This Is Only A Dream - I Am The Pilot

Keep your composure.
This is only a dream.
And when you wake up
You’ll start to realize
That the world around you is dodging the same bullet as you.
Keep still, keep breathing.
Don’t stop believing in what you feel is right.
In what keeps you, keeps you alive tonight.

All we are
And all we need is the faith that is inside of us
And to know that we can see through this.
(Tonight the ground began to shake as we fell down to our knees.
But we keep moving on.)

So we will follow behind each other
As far as we can go until we’re left alone.
Whisper to ourselves just to let it all out
We were never even ready to sail the seven seals on our own, Oh no.

All we are
And all we need is the faith that is inside of us
And to know that we can see through this.
(Tonight the ground began to shake as we fell down to our knees.
But we keep moving on.)

We all
We all gather
We all
We all gather around.
To watch this crumble beneath our feet
As we’re stranded on the edges of our seats.

Hiding inside gray walls.
Waiting above it all.
Watching our future burn.
Knowing nowhere to turn

All we are
And all we need is the faith that is inside of us
And to know that we can see through this.
(Tonight the ground began to shake as we fell down to our knees.
But we keep moving on.)

Waiting Takes A Lifetime - I Am The Pilot

Hello perfect stranger. (Where have you been?)
I’m lost with the light in your eyes. (Light in your eyes)
I know that you’re the one to take this for granted.
Would you give yourself up and…

Follow me, (into the future now)
And let me show you, (something you won’t let go of)
A perfect reason to keep me waiting here for you.
There’s something about you I just can’t figure out.

I would never alter our design.
I’m trying to reconsider our lives.

It’s time to see that our real dreams
Are made of secrets we’ve been keeping

Follow me, (into the future now)
And let me show, (something you won’t let go of)
A perfect reason to keep me waiting here for you.
There’s something about you I just can’t figure out.

I know nothing about perfection,
But I am certain that I am the one.

These Machines - I Am The Pilot

Distinguishing the sounds of these machines
They drive me home tonight
And in these skies there's brandings
that see closure, so they can lay to rest.

This could be perfect like all the times I knew.

Just stay awake.
Stay awake for one more hour
So you know that I will have no regrets
for the things I didn't say to you.

Staring down an endless canvas and taken from
these sheets - we tried so hard, we tried so hard
But I cant hardly stand another minute of misconception
That things are some how better.
No breathe can last forever
We owe you this so show me how.

We can make this perfect
like all the times that I knew.

Just stay awake.
Stay awake for one more hour
So you know that I will have no regrets
for the things I didn't say to you.

So there's no regrets for the things I didn't say
Embrace the essence of what was lost.

Stay awake for one more hour.
(Stay awake for one more hour)
So you know that I will
(Stay awake why don't you) [x3]
have no regrets
for the things I didn't say to you.
(Stay awake why don't you stay awake for one more)
Stay awake for one more hour
Stay awake for one more hour
Stay awake for one more hour
Stay awake for one more

Crashing Into Consciousness - I Am The Pilot

You come alone
But your not the only one
To run and hide from the answers
Don't be afraid to say the names
Of the choices you've made

But I feel you wide awake
I feel we might not make it
Here's a toast to whats to come

Tell me is she worth it all
To kill the person that you are
Time to replace every motion we know
[x2]

You made a mess of the situation
The bottom line your the cause of complication
Don't be surprised because you're the one who ignited these

lies
Am I standing in your way?
From the doors that will defy us
Here's a toast to whats to come


Tell me is she worth it all
To kill the person that you are
Time to replace every motion we know
[x2]

This fight isn't over until I say so [x2]

Tell me is she worth it all
To kill the person that you are
Time to replace every motion we know
[x2]

Warriors - I Am The Pilot

Just close your eyes
And imagine how we could survive inside these lies
The role she plays to try
And hide the corrupted life she helped create
Marks are left
There’s no surprise with the pills she hides
She can’t deny the pillow talk that she has made me listen to her plea
Deep inside she’ll realize she can’t
She cant hold on
In your mind you’re the cause of there demise
She screams out loud
He holds on tight
Turn around and run away
Your life is on the line again
Save your self one last time
Don’t make a sound
He just arrived back to his home
He steps inside
Bottle in hand he feels invincible
It’s a matter of time to cross the line
Feel the chaos rage inside
He’s out of blood and won't return till he is satisfied
with the ending to her life
Deep inside he’ll realize he can’t
He can’t hold on
In your mind you’re the cause of their demise
She screams out loud
He holds on tight
Turn around and run away
Your life is on the line again
Save your self one last time

Rescue - I Am The Pilot

This time my habits are laid to rest.
I can’t keep these secrets to myself.
My lips have been sealed tight for so long.
Here we are now face to face again
And my guilt is starting to set in.
But there’s something keeping me from letting my words flow.
I’m desperate for inspiration.
Excuses are long gone.

Rescue me from what I’ve become
Because I’m too far along to give this up on my own.

Temptation is in full effect.
I’m torn but I haven’t caved in yet,
To the problems I’ll create from letting my guard down.
I’m done with living in regret
And my past is starting to reflect.
This cycle will continue for to long.

I’m as shallow as they come
With my self on my mind.
I indulge in the finer things of life.
But my ego’s to strung out.
There’s no self to absorb.
And I’m finding out the hard way there’s more of me to explore.

Rescue me from what I’ve become
Because I’m too far along to give this up on my own.
Change the way I deal with out my self-control,
There is no doubt
I can give this up on my own.

It’s happening.
I’m dying to be reborn.
Rescue me.
(Rescue me from what I’ve become)

Rescue me from what I’ve become
Because I’m too far along to give this up on my own. (Give this up)
Change the way I deal with out my self-control,
There is no doubt I can give this up on my own.

A Lesson Learned - I Am The Pilot

There’s a rise and fall
There is a change in the atmosphere.
This has been more complicated than we’ve imagined
Write this down in letters
Send them far from here
You can count the miles but it won’t hid how close they feel

Let it go
The worst is over (Yeah, its over)
You’re moving way to fast. (Yeah, moving way to fast)

Confidence runs through your fingertips
You’ve never felt so alive
Addressed for the occasion
If gravity takes its toll you will never know what it’s like to forget him
So stand tall

Let it go
The worst is over (Yeah, its over)
You’re moving way to fast (Yeah, moving way to fast)
For all we know the worst is over
Let it go
The worst is over (Yeah, its over)
You’re moving way to fast (Yeah, moving way to fast)
For all we know the worst is over
Let’s put this in the past (Yeah, put this in the past)
Did you think that this would last?
This changes everything we know (Let it go)

Gone Too Far - I Am The Pilot

I’m drawn to trouble
A back door lust for her
I know it’s wrong
But I’m doing it again
My pulse is racing
My mind is chasing thoughts of the after taste of what makes me fiend for more

I’ve gone too far
And I’ll do it again
(Just for a taste of anything that’s laced with innocence)
I’ve gone too far

The morning after the damage is done for now
But I know it will come back and take me again

I’m tangled in
I’m tangled in her moves as my conscience takes the back seat to my hands that can’t refrain

I’ve gone too far
And I’ll do it again
(Just for the taste of anything that’s laced with innocence)
I’ve gone too far

I must confess that there’s nowhere left for me to go
So I’ll dive right in again
Its dark enough in here so don’t turn on the lights
Because I don’t want to appear
I’ll dive right in again
