Outside the rain falls
Outside the wind blows
This stormy weather
Got me down again
I can’t find my way home
Had too much to drink
This feeling inside
Got me down again
But there’s a star above
And it shines down on me
Oh, there’s a star above
And it shines on me
All over town
City lights are blinking
My head is spinning
‘round and ‘round again
But there’s a star above
And it shines down on me
Oh, there’s a star above
And it shines on me
Outside the rain falls
Outside the wind blows
I can’t stand this feeling any longer
How long must I wait in despair
Will these walls one day crumble down
And let your love seep into my life
I’ve been holding on to this dream so long
I’ve been holding on to this dream too long
I can’t stand this pain any longer
Your mystery is now tearing me apart
Will you one day shine your light on me
Or even lie ‘cause I’m running out of faith
I’ve been holding on to this dream so long
I’ve been holding on to this dream too long
Whisper to me
Words from a fairy tale
Whisper to me
Lies from a fairy tale
I can’t stand this feeling any longer
Your mystery is now tearing me apart
Whisper to me
A quick look at the clock it's almost midnight
A sip of wine, another cigarette
I drink and I smoke a little too much
But who are you to say for sure
My phone is off the hook and the lights are out
I'm walking barefoot on the hardwood floor
A quick look out my bedroom window
I just want to be left alone
Oh, you make me want to
Sing softly to the moon
Oh, you make me want to
Sing softly to the moon
My head is spinning but my mind is straight
I'm looking at some old photographs
The radio's muttering an old jazz tune
Is that how you felt that night
That night in Amsterdam
Oh, you make me want to
Sing softly to the moon
Oh, you make me want to
You’ve got sleep in your eyes
A feather on your shoulder, you look so sweet
You stretch your back
You rub your eyes
The Sunday paper’s got nothing on you
Your coffee cup
Is steaming ‘round your fingers as you close your eyes
Your hair is a mess
Like the world outside
The Sunday paper’s got nothing on you
Later we’ll go
For a drink or two
Somewhere downtown
Soon you will go
Like you always do
My fair weather friend
My fair weather friend
The reflection of the light
Against your skin looks so pure
You breathe so softly
Through your lips so tender
The Sunday paper’s got nothing on you
Your coffee cup
Is steaming ‘round your fingers as you open your eyes
You look at me
Just for a moment
You saw room number 5
Lit by a deep orange glow
Like headlights hit the fog
On a yellow striped road
Someday you will meet again
Make it that cheap motel
On a lost highway
With fog in your eyes
You kissed his lips
For what you thought was the last time
Heart to heart, soul to soul
Someday you will meet again
Make it that cheap motel
On a lost highway
Your eyes turned so black with mascara
Smothering your cheeks
‘cause your head is full of dead stars
Useless dreams and sad hopes
Someday you will meet again
Make it that cheap motel
On a lost highway
He’s not your salvation, he’s not your savior
You'll have to look elsewhere
Get out of town, get out of yourself
Before the night becomes tomorrow
Someday you will meet again
Make it that cheap motel
On a lost highway
Stop pretending that our love is real
Stop pretending that I’m no one else but yours
’cause you’ve got miles and miles to run
Before you reach my heart
Yes, you’ve got miles and miles to run
Before you reach my heart
Delirious, I feel lost and delirious
And if your love is real, I can’t seem to feel the same
You’ve got miles and miles to run
Before you reach my heart
Yes, you’ve got miles and miles to run
Before you reach my heart
The distance between us is getting longer
And I feel so ashamed to be afraid
I can’t seem to reconcile
All my fears with all your wishes
And the distance‘s getting longer
Cars go by
I close my eyes
The sound of your voice
Rises so high
The night stands still
Nothing seems real
Except for the pain
We both feel
Teardrops fall, together we cry (3x)
It’s time to say goodbye
Every lie
We used to deny
Has taken control
Over you and I
But now we know
We can no longer hide
The time has come
Black birds fall down
And we ride on this road
The city from afar
Has turned into dust
Some things to remember
Some things to forget
The sweet taste of your love
The bitter taste of my tears
On this road now we ride
Away from this madness
Away from these black birds
Who seem to know my name
Who seem to be calling out my name
The radio is playing
An old country song
It Reminds me how lonesome I was
So lonesome that I’d cry
On this road now we ride
Away from this madness
Away from these black birds
Who seem to know my name
Who seem to be calling out my name
Echoes of my sorrow
Will keep me driving ‘til dawn
A quick look at your eyes
A deep blue sky
On this road now we ride
The days grow darker with my desire
Since you’ve left for Barcelona
Out of bloom and into the blue
Barcelona you must now surrender
Because nobody can save me
Nobody can save me but you
And I’ve tried so many days
And I’ve cried so many hours
When will you realize
That your star won’t ever shine
Without me…
My weary heart is now hanging by a thread
And all the flowers forgot to bloom
Out of bloom and into the blue
Dead dark black clouds are now coming down
Oh nobody can save me
Nobody can save me but you
And I’ve tried so many days
And I’ve cried so many hours
When will you realize
That your star won’t ever shine
Oh Barcelona
You must surrender
Oh Barcelona
You stole my love
The days grow darker with my desire
Since you’ve left for Barcelona
Out of bloom and into the blue
Tompkins Square Park, in a cardboard box
He’s sleeping in the rain
He never knew that these city walls
Would bring him so much fame
This was just the early days
Of what would then become
A quick killing in art (3x)
New York City, Paris and Rome
The shooting star is on his way
The money was plenty, the people were many
The candle burning fast
This was just the early days
Of what would then become
A quick killing in art (3x)
His mind was set free by his lonesome addiction
That flowed down through his blood
The poison was strong, took his heart by storm
Like he took the world
This was just the early days
Of what would then become
A quick killing in art (3x)
Damn it all to hell
I lost the map
From last time that I took this trip
And I forgot just where I fell
And now I can just never tell
Where it is I stand
I lost myself from the first time that I took you in
And you forgot how hard you fell
And now you’re just starting to sell your self short of
Mistakes that I never wanted you to make
You’ve become what they crave
Wolves will eat your skin
If you let them in
You’re a child in the corner
So I’m setting up some borders
To keep in my sanity
I’m escaping from your fantasy
Here I go again
I find me standing
In the same place just where I began
Never knowing up from down
Only that I’ll hit the ground
Damn it wheres my head?
I find me fast awake laying in my bed
And even in my sleep
I’m grinding at my teeth
So what’s the point?
So prove your point
Just like the current
Of the ocean
Pulling ourselves back and forth
A compass that has no direction
Never knowing what is north
I need to be
The remedy
Before it’s just too late
I’m wondering
If theres a cure
And how much we’ll have to take
I never wanted to be this lonely
I never thought about what was at stake
You never thought about molding yourself
Yeah I’ve got some demons
That I’ve gotta cast out
And there’s a preacher standing beside me
Looking at me with his doubt
because I know when I go
to meet my fate
I’ll be staring down God
at the pearly gates
and when he sees me
will He see me?
cause I’ve made some bad decisions
I’ve made some grim mistakes
and all I’m asking
and all I’m praying
is to bless me with your grace
Cause I’ve been waiting on a dream
I’ve been waiting for something more
I’ve been waiting on a seamless ending
Yeah I need an angel
To stop me from going down
Don’t wanna be stuck underground
cause when the devil’s on your shoulder
you learn as you get older
whispers in your ear
the things you want to hear
and even though you know it’s not a cure
you’ll say “keep em coming” more and more
I was young
I didn’t have a care
Thought I’d get out of here
Oh, how wrong I was
I didn’t have a care
and now I’m stuck in here
Now I’m stuck in this nightmare
That I can’t wake up
Every day is just another rut
I’m stuck in here
Don't forget what you know.
A man told me, I should be counting my blessings.
To wrap my head around
Everything that I've got.
But I'm a pessimist at best,
My vision's blinded by the rest
Of what I've lost. Oh I'm so lost.
This is where we are,
And all the things I've seen
That's got me here thus far.
So don't tell me I'm sinking.
I'll keep my head above the bay.
I will drown another day.
And when the skies roll out the darkest days,
I will shout and I will say,
You've made a grave but I won't lay.
Oh there's no way.
No I'm not dying, no I'm not dying today.
You better shape up
Or you're bound to ship out.
My father told me "Son, it's time to figure your life
out"
But I'm resisting from arrest,
I know there's more to me than this
I swear I know, but what do I know?
Cause' I've got something more.
Oh you're not gonna win.
My back is stronger and it's not gonna bend.
Oh you're not gonna win.
You're never gonna make me fall down again.
Stand up for something worth fighting for!
We're not going down without a fight!
Stand up!
You're never gonna take us alive!
Well excuse me while I catch my breath,
I never thought that this could happen.
I would've guessed that our own death
would have come from our own actions.
Oh the urgency.
The emergency.
Oh my God, look at what's become.
It's them or us or it's over, it's them or us my
brother.
God, look at what they've done.
It's them or us or it's over, it's them or us my
brother.
Pardon me while I begin to process this information.
Tyrants reigning from the sky,
destroying all our nations.
"Where is your God now?"
They said to "Bow down"
I guess it's time for us to rise up and raise arms!
Nowhere to run to,
no point in hiding.
Our existence has been misguided.
Now we must try to defend all our lives.
[Telle Smith:]
It's now or never stand up for something worth fighting
for.
We're not going down without a fight
Stand up!
There goes another one
I never wanted it to be this way
But you know that I'll never change
And I will always stay the same
Red lips pushing all across my fingertips
My hands on your back they begin to grip
And I will always stay the same I'll never change
Well baby it's a curse that I'm damned
To forever hold the hand
Of lust and greed, it's too tempting for me
And that's all I'll let you know
For right now
Your sweet skin I feel you shaking as you pull me in
I lock the door and then we begin
And you're all I want for now
But don't mistake me
I don't want to be your everything
You should know that you're just a routine
And you're all I want for now
Well baby it's a curse that I'm damned
To forever hold the hand
Of lust and greed, it's too tempting for me
And that's all I'll let you know
For right now
I'll keep you tongue tied
So the words won't have to fail you
I'll keep your lips locked
So the words won't have to leave your mouth
I never wanted it to be this way
I thought that I could change
Well baby it's a curse that I'm damned
To forever hold the hand
Of lust and greed, it's too tempting for me
And that's all I'll let you know
Well baby it's a curse that I'm damned
To forever hold the hand
Of lust and greed, it's too tempting for me
And that's all I'll let you know
Yeah I've got some demons
That I've gotta cast out
And there's a preacher standing beside me
Looking at me with his doubt
because I know when I go
to meet my fate
I'll be staring down God
at the pearly gates
and when he sees me
will He see me?
cause I've made some bad decisions
I've made some grim mistakes
and all I'm asking
and all I'm praying
is to bless me with your grace
Cause I've been waiting on a dream
I've been waiting for something more
I've been waiting on a seamless ending
Yeah I need an angel
To stop me from going down
Don't wanna be stuck underground
cause when the devil's on your shoulder
you learn as you get older

you'll say “keep em coming” more and more
I was young
I didn't have a care
Thought I'd get out of here
Oh, how wrong I was
I didn't have a care
and now I'm stuck in here
Now I'm stuck in this nightmare
That I can't wake up
Every day is just another rut
I'm stuck in here
I've been staring at my reflection
I've lost all perception
who have I become?
cause I don't wanna be
another part of their
machines
it's hard to breathe
sucking the life out of me
what does it mean
when everything you see
becomes what you believe?
this is the reckoning
no it's not what it seems
I'm not who I thought I'd be
this will be the end of me
no it's not what I dreamed
I'm not who I thought I'd be
I'm so lost stuck in my transition
and I can't get a grip on
the person I've become
cause I've lost sight of me
force fed with words that they preach
I've been deceived
corrupted by their greed
just let me be, be the change you wanna see
just set me free
just set me free
(set me free)
do you feel like you're in control?
[Chris Roetter:]
Sacrificed enough
I found the meaning in the walls built up
and for the first time I see clearly
We were born to die
but not before we're given the chance to survive
This is the reckoning
no it's not what it seems
I can feel your heart as it's racing
It's me rearranging
And all the times that you said you'd stay with me
I should've known that you'd just get up and leave
I kept myself bound to a cancer that only ate up my
soul
and all the years in that I gave her only did singe my
skin with holes
cigarette burns to my brain are the last impression
that you gave
and it's a shame that your only claim to fame is that
you're listed with my name
I can feel your heart as it's racing
It's me rearranging
And all the times that you said you'd stay with me
I should've known that you'd just get up and leave
So now it's me that I'm changing, I'm not going to take
C'mon and taste this, go on get wasted
You're using me so I'll burn away
The truth I found out keeps me up all night, it's not
right, it's not right.
Go back where you belong
So get back on your knees
Get back on your knees
like you've always done
So we can never be a couple hun,
Fuck love, all I've got for you is two fingers pointed
And it's been long enough
and still I have to bite my tongue
and the days and the weeks and the months pass by
I can't get you off my mind
I'll keep this inside
but that's okay
and I say
I want you to be my girl
want you to be my world
even if it means that
I can't have you by my side
just want you in my life
I've been waiting by the minute
every precious little second
try to wrap my head around that I'll never get it
contemplating if it's the right time to let you know
you're stuck in my thoughts so let's make a deal
I'll keep my lips locked if you promise it's real
and if he treats you right
then I'm fine
I'm waiting for you
(speechless, I wanted to call out your name,
I stopped in fear that things would change)
I swear if you knew
then I know it wouldn't be the same
I'm waiting for you
(speechless but I'm alright, alright)
I swear if you knew
There was once a time
when I knew what I was made of
yeah I had some veins they'd pump blood
but then I realized that it's easier to be less alive
and I've replaced my mind with some kind of machine
dead inside
I like it better when I'm made of bolts
no human flesh could withstand the threshold
I recommend advice to all my friends
you'll never have to be alone again
I like it better when you're made of skin
there's no way I'd be caught dead in that again
cause being real and having heart is something that I
failed at from the start
so I took my time, started slow
carefully removing
appendages, all the parts that broke
and I was willfully replacing them with metal parts
cause it's easier without a heart
and with iron lungs, I can breath after all the deeds
you've done
replace my heart with a machine
I left my body in the street
so none of you can ever hurt me, hurt me
repair my head so I can think
about the way you treated me
so none of you can ever hurt me
And I'm as empty as they come
a remnant of a ship that once sailed
never ever finding shore
welcomed the water in and then I begged for more
I feel nothing, I don't wanna feel a damn thing
A ghost of who I used to be
Forever haunting halls only to remind you of me
No matter how you spin this, I keep looking for myself
In the dark with no lantern, the only flames I found
were hell
Whoa
Torturing myself
Whoa
Looking to find
Whoa
A little bit of remedy, remember when you were mine?
You were mine
You know that you kill me, in every way
Whoa
I gave up everything. Is wrong to want you to stay?
I've got nothing left to give
You took advantage of me when I just took you in
and now I'm standing alone and I can finally see
You're the fucking enemy!
Please I'm begging you
I'm begging you to stay
The love, the lies, the sex, the pain
And I crept through your head
Just to settle the score
Thought you were done but you wanted more
The satisfaction that I'll get my mind
Is knowing that you couldn't ever really leave me behind
Payback is always best served cold,
I took a page from your book just to torture your soul
Payback is always best served cold,
So take a step back and watch your fate unfold
Cause I don't wanna stop control
And I don't wanna loose my hold
You'll never find a way, never find a way,
You wont escape the mess you've made
Cause I don't wanna stop control
And I don't wanna loose my hold
You'll never get away, never getaway,
From the choices that you've made
Whoa, look into my eyes
Can't you see the damage done
Where will you run when you have no one left to love?
You don't know the person you are
What you have done
I'll make my mark
Come to me, in your time of need.
When you're all alone, and there's no one to run to.
Come to me, in your time of need.
And I walked a thin line
Just get away from me, get away from me
And I can not define
The meaning of what I did this time
I'm nothing but an endless joke
And everything goes up in smoke
I'm dancing with the devil
I'm broken in pieces
A sad excuse for a man
Hope that you can understand
The guilt I've felt inside
Eats me alive
It eats me alive!
Sometimes the worst faults are the ones we make
Once you've made the mistake
Temptation blurs the things I wanna say
Myself got the best of me
You can be the judge
Juror, executioner
I deserve a sentence
To fuel all your vengeance
And it's full remorse for what I have done
If I'm locked away
Don't forget there's two sides to the story
If I'm condemned to a cell
To sit with my sins in hell
Then you better take notice
To the only notion
If I'm in here, she should be as well
Sometimes the worst faults are the ones we make
Once you've made the mistake
Temptation blurs the things I wanna say
Myself got the best of me
Can't you see
That it's not what I wanted
These streets are still haunted
You see, can't you see
That it's not what i wanted
Myself got the best of me
I could point a finger, but you'd cut it off
I could tell you outright it'd still be my fault
Can't you see, can't you see
That you mean more to me
When I say I'm sorry
I know that I'm wrong
I wanna say more
But I'll keep my mouth shut
Can't you see, can't you see
I tend to think about the worst of outcomes
What you feel is fake what you feel is fake
My mind makes up so many problems
Just get over it
You just don't get it cause my past is haunting
And I'm obsessed with all kinds of ugly
Looked down on by society
Does anyone get me
To be heard is all that I want
Like a message in a bottle
Will I ever be caught?
When is it enough
Whoa
What's wrong with me?
Am I over reacting?
No-oh there has to be
A consequence for me
It's a fact that I'm going crazy
Searching for solitude just to getaway
Do we deserve to live this way?
Constantly ridiculed by those that say
We are the outcasts
Cause we, we are the outcasts, yeah!
Whoa
What's wrong with me?
Am I over reacting?
No-oh there has to be
A consequence for me
And I'm afraid that I just won't fit in
It's a battle that I've always had within
No-oh there has to be
A consequence for me
Sometimes, I can't help feeling like I'm the one in the
wrong
So lost, I can't find my place in this crowded room
But I, I know in the end I'm not alone
Yo hit em with the high and the low
quickly always escaping me
making it hard to breath
as you're moving through my mind
I need to talk to you
I need to know you
and words can not describe
you're paralyzing
it's hypnotizing
the way you move
and I can't get enough
so captivating
it drives me crazy
you're what I need
and I cant get enough
won't you take
me away to a better place
where my hearts
skips a beat
when I see your face
so take me, take me
and rearrange me
got me feeling high and low
so won't you take me, take me
and rearrange me
got me feeling high and low
so take me away
You're finally staring at me
your eyes on mine
time is standing still
for you and I
[Tyler Carter:]
You're paralyzing
and hypnotizing
The sight of you
I can't get enough
oh, baby I'm thinking of you
and I know I got you thinking of me too
but I'm all choked up
so I guess it's safe to say I'm blue
take me away to a better place
Where my heart skips a beat
when I see your face
so take me, take me
and rearrange me
got me feeling high and low
so won't you take me, take me
and rearrange me
got me feeling high and low
so take me away
take me away
In one moment, I'm goin' all the way
I make my poetry everyday
And I'm frozen, comin' right on time
I froze my mind with that serious rhyme
And I'm open, comin' up inside you
Know my mind has got a grand design
And I'm flowin, goin' all the way
I make my point to be everyday, come on!
And I wanna take you down
But your soul cannot be found
Doesn't matter much, you see
'Cause your disease is killin' me
And you know it's only right
'Cause it feels like paradise
And I know nothin' is for free
'Cause your disease is killin' me
My mind's broken, I'm goin' up in smoke
If you breathe my toke, I'm guaranteein' you choke
And I'm chosen to testify to the masses
Wear dark glasses like the cops in Texas
All-knowing, it's not a premonition
Kill the competition like a man on a mission
I'm blowin, comin' up inside
Like the Bee Gees' cry, I'm just stayin alive, come on!
And I wanna take you down
But your soul cannot be found
Doesn't matter much, you see
'Cause your disease is killin' me
And you know it's only right
'Cause it feels like paradise
And I know nothin' is for free
'Cause your disease is killin' me
So now I'm finally going down
Can I find my way back home?
Now there's no one else around
Can I find my way back home?
Will I ever see the light
Even though I'm fallin'?
(Will there ever be any peace for me?)
Even though I'm fallin'
(Will there ever be any peace for me?)
Even though I'm fallin'
(Will there ever be any peace for me?)
And I wanna take you down
But your soul cannot be found
Doesn't matter much, you see
'Cause your disease is killin' me
And you know it's only right
'Cause it feels like paradise
And I know nothin' is for free
'Cause your disease is killin' me
And I wanna take you down
But your soul cannot be found
Doesn't matter much, you see
'Cause your disease is killin' me
And you know it's only right
'Cause it feels like paradise
And I know nothin' is for free
