A swather, or windrower, is a farm implement that cuts hay or small grain crops and forms them into a windrow. "Swather" is predominantly the North American term for these machines. In Australia and other parts of the world, they are called "windrowers".
A swather may be self propelled via an internal combustion engine, or may be drawn by a tractor and powered through a power take-off shaft. A swather uses a sickle bar (see mower) to cut the stems of the crop. A reel helps the cut crop fall neatly onto a canvas or auger conveyor which moves it and deposits it into a windrow, with all stems oriented in the same direction. As combines replaced threshing machines, the swather was needed to replace the binder.
Swathing (windrowing) is more common in the northern United States and Canada. This is because the curing time for grain crops is reduced by cutting the plant stems. In regions with longer growing seasons, grain crops are usually left standing and harvested directly by combines.
The Swather is the mascot of sports teams at Hesston High School in Hesston, Kansas.
Hold me now I need to feel relief
Like I never wanted anything
I suppose I'll let this go and find a reason I'll hold on to
I'm so ashamed of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to get by
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all
I can't face myself when I wake up
And look inside a mirror
I'm so ashamed of that thing
I suppose I'll let it go
Untill I have something more to say for me
I'm so afraid of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to defy
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all
Hold me now I need to feel complete
Like I matter to the one I need
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all
Now I'm ashamed of this
I am so ashamed of this
Now I'm so ashamed of this
I am so ashamed of me...
Before you hedge those bets you placed against me
Be reticent of fortunes they foretell
Your verbal defecation i can't wash away despite myself
Your vanity, it seems, has served you well
You're so quick to choose the path walked by the righteous
So you can go and nest among the weak
The innocent observers will refuse to find the lie within
Renew the disappointment of the meek
You're no Jesus Christ!
You're no Jesus Christ!
Put the gun in my mouth and pull the trigger
I feel so alive here
Put the gun in my mouth that tastes so bitter
I feel so alive here
You're no Jesus Christ!
You're no Jesus Christ!
You keep takin' over
I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
Before you hedge those bets you placed against me
Be reticent of fortunes they foretell
Your verbal defecation i can't wash away despite myself
Your vanity, it seems, has served you well
You keep takin' over
I keep rollin' over
Well, the tongue inside my mouth is not for sale
Any spirit left in me is fading fast
Could you throw another stone to ease my pain?
Could you throw another stone to seal my faith?
'Cause I didn't believe in this world anymore, anymore
I don't believe in me
And if I can rise above this, I'll be saved
Can anybody save me?
And if I can die for love, then I'm enslaved
Can anybody save me?
Second chances are too few and far between
Will to change this circumstance eludes me still
Should I grow another shell in which to live?
Should I grow another shell and not forgive?
I don't believe in this world anymore, anymore
I don't believe in me
And if I can rise above this, I'll be saved
Can anybody save me?
And if I can die for love, then I'm enslaved
Can anybody save me?
Goodbye cruel world
Goodbye cruel world
Goodbye cruel world
At last you see me drown
And if I can rise above this, I'll be saved
Can anybody save me?
And if I can die for love, then I'm enslaved
Can anybody save me?
And if I can rise above this, I'll be saved
Can anybody save me?
And if I can die for love, then I'm enslaved
Can anybody save me?
Goodbye cruel world
As beautiful as fire against the evening sky
you fuel the lost desire- I no longer wanna die
Take me by the hand and see beyond the lies
Strip away the fences - leave me needing, leave me blind
I know you're so solo, but I can't.
Take me away - cause I dont wanna lose control
Take me away- cause I don't wanna lose it all
Relieved of all the pain you let me see again
Delievered from my shame now and I am lost for what to say
Cleansed and pure and weak, I suffer when I dream.
I need to find a purpose- I need to feel you needing me.
I know you're so solo, but I can't.
Pure and weak, I suffer when I dream
Cleansed of me, I suffer when I dream
Because I want you to stay, you take away the pain
I want you to stay, I need you here to keep me sane
I want you to stay- you take away the pain
And my words will be here when I’m gone
As I’m fading away against the wind
And the words you left me linger on
As I’m failing again now, never to change this
And I’m sympathetic,
never letting on I feel the way I do
As I’m falling apart again at the seam
And it seems I’m alone here, hollow again
As I’m flailing again against the wind
And the scars I am left with swallow again
As I’m failing again now, never to change this
And I’m sympathetic,
never letting on I feel the way I do
As I’m falling apart again at the seam
And I’m sympathetic,
never letting on I feel the way I do
As I’m falling apart again at the seam
The same old feelings are taking over
and I can’t seem to make them go away
And I can’t take all the pressure sober,
but I can’t seem to make it go away
The same old feelings are taking over
and I can’t seem to make them go away
And I can’t take all the pressure sober
(I can’t make it go away. I can’t make it go away)
And I’m sympathetic,
never letting on I feel the way I do
As I’m falling apart again at the seam
And I’m sympathetic,
never letting on I feel the way I do
As I’m falling apart again at the seam
And I’m falling, falling, falling,
falling, falling, falling, falling
I'm doing fine
Even though you preyed upon my mind
Been living a lie
Seems every day it eats me
Yeah, and there's no resolution
Yeah, but it makes me think twice
Yeah, and I need retribution
You don't get it that I'm your pollution
I'm breathing a sigh
In a passing away I'll take my time
I'm still getting high
I love the way it feeds me
Yeah, and there's no resolution
Yeah, but it makes me think twice
Yeah, and I need retribution
Just don't get it that I'm the solution now
And you can't keep me down, my friend
You can't keep me down, my friend
I'm doing fine
Even though this hatred plagues my mind
I'm living a lie
But I love the way you need me
Yeah, and there's no resolution
Yeah, but it makes me think twice
Yeah, and I need retribution
You don't get it that I'm your pollution
Yeah, but there's no resolution
Yeah, but it makes me think twice
Yeah, now I need retribution
I never seem to find a reason
to let you in again, or forgive you
I’m sick of feeling like I need you
knowing I never did, but I miss you
Taking and breaking and hating
I remember all you said to me now
Faking, forsaking and failing
my memories are all stained again
Let me get inside your head
Let me show you I’m prepared
Let me stick my needles in
And let me hurt you again
I never reach my indecision
to let you see again all I give you
I’m sick of feeding your attention,
knowing I never did. I distress you
Taking and breaking and hating
I remember all you said to me now
Faking, forsaking and failing
my memories are all stained again
Let me get inside your head
Let me show you I’m prepared
Let me stick my needles in
And let me hurt you again
Fuck you for killing me
Fuck you for killing me
Yeah. Let me get inside your head
Let me show you I’m prepared
Let me stick my needles in
And let me hurt you again
If we don't talk about it
Then I won't sleep tonight at all
If we don't reconcile it
Then I won't dream
If we don't simplify it
And let the truth reveal itself
Then we won't laugh about it
And we won't heal.
'Cause I won't run from myself, now, any more
I won't comfort myself, now, any more
I have nothing to hide, but you can't see me naked
I won't bleed on the floor, now
Here for you.
If we don't rectify this
Then I won't breathe tonight at all
And, yeah, I really want this
I want to feel
If you won't talk about this
Then I can't be here any more
If we can't laugh about this
I'll never heal.
'Cause I won't run from myself, now, any more
I won't comfort myself, now, any more
I have nothing to hide, but you can't see me naked
I won't bleed on the floor, now
Here for you.
'Cause I won't run from myself, now, any more
I won't comfort myself, now, any more
I have nothing to hide, but you can't see me naked
I won't bleed on the floor, now
Here for you...
You...
You...
Your insecurity,
can make me feel so helpless
feel like letting go
Your insincerity,
it makes a world of difference
You will never know
Another voiced rejection
Throw it at me
Please just let me go
Another selfish reason
Throw it at me
Please just let me go
It's all too much for me
I cannot hide the sickness you bring on in me
Free of sympathy
You'll never know how it hurts
You will never know
Another voiced rejection
Throw it at me
Please just let me go
Another selfish reason
Throw it at me
Please just let me go
Throw it at me
Please just let me go
Another selfish reason
Throw it at me
Please just let me go
Another voiced rejection
Throw it at me
Please just let me go
Another selfish reason
Throw it at me
Please just let me go.
Now I'll take the blame
So forget my name
Just close the blinds
So I can come down
I'm naked and shamed
Moth to the flame
Just take my hand
So we can both drown
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again
The same sweet game
Your halo is aflame
Feel my heart race
And breathe a sad sight
Let me wash away
And let go of the pain
Just look away
And turn a blind eye
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again (again)
So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer
So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer
So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again(again)
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
Take the night and darken everything around me
Call the clouds and listen closely, I'm lost without you
Call your name everyday, when I feel so helpless
I'm fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Hate your mind, regrets are better left unspoken
For all we know this void will grow
And everything's in vain, distressing you, don't leave me open
Feels so right that I'll end this all before it gets me
Call your name everyday, when I feel so helpless
I'm fallen down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Call your name everyday when I seem so helpless
I'm fallen down but I'll rise above this rise, rise above this now
I'll mend myself before it gets me
I'll mend myself before it gets me
I'll mend myself before it gets me
I'll mend myself before it gets me
Call your name everyday when I feel so helpless
I'm fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Forty eight ways to say that I'm feeling helpless
Fallen down and I'll rise above this, rise above this
Rise above this, rise above this now
I guess I like it when we play
(The way you drag me down)
I guess I like it when you hate me
(The way you drag me down)
€˜Cause I can€™t face myself in a mirror
(I€™m left alone with all my pain)
And I disgrace myself in the mirror
(I€™m left alone with my shame)
Fuck it! I see you in me
Fuck it! I feel you in me

Fuck it! I feel you in me

You€™re out of luck - can€™t get a piece of me
It€™s all blown up. Don€™t even fuck with me.
I cannot please you all forever
I cannot please you at all
(I can feel you coming up behind me)
Fuck it! I see you in me

I find it hard to live with all my choices
It's time to turn a deaf ear to those voices
Did you ever think to ask my opinion
Did you ever think to ask if i'm ok?
I've burned down every bridge that i've found
Now i limit myself to a six gun quota
I've played down every feelin' i've felt
And i bottled them up 'til the well ran over
Give every indication that you're mended
Take every rule you come across and bend it
And did you ever think to ask my opinion?
And did you ever think to ask if i'm ok?
I've burned down every bridge that i've found
Now i limit myself to a six gun quota
I've played down every feelin' i've felt
And i bottled them up 'til the well ran over
It feels so good to be numb
I hate what i have become
It feels so good to be numb
I've burned down every bridge that i've found
Now i limit myself to a six gun quota
I've played down every feelin' i've felt
Have you ever wanted to die when you were without your friends?
Haven’t you said goodbye to the one on who your life depends?
Could it be that I don’t wanna save you anymore? Could it be that we don’t have what it takes?
(Yeah)
Have you ever wished for fire to burn away your mind restraints?
Haven’t you been for hire or suffered those cheap complaints?
Could it be that I don’t wanna save you anymore?
Could it be that we don’t have what it takes?
Take it away ‘cause I don’t like this anymore
Take it away and throw it away
Have you ever wanted to die when you were without your friends?
Haven’t you said goodbye to the one on who your life depends?
Could it be that I don’t wanna hurt you anymore? Could it be that we don’t have what it takes?
Take it away ‘cause I don’t like this anymore
Take it away and throw it away
Take it away ‘cause I don’t like this anymore
It irks me when I get burned
And I realize, I don't get hurt
And always, it seems I've lost my way
When I feel you, it's not enough
And I need you to shun my touch
I notice, the season's ripe for change
I'm weak
I'm weak
So with every new lesson learned
I could keep you before it turns
And the knowledge that things won't be the same
Now I realize, that you have won
And there's nothing to be said or done
And I notice, the wind won't blow my way
So run with the eyes of a devil
And keep them in your dreams
If you succumb to the lies of the rebel
You'll cleanse yourself of me
It kills me to watch this fade
And I realize, it's all charade
And every mistake I make's the same
I beseech you to let me drown
Will it please you to let me down?
And no one can save me from the pain
So run with the eyes of a devil
And keep them in your dreams
If you succumb to the lies of the rebel
You'll cleanse yourself of me
So run with the eyes of a devil
And keep them in your dreams
If you succumb to the lies of the rebel
You'll cleanse yourself of me
So run with the eyes of a devil
And keep them in your dreams
If you succumb to the lies of the rebel
You'll cleanse yourself of me
Jesus save me, Jesus save me
Jesus save me, Jesus save me
You could've been the real one
You could've been the one enough for me
You could've been the free one
The broken down and sick one
Remnant of a vacant life
You come around
When you find me faithless
You come around
When you find me faceless
Fuck me like you hate me
(Dig it up and tear it down)
Dig me up and hold me now
Fuck me like you hate me
(Dig it up and tear it down)
I love the sound when you come undone
You could of been the the next one
(God only knows)
You could've been the one to comprehend me
You could've been the only one
(The broken down and sick one)
You could've been the one who I lie with
You come around
When you finally face this
You come around
When you find me faceless
Fuck me like you hate me
(Dig it up and tear it down)
Dig me up and hold me now
Fuck me like you hate me
(Dig it up and tear it down)
Don't make a sound till I come undone
You'll never break me
You'll never break me
You'll never break me
You could've been the real one
You could've been the last one alive with
You could've been the owned one
I should've been the one who died
You come around
When you finally face this
You come around
When you find me faceless
Fuck me like you hate me
(Dig it up and tear it down)
Dig me up and hold me now
Fuck me like you hate me
(Dig it up and tear it down)
I love the sound when you come undone
Fuck me like you hate me
(Fuck me like you hate me)
Fuck me like you hate me
(You'll never break me)
Fuck me like you hate me
(Dig it up, tear it down)
I am a plastic man, wish I can be the one you could be proud of.
I'm losin heart again, wish I could show you what you think I'm made of.
Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade.
I am a perfect sell, just wrap me up with a bow and flowers.
I will neglect to tell, I'll sell your story that we love each other.
Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade.
Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I'll sing my last refrain.
Why don't let me be, and I'll pretend I'm well.
Cuz you're blind to see, and I'm too tired to tell.
And in your apathy, your head begins to swell.
Another tradegy, but you're too cold to feel.
Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade.
Trust all the things
I tell you are true
Dress up in your best
So I can be proud of you
And never believe I won't turn on you
And never believe I do this for you...
You're leading me on again
And I find it yeah I like it
And I'm reeling in awe for sure
Now I know it was given to me
Given to me, given to me...
How I wish I could be rid of the ennui
Make you regret and make you afraid of me
And never believe I do this for me
And never believe I'll do this gently
Can't believe in broken promises
And render conscious all of me
I'll tell you it's all for you
Try to hide myself
Give this to someone else
My hands are stained with scum
Wish I could wash it away
You keep taking, taking away
And keep breaking, breaking, break
I can't believe in yesterday
I feel you coming in
I can't just stand by and watch you
Save yourself as you fall from grace
When you come areound, I won't be your sympathy
The worst is over now
You said it anyhow
My life in monochrome
Wish I could regain control
You keep taking, taking away
I keep faking, faking, fake
Find me, feel me fill me, then cut me up again
Find me, feel me the cut me up
HATE
Oh, now I found myself, wish I was someone else
My hands are stained with love, wish I could take it away
I hid behind the shell, in time the pain will melt
My heart is stained with love, wish I could fake it
I gave my life away, there?s nothing left to say
I gave my life away, you take it in your way
You take it in your way
My selfish enemy still has the best of me
Empty and feeling numb, wish I could take it away
I can?t control the need too weak to not concede
Wish I was deaf and dumb, wish I could fake it
I gave my life away, there?s nothing left to say
I gave my life away, you take it in your way
You take it in your way
I gave my life away, there?s nothing left to say
I gave my life away, you take it in your way
You take it in your way
I can?t pretend we?re the same
I can?t pretend we?re the same
I can?t pretend we?re the same
Oh, now I found myself
Wish I was someone else
My hands are stained with love
Wish I could fake
I gave my life away, there?s nothing left to say
I gave my life away, you take it in your way
You take it in your way
I gave my life away, there?s nothing left to say
I gave my life away, you take it in your way
You take it in your way
You take it in your way
You take it in your way
You take it in your way
So I said this once before
I'm never gonna give you in
No, not again
Cause I've wasted all I've known,
to watch it fade and slip away now
from my hands
And what I have I have in mind
And I think about you all the time
I'm feeling miles away
You think I've got it made
I don't belong here
I feel like a candle burning at both ends
I don't belong here
Now I hide myself away
I never wanna feel again
Cause I faced this all alone
I let it seep and wash away now
It's all the same
And what I have I have in mind
And I think about you all the time
Never run away, son
Never run away, son
Never run away, son
Cause what I have I have in mind
I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
And I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me here anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Because I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Because I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me here anymore
I guess I like it when we play
(The way you drag me down)
I guess I like it when you hate me
(The way you drag me down)
‘Cause I can’t face myself in a mirror
(I’m left alone with all my pain)
And I disgrace myself in the mirror
(I’m left alone with my shame)
Fuck it! I see you in me
Fuck it! I feel you in me
Fuck it! I’ll heal you in me
Fuck it! I see you in me
Fuck it! I feel you in me
Fuck it! I’ll heal you in me
I guess I like it when we fight
(The way you drag me down)
I guess I like it when you smite me
(The way you drag me down)
‘Cause I can’t face myself in a mirror
(I’m left alone with all my pain)
And I disgrace myself in the mirror
(I’m left alone with my shame)
Fuck it! I see you in me
Fuck it! I feel you in me
Fuck it! I’ll heal you in me
Fuck it! I see you in me
Fuck it! I feel you in me
Fuck it! I’ll heal you in me
You’re out of luck - can’t get a piece of me
It’s all blown up. Don’t even fuck with me.
I cannot please you all forever
I cannot please you at all
(I can feel you coming up behind me)
Fuck it! I see you in me
Fuck it! I feel you in me
Fuck it! I’ll heal you in me
Fuck it! I see you in me
Fuck it! I feel you in me
Lonely in this white room, there are pads everywhere
Chafing straitjacket, I won’t die in there
Save me smiling Jesus, get off that cross
Hate me screaming masses
I don’t care if I’m lost
Don’t tell me that you’re all better
I don’t care if you are Don’t tell me that you’re trendsetters
I don’t care if you are
Lowly with my head bowed, there are rats everywhere
Feed me bread and water
I won’t die in there
Save me smiling Jesus, get off that cross
Hate me screaming masses
I don’t care if I’m lost
Don’t tell me that you’re all better
I don’t care if you are Don’t tell me that you’re trendsetters
I don’t care if you are
Say you will take my pills
Say you will faking ill
Don’t tell me that you’re all better
I don’t care if you are Don’t tell me that you’re bed wetters
I don’t care if you are
Say you will take my pills
Say you will faking ill
Say you will (say you will) take my pills (take my pills)
I wanna be there when you call
I wanna catch you when you fall
I wanna be the one you need
I wanna be the one you breathe
Today’s the day we’ll fade away, oh
Today’s the day we’ll fade away, oh
Today’s the day we’ll find our way grown
Today’s the day we’ll fade away
I wanna be there when you cry
And when you’re down I’ll help you fly
I wanna be the one you need
I wanna be the one you breathe
Today’s the day we’ll fade away, oh
Today’s the day we’ll fade away, oh
Today’s the day we’ll find our way grown
Today’s the day we’ll fade away, oh
But I’m coming back,
and I’m taking back everything I can
It’s breaking me up and tearing me up
It’s all I have
And I’m coming back,
and I’m taking back everything I can
It’s breaking me up and tearing me up
It’s all I have
Today’s the day we’ll fade away, oh
Today’s the day we’ll fade away, oh
Today’s the day we’ll find our way grown
Today’s the day we’ll fade away, oh
Today’s the day we’ll fade away, oh
I can’t remember a better day
One without giving up
The shine has worn off the things you say
It’s just not good enough
I need to take this back and slow it down, shine your crown
I can’t pretend that I feel the same
My skin’s not thick enough
There’s no comfort in song
I find it hard to believe
Don’t go gently into the night
But keep on fighting as the light dies
A wise man knows that the dark’s right
But will keep on coming, keep on coming on
Some will tell you that it’s all right
The sun is burning in a dead sky
But you can’t keep living in a broke mind
So keep on running, keep on coming on
There is nothing that you can say
To bring me running back
My mind is reeling but its okay
The storm is pushing back
Another open mouth to cut me down, let me drown
I can’t remember a better day
But I’m not coming back
There’s no comfort in song
I find it hard to believe
Don’t go gently into the night
But keep on fighting as the light dies
A wise man knows that the dark’s right
But will keep on coming, keep on coming on
Some will tell you that it’s all right
The sun is burning in a dead sky
But you can’t keep living in a broke mind
So keep on running, keep on coming on
So don’t go gently into the night
But keep on fighting as the light dies
A wise man knows that the dark’s right
But will keep on coming, keep on coming on
Some will tell you that it’s all right
But the sun is burning in a dead sky
But you can’t keep living in a broke mind
So keep on running, keep on coming on
Keep on coming, keep on coming on
Some will tell you that it’s all right
The sun is burning in a dead sky
But you can’t keep living in a broke mind
If I gave you the truth, would it keep you alive?
Though I'm closer to wrong, I'm no further from right
And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me
Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me, yeah
No there's nothing you say that can salvage the lie
But I'm trying to keep my intentions disguised
And now I'm deprived of my conscience and something's got to give
Deprived of my conscience, this all belongs to me, yeah
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
The deception you show is your own parasite
Just a word of advice you can heed if you like
And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me
Convinced on the inside you're so much more than me, yeah
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm beaten down
I'm beaten down
I'm beaten down
I'm not gonna waste this
This opportunity's mine
I'm sick of complaining
About a beautiful life
How did we get here?
Did we forget all the things inside?
And how do we stay here?
Do we embrace all the things tonight?
I feel so alive tonight
You got me feeling sublime
I wanna yell it from the rooftop down
Until it's over and we're older
For my entertainment
You tell a whimsical lie
To keep me complacent
You knock me down with a smile
How did we get here?
How do we pretend everything's alright?
And how do we stay here?
Do we erase all the fear tonight?
I feel so alive tonight
You got me feeling sublime
I wanna yell it from the rooftop down
Until it's over and we're older
Like sugar and cyanide
These walls are gonna collide
I wanna yell it from the rooftop down
Until it's over and we're older
Yeah
So take me
But go slow
And let me hide somewhere I know
And let this
Seed grow
Until we finally call this home
So take me
But go slow
And let me hide somewhere I know
And let this
Seed grow
Until we finally call this home
If I were to die tonight
Would it tear you apart
Would you yell it from the rooftops down
Until it's over
And you're older
I feel so alive tonight
You got me feeling sublime
I wanna yell it from the rooftop down
Until it's over and we're older
Like sugar and cyanide
I'm never meant to collide
I wanna yell it from the rooftops down
until it's over and we're older
Can you remember when
When we used to live
Never in distress?
Or can you picture then
Only used to pride
Ourselves on neatness?
I can't understand
What you meant to me
Made me wild
Then you tied my hands
You tied my hands
Can you remember when
When we used to laugh
At those mistakes we made?
Can you picture then
How we used to drive
And never reach the end?
'Cos I can't understand
What you meant to me
Made me wild
Then you tied my hands
You tied my hands
Since you went away
Made me find
I have nothing to say
Since you went away
Made me find
I have nothing to say
'Cos I can't understand
What you meant to me
Made me wild
Then you tied my hands
'Cos I can't understand
What you meant to me
Made me wild
Then you tied my hands
You tied my hands
You tied my hands
You tied my hands
You tied my hands
You tied my hands
Hold me now I need to feel relief
Like I never wanted anything
I suppose I'll let this go and find a reason I'll hold on to
I'm so ashamed of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to get by
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all
I can't face myself when I wake up
And look inside a mirror
I'm so ashamed of that thing
I suppose I'll let it go
Untill I have something more to say for me
I'm so afraid of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to defy
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all
Hold me now I need to feel complete
Like I matter to the one I need
This song kicks ass!!!!
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all
Now I'm ashamed of this
I am so ashamed of this
Now I'm so ashamed of this
Give in to me
Don't let them see
Give in to me
Do you wanna play with me
Give in to me
Don't let them see
Give in to me
Do you want to stay with me
See you in the mucous stains
Vaseline and stink remains
Seen you reach up to the sun
Seems I hate what you've become
Do you wanna play with me
Do you wanna stay with me
Do you wanna play with me
Do you wanna stay with me
Come on stay and play
Come on pay to play
Come on stay and play
Come on pay to play
Give in to me
Don't let them see
Give in to me
Do you want to stay with me
Give in to me
Don't let them see
Give in to me
Do you wanna play with me
Seen you move and break up homes
Broke your body broke your bones
Seen you get burned on the sun
Seems I hate what you've become
Do you wanna play with me
Do you wanna stay with me
Do you wanna play with me
Do you wanna stay with me
Come on stay and play
Come on pay to play
Come on stay and play
Come on pay to play
Give in to me
Don't let them see
Give in to me
Do you want to stay with me
Give in to me
Don't let them see
Give in to me
Do you want to play with me
Seen you in the mucous stains
Vaseline and stink remains
Seen you get burned on the sun
Seems I hate what you've become
Do you wanna play with me
Do you wanna stay with me
Do you wanna play with me
Do you wanna stay with me
Come on stay and play
Come on pay to play
Come on stay and play
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals Ive trapped
Have all become my pets
And Im living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
Its okay to eat fish
cause they dont have any feelings
(x3)
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals Ive trapped
Have all become my pets
And Im living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
Its okay to eat fish
cause they dontt have any feelings
(x4)
Something in the way, mmm
Here I stand before myself
I see somethings out of place
You tasted all my purity
Now there's nothing left to waste
The feeling gets so in my way
It's getting lost in my delivery
The feeling gets so in my way
I'm getting lost in your periphery
And you sold me up the river again
(I don't wanna be alone again)
And you made me start it over again
(I don't wanna be alone again)
And you moved me, and you soothed me, and you fought me
(I don't wanna be alone again)
And you left me wondering what the hell
What is wrong with me?
I never felt like i had felt
Until the day you came undone
I never felt like I was lost
Until the day you killed me again
The feeling gets so in my way
It's getting lost in my delivery
The feeling gets so in my way
I'm getting lost in your periphery
And you sold me up the river again
(I don't wanna be alone again)
And you made me start it over again
(I don't wanna be alone again)
And you moved me, and you soothed me, and you fought me
(I don't wanna be alone again)
And you left me wondering what the hell
What is wrong with me?
Are you stronger
For cutting me open
Are you stronger
For leaving me broken
And you sold me up the river again
(I don't wanna be alone again)
And you made me start it over again
(I don't wanna be alone again)
And you moved me, and you soothed me, and you fought me
(I don't wanna be alone again)
And you left me wondering what the hell
Watch it blow my mind, it's something
I am ill prepared to remedy
But let it slow the time, it takes to die
And close your eyes to your enemy, defy
Self-made millionaires won't take ideas
From all the little plebeians
Just suffocate with smiles and force fed lies
And close your mind to reality, deny
It feels like I'm losing again when I've lost
Everything, I'm sure I will see more clearly
Lose what I'm feeling to them and not feeling
Anything, I'm sure I will bleed sincerely tonight
Watch it blow my mind, it's something
I am ill prepared to remedy
But let it slow the time, it takes to die
And close your eyes to your enemy, defy
It feels like I'm losing again when I've lost
Everything, I'm sure I will see more clearly
Lose what I'm feeling to them and not feeling
Anything, I'm sure I will bleed sincerely tonight
So, you make the simplest mistake
So, you make the simplest mistake
And fearlessly you deny your involvement
In my demise but give me your open hand
It feels like I'm losing again when I've lost
Everything, I'm sure I will see more clearly
Lose what I'm feeling to them and not feeling
Anything, I'm sure I will bleed sincerely tonight
Feels like I'm losing again when I've lost
Everything, I'm sure I will see more clearly
Lose what I'm feeling to them and not feeling
You feed this disease which you shelter underneath the scars
And dream of better things rendered helpless by those wicked charms
But please don't believe when I say it's hard to breathe
Save me
Even as you break me
Every time you rape me
Leave me coming all undone
Praise me
Turn your back and hate me
Every time you waste me
Keep me underneath your thumb
You bleed on the sheets, whisper softly how you love the stars
Then plead on your knees, pledge your promises to do no harm
But please just let me be, I still find it hard to breathe
Save me
Even as you break me
Every time you rape me
Leave me coming all undone
Praise me
Turn your back and hate me
Every time you waste me
Keep me underneath your thumb
Save me
Even as you break me
Every time you rape me
Leave me coming all undone
Praise me
Turn your back and hate me
Every time you waste me
Keep me underneath your thumb
Save me
Don't turn your back and break me
Every time you rape me
Throw your dollar bills
And leave your thrills
All here with me
And speak but don't pretend
I won't defend you anymore you see
It aches in every bone
I'll die alone
But not for you
My eyes don't need to see
That ugly thing
I know it's me you fear
If you want me hold me back
Frail, the skin is dry and pale
The pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high
Just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
I don't need a friend
I need to mend so far away
So come sit by the fire
And play a while
But you can't stay too long
It aches in every bone
I'll die alone
But not for pleasure
I see my heart explode
It's been eroded by the weather here
If you want me hold me back
Frail, the skin is dry and pale
The pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high
Just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
Frail, the skin is dry and pale
The pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high
Just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
Hold your eyes closed
Take me in
Hold your eyes closed
Take me in
Frail, the skin is dry and pale
The pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high
Just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
Frail, the skin is dry and pale
The pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high
Just leave them where they lie
Take it. Break it. Rape it. Forsake it.
In time you will
Find it. Maim it. Thrill it and shame it
In time you will
Steal my pride
Leave me blind
Steal my pride
Take it. Break it. Rape it. Forsake it.
Take it. Break it. Rape it. Forsake it.
In time you will
Find me. Maim me. Thrill me and shame me.
In time you will
Steal my pride
Leave me blind
Steal my pride
And leave me blind, blind, blind now.
Leave me blind, blind, blind now.
I am silence sent to find you
I am violence sent to find you
I am silence sent to find you
I am violence sent to fuck you up
Take me and break me. Rape me. Forsake me.
In time you will
Find me and maim me and thrill me and shame me
In time you will
Hate me. Hate me. Hate me. Hate me.
Well now kill me. Kill me. Kill me. Kill me.
Steal my pride
Leave me blind
I think it's time for a change
Cause things feel out of touch
And I watch you walk away again
Well this feels like too much
(Can you take it away?)
And things won't go my way
Now I'll have to fade away my friend
So pass slowly
And carry me down
Then render me lonely
When you're not around
I need to shake off this pain
But courage takes too much
So I have to walk away again
Oh god I miss your touch
(Can you take it away?)
The way you keep me safe
I won't let you fade away my friend
So pass slowly
And carry me down
Remember me only
When you're not around
Oh yeah
Can't you stay awhile longer
Oh yeah
Won't you stay
God please stay
And pass slowly
(I think it's time for a change)
And whittle me down
(Cause things feel out of touch)
Render me lonely
(And I watch you walk away again)
When you're not around
So pass slowly
(Well this feels like too much)
And let me down easy
(And things won't go my way)
Render me lonely
(Now I'll have to fade away my friend)
Out of my way
Out of my way
I can?t pass up this opportunity to make myself absurd
I can?t pass up this opportunity to let myself be heard
Would you, like to be the one who sees me lose this all
Would you like to be the one who sees me fall
Nobody?s gonna stand in my way
Give it up son, I?m doin? this my way
Nobody?s gonna stand in my way
Give it up son, I?m doin? this my way
You like to think the worst is over now, but you can't breathe at all
You like to think you?re owed a favor now, man, you?ve seen it all
Did you want to be the one who pushed me off the wall?
Did you want to be the one who let me fall?
Nobody?s gonna stand in my way
Give it up son, I?m doin? this my way
Nobody?s gonna stand in my way
Give it up son, I?m doin? this my way
You can?t hold me down
You can?t hold me down
You can?t hold me down
You can?t hold me down
I can?t pass up this opportunity to make myself absurd
I can?t pass up this opportunity to let myself be heard
Would you, like to be the one who sees me lose this all
Would you like to be the one who sees me fall
Nobody?s gonna stand in my way
Give it up son, I?m doin? this my way
Nobody?s gonna stand in my way
Give it up son, I?m doin? this my way
Nobody?s gonna stand in my way
Give it up, I?m doin? this my way
Nobody?s gonna stand in my way
Give it up, I?m doin? this my way
I'm trying to find a reason to mend my ways
But this hesitation, oh well it slows me down
And it feels like I have lost you along the way, yeah
No ventilation, oh well it chokes me out
(Confront it)
If you keep talking that way
Nobody's gonna find it hard
If you keep passing the blame, yeah
You'll die with a lonely heart
I am filled with reservation and you with shame
A compulsive nature and a hurtful mouth
Now I make this observation to clear my name
You're a black constellation with the stars burnt out
(Confront it)
If you keep talking that way
Nobody's gonna find it hard
If you keep passing the blame, yeah
You'll die with a lonely heart
You can't make me stay, yeah
Can't make me stay, yeah
Can't make me stay, yeah
Can't make me stay
(Confront it)
If you keep talking that way
Nobody's gonna find it hard
If you keep passing the blame, yeah
You'll die with a lonely heart
You can't make me stay, yeah
Can't make me stay, yeah
Can't make me stay, yeah
Today
You seem a little far away
I hate that I don't have the words to say:
I'm bored of all the little games you play
A cage is never gonna make me stay.
If we don't help ourselves, we'll fall
I find no comfort in this world.
I'll never find my way
And I'm broken by...
No shelter for me
I'll never compensate
Just to keep you mine
No shelter for me –
Awake
I need a little comforting
I break
My mind is sick of wandering
I'm yours
I love it when I'm suffering
Too late, I don't believe in anything.
If we don't help ourselves, we'll fall
I find no comfort in this world.
I'll never find my way
And I'm broken by...
No shelter for me
I'll never compensate
Just to keep you mine
No shelter for me –
There's no shelter here
There's no shelter
No way out of here!!!
I'll never find my way
And I'm broken by...
No shelter for me
I'll never compensate
Just to keep you mine
No shelter for me –
I'll never find my way
And I'm broken by...
No shelter for me
I'll never compensate
Will I fall again into dismay?
Will I be ashamed of crying?
And I know it's never been the way that I described
But I am afraid of trying
She's the one who keeps me all excited
She keeps me begging for more
She's the one who deems me uninvited
Now it's over
Never leave me, and don't deceive me
I'll keep on crawling my friend
Never tease me, and don't leave me here
It's all the same in the end
Now I find that I am weaker fare
That I am ashamed of lying
And I know things never feel the way that's right inside
And I am afraid of dying
'Cause you're the one who keeps me all excited
You keep me begging for more
You're the one who keeps me uninvited
Now it's over
Never leave me, and don't deceive me
I'll keep on crawling my friend
Never tease me, and don't leave me here
It's all the same in the end
Never leave me, and don't deceive me
I'll keep on crawling my friend
It's only a symbol
You've got me falling away
And I am afraid
Take back what I said
Never leave me, and don't deceive me
I'll keep on crawling my friend
Never tease me, and don't leave me here
It's all the same in the end
Never leave me, and don't deceive me
I'll keep on crawling my friend
Never tease me, and don't leave me here
It's all the same in the end
It?s all the same in the end
It?s all the same in the end
It?s all the same in the end
Steal my sight and then
Fill my mind with foreign words to keep me wanting
And speak now child
And chill my heart with all the hurt and keep me
suffering
All these promises
Lectures and bold face lies
All these promises
Born of a shameless mind
Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cool promises
You stole my dreams
Yeah all my dreams I'm dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dream
Now all i believe is dead inside
Be quick now child
And soil my bed with all your dirt
Just keep me suffering
All these promises
Lectures and bold face lies
All these promises
Born of a shameless mind
Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cool promises
You stole my dreams
Yeah all my dreams I'm dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dreams
Now all i believe is dead inside
Don't let me sleep
Take me back
But don't let me be comfortable
If I get too weak
Cut no slack
But don't let me be comfortable
Don't let me sleep
Take me back
But don't let me be comfortable
Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cool promises
You stole my dreams
Yeah all my dreams I'm dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dreams
Now all I believe is dead inside
If you say you're alive
When you pray you're a liar
Oh you'll hate when I'm right
I met a girl who hated the world - she used her body to sell her soul
Everytime they'd break her and pay - tear out her heart, and leave her in pain
I never found out how she survived all of the sadness she kept inside
I never found out how she could lie with a smile on her face,
and the scratches she'd hide
You could love her if you paid, you could have her everyday
You could love her if you prayed, you could have her every way
Down on her knees, she wept on the floor - this hopeless life she wanted no more
Dead in her mind and cold to the bone - she opened her eyes and saw she was alone
She never found out how much I tried - all of the sadness she kept made me blind
She never found out how much I cried - the rope so tight on the night that she died...
I never found out how she survived - a life lived in lies is a life of denial
Premeditation will kill the trust
They'll never know if you fear me
With every second collecting dust
I feel so bloated and weary
'cause she belongs to heaven
She's comin' over like a suicide
And it's the same old trip
The same old trip as before
Another complicating suicide
And it's the same old trip
The same old trip as before
Burn...
She'll cut you down with a single thrust
She's taken over too quickly
No medication can cure the lust
So say a prayer for the sickly
'cause she belongs to heaven
She's comin' over like a suicide
And it's the same old trip
The same old trip as before
Another complicating suicide
And it's the same old trip
The same old trip as before... as before...
You set me up to fucking fail this time
She's comin' over like a suicide
And it's the same old trip
The same old trip as before
Another overbearing suicide
And it's the same old trip
The same old trip
She's coming over wearing genocide
And it's the same old trip
The same old trip as before
Another complicating suicide
And it's the same old trip
I broke a promise now
So I'm Less of a man
I'll try to remember how
So try, forget if you can
Now wash the sheets and tear my face right down off all the walls
Now wash the sheets and tear my face right down off all the walls
Now wash the sheets and tear my face right down off all the walls
Now wash the sheets and tear my face...
Come on and call on me
I want to let you down
Come on and call on me
I wanna see you right now
I never wanted to bleed you
Never wanted your hand
Come on and call on me dear
I know that decadence
Defiles what I am
I know that innocence
Decides what I am
I wanna feel this pain again before I fade away
I wanna feel this pain again before I fade away
I wanna feel this pain again before I fade away
I wanna feel this pain again
Come on and call on me
I want to let you down
Come on and call on me
I wanna see you right now
I never wanted to bleed you
Never wanted your hand
Come on and call on me dear
And now I understand
This sufferings everywhere
There's so much left to learn
Come on and call on me
I want to let you down
Come on and call on me
I wanna see you right now
I never wanted to bleed you
Never wanted your hand
Come on and call on me
I wanna let you down
Come on and call on me
I wanna let you down
Come on and call on me
I wanna let you down
Come on and call on me
I wanna let you down
Come on and call on me dear
And now I understand
There's not much left for me here
I guess it's over now
There's so much left to pay
There's so much left to pay
There's so much left to pay
Here she's coming and she's drunk again
She's only seventeen
Her daddy said "well that's enough of that come be my little queen"
And now he's touching her wrong again
He's gonna give her disease
He never wanted it anyway
He only does as he please
Won't you tell her that I said I'm the one
I couldn't hurt her like everyone
And tell her that I said I'm the one
And I don't deserve her
Here he's coming and he's drunk again
He's on amphetamines
Scratch his nails down the other leg
'Cause you're my little queen
And now he's touching her wrong again
She's only trying to get by
He never wanted it anyway
He never soils the child
Won't you tell her that I said I'm the one
I couldn't hurt her like everyone
And tell her that I said I'm the one
And I don't deserve her
We're coming for you
This fear has me chilled down to the bone
And I have been haunted by these things I still have
left to say
I'm weary of fighting this alone
So tired of holding on to strings much better left to
fray
And I said
Hear me now, here and now I'm calling
Memories wear me down and this
Seems so complicated
When all i want is just the truth
I'm wilted and faded after all
Too strung out and burnt out to be
Half the man that I could be
I'll never belong inside your world
So black out the sun and leave me
To play out the same old tragedy
And I said
Hear me now here and now I'm calling
Memories wear me out and this
Seems too complicated
When all i want is just the truth
And I said
Hear me now here and now I'm calling
Memories wear me out and this
Seems too complicated
When all i want is just the truth
You're my savior after all
Use your flame to guide me home
And then lay your hand on me
And I said
Hear me now here and now I'm calling
Memories wear me down and this
Seems so complicated
When all I want is just the truth
Hear me now here and now I'm calling
Memories wear me out and this
Seems too complicated
Your heart is carved in stone
And apathy flows in your veins
When flesh falls from the bone
You've taken all you can take (you can take x3)
Don't believe in anyone
'cause they'll feel you so much more
Deep inside the venom is burning
Lover
When stink fades into smell
The liquor has washed you away
When face cracks into smile
You've taken all you can take (you can take
Don't believe in anyone
'cause they'll feel you so much more
Deep inside the venom is burning
Lover
You can't take
I'll give in
You can't break
What's broken
Your mistake
I'll rest my body in the ground
Don't believe in anyone
'cause they'll feel you so much more
Deep inside the venom is burning
Love
Don't believe in anyone
'cause the day that you were born
It seems like every day's the same
And I'm left to discover on my own
It seems like everything is gray
And there's no color to behold
They say it's over and I'm fine again, yeah
Try to stay sober, feels like I'm dying here
And I am aware now of how
Everything's gonna be fine
One day, too late, I'm in Hell
I am prepared now
Seems everyone's gonna be fine
One day, too late, just as well
I feel the dream in me expire
And there's no one left to blame it on
I hear you label me a liar
'Cause I can't seem to get this through
You say it's over, I can sigh again, yeah
But why try to stay sober when I'm dying here?
And I am aware now of how
Everything's gonna be fine
One day, too late, I'm in Hell
I am prepared now
Seems everyone's gonna be fine
One day, too late, just as well
And I'm not scared now
I must assure you
You're never gonna get away
And I'm not scared now, no
And I'm not scared now, no
So, yeah, I am aware now of how
Everything's gonna be fine
One day, too late, I'm in Hell
I am prepared now
Seems everyone's gonna be fine
One day, too late, just as well
I am prepared now
Seems everything's gonna be fine
For me, for me, for myself
For me, for me, for myself
For me, for me, for myself
I am prepared now for myself
