Nothing but fun, I came here to enjoy.
Who cares what the morning brings?
We're just kids, and when we have kids
we'll be kids with kids.
We're all still teenagers at heart,
Still rebelling against what we were taught.
We're all still teenagers at heart,
Refuse to grow up, pushing 30, directionless, and yes...
We're bored. What are we doing?
There's no responsibility anymore.
Is there no responsibility anymore?
We're all still teenagers at heart,
Still rebelling against what we were taught.
It's all so beautiful and oh so political.
We're all still teenagers at heart,
Still rebelling against what we were taught.
It's all so beautiful and oh so political.
It's all so beautiful and oh so political
Pull up and turn the headlights off.
That's it, I've had enough.
I've given up so much, now I just give up.
Weight cleared, expectations off.
I feel like how I haven't felt in months.
Shed the past.
Keep moving forward.
Shed the past.
Keep moving forward.
Light hits my eyes...
A gesture that you made,
A piece of paper that you gave,
"For all of this",
Clears the skies,
And I can see why.
Shed the past.
Keep moving forward.
There are things too hard to repeat
It all seems to easy,the way that this all fits.
I once knew the point and that's something I miss.
I found the meaning but I can't find the verse.
And I know the moves so let's rehearse.
Pull it apart and see what comes out.
What can you do when there's nothing left to shout?
Complacency will be the end of us.
No second chances, if we rest we rust!
I found the meaning but I can't find the verse.
And I know the moves so let's rehearse.
Pull it apart and see what comes out.
What can you do when there's nothing left to,
I don't want to shout?
This isn't a song that is easy to write,
but I'm ready to restart and find a new fight.
Dust off my shorts, warm up my voice.
This once's for us, this is our choice!
The future's Bright Grey so I'll try my best
to be honest with you and nothing less.
I made my own meaning, I wrote my own verse
and I'll scream when there's nothing left for me
Blank space, white out,
unadorned sections, the grey poking out.
Bright thoughts, had a few.
Static on the line, message misconstrued.
Switch it off, the answers no!
The question is?
Don't even know!
Grinding gears, grinding teeth.
Sense of dread, rolling and scratching.
Bold strokes, paper cuts,
1000ft deep, a mouthful of dust.
Dulled edge, red eyed,
exchanging warm handshakes with compromise.
Switch it off, the answers no!
The question is?
Don't even know!
Grinding gears, grinding teeth.
Sense of dread, rolling and scratching
YEAH!
COME ON!
Trouble brewing in my head,
I need to get out of this place
before I become braindead.
Dissatisfaction, time for action,
senses dulled, there's no reaction.
I've got an idea!
Let's write a song!
We'll call it "Bright Grey"
and you'll sing along.
Still frustrated, agitated,
at the modern world and all it's traps.
Time waits for no-one and there's not much to go on,
I'll keep moving forward, I won't look back.
We've got ideas!
It's time to act!
Just stop talking or nothing will happen
and that's a fact.
There's no room to wait.
I'm fashionless! Yes, I confess...
I lost the contest for the best dressed!
You might say I've got no style
and I'll fail all you tests.
I'm not anti-fashion per-se,
I'm just fashionless.
I don't know what it takes to look good.
I can't even get away with black shirt,
black jeans and black hood.
I don't know what it takes and I don't see the appeal...
There's nowhere to hide when you're bored,
Familiar haunts, we tread the same boards.
Words don't scratch the surface.
Who are you? What's your purpose?
I reach out but there's all this space,
I can't connect with you, or this place.
I look up, the sky's bright grey.
There's no easy answers
but I know we'll find a way because...
I've been here before!
You know we don't like change!
The same sounds, the same faces,
I can see my eyes becoming jaded.
I've been here before!
The same sounds, the same faces.
All that I can feel is DISCONNECTED!
We will triumph, we won't admit defeat,
irony will lie dead in the street.
We all know the joke's on us
Don't hold me back!
I need those guts, for the honor.
A trophy for my crime!
A fist of dirt,
No empty gestures,
This is the truth this time.
Am I still bitter?
Can I hold a grudge?
Sorry friend but you are not in luck.
But at the crunch I held back.
I know deep down it's not worth that.
Even at my worst I have compassion,
and ability to control my actions.
You got off light.
So learn from this.
You're still in the running
cos I'll always feel this.
Am I still bitter?
Can I hold a grudge?
Sorry friend but you are not in luck.
You got off light.
So learn from this.
You're still in the running
cos I'll always feel this.
Turning this inside.
A fatal mistake?
For now it affects
I don't want to know what you do,
Where you go, what you have or what you'd like to own.
It's all air to me, it's nothing.
The oxygen I breathe contains the will to start something.
Do you feel backed into a corner? That you're limited yourself?
Get out of your comfort zone, get out of your house.
There's a world outside these small minds.
There is a world outside.
There's a world outside your own kind.
There is a world outside.
I'll never rest, I'm never content,
to accept my fate give up and lament,
what you could've been, what I could've done.
Get knocked down? Get up and move on.
There's a world outside these small minds.
There is a world outside.
There's a world outside your own kind.
There's a world outside...
...and you create it, you make it your own.
There isn't more to life and there's no way to control.
You want something?
Go out and get it!
But if you're not willing to work hard then just forget it.
There's a world outside these small minds.
There is a world outside.
There's a world outside your own kind.
A sunny day!
I opened my eyes, a welcome break from bright grey skies.
Today is a blank page, there is so much I could do.
I remembered a sign that once rang true,
Is there something tangeable to own?
Something to claim and sell?
Everyone has a price, everything has a label.
All you need to do is find the right angle!
Are we the same?
Just relative degrees.
Get caught up in the argument,
and before you know it "We aim to please".
We are something to own.
We can be bought and sold.
We have a price and we can be labeled
All we need to do is lay our cards on the table!
Are we the same?
Just relative degrees.
We're in the same boat
but sailing different seas.
ARE WE THE SAME?
ARE WE THE SAME?
Don't claim higher ground
in ethic or sound,
Rethink expectations,
Confuse and confound.
Are we the same?
It's hard to see.
Looking from a different angle,
but we still aim to please.
A figure made of stone, absent of all feeling.
May hear our whispers but his heart is now caved in.
Can't react,
Can't respond.
Can't create integral bonds.
Just stands that way each and every day.
He won't know what he's missing!
Don't waste your youth or it will waste you!
There's more to this than standing on the same square foot of ground.
Fuck this. It's all too much.
Responsibility hangs heavy,
it's like you want me to crack.
Can I wash my hands of this dirt?
I can't define the boundaries or why this hurts.
Bright grey skies, now black.
Oppressive clouds loom overhead
and I don't know which way I should look to ease the stress.
As what I know falls apart and I fail these tests.
I can't take it anymore, I'm tired of seeing you tired
and tired of picking you up off the floor.
Chase the tarmac, a way to escape.
Ignore, trick and fake my way through to hide the breaks.
This repetition will be the death of me.
This repetition will be the death of me.
These conflicts and conversations pass like a dream.
This repetition will be the death of me.
I do all I can do,
I do all I can do not to be me.
I'm sick of hearing the same thing over again.
Unobtainable goals, they wear thin.
I forgot the point, I forgot my friends.
I missed the punchline at the end.
This repetition will be the death of me.
This repetition will be the death of me.
These conflicts and conversations pass like a dream.
This repetition will be the death of me.
Hello friends! It's been too long.
You know we miss this, but if you think
we'd like to do it all the time then...
YOU'D BE WRONG!
The great myth of achievement and success...
There's no control.
The golden path to happiness?
I'm not in a band for the fucking stress.
"Decisions to be made!"
Ride it out while we can?
"I don't want to get a job and go work for the man!"
Put my life on hold and get in the van?
The great myth of achievement and success...
There's no control.
The golden path to happiness?
I'm not in a band for the fucking stress.
It's a strange place to be,
A bit of fun opening up opportunities.
If you look at it objectively,
it's only our egos that benefit from taking most of these.
The great myth of achievement and success...
There's no control.
The golden path to happiness?
I'm not in a band for the fucking stress.
The compromises we make,
they get easier each time.
Until we don't know where we are
I woke up one morning
In the bathroom of your house
You were upstairs sleeping
So I let myself out
I walked around your garden
I kissed the morning air
Your neighbors saw me throwing stones
But they didn't seem to care
I used to think I'd have to stay awhile
But I don't think you know who I am
I used to think I'd have to say goodbye
But I don't think I know who you are
I know you've got other friends
Still asleep in separate beds
It doesn't bother me that much
Knowing they could be me instead
We're just a common tale, you know
Just wet lips and cigarettes
No different than a random act of love
That we'll soon forget
I used to think I'd have to stay awhile
But I don't think you know who I am
I used to think I'd have to say goodbye
But I don't think I know who you are
I used to think I'd have to stay awhile
But I don't think you know who I am
I used to think I'd have to say goodbye
It's such a sad state of affairs
Your drunk-brick silhouette
It's such a shame to see all the kids
Holding their cigarettes
The neon lights outshine
Their pretty little faces still remain
I don't blame you for thinking that way
They always come when I whisper
Come a little bit closer now
Won't you baby?
Just a little bit closer now
You hear what I'm saying?
Come a little bit closer now
Won't you baby?
Just a little bit closer now
Don't keep me waiting
What do you say?
You can close the book on me if I make you feel that way
I've grown used to keeping secrets
And ignoring what people say
With a shape so smooth
She moves like silver smoke
I don't blame you for keeping your morals
But they always come when I whisper
Come a little bit closer now
Won't you baby?
Just a little bit closer now
You hear what I'm saying?
Come a little bit closer now
Won't you baby?
Just a little bit closer now
Don't keep me waiting
At home you were laying the stones for your future plans
Just like your father did
Just like your mother did
Looking through a window pane
It's ok, you were never one to risk it anyway
Just like your father was
Just like your mother was
Standing before them head down
Don't be afraid to let them see
What it is that makes you feel alive
It's not enough to say what you want
It's not enough to wait for tomorrow
Your friends like to pretend that their happiness will never end
Just like their parents who
Learned from the parents too
You won't ever change
You'll stay the same as long as you let things stand in your way
Just like your father did
I was trying hard to remember her name
It's been so long since I'd seen her last
Her face was the only thing that remained
Pale and innocent on a scandalous frame
She was sitting cross legged
Her foot like a clock
Ticking nervously
It never stopped
She swallowed my face and devoured my eyes
I hadn't changed
She knew I hadn't changed
She's just a memory now
"Murder!", she cried, "You devil,
Give back what you've taken from me."
"Murder!", she cried, "You devil,
You knew me once and you threw me away."
At night we'd walk under the trees
We'd joke about being burnt by the moon
She always said she wanted everything
She held my hand tighter as we neared a park bench
Nostalgia's king when your nights are alone
I swam his seas before I found someone
And there she was
Locking eyes with a stranger
She was busy wishing she had time to change this
She's just a memory now
"Murder!", she cried, "You devil,
Give back what you're taken from me."
"Murder!", she cried, "You devil,
You knew me once and you threw me away."
So you want me to say I don't know where
(I don't know where)
I want to go
My word is stone
So take what I said
And throw it out the window
Oh, no expectations
(I'm happy not knowing
I don't have to think about anything)
A sign of the times
I'll sleep it off
You know you're in charge
So you know you're right
I just want to say that you've got me pegged
The sound of a gun
The crack of a flame
Are you laughing or screaming?
It all sounds the same
My picture in tabloids
They'll never forget the day I was born was their final regret
I know what they'll say about me
I guess I'm not worried
They never said anything before
I've got nothing left to lose
You held the knife to my neck
This is what you get
Go ahead, raise your hands high
There's nothing up there now
I've got nothing left to lose
The sounds of your voices
The itch in my finger
Am I bluffing or betting on the feel of this trigger?
You will remember everything that I've done
The next time this happens, you'll see I'm not alone
I've got nothing left to lose
You held the knife to my neck
This is what you get
Go ahead, raise your hands high
There's nothing up there now
Indecision, it's all upstairs
In the hide-away
In the closet
It's where you keep your clothes
Where you hide your gun
You've got no bullets
But pull the trigger for fun
Your city's sleeping
Your city's sleeping
Underneath the blankets you're still screaming
So keep it in
Hold it tight
You should let go of all that you've been thinking
It's time you realize
Or throw it all away
It's all a charade
It isn't worth it anyway
So tell your friends that you'll see them soon
If you see what everyone else sees
Whatever they say you are
That's what you'll be
Your mind is pacing
Fists clenched
Your tired fingers are searching, searching again
It makes sense
You've seen this before
In your room at night
Behind a locked door
This is not the bitter end
This is not the bitter end
This tragic story's final draft will not be handed in
So spin the record
One more time
And watch it go round and round again
It's time you realize
Or throw it all away
It's all a charade
It isn't worth it anyway
So tell your friends that you'll see them soon
If you see what everyone else sees
Whatever they say you are
We started asking questions
With no stone to throw
So we started marching on
With no place to go
We left the shores with rusty flagpoles
To paint the world by numbers
With nothing to show, with nothing to show
You can hear them singing the same old songs
(La la la la la la)
We all chime in with guilt free sing-a-long
(La la la la la la)
Helpless, cornered, beaten and scared
All the feeling of the world are shared
The same old story in the same old ways
Same old people get the same old pay
Still we listen to wise men say
(La la la la la la)
Still we've got no answers
We just do what we're told
We threw matches on the gasoline and watched it unfold
We left the shores with flags in our hands
And trotted off to foreign lands
Dolce and Gabbana
Dior, Diesel and Fendi
Gucci and Ralph Lauren
Calvin Klein and Cavalli
Sometimes life is bigger than the sound
That's why we end up in the lost and found
I bought in when I was young
I was a sucker then
Just a sucker, whoo
You put your right hand in
You take your right hand out
Can you tell me what it's all about?
This ain't rock and roll
It's a motherfucking fashion show
Prada, Chanel and Galliano
Valentino and Versace
Burberry, Levi's and Armani
Isaac Misrahi
Sometimes life is bigger than the sound
That's why we end up in the lost and found
I bought in when I was young
I was a sucker then
Just a sucker, whoo
You put your right hand in
You take your right hand out
Can you tell me what it's all about?
This ain't rock and roll
Just take me back to the 610 like those times before
I want to get to the place that I call my home
It's where I met my baby girl and I know she's there waiting for me
Down by the river those kids wait to sip the summer air
And taste, yeah they taste that dirty water
Just take me back to the 610 like those times before
I want to get to the place that I call my home
If you've never been, then you never really know
It's where I go when I go home
It's not the place I was born that matters
It's where I'm from
If you ask, I'll tell you where
Down in the circle those kids, they wait to smoke the summer air
And smile at Northampton streetlights
When I die, just bury me in the backyard
When I die, just bury me in the backyard
When I die, just bury me in the backyard
They're calling you a hero now
What did you do to please the crowd?
What did you do to deserve the honor?
Can they hear you below the ground?
All your friends were there
They screamed, "Wake up, wake up!"
They shook your body
But you refused to get up, get up
I don't want it anymore
I don't want it anymore
Another lesson learned in growing up
You were already gone before they started showing up
All the kids grab your faces now
On my mark, get set, let it go
And you still say, "the dead kids are the coolest"
It's just one more way she made her name
She won't run for distance anymore
She left her last impression on the dashboard
It's his claim to fame
It's what the people say
When they talk about the football star
Is it a lesson learned or his throwing arm?
What does it mean to leave so soon?
Can we learn anything from you?
Build a monument to stupid mistakes
We've got to see every crack in your bleeding face
I don't want it anymore
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, hei!
Tästä ei ole paluuta.
Toivon, että et unohda,
miltä näytin, kun rakastuin.
Riisu kaikista aseista.
Siinä pitää olla taitava.
Paina mieleen,
miten itkin ja nauroin,
miten hiukset tarttuivat kiinni poskiin.
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, hei!
Kutsumattomat vieraat nyt jääkää kotiin, joo-oo.
Avataan paidan nappeja.
Kehu mut läpi huolella.
Minkä keksit, sen uskon.
Ja mä tutkin sun ihoa
niin kuin vieraita seutuja.
Luomet, arvet.
Haluun löytää ne kaikki,
ja kädet ??? asti tuntee tän tien.
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, hei!
Kutsumattomat vieraat nyt jääkää kotiin, joo-oo.
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, hei!
Kutsumattomat vieraat nyt jääkää kotiin, joo-oo.
Liiku taas vähän hitaammin.
Älä kiirehdi haluisin
hetken olla rajalla.
Tartu kiinni mun ranteista.
Katso silmiin jos uskallat.
Paina mieleen,
miten itkin ja nauroin,
miten hiukset tarttuivat kiinni poskiin.
Miten itkin ja nauroin,
miten hiukset tarttuivat kiinni poskiin.
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, hei!
Kutsumattomat vieraat nyt jääkää kotiin, joo-oo.
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, hei!
Kutsumattomat vieraat nyt jääkää kotiin, joo-oo
Restless known
1stV:
Tell me my restless known
No other can tell me what you know
you know you told me you'd let me know
if your gonna hold me or let me go it alone.
chouse:
Alone..there is no compromise
alone..we just let it in or let it slide
alone...i will get by
alone...there is no inbetween the lines
*Besides me you got it all wrong,you gotta walk before you crawl,replacing me with your little enuendo
aint no big suprise baby that it dont mean nothing at all.
but your showing me exactly what you want me to see and your telling me exactly what you want me to hear
all this keepin me here like putting salt on the wing aint no big suprise baby that it dont meen a thing..at the end of the line.
2nd Verse:
Tell me before we go any futher are you waitin on the big crash
You know you told me you wanna give it away,but behind the scenes you were taking it back.
Alone...there is no compromise
Alone...we just let it in or let it slide
Alone...i will, i will get by
Alone...we are still alone alive
**At the end of the line is there ever enough time let in this world is there love at the end of the girl.
