Second Chances lyrics - Cartel

I've been waiting for answers.

I've been looking for a reason

So I could start all over again.

Erase and rewind it back from the end.

All I ever wanted to be is

Something real, something important

But I'm so damn disappointed

'Cause waking up just to get down

Never gets better.

No, I'm never getting better!

I know there's no second chances

But I'm still hoping there's exceptions

So I could start all over again.

Erase and rewind it back from the end.

All I ever wanted to be is

Something real, something important

But I'm so damn disappointed

'Cause waking up just to get down

Never gets better.

No, I'm never getting better!

Oh, just to feel it again.

Just pretend I could go back to begin.

All I ever wanted to be is

Something real, something important

But I'm so damn disappointed

'Cause waking up just to get down

Never gets better.

No, I'm never getting better!

Never gets better.

Take Me With You lyrics - Cartel

She's just this girl right down the street

She's got my heart, my soul to keep

She's got my world turned upside down

Tied up and now I guess it shows

Locked down in the straight and narrows

Maybe I'm an ordinary boy

But she had to notice me

I made it so obvious to see

Now she says she's going off to see the world

And if you go there, oh please take me with you

If you go there, oh please take me with you

Cause I can never see what you imagined, no

I couldn't see that road

So if you go right now, please take me with you

I have, oh so endlessly

Built up all these fantasies

We'd turn this world upside down

She said, if you got heart, you got me

And if you got dreams, well let's just see

You're not so ordinary as you believe

But she had to notice me

I made it so obvious to see

Now she says she's going off to see the world

And if you go there, oh please take me with you

Saying if you go there, oh please take me with you

Cause I can never see what you imagined, no

I couldn't see that road

So if you go right now, please take me with you

So if you go there, oh please take me with you

Saying if you go there, oh please take me with you

Cause I can never see what you imagined, no

I couldn't see that road

So if you go right now, please take me with you

First Things First lyrics - Cartel

Sometimes we all get down

Looking for something profound

But it's never what it seems

Always something in between

Wishes and Thoughts

Haves and Have-Nots

Things could be worse

But they could be better

First things first

Always remember to

Keep your head up

Don't let them slow you down

Because they'll play you for a fool

While they're pushing you around

Just keep your head up

Don't let them pull you down

Cause you're getting what you want

With the answers that you've found

Sometimes we can't go back

To the place where we got off track

And it's never quite enough

Always stuck here thinking of

Hopes and Regrets

Love and Neglect

Things could be worse

But they could be better

First things first

Always remember to...

Keep your head up

Don't let them slow you down

Because they'll play you for a fool

While they're pushing you around

Just keep your head up

Don't let them pull you down

Cause you're getting what you want

With the answers that you've found

So it goes

Ebb and flow

These seeds we sow

Will someday grow...

Just keep your head up

Don't let them slow you down

Because they'll play you for a fool

While they're pushing you around

Just keep your head up

Don't let them pull you down

Cause you're getting what you want

With the answers that you've found

Just keep your head up

Just keep your head up

You're getting what you want

With the answers that you've found

Best Intentions lyrics - Cartel

I've been, wondering how

It's been years, oh yes 3 years now

Since I have found, what I'm looking form

Since I have found, what I was before

Look at me now, I'm screaming

I'm crying out while I'm reading

I walk the ambitions

But I have the best of intentions

And now I can't stop shaking

Because my will is breaking

Fallen, to pieces, still I can't find the reason

To get me out of this place

Better off now in the worst ways

Fallen, to pieces, maybe it's just what I needed

To get out of my own way

Better off now than the first place

I've been, walking around,

With my head stuck up in the clouds

So sick and tired of being

So sick and tired of this feeling

Look at me now, I'm screaming

I'm crying out while I'm dreaming

I walk the ambitions

But I have the best of intentions

And now I can't stop shaking

Because my will is breaking

Fallen, to pieces, still I can't find the reason

To get me out of this place

Better off now in the worst ways

Fallen, to pieces, maybe it's just what I needed

To get out of my own way

Better off now than the first place

It doesn't rest in the fall

Then why do I carry on

I just can't seem to recall

What I intended all along

Fallen, to pieces, still I can't find the reason

To get me out of this place

Better off now in the worst ways

Fallen, to pieces, maybe it's just what I needed

To get out of my own way

Better off now than the first place

Better off now in the worst ways

Better off now than the first place.

Thin Air lyrics - Cartel

Oh

You've gone and done it this time

You stupid boy, you're out of line

And all misunderstandings, all of them aside

Your sincerity burst a hidden lie

A fantasy, and fairy tales

Now you're leaving all of this behind

Off to see the world and there you'll find

I've been waiting here now all this time

We could've had it all, but you were blind

We could've had it all

Wait, the smoke—it never cleared

And now you've gone and disappeared

Into thin air

You vanished like a ghost tangled in despair

Searching for a reason

Now you're leaving all of this behind

Off to see the world and there you'll find

I've been waiting here now all this time

We could've had it all, but you were blind

We could've had it all

And now you've gone and disappeared

Into thin air

You vanished like a ghost tangled in despair

Now you're leaving all of this behind

Off to see the world and there you'll find

I've been waiting here now all this time

We could've had it all, but you were blind

We could've had it all

We could've had it all

We could've had it all

We could've had it all

We could've had it all

We could've had it all

We could've had it all

Uninspired lyrics - Cartel

I’m a bit overwhelmed, some may call it uninspired

But what is there left to do when someone’s so young and admired?

And what’s the point of it all?

If it just goes to waste

If I’m nothing more than currents riding on top of the waves

So now I’m writing this song

Like I’ve got something to say

Well I’ve said it before; I’ll say it again ‘till I’m blue in the face

And what’s the point of it all?

To come apart at the seams

If I’m never gonna be around to witness the dawn of my dreams

We’re not giving up

No we’re not giving up

Do I have courage to say, what appears in my mind?

Or am I still censored by all that it means to comply?

So now I’ve found myself here, with this purpose and strength

To brandish these words, spoken at last, spoken at length

And now they’re selling us a way out, a bitter pill

We can’t afford the blood we’ve spilled

Hold on to what you will, we can’t afford it

And they’re still calling it a way out, a lonely road

We couldn’t but we must’ve known

Oh no, we’re bowing out

They’re gonna miss us when we’re not around

Put all emotion aside, no matter how hard you try

Take what is buried inside

You had it, you got it, goodbye

Put all emotion aside, no matter how hard you try

Take what is buried inside

You had it, you got it, goodbye

And now they’re selling us a way out, a bitter pill

We can’t afford the blood we’ve spilled

Hold on to what you will, we can’t afford it

And they’re still calling it a way out, a lonely road

We couldn’t but we must’ve known

Oh no, we’re bowing out

They’re gonna miss us when we’re not around

We can’t afford the blood we’ve spilled

You’re gonna miss us when we’re not around

Sympathy lyrics - Cartel

Your selfish ways have taken their toll

I'm on my knees, and you've lost control

You're saying this, for my own good

My benefit lacks what you said it would

Your point is made

And now I'm left with

Nothing but shame

And if that is what your sick mind wants to see

Then I've had it with everything

While I'm drowning in your sympathy

This conversation,

Your bleeding heart,

Your actions have shown

Why we're set apart

Bleeding, bleeding out

Filled with, filled with doubt

No one knows this fear that I'm left with now

Your point is made

And now I'm left with

Nothing but shame

And if that is what your kind calls empathy

I'm defending my sanity

And if that is what your sick mind wants to see

Then I've had it with everything

While I'm drowning in your sympathy

Your point is made

And now I'm left with

Nothing but pain

And if that is what your kind calls empathy

I'm defending my sanity

And if that is what your sick mind wants to see

Then I've had it with everything

While I'm drowning in your sympathy

Yeah I'm drowning in your sympathy

Now you're seeing all your bridges burn,

We're all waiting for it to be your turn,

With your fingers and your wires crossed,

Counting down the names of the lives you've cost

Mosaic lyrics - Cartel

Picking up the pieces

To put them back together

Staring at the faces

That hoped for something better

Wondering if I'll ever be the same

Wondering if I'll ever feel good again

But I'm still standing

Holding on

Stripped of all these chains you've put on

I'm still young

I'm still free

You haven't got the best of me

Holding on to reason

But caught up in the moment

With nothing to believe in

Because everything is broken

Nothing will ever be the same

No nothing will ever feel good again

Now you're seeing all your bridges burn

We're all waiting for it to be your turn

With your fingers and wires crossed

Counting down the names of the lives you've cost...

Disconnect lyrics - Cartel

I'd like to show you what I'm made of

I'd like to show you a thing or two

Cause I got a few friends

I got a good nerve to fight

And we know just what it feels like, yeah

What it feels like to lose

We won't give up, we won't give in

We won't give anything again

We're on our own, gotta finish it

We can't let anything resist

We never wanted it to be like this

Wanted it to be like this

Just keep pushing till the pieces fit

Can we disconnect

They wanna bury you in secrets

They wanna tell you what you should do

And they got a million excuses

But we know what it means to lose

And we won't give up, we won't give in

We won't give anything again

We're on our own, gotta finish it

We can't let anything resist

We never wanted it to be like this

Wanted it to be like this

Just keep pushing till the pieces fit

Can we disconnect

From a wall that would pull us down

As long as we're still standing

We're gonna hold our ground

We won't give up, we won't give in

We won't give anything again

We're on our own, gotta finish it

We can't let anything resist

We never wanted it to be like this

Wanted it to be like this

Just keep pushing till the pieces fit

Can we disconnect

From a wall that would pull us down

Can we disconnect

We're gonna hold our ground

Can we disconnect

Collider lyrics - Cartel

We've lost our heading

We have lost our way

Now fear is spreading

We fall and pray

We're getting closer

To the end

Head spinning faster

When our worlds collide

There is nowhere for us to hide

Yeah, we live and die

On this universal tide

No more debating

Much to our dismay

The world is fading

Into decay

We're coming closer

To the end

It's spinning faster

When our worlds collide

There is nowhere for us to hide

Yeah, we live and die

On this universal tide

We're treading water, we're getting boardered,

We're heading under, upsetting order, upsetting order

When our worlds collide

There is nowhere for us to hide

Yeah, we live and die

On this universal tide

When our worlds collide

There is nowhere for us to hide

Yeah, we live and die

On this universal tide

A Thousand Suns lyrics - Cartel

I can hear the ancients, calling out

They're praying for patience

Shining down

But the light has faded, like the sun

And I'm persuaded

That nothing now can be done

Can't even hear them now

Their light is glowing dim

And I've been covering, covering ground

Crossing barriers between us now

And we wait

Can't even see them now

The aqua swing again

And I've been covering, covering ground

Crossing barriers that still surround

And we wait

A thousand suns

We wait for them

The fallen ones

Will wake again

A thousand suns,

We wait for them

The fallen ones

Will wake again

A thousand suns,

We wait for them

The fallen ones

Will wake again

A thousand suns,

We wait for them

The fallen ones

Will wake again

Put all emotions aside

No matter how hard you try

Take what is buried inside

You want it, you got it, goodbye

Put all emotions aside

No matter how hard you try

Take what is buried inside

You want it, you got it, goodbye.

17 lyrics - Cartel

There you go just sitting there

You're never satisfied

And you know you don't care

Even though you tried

You're caught up in a moment

In a state of mind

You're just looking for something

That feels like the first time

We were only kids back then

All the things that could have been

It's too late

Too much time has passed with nothing in between

It's OK

Looking back will only cost you everything

It's such a shame for you, my dear

It's something that you should have seen

It's never gonna be the way it was

When we were 17

And no, that's still not good enough

You're the stubborn kind

You'll never get what you're dreaming of

In a static life

You're caught up in a moment

In a state of mind

You're still looking for something

You swear that it's the last time

We were young and stupid then

Everything comes to an end

It's too late

Too much time has passed with nothing in between

It's OK

Looking back will only cost you everything

It's such a shame for you, my dear

It's something that you should have seen

It's never gonna be the way it was

When we were 17

Yea, you're holding on

To a moment that's gone

I hope you understand

What's come to pass came to an end

It's too late

Too much time has passed with nothing in between

It's OK

Looking back will only cost you everything

It's such a shame for you, my dear

It's something that you should have seen

Cause it's never gonna be the way it was

When we were 17

(It's too late, it's too late, it's too late)

When we were 17

(It's too late, it's too late, it's too late)

The End lyrics - Cartel

Let's begin at the start of the end

Days I spent all alone, staying in

All this time I've waited just to be sure

It left me wanting so much more

And you are the void that spilled

'Cause it's you and me and nothing else matters

'Cause it's you and me and nothing else matters

It's the end of my days without you

It's the end of my days alone

Counting down 'til you came along

It's the end of my days without you

Driving around in the fog on the coast

It's the times that I love the most

All the nights we spent by the Wildwood shore

Just left me here still wanting more

And I'd give up everything else

It's the end of my days without you

It's the end of my days alone

Counting down 'til you came along

It's the end of my days without you

Some day, some day soon

We'll have nothing left to prove

It takes time, but it won't pass us by

Just you and I, we're gonna build this life

Some day, some day soon

It's the end of my days without you

It's the end of my days alone

It's the end of my days without you

It's the end of my days alone

Counting down 'til you came along

Well that's the end of my days without you

It's the end of my days without you
