• Titel: House of Cards
• Album: From them, through us, to you
• Jaar: 2007

Songtekst:

It's late at night the worlds asleep
And I'm trying not to think
I take some pills cause my mind bleeds
I'm thinking what is wrong with me
Because the only thing I know about honesty
Is every lie I told that you believed

I'm afraid, to be alone
I'm afraid, that one day you'll find out

And you'll be amazed
At the secrets I keep
You'll be amazed
At my mouth full of lies
I'm too afraid to come clean
My life's still free in the house of cards

Now I can't look you in your eyes
Because the guilt is killing me
I try disconnect my heart again
Just so I can breathe
I wanna be myself again
But I just can't cause

I'm afraid, to be alone
I'm afraid, that one day you'll find out

And you'll be amazed
At the secrets I keep
You'll be amazed
At my mouth full of lies
I'm too afraid to come clean
My life's still free in the house of cards

It's such a shame what I've become
After years of breaking down
My whole life has come undone
Cause I'm trying to fake it all
And I know that you love someone
But that someone isn't me
Isn't me, no

And you'll be amazed
At the secrets I keep
You'll be amazed
At my mouth full of lies
I'm too afraid to come clean
My life's still free in the house of cards
You'll be amazed

• Titel: Here I Stand
• Album: From them, through us, to you
• Jaar: 2007

Songtekst:

My hands shake cause today,
I know you're gonna break my heart and,
My life without you in it
Is a life thats not worth living.
I'll be strong but I wish I was someone else,
Anyone but me tonight.

Here I stand, all alone,tonight
And I wish I was strong enough to breathe
Without you, in my life,
I wish I was anyone but me.

So I'll start to pretend I'm ok
But you should know by now that
My life is smoke and mirrors,
The one thing is crystal clear
That I'm the one wishing I was someone else,
Anyone but me tonight.

Here I stand (here I stand)
All alone, (here I stand)
Tonight (here I stand)
And I wish I was strong enough to breathe (here I stand)
Without you, (here I stand)
In my life, (here I stand)
I wish I was anyone but me.

(Where do we go?) (Where do we go?)

Inside I start to fall apart. (Where do we go?)
And I'll pretend I'm holding on (Where do we go?)
So I guess I'll bleed in silence.(In silence)
I guess I'll bleed in silence.

Here I stand (here I stand)
All alone, (here I stand)
Tnight (here I stand)
And I wish I was strong enough to breathe (here I stand)
Without you, (here I stand)
In my life, (here I stand)
I wish I was anyone but me.

Here I stand (here I stand)
All alone, (here I stand)
Tonight (here I stand)
And I wish I was strong enough to breathe (here I stand)
Without you, (here I stand)
In my life, (here I stand)
I wish I was anyone but me.

• Titel: Now Or Never
• Album: From them, through us, to you
• Jaar: 2008

Songtekst:

Too long in the same place
I'm sinking into this town.
I've charmed the same old snakes
I think we gotta get out
Before I break away from me
Cuz this place is my lobotomy.
Imagine we were dead
Counting all the things we never did.

I remember when you told me
I should live like I'm dying
And not to close my eyes
While everything burns.

What are we waiting for?
These years are dying slowly,
Today is still in front of us
And we're breaking out
Cuz today is now or never.

I can't contemplate the earth
All while my heads in the sand
Cuz I've been buried alive
So take my bleeding hands
And breathe life into me
Cuz right now I'm suffocating.
So imagine we were dead
Counting all the things we never did.

I remember when you told me
I should live like I'm dying
And not to close my eyes while
Everything burns.

What are we waiting for?
These years are dying slowly,
Today is still in front of us
And we're breaking out
Cuz today is now or never.

I don't want a life of agony
I wont be another tragedy
And close my eyes while everything burns.
And I won't pretend I don't exist
Invisible until I turn to dust,
Open your eyes we're still alive.

Standing still is criminal
And never lasts forever.
The safest place in life is now,
Today's the day we're breaking out..

I remember when you told me
I should live like I'm dying
And not to close my eyes
While everything burns.

What are we waiting for?
These years are dying slowly,
Today is still in front of us
And we're breaking out
Cuz today is now or never
