Heart Attack 03:45
It's much too good to last. You're far too good to wait. This time, I think I'll pass. Get past the masquerade. It's you with your face in the crowd. It's you who's stabbed in the back. Nothing new, You're a Heart Attack. Nothing new. There's no way back, No way back. Everyone's high class. It's nothing new, They're here to over act. The highest crime to know that you've been had. Wasted time, a life spent chasing fads. It's you with your face in the crowd. It's you who's stabbed in the back. Nothing new, You're a Heart Attack. Nothing new. There's no way back, No way back

Photograph 03:21
PHOTOGRAPH [ b e l l s I n t r o ] You could be around, You couldn’t be real! You could be weather-battled better With every deal. You could be a rock. You couldn't beat steel. You hold your: status, handout, head-up. Are you for real? Photograph. They like your Photograph. It's like you feel. You feel. Vs2. We own this town. So we can chase tail! You couldn’t be real? ___________brk. Fill the crack. It's like you sewed it up. …and you would feel! Feel! Feel! …at night you’re fine. Photograph. It’s like your Photograph. It’s like you feel. It’s like you feel. You feel appeal. Vs3. Bring to light. What you study now. If you were real! Real! Real! It’s GOOD to be alive! Your Photograph. It’s like your Photograph. It’s like you feel. You feel appeal.

lyrics Open Fire, The breach is blown. Tell your Captain I'm going home. Your whole life in a magazine, No one here can clearly see. Half of the Past, we'll never need. We make it last. We'll make it bleed. Blacken my eyes from your second-hand smoke. Taking our lives from the cutting room floor. This is our show. What feeds the body, frees the soul. Now I'm starving, lost control. Breaking the back with you're life at full speed. Take off the mask for the world to see. Half of the Past, we'll never need. We make it last. We'll make it bleed. You can survive on the second hand smoke. Taking our lives from the cutting room floor. This is our show. Come out and see. Half of the Past, we'll never need. We make it last. We'll make it bleed. Just one more time for your second hand smoke. Taking our lives from the cutting room floor. This is our show.

Downtown 05:09
"Downtown” ©2012 B. Boyer Underground Mass Media Music (BMI) [lyrics] Break, I could hardly break Through these walls you’ve made Shift and shapes don’t make things better. Say, every time you say, It’s always the same way – And now you’re bitter. And your green eyes seem to say that you could wear me out. But you softly slide away when we are Downtown. Downtown Make. Make those things you say, make them go away. In your eyes you seem to promise. See, you could be like me, drink too much to see now I'm honest. And your green eyes seem to say that you could wear me out. But you softly slide away when we are Downtown. Are we here to play your games? Is that what you're about? And you slowly slide away when we are Downtown. Here we are, we're the youth. Here we are with the truth. in you. in you.

Open your mouth, nothing comes out. Your eyes could tell the story. Three blocks away, the place where you stay…. You tell me, then, you show me. It's too late to turn back now. We've all had our ups and downs. The ghost inside your house … will never come back.. You hope and pray, there'll be a day, you lead your life less boring. Take what you've found, with out making a sound, I'll keep you safe till morning. It's too late to turn back now. You know I won't let you down. The ghost inside your house………..will never come back..

Deep Down in your room, ...been locked to your own. into, into, into, your, hollow hole. Into, your own, Division. Into Life we're thrown, Funny Response, I was just your, First on the run. In ruin……… Into Illusion. You took control of Pride for awhile, You'll trade your heart for denial. I need you to ask… Why you're so cold? There was one fine clue. You could, you could, be so. Free Flow. You'd ask him: “Where for Love would you go?” Hey La! Hey La! Your Soul ! Why you're so cold? Into your own Division. ---------------------- ©2009,2012 Bradley Scott Boyer. ®Underground Mass Media Music (BMI) All Rights Reserved.

Submission 03:53
"Submission" 3:48 Music & Lyrics: Bradley Boyer (INTRO) (Vs. 1) They say desire stars with the eyes, I swear, It's true. I have been known to once or twice, give in, too soon. (Chorus) You make me, into a ball, you throw me, I'll hit the wall for you. That's so true. So show me, take what you want. So slowly, making it all come true. Just for you. (vs.2) Take my heart we’ll trade this time, I fall, for you. Surrounded by a touch divine, I give, to you. (Chorus) You make me into a ball, throw me, I'll hit the wall for you. So save me with elegant font. My lady, I'll do it all for you, Just for you. So show me, take what you want. So slowly, making it all come true. Just for you. (Bridge) You're so bad, I'm so into that. You're so bad, you are, you.. are... They say desire starts the eyes, I swear, it was true.

Gasoline 03:44
“GASOLINE” 3:43 INTRO: A B C# B (x4) D F# A D (x3) You’re tank of gas is running out. You tip the bottle to your mouth. Woah woah Through the haze you can see.

Fallen Star 03:15
I couldn't let your days turn weeks to months. Weathered in your rain slowly to a flood. .....to a flood. Imagine all the stars, falling by one by one. I could be one? Finally i feel so good I'm crushed. ha. Running faster than I ever could. Ever could. and into the stormy night it's loose my breath, bite my tongue. this sure feels fun. You're so pretty, when your down, In love with the city, never coming down. We watch the passing cars and count the friends we've found. but I'll be around. Now your city turns to a town You could be so pretty, with all your friends around, Imagine all the stars, crashing to the ground,. I'll be around.

. Kidding Myself . There's nothing we want more, than our passion underscored 'cause we need it . An actress from New York, and all the love adored, every weekend. There’s no doubt, I’m Kidding Myself … and I just found out. You wrote the songs I played along by your side. not afraid . . .. afraid. Two Hearts so strong, one could be wrong, and you're right! not afraid, . ...afraid. Dear actress from New York, and all those you’ve implored, by your sweetness. What do we run for? Oh. the boy next door... so you see him. There’s no doubt. I’m Kidding Myself … and I just found out. You wrote the songs I played along by your side. not afraid, afraid. Two Hearts so strong, One could wrong, and you’re right.. Right? not afraid, afraid. Each time you fall, I’m wise to call it a lie. Right? We’ve come and gone, I’ve loved you longer in life.

Let me show you what makes me better. Old Photographs, me and you, Fake Hello's and "How are you's" Take off our masks. No more hide and seek. Turn off my phone. Say this tactfully. Say this tactfully. I want you to know! I need your breathe you. I want you to know! I hate that I love you. and Baby please don't go. Let's take it slow. I want you to know, I need you. Let me show you what makes me better. Fill the cracks with memories. Write them down to melodies. Put on our masks. Time for Hide and Seek. Turn on my phone. Say this tactfully. Say it again, and again, and again, and again. I want you to know! I need you, breathe you. I want you to know! I hate that I love you. and Baby please don't go, let's take it slow. I want you to know, I need you so. .

Every time I think of you I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue It's no problem of mine it's a problem I find Living a life that I can't leave behind But there's no sense in telling me The wisdom of the fool won't set you free that's the way that it goes And what nobody knows every day my confusion grows Every time I see you falling I get down on my knees and pray I'm waiting for that final moment You say the words that I can't say I feel fine and I feel good I'm feeling like I never should Whenever I get this way I just don't know what to say Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday I'm not sure what this could mean I don't think you're what you seem I do admit to myself That if I hurt someone else Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be. Every time I see you falling I get down on my knees and pray I'm waiting for that final moment You say the words that I can't say [ b r i d g e ] Every time I see you falling I get down on my knees and pray I'm waiting for that final moment You say the words that I can't say I can't say.
