01. THE RESISTENCE 3:16

Christian · Milligan · AnberlinYou want to watch us break · Be the first to (take) us down · But your teeth are worn · And there’s no stopping us now · Got to be mental

Your speeches sound malingered · Take down this molotov of words · Penned with you in mind · Speak for yourself · You paper tigers · You’llcrash where you stand · You’ve got a riot on your hands · Too late to meet demands · When you’ve got a riot on your hands · Silent alarms are

ringing · Sounds of revolt draw near · A new united front · That you will come to fear · We will hold together · To become the change · Voice forthe voiceless · With every common man engaged · Speak for yourself · You paper tigers · You will crash where you stand · You’ve got a riot onyour hands · Too late to meet demands · When you’ve got a riot on your hands · Ignite and watch us burn · Until every embers turned · Mankindwill feel inspired · When we set your walls to fire · Speak for yourself · You paper tigers · You’ll crash where you stand · You’ve got a riot on your

hands · Too late to meet demands · When you’ve got a riot on your hands · Speak for yourself

02. BREAKING 3:26

Christian · Milligan · Walker · AnberlinDo you memorize theatrical lines · That seem to lead them in · Play the role with a good girl heart · Hide the tangled webs within · Who was itthat lead you on · That makes you want to hurt me so · Who do you want to forget · Who forgot you long ago · Do you still feel him · Calling inthe air tonight · Do you still feel it · Seems like you have done this before · You make breaking hearts look so easy · Seems like you have done

this before · You’ve got breaking hearts all but down · Have you done this you’ve done this before · You make stealing hearts look so easySeems like you’ve done this before · You’ve got breaking up all but down · And I can’t love a thief anymore · Do you collect the souls you’ve lost· In the top of your dresser drawer · Count the number of tears displaced · In lonely bedroom floors · A machine where your heart once was

Slowly takes the place of you · Only hold the memories now · Of a love I thought I knew · Do you still feel him · Calling in the air tonight · Do youstill feel it · Seems like you have done this before · You make breaking hearts look so easy · Seems like you have done this before · You’ve got

breaking hearts all but down · Have you done this you’ve done this before · You make stealing hearts look so easy · Seems like you’ve done thisbefore · You’ve got breaking up all but down · And I can’t love a thief anymore · You make breaking hearts look so easy · Seems like you have

done this before · You’ve got breaking hearts all but down · Have you done this you’ve done this before · The best you could hope to beIs now just a bitter sweet symphony · And now you make breaking hearts look so easy

03. BLAME ME! BLAME ME! 3:09

Christian · McAlhaney · Milligan · AnberlinAnd we could ride all night · To the pace of the blinking light · Wishing traffic was faster · Keep safe distance but courting disaster · And wecould dance all night · To the sounds of a starting fight · Hoping change would come around · Amazing division how sweet the sound · Blameme · For mistakes you make but you can’t own · Hate me · For every honest word that you have postponed · Leave me out of this your life’s a

sinking ship · Blame me for the mistakes that you can’t own · And we could stare all day · At problems that wont go away · Silence is poundingYour wearing me down · These corners there rounding · Then we could scream all night · With no resolve still left in sight · Say sorry, yet I

despise · There’s no apology behind those eyes · Blame me · For mistakes you make but you can’t own · Hate me · For every honest word thatyou have postponed · Leave me out of this your life’s a sinking ship · Blame me for the mistakes that you can’t own · Just torturing ourselves

We must be into the abuse · If your the rope that ties us together · Than please make me a noose · Ask me to leave · Then beg me just to stayUsed to run to my arms · But now i walk away · You come and go as you please · I’m like a part time lover with well worn knees

04. RETRACE 3:50

Christian · McAlhaney · Milligan · Wilson · AnberlinOh how I’ve tried to get you out of my head · And I lied with broken words I said · Never thought I’d walk on this street again · Standing where itall began · Tried to forget · When I left this town · Takes me right back · When I come back around · Retrace the steps we took on that lost sum-mer night · I’m back by your side · Retrace the steps we took when we met · Worlds away counting backwards while the stars are falling · Oh

now I find (every) subtle thing screams your name · It reminds of places and times we shared · Could not live locked in these memories · NowI’m chained to my thoughts again · Tried to forget · When I left this town · But I’ll take you right back · If you come back around · Retrace thesteps we took on that lost summer night · I’m back there by your side · Retrace the steps we took when we met · Worlds away counting back-

wards while the stars are falling · I need some shelter I need some safety · Photographs they haunt me lately · Chasing shadows as the eveningtakes me · I’m still searching but thepicture’s fading · Retrace the steps we took on that lost summer night · I’m back there by your side · Retrace

the steps we took when we met · Worlds away counting backwards, still counting backwards · No where else has ever Felt like home · And Ican’t fall asleep · When I’m laying here alone · I replay your voice · It’s like your here · Your move the earth · But now the sky is falling · Retrace

the steps we took on that lost summer night · In my mind,  I’m back there by your side · Retrace the steps we took when we metWorlds away counting backwards while the stars are falling

05. FEEL GOOD DRAG 3:07

Christian · Milligan · AnberlinI’m here for you, she said · And we can stay for awhile · My boyfriend’s gone · We can just pretend · Lips that need no introduction · Now who’sthe greater sin · Your drab eyes seem to invite · Tell me darling where do we begin Was this over before · Before it ever began · Your kiss, yourcalls, your crutch · Like the devil’s got your hand · This was over before · Before it ever began · Your lips, your lies, your lust · Like the devil’s in

your hands · Everyone in this town · Is seeing somebody else · Everybody is tired of someone ·Our eyes wander for help · Prayers that need noanswer now · I’m tired of who I am · You were my greatest mistake · I fell in love with your sin · Your littlest sin · Was this over before · Before itever began · Your kiss, your calls, your crutch · Like the devil’s got your hand · This was over before · Before it ever began · Your lips, your lies,

your lust · Like the devil’s in your hands · Failure is yourdisease · You want my outline drawn · You were my greatest failure · Discourse your savingsong · Was this over before · Before it ever began · Your kiss, your calls, your crutch · Like the devil’s got your hand · This was over before

Before it ever began · Your lips, your lies, your lust · Like the devil’s in your hands · Was this over before · before it ever began · Your kiss, yourcalls, your crutch · Like the devil’s got your hand · This was over before · Before it ever began · Your lips, your lies, your lust

Like the devil’s in your hands

06. DISAPPEAR 3:37

Christian · Milligan · McAlhaney · AnberlinWe are the last of the sleepless ones · Left behind by those we left behind tonight · Quiet now let our poison take

Were we always just your lost cause mistakes · Wait for me will you wait for me · Need you by my side · Way for me make way for me · Witharms wide · Alone left alone · Watch us slowly disappear in time · Unknown still unknown Forgotten, lost, & left behind · Dark lit streets are no

place for kids · But it gives us more of a home than you ever · We’re the silentist’s left to our own demise · Your still our last chance to get out ofthis place alive · Wait for me will you wait for me · With arms wide · Alone left alone · Watch us slowly disappear in time · Unknown still unknown

Forgotten, lost, & left behind

07. BREATHE 3:33

Christian · Milligan · AnberlinThis is surrender · To a life torn war I’ve lived · Scars and stripes forever · In need of change that · I can’t resist · No need to hide anything

anymore · Can’t return home who I was before · I can finally breath · Suddenly alive · I can finally move · World feels revived · This long of astruggle · Finally opened up my eyes · Revolutions not easy · With a civil war on the inside · No need to hide anything anymore · Can’t return

home who i was before · I can finally breath · Suddenly alive · I can finally move · World feels revived

08. BURN OUT BRIGHTER (NORTHERN LIGHTS) 3:33

Christian · Milligan · McAlhaney · AnberlinRacing towards heaven · I fell into a pitch black · Moments from landing and now I’m · Shaking like a heart attack · Is there time · Can I turn back

· I made mistakes in the past · Need a chance · Can’t say goodbye · Wish I could set ·things right tonight · Live, I want to live inspired · Die, Iwant to die for something · Higher than myself · Live and die for anyone else · The more I live I see · This life’s not about me · All I know spins

out of control · Wonder what’s next for a hardened soul · Nothing I earned can save me now · Here in what may be my final hour · Is there time

Can I turn back · I made mistakes, well, in the past · Need a chance · Can’t say goodbye · (Wish I could) set things right tonight · live, I want tolive inspired · Die, I want to die for something · Higher than myself · Live and die for anyone else · The more I live I see · (This life’s not about me)· Live · I want a live on fire · Die · I want to burn out brighter · Brighter than the northern lights (live, but die to self tonight) · The more I live I see

And this life’s not about me · Don’t want to leave this world · Knowing I breathed in vain · Looked out for myself · So sorry so ashamed

Don’t want to leave this life · Knowing I barely tried · To chase down all my dreams · That I hid away on the inside

09. YOUNGLIFE 3:39

Christian · Milligan · Walker · AnberlinHey brother do you remember when · We used to play outdoors till the light was absorbed by the night · Hey brother it was an innocent timeWe used to laugh till we cried · Were still boys on the inside · I want to do it again · The first time staying out all night · The last time we got

away with lies · We can hear it in the back of our minds · Over and over again · I want to do it again · Late night in early lives · Never thought itwould come to a goodbye · We replay it in the back of our minds over and over again · I want to do it again · Hey lover do you remember when

We would dance in your apartment till neighbors · Would knock on your door · Do you remember when · We had no money to speak of·Nowhere else to eat but your floor · I want to do do it again · The first time staying out all night · The last time you looked me in the eyes

I can see them in the back of my mind · Over and over again · I want to do it again · Late nights all entwined · I made a promise to never saygoodbye · I replay them in the back of my mind · Over and over again · I want to do it again · Are those days gone forever · Wonder if we’re

going to ever · See all our young life friends · That we made again · Have we all lost connection · Life pulls in all directionsMemories point the way · Of where we have been

10. HAIGHT STREET 2:59

Christian · Milligan · AnberlinLet’s you and me make our way just beyond Haight street · Let’s leave this life behind forgetting all they say · The time we have is tell wellborrowed · Stay out all night forget tomorrow · Let’s you and me make a night of it · Old enough to know but to young to care · Let’s you and

me make a night of it · Old enough to know but to young to care  · The rear view mirror shows the towns were abandoning · Let’s leave this lifebehind forgetting all they say · The time we have is tell well borrowed · Stay out all night forget tomorrow · Let’s you and me make a night of itOld enough to know but to young to care · Let’s you and me make a night of it · Old enough to know but to young to care · Who cares if there

is trouble tonight · Who cares cause the kids are alright · Tonight we will take this town · Cause were old enough to know · But to young to careLet’s you and me make a night of it · Old enough to know but to young to care · Let’s you and me make a night of it · Old enough to know butto young to care · Who cares if there I trouble tonight · Who cares cause the kids are alright · Tonight we will take this town · Cause were old

enough to know · But to young to care

11. SOFT SKELETONS 4:09

Christian · McAlhaney · Allan · AnberlinDear little girl · There’s so much hurt · For such a young age · Trapped inside · A pretty little lie · Your body’s betrayed

Don’t fix your eyes on a fix you’ll rely upon · Fixed her eyes on a fix she relies upon ·Stand unafraid · All of the good souls · Stand unafraidWhen it’s a crushing burn and the pain returns · I just wish I could heal the hurt you feel tonight · There is life in your veins, these needles aren’tyour chains, to hold you down · How do you expect to win the war if your to afraid to fight · Dear little one · That was so much pain · Time you

can’t replace · Trapped inside to afraid to cry & now · Hands and bruises cover eyes · Don’t fix your eyes on a fix you’ll rely upon

He fixed his eyes on a fix he relies upon

12. MISERABILE VISU (EX MALO BONUM) 6:36

Christian · McAlhaney · Milligan · AnberlinA red priest broke into our classroom · Caught us children by attention · Listen closely to the words I speak · Lord knows if we’ll ever again meet

A man is coming in thirteen one · To charm the daughters and the sons · Miracles like you never seen · From a man who was raised up in thesea · Spoke such words never spoken before · On the way he declared the war · Scared for our lives I turned to your hands hold this tight

While we run if we still can · Whatdisasters may come whatever it may be · At the end of the age it will land you and me · What tragedy maybring what ever may fall · At the end of the world you still belong · Before the red priest took his last breath · He told me child now don’t forgetThe sun will turn dark very soon · Your days are numbered when there is blood on the moon · The earth will shake and the sky will fall · The eyeswill open of those enthralled · But by then it will be to late · One third the water you’ll find sedate · Don’t take the sign, but you’ll be killed · Bythe man from seven hills · Scared for our lives I turned to your hands · Hold this tight while we run if we still can · What disasters may come

whatever it may be · At the end of the age it will land you and me · What tragedy may bring what ever may fall · At the end of the world you stillbelong · Look children to the eastern sky · When you hear the voice say your last goodbye · Look there to the eastern skies · When the ghosts

take hold of the men who’ve died · Look children to the eastern sky · When your fathers weep and your mothers cryLook children to the eastern sky
