Normal 03:36
Follow the lights Guide your way and leave you blind You blink and blur your eyes So you won’t see what lies inside Follow the rules Build your house on shallow grounds And listen to the fools Telling you to settle down, you Can’t wake up from this haze when you’re stuck in their maze Leave the que to the place you don’t want You try so hard to fit in to the norm that won’t fit Leave the shackles and say Who needs normal anyway ... Find your own way out Leave the walls that kept you grounded Free yourself from doubt You can have all that you wanted All the shadows you blame will remember your name Almost human but you’re not the same All the strength that you find, it’s all there in your mind And you know what to say Who needs normal anyway ... Cause you’re so much more Than meets the eye Who needs normal anyway ...

I wish I knew your name before you found it I wish we were the same, a striking perfect match We’re glowing in the dark, our palms are lanterns And you’re giving me your spark to hold on to when you’re gone You have no plan but you follow it As though your life depends on it You roll the dice and you count on it To show you where to go You know you’re the best solution All you needs a revolution Kill your darlings retribution Cut and paste use your illusion Fake it till you make it And if that won’t work just go and take it They can run but you are quicker Leave the light, make it flicker Leave the light, leave the light, leave the light I watch you as you grow long like a shadow You wanted them to know the real heart inside of you The power’s in your hand, you taste it on your tongue But they won’t understand until you’re long gone You have no plan but you follow it As though your life depends on it You roll the dice and you count on it To show you where to go Close your eyes, it’s a delusion Never ask for absolution Break your mirrors, end pollution You can trust your own conclusion Fake it till you make it And if that won’t work just go and take it They can run but you are quicker Leave the light, make it flicker Leave the light, leave the light, leave the light I wish I knew your name before you found it

Powerless 03:26
The show can’t go on, you’re alone The lights are off and all is gone Blacked out When the power fails, all that remains Is the glowing screen you guard with your life A ray of hope – for the hopeless But the dancers will dance to the beat of their own drum The sound of their rhythm will help guide you home But it’s not part of the show Can you give me a sign, give me a signal, show me the way cause I can’t seem to find it How can you know what’s left and what’s right When you're powerless and there’s no light Can you hear me now I can see your lips move but you’re breaking down And the speakers can’t help you now You lose your power, you lose control No lights to tell you where to go Let’s just walk for a bit and see what happens Will you wait by your phone, will you bide your time Will you get up and take the blackout in stride Cause this is the time Can you hear me now I can see your lips move but you’re breaking down And the speakers can’t help you now This is not a test, it’s all for the best Now that the lights are off, I can finally see the road Can you see me now I’ll walk the distance cause We‘re still here Slowly adjusting our eyes To see in the darkness So keep holding on To your thoughts You’ll need them tomorrow

In My Head 03:16
You speak your mind behind my back, and watch the firewall crack I see the signs, attack, and I’m No more than frail and weak The more you speak, I become a freak But it’s all in my head All my weakness turns to strength instead And all you said Has no power over me because You made your bed And you think you can go on and pretend I won’t forget, and I see it clearly now It’s all in my head You go out you close the door on all that I am You leave a hole in my soul But I, won’t pin your words to the wall I’ll uninstall, what makes me small Cause it’s all in my head … It’s all in my head All my weakness turns to strength instead And all you said Has no power over me because It’s in your head And you think you can go on and pretend But I see red, and I see it clearly now It’s all in my head

No Heroes 03:20
Where’d you go You left and I don’t know Just where I can belong Sad like a country song playing on the radio all day long The frequency’s all wrong I’m almost out of hope Hanging at the end of the rope Balancing and trying to cope I don’t know where to go, I’m afraid of falling down Cause no one’s there to catch me when I hit the ground, beneath the tightrope No one’s there to save me, cause I have No heroes, I’ve got no one To light up this dark sky with no stars and no sun I’ve got no one to count on when the day is done I’ve got no heroes, I’ve got no one But my own… Wide awake The thoughts I can’t escape If I could find a cape I’d put it on and fly out of the window Looking down at everyone who will remember once I’m gone that I might be the only one To save them from themselves cause they’ve got No heroes, they’ve got no one To light up this dark sky with no stars and no sun They’ve got no one to count on when the day is done They’ve got no heroes, they’ve got no one But I’ll be the hero, I will be someone To light up this dark sky with no stars and no sun When the world has left me with no other choice I’ve got no heroes, so I’ll find a voice To be my own…
