I'm all ready.
Come on
Take me
Through it all...
Please lay down -
You're eternal
I'll never forget you...
For as long as we live
And forever after,
I will remember
You are eternal...
So don't let them
See you bleed or cry
And don't let up-
You'd leave us cold...
You're eternal
I'll never forget you...
For as long as we live
And forever after,
I will remember
You are eternal...
So, don't cry. (No, don't cry...)
For as long as we live and forever after,
Did I wear you out?
Were you overwhelmed?
Were you dead all along?
Can you open up...
Just enough
To heal yourself and start again?
Well, I'm sorry...
I won't be there... I won't be there...
We've changed.
It's not the same anymore...
You drag me down.
Over and over... Over and over,
Again...
When I wrapped you up
In plastic, take you home...
I loved you more than
I'd ever loved anyone...
But it hurts too much
To think about today,
I never should have
Let you see me
Lying here this way...
We've changed.
It's not the same anymore...
You drag me down
Over and over... Over and over,
Again...
Peace can look like a riot sometimes
But I'm clean inside and starting over.
We can't hold on... we can't hold on...
Surrender to my limitations
Fall back and hide away
Waiting for you,
Still breathing each breath for you...
Each breath I take, I take for you.
But sometimes I feel like I'm dying
Cold and shaking, holding on...
Waiting for you,
Still breathing each breath for you...
My future seems so full of life
And brighter now than it has ever been,
But somehow I just can't allow
My shell to crack
And let the sun shine in...
Today I feel so sick
Today I feel comfortable with this
If I should die before you
I'll always be around to guide you
In your center you'll find me
And in the sky as a star still shining
But if If i can't pick myself back up
Just enough to see above the haze
My family buries the middle son
The church bells ring,
They don't know what to say...
They don't say anything at all...
The silence takes control of me
There's violence in my circuitry
And one day I won't feel so sick
Your knees are bruised up.
You don't even know what you're worshipping.
Outside the sun rises in the silence of another suicide scene.
There's nothing sacred here, no, nothing's left clean.
Say it! Say it!
I know what you're thinking now,
you're blowing your smoke in my face,
you just need a little taste of it.
Say it! Say it! It's all in the script in L.A. -
I don't even know your name, but you want everything...
Somebody's kissing me like it means everything
and somewhere someone's shaking my hand in the back seat of a limousine.
Now who can I trust? These new friends are so dangerous.
Say it! Say it!
I know what you're thinking now,
you're blowing your smoke in my face,
you just need a little taste of it.
Say it! Say it! It's all in the script in L.A. -
I don't even know your name, but you want everything -
They don't love you, never give your heart away.
They don't love you; they'll just take your heart away...

I met the Devil in Poughkeepsie, New York.
He took a seat right beside me at the end of the bar.
He said I looked familiar, had we met sometime before?
Yeah, I drank with the Devil in Poughkeepsie, New York.
And I confessed I hadn't prayed to God since nineteen-eighty-eight,
he said, "oh kid, you should try again you know, before it's too late."
I asked him where my soul would go if I just dropped dead today,
he smiled and said
"Oh, you've got some good friends waiting for you at the gates."
Hallelujah! O', Hallelujah! He said,
"Just say the word and I'll give you fame and fancy whores,
or would you rather die a simple man, just honest and poor?"
I said,
"Well now I know who my real friends are and I can't ask for much more."
I thanked the Devil for my drinks and made my way for the door.
I found these plastic parts and wires
Let's split me open at the seams
And rip out everything inside
Make room for all these new machines
Sew me up, pray that i survive
A brand new me
Piece by piece
Stay here and watch me bleed
It's a brand new me, piece by piece
I'll leave a black tear in the sky
To help remember what you've seen
And I'll set this place on fire
Just break and burn down everything
I'm made of plastic parts and wires now
I wont feel anything
Stay here and watch me bleed
It's a brand new me, piece by piece
My flesh, my bones, my blood
They hold my hate, my love
They hold my hate, my pain...
Just take a breath and walk away
Stay here and watch me bleed
Instrumental
You said your hope was lost
My eyes were stinging hot
The first of the tears to fall hurts the worst of all
I had it all planned out, what I was going to say
But then that lump in my throat stole my words away
Darling, if nothing else, I know that this is true
I'd have nobody if I don't have you.
But you said your hope was lost
My eyes were stinging hot
The first of the tears to fall...
Have you given too much away?
Are you giving us up?
Did the going get tough this time?
Don't give up on us
I said, "look at the map on the wall,
put your fingers on where we are,
no matter where I go we're just an inch apart."
You interrupted and said, "not that old speech again!
If we're just an inch apart, then reach out and grab my hand."
I know that this is true, at least it used to be,
you'd have nobody if you don't have me...
And didn't we say forever?
Didn't I promise you?
Didn't we say forever?
Darling don't
We didn't come this far just to throw it all away
When It's all burning... when it's over...
When it's all said and done,
Were we ever even alive?
This keeps repeating in my head-
We should prepare for the worst...
When it's all burning... will we see clearly?
Will we suffer at all?
Oh, it'll be perfect - running scared...
This keeps repeating in my head-
We should prepare for the worst...
The sky is falling - people running scared...
This could be better for the world.
When it's all said and done,
Who will remember you?
When it's all coming down,
Who will remember me?
This keeps repeating in my head-
We should prepare for the worst...
The sky is falling - people running scared...
This could be better for the world.
This keeps repeating in my head-
Hold me until my head is clear again.
Cross off the names
Of all who died here,
And I'll become the sacred faith you lost.
I'm thinking...
Every second changes everything
In my life.
Every second changes everything -
The panic will see me through.
Naked, exposed our only fears tonight.
Scratches, vomit, I'm sleeping here again,
And I will
Wake up with a purpose,
I will be free -
I'm thinking...
Every second changes everything in my life
Every second changes everything -
The panic will see me through.
I think of all the shit you said,
You made me hate myself again.
Then you say you're sorry...
I can't take this anymore.
You were wrong
And I was right by your side...
Every second changes everything
In my life...
Every second changes everything -
The panic will see me through.
Every second changes everything
Nothing to lose is a path you can choose and it feels just right at the time.
Then one day you awake with a fear you can't shake,
you're an actor forgetting your lines.
You were a star when you started,
so bright eyed and ready but now you just can't seem to shine.
Nothing to lose is a path that you choose and it feels just right at the time.
But can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young.
There are constants like gravity, heartbreak and shame,
you can never out-run them,
they're part of your name like lessons you learn from a past you can't change,
stay young, stay young for a lifetime of paying dues and ruthless reviews,
yeah it's hard not to end up a cynic
when everyone's too scared to walk in your shoes
but can work up the nerve to be critics.
Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young - no, don't lose you heart.
Don't lose your soul. Don't give up control.
It's the business end of a loaded gun, facing tomorrows of black,
useless lungs with nothing but lies left on tips of our tongues,
stay young, stay young! Oh can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids
trying to keep up our innocence in this fucked up world?
I am on the brink of losing everything
Hanging on the edge of every word she says
And you were never there
You were never there
She stabs deep into me
Am I too blind to see what this has done to me?
She stabs deep into me
Am I too numb to feel this anymore?
You were the one who could save me
You were the one who abandoned me
I am patiently waiting here to see
Which of us survives when all of this collides with reality
She stabs deep into me
Am I too blind to see what this has done to me?
She stabs deep into me
Am I too numb to feel this anymore?
You were never there
You were never there
You were never there
You were never
She stabs deep into me
Am I too blind to see what this has done to me?
She stabs deep into me
Am I too numb to feel this anymore?
You were never there
You were never there
You were never there
The room fills up with water and the roar of the crowd died down, they didn't hold their
breath, they just waited to drown.
Now I'm just the ghost in the corner that nobody knows. I'm just the chill in the air that
comes and cuts you to the bone.
I've never seen it shine so bright here before.
I stumble blind into the light of it all.
The walls of this city are all cold metal and stone, but we're nothing permanent we're just
soft skin and bones.
I'm just the pins and needles attacking your toes.
I'm just a mesage you saved in your phone a long, long time ago where I'm singing how I've
never seen it shine so bright before.
I stumbled blind into the light, the light of it all.
You've never seen it shine, so hard before-
You'd crumble underneath the weight, the weight of it all.
I'm always with you.
I am on the brink of losing everything
Hanging on the edge of every word she says
And you were never there
You were never there
She stabs deep into me
Am I too blind to see what this has done to me
She stabs deep into me
Am I too numb to feel this anymore
You were the one who could save me
You were the one who abandoned me
I am patiently waiting here to see
Which of us survives
When all of this collides with reality
She stabs deep into me
Am I too blind to see what this has done to me
She stabs deep into me
Am I too numb to feel this anymore
I cured you once... you will live...
But you can't lead yourself on your own...
What did you hope to see inside
(everything?)
What can we fit between the lines?
(You owe me)
We can run but we can't hide...
And I trust you to wait
'Til I chase you away
You'll come back and settle this,
You can do no wrong...
You're looking a lot like
Mother Mary -
Yeah, you talk a lot... like Christ.
You taste so much like God to me now...
You feel so much like silk.
(Feel so much like silk...)
But I trust you to wait
(you can't turn around.
I need you too much for this)
'Til I chase you away
You'll come back and settle this
You can do no wrong...
In my eyes you can do no wrong...
In my eyes you can do no wrong...
In my eyes you can do no wrong...
(In my eyes,
You can do no wrong...)
You're just like silk.
I'd kill you first, Guilty One -
This is hurt... Push it through,
Guide me -
Push it through,
You probably wish you were
Anywhere but here...
Remember this now 'cos it soon will disappear
You'll find yourself wishing
You're anyone but you.
I'm starting to wish I were
Anyone but me.
And I will be broken by this...
As soon as you wake you will
Find me on my way.
And soon when it's safe you may
Find a love again.
And I will be broken by this
Sweet dream
But it's all I have.
Seems that it, oh it
Always bleeds like this
When nothing's wrong
But nothing feels right
You're knocked down and dying,
You'll stand right back up
And you'll fall all alone...
All in this...
Sweet dream
It's all I have
A sweet dream
It's all I have
It's the finest moment that you've ever had.
Like a fallen star in the palm of your hand.
A sweet dream
It's all I have
A sweet dream
I am just a needle in your arm.
I am just the skin around a scar.
I am like a pill to help you heal.
I was only trying
To make you feel something.
I will
Breathe fire,
Never stop to think about myself.
I'll just keep holding on
To everything for everybody else...
You wasted every chance you ever had.
So when did you give up
And grow so sad?
You know that I can't push the world aside.
If only I could stop and
Turn back time
I would...
You are watching the fall of an empire!
Send the soldiers home!
And as the flags come down
A new king is crowned.
Woke up on a beach.
I stared at the blue...
And I watched the waves
Come and
You said your hope was lost. My eyes were stinging hot.
The first of the tears to fall hurts the worst of all.
I had it all planned out, what I was going to say.
But then that lump in my throat stole my words away.
Darling, if nothing else, I know that this is true;
I'd have nobody if I don't have you.
But you said your hope was lost, my eyes were stinging hot,
the first of the tears to fall...
Have you given too much away?
Are you giving us up?
Did the going get tough this time?
Don't give up on us.
I said, "look at the map on the wall, put your fingers on where we are,
no matter where I go we're just an inch apart."
You interrupted and said, "not that old speech again! -
If we're just an inch apart, then reach out and grab my hand." -
Have you given too much away?
Are you giving us up?
Did the going get tough this time?
Don't give up on us, don't give up...
I know that this is true, at least it used to be,
you'd have nobody if you don't have me...
And didn't we say forever?
Didn't I promise you?
Didn't we say forever?
Darling don't... darling, don't.
We didn't come this far just to throw it all away.
Have you given too much, Darling?
Are you giving us up?
Did the going get tough this time?
It's the start of a bright new day as the light finds its way
through the curtains at the end of my night.
I'm alive in a city of dead people rising for work...
And as they ride through the cycle, the machine revving up,
I feel a little suicidal, just not high enough to jump.
Oh who am I kidding now?
My plan to die young, somehow is just a memory now.
It's daylight in the city, "just hold me,"
she said, "it's been a long night in the city, just hold me, hold me..."
I had an old friend who said I should run
like today is the last of my sick, sorry little life.
As I stared into my own eyes in the mirror by my bed,
that's when I realized nobody ever told me that, I'm just afraid of dying.
I felt you come to life on my fingertips.
I mixed your blood with mine, wanted to feel like this forever.
I've got nothing left to lose but my memories of you
and there's no better cure for me than this coma therapy.
You whispered in my ear like a bomb going off.
What the Hell are we doing here? Is this all we've got?
I've got nothing left to lose but my memories of you
and there's no better cure for me than this coma therapy,
O' Say, can you see? By the dawn's early light -
we get 'em young, give 'em guns and ship 'em off to fight.
While the rocket's red glare is keeping everyone scared they say,
"just relax -
put your trust in me and you can sit back and watch the war on your screen."
The country's run by lunatics, they're picking up their pens,
writing themselves into Revelation, "this is how it's gonna end!" -
Well, I tried hard to bite my tongue,
like a good American but they recruited my little brother
and they're shipping off my friends.
Broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
you know those who stand to gain are not the ones who sacrifice -
watching bombs burst in air from a comfortable chair, they just say,
"in God we trust, and God trusts in greed,
yeah as long as they never show real blood on TV." -
I'm not sorry if this makes you mad, in fact I hope this wakes you up -
'Cause you'll never see what's going on with your eyes so tightly shut!
There are too many unanswered questions,
from the towers in New York to the lies leading up
to another corporate sponsored war -
Well I'll support the troops by asking what they're really fighting for -
and I think that's more patriotic than flying a flag from my front porch.
Come on, let's go out and start a fight!
'Cause you know two wrongs always make a right.
Come on, let's go out and start a fight!
She draws the costume correct in thick, black and red eyeliner.
She's too young for the club but the guys at the door don't mind her.
The boys are all lining up for their chance to wine and dine her.
She thinks she's working the scene,
but she's caught up in a web full of spiders (and all the drinks they buy her)
She don't like cocaine, baby just likes how it smells says maybe you can drive me home if you
want.
Then you wake up beside her saying "baby I think you should leave..."
- She had a really rough night, she got too high, now she can't breathe
and if the ambulance comes you know they're gonna bring the police,
so you wrap her up tight, put her to sleep beneath a willow tree
and your hands are clean...
She don't like cocaine, baby just likes how it smells says maybe you can drive me home if you
want.
So go out and have your fun tonight,
you might as well go out and raise your glass to life.
Go out and have your fun tonight,
you might as well go out and raise your drinks to life,
'cause we're all going to Hell...
And so now we can see how easily we become hopelessly tangled up
in the very webs we've spun.
So give me one last line and I promise you I'm done -
I've got enough wood and nails here I've collected through the years
to build a few sturdy walls to keep us safe from all my fears.
My insecurities are promises I was born to keep;
you know I live just to die for my beliefs.
Well, I believe in myself and I believe in you,
if it's the last thing we both do, let's take a good, deep breath - remember this...
Love is life, this love is my life... and in you I have all I need...
I think we could stretch this out forever,
like a blanket in the sand and we could learn a couple dances,
we'll do them hand in hand until we end and even after -
'cause death can't tear apart these two hearts sewn together,
meant to be this from the start.
In sickness and health and all that we've been through,
if it's the last thing we both do, let's take a good, deep breath - remember this...
Love is life. This love is my life... Love is a long way to fall...
.All my heroes, they let me down
'Cause they're not the same no more
All my hereos they let me down
And I'm no the same no more
When I said I prayed I'd die before you
I meant in front of
Back to ruin, back to ruin
Disappointment came to me
Disappointment came to mean
