The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side,
Everything about this house
Was born to grow and die.
It doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said I'm sorry honey,
If I don't change the pace,
I can't face another day.
And love lies bleeding in my hand,
It kills me to think of you with another man.
I was playing rock-n-roll and you were just a fan,
But my guitar couldn't hold you
So I split the band.
Love lies bleeding in my hands.
I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you,
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through.
You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now,
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
your're all smoke and mirrors and i've caught
to you and found you choking on chances of
days dead and gone. old man your guns are
rusted you've forgotten how to fight! lay down.
Water broken voice, saturates a microphone
into a receiver with no tongue
offering, little to what it knows
Then a silence so heavy, broken hearts fall from throats
when heaven is remembered but never seen
through hearts shaped like kaleidoscopes
Eternally, the sun has set to mourning
and contoured are the backgrounds
on the canvas to which our lives are painted
Can't beat the best ones
A little closer maybe a bit too close
You function you turn out
A flawless performance
Turn your camera away from me
Spill your guts in 8mm
Put your focus where your mouth is
You're the only one who's fading here
Such holidays in the sun don't come without sacrifices
You know it makes more sense
I like the way you cry
Break my heart and break my hands and let me down
I want to snap your neck in two
And leave you dead, so dead
on and on and on and on and on (go!)...
No matter where you go
They'll fucking tie you down
And bleed you from your wrists (bleed you from your wrists)
Well, it's better that we leave
Leave it this way (leave it this way)
And just to soften the blow
I'll steal all of your kisses (your kisses)
And sew them up
In the creases of our hearts.
No matter where you go

In the creases of our
HEARTS [x2]
I never really loved you anyway.
HEARTS [x2]
I never really loved you anyway.
HEARTS [x2]
I never really loved you anyway.
HEARTS [x2]
I never really loved you anyway.
And on the one thing you betted on
Don't ever let them take you down.
Oh, on the one thing you betted on
Don't ever let them take you down.
You say it's not going to work out
Why do you have to tell me now
Is there a difference in anything
You've said and done
Or is it just the way we've been pretending
I'm leaving
Do me a favour don't even think of me now
Just when you thought it was over
It had only just begun
I'm not going to let this tear me apart
She's not my only reason
He's not my only reason she said
You're a weakness to me
You should've sent me a note
Or wrote me a letter
I wish it was how we planned
Everything will work out
You said I hated you if only that was true
You should've said that he'd be happy now
Tied to the testing of wills, and my heart breaks and spills
Left to the sight of the sky, in your arms I'm defined
Thrown to the wolves in the minds of your enemies
And I'm stone in the eyes of your foolishness
If this is what I'm meant for , no longer interesting
Fall forward just to even the score
Just a thought to you
And I'm nothing more than a line in your book
In the black and white, you're wounds all bound
Sitting at the table, you're biting nails all short
We to the consequence of adultery
Well as he rips you from your skin
We're all playing for this and in your prayers
Will you believe?
Would you beleive?
You believe, you believe
Just for the first time
You believe, you believe
Just like the last time
You believe, you believe
A seam away from breaking
You believe, you believe
Always forever
We're tasting you for the first time
Just to breathe you in
We're breaking you for the first time
We'll bathed sin
We'll bathed sin
You believe, you believe
Just for the first time
You believe, you believe
Just like the last time
You believe, you believe
A seam away from breaking
You believe, you believe
Always forever
Will the embers will burn you?
Will the embers will burn you?
Will burn you
Will burn you tonight
Will burn you
Will burn you tonight
Moments forever faded
Will burn you tonight
Moments forever faded
Will burn you tonight
Moments forever faded
Will burn you tonight
Tied to the testin' of wills
When my heart breaks and spills
Left to the sight of the sky
In your arms I'm defined
Thrown to the wolves
In the minds of your enemies
And I'm stoned in the eyes
Of your foolishness
If this is what I'm meant for
No longer interesting
Fall forward just to even the score
Just a thought to you
Tied to the testing of wills
When my heart breaks and spills
Left to the sight of the sky
In your arms I'm defined
Thrown to the wolves in the minds of your enemies
In the minds of your enemies
And I'm stoned in the eyes
Of your foolishness
And I'm nothing more without a line in your book
Yet I'm nothin' more without a line in your book
Yet I'm nothin' more without a line in your book
Yet I'm nothin' more than a line in your book
In your book
In your book
If this is what I'm meant for
No longer interesting
Fall forward just to even the score
Just a thought to you
Juneau tell you
Juneau tell you
Yet I'm nothin' more, yet I'm nothin' more
Than a line in your book
Growing up
Around these streets
Never really felt quite like
Like anything
It's where nothing
Has a chance
To really go somewhere
That you can't
My love is exploitation
And the passing celebration
And I don't want to feel
Like a part of history
Going through this town
Upside down
Weekends are railway rides
Just a few
Promises broken
At quarter past five
Burning fires
On the railway hillsides
My love is exploitation
And the passing celebration
And I don't want to feel
Like a part of history
And the grass is greener
On the other side
It's where I wanna be
Somewhere that she can really see
We all go out like we come in
Kicking and screaming
We all go out like we come in
Kicking and screaminggg
We all go out like we come innn
Kicking and screaminggg!
My love is exploitation
And the passing celebration
And I don't want to feel
Like a part of history
And the grass is greener
On the other side
It's where I wanna be
Mark these words and hear their truth
You mean nothing to me
Your handshakes to play fake make me want to scream
The engine runs harder than your lies never could
Than your lies ever could
Just to mark these words
What price do we pay for something that we give away?
To reclaim what we have lost
Never to be found
Thieves stealing the beating heart of our art
And trample it into dust
Like lifelines and hard times
There are enough to go around
Break the back of this slavery
We are nothing but cattles
Another sale in the marketplace
There's enough to go around
What price do we pay for something that we give away?
To reclaim what we have lost
Never to be found
We disengage
Nothing left to say (nothing left to say)
To hold us down (nothing left to say)
To hold us down (we disengage)
What price do we pay for something that we give away?
To reclaim what we have lost
Scarred, open wounds, the needle, it dances and glows through the skin.
All the lights that burn so bright and the light we see at night
The light has faded, through the windows
The light has faded, through the windows
Just try to destroy, friends, (caves), people you know, people you don't.
Walk the empty paces just to sleep away the days
The light has faded, through the windows
The light has faded, through the windows
Well, let's go the waterfront where the kids all stare into the air
Well, let's go the waterfront where the kids all stare into the air
to wait for your breath to come
your breath to come
your breath to come
your breath to come
The fantasy of reality comes rushing through your head
Just a symphony of a restless dream taps through your finger tips
Well, let's go the waterfront where the kids all stare into the air.
Well, let's go the waterfront where the kids all stare into the air
I'm never going to change, I'm
never going to change a thing and
what is there to gain, pretending
you're something when you're not
and there's nothing left of how things used to be.
To nail the blame of your mistakes to anyone but you.
I'm cutting the cord;
I'm cutting the cord that keeps me.
I'm cutting the ties;
I'm cutting the ties that
bind my feet to the ground
It's getting harder to stay true
when we were younger but that's
not to say we should give in.
To nail the blame of your mistakes to anyone but you.
I'm cutting the cord;
I'm cutting the cord that keeps me.
I'm cutting the ties;
I'm cutting the ties that
bind my feet to the ground, my head in the sand.
And when did the doors start to
close and why did we just turn away?
In favour of some passing
trend that lets us down everyday.
And do we believe in the words?
Do we believe in the words that
we say when we're screaming in
Revealing your desire
Upon these ashes
In your fear
It will swallow the river that divides
There's no life in here at all
To seek this self decay
There's no life in here at all
To take these dreams away
This burning ever
Will conquer all you see
And this burning ever
Will bury your heart
There's no life in here at all
To seek this self decay
There's no life in here at all
To take these dreams away
So what are we all built upon
Soon fragile in decay
What are we all built upon
To take these dreams away
Why need a
Why need a new faith
When the old is still ok
Will you still
Will you still love this
As the interest in it fades away
As it fades away
As the interest in it fades away
It fades away
Wasting time
It's over and ended
Wasting time
We deserve
Hold that line
They ask us in safety
Hold that line when we talk
I can see the headlights and pavements
My legs can't carry me that far
And if this distance isn't enough
They'll cry another river to see you drown
(See you drown)
Faceless lies
It's easy to speak when
Every word is your own
Selfish eyes
Look onward in protest as we
Tear down their disguise
Their disguise
I can see the headlights
I can see the headlights and pavements
My legs can't carry me that far
And if this distance isn't enough
They'll cry another river to see you drown
(See you drown)
I can see the headlights and pavements
My legs can't carry me that far
And if this distance isn't enough
They'll cry another river to see you drown
(See you drown)
Your days were golden
Days were golden
While we bled
Your days were golden
Days were golden
While we bled
While we bled
Just to say we're sorry
For the black eyes and bleeding lips
When it's hard to forget
How many lies we've told
Or how old we'd grow
Before I said goodbye
So let's scrape our knees on the playground
It's not your fault
You feel okay
It's too late in the day
It's not your fault
You feel betrayed
You can't come out to play
I never listened to a word you never said
I never listened to a word you never said
Wasting the hours now
We're all suckers for tragedies
And start this over again
And you bring us to our knees
As sunrise comes
And the story we will sell
There'll be a hundred papers
So we'll follow you up
It's not your fault
You feel okay
It's too late in the day
It's not your fault
You feel betrayed
You can't come out to play
I never listened to a word you never said
I never listened to a word you never said
So raise your hands up high
And let this rain pour on
So raise your hands up high
And wash us away
Like innocence and childbirth
You look just like your mother
And you look just like your father
Forgive him our father
Your son is smiling
Is a lie just the truth?
Uncovered and relinquished
A passion for all young fools
Is a lie for their truth?
A question left unanswered
To feed the failure of our choices
When in my hands our blood recovered
Where for our faith we're undeserved
When in my hands our blood recovered
When in your faith completely
Do we wait all this time
And follow blindly hating?
Killing all that we survey
Must we hate all this time
Well let our anger lead us
Will lead us to our bitter end
When in my hands our blood recovered
Where for our faith we're undeserved
When in my hand our blood recovered
When in your faith completely
You're wasting our time
(Turn the light's out when you leave, turn the light's out when you leave)
You're wasting our time
(Turn the light's out when you leave, turn the light's out when you leave)
When everything's said and done
(Turn the light's out when you leave, turn the light's out when you leave)
We're dead and buried
(Turn the light's out when you leave, turn the light's out when you leave)
We're dead and buried
We're dead and buried
We're dead and buried
We're dead and buried
And will this never end?
I'm tired of all this walking
And if this never ends
I'll walk until my feet are bleeding
Until my feet are bleeding
Until my feet are bleeding
Until my feet are bleeding
Until my feet are bleeding
Broken hearts
swept to hands that tied me
it's a pointless game
what better, let's play
suicide
to kiss your kids goodnight
what you take from them
what they've taken from you
To be the last one who will sing you to sleep
to be the last one, who will sing you to...
Just like your broken records (you're broken)
will convert, for you tonight
Broken hearts

Just like your broken records (you're broken)

(we will never be the same)
same old songs on a brand new stereo
(we will never be the same)

(we will never be the same)
Same old songs!

Can't beat the best ones
A little closer maybe a bit too close
You function you turn out

Turn your camera away from me
Spill your guts in 8mm
Put your focus where your mouth is
You're the only one who's fading here
Such holidays in the sun don't come without sacrifices

On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
The promise that he made
Left broken on the floor
The bruise left around your heart
Left you begging for more
The promise that he made
Left broken on the floor
The bruise left around your heart
Left you begging for more
Left you begging for more
Thank you, for making me
Worthless, in your eyes
In hope and desperation
I'll find my only light
In your white wedding dress
In your white wedding dress
Thank you, for making this
The best day, of my life
In hope and desperation
I'll find my only light
In your white wedding dress
In your white wedding dress
And in the face of all we've seen
I am open to everything
In hope and desperation
my only light
And time will, take us all and
Drown us in its wake
And clearly I will stay and wipe the blood from
Your white wedding dress
and wipe the blood from
Your white wedding dress
The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Was born to grow and die
Oh it doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace

And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man

Love lies bleeding in my hands
I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through
You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
No matter where you go
They'll fucking tie you down
And bleed you from your wrists (bleed you from your wrists)
Well, it's better that we leave
Leave it this way (leave it this way)
And just to soften the blow
I'll steal all of your kisses (your kisses)
And sew them up
In the creases of our hearts.

I never really loved you anyway.
HEARTS [x2]
I never really loved you anyway.
HEARTS [x2]
I never really loved you anyway.
HEARTS [x2]
I never really loved you anyway.
And on the one thing you betted on
Don't ever let them take you down.
Oh, on the one thing you betted on
The red poison of your lips
The red poison of your eyes
Is where I kissed the blood from,
Just that corner of your mouth where I can see the white of your smile.
Up to my neck
When I'm breathing without you, without you
Up to my eyes
And I'm seeing without you, without you
We'll start a fire,
And burn some bridges
And make it out of here tonight
We'll start a fire,
And burn some bridges
And make it out of here tonight
We need some leverage
We can't seem to open up
The locks are far too tight
And the chains are far too strong, far too strong.
Up to my eyes
And I'm seeing without you, without you
Up to my heart
When I'm bleeding without you, without you.
We'll start a fire,
And burn some bridges
And make it out of here tonight
We'll start a fire,
And burn some bridges
And make it out of here tonight
Please someone help me
I'm dying here in front of you
Please someone help me
I'm dying here in front of you.
With a hundred thousands lights
Timing as everything will
With a hundred thousand lights
Timing, timing is everything to me
Please someone help me
I'm dying here in front of you
Please someone help me
I'm dying here in front of you.
It's everything
It's everything
Kick start your heart
Just like an engine, battered and over-used
Are we really ready?
I don't think it's any use
If you think it feels close to you, angel
There's nothing left to lose
Please, believe in what I have to say
The symptoms that you have are, so lost
Your wires are crossed
Are you leaving?
Discarded on the floor
We feel the pain, nestled and over-shores.
Well if you tell your truths to me, so sorry to let it go
If you think it feels close to you, angel
It's only one excuse
Please, believe in what I have to say
The symptoms that you have are, so lost
Your wires are crossed
Are you leaving?
Well just leave
We never analysed the way
You didn't like the look of his eyes, our lovers spy
You have to leave it, we're on our way
Please, believe in what I have to say
The symptoms that you have are, so lost
Your wires are crossed
Are you leaving?
Well just leave, we never analysed the way
You didn't like the look of his eyes, our lovers spy
Closing folding like a star
Bring you back to see the lights
Bluest water falling down on your skin
On your skin
Keep you eyes locked away
In some lonely place
Don't stop, don't stop
When the music's over
Crosses made to bare the weight
You never bothered to explain
Questions swim around your head
Keep you eyes locked away
In some lonely place
Don't stop don't stop
When the music's over now
Closing folding like a star
Brings you back to see the lights
Bluest water falling down
On your skin, on your skin
Keep your eyes locked away
In some lonely place
Don't stop don't stop
When the music's over
The waters colder at the edge
And they dived for hours
Past sundown
Until the body was wasted
Did they conspire to this?
Did you conspire to this?
Thirty three and a half
Until the end
As we sway from ear to ear
And your heels looks so beautiful
Against the carpet, against the carpet
So graceful, yet so insecure
This ghost will haunt you
Our lives are lived
By loving disaster, ending disastrous love
Forever obsessed by the essence of death
We celebrate it
So sing it loud, I'm not giving up on you or anyone I know
Reaching out for something but we don't know what we need
As time slowly passes by, grey hair appears behind your lines
Damned if you do, dead if you dont it's the age of youthfulness
To cause or curse
As if it spoke to claim them the light will guide us
And our shepherd will guide our way through this propaganda
So sing it loud, I'm not giving up on you or anyone I know
Reaching out for something but we don't know what we need
As time slowly passes by, grey hair appears behind your lines
Damned if you do, dead if you dont it's the age of youthfulness
I have a feeling, at the bottom of this glass
Everything will pass, at least not for us
So sing it loud
You never feed me, until it's too late,
You never see me coming.
It hurts my head when you tell me,
Everything is alright.
I tried to write something meaningful, and I feel I've lost my slide,
Can't think of anything really unflattering tonight.
You lie to me and I'm getting bored of this stupid conversation,
Stop fucking interrogation, scream my own behind.
Open your eyes and look outside,
It's gonna fuck you up and leave without the shell.
This is bettering, I'll bring you down,
Your best lost it for annihilation.
I tried to write something meaningful, and I feel I've lost my slide,
Can't think of anything really unflattering tonight.
You lie to me and I'm getting bored of these stupid conversations,
Stop fucking interrogation, just lead when I'm behind.
Keep on closing, closing your eyes.
Keep on closing, closing your eyes.
Keep on closing, closing your eyes.
Keep on closing, closing your eyes.
I tried to write something meaningful, and I feel I've lost my slide,
Can't think of anything really unflattering tonight.
You lie to me and I'm getting bored of these stupid conversations,
Stop fucking interrogation, just lead when I'm behind.
Write your words on a scrap of paper,
Tiny time you on my little finger
Can't think of anything to make it worth the fight.
For this only with the little numbers,
Every time I feel like hating summer,
Maybe I'm a pessimist
What if all the gray clouds in the sky
Would follow me home tonight?
Maybe I'm an atheist
What if there's no God waiting to meet me
At the end of the working week?
Maybe I'm just delicate
Maybe I am
Just not clever enough to persuade
Everyone of the reasons, we're failing each other
And it's not the same, not the same to me
No, it's not the same, not the same to me
Maybe I'm an optimist
What if all the damage that was done
Was never done to me?
Maybe I'm a liar
What if all the truths that I have told
Are better left, better left unsaid?
Maybe I'm just delicate
And maybe I am
Just not clever enough to persuade
Everyone of the reasons, we're failing each other
And it's not the same, not the same to me
Well no, it's not the same, not the same to me
What sticks to me
Sticks to you like glue
What sticks to me
Sticks to you like glue
Maybe I'm just delicate
And maybe I am
Just not clever enough to persuade
Everyone of the reasons, we're failing each other
And it's not the same, not the same to me
No, it's not the same, not the same to me
So I'll pack up my bags and leave
Question, nothing will come of it
Replace, Destroy the parts that never seem to fit
Cancer spreads through the nerve, through the tissue and we burn
Infecting visuals giving nothing in return
Resolutions, they never come
The words come out, like vipers tongues
Diseases spread through the world with no solutions and we burn
Infecting everyone they meet until we're singing the same damn song
I have blood on the brain
I see red like a snake
Clearing way for the armies of our demise
I have blood on the brain
I see red like a snake
Clearing way for the armies of our demise
Resolutions, they never come
The words come out, like vipers tongues
Diseases spread through the world with no solutions and we burn
Infecting everyone they meet until we're singing the same damn song
I have blood on the brain
I see red like a snake
Clearing way for the armies of our demise
I have blood on the brain
I see red like a snake
Clearing way for the armies of our demise
(Of our Demise)
If you want to believe in, believe in something
No holy cause will change your mind
I have blood on the brain
I see red like a snake
Clearing way for the armies of our demise
I have blood on the brain
I see red like a snake
There's a point to make
That sometimes goes unheard
Like the blood in your veins
You often forget
What we are is a species on the brink
Who'll be left to pick our bones clean
And the vultures swarm high above
Ready to feed of the last of us
Sacrificial lambs
Lead to the slaughter
We eat the shit
They feed us everyday
When there's one great idea amongst the rest
They try their best to put it back in its place
And the vultures swarm high above
Ready to feed of the last of us
So carve me up and hold me down
I'm not done speaking my mind
They said it wouldn't hurt one bit when they brought us to the brink
They said it wouldn't hurt one bit
Carbon copy aftertaste
The taste of lips so delicate
Stop the click and watch the room
Sitting pretty in full bloom
Your stain on my fingers
Like a headache that the pills won't kill
Your stain on my fingers
Like a headache that the pills won't kill
Hold your breath this is the part
That I've been waiting for
Words spill out in front of you
On your bedroom floor
Your stain on my fingers
Like a headache that the pills won't kill
Your stain on my fingers
Like a headache that the pills won't kill
I sat beneath the burning tree
I never gave my world away
Maybe I should, maybe I could
I sat beneath the burning tree
I never gave my world away
Maybe I should, maybe I could
I never gave my world away
Maybe I should, maybe I could
I never gave my world away
Maybe I should, maybe I would
I never gave my world away
Maybe I should, maybe I could
I sat beneath the burning tree
I never gave my world away
Maybe I should, maybe I could
I sat beneath the burning tree
We're sinking, sinking into the sea,
We're drinking, drinking our way to hell.
There's nothing we can do to save the skin on our backs again.
So I'll just sit back and just pretend that it's all better.
And I'm sinking deeper and deeper into the cracks.
Stop thinking, start making sense.
You're thinking, thinking what the fuck happened to me.
You're working, working yourself into a mess.
There's nothing you can do to save yourself from happiness.
So I'll just sit back and just pretend that it's all better.
And I'm sinking deeper and deeper into the cracks.
Stop thinking, start making sense to me.
I used to mean something to you,
But now I'm tired and alone.
I used to mean something to you,
Locked out and left you in the cold.
I used to mean something to you,
But now I'm tired and alone.
I used to mean something to you,
Never abandon broken cards, burning out.
Lusted people in the face, rain the fuck down.
We find our place in circuitry, we watch it burn out.
The TV screens we substitute our lives for another.
It's kill or be killed,
It's our nature.
To give up control,
It's our failure.
Like our lovers planting seeds,
It's anarchy, head down in shame.
Seasons come as seasons go and
We grow old, never learn from our mistakes.
You're on the ground, rain the fuck down.
Trusting people all in vain, corroding in the rain.
A well-made dream, flog it down, destroyed it for you.
Your time well spent, a living lie that covers everything.
It's kill or be killed,
It's our nature.
To give up control,
It's our failure.
Like our lovers planting seeds,
It's anarchy, head down in shame.
Seasons come as seasons go and
We grow old, never learn from our mistakes.
Never...
Cross the river, down we go, hold me under.
Hold your breath, and play the part, race towards the finish line.
Cross the river, down we go, hold me under.
Hold your breath, and play the part, race towards the finish line.
Race towards the finish line,
What's mine is yours and yours is mine.
Race towards the finish line,
What's mine is yours and yours is mine.
Race towards the finish line,
What's mine is yours and yours is mine.
Race towards the finish line.
And hope is something you have lost,
The past is holding on and on.
And hope is something you have lost,
Who shot the bullet
That killed the air tonight
Without a thought, without a reason
Take a gun called hate
Up against your heart
And pull the trigger
Take a gun called hate
Up against your heart
And pull the trigger
It's over, it's only over
It's only over when we say
The smoke and the mirrors
The lies that wind your tongue
Is this oppression what we wanted or what we needed?
As we function on impatience
And our patience is wearing thin
And live a lie that will destroy us all
It's over, it's only over
It's only over when we say
It's over, it's only over
It's only over when we say
Back and to the left
Back and to the left
Back and to the left come on
And shoot motherfucker
You like this baby?
You like this baby?
You like this baby?
Just dance a little longer
It's over, it's only over
It's only over when we say
It's over, it's only over
I'm on fire
Close to the water
And I'll be saved again
Staring at the ocean, over and over
Will I ever see them again?
Why believe SOS?
Find a way to bring me home
I'm wanna be alone again, again
Find a ship to take me home
I don't wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again
I'm on a wire, over the border
And I'll be saved again
Living on an island, over and over
I don't think I see them again
Why believe SOS?
Find a way to bring me home
I don't wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again
As the daylight fades (daylight fades)
I am a broken man, all alone
As daylight fades (daylight fades)
And I'm just a broken man
All alone, with no home
Find a ship to take me home
I don't wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again
Find a ship to take me home
I don't wanna be alone again
Horizon shows the signs,
the eye is getting closer,
birds don't fear the sky,
the clouds are looming over,
the vessel breaks the back it takes,
another wave that we must face.
Raise the sail,
as we all,
feel powerless.
Raise the sail,
as we all,
feel powerless.
Bloody hands reach out,
violence breaks my body,
drowning in the sea,
lifeboats lost without them,
the vessel breaks the it takes,
another wave that we must face.
Raise the sail,
as we all,
feel powerless.
Raise the sail,
as we all,
feel powerless.
Drowning in the wake,
as we all feel powerless.
Under crests of stars, water breaks a broken heart.
Under crests of stars, water breaks a broken heart.
Spitting from the bridges, like a bird perched on a branch,
I'm wilting like a tree that will never let me breathe.
Soul soldier with your gun held high, where does the crow fly,
soul soldier with your gun held high, will you follow it home.
For the road that we walk has more miles left to talk,
stories on and on we go, into the great wide open.
No it never came back to break me, the way it broke it down,
spitting from the bridges, while the trees give a sigh to the ground.
Soul soldier with your flag held high, where does the crow fly,
soul soldier with your flag held high, will you follow it home.
For the road that we walk has more miles left to talk,
stories on and on we go, into the great wide open.
For the road that we walk has more miles left to talk,
stories on and on we go, into the great wide open, into the great wide open.
The rush of the flood, sends the blood, to my head,
the rush of the flood, sends the blood, to my head,
Soul soldier with your gun held high, where does the crow fly
soul soldier with your gun held high, will you follow it home.
The rush of the flood, sends the blood, to my head,
the rush of the flood, sends the blood, to my head.
Climb out, climb out (woah), climb out, climb out (woah),
Climb out, climb out (woah), over me.
Climb out, climb out (woah), climb out, climb out (woah),
Climb out, climb out (woah), over me.
I'd like to say something
slow down the bandwagon
there's a million reasons
I don't want to be here
but you don't know me well enough
to be the last on my list
what did I miss?
you win the most points
I hope you're getting this
because I don't know when I've been this good
you don't know what it's like
to be a slave and not get paid
why don't you save it
don't even try to erase it
because that's the way it is
and I hope it makes you sick
that I'm not even warmed up yet
make your last word hurt
before you let me go
next time I see you
don't be in the front row
slow down the bandwagon
I'd like to say something
and I hope it makes you sick
I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long...
'cause tonight... we can be as one
Tonight...
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
How long...
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long...
'cause tonight... we can be as one
Tonight... tonight...
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...
Sunday Bloody Sunday
And it came from nothing
But there was always something
And when the sky burned brighter
And the nights grew darker
Hold on to everyone
That I hold dearest
To my heart
And I wont forget them
I wont forget them
Fading, always fading
Never needed more
Waiting, always waiting
Scraped across the wooden floor
And the passing time
Reaches Out
And Covers Me
With Images
Of everyone that i have known
Are ever hard to see
And I wont forget them
And I wont forget them
Fading, always fading
Never needed more
Waiting, always waiting
Scraped across the wooden floor
When the day is done
Another setting sun is down
When the day is done
Another setting sun
Waiting, always waiting
Scraped across the wooden floor
Scraped across the wooden floor
When will you be coming home?
Scraped across the wooden floor
When will you be coming home?
Scraped across the wooden floor
When will you be coming home?
Shove the momentum drags us under
Your constant disregard your constant aggravation
Tell me nothing but home truths and you show me starvation
On a black and white screen, this is your movie queen
Stop and think a second
Tune in tune out
It's something more than nothing
Drop in drop out
I see the way you lie to them
Tune in tune out
All for the country you say
Fuck them fuck us
Progress is the alternative to which we align
Hopeless intuition, raped between the lines
You tune in you tune out
Climbing a ladder fucked before we get out
You tune in you tune out 'cause we're fucked before
Stop and think a second
Tune in tune out
It's something more than nothing
Drop in drop out
I see the way you lie to them
Tune in tune out
All for the country you say
Fuck them fuck us
This system this lie
This system this lie
This system this lie
This system this lie
Stop and think a second
Tune in tune out
It's something more than nothing
Drop in drop out
I see the way you lie to them
Tune in tune out
All for the country you say
All the words that we have to say
They don't leave when the moment comes
We know we have to wait
As the days go on and the places fade away
to dirt and to dust, it all fades away
And the waiting is the hardest thing to take
In an moment more before we break
If you have to let it go
And these dreams keep you awake
If you have to let it go
Walk away
In the shapes we want to see
Don't leave another piece that this puzzle needs
And the waiting is the hardest thing to take
In an moment more before we break
If you have to let it go
And these dreams keep you awake
If you have to let it go
Walk away
And the waiting is the hardest thing to take
In an moment more before we break
If you have to let it go
And these dreams keep you awake
If you have to let it go
Walk away
If you have to let it go
And these dreams keep you awake
If you have to let it go
Walk away (walk away)
If you have to let it go
And these dreams keep you awake
If you have to let it go
And the scars he will leave
And the pain he inflicts
Will burn out over time
Make us stand out of line
And the ash will break upon the shore
Just like you, you will break upon the shoreline
Upon the shoreline
If the timeing is right
We'll make sure to be seen
And the weight we wil bare
In the home we are safe
Are we safe?
For a taste, just a simple kiss
The way you bend before the break and
The way my throat would feel
I'm scared of failure
It's our plan, strike a match
And lets burn down this place
It's our plan, strike a match
and lets burn down this place
It's our plan, strike a match
and lets burn down this place
burn down this place
For a taste, just a simple kiss
The way you bend before the break and
The way my throat would feel
I'm scared of failure
For a taste, just a simple kiss
The way you bend before the break and
The way my throat would feel
I'm scared of
Make up the dance
They fall bleeding
And if for me
You'll exist forever
Make up the dance
They fall bleeding
And if for me
You'll exist forever
You'll exist forever
You'll exist forever
Exist forever
Forever
There are miles left to walk
And this desert never lies
A broken bottle's on the floor
Cigarette kisses on the walls
Did you forget to call?
To find your way back home
I pull another drink
You find yourself alone
And with the truth I feel inside
Could you believe me?
That I could wait here all my life
For you to find me
Faces pass me by
And these pictures never lie to me
A broken bottle's on the floor
And all this writing on the wall
Did you forget to call?
To find your way back home
I pull another drink
You find yourself alone
And with the truth I feel inside
Could you believe me?
That I could wait here all my life
For you to find me
Pass me by, never lie
Pass me by, never lie
(Lie (x5))
You never lie
(Lie)
You never lie
(Lie)
You never lie
(Lie)
The days I've felt alone
And the sea, it brings me back again
So that I can see my wife
And I can see my child
Home, I'm home, it never changes
Same old faces, same old places
I stared into oblivion
And found my home
I stared into oblivion
Into oblivion
I'm finding me the home
That you have never known
We'll find in us the faith
The faith to bring you home
I stared into oblivion
And found my home
I stared into oblivion
And found my home
I stared into oblivion
And found my own way back to there (way back to there)
Home, now that I'm coming home
Will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed
Home, now that I'm coming home
Will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed
Home, now that I'm coming home
Will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed
I stared into oblivion
(And found my home)
I stared into oblivion
(And found my home)
I stared into oblivion
(And found my home)
I stared into oblivion
Why do we need this?
Who was it that said 'The great things come to great men'
Well, that fucker lied to us
Well, there's nothing here but a wasteland
But I can still see the graves of the dead
But it's useless
Most of us would rather sit
Than see this wound that we have created
Well, let's not last the night
Well, let's not last the night
I'm sick and I'm tired
Of always being the good guy
I'm sick and I'm tired
Of always being the good guy
Well, senseless, I'm not sure why
I'm not going to pretend that I know all the answers
Or all of the questions
It's got to be good for something
So we'll chalk this out
And we'll mount the dead on the fireplace
Above right above our guilded heads
On our guilded heads
I'm sick and I'm tired
Of always being the good guy
I'm sick and I'm tired
Of always being the good guy
Like sitting in the back seat, it's all the rage
And boring me with your body, it's all the rage
How many times can I say I'm sorry, it's all the rage
You really mean it, you really mean it
You really mean it, you really mean it
Like sitting in the back seat, it's all the rage
And boring me with your body, it's all the rage
And how many times can I say I'm sorry, it's all the rage
You really mean it, you really mean it, you really mean it
You really mean it, you really mean it
Why do we need this?
Who was it that said 'The great things come to great men'
Well, that fucker lied to us
Well, there's nothing here but a wasteland
Launch the ships
The walls are closing in
Close our eyes
In the deepest darkness
Sail away, sail away to find them
Half a life, half a life among light
Sail away, sail away to find them
Half a life, half a life amongst them
Out Of Reach
Too far gone to be saved
Hear the sound
The call is to believe
Husbands and sons
Are lost to their sea
Sail away, sail away to find them
Half a life, half a life amongst them
Out Of Reach
Too far gone to be saved
Out Of Reach
Taken by the waves
By the waves
The light thats shines
Will dull our eyes
The light that shines
Will dull the life
Out of reach
Too far gone to be saved
Out of reach
Taken by the waves
Out of reach
Out of reach
Out of reach
Is a lie just the truth
uncovered and relinquished
a passion for all young fools
Is a lie more than truth
a question left unanswered
to feed the failure of our choices
When in my hand our blood recovered
When for our faith we're undeserved
When in my hand our blood recovered
When in your faith completely
Do we wait all this time
and follow blindly hating,
killing all that we survey
Must we hate all this time
and let our anger lead us,
lead us to our bitter end
When in my hand our blood recovered
When for our faith we're undeserved
When in my hand our blood recovered
When in your faith completely
You're wasting our time
(turn the lights out when you leave)x 6
When everything's said and done
We're dead or buried
And will this never end,
I'm tired of all this walking
And if this never ends,
I'll walk until my feet are bleeding
Until my feet are bleeding
Awake, I am awake
And I'm still alive out here
Awake, I am awake
And I'm still alive out here
Blinded, by this light
It is all that surrounds me
Deep water, I can smell the blood
How long, how long before they come?
Showing teeth and bearing fever
Lost in open water
Until they find, I find us all
Lost with all the shipwreck
Deep water, I can smell the blood
How long, how long before they come?
Waves crashed upon the shore
And time and time again, we lost control
And time and time again, we lost control
And I'm too far gone to be saved
(Lost in the water all alone)
Am I too far gone to be saved?
(Lost in the water all alone)
Am I too far gone, too far gone to be saved?
Waves crashed upon the shore
And time and time again we lost control
Waves crashed upon the shore
And time and time again we lost control
I lost control
Awake, I am awake
FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND LYRICS
"10 Scene Points To The Winner"
Ink stained fingers promise everything and nothing
And therein lies the story
Its no easy sentiment, a conscious effort
To save the last...
I love you just the way you are
So don't give up just yet
We all know its hard, when its so hard
Forgive me, Forgive me
Ink stained fingers promise everything and nothing
And therein lies the story
Its no easy sentiment, a conscious effort
To save the last...
I love you just the way you are
So don't give up just yet
We all know its hard, when its so hard
Its easy to be, the quitter
So give up
I'll never understand
Why I have been saved
The sea sings its master plan
Over the waves
Sun rise upon the line
buckling drift
the path that I walked along
is lost in the drift
So far away from my home, will the stars return?
The wave of oppressive lights
this colourless storm
at peace with the thirst inside
away from the swarm
moments of peace will come
the wind at my heals
my body's lifeless age
is lost to its feel
so far away from my home, will the stars return?
Home is where I needed you, salvation in dreams
Heaven above me
Water below me
How can I survive this?
Swallow the sea
blood draining me too far
and I cannot stand it
and I cannot stand it
Anymore, and I cannot stand it
Anymore
Anymore, and I cannot stand it
Anymore
Anymore, and I cannot stand it
Anymore
Collusus returning
Mountain is singing
fish are fresh from the killing
Breath hitting me
return to the sea to sleep
he tries to command it (elanor)
He tries to command it (elanor)
Dearest hope has gone away
swaying out so far from me
golden to hair palm my sway
sweetest wave bring me home
Bring me home!
bring me home
bring me home
Steal this night away
So that we're not waiting
The feeling in my gut
Makes my head ache
And the feeling that i get
Walking downstairs
The feelings of surprise
Before my eyes
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
On this christmas day
On this christmas day
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's on this christmas day
And the gifts that we all gave
In remembrance
Of this final day
To ease this miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
On this christmas day
On this christmas day
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
On this christmas day
On this christmas day
The snow is falling down
Around us now
The snow is falling down
Around around
The snow is falling down
The snow is falling down
The snow is falling down
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's on this christmas day
And It's on this christmas day
It's a miracle, yeah
It's a miracle
It's on this christmas day
oh on this christmas day
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
On this christmas day
Oh on this christmas day
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
As you swallow this confession
And leave me with this scar
As it takes another second
To let me go too far
It doesn't seem to matter, any more
The road less traveled
Is taking me home
I could write another letter
And never write one word
As it takes another second
To let me go too far
It doesn't seem to matter, any more
The road less traveled
Is taking me home
And if you want me to hold you
I won't
The Road less traveled
Is taking you home
As you swallow your confession
And leave this as it is
As it takes another second
For I wished I was dead
The letters you wrote me
The letters you wrote me
The letters you wrote me
I wished I was dead
I wished I was dead
This letter's gone too far
Well if it takes another look
Will you stay and watch us?
And when they ask to cover up
Another perfect accident
The mud gets on their boots
When the trouble will be made
If you try and better
What went on.
Kill you,
I'll remember your eyes.
Kill you,
I'll remember your smile.
Kill you dead,
I'll remember your eyes.
Kill you,
Another wasted in bars.
Try to waste your life again
With childish memories
Infected with with desire
To turn you on
Well still its those stars
Behind your eyes.
I'll remember your eyes,
Kill you.
I'll remember your smile,
Kill you dead.
I'll remember your eyes,
Kill you.
I'll remember your smile,
Kill you dead. (3X)
You're wasting our time
Turn the lights out when you leave.
You're wasting our time
Turn the lights out when you leave.
When everything's said and done
Turn the lights out when you leave
We're dead and buried
Turn the lights out when you leave.
We're dead and buried. (4X)
Kill you,
I'll remember your eyes.
Kill you,
I'll remember your smile.
Kill you dead,
I'll remember your eyes.
Kill you.
Kill you. (3X)
We kick the bucket and they drink us dry
Non essential work down on supply
We till the soil and work the fields
Another twenty years
My fingers bleed
You've gotta believe it
It's gotta be seen to believed
A crisis of faith and and an honest mistake
It can break your resolve
This tattered life torn and despised
It can swallow you whole
At the mercy of this machine
Our price to pay
Our burden to bear
Taking liberties with an innocent lie
Just another cog in this infernal machine
Another fifty years for someone to see
You've gotta believe it
It's gotta be seen to believed
A crisis of faith and and an honest mistake
It can break your resolve
This tattered life torn and despised
It can swallow you whole
At the mercy of their machine
We're at the mercy of their machines
Shake hands (shake hands)
With the captains of industry
[x4]
Shake hands with the captains of industry
Broken hands, so sans soleil
It lights my way through these
empty streets at night.
Dragging heels, the cold air stabs me
like a needle running with this thread
Scissors cut me dead and gone
living like the blade I carry
I never thought of you
living all alone,
scissors cut me dead I never felt
like anyone could ever be
so far from home
The day begins
when the music ends its days
like these that I
wish I were somewhere else.
And I can't forget my own name
replace it with a voice
We are forever on the outside
looking in and these are
observations and gravity is the only weight
Thoughts that don't carry enough
speed to escape it like specks of
dust we're dispersed by our elements
We have gathered drawing in
from our borders and still we have
nothing left to resent in each other
We are determines to destroy the
beauty in everything and everyone
Days in motion
From the west coasts to the ocean
Mainline to the sunset
As we're sitting in the van
We're heading out to mainland
Age is nothing but a number
The difference in experience that we relate
Well the distance from where the heart lies
Between the words and sometimes,
It's a meaning to interpret and relate
And a moment in explosions, like looking out the window
As we're passing by the places out of state
A conversation
Ending in frustration
I never saw the faces
Before it was too late
Indecision
Is better than compliance
Questioning the motives
Before it turns to hate
Well the distance from where the heart lies
Between the words and sometimes,
It's a meaning to interpret and relate
And a moment in explosions, like looking out the window
As we're passing by the places out of state
A seconds chance to get things right
Transition between the dark and the light
Coming home to the same things
Leaves me wanting more
Well the distance from where the heart lies
Between the words and sometimes,
It's a meaning to interpret and relate
And a moment in explosions, like looking out the window
We look past the obvious
We blind ourselves to the truth
No escape, resistance is futile
The old roads lead back home
A place where I belong
I lay my head where I lay my head
(Affection, redemption)
A clenched fist screaming
There's pain and then there's living
Both makes sense to those who're willing
And there's nothing left to say
We carry on, we carry
(Sacrifice, every single day)
To make amends for the debt we pay
(This way)
An instrument of constant struggle
There's nothing left to regret
(A promise is a promise kept)
Whether history will forget
(To open up with friendly arms)
This wrench screaming
There's pain and then there's living
Both makes sense to those who're willing
And there's nothing left to say
We carry on, we carry on
We carry on, we carry
We struggle every single day
Never giving up or giving in
No single sense of self-respect
We turn around and walk away
No sense of community
We fear each and everyday
Behind closed doors and closed minds
We shelter away from our lives
There's pain and then there's living
Both makes sense to those who're willing
And there's nothing left to say
We carry on, we carry on
Fortune favours the brave
In the front row tears streaming
down our faces, things we've
never seen before. Yeah we're
all strangers but we're all in this together.
And I remember when it used to
be so innocent, and I remember
when it used to be so casual and I remember...
I'm feeling closer to the road that
leads me away from everything
I care about and we share in this misery.
We're all strangers but
we're all in this together.
And I remember when it used to
be so innocent and I remember
when it used to be so casual and I remember what the end might bring.
A loss of feeling
Ending in contempt
I feel like I am letting go of everything
Friendships ending
Always in betrayal
You never gave us the benefit of the doubt
I saw you change throughout the years
I saw things begin to fall apart
Fuck your power games
Nothing gold can stay like this
forever it's faded grey
Rusted like the dreams you hold so close
Was it ever even true or was it all
just a lie, you're a
I'm fucking sick, so sick and tired
Of coming back to these broken places
It leaves a hole in me that can never be filled
Walking these streets alone I'm
tired and I'm jaded some, no this
will never be the same old
I'm staying true to the plans in my head
I'm staying true to the plan
Walking these streets alone I'm
tired and I'm jaded some, no this
will never be the same old.
And all the places and all the people
do you regret it would you even know?
Waking up each day trying to face a
cruel world, violence the power of one over another.
This is not how we are meant to live, and this is
not how we are meant to live well
I refuse to be apart of this disease
Behind closed doors we are building up our castles
And we wait to be saved behind these sheltered walls
Tell me who will be left to save us
When we can't even save ourselves
Eyes of the innocent
The death of human spirit
A science of tragedies that we've let into our homes
And I will never close my eyes to what I see every day
And even if it kills me
I will never end up like them
Tell me who will be left to save us
When we can't even save ourselves
[x2]
A shell of a man
Bled of every sentiment
And all honesty and compassion
Destroyed in just one breath
[x2]
I will never close my eyes to what I see every day
And even if it kills me
I will never end up like them
Tell me who will be left to save us
When we can't even save ourselves
Water broken voice, saturates a microphone
into a reciever with no tongue
offering, little to what it knows
Then a silence so heavy, broken hearts fall from throats
when heaven is remembered but never seen
through hearts shaped like kaleidoscopes
Eternaly, the sun has set to mourning
and contoured are the backgrounds
Killing you
May be the only chance i have
Of recovery
And i no it's so severe
As you knew it would be
The punishment, it fits the crime
So let's take this knife (Take this knife)
And run it down your chest
Does this feel like love? (Feel like love)
Here we are waiting
So let's take this knife
And run it down your chest
Does this feel like love?
Here we are waiting
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you'll have to wear this week
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you'll have to wear this week
Killing me
Might be the only chance you have of recovery
And I know its so severe as you knew it would be
The punishment, well it fits your crime
So let's take this knife
And run it down your chest
Does it feel like love?
Here we are waiting

Another medal that you'll have to wear this week
You and I, we'll die alone tonight
You and I, we'll lie alone tonight
You and I, we'll die alone tonight
You and I, we'll die alone
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you'll have to wear this week
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Congratulations, it's a boy
Buried underneath the afterbirth of joy
Sticks and stones will always break
His bones can barely take the weight
Of your breath breathing down his neck again
Keep it to yourself
You don't need to ask
Everything was golden
Memories will last
Your family, your little girl
One little wonder with your back against the wall
Kisses at bedtime never meant
A life that came to represent
Failings that she could not forget again
Keep it to yourself
You don't need to ask
Everything was golden
Memories will last
She could not forget
Breathing down his neck
But she could not forget
The price you pay is never worth
The pain to suffer the abuse
Lay down and sleep with all the ghosts
Again, again, again, again
Lay down and sleep with all the ghosts
Again, again, again, again
Lay down and sleep with all the ghosts
Couldn't have done any better
Couldn't have prayed for sin to be over
Praying to nothing, praying to know,
but you will never know.
I won't say it, I won't say it
I won't say what I don't know
I never had any problem,
to recognize it or a marble,
You're a beautiful liar,
You're never inspired,
You know when it's over it's over.
I won't say it, I won't say it
I won't say what I don't know
I won't say it, I say nothing
I know nothing, I do nothing
Nothing
I'm full of a sinking feeling
like having the weight of these
thought in my legs, while trying
to outrun my conscience as it
shadows my every step.
And my thoughts will always be
slower, slower than my tongue in
teaching me regret for what I've done.
And I'm sorry;
I reserve these feelings for myself and if I could
only wash my hands clean.
You know I'm sorry but I can't keep
this to myself and I wish I could
only keep my head clear
I'm full of sinking feeling
like having the weight of these thoughts.
I see the idea like the dirt under
my nails only really in my head;
Cold hard lines, across my face
Into a mirror I don't recognize myself anymore.
The deepest blacks, the empty greys
There is no going back, there is no in-between.
How many friends can I loose before it all makes sense?
How many friends can I loose?
Who knows what to say?
When I'm speaking out to a quiet crowd
And at the back of the hall the eyes are silent
[x2]
Words mean nothing but empty providence,
All for a God that doesn't seem to care
Who lives and who dies, these are no choices.
Each like a body broken struck from the face of a man.
How many friends can I loose before it all makes sense?
How many friends can I loose?
Who knows what to say?
When I'm speaking out to a quiet crowd
And at the back of the hall the eyes are silent
[x2]
How many friends can I loose before it all makes sense?
How many friends can I loose before it all makes sense?
How many friends can I loose before it all makes sense?
How many friends can I loose?
Who knows what to say?
When I'm speaking out to a quiet crowd
And at the back of the hall the eyes are silent
[x2]
How many friends can I loose before it all makes sense?
Are you close enough to hit?
Are you close enough to kiss?
Are you brave enough to fail?
Are you strong enough to kill for what you love?
We are a home; we are the heart
that beats the backbone
and the spine
We are alone, we are the heart
that beats
Standing eye to eye
Are you rotten to the core?
Are you dead on the inside?
Are your failures not enough?
Are you strong enough to kill for what you love?
Love is love it's not enough to kill
I speak in metaphor it's the only
thing that makes sense to me a
description of a time that I'll never
feel again and hopeless romantics
they wont save me from pissing on
the friendships that have made me
In memory the brightest lights are
fading I'm on my knees waiting for the changes
Words are weapons, in this modern
warfare on a piece of paper or on a billboard.
It breaks the back it rapes the truth for another fucking
lie, the words are weapons in these crucial times.
I'm just trying to figure out if this
will kill me or make me stronger (every day).
Words are weapons they are our shields
Can't pretend that you're nothing special
You've got to look at all of your options
You can't decide what to go for
When it's all about trust
It's all about trust
You see yourself on the TV
You read your magazines
You can't explain how it's come to be this
Stop and think...
When it's all about trust
It's all about trust
This coverage, your centre spread
Your neon light daydream will shatter and break
And if you think I'm thinking of your value here
You're the one
You're the one who's losing control
This eventual stop, this
Break in the mould
I scream down this hotline
Just to feel something
[x2]
This situation isn't getting any better
I see that look in your eyes (the look in your eyes)
You want to see a pretty face?
There isn't anything wrong with giving up
And for what it's worth
I still hate you
This eventual stop, this
Break in the mould
I scream down this hotline
Just to feel something
[x2]
Just to feel something [x4]
Something
Just to feel something
[x4]
This situation isn't getting any better
I see that look (I see that look in your eyes)
[x3]
As the sun sets on battlefields
I hope you can save me
I hope you can save our wounded hearts
And distance (creation)
makes my heart (eternity)
grow colder (enough for this to end)
And distance (creation)
makes my heart (eternity)
seem older (for you)
Just enough to cut the air from your lungs
from your lungs
As the sun sets (we push and pull apart)
On battlefields (enough for this to end)
I hope you can save me (from ourselves)
I hope you can save us from ourselves
Denial (forever)
in the arms of (we're stuck in here)
our saviours (enough for this to end)
And my heart (falls open)
is torn (wide open)
to pieces (for you)
Just enough to cut the air from your lungs
from your lungs
As the sun sets (we push and pull apart)
On battlefields (enough for this to end)
I hope you can save me (from ourselves)
I hope you can save us from ourselves
And paper cuts and bloody hands
In the middle they would meet
And paper cuts and bloody hands
In the middle they would meet
As the sun sets
As the sun sets
Scared to open up these eyes
To see just what's inside
This tree is dead and cold
This house is not a home
Help me now I'm dying here alone
This is not a new game
So don't think that you know
Casually I confide
Awake and paralysed
Forever in one word
Forever is the longest time
It's the only cure I'm not sure I'll survive
This is not a new game
So don't think that you know
Can you see these blood shot eyes
Can you see
That my strength is failing
And I can't go on this way
And this hearts not beating
It just doesn't seem the same
And my strength is failing
And I can't go on this way (cant go on this way)
Promise me
Promise me
Promise me you will not ever leave
Promise me (you will not ever leave)
Promise me (you will not ever leave)
Promise me (you will not ever leave) (okay...)
That my strength is failing
And I can't go on this way
And this hearts not beating
It just doesn't seem the same
It just doesn't seem the same
Wasted journey's
Time spent better knowing nothing
And looks they don't help
Prying eyes wander west
To where oceans meet gold
And you wonder why my heart
It breaks in two
Hours pass into minutes
Kissing the seconds away
And day may seem to melt just like your
Just like your classic summers
It's come to the point
Where everything looses perspective
We're down the road
We're down the [Incomprehensible]
Prying eyes wander west
To where oceans meet gold
And you wonder why my heart
It breaks for you
Hours pass into minutes
Kissing the seconds away
And days may seem to melt just like your
Just like your classic summers
[Incomprehensible]
Stupid things are said
Stupid things are done
And when the time comes
I'll shout from high mountain tops
When stupid things are said
When stupid things are done
And when the time comes
You are bleak
You are beautiful
No matter what they say
In this light
Tired childish games
Swept us all away
Singing it out,
Singing it out for all of us
Singing it out,
Singing it out for all of us
This is strange
This is wonderful
It's grip chokes us all
It takes time
More than we have
So what have we done?
Singing it out,
Singing it out for all of us
Singing it out,
Singing it out for all of us
It takes time
Please tell me what we've done
It takes time
Please tell me what have we done
Singing it out,
Singing it out for all of us
Singing it out,
And I wish it was sweeter, the taste of your mouth
Because right now it hurts too much to be
Closer than this and with one hard look
I can tell that you've had enough of these useless sunsets
This could be a movie, this could be our final act
We don't need these happy endings
This could be a movie, this could be our final act
We don't need these happy endings
So tell your father that
That you're mine and I'll swear we'll run away
And I'll make a plan and save everyone from themselves
And put them in the ground
This could be a movie, this could be our final act
We don't need these happy endings
This could be a movie, this could be our final act
We don't need these happy endings
Sitting in the car with the radio
Turned to static, feeling quite tragic
And with one strategic blow
And you find yourself back in the hole
That you used to sit so comfortably in
Sitting in the car with the radio
Turned to static, feeling quite tragic
And with one strategic blow
And you find yourself back in the hole
That you used to sit so comfortably in
This could be a movie, this could be our final act
We don't need these happy endings
This could be a movie, this could be our final act
We don't need these happy endings
Sitting in the car with the radio
Turned to static, feeling quite tragic
And with one strategic blow
And you find yourself back in the hole
That you used to sit so comfortably in
Sitting in the car with the radio
Turned to static, feeling quite tragic
And with one strategic blow
And you find yourself back in the hole
Dealing out the agony within
charging hard and no one's gonna give in
Living on your knees, conformity
or dying on your feet for honesty
Inbred, our bodies work as one
bloody, but never cry submission
Following our instinct not a trend
go against the grain until the end
Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
Damage Incorporated
Slamming through, don't fuck with razorback
stepping out? You'll feel our hell on your back
Blood follows blood and we make sure
life ain't for you and we're the cure
Honesty is my only excuse
Try to rob us of it, but it's no use
Steamroller action crushing all
Victim is your name and you shall fall
Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
Damage Incorporated
We chew and spit you out
we laugh, you scream and shout
All flee, with fear you run
You'll know just where we come from
Damage Incorporated
Damage jackals ripping right through you
sight and smell of this, it gets me goin'
Know just how to get just what we want
tear it from your soul in nightly hunt
Fuck it all and fucking no regrets
Never happy ending on these dark sets
All's fair for Damage Inc. you see
step a little closer if you please
Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
I watch the snow fall on the streets,
Dead hearts are waking up, up to see.
The black eyes cross the grass,
Asleep on the bridge.
A man along the edge,
Drops away his pain.
Screaming out for another feeling,
Paper houses, cutting corners.
Screaming out for another feeling,
All these houses, no-one wants them.
The photographs your father made back in 82,
All the while we stand here watching, pitying the fools.
Screaming out for another feeling,
Paper houses, cutting corners.
Screaming out for another feeling,
All these houses, no-one wants them.
Paper houses, cutting corners.
All these houses, no-one wants them.
Glorified spectators,
Glorified.
Screaming out for another feeling,
Paper houses, cutting corners.
Screaming out for another feeling,
All these houses, no-one wants them now.
All these houses, no-one wants them now.
They stand to fight for nothing.
we show them how stupid we've become.
as fortune favours only,
those who care to much to see.
Oh it will never be okay,
as some will say.
we stand to fight for nothing,
so close your eyes and stay away.
don't believe their headlines
they poison our lives, everyday
Oh it will never be the same,
the purpose bearing everyday.
the lies that lead you into the grave.
as some will say.
And you will never be okay,
as some will say.
purpose bearing everyday,
as some will say.
lies that lead you to the grave,
as some will say.
Your revolution is a joke,
Dear friends in this academy
Romeo is bleeding to death
To see friends bleed to death
What for? Some kind of metaphor
That I cant see?
So I'll drink until I see it
This sky will make me sick
So I'll give up on you
I'll give up on this
This sky will make me sick
So I'll give up on this
I'll give up on you
Archers in your arches
Raise your fingers for one last salute
And i'll bleed this skyline dry
Your history is mine
So you want to hold me up and bring me down
Yes, you want to hold me up and break me down
I don't care for your sweet scent or
The way you want me more than I want you
I don't care for your sweet scent or
The way you want me more than I want you
Archers in your arches
Raise your fingers for one last salute
And bleed this skyline dry
Your history is mine
Archers in your arches
Raise your fingers for one last salute
And bleed this skyline dry
Your history is mine...
No matter where you go
They'll fucking tie you down
And bleed you from your wrists (bleed you from your wrists)
Well, it's better that we leave
Leave it this way (leave it this way)
And just to soften the blow
I'll steal all of your kisses (your kisses)
And sew them up
In the creases of our hearts.

I never really loved you anyway.

And on the one thing you betted on
