Met a tall tall man with a master plan Took a bit of time but now he’s got a line K’s his inside man, start to work the plan He took his time casing out the joint Finding out the dirt on the ladies and the boys His new marks to cross It’s a hostage situation Make no mistake, oh oh oh It’s a hostage situation Make no mistake, oh oh oh Now as time moves on K is getting stronger In a few months time he’s gonna blow their minds With the tall tall man he’s gonna rule the land They’ll fall in love with every word He coos and says even if it’s all absurd He’s got em now It’s a hostage situation Make no mistake, oh oh oh It’s a hostage situation Make no mistake, oh oh oh It’s a hostage situation Make no mistake, oh oh oh It’s a hostage situation Make no mistake, oh oh oh Now’s the perfect time to show em all his hand Got his sites in line shoots em one at a time With the tall tall man reveal the master plan Trained from the start not to leave their mark Now the game is done they’ve won time to move on To new marks to cross It’s a hostage situation Make no mistake, oh oh oh It’s a hostage situation Make no mistake, oh oh oh It’s a hostage situation Make no mistake, oh oh oh It’s a hostage situation Make no mistake, oh oh oh It’s a hostage situation Make no mistake, oh oh oh It’s a hostage situation Make no mistake, oh oh oh

End of a Gun 04:12
Where are you where are you gunning to What are you what are you running from Do you know of a place where we can hide from The broken broken place you called home Do you know how far we gotta go Gotta go No matter How far you get You can never get away from it It lives inside you A devil’s see grows each time you bleed The dark that eats you whole No matter no matter where you go The face in the mirror is yours The demon demon always knows Always knows He always, always comes to feed on you When you are low How far do we gotta go, gotta go No matter How far you get You can never get away from it It lives inside you A devil’s see grows each time you bleed The dark that eats you whole Making you making you lose your mind Cause he lives lives in you He breathes breathes each time You do you do He can see, see through your eyes He knows, knows what’s inside Your mind Before you do No matter How far you get You can never get away from it It lives inside you A devil’s see grows each time you bleed The dark that eats you whole Oh you can run run run run From yourself self self self It only leads to the end end end end end end end Oh you can run run run run From yourself self self self It only leads to the end end end end of a gun No matter How far you get You can never get away from it It lives inside you A devil’s see grows each time you bleed The dark that eats you whole The dark that eats you whole (run run run run) The dark that eats you whole (self self self self) The dark that eats you whole (gun gun gun gun)

STAYING OR LEAVING He moves in and out of My picture frames like water In and out of a broken glass The things he says just makes it Harder and harder To forget all the bad All the bad Time to cut my eyes away Let the lies lie where they lay Lay ay ay ay ay Your smile is always the same Never could tell when you were leaving Or stay ay ay ay aying A broken heart works harder Dreams even harder Thought the dream is slipping past Some things are meant to wither Into a winter Dissipating into ash With all the bad Time to cut my eyes away Let the lies lie where they lay Oh oh Lay ay ay ay ay Your smile is always the same Never could tell when you were leaving Or stay ay ay ay aying I’m begging you to stay You’re driving me away I’m asking for one more day Cause I need you to hear what I gotta say Oh wait, oh wait I guess it’s time for me to I guess it’s time for me to Time to cut my eyes away Let the lies lie where they lay Oh oh Lay ay ay ay ay Your smile is always the same Never could tell when you were leaving Or stay ay ay ay aying Was it worth it worth it no no No no no no no oh oh oh Now it’s too late too late No no no no no oh oh oh

Go On 03:52
Go on and fall off the face of the earth Because you’ve forgotten what we’re worth You go on your travels changing a little day after day Coming to visit not to stay Why don’t you go on and fall off Go on and just go, go away I’ve learned not to miss you Living alone most of our days Most of my memories are of our boy, girls and me Our girls on stage so pretty I wish you could see Our boy hit a double and drove in the winning run He asked where Daddy was Where has he gone So why don’t you go on and fall off Go on and just go, go away I’ve learned not to miss you Living alone most of our days (musical break) So why don’t you go on and fall off Go on and just go, go away I’ve learned not to miss you Living alone most of our days My feelings for you are all but gone But when I see you they come back strong The lights in the house are always on But they barely lead you home So why don’t you go on and fall off Go on and just go, go away We’ve learned not to miss you Living alone most of our days We’ve learned not to miss you Living alone most of our days We’ve fought long hard Talkins’ not enough So just fall off

Supernova 04:55
You can close your eyes now And goto sleep, don’t worry You won’t miss a thing now Don’t you know, you’re the star of the show When the walls are closing in And you feel like you’re losing your mind You gotta remind yourself You are a supernova Ready to blow up and show the world A blinding light from inside ya’ You are the sun and everything revolves around you Everything revolves around you When the tears begin to fall and they won’t dry at all No matter what you do or who you call Loose your wings so you can fly past it all Into the sky When the walls are closing in And you feel like you’re losing your mind You gotta remind yourself You are a supernova Ready to blow up and show the world A blinding light from inside ya’ You are the sun and everything revolves around you Everything revolves around you Everything revolves around you Everything revolves around you Open up and let it soar Cause you’re something bigger Something more Something more Something more You are a supernova Ready to blow up and show the world A blinding light from inside ya’ You are the sun and everything revolves around you Everything revolves around you Everything revolves around you Everything revolves around you Everything revolves around you Everything revolves around you

I left that day with my kids and God by my side Didn’t know where we’d be sleeping that night Had no choice and somehow I didn’t know But something in my heart said I had to go Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm I’ve taken up too much of our sweet time Trying to make us work but we’re not doing fine I think it’s best if one of us should go Because you and I are both old enough to know No matter how hard we tried The bitter cycle begins again, begins again Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm Now five years have passed and the kids Are all now in school Work a steady job just enough to make due To pay the rent and make do on the rest We may not be rich but I’m doing my best Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm I’ve taken up too much of our sweet time Trying to make us work but we’re not doing fine I think it’s best if one of us should go Because you and I are both old enough to know No matter how hard we tried The bitter cycle begins again, begins again Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm No matter how much I cried, and fuss and fight To bind the hurt that I hide inside The half-truths and lies And me waiting all night Waiting all night I just can’t live by I’ve taken up too much of our sweet time Trying to make us work but we’re not doing fine I think it’s best if one of us should go Because you and I are both old enough to know No matter how hard we tried The bitter cycle begins again, begins again Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm Ooohhhh ooohhhh oooohhhhhh

Poison 04:26
Who would have thought that I would want to walk back into the fires with you Who would have known that I would want to drown myself in the water that’s you I wonder Do you want me forever Or is it til’ you find something better The sky is darkening and the weather’s changing bringing me no good news Cause when it comes to you You’ll sway with me back and forth until you’re through Promises of we’ll make it make it last this time Will I have your heart before it’s over La da di da aah aay yay Who would have thought that I would want to taste the poison that you brew How was I to know I would take you back when it’s clear that we are through Do you want me forever Or is it til’ you find something better The sky is darkening and the weather’s changing bringing me no good news Cause when it comes to you You’ll sway with me back and forth until you’re through Promises of we’ll make it make it last this time Will I have your heart before it’s over I I I wanted you forever But you only wanted Me until you Found Something better Something better The sky is darkening and the weather’s changing bringing me no good news Cause when it comes to you You’ll sway with me back and forth until you’re through Promises of we’ll make it make it last this time Will I have your heart before it’s over Who would have thought that I would want to walk back into the fires with you Who would have known that I would want to drown myself in the water that’s you

You Lied 02:52
You said I was the only one Ever in your life You said you were down for the ride Until the til’ the end of the line But then you turned and just walked away Changed your mind with nothing left to say You lied, you lied Turned away as I cried You lied, you lied Turned away as I cried You said I was the only one You would never turn away from You said I was the only one Who could keep you from coming undone But then you turned and just walked away Changed your mind with nothing left to say You lied, you lied Turned away as I cried You lied, you lied Turned away as I cried Who says that a temporary lover can’t Cause you pain, oh oh Who says that a part-time lover can’t Cause you to go insane, yeah yeah You lied, you lied Turned away as I cried You lied, you lied Turned away as I cried You lied, you lied Turned away as I cried You lied, you lied Turned away as I cried You lied, you lied Turned away as I cried

We kill ourselves working day to day On the job that don’t pay enough to say Man I feel my worth I made it to the top I can see their pockets are filling out But for me my pockets are thinning out I think it’s time to tear the system down down down We ply ourselves with pain relievers To make our minds its own deceivers Can you imagine how I felt when my world ended but the rest of the world didn’t care enough to stop I can see their pockets are filling out But for me my pockets are thinning out I think it’s time to tear the system down down down When the world begins to take a little And you think oh it’s only a little I can handle it I’ve got more Then one morning you wake to find You have nothing left to give Nothing to even fill the shoes on the floor So when it’s all gone How you’ gonna find more Find a way to get it back Get it back, get it back (D. Rob) I just wanna fly away high away somewhere I can hide away running from the problems in my life tryna find a way boss in my own right star in my own light seen on the scene but when I see him then its on site falling from the highest height terminal velocity born as a peasant breaking rules of aristocracy runaway freight train ain't nobody stopping me from tearing down the system till it ain't no more monopoly When the world begins to take a little And you think oh it’s only a little I can handle it I’ve got more Then one morning you wake to find You have nothing left to give Nothing to even fill the shoes on the floor So when it’s all gone How you’ gonna find more Find a way to get it back Get it back, get it back Feel my hunger pains it’s everyday Push my anger turning it to rage Push my mind to break Can you make it stop I can see their pockets are filling out But for me my pockets are thinning out I think it’s time to tear the system down down down We ply ourselves with pain relievers To make our minds its own deceivers When the world begins to take a little And you think oh it’s only a little I can handle it I’ve got more Then one morning you wake to find You have nothing left to give Nothing to even fill the shoes on the floor So when it’s all gone How you’ gonna find more Find a way to get it back Get it back, get it back Get it back

Have it All 04:08
I am so sick and tired of you twisting all of my words So they can fit on the curve of your tongue when you think you deserve All of the things that’s just for you Just for you When I am the one fighting for more than me and you ooohhhh If this is how you justify it Denying the truth behind this (oh oh oh) Then what’s the sense in me trying to ride this out with you (oh oh oh) You can have everything you wanted But me, but me, but me I’m leaving you everything you wanted But me, but me, but me You can have it all My mission was to work united, between you and I But there’s more fighting than love You battle with your words like smoking bullets blowing from your gun All of the things I did for you, now it’s no use I can’t even see your reasoning I’m so confused ooooh oooh ooooh If this is how you justify it Denying the truth behind this (oh oh oh) Then what’s the sense in me trying to ride this out with you (oh oh oh) You can have everything you wanted But me, but me, but me I’m leaving you everything you wanted But me, but me, but me You can have it all Have it all You can have it all have it all You can have it all, have it all, have it all Have it all, have it all, have it all, have it all If this is how you justify it Denying the truth behind this (oh oh oh) Then what’s the sense in me trying to ride this out with you (oh oh oh) You can have everything you wanted But me, but me, but me I’m leaving you everything you wanted But me, but me, but me You can have it all You can have it all You can have it all

Hold On 04:34
Ooooh hooo Ooooh hooo We fought so hard, we fought so long Now nothing’s here, it’s all gone We worked so hard at the start Now you’re working so hard to tear us apart Move on, now don’t you try and hold on Why can’t you just move along So long I took a walk in the woods today I bowed my head to God and prayed To give me strength to carry on To bring us together make us strong But you said Move on, now don’t you try and hold on Why can’t you just move along So long Ooooh hooo Ooooh hooo Like falling into the stars Like falling in love, not apart It was you, me, us Under one roof is all I want Where I lay my head My whole heart But you said move on Told me so long You said move on Told me so long Move on, now don’t you try and hold on Why can’t you just move along So long Why can’t you just move along Move on, so long Move along, so long
