Prohibition (Acoustic)

Two twin girls run through the halls
The walls are closing in
Act natural, act natural
No crawling of the skin
The screams are in the distance
But their hearts are pounding loud
Up the stairs, down the stairs
You're not in Kansas now
How to solve your problems using alcohol
(Run run run run run run run run)
How to solve your problems using alcohol
(Run run run run run run run run)
How to solve your problems using alcohol
(Run run run run run run run run)
How to solve your problems using alcohol, alcohol
(Run run run run run run run run)
Out into the courtyard
In the moonlight they are exposed
Don't forget to step lightly
Stay calm and composed
Find the secret ballroom
Safe, silent and empty
Under the chandelier
Whisper how things should be
How to solve your problems using alcohol
(Run run run run run run run run)
How to solve your problems using alcohol
(Run run run run run run run run)
How to solve your problems using alcohol
(Run run run run run run run run)
How to solve your problems using alcohol, alcohol
(Run run run run run run run run)
Keep walking, keep walking
Little twins, no talking
Start running, start running
Who do you think is coming?
Keep walking, keep walking
Little twins, no talking
Start running, start running
Who do you think is coming?
Who do you think is coming?

He looks in the mirror, nothing is clear
Where's he taking it from here?
Goes his mind. Dead or alive inside fluorescent lights
Open his hand, hand on the desk
Desk in the corner, three stories at best
The locks are turning, doors in the hall
There's no way out
Oh, oh, going nowhere anywhere
(Nowhere anywhere)
Oh, oh, going nowhere anywhere
(Nowhere anywhere)
I have a hard time wanting to help, I think of myself
Leave the glass upon the shelf
Don't open the door no matter who for
But should I see his face before he goes? I'll never know
Just what what what was wrong
Not listening, not sinking in, we're two brick walls
Oh, oh, going nowhere anywhere
(Nowhere anywhere)
Oh, oh, going nowhere anywhere
(Nowhere anywhere)
Oh, what do you want?
(Nowhere anywhere)
I've got a funny feeling you don't even know
Don't know, don't know, you don't know
No, you don't know, don't know
But now you say you're feeling fine
Oh, oh, going nowhere anywhere
(Nowhere anywhere)
Oh, oh, going nowhere anywhere
(Nowhere anywhere)
Oh, nowhere anywhere
(Nowhere anywhere)
Oh, nowhere anywhere

A Moment (Acoustic)

You breeze right past it at every turn
Pulled back elastic, you never learn
But it's right there in your face
You wonder why all the bridges burn
The blame decided, but is it earned?
Or did you just lose your way?
When you take the time
Take a moment to find their eyes
It goes way, way down
A connection you recognize
It may be mischief, it may be pain
The purest love or the deepest hate
The answer clear as the sun
We know it's true what they always say
Then we ignore it and look away
Into a future that's dark
When you take the time
Take a moment to find their eyes
It goes way, way down
A connection you recognize
When you take the time
Take a moment to find their eyes
It goes way, way down
A connection you recognize
When you take the time
Take a moment to find their eyes
It goes way, way down
A connection you recognize

Get ready to tear it apart
Get ready to jump ahead and read the end before you start
You hope these words are the key
To your own personal mystery
Don't get your hopes up
Don't, don't, hopes up
Get your don't hope get your hopes up
It'll hurt worse on the way down
Don't get your hopes up
Don't, don't, hopes up
Get your don't hope get your hopes up
It'll hurt worse on the way down down, down down down
You want me to bare my soul
You want my skin peeled off, exposing all my insides to the cold
I'll keep my gold armor on
Sword shining by my side, yeah, all along
Don't get your hopes up
Don't, don't, hopes up
Get your don't hope get your hopes up
It'll hurt worse on the way down
Don't get your hopes up
Don't, don't, hopes up
Get your don't hope get your hopes up
It'll hurt worse on the way down down, down down down
Everybody said that it was time for me to move ahead
Keep the armor on, it isn't wrong, protect myself instead
Oh oh, and they were right
Now I sleep through the night
Now, now now now now now
I sleep through the, sleep through the night
Don't get your hopes up
Don't, don't, hopes up
Get your don't hope get your hopes up
It'll hurt worse on the way down
Don't get your hopes up
Don't, don't, hopes up
Get your don't hope get your hopes up
It'll hurt worse on the way down down, down down down

The Walls (Acoustic)
03:37

They are ordinary, nondescript walls
Plain people, calm and quiet
Ordinary till the tide turns
Voices get sharp, start to rise
Eyes frenzied, don't know what to do
Or who they should look up to
They're divided by an invisible line
It's time to pick a side now
And we all tear the walls down
Oh, what did you expect?
Yeah, we're human, no regrets, oh oh
And we all tear the walls down
Oh, what did you expect?
Yeah, we're human, no regrets
Sharp objects hidden in their clothes
Planning out an overthrow
Figure which way the mob will go
Paranoia is highly contagious so
Please cover your mouth and nose
Fearful leader knows it's just a matter of time
Before he's out to dry
And we all tear the walls down
Oh, what did you expect?
Yeah, we're human, no regrets, oh oh
And we all tear the walls down
Oh, what did you expect?
Yeah, we're human, no regrets
We've got no direction, we've got no respect
Each interjection as loud as the next
How can we know which way to go
Or are we all alone?
And we all tear the walls down
Oh, what did you expect?
Yeah, we're human, no regrets, oh oh
And we all tear the walls down
Oh, what did you expect?
Yeah, we're human, no regrets

January Shock (Acoustic)
04:40

Why should I put in my time? Cross my Ts, dot my Is
Paying dues is the stuff of fairy tales
See the world through apathetic eyes
Love is useless when I die
Why does it matter if I fail?
A cigarette burns in my chest
Breathe so deep, no need to keep my lungs intact
Right on track
You tied your heart to a string
You did all these silly things and yet
The sun will rise again
It happens oh oh over and oh oh over 'cause it's not the end
Yeah the sun will rise again
And you're standing on the edge of the rocks
January shock
Too stunned to talk
Are you terrified now? Gotta make it work somehow
You blew it all in the last seven years
Thought you were safe, you knew your fate
Took it all, put it down on seventeen
You tied your heart to a string
Told yourself these silly things and yet
The sun will rise again
It happens oh oh over and oh oh over 'cause it's not the end
Yeah the sun will rise again
And you're standing on the edge of the rocks
So whatcha gonna do?
You called it quits too soon, oh
Instead of burning out
You're gonna fade away, not sorry now
And yes the sun will rise again
It happens oh oh over and oh oh over 'cause it's not the end
Yeah the sun will rise again
And you're standing on the edge of the rocks
January shock
January shock
January shock
January shock

Ugly Side (Acoustic)
03:26

One moment of peace while you are not here
Breathe free again until you reappear
Smothering all, all of us drown
Garbage in tow, oh oh oh
You're a virus in my head
You're a virus and you spread
All over everything
I can't shake shake shake, I can't shake
You might not see it's my ugly side
I may wear a smile, but you can hear that I
Speak with an edge, words getting sharp
Poison that spreads, oh oh oh
Where is my shield?
Where is my forcefield
When I need it most?
When I need it most?
You're a virus in my head
You're a virus and you spread
All over everything
All over everything
You're a virus in my head
You're a virus and you spread
All over everything
I can't shake shake shake, I can't shake
You are always there, everywhere I wanna be
Your shadow all that I see
Closing my eyes makes me kinda nervous
You're nearby, oh I can feel it
I will not succumb to whatever it is you're trying to make of me
You're a virus in my head
You're a virus and you spread
All over everything
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
You're a virus in my head
You're a virus and you spread
All over everything
I can't shake shake shake, I can't shake

One to One (Acoustic)

You, you take it all away from me
You, you, you take it all away
One, two, three, there it goes, filling in the potholes
Smooth out the road so I know how to find my way back home
And you, you take it all away from me
Say whatever you want to say
It's always one to one in this game
Say whatever you want to say
It's always one to one in this game
You, you put it all, all on me
You, you, you, you, you pile it all on top of me
And suddenly I can't breathe, turn on the lights but I can't see
What do you want from me? What do you want from me now?
And you, you pile it all on top of me
Say whatever you want to say
It's always one to one in this game
Say whatever you want to say
It's always one to one in this game
Say whatever you want to say
It's always one to one in this game
