Oh the violets were scenting the woods, Nora
Displaying their charm to the bee
When I first said I loved only you, Nora
And you said you loved only me
The chestnut blooms gleamed through the glade, Nora
A robin sang loud from a tree
When I first said I loved only you, Nora
And you said you loved only me
The golden-robed daffodils shone, Nora
And danced in the breeze on the lea
When I first said I loved only you, Nora
And you said you loved only me
The trees, birds and bees sang a song, Nora
Of happier transports to be
When I first said I loved only you, Nora
And you said you loved only me
Our dreams they have never come true, Nora
Our hopes they were never to be
Since I first said I loved only you, Nora
And you said you loved only me
Since I first said I loved only you, Nora
nora nora
send your body down
its nice to see you dead again downtown
thanks for comming around
its nice to fuck the dead again downtown
i found her dead in the alley trash downtown when i was ten
if i had her now i would do it all again
i named her nora, drug her home, and she made me a man
fuck you all
I went to see my grandma today
I learned the difference between
Living and alive
Wall to wall roaches in a two by four infested room
Lying there in pain
Praying for the Lord to take her
Nora - I hope it won't be too long for you
Nora - All these years you've been so strong
Nora - I hope you don't mind if I call you Nora
I love you
After leaving her, I turned my life around
I see new life differently
Through the vision of the old
Oh, material things don't mean that muich to me
I guess I learned that I'm just
Glad to be alive and healthy
Nora - All this time that you have known me
Nora - It took your whole life just to show me
Nora - How we take some things for granted
Nora, Nora, Nora, I love you
And though I know there wasn't long to go
Time was something that we shared
And when you died I didn't cry for long
Cause I believe I'll see you again
Nora - I'll see you on the other side
Nora - I'll be the one with swallowed pride
Nora - Are you sure you don't mind if I call you
Nora, Nora, I love you, I love you, I love you
You're standing on my throat.
I can feel your foot crushing my throat.
I'm breathing through my eyes,
and they're fixed dead on you.
You're standing on my throat.
I can feel your foot crushing my throat.
I'm breathing through my eyes,
and they're fixed dead on you.
I see everything you do,
I see every move you make,
I see everything you do,
I see every move you make.
Things you do, move you make,
things you do, move you make.
Thought you had me cornered in my room,
thought you had me, took all my reasons.
Thought you had me, good as dead.
I'm not dead yet, I know a secret,
I'm not dead yet, I know a secret.
As you killed her,
Jeanette told me a secret,
I got it all figured out now,
this time it's my turn.
I'm coming for you.
I'm not dead yet,
I'm not even fucking close,
I'm not dead yet,
not even fucking close.
I'm just watching,
I'm just watching,
just watching,
let up for a second
and I'll tear your fucking throat out.
You hear it.
You feel it.
You pin it to your fucking heart like the rest of us.
You hear it.
You feel it.
You pin it to your heart and you keep moving.
We're not going to save the world.
We're just learning how to live.
We're not going to save the world.
We're just learning how to breathe.
Breathe it in.
(As long as it's something, we're more than nothing.
It just might get us through.)
We can learn to breathe the smoke,
And we can set the fires.
It's in a thousand different places;
I heard it in a thousand different songs.
You hear it.
You feel it.
You pin it to your fucking heart like the rest of us.
You hear it.
You feel it.
You pin it to your heart and keep moving.
I remember these roads with different voices,
Singing different songs.
Different faces and different places,
Setting the same fires.
This is how we burn.
(This is) for the travelers.
Running out of reasons to try.
Running out of things to say.
Running out of smiles to fake.
Running out of ways to lie.
Running out of reasons.
What the fuck am I going to do?
This is my life.
What the fuck am I going to do?
Too busy to hit bottom.
I don't have time to burn out.
I live to toe the line so bring it on.
I'm not interested in conciliation.
I don't have time for sympathy,
And I hate surprises.
If this is it then let me know.
If it's gonna get worse I can take it...try me.
It's the best that I've got.
Make it enough.
It's the best that you'll get.
Make it enough.
I don't have time to hit bottom.
It takes too long to climb back out.
I don't have time.
Bring it.
I wonder how much is to much,
what will it take to bring me to my knees?
I wonder how much is to much,
what will it take to bring me on my knees?
I'm trying so hard, as the days get longer
and my eyes are dragged to the floor.
As the day get longer my eyes are dragged down,
through this eternal..
I walk alone.
I've traveled thousands of miles in my mind,
just to watch it all crumble down.
We spend our lives,
our lives learning things no one ever showed us.
We spend our lives learning things...
We spend our time, our time learning,
we spend our time leaning things your way.
No one ever showed us what to do,
no one ever showed us what to do,
no one ever showed us what to do.
Fuck you, i'll do it alone.
Last chance kids, it's time to rock
It's time to move, it's time to live
Last chance kids, before we're old
Before we're tired, before we give
I can dodge bullets and get up from any beating
I can be whatever I want when I grow up
If this is the last time we play the last song
Will you remember how you moved?
If this is the first time you heard a new song
Will you feel it, feel the burn?
Will you remember how you danced
and how you felt and what it was like to matter?
Will you remember what it was like?
Before we got old, before we got tired
Before we gave in?
Last chance kids, it's time to rock
It's time to move, it's time to live
Last chance kids
Before we're old, before we're tired
Before we give, last chance
My problem is I can see it.
My problem is I have seen it.
Look what it's done to me.
Watching what it's done to you.
13 hours at a time, or 9-5.
We're in this for our lives.
13 hours at a time.
Are you alive?
Are you a lie?
What about standing up?
What about fighting for your life?
What about standing up?
What're you going to do when the good guys lose?
Day after day you're on your back.
A slave so long,
You've lost track 13 hours at a time, or 9-5.
We're in this for our lives.
13 hours at a time.
Are you afraid?
Afraid to try?
Are you alive?
Are you a lie?
You're a lie.
This is a fight.
Do what's right.
This is a fight to stay alive.
This is a fight for our lives.
This is a fight.
I got a bone to pick with you
and I'm gonna pull it out of your ribs
You're not all you're cracked up to be
and I'm not big enough to walk away
You be the bigger man
We won't stay down
because we're knocking down your door
We're burning down your house
I've got a gun to your head
and I'm asking do you wanna live?
Is this how you wanted it?
What's behind my eyes?
What's behind my skin?
Can you see in?
What's behind the barrel
I'm holding to your head?
I've got whatever it takes
and you came up wanting, get up
This is a love song, it's a sing-along
I wrote it just for you
How long is your list?
Mine's about to get shorter
You look cold and you look tired
You look cold and beaten
You look cold, spent, and broken
You look cold, you look like me
Isn't it hard to look outside
with these eyes that won't stay closed?
Ever wonder why they gave us eyes?
Ever wonder what keeps us alive?
Why can't this be good enough?
Maybe we could stop the blood
Heal the wounds and make the best of it
I can't find the instructions
I never learned how to fly
Woke up today with a hole in my soul
I never learned how to die
Manufactured hope and postcards?
Pretty pictures of a better place (or is this it?)
Can we make the best of it?
what am I standing here wearing?
what am I sitting here watching?
what happened to let this happen?
we're just trying to be ourselves,
to be yourselves. [but] someone I,
I let you die.
someone I, I didn't try.
scorn reigns deep in the soul without recognition.
sweatshops.
bankers.
politicians.
all murderers.
so deeply ingrained, so simply accepted,
but still (unconscious) reality that kills.
and we're just trying to be better than that.
to get to tomorrow, and maybe someday,
my waking up and living won't have any effect on you.
I swear I'm trying.
and I let them... and you them...and we let them... kill you.
writers€™ block,
I can€™t start.
what do I say at the end of another day.
it€™s not okay.
another 14 hours and I€™ve got nothing to say.
do you ( do I ) really want to live this way?
So you thought you could be yourself,
so you thought you could be you.
control. ...control?
I thought I had control.
head still hurts from running into walls,
neck still hurts from turning the other cheek.
you run into walls as you move,
what do you think this world owes you?
what did you learn?
I remember everything you said to me,
I remember every laugh you laughed at me,
I remember how you used to look at me,
I remember everything you did to me,
I remember a decade later,
my neck still hurts from staring at the floor.
I always wanted to see myself run in slow motion.
it's my turn.
what I meant to say.
what I meant to do.
what I meant to say.
what I meant to do... to you.
A decade later, my heart still hurts form staring at the floor.
I always wanted to see myself run in slow motion.
you never let the weak go by.
you never let the small man walk.
I never let that memory go.
I'll remember until the day I die.
I want ten years you took from me.
I'm doing alright with my convictions.
How are you?
You're like everyone...
What if you are everyone?
You climbed a bone ladder to the top.
Can't see the sun, can't feel the rain.
I noticed you aren't breathing.
Wave goodbye, I'm doing all right for myself.
Stand up on top of everyone around you and don't see anything.
Well, I guess it's fucking dark up there;
and what you don't hear is your heart.
It's lonely at the top.
(What you don't feel is)
Your mind living and what you don't feel is your spine bending,
Your back breaking.
I got no interest in fighting my way through all the compromises you left behind.
But they do.
Watch out for their foot in your back.
They're as blind as you are,
They're as dead as you are,
And you're in their way.
You've got to give to get.
I took too much to forget.
You've got to give to get.
Don't close your eyes.
You've got to give.
What the fuck?
My friend?
Did you think I'd forget?
You had a chance,
We have the scars,
We had the dream.
They stole the dream.
They took the stars.
It's all we have.
You had a chance.
We have the scars,
We knew the world.
They stole the dream.
They took the stars.
It's all we had.
It should be ours.
You let it come down around you,
There's nothing under there.
I'm afraid I have to close my eyes;
I have to be selfish.
I hope you know we love you my friend.
What the fuck?
My friend?
What did you think, my friend?
I'd never walk away, my friend?
I remember what you look like standing, my friend.
I remember.
what could I ever say to you to stop you for a moment?
when it's every day and it's every way and
I think I might explode from the adrenaline.
[Don't say I'm wrong.]
you say my dreams are wrong and my ideals are flawed.
refuse.
I won't stop trying.
you don't care, you don't try,
but you're always there, in the line.
fuck you, I am the better man,
I'll give you all the chances that I can.
smile as you cut me, thank you as you smash me,
grit my teeth as you crush me, scream aloud as you silence me.
but I don't think it's you, it's the you I'll meet next time,
and the two I'll meet tomorrow.
the never ending you line. ... no matter what it's always you.
look outside as the world is dying.
look inside half of you are dead.
look outside you want a reason.
hell on earth with the angels dead.
living life under the shadows of illusion.
protected by others from the horrors of ourselves.
threat of destruction by our own twisted creations.
ignore the warning cries from the strawmen who failed us.
die for your dollars, die for your leaders,
die for your religion, die for your car.
die. (x5)
The scarecrow walks tonight.
stop killing ourselves or tomorrow we'll wake up dead.
look outside as the world is dying.
look inside half of you are dead.
look outside you want a reason.
hell on earth with the angels dead.
die for your religion.
die for your country.
die for your faith.
your death was a waste.
hell on earth.
I took two and I didn't notice
It's still noisy as Hell
I took two and it didn't make a difference
I did the best I could
The sun doesn't always shine
and the good guys don't always win
All the promises that we broke
and all the lies that we were told
We'll go to bed
with the best and worst thoughts in our heads
and hope for sleep
'cause tomorrow you'll wake up beautiful
And all the people we made cry
Everything will be alright
We've walked through suicide
and come out the other side
I'm worn down and wearing away
It's bedtime everyone
So I'm gonna take two more
All the promises we broke
and all the lies we were told
All the beatings that we took
and the people we made cry
For all our friends who we left behind
or we lost to suicide
We're never coming home
It consumes my thoughts and haunts my solitude,
we cover it up as best we can't hide ourselves.
Hope and ideals are just that,
but the pain and the sorrow is real.
We can't see it coming but I know where it's been
and I can see what it's done and I know how this is going to end.
Eventually all our pets will run away or die and then where will we be.
Creation was kind and we learned to live on lies
and I wish I could feel the other way.
I feel the pain.
Our smiles are lies, our smiles are lies,
our smiles are lies, shouldn't we be ashamed..
Go about your business
There is nothing to see here
Go about your business
There is nothing to love here
There's a storm coming, lock up your windows
Go about your business
there is nothing to see here
Go about your business
there is nothing to love here
There's a storm coming
lock your windows and bolt your doors
There's a storm coming
Give it a second and you'll see everything
You'll see
There's nothing to see
I've been falling asleep at the wheel
Daydreaming of insomnia
Have you been watching?
'Cause I've been waiting
I never want to see the sun come up
I'm never going to be able to finish this thought
My mind won't stop
There's a war coming and we're all out of heart
We're not ready for the last dance
I didn't save a thing
There's a war coming
and I didn't save anything for this dance
Watched your lips move during that interview.
That voice wasn't yours.
Spitting poison that's not dangerous,
Throwing knives that are dull.
I read what you said in that interview.
Was that you?
Why didn't it hurt you when you cut yourself?
How come there's no blood coming from those wounds?
Just not that cool.
You're no hero.
What if you meant it?
We meant it when we sang along.
What the fuck did you think I was pointing my finger at?
My see-through-hero,
You can't block the bullets I'm going to shoot at you.
I just watched somebody die.
I just swallowed another lie.
I don't want to see people die.
I don't want to swallow another lie.
It's time to own up to what you said,
To back up what you've done.
The TV screen - you want something from me.
The TV screams - you get nothing from me.
The TV screen - you want something from me.
The TV screams - you get nothing from me.
This is how you can face this when I think that I hate you.
Another life, another lie, mass murders of the mind.
I don't want to be afraid.
Another life, another lie, mass murders of my mind.
I don't want to be afraid to go outside.
This is why we hide.
This is why we die.
This is why.
I have nothing but contempt,
For how you think and how you live.
Twisted words to suit your vision,
Took what wasn't yours to give.
You are not a god.
You are not a man.
You are just a thief.
Come take from me.
How does the sun feel on your back?
How does your foot feel on her back?
I won't accept your life.
I won't steal her life.
How do you crush life?
How do you justify your life?
I will walk past your tradition and I won't look back.
Won't respect your position.
I think you missed his point.
I don't think he speaks to you.
I can look in your eye,
And know it for what you turned into.
Monster.
I've had better days.
I'm not good enough.
ENOUGH.
How do I know today won't be like yesterday?
Give me one good reason to get out of bed.
Turn it off.
I can't get this weight off.
It keeps me warm.
I can't hold this world up.
It's always on.
I can control this,
I can control this,
I can control this.
I HAVE CONTROL.
I'm not going to die today.
I'm not going to waste today.
I'm not going to die today.
How do I face today?
What if today is as bad as yesterday?
How do I get up the next day?
It doesn't matter.
I'll just end up here anyway.
Turn it back on.
It doesn't matter.
At least it's on.
Give me one good reason to get out of bed.
I shouldn't have said that.
What was I thinking, what was I doing?
Where did I go wrong?
I walked so far and followed for so long
just to say the wrong thing
It's going to be a good time
and I know you're not coming
Set it free if it loves you...
it's not coming back
I've lost weight and I look pale
But you look good, I couldn't help but notice
I've lost weight and I look pale
but you look good, I couldn't help myself
Just like last time, just like this time
Just like next time, just like the last time
I was your number one god damn fan
I was the best friend you never had
I was your number one god damn fan
I was the best you'll never have
Is this supposed to make it better?
If you're going to burn it, burn it all
Burn it all and walk away
What was I thinking, what was I doing?
What was I thinking, where did I go wrong?
What were we thinking, what were we doing?
What were we thinking, where did we go wrong?
I haven't been sleeping, but I've been dreaming
I haven't been eating, but I've been thinking
I've found the best place in the world
I'm calling the sun
It only takes a moment for you to realize
you own it, it's yours
It's massive and brilliant and it's mine
I'll never look at the sky without it again
Smiling faces
I'll call the sun and show my best
The best of you and the best of me
What happens next?
What if we're not even close?
What happens next?
I can't wait to show you
What happens next?
It's the sun and it's ours
What happens next?
It'll never go out
I'm so glad I woke up this morning
Because I can't wait to see what happens next
What happens next?
You'll see
You'll never see me again
and you'll never take me alive
Have we been wasting their breath?
Have we been paying attention?
Has it come to this?
We can't give up and we can't give in
So what's left?
Martyrdom fantasies and fading memories
of when we were better
Were we just kids...now we're adults
We didn't know it
Now we're grown up, now we've gone wrong
Giving up and giving in
I'll see you in the abyss
I'll see you in that blank stare
The worst of them
might have gotten the best of us
Looked out my window
and realized that I hate you
There's a black hole in my chest
and a fire in my stomach
and it's killing me like I want to kill you
The worst of you
might be better than the best of us
I didn't wake up this morning,
because I never fell asleep last night,
It's basically useless.
You can't get away from it and no one ever taught me to live with it...
All these things,
all these situations that take my days,
they don't matter,
they don't matter,
wouldn't it be nice if they didn't matter.
Somedays all that matters is tomorrow,
not me or you to today,
just tomorrow,
just tomorrow.
I think I did something wrong,
and I think I did something,
and I think I did something,
and I think.
I think I did something wrong,
and I think I did something,
I think I did something,
and I think I.
I think it's getting to me,
I think it's this town,
I think it's just me.
Cahaya gemilang menerangi malam ini
Saat daku mengharapkan
Suatu pengertian
Sekian lama
Sanubariku yang menantikan
Suatu ungkapan
Yang ikhlas dan murni
Tiada kupercaya
Segalanya bagai mimpi
Tanpa terkawal naluri
Bibir pun berkata
Bintang yang dicari
Kini di hadapan diri
Terimalah cinta
Ku untukmu
Bahagia bersama
Itulah harapan cita-cita
Insan bercinta
Sehingga akhirnya
Kita genggami berhati-hati
Meniti janji
Tiada dapat kujanjikan
Segunung permata
Hanya ketulusan kasih
Dari dasar hati
Hanya mahligai cinta
Bertakhta kuimpikan
Gagahi menempuh segalanya
Dikaulah penawar hati
Dikaulah pelita kalbu
Inginku selalu
Di sampingmu
Masa berlalu
Tanpaku menyedari
Percintaan yang kita bina
Hampir terlerai
Apa salahku
Kau buatku begini
Dalam dilema
Di antara jalan derita
Tidak pernah kuduga
Ini semua terjadi
Oh!..............
Janganlah engkau
Menghancurkan segala
Setelah lama
Kita mengharungi bersama
Usah biarkan
Cinta kita yang suci
Dilambung ombak
Karam dilautan berduri
Hanya satu pintaku
Moga kau menginsafi
Oh!...............
Telah banyak yang kuberi
Sejak dulu lagi
Pengorbanan tiada pernah jemu
Hanyalah Tuhan saja
Bisa menentukan semua
Kesabaran daku menantimu
Oh!.............
Kutetap memaafkan
Dan berdoa kau kembali
Pabila mata bertentang mata
Hati bertanya
Adakah dia jawapannya
Selama ini
Ku tak percaya kepada cinta
Pandangan pertama
Ku tak peduli rasa di hati
Pada mulanya
Pabila suaramu kedengaran
Hati bermula rasa
Seakan satu debaran
Debaran cinta
Ternyata kini bahagia
Daku kecapi
Tiada kesalan yang melanda
Asmara ini
Moga yang Esa
Merestui cinta kita
I can write you a list of everything
I've ever done wrong
because it's always on my mind
but I already forgot what I did right today
what a sad way to live
self absorbed and wasted
did you do something right today?
I can tell you what I did wrong
I wrote this song
what makes the wheels in your mind turn?
lobotomize ourselves with work and television
you're looking forward to never thinking again?
Forget it, quitter
What did you do right today?
Welcome to the end of everything
that you took for granted
It's your last day on easy street
Time to prop your fucking eyes open
and stare at the mirror
That's you and this is it
Splash some water on your face and suck it up
You just lost all your choices
She was the best thing that ever happened to you
and now it's over
That's just fine, that will do
Let it burn
Let it fall apart
That's just fine, that will do
Let it die
Let it walk away from you
Didn't get to look her in the face
Let's make something dangerous
Let's make something new
Let's make something that will burn
there's nothing romantic about it
There's nothing
You did everything wrong and now it's over
Best thing that ever happened to you
You don't deserve it
Live up to it
How do we act like this?
We've left each other behind.
Walked away from our own,
Left them alone,
Self-satisfying our desires from the top of another's back.
Liar.
Reduced yourself to this.
Lair.
There's nothing on the top of a pile of our own,
There's nothing on the backs of our friends,
There's nothing to our desires when we win like this.
Have you ever seen the eyes of a man,
As he's betrayed by his friends?
Have you ever seen him cry?
Have you ever seen his eyes?
Because every day we are beaten down,
Stolen from,
Lied to,
By our friends,
By our own,
By our fellow man.
It could have been so much better than this.
