Verse 1
Well I’m frightened by, the beginning
Frightened by all that they’ve done
I don’t care about their sinning
For all that they’ve claimed they have won
For all that they’ve seen now they’re one
Chorus
Forever I’m waiting, forever I’ve stood here, forever I thought that my mind was gone
Verse 2
Well I’m just hiding behind the lightning
All I see is the things that I’ve done
Initially, I’ve bent darkness and holding it down
What have I become? What have I become?
Chorus
Forever I’m waiting, forever I’ve stood here, forever I thought that my mind was gone
Trying my best year, doing what I do, I feel like my heart is gone, how do we do what we do, how do we do what we do
SOLO
Verse 3
Well I’m shifting into overdrive
And I’m lifting my soul, High, High, High
Speak for myself, speaking of what I’ve done here, speaking of what I’ve seen, all in me and all I feel is empty
What have I become here?
Chorus
Forever I’m waiting, forever I’ve stood here, forever I thought that my mind was gone
Trying my best year, doing what I do, I feel like my heart is gone, how do we do what we do, how do we do what we do, how do we do what we do, how do we do what we do.

Verse 1
Packed my bags, collect my thoughts, I think about the thoughts I want but never thought
I think of things, that I forgot, but did I forget about how I’ve drawn myself or what I’ve torn apart?
CHORUS
Here I stand, Torn Apart,
Feel My Hands, Break Apart,
Here I Stand
Verse 2
Find the tune, of your caller
Speak the truth, no one cares
Time will tell, your Soul Advisor,
speak the lines that you see, all in your mind and in your dreams
Chorus
Here I Stand, Torn Apart
Feel My hands, Break apart
Here I Stand .....Torn apart , see the light the leads me up against the dark
Verse 3
Packed my bags again,
I’m “ On the Road”
I never thought that things that I was told when I was such a child
It makes me Wild
To think these thoughts, torn me apart, as children make me feel like I could fall apart
Well, I look inside this scene, seeing everything I’ve seen, feeling my head is getting red and caving in so fast I can not feel it, Round. Look at my head it’s spinning, round, look at my face it’s spinning, round
Look at my hair, it’s changing, everybody’s looking at my face.....
Solo
Chorus
Here I Stand, Torn Apart
Feel My hands, Break apart
Here I Stand
Verse 4
Packed my last bag, packed all my things. Last time these thoughts, I always think.
A year ago, breaking the pact
when I was younger than I had in myself, in my mind, that I would see the light. All they see, that others think about the things inside the dreams that they have seen.
There I go, breaking the pact
One last time, to have these thought s that I once had.

Verse 1
To speak the truth, to find your mind
This selfish test, the test of times
Unstemmed Justice of which they claim
Their Test of times, are testing my mind.
We cry, we cry, so so Lone,
We cry, we cry, so so lone
Verse 2
To speak the truth from all I know
The selfish fears in which I behold
“Calm down, calm down rest your mind tonight”
My fear is the fight will come home
And seek my children’s eyes
So lone, so lone, they claim
So lone, so lone, they shake
We cry, we cry, so so lone
We cry, we cry, so so lone
SOLO
“Calm down, Calm down, rest your mind tonight”
My fear is the fight will come home and seek my children’s eyes
So lone, so lone, they claim
So lone, so lone, they shake
We cry, we cry, so so lone
We cry, we cry, so so lone
Verse 3
I’m speaking the truth just a find another sunny day
I’m speaking the truth just find another perfect day
I’m speaking the truth just holding to some more time, selfish mind, selfish crimes, never living another way again
I Speak the truth just a find another Loveline,
I speak the truth just to find a little, just tonight
I speak to live and just to live another silver line another silver line so so lone
We cry we cry so so lone, we cry we cry so Soul Lone

You’ve got to find it, what you you’re searching for, you might rewind it, what you’re searching for. You’ve got to find it, what you’re searching for you might rewind it what you were searching for
Verse1
I’ve come to find it, looking towards the back of me
I’ll never take a seat, never take a seat
I’ve come to look again, looking for a friend, never take a seat, come search with me
Chorus
Come to find a friend, never in the end, never in the end, going to rewind again, come to find a friend, find it in the end, rewind again
Pre Chorus
You can find it, what you’re searching for, you might rewind it, what you’re searching for, you can find it, what you’re searching for, you might rewind it, what you’re searching for
Verse 2
I’ve come to find it, look another way, never take a seat, come look at me
She comes to find me, we look and then we greet
Never take a seat, come with me
Chorus
Come to find a friend, never in the end, never in the end going to rewind again, come to find a friend, find it in the end, rewind again
Rewind time one last line,
It’s clearly not for us, holding my hand in trust,
Rewind time one last line
It’s clearly not for us, holding my hand in trust
Come find me, rewind me, define me, I can never see again
Come find me, rewind me, define me, show me that I’ll see in the end.
