Sitting in a dark room
Falling to pieces
Try to find the right words
So you can sing along
Wear it like a tight noose
I don't wanna feel this
Might of made a wrong move
Now I'm all alone
I never know which way to go
A million thoughts I can't control
The city sleeps, but I can't close my eyes
California
California
Drowning in a bright room
Faking the feelings
Wonder if the right words
Are even here at all
I'm living through the hardest part
In a city full of fallen stars
A million dreams I can't close my eyes
California
California
We are the left behind
Lost on the roads you followed
We are the compromise
We've opened up our eyes
Fight the hand that feeds you lies
This time we make it right
Don't' need a reason tonight
So sick of waiting for something to change my life
Chorus:
Hey hey, the soul lives for the feeding
Hey hey, thick as thieves we are the feeling
Hey hey the soul lives for the feeding
Hey hey, thick as thieves we are the feeling
We'll never fall in line
And walk the roads you followed
We are the ones who rise
Just open up your eyes
Fight the hand that feeds you lies
It's time we make it right
Don't need a reason tonight
So sick of waiting for something to change my life
Chorus:
Hey hey, the soul lives for the feeding
Hey hey, thick as thieves we are the feeling
Hey hey the soul lives for the feeding
Hey hey, thick as thieves we are the feeling
I'm a ...that you open fire in the night
A flame that you can't burn out
I remember you said ... the voice in my head
And the feeling is gone from your eyes, far away
Away, away, away, away, don't let it kill you from the inside
Breathe it in, breathe it out, let it all fall down
Let it go, let it go, whoa, give it away, let it go
Just give it away, away, let it go
You're the lies ...to blame, you're the first one to lie
The words that you can't drown out
I remember the day when your moment was changed
And the ... it is gone from your eyes, far away
Away, away, away, away, don't let it kill you from the inside
Breathe it in, breathe it out, let it all fall down
Let it go, let it go, whoa, give it away, let it go
Just give it away, away, let it go
One last time, one last call
No more lies, say you ...
One last time, one last call
No more lies, say you ...
Breathe it in, breathe it out, let it all fall down
Let it go, let it go, whoa, give it away, let it go
A million to one
A father a son
Waste of a life
With all these years gone by
I still feel the same
I'm trying to change
You left this like
A thief in the night
Run out of ways
And chances to make this right
And I don't need the same
And I don't blame you
I don't really wanna change your mind
Cause it's all run out
The hardest way to start is over
Medicate till I feel sober
Lifes like war within
The silent lies that pull me under
Tell myself I don't belong here
Lifes like war within
The edge of the knife
The fear on the rise
So many lost
What too many gave away
It wasn't mine to take
Somebody failed you
Feel alive again
Breathing out the sin
Miles away their calling out
The stars aligned up tonight, but you can't even see the light
Blinded by the scars inside you
Say ...you're in the light, hard to say if you're alive
Broken bottle world around you
You keep going round and round and round
You keep going round and round and round
[Chorus]
Fallen in a confusion, for their illusion
Nothing but circles now
Crawling, feel like they own you, do what they told you
Feel yourself, get up, get out
Break, out of the circles now
Break, out of the circles now
Wake up, another day, hear the voice can't see the face
Closing in the walls around you
The cure the calls the blood the race
The reasons that you need this chase
You've lost it in the days that drowned you
Keep going round and round and round
Keep going round and round and round
[Chorus]
Falling in a confusion, for their illusion
Nothing but circles now
Crawling, feel like they own you, do what they told you
Feel yourself, get up, get out
Break, out of the circles now
Break, out of the circles now
Run, cause I know you're alive,
I know there's so much more inside you
But it feels like you're loosing, your mind
There's a wave in your eyes
I know you'll find away to stay, stay away from
[Chorus]
Falling in a confusion, for their illusion
Into the circles now circles now
Crawling, feel like they own you, do what they told you
Feel yourself, get up, get out
Break, out of the circles now
Break, out of the circles now
Break, out of the circles now
Break, out of the circles now
Break, out of the circles now
The sign on the wall was the same before
The words are so loud, as they fall from your mouth
I know the miles are sure to come
You needed an out, I needed a change
I know inside you feel the same
And now, I've been waiting here so long
Wish I could let go and just move on
Doesn't matter this time, who's right and who was wrong
Cause it's never gonna hurt like this again
I know it was wrong, we changed too much
You said it was time, you had enough
Now I stare at the wall, for the old lights to come
You needed an out, you needed a change
Somewhere inside I felt the same
I've been everywhere to find you here
Waiting at my door
I've done all I can, but somehow you want more
But it's never gonna hurt like this again
With a southern smile she don't seem cold
Drive right through to a Midwest storm
There's a broken heart across the field
Where the sun don't shine and the wounds won't heal
With a sober smile I can't sit still
Gonna leave this life and you know I will
With all I've lost and all I hold
There's a need in me to lose control
Till I see you, but you don't see me
I bleed you, but you won't heal me
I scream you, but you don't hear me
I dreamed you, but you don't see me
Gonna cross that line, I won't look back
Gonna save myself from the things I lack
With all I've lost and all I'm told
I watched you fall to pieces, I let this whole world come undone
How would you know? You left me all surrounding
You left this broken by the sun
Look what you've done
You see what you want me to see
Just wake what you want from me!
I'm running for my life, I'll run until the end
The only life I know,
You kept this all inside you, you kept me blinded by the light
How would you know, the way that pulled you under
The fire inside you won't burn now
Look what you've done
You see what you want me to see
Just wake what you want from me!
I'm running for my life, I'll run until the end
The only way I'm safe from falling
Leaves me calling
You're running for your life, you'll run until the end
The only life you know
I'll never be what you want me to be
I know that you see me!
Feels like I'm falling apart ...
I know that you see me!
I know that you see me!
You see what you want me to see
Just wake what you want from me!
I'm running for my life, I'll run until the end
The only way I'm safe from falling
Leaves me calling
You're running for your life, you'll run until the end
The only life you know
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
A million miles away from where you are
How dare let you get away under these stars
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
A thousand bridges burn I won't go back
A hundred lesson learn and I won't ...
What would you say what would you do what would you hold on to
Where would you go when nothing to lose
Would you change who would you love would you
Do it all the same if I tell you is your last day
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
These memories are scars from my past
No roof or broking arms cause they don't last
What would you say what would you do what would you hold on to
Where would you go when nothing to lose
Would you change who would you love would you
Do it all the same if I tell you is your last day
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Last day your last day
Last day your last day
Last day your last day
What would you say what would you do what would you hold on to
Where would you go when nothing to lose
Would you change who would you love would you
Do it all the same if I tell you is your last day
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
There's a world inside my head
waiting for the lights to change
waiting for the sky to fall
I shoulda known by now
There's a moment of peace that comes
always when the time is wrong
Always waiting for a sign
it shoulda shown by now
But you said not to wait
time moves on
only when you leaving
Forever just a moment in time
walking away
now that it's over
Never seems to come in the night
to take it away
and you won't feel safe till it's time and time again
There's a moment of peace that comes
always when the time is wrong
The world is waiting for a sign
it shoulda shown by now
But you said not to wait
time moves on
only when you leaving
Forever just a moment in time
walking away
now that it's over
Never seems to come in the night
to take it away
and you won't feel safe till it's time and time again
no, no
but you said not to wait
time moves on
only when you leaving
forever just a moment in time
walking away
now that it's over
never seems to come in the night
to take it away
and you won't feel safe till it's time and time again
there's a world inside my head
waiting for the lights to change
waiting for the sky to fall
now there's no more
now there's no more
now there's no more
no more
no more
letting go
now there's no more
now there's no more
If only for the moment now the moments gone
You swear you watched the best things fade away
You stole yourself from insecure to make it right
And never planned on ending up this way
But doesn’t it just kill you
To know they’re coming back again
Chorus
What would you do
If the weight of the world
Was keeping you grounded
I could be the highest point of any sky
And I can tell you’re dealing with the pain
And nothings changed but maybe just the most in us
I never planned on ending things this way
But doesn’t it just kill you
To know they’re coming back around
Chorus
All the strength that you found in this world
Couldn’t save you I could save you
Did you figure out there’s something more
Than finding yourself on the ground
Can you make it past what you ignore
All the things they love
Everything is random
Everyone is fake
Everything we built will just disintegrate
No-one will remember
Would anybody care
If everything around us just disappeared
But don’t let them change your mind
I’m trying to save you now
(chorus)
We all fall down
When it’s over now
We won’t be broken now
We all fall down
Said you’d never leave me
It’s like you’re never there
Moments that we wasted turned into years
Take a look around you
Nothings ever fair
The reasons that they change you turned into fear
But don’t let them change your mind
I’m trying to save you now
(chorus)
In need of a change, the need of the light
The moment was wrong, when no-one is right
I know that someday you’ll turn your back to me
I know that someday you won’t be there for me
You can’t watch the clouds roll by this time
You don’t wanna be so blind you’re fine
But I’m miles above your head
Life lies in shattered dreams always, always
Chorus
You’re not waving but drowning it all
You don’t care where your pieces will fall
They wait for silence
When they’re leaving you there
You can’t find your piece of mind with lies
But you’ve never been so blind you’re fine
I’m no where to be found
Life lies in shattered dreams always, always
Chorus
Open your eyes to a brighter way of dreaming
Relax the moments are kept locked inside
Hold me now as day turns into evening
Here comes the night
All their words and all their lies
I need to find a safer place to hide
(chorus)
And it feels useless
Stop me from making the same mistakes as you
Yours are the smiles that make this world worth keeping
Only the ones we remember fade in time
All their words and all their lies
I need to find a safer place to hide
(chorus)
And it feels useless
And it feels, it feels brand new
And it feels, my god it feels so useless
Stop me from making the same mistakes as you
All their words and all their lies
I need to find a safer place to hide
When it’s raining she says jesus is crying
The whole world is dead
When it feels like the world is crashing around you
You cannot sit still
Mindless encounters with people who save
But never remember your name
We push through with chemicals riding the scenes
To an empty apartment
It’s not what it’s meant to be
Living in fear
When no-one remembers your name
Chorus
Turn around
Breaking the silence with sound
Pushing through walls of a crowd
Making their way to the sound
When all of the world is left in the silence
There’s nothing we fear
Except for the memories retired from age
And no-one remembers your name
When it’s raining she says jesus is crying
There’s a world inside my head
Waiting for the lights to change
Waiting for the sky to fall
I should’ve known by now
There’s a moment of peace that comes
Always when the time is wrong
I’m always waiting for a sign
That should’ve shown by now
You said not to wait, time moves on
Only when you’re leaving
Chorus
Forever’s just a moment in time, walking away
Now that it’s over
It never seems to come in the night, to take it away
And we won’t feel safe till it’s time and time again
There’s a moment of peace that comes
Always when the time is wrong
The world is waiting for a sign
That should’ve shown by now
You said not to wait, time moves on
Only when you’re leaving
It all seems so pointless to say
When words are just walking away
You’re making this up as you go
Holding my dreams to make them your own
It’s not supposed to happen this way
A head full of thought needs a break
From all these mistakes that we made
Spreading myself to thin
Chorus
But I never found the words
Words that you can see
Words that could keep you with me
And I know you may find this hard to believe
Somehow wherever you are
We just need to find some escape
When the best thing is walking away
But I’m holding you up as you go
Taken my dreams and made them your own
It’s not supposed to happen this way
When everyone here needs a break
From countless mistakes that we made
Spreading myself to thin
Chorus
All your lies
All your smiles
All your friends are driving me wild
All your days
All your nights
All of those things that we learn to despise
If we breathe in the night
Hold it inside
The colors won’t change with the blink of an eye
If we just find a way to believe
Well I will rise
the morning comes
nothing ever stays the same
I saw it written on your own face
You're not supposed to be the best of them
you never ever could
you're just supposed to stay the same
And I could live this that
for the most part
you were waiting on a change in a cold heart
And I remember you like you wanted
40 dollars before the day is gone
somebody told me something
nobody cared to tell you the truth
You never found a reason
Caught in a lie and it's all that you're used to
(living a lie)
Well I will rise
the morning comes
nothing ever stays the same
I saw it written all over your...
you're not supposed to stay around for this
you're not supposed to change
you're just supposed to go away
And I can live without
for the most part
you were waiting on a change, but a cold heart
won't remember you like you wanted
40 dollars before the day is gone
somebody told me something
(somebody told me...)
nobody cared to tell you the truth
You never found a reason
Caught in a lie and it's all that you're used to
(living a lie)
Living a lie!!!
somebody told you something
nobody cared to tell you the truth
You never found a reason
Caught in a lie and it's all that you're used to
somebody told you something
(somebody told me...)
nobody cared to tell you the truth
You never found a reason
Caught in a lie and it's all that you're used to
(living a lie)
Living a lie!!!
(Drowning in lies)
It used to be the only way to help her make it through
the day
She’s tuning in and turning off to every single word
you say
I used to be the kind of man to take you by the hand
and show you how to feel
I’m fallen down drunk again there’s nothing left to say
to you
Chorus
There’s nothing left to say
So go on
The sun is gone there’s nothing left to light the way
it’s blinding me
A war is waged in front of you and everybody turns to
If I could find the words to make you understand the
way that I feel
I’m fallen down drunk again there’s nothing left to say
to you
Chorus
If I could find the words to make you understand the
way that I feel
I’m fallen down drunk again there’s nothing left to say
to you
Chorus
Morning saves another night
From ripping me apart at the seams
But if I could change the world
I’d take away the moments that made me believe
My Little Secret Lyrics
I hope she doesn’t see
The lipstick stain on the edge of the wineglass
Hope that she can’t see it
In my eyes
I hope she doesn’t notice
I’ve come home late every night this week
Trying to keep it together
It’s getting harder and harder each time
To keep this hidden away
I’m running out of things I can say
And I can’t sleep from thinking about you
And I can’t tell lies from the truth
And I can’t hide you like this for very much longer
And I don’t know which way to run
And I feel myself coming undone
And I don’t know how much longer I can keep it
My little secret
I hope she doesn’t notice
This look on my face from thinking about you
Stories are getting harder for me to tell
And each time I try
To take one step away
I find myself crashing back into you
Taking this chance that I know now I shouldn’t be taking
And I can’t sleep from thinking about you
And I can’t tell lies from the truth
And I can’t hide you like this for very much longer
And I don’t know which way to run
And I feel myself coming undone
And I don’t know how much longer I can keep it
My secret
Know that there will come a day
When it all comes falling down
I just can’t walk away
I find myself crashing back into you taking this chance and I
Can’t sleep from thinking about you
And I can’t tell lies from the truth
And I can’t hide you like this very much longer
And I can’t sleep from thinking about you
And I can’t tell lies from the truth
And I can’t hide you like this for very much longer
And I don’t know which way to run
And I feel myself coming undone
And I don’t know how much longer I can keep it
My little secret
My little secret
Wait it out till the light
Take a breathe, say good night
But don't ever go away
Wait around to find the time
Only you can take what's mine
But don't ever go away
I'll be waiting', I need to let it go
Fade it out into the light
All these years we never get it right
I need to let it go
No more reasons to defy
That I believed that you were mine
I need to let it go
A chance to change or stay the same
One night with out the blame
That don't ever go away
Only you can make it right
To walk away with out a fight
But don't ever go away
I'll be waiting, I need to let it go
Fade it out into the light
All these years we never get it right
I need to let it go
No more reasons to defy
That I believed that you were mine
I need to let it go
She always seems to throw away
Everything you feel inside
Away into the night she rides, she hides her lies
If she learns to sing a different song
Everyone just goes along
But they always seem to fade away now
All we need, all we see now
Chorus
She’s falling asleep, I’m falling apart
From the words that she speaks, cuts right through my
heart
Don’t make this harder than it needs to be
For sleep won’t come, until I’m free
We never seem to recognize
Faces that we hold inside
But they never seem to fade away now
All we need, is all we see now
Chorus
I can’t be there waiting
It makes me so nervous
Anxious and low
Chorus
Wake up
You never took so long
You’ve never been so right
To see through all their smiles
You’re a stone
You’ve never been let down
And no-one comes around
To seethe within your lies
Say no more
Chorus
Just wait
In a moment I’ll be gone
With the weight you’ve held so long
In the morning I’ll be gone
Can you find your way back home again
So real
You never took the time
You never made things right
And nothing satisfies
In your mind
It’s never quite the same
You feel but share no pain
Through all your wasted miles
Say no more
You won’t have to sleep in the beds that you made,
You won’t have to live in your dreams now.
You won’t have to wait for the silent parade,
You won’t have to feel so apart now.
You won’t have to love just for the sake,
You won’t have to play in the game now.
It’s never enough just to be remembered,
It’s always the look on the faces.
No one will waste this moment,
Cuz I won’t live forever.
But I done waitin’ on a soul to save me
If I wait too long it might take forever
To find my way back home
You never wasted a breath on me to tell me you were leavin’
Now you’re gone
You won’t have to feel like another mistake
You won’t have to make an excuse now
It’s never enough just to be remembered,
It’s always the look on the faces.
No one will waste this moment,
Cuz I won’t live forever.
But I done waitin on a soul to save me
But if I way too long in my train forever
To find my way back home
You never wasted a breath on me to tell me you were leavin’
Now you’re gone,
Now you’re gone.
No one will waste this moment,
No one will waste this moment
But I tried waiting on a soul to save me
But if I wait too long it might take forever
To find my way back home
You never wasted a breath on me to tell me you were leaving,
To tell me you were leaving,
Ghost Lyrics
I’m taking scissors to all of the pictures of us
I’m cutting you out but it won’t be enough
It’s never enough
You’re still walking through my memories
I’ll never solve this mystery
I lie awake with echoes and whispers of you
I’m still haunted by you
And I can’t let you go if you’ve already gone
Can’t bring you life, it’s been way too long
Can’t move on, just can’t stop...
With the ghost of you in my heart
I see your face, I keep hearing your voice
Holding my breath and remembering every choice
I made a choice
Now you’ve taken all the life from me
Living ancient history
I lie awake with echoes and whispers of you
I’m still haunted by you
And I can’t let you go if you’ve already gone
Can’t bring you life, it’s been way too long
Can’t move on, just can’t stop...
With the ghost of you
The walls are closing in, I...
Just want this to end, I...
Thought you would leave me by now
But here you are again
I’m taking scissors to all of the pictures of us
I’m cutting you out but it won’t be enough
It’s never enough
I can’t let you go if you’ve already gone
Can’t bring you life, it’s been way too long
Can’t move on, just can’t stop...
No, I can’t let you go if you’ve already gone
Can’t bring you life, it’s been way too long
I Can’t move on, just can’t stop...
Fourteen shades to summer nights
We were shadowed by your light
Cause you and I were never faithful
I’ll hold you up so you can fall
You never seemed to care at all
Cause you and I were never faithful
Don’t count me out
You’ve waited now
This needs to be the way the sun will fade
Chorus
I needed to feel this way
But scars outlast the pain
And nothing seems to stay the same
And you were never made that way
When all of this seems real, just not today
Sober thoughts begin to call
Those who waited for your fall
No-one needs to feel that helpless
But don’t count me out
You’ve waited now
This needs to be the day the sun will fade
Chorus
The more we change our lives
With the feelings left inside
That just won’t go away
Can you tell me where to go, it’s killing me and no one knows,
Inside with all this mind, we waste the sunlight waiting for the night
They don’t wanna break me down; they don’t wanna break away from you
Everything’s wrong now, everyone’s gone now,
I can’t keep lying to myself
Cuz everything’s clear now they disappear now
Cuz they don’t wanna stay with you
Can you tell me where to go its killing me and no one knows,
Inside with all this mind, you waste the sunlight waiting for the night
They don’t wanna break me down; they don’t wanna break away from you
Everything’s wrong now, everyone’s gone now,
I can’t keep lying to myself
Cuz everything’s clear now, they disappear now
Cuz they don’t wanna stay,
I shouldn’t be waiting for this life
Maybe another dream won’t die
They can’t be the first and be the last to break away
They don’t wanna break me down; they don’t wanna break away from you
Everything’s wrong now, everyone’s gone now,
I can’t keep lying to myself
Cuz everything’s clear now they disappear now
Cuz they don’t want to stay with you
Everything’s wrong now, everyone’s gone now,
I can’t keep lying to myself
Cuz everything’s clear, now they disappear now
It seems you've waited most your life to come down
With all these feelings so close around you
And they blame you, blame you again
And it seems I failed you more times than life allows
I'll break the pieces down you build them back somehow
And still they blame you, blame you again
They won't be sure this time
And when they need you, they won't believe you
With the stars so bright
They burn straight through the night
And I never felt so clear now without you in me
Insecure from all these endings
And I failed you and they blame you again
They won't be sure this time
And when they need you, they won't believe you
With the stars so bright
They burn straight through the night
And when they need you, they won't believe you
With the stars so bright
We drove straight through the night
And when they need you, they won't believe you
With the stars so bright
They burn straight through the night
And when they need you, they won't believe you
With the stars so bright
They burn straight through the night
You're a beautiful wreck now you're out of control
Crossing the double lines
You're a perfect disaster, the road to catastrophe
Don't stop for the signs
Heartbreak waiting to happen
Headlights cut through the rain
Tears hit the windshield and I can't look away
Every mile gets you further away from the past
Feels like you're shattered and covered in broken glass
And I'll be here the next time that you crash
Time turns to rust and it's hard for you to trust
Every turn every shoulder you feel
But I'm right here when it's just too much
You can let me take the wheel
Heartbreak waiting to happen
Every mile gets you further away from the past
Feels like you're shattered and covered in broken glass
And I'll be here the next time that you crash
Yeah, I'll be here the next time that you crash
I'm right here in front of you
Just ask and I'll hold your breath in my hands
And I'll save you when you crash, when you crash
Every mile gets you further away from the past
Feels like you're shattered and covered in broken glass
Losing control, can't you see that you're running too fast?
And I'll be here the next time
I need you here with me
Don't take this too far now
Your eyes seem so lonely inside you
Feel like you've lost your mind
Could have been the champagne, the champagne
Could have been the cocaine, the cocaine
Could have been the way you looked at me
That told me we were through
Could have been a bad day, a bad day
Could have been the real way, the real way
Could have been the way you looked at me
That told me we were through, through
And I miss you all day now, I'm screaming inside out
Don't tempt me 'cause I'll break you, I don't need this
And I'll burn this whole thing down
Could have been the champagne, the champagne
Could have been the cocaine, the cocaine
Could have been the way you looked at me
That told me we were through
Could have been a bad day, a bad day
Could have been the real way, the real way
Could have been the way you looked at me
That told me we were through
Through, we were through
I wish you would take from me everything I cannot be
With eyes so blind you cannot see that I won't ever leave
Well, could have been the champagne, the champagne
Could have been the cocaine, the cocaine
Could have been the way you looked at me
That told me we were through
Could have been a bad day, a bad day
Could have been the real way, the real way
Could have been the way you looked at me
That told me we were through
Through, we were through and I need you
Did it make you wonder who you are and where you might come from?
Does it seem to have it's way?
Would it make it any easier to know that there's a truth?
Would we just keep things this way?
She's been crying for a lot of things that she can't fit about
It was a mental break down
Something happened
You're not home
I've got to find you
Look behind you
Consider this
And one last time they say is all it takes to make it
through the day
One last time to get things right
We could never open up this way and hold this key to life
For our eyes is much to bright
I've been standing for a lot of things
but now I can't figure out
It was a mental break down
Something happened
You're not home
I've got to find you
look behind you
consider this
she's been crying for a lot of things
that she cant fit about
i've been standing for a lot of things
i can't figure out
it was a mental break down
something happened
you're not home
but you're never home
i've got to find you
look behind you
consider this
You said we would always be alike, then everything just changed in the
blink of an eye, and I could never leave like there was anything left to
leave behind.
You were right there and I was lonely and I couldn't let you down
Someday
you'll say there's always been a part of me feeling like my heart is so far
away, searching for a part of me looking for somebody to blame.
You said you'd always be around, then you leave it all out on the line,
and I tear it all down just to watch you change what you know is right.
You were right there and I was lonely and I couldn't let you down
Someday you'll say there's always been a part of me feeling like my heart
is so far away, searching for a part of me looking for somebody to blame.
I need you to hear, everything I wanted to say.
Someday you'll say there's always been a part of me feeling like my heart
is so far away, searching for a part of me looking for somebody to blame,
somebody to blame, searching for a part of me looking for somebody to
When everything comes back around and leaves you lying on the ground alone
When the pictures fade but not the face and no one's there to take your place
Just don't be shy
Go ahead and try to change when everything in life is not so beautiful
Go ahead and try to rearrange when everyone that shines is not so beautiful
They won't hold you, and I can't let you go
We're saving lives in symmetry when you come crawling back to me
But we're failing as the chemicals change your mind and leave you
Just don't be shy
Go ahead and try to change when everything in life is not so beautiful
Go ahead and try to rearrange when everyone that shines is not so beautiful
They won't hold you, and I can't let you go
They watched you fall to pieces the only thing that kept you holding on this long
They tried so hard to leave you never cared enough to say this, "someone save her!"
Go ahead and try to change when everything in life is not so beautiful
Go ahead and try to rearrange when everyone that shines is not so beautiful
They won't hold you, and I can't let you go
Save her!
Someone save her!
Someone save her!
In a world that fades away
I need to be awake
I need to see the sunrise in this picture perfect day
When everything’s a mess
And no-one here makes perfect sense of this
But this won’t go away
Chorus
No more, cause when it’s over
She can’t be real to me
We lived a thousand lies
And shared a thousand smiles
I need to be the part of this that just won’t be denied
When everyone’s a mess
And no-one here makes perfect sense of this
But this won’t go away
Chorus
She left me waiting, falling from grace
She swore this time would not be erased
I tried, but it won’t go away
Chorus
There was a time when I could not believe
All the things you sold to me
When it’s only you, and only me
But it’s over
And I need to feel this life again
Take away my world
These sidewalks, this silence
It's all around me
This chaos, so quiet
But I feel it rising
Don't close your eyes
Don't be scared tonight
Change is coming
Stand up and hold your ground
Face the ending
We'll burn this whole world down
Build a new beginning now
Been waiting for this moment
We'll leave our memories
The past is like poison
This fire is all we need
Stand up and hold your ground
Face the ending
We'll burn this whole world down
Build a new beginning now
This fire keeps getting closer
Draw the line we're crossing over
We'll burn this whole world down
Washed up, strung out
Living in a black out
World spinning out of control
Face down, messed up
Never gonna be enough
Just another part of the show
You finally fall away
The lights are fading
You wear it on your face
The cracks are breaking
Where's your celebrity now
Cause we're so lost without you
Where's your celebrity now
So out of control
A million lights can change a life
Or how far you'd go
Careful what you wish for
You just might get it
Bright light, burn out
Villains with a hand out
Selling every inch of your soul
Fake life, fake town
Tired of the let down
The chemicals are starting to show
The lines they fall away
The fall is never ending
You wear it on your face
The cracks are breaking
You used to make this for me
(Pete):
The world's at the tip of your touch
So clutch that mouse in from your home
Roaming alone, just you and your portable phone
Can surf the world of mass production, it's like seduction
Being enticed by flashy lights and a thousand and one functions
And that something? To drive a disk that won't miss
With precise right info
Sports, or news reports, or chat with an overseas nympho
Advanced technology means progressed ecology (it ain't crack)
Fools is hooked on IBM, AT&T; and it's cool
It all happened sitting at a desk, and I'll bet
The freaks won't come out at night, they too busy workin' the internet
For real, might as well pay Packard Bell
Too many crosswires, frequently your frequency's a living hell
In a nutshell, the ways of pushing buttons came far
Got computers warning me, ‘don't get to close to that car'
Computers asking ‘leave a message, cuz nobody's at home'
Computers sequencing beats, so we can grab the microphone
So plug in, information dumping past human assumption
But I mean, man made machine, that should tell you something
Pumping computerized versus manual health
People outta work, families hurt after cards is dealt
And like I said, you can keep in tune from your living room
Satellite scatter, big brother, ear hustles, chitter chatter
Chorus:
Shooby doo wop, shoo doo bop...I wanna love you
In a nutshell, the ways of pushing button came far
(Computerized....I wanna love you)
Got computers warning me, ‘don't get to close to this car'
(Compterized...I wanna love you)
Computers asking ‘leave a message, cuz nobody's at home'
(Computerized...I wanna love you)
Computers sequencing beats so I can rock the microphone
(Computerized...I wanna love you)
(N8 The Gr8):
Caught up in this worldwide web; user friendly
E-mail me, I check ‘em on the daily
My connections, verifications with other nations
In certain sections, evaluations by quotations
Yahoo! Ride ‘em now boy, clear your cache
Doing two hundred and eighty three styles per hour
Down the information highway
Central location sideways
Navigating, escape for the internet mindwaves
Browsing, over a thousand heads I could be housin'
Corrupted styles, stackin' up micro files
Mental drug entail, expirimental thugs could sell
Think straight, passwords, over bills, Monopoly game and go to jail
No unread messages, yes I guess it is
Nobody beats the music biz, like them indie kids
Illegal operation, system crash
Drive hard like C's and my colon backslash
Spin your address cuz I hack fast jackass
Always hot box, windows up, skip the skat past
The motherboard fingerbanger
Angered Americans online, wrong time, right place
Resignated to the second chamber
????? save as filename
Style game retreat, no escape, Alt/Ctrl/Delete
CHORUS
(Crush):
IBM-ARC at the party to start to spark
We hardly impart all emcees that were ripped apart
Try to focus on providing for the future
Enter your brain, then re-boot ‘cha
Get rid of what pollutes ya, troubleshoot ya
Just to let you know what you should change
What's going wrong, also what you need to rearrange
And download it in a dumpster, trash it
Don't ask, it's something that we do, and never present it with wackness
Attack this track like a virus through ya back
It's not strong enough to combat this
The fact is your sloppy and your lip's floppy
You see me doin' things, knowin' ain't a human being can stop me
Poetry programmer and thought technician
Making people wanna listen without commercial intermission
Hip-hop is my plight, that's why I write
To minimize manipulation of megabytes
Then let you in my memory bank
If you remember when rank first to disperse with a verse
We stemming from the dirt
Skipped earth and hit space (what?)
Moved the paddle right
You see, we came to keep it bouncin' like a satellite
And after that, look, get caught up on a hook
Better yet, you can catch a lot more in a net
So DJ's, B-Boys, and all microphonists
(N8 the GR8)
California Capital mix
The Adolf Wilson House and tricks
You wanna close shop on Hip-Hop
With some bullshit politics (follow me now see, see I be Rockin)
Even though they plotting block what I'm talking
Ain't no stomping Dropin on tracks
for the 16 Hip-Hop fiend since "Billie Jean"
And when the message had meaning
But now (echoes) theres too much anxiety
It's like a socialist Activist
Up in the Capitalist society and where I'm living
Thats a prefect example of this Institution
And the constitution plus the preamble
It's tricky but not like DMC it's trick tricky
The ways of this community
Now I ain't lookin for the cities support
I know you gotta pick-up K Street and fix up Sutters Fort
since 1849; the Golden State's greedy
and Mr.Wilson hates Chicano's and condemns grafitti
Sacramento Symphony got cut back even starvin
Artist struggling the Ssreets of Sac barely alive breathing
Even our so called homeless I hate fuck it
It's like crabs in a bucket in the chain we should be above it in
[Chorus]
(scratching in the background)
Sacramento 4x
[Crush]
You could gimmie a S simply cause I
Slay's the slur's I plays with words
I announcing verbs with those Intervibing
Gimmie a A cause I attack acrobatically
Methodically modulating adversaries is mad at me
Gimmie a C cause I control
continue to create chronicles for your body and soul
I need a R for being ready to regulate
Ready to demonstrate staying steady
I'm collecting feddy in another way
I need another A since I was young I heard my mother say
"Always achieve," now I believe
I need a M mostly for Motivation
Im making my music my main mental vocation
Gimmie a E for excellent execution experience
Entertaining expert getting loose
And then a N now cause I got news Notorious
Niggas known nationally we giving others news
And then a T right now for tuff beats thoughts
I think tend to Get treated like tasty treats
And then a O for overcomming obsticles
Overtaking opponents we put them in hospitals in
[chorus 4x]
Uh..uh trying to figure If I should rap at all
about the capital of cali the cover up under hate
Long waits stuck in the valley but we strong
Like radar doppler topple over I know your Washingtons like Rover
And I could barely get a penny
For my thoughts though I taught my town plenty
Yet and still since the intent to resent me
Since the cafe I let it be known
I got way too much love for my city
Whats my city got for me no Divey
Just some bullshit shows and some turned out parties
If I sound angry when you see me
Bustin that shit you wrote recently and passed me
with one of them 4 track underground dimey cause thats whats in me
The Sacramento stay core the rich to 2 for to 48 but thats a gimmie
Dummies take my tapes and make some mummies you coud hear em
Get structure like a pyramid, fucked ya when ya weary
Water in the hog thick like sackfog pass me a dollar if ya hear me
[chorus 4x]
Too many politicians, businessmen, policemen
On some anti-us mission
We're lockin the subs the best solution
Can't hustle tapes without getting hassled by somebody
Hand out flyers and get harrassed by somebody
In Sac Town if your creative that's a crime
And they got it locked down so you can mentally do the time
And you could say who why dont ya but that would be a pity
but there would be no more Hip-Hop in River City
(Bro RJ):
Man, fuck this job
Take this muthafucka and shove it
I make money-money, but not enough of it
With an above average salary, but that's before taxes
Once I get the little check I'm back in the poverty bracket
"Let me get my jacket" I asked these fools I carpooled with
Stupid, don't get caught in traffic again, you cruisin'
They blow one before we get there, blow blunts at lunch
Sometimes when I'm at work, I don't work, I just sit there
With a big glare, picture myself a millionaire
Grillin' my secrataries
(I ain't here...hey Rob, hold my calls)
(Hey, get up! No sleepin' on the job!)
Damn, I dozed off, the last night my company had her clothes off
(Hey, wanna work some overtime?)
Naw boss, ain't no benefits in it, cuz I don't claim no dependants
(You fired!) Before I even got to finish my sentance
Then I got offended cuz he interupt me abruptly
I but-but-but my ass, seeing my last pay, and I'm that-a-way
Chorus:
Man, fuck this job
Take this muthafucka and shove it
I make money-money, but not enough of it
(Pete):
Everytime it's job related
Eight hours seems stagnated
Doin' someone else's chores, gettin' paid, but I can't take it
Man I fake it, and I don't think I make it (why not?)
Mainly cuz I'm unfocused and my only hope is lunch breaks
Shit, I should quit, tell ‘em stick it where they crap
Matter of fact, let me get up in this bathroom to take a nap
Never did I have a job that I was serious in, or curious in
Every single one I wound up furious in
I can't help it, I once felt it
Now I feel it's wasted energy
I need to spend the day doing something that will better me
Not busing tables, washing dishes, pumping gas
And fuck lifting boxes, chopping wood, busting ass
Not moving up the ladder or taking the time to do it right
No patience for other business relations at the job site
Man, I'm tired of this place, every day going through it
You can get somebody else for this shit, even a monkey can do it
CHORUS
(Pete):
They want you highly programmable
Ain't nothing tangible about no nigga
Overstand the whole picture
Corporations support foreing affairs
Think they care you got your degree and want to start your career?
Ghetto bastard with your bachelors
Now what's the password?
Go back and get your masters and own your own slaves
Used to look at the teeth, now they peep the resume
And then peep up in me, and I'm to good to say
"Partna, I need this job badly like a muthafucka, I can't fake it"
But 20 g's a year? Man, make it 30 and I'll take it
Hey can I get the vacation package? Where all the perks?
"Partna, don't push your probation, back to your work station"
[spoken]:
Shit basically every single job I ever had I can say fuck that job
(Well then why you worked here?)
It ain't meaned shit, I just mighta needed it at the time
For something that I had to do, or something I had to pay
Or some kind of rent or some kind of bills I had to pay
(Yeah, I can feel that too)
It don't mean shit (Yeah, it don't mean shit)
I can waste every cent of every dollar I ever had on some bullshit
(I feel you, man ay, fuck these muthafuckas man
It's like we gotta enterprise our own shit
And just mass market it, yaknowwhati'msayin?
Yaknowwhati'msayin? We doin' this shit
Ay, fuck this job
And you know why?
Cuz I was laid, and they still didn't give me my vacation pay
Sei quel freddo vento che ti trascina via
Scura come il buio di cui mi taglier?
Vivi in una triste straordinaria bugia
Che non so pi? smettere di nascondere
Come un lungo abbaglio resti negli occhi miei
Scivoli ed oscilli sola ed instabile
Sei la cruda scossa che provare vorrei
Voglio ricordarmi la tua velocit?
Che sia violenta amica mia la notte scivola via sei quello che vorrei
Che sia distratta amica mia la notte ? pura follia che non ricorderai
Morbida inquietudine, non so stare senza te
Che sia violenta amica mia la notte scivola via sei quello che vorrei
[Verse 1]
To see your face, to hear your voice
And oh, to touch you is a dream come true
So I'm standing here, with my hand held out
Knowing that your love will never fade, I stand amazed without a doubt
[Chorus]
And I wanna hear your voice, in the morning when I rise
I think I know I'm just a normal man, only made of sand except when you're by my side
Will you love me, teach me, don't leave me I pray
And when I, and I'm thinking of the times
Your hands in mine, together we will stay
You made me better today
Better than I was before
And now my heart can rest and I will search no more
You made me better today, today, today
[Verse 2]
My heart has wings
Oh you take me away
And every prayer I've ever prayed was answered today
So I'm standfing here, with my hand held out

Your hands in mine, together we will stay
You made me better today
Better than I was before
And now my heart can rest and I will search no more
You made me better today

I stand proclaimed, true love is here to stay
I stand proclaimed, forever starts today
Today...
You made me better today
Than I was before
And now my heart can rest and I will search no more
Cuz you made me better today, than I was before
And now my heart can rest
And I will search no more
You made me better today
Today...

Dude: You ready?
Kef: Yeah yeah
Dude: Alright, we're rollin'
Kef: If you show me something precious,
I will show you someone blue,
and we'll calculate what drives me straight to you
The fascination kindled like a spark becomes a flame,
and then the fire thickens,
and my heart quickens,
every measure I hear your name
Evangeline
Evangeline
Well can you feature an adorable creature
more appealing than this world has ever seen?
Evangeline
Evangeline
Her face made equal to the minature features
of a hand-made porcelain figurine
Dude: Did you just say "porcelain figurine?"
Kef: Well, yeah. There's only a handful of words you
can rhyme with- y'know what? Just don't worry about it.
Dude: Right.
Kef: If I ever fall abandoned on a desert made in blue,
I would only wish to spend each day with you
Essential artless charm from which impossible to wean
It only amplifies those lips those eyes and every
freckle that's in between
Evangeline
Evangeline
Far more beauty in a single view than on the pages of a
fashion magazine
Evangeline
Evangeline
Can you feature an adorable creature more appealing
than this world has ever seen?
Evangeline
And you know I'll never forget you
Until I have you in my arms
Dude: Uh Dude, she's gonna think you're a stalker...
Kef: I'm trying to do a solo here
Dude: Yeah but I mean, you should think about how this
is gonna be perceived because I mean, it's a little...
Crazy you know?
I recognize and risk absurdity to call your name this
but I fear there might not be another way
Effortless sparkle shines around the angel in your
name,
and if I never laid my eyes on you I know I wouldn't be
the same
Evangeline
Evangeline
Far more beauty in a single view than on the pages of a
fashion magazine
Evangeline
Evangeline
To spend an hour in the grip of your power could make
any other moment seem as though it were routine
Evangeline
Evangeline
If I imagine any kind of beauty pageant you are making
all adjacent competition look obscene
Evangeline
Evangeline
How could I ever fabricate another woman as my lover
when no other one I'd rather here to be
Evangeline
Dude: (laughs) You are such a jackass!
Kef: Yeah, okay, you don't have to-
Dude: (singing) Evangeliiiiiine!
Kef: Alright that's enou-
Dude: (singing) I love yooou!!
Kef: Alright, fine!
Here's a story about a girl called joshie
we met her on the bathroom floor
and maybe it was half past thirty
and maybe i don't know she always
wore a smile with her best dress
she only sits there wanting more she
said that she'd be back today
coro:
i'll give it all up to you i've given all
into you the same old story again and
then i'll do it again and if it's all i can
do we can start over again and if it's
all gonna end i know we'll see us again
a life that always seems so boring a
life that seems to go unknown well if
it's better late than early we'll never
ever know we're running low on love
and affection we always sit there
wanting more and maybe we'll just
never know
coro:
i'll give it all up to you...
i guess it started back when i was
nine way back when beer was only
five ninety-nine we had it all we had
our dinners with wine we had lice
we had mice we had flee ridden beds
but we were so careless always
happy and free we had it all we had
our coconut tree and anytime if ever
we'd disagree we were nice and
polite when we'd pee us our beds
coro:
i'll give it all up to you i've given all
into you the same old story again and
then i'll do it again and if it's all i can
do we can start over again and if it's
all gonna end i know we'll see us again
I played the fool all this time
You played your part so well
I didn't know I was the audience for you
But now I've read the script
And now I know the scene
You had me going one way
But I've learned from my mistakes
What's left to say
We're not the same
You''ve planned your future
A future to nowhere
I tried to listen to you
But the words you chose to say
Didn't match up with your actions
I was foolish to believe
That you were in this together
As I pulled ahead
You stopped to listen to the lies
Don't waste my time
Your plastic words mean nothing to me
You gave up all we had
To live a lie that you believed
Your audience is gone now
So time to try a new town
To play more people
And to write them off like us
I tried to tell you what is real
But now you've turned your back
On the only thing that ever told the truth
You won't listen to reason
You're so blinded by what you don't understand
And now you have turned your back on us
I turned a blind eye to you
I regret I ever knew you
Just know that you have been replaced
And now you can
Don't waste my time
Your plastic words mean nothing to me
You gave up all we had
