Track Name: Our Escape
You lost this race before you started
Others unlike you, the broken hearted,
the beaten down the lost, discarded
are fucking running, they're fucking running
Because they know if they see the sun
that's the last free air they’ll breathe
With rifles at their backs
and freedom all they long for
If I don’t meet you there, call me left for dead

We planned our escape stars overhead
If I don't meet you there call me left for dead
Lead the others through the night
I’ll meet you on the other side

The dogs had found me an hour later
They strung me up hanging helpless waiting
I could read their stoic faces
Thought we'd given up, I’ll never give you up!
Even standing on my throat
And staring in his eyes
He knows my battle’s won
My family will survive
If I don’t meet you there, call me left for dead

We planned our escape stars overhead
If I don't meet you there call me left for dead
Lead the others through the night
I’ll meet you on the other side
Track Name: The Last Time
Step outside again I’m on my own
I’ve learned to prefer it that way for now
I do all of my best work when I’ve been kicked down to the ground
And the only way to get back up is to rearrange the pieces
I’ll never do what’s best for me it’s true
The only thing keeping me alive is you
Luckily I can push away and somehow when I come to you’ve stayed
Not for my lack of trying, not for my lack of trying

Don’t you move until I say so
Until I let you go, because
As long as you will listen
And as long as I have breath
I will be strong, and carry on

I can put that nervous energy to use
Because once I set it free you feel it too
Uneasy at the onset but once I get a grip
I let the feeling take a hold and I know I’ve finally come through

Don’t you move until I say so
Until I let you go, because
As long as you will listen
And as long as I have breath
I will be strong, and carry on

When I say it’s the last time
When I say it’s the last time
It’s the never the last time
It’s the never the last time
When I say it’s the worst time
When I say it’s the worst time
It’s always the last time
It’s always the last time

Don’t you move until I say so
Until I let you go, because
As long as you will listen
And as long as I have breathe
I will be strong, and carry on
Track Name: Cheap Thrills
Empty cries
of the most desperate of men
You have to ask yourself
Could he really be that vindictive
Could he really be that cruel
Take one look into my eyes

Tell me what you see
Is this a man who’s been pushed to the brink
Tell me what you see
Is this a man past the point of no return

Vacant eyes
of the most solemn of men
Finger heavy on the trigger
Let it go - the weight the pleas the lies
Get back in the car and drive
Run so far tomorrow never comes

Tell me what you see
Is this a man who’s been pushed to the brink
Tell me what you see
Is this a man past the point of no return

Cheap thrills they don’t come easy any more (any more)
Cheap thrills they don’t come easy any more (any more)
Cheap thrills they don’t come easy any more (any more)

Tell me what you see
Is this a man who’s been pushed to the brink
Tell me what you see
Is this a man past the point of no return
Track Name: Breathe Deep
Open eyes, reset repeat
Go through the same pattern that you did last week
Close eyes, attempt to retreat
Soaked with gin and doubt and no relief
Try to put down all the weight - reset the scales
But the load it worsens, your legs are getting weak

What gives you strength
What sets you free
keeps you from falling over from fatigue
It breathes you in
you finally believe

If you’re present is not what you want
And your past you’d rather do without
Burn it down, watch it fall, start again
We can sit and wait and die wanting
Or we can stand and take and die trying
Burn it down, watch it fall, start again

Open eyes, reset repeat
Go through the same old shit that I did last week
Less and less able to admit my own defeat
The words that are floating through my head
They can’t just casually be said
They will only have some meaning if they come out of me screaming

What gives you strength
What sets you free
keeps you from falling over from fatigue
It breathes you in
you finally believe
That you may be able to start again
What gives you strength
What sets you free
keeps you from falling over from fatigue
It breathes you in

If you’re present is not what you want
And your past you’d rather do without
Burn it down, watch it fall, start again
We can sit and wait and die wanting
Or we can stand and take and die trying
Burn it down, watch it fall, start again

If you’re present is not what you want
And your past you’d rather do without
Burn it down, watch it fall, start again
We can sit and wait and die wanting
Or we can stand and take and die trying
Burn it down, watch it fall, start again
