Undaunted 01:14
We're here from far and wide Let us play your heartstrings one last time This is one for all those sad songs that didn't make it on the b-sides And all these heart-filled cries for help of mine Break my heart so I can write a few more lines about the missing parts of me and us And what we used to be because We'll take the fall again We're undaunted We'll take those feelings you had inside and bring them out to play one last time
2.
Breathe in this mess you made Take in the smoke and flames If I walked away, I'd make the same mistakes And I'll try not to take the fall for you You made me cold The barrier is broken, it took your backbone down with it But don't scream too loud You rip your reasons down For your girl, the boulder Steal my oxygen, smolder Take every bridge I ever built and burn it to the ground I know what you do when I'm not around Word travelled and made its rounds Ring out your heart Know when to draw the line I've seen this too many times Staring at the ceiling, thank God you're leaving Ring out your heart
3.
I'm young and my story has just begun I know I'm not the only one Who'd love to see you stick around tonight We might not live to see the day Of the next time you walk away So let's blow this roof off properly I guess this is the part where they tell us we'll never make it We'll take their ego and we'll break it Just for tonight, swing for the fences My trembling hands won't call the shots tonight Let's set this right, swing for the fences You know we'll all end up in higher places Tonight we'll take this city by storm And no we won't apologize Maybe we're both lying but we're both damn good Yeah, we're both damn good I guess this is the part where they tell us we'll never make it We'll take their ego and we'll break it Just for tonight, swing for the fences My trembling hands won't call the shots tonight Let's set this right, swing for the fences You know we'll all end up in higher places
4.
I awoke head spinning because your pictures were falling down I felt the air start thinning, sometimes I can't breathe with you around Make no mistake, my darling, it's time you should pack up and go Lately there's no denying that you're a one-way dead end road I think that it's time you should go You say I drink too much but I'm not changing who I am I say you judge too hard but I don't think you give a damn I felt my heart turn black at that moment I gave you a smile You traded your heart for my lungs the second you put mine on trial I hope that you're fucked for a while I've been thinking about how you've only ever been there to watch me fall And I'm sick of it all You've got me on the outside looking in on this life and love we lived I've got you feeling like a wreck now baby, yeah Like a fucking wreck now baby, yeah
5.
May I interest you to get up and jump in? Let's wipe the floor with the words trapped in our minds This crowd has a history and you ought to know better than to ask us why We're the prettiest gang in town and you know boy It's time for you to fight for what we see as right So take up arms and we'll see you on the other side We'll take the best of the worst tonight 'Cause they take so much less to leave behind Are you ready now, go This might hurt a bit but you won't feel a thing Until he's the one that's suffering And if you live to tell the truth, I'm warning you You're as good as in Reach out and join the gang It starts with a war cry and we're into it You can stand your ground, but don't get clipped Or you'll find yourself in a blackening world tonight Trapped with this world of metaphor strapped before our eyes Where everyone's a gentleman and gentlemen all alike
6.
I hope this sets you straight I hope tonight will set you straight He fucking got away He took her and he got away She has a bad reputation, critical condition Devil on my shoulder A year full of bad notes and antidotes and bloody knuckles She's still my cancer (She's still cancer) She's a defeater I don't need her She's got her guy in the next room and I'm writing this story I guess it's just too damn bad I can't wipe my heart off of my sleeve I'll pick up the pieces and tread lightly Oakland is calling and it's time for me I'll never let this go An old flame that burned things to the ground He came around and now he's dancing with the queen I hope this sets me straight I hope this bottle sets me straight He fucking got away He took her and he got away Now my throat is raw I have nothing left to scream Your mid-boredom "miss him's" don't mean a fucking thing Let me show you what it's like to fall through as I come crashing down See you around Let me leave this place tonight I hate this I'm second guessing you I'm leaving you And I'll grow

Rehab 03:44
I'm feeling trapped in this b-side life Staring up at a million ways to die You could have left the room in silence Or even had the nerve to try Can't afford to go back that way There's just temptation on my mind And in this chest, there's a hole that's left When you tear this heart out every fucking time I could have sworn it was light The last time that I stepped foot outside You could have fooled me once And told me that the earth stopped spinning Right before my eyes I've let you down, but here and now The worst has got the best of me I know you'll never live this down You would never come back around And I know you'll never live this down But who was I to prove? 'Cause I was doing fine until you walked into my life And in the dead of the night I find that I will hear you calling It makes it feel like a getaway I've let you down, but here and now The worst has got the best of me I know you'll never live this down You would never come back around And I know you'll never live this down But who was I to prove? 'Cause I was doing fine Trapped in this b-side life With a million ways to die I think I see the light Good night
