Alone, afraid
I failed to save her
And now I work to pay the debt that once supported us
Oh in these dark days
I fail to recognize what I've become
I can't get over what I've done
I am done
Consider this my resignation, oh
No more, no more
This is not what mama wanted for me
To be a scapegoat for a felon
So I'm showing them the proof
So that the world may know the truth
I'm not the criminal
I'm just the man and I'm
Trying to give you every goddamn thing you asked for
And this fist of mine, it leaves a mark
And the city stained black and blue
It all leads back to me, but you know
It's all because of you
Red yellow and blue
These are colors he used to humble you
Who knew you could fall from your pedestal, (HA)
I almost followed through
With just a bit more force, I'd have done away with you
What I would do to rid you from my world
I am done
Consider this my resignation, oh
No more, no more
This is not what mama wanted for me
To be a scapegoat for a fellon
So I'm showing them the proof
So that the world may know the truth
I'm not the criminal
I'm just the man and I'm
Trying to give you every goddamn thing you asked for
And this fist of mine, it leaves a mark
And the city stained black and blue
It all leads back to me, but you know
It's all because of you
(solo) (breakdown)
I'm not the criminal
I'm just the man and I'm
Trying to give you every goddamn thing you asked for
And this fist of mine, it leaves a mark
And the city stained black and blue
It all leads back to me, but you know
It's all because of you
I'm not the criminal
I'm just the man and I'm
Trying to give you every goddamn thing you asked for
And this fist of mine, it leaves a mark
And the city stained black and blue
It all leads back to me, but you know
It's all because of you
I'm not the criminal
I'm not the criminal
So let me go
So let me go
I'm not the criminal
I'm not the criminal
So let me go
So let me go

New Moon

Your lips are stained by the chocolate that we eat
Under the starlight where we meet
Amongst the city streets
Just another pair of feet on a park bench seat
I am a wolf, alone
Apart from the pack
You give me love, girl I may not give it back to you
You just don't know what I have been through, honey
I've never been so goddamn disappointed
You took my heart and made my whole life distorted
If I admit that how I lived was wrong
Could this really be the chance for me to write myself a new song?
The last I've felt this feeling, god I don't know when
I really wanna tell you, but I just don't know how
Know how, just don't know how, know how, girl
You pulled me back to Earth from the stars above
I only wanna thank you, but I just don't know how
Know how, just don't know how, know how, girl
You stopped, turned around and you kissed me in the night
Like explosions in the sky, you light the night
Seems we only just met, girl and now you leave my sight
Your thunder beats my heart
Back into reality, a life of immorality
I turn to walk away, so scared that love
Will lead me back to where I was
To where I've always been
'Cause now I'm taken over by the stranger from within
I've never been so goddamn disappointed
You took my heart and made my whole life distorted
If I admit that how I lived was wrong
Could this really be the chance for me to write myself a new song?
(solo)
Oh, the last I've felt this feeling, god I don't know when
I really wanna tell you, but I just don't know how
Know how, just don't know how, know how, girl
You pulled me back to Earth from the stars above
I only wanna thank you, but I just don't know how
Know how, just don't know how, know how, girl, you
The last I've felt this feeling, god I don't know when
I really wanna tell you, but I just don't know how
Know how, just don't know how, know how, girl
You pulled me back to Earth from the stars above
I only wanna thank you, but I just don't know how
Know how, just don't know how, know how, girl
You stopped, turned around and you kissed me in the night

Apart from all the others that served to cause you pain
I marvel at your beauty, girl
You're a sight to put the others to shame
In asking for the first kiss, I'm left speechless
With all the feelings I feel
The feelings that are now so real to me
They are the reason I choose to say
Dear Lyria, dear Lyria
I need you to know
Dear Lyria, my dear Lyria
I'll never let you go
The next time that I see your face
It'll be the deciding factor
We were the same in so many ways
It's a shame we had to let it end in flames
Like a creature from a fairy tale, you're my angel from above
On your wings, you see everything
It's a sight that we could only dream of
God knows how hard we've tried to fly
God knows we've tried, we've died
And in the end I find peace in you
As we ascend into the skies so blue
Dear Lyria, dear Lyria
I need you to know
Dear Lyria, my dear Lyria
I'll never let you go
(solo) (breakdown)
Dear Lyria, Lyria
I need you to know
Dear Lyria, my dear Lyria
I'll never let you go
And the next time that I see your face
It'll be the deciding factor
We were the same in so many ways
It's a shame we had to let it end in flames
Like a bird as it leaps from the tree
I will take my first steps across this boundary, this boundary, girl
And I will fly away to a distant place
Where I can make my dreams a reality

City of Dreams

The hatred that consumes your soul
Once bottled up know overflows
You've got nowhere to run, you have no place to go
You dreamed of riches, dreamed of gold
You filled their hearts with fear
Enjoy playing god, my friend, your end draws ever near
Can you see or are you blind?
Your city burns, your people die
Look how they run, mice to you the scientist
Your hands are nearly red, the population in which you fed
Delivers a message to you
The hero now arrives to meet your armies
All aligned on strings like puppets
You coward, are you afraid of what's to come?
The fall before him, helpless souls before his hands
Are you ready to surrender, or take one more chance? Oh
Can you see or are you blind?
Your city burns, your people die
Look how they run, mice to you the scientist
Your hands are nearly red, the population in which you fed
Delivers a message to you
(Woah) We will not hide no more
(Woah) We come now to break down these doors hand in hand
We are one, we are one
(Woah) To truly put an end to all this tyranny
(Woah) And recreate a world in which we all believe
We are one, we are one, we are one
(solo Justin) (solo Michael)
Can you see or are you blind?
Your city burns, your people die
Look how they run, mice to you the scientist
Your hands are nearly red, the population in which you fed
Delivers a message to you
(Woah) We will not hide no more
(Woah) We come now to break down these doors hand in hand
We are one, we are one
(Woah) To truly put an end to all this tyranny
(Woah) And recreate a world in which we all believe
We are one, we are one, we are one
(Woah) We are one, we are one
(Woah) We are one, we are we-ha-ha-han
