I waited for you, on the outskirts of town
I'm flying away, don't know where I'm going now

Ooh Come on
It's time to run
Ooh Come on
It's time to run

Here we are again, fighting demons in our heads
Waging war against our skin, fighting the life we're living in

Ooh Come on
It's time to run
Ooh Come on
It's time to run

If you had the chance to change it all, would you?
To grow and learn to face the ones that hurt you
I know you want a second chance
To learn to become the one you wanted to

Come on
It's time to run
Come on
It's time to run

I wish I could change my brain, rearrange my mind
So that maybe I could find
The thoughts on the back of my shelves that are weighing me down
Cause I don't wanna drown

It's all I feel all I know all I see all I'm shown
It's all too much for me
All these things overflow I can't feel I can't know
It's all too much for me
I don't want to see
Anymore

Get out of my mind
Get out of my dreams
I don't want to see all that you did to me

Get on with your show
Cause I don't want to know anymore
I want to be alone

It's all I feel all I know all I see all I'm shown
It's all too much for me
All these things overflow I can't feel I can't know
It's all too much for me
I don't want to see
Anymore

You looked so pretty in your white dress
Now it's turning red
And they're telling you to undress
While they tilt their heads
And it took no time for your innocence to die
As they counted down the days till they could claim you like a prize

And they'll tell you that you should be grateful
To be looked at, to be wanted at all
They're all watching you with open mouths as you're breaking down and you're crying out

Ooh
What a shame
Ooh
To be loved that way

They put your body in a contest with a wicked grin
Didn't care if you were breathing underneath the skin
And it took no time for your sense of hope to die
Whenever you were reaching out
No one looked you in the eyes

And they'll tell you that you should be grateful
To be looked at, to be wanted at all
They're all watching you with open mouths as you're breaking down and you're crying out

Ooh
What a shame
Ooh
To be loved that way

Yeah

Don't want opinions now
They only bring you down
Don't want to be seen now
You'd rather live without
Don't want affection now
They'll burn you to the ground

Oh what a shame
To be loved that way

Now you're getting older
And they no longer care
Their appetite was over with your silver hair
And you're looking back at all the wasted time
They took away your freedom just to burn you in the fire

They'll tell you that you should be grateful
You were looked at you were wanted at all
They're still watching you with open mouths
As you're breaking down and you're screaming out

Oh what a shame
To be loved that way
Oh what a shame
To be loved that way

Sleep, even when the lights go out
Sleep, even when the sun goes down

No I can’t get away from these feelings
Even when I sleep I feel awake
I can’t run away from these dreams
Even when the dark is far away

Close, even when you hold me close
Feel, even when I feel your love for me

No I can’t get away from these nightmares
Hidden in that bloody haunted past
No I can’t run away from these remnants
Let go at last

Get out of my head
Ripping through me
Get out of my soul
Thrashing through me

I feel it all again, I feel it all again, I feel it all again
Sleep
Sleep

No I can’t get away from these feelings
Even when I sleep I feel awake
I can’t run away from these dreams
Even when the dark is far away

I can’t sleep

No I can’t get away from these nightmares
Hidden in that bloody haunted past
No I can’t run away from these remnants
Let go at last

Sleep
Sleep

I'm so tired of feeling like I can't go out alone
In this world I live in I'm not safe in my own home
With every breath I take
And every move I make

But I'm not gonna let go of the fearless girl I used to be
I'm not gonna lay down and watch this world take over me
Anymore

And every woman that I meet has a story just like me
Reliving what we've seen every night inside our dreams

With every job we take
And every friend we make

But I'm not gonna let go of the fearless girl I used to be
I'm not gonna lay down and watch this world take over me
Anymore

Every time that I go outside, keep a key in my hand at night
Every time that I try to hide, it always follows me
Every time that I go outside, keep a key in my hand at night
It takes my breath away, no I can’t breathe

Another boundary that's been crossed
Memories locked away
I'll take it back at any cost
You will not take my voice away

But I'm not gonna let go of the fearless girl I used to be
I'm not gonna lay down and watch this world take over me
Anymore

I feel like old strings
My mind just won't stretch the way it used to
But that's nothing new

And I feel like those used things
The ones left in boxes on the shelf
Just like everything else

So in the morning, will you hold me?
Will you kiss me? Tell me all I wanna hear
In the moment when I'm spinning
Please protect me, don't you let me hear the truth
Give me anything else
When it's you
When it's true
When it's true

And I don't wanna break down
And erase all of these pieces of myself, no
Please don't let me drown

And in the morning, will you hold me?
(Will you kiss me?) Tell me all I wanna hear
In the moment when I'm spinning
Please protect me, don't you let me hear the truth
Give me anything else
When it's you
When it's true
When it's true

I don't wanna die by the sword I'm carrying tonight, no
I don't wanna live by the doubts I'm harboring tonight, no
I don't wanna drown in the fears I'm swimming in tonight
I'm not gonna die by the sword I'm carrying tonight

Oh, in the morning, will you hold me?
Will you kiss me? Tell me all I wanna hear
In the moment when I'm spinning
Please protect me, don't you let me hear the truth
Give me anything else
When it's you
When it's true
When it's true

If you hold my hand, love, we’ll make it through
We'll make it, we'll make it, we'll make it
We'll make it, we'll make it, we'll make it

To sew all of the beautiful seams
So take me with you when you go
To that place inside your head

I’ve seen you over and over again
Leave this world behind to let your heart run free
And I’ve seen you over and over again
Turning pain into beauty

I want to live inside your head
I want to see the fire of your creation
I want to live inside your dreams
To sew all of the beautiful seams
So take me with you when you go
To that place inside your head

WORK OF ART

Maiah Wynne: Guitars, bass, synths, keys, drums, percussion, lead vocals, backing vocals
Brooks Berg: Guitars
Jim Roach: Percussion, bass, piano, synth, drums

You jumped ship, now there's no turning back
Floating down the water
Trying to backtrack
What a curious thing to just not care
For the first time ever, you're just laying there

From the cracks in your soul, you're a work of art
To the cries in the walls of your broken heart
You're afraid of the anger that you've felt before
But now it's your rage that will win this war

You've gotta break those chains
To change your name
You've gotta fall apart
To heal your heart
You've got to heal your heart

Your rage is a fire warming up your heart
It's a fasttrack burning you back to the start
Don't let it grow too big or you'll hurt yourself
Don't let it go away or you'll just fade out

From the cracks in your soul, you're a work of art
To the cries in the walls of your broken heart
You're afraid of the anger that you've felt before
But now it's your rage that will win this war
You've gotta break those chains

To change your name
You've gotta fall apart
To heal your heart
You're gonna heal your heart

It's time to fuel your fire now
Don't you dare let your flame burn out
Oh, I want to see you burn it down
Don't you dare let your flame burn out

Mastered by: Dave Cooley

Maiah Wynne: Piano, synths, drums, lead vocals, backing vocals
Jim Roach: Percussion, bass, drums, synth
Dallas Kruse: Strings

Trapped in a cage of your design
Locked me away where no one would find
The things that you did
The lies that you kept
Growing out of my skull
Eroding my chest

I want to run where the grass is green
I want to be where your eyes can't see
I want to fly above the trees
If I could fly out of your reach
I'd be floating
Falling
Away from you

I buried it down
Where no one would see
The scars that I hide
Bleeding beneath

But I'm clawing my way
Out of your world
Into the light
The hope of a girl

Now I will run where the grass is green
Now I will be where your eyes can't see
Oh I will fly above the trees
Oh I will fly
Out of your reach
Floating
Falling
Away from you

I'll fly away from you
I'll fly away from you

I know it’s hard
when you’re picking at your scars
You’re comfortable in silence
Safest in the dark
And you take out all your pieces
And you block out all the light
But there’s a hope that sleeps inside you
You feel it every night
And you just cry
And hope someday you’ll find

That in this perfect life
It’s the perfect time
To find your way out
Out of the dark
And it’s the perfect time
To let it all unwind
And spill out all your pieces
And leave them all behind

And I know it’s hard
When time is racing by
You’re holding on to shadows
That kill you every night
And they wrap themselves around you
Now you think it's who you are
You're a ghost that lives in silence
While you tear yourself apart
And you just cry
And hope someday you’ll find

That in this perfect life
It’s the perfect time
To find your way out
Out of the dark
And it’s the perfect time
To let it all unwind
To spill out all your pieces
And leave them all behind

It will be hard
And I know you’re tired
But look how far you’ve come
You’re not the only one

A CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE (Album Version)

Written by: Maiah Wynne
Produced by: Maiah Wynne
Mixed by: Maiah Wynne
Mastered by: Dave Cooley

Maiah Wynne: Guitars, bass, synth, drums, lead vocals, backing vocals
Kevin Jackson: Cello

I know my time has come
And I know it won’t be long
I just want to feel a little longer
Hold on to the light another day

I wish it didn’t have to be like this
Counting all the moments that I’ll miss
But I know that it has to be like this
Knowing when I’ll give you my last kiss

All I had was a chance
All that’s left is a chance to say goodbye
And I wish I could turn back the time
Change the things that I’ll leave behind

I wish it didn’t have to be like this
Counting all the moments that I’ll miss
But I know that it has to be like this
Knowing when I’ll give you my last kiss

All I had was a chance
All that’s left is a chance to say goodbye
A chance to say goodbye
