We are happy to announce that the debut album titled "Dark Dreams" by Mannequin Religion will be out on September 7th 2013, with Songs To Love and Die By. With all the hype surrounding the young duo since the success of their debut single "one." expectations for this album are through the roof. Throughout the rest of the month we will be getting a track by track analysis and live stream of the album! Today, what we have for you is the album artwork, album track listing, and a description of the influence behind the album by Matt and Nicole! You can few all of the following below! ALBUM ARTWORK ALBUM MEANING Matt: Our new album "Dark Dreams" is crazy. To me it is about life, death, happiness, sadness and every other human emotion that we have in our body. I think that it's an insanely strong start for us as a new band as well because we bring something that people haven't heard before and kind of an eclectic sound to the industry. As many people heard with our song "one.", we are wanting to do something different. I have a lot more vocal time on this album compared to previous stuff that we did when we had "Suburban Sunrise" going so it's pretty different for me personally, but I love it. It's such a new turn for both Nicole and I musically then other stuff we've done, and it's so different then what is being put out right now by other artists. One minute it's a hard hitting rock and roll album, the next minute it's a pop album, and then out of nowhere it's a pop punk album. So we really embraced our roots, and our new influences with this album and made one fucking epic album. Nicole: "Dark Dreams" isn't an album. It's a story about the craziness of life. Obviously life for Matt and I has been anything but normal the last year and half since we left the music industry and this album really gets in depth with what we've gone through. It's also about connecting as a species, and finally uniting. It's crazy how much we've changed since we first started making music. A lot of our earlier music was very dark, and sad, and now it's a bit happier. We have different tastes in music now as well. Although I absolutely still love Pop-Punk, I've dipped into more poppy radio friendly music which is weird but also awesome so you can hear that in our new music too. With this new album we finally made an album for us. We didn't make this album to destroy every band in the industry, we made it because we love music and wanted to see if we could change what seems to be such a bland and boring industry. The main thing I find really interesting about this album too is that we've record almost all of it on the road. We recording six songs before we actually announced the new band, and then we recorded four more while touring, so fans and anyone that listens to this album will get a real authentic feel and know that we recorded this album in the moment, none of it is pre fabricated bullshit that producers wanted. This entire record is what we wanted it to be, and it's so awesome to be on such a bad ass label to where they would let us do something like that. I also think that once people get a taste of the other music they're going to be blown away by what we've done. The only other thing i can say about it is, I can't wait until September 7th! ALBUM TRACK LISTING 1 Let Me Fall 2 one. 3 Miscommunication 4 Wake Me Up From My Nightmare 5 Dark Dreams 6 Last House On The Right 7 Decisions 8 Follow Me Home 9 Failure In Numbers 10 Vulture Check in next week for the first track-by-track analysis by Matt and Nicole!

Slowly debuting our very 1st album! It's pretty exciting... Alright well here we go! "Let Me Fall" is the first track off of the record and was one of the most interesting one's for us to record. It's nothing like our single "one." it's kind of a poppy track and it features Matt on vocals through the whole song. I mean there are really only three times I sing in the song so I'm sure that his synopsis/meaning is a lot better than mine. But pretty much this song is a really fun track, I didn't write the lyrics so to me it probably means something else then it really does. To me this song is about getting lost within your feelings for something or someone and you don't know what you should really do and kind of getting through crazy ass situations. I don't know what Matt meant for it to mean, but to me that's what it means. It's a really fun and odd track, and it's also a track that "Culture Uncut" said was one of our best new ones. I play piano on the song which is pretty awesome! I've never played an instrument on one of our songs until now so I think that it's pretty damn awesome! It's definitely one of my favorite tracks off the album just because, like "one." it's different and weird! So uh yea, that's my thoughts about the song! Matt: So Nicole somewhat got it right.. Well. To be honest "Let Me Fall" is about falling in love with a hooker. Or well, thinking that you're falling in love with a hooker. Either way you guys get it. It's kind of an embarrassing song to talk about but it's an amazing jam. It's also the first song that I've been able to do full vocals on since the first band I was in, so it's quite unique and quite different then what some fans of our old band might be expecting. You know, we said it when we first started, and I'm going to say it again. We're not Suburban Sunrise anymore. We're not trying to re-do what we did in Suburban Sunrise. We're trying to do something 100% new and 100% different then anything we've ever done before and this track definitely helps us prove that! It's kind of crazy to be doing a "Track-by-Track" again after so long but we hope that everyone likes this album, and likes this song! SONG LYRICS Hook You followed me back home So lost and scared what happened? You told me you lost your soul? Tell me what happened? Happened? What happened? (nicole's vocals) Verse 1 You said you loved me Kept me close I'm in your heart now Never leaving here alone Where did you go now? Screams so loud the neighbors know what's up now Don't make me end your life this way Verse 2 You're oh so beautiful Please hold me down and let your pretty cry out I walk in on you And you're having such a melt down Screams so loud the neighbors know what's up now Don't make me end your life this way Pre-Chorus You like my kiss and breaking my bliss Go down low hot damn I think I love you anyway I love you anyway I love you anyway I love you anyway Go down low hot damn I think I love you anyway Chorus I love it I love you I hate this Who are you? I love it I love you I hate this Who are you? I love it I love you I hate this Who are you? Who are you? I think I love you anyway You like my kiss and breaking my bliss Go down low hot damn I think I love you anyway Verse 2 Two days later and your still calling me now I thought this ended You're breath finally wore out You're still so beautiful Even though your life is gone now You're expecting the best time of your life Pre-Chorus You like my kiss and breaking my bliss Go down low hot damn I think I love you anyway I love you anyway I love you anyway I love you anyway Go down low hot damn I think I love you anyway Chorus I love it I love you I hate this Who are you? I love it I love you I hate this Who are you? I love it I love you I hate this Who are you? Who are you? I think I love you anyway You like my kiss and breaking my bliss Go down low hot damn I think I love you anyway (matt's vocals) Hook You followed me back home So lost and scared what happened? You told me you lost your soul? Tell me what happened? Happened? What happened? (nicole's vocals) Chorus I think I love you anyway! I love it I love you I hate this Who are you? I love it I love you I hate this Who are you? I love it I love you I hate this Who are you? Who are you? I think I love you anyway You like my kiss and breaking my bliss Go down low hot damn I think I love you anyway Go down low hot damn I think I love you anyway SOUNDS LIKE Track 2 - "ONE." SYNOPSIS/SONG MEANING Nicole: Matt and I both wrote the lyrics for the song, and if you read them or listen to the song you can tell that we both treated this song like it was our baby. One day when Matt and I were hanging out, the topic of starting up another band came up some how and we both thought that if we are going to be in a band again it is going to need to be something different than what we have made in the past. It's not that we didn't like our old songs, it's just that they weren't really who we were. Sure I mean we wrote them and everything but it was kind of like we were going through the motions instead of pouring our hearts into what we love to do. Which ultimately is what this song is about. Well, it's about two things really. With the parts that I wrote they are about finding yourself, and about how everyone is the same, and about how we all need to treat one another as if we were brothers and sisters. To me this song is very important and holds a special place in my heart because it's not some stereotypical bullshit that people would expect from us, it's something new that honestly no one in the industry today has touched. So, not only does this song bring something new into the music industry, it was created to help people become "one." with one another, which is where the song title comes from as well. Matt: Where to start... "one." is our anthem that tells people about how no matter how hard you work to be better than someone or something that it is nearly impossible to be "better" than them. We're all just normal every day people, just because we play music, or your a professional athlete, or if your some world famous politician, your just a person like everyone else. And for me that's really what I want this song to get across to people. When Nicole and I decided that we wanted to start a new band and do something that is somewhat unique, I came up with the idea of creating what would be kind of, laid back Post-Hardcore music, but without the screaming and with something that is new in a genre that is so dull and expected. To me "one." is a song that will hopefully shine a new light in an industry that has seemed to go so dark. I really want this song to show people that we're not messing around and that we are here to start something new! SONG LYRICS Together we are one!(chant) verse 1 I've been living my life Hating everything I always wanted to feel alive But in reality I was alone bridge I've been living my life And now I know what I've done wrong You are my brother, my sister Together we walk down the road chorus We are all one Together we dont stand alone Together we are one(chant) We are the living saint And the fire between Together we are one(chant) Where we live is where hide We'll decide on the inside Hide in the shadows And living together Together we are one(chant) verse 2 We run we run through All the homes where we once lived There was so much pain pain here But now we live as one, together we dont stand alone bridge I've been living my life And now I know what I've done wrong You are my brother, my sister Together we walk down the road chorus We are all one Together we dont stand alone Together we are one(chant) We are the living saint And the fire between Together we are one(chant) Where we live is where hide We'll decide on the inside Hide in the shadows And living together Together we are one(chant) slow break I've ran for all my life From what we truly are Brothers and sisters Lovers and friends Together we are one Wake up and see the sun Because today we don't run Will you stand Will you stand Will you stand with me slow break 2Matt's Vocals I've been living my life Hating everything I always wanted to feel alive chorus We are all one Together we dont stand alone Together we are one(chant) We are the living saint And the fire between Together we are one(chant) Where we live is where hide We'll decide on the inside Hide in the shadows And living together Together we are one(chant) SOUNDS LIKE

We're on the road so it's absolutely crazy! We're currently on tour with The Harlots and Miss Way, and then after that we jump onto the "No Venue's Tour" starting with the North American leg! We can't wait! Also, in 11 days our debut album "Dark Dreams" comes out! So when we hit the "No Venue's Tour" you all better be singing along with us! So as a "we're sorry" gift to you guys for not being super involved right now, we're going to be posting tracks 3-5 right now for you guys to check out! So let's get on with it shall we? The first new track you guys are getting is one called "Miscommunication." Basically this song is about not understanding what is going on in the world and being confused as fuck at what people are telling you and just trying to get going and move into a realm where you know what exactly is happening. Pretty much that's what the lyrics mean to me, I didn't write this song so Nicole is going to give you a more accurate description about what the lyrics meaning is. Instrumentally for this song we wanted to go for more of that "Rock&Roll" feel instead of the Alternative/Experimental style we went with, with the two previous released tracks. That's all for me, I'll be back again with the next track below! Let us know what you think of this song! Nicole: So hello everyone! Like Matt said we're really sorry for being inactive, it's really crazy to balance everything when we're on the road. Anyway, enough of that bullshit, let's get onto this fucking awesome song! "Miscommunication" is one of my favorite songs off of the album. It's not my 100% end all say all favorite, but it's easily up there! It's a rock and roll song, I mean what could be better!? Lyrically I wrote this song about aliens. A lot of the songs on the rest of this record are about outer space, aliens, and not knowing what is out there. I guess in a way it's about what Matt said but it isn't entirely. I don't really know what else to say about it so check it out! SONG LYRICS 1st Verse What the hell is that Above my head? Running from Everything we've never known before I feel them inside of me Taking all over my brain Are you freaking out? You know you should be Running from Everything you never thought was real But now you are waiting Slowly your freaking The things you believe Are the things that you never knew Chorus We are breaking down Watch the world falling down You need to learn That this is real But what's inside of you Breaks down every tooth Now you know Oh now you know They're watching me And starring right at you Say to me what you want to say There's something more We're not alone Verse 2 Are they watching me? I'm scared of everything I can't avoid They're abducting everything I see So tell me what you see I need to know this now Chorus We are breaking down Watch the world falling down You need to learn That this is real But what's inside of you Breaks down every tooth Now you know Oh now you know They're watching me And starring right at you Say to me what you want to say There's something more We're not alone X3 Sounds Like Track 4 - "WAKE ME UP FROM MY NIGHTMARE" SONG MEANING/SYNOPSIS Nicole: This song is about a bad acid trip that Matt and I both had together about six and a half months ago. What? You made that Matt and I enjoy having spiritual experiences? Fuck you then! Haha anyway, this is another semi rock and roll song but lands more onto the experimental/alternative side that is really the key style we're going for with this album. I like it, we're actually planning on playing this song live on an upcoming tour that we have coming up next month wink wink so we really hope that you guys dig this track. It's one of the heavy hitters on the album, and gets me pumped as hell! It's been the song I listen to before going on stage while we've been on the tour with Miss Way and it's an AWESOME workout song! Dig it or die! Matt: What Nicole said is 100% true. I helped her write the lyrics because we both we're having a bad trip at the same time. The nightmare I was having was that I thought wasps we're stinging me all over and I thought that ants we're eating my eyes. It was fucking CRAZY. It was a terrible experience, and is luckily the only bad trip we've had. I don't have much more to say about it so go listen! SONG LYRICS Verse 1 What do I see? Is it with me? Am I broken? Am I breaking? I can't see two feet in front of me I'm being stung and I can't seem to breath Why is it so hard to be? Chorus Let me break way from everything I've once known It burns so much that I've lost all feeling This has never happened before Now I can't believe Verse 2 Can you see the sky? Have you seen the light? The shapes are gone And the fun has worn off The burn has gotten worse My brain is about to burst I can't keep doing this If I can't even live my life Chorus Let me break way from everything I've once known It burns so much that I've lost all feeling This has never happened before Now I can't believe Break The shapes break away Did we agree to stay My eyes have been ripped out My bodies torn down Is my mind still there? Our sanity's gone Our sanity is gone now Chorus Let me break way from everything I've once known It burns so much that I've lost all feeling This has never happened before Now I can't believe SOUNDS LIKE Track 5 - "DARK DREAMS" Matt: We are officially at the 50% mark for the album! "Dark Dreams" is the title track for the album and is also one of the slower/acoustic songs on the album. This song is a tad bit out of place coming after a hard hitter like "Wake Me Up From My Nightmare" but this song is completely weird. Seriously, it's just straight up odd. The song is about a story I read of a man who shot himself while driving. It just kind of grabbed my interest because it's something that doesn't happen that often and I found it really sad. I wrote the lyrics and the music for this one, so it's kind of like my baby. This song would be the definition of an experimental track, especially instrumentally. Enjoy! Nicole: This is more of Matt's song, so what he said covers it. I just sang half of it for him haha SONG LYRICS What did I see today tell me? So much potential before today What I saw was very bad I couldn't stay her anymore I saw it happen to this man His mind was left all in his car He was so sad he couldn't see the wall Everyone had to stop and look They had seen him before Nobody knew his name, or whether he could speak the law I felt so sad, today You wouldn't believe me, what I saw today My brother came home in a coffin from the war Nobody would stop and stay They all just laughed, and then they walked away I felt so sad, today (Nicole's vocals) I got up When down the stairs Told my mom I liked her hair She didn't really care what I had to say She told me I better get away Grab my stuff, found my head, got outside in minutes flat When I got back home I had a smoke The kids through rocks at my door and I couldn't sleep (Matt's vocals) You wouldn't believe me, what I saw today My brother came home in a coffin from the war Nobody would stop and stay They all just laughed, and then they walked away I felt so sad, today (Nicole's vocals) SOUNDS LIKE Alright everyone! Well that's all we have for you this time! We hope you like what you are hearing so far! We had so much fun making this album, and we hope that you all have fun listening to it! Be sure you come see us on tour! -Matt & Nicole OOC: Sorry for being so inactive, I've been insanely busy with work and I just started my first semester in college so life is crazy right now!

We're so excited it's ridiculous! The next track that we have for you guys is an odd little one. It's a piano/industrial type track that we really like called "Last House On The Right." I spent a lot of time working on the instrumentals for this song and it's actually one of the oldest songs that we had done for this new record. We finished this song about five and a half months ago so since we finished the demo it's just been fine tuning and making it awesome! I'm really really happy with how the track turned out and I think that ?Nicole is as well. I guess the greatest part of making an experimental album is the fact that we didn't have to stick to one style, we didn't just have to make crazy hard heavy music, we were able to branch out into different styles that we've never touched before and if you go back through and listen to this album you can see and hear that our influences have changed and are now all over the place since our last band and it's a good change. Well, at least I hope it's a good change, for all I know you guys could all hate this album. But pretty much that's all I have to say about this track, it's awesome, dark, and different! Nicole: Saturday can not come fast enough! I can't wait for everyone to finally be able to own a copy of this album and I can't wait to open up this big ass boxes of hard copies we have in our tour trailer and sell them at shows! So, "The Last House On The Right" is about facing your fears and getting past the unknown and accepting the fact that you can't know everything and that you will never know anything. I wrote the music for the piano parts which is awesome for me because I've never been able to do anything musically with the band before other than sing but it's different for me and I love it. A lot of people don't know or didn't know that I've played piano since I was six and have been playing guitar for the last three years so it's been fun for me to work on the music with Matt even though he is really the mastermind behind how all these songs are turning out. I love this song so much because it has a darker sound then a lot of the other songs on the album. Enough talking! Go check it out below! SONG LYRICS Verse 1 I'm falling head over heels Learning things I've never thought existed I have my eyes open wide Wondering what I've been missing I'm not coming down Stop calling me down Do you really want to see me die? Even when I've tried? I don't know what's life I'm not coming down Stop calling me down Chorus I'm just busy Finding my way in this world of pain Learning new things Each and every day We're not meant to live In this world dark and pain Verse 2 Can you see what I see? Or do you look right through me? Taking all my frustration Throw into the world, this prison I'm not coming down Stop calling me down When can you see the sky? And know that every single time You see what you see it's just in your eyes I'm not coming down Stop calling me down Chorus I'm just busy Finding my way in this world of pain Learning new things Each and every day We're not meant to live In this world dark and pain Instrumental Break Chorus I'm just busy Finding my way in this world of pain Learning new things Each and every day We're not meant to live In this world dark and pain SOUNDS LIKE Track 7 - "DECISIONS" SONG MEANING/SYNOPSIS Nciole: I told everyone that my favorite song off the album was in this next batch of songs and well, this is it! "Decisions" is another heavy hitter off of the album and is very similar to the style of "one." and well to be quite honest the rest of the songs from here to the end of the record are heavier and easily my favorites off of the entire album, but this one in particular is my absolute favorite. It's about making decisions that make you happy and make your life positive and happy. I mean, what more is better? It's just a good song to listen to when you want to smile and when you need to cheer up. We've been playing this one on the road as well and it's been a blast! Matt: I'm pretty much just going to add on to what Nicole said about this song, and it's all about being happy and enjoying life which is something you don't get much of out songs today so it's something new and different. It's a heavier song like she said which always means that we get to rock out and go ape shit on stage which is always awesome to do! And it's been cool, so far on the road this is one of the songs that's been getting the best fan reaction. People are totally into it and dance with it. That's really all I have to say about it so check it out! SONG LYRICS Chorus Wake up everyday Got a big smile on my face Look outside Look around Look at the land Just go out and give a hand Verse 1 Walking out of town Leaving the negativity behind Wearing crowns upon our heads Being the best people that we can When I'm calling out your name I hear you calling back to me Now I know what it's like to free Chorus Wake up everyday Got a big smile on my face Look outside Look around Look at the land Just go out and give a hand Verse 2 We all have wooden teeth Learning how to cut the strings Out of this prison Out from hell There is love deep in our hearts And splinters in our bones Now I know what it's like to be free Chorus Wake up everyday Got a big smile on my face Look outside Look around Look at the land Just go out and give a hand This is happiness To go out and be free Bridge We're running and we're burning From the time that we're kids Learning how to get past that And becoming well known Get on your feet and run away To a place that you can be No hate, no faith just you and me I know this is how we can follow it down low Bridge 2 We all have wooden teeth Learning how to cut the strings Out of this prison Out from hell Chorus Wake up everyday Got a big smile on my face Look outside Look around Look at the land Just go out and give a hand This is happiness To go out and be free SOUNDS LIKE Track 8 - "FOLLOW ME HOME" SONG MEANING/SYNOPSIS Matt: Here we are! Only two tracks left after this one! How exciting haha! This is the last one that we're posting for today and it's another heavy hitter. Like Nicole said, the end of this album goes out with a BANG! This is track where we tried to blend, electronic pop with the heavy sound of a few other songs on the album. We haven't been playing this song live yet but we might be on an upcoming tour that we're jumping on September 20th wink wink. This is probably my favorite off of the album mostly because of how we blended the styles together. It's something different and awesome! Nicole: This is definitely another one of my favorites off of the album. I just absolutely love the heavy hitters that we made for this album. They're just crazy, fun, and heavy. This one is probably the most unique hard track on this album just because we mixed it up the electronics and the pop sounds that are in it. Lyrically Matt and I wrote it about a crazy fan that we had back when I first joined him on the musical excursion in 2010. She would follow us around town and find out where we were like 24/7. It was really creepy and freaked us out. Afterwards, we ended up getting a restraining order and never saw her again. But! It makes for an interesting story. Matt actually brought it up again a few months back so we thought it would be interesting to make a song about it! So if she's reading this, she knows exactly who she is, and now she knows that there is a song about her! SONG LYRICS Verse 1 [i]Every time I go They stop and stare at me They stop, and they stare Know I know, they know Everything about my life They stop and thy stare We are just the same as you Calm down, just breath, and be you Chorus You follow me everywhere I go Why can't I hide? Broken down you follow me home I need a place to hide We need to find a new home Far away from this place you want us alone Hide in your chest You follow me home with no thought of whats best Verse 2 Get on up And hide away from Everything you know that we know You can't fight the pain That you feel Now you know how this will end Chorus You follow me everywhere I go Why can't I hide? Broken down you follow me home I need a place to hide We need to find a new home Far away from this place you want us alone Hide in your chest You follow me home with no thought of whats best Instrumental Break Chorus You follow me everywhere I go Why can't I hide? Broken down you follow me home I need a place to hide We need to find a new home Far away from this place you want us alone Hide in your chest You follow me home with no thought of whats best SOUNDS LIKE

Time to reveal the last two tracks from the album! "Failure In Numbers" is about pretty much what the title sounds like. It's about society failing as a whole. I wrote the lyrics to this one and it took me about a month to finish it up. I love this song, it's another heavy rock and roll track. We've been opening with this song lately on the past tour and it's a good song to get the blood pumping, and crowd going crazy! It's another song that I love from this album and think the fans will really enjoy as well! Matt: This is my personal favorite from the record simply because it's a bad ass track! It's the one song that I think will remind people of the very early days of Suburban Sunrise. It's a very heavy Pop-Punk track and it's just an overall awesome song! The lyrics are cool as hell and it's just a fun song to too! Playing this song live has also been epic! Check it out! SONG LYRICS Verse 1 Here we are again Never win Breaking down the walls Now every one is gone My eyes are burning tonight I've lost all my thoughts And all my heart Come back home tonight Tear me to pieces and make me your slave Chorus You keep running away When they just want you stay So they can steal all you love And kill you like I do Tonight might be fine But we'll regret it in the morning Verse 2 They tell me it's just failure in numbers Walk on my corps As you just fall And now you know that I can't move on Just know you were loved Before this storm Bridge And my conscious Just tells me To move on But we're broken And we're beaten And poor This is not the end We will not defend All of these lies That they feed down our throat X2 Chorus You keep running away When they just want you stay So they can steal all you love And kill you like I do Tonight might be fine But we'll regret it in the morning X2 SOUNDS LIKE Track 10 - "VULTURE" SONG MEANING/SYNOPSIS Matt: Some of you guys might remember this song. We're bringing it back for all of the old fans that have supported us since the very beginning. We changed it up a big, but the song is still the same general idea that people fell in love with back in 2010. It's kind of crazy to think that the original "Vulture" song came out three years ago! This is also THE HEAVIEST song on the record so for all your kids that LOVE heavy music this is the track for you, and! I get to scream on it! ;) I don't really have much more to say other than thank you all so much for your support! The album comes out in two days and I'm actually nervous! I really hope that you guys have enjoyed are track by track and hope that you guys are all excited to own this album! Nicole: THE LAST SONG IS HERE! Holy cow! Well, "Vulture" is the song from three years ago re-imagined and re-done. We wanted to take a song that all of our fans loved and make it better. We changed up the lyrics, and the style of the track A LOT but we know that our real fans will love this song! Thank you guys so much for sticking with us through this track by track and thank you to everyone who has pre-ordered the album! It means so much to us, you don't even know! Be sure you come see us out on the "No Venues Tour" when we jump on September 20th! Thanks again everyone! SONG LYRICS Nicole's Vocals = Blue Matt's Vocals/Screaming = Red Verse 1 My heart now It's bursting I can't seem to live alone anymore This vulture is watching me He flies above my head Waiting for me just to drop dead Now my hands are trembling down Hold my head and making me drown Tearing my skin right off the bone The vulture waits to follow me home Chorus Time wont wait I find it too difficult Please let me break away Time wont wait I find it too difficult Please let me break away Verse 2 Push me off the side of the earth Where can I find my dear? Where can I find my dear? Push me off the side of the earth I can't sleep He watches me Now my hands are trembling down Hold my head and making me drown Tearing my skin right off the bone The vulture waits to follow me home Chorus Time wont wait I find it too difficult Please let me break away Time wont wait I find it too difficult Please let me break away X2 Bridge/Breakdown Push me off the side of the earth Where can I find my dear? Where can I find my dear? Push me off the side of the earth X2 Bridge Why can't I stand still? X2 Time wont wait I find it too difficult Please let me break away Chorus Time wont wait I find it too difficult Please let me break away Time wont wait I find it too difficult Please let me break away X2 Slow Break/Ending Why can't I stand still? X2 Time wont wait I find it too difficult Please let me break away SOUNDS LIKE BE SURE YOU HEAD TO YOUR LOCAL STORE OR ONLINE RETAILER AND PICK UP MANNEQUIN RELIGION'S DEBUT ALBUM DARK DREAMS OUT THIS SATURDAY!
