First things first
Ima say all the words inside my head
Im fired up and tired of
The way that things have been, oh-ooh
The way that things have been, oh-ooh
Second thing second
Dont you tell me what you think that I could be
Im the one at the sail
Im the master of my sea, oh-ooh
The master of my sea, oh-ooh
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulkin to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look at me, took to me, shook at me, feelin me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...
Pain! You made me a, you made me a
Believer, believer
Pain! You break me down and build me up
Believer, believer
Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from…
Pain! You made me a, you made me a
Believer, believer
Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that youve heard
Has turned your spirit to a dove, oh-ooh
Your spirit up above, oh-ooh
I was chokin in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbin and flowin
Inhibited, limited til it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like…
Pain! You made me a, you made me a
Believer, believer
Pain! You break me down and build me up
Believer, believer
Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from…
Pain! You made me a, you made me a
Believer, believer
Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
Youre the face of the future
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbin and flowin
Inhibited, limited til it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like…
Pain! You made me a, you made me a
Believer, believer
Pain! You break me down and build me up
Believer, believer
Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from…
Pain! You made me a, you made me a
Believer, believer |
Just a young gun with a quick fuse
I was uptight, wanna let loose
I was dreaming of bigger things
And wanna leave my own life behind
Not a Yes, sir, not a follower
Fit the box, fit the mold
Have a seat in the foyer, take a number
I was lightning before the thunder
Thunder, thunder
Thunder, thun-
Thunder, th-th-thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thun-
Thunder, th-th-thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder, thunder, thunder
Thunder
Kids were laughing in my classes
While I was scheming for the masses
Who do you think you are?
Dreaming bout being a big star
They say, Youre basic, they say, Youre easy
Youre always riding in the backseat
Now Im smiling from the stage
While you were clapping in the nosebleeds
Thunder, thunder
Thunder, thun-
Thunder, th-th-thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thun-
Thunder, th-th-thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder, thunder, thunder
Thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thun-
Thunder, th-th-thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thun-
Thunder, th-th-thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thun-
Thunder, th-th-thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thun-
Thunder, th-th-thunder, thunder |
I torture you
Take my hand through the flames
I torture you
Im a slave to your games
I wanna chain you up, I wanna tie you down
Oooohh, Im just a sucker for pain
Dolla $ign! Im a sucker for pain
I got the squad tatted on me from my neck to my ankles
Pressure from the man got us all in rebellion
We gon go to war, yeah, without failure
Do it for the fam dog, ten toes down dog
Love and the loyalty; thats what we stand for
Alienated by society
All this pressure give me anxiety
Walk slow through the fire
Like, who gon try us?
Feeling the world go against us
So we put the world on our shoulders
I torture you
Take my hand through the flames
I torture you
Im a slave to your games
I wanna chain you up, I wanna tie you down
Oooohh, Im just a sucker for pain
I been at it with my homies, it dont matter, you dont know me
I been rollin with my team, we the illest on the scene
I been riding round the city with my squad
I been riding round the city with my, squad
We just posted, getting crazy, living like this is so amazing
Hold up, take a step back when we roll up cause I know what
We been loyal, we been fam, we the ones you trust in
Wont hesitate to go straight to your head like a concussion
I know I been bussin, no discussion for my family
No hesitation, through my scope I see my enemy
Like whats up? Hold up, we finna re-load up
Yes I re-load up, I know what up, I know what up
I torture you
Take my hand through the flames
I torture you
Im a slave to your games
I wanna chain you up, I wanna tie you down
Oooohh, Im just a sucker for pain
Uhh, devoted to destruction
A full dosage of detrimental dysfunction
Im dying slow but the devil tryna rush me
See, Im a fool for pain, Im a dummy
Might cut my head off right after I slit my throat
Tongue kiss a shark, got jealous bitches up in the boat
Eating peanut butter and jelly fishes on toast
And if I get stung, I get stoked, might choke
Like I chewed a chunk of charcoal, naked in the North Pole
Thats why my heart cold, full of sorrow, the lost soul
And only Lord knows when Im coming to the crossroads
So I dont fear shit but tomorrow
And Im a sucker for pain, it aint nuttin but pain
You just fuckin complain, you aint tough as you claim
Just stay up in your lane, just dont fuck with Lil Wayne
Ima jump from my plane or stand in front of a train
Cause Im a sucker for pain
Used to doing bad now we feel like we just now getting it
Aint got no other way so we start it and finish it
No pain, no gain
Never stand down, made our own way
Never going slow, we pick up the pace
This is what we wanted from a young age
No emotion, thats what business is
Lord have mercy on the witnesses
I torture you
Take my hand through the flames
I torture you
Im just a sucker for pain
More pain
Got me beggin, beggin, beggin, beggin, beggin, beggin
For more pain
Got me beggin, beggin, beggin, beggin, beggin, beggin
For more pain
Got me beggin, beggin, beggin, beggin, beggin, beggin
For more pain
Got me beggin... |
Falling too fast to prepare for this
Tripping in the world could be dangerous
Everybody circling is vulturous
Negative, nepotist
Everybody waiting for the fall of man
Everybody praying for the end of times
Everybody hoping they could be the one
I was born to run, I was born for this
Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up
Whatever it takes
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
Yeah, take me to the top
Im ready for whatever it takes
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
Always had a fear of being typical
Looking at my body feeling miserable
Always hanging on to the visual
I wanna be invisible
Looking at my years like a martyrdom
Everybody needs to be a part of em
Never be enough, Im the prodigal son
I was born to run, I was born for this
Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up
Whatever it takes
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
Yeah, take me to the top
Im ready for whatever it takes
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
Hypocritical, egotistical
Dont wanna be the parenthetical, hypothetical
Working hard on something that Im proud of, out of the box
An epoxy to the world and the vision weve lost
Im an apostrophe
Im just a symbol to remind you that theres more to see
Im just a product of the system, a catastrophe
And yet a masterpiece, and yet Im half-diseased
And when I am deceased
At least Ill go down to the grave and die happily
And leave the body and the soul to be a part of thee
I do what it takes
Whatever it takes
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
Yeah, take me to the top
Im ready for whatever it takes
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes |
When the days are cold and the cards all fold
And the saints we see are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail and the ones we hail
Are the worst of all, and the bloods run stale
I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside, theres nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat, look into my eyes
Its where my demons hide, its where my demons hide
Dont get too close; its dark inside
Its where my demons hide, its where my demons hide
At the curtains call its the last of all
When the lights fade out, all the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave and the masquerade
Will come calling out at the mess youve made
Dont wanna let you down, but I am hell-bound
Though this is all for you, dont wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat, look into my eyes
Its where my demons hide, its where my demons hide
Dont get too close; its dark inside
Its where my demons hide, its where my demons hide
They say its what you make, I say its up to fate
Its woven in my soul, I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright, I wanna save that light
I cant escape this now, unless you show me how
When you feel my heat, look into my eyes
Its where my demons hide, its where my demons hide
Dont get too close; its dark inside
Its where my demons hide, its where my demons hide |
Whoah-oh

Oh, hush, my dear, its been a difficult year
And terrors don’t prey on innocent victims
Trust me, darlin, trust me darlin
It’s been a loveless year
Im a man of three fears:
Integrity, faith, and crocodile tears
Trust me, darlin, trust me, darlin
So look me in the eyes , tell me what you see
Perfect paradise , tearin at the seams
I wish I could escape it , I dont wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it , make your heart believe
But Im a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, now you know
Im a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you’re free to go
Did all my dreams never mean one thing?
Does happiness lie in a diamond ring?
Oh, I’ve been askin for—
Oh, I’ve been askin for problems, problems, problems
I wage my war, on the world inside
I take my gun to the enemys side
Oh, Ive been askin’ for—
Oh, Ive been askin for problems, problems, problems
So look me in the eyes , tell me what you see
Perfect paradise , tearin at the seams
I wish I could escape it , I dont wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it , make your heart believe
But Im a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, now you know

Bury me with berries, that forbidden fruit and cherry wine
Thank you berry much, but tonights my night and Im Barry Bonds
Swingin for the fences, barbaric Kendrick in idle time
Everything in lifes subject to change, change whip, change grind
Change clothes, change opinions, right before I change my mind
I dont really know yah business, been in there since I was bendin Lego blocks
Now you tell the world about me, dry snitch
Tater tots on my shotgun, now I gotta pop one at the stars
Skys the limit, I gotta finish as the first rapper on Mars
Mark my word, Ima make my mark, even when they start their Martial Law
Even when these Martians alienate, my mental state is still at heart
Fuck, look in my eyes, tell me I died, tell me I tried, to compromise
Tell me you love me, tell me that I, dont give a fuck and can barely decide
Wishin good luck on my enemies, all of my energy go to the almighty God
I could drown in a bottle of Hennessy, fuck your amenities, Im gettin better with time
AHHHHH!
Im wakin up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, whoa, Im radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, Im radioactive, radioactive

There she goes in front of me
Take my life and set me free again
Well make a memory out of it
Holy road is at my back
Dont look on, take me back again
Well make a memory out of it
We finally fall apart
And we break each others hearts
If we wanna live young, love
We better start today
Its gotta get easier and easier somehow
Cause Im falling, Im falling
Oh, easier and easier somehow
Oh, Im calling, Im calling
And it isnt over unless it is over
I dont wanna wait for that
Its gotta get easier and easier somehow
But not today, not today
There she goes in front of me
Take my life, set me free again
Well make a memory out of it
Holy road was at my back

Something about the way that you walked into my living room
Casually and confident lookin at the mess I am
But still you, still you want me
Stress lines and cigarettes, politics, and deficits
Late bills and overages, screamin and hollerin
But still you, still you want me
Oh, I always let you down
Youre shattered on the ground
But still, I find you there
Next to me
And oh, stupid things I do
Im far from good, its true
But still, I find you
Next to me
Theres something about the way that you always see the pretty view
Overlook the blooded mess, always lookin effortless
And still you, still you want me
I got no innocence, faith aint no privilege
I am a deck of cards, vice or a game of hearts
And still you, still you want me
Oh, I always let you down
Youre shattered on the ground
But still, I find you there
Next to me
And oh, stupid things I do
Im far from good, its true
But still, I find you
Next to me
Oh
So thank you for taking a chance on me
I know it isnt easy
But I hope to be worth it
So thank you for taking a chance on me
I know it isnt easy
But I hope to be worth it
Oh, I always let you down
Youre shattered on the ground,
But still, I find you there
Next to me
And, oh, stupid things I do
Im far from good, its true
But still, I find you
Next to me |
So this is what you meant
When you said that you were spent
And now its time to build from the bottom of the pit
Right to the top
Dont hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check
I dont ever wanna let you down
I dont ever wanna leave this town
Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night
Its time to begin, isnt it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then Ill admit
Im just the same as I was
Now dont you understand
That Im never changing who I am
So this is where you fell
And I am left to sell
The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell
Right to the top
Dont look back
Turn in the rags and giving the commodities a rain check
I dont ever wanna let you down
I dont ever wanna leave this town
Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night
Its time to begin, isnt it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then Ill admit
Im just the same as I was
Now dont you understand
That Im never changing who I am
Its time to begin, isnt it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then Ill admit
Im just the same as I was
Now dont you understand
That Im never changing who I am
This road never looked so lonely
This house doesnt burn down slowly
To ashes, to ashes
Its time to begin, isnt it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then Ill admit
Im just the same as I was
Now dont you understand
That Im never changing who I am
Its time to begin, isnt it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then Ill admit
Im just the same as I was
Now dont you understand
That Im never changing who I am |
Do you feel the same when Im away from you?
Do you know the line that Id walk for you?
We could turn around or we could give it up
But well take what comes, take what comes
Oh, the storm is ragin against us now
If youre afraid of falling, then dont look down
But we took the step, oh, we took the leap
And well take what comes, take what comes
Feel the wind in your hair
Feel the rush way up here
Were walkin the wire, love
Were walkin the wire, love
We couldnt be higher, up
Were walkin the wire, wire, wire
Theres nights we had to just walk away
And theres tears well cry, but those tears will fade
Its a price you pay when it comes to love
And well take what comes, take what comes
Feel the wind in your hair
Feel the rush way up here
Were walkin the wire, love
Were walkin the wire, love
We couldnt be higher, up
Were walkin the wire, wire, wire
So look out down below
Look out down below
Look out down below
Walkin the wire, wire, wire
So look out down below
Oh, Ill take your hand when thunder roars
And Ill hold you close, Ill stay the course
I promise you from up above
That well take what comes, take what comes, love
Were walkin the wire, love
Were walkin the wire, love
We couldnt be higher, up
Were walkin the wire, wire, wire
So look out down below
Look out down below
Look out down below
Walkin the wire, wire, wire
So look out down below
Were walkin the wire
Were walkin the wire
Were walkin the wire, wire, wire |
I find it hard to say the things I want to say the most
Find a little bit of steady as I get close
Find a balance in the middle of the chaos
Send me low, send me high, send me never demigod
I remember walking in the cold of November
Hoping that I make it to the end of December
27 years and the end on my mind
But holding to the thought of another time
But looking to the ways of the ones before me
Looking for the path of the young and lonely
I dont wanna hear about what to do
I don’t wanna do it just to do it for you
Hello, hello
Let me tell you what its like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what its like to always feel, feel
Like I’m empty and theres nothing really real, real
Im looking for a way out
Hello, hello
Let me tell you what its like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what its like to never feel, feel
Like Im good enough for anything thats real, real
Im looking for a way out
I find it hard to tell you how I wanna run away
I understand it always makes you feel a certain way
I find a balance in the middle of the chaos
Send me up, send me down, send me ’nother demigod
I remember walking in the heat of the summer
Wide-eyed one with a mind full of wonder
27 years and I’ve nothing to show
Falling from the dove to the dark of the crow
Looking to the ways of the ones before me
Looking for the path of the young and lonely
I dont wanna hear about what to do, no
I don’t wanna do it just to do it for you
Hello, hello
Let me tell you what its like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what its like to always feel, feel
Like Im empty and there’s nothing really real, real
Im looking for a way out
Hello, hello
Let me tell you what its like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what its like to never feel, feel
Like Im good enough for anything thats real, real
Im looking for a way out
Let me tell you bout it, well let me tell you bout it
Maybe youre the same as me
Let me tell you bout it, well let me tell you bout it
They say the truth will set you free
Hello, hello
Let me tell you what its like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what its like to always feel, feel
Like Im empty and theres nothing really real, real
Im looking for a way out
Hello, hello
Let me tell you what its like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what its like to never feel, feel
Like Im good enough for anything thats real, real
Im looking for a way out |
I was hopin for an indication
I was seekin higher elevation
Aye aye aye, aye aye aye
Ive been shaken, wakin in the night light
Ive been breakin, hidin from the spotlight
Aye aye aye, aye aye aye
The more I stray, the less I fear
And the more I reach, the more I fade away
The darkness right in front of me
Oh, its calling out, and I wont walk away
I would always open up the door
Always lookin up for higher floors
Wanna see it all give me more
I was always up for makin changes
Walkin down the street meetin strangers
Flippin through my life turnin pages
Like a prayer that only needs a reason
Like a hunter waiting for the season
Aye aye aye, aye aye aye
I was there, but I was always leaving
Ive been livin, but I was never breathing
Aye aye aye, aye aye aye
The more I stray, the less I fear
And the more I reach, the more I fade away
The darkness right in front of me
Oh, its calling out, and I wont walk away
I would always open up the door
Always lookin up for higher floors
Wanna see it all give me more
I was always up for makin changes
Walkin down the street meetin strangers
Flippin through my life turnin pages
Im burstin like the Fourth of July
So color me and blow me away
Im broken in the prime of my life
So embrace it and leave me to stray
I would always open up the door
Always lookin up for higher floors
Wanna see it all give me more
I was always up for makin changes
Walkin down the street meetin strangers
Flippin through my life turnin pages
I would always open up the door
Always lookin up for higher floors
Want to see it all give me more
I was always up for makin changes
Walkin down the street meetin strangers
Flippin through my life turnin pages |
We could be strangers in the night
We could be passing in the shadows
We couldnt be closer if we tried
When were caught in the headlights
We could be faces in the crowd
We could be passin in the shadows
Lovin the risk of bein found
When were caught in the headlights
Dangerous
Your love is always dangerous
And now Im lost in us
Were livin in a lie of trust
I dont know why
But I guess its got somethin to do with you
To do with you
I dont know why
But I guess its got somethin to do with you
To do with you
I was a vacant alibi
Trading the truth in for a lie, oh
We were the essence of desire
And were caught in the headlights
Dangerous
Your love is always dangerous
And now Im lost in us
Were livin in a lie of trust
I dont know why
But I guess its got somethin to do with you
To do with you
I dont know why
But I guess its got somethin to do with you
To do with you
I dont know why
But I guess its got somethin to do with you
To do with you
I dont know why
But I guess its got somethin to do with you
To do with you
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love me
Dangerous
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love me
Your love is always dangerous
Tell me that you love me
I dont know why

But I guess its got somethin to do with you
To do with you
I dont know why
But I guess its got somethin to do with you
To do with you
I dont know why
But I guess its got somethin to do with you
To do with you |
As a child, you would wait and watch from far away
But you always knew that youd be the one
That work while they all play
In youth, youd lay awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change
But it was just a dream
Here we are, dont turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, dont turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust
The time will come, when youll have to rise
Above the rest and prove yourself
Your spirit never dies
Farewell, Ive gone to take my throne above
But dont weep for me, cause this will be
The labor of my love
Here we are, dont turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, dont turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust
Here we are, dont turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, dont turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust |
I know Ive given up
A hundred times before
But I know a miracle
Is not something to ignore
You take me for a fool
You take me for a fool
I never knew anybody ‘til I knew you
I never knew anybody ‘til I knew you
And I know when it rains, oh, it pours
And I know I was born to be yours
I never knew anybody ‘til I knew you
I never knew anybody ‘til I knew you
And I know when it rains, oh, it pours
And I know I was born to be yours
Are you the only one
Lost in the millions?
Or are you my grain of sand
Thats blowing in the wind?
I never knew anybody ‘til I knew you
I never knew anybody ‘til I knew you
And I know when it rains, oh, it pours
And I know I was born to be yours
I never knew anybody ‘til I knew you
I never knew anybody ‘til I knew you

If you love somebody
Better tell them while theyre here cause
They just may run away from you
Youll never know quite when, well
Then again, it just depends on
How long of time is left for you
Ive had the highest mountains
Ive had the deepest rivers
You can have it all, but life keeps moving
Now take it in but dont look down...

Try to take the easy way out

About time for anyone telling you
Off for all your deeds
No sign the roaring thunder
Stopped in cold to read
I get mine and make no excuses
Waste of precious breath
The sun shines on everyone
Everyone, love yourself to death
So you gotta fire up, you gotta let go
Youll never be loved til you’ve made your own
You gotta face up, you gotta get yours
You never know the top till you get too low
A son of a stepfather
A son of a, Im so sorry
A son of a stepfather
A son of a, Im so sorry
No lies and no deceiving
Man is what he loves
I keep tryin to conceive that
Death is from above
I get mine and make no excuses
Waste of precious breath
The sun shines on everyone
Everyone, love yourself to death
So you gotta fire up, you gotta let go
Youll never be loved til you’ve made your own
You gotta face up, you gotta get yours
You never know the top till you get too low
A son of a stepfather
A son of a, Im so sorry
A son of a stepfather
A son of a, Im so sorry
Life isnt always what you think it’d be
Turn your head for one second and the tables turn
And I know, I know that I did you wrong
But will you trust me when I say that Ill make it up to you?
Somehow, somehow?
So you gotta fire up, you gotta let go
Youll never be loved til you’ve made your own
You gotta face up, you gotta get yours
You never know the top till you get too low
A son of a stepfather
A son of a, Im so sorry
A son of a stepfather
A son of a, Im so sorry
Im so sorry
Im so sorry
Im so sorry
A son of a |

Im sorry for everything, oh, everything Ive done
Am I out of touch? Am I out of my place
When I keep sayin that Im lookin for an empty space?
Oh, Im wishin youre here
But Im wishin youre gone
I cant have you and Im only gonna do you wrong
Oh, Im gonna mess this up
Oh, this is just my luck
Over and over and over again

From the second that I was born, it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole
Through everything I loved
Oh, I shot, shot, shot a hole
Through every single thing that I loved
Am I out of luck? Am I waiting to break?
When I keep sayin that Im lookin for a way to escape

At the bay side, where you used to show
In the moonlight, where we let it go
We can let this drift away
Oh, we let this drift away

Oh, love, can you hear me?

I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I know I let you down, didnt I?
So many sleepless nights
Where you were waiting up on me
Well, Im just a slave unto the night
Now remember when I told you
Thats the last youll see of me?
Remember when I broke you down to tears?
I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years
So I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you
Ive been around the world
And never in my wildest dreams
Would I come runnin home to you
Ive told a million lies
But now I tell a single truth
Theres you in everything I do
Now remember when I told you
Thats the last youll see of me?
Remember when I broke you down to tears?
I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years
So I, I bet my life

Ive walked that road before
And left you on your own
And please believe them when they say
That its left for yesterday
And the records that I play
Please forgive me for all Ive done

Ever since I could remember
Everything inside of me
Just wanted to fit in
I was never one for pretenders
Everything I tried to be
Just wouldnt settle in
If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seemed dangerous
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isnt dark enough
That this problem lies in me
Im only a man with a candle to guide me
Im taking a stand to escape whats inside me
A monster, a monster
Ive turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger
Can I clear my conscience
If Im different from the rest?
Do I have to run and hide?
I never said that I want this
This burden came to me
And its made its home inside
If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seemed dangerous
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isnt dark enough
That this problem lies in me
Im only a man with a candle to guide me
Im taking a stand to escape whats inside me
A monster, a monster
Ive turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger
Im only a man with a candle to guide me
Im taking a stand to escape whats inside me
A monster, a monster
Ive turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger |
First things first, Ima say all the words inside my head
Im fired up and tired of the way that things have been-oh, ooh
The way that things have been-oh, ooh
Second thing second, dont you tell me what you think that I could be
Im the one at the sail, Im the master of my sea-oh, ooh
The master of my sea-oh, ooh
I was broken from a young age
Takin my sulkin to the masses
Writin my poems for the few
That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feelin me
Singin from heartache from the pain
Takin my message from the veins
Speakin my lesson from the brain
Seein the beauty through the...
Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain! You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
First things first, can you imagine whats about to happen?
Its Weezy the dragon, I link with the Dragons
And we gon get ratchet, no need for imaginin
This is whats happenin
Second thing second, I reckon immaculate
Sound about accurate
I know that strength, it dont come without strategy
I know that sweet, it dont come without cavities
I know the passages come with some traffic
I start from the basement, end up in the attic
And third thing third
Whoever count me out, they simply cant count
Lets get mathematic, Im up in this, huh
Is you a believer?
I get a unicorn out of a zebra
I wear my uniform like a tuxedo
This dragon dont hold his breath, dont need a breather
Love you, Miss Cita, the son of a leader
I know the bloomin dont come without rain
I know the losin dont come without shame
I know the beauty dont come without hurt
Hold up, hold up
Last thing last
I know that Tunechi dont come without Wayne
I know that losin dont come without gain
I know that beauty dont come without
Dont come without…
Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain! You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Last things last, by the grace of the fire and the flames
Youre the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh-ooh
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbin and flowin
Inhibited, limited til it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like...
Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain! You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer |
Im sorry, mother, Im sorry, I let you down
Well, these days Im fine; no, these days I tend to lie
Ill take the Western train, just by the side of Amsterdam
Just by my left brain, just by the side of the Tin Man
Im sorry, brother, Im sorry, I let you down
Well, these days youre fine; no, these days you tend to lie
Youll take the Western train, just by the side of Amsterdam
Just by your left brain, just by the side of the Tin Man
Your time will come
If you wait for it, if you wait for it
Its hard, believe me, Ive tried
But I keep coming up short
Im sorry, lover, Im sorry I bring you down
Well, these days I try, and these days I tend to lie
Kinda thought it was a mystery, and then I thought it wasnt meant to be
You said yourself fantastically, Congratulations, you are all alone!
Your time will come
If you wait for it, if you wait for it
Its hard, believe me, Ive tried
Your time will come
If you wait for it, if you wait for it
Its hard, believe me, Ive tried
But the rain wont fall for the both of us
The sun wont shine on the both of us
Believe me when I say
That I wouldnt have it any other way
Your time will come
If you wait for it, if you wait for it
Its hard, believe me, Ive tried
But I wont wait much longer
Cause these walls, theyre crashing down
No, I wont wait much longer
Cause these walls, theyre crashing down
And I keep coming up short |
In the dark, and Im right on the middle mark
Im just in the tier of everything that rides below the surface
And I watch from a distance seventeen
And Im short of the others dreams of being golden and on top
Its not what you painted in my head
Theres so much there instead of all the colors that I saw
We all are living in a dream
But life aint what it seems
Oh everythings a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everythings a mess
But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream
In the eyes of a teenage crystallized
Oh, the prettiest of lights that hang the hallways of the home
And the cries from the strangers out at night
They dont keep us up at night
We have the curtains drawn and closed
We all are living in a dream
But life aint what it seems
Oh everythings a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everythings a mess
But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream
I know all your reasons
To keep me from seeing
Everything is actually a mess
But now I am leaving
All of us were only dreaming
Everything is actually a mess
We all are living in a dream
But life aint what it seems
Oh everythings a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everythings a mess
But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream
But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream |
Im a reckless mistake
Im a cold nights intake
Im a one night too long
Im a come on too strong
All my life, Ive been living in the fast lane
Cant slow down, Im a rollin freight train
One more time, gotta start all over
Cant slow down, Im a lone red rover
Im a hold my cards close
Im a wreck what I love most
Im a first class letdown
Im a shut up, sit down
I am a head case
I am the color of boom
Thats never arriving
And you are the pay raise
Always a touch out of view
And I am the color of boom
All my life, Ive been living in the fast lane
Cant slow down, Im a rolling freight train
One more time, gotta start all over
Cant slow down, Im a lone red rover
Whoa, how did it come to this?
Oh, love is a polaroid, oh
Better in picture
never can fill the void
Im a midnight talker
Oh, Im an alley walker
Im a day late two-face
Im a burn out quick pace
I am a head case
I am the color of boom
Thats never arriving
And you are the opera
Always on time and in tune
And I am the color of boom
All my life, Ive been living in the fast lane
Cant slow down, Im a rolling freight train
One more time, gotta start all over
Cant slow down, Im a lone red rover
Whoa, how did it come to this?
Oh, love is a polaroid, oh
Better in picture
never can fill the void
Im gonna get ready
For the rain to pour heavy
Let it fall, fall
Let it fall upon my head
All my life, Ive been living in the fast lane
Cant slow down, Im a rolling freight train
One more time, gotta start all over
Cant slow down, Im a lone red rover
Whoa, how did it come to this?
Oh, love is a polaroid, oh
Better in picture
never can fill the void
Oh, love is a polaroid
Oh, love is a polaroid
Oh, love is a polaroid
Love is a polaroid |
Im bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is bring you down
Ill bleed out for you
So I bare my skin and I count my sins
And I close my eyes and I take it in
I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out for you, for you
When the day has come
That I’ve lost my way around
And the seasons stop
And hide beneath the ground
When the sky turns grey
And everything is screaming
I will reach inside
Just to find my heart is beating
Oh, you tell me to hold on
Oh, you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong
Cause Im bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is bring you down
Ill bleed out for you
So I bare my skin and I count my sins
And I close my eyes and I take it in
And I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out for you, for you
When the hour is nigh
And hopelessness is sinking in
And the wolves all cry
To fill the night with hollering
When your eyes are red
And emptiness is all you know
With the darkness fed
I will be your scarecrow
You tell me to hold on
Oh, you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong
Cause Im bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is bring you down
Ill bleed out for you
So I bare my skin and I count my sins
And I close my eyes and I take it in
And I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out for you, for you
I’m bleeding out for you, for you
I’m bleeding out for you, for you
I’m bleeding out for you, for you
I’m bleeding out for you
Cause Im bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is bring you down
Ill bleed out for you
So I bare my skin and I count my sins
And I close my eyes and I take it in
And I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out for you, for you |

First comes a blessing of all that youve dreamed
But then comes the curses of diamonds and rings
Only at first did it have its appeal
But now you cant tell the false from the real
Who can you trust?
Who can you trust?
When everything, everything
Everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything, everything
Everything you touch turns to gold, gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Statues and empires are all at your hands
Water to wine and the finest of sands
When all that you haves turning stale and its cold
Oh, youll no longer feel when your hearts turned to gold
Who can you trust?
Who can you trust?
When everything, everything
Everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything, everything
Everything you touch turns to gold, gold
Gold
Gold
Gold

Im dying to feel again
Oh, anything at all

Nothing
When everything, everything
Everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything, everything
Everything you touch turns to gold, gold

One more day well spend together
Let your eyes look up upon me for the better
Oh, I know Im worse for weather
But, my love, I wont give up
Spend my days cursing my soul
Wishing I could paint my scars and make me whole
Oh, I know I could be better
But, my love, I wont give up
I aint no Superman, I aint no Holy Ghost
Im just the one that keeps you up at night, you love the most
Ill be your strong man, Ill be your West Coast
Ill be the sun, Ill be the waves, Ill be the one you love the most
Ooh, hey, hey, hey, oh
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Ill be, Ill be, Ill be, Ill be, Ill be your West Coast, honey

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ill change my ways if you would stay
And all your tears that you have cried will go away
Oh, just grant me one more day
Oh, my love, please dont give up
See the Devil at my door
I see the future of the ones that Ive ignored
I guess I was born to be at war
And, my love, I wont give up
So, my love, please dont give up
I aint no Superman, I aint no Holy Ghost
Im just the one who keeps you up at night, you love the most
Ill be your strong man, Ill be your West Coast
Ill be the sun, Ill be the waves, Ill be the one you love the most
Ooh, hey, hey, hey, oh

Dont throw stones at me
Dont tell anybody
Trouble finds me
All the noise of this
Has made me lose my belief
Im going back to my roots
Another day, another door
Another high, another low
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Im going back to my roots
Another day, another door
Another high, another low
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Had to lose my way
To know which road to take
Trouble found me
All I look for was
Washed away by a wave
Im going back to my roots
Another day, another door
Another high, another low
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Im going back to my roots
Another day, another door
Another high, another low
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Anywhere your dreams could take you
Go astray, fade away
Just leave it to yesterday
Heres to my future
Heres to my yesterday
Heres to change
Oh, heres to my yesterday
No tomorrow without a yesterday
Heres to my future

The precipice, born to change
The final days, the last embrace
Augustus, Nero, taking names

Cool out, cool out
Just before I go
Yes, I know that Im losing control and
I want to take things slow
Put my mind in cruise control
I know Im always pacing
And I blame it on the pressure Im facing
I wanna take things slow
Put my mind in cruise control
Im standing on your front porch saying, Dont go
You were lookin at me wild saying, Just go home, and
Cool out, cause baby, I dont think Im the one for you
So just cool out, cause baby, I dont think Im the one for you
So cool out, stay high, stay fresh, play nice
And just cool out, cause baby, I dont think Im the one for you
So cool out
Youre always saying that you read my sign and
Always wishing that I take the time but
You know thats not my speed
Only believe what I can see
I live my life in black-and-white
I know thats not what you would like
Thats all I know
I put my mind in cruise control
Im standing on your front porch saying, Dont go
You were lookin at me wild saying, Just go home, and
Cool out, cause baby, I dont think Im the one for you
So just cool out, cause baby, I dont think Im the one for you
So cool out, stay high, stay fresh, play nice
And just cool out, cause baby, I dont think Im the one for you
So cool out
So cool out
All the things that you detest in me
They keep you coming back for more, you see
We make each other get a bit crazy
But you will always be a part of me
Cool out, cause baby, I dont think Im the one for you
So just cool out, cause baby, I dont think Im the one for you
So cool out, stay high, stay fresh, play nice
And just cool out, cause baby, I dont think Im the one for you

This is my word, this is my way
Show me a sign, sweep me away
This is my word, heartbreaker, gatekeeper
Im feeling far away, Im feeling right there
Deep in my heart, deep in my mind
Take me away, take me away
This is my word, dream maker, life taker
Open up my mind
All I believe, is it a dream
That comes crashing down on me?
All that I hope
Is it just smoke and mirrors?
I want to believe, whoa
But all that I know
Is it just smoke and mirrors?
All that Ive known, buildings of stone
Fall to the ground without a sound
This is my word, heartbreaker, gatekeeper
Im feeling far away, Im feeling right there
Im starting to cave, Im losing my flame
I wanted your truth, but I wanted the pain
To disappear, dream maker, life taker
Open up my mind
All I believe, is it a dream
That comes crashing down on me?
All that I hope
Is it just smoke and mirrors?
I want to believe, whoa
But all that I know
Is it just smoke and mirrors?
Believe
I want to believe
All I believe, is it a dream
That comes crashing down on me?
All that I hope
Is it just smoke and mirrors?
I want to believe, whoa
But all that I know
Is it just smoke and mirrors? |
Who knows how long Ive been awake now?
The shadows on my wall dont sleep
They keep calling me
Beckoning
Who knows whats right? The lines keep getting thinner
My age has never made me wise
But I keep pushing
On and on
And on and on
Theres nothing left to say now
Theres nothing left to say now
Im giving up, giving up, hey, hey, giving up now
Im giving up, giving up, hey, hey, giving up now
Theres nothing left to say now
Theres nothing left to say now
Im giving up, giving up, hey, hey, giving up now
Im giving up, giving up, hey, hey, giving up now
Below my soul, I feel an engine
Collapsing as it sees the pain
If I could only shut it out
Ive come too far to see the end now
Even if my way is wrong
And I keep pushing
On and on and on and on
Theres nothing left to say now
Theres nothing left to say now
Im giving up, giving up, hey, hey, giving up now
Im giving up, giving up, hey, hey, giving up now
Theres nothing left to say now

I keep falling, I keep falling down
I keep falling, I keep falling down
I keep falling, I keep falling down
If you could only save me
Im drowning in the waters of my soul...
Theres nothing left to say now
Theres nothing left to say now, oh!

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
I threw some rocks up at your window
I broke some rocks right through your window
Timber, timber, were falling down
Let the forest hear our sound
Boom, ba-doom ba-doom, ah-ooh ah-ooh
Boom, ba-doom ba-doom, ah-ooh ah-ooh
Why cant I see
Whats right in front of me?
We fall, we fall apart
We fall, we fall apart
We fall, we fall apart
We fall, we fall apart |
Clenched teeth, no words
All this distance taking its toll
Speaking volumes
Silence screaming over your words
I never did you right, I know that
Too many sleepless nights, I own that
I said it time and time, I know that
I wanna try again
Can we start over?
Can we start over?
Can we start over
Before its over, over?
Cold nights, cold sheets
One more lonely empty hotel room
What Id give to
Find my way back into you
I never did you right, and I know that
Too many sleepless nights, I own that
I said it time and time, I know that
I wanna try again
Can we start over?
Can we start over?
Can we start over
Before its over, over?
Can we start over?
Can we get closer?
Can we start over
Before its over, over?
Come alive, come alive, come alive again
Come alive, come alive, come alive again
Come alive, come alive, come alive again
Come alive, come alive, come alive again
Can we start, can we start over?

Seeming like we all been runnin, runnin’
Feeling like the wild west, gunnin, gunnin
Listen to our elders shunnin, shunnin
Flipping on the news beat talkin, talkin
All about the problems, shockin, shockin’
We put on our headphones walking, walking
We put on our headphones

Love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love

All the other races, other, other
Why can’t you just be my brother, brother?
We dont have to kill one another, kill one another
All around the world, we are one, we are one
All around the world, we are one
So where did we all go wrong?

Patience only gets you so far
Blood will get you further
Pain will only make your heart hard
Tossed in furys weather
Innocence is beautiful to see
Wont you box it up for me?
For me
Oh, give me strength, and give me peace
Does anyone out there want to hear me?
Its just another downpour, dont let it get the best of you
Its only up from the floor, light everything inside of you
Dont burn out, dont burn out on me
Dont burn out, dont burn out on me
Sadness is my enemy
I fear time will age him gently
Walking by my side for all these years
Seems that weve grown friendly
Happiness is beautiful to see
Wont you box it up for me?
For me
Oh, give me strength, and give me peace
Does anyone out there want to hear me?
Its just another downpour, dont let it get the best of you
Its only up from the floor, light everything inside of you
Dont burn out, dont burn out on me
Dont burn out, dont burn out on me
Its just another downpour
Its just another downpour
I wont give up
I wont give up
I wont give up
I wont
Its just another downpour, dont let it get the best of you
Its only up from the floor, light everything inside of you
I dont wanna let you go, I dont wanna let you go
Dont burn out, dont burn out on me
I dont wanna let you go, I dont wanna let you go
Dont burn out, dont burn out on me |
So youre still thinking of me, just like I know you should
I cannot give you everything, you know I wish I could
Im so high at the moment, Im so caught up in this
Yeah, were just young, dumb and broke
But we still got love to give...
While were young dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Just a young gun with a quick fuse
I was uptight, I wanna let loose
I was dreaming of bigger things
And wanna leave my old life behind
Not a yessir, not a follower
Fit the box, fit the mold
Have a seat in the foyer, take a number
I was lightning before the thunder
Thunder, thunder, thunder, thun-
Thunder, thun-thun-thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thun-
Thunder, thun-thun-thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning, then the thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning, then the thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thunder
We have so much in common, we argue all the time
You always say Im wrong, Im pretty sure Im right
They say youre basic, they say youre easy
Youre always riding in the backseat
Now Im smiling from the stage
While you were clapping in the nose bleeds...
While were young dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning, then the thunder, thunder

Just one more time
Before I go, Ill let you know
That all this time Ive been afraid
Wouldnt let it show
Nobody can save me now, no
Nobody can save me now
Stars are only visible in darkness
Fear is ever-changing and evolving
And I, I feel poisoned inside
But I, I feel so alive
Nobody can save me now
King is crowned
Its do or die
Nobody can save me now
The only sound
Is the battle cry
Is the battle cry
Is the battle cry
Nobody can save me now
Its do or die
Nobody can save me now
King is crowned
Its do or die
Nobody can save me now
The only sound

In the morning light, let my roots take flight
Watch me fall above like a vicious dove
They dont see me come, who can blame them?
They never seem to catch my eye
But Ive never wondered why
I wont fall asleep
I wont fall asleep...
Hey, yeah, dont let em know were coming
Hey, yeah, tiptoe higher
Take some time to simmer down, keep your head down low
Hey, yeah, tiptoe higher
From your slanted view, see the morning dew
Sink into the soil, watch the water boil
They wont see me run, who can blame them?
They never look to see me fly
So Ive never had to lie
I wont fall asleep
I wont fall asleep...
Hey, yeah, dont let em know were coming
Hey, yeah, tiptoe higher
Take some time to simmer down, keep your head down low
Hey, yeah, tiptoe higher
Nobody else
Nobody else
Nobody else can take me higher
Nobody else can take me higher
Nobody else can take me higher
Nobody else...
Hey, yeah, dont let em know were coming

Take some time to simmer down, keep your head down low

Maybe if I leave tonight, I wont come back
I said it before, I wont say it again
Love is a game to you, its not pretend
Maybe if I fall asleep, I wont breathe right
Can nobody hear me?
Ive got a lot thats on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it too?
You kiss and you kiss, and you love and you love
Youve got a history list, and the rest is above
And if youre warm, then you cant relate to me
From the floor to the floor, and the sky to the sky
Youve got to love and adore and the rest is awry
And if youre warm, then you cant relate to me
I said it before, I wont say it again
Love is a game to you, its not pretend
Maybe if I fall asleep, I wont breathe right
Can nobody hear me?
Ive got a lot thats on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it too?
Leave your shoes at the door, baby
I am all you adore, lately
Come with me and we will run away!
Can nobody hear me?
Ive got a lot thats on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it too?
Can nobody hear me?
Ive got a lot thats on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it too? |
She says that the world is a broken mess
And its always on her mind
She cries at the news when the shots ring out
Oh, every single time
And no, I cannot fix it, no, I cannot make it stop
So I said, Hey, turn your phone off, wont you look me in my eye?
Cant we live that real life, real life?
Oh, Hey, turn your phone off, wont you look me in my eye?
Cant we live that real life, real life?
She prays on her knees as the towers fall
To a god she does not know
Shes begging him to stop the mess
As the Boston bombs will blow
She says, How could I ever believe in something
That would step aside and watch?
And I got no words to say cause I think I lost my faith
But I fake it for the day, oh, everything will be okay
But no, I cannot fix it, and I cannot make it stop
So I said, Hey, turn your phone off, wont you look me in my eye?
Cant we live that real life, real life?
Oh, Hey, turn your phone off, wont you look me in my eye?
Cant we live that real life, real life?
I wish I had the answers
Something you could hold to
Only thing thats real to me is you
Turn your phone off, wont you look me in my eye?
Cant we live that real life, real life?
Oh, Hey, turn your phone off, wont you look me in my eye?
Cant we live that real life, real life?
Oh, hey
Real life, real life
Oh, hey
Real life, real life
Oh, hey |
Time goes by and still I am stuck on you
Yeah, time goes by and still I am stuck on you, ooh, you, ooh
Ive been afraid, dont wanna fade out of my body
Ive been astray, barely awake, floating above me
Covered in gray, what can I say? Ive been a zombie
Im feeling like Ive been locked in a grave
You were the laugh, you were the life, you were the party
You were the brave, I was the weak, you were the army
You were the faith, you were the truth, I was the sorry
Im feeling like youve been taken away
You were my one, you were my one
When all has been said, all has been done
You were my one, you were my one
Now I am left reaching above me, oh, oh
Time goes by and still I am stuck on you
Ooh, you, ooh
Yeah, time goes by and still I am stuck on you
Ooh, you, ooh
Why did you leave? Why did you go leaving me lonely?
Didnt you know you were the home, you were the only?
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Come back to me
You were my one, you were my one
When all has been said, all has been done
You were my one, you were my one
Now I am left reaching above me, oh, oh
Time goes by and still I am stuck on you
Ooh, you, ooh
Time goes by and still I am stuck on you
Ooh, you, ooh
Time goes by and still I am stuck on you
Yeah, time goes by and still I am stuck on you, stuck on you
Oh, oh, oh, woah
Oh, oh, oh
As time goes by, as time goes by, woah
Time goes by and still I am stuck on you
Ooh, you, ooh
Time goes by and still I am stuck on you

Ive been waiting patiently
I built this tower quietly
And when my well of Wellbutrin is
Running dry of serotonin
I can say things I dont mean
Or maybe its the truth in me
I feel it building, bubbling up
My t-t-time is up
Im so misunderstood
But I live for this , my moneys good
And I came to win , so step on up
And I promise you
Only one of us gon make it out alive and its not you
Only one of us
Only one of us gon make it out alive and its not you
Only one of us
Only one of us gon make it out alive
Ive been making my Gethsemane
Since I was young, my ancestry
Was marching martyrdom across the
Radadada dumbla plains of Utah
I cant lie, Ive been played
By powerful pеople who get their way
But I, in timе, will climb my mountain
I, in time, will rise
Im so misunderstood
But I live for this , my moneys good
And I came to win , so step on up
And I promise you
Only one of us gon make it out alive and its not you
Only one of us
Only one of us gon make it out alive and its not you
Only one of us
Only one of us gon make it out alive
Try me!!
Try me!!
Cutthroat!!
Only one of us, only one of us, not you
Only one of us, only one of us
Only one of us
Get on my knee, get on my knee
Get on my knee, get on my knee
Get on my knee, get on my knee
Get on my knee, get on my knee

Up in the morning
Up in the evening
Picking up clocks
When the birds come back to eat
Oh, to eat
Up on the mountain
Down in the kings lair
Pushing these blocks
In the heat of the afternoon
Oh, afternoon
We were never welcome here
We were never welcome here at all
No
It’s who we are
Doesn’t matter if we’ve gone too far
Doesn’t matter if it’s all okay
Doesn’t matter if it’s not our day
Oh, won’t you save us
What we are?
Don’t look clear
Cause it’s all uphill from here
Oh
Up in the attic
Down in the cellar
Lost in the static
Coming back for more
Oh, for more
Out with the reason
In with the season
Taking down names
In my book of jealousy
Jealousy
We were never welcome here
We were never welcome here at all
No
It’s who we are
Doesn’t matter if we’ve gone too far
Doesn’t matter if it’s all okay
Doesn’t matter if it’s not our day
Because its who we are
Doesn’t matter if we’ve gone too far
Doesn’t matter if it’s all okay
Doesn’t matter if it’s not our day
Oh, wont you save us
What we are?
Don’t look clear
Cause it’s all uphill from here
Oh
They say we’re crazy
They say were crazy
They say were crazy
They say were crazy
They say were crazy
They say were crazy
They say were crazy
They say were crazy
It’s who we are
Doesn’t matter if we’ve gone too far
Doesn’t matter if it’s all okay
Doesn’t matter if it’s not our day
Because its who we are
Doesn’t matter if we’ve gone too far
Doesn’t matter if it’s all okay
Doesn’t matter if it’s not our day
Oh, won’t you save us
What we are?
Don’t look clear
Cause it’s all uphill from here

Theres so much on my mind, I dont know where to start
Its that light in your eye filling up the dark
Though I lost myself, I know its not the end
Youre my shooting star, you make my heart ascend
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Just levitate, just levitate
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la

Just levitate, just levitate
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
I know that were far from where we need to be
But the world wasnt made in just one day
Though our journeys long, I know our love is strong
Youre my shooting star, were flying high above
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Just levitate, just levitate
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
When Im stuck in the middle of hell and faith
I dont know where to turn
To bend my mind as the silver gate
You lead me on my way
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la

Days pass by, and my eyes, they dry, and I think that Im okay
Til I find myself in conversation, fading away
The way you smile, the way you walk
The time you took to teach me all that you had taught
Tell me, how am I supposed to move on?
These days Im becoming everything that I hate
Wishing you were around, but now its too late
My mind is a place that I cant escape your ghost
Sometimes I wish that I could wish it all away
One more rainy day without you
Sometimes I wish that I could see you one more day
One more rainy day
Oh, Im a wreck without you here
Yeah, Im a wreck since youve been gone
Ive tried to put this all behind me
I think I was wrecked all along
Yeah, Im a wreck
They say that the time will heal it, the pain will go away
But everything, it reminds me of you and it comes in waves
The way you laugh when your shoulders shook
The time you took to teach me all that you had taught me
Tell me, how am I supposed to move on?
These days Im becoming everything that I hate
Wishing you were around, but now its too late
My mind is a place that I cant escape your ghost
Sometimes I wish that I could wish it all away
One more rainy day without you
Sometimes I wish that I could see you one more day
One more rainy day
Oh, Im a wreck without you here
Yeah, Im a wreck since youve been gone
Ive tried to put this all behind me
I think I was wrecked all along
These days when Im on the brink of the edge
I remember the words that you said
Remember the life you led
Youd say, Oh, suck it all up, dont get stuck in the mud
Thinking of things that you should have done
Ill see you again, my loved one
Ill see you again, my loved one
Yeah, Im a wreck
Ill see you again, my loved one
Yeah, Im a wreck without you here
Yeah, Im a wreck since you been gone
Ive tried to put this all behind me
I think I was wrecked all along
Yeah, Im a wreck
Sometimes I wish that I could wish it all away
One more rainy day without you
Sometimes I wish that I could see you one more day
One more rainy day |
4 AM, beside myself
And what I think of mental health
All the things that worry me
All the things you dont believe
Ive been told just what to do
Where to look and point my view
All the things that I could be
I think I learned in therapy
Am I just a shadow you drew?
It comes back to you
It comes back to you
All the things that you had lost
Will find their way to you
It comes back to you
It comes back to you
Looking back into the past
And I can see it through
It comes back to you, oh
It comes back to you, oh
It comes back to you, oh
It comes back to you
Mocking birds and diamond rings
Oh, I have thought of greater things
All the things that fly by me
All the lives that I could lead
Maybe I was born for that
Or maybe I was first to last
You could call it cowardice
But leave me to my studied bliss
Am I just a shadow you drew?
It comes back to you
It comes back to you
All the things that you had lost
Will find their way to you
It comes back to you
It comes back to you
Looking back into the past
And I can see it through
It comes back to you, oh
It comes back to you, oh
It comes back to you, oh
It comes back to you |
Maybe Im broken, maybe Im wrong
I couldve spoken sooner than I shouldve
Only the good die old
Thats what they told me, but I dont know
Maybe Im breaking up with myself
Maybe Im thinking
I should just keep to the things that Ive been told
Wait for the colors to turn to gold
Do you know? Do you know?
Youre all I know, youre all I know
When everything comes crashing down
Youre all I know, youre all I know
Im ready for the fall
Im ready for everything
That I believed in to drift away
Ready for the leaves
Ready for the colors to burn to gold and crumble away
Maybe Im destined to be distraught
Always a reason, breaking me down to my
Knees in the dead of night
I keep on praying to see the light, oh-oh-oh
Maybe Im breaking up with myself
Maybe Im thinking
I should just keep to the things that Ive been told
Wait for the colors to turn to gold
Do you know? Do you know?
Youre all I know, youre all I know
When everything comes crashing down
Youre all I know, youre all I know
Do you know? Do you know?
Youre all I know, youre all I know
When everything comes crashing down
Youre all I know, youre all I know
Im ready for the fall
Im ready for everything
That I believed in to drift away
Ready for the leaves
Ready for the colors to burn to gold and crumble away
You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me
You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me
You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me
You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me
You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me
You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me
Im ready for the fall
Ready for the leaves
Ready for the colors to burn to gold and crumble away |
All around me are familiar faces
Worn-out places, worn-out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which Im dying
Are the best Ive ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
Its a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello, teacher, tell me whats my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which Im dying
Are the best Ive ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
Its a very very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world |
Can I wish on a star for another life?
Cause it feels like Im all on my own tonight
And I find myself in pieces
There are pills on the table and a thought in my head
And I walk through the halls where I used to be led
My heart is filled with reasons
Im trying to be somebody else
Im finding it hard to love myself
Ive wanted to be somebody new
But that is impossible to do
Im running out of my mind
Is this really my life?
Im running out of time
Is this really my life? My life
I could run from it all, but Id only get lost
Oh, Ive walked on the bridge that I shouldnt have crossed
And I find myself a user
Oh, I wake every day with addictions to feed
They all call me a friend, but Ill never be freed
From the face of a faithless future
Im trying to be somebody else
Im finding it hard to love myself
Ive wanted to be somebody new
But that is impossible to do
Im running out of my mind
Is this really my life?
Im running out of time
Is this really my life? My life
These years pass by and were growing older
And I think of you, all weve made it through
Some have passed away, some have moved on
But Im still here today
These years pass by and I am growing older
And I think of you and all weve made it through
Some have passed away, theres no words to say
No second tries, is this my life?
And I think of you
Im running out of my mind
Is this really my life?
Im running out of time
Is this really my life? My life |
Take a hit of anything
To escape it all, Im suffocating
A sharpened blade of reality
Sometimes, I wanna hurt me
I know its hard to hear, but Im
Waitin for the new year
Dont wanna waste my life chasin white
Try to swim towards the light
Comin up for air in the deepest of the deep ends
I thought I learned it all, but boom, the plot thickens
Sleepin with giants, Im tip-toein quietly
Feelin it all, its sobriety
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Got so tired of feelin numb
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Well, take a look what Ive become
Sleepin with giants, Im tip-toein quietly
Feelin it all, its sobriety
Wanna make you proud of me
But slowly, I am killing me
Playing with chemistry
Floating to thе ceiling
Always rock n roll til you die, you know, you been flyin
Now Im shaking at night, sweating thе sheets out
Grinding my teeth out
But still the world will glamorize it all
Comin up for air in the deepest of the deep ends
I thought I learned it all, but boom, the plot thickens
Sleepin with giants, Im tip-toein quietly
Feelin it all, its sobriety
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Got so tired of feelin numb
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Well, take a look what Ive become
Sleepin with giants, Im tip-toein quietly
Feelin it all, its sobriety
If I could leave one thing for you
Its exactly what not to do
Im so proud of you
Take a look what Ive become
Oh, take a look what Ive
Comin up for air in the deepest of the deep ends
I thought I learned it all, but boom, the plot thickens
Sleepin with giants, Im tip-toein quietly
Feelin it all, its sobriety
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Got so tired of feelin numb
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Well, take a look what Ive become
Sleepin with giants, Im tip-toein quietly
Feelin it all, its sobriety |
Sometimes, I can get a little
I can get a little lonely
Sometimes, I can get a little
I can get a little lonely
Some nights I get a little lonely
Its even when theres people all around me
Sometimes I get a little anxious
Cause these pills dont work the way the doctor played it
Im startin to spin, needles and pins
Right on the brim, hand on a limb, takin it in
Sleep it away, life in a day, no day in a life
Mixin it up, checkin it twice
Tryin to breathe, startin to seize
Lights, camera, action and scene
Story of my life
Oh, love
Have mercy
On me
And keep me company
I said oh, love
Have mercy
On me
And keep me company
I said—
Sometimes, I smile to keep things easy
I hide in corners, hope that no one sees me
So Im playin the role, ridin the bull, stuck in a hole
Takin a bow, lookin so proud
Look at me now, talkin about pills in my mouth
Under the tongue, isnt it fun?
Tryin to breathe, startin to seize
Lights, camera, action and scene
Story of my life, oh-oh
Oh, love
Have mercy
On me
And keep me company
I said oh, love
Have mercy
On me
And keep me company
I said, Oh, love
Have mercy
Oh, love, can you please have mercy on me?
Can you keep me company?
L-O-N-E-L-Why am I so lonely?
Oh, love
Have mercy
On me
And keep me company
I said, oh, love
Have mercy
On me
And keep me company
I said, oh— |
Is this just an illusion
That I made inside my head to get me by?
Twenty years in debt
Twenty years in the government
Twenty years can never get me by
And I feel you close
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Feel you close
Like you wanted me to
Believe in you
Rise to the top of the world
America, America, dont you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the world
America, America, dont you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
From farmers in the fields
To the tallest of the towers that fall and rise
1-7-7-6, the names upon the list
For all the ones who gave until they died
Dont you hold back
I can see in your mind, and your mind will set you free
And I feel you close
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Feel you close
Like you wanted me to
Believe in you
Rise to the top of the world
America, America, dont you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the world
America, America, dont you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the world
America, America, dont you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the world
America, America, dont you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on |
Im holding my breath, holding so tight
Nothing is wrong, nothing is right
Im in the dark, looking for light
Wont someone please save my life?
Inside, Im a mess, but I dont let it show
Im just hanging on, but youd never know
I smile all day, and cry through the night
Wont someone please save my
Life is fleeting
Dull knives taking my life
A slow burn fire from the inside
Dull knives twisting my spine
Theyre taking their time, time
Til I lose my mind
A smoldering flame, deep in my heart
Barely a sign, its barely a spark
Holding on through every night
Wont someonе please save my lifе?
Im crying for help, its such a cliché
Invisible pain, its filling each day
I open my mouth and feed you a lie
Wont someone please save
My life is fleeting, no repeating
Dull knives taking my life
A slow burn fire from the inside
Dull knives twisting my spine
Theyre taking their time, time
Til I lose my mind
Dull knives ripping from the inside
Spare me the ride
From the inside
Dull knives twisting my spine
Theyre taking their time, time
Til I lose my mind
Dull knives |
We are all living the same way, the same way
We are escaping the same way, the same way
Circling
We are a part of the same play, the same play
We think were making our own way, our own way
Circling
You don’t have to hold your head up high
Round and round
I won’t run away this time
Til you show me what this life is for
Round and round
I’m not gonna let you change my mind
Til you show me what this life is for
We are afflicted by fiction, by fiction
Building a case for eviction, eviction
Circling
Guarding a tower of ancients, of ancients
Shooting down arrows of patience, impatiently
Circling
You don’t have to hold your head up high
Round and round
I won’t run away this time
Til you show me what this life is for
Round and round
I’m not gonna let you change my mind
Til you show me what this life is for
All the emptiness inside you
Is hard enough to fill
Without a sense of purpose
Were setting up to fail
You don’t have to make it right
Just hold your head up high
Round and round
I won’t run away this time
Til you show me what this life is for
Round and round
I’m not gonna let you change my mind
Til you show me what this life is for |
Oh, quiet down, Ive had enough
I guess its now or never
Ive been around, Ive settled up
Ill bolt soon or later
I took a photograph of me
When I was only nineteen
I looked a little lost at sea
I keep trying to find me
So pray for me, brother, I need redemption
Im just a man, a man on a mission
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
Pray for me, sister, give me a mention
I got no faith, and oh, did I mention
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
Oh pack it up, and hit the road
And only take my lighter
Ive seen the glitz, Ive seen the glam
But I prefer the pay dirt
I took a photograph of me
When I was only nineteen
I looked a little lost at sea
I keep trying to find me
So pray for me brother, I need redemption
Im just a man, a man on a mission
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
Pray for me sister, give me a mention
I got no faith, and oh, did I mention
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
Maybe you could save my soul
From all the things that I dont know
Maybe you could save my soul
From all the things that I dont know
So pray for me brother, I need redemption
Im just a man, a man on a mission
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
Pray for me sister, give me a mention
I got no faith, and oh, did I mention
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
I want no trouble, I want no trouble |

Ill just turn and go
Im coming home to you

Coming home to you
Every night, every night, every night, every night
My mind is made up
Nothing could change that

No matter, no matter, no matter what were facing
It dont matter, it dont matter
Cause the reason Im here
Is the same through all these years
Im not changing, Im not changing anything at all!
Im coming home to you
Every night, every night, every night, every night
Coming home to you
Every night, every night, every night, every night
My mind is made up
Nothing could change that
Im coming home to you
Every night, every night, every night, every night |
With my heart upon my sleeve
My head down low, I still feel broken
Down upon my knees
With my head down low and I still feel broken
Where are you? Where are you?
Oh, now that I need you most and
A heart upon my sleeve, broken down, woah
I guess Im just down on my luck a bit, shakin me out of it
I guess Im just down on my luck a bit, shakin me out of it
With my heart upon my sleeve
My head down low, I still feel broken
Down upon my knees
With my head down low and I still feel broken
Where are you? Where are you?
Oh, now that I need you most and
A heart upon my sleeve, broken down, down, down, down
Now, I cant go a single day without thinking of the words Id say
And I cant do a single thing without thinking of you, thinking of you
Now Im just left with the pieces to put back together
With my heart upon my sleeve
My head down low, I still feel broken
Down upon my knees
With my head down low and I still feel broken
Where are you? Where are you?
Oh, now that I need you most and
My heart upon my sleeve, broken down, down, down, down |
To the top of all the world
To the tasteless underworld
To the center of your heart
Oh, Cleopatra is the only one you loved
To the demonstrated smile
To the lonely love child
Destination desolation
Tell me when you reach the brink of life
Just a picture on your wall
Thats nice, what a metaphoric fall
Typically, I was a validation on your sleeve
Oh, what an indication
To the center of the pain
Through the tattered window pane
To the middle of your heart
Resolutions and lovers in the kitchen
Love is clueless and destiny is wishing
This is my heart, its on the line, Selene
This is not what I expect
This is not what I expect
I can see it in your tears
And now they’re crowning me the Caesar
Typically, I was a validation on your sleeve
Oh, what an indication
To the center of the pain
Through your tattered window pane
To the middle of your heart
Resolutions and lovers in the kitchen
Love is clueless and destiny is wishing
This is my heart, its on the line, Selene
Resolutions and lovers in the kitchen
Love is clueless and destiny is wishing
This is my heart, its on the line, Selene
This is my heart, its on the line
This is my heart, its on the line
This is my heart, its on the line, Selene
Resolutions and lovers in the kitchen
Love is clueless and destiny is wishing
This is my heart, its on the line, Selene |
She could always hear every word they say
Everybody walks like they just know the way
Every single day holding back the tears
Shed never say a word cause theres nobody that hears
Its okay to be not okay
Its just fine to be out of your mind
Breathe in deep, just a day at a time
Cause its okay to be out of your mind, mind
Mine is broken, how is yours?
Sure, it helps to hear the news and political discourse
Fear, that is what he felt
Every single day as all the boys would play
Dont you darе be weak, emasculatеd freak
Last up on the fence, tell me, wheres the sense?
Its okay to be not okay
Its just fine to be out of your mind
Breathe in deep, just a day at a time
Cause its okay to be out of your mind
I dont want this body, I dont want this voice
I dont wanna be here, but I guess I have no choice
Just let me live my truth, thats all I wanna do
Baby, youre not broken, just a little bit confused
Its okay to be not okay
Its just fine to be out of your mind
Breathe in deep, just a day at a time
Cause its okay to be out of your mind
Its okay to be not okay
Its just fine to be out of your mind
Breathe in deep, just a day at a time
Cause its okay to be out of your mind

Could someone take me home where Im supposed to be?
Im on my back again, caught up in something
Could someone take me home? I could use a friendly face

If only for a second
Let me have you
Tell me all your secrets
Let me know you
Ooh, ooh
Paint me all your pictures
Hang them on my wall
Show me all your colors
Show me all
Open up your eyes, open up your mind
Fall in line with what youre meant to be
Open up your eyes, open up your mind
Fall in line with what youre meant to be
A fire burns into you
Purifying all
And what I saw was opulence
And thats not for me
And thats not for me
And thats not for me
Only in the summertime
Only in the summertime
Things will change with time
Only in the summertime
Open up your eyes, open up your mind
Fall in line with what youre meant to be

All my friends are gone, I dont blame them
I guess Id move on, do the same thing
So I wrote a song to be my lullaby
Sing me to sleep at night, open my third eye
Im not gon lie to you, I miss you so much
Tell me what I did wrong to lose touch?
Im not gon lie to you, this has been a hard year
How I wish that you were here
I just need to let it go, waitin on a miracle
Guess thats just the way it goes, easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go, turn it down and lay low
Its just the way it goes, easy come, easy go
Sometimes I drive a little too fast
Think Im runnin from demons of my past
So I wrote a song to help me slow down
Keep my mind straight, but its a bit late
Im not gon lie to you, I miss you so much
Tell me what I did wrong to lose touch?
Im not gon lie to you, this has been a hard year
How I wish that you were here
I just need to let it go, waitin on a miracle
Guess thats just the way it goes, easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go, turn it down and lay low
Its just the way it goes, easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go , waitin on a miracle
Guess thats just the way it goes , easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go , turn it down, and lay low
Its just the way it goes , easy come, easy go
Remember when you got sick, cancer of the bone
Everyone in school while youre sittin at home
In your wheelchair of grief, find no relief
We were there for the ups and downs and there for the constant rounds of chemo
Yeah, you know that you are our hero
You were there when I was a zero
And I swear Ill make things right before the long night
Swear Ill make things right tomorrow
But as for tonight
I just need to let it go , waitin on a miracle
Guess thats just the way it goes , easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go , turn it down, and lay low
Its just the way it goes , easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go , waitin on a miracle
Guess thats just the way it goes , easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go , turn it down, and lay low
Its just the way it goes , easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go , waitin on a miracle
Guess thats just the way it goes , easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go , turn it down, and lay low
Its just the way it goes, easy come, easy go |
With our backs to the wall, the darkness will fall
We never quite thought we could lose it all
Ready, aim, fire, ready, aim, fire
An empires fall in just one day
You close your eyes and the glory fades
Ready, aim, fire, ready, aim, fire away
Ready, aim, fire, ready, aim, fire away
Off in the distance, there is resistance
Bubbling up and festering
Hey Mr. Motion, make me a potion
Shake it all up with your mystery
How come Ive never seen your face around here?
I know every single face around here
A man on a mission, changing the vision
I was never welcome here
We dont have a choice to stay
Wed rather die than do it your way
With our backs to the wall, the darkness will fall
We never quite thought we could lose it all
Ready, aim, fire, ready, aim, fire
An empires fall in just one day
You close your eyes and the glory fades
Ready, aim, fire, ready, aim, fire away
Ready, aim, fire, ready, aim, fire away
Back in the casing, shaking and pacing
This is the tunnels light
Blood in the writing, stuck in the fighting
Look through the rifles sight
How come Ive never seen your face around here?
I know every single face around here
Hearing the heckle, holding the shackle
I was never welcome here
We dont have a choice to stay
Wed rather die than do it your way
With our backs to the wall, the darkness will fall
We never quite thought we could lose it all
Ready, aim, fire, ready, aim, fire
An empires fall in just one day
You close your eyes and the glory fades
Ready, aim, fire, ready, aim, fire away
Ready, aim, fire, ready, aim, fire away
Oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh

With our backs to the wall, the darkness will fall
We never quite thought we could lose it all

An empires fall in just one day
You close your eyes and the glory fades
Ready, aim, fire, ready, aim, fire away

Its just another day
Its just another year
One step at a time, they say
One trip, and youre back that way
I dont recognize these eyes
I dont recognize these hands
Please believe me when I tell you
That this is not who I am
If I recover, will you take me back again?
Im just another, trying hard to fit right in
But the photographs remind me of who I used to be
If only I could go back when I, I was me
Ill try hard to make this ride
Ill try hard to win this fight
One step at a time, they say
One trip, and youre back that way
I dont recognize these eyes
I dont recognize these hands
Please believe me when I tell you
That this is not who I am
If I recover, will you take me back again?
Im just another, trying hard to fit right in
But the photographs remind me of who I used to be
If only I could go back when I, I was me
Give me strength to fight
Help me feel alive again
Make me whole inside
Instead, this hole inside is killing me
And Im begging you
If I recover, will you take me back again?
Im just another, trying hard to fit right in
But the photographs remind me of who I used to be
If only I could go back when I, I was me |
The way they look at me

What they talk about
When Im not around
Got no time for that

Twenty miles from anyone
Set my sights on the setting sun
Heaven talks, but not to me
Cause Heaven knows that nothing good comes free
Desolation tragedy
Is there nothing good in me, is there nothing good in me?
Is there nothing good in me, is there nothing good in me?
Ive let me down, down, down, down
Ive let me down, down, down, down
Petty lies to everyone
In the hopes that I could be someone
Heaven talks, but not to me
And now I wonder if its meant to be

Desolation tragedy

Am I out of touch? Am I out of my place?

Oh Im wishin youre here, but Im wishin youre gone
I cant have you and Im only gonna do you wrong
Oh, Im gonna mess this up, oh, this is just my luck
Over and over and over again
In the mean time, we let it go

If only you, you could see
The darkest place that you could be
Oh, maybe then, youd understand
From desert heat to cobbled streets
From broken home to the city beat
Theres so much more than you could know
So take me back when I believed
Back when I was unafraid, just like a thief
And all the heights that I could reach
Back when I was unafraid, just like a thief
If I could live a thousand times
If I could make a thousand tries
Oh, maybe then, Id get it right
The more I see, the more I know
That everyone just wants a show
No, we dont want to see the truth
So take me back when I believed
Back when I was unafraid, just like a thief
And all the heights that I could reach
Back when I was unafraid, just like a thief
When the stars look down on me
What do they see?
When the stars look down on me
What do they see?
When the stars look down on me
What do they see?
When the stars look down on me
What do they see?
When the stars look down on me

First things first
Ima say all the words inside my head
Im fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh
The way that things have been, oh-ooh
Second thing second
Dont you tell me what you think that I can be
Im the one at the sail, Im the master of my sea, oh
The master of my sea, oh
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That looked at me took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Take up my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...
Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain! You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
All the words inside my
Believer
You break me down you build me up, believer
Pain
All the words inside my
Believer
You break me down you build me up, believer
Pain
Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that youve heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh-ooh
Your spirit up above, oh-ooh
I was choking in the crowd
Living my brain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived
Ebbing and flowing, inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and it rained down
It rained down, like...
Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain! You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
All the words inside my
Believer
You break me down you build me up, believer
Pain
All the words inside my
Believer
You break me down you build me up, believer
Pain |
I dont sleep so well at night
Waking up and shivering
Heaters gone and moneys tight
In this little home that Im living in
Youve gotta live your life
While your blood is boiling
Those doors wont open
While you stand and watch them
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
What is with you?
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
Ive never seen this side of you
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
What is with you?

I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling
I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling
I dont think its quite the same
Just running out to feel the rain
Staring as the stars parade
Are they telling me its gonna be okay?
Youve gotta live your life
While your blood is boiling
Those doors wont open
While you stand and watch them
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
What is with you?
Oh-oh oh-oh oh

I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling
I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling
We are all living, till we grow older
You be the worker, Ill be the soldier
I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling
I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling |
I wake up every morning with a new resolve
Two hands and one heart, let the world revolve
One eye to the ocean and one to the sky
One life of devotion and where am I?
One heart to love within my chest
One life to live
I keep skipping stones, hoping for a change
But things just stay the same
I keep walking roads, looking for a home
That I can call my own
Skipping stones
Im skipping stones
Im skipping stones
Im skipping stones
One chance to reach out and find a place for me
One chance to find love for all humanity
One eye to the mountain and one to the sands
One dime for the fountain and one for my hand
One heart to love within my chest
One heart to love
I keep skipping stones, hoping for a change
But things just stay the same
I keep walking roads, looking for a home
That I can call my own
Skipping stones
Im skipping stones
Im skipping stones
Im skipping stones
Skipping stones
Im skipping stones
Im skipping stones
Im skipping stones
Love is not a product of reasonings and statistics. It just comes — none knows whence — and cannot explain itself
Love is a madness, if thwarted it develops fast
When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain
I keep skipping stones, hoping for a change
But things just stay the same
I keep walking roads, looking for a home
That I can call my own
Skipping stones
Im skipping stones
Im skipping stones
Im skipping stones
Skipping stones
Im skipping stones
Im skipping stones
Im skipping stones |
Thunder, thunder, thunder, th-th-thunder
Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thunder, th-th-thunder
Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder
Just a young gun with a quick fuse
I was uptight, wanna let loose
I was dreaming of bigger things
And wanna leave my own life behind
Not a yes sir, not a follower
Fit the box, fit the mold
Have a seat in the foyer, take a number
I was lightning before the thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder
Thunder, thunder
Thunder
Kids were laughing in my classes
While I was scheming for the masses
Who do you think you are?
Dreaming bout being a big star
They say youre basic, they say youre easy
Youre always riding in the backseat
Now Im smiling from the stage
While you were clapping in the nose bleeds
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder
Thunder
Broke down on a lonely highway
So loud, all the screams in my brain
Oh how I believed in my pain
Like it was my God
Looked back and I saw the dark clouds
Took that and I made my mom proud
Its easy to jump when you know how to fall
And lately I fall a lot
Dont wanna sit around and wait, just hanging on a fantasy
Im trying to be the kind of person who creates an energy
I hope I got the storm inside to maybe make a better me
Some people chalk it up to fate, I dont believe in destiny
I guess I had a spark inside I couldnt light when I was younger
Oftentimes I think you really need to fight to find the hunger
Lightning gets the shine but Ive
Ive been working on the thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder
Thunder |
I took a walk on a Saturday night
Fog in the air just to make my mind seem clear
Where do I go from here?
I see my breath pushing steam through the air
Shaking hands run through my hair
My fears, where do I go from here?
Is it my fault, is it my fault?
Weve been missing each other
Weve been missing each other
My fault, is it my fault?
Weve been missing each other
Weve been missing each other
Walking down to the waters edge
Asking why Im here instead of home
Now I stand alone
I stop to stare at the ocean side
Im breathing in just to fill inside with peace
Like you were here with me
Is it my fault, is it my fault?
Weve been missing each other
Weve been missing each other
My fault, is it my fault?
Weve been missing each other
Weve been missing each other
Oh, its on the warmest night
Its in the brightest light
Its when the world is moving
Oh, its in the faintest cry
Its in the lovers eyes
Is when I need you most
And dont you know?
Is it my fault, is it my fault?
Weve been missing each other
Weve been missing each other
My fault, is it my fault?
Weve been missing each other
Weve been missing each other
My fault, is it my fault?
Weve been missing each other
Weve been missing each other
My fault, is it my fault?
Weve been missing each other
Weve been missing each other |

Promisе you that you are better off without them

One day
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
One day |
In the latest midnight hour
When the world has gone to sleep
You gotta get up
When doubts begin to rise
And the world is at your feet
You gotta get up
Reach, its not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
For anyone but myself
Im not a selfless man
Im not a man of wealth
If I had all the world
Probably give it to myself
But the trees begin to walk
And the ground begins to talk
But myself
Reach, its not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
For anyone but myself
Hold my place
Dont you give up on me
Hold on, hold on
Reach, its not as bad as it seems
(Love doesnt come til you give it up
Love doesnt come til you give it up)
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
(Love doesnt come til you give it up
Love doesnt come til you give it up)
For anyone but myself
Reach, its not as bad as it seems
(Love doesnt come til you give it up
Love doesnt come til you give it up)
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
(Love doesnt come til you give it up
Love doesnt come til you give it up) |
Woman help me, you turn my head in circles
Mama blessed me with magnet eyes for purple
Oh so let me show you something good
Pastor, preacher, I wanna say Im sorry
Nice to meet ya, I think my eyes are starry
Pledge allegiance to my only
Sooner or later it all comes around
Hopefully then I will see
After the people and places are gone
You will come back, you will come back to me
To me, to me
You will come back to me
To me, to me
Auntie Mara, I think you know my reasons
I was a product of everything in season
Oh so heavy, set me free again
Oh my papa, if all the world could know you
You could stop a thousand wars across the globe
Oh I miss ya, show them something good
Sooner or later it all comes around
Hopefully then I will see
After the people and places are gone
You will come back, you will come back to me
To me, to me
You will come back to me
To me, to me
To me, to me
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh |
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there, and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Loves a game, wanna play?
Eh, eh
New money, suit and tie
I could read you like a magazine
Aint it funny, rumours fly
And I know you heard about me
So, hey, lets be friends
Dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I could make a bad guy good for a weekend
So, its gonna be forever
Or its gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when its over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
Theyll tell you Im insane
Cause, you know, I love the players
And you love the game
Cause were young and were reckless
And well take this way too far
Itll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
Theyll tell you Im insane
But Ive got a blank space, baby
And Ill write your name
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
Youre the king, baby, Im your queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come
Oh, no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose gardens filled with thorns
Keep you second-guessing like
Oh my God, who is she?
I get drunk on jealousy
But youll come back each time you leave
Cause darlin, Im a nightmare dressed like a daydream
So, its gonna be forever
Or its gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when its over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
Theyll tell you Im insane
Cause, you know, I love the players
And you love the game
Cause were young and were reckless
And well take this way too far
Itll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
Theyll tell you Im insane
But Ive got a blank space, baby...
When the night has come and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No, I wont be afraid, no, I wont be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darlin, darlin
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, stand by me
Stand by me
Cause were young and were reckless
And well take this way too far
Itll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
Theyll tell you Im insane
But Ive got a blank space, baby
And Ill write your name
Clapping and cheering
Thank you |
Babys got a lot of baggage
It dont seem to matter, it dont seem to matter
Bought a ticket to the mid-west, just for business
But dismissed it from the interest
It was a risk just for a mistress
Who was a hostess on the West Coast
Dont you see it in my eyes tonight?
Babys got a lot of baggage
Where do I have to go
To find a honey with a little soul?
Tokyo, Tokyo, turn out the lights and let it go
Oh, its nice to meet you
Kimi tanoshimu
Tokyo, Tokyo, pay in the palms of the rocknroll
Get that dynamite
Chick-a-boom on the town tonight
I never seem to get it right
But you can show me so politely
Now dont you see it in my eyes tonight?
Get that dynamite
Where do I have to go
To find a honey with a little soul?
Tokyo, Tokyo, turn out the lights and let it go
Oh, its nice to meet you
Kimi tanoshimu
Tokyo, Tokyo, pay in the palms of the rocknroll
Hey, I come back to where you are
Hey, I come back to where you are

Run for cover
My sense of fear is running thin
Under cover
Just like a candle in the wind
Tell everybody, tell everybody
Brother, sister, the ending is coming
Ohh, we are fallen, we are fallen
Ohh, we are fallen, we are fallen
Now were just gonna ride it out
Every morning
Im staring shadows in the eye
Oh, good morning
Will you just wait until I die?
Tell everybody, tell everybody
Brother, sister, the ending is coming
Ohh, we are fallen, we are fallen
Ohh, we are fallen, we are fallen
Now were just going to ride it out
Ohh, tell everybody tell everybody
Ohh, tell everybody we are fallen
Ohh, we are fallen, we are fallen
Ohh, we are fallen, we are fallen
Now were just gonna ride it out
I just want to take it in
Even when your fire runs out
Will you start it up again?
We are fallen |
I get caught in the water, get torn in the wind
I could drown in the river, while the sun burns dim
I get tossed by the ocean, fall deep in the sand
I’m drowned out by the thunder, lost in the land
Is anyone listening?
Is anyone around to see?
That I’m doing it all for you
I’m doing it all for you
I’m ready to go
I’m ready to go
I’m doing it all for you
I’m doing it all for you
I’m ready to go
I’m ready to go
Twenty five seconds
Your heart will stop resting
Your body, start shaking
Your mind is now ready to go
Ready to go
Twenty five seconds
Your heart will stop resting
Your body, start shaking
Your mind is now ready to go
Ready to go
I said
Twenty five seconds
Your heart will stop resting
Your body, start shaking
Your mind is now ready to go

The Lyrics dataset parsed from Genius. This dataset is designed to generate lyrics with HuggingArtists. Model is available here.
en
How to load this dataset directly with the datasets library:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("huggingartists/imagine-dragons")
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
This example was too long and was cropped:
{
"text": "Look, I was gonna go easy on you\nNot to hurt your feelings\nBut I'm only going to get this one chance\nSomething's wrong, I can feel it..."
}
The data fields are the same among all splits.
text
: a string
feature.train | validation | test |
---|---|---|
272 | - | - |
'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:
from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np
datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/imagine-dragons")
train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03
train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])
datasets = DatasetDict(
{
'train': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(train)}),
'validation': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(validation)}),
'test': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(test)})
}
)
