Monsters that trinkle like cats in the night
The cosmic conceiver continues his plight
A war of the heavens, what's wrong and what's right
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
Spraying the children with incense and myrrh
The hopeless confessions of minds unsure
Spraying the children with incense and myrrh
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
I tried to come over and see you today
I tried to come over to want you to say
I wanted you say to come today
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
Mindlessly hoping she falls for their minds
Holding the sacraments, secrets unkind
Chewing the curdles of cream from the rain
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
Chewing the grits...
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
I got a good friend knows to get the good peach pie
On Long Beach Island
He's got the tunes cranked up and now I'm feelin' high
On Long Beach Island
Dark and stormy got the clams on the grill
And the tuna's cooked just right
My baby's sleepin' and it's way past twelve
I'm gonna go all night
Gonna be another witness to a moonlight dive
On Long Beach Island
Though you had a bit to drink I know you'll stay alive
On Long Beach Island
Gonna wake up at nine a.m.
And gonna have some breakfast with my baby again
Drink some coffee
Get back to the house
Put on my suit and I'ma dive on out
Got a good friend knows to get the good peach pie
On Long Beach Island
He got the tunes cranked up and now I'm feelin' high
Got aesthetic universal saturation in the grip of the morning sun.
The creosote that erodes all the odors that lie dormant when the day is done.
Hop the dingle on the ferry takes you back to the dimension that's just begun.
Riding the crest of the communion to a union, Harry Truman is the holy son.
she's a sweetheart in the summer
summertime is here again
she's a sweetheart in the summer
and I hope it never ends
winter days that never end
frozen nights with you under the covers
but the lonely time we spend is worth it in the end when summer comes
makin' love and holdin' hands
rollin' in the sun and sand together
but every year when summer comes around
we fall in love again
she's a sweetheart in the summer
summertime is here again
she's a sweetheart in the summer
and I hope it never ends
I'm gonna take you far away
pack the car let's get away for a while (getaway getaway...)
we'll find a hotel room and call it home for just a couple days
love to see your smiling face nothing else is sweeter in the world
'cause when everything is said and done you will always be my girl
she's a sweetheart in the summer
summertime is here again
she's a sweetheart in the summer
and I hope it never ends
Sweetheart in the summertime 2x
Up on the hill, down by the river
By the ocean, across the field
By the word of the boognish
I said, "lordy lordy lord, i'm comin' home"
(lordy lordy lord, i'm comin' home)
When i was younger my momma told me
She said "gener, i wanna smell it."
And then she smelled it and it was smelly
And she said, "lordy lordy lord, i'm comin' home"
(lordy lordy lord, i'm comin' home)
In a dream said he was comin'
Boognish was risin' up from the mist
He held the scepter of wealth and power
And said, "by god, i've come to take you home."
(by god, i've come to take you home)
Up on the hill, down by the river

Ocean man, take me by the hand
Lead me to the land that you understand
Ocean man, the voyage to the corner of the globe
Is a real trip
Ocean man, the crust of a tan man imbibed by the sand
Soaking up the thirst of the land
Ocean man, can you see through the wonder of amazement
At the oberman
Ocean man, the crust is elusive when it casts forth
To the childlike man
Ocean man, the sequence of a life form braised in the sand
Soaking up the thirst of the land
Ocean man

Ocean man, take me by the hand

There's a rift out in space, and it could be the door, but you know I'm not sure.
If you go through the rift to the palace of ice - might it be nice - is it, paradise.
I'm the commander of time in my vessel of God - I go through the rift to the palace of ice.

I don't know, maybe it was the rain,
Another gray day, of fault making.
The real test was finding a bucket with enough holes to
let it out.
One of those days when the corn dries up,
And your nose turns red, and the crystals break.
Late day, the sun sets back up,
Back up to the warm room.
God is lying on your bed talking backwards.
Here take my legs,
Take my eyes,
Take my brain, take my brain, take my brain, my brain.
Home, home without the window again,
I got some blood on the floor,
The window won't close, it's getting cold
The weak marches flags with eyes of fire.
No, no not this again,
It's like a stone that smokes instead of burns,
Like wet wood that's green and fresh.
You want my chicken?!
...my potato salad?!
... you want to know how my day was?!
Well, God Was on My Bed When I Got Home!!!
Don't quiver little boy, your daddy's with you now
It won't be long anyhow
It's just around the corner
The destiny that I embrace with you
Oh, don't get too close to my fantasy
Don't be afraid to clutch the hand of your creator
Stare into the lion's eyes and if you taste the candy
You'll get to the surprise
Stay calm little dreamer and drift off into dreams
The gentle kiss of night is better than it seems
It's just around the corner
Close your eyes and soon you'll be with me
Oh, don't get too close to my fantasy
Don't be afraid to clutch the hand of your creator
Stare into the lion's eyes and if you taste the candy
You'll get to the surprise, oh
Don't get too close to my fantasy
Don't be afraid to clutch the hand of your creator
Stare into the lion's eyes and if you taste the candy
You'll get to the surprise
Oh, don't get too close to my fantasy
Don't be afraid to clutch the hand of your creator
Stare into the lion's eyes and if you taste the candy
Last day of light and I'm wondering how will the darkness creep in
Or why it didn't over throw me sooner than this
Have you ever seen a man broken and used.
Broken, broken and used.
They call that the blackout blues
We call that the blackout blues.
There are night it speaks to me from some place deep inside
When darkness overcomes a common man in a place, where even innocence can't hide
You can keep your setting suns
I need the night and the shadow to come
Hold your hope and pity in hand
This time alone I'll stand.
I've lost everything still I'm wondering
Is this the end, x2
I'm lost in everything still I'm wondering
Is this the end, x2
This is the end of a days have turned to night
I have turned my face from the light
There is no coming back from this
There is no place that I will find rest,
No place that I will find rest.
You can keep your setting suns
I need the night and the shadow to come
Hold your hope and pity in hand
This time alone I'll stand.
Hang my head for a final time
Gasp the air I say goodbye to the bottom,
I keep no friends as I get lower to my end.
I've lost everything still I'm wondering
Is this the end, x2
I'm lost in everything still I'm wondering
Is this the end. x2
I've seen rock bottom and I've gone on through
These dying eyes have seen death a time or two
Have you ever seen a man so broken and used
I've got the blackout blues, x2
Blackout blues.
Lights are fading out, lights are fading,
As her insides screaming, let me out
She speaks as if someone's in the room with her
(Someone sits quietly on the ceiling tile)
Still facing the corner with eyes gouged out
These tears of blood fall, for blood is all she's crying now
Her heart beats on
She's just not, giving up yet
Though blinded by the devil's touch
She rises above him
She rises above
She races towards the light
Her heart beats on
She stares death straight in the face
Her heart beats on
Still tears of blood fall
For blood is all she's crying now
As he cuts into her chest
Her heart beats on
She's just not giving up yet
Though blinded by the devil's touch
She rises above him
Rise above
She floats towards the light
The darkness recedes
Let me out, let me live again
In this most desperate hour she cries
This desperate hour
In this crowded room
In this crowded room
In this crowded room
With an empty view
In this crowded room
Save your goodbyes
'Cause we all know it's not the end
Save your goodbyes
'Cause we all know it's not the end
Save your goodbyes
(In this crowded room)
'Cause we all know it's not the end
Save your goodbyes
(In this crowded room)
Oh, I'm waiting in the calm before the storm for the tides to turn and wash me away.
Oh, debating the last time we felt warm, we've always turned a cold shoulder.
To the blinding white light, where I know I'm not alone, gravity pulled me out here.
To the reaching skyline, where men look for their rest, to my knees I drop at last.
With worn out hands I present them to the sky, only to feel your guiding light.
To the blinding white light, x2
Where I know I'm not alone, gravity pulled me out here.
Maybe I can call this home.
So many lights flickered black, yet you've refused to burn out like that.
So to my true north I let my body fade, and there I will live out the rest of my days,
For you have come and saved brought the lost back,
So you will remain here and I'll fade, I'll fade to black, and I'll fade. I'll fade to black.
We all fade, we all fade to black.
To the blinding white light, x2
Where I know I'm not alone, gravity pulled me out here, gravity pulled me out.
To the blinding white light, x2
Where I know I'm not alone, gravity pulled me out here.
Maybe I can call this home.
You are the white light, we fade to black,
You are the white light, we fade, we fade to black.
You are the white light (where I know I'm not alone), we fade to black,
You are the white light (maybe I can call this home), we fade, we fade to black.
You are the white light (where I know I'm not alone), we fade, we fade to black.
This is an open ended sky, with open eyes too tired to look away
Say you'll stay forever by my side, and forever we'll be standing here
The dead still (walk the streets)
This means war ((on) everyone)
You can't hear (them lying to us)
You cant see (their fingers crossed)
(x2)
Lets keep our thoughts on guard this time
We'll keep on moving on
Just don't let them get too close
(x2)
In the land where the dead still walk (walk the streets)
This means war ((on) everyone)
You can't hear (them lying to us)
You can't see (their fingers crossed)
This is a test
We know our own strength
We'll take the east (and march on)
Make our way
Burning all our bridges
State by state
We march on
(x2)
And we march on, leaving trails of hope behind us
With our hands to the sky, the wind will be our guide
At times like these, to be the last ones standing
Hope is all we have left (x2)
At times like these (to be the last one standing)
To be the last ones standing (to be the last one standing)
Hope is all (to be the last one standing)
Hope is all we have left (to be the last one standing)
To be the last one standing
I don't love what I've done.
All these months of wear,
I don't know where I was.
And now at this anchor like and alter
I'll tie and tie and tie
(I'll tie and tie)
And if this never ends
At least I'll stay alive
Know when to count my loses
And if this never ends,
At least I'll stay alive.
Learn to forgive myself
Now press west!
Cover your footsteps!
Climb your hill,
Like a mountain!
You are not the wall on which I lean
(I'm not the man you though I was)
Is there more to this than what I see?
(I'm not the man you though I was)
I've been wandering
And for this I ache.
I should have told you,
I loved you back.
I've been wandering
This wasn't a dream
Set Adrift
(Ill advised, ill equipped)
Sleep safe
(Thinking well)
We can only hope he makes it.
We can only hope.
Hope he
And if this never ends
(makes it somewhere)
At least I'll stay alive
Know when to count my loses
(hope he)
And if this never ends,
(makes it somewhere)
At least I'll stay alive.
Damager
oh damager
with glass in your eyes
how do you see
how do you feel with your hands so posed
lets talk numbers
lets talk themes
now they've been ruined
see you next week
i missed the meeting
oh no
i've been away
lets be reborn
oh yeah
lets dig out graves and make them deep
oh god its a fashion trend
fortress lock your plague
damager dig your grave
though your pages
are torn and tattered
they still read you like a book
just close your eyes and walk away
we laid her down
opened her with
the sharpest blade we found
hoping inside
we'd find the cure
to our condition
but as graceful as the lady may have been
she still bled the blood that made her human
she shed roses on her bed
and she spoke in a winter wilted language
"i've sold my gold for blood red
We lied as we rode down (down our paths)
We tied all these loose ends (back together)
We looked to the sky for signs
For a way to relieve the masses
We kneeled in candle lit rooms
Tonight we dance, don't hold back
No, no we don't hold back
This is a toast to the ones we've lost
This is a toast
May we be reborn again
So get lost when she screams (murder!)
The devil sees you when you're walking around
So get lost when she screams (murder!)
The devil sees you when you're walking around
Sinking this ship might be
The only way of freeing our hearts
We're drowning this city away
Before we can tear it apart
Of guilt red hands
That hang beside me
This blue river
Will not wash away
Of guilt red hands
That hang beside me
This blue river
You sing just like
caged
birds
til the trees are ablaze
the scribe licks his pen
come fly with me
rewrite our end
still, alive
still, alive
this is peace
they will never send for us
these walls have taught us
not to speak
not to feel
not to see
sing me to sleep
like this is home
sing for me
while we're alone
please stay
i need you here, my bird
dear god
call an ambulance
you sing just like
caged
birds
still, alive
Does death divide us all by light
The same way as the day decides the night
Is darkness just where it begins
As I get closer, does blindness set in
Does death divide us all by light
Are we buried beneath the ocean
Or have the bodies we once had all turned to dust
Does death divide us all by light
The same way the day decides the night
Is darkness just where it begins
As I get closer, does blindness set in
Look into these hollow eyes
I have seen the dead come alive
Look into these hollow eyes
I have seen the dead come alive
I have seen the dead come alive
The dead come alive
Are we buried beneath the ocean
Or have the bodies we once had all turned to dust
Forgive this face for goodness sakes
What else could I do, this is my fate
If finding death is happiness
Well then my friend wish me the best
(Bring me your bones)
(Bring me your bones)
(Let them be my own)
Wish me the best
(Bring me your bones)
(Bring me your bones)
(Let them be my own)
If finding death is happiness
Well then my friend wish me the best
(Bring me your bones)
If finding death is happiness
Well then my friend wish me the best
(Bring me your bones)
Bring me your bones
(Bring me your bones)
(Bring me your bones)
Bring me your bones
(Bring me your bones)
(Bring me your bones)
Bring me your bones
(Bring me your bones)
(Bring me your bones)
Bring me your bones
(Bring me your bones)
(Bring me your bones)
Let them be my own
(Bring me your bones)
(Bring me your bones)
(Bring me your bones)
I surround myself with the living as they all play dead
I wish you could know what I see inside my head.
Look through eyes that see through lies knowing that there is no peace, knowing that there is no peace.
For men who break, x2
The hearts that take, x2
Their careless love to keep.
While you're playing god with beggars and thieves on their knees
I'll be spreading treason through your ranks with ease
Town by town and street by street no rest no sleep
How many wolves do I need to kill till I find sheep.
God damn I want to leave it all behind,
Erase all the memories from my mind,
Leave nothing but a trail of fucking dead,
Don't look back at me look straight ahead.
Town by town and street by street, no rest no sleep,
How many wolves will I kill till I find sheep.
If you seen one then you've seen them all, oh how the wicked fall.
Look through eyes that see through lies knowing that there is no peace, knowing that there is no peace.
For men who break, x2
The hearts that take, x2
Their careless love to keep.
God damn I want to leave it all behind,
Erase all the memories from my mind,
Leave nothing but a trail of fucking dead,
Don't look back at me look straight ahead.
(from Split w/ Therefore I Am)
I, I dug a hole
Fit for a queen
But she, she bore a tunnel
Through the back of my head
Now we'll see who's coming back
I through there is no coming back
Spitting blood and seeing black
That is what is coming back
She raises from black velvet
She knows her sacrifice has failed
The bride steps into the hallway
I feel a reckoning is in order
Under
Shelter
Of sins and secrets.
Wait in silence.
In silence, four strangers,
They approach.
Not a word, not a sound.
the faces in the hill
come alive
They won't take "No."
So we give it to them
Let your bad blood spill.
The wind
Moans in the trees
When I lay down.
On your bed,
And your face is
Of an angel.
give my blade your wings
find their hearts
black as the devils eyes
Smile back.
Go like the wind,
Like the wind in her hair.
With your spear at their hearts.
In the name of a woman. Standing anxious at a window.
Counting waves to see. Our letters wash up.
Swearing us safe. Cut through the night.
Close your eyes. And ride the wind.
Into the depths. Her flowing beauty.
Never said what would become of us.
A truth too great for concern.
She wore her heart. Like a blood red stain.
On the chest of a velvet gown.
Thrown bare at the mouth of hell.
And all the grace. That she gave to the world.
Comes down tonight. Comes down tonight.
So we share. Our frozen gaze. An assuring bond.
To carry on. To carry on.
We'll never be the same. No we'll never be the same.
Home becomes our sun. breaking the horizon.
Like a spotlight to tired eyes.
Brilliant as the sun. breaking the horizon.
Like a spotlight to tired eyes.
So we lit the sails. And cast ourselves in.
To the searching eyes. We were a wreck.
A sight for miles. A scene to break.
A thousand hearts. If on ashes. We wash ashore.
Then by the sea we are spared.
We are spared and pure.
Into the depths. Her flowing beauty.
Never said what would become of us.
A truth too great for concern.
She wore her heart. Like a blood red stain.
On the chest of a velvet gown.
Thrown bare at the mouth of hell.
Never forget. The fury of a well aimed promise.
Short black dress falls
off her shoulders
we're on top of the world
the evening airs intoxicating
we're on top of the world
We're on top of it!
We're on top of it!
Drink away
drown away problems
just move on
Drink away
drown away problems
just move on
All you can swallow is still jsut a mouthful.
Ready?
let's take our time
lay out her insides
Ready?
let's take our time
lay out her insides
Ready?
let's take our time
lay out her insides
Ready?
let's take our time
lay out her insides
One cut from this knife
and we'll bleed out our insides
Your eyes gut me
like the, sharpest of knives
Your eyes gut me
like the, sharpest of knives
Your eyes gut me
like the, sharpest of knives
Your eyes gut me
like the, sharpest of knives
You looked so much better then
You looked so much better then
You looked so much better then
You looked so much better then
Let's run like kids at play
Hold our breath
'till our hearts stop beating, hearts stop beating
Let's run like kids at play
Hold our breath
'till our hearts stop beating, hearts stop beating
Let's run like kids at play
Hold our breath
'till our hearts stop beating, hearts stop beating
Let my last breath
Be something I hold dear
Let my, let my last breath
Let my, let my last breath
Be something I hold
God Damn
Something I Hold
To myself, can't walk away
As I try my best
But, is it enough?
I decide my past, isn't enough
I decide my past
Hold your breath
Is it enough?
Hold your breath
Is it enough?
Hold your breath
Is it enough?
Hold your breath
Is it enough?
Hold your breath
Is it enough?
Hold your breath
I've got everything I need
To keep you at my side
A new reason every day
To keep my head up
And this will be the last time
You get to see my face
Till winter's end comes crashing down (comes crashing down)
I never understood what living like this does
Part of me was lost so long ago
If we move with the waves
I'll breathe in the air
We'll walk till the sea is all that we're near
With worn empty hands and tired eyes
Will hope be all we have left
As I keep myself away
I'll stay my course
Words come so hard but you're with me
When I sleep
Keep moving
I've tried so hard
Keep moving
This can't be it
Keep moving
Remind myself it's worth the fight
You will meet my hands
If this takes me
I'll leave my words on the wind
When it all comes down
To a frozen ocean between us
Keep me alive
You're everything that keeps me
I've got more than just pictures to keep you at my side
When distance becomes clear
I'll keep my head up
If you move with the waves
I'll breathe in the air
We'll walk till the sea is all that we're near
With worn empty hands and tired eyes
Will hope be all we have left
Will hope be all we have left
Let's make this happen
Let's lay it all down now
You've been taken for granted
So let me show you around
You'll never see the light of day again
The walls were crawling, with your insides
The walls were crawling, with your insides
You'll never see the light of day again
Your heart was shining, like a chandelier
Your heart was shining, like a chandelier
They will never let you go
They will never let you go
They will never let you go
There's no escaping
You haven't the legs to stand on
There's no escaping
You haven't the legs to stand on
And I'm so thankful
That I'm not in your place
And I'm so thankful
That I'm not in your place
I just can't get the ending right.
I'm so desperate tonight.
It seems only right to let the shadows lead the way.
If I could only just decide.
To let go of my insides.
I know that I'll never have to feel this way again.
And I'm caught in between.
My waking life and dreams.
Death's just as lonely as before.
I still remember you when.
This is all too familiar now.
I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
What was it that I came here for?
They held us down.
But now we're breaking loose.
We swore that we'd let nothing stand in our way.
And when I'm gone.
I will come back to haunt you.
I'll still watch over you my love.
When you're on your way to me.
Don't forget the taste of me.
And don't forget the feel of me.
With my arms around you.
Those memories will never fade.
Like all the promises we made.
This is all too familiar now.
I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
What was it that I came here for?
From below. The sun will rise.
And give us time to clear our heads.
The end is breathing down my neck.
Though hope is all that we have left.
The pain in understanding. Why we can't take it all back.
It's time to finally let go. Of everything we've known.
This is all too familiar now.
I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
What was it that I came here for?
I swear I'll find you before I drift away.
This is all too familiar now.
I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
Stay on your feet.
Don't stop. Don't stop till you get to me.
These are just parts that we play.
Quiet colors in quiet places.
But keep your eyes open wide.
The moment becomes the prize.
Before you know it.
You're running hand in hand in rapture.
Keep your eyes open wide.
The moment becomes the prize.
Make your way to me.
We are invincible. Tonight.
Morning never meant. More of a reason.
To feel alive. To feel this.
Breath in the sunset. I want to feel this.
Running through my veins.
We own the sky. We own the sky.
We are invincible tonight.
We are looking back.
On everything we used to be.
But you're still grabbing on.
Holding close to me.
I've spent long nights awake.
Worrying about you.
Cause I know how hard it is for you. To feel alive.
Please tell me. Please tell me.
How to live this moment.
Hard enough to feel it.
How to love every second.
Like I'll never need a second.
Like I'll never need a second again.
We are looking back.
On everything we used to be.
But you're still grabbing on.
Holding close to me.
I've spent long nights awake.
Worrying about you.
Cause I know how hard it is for you. To feel alive again.
I've always said that I'm not good at putting feelings into words.
But I'm still here. And in the morning. I'll be holding you.
Scarlet ribbons float away
She lets down her hair
Polished, lips that tear
Your heart from, your chest
All we are looking
All we are looking found
I've found
Young love, nursing an old soul.
I'll lay my pride down
I am still for you
And with a heart of gold
I am still for you
I'll see them looking
I'll see them looking
There hearts have broken
They're free
They die for you
Darling, when we dance
And you sparkle
My prize
Kiss me with that look in your eye
so they know that your mine
Beg love, take mercy
Filthy is only skin deep
Beg love, take mercy
Filthy is only skin deep
Mercy, mercy on me
I'll lay my pride down
I am still for you
And with a heart of gold
Hell is empty, they're surrounding us here,
Back from the grave for better or for worse you'd say,
Without remorse I am alive and living out,
Living out my curse, living my curse. x2
I will never breathe life again, death is my only friend,
I'm the devil that makes this hell,
Will you survive no man could tell.
In my hand I hold the world (I am death)
A stage for all (the collector of life)
Life stories told when you die what
Will be yours (I am death)
A trail of lies that will never be heard (the collector)
In my hand I hold the world.
My words decay with every single breath I take,
So breathe it in hopes to ruin your lungs from within.
I am death collector of life,
I am revenge the thief in the night.
The thief in the night. x2
In my hand I hold the world,
A stage for all life stories told,
When you die what will be yours,
A trail of lies that will never be heard.
I've carried this out for way to long
I'm sick of singing these tragic songs
It's been days since I could open up my eyes
Open up my eyes
Every waking moment's another passing by
Passing by
I'm left stranded on my own again
Empty handed, in need of amends
Broken, battered, abused my friend
Or could you not recall that name?
Pretend that you ever shared a world with me
I feel like living the dying dream
The one where you wake up with me
Pull the covers up with no light to see
Is this all I have to say
About anything anymore?
I'm just trying to keep myself on my feet
Keep living in the consciousness of this
Live with this
I have to die from it
How could you live like this?
Live like this
This is my take back
This is my final mark
I'm not this useless person
I'm not this tired lonely fuck
Every moment spent is just another of regret
Different words could be said
With our spirits lifted
When every night spent
Couldn't make a dent
Another passerby
Is this all I have to say
About anything anymore?
I'm just trying to keep myself on my feet
Keep living in the consciousness of this
Is this all I have anymore?
I'm holding myself up
I'm just trying to keep myself on my feet
Keep living in the consciousness of this
I'll pull myself out
Out of the wreckage of my life
I'll hold myself up
Over dark and horrid skies
I'll pull myself out
Out of the wreckage of my life
I'll hold myself up
Over dark and horrid skies
When every night spent
(I'll pull myself out)
We couldn't make, couldn't make a dent
(I'll hold myself up)
When every night spent
(I'll pull myself out)
Call it done and easy. over and over.
But we'll never learn.
How to slow down. how to slow down.
Done easy. over and over.
But we'll never learn.
How to slow down. not to slow down.
Until you cower like a lie gone wrong.
Just say the words. and let me know.
We can't survive. if we both let go.
There might be love. buried somewhere.
Far beneath our pride. it's worth finding.
If you'll breath life. in it with me.
You told me all that you've known. are the lonely places.
So lets get closer now.
We're holding on to. the things we need the most.
Hold on as close as we can.
You're pushing. all the doubts.
From my head. like you need them.
But you paint yourself the victim.
You're pulling. at my hand.
Like you're ready to fall.
But there's no stopping this at all.
There's so much to say. but nothing comes out right.
It's best that we leave it. to our movements.
We move so well. your lips speak no words.
It's best that we leave it.
It's best that we leave it.
Behind close doors.
Just say the words. and let me know.
We cam't survive. if we both let go.
You told me all that you've known. are the lonely places.
So lets get closer now.
We're holding on to. the things we need the most.
Hold on as close as we can.
This time. we'll keep it all to ourselves.
We're keeping it quiet. this time.
We'll keep it to ourselves.
Though we know this isn't right. at all.
You're pushing. all the doubts.
From my head. like you need them.
But you paint yourself the victim.
You're pulling. at my hand.
Like you're ready to fall.
You have lost yourself
You well never be found
We'll cut from ear to ear
We will open you up
You have that look upon your face
The kind that razor's can trace
Can we cut to the point?
Can we cut to the point?
Where (where) have (have) the carving knives gone?
Where (where) have (have) the carving knives gone?
We will leave you underground
Screaming up so loud, you won't make a sound
We will leave you underground
Screaming up so loud, you won't make a sound
Last chance
Last breath
Last word
Tell them a prayer
Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
"Don't panic," she said, "just hold tight,
To the sky my love. We're the lonely ones."
We are the lonely ones.
I'm sure that there will be no sleep tonight.
So I'll just keep filling up my lungs.
Save for a few long nights,
And a slow dance with a bad idea.
I've never been more buried in trouble,
Than the day that I met you.
Motherfucking yeah.
You know I've always said,
Your mistakes are something you can't forget.
And when your past comes back around,
You gotta face it.
How could it feel so right,
When I'm doing you wrong?
How could it feel so right,
When I'm doing you wrong?
You know I've always said,
Your mistakes are something you can't forget.
And when your past comes back around.
You gotta face it.
How could it feel so right,
When I'm doing you wrong?
How could it feel so right,
When I'm doing you...
All of the lines we cross,
Lets leave this place behind
destroy everything inside
Whats it gonna take
to make you feel alive(feel alive)
Whats it gonna take
to open up your eyes
TO OPEN UP YOUR EYES
Its time to get out of this town
This torture(this torture)
Your fear holds you down
Move forward
Move forward
Your silent sound
These words
Don't always come out right
But i feel that
were wasting time
Letting go of our troubles were still holding tight
These words
don't always come out right
But I feel that were wasting time
Are we wasting our time
Are we still holding tight
It was all we felt
To look towards the sky
To breathe in the air
To be in the shadows
When the day ends
Youve lost your pride
Wont you give up
Im not giving up
til the angels die
we look to the sky
To the skies
To the skies
We've all had our enemies
We'll leave the past behind
I don't feel like losing sleep
I cant see it in my eyes
Weve all had our enemies
I don't feel like losing sleep
I cant see it in my eyes
You can see it in my eyes
you can see it in my eyes
These words
Don't always come out right
But i feel that
were wasting time
Letting go of our troubles were still holding tight
all These words
don't always come out right
But I feel that were wasting time
Are we wasting our tiem
Are we still holding tight
Are we wasting our tiem
Are we still holding tight
Ill leave my heart here
by your bedside
If you swear that your eyes wont stray
to be honest, open, and hoping,
To find the words to say
Ill leave my heart here
by your bedside
If you swear that your eyes wont stray
Don't let this slip away.
Breathe it in. Hold it in.
You will miss it when it's gone.
You have so much to say.
So listen to yourself.
We are nothing. If we suffer alone.
Remember where you came from.
Will our hearts still beat in time.
Do we fear living our lives alone.
After everything is said and done.
Will you make it on your own.
After all the times.
That we've lost sleep.
Are you still trying.
Are you giving up on us.
I've yet to figure it out.
It's something that I just don't understand.
Are you giving up on us.
We're losing reason. Keeping our hearts. Hidden.
We are nothing. If we suffer alone.
Remember where you came from.
Will our hearts still beat in time.
Do we fear living our lives alone.
After everything is said and done.
You will make it on your own.
After all the times.
That we've lost sleep.
Are you still trying.
Are you giving up on us.
I've yet to figure it out.
It's something that I just don't understand.
Are you giving up.
Are you giving up on us.
This withered silence. Is making me sick.
You have one chance. You're making me sick.
You have one chance. Don't let us slip away.
Open your hands. Revel in promises.
Of living forever. Of living for today.
But we are nothing. If we suffer alone.
We are nothing. If we suffer alone.
A hard fall
On a rough path
Her body her betrayer
She spoke as she fought back
To lose is to lose
But I'll never die for you
And now I'm saved with
The flare, the spark, the alarm
I am willing this
I'm not alone in this fight
You've made a curse of it
There's no excuse for the trite
Not one
Would they believe
The things we've done
This gives my sleepless nights
A reason to be home
They're crying out
As they make their way down
In the midst of all this drowning
What will come of us
Swing now hard
The reveille sounds
Was it worth it
They set the fire
With eyes so wide
A sudden sense of comfort
Washed over them at once
They're crying out
As they make their way down
In the midst of it
What became
Swing now hard
With eyes so wide
What a brilliant plan. to steal a heart.
Carve your name. carve your name.
She will learn it well. you let her down.
You let her down. so gently.
And now she looks. only straight ahead.
Lie to me. lie to me.
Tell me you never expected. her to leave.
And it cuts you deep. right where you wanted.
And it cuts you deep. where it hurts the most.
I hope it cuts you deep. where it hurts the most.
But the sad thing is. it's just what you fucking wanted.
And now she looks. only straight ahead.
Lie to me. lie to me.
Tell me you never expected. her to leave...
I'm breathing the life back into love.
She's coming around.
I'm breathing the life back into love.
She's waking up.
And the same graceful wind. that carried her to me.
Will turn cold on you. will bring you to your knees.
When the stage caves in. what part of you will live.
And who would pay to watch you die.
Tell me you never expected. her to leave.
I'm breathing the life back into love.
She's coming around.
I'm breathing the life back into love.
She's waking up.
I've been looking. for you in my dreams.
He waits while the city is sleeping
She takes her time
He lost every ounce of patience
She takes her time
But they're catching on
They're Watching us
Inside these walls
The ghosts still talk
Of death and beauty
Of times long since past
Inside these walls
The ghosts still talk
Of death and beauty
Of times long since past
Don't forget your past
Through the window
Watching as he walks away
This time I've met my match
Through the window
Watching as he walks away
This time I've met my match
We're wrapped inside
Each other's eyes
In this place that we call home
Lets take our time
And try to find
The things we love to fear the most
Fear the most
This time you've let me go
There's nothing left for us
We'll keep our hearts to ourselves
This time you've let me go
There's nothing left for us
We'll keep our hearts to ourselves
This time you've let me go
There's nothing left for us
We'll keep our hearts to ourselves
Our lives are theirs now.
And they've buried our love.
They thought that we'd forget.
They thought that we'd forget.
Come alive.
Just to see her face again.
If not in this life.
Than the next.
You spoke it oh so well.
After all the ink is gone.
The letters fade and the page goes on.
After all the ink is gone.
The letters fade.
Out falls the sun.
Giving proof. to our hope.
We will echo. forever.
Dear general. reflect glory.
We will find a way to their hearts.
Reflect glory on us.
We will fight our way tho their hearts.
We are nameless. in this place
And should the wind blow.
Let it carry us home.
We are nameless. in this place
And should the wind blow.
Let it carry us home.
We are alive.
You'll never see this place again.
Let them know you are love.
After all the ink is gone.
The letters fade and the page goes on.
After all the ink is gone.
The letters fade.
Out falls the sun.
Giving proof. to our hope.
We will echo. forever.
We will find a way. to speak on our regrets.
That we've been holding inside ourselves.
The storm has arrived at the worst of times.
There's nothing on the ground.
But it's all coming down.
For now we'll lay here.
Trying to see. when we fall from this winter.
What will be underneath.
This is our chance. to give all we have.
We are nameless. in this place
And should the wind blow.
Let it carry us home.
We are nameless. in this place
And should the wind blow.
Couldn't stay buried you understand what good am I as a dead man
I started cursing death from the mouth so just spit me out
Revival blood bath, sing it out loud
I'm the great last hope for the entire world
Dug my way out of the earth
Time to rise, reclaim my worth.
Searching for a reason to live again
We're moving forward and the lives we lead are ours to keep
Searching for a reason in everything
We're moving forward and we'll find our way.
Damn, destroy rebuild and take control. x2
Destroy rebuild and take control.
Oh I'm back to take you underground
Drag you into the hell I found
Once was lost and I still feel bound
Hands like a noose I'll drag you down.
Revival blood bath, sing it out loud
I'm the great last hope for the god damn world.
Searching for a reason to live again
We're moving forward and the lives we lead are ours to keep
Searching for a reason in everything
We're moving forward and we'll find our way.
Once was lost and I still feel bound
My hands like a noose I'll drag you down.
Destroy rebuild, destroy rebuild and take control,
This is not at all what it seems.
There is no sorrow,
Or regret for the choices that we've made
You'll be gone like them tomorrow.
God Damn!
I'm no killer!
They'll be looking
They'll be searching for days,
To find a trace of your body.
I remember the suggestions you made
When you drove to my house.
Where you looking for trouble?
I know all those houses look the same.
We'll keep on moving with the wind at our backs.
I don't want to see you fall apart
When they come to get you.
(You're safe and sound)
I know we can have at this head start
And I'm sure we'll pull through.
(I'll keep you hidden with me)
Tell me that we'll make it out alive
I know this desert has got it's ghosts
I know it's just a matter
A matter of time
Before they find us
Oh! My! My!
Oh! Hell yes!
You'll be buried in your party dress.
I'll hide my face from the sun.
And the fire wont stop,
Fire wont stop me.
You're not my usual
My usual
Usual victim
Well keep on moving with the wind at our back
I don't want to see you fall apart
When they come to get you.
(You're safe and sound)
I know we can have at this head start
And I'm sure we'll pull through.
(I'll keep you hidden with me)
Oh! My! My!
Oh! Hell yes!
You'll be buried in your party dress.
I'll hide my face from the sun.
And the fire wont stop,
Fire wont stop me.
Oh! My! My!
As I get closer to the light.
My eyes burn blind,
Black and white. x2
I can see the light burning bright.
My eyes can see the light
It's like waiting to die, x2
While feeling alive for the first time
Watching everything just pass you by, everything pass by.
I can feel it in my bones, x2
Can you feel it in your own?
One last glimpse through hollow rounds
Illuminate and fill with sound, and now these eyes are burning bright,
Black and white, x2
It's like waiting to die, x2
While feeling alive for the first time
Watching everything just pass you by, everything pass by.
You feel my eyes like you feel the sea,
My heart is here, and it's all I need,
You feel my eyes like you feel the tides,
My heart is here, awake alive.
Breathe, breathe into me,
Breathe, speak friend, revived again.
It's like waiting to die,
While feeling alive for the first time (breathe into me)
Watching everything just pass you by (breathe into me)
You feel my eyes (it's like waiting to die)
Like you feel the tides (breathe into me)
My heart is here (watching everything just pass you by)
I am no stranger to loss.
I've seen more than my eyes can bare.
We are both love and hate.
Lead by hearts and taken like dust to the air.
Our paths may crawl like vines.
Held high and left for the wind to taste.
But our names mean nothing if we fail.
And we will run ourselves withered and raw.
Make the earth shake.
We will.
Make the earth shake.
Make the earth.
Make the earth.
Light it up
a flash so thin
through a sky so grey
look away
our faces turned
its a plea to the ear
its a walk to my hands
its a fall to my feet
to find sympathy
now you're lost
in the dark
and nowhere to be found
but i know you'll be waiting there for us
his fortunes
our futures at hand
we light
light up like cities in the night
light this
like a happy scene
its a set
its all it takes
to trick our eyes
and fabricate
honest
honest goodbyes
now you're lost
in the dark
and nowhere to be found
but i know you'll be waiting there for us
our lives light up at times like these
at times
our lives
light up like cities in the night
his fortunes
our futures at hand
we light
light up like cities in the night
like rivers
we splinter
you don't have to leave
I speak for generations (sing on)
Sick of procrastination (sing on)
History as an open wound (sing on)
Burn it down, lets start a new.
So many times I've wrote down and yet I still stumble to the ground
Do they know I'm here, do they hear the sound of bleeding out loud?
Dig up the earth beneath my feet
Remove the ground tell me what you see
A heart that calls for sincerity
You know you hear this, our final plea.
And now the chorus sounds,
He's bleeding out. x2
A funeral for dead at heart (sing on)
Dead wrong right from the start (sing on)
But is it me, foot in the grave (sing on)
No time for feeling brave.
So think back to the start
Did we have our chance, or did they pull us apart?
Are words, a thing of the past?
Don't let them have the last, no!
Dig up the earth beneath my feet
Remove the ground tell me what you see
A heart that calls for sincerity
You know you hear this, our final plea.
We are the voice of a thousand, sing on, sing on.
To the skies, bring down the heavens, sing on, sing on.
We are the voice of a thousand,
And you will hear our song!
Dig up the earth beneath my feet
We are the voice of a thousand strong
A heart that calls for sincerity
We are the voice of a thousand strong.
Dig up the earth beneath my feet
We are the voice of a thousand strong
A heart that calls for sincerity.
Can you still hear my voice
Through the wind, and through the rain
It's looks like I won't get the chance to say this again
You should run, you should hide, you should put yourself in your pride. x2
No one listened, no one cared, no one heard my words so prepare
Seas will dry up, the air will fail, and everyone's heart will become stale.
Oh, nobody, nobody knows the hell you've brought upon yourselves,
You must accept the end is here.
To heavy to carry it all on my shoulders
I'm being crushed by the weight of it all,
No time to tell myself it's over
I'm being crushed by the weight of it all.
I don't have enough in me to hold the weight of the world
Time will end, clocks will cease
History repeat and repeat
Let's say, that today you're the reason, it ends this way
The earth stood still refusing to take its turn
The earth stood still stopping here and here we all burn
The earth stood still laying here deciding death for its worth
The earth stood still discovering life's endless curse.
To heavy to carry it all on my shoulders
I'm being crushed by the weight of it all,
