a place for you
contact
with fire from love
has shortened all my days
a season of poison
will bring the darkness soon...
Blown Away
: verse 1
days, i haven't seen days
just solid water run down my face
days, i've missed so many days
in a world that has become an unfamiliar place
now to you I'm just an unfamiliar face
i'm losing myself again
you swore you'd be around - this time
: verse 2
will you still be there
with your heart boarded up
nailed with my mistakes
should i start giving up
or am i to late
is losing myself again
turning us into friends this time
: verse 3
shattered days everybody wants more
if taken away everybody wants yours
these shattered days everybody wants more
we never change
~ Chorus
when revelation calls
and everything is blown away
Turned To Real Life
: verse 1
eyes are magic
see right through me
makes me feel like
a girl in a fantasy
turned to real life
stars in the morning
makes me feel like
a girl in a fantasy
turned to real life
: verse 2
now I'm glowing
like a sunset
in the window
of my dreams
that turned to real life
I'll never forget when
for the first time
A girl in a fantasy
turned to real life
: verse 3
your fingers running
over my body
makes me feel like
a silver angel
under the moonlight
right beside me
makes me feel like
a girl in a fantasy
turned to real life
~ Chorus
Makes me feel like
a girl in a fantasy
turned to real life
I'm a believer
for the first time
I can be beautiful
a girl in a fantasy
turned to real life
Frozen Oceans
: verse 1
I can't sleep
I've lost the urge to sing
where'd you go?
I said ooooo-ooooo
no one's left a friend
the cost of ill pretend
I need you now ...
I said oooo-ooooo
~ Chorus
ten thousand miles apart
a frozen ocean joins our hearts
I can't wait
to meet you when
the frozen waves meet ocean floors
you'll be standing on the shore
I can't wait
to meet you then
: verse 2
I still dream
but what can i believe
lost again
i said ooo-ooooo
frozen shapes to bend
impossible sets in
still alone
I said ooo-ooooo

Great song, good lyrics. I think Chad gets to showcase his vocal talents on the chorus as well. The video is interesting but doesn’t fully capture what I’ve come to enjoy from the group. This new sound will take a long while for me to get used to because I’m a huge fan of Rainy Monday, but overall, this song ricochets around my head.
lol. I love this song way too much.
once, I was w/ my friends on the subway and I started singing/whispering/screaming the “LaLaLaLaLaLaLa” thingy the guy does in this song under my breath, and, dude, did I get some wierd looks. xD
