Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Well Ive never seen us act like this
Our only hope is the minds of kids
And theyll show us a thing or two
Our only weapons are the guns of youth
Its only time before they tighten the noose
Then the hunt will be on for you
The red flag waving never meant the same
No, the red flag waving never meant the same
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Like the smallest bee packs a sting
Like a pawn checkmates a king
Well attack at the crack of dawn
Build a ladder if theres a wall
Dont be afraid to slip and fall
Speak for yourself or theyll speak for you
The red flag waving never meant the same
No, the red flag waving never meant the same
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Like a fire, dont need water
Like a jury, needs a liar
Like a riot, dont need order
Like a madman, needs a martyr
We don’t need them, we dont need them
We don’t need them, we dont need them
We don’t need them, we dont need them
We don’t need them, we dont need them
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday |
In a crooked little town
They were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves
Fallen leaves on the ground
I hitched a ride until the coast
To leave behind all of my ghosts
Searching for something I couldn’t find at home
Can’t get no job, can you spare a dime?
Just one more hit and I’ll be fine
I swear to God, this’ll be my one last time
In a crooked little town
They were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves
Fallen leaves on the ground
Run away before you drown
Or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves
Fallen leaves on the ground
When it gets dark in Pigeon Park
Voice in my head will soon be fed
By the vultures, that circle round the dead
In a crooked little town
They were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves
Fallen leaves on the ground
Run away before you drown
Or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves
Fallen leaves on the ground
I never once thought
I’d ever be caught
Staring at sidewalks
Hiding my track marks
I left my best friends
Or did they just leave me?
In a crooked little town
They were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves
Fallen leaves on the ground
Run away before you drown
Or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves
Fallen leaves on the ground
Run away before you drown!
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves
Fallen leaves on the ground
Run away before you drown!
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves
Fallen leaves on the ground |
She reads a book from across the street
Waiting for someone that shell never meet
Talk over coffee for an hour or two
She wonders why Im always in a good mood
Killing time before she struts her stuff
She needs support and Ive become the crutch
Shell never know how much she means to me
Id play the game but Im the referee
Every word, every thought, every sound
Every touch, every smile, every frown
All the pain weve endured until now
All the hope that I lost you have found
Surrender yourself to me
Even though I know what Im looking for
Shes got a brick wall behind her door
Id travel time and confess to her
But Im afraid shed shoot the messenger
Every word, every thought, every sound
Every touch, every smile, every frown
All the pain weve endured until now
All the hope that I lost you have found
Surrender yourself to me
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds!
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds!
Searching until my hands bleed
This flower dont belong to me
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds!
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds!
Searching until my hands bleed
This flower dont belong to me
This flower dont belong to me
Why cant she belong to me?
Every word, every thought, every sound
Every touch, every smile, every frown
All the pain weve endured until now
All the hope that I lost you have found
Every word, every thought, every sound
Every touch, every smile, every frown
All the pain weve endured until now
All the hope that I lost you have found
I never had the nerve to ask
Has my moment come and passed?
I never had the nerve to ask
Has my moment come and passed?
I never had the nerve to ask
Has my moment come and passed?
I never had the nerve to ask |
Down, lets take it down – raise up their heads on a stake
We will show no mercy on evolutions mistake
Change will have to wait, if we cant decide on a fate
Self-appointed prophets and their doomsday charade
You preach about love and teach about faith
But all your beliefs are still rooted in hate
Crosses still burn, axes still fall
And down on your knees, you just dont look so tall
Crosses still burn, axes still fall
And down on your knees, you just dont look so tall
Stop, punch in the clock – punch it with all of your rage
Put the man in office for a minimum wage
Rats, fighting for scraps, siphon the gas from your tank
Left your pockets empty, as they laugh to the bank
They speak about trust but make no mistake
Theyre shaking your hand while they spit in your face
Crosses still burn, axes still fall
And down on your knees, you just dont look so tall
Crosses still burn, axes still fall
And down on your knees, you just dont look so tall
Now, the time is now, we can still turn it around
Raise your voice like a weapon, til they fall to the ground
Light, let there be light without a shadow of doubt
We will fight tooth and nail until salvation is found
So how can you look the world in the eyes
When all we can see is corruption and lies
Down on your knees, you dont look so tall
Down on your knees, you dont look so tall
Crackin the whip on the backs of the poor
We asked you to stop but you still wanted more
The blood on your hands left a trail as you crawl
Down on your knees you just dont look so tall
Crosses still burn, axes still fall
Down on your knees, you just dont look so tall
Crosses still burn, axes still fall
Down on your knees, you just dont look so tall
Crosses still burn, axes still fall
Down on your knees, you just dont look so tall
Crosses still burn, axes still fall
Down on your knees, you dont look so tall
Open your eyes and the empire falls |
I stumble through the wreckage, rusted from the rain
There’s nothing left to salvage, no one left to blame
Among the broken mirrors I don’t look the same
I’m rusted from the rain, I’m rusted from the rain
Dissect me ’til my blood runs down into the drain
My bitter heart is pumping oil into my veins
I’m nothing but a tin man, don’t feel any pain
I don’t feel any pain, I don’t feel any pain
I’m rusted from the rain
Go on, crush me like a flower
Rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power
Beat me with your chains
And if I’m the King of cowards
You’re the Queen of pain
I’m rusted from the rain
I’m rusted from the rain
You hung me like a picture, now I’m just a frame
I used to be a lap dog, now I’m just a stray
Shackled in a graveyard, left here to decay
Left here to decay, left here to decay
I’m rusted from the rain
Go on, crush me like a flower
Rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power
Beat me with your chains
And if I’m the King of cowards
You’re the Queen of pain
I’m rusted from the rain
I’m rusted from the rain
I’m rusted from the rain
Go on, crush me like a flower
Rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power
Beat me with your chains
And if I’m the King of cowards
You’re the Queen of pain
I’m rusted from the rain
I’m rusted from the rain
Go on, crush me like a flower
Rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power
Beat me with your chains
And if I’m the King of cowards
You’re the Queen of pain
I’m rusted from the rain
I’m rusted from the rain
Oh, the sun will shine again
I’m rusted from the rain
I’m rusted from the rain
Oh, the sun will shine again
I’m rusted from the rain |
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to question the hand that I hold close
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to silence the words that you fear most
Dont ever let go, dont ever let go
Are we destined to hit the ground below?
Dont ever let go, dont ever let go
Were at the end of a burning tightrope
Now Im waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
Its a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
Cause you told me that youd never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
Youre the only one Id follow til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together baby, dont think twice again
Together I know, together I know
That wed burn like a rockets afterglow
Together I know, together I know
We could conquer the stars beyond this world
We let it all go, we let it all go
Im just a voice on a broken radio
We let it all go, we let it all go
We got lost in the constellations
Now Im waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
Its a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
Cause you told me that youd never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
Youre the only one Id follow til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together baby, dont think twice again
And after all of these years, and all of this time
Darling, if Im still a question in your mind
Well just say the words and this will end
Yeah!
You told me that youd never be afraid of heights
You told me that youd never be afraid of heights
You told me that youd never be afraid of heights again
You told me that youd never be afraid of heights
You told me that youd never be afraid of heights
If we fall, we fall together baby, dont think twice again
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I hear your voice on a broken radio
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I know well burn like a rockets afterglow
Dont ever let go, dont ever let go
So are we destined to hit the ground below?
Dont ever let go, dont ever let go
Are we just watching the final chapter close? |
Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know put concrete in my veins
I’d always walk home alone
So I became lifeless just like my telephone
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
Never played truth or dare
I’d have to check my mirror to see if I’m still here
My parents had no clue
That I ate all my lunches alone in the bathroom
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t fight the pain
Teachers said its just a phase
When I grow up my children will probably do the same
Kids just love to tease
Whod know it put me underground at seventeen
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t fight the pain
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name!
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name!
There’s nothing to gain
And I just died today |
A devil in a midnight mass
He preyed behind stained glass
A memory of Sunday class
Resurrected from the past
Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Footsteps down the hallway floor
Getting closer to my door
I was alive, but now I’m singing…
Silent night for the rest of my life
Silent night for the rest of my life
Violent knight at the edge of your knife
“Forgive me, Father” won’t make it right
Silent night for the rest of my life
Silent night at the edge of your knife
You’re guilty!
A devil in a midnight mass
Killed the boy inside the man
The holy water in his hands
Can never wash away his sins
Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Put my trust in God that day
Not the man that taught his way
I was alive, but now I’m singing…
Silent night for the rest of my life
Silent night for the rest of my life
Violent knight at the edge of your knife
“Forgive me, Father” won’t make it right
Silent night for the rest of my life
Silent night at the edge of your knife
You’re guilty!
Whisper, whisper, don’t make a sound
Your bed is made, it’s in the ground
Whisper, whisper, don’t make a sound
Your bed is made, it’s in the ground
Whisper, whisper, don’t make a sound!
Your bed is made, it’s in the ground
Whisper, whisper, don’t make a sound!
Your bed is made, it’s in the ground!
Whisper, whisper, don’t make a sound!
Your bed is made, it’s in the ground!
Whisper, whisper, don’t make a sound!
Your bed is made and it’s in the ground! |
Like a target drawn across my chest
Shes a bullet in Russian Roulette
You said youd never turn your back on me
Would you stand by me or bury me?
Why dont we end this lie?
I cant pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken mind
Before it falls to pieces
Every time
You tried to leave me blind
Youll never close my eyes
Youll never close my eyes and watch me die
And when she spins the bottle round and round
Every time it leaves me gagged and bound
You said youd never turn your back on me
Would you stand by me or bury me?
Why dont we end this lie?
I cant pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken mind
Before it falls to pieces
End this lie
I cant pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken
Mind before it falls to pieces
Every time
You tried to leave me blind
Youll never close my eyes
Youll never close my eyes and watch me die
Misery wont get the best of me
‘Cause now Im calling, yes, Im calling on your bluff
Misery wont get the best of me
‘Cause now Im calling, yes, Im calling on your bluff
Throw down the cards, Ive had enough
Why dont we end this lie?
I cant pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken mind
Before it falls to pieces
Every time
You tried to leave me blind
Youll never close my eyes
Youll never close my eyes and watch me die
End this lie
I cant pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken
Mind before it falls to pieces
Every time
You tried to leave me blind
Youll never close my eyes
Youll never close my eyes and watch me die |
As I get closer, my dreams get farther
I climb that ladder, but you kick it over
Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar
When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker
I dug a hole so deep
I’m gonna drown in my mistakes
Can’t even sell my soul
‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take
I got the devil on my shoulder
And I just can’t sink any lower
The hounds of hell are getting closer
I got the devil on my shoulder
Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen
There ain’t no pot of gold, just copper tokens
I found the key to life, the lock was broken
All my accomplishments are best left unspoken
I dug a hole so deep
I’m gonna drown in my mistakes
Can’t even sell my soul
‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take
I got the devil on my shoulder
And I just can’t sink any lower
The hounds of hell are getting closer
I got the devil on my shoulder
My horror story is nearly over
I said I’m sorry, but I was sober
I beg for mercy from my infernal friend
The one that drops the nails into my coffin
I got the devil on my shoulder..
I got the devil on my shoulder..
I got the devil on my shoulder
And I just can’t sink any lower
They got to take me take me over
I got the devil on my shoulder |
Rejected since day one
My name is bastard son
Ive been damned so many times Ive lost count
Blue collar working man
Devises master plan
Bipolar with a mental side arm
Im sick and Im twisted
Im broken you cant fix it
Dont make me, cause Ill do it
Red button and well all go
Into the river below
Im running from the inferno
Theyll think Im insane
But youll all know my name
Into the river below
Im running from the inferno
Ill take all the blame
The front page and the fame
Contraption made up of
Nuts and bolts creates the
New monster to burn your family tree down
Tick-tocking, times up now
Split second, the world frowns
Lonely heart, never had nobody
Im sick and Im twisted
Im broken you cant fix it
Dont make me, cause Ill do it
Red button and well all go
Into the river below
Im running from the inferno
Theyll think Im insane
But youll all know my name
Into the river below
Im running from the inferno
Ill take all the blame
The front page and the fame

The front page and the fame
Into the river below!

The front page and the fame
But youll all know my name
And theyll think Im insane
But youll all know my name
And youll think Im insane |
You got the look, but not the credit
They wrote the book, on how to sell it
From cigarettes, to skinny jeans
You got the money, they got the means
Oh you upper class daughters, and working class sons
Its hard to save a dollar, the way the world runs
Youre the target market of a corporate joke
It wont be so ironic when your daddy is broke
Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
Youre much better looking when youre in disguise
Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
And this revolution has been brought to you by
Just gotta stop, so you can mimic
The tortured artist, the jaded cynic
The latest gadget, is just a gimmick
Another sucker, born every minute
Well Im sick of this town, bringing me down
A vast world epidemic all around
Im sick of this town, bringing me down
A lost generation trying to act profound
Oh you upper class daughters, and working class sons
Its hard to save a dollar the way the world runs
We got a counterculture you can buy off a shelf
If youre losing your identity try somebody else
Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
Youre much better looking when youre in disguise
Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
And this revolution has been brought to you by
Those who seem to think we dont care
And those who seem to think were not aware
Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
Youre much better looking when youre in disguise
Call the ranks...
Call the ranks...
Call the ranks...
Oh you working class daughters, and upper class sons
Its hard to save a dollar the way the world runs
Were the target market of a corporate hoax
Our generation is a fucking joke
Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
Youre much better looking when youre in disguise
Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
And this revolution has been brought to you by
Those who seem to think we dont care
And those who seem to think were not aware
Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
Youre much better looking when youre in disguise |
Never understood how she could
Mean so little to so many
Why does she mean everything to me?
Is it worth the pain?
With no one to blame
For all of my insecurities?
How did I ever let you go?
Questioning her good intention
Jealousy’s a bad invention
When you push on glass, it’s bound to break
Even when she was defensive
It just gave me more incentive
The more you squeeze, the more it slips away
I never walked so far on a lonely street
With no one there for me
Is it worth the pain?
With no one to blame
For all of my insecurities?
How did I ever let you go?
Accept this confession
You’re not my possession
My conscience is vicious
And I’m begging forgiveness
I never walked so far on a lonely street
With no one there for me
It took too long to see her in misery
And now it’s clear to me
That it’s worth the pain
Always take the blame
For all your own insecurities
How did I ever let you go? |
Is never given enough today
Im tired of looking the other way
An appetite that we cant sustain
Were on a mission to kiss our days away
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here
A generation of castaways
Under a nation of tidal waves
Are we the passengers or the prey?
You cant escape from the past on holiday
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Pack your bags because the tide is getting high
Dont be afraid of the view from economy class
Its just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Whos gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Catastrophic events dont change
Today we feast, but tomorrow we pay
But dont you worry cause youll be safe
I got a ticket to piss your days away
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here
Dont be afraid of the view from economy class
Its just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Whos gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
One city from the coast
One city from the coast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
One city from the coast
One city from the coast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Cannibal rats |
Well, I tripped, I fell down, naked
Well, I scratched my knees, they bled
Sew up my eyes, need no more
In our game there is no score
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty! Try honesty!
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me! Ride over me!
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy! Die tragedy!
Call me a cheapskate, come on for Petes sake
Cry agony! Cry agony!
Im insane, its your fault, so sly
Your well of lies ran dry
And I cut the cord, free fall
From so high we seem so small
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty! Try honesty!
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me! Ride over me!
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy! Die tragedy!
Call me a cheapskate, come on for Petes sake
Cry agony! Cry agony!
I talk to you!
Im insane, its your fault!
Im insane, its your fault!
Im insane, its your fault!
Forgive me father, why should you bother now?
Forgive me father, why should you bother now?
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty! Try honesty!
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me! Ride over me!
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy! Die tragedy!
Call me a cheapskate, come on for Petes sake
Cry agony! Cry agony!
Cry agony! Cry agony!
Try honesty! Try honesty!
Cry agony! Cry agony! |
Everybody is tired
And poor and sick of trying
If you see me on a corner
Will you stop or will you splash me?
Take a look at what weve become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family on a postcard
Picture perfect, I dont want it!
So I hold my breath till my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you cant steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
Shitty weather, bad timing
Lucky penny glued to the ground
Dirty look from total stranger
Hope you get lost and youre not found
Take a look at what weve become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family on a postcard
Picture perfect, I dont want it!
So I hold my breath till my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you cant steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it
This is! How it! It goes!
This is! How it! It goes!
This is! How it! It goes!
This is! How it! It goes!
So unscrew my head and rinse it out
Polish my thoughts, turn into doubts
Unscrew my head and rinse it out
Polish my thoughts, turn into doubts
So I hold my breath till my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you cant steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes |
Today I walked down our old street
Past the diner where we’d meet
Now I dine alone in our old seats
The cold wind blows right through my bones
And I feel like I’m getting old
But I wish I was getting old with you
I held your hand when we took shelter from the rain
She laughed as we picked out our children’s names
White sparrows
Fell from heaven and carried her away
Black arrows
Cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray
Her clothes hang in the closet still
The phone sits on the windowsill
And every time it rings it gives me chills
My heart just stopped when I was told
Doctor, doctor, on the phone
Said my love was never coming home
I hold your casket gently, walking to the grave
Dark clouds eclipse, the sun won’t shine again
White sparrows
Fell from heaven and carried her away
Black arrows
Cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray
They gave her one more day
To say the words I couldn’t say
I’m crying in pain
Crying in pain
And I’m not looking for answers
No, I’m not looking for answers
But dear God, why did you choose her?
White sparrows
Fell from heaven and carried her away
Black arrows
Cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray
They gave her one more day
To say the words I couldn’t say
I’m crying in pain
Crying in pain
Our love will remain
I’m crying in pain |
Well never drink your medicine and well never think your way
Masters of broken promises are born to manipulate
Your mind is a vault of prejudice but we see through the door
Your dirty little secrets arent so secret anymore
Well never drink your medicine and well never think your way
Youre tied to an ideology from a book thats out of date
No room for your daft intolerance left in this day and age
Were not gonna go down quietly, were not gonna be afraid
Cause under the cloak of sanitys a madman in disguise
Are we blind, blind, blind?
I believe it but I dont understand
I feel it coming like the back of the hand
Its a lie , a lie , a lie
If I think youll be the one in command
Itll tear us all apart in the end
Its a lie , a lie , a lie
Its a lie!
Were slamming the doors of democracy on those who are not the same
Were casting the stones at liberty but no one takes the blame
Your cup is full of promise but theres nothing left in mine
Tell me why, why, why?
I believe it but I dont understand
I feel it coming like the back of the hand
Its a lie , a lie , a lie
If I think youll be the one in command
Itll tear us all apart in the end
Its a lie , a lie , a lie
Well never make it like a thief in the night
Will they cover up the evidence of their crimes?
Are we blind , blind , blind ?
When they tell me to surrender the fight
Ill surrender the fight, Ill surrender the fight
Its a lie , lie , lie
All that I need to survive
Is right in front of my eyes
And I don’t need to be tied
To the edge of your knife
All that I need to survive
Is right in front of my eyes
I believe it but I dont understand
I feel it coming like the back of the hand
Its a lie , a lie , a lie
If I think youll be the one in command
Itll tear us all apart in the end
Its a lie , a lie , a lie
Well never make it like a thief in the night
Will they cover up the evidence of their crimes?
Are we blind , blind , blind ?
When they tell me to surrender the fight
Ill surrender the fight, Ill surrender the fight
Its a lie , lie , lie
A big fucking lie
Hey! |
They found an empty bottle on her windowsill
The day her mother lost her sleeping pills
She was sick and tired of being invisible
Hard to see in color when youre miserable
Veronika, Saint Veronika
You cant leave this world behind
So be strong enough to hold onto us
Were still right here by your side
No one ever thought that she was capable
And the damage done is irreversible
Now she clings to life inside a hospital
Like shes trapped inside a frozen waterfall
Always said her life was never meant to be
Stuck here living someone elses dream
Well beyond your window there is so much more
Even every prison has a open door
Veronika, Saint Veronika
You cant leave this world behind
So be strong enough to hold onto us
Its just not your time to die
And while the angels sleep
All of the devils are awake
Waiting to steal your love
Right outside of Heavens gate
And all the sacred hearts
Cant numb the feeling from the pain
Cause when the drugs dont work
Youre gonna curse his holy name
Damn God, yeah! God, yeah!
Damn God, yeah! God, yeah!
Veronika, Saint Veronika
You cant leave this world behind
Oh Veronika, Saint Veronika
Were still right here by your side
So be strong enough to hold onto us
You cant leave this world behind
Oh Veronika, Saint Veronika
Its just not your time to die |
Brothers in arms that share my fears
Time to protect what you hold dear
Theres been a rise in new ideas
Threatening to change the way we live
Who knows what troubles found a way?
Found a way to your door today?
Who knows what troubles on its way?
On its way to intimidate?
All I want is a big red gun
Im gonna shoot shoot shoot at the setting sun
And all I want is a big red gun
Im gonna shoot shoot shoot till the thrill is gone
Cause this is my right no matter the cost
Stay out of my sight when
Babys got a big red gun!
Babys got a big red gun!
Pride is a weapon in your hand
Freedom awards the faithful man
I hear the message loud and clear
Straight from his lips into my ears
And Lord I just cant walk away
Walk away from the enemy
The law will never disagree
On the target of my insecurities
All I want is a big red gun
Im gonna shoot shoot shoot at the setting sun
And all I want is a big red gun
Im gonna shoot shoot shoot till the thrill is gone
And how many lives will have to be lost
To understand why my
Babys got a big red gun!
We call them twisted and deranged
But we gave them the keys to annihilate
How long before the next ones in the ground?
So proud of all your history
But history made a big mistake
The judge and jury stand before you now
Cus babys got a big red gun!
Babys got a big red gun!
Babys got a big red gun!
Oh, momma what have I become? |
Time.. rolling along with the waves
A thousand miles away
Holding you close in the rain
Seems just like yesterday
Lost.. hope in a faraway place
And in my hand remains
A black and white print of a face
Ill never see again
I gave my life to save her
The ocean turned to red
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Cut down like lambs at slaughter
Good men were left for dead
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Love.. served until death do us part
Im drifting in the dark
Wounded and wishing to fall
Into your faithful arms
I gave my life to save her
The ocean turned to red
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Cut down like lambs at slaughter
Good men were left for dead
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Beneath a sky of hate
Beyond a sea of pain
In heaven I will wait
Until we meet again
2x
I gave my life to save her
The ocean turned to red
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Cut down like lambs at slaughter
Good men were left for dead
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all |
The gun is loaded when the glass is full
Down the hatch and the trigger’s pulled
Off the wagon and back onto the stool
I know that when I stare into your eyes
I can see all the years of lies
Ghosts and demons you never exorcised
All the friends that I’ve ever known
Are the streetlamps I follow home
And I’m in the crowd but I’m all alone
Oh, Lord, I just can’t
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave, that’s alright
Well, I’ll just turn these tears into wine
His fate was written on a neon sign
A DUI never changed his mind
He got hooked like a fish caught on a line
You never gave yourself a chance to shine
Your destination’s a chalk outline
And when you get to the gates, you’ll be denied
All the friends that I’ve ever known
Are the street lamps I follow home
And I’m in the crowd but I’m all alone
Oh, Lord, I just can’t
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave, that’s alright
Well, I’ll just turn these tears into wine
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave, that’s alright
Well, I’ll just turn these tears into wine
All the friends that I’ve ever known...
Are the streetlamps I follow home...
The tide keeps pulling me down
I try to reach higher ground
I’ll never give up and drown
Even though I just can’t
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave, that’s alright
Well, I’ll just turn these tears into wine
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave, that’s alright
Well, I’ll just turn these tears into wine
Tears into wine
Tears into wine
Well, I’ll just turn these tears into wine |
Slapped my face, slammed the door
A dozen roses lay on the floor
I saw her friends and I was told
She blocked my number from her cell phone
You said we were meant to be
Now this obsession is killing me
Until I have a heart attack
I’ll keep on trying to win you back
Alone at last
I can’t wait till we’re alone at last
All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last
Forever, forever
I’d walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
And I’ll never, I’ll never
I’ll never let it die
Well, you better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
I’m not so sure about this word
But she kept calling me insecure
I tried to quit but there’s no use
‘Cause I’m addicted to her abuse
She’s in control of everything
I’m just a puppet, she pulls my strings
Denying truth, I’ll test my fate
And keep on playing this wicked game
Alone at last
I can’t wait till we’re alone at last
All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last
Forever, forever
I’d walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
And I’ll never, I’ll never
I’ll never let it die
Well, you better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode
We’re dancing on thin ice before
Frozen from the winter’s cold
And if it were to crack below
I’d never let you go
Alone at last
I can’t wait till we’re alone at last
All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last
Forever, forever
I’d walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
And I’ll never, I’ll never
I’ll never let it die
Well, you better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode
You better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better not touch
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better to forget
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode |
One day youre gonna wake up from this dream
To find out that your life aint what it seems
When you feel so lost, that you dont belong
Well, I beg to differ
As time goes on, this will get better
And you cant go wrong if your will is strong
Enough under pressure
As time goes on, this will get better
This will get better
You struggle every day but no one sees
And trouble eats away your self-esteem
Youre so afraid to face tomorrow
The only thing that waits is sorrow
You cant see the light from behind the curtains
When you feel so lost, that you dont belong
Well, I beg to differ
As time goes on, this will get better
And you cant go wrong if your will is strong
Enough under pressure
As time goes on, this will get better
This will get better
Dont suffer through the dark days
Burn up all the barricades
Turn and face the pain to let it go
No matter what they all say
You can find another way
Never have to battle this alone
Dont suffer through the dark days
Burn up all the barricades
Turn and face the pain to let it go
No matter what they all say
Always be another way
You dont have to battle this alone
When you feel so lost, that you dont belong
Well, I beg to differ
As time goes on, this will get better
And you cant go wrong if your will is strong
Enough under pressure
As time goes on, this will get better
This will get better
This will get better
Dont you surrender
This will get better
This will get better
This will get better
Dont you surrender
This will get better |
Cmon!
Stuck in a crisis
Without a conscience
Trapped in a place we dont belong
Theres no more heroes
Left to believe in
Theyve pushed our backs against the wall
I know that something has to change
We got lost along the way
Your thoughts and prayers cant fix the pain
Cause were falling down again
Crooks and deceivers
Misled believers
A world where decency is gone
Chaotic flashes
Of huddled masses
Stare down the barrel of the gun
I know that something has to change
We got lost along the way
Your thoughts and prayers cant fix the pain
Cause were falling down again
Live in a reckless paradise
The house is burning, trapped inside
A reckless paradise
The wheels are turning truth to lies
In reckless paradise
Could cut the tension with a knife
In reckless paradise
Its up to us to read between the lines
Your thoughts and prayers cant fix the pain
Cause were falling down again
Reckless paradise
The house is burning, trapped inside
A reckless paradise
The wheels are turning truth to lies
In reckless paradise
Could cut the tension with a knife
In reckless paradise
Its up to us to read between the lines
Your thoughts and prayers cant fix the pain
Cause were falling down again
Hey! |
What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and dont forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and dont forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
Today I dont feel pretty
And Im tired of trying to fit right in
Dont think that youre so great
Cause being great must suck
We dont always see the bright side
We all need ego suicide
You hung my id today
But I have licked my wounds and carried on
Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say...
What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and dont forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and dont forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
My heart is in the right place
So wipe that smirk right off your face
Dont make me feel like that
Cause thats just plain not nice
We dont always see the bright side
And I lied when I said I was fine
You slapped my face today
But I have licked my wounds and carried on
Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say...
What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and dont forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and dont forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
You stole my luck from me
And now my fortune cookies empty!
Cause you came and you stole it all from me!
So stand up straight and firmly say
What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and dont forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and dont forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers |
In a garage beside a house
There is a luxury Sedan
And for his next monthly installment
He’s gonna go out with a bang
Boy who always did what he was told
Was promised to be king when he was old
Hit the brakes, hit the glass
Time to shake the hands of fate
The mistakes from the past
Flashed before his face
There is a man, intensive care
When he awakes, he will declare
“I’ve been dead for 20 years!
I won’t let 20 more go by…”
Boy who always did what he was told
Bought the only dream that he was sold
Hit the brakes, hit the glass
Time to shake the hands of fate
The mistakes from the past
Flashed before his face
Burn the evidence of my existence
Clear the ashes on the ground
Burn the evidence of all these things
That pull my spirit down
Burn the evidence of my existence
Clear the ashes on the ground
Burn the evidence of all these things
That pull my spirit down
Ever feel like you’ve been cheated
Following what they believe?
Don’t shake the hands of fate
Oh, don’t shake the hands of fate
Ever feel like you’ve been cheated
Following what they believe?
Don’t shake the hands of fate
Oh, there’s no more time to waste!
Burn the evidence of my existence
Clear the ashes on the ground
Burn the evidence of all these things
That pull my spirit down
Burn the evidence of my existence
Clear the ashes on the ground
Burn the evidence of all these things
That pull my spirit down
Burn the evidence!
Burn the evidence!
Burn the evidence!
Don’t shake the hands of fate!
Burn the evidence!
Burn the evidence!
Burn the evidence!
There’s no more time to waste |
My head, it hurts, each day its getting worse
My looks and smile have now become my curse
Tight lips, red skirt, the never ending street
Big car, little man, my lover for a fee
So if you see me will you just drive on by?
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if you want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh, pretty baby, how could you?
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug shot, baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
Twenty years of dirty needles
Raindrops running through my veins
My head, it hurts, each day its getting worse
No sun, my room has now become my hearse
Cold sores, Im beat, got bruises on my feet
My pride, these men have taken it from me!
So if you see me will you just drive on by?
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if you want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh, pretty baby, how could you?!
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug shot, baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
Twenty years of dirty needles
Raindrops running through my veins
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug shot, baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
Twenty years of dirty needles
Raindrops running through my veins
So if you see me will you just drive on by?

And if you want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh, pretty baby, how could you?!
Standing in the rain...
Standing in the rain...
Standing in the rain...
Milk carton mug shot, baby
Mother, I have lost my way
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug shot, baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
Twenty years of dirty needles
Raindrops running through my veins
Standing in the rain
Mother, I have lost my way
Standing in the rain
Mother, I have lost my way |
The partys over, called it a night
I hope you had the time of your life
They say that rock will never survive
Its up to youth to keep her alive
And I dont know whats making you tick
Generation narcissistic
Little Miss Selfie, Lonely Boy Slick
Its time you got a brand new fix, baby
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
We surfed until the end of the set
Our leather jackets covered in sweat
Those glory days, they aint over yet
So light that torch and burn like a jet
Cause revolution starts on the mic
Strike three chords that cut like a knife
Radio needs a shot to the vein
Of anger, fury, heartache, and pain, baby
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Someone said a long time ago
Rock n roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
The lights go down, the crowd explodes
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Someone said a long time ago
Rock n roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
And were not gonna pack up and go cause were
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ

Shell be back some day, I know, baby

Let the rain fall down, let it fall to the ground
Let the rain fall down to the ground
And the birds don’t sing, no, they don’t make a sound
When you’re six feet underground
Well, they cast me out when the word spread around
That I never sang in the church
And it took one night for the town to decide
I’m afflicted by the curse
And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground
And the birds don’t sing, no, they don’t make a sound
So I look to the sky, tell me why, tell me why
Do they all get to live, and I have to die?
So they marched me down to the center of town
With their pitchforks high in the air
I was chained and bound with a blindfold around
So the judge wouldn’t catch my stare
And they hung my soul from the gallows pole
But the witch they never found
So to those who don’t fit society’s mold
Learn to swim or you will drown
And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground
And the birds don’t sing, no, they don’t make a sound
So I look to the sky, tell me why, tell me why
Do they all get to live, and I have to die?
And the angels sing, let it shine, let it shine
Dry the teardrops from my eyes
And the bells will ring when the blind lead the blind
‘Cause the dead can’t testify
And because I can’t take an eye for an eye
In the afterlife I’ll haunt you till you die!
And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground

And the angels sing, let it shine, let it shine

Buried in the mail before the early morning
Under the frost thats forming his words are calling
Even though alarm bells rang without a warning
All of the clocks keep ticking and time keeps flowing
Everyone that I hold dearly, I try to keep em close
Cause some of them get bitten by the rabbit down the hole
Once they walk past through the grass theyre never coming home
Easy to label yet so hard to nail
Maybe theyve lost their way but found their savior
Living in a fabled lifes a fairy tale
Except our thoughts are fragile, our minds are frail
And everyone that you hold dearly, you try to keep em close
Cause some of them get bitten by that rabbit down the hole
And you once you walk past through the grass youre never coming home
Good God, what have I done?
Mother Natures lonely son
Mother Natures lonely son
Chase that rabbit down the hole
Wander through the open door that leads to nowhere
Whos gonna take away my pain? Take away my pain?
Before you know youre trapped inside the spiders web
Youre screaming there is no escape, there is no escape
The invitations written clearly, youre the one he chose
Until the day youre bitten by the rabbit down the hole
Follow his procession deep into the ground below
Good God, what have I done?
Mother Natures lonely son
Mother Natures lonely son
Chase that rabbit down the hole
Ill drown or I will burn
Down the path of no return
Down the path of no return
Chase that rabbit down the hole
Rabbit down the hole, yeah!
I never thought Id see her suffer, I gave her all I could
And everything I had to offer was never understood
How many days until her mind has left the world for good?
Good God, what have I done?
Mother Natures lonely son
Mother Natures lonely son
Chase that rabbit down the hole
Ill drown or I will burn
Down the path of no return, down the path of no return
Chase that rabbit down the hole
One of these days youll break away
One of these days youll break away
One of these days youll break away
One of these days youll fade away
One of these days youll break away

Time
Drifts through the sky
Without a reason why
We walk past the flowers
Dont stop for a breath
Until theyre above our heads
We used to fight
Have we made amends?
Father I just cant tell
Watching you spend
The time you have left
Trapped in a cold blue bed
In darkness well rest
Count the days down to one last breath
In darkness well rest
So forgive what you cant forget
We said
That we would call
But we never spoke at all
The years drifted by
Weve built up these walls
For reasons that seem so small
If this is the end
Lets bury the past
This might be our one last chance
Together until
The last grain of sand
Has dropped from the hourglass
Open your eyes and dont forget to breathe
If we lose the fight, your spirit will live through me
Its time we make right the pages of history
Until we find a cure for the enemy
All those youve loved
All those whove died
All we have left is what lives in our minds
All those youve loved
All those whove died
I know their spirits are up in the sky
All those youve loved
All those whove died
All we have left is what lives in our minds
All those youve loved
All those whove died
I know their spirits are up in the sky |
Urban Hipster, the new gangster
Fronting by the club
A new wave mannequin packing haircuts
Instead of packing guns
Magazines from overseas
Wont teach you how to feel
They trade in their hearts for indie rock charts
To tell them what is real
When did they assume putting on a costume
Gave them a right to ostracize?
Out of the woodwork, art aficionados?
Answer one question
Where is the line, where is the line
Between your fashion and your mind?
Where is the line, where is the line?
Cause some of us arent blind!
Where is the line, where is the line?
To be yourself is not a crime
Where is the line, where is the line?
Cause some of us arent blind!
She sells street cred with no smile
At the local record store
Shes acting the role and dressing the part
Pretending to be bored
The truth about conformity is
It bites without a sting
Trends come and go, but when youre alone
It doesnt mean a thing
When did they assume putting on a costume
Gave them a right to ostracize?
Out of the woodwork art aficionados?
Answer one question
Where is the line, where is the line
Between your fashion and your mind?
Where is the line, where is the line?

I should have turned and walked away
But I got tangled in your chains
A trail of debt for all to see
You shut the cage and stole the key
Your state of mind revealed
That my love for you was real
They say in time wounds heal
But Ive got nothing left to steal
My mouth is shut, my lips are sealed
You are the crutch of this disease
And Ive been locked in your machine
Sit here and rot or break this deal
I spilled my blood on the checkered floor
You’ve got me crawling back for more
You set the trap, I’ll take the bait
A bed of nails I can’t escape
Your state of mind revealed
That my love for you was real
They say in time wounds heal
But Ive got nothing left to steal
My mouth is shut, my lips are sealed
You are the crutch of this disease
And Ive been locked in your machine
Sit here and rot or break this deal
Now its so dark that I cant see
The mental scars you left on me
So dig your nails and grind your teeth
Im in your clutch for eternity
Yeah, I know its hard for you to see
The mental scars you left on me
So dig your nails and grind your teeth
Im in your clutch for eternity
My mouth is shut, my lips are sealed
You are the crutch of this disease
And Ive been locked in your machine
Sit here and rot or break this deal |
Well I tripped, I fell down naked

Come on for petes sake
Cry agony, cry agony
Cry agony, cry agony
Cry agony, cry agony
Cry agony, cry agony |
Constant quick fixes
They dont make no sense
Hop on bandwagons
You make me sick
Dont you tell me what you think is right!
When youre living in the shadows
I can tell that you have lost your sight!
When youre living in the shadows
Dont you tell me what you think is right!
When youre living in the shadows
I can tell that you have lost your sight!
When youre living in the shadows
Distant loud chuckles
They keep me awake
Awkward instances
Wont make you hip
Dont you tell me what you think is right!
When youre living in the shadows
I can tell that you have lost your sight!
When youre living in the shadows
Dont you tell me what you think is right!
When youre living in the shadows
I can tell that you have lost your sight!
When youre living in the shadows
Weve said this all before
Your shadows at the door
Weve said this all before
Your shadows at the door
Theres darkness in the hall
And we wont take the fall
And we wont take the fall!
2x
Dont you tell me what you think is right!
When youre living in the shadows
I can tell that you have lost your sight!
When youre living in the shadows
Dont you tell me what you think is right!
When youre living in the shadows
I can tell that you have lost your sight!
When youre living in the shadows |
Well, I looked at her face
And then I know she changed
Yeah, my heart turned black
Then the sky turned gray
Yeah, my heart turned black
Then the sky turned gray
And so I sat in my room
For twenty-seven days
No, she never called
I had something to say
No, she never called
I had something to say
Well, I dont know much
I dont know how
Why would she put me through such torture?
I would have given my life for her
She was the one that knocked me over
Now Im alone sitting on the corner
Well, I heard shes great
And her new boyfriends lame
Well, she can go to hell
Ill never be the same
She can go to hell
Ill never be the same
And these open wounds
Will heal with time they say
Yeah, my heart turned black
Then the sky turned gray
Yeah, my heart turned black
Then the sky turned gray
Well, I dont know much
I dont know how
Why would she put me through such torture?
I would have given my life for her
She was the one that knocked me over
Now Im alone sitting on the corner
Why would she put me through such torture?
I would have given my life for her
She was the one that knocked me over
Now Im alone sitting on the corner
Well I dont know much
I dont know how
Why would she put me through such torture?
I would have given my life for her
She was the one that knocked me over
Now Im alone sitting on the corner
Why would she put me through such torture?
I would have given my life for her
She was the one that knocked me over
Now Im alone sitting on the corner |
We tried to stay young by chasing the sun
You blink for too long, the swan sing a song
And all that Ive lost, and all that Ive won
Dont mean nothing more when you open your eyes and theyre gone
After all weve been told, were still flesh and bone
And lifes worth much more than silver and gold
And all that Ive lost, and all that Ive won
Dont mean nothing more when you open your eyes and theyre gone
And how can it be that well never see
The first day of spring and the last autumn leaves?
So lost in my mind, I try to stay strong
If wounds heal in time, tell me why its so hard to move on
Hard to move on
Ill never move on
I curse the mistakes that well never make
The pictures of trips that well never take
And all of these thoughts that keep me awake
Hang on to your heroes before its too late
Cause therell come a time when you open your eyes and theyre gone
Someday, theyre gone
Someday, theyll be gone
And Ill still be here chasing the sun |
All we shared was a mattress
And a lie and an address
Baby, I dont need you
Well, baby, I dont need you
Once occupied by a goddess
Now its a room full of boxes
She said, its time to leave you
But, baby, I dont need you
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world... Id see no therapist
In a perfect world... this wouldnt make me sick
I never got the whole story
Not til after she left me
Baby, I dont need you
Well, baby, I dont need you
Word on the street is she fucked him
While we were playing in Cleveland
Well, baby, I dont need you
Youre fading in my rearview
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world... Id see no therapist
In a perfect world... this wouldnt make me sick
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... this wouldnt make me sick!
Control, Alt, Deleted
Control, Alt, Deleted
Control, Alt, Deleted
Reset my memory!
Control, Alt, Deleted
Control, Alt, Deleted
Control, Alt, Deleted
Reset my memory!
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world... Id see no therapist
In a perfect world... this wouldnt make me sick
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes.. |
Were living underneath the land of sorrow
I can hear the bombs rain down
And how do I explain theres no tomorrow
I can hardly make a sound
Dead silence, a fate we cant escape
Till death do us part in the end
Theyre marching up the main street as my heart beats
Louder than machine gun fire
The sound of all the sirens sing like violins
Rattling the cold barbwire
I heard the soldiers say, Dont let them get away
But I could not escape their bullets and grenades
A casualty of war, a victim of mistake
Another widow has been made
Dead silence will come to rescue me
When violence has took this world away
Dead silence, a fate we cant escape
Till death do us part in the end
Dead silence will come to rescue me
When violence has took this world away
Dead silence, no time to be afraid
My love, I will see you again
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Fly away like the wind
Some things God cant forgive
Why is war justified
While the innocent die?
They can tear us apart
Ill still live in your heart
If your spirit gives up
Dont surrender your love
And the world will survive
If we stand side by side
One day, hope will arrive
Now I must say goodbye
Dead silence will come to rescue me
When violence has took this world away
Dead silence, a fate we cant escape
Till death do us part in the end
Dead silence will come to rescue me
When violence has took this world away
Dead silence, no time to be afraid
My love, I will see you again
Dead silence will come to rescue me
When violence has took this world away
Dead silence, a fate we cant escape
Till death do us part in the end
Dead silence will come to rescue me
When violence has took this world away
Dead silence, no time to be afraid
My love, I will see you again
Dead silence
When violence
Dead silence
Dead silence
When violence
Dead silence
(Dead silence
When violence
Dead silence) |
Dont wait for a knight in shining armor
Your saviors reflected in the mirror
These flowers have grown from bloodstains on the ground
Go rake them leaves off your grass and my grave
The fact is, everyone bleeds when they shave
Theres no use, so dont deny were just the same
Well take it back
Broken dagger! Southern swagger!
Voices of violence, voices of violence
Well take it back
Broken dagger! Southern swagger!
Voices of violence, voices of violence
These cowboys will ride off in the sunset
Once their toys have turned another profit
Backfire, these smoking guns will never rest
Unleash the skeletons from the closet
These strangers are friends that youve never met
Theyll send them sympathies with a Hallmark card
Well take it back
Broken dagger! Southern swagger!
Voices of violence, voices of violence
Well take it back
Broken dagger! Southern swagger!
Voices of violence, voices of violence
Even after Im dead and buried
Ill still remember, Ill still remember
Even after Im dead and buried
Ill still remember, Ill still remember
Even after Im dead and buried
Ill come back fighting, Ill come back fighting!
Well take it back
Broken dagger! Southern swagger!
Voices of violence, voices of violence
Well take it back
Broken dagger! Southern swagger!
Voices of violence, voices of violence
Voices of violence will always be heard
Voices of violence, voices of violence
Voices of violence will always be heard
Voices of violence, voices of violence |
And when the clock strikes 12, tell me where you gonna be?
Cleaning up the mess we’ve made or watching your TV?
And if you have to ask, then you don’t have a clue
There’s snow in Arizona while they’re bombing in Beirut!
I hope some day… when I’m dead and gone
We learn to right… everything that’s wrong
With loving hands… turn sick to strong
Our time will tell… if life goes on, on, on, on, on
When the storm hits your front door
With a roar you can’t ignore
You run, run away!
But there’s no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night
You don’t got no chance to fight
‘Cause you’re too late!
So kiss your ass goodbye, mate!
It just don’t make no sense, there’s a million mouths to feed
We got military action over monetary need
And you can turn your back, or you can plant the seed
You can choose compassion over universal greed
I hope some day… when I’m dead and gone
We learn to right… everything that’s wrong
With loving hands… turn sick to strong
Our time will tell… if life goes on, on, on, on, on
When the storm hits your front door
With a roar you can’t ignore
You run, run away!
But there’s no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night
You don’t got no chance to fight
‘Cause you’re too late!
So kiss your ass goodbye, mate!
When the storm hits your front door
With a roar you can’t ignore
You run, run away!
But there’s no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night
You don’t got no chance to fight
‘Cause you’re too late!
So kiss your ass goodbye, mate!
Well, you can turn your back but it won’t go away
And you don’t look scared but you should be afraid
You can shut your mouth but you still have a say
But you just don’t care for tomorrow today
Well, you can turn your back
And you don’t look scared
You can shut your mouth
But you just don’t care
Well, no way, way
No way, no way, no way, no way!
When the storm hits your front door
With a roar you can’t ignore
You run, run away!
But there’s no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night
You don’t got no chance to fight
‘Cause you’re too late!
So kiss your ass goodbye, mate!
When the storm hits your front door
With a roar you can’t ignore
You run, run away!
But there’s no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night
You don’t got no chance to fight
‘Cause you’re too late!
So kiss your ass goodbye, mate! |
I never bite off more than I can chew
But then she came and bit me
I never bite off more than I can chew
But then she bit my leg
She said, dont wanna work, I wanna play
And live my life like it was Sunday
The only problem is that Sunday only comes
Now once a week and Im a freak but
Were breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me, why should we stay
A prisoner of today?
My bodys tired, my souls excited
And I wish that I was gifted
My bodys tired, my souls excited
And I wish I had some spunk
She said, I wanna run, I wanna hide
And leave this place just like it left me
The only problem is I need to find the balls
To follow through and thats the truth but
Were breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me, why should we stay
A prisoner of today?
Were breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me, why should I stay
A prisoner of today?
A prisoner of no time for one another
No time for one another
No time for one another
No time for one another
Cause this our time, this is our time
This is our time and our space
History I, history I
History I cant erase
Cause this our time, this is our time
This is our time and our space
History I, history I
History I cant erase
Were breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me, why should we stay
A prisoner of today?
Were breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me, why should I stay
A prisoner of today?
Were breaking up the city
No time for wasting away

A prisoner of no time for one another
No time for one another
No time for one another
No time for one another
No time for one another
No time for one another
Theres no time for one another!
Theres no time for one another! |
Tired of all the promises and never coming through
Its easy to pretend until they turn their back on you
And all the ones that bring you down, their colors werent that true
And lifes become a battle that you swore youd never lose
It dont matter what went wrong this time, dont matter what went right
Were always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
Dont wait here for that moment to arrive
Leave them all behind
Yeah, Im tired of all the promises and never coming through
Its easy to pretend until they turn their back on you
Yeah, and all the ones that bring you down, their colors werent that true
When you lose your confidence your mind plays tricks on you
It dont matter what went wrong this time, dont matter what went right
Were always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
We keep on getting stuck here all the time
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna catch that train, the words they say couldnt stop us if they tried
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna catch that train, I know some day
Everything is gonna fall in line
Ive been struck down and defeated every step along the way
Become your own worst enemy when nothing seems to change
You have to fail a thousand times before you get it straight
So catch me if you can cause I aint leaving this to fate
It dont matter what went wrong this time, dont matter what went right
Were always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
We keep on getting stuck here all the time
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna catch that train, the words they say couldnt stop us if they tried
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna catch that train, I know some day
Everything is gonna fall in line
Tired of all the promises and never coming through
Stop waiting for that moment to arrive
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna catch that train, the words they say couldnt stop us if they tried
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna catch that train, I know some day
Everything is gonna fall in line
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna leave them all behind
Were gonna catch that train, I know some day
Everything is gonna fall in line |
Vanities are only charity
And she makes donations at the Tiffany’s
Life is hard without a credit card to get by, get by
She sold her dreams for security
To a man that now she hardly ever sees
With a cold Martini in her hand, she don’t mind, don’t mind
So throw all your luxuries aside
You can’t take them with you when you die
Still when I look into your eyes
Theyre full of dollar signs
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail
You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh
If you desire a plastic happiness
Then climb the social ladder to the top, my friend
And don’t forget to thank the piggy bank in the sky, so high
So throw all your luxuries aside
You can’t take them with you when you die
Still when I look into your eyes
Theyre full of dollar signs
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail
You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail
You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh
2x
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail
You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail
You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh |
{Part I}
Lost in the wind
Without a direction
Possessed by perfection
In this land, if youre awake, youre the enemy
I run away
In search of redemption
A path to ascension
Like an elevator rising to the sun
I scream at the stars, but nobodys listening
Searching for the end
But the journeys the reason for existence
Its tearing at my heart
The secrets in the distance
Hard to find the truth in the dark
When youre begging for forgiveness
Scorched by the rays
My quest is relentless
My spirit is desperate
To find comfort in the arms of her remedy
Chasing a face that has no reflection
The lights of salvation
Disappear into the shadows of the sand
I scream at the stars, but nobodys listening
Searching for the end
But the journeys the reason for existence
Its tearing at my heart
The secrets in the distance
Hard to find the truth in the dark
When youre begging for forgiveness
Im begging for forgiveness
Yeah!
Chase my shadow to the sun
Chase my shadow to the sun
I scream at the stars, but nobodys listening
Searching for the end
But the journeys the reason for existence
Its tearing at my heart
The secrets in the distance
Hard to find the truth in the dark
When youre begging for forgiveness
Im begging for forgiveness
{Part II}
Somewhere else the Earth turns round
Softly in the sky, so sound
Wallowing away
Wallowing away
Comfort in the grace Ive found
Circling a distant star
Constellation drifts apart
Falling into phase
Falling into phase
Far beyond the shapeless heart
Somewhere else the Earth turns round
Softly in the sky, so sound
Wallowing away
Wallowing away
Comfort in the grace Ive found |
Twisted tongues will place you in their category
Face to face, you’ll hear them tell a different story
Loose lips may sink ships, but honesty’s forever
Eyes of envy try to cut and try to sever
Cowards that hide behind their words
Don’t care whose feelings will get hurt
Beware the voice without a face
That’s hidden underneath the…
Cover of cowardice!
Can’t you see them?!
Covered in cowardice!
Can’t you hear them?!
Beware the voice without a face
That’s hidden underneath the…
Cover of cowardice!
Can’t you see them?!
Covered in cowardice!
Can’t you hear them?!
Cowards that hide behind their words
Don’t care whose feelings will get hurt
Their eyes are blinded by their rage
Beware the voice without a face
When you’re insecure, they’ll find the fuel to start a fire
They’re bitter pricks with only hatred to inspire
Level heads prevail, revenge won’t make it better
Trust your instinct like you trust what’s in the mirror
Cowards that hide behind their words
Don’t care whose feelings will get hurt
Beware the voice without a face
That’s hidden underneath the…
Cover of cowardice!
Can’t you see them?!
Covered in cowardice!
Can’t you hear them?!

Oh my girl, youre so hot when you walk you melt snow
And now the disco has finally grown old
Lets buy back our souls
So lets see, we got five bucks between you and me
My mental dishes are finally clean
So clean are we
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Intermissions a mission on its own
Intermissions a mission on its own
Now here, seems our wax wings have melted away
Oh, and weve only been here for one day
My faith fades away
So dont be a gray cloud when theres none in the sky
Weve found theres no hidden treasure to find
At least we tried
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Intermissions a mission on its own
So cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Grab your suitcase, we dont have time to fold
, I think we dont have time to fold
There is no doubt, you throw your inbox out
I said, there is no doubt, you throw your inbox out
I said, there, there is no doubt, you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt, you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt, you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt, you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt, you throw your inbox...
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Intermissions a mission on its own
So cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Grab your suitcase, we dont have time to fold
, I think we dont have time to fold
We dont have no time to fold
We dont have no time to fold
We dont have no time to fold
Said, we dont have no time to fold |
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares
Till its too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray
Youre somewhere safe
Where transfixed on a pendulum sky
Watch another tank of gasoline run dry
A death stare from a cold, dead eye
As youre chopping up the carrot
Sharpening their knives
Dont blink, keep your eyes on the prize
While you rip me into pieces
Cut me down to size
Dont dare, try to keep it inside
Cause the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry
Just when you thought youve seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares
Till its too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray
Youre somewhere safe
Beat up, put the slate go the grind
Another rocket launcher going off inside my mind
Tight cuffs only hold me tight
Every thought about the future
Leaves me terrified
Im sick of the same old lies
Why dont you talk about your feelings?
Who gives a shit bout mine?
Death grips got a hold of my side
Cause the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry
Just when you thought youve seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares
Till its too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray
Youre somewhere safe
Oh we got a time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Youre watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry
Youre watching the time bomb ticking away inside
Everybody needs a little help
When the world is blind
Youre watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry
Youre watching the time
Youre watching the time
Youre watching the time
Youre watching the time
Youre watching the time
Youre watching the time
Youre watching the time
Youre watching the time
Youre watching the time |
Its up to you!
This aint no TV show
You watch my head explode
Ten thousand hours everyday
No time to be afraid
Chase up the rattle snakes
Dont let your fear control your fate
The ghost of self denial
It whispers from the grave
The road you cant rely on
Is a risk that you must take
Im runnnin across the tracks,
Oh, Im runnin across the tracks,
Pullin the blindfolds back
All we did in life
Im runnin across the tracks
Oh, runnin across the tracks
Were gonna escape this trap
Gotta get a life
Stuck in this prison cell
Just like a criminal
I count the years that went to waste
If this road goes to Hell
Im right back where I fell
Made a career from my mistakes
The ghost of self denial
It whispers from the grave
The road you cant rely on
Could be your saving grace
And every step that I aim to take
And every leg that I have to break
And everyday that Id pray for you,
At least I can say that we made it through,
The stars aligned
The stars aligned
And words just cant explain the struggle of the dead mans fight
A dead mans fight
And silver spoons cant buy the wisdom of a hard earns life
A hard earns life
Every step that I aim to take
And every leg that I have to break
And everyday that I pray for you,
And I hope that you make it through
Yeah, I hope that you make it through
Its up to you!
Every step that I aim to take
And every leg that I have to break
And everyday that I pray for you,
At least I can say that we made it through
The stars aligned |
Once there was a nation here, now there is no more
Once we fought to change our fears but now this is our war
This is our war
This is our war
Wash your mind out, wheres your morals?
How many people have to live this sorrow?
Life should not be begged or borrowed
How many really wanna change tomorrow?
Were still playing the prideful game
As we profile the enemy that we create
Were still playing the prideful game
With the cards on the table, in the end were all the same
Wheres the compassion in the world today?
Yeah, were all the same
Until we find another way this is our war
Once there was a nation here, now there is no more
Once we fought for change arm in arm but now this is our war
Divisive words from ivory towers
Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers
Countless fools and reckless cowards
Rally the people in the quest for power
Were still playing the prideful game
As we profile the enemy that we create
Yeah, were still playing the prideful game
With the cards on the table, in the end were all the same
Wheres the compassion in the world today?
Yeah, were all the same
Until we find another way this is our war
Once there was a nation here, now there is no more
Once we fought for change arm in arm but now this is our war
Is this the land of segregation? Is this a place that we call home?
Dont let the old style generation carry the flag for you and me no more
This is our war
This is our war
Were into the red, were into the red
And as it burns the fire spreads
Were under the threat, were under the threat
Will it still burn tomorrow?
Once there was a nation here, now there is no more
Once we fought to change our fears, but now this is our war
Once there was a nation here, now there is no more
Once we fought for change arm in arm but now this is our war
Is this the land of segregation? Is this a place that we call home?
Dont let the old style generation carry the flag for you and me no more
Once there was a nation divided, now this is our war
Once we stand embraced arm in arm we stand for something more |
Crooked minds have gone astray
Have they never learned from yesterday?
Only a fool would wear the crown
One day the kids will tear it down
Yeah
Cant you see the clocks are ticking away?
They try to fit more hours into the day
To see that you was crunching numbers away
Were running out breath just to keep up the pace
And when did the revolver start the race?
When did the revolver start the race?
Accelerated architecture creates
A manufactured lifestyle for the deranged
They swallow up the green and build up the gray
And let tomorrows kids dispose of today
And when do you think the roof will bottom out?
When do you think the roof will bottom out?
Crooked minds under gray skies
They cant live till something dies
Till something dies
Crooked minds aint satisfied
Till the ground touches the sky
Touches the sky
Cemetery statue stare into space
Sucked into a social media craze
Theyre looking for an answer to explain
The reason why disaster strikes again
A picture perfect family sits at the lake
Swimming in a sea of mechanical waste
And cant they see a tragedy awaits?
Cant they see a tragedy awaits?
Crooked minds under gray skies
They cant live till something dies
Till something dies
Crooked minds aint satisfied
Till the ground touches the sky
Touches the sky
Well tear it down
Cauterize these blood-shot eyes
Tangled in their power lines
Tear the ground up with their lives
Raise the caskets in the sky
Someday soon well realise
Nothings left for you and I
Nothings left for you and I
Crooked minds have gone astray
Have they never learned from yesterday?
Only a fool would wear the crown
One day the kids will tear it down
Crooked minds under gray skies
They cant live till something dies
Till something dies
Crooked minds aint satisfied
Till the ground touches the sky
Touches the sky
Cauterize these butchered eyes
Tangled in their power lines
Tear the ground up with their lives
Raise the caskets in the sky
Someday soon well realise
Nothing lives till something dies
Till something dies
Till something dies |
Hello, hello, hello my darling, have we reached the end?
Cause when the stitches fall apart were hanging by a thread
Hello, hello, hello my darling, some things never change
When our words are dipped in gasoline, our love goes up in flames
I tried so hard to get behind your mental barricade
But every time it leaves me feeling damaged, torn, and frayed
Hanging by a thread
Hanging by a thread
When you break my heart, I fall apart til you stitch me up again
Im tired of all the drama that unravels in your head
Well, its easy to get tangled up when your world is torn to shreds
And every time you spit at me, some day you will regret
An ounce of insecurity is worth a pound of lead
Hanging by a thread
Hanging by a thread
When you break my heart, I fall apart til you stitch me up again
Hanging by a thread
Hanging by a thread
Cmon patch me up, or cut me loose, cause these rags are turning red
Cmon patch me up, or cut me loose, cause Im hanging by a thread
Im torn to shreds
Hello, hello, hello my darling, have we reached the end?
Cause when the stitches fall apart were hanging by a thread
For all the times weve hurt each other, with all the things weve said
Well, its hard to hold this olive branch with a gun against my head
Hanging by a thread
Hanging by a thread
When you break my heart, I fall apart til you stitch me up again
Hanging by a thread
Hanging by a thread
Cmon patch me up, or cut me loose, cause these rags are turning red
Cmon patch me up, or cut me loose, cause Im hanging by a thread |
Hey!
Another tragedy has set the scene
For conscious to be revealed
And all the February
February winds are howling
Dont tell me were adversaries
Dont tell me were sworn enemies
Cause we all need necessary
Means to protect what we love
An ocean lies between us
Sufferings a constant we never see
Behind our sanctuary
Sanctuary walls so easy to breathe
Where is our empathy?
Has empathy been lost while drifting at sea?
We are the refugees
The violent will survive on hopes of...
Dont tell me were adversaries
Dont tell me were sworn enemies
Cause we all need necessary
Means to protect what we love
Light up your broken matches
Open your hearts to action
We all need second chances
What reason to help but for love?
February winds
No we are not adversaries
We were not born enemies
We all need necessary
Means to protect what we love
Light up your broken matches
Open your hearts to action
We all need second chances
What reason to help but for love?
We are not adversaries
We are not sworn enemies
We all need necessary
Means to protect what we love
February winds
The message that we send
Will come back in the end |
A slap in the face
And I cant erase
These things that you say
Dont make it all okay, its not okay
When push comes to shove
Ill put on the gloves
Intentions are cruel
I aint nobodys fool you know it hurts..
My pride, step aside
Cause I dont need your..
Sympathy! Wont get the best of me
Misery! Thats what youre giving me
Sympathy! Its just like trickery
Breaking me down
A fistful of lies
Dressed up in disguise
And make no mistake
I know theyre all so fake, theyre all so fake
My self-righteous friend
I just cant pretend
Your words are the truth
Sincere only when they suit you, it hurts..
My pride, step aside
Cause I dont need your..
Sympathy! Wont get the best of me
Misery! Thats what your giving me
Sympathy! Its just like trickery
Breaking me down
Sympathy! Wont get the best of me
Misery! This shit is killing me
Sympathy! Its just like trickery
Breaking me down
Breaking me down
Sympathy! Wont get the best of me
Misery! Thats what your giving me
Sympathy! Its just like trickery
Breaking me down
Sympathy! Wont get the best of me
Misery! This shit is killing me
Sympathy! Its just like trickery
Breaking me down
Breaking me down
Breaking me down |
We spent a life together
That should have lasted forever
But now its time to sail on
So take this anchor from my heart
So we can finally drift apart
Before we drown in sorrow
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
I gave you sanctuary
Under the sun we lived carefree
I tried so hard to love you
But then you turned your back on me
Your good intentions turned to greed
And now its good to know that you have been
Swallowed up by the ocean
Swallowed up by the ocean
Swallowed up by the ocean
Swallowed up by the ocean
Swallowed up
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
The bluest skies turned into grey
Through tortured eyes I watched you change
Our paradise went up in flames
And though I cried a thousand times
You didnt hear the rising tide
Theres nowhere left to hide since you have been
Your devastation took its toll
As the waves came crashing to the coast
This sinking ship Im taking back from your control
It felt so good to cross my arms
And renounce my faith in mankind
How could you ever be so blind
To think that youd survive?
Swallowed up by the ocean
Swallowed up by the ocean
I hope you know that nothing matters now that you have been
Swallowed up by the ocean
Swallowed up by the ocean
I hope you know this ship has finally come to rest
I hope you know this ship has finally come to rest
I hope you know some day this ship will be your end |
Horses and chariots, churches and states
Devotion turns dangerous when armed with rules of faith
Prisoners and patriots, angels and saints
If minds are persuaded enough compassion turns to hate
So when the tide comes to bury us, together we must stay
Dont let their horses and chariots drag our love away
No!
Borders and boundary signs drawn by red tape
Those who colour outside of the lines define the human race
Warlords and suffering eyes, soldiers and slaves
The side of the fence that we climb determines whos afraid
So when the tide comes to bury us, together we must stay
Dont let their horses and chariots drag our love away
Until we swallow our pride our hearts will collide
And the skies of hysteria will come rain down on you
Cleanse the salt from the hands who divide our world in two
So when the tide comes to bury us
Were lucky to live while so many die
Dont let the horses and chariots
If only we saw the view from their eyes
Until we swallow our pride
Weve chosen a faith, weve chosen a side
Until we swallow our pride our hearts will collide |
Oh, I had a feeling buried inside
Covered beneath a blanket of pride
Oh, I couldnt tell you how my heart felt inside
In so little time
Stand up and run, stand up and run
Stand up and run, stand up and run
Oh, into my arms
Chasing the bright lights, this city got old
You walked out of my life and into the cold
Its hard to imagine that youd never come home
Forever alone
Stand up and run, stand up and run
Stand up and run, stand up and run
Into my arms
Stand up and run, stand up and run
Stand up and run, stand up and run
Oh, into my heart
Cant you see there is no logic to love
And were lost just like the stars up above
If Id only known how youd make me feel
I would kiss the ground that touches your heel
After all these years of being apart
Dont let reason try to tear us apart
If the compass breaks, then follow your heart
And I hope it leads you right back into my arms
If the time has past youll still make it last
And I hope this leads you right back into my arms
Oh, into my arms
Oh, I had a feeling buried inside |
This heart dont count on the wicked
These hands dont fight at all
This mind dont do what its told to
These eyes dont cry at all
Dont cry at all, hey-oh… hey-oh…
These eyes dont cry at all, hey-oh… hey-oh…
This heart dont count on the wicked
We face this world alone
When all they want is to break you
Turn anger into hope
Within this city of villains
I walk these streets alone
Where everyone is a stranger
Their eyes turn me to stone
Turn me to stone, hey-oh… hey-oh…
Your eyes turn me to stone, hey-oh… hey-oh…
This heart dont count on the wicked
We face this world alone
When all they want is to break you
Turn anger into hope
Im telling you, tonight I swear to tear out these nails
From the cross Ive bared for giving you control of me
This heart dont count on the wicked
This anger turns to hope, it turns to hope
Calling from the mountain tops
Rain is falling from the sky above
They surround you with their darkest thoughts
Til you drown you in pessimistic talk
You say you dont care, if the atom drops
You say you dont care, if the world is lost
Theyll never break you if youre strong enough
Theyll never change you, If you turn your anger into hope
This heart dont count on the wicked
We face this world alone
When all they want is to break you
Turn anger into hope
Im telling you, tonight I swear to tear out these nails
From the cross Ive bared for giving you control of me
This heart dont count on the wicked
This anger turns to hope
We turn it to hope
We turn it to hope
We turn it to hope
We turn it to hope
We turn it to hope
Anger turns to hope!
We turn it to hope
We turn it to hope
We turn it to hope
We turn it to hope
Anger turns to hope! |
Man Alive!
Dont stand aside!
While people make demands
At first theyll take your liberties
Then tie them round your hand
Man Alive!
Dont stand aside!
While people make demands
When time goes by some day youll find
Their words are your command
Well the bloodsucker society, is looking for recruits
I took a sip of their sobriety, it doesnt taste that good
Well at first youre fine with working overtime
10 years go by till youre caught up in the grind
And cant escape the fact your youth is fading fast
These times wont last and once theyre gone they dont come back
They try to fill you with anxiety, until you bite the hook
They drop a line of notoriety, they got a big chequebook
Oh theyll turn you blind for a nickel and a dime
Dont waste your time with their simple frame of mind
You cant escape the fact your youth is fading fast
These times wont last and once theyre gone they dont come back
Attention all personnel!
Stand single file, resistance is futile!
Were gonna raise your hopes up
Just to knock them down
You got a bright bright future
If you can shut your mouth
And if you work the front lines
To keep us safe and sound
You wont be compensated
Until youre in the ground
So dont waste a single breath
On what society expects
If history dont lie
Theyre gonna take you for a ride until you die! |
The song has born a brand new day
Conscience has been cast away
Evil has been blessed with praise
Heroes end up in their graves
So who will be our savior now?
Theyve shot your angels to the ground
Its a lonely road to absolution we must walk alone
Its a lonely road to absolution we must walk alone
We cant take back, the days weve borrowed
No more time to kill tomorrow
No more time to kill tomorrow |
Forced conversation
Hidden agenda
You think were stupid, how dare you
The rug has not been pulled
Over our eyes, you fool
We can see right through
Tip-toeing villain
Eyes in the ceiling
Your false intentions have worn thin
But weve been in your room
And in your closet too
Weve got one on you
Lies make it better
Lies are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies to wake up to
Lies from the altar
Lies make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed, lies
Inside an office
A fallen angel
A smiling Buddha with snake eyes
Creates the latest trends
And I just cant pretend
Dont call me your friend
Lies make it better
Lies are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies to wake up to
Lies from the altar
Lies make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed
Lies they make it better
Lies they are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies to wake up to
Lies from the altar
Lies they make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed, lies!
Lies will come back to hunt you
Bulletproof your limousine
Lies will come back to haunt you
Hit and run, a broken dream
Lies make it better
Lies are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies to wake up to
Lies from the altar
Lies make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed
Lies they make it better
Lies they are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies to wake up to
Lies from the altar
Lies they make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed, lies |
Alive!
And right before your eyes
Its easy to think twice
A choice can change your life
Angry fists, angry eyes
Thought youd take them by surprise
And unleash all your demons upon them
With your guns and your knives
Left them fighting to survive
Youre the villain but you played the victim
Never took no advice
Did you ever realize
That your violence had taken your virtue
Well, you cant wash away
The mistakes of yesterday
When the boys wearing blue come to greet you
And I can hear the sirens still calling your name
And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
Did you stop and regret?
When the voice inside your head
Got so quiet that youd hear a pin drop
Did you still like the view
When their guns were aimed at you
Screaming Out of the house with your hands up!
Now you wait in the line
For the prison bell to chime
Singing I fought the law but the law won
When youre done serving time
You can look them in the eyes
While you count all the live that youve broken
And I can hear the sirens still calling your name
And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
And I can see the flashing lights take you away
And now the tears are rolling down your mothers face
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
When love was still around
When love was still around
Some day youll see the life that you turned down
Alive!
And I can hear the sirens still calling your name
And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
And I can see the flashing lights take you away
And now the tears are rolling down your mothers face
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
When love was still around
When love was still around
Some day youll see the life that you turned down
Alive!
And right before your eyes
Its easy to think twice
A choice can change your life |
Won’t you stop, take a breath
Find a moment to reflect
On the pure and simple choices that we fail to see?
From the worst to the best
From the East Coast to the West
On a never-ending quest to end our misery
So cut to the chase, it’s time to escape
Before it’s too late
Yeah, pick up the pace and catch up with fate
It’s slipping away
So get off my road, no, I won’t be told
‘Cause I got my own definition of destiny
Yeah, take back control and don’t let it go
The future’s unknown, definition of destiny
Definition of destiny
Punch the clock to a own
While our lives are put on hold
When did all our childhood dreams begin to disappear?
Well, a long time ago
We had passion, we had goals
Why is life so set in stone, it doesn’t have to be?
So cut to the chase, it’s time to escape
Before it’s too late
Yeah, pick up the pace, and catch up with fate
It’s slipping away
So get off my road, no, I won’t be told
‘Cause I got my own definition of destiny
Yeah, take back control and don’t let it go
The future’s unknown, definition of destiny
Definition of destiny
So get off my road, no, I won’t be told
‘Cause I got my own definition of destiny
Yeah, take back control and don’t let it go
The future’s unknown, definition of destiny
Definition of destiny
Along the way, we lost our way
So will you change or stay the same?
So in between reality
And fantasy is destiny
So cut to the chase, it’s time to escape
Before it’s too late
Yeah, pick up the pace, and catch up with fate
It’s slipping away
So get off my road, no, I won’t be told
‘Cause I got my own definition of destiny
Yeah, take back control and don’t let it go
The future’s unknown, definition of destiny
Definition of destiny
So get off my road, no, I won’t be told
The future’s unknown
‘Cause I got my own
Yeah, I got my own

Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to question the hand that I hold close
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to silence the words that you fear most
Dont ever let go, dont ever let go
Are we destined to hit the ground below?
Dont ever let go, dont ever let go
Were at the end of a burning tightrope
Now Im waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
Its a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
Cause you told me that youd never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
Youre the only one Id follow til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together, baby, dont think twice again
Together I know, together I know
That wed burn like a rockets afterglow
Together I know, together I know
We could conquer the stars beyond this world
We let it all go, we let it all go
Im just a voice on a broken radio
We let it all go, we let it all go
We got lost in the constellations
Im still waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
Its a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
Cause you told me that youd never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
Youre the only one Id follow til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together, baby, dont think twice again
Yeah!
You told me that youd never be afraid of heights
You told me that youd never be afraid of heights
You told me we should never be afraid of heights again
You told me that youd never be afraid of heights
You told me that youd never be afraid of heights
If we fall, we fall together, baby, dont think twice again
Dont be afraid to walk this tightrope anymore
Cause if were brave well never fall
Dont be afraid to walk this tightrope anymore
Cause youll be safe here in my arms
Wherever I go, wherever I go
Im just a voice on a broken radio
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I know well burn like a rockets afterglow
Dont ever let go, dont ever let go
Girl are we destined to hit the ground below?
Dont ever let go, dont ever let go
Did we get lost in the constellations? |
Well, I’m scared of my reflection
Is it mine or is it yours?
And I swear I hear the knockin’
But there’s no one at the door
Don’t think I’m losing my perspective
‘Cause I know one thing for sure
They’ve been watching, they’ve been listening
Every whisper, every word
Your sudden movements, sudden movements
Gonna give us all away
No sudden movements, sudden movements
Or they’ll blow us all away
Terrified by information
Who’s the black sheep of the herd?
I am the guardian of angels
And they’ll get what they deserve
So lock your children in the basement
Keep a rifle by the door
Don’t be afraid of my intentions
‘Cause I’m more afraid of yours
Your sudden movements, sudden movements
Gonna give us all away
No sudden movements, sudden movements
Or they’ll blow us all away
Your sudden movements, sudden movements
Gonna give us all away
No sudden movements, sudden movements
Or they’ll blow us all away
Blow us all away
Blow us all away
Your sudden movements, sudden movements
Gonna give us all away
No sudden movements, sudden movements
Or they’ll blow us all away
Your sudden movements, sudden movements
Gonna give us all away
No sudden movements, sudden movements
Or they’ll blow us all away |
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
Theres more to the picture
Than meets the eye
Hey hey, my my
Out of the blue and into the black
You pay for this, but they give you that
And once youre gone, you cant come back
When youre out of the blue and into the black
The King is gone but hes not forgotten
This is the story of a Johnny Rotten
Its better to burn out than to fade away
The king is gone but hes not forgotten
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
Theres more to the picture
Than meets the eye
Hey hey, my my
Hey hey, my my
Hey hey, my my
Hey hey, my my
Hey hey, my my |
A devil in a midnight mass
Who preyed behind stained glass
A memory of Sunday class
Resurrected from the past
I was told that the world wouldnt believe me
In the cold, sinners world, tried to see them
Hold your breath then count to four
Pinky swears dont work no more
Footsteps down the hallway floor
Getting closer to my door
I was alive, but now Im singin
for the rest of my life
for the rest of my life
till they find the knife
wont make it right
for the rest of my life
for the rest of my life
till they find the knife
wont make it right
for the rest of my life
till they find the knife
A devil in a midnight mass
The temple he trespassed
Attempt a dozen hits
Pulls a serpent from the sands
I was told that the world wouldnt believe me
In the cold, sinners world, tried to see them
Mother nature, Sister fear
A place called Hell is close to here
Put my trust in God that day
Not the man that taught his way
I was alive, but now Im singin
for the rest of my life
for the rest of my life
till they find the knife
wont make it right
for the rest of my life
for the rest of my life
till they find the knife
wont make it right
for the rest of my life
till they find the knife
Whisper, whisper, dont make a sound
Your bed is made, and its in the ground
Whisper, whisper, dont make a sound
Your bed is made, and its in the ground
Whisper, whisper, dont make a sound
Your bed is made, and its in the ground
Whisper, whisper, dont make a sound
Your bed is made, and its in the ground
Whisper, whisper, dont make a sound
Your bed is made, and its in the ground
Whisper, whisper, dont make a sound
Your bed is made, and its in the ground |
Do it again, she said to me
So I nailed my hand to the baseboard floor
Hysterically, laughing at me
She begged the question and I begged for more
Now I water the thorn you rammed
Deep into my side, watch it fertilize
Cause you shoved your finger right down my throat
And you made me puke up all of my pride
Pop the beach balls, burn the photos
C-4 your safe and youll never grow old
So get out of dodge and become a thought
Cause once you’re a thought, hopefully youre forgot
If we break up, don’t write a song
That would drag my name through the shit, the mud
Cause I’ve seen some solid swimmers who drowned
When you unleashed the dam and caused the flood
But with free choice there comes free will
And I’m so happy she decided to leave
Cause now I’m alone, the demons come home
And now my plan is rolling up its sleeve
Pop the beach balls, burn the photos
C-4 your safe and youll never grow old
So get out of dodge and become a thought
Cause once you’re a thought, hopefully youre forgot
Pop the beach balls, burn the photos
C-4 your safe and youll never grow old
So get out of dodge and become a thought
Cause once you’re a thought, hopefully youre forgot
Because my morale’s begun to decay
And all my friends have the same thing to say
They say that good times have faded away
They say that they’re all worried about me
Cause I feed birds in the cemetery
And I rake leaves off the grass in my grave
Because my memory lane is now paved
My memory lane is now paved
My memory lane is now paved
My memory lane is now paved
But now my memory’s back and there’s nothing wrong!
There’s nothing wrong!
There’s nothing wrong!
There’s nothing wrong!
There’s nothing wrong!
There’s nothing wrong!
There’s nothing wrong!
There’s nothing wrong! |
Put me on an aeroplane
A million miles away
Shes opened up her book of hate
And tore a brand new page
Tonight Ill find a wishing well
Tomorrows a new day
Tonight Ill find a wishing well, before its too late…
Show me the way, show me the way!
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?
Show me the way, show me the way!
Spent a whole lifetime running away
She questioned my ability
To learn from my mistake
I said shed need a guillotine
To put me in my place
Tonight Ill write my eulogy, before I fade away
Tonight Ill write my eulogy, so dont be afraid…
Show me the way! Show me the way!
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?
Show me the way! Show me the way!
Spent a whole lifetime running away
And every time I close my eyes, ive lost another day
Show me the way! Show me the way
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?
The waves came crashing, down so fast
That when the storm was over, the sky turned black
And now I pray for sunshine! I pray for sunshine
I pray youll help me to escape!
Show me the way, show me the way!
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?
Show me the way, show me the way!
Spent a whole lifetime running away
And every time I close my eyes ive lost another day
Show me the way, show me the way!
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?
And every time we close our eyes weve lost another day
Every time we close our eyes, our dreams will have to wait |
Swimming in the dark, were bound to drift apart
And I just cant go on pretending were in love
We play with matches in the rain but never learn
We try to light it but the fire never burns
You thought that love was just a casting call
Well, it’s our turn to quit before the curtain falls
Dont need to pretend to love me, you dont need to pretend to want me
You dont need to pretend to need me, we just never were meant to
Am I wrong?
Am I right?
Oh, have I lost my mind? Oh, lost my mind
Now I dance around her heart like an actor plays the part
I hit the stage and I get blinded by the light
I read the script but I just cant recite the lines
Dont need to pretend to love me, we just never were meant to ever be
You dont need to pretend to love me, we just never were meant to
Am I wrong?
Am I right?
Oh, have I lost my mind?
Am I wrong?
Am I right?
Oh, have I lost my mind?
Dont need to pretend to love me, you dont need to pretend to want me
You dont need to pretend to need me, we just never were meant to
Am I wrong?
Am I right?
Oh, have I lost my mind?
Dont need to pretend to love me, we just never were meant to ever be
You dont need to pretend to love me, we just never were meant to
Am I wrong?
Am I right?
Oh, have I lost my mind?
So get on with your life cause were just wasting time
Am I wrong?
Am I right?
Oh, have I lost my mind? |
You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt and Im hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you and thats worse
Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldntve fallen in love with?
I cant see much of a future
Unless we find out whats to blame, what a shame
And we wont be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same
Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldntve fallen in love with?
You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt and Im hurt
And if I start a commotion
Ill only end up losing you and thats worse
Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldntve fallen in love with?
Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldntve fallen in love with?
Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldntve fallen in love with?
Fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love with someone
You shouldntve fallen in love with? |
Lay down, lay down with your drunken fools
I never thought you could be so cruel
And all the rumours I heard were true
You had another man in our room
Peel off the banner just from the wounds
I still have plenty of scars to prove
I’m sick of covering up the truth
So now I’m taking it back from you
From the start, drew a target on my heart
So you can throw your poisoned darts
You’ll never kill, never kill
You left a trail right from the start
Of bloody nails and broken hearts
And you keep tearing them apart
With bloody nails and broken hearts
Now I know fairy tales don’t come true
And Cinderella don’t fit the shoe
Some day I’ll get back the love I gave
Some day you’ll pay for the mess you’ve made
You left a trail right from the start
Of bloody nails and broken hearts
And I bet you thought I’d miss your bitter kiss
(Your bitter kiss, your bitter kiss
I’ll never miss your bitter kiss
Your bitter kiss, your bitter kiss
I’ll never miss your bitter kiss)
So now I’m taking it back from you
Yeah now I’m taking it back from you
You left a trail right from the start
Of bloody nails and broken hearts
And I bet you thought I’d miss your bitter kiss |
Our first stop is in Bogotá
To check Colombian fields
The natives smile and pass along
A sample of their yield
Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
Golden Acapulco nights
Then Morocco, and the East
Fly by morning light
Were on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand Express
Well hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best
Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon
We burn the midnight oil
The fragrance of Afghanistan
Rewards a long days toil
Pulling into Kathmandu
Smoke rings fill the air
Perfumed by a Nepal night
The Express gets you there
Were on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand Express
Well hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best
Were on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand Express
Well hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best
Yes, were on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand Express
Well hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best |
Oh this heart was made of gold
Now its blackened like a coal burns red
I need to find a role model
Like a need a hole in my head
Dont need to change the time honey
Im already half past dead
Strike me til I break, then turn me into flames
Cause round and around, you cant go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
I wake up, find again my shadow haunts me til the end
Cause round and around, you cant go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
Oh the darkest black her soul
But her lips were painted ocean green
And once I drank her potion
A witch came back to haunt my dreams
Dont need to change the time honey
Im already half past dead
Strike me til I break, then turn me into flames
Cause round and around, you cant go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
I wake up, find again my shadow haunts me til the end
Cause round and around, you cant go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
Round and around you cant go down
til your face dont match your name
And I cant stop the rain
Thats falling down with no escape
Years go by, you lose your mind
And your face dont match your name
I curse the world in vain
My stubborn heart will never change
Round and around, you cant go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
Round and around, you cant go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
Round and around, you cant go down
Until your face dont match your name
Round and around, you cant go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
Round and around, you cant go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
I wake up, find again my shadow haunts me til the end
Cause round and around, you cant go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
Round and around, you cant go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
Cause round and around, you cant go down
Until your face dont match your name |
Another F again I fret
Another cocky hypocrite
Another dirty look from a passer by
Kiddie porn and lunatics
And all the things that make me sick
Another suicide from a sad rock star
So get the fuck out of my face
And disappear without a trace
You annoying little prick
Ill reach into my bag of tricks
And pull out a hand grenade
Your machoism fades away
But I will not pull out the pin
Cause thats mean!
With judgment day not far way
Youre surfing all your days away
And I dont know who to blame
Is it me or is it you?
Violent death and viruses
And lack thereof, of consciousness
Another shitty song on the radio
Ill kick the teeth out of your face
I killed the cat theres no more chase
You push on me Ill push you back
So come on girls, lets go attack
Cause this is it Ive had my fill
Dont find yourself inside a pill
But I will not pull out my gun
Cause I dont own one!
Why cant you just let me be, said
Why cant you just let me be, said
Why cant you just let me be, said
Why cant you just let me be
So why cant you just let me be, said
Why cant you just let me be
Why cant you just let me be
Why cant you let me |

Your machoism fades away

With judgment day they got away
Youre surfing all your days away

Violent death and viruses

Why cant you let me be?
Said, why cant you just let me be!?
Why cant you just let me be!?
Why cant you just let me be!?
Why cant you let me!? |
And you, and you came to me like my alarm
I carved your first and last name in my arm
Now I only wear black so maybe then they will see
Im just a shadow of what Im not supposed to be
You fuel my fire with your laughs and with your frowns
You call me a freak and join the circus, you clown
I heard a man say that I do it for attention
I never thought of that but now that you mention
No I never drank blood before but I look like I might
With my face painted white
For just this once I wish youd all just hear what I have to say
For just this once I wish youd all just turn and fade away
For just this once I wish youd all just hear what I have to say
For just this once I wish youd all just turn and fade away
But, but, but! But now the days are different from a way back when
So hard to be yourself when youre 4+10
The very first time I feel kind of special
My mom says be normal yet she just got a facial
When my parents go away on their trip to Club Med
Then Ill join your tour and be a real deadhead
I heard a girl say that I do it for attention
I never thought of that but now that you mention
Spent my last ten bucks today on black hair dye
You know dye rhymes with die
For just this once I wish youd all just turn and fade away
For just this once I wish youd all just hear what I have to say
For just this once I wish youd all just turn and fade away
For just this once I wish youd all just
Just hear what I have to say
And just hear what I have to say
And just hear what I have to say
And just hear what I have to say
A psycho killer, well quest-ce que cest?
It doesnt matter anyway-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
It matters anyway
A psycho killer, well quest-ce que cest?
It doesnt matter anyway-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
It matters anyway
A psycho killer, well quest-ce que cest?
It doesnt matter anyway
It matters anyway |
Temperatures rising
Fever is high
Cant see no future
Cant see no sky
My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead
Cold turkey has got me on the run
My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
I cant see no body
Leave me alone
My eyes are wide open
I cant get to sleep
One thing Im sure of
Im in at the deep freeze
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Im praying to someone
To free me again
Oh Ill be a good boy
Oh please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey has got me on the run |
And when the clock strikes twelve
Tell me where youre gonna be
Cleaning up the mess we made
Or watching your TV
And if you have to ask
Then you dont have a clue
Theres snow in Arizona
While theyre bombing in Beirut
I hope some day
When Im dead and gone
We learn to right
Everything thats wrong
With loving hands
Turn sick to strong
Our time will tell
If life goes on, on, on, on, on
When the storm hits your front door
With a roar you cant ignore
You run, run away
But theres no place to hide, mate
When the days turn into night
You dont got no chance to fight
Cause youre too late
So kiss your ass goodbye, mate
It just dont make no sense
Theres a million mouths to feed
We got military action
Over monetary need
And you can turn your back
Or you can plant the seed
You can choose compassion
Over universal greed
x2
And you can turn your back
But it wont go away
And you dont look scared
But you should be afraid
You can shut your mouth
But you still have a say
And you just dont care
For tomorrow, today
You can turn your back
And you dont look scared
You can shut your mouth
And you just dont care
Well no way, way
No way, no way, no way, no way

She was the one who would make me feel so fine
And then she walked up to my windshield
With a quirky little smile I rolled down my window and asked her
Hey maybe you would like to have a cigarette with me
Then she gave me a quirky little look and I said, Okay
So we stepped outside and sat on the curb and then we had a little cigarette
And uh, well, the cars started honking their horns at us
But those horns became our symphony
And together we danced and laughed out loud
But she would always look at me and she would say
And I just care about the weather, whether or not
Whether it rains, whether or not the sun comes out
I just wanna share my point of view
Dont you wish your hair was made of glue?
And I said, I said, Yeah!
I said, Oh yeah!
And she went, Woo!
And hand in hand we went
There was a time
But now I wish Id rearrange my mind
Then Id crawl and hide inside your eyes
She said, Its good to have some change from time to time
So lets just leave this so called life be—hind
So I asked her a kind of stupid question
I said, You know what? Squeegee rhymes with ouiji
Are you supernatural?
Are you some kind of f-f-f-freak?
Are you a witch or something?
And she just started to laugh
And said, Well, heres a smoke and shut up
That just kinda made me realize and say
What the hell am I doing with you?
And she looked and me and she said, she said
Lets just sit and watch the masses, let them pass
Finger paint our face and fall in the grass
Theres so more, oh so much more to do
Dont you wish your hair was made of glue?
And I said, well, Yeah!
I said, Oh yeah!
And she went, Woo!
And hand in hand we went
There was a time
But now I wish Id rearrange my mind
Then Id crawl and hide inside your eyes
Its good to have some change from time to time
So lets just leave this so called life be—
Its good to change from time to time
Its good to change from time to time
Its good to change from time to time
She said, Its good to change from time to time
I thought you said that you swore youd never leave my side
You swore youd never leave my side
You swore youd never leave my side
You swore youd never leave my side |
Give it up now!
Hey, you!
I said no, I dont think that I wanna die
And right for this I need a reason why
When you humans act so funny and I need to fill my tummy
I tried, well I lied
I said no, I dont know why I act this way
Something seems to change from day to day
Im feeling kinda silly and my mood seems kinda fitting
I tried, I lied, but through the waves Ill find
But through the waves Ill find
And through the waves Ill find
Through the waves Ill find
Now through the waves Ill find
And through the waves Ill find
Oh! You! Woo!
And I dont feel like a man today
All good themes have been blown away
Im feeling kinda giddy and my mood seems kinda fitting
I tried, I lied, but through the waves Ill find
But through the waves Ill find
And through the waves Ill find
And through the waves Ill find
And through the waves Ill find
And through the waves Ill find
And through the waves Ill find
Ill find
Ill find
Ill find
Some peace of mind
Thats in you
And all the things you do
Ill ride you out, Ill ride you out
Ill ride you out, Ill ride you out
Ill ride you out, Ill ride you out
Ill ride you out, Ill ride you out
Ill ride you out |
Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
Id always walk home alone
So I became lifeless
Just like my telephone
Theres nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
Theres nothing to gain
But the days dont seem to change
Never played truth or dare
Id have to check my mirror
To see if Im still here
My parents had no clue
That I ate all my lunches
Alone in the bathroom
Theres nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
Theres nothing to gain
But the days dont seem to change
Theres nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
Theres nothing to gain
And I cant fight the pain
Teachers say its just a phase
When I grow up my children
Will probably do the same
Kids just love to tease
I know it put me under ground
At seventeen
Theres nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
Theres nothing to gain
But the days dont seem to change
Theres nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
Theres nothing to gain
And I cant fight the pain
Theres nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
Theres nothing to gain
My notebook will explain
Theres nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
Theres nothing to gain
And I just died today |
Well I used to be a little one
But now Im big and strong
Because I used to eat my greens
I used to get the snot beaten right outta me
And then Id go on home and scream
But still Ill fight you for everything you offer me
Ill fight you for everything that you say to me
Ill fight you for everything you offer me
And all your condescending ways
Because youre disrespecting me
Youre disrespecting me
Youre disrespecting me
Youre disrespecting me
Well I used to be a little kid
But now Im big and firm
Because I used to eat my greens
I used to get the snot beaten right outta me
And then Id go on home and scream
But still Ill fight you for everything you offer me
Ill fight you for everything that you say to me
Ill fight you for all the times you were knocking me
And all your condescending ways
Cause youre disrespecting me
Youre disrespecting me
Youre disrespecting me
Youre disrespecting me
Oh, I feel this way today
Said, I feel this way today
I said that I
I like you anyway, I like you anyway, I like you anyway
I like you anyway, I like you anyway, I like you anyway
I like you anyway, I like you anyway
I like you anyway, I like you anyway, I like you anyway
I like you anyway, I like you anyway, I like you anyway
I like you anyway, I like you anyway, I like you anyway
I said, I said, I said I like you anyway
I said I like you anyway
I said, I said, I said I like you anyway
But I now know that you
I like you, I said I like you
I said I like you anyway |
Kick it, rockers
Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete
Under skies all smoky blue green
She said I cant forsee a dixie dead shake
So we danced til the sidewalks clean
My memory is muddy
Whats this river that Im in?
I said New Orleans is sinking, man
And I dont wanna swim
Colonel Tom, whats wrong? Whats going on?
You cant tie yourself up for a deal?
He said, Hey north, youre south, so shut your big mouth
You gotta do what you feel is real
My memory is muddy
Whats this river that Im in?
I said New Orleans is sinking, man
And I dont wanna swim |
Yeah, yeah!
Maybe its us but I really think that it could be you
We were head over feet, it was ironic that our dreams had come true
And so I packed up all my luggage and headed for the coast
Spandex, peanut butter, and more jam on my toast
We dont mean no harm
Its just honestys priority
And we just broke our break
Handshakes
The more we give the more you take
But its so hard when everythings fake
Tell us that we blow and then well tell you, You suck!
Throw another battery at us and well duck
Unpack all my luggage, nothing else to do
Theres a method to our madness and it stems from you
We dont mean no harm
Its just honestys priority
And we just broke our break
Handshakes
The more we give the more you take
But its so hard when everythings fake
And youre all fake!
When everythings fake
Well be okay
Well be okay
When everythings fake
Well be okay
Well be okay
When everythings fake
Well be okay
Well be okay
And I said, I will wonder, I will wonder
We will be okay
And I said, I will wonder, I will wonder
We will be okay |
Go!
With all these questions Im open to any suggestions
And I am facing the problems once faken
And Im keeping the promises maken
And now Im laughing at all the stupid ways that we were acting
And that Ill always be here to be your friend
Ill always be here to lend my hand
Peeking through your window all Im seeing is the grin on your face
Times that we shared are the only times that I felt safe
Peeking through your window all Im seeing is the grin on your face
Time that we shared is the only time that I felt safe
Oh well I know that youll be the one to make it
And that your futures so bright it has no end
All the problems well face well mend
And now Im missing all the hours we spent kissing
And now I wish that things could be the same
But you, as the times, have changed
Peeking through your window all Im seeing is the grin on your face
Times that we shared are the only times that I felt safe
Peeking through your window all Im seeing is the grin on your face
Time that we shared is the only time that I felt safe
A-scritchin and a-scratchin and a-leachin and a-latchin
Now I realize that youre gone
A-scritchin and a-scratchin and a-leachin and a-latchin
Now I realize Im alone
A-scritchin and a-scratchin and a-leachin and a-latchin
Now I realize that youre gone
A-scritchin and a-scratchin and a-leachin and a-latchin
Now I realize Im alone
And with this pain that I feel I know that was
You think that dealing with my problem is easy
You think dealing with my problem
Dealing with my problem
Dealing with my problem is easy
It aint easy, it aint easy, it aint easy, it aint easy
It aint easy, it aint easy, it aint easy, it aint easy
It aint easy, it aint easy, it aint easy
Peeking through your window all Im seeing is that grin on your
Peeking through your window all Im seeing is that grin on your
Peeking through your window all Im seeing is that grin on your
Peeking through your window all Im seeing is that grin on your face
That little grin on your face
That little grin on your face
That little grin on your face
I love that grin on your |
I never thought that the day would ever put
A twist on what we thought was true
I smile out loud just because of the way
You make me feel the way you do
Sprawled across my floor I wish that you
Would never have to leave my door
But if this world held a grudge against you
Id hold a grudge against the world
The big scary world
I wear my soul upon my sleeve
I wear my sole upon my feet
She said Ill make you believe in what you see
And then Ill make you believe in what you cant
Ill make you believe in what you see
And then Ill make you believe in what you cant
Ill make you believe in what you see
And then Ill make you believe in what you cant
Ill make you believe in what you see
And then Ill make you believe in what you cant
I gotta find my half her little wings
So she can fly above and sing
I dont know what I know but I know
That I want you to be with me
I see us walking hand in hand on the shore
I see us walking I want more
If this world held a grudge against you
Id hold a grudge against the world
The big scary world
I wear my soul upon my sleeve
I wear my sole upon my feet
She said Ill make you believe in what you see
And then Ill make you believe in what you cant
Ill make you believe in what you see
And then Ill make you believe in what you cant
Ill make you believe in what you see
And then Ill make you believe in what you cant
Ill make you believe in what you see
Ill make you believe in what you cant

One, two, three, four, five
I wish I had some thread so I could just sew up your nose
Eternal sleep at least you folded up your clothes
And then you went and you snorted your way off the earth
Ha, but why must you always obey when
Ha, theres so much to say and do
And now youre gone, I know its true
But now the day you died has become just another day
Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-ay-ay
Ha, but I guess, I guess well never know

Ha, but I guess, I guess well never know
I wish I had cement so I could just concrete your toes
And then you wouldnt be able to go to shows
Then Id keep you and Id have you all to myself
Ha, but why must you carry the weight when
Ha, theres so much to say and do
And now youre gone, I know its true
But now the day you died has become just another day
Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-ay-ay
Ha, but I guess, I guess well never know

Constant quick fixes, dont make no sense
Hop on bandwagons, you make me sick
Dont you tell me, what you think is right!
When your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight!
When youre living in the shadows
Distant loud chuckles, keep me awake
Awkward in stances wont make you hip
Dont you tell me, what you think is right!
When your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight!
When youre living in the shadows
Weve said this all before, your shadows at the door
Weve said this all before, your shadows at the door
Theres darkness in the hall and we wont take the fall!
Dont you tell me, what you think is right
When your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight

Oh my girl
Youre so hot, when you walk you melt snow
And now that disco has finally grown old
Lets buy back our souls
So lets see
Ya weve got 5 bucks between you and me
My mental dishes are finally clean
So cleared are we
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
The intermissions a mission on its own
The intermissions a mission on its own
Now here seems our wax wings have melted away
And weve only been here for one day
My faith fades away
So dont be a grey cloud when theres none in the sky
We found theres no hidden treasure to find
At least we tried
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
The intermission is a mission on its own
The intermission is a mission on its own
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Grab your suitcase we dont have time to fold

Id never bite off more then I could chew
But then she came and bit me
Id never bite off more then I could chew
But then she bit my leg
She said:
Dont wanna work
I wanna play
And live my life like it was Sunday
The only problem is that Sunday only comes now once a week
And Im a freak but...
Were breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should we stay
A prisoner of today
My bodys tired, my souls excited
And I wish that I was gifted
My bodys tired, my souls excited
And I wish I had some spunk
She said:
I wanna run I wanna hide
And leave this place
Just like it left me
The only problem is I need to find the balls to follow through
And thats the truth but...
Were breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should we stay
A prisoner of today
Were breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should we stay
A prisoner of today
Well this is our time

And our place
History I

How long, and its so long
Just go
A thousand hands will carry into foreign lands
And I will point and Ill smile
Knowing youre filling your memory back
I need you please, I need you so
Go with the flow and Ill watch you go
So go on leave, so go on go
Just to let you know that I love you so
How long, and its so long
Holding hands
You let go you dont know how this set to me
I need to grow, so grow
And I, as my attentions are
I need you please, I need you so
Go with the flow and Ill watch you go
So go on leave, so go on go
Just to let you know that I love you so

Oh my, my, could it be another rhyme?
Im always on the stage but Im never outta time
Come in everybody and shake your shit
You open some fortresses to help me quit
So then you get off your feet and your body will follow
Cause its time to feel the party from the boom to the swallow
I am here, to have some fun, so are you, so come and get some
Some get
Well be a good band, just like the Beastie Boys
I said relax, chill, its all the fun in games
You people walking around put some magic to the plane

Doesnt matter age, or sex or race
Can ya dig it, can ya dig it, let me see it in your face
Doesnt matter age, or sex or race
And everything in its time will probably beat ya with some punches
So thats why we live in the time that when its done
So I check out the mic and make sure that shit is working
Workin in the front, then you screamed I wouldnt touch it
Talked to you bout mom, Ill tell you all again
Go in a massive tournament, wouldnt it matter if I was dead?
She raised me up conditionally, and for that I love her so
And Im the cutest thing, I dont wanna know
And so I get my shit together while youre tickin from a clock
Im traveling with my friends, I always travel in what?
Five stupid years being denounced of our age
Instead of making enemies, try to make some new friends
Yeah
Can ya dig it, can ya dig it, let me see it in your face
Doesnt matter age, or sex or race
Can ya dig it, can ya dig it, let me see it in your face
Doesnt matter age, or sex or race

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Well Ive never seen us act like this
Our only hope is the minds of kids
And theyll show us a thing or two
Our only weapons are the guns of youth
Its only time before they tighten the noose
Then the hunt will be on for you
We dont need them
We dont need them
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Like the smallest bee packs a sting
Like a pawn checkmates a King
Well attack at the crack of dawn
Build a ladder if theres a wall
Dont be afraid to slip and fall
Speak for yourself or theyll speak for you
We dont need them
We dont need them
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
We dont need them
We dont need them
Like a fire
Dont need water
Like a jury
Needs a liar
Like a riot
Dont need order
Like a Madman
Needs a martyr
We dont need them
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow dont need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
We dont need them |
Well, I looked at her face and then I knew she changed
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
So I sat in my room for 27 days
No she never called, I had something to say!
No she never called, I had something to say!
I dont know much and I dont know how...
Why would she put me through such torture
I would have given my life for her
She was the one that knocked me over
Now Im alone sitting on the corner
Well, I heard shes great and her new boyfriends lame
She can go to hell Ill never be the same!
She can go to hell Ill never be the same!
And these open wounds will heal with time they say
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
I dont know much and I dont know how...
Why would she put me through such torture
I would have given my life for her
She was the one that knocked me over
Now Im alone sitting on the corner
Why would she put me through such torture
I would have given my life for her
She was the one that knocked me over
Now Im alone sitting on the corner
I dont know much and I dont know how...
Why would she put me through such torture
I would have given my life for her
She was the one that knocked me over
Now Im alone sitting on the corner
Why would she put me through such torture
I would have given my life for her
She was the one that knocked me over
Now Im alone sitting on the corner |
Hey
Um
I just thought of a thought
This is what was thought up
Of all the battles and the wars that I once fought
We live take a look at the kind
Searching for something that is nowhere to find
We look now, look back to understand why
There are the instincts to love and there are the instincts to die
And repeat repeat cause thats all well ever do
And defeat defeat cause its all well ever know
Its time to start believing in what you want
Knowing that what you know is nothing but just a thought
Its time to start believing in what you want
Knowing that what you know at the moment is just, just, just a thought
Um, excuse me... Yes? Is that one taken?
Oh Im sorry I mustve been mistaken
Please tell me what do you want me for
You were the one in control, you were the one with the doubt
By the way let me tell ya all your searching is done
So dont believe the motto
Its time to start believing in what you want
Knowing that what you know is nothing but just a thought
Its time to start believing in what you want
Knowing that what you know at the moment is just, just, just a thought
I just thought of a thought
This is what was thought up
Of all the battles and the wars that I once fought
We live take a look at the kind
Searching for something that is nowhere to find
Nowhere to find
Nowhere to find
Nowhere to find
Well guess what
Its, its, its, its
Its time to start believing in what you want
Knowing that what you know is nothing but just a thought
Its time to start believing in what you want
Knowing that what you know is nothing but just a thought
Go!
What what
Shoot me down, shoot me down
Shoot me down, shoot me down
Shoot me down, shoot me down
Shoot me down, shoot me down
Shoot it down, shoot it down
Shoot it down, shoot it down
Ooh
Its time to start believing in what you want
Knowing that what you know is nothing but just a thought
Its time to start believing in what you want
Knowing that what you know is nothing but just a thought |
Well Im a preach to the motherfucking king
Ive never been ashamed to ever say my name
Because I praise my parents for the way that they raised me
Never shook a thought of who I am or what I should be, ah
Know what I know and what I know is what I want
And if you dont like my point of view then take a walk
Take a picture of yourself, it just doesnt reflect
Well my mother always told me that people are complex
Playing with my mind, with my thoughts, with my words
Dueling with a pen is mightier than the sword
Always good with the note, never quick to learn
Still amazes me thats the way you people are, hey!
Cause I know what I know and what I know is what I want
So you better be always be giving it what you got
I said, I know what I know and what I know is what I want
So, so, you better be always be giving it what you got, yeah
People never say shit that amuses me or not
Always always worried about what other people thought
They always take the judgement from their peers, from the news
Its so hard to be yourself when your lifes so confused
Just know who you are and know youre not that bad
Cause I dont even know you and I consider you my friend
Youre still the conductor on the train that you built
And you bought the shoes that you have to fill, come on
Cause I know what I know and what I know is what I want
So you better be always be giving it what you got
I said, I know what I know and what I know is what I want
So, so, you better be always be giving it what you got
Who am I, who am I, I used to scream oh wow
Who am I, who am I, Im lost and now Im found
Who am I, who am I, I used to scream oh wow
Who am I, who am I, Im lost and now Im found
Who am I, who am I, I used to scream oh wow
Who am I, who am I, Im lost and now Im found
Who am I, who am I, I used to scream oh wow
Who am I, who am I, Im lost and now Im found
Yeah
Cause I know what I know and what I know is what I want
So you better be always be giving it what you got
I said, I know what I know and what I know is what I want
So, you better be always be giving it what you got
I know what I know and what I know is what I want
So you better be always be giving it what you got
I said, I know what I know and what I know is what I want
So you better be always be giving it what you got, yeah |
