Don't You Cry
Verse - Capturing the moment. I won't let it go. Can't break the bond between us. Our future has to grow. Those words still haunt my dreams now. Can't shake it out of my head. I hold you while I scream out. Try to remember what you said.
Chorus - Don't you cry. Cause the things that make me live are the reason that I fly. I reach for you, with my arms they're open wide, but there's nothing I can do. But I'll never stop loving you.
Verse - Thinking back to all the old days, there isn't much you can recall. You'd hold me in the sky forever, but you'd never let me fall. You installed a pride within me. I'll never let that go. A seance of humour, deep within me. But there's something you should know.
Chorus - Don't you cry. Cause the things that make me live are the reason that I fly. I reach for you, with my arms they're open wide, but there's nothing I can do. There'll come a day, when we look into your eyes and your memory's gone astray. Will we see the man, who gave us everything we have, who stood so strong and true? But we're nothing without you...without you.

Gone
Verse - How will we know the score, if we don't watch the game? There's so many truths I'm told but they're all the same. Captured in a frame. Constructing a feeble life. Going by the book, I'll take a second look. There's nothing besides my own stinking frame of mind. Can be cast aside.
Bridge - Live it up now. But don't cross the streams. The rage that's inside you, is never quite as it seems.
Chorus - In the end the truth will show, no more silly games. You'll flood all plains your spirit's flown. Cast aside the ruin of your growing innocence. Retract the loss and let it go....go....go.
Verse - Ignite the chords of your melody. Sing it like it's meant to be. You've reached a point, there's no other dance. Rekindle your romance. Destruct all the people that sing it out of tune. They're howling at the moon. Respect all the wrongs you made in your life, but don't you lose your drive.
Bridge - Listen up now, but don't cross the streams. The rage that's inside you, is never quite as it seems.
Chorus - Let's pretend the roots of your growing family, won't take on traits that you've past on. See the light and let them know, that it's hard to beat. Just grab our hand before it's gone...gone....gone.

Blu
Verse - Breaking down these walls again. Hoping you'd let me in. Feeling so wronged my friend. You turned your back on me. I feel I can do nothing right. It's clearly plain to see. Your playing my emotions again. Now wouldn't you agree?
Chorus - I don't deserve this, I have to say. Your words keep bringing me down. I can't control the way I was played. You killed my smile now I'm blu.
Verse - Created an emotional train, I want off at the next stop. Your creeping making me insane. You think your the cream of the crop. Well dream on, I got my own wings. I'm ready to take flight. I'm thinking you'd better go your own way. You can't see me anymore.
Chorus - You fought the battle, I won the war. You'll never see me cry. I'll wear my scars all around my heart. You'll never make me blu.

Come Alive
Verse - Staring out the window at the snow. Thinking of the people that I know. Can I count the demons on one hand? I bet most of these I still call friends.
Chorus - Come alive...come alive. You'll never take me by surprise.
Verse - Starting off I'm wondering where to go. Driving down the cemetery side road. Will we have the marquee over head? Will we capture the demons with what we said?
Chorus - Come alive...come alive. You'll never take me by surprise.
Bridge - Everywhere I turn I see them flying. Everywhere I turn I see them walking around. Is this a sign I need to go with the flow? It's time to lead and keep on walking with crows. Walking with crows.
Verse - Can not comprehend what lies beyond. Shooting with the stars across the pond. An ocean of dreams from my homestead. Ottawa's the place I lay my head.
Chorus - Come alive...come alive. You'll never take me by surprise.
Verse - Thank you for being there for me. I won't let you down, you wait and see. I promise promises and hope they turn to dust. The constellation expression has turned to rust.
Chorus - Come alive...come alive. You'll never take me by surprise.

Those Were The Days
Verse - This is an ode to my first friend. You carried me round in your dolly's pram. Like I was yours and no one else's. Yeah I was your little dream. You tucked me into our cold bed at night. We'd giggle out loud 'til daddy'd throw us out. When I'd get hurt you'd always wipe my tears. I could always depend on you.
Chorus - It's crazy we've changed but we're still the same. We got kids of our own. Our candle burns the same flame. I can always come back to the time when it was just you and me there, without a care.
Verse - We went through it all, now that's the truth. In our troubled land but we were bulletproof. The youngest of eight we always broke the rules. It seems like it was yesterday. Roaming the road with not a care in the world. Wearing our bro's coats and thinking we were the best. Put your uniform on pretending to be you. Well the pictures, they say it all.

Risking It All
Verse - Getting back to the top. Never know which way life is woven. Trying hard not to stop. I'm considering digging this grave on my own. The attempt's there to rise. Always reaching for what lies ahead. I won't compromise. I'll be reaching for that brass ring.
Bridge - I'm risking it all. To capture the moment I fell. This big free-for-all. Just wanting to be wanted by you.
Chorus - The conquering rebels that fell. Was it something they knew? Gripping a concept that's dead. But then the crows flew. They flew.
Verse - I'm so out of touch. Attempting to wipe the slate clean. Trying to champion the cause, even though I don't know what I'm doing. I'll get in my car and travel the roads the roads that were given to me. I'll stop by the bar. I'll drink one for you and for me.
Bridge - I'm risking it all, to capture the moment I fell. This big free for all. Just wanting to be wanted by you.
Chorus - The conquering rebels that fell. Was it something they knew? Gripping a concept that's dead. But then the crows flew. They flew.
