Dancing With A Ghost - Valencia

Have you skipped through broken records of your past and future self,
desperate to find exactly how it was you fell?
'Cause when you fell, you fell hard from dancing with a ghost.
When you don't understand the walls that break your hopes of going home,
the truth hurts a lot more when it's from someone that you love.
It'll make you fall and fall hard from dancing with a ghost.

It's in the middle of your head, the middle of your head.

Don't say you don't, don't know what it's like.
Try sinking your teeth in, taste the commitment.
You'll feel better when you face, face all of your fears.
Don't take it out on the music, feel your feet moving.
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
when you're dancing with a ghost.

Some days I float too far away from every point I try to make.
I stumble over words, get lost in empty boring phrase.
If I don't make sense, and I don't connect,
the feeling just escapes.
So just take me as I am and push me, put me in my place.
'Cause if I just pretend, I'll feel like everything's okay.
And when I fall, I'll fall hard from dancing with a ghost.

It's in the middle of my head, the middle of my head.

Don't say you don't, don't know what it's like.
Try sinking your teeth in, taste the commitment.
You'll feel better when you face, face all of your fears.
Don't take it out on the music, feel your feet moving.
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow,
sometimes you feel complete and sometimes you feel hollow.
Don't be afraid of change, 'cause you know it's all
in the middle of your head, stop living in the past.

Don't say you don't, don't know what it's like.
Try sinking your teeth in, taste the commitment.
You'll feel better when you face, face all of your fears.
Don't take it out on the music, feel your feet moving.

Don't say you don't, don't know what it's like.
Try sinking your teeth in, taste the commitment.
You'll feel better when you face, face all of your fears.
Don't take it out on the music, feel your feet moving
when you're dancing with a ghost.

Spinning Out - Valencia

I remember it so clearly. It was a dark, grey, rainy day.
I came over, feeling sorry, standing drunk there from the rain.
Yeah, you opened up the doorway, feeling broken from the start.
You let me in, and I began.

I feel like I'm in over my head, I just always self destruct.
I guess I'm blinded by the sudden loss of love.
I wonder who picks up the pieces when we fall apart.
Even empires burn to ashes and don't know where to start.

Spinning out, I think we've lost control.
We're burning down every letter that we wrote.
Bruised for now, some bruises just don't fade.
I know somehow, some way, things will get better.

I remember it so clearly as you walked out of your door.
You said, "Wait, wait. I can't take no more of the slurred excuses."
Every single word I ever said was in your benefit.

I felt my world fall down around me, my world jut split apart.
Guess it's alright when your left with broken hearts,
because you grow with good intentions,
you learn more about this life.
I watched our empire burn to ashes
as you left me there that night.

Spinning out, I think we've lost control.
We're burning down every letter that we wrote.
Bruised for now, some bruises just don't fade.
I know somehow, some way, things will get better.

Spinning out, I think we've lost control.
We're burning down every letter that we wrote.
Bruised for now, some bruises just don't fade.
I know somehow, some way, things will get better.

Don't wait, can't take more of this mess.
You're late on every broken promise,
and all I want is for everything to be alright again.
But I can't wait again.

I can't take no more.

Spinning out, I think we've lost control.
We're burning down every letter that we wrote.
Bruised for now, some bruises just don't fade.
I know somehow, some way, things will get better.

Spinning out, I think we've lost control.
We're burning down every letter that we wrote.
Bruised for now, some bruises just don't fade.
I know somehow, some way, things will get better.

Still Need You Around (Lost Without You) - Valencia

It's times like these where I lose myself in the stories
my old man would tell about life, true love, and war,
the kind of war where you beat yourself.
'Cause now I've got this stomach pain,
the kind of pain that gets worse when the rain hits hard,
like my fist when I try to explain to the wall this mess I'm in.
See, I'm tired now and my mind won't quit
since I got the news that you were sick.
I thought of life, of time and death.
If I could only use my breathe,
I'd breathe my life into your lungs.
With love and strength, I have faith I will lift you up.
It's a lesson learned.

As we move on, I still need your around.
I'd be lost without you.
I'm not sure I could face this world on my own.
No, I don't wanna go on alone.
I don't wanna go on alone.
I don't wanna go.

I'm terrified that this fear exists,
and I'm scared I'll come to terms with it, but that's life.
You are what you leave,
like the simple lessons my dad taught me.
I know we all grow old and die and make our place in another life.

I'm glad that there's still time to let you know,
I still need your around.
I'd be lost without you.
I'm not sure I could face this world on my own.
No, I don't wanna go on alone.
I don't wanna go on alone.
I don't wanna go.

So live it up, live it up.
'Cause you'll never know, never know.
Time is always running, it will always guide you home.
So live it up, live it up.
'Cause you'll never know, never know.
Time is always running, it will always guide you home.
So live it up, live it up.
'Cause you'll never know, never know.
Time is always running, it will always guide you home.

I don't wanna go on alone.
I don't wanna go on alone.
I don't wanna go on alone.
I don't wanna go on alone.

Consider Me Dead - Valencia

You don't need me now, so I'll show myself out.
I've learned my lesson.
If there is nothing left to hold onto to,
then there is nothing to let go.

Consider me dead.
Consider me dead like this.

Hello, I'm sorry that I wasn't listening.
Why the long face, man?
I swear I care, but you claim not enough.
You should've made a difference when you had a chance.

So consider me dead.
Consider me dead like this.
If that's how you roll, then roll.
If there is nothing left to hold onto,
then there is nothing to let go.
Consider me dead like this.

So consider me dead.

Losing Sleep - Valencia

I'm losing too much sleep these days.
Some say that my life ain't safe.
I guess I'm trying to find the words,
to say that maybe I'm tired.
I've been drinking way too much these days.
I can't even remember my face,
until I wake up in another state, in a town unexpected.

And see myself as I'm changing shape,
unlike a coward who changes face.
I'm turning myself in today.
I gotta finish what I start.

Give me the chance to speak my mind,
my opinions are the social kind.
If it's you for you and I for I,
then one of us is gonna leave here blind.
You know I won't give up without a fight,
even if I'm the one who's wrong and you're who's right.

It's not right to be brought down by words from an unknown mouth.
They think they've figured me out, but they don't even know me.
This has taken a turn for the worst,
as fate showed up in a blacked out hearse,
ready to carry my soul away and bury my body.

So if you checked the weather report,
then why the fuck are we driving north?
You know we're headed into the storm to finish what we started.

Just give me the chance to speak my mind,
my opinions are the social kind.
If it's you for you and I for I,
then one of us is gonna leave here blind.
You know I won't give up without a fight,
even if I'm the one who's wrong and you're who's right.

I'm been losing too much sleep these days.
Some say that my life ain't safe,
'cause I've been stuck here waiting.

Give me the chance to speak my mind,
my opinions are the social kind.
If it's you for you and I for I,
then one of us is gonna leave here blind.
You know I won't give up without a fight,
even if I'm the one who's wrong and you're who's right.
Even if you're the one who's wrong, and I'm who's right.

Friday Night - Valencia

It started out on a Friday night.
I went out for a drive and never looked back.
I wanted out 'cause I knew you were right.
I put it all on the line just to see you react.

Typical breakthrough, just different words used.
Obviously, thought you knew me.

When desperate we collide and disappear in fear.
We've been living in a dream.
Selfishly, I try to blur the lines that hide that I,
I guess I fucked up. I guess I was wrong.
I guess you wouldn't understand.
I don't regret a single moment.
And if I'm fucked up, so what if you're right?
Just try to understand,
that I only regret the things I haven't done yet.

When all these fights stem from foolish pride,
you put actions aside 'cause you can't comprehend.
There's no excuse, walk away or you lose.
Whichever you choose, it's just the means to an end.

I can't believe you, all that we've been through.
Obviously, you don't know me.

When desperate we collide and disappear in fear.
We've been living in a dream.
Selfishly, I try to blur the lines that hide that I,
I guess I fucked up. I guess I was wrong.
I guess you wouldn't understand.
I don't regret a single moment.
And if I'm fucked up, so what if you're right?
Just try to understand,
that I only regret the things I haven't done yet.

My heart's the only thing that's on my mind.
It's not a crime to feel more connected
to the things you've lost than the things that you've gained.
What have you gained?

I guess I fucked up. I guess I was wrong.
I guess you wouldn't understand.
I don't regret a single moment.
And if I'm fucked up, so what if you're right?
Just try to understand,
that I only regret the things I haven't done yet.

I guess I fucked up. I guess I was wrong.
I guess you wouldn't understand.
I don't regret a single moment.
And if I'm fucked up, so what if you're right?
Just try to understand,
that I only regret the things I haven't done.

Somewhere I Belong - Valencia

The dust is settling as I lie here.
It was a subtle hint of what went wrong.
I've been giving up, giving up,
on every plan I've made.
I'm finally waking up, but just a little too late.

My life has always been a dead end street,
with heavy eyes that shoot through me.
I slipped somewhere in between what's right and wrong.
And now I drown with every breath I take.
I'm sick of feeling like I can't escape.
I'll get out before I go insane, to somewhere I belong.
Somewhere I belong.

I don't know who I am or how I got here,
but I'm a subtle hint, the best forgotten.
You'll never know, never know what this boy could have been.
I guess I finally figured out.

My life has always been a dead end street,
with heavy eyes that shoot through me.
I slipped somewhere in between what's right and wrong.
And now I drown with every breath I take.
I'm sick of feeling like I can't escape.
I'll get out before I go insane, to somewhere I belong.
Somewhere I belong.

Struggling to find my feet,
but just in time to watch the sea wash away all memories of you.

Been giving up, giving up,
on every plan I've made.
Finally waking up, but a little too late.

My life has always been a dead end street,
with heavy eyes that shoot through me.
I slipped somewhere in between what's right and wrong.
And now I drown with every breath I take.
I'm sick of feeling like I can't escape.
I'll get out before I go insane, to somewhere I belong.
Somewhere I belong.

Days Go By - Valencia

I cannot be alone like this for too long.
I feel my walls caving,
and I can't begin to describe just what it takes
to get me through these days.
I feel my feet off the ground without you around.

I just can't let those days go by,
and there's just no peace of mind.
Without you, it's hard to find.
I know, I know, I lost it when I lost you.

I am always changing my face and changing my name.
I'm drinking eight cups a day. I'm always awake
'cause I am just a little insane, neurotic and mundane.
And now I'm strapped to this bed 'cause what's in my head.

I just can't let those days go by,
and there's just no peace of mind.
Without you, it's hard to find.
I know, I know, I lost it when I lost
your faith in my fucked up sense of pride.
There's no reason left to fight.
I know, I know, I lost it when I lost you.

Don't say sorry, please.
I'm going crazy for you.

Days go by,
and there's just no peace of mind.
Without you, it's hard to find.
I know, I know.

I just can't let those days go by,
and there's just no peace of mind.
Without you, it's hard to find.
I know, I know, I lost it when I lost you.
Don't change your mind,
'cause there's so much left in life.
Without you there is no I.
I know, I know I lost it when I lost you.
I lost it when I lost you, lost it when I lost you.

The Way - Valencia

It was over before you said,
"One step forward, three steps back."
I've been wasting time,
a few more years 'til I question life.
I struggled with answers for every question
to why I've poured myself into this hell.
'Cause all that I've died to save
has slipped right though your ears and into its grave.

If you only knew what I do,
you'd realize there's a curse that's upon you
and I can't stand the way, the way, the way you look at me.
The way, the way, the way, my best is never enough.

I'll tear down the wall that hides me from all of my alibis.
Show you what you loved, isn't it all you thought it was?
For every praise that's sung,
someone hates where it started from.
But what you do defines you.
'Cause all that I've died to save
has slipped right though your ears and into its grave.

If you only knew what I do,
you'd realize there's a curse that's upon you
and I can't stand the way, the way, the way you look at me.
The way, the way, the way, my best is never enough.

I've given my life, I've given my time.
I've given my everything to you.
So now I'm giving you up.
I'm finally getting it right.
I'm done with giving my everything to you.
My best is never enough.

If I'm made of glass, look at me
and see that my past told by the words I scream,
a true reflection, a promise ring.
No matter the pain I feel, something in me,
it's something real that guides me when I sing.

If you only knew what I do,
you'd realize there's a curse that's upon you
and I can't stand the way, the way, the way you look at me.
The way, the way, the way, my best is never enough.
My best is never enough. My best is never enough.
My best is never enough, never enough.

Stop Searching - Valencia

Lately I've been keeping an eye on you.
Don't know what you've been going through.
I can tell it's no good for you.
All I know is I've got to go
before things get out of control,
out of our hands, beyond repair.

Well, nothing is lost just because
it's not where it used to be.
Just stop searching, you could spend you whole life.
I can tell by your eyes that hope is fading fast,
when all you have to do is stop searching.
I understand people change,
but don't miss out on this chance.
You have to find yourself,
and that's exactly where you'll find me.

Did I speak too soon about the elephant in the room?
I'd survive with or without you, but what would that prove?
Wait, there's more, more than enough for the jury, I'm sure.
So state you case and give me the floor.
We may lose what we love.
It's not far away because,

nothing is lost just because
it's not where it used to be.
Just stop searching, you could spend you whole life.
I can tell by your eyes that hope is fading fast,
when all you have to do is stop searching.
I understand people change,
but don't miss out on this chance.
You have to find yourself,
and that's exactly where you'll find me.

Take what you need.
If you leave, then leave a little piece of me.

Just stop searching, you could spend you whole life.
I can tell by your eyes that hope is fading fast,
when all you have to do is stop searching.
I understand people change,
but don't miss out on this chance.
You have to find yourself,
and that's exactly where you'll find me.
Come find me. Stop searching.

Pieces - Valencia

There’s a sunny place in southern California where I can go
When I need a break from the world, you know
That times will get harder
But I’ll stay the same no matter the change

And when I arrive
I’ll throw down my bags on the floor and I
I’ll thank the world I’ve got these friends of mine
That sun that shines
These songs that get me high when I feel the need to sing

You gave up when you left me for the West
Does the coast and the ocean calm your stress?
Now you’re gone, you left me in pieces
You gave up when you lost the words to say
When you find them - come on back to me
Now you’re gone, you left me in pieces

I’ve got those friends of mine
That help me get through all the shitty times
I drink myself into these lullabies
That hide my eyes
But help me to believe I’m not as stupid as you think

Cause I show my pride
In the form of these black and blue covered eyes
A sign that my love’s to be realized
Simple to find
An easy way to hide yourself
You threw my back against the wall

You gave up when you left me for the West
Does the coast and the ocean calm your stress?
Now you’re gone, you left me in pieces
You gave up when you lost the words to say
When you find them - come on back to me
Now you’re gone, you left me in pieces

I think we’re stuck here in between
Misguided hearts that beat with apathy
Don’t tell me that we’ve gone this far
Without thinking of fate.

I think we’re stuck here in between
Misguided hearts that beat with apathy
Don’t tell me that we’ve gone this far
Without thinking of fate.
…you left me in pieces…

You gave up when you left me for the West
Does the coast and the ocean calm your stress?
Now you’re gone, you left me in pieces
You gave up when you lost the words to say
When you find them - come on back to me
Now you’re gone, you left me in pieces

I think we’re stuck here in between
Misguided hearts that beat with apathy
Don’t tell me that we’ve gone this far
Without thinking of fate.

I was down on my knees
You left me in pieces

Airwaves - Valencia

Your car door slams, as i get out and say
"I think we're stuck singing the same old songs over these airwaves"
When I grow up I'm gonna make a change
I'll be the ticket for us
I'll get us out of this rut and into better days

Break down, build up again
you know what I'm thinking
Change me or take me as I am
when I tell you I'm ready
Cause the need is in my blood,
like the air thats in your lungs,
so breath in deep and don't let go
and follow me down this road into better days

you and I, We're gonna make our peace
While you were wasting your days
chasing those pretty faces in the summer heat
I was open to pain
and i walked these streets
to find a ticket for us
to get us out of this rut and into better days
and into better days

EVERYBODY SING!

Break down, build up again
you know what I'm thinking
Change me or take me as I am
when I tell you I'm ready
Cause the need is in my blood,
like the air thats in your lungs,
so breath in deep and don't let go
and follow me down this road into better days

Woah woah
You know what I'm thinking
Woah woah

Break down, build up again
you know what I'm thinking
Change me or take me as I am
when I tell you I'm ready
Cause the need is in my blood,
like the air thats in your lungs,
so breath in deep and don't let go
and follow me down this road into better days
into better days

This time we're making a change!
