Under the floor
Between me and the door
There's a presence
I cannot deny
It's under the car
Between me and the stars
I see glory filling up the sky
And I'm certain that he hears me
He listens even as I sing my song
I'm emphatic that he's near me
And I can see his touch in everything here
Deep is the soul
Is the space I control
Is the one thing I can call as mine
Deeper the cold
When he's far from my soul
Only the losers win
They've got nothing to prove
They'll leave the world with nothing to lose
You can laugh at the weirdos now
Wait till wrongs are right
They'll be the ones with nothing to hide
'Cause I've been thinking, thinking
I've got a plan to lose it all
I've got a contract pending on eternity
If I haven't already given it away
I've got a plan to lose it all
I've been the burnout kid
I've been the idiot
I'll turn the other cheek to be hit
You can take what you want from me
Empty me till I'm depleted
I'll be around if I'm ever needed
I've been thinking, thinking
I've got a plan to lose it all
I've got a contract pending on eternity
If I haven't already given it away
I've got a plan to lose it all
I wrote this song for you
To show how I'm selling out
I'll take the benefit of the doubt
Augustine
Just woke up with a broken heart
All this time
He's never been awake before
At thirty-one
His whole world is a question mark
All this time
He's never been awake before
Watching dreams that he once had
Feed the flame inside his head
In a quiet desperation of the emptiness he says...
"There's got to be something more
Than what I'm living for
I'm crying out to You"
Augustine
All his fears keep falling out
All this time
He's never been awake before
Finding now
His old dreams aren't panning out
All this time
He's never been awake before
But he's mad to be alive
And he's dying to be met
In a quiet desperation of the emptiness he says...
"Hey, I give it all away
Nothing I was holding back remains
Hey, I give it all away
It was a beautiful letdown
When I crashed and burned
When I found myself alone
Unknown and hurt
It was a beautiful letdown
The day I knew
That all the riches this world had to offer me
Would never do
In a world full of bitter pain
And bitter doubts
I was trying so hard to fit in
Fit in, until I found out
I don't belong here (I don't belong)
I don't belong here (I don't belong)
I will carry a cross and a song
Where I don't belong
I don't belong
It was a beautiful letdown
When You found me here
Yeah, for once in a rare blue moon
I see everything clear
I'll be a beautiful letdown
That's what I'll forever be
And though it may cost my soul
I'll sing for free
We're still chasing our tails
In the rising sun
In our dark water planet still spinning
In a direction no one wins
No one's won.
See, I don't belong here (I don't belong)
Well, I don't belong here, I don't belong
I will carry a cross
With a song where I don't belong
I don't belong
I don't belong here (I don't belong)
No, I don't belong here, I don't belong
I'm gonna set side
And set sail
For the kingdom come, kingdom come
Your kingdom come
Won't you let me down, yeah
Let my foolish pride forever let me down
Ah, Easy living, you're not much like the name
Easy dying, you look just about the same
Would you please take me off your list
Easy living please c'mon and let me down
We are a beautiful letdown
Painfully uncool
The church of the dropouts
The losers, the sinners, the failures, and the fools
What a beautiful letdown
Are we salt in the wound
Hey, let us sing one true tune
I don't belong here (I don't belong)
It feels like I don't belong here, yeah
It goes like I don't belong here
I don't belong (I don't belong)
Won't you let me down (I don't belong)
C'mon and let me down (I don't belong)
You always let me down (I don't belong)
So glad that I'm let down (I don't belong)
C'mon and let me down (I don't belong)
'Cause I don't belong here
Won't you let me down!
I wish I had what I needed
To be on my own
'Cause I feel so defeated
And I'm feeling alone
And it all seems so helpless
And I have no plans
I'm a plane in the sunset
With nowhere to land
And all I see
It could never make me happy
And all my sand castles
Spend their time collapsing
Let me know that You hear me
Let me know Your touch
Let me know that You love me
And let that be enough
It's my birthday tomorrow
No one here could know
I was born this Thursday
22 years ago
And I feel stuck
Watching history repeating
Yeah, who am I?
Just a kid who knows he's needy
Let me know that You hear me
Let me know Your touch
Let me know that You love me
Monday found me on my knees again
Breathing you in
To blur the lines that mark where I begin
And where you end
No use in trying to pretend
Come take me again
Cause rumor has it I'm not who I've been
Come define me
What can we do
If the rumors are true?
I turn everything over
I turn myself in
I turn everything over
I turn myself in
There's nothing left of me to defend
I turn everything over
I turn myself in
The evidence convicts the hollow man
After looking inside
To my dismay I find I'm just one of them
Cause I'm an already but not yet resurrected fallen man
Come break this limbo
And I know you know just who I've been
Come define me
Rumor has it you love me
Rumor has it the world spins upside down
Rumor has it my only hope is you
And the rumors are true
It's a long way from Miami to LA
It's a longer way from yesterday
To where I am today
It's a long way from my thoughts
To what I'll say
It's a long, long way from paradise
To where I am today
All that's in my head
Is in Your hands
It's a long way from
The moon up to the sun
It's a longer road ahead of me
The road that I've begun
Stop to think of all the
Time I've lost
Start to think of all the
Bridges that I've burned
That must be crossed
Over, over, over
Take me over
I've been poison
I've been rain
I've been fooled again
I've seen ashes
Shine like chrome
Someday I'll see home
Home, home
I can see the stars
From way down here
But I can't fall asleep
Behind the wheel
It's a long way from the
Shadows in my cave
Up to Your reality to
Watch the sunlight taking over
Over, over, over
Take me over
I've been poison
I've been rain
I've been fooled again
I've seen ashes
Shine like chrome
Someday I'll see home
There's a fracture in the color bar
In the backseat of a parked car
By the liquor store where the streetlight
Keep you company til the next night
In the same town, there's the same scar
In the same glow of the liquor store
By the freeway, where the headlight
Keep her company til the next night
(chorus)
Oh! Gravity!
Why can't we seem to keep it together?
Sons of my enemies,
Why can't we seem to keep it together?
In the back room of the pentagon
There's a thin man with a line drawn
With a red jaw and a red bite
Watch the headline on the next night
(chorus)
Oh! Gravity!
Why can't we seem to keep it together?
Sons of my enemies,
Why can't we seem to keep it together?
Why this tragedy?
Why can't we seem to keep it together?
Oh! Gravity!
Why can't we seem to pull it together?
In the fallout, the fallout
We found out the hype won't get you through
We're connected, connected
I meant it, the hype won't get you through
Daisy, give yourself away
Lookup at the rain
The beautiful display
Of power and surrender
Giving us today
And she gives herself away
Rain, another rainy day
Comes up from the ocean
Give herself away
She comes down easy
On rich and dead the same
And she gives herself away
Let it go
Daisy, Let it go
Open up your fist
This fallen world
Doesn't hold your interest
It doesn't hold your soul
Daisy, let it go
Pain, give yourself a name
Call yourself contrition
Avarice of blame
Giving isn't easy
Neither is the rain
When she gives herself away
Daisy, why another day?
Why another sunrise
Who will take the blame
For all redemptive motion
And every rainy day
When he gives himself away
Let it go
Daisy, let it go
Open up your fist
This fallen world
It doesn't hold your interest
It doesn't hold your soul
Daisy, let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
And you let it go, go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go, go
Let it go
With blankness staring back at me
And gleaming from the pages, I feel the fear of apathy
Gripping me, pushing me on top of everything
In the corner with a view, I turn off the fluorescent tubes
This is the bomb that I've been waiting for, living for
You've finally lit the fuse that's in my head
Yes, you've finally lit the fuse that's in my head
With nothingness on top of me, bleeding from my folder
You can stop the emptiness, don't let it take me over
I've been sinking now, further into nothing
I've been waiting long, longer than for something
This is the bomb that I've been waiting for, living for
You've finally lit the fuse that's in my head
Yes, you've finally lit the fuse that's in my head
And you've finally lit the fuse that's in my head
Does it have to start with a broken heart
Broken dreams and bleeding parts
We were young and world was clear
But young ambition disappears
I swore it would never come to this
The average, the obvious
I'm still discontented down here
I'm still discontented
If we've only got one try
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
Then before I die
I want to burn out bright
A spark ignites
In time and space
Limping through this human race
You bite and claw your way back home
But you're running the wrong way
The future is a question mark
Of kerosene and electric sparks
There's still fire in you yet
Yeah there's still fire in you!
I keep cleaning up the mess I've made
I won't run away
Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
Up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are
And who you could be
Between how it is
And how it should be, yeah
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
Up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
To lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Spirit, fall fresh on me
Spirit, fall fresh on me
Hear my cry, fill my life
I won't need anything but you
I found all that I want, all that I longed for in you
I found all that I want, all that I longed for in you
Wasted time is when I'm far from your truth
I've found all that I want, all that I long for in you
Spirit, come be my joy
Spirit, come be my joy
Be my song, fill my lungs
I wont need anything but you
I found all that I want, all that I longed for in you
I found all that I want, all that I longed for in you
Wasted time is when I'm far from your truth
I've found all that I want, all that I long for in you
I found all that I want, all that I longed for in you
I found all that I want, all that I longed for in you
Wasted time is when I'm far from your truth
I've found all that I want, all that I long for in you
All that I want, all that I long for in you
I found all that I want, all that I longed for in you
I found all that I want, all that I longed for in you
I've found all that I want, all that I long for is you
Everything I know
Tells me she's everything
That I could hope for
Everything I know
Tells me I can't let her walk away
I took my time to find the words
I hope she feel'd the same
'Cause I want someone to share my smile
To share the pain
To be there when the sea turns gray
To share the joy
For better or worse
And I thought that it might have been her
I thought that it might have been her
Wonder if she knows
The way I saw her soul
Light up my life
Wonder if she knows
You've been living life like it's a sequel
and your already bored with the plot
as if the cast and the score
are more money than before
But the script and the backdrop are stock
We've got the rest of our lives to regret
All the words that were said here tonight
but i bet that the morning, in the morning
You'll find us in bloom
So C'mon C'mon C'mon
Let's not be our parents
Oh C'mon C'mon C'mon
Let's follow this trough
Oh C'mon C'mon C'mon
Everything's waiting
We will rise with the wings of the dawn
When everythings new
Ever size up with summer sun?
Let these songs awaken the dawn
Let us beathe every breath
like a breath to be kept
Let us breathe it all in till it's gone
We've got the rest of our lives to live out
All these dreams we stay up tonight talking about
In the morning, start hoping, to not be too soon
So C'mon C'mon C'mon
Let's abandon this darkness
Oh C'mon C'mon C'mon
Let's follow this through
Yeah so C'mon C'mon C'mon
Everything's waiting
We will live like fire and gold
I tasted fire, I'm ready to come alive.
I can't just shut it up, and fake that I'm alright.
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife.
I'll let it burn the way the sunlight burns my skin.
The way I feel inside, the way the day begins.
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the other side
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
Cuz everyday, the world is made a chance to change,
but I feel the same and I wonder why
would I wait till I die to come alive
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife.
Yeah
I still believe we could live forever
You and I we begin forever now
Forever now, Forever
I still believe in us together
You and I we're here together now, Forever now
Forever now, or never now
Cuz every day, the world is made a chance to change,
but I feel the same and I wonder why
would I wait till I die to come alive
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife.
Everyday a choice is made
Everyday I choose my fate and I wonder why
would I wait till I die to come alive
to come alive
Everyday, everyday, everyday I still feel the same
and I wonder why would I wait till I die to come alive
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife
I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife
Yeah
Yeah
Nothing but a chemical in my head
It's nothing but laziness
'Cause I don't wanna read the book
I'll watch the movie
'Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else my age
I think I'd rather play around
And I think I'd rather watch tv
'Cause I don't wanna face my fears
I'll watch the movie
'Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else
Because I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna see this now
It's all wrong but it's allright
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna study now
It's all wrong but it's allright
I don't know what love is
And I don't know who I am
And if I ever wanna find out
I'll watch the movie
'Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else my age
I don't wanna change the world
And I don't wanna be someone
And I don't wanna write the book
I'll make the movie
'Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else
There's just two ways to lose yourself in this life
And neither way is safe
In my dreams I see visions of the future
But today we have today
And where will I find You?
Where will I find You?
In the economy of mercy
I am a poor and begging man
In the currency of grace
Is where my song begins
In the colors of Your goodness
In the scars that mark Your skin
In the currency of grace
Is where my song begins
These carbon shells
These fragile dusty frames
House canvases of souls
We are bruised and broken masterpieces
But we did not paint ourselves
And where will I find You?
Where was I when the world was made? (3x)
Where was I?
I'm lost without You here
Yes, I'm lost without You near
I'm lost without You here
You knew my name when the world was made
Hello, good morning, how you do?
What makes your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new
So this is the way that I say I need You
This is the way that I'm
Learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that You and You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
Hello, good morning, how you been?
Yesterday left my head kicked in
I never, never thought that
I would fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad
So this is the way I say I need You
This is the way that I say I love You
This is the way that I say I'm Yours
Everyone I know
Needs love like drugs
Like a common cold
We could never shrug
My baby and me
We're missing the same stuff
We've all got a disease
Deficiency of love
Every day we still try
Every night we still cry
Driving home on the 805
We don't know what we're doing
We do it again
We're just amateur lovers
With amateur friends
I can tell you what you're thinking now
Before you think it you can settle down
We don't know what we're doing
Let's do it again!
Try to play it down
But it never stuck
I tried to bail this town
I'm getting no such luck
When nobody's around
I keep my eyes on the clock
There ain't a cure I've found
In all my times around this block
Everyday we still try
Every night we still cry
We drive it home on the 405
I can tell you what you're thinking now
Before you think it you can settle down
Our lovin' isn't gonna burn us out
Head over here and take me
Head over heels and aching
When I told you I was yours
I was yours
In this life, you're the one place I call home
In this life, you're the feeling I belong
In this life, you're the flower and the thorn
You're everything that's fair in love and war
I'm coming down like a gunshot
In all these battles I've fought
You're the mark I'm aiming for
I was yours
Head over heels
In this life I'm stubborn to the core
In this life I've been burning after more
We both know what these open arms are for
You're everything that's fair
Another day
Another sunrise
Another factory call
Another night
Another sunset
Another freefall
Am I alive?
Am I on purpose?
Within the weakness
Within the weakness...
Spinning out in circles
In circles, in circles
Spinning out in circles
In circles, in circles
Another day
Another lifetime
Another engine stalls
Another line
Another freeway
Another freefall
I've lost all that I wanted to leave
I've lost all that I wanted to be
Don't believe that there's nothing that's true
Don't believe in this modern machine!
The modern machine
When success is equated with excess
The ambition for excess wrecks us
As top of the mind becomes the bottom line
When success is equated with excess
If your time ain't been nothing but money
I start to feel really bad for you, honey
Maybe honey, put your money where your mouth's been running
If your time ain't been nothing but money
I want out of this machine
It doesn't feel like freedom
This ain't my American dream
I want to live and die for bigger things
I'm tired of fighting for just me
This ain't my American dream
When success is equated with excess
When we're fighting for the Beamer, the Lexus
As the heart and soul breath in the company goals
Where success is equated with excess
'Cause baby's always talkin' 'bout a ring
And talk has always been the cheapest thing
Is it true would you do what I want you to
If I show up with the right amount of bling?
Like a puppet on a monetary string
Maybe we've been caught singing
Red, white, blue, and green
But that ain't my America,
You've been having trouble staying asleep
You been waking up at 4:12
You roll the voices over in your head
Then you try to put them neatly on the shelf
You watch the sun rise
You saw the darkness had no choice before the dawn
With your own eyes
And then you broke out laughing from a yawn
You said,
"I'm so sorry I've been so down.
I started doubting things could ever turn around.
And I began to believe that all we are is material.
It's nonsensical."
So you walk outside and everything's new
You're looking at the world with new eyes.
As if you'd never seen a sky before that's blue
As if you've never seen the sky in your whole life
And then the phone rings
As it turns out you are already late
And now you're wondering
Was peace just a temporary state?
You're waiting tables and parking cars
You've been selling cell phones at the shopping mall
And you began to believe that all you are is material
It's nonsensical
I still can't believe that all we are
And that all of our dreams are nothing more than material
Souls aren't built of stone,
Sticks and bones
Four A.M., two hours to go
I'm wearing out a lonely glow
I miss you more than I can know
Here I am, here I am
Won't you keep me?
I've got my hands at redemption's side
Whose scars are bigger than these doubts of mine
I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside
It'll come alive, come alive
With my fist down at your feet
I was running out of mysteries
Insecure and incomplete
Here I am, here I am
Won't you get me?
I've got my hands at redemption's side
Whose scars are bigger than these doubts of mine
I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside
It'll come alive, come alive, alive, come alive
My fears have worn me out
My fears have worn me out
And my fears have worn me out
My fears have worn me, worn me out
I've got my hands at redemption's side
Whose scars are bigger than these doubts of mine
I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside
It'll come alive
I've got my hands at redemption's side
Whose scars are bigger than these doubts of mine
I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside
It'll come alive, come alive
She told him she'd rather fix her makeup
Then try and fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
Even with the cellphone gone
She told him that she believes in living
Bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
And upside down
Don't say so long
You're not that far gone
Don't spin today away
'Cause today will soon be
Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
Just try and prove me wrong
And pretend like you're immortal
She said, "He said, live like no tomorrow"
Everyday we borrow brings us
One step closer to the edge
Infinity
Where's your treasure, where's your hope
If you get the world and lose your soul?
She pretends like she pretends like
She's immortal
Don't say so long
And throw yourself wrong
This could be your big chance to makeup
Today will soon be
Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
The world keeps spinning on
Your going, going
Gone, like summer break is gone
Like Saturday is gone
Just try and prove me wrong
You pretend like you're immortal, you're immortal
We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is immediate
We are so confident
In our accomplishments
Look at our decendence
Gone, like Frank Sinatra
Like Elvis and his Mom
Like Al Pacino's cash
Nothing lasts in this life
My high school dreams are gone
Like my childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that doesn't last for long
Life is more than money
Time was never money
Time was never cash
Life is still more than girls
Life is more than hundred Dollar bills
And roto-tom fills
Life is more than fame
And rock and roll and thrills
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got the information in the information age
But do we know what life is like
Outside of our convenient Lexus cages?
She said, "He said, live like no tomorrow"
Every moment that we borrow
Brings us closer to a God
Who's not short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked
Life is still worth living
Life is still worth living
What's it gonna take
to slow us down
to let the silence spin us around?
What's it gonna take
to drop this town?
We've been spinning at the speed of sound.
Stepping out of those convenience stores
what could we want but more more more?
From the third world
to the corporate core
we are a symphony of modern humanity
If we're adding to the noise
turn off this song
If we're adding to the noise
turn off your stereo, radio, video
I dont know
what they're gonna think of next
genetic engineers of the most high tech
A couple new ways
to fall into debt
I'm a nervous wreck but I'll bet
that that T.V. set
tells us what we've wanted to hear
But none of these sound bites
are coming in clear
From the third world to the corporate ear
There's always something
in the way
There's always something
getting through
but it's not me
it's You, it's You
sometimes ignorance
rings true
but hope is not in
what i know
it's not in me..me
it's in You, it's in You
it's all i know
it's all i know
it's all i know
i find peace when
i'm confused
i find hope when
i'm let down
not in me ... me
in You
it's in you
i hope to lose myself
for good
i hope to find it in the end
not in me ... me
in You
in You
in You
it's all i know
it's all i know
it's all i know
in You
in You
its in You
its in You
there's always something in the way
there's always something getting through
but it's not me
it's You
it's You
Only the losers win
they've got nothing to prove
They'll leave the world with nothing to lose
You can laugh at the weirdos now
Wait till wrongs are right
They'll be the ones with nothing to hide
'Cause I've been thinking, thinking
I've got a plan to lose it all
I've got a contract pending on eternity
If I haven't already given it away
I've got a plan to lose it all
I've been the burnout kid
I've been the idiot
I'll turn the other cheek to be hit
You can take what you want from me
Empty me till I'm depleted
I'll be around if I'm ever needed
I wrote this song for you
To show how I'm selling out
There's just two ways to lose yourself in this life
And neither way is safe
In my dreams I see visions of the future
But today we have today
And where will I find You?
In the economy of mercy
I am a poor and begging man
In the currency of Grace
Is where my song begins
In the colors of Your goodness
In the scars that mark your skin
In the currency of Grace
Is where my song begins
These carbon shells
These fragile dusty frames
House canvases of souls
We are bruised and broken masterpieces
But we did not paint ourselves
And where will I find You?
Where was I when the world was made?
Where was I?
I'm lost without You here
Yes, I'm lost without You near me
I'm lost without You here
I hear you breathing in
Another day begins
The stars are falling out
My dreams are fading now, fading out
I've been keeping my eyes wide open
I've been keeping my eyes wide open
Ooh, your love is a symphony
All around me, running through me
Ooh, your love is a melody
Underneath me, running to me
Oh, your love is a song
The dawn is fire bright
Against the city lights
The clouds are glowing now
The moon is blacking out, is blacking out
So I've been keeping my mind wide open
I've been keeping my mind wide open, yeah
Ooh, your love is a symphony
All around me, running to me
Ooh, your love is a melody
Underneath me, and into me
Oh, your love is a song
Your love is a song
Oh, your love is a song
Your love is strong
With my eyes wide open
I've got my eyes wide open
I've been keeping my hopes unbroken
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, your love is a symphony
All around me, running through me
Ooh, your love is a melody
Underneath me, running to me
Your love is a song
Yeah, yeah
Your love is my remedy
When all I have is on the floor
Divided, divided
When I'm a world away from peace
Behind Your eyes is where I know
I'll find it, I'll find it
Cause who You are defines my dreams
You already take me there
Heaven in the here and now
When I'm a broken-hearted man
Complacent and tired
When I've been knocked out of the race
I've been a fool for long enough
To fight it, to fight it
It's in Your arms I find my place
You meet me where I am
Forgive where I am
Where I lose myself in grace
(Where I'm lost and found)
I want to lose myself in grace
Let Your love reign down all over me
All attempts have failed
All my heads are tails
She's got teary eyes
I've got reasons why
I'm losing ground and gaining speed
I've lost myself or most of me
I'm headed for the final precipice
But you haven't lost me yet
No, you haven't lost me yet
I'll sing until my heart caves in
No, you haven't lost me yet, yet
These day pass me by
I dream with open eyes
Nightmares haunt my days
Visions blur my nights
I'm so confused
What's true of false
What's fact or fiction after all
I feel like I'm an apparition's pet
But you haven't lost me yet
No, you haven't lost me yet
I'll run until my heart caves in
No, you haven't lost me yet
If it doesn't break, if it doesn't break, if it doesn't break
If it doesn't break your heart, it isn't love
No, if it doesn't break your heart, it's not enough
It's when you're breaking down with your insides coming out
That's when you find out what your heart is made of
And you haven't lost me yet
No, you haven't lost me yet
I'll sing until my heart caves in
No, you haven't lost me yet
Flowers cut and brought inside
Black cars in a single line
Your family in suits and ties
And you're free
The ache I feel inside
Is where the life has left your eyes
I'm alone for our last goodbye
But you're free
I remember you like yesterday, yesterday
I still can't believe you're gone, oh...
I remember you like yesterday, yesterday
And until I'm with you, I'll carry on
Adrift on your ocean floor
I feel weightless, numb, and sore
A part of you in me is torn
And you're free
I woke from a dream last night
I dreamt that you were by my side
Reminding me I still had life
In me
I'll carry on
Every lament is a love song
Yesterday, yesterday
I still can't believe you're gone
Feeling like a refugee
Like it don't belong to me
The colors flash across the sky
This air feels strange to me
Feeling like a tragedy
I take a deep breath and close my eyes
One last time
One last time
Storms on the wasteland
Dark clouds on the plains again
We were born into the fight
But I'm not sentimental
This skin and bones is a rental
And no one makes it out alive
Yeah
Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
Yeah
Feels like we're just waiting, waiting
While are hearts are just breaking, breaking
Feels like we've been fighting against the tide
I wanna see the earth start shaking
I wanna see a generation
Finally waking up inside
Yeah
Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
A world where I belong
This body's not my own
This world is not my own
But I still can hear the sound
Of my heart beating out
So let's go boys, sing it loud
And on the final day I die
I want to hold my head up high
I want to tell You that I tried
To live it like a song
And when I reach the other side
I want to look You in the eye
And know that I've arrived
In a world where I belong
In a world where I belong
In a world where I belong
Where I belong
Where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah
Where I belong
Yeah!
I still believe we can live forever
You and I we begin forever now
Forever now
Forever
I still believe in us together
You and I we're here together now
Together now
Forever now
Forever now
Forever now
Forever
Twenty-four oceans
Twenty-four skies
Twenty-four failures
And twenty-four tries
Twenty-four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
With twenty-four drop outs
At the end of the day
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing 'Spirit
Take me up in arms with you'
And I'm not who I thought I was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing 'Spirit
Take me up in arms with you'
There's twenty-four reasons
To admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses
Still twenty-four strong
See, I'm not copping out
Not copping out
Not copping out
When you're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh, I am the second man
Oh, oh, I am the second man now
Oh, I am the second man now
And you're raising these
Twenty-four voices
With twenty-four hearts
All of my symphonies
In twenty-four parts
But I want to be one today
Centered and true
I'm singing 'Spirit
Take me up in arms with you'
You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh, I am the second man
Oh, oh, I am the second man now
Oh, I am the second man now
And you're raising the dead in me, yeah
I wanna see miracles
To see the world change
Wrestled the angel
For more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm singing 'Spirit
Take me up in arms with you'
And you're raising the dead in me
Twenty-four oceans
With twenty-four hearts
All of my symphonies
With twenty-four parts
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing 'Spirit
Take me up in arms with you'
And you're raising the dead in me
I'm not copping out
Been fighting things that I can't see in
Like voices coming from the inside of me and
Like doing things I find hard to believe in
Am I myself or am I dreaming?
I've been awake for an hour or so
Checking for a pulse but I just don't know
Am I a man when I feel like a ghost?
The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes
No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
A steering wheel don't mean you can drive
A warm body don't mean I'm alive
No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
Feels like I travel but I never arrive
I want to thrive not just survive
I come alive when I hear you singing
But lately I haven't been hearing a thing and
I get the feeling that I'm in between
A machine and a man who only looks like me
I try and hide it and not let it show
But deep down inside me I just don't know
Am I a man when I feel like a hoax?
The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes
No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
A steering wheel don't mean you can drive
A warm body don't mean I'm alive
No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
Feels like I travel but I never arrive
I want to thrive not just survive
I'm always close but I'm never enough
I'm always in line but I'm never in love
I get so down but I won't give up
I get slowed down but I won't give up
Been fighting things that I can't see in
Like voices coming from the inside of me and
Like doing things I find hard to believe in
Am I myself or am I dreaming?
No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
A steering wheel don't mean you can drive
A warm body don't mean I'm alive
No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
Feel like I travel but I never arrive
I want to thrive not just survive
Put your hands up open wide
Put your hands up side by side
Age don't matter like
Race don't matter like
Place don't matter like what's inside
Let the kick drum kick one time
Breathe out let your mind unwind
Eyes on the ceiling
Looking for the feeling
Wide open let your own eyes shine
Yeah! it's where the fight begins
Yeah! Underneath the skin
Beneath these hopes and where we've been
Every fight comes from the fight within
I am the war inside
I am the battle line
I am the rising tide
I am the war I fight
Eyes open, open wide
I can feel it like a crack in my spine
I can feel it like the back of my mind
I am the war inside
I get the feeling like we're living in sci-fi
I get the feeling that our weapons are lo–fi
Ain't no killer like pride
No killer like I
No killer like what's inside
Yeah! It's in the air we breathe
Yeah! It's in the blood we bleed
Beneath these dreams and what we've seen
We are the kids of the in-between
I am the war inside
I am the battle line
I am the rising tide
I am the war I fight
Eyes open, open wide
I can feel it like a crack in my spine
I can feel it like the back of my mind
I am the war inside
I am the war inside
I am the war inside
I am the war inside
I am the war inside
Put your hands up open wide
Put your hands up side by side
Age don't matter like
Race don't matter like
Place don't matter like what's inside
Yeah! Every thought or deed
Yeah! Every tree or seed
The big thing come from the little dreams
Everyone of these made by make-believe
I am the war inside
I am the battle line
I am the rising tide
I am the war I fight
Eyes open, open wide
I can feel it like a crack in my spine
I can feel it like the back of my mind
I am the war inside
I am the war inside
I am the war inside
I am the war inside
I am the crook who robs me
I am my own adversary
I am my enemy, I am my enemy
And my mouth is an army
And when the night falls on me
I become anything but free
I get so sick of this, it gets ridiculous
My mouth is an army
The sound in my mouth
It gets so loud, it gets so loud
That little words can't slip out
Words like sorry and I'm so sorry, yeah
I am the tyrant of discourse
I am the beater of the dead horse
I am the irritant, I am the irritant
And my mouth is a brute force
Here we are in another night
Gearing up for a social accident
When we pick pride or pick sides
Or pick fights, my mouth is an army
The sound in my mouth
It gets so loud, it gets so loud
That little words can't slip out
Words like sorry
The sound in my mouth
It gets so loud, it gets so loud
That little words can't slip out
Words like sorry and I'm so sorry, yeah
Where will you find yourself without love?
Give love to someone else, is that enough?
If love is to find yourself are you finding love
Or are you picking sides?
The sound in my mouth
It gets so loud, it gets so loud
It gets so loud, it gets so loud
It gets so loud, it gets so loud
It gets so loud
The sound in my mouth
It gets so loud, it gets so loud
That little words can't slip out
Boom... The Static comes in slow
You can feel it grow
Our stream of conscience flows
Under the streets below
Ooooh
Ooooh
The rivers made of sound
Still running underground
Runs like a silent flood
We run as thick as blood
Can you hear it rise
Up from the ground
Can’t drown it out
Can you hear it now
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound from the discontented mouths
Of a holy nation
We are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
By our own collision
We are the voice of breaking down
The static comes alive
Beneath the broken skies
John Perkins said it right
Love is the final fight
Oooh
Oooh
Let it rise above
Rise above
There is no song
Louder than love
This is the sound of a heartbeat
this is the sound from the discontented mouths
of a holy nation
we are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
by our own collision
we are the voice of breaking down
Down
Down
Down
Let it rise above
Up from the ground
Can't drown it out
Can you hear it now
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound of the discontented mouths
Of a haunted nation, we are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me
This is the sound of the desperation bound
by our condition, we are the voice of breaking down
This is the sound
Sunshine, won't you be my mother
Sunshine, come and help me sing
My heart is darker than these oceans
My heart is frozen underneath
We are crooked souls trying to stay up straight,
Dry eyes in the pouring rain
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine
Two scared little runaways
Hold fast to the break of day light were
The shadow proves the sunshine
Oh Lord, why did you forsake me?
Oh Lord, don't be far away away
Storm clouds gathering beside me
Please Lord, don't look the other way
Crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine
Two scared little runaways
Hold fast to the break of day light were
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine
Yeah Yeah, shine on me
Yeah Yeah, shine on me
Yeah Yeah, shine on me
Yeah Yeah, shine on me
Crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine
Two scared little runaways
Hold fast to the break of day light were
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine
Yeah Yeah, shine on me
Yeah Yeah, shine on me
Yeah Yeah, shine on me
Shine on me,
Is this the New Year or just another night?
Is this the new fear or just another fright?
Is this the new tear or just another desperation?
Is this the finger or just another fist?
Is this the kingdom or just a hit n' miss?
A misdirection, most in all this desperation
Is this what they call freedom?
Is this what you call pain?
Is this what they call discontented fame?
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
From broken arms an' broken noses in the back
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?
You're pushing till you're shoving
You bend until you break
Till you stand on the broken fields where our fathers lay
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
There's nothing here worth saving,
Is no one here at all?
Is there any net left that could break our fall?
It'll be a day like this one
When the sky falls down and the hungry and poor and deserted are found
Are you discontented? Have you been pushing hard?
Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards?
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
Is there nothing left now?
Nothing left to sing
Are there any left who hasn't kiss the enemy?
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?
Does justice never find you? Do the wicked never lose?
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues?
And nothing is okay
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Hey!
(Hey, hey)
Yeah, Yeah (Yeah!)
Yeah, Yeah (Yeah!)
I've got a wound that doesn't heal,
Burning out again,
Burning out again
I've not sure which of me is real,
And I'm alone again,
Burning out again
My hope runs underneath it all,
The day that I'll be home
It won't be long, I belong,
Somewhere past the setting sun
finally free, finally strong,
Somewhere back where I belong
Yeah, Yeah, (Yeah!)
Yeah, Yeah, (Yeah!)
They're selling shares of me again,
But I'm not buying it,
I'm not buying it
My wound goes deeper than the skin,
There's no hiding it,
So I'm not trying it
My hope runs underneath it all,
The day that I'll be home,
It won't be long, I belong,
Somewhere past the setting sun,
finally free, finally strong,
Somewhere back where I belong
Yeah, Yeah, (Somewhere past the setting sun!)
Yeah, Yeah, (Yeah!)
Yeah, Yeah, (Going back where we belong!)
Yeah, Yeah, (I'll find you)
(The setting sun!)
Let the weak say I am strong, and it won't be long,
Let the right say I was wrong, and it won't be wrong,
Let us find where we belong,
Beyond the setting sun,
Beyond the setting sun
Yeah, Yeah
It won't be long, I belong,
Somewhere past the setting sun,
finally free, finally strong,
Somewhere back where I belong
Yeah, Yeah (Yeah, Yeah!)
YEAH!
Got your hands in your pockets, like your ready to pay
Got your eyes out of socket, like your a mile away
Mouth shut, like a locket, like you've nothing to say

I am the crisis
I am the bitter end
I'm gonna gun this down
I am divided
I am the razor edge
there is no easy now
son of sorrow
staring down forever
with an aching view
disenchanted
lets go down together
with the fatal wound
this is the real thing
no rubber bullets now
this is the final bow
my breath avoids me
my chest is in my head
my stomach's upside down
down
son of sorrow
staring down forever
with an aching view
disenchanted
lets go down together
with the fatal wound
with the fatal wound
Maybe I've been the problem, maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself, the outcome feels the same
I've been thinkin maybe I've been partly cloudy, maybe I'm the chance of rain
Maybe I'm overcast, and maybe all my lucks washed down the drain
I've been thinking 'bout everyone, everyone you look so lonely
But when I look at the stars,
when I look at the stars,
when I look at the stars I see someone else
When I look at the stars,
the stars, I feel like myself
Stars lookin at our planet watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder how the chaos in our lives could pass as sane
I've been thinking bout the meaning of resistance, of a hope beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent begin to look like home
I've been thinking bout everyone, everyone you look so empty
But when I look at the stars,
when I look at the stars,
when I look at the stars I see someone else
When I look at the stars,
the stars, I feel like myself
everyone, everyone we feel so lonely
everyone, yeah everyone we feel so empty
When I look at the stars,
when I look at the stars,
when I look at the stars I feel like myself
When I look at the stars, the stars
Here's to the twilight
Here's to the memories
These are my souvenirs
My mental pictures of everything
Here's to the late nights
Here's to the fire light
These are my souvenirs
My souvenirs
I close my eyes and go back in time
I can see you smiling, you're so alive
We were so young, we had no fear
We were so young, we had no idea that life was just happening
Life was just happening
Here's to your bright eyes
Shining like fireflies
These are my souvenirs
The memory of a lifetime
We were wide eyed with everything
Everything around us
We were enlightened by everything
Everything
So I close my eyes and go back in time
I can see you smiling, you're so alive
I close my eyes and go back in time
You were just a child then, and so was I
We were so young, we had no fear
We were so young, we had no idea
That nothing lasts forever
That nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
You and me together
Were always now or never
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
I close my eyes and go back in time
I can see you smiling, you're so alive
I close my eyes and go back in time
You were wide eyed, you were wide eyed
We were so young, we had no fear
We were so young, we had just begun
A song we knew but had never sung
It burned like fire inside our lungs
And life was just happening(nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever)
And life was just happening(nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever)
I wouldn't trade it for anything
Come back and haunt me
Follow me home
Give me a motive
Swallow me whole
They say I've lost it
What could I know
When I'm but a mockery?
I'm so alone
Sooner of later you'll find out
There's a hole in the wall
Today is ours
Condemned to be free
Free to keep breathing
Free to believe
I look to find you
Down on my knees
Oh God, I believe!
Please help me believe
Sooner or later they'll find out
There's a hole in the wall
Sooner or later you'll find out
That you'll dream to be that small
I'm a believer, help me believe
I gave it all away and lost who I am
I threw it all away
With everything to gain
And I'm taking the leap
With dreams of shrinking
I'm on the run
I'm on the ropes this time
Where is my song?
I've lost the song of my soul tonight
Sing it out
Sing it out
Take what is left of me
Make it a melody
Sing it out
Sing out loud
I can't find the words to sing
You'd be my remedy
My song
My song
I'll sing with what's left of me
Where is the sun?
Feel like a ghost this time
Where have you gone?
I need your breath in my lungs tonight
Sing it out
Sing it out
Take what is left of me
Make it a melody
Sing it out
Sing out loud
I can't find the words to sing
You'd be my remedy
My song
My song
I'll sing with what's left of me
I'm holding on
I'm holding on to you
My world is wrong
My world is a lie that's come true
And I fall in love
With the ones that run me through
When all along all I need is you
Sing it out
Sing it out
Take what is left of me
Make it a melody
Sing it out
Sing out loud
I can't find the words to sing
You'd be my remedy
My song
My song
My song
Welcome to the holy city a silver screen
Built with the lens and a low self esteem
A teenagers plea for meaning and means
Were selling the news
See opinions are easier to swallow than facts
The grays instead of the whites and the blacks
If you shoot it too straight they wont come back
Were selling the news
See money speaks volumes louder than words
And virtues with wings maybe not quite at first
But their salaries are paying for the ad not the verbs
Were selling the news
See all men are equal all is for sale
A powerful dog has been chasing his tail
The lowest common denominator prevails
Were selling the news
I want to believe you
I want to believe but everything is in between
The fact is fiction
The fact is fiction
I want to believe you
I want to believe but everything is in between
The fact is fiction
Suspicion is a new religion
America listens the story is told
Of our aim on truth the story unfolds
The ratings determine the story was sold
Were selling the news
Begging the question longer in fear
Stroking the eyes and tickling ears
It's seldom just as it appears
Were selling the news
I want to believe you
I want to believe but everything is in between
The fact is fiction
The fact is fiction
I want to believe you
I want to believe but everything is in between
The fact is fiction
Suspicion is a new religion
I can see your talking heads
On the television set
On the internet they said
That fact is fiction
Suspicion is a new religion
Substance oh substance where have you been
You've been replaced by the masters of spin
who make good looking books and write history in
Were selling the news
The lines start to blur I get so confused
I get shiny new models mixed up with the blues
I get binary code mixed up with abuse
The facts are simply one option to choose
When nothing is sacred there's nothing to lose
When nothing is sacred all is consumed
Were still on the air it must be the truth
Were selling the news
I want to believe you
I want to believe but everything is in between
The fact is fiction
The fact is fiction
I want to believe you
I want to believe but everything is in between
The fact is fiction
I want to believe you
I want to believe but everything I see is greed
The fact is fiction
this is a tune for the poparazzi
The who's who and the so and so's
This is a tune for the graven images
Of Marilyn Monroe
We saw your face on the magazine
We heard your song on the MP3
You're stuck in my head
Stuck in my head
Stuck in my head
You can close your ears and your eyes but
Pop will never leave you alone
Leave me alone with all your social mingle
You try so hard to stay on top
Leave me alone with your little jingle
With your picture perfect pop
We read the article in Seventeen
We saw the video on MTV
This is a tune for the late Nirvana
The teen spirit of rock-and-roll
This is a tune for the velvet Elvis'
On the 90210
I thought my eyes were gonna get off clean
Til I read your lips on the TV screen
You were busy saying things you didn't mean
Now everyone's singing along
With your ridiculous song
You got it stuck
Another couple kids with their heads on top
Just another stranger just another plot
Another track home where the city streets stop
Just another kid with another bored cop
Just another lemon into lemonade job
Just another rust and dust facade
Just another key stuck broken in the lock
Just another scarecrow choking on a cough
Oh come on!
It all feels so typical
Guess I'm looking for a miracle
Rise above it
Rise above it
I don't care what their telling me
We could be what we want to be
Rise above it
Rise above it
Listen up loud listen up listen here
Just because you're running
Doesn't mean that you're scared
Just because it's law doesn't mean it is fair
Never let another tell your soul what to fear
Here we go again give it one more try
Don't believe the system's on your side
Just another lover turned enemy fight
Just another blood and nicotine sky
Oh come on!
It all feels so typical
Guess I'm looking for a miracle
Rise above it
Rise above it
I get so sick of it
feels so counterfeit
I Rise above it
Rise above it
Hear our voices rise
Hear our battle cry
We've been under the curse
With our arms raised high
Hear us sing tonight
Like the last night on earth
We will rise like the tide
Like dead men
Coming back to life
We are rising
Rising
Turn it up now, listen loud and clear
Just because you're present
Doesn't mean you're here
Oh come on!
It all feels so typical
Guess I'm looking for a miracle
Rise above it
Rise above it
A curse this broken
The system's broken
Rise above it
Rise above it
Let's rise above it
We can rise above it
Let's rise above it
Rise above it
I am the sea on a moonless night
Calling falling, slipping tides
I am the leaky, dripping pipes
The endless, aching drops of light
I am the raindrop falling down
Always longing for the deeper ground
I am the broken, breaking seas
Even my blood finds ways to bleed
Even the rivers ways to run
Even the rain to reach the sun
Even my thirsty streams
Even in my dreams
I am restless
I am restless
I am restless
I'm looking for you
I am restless
I run like the ocean to find your shore
I'm looking for you
I am the thorn stuck in your side
I am the one that you left behind
I am the dried up doubting eyes
Looking for the well that won't run dry
Running hard for the other side
The world that I've always been denied
Running hard for the infinite
With the tears of saints and hypocrites
Oh, blood of black and white and gray
Oh, death in life and night in day
One by one by one
We let our rivers run
I am restless
I am restless
I'm looking for you
I am restless
I run like the ocean to find your shore
I'm looking for you
I can hear you breathing
I can feel you leading
More than just a feeling
I can feel you reaching
Pushing through the ceiling
Till the final healing
I'm looking for you
Until the sea of glass we meet
At last completed and complete
Where tide and tear and pain subside
And laughter drinks them dry
I'll be waiting
Anticipating
All that I aim for
What I was made for
With every heartbeat
All of my blood bleeds
Running inside me
Do me a favor
Would you sing this to me slow?
'Cause I'm thinking it's my song
Do me a favor
Would you tell me when to let go?
'Cause I think I'm holding on
Would you do it for me?
'Cause I'm playing for keeps
Tell me tomorrow has come
With open arms
If you say it's time to move on
Then I'll stop holding on
If you say that it's time for moving on
Time for moving on
Do me a favor
Would you tell me which way is up?
'Cause I don't know how to quit
Do me a favor
There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake and in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know You're my only hope
You sing to me of the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
You sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again
And I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know You're my only hope
I give You my empathy, I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back
And I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours, I pray to be only Yours
In this needle and haystack life
The world begins with new born skin
We are right now
You're needle girl in a haystack world
We are right now
You're breathing in the highs and lows
We call it living
In this needle and haystack life
I found miracles there in your eyes
It's no accident we're here tonight
We are once in a lifetime
Don't let go, don't give up hope
All is forgiven
You're breathing in, you're breathing in
We call it living
In this needle and haystack life
I found miracles there in your eyes
It's no accident we're here tonight
We are once in a lifetime
All is not lost, all is not lost
Become who you are
It happens once in a lifetime
In this needle and haystack life
I found miracles there in your eyes
It's no accident we're here tonight
We are once in a lifetime alive
We are once in a lifetime
In this needle and haystack
I tell you where you need to go
Tell you when you'll need to leave
I tell you what you need to know
Tell you who you need to be
But everything inside you knows
There's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words
And you're on fire when he's near you
You're on fire when he speaks
You're on fire burning at these mysteries
Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see, yeah
Give me everything you are
Give me one more chance to be near you, awh, ayh
What everything inside me looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take
When I'm on fire when you're near me
And I'm on fire when you speak
And I'm on fire burning at these
Mysteries, mysteries, mysteries
You're on fire
You're on fire
You're on fire
I'm standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge
Of everything I've never been before
And I've been standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge
And I'm on fire when you're near you
And I'm on fire when you speak
Yeah, I'm on fire burning at these mysteries
These mysteries
These mysteries
Yeah, your mystery
Yeah, your mystery
There's a fracture in the color bar
In the backseat of a parked car
By the liquor store where the streetlight
Keep you company 'til the next night
In the same town, there's the same scar
In the same glow of the liquor store
By the freeway, where the headlight
Keep her company 'til the next night
Oh! Gravity.
Why can't we seem to keep it together?
Sons of my enemies,
Why can't we seem to keep it together?
In the back room of the Pentagon
There's a thin man with a line drawn
With a red jaw and a red bite
Watch the headline on the next night
Why this tragedy?
Why can't we seem to keep it together?
In the fallout, the fallout
We found out the hype won't get you through
We're connected, connected
What's your direction?
Tell me what's wrong, tell me what's right
What's your direction?
Think about somebody else for the night
Life's more than girls
God's more than words
You're more than this
So what's your direction?
And where are you now?
Grow, grow where you are
Anchor your roots underneath
Doubt your doubts and believe your beliefs
What's your direction?
What matters most?
What should you know?
What's your direction
All that you've been
Makes who you are now
'Cause I've been ashamed
I've been a fool
You know I've backed down
When I lose direction I pray to be found
Grow, grow where you are
Anchor your roots underneath
Everday it's the same thing
Another trend has begun
Hey kids, this might be the one
It's a race to be noticed
And it's leaving us numb
Hey kids, we can't be the ones
With all of our fashion
We're still incomplete
The God of redemption
Could break our routine
There's a new way to be human
It's nothing we've ever been
There's a new way to be human
New way to be human
And where is our inspiration?
When all the heroes are are gone
Hey kids, could we be the ones?
'Cause nobody's famous
And nobody's fine
We all need forgiveness
We're longing inside
There's a new way to be human
It's nothing we've ever been
There's a new way to be human
It's spreading under my skin
There's a new way to be human
Where divinity blends
With a new way to be human
New way to be human
You're throwing your love across
my impossible space
You've created me
Take me out of me into...
A new way to be human
To a new way to be human
You're a new way to be human
Where my humanity bends
To a new way to be human
Redemption begins
You're a new way to be human
When I wake in the morning
I want to blow into pieces
I want more than just okay, more than just okay
When I?m up with the sunrise
I want more than just blue skies
I want more than just okay, more than just okay
I?m not giving up, giving up, not giving up now
I?m not giving up, giving up, not backing down
More than fine, more than bent on getting by
More than fine, more than just okay
When I?m wet with the sunshine
I want more than just a good time
I want more than just ok, more than just okay, okay
I?m not giving up, giving up, I'm not giving up now
I?m not giving up, giving up, I'm not selling out
More than fine, more than bent on getting by
More than fine, more than just okay
More than fine, more than bent on getting by
More than fine, more than just okay
More than oceans away from the dawn
More than oceans away from the dawn
More than oceans away from who we are
More than oceans, more than oceans, yeah
More than fine, more than bent on getting by
More than fine, more than just okay okay okay okay, fine
More than fine, more than bent on getting by
She's a girl with the weight of the world
On her big brown eyes
She's a girl who's been talking to herself to apologize
She'll never do it again she promised
But then she hasn't been all that honest
Can she trust herself to be herself
Or is she talking to herself again?
Hey, Friday, what you gonna do now
When Monday comes around?
Hey, Friday, what you gonna do now?
When Monday comes around
When Monday comes around
Come around, when Monday comes around
Monday comes wondering
Where do you run to find a second start?
Where do you go when you're broke and alone
And Friday falls apart
Yeah, yeah, all these questions are leaving her shaking
Can you be two girls in one?
Can your heart bend this much without breaking?
You know that you know
And you can never have it both ways
Hey, Friday, what you gonna do now
When Monday comes around?
Hey, Friday, what you gonna do now
When Monday comes around?
When Monday comes around
Come around, when Monday comes around
Come around, when Monday comes around
Come around, when Monday comes around
Don't take it easy, don't take it easy
Who says somebody's giving and taking, giving and taking
Everybody's taking away
(Monday comes around)
Everything I know tell me she's everything
That I could hope for
Everything I know tell me I can't let her
Walk away
I took my time to find the words
I hoped she'd feel the same
'Cause I want someone to share my smile
To share the pain, to be there when the sea turns gray
To share the joy for better or worse
And I thought that it might have been her
Wonder if she knows
The way I saw her soul light up my life
Wonder if she knows
Of the pain I feel tonight
I took my time to find the words
I hoped she'd feel the same
'Cause I want someone to share my smile
To share the pain, to be there when the sea turns gray
To share the joy for better or worse
And I thought that it might have been her
And I thought that it might have been her
And I thought that it might have been her
And I thought that it might have been her
And I thought that it might have been
I thought that it might have been
Life and love and why
Child, adult, then die
All of your hoping
And all of your searching
For what?
Ask me for what am I living
Or what gives me strength
That I'm willing to die for
Take away from me
This monstrosity
'Cause my futile thinking's
Not gonna solve nothing tonight
Ask me for what am I living
Or what gives me strength
That I'm willing to die for
Could it be this
Could this be bliss
Could it be all that
I ever had missed
Could it be true
Can life be new
And can I be used
Can I be used
Give me a reason
For life and for death
A reason for drowning
While I hold my breath
Something to laugh at
A reason to cry
With everyone hopeless
And hoping for something
To hope for
Yeah, with something to hope for
Could it be true
Can life be new
Could it be all that I am
Is in You
Could it be this
Could it be bliss
Can it be You
I am my own affliction
I am my own disease
There ain't no drug that they could sell
Ah, there ain't no drug to make me well
There ain't no drug
There ain't no drug
There ain't no drug, it's not enough
The sickness is myself
I made a mess of me
I wanna get back the rest of me
I made a mess of me
I wanna spend the rest of my life alive
I made a mess of me
I wanna get back the rest of me
I made a mess of me
I wanna spend the rest of my life alive
The rest of my life alive
We lock our souls in cages
We hide inside our shells
It's hard to free the ones you love
Oh, when you can't forgive yourself
Yeah, forgive yourself
There ain't no drug
There ain't no drug
Ah, there ain't no drug
The sickness is myself
I made a mess of me
I wanna get back the rest of me
I made a mess of me
I wanna spend the rest of my life alive
I made a mess of me
I wanna reverse this tragedy
I made a mess of me
I wanna spend the rest of my live alive
The rest of my life alive
Right, there ain't no drug
There ain't no drug
There ain't no drug
No drugs to make me well
There ain't no drug
It's not enough
I'm breaking up
The sickness is myself
The sickness is myself
I made a mess of me
I wanna get back the rest of me
I made a mess of me
I wanna spend the rest of my life alive
I made a mess of me
I wanna reverse this tragedy
I made a mess of me
I wanna spend the rest of my live alive
Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why
The world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, to fly
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Dreaming about providence
And whether mice and men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin' with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
A day in LA
And millions of faces
Are looking for movement
Cause everything's stuck
And everything's frozen
And everyone's broken
And nobody moves
And everybody's scared
That the motion will never come
This is the incompletion
Stuck in a line
Love is the movement
Love is a revolution
This is redemption
We don't have to slow back down
The stars are alive
They dance to the music
Of the deepest emotion
And all of the world
Is singing in time
As the heavens are caving in
Mysterious ways
Why God gave His life
To put motion inside my soul
It's bigger than cold religion
It's bigger than life
We're starting now
We don't have to slow back down
This is a revolutioin
Get up, get up
She turns like the ocean
She tells no emotion
She's been gunning down the fight
She's just reminiscing
Blood, sweat, and one thing's missing
She's been breaking up inside, inside
Singing without tongues
Screaming without lungs
I want more than my lonely nation
I want more than my lonely nation
Desperate we are young
Seperate we are one
I want more than my desperation
I Want more than my lonely nation
We are the target market
We set the corporate target
We are slaves of what we want
We're just not amused
And we're just used to bad news
We are slaves of what we want
Singing without tongues
Screaming without lungs
I want more than my lonely nation
I want more than my lonely nation
Desperate we are young
Seperate we are one
I want more than my desperation
I Want more than my lonely nation
Lonely, lonely
Don't leave me hollow
I'm tired
Don't leave me hollow
I'm tired of feeling low
Of feeling hollow
I'm tired of feeling low
Of feeling hollow
I'm tired of feeling low
Of feeling hollow
I'm tired of feeling low
Of feeling hollow
Of feeling hollow
Of feeling hollow
Singing without tongues
Screaming without lungs
Want more than my desperation
I want more than my lonely nation
Desperate we are young
Separate we are one
I want more than my lonely nation
I want more than my lonely nation
I want more than my lonely nation
Living is simple
It's gravity
Gravity isn't so hard
Living is simple
It's entropy
Entropy, falling apart
I'm falling apart again
Living is simple
And breathing is easy
It's easy to do
Living is simple
And losing is easy
I'm losing my cool
I'm losing my cool again
All will be made well
Will be made well
Will be made well
Will be well
Is this fiction?
Is this fiction?
Hope has given himself to the worst
Is this fiction or divine comedy?
Where the last of the last finish first
Living is simple
Living is dying
Your mercy, Your mercy
Is how I believe
Living id dying
I can't understand it
I'm down on my knees
Confessing my needs again
I've had my choices
I've chosen today
I've had my choices
In this world of news, I've found nothing new
I've found nothing pure
Maybe I'm just idealistic to assume that truth
Could be fact and form
That love could be a verb
Maybe I'm just a little misinformed
As the dead moon rises, and the freeways sigh
Let the trains watch over the tides and the mist
Spinning circles in our skies tonight
Let the trucks roll in from Los Angeles
Maybe our stars are unanimously tired
Let your love be strong, and I don't care what goes down
Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud
Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your eyes
All of my world hanging on your love
Let the wars begin, let my strength wear thin
Let my fingers crack, let my world fall apart
Train the monkeys on my back to fight
Let it start tonight
When my world explodes, when my stars touch the ground
Falling down like broken satellites
Hello, good morning, how you do?
What makes your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new
So this is the way that I say I need You
This is the way that I'm
Learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that You and You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
Hello, good morning, how you been?
Yesterday left my head kicked in
I never, never thought that
I would fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad
So this is the way I say I need You
This is the way that I say I love You
This is the way that I say I'm Yours
Do you remember when
You were way back then
You held the world inside your hands
When you told me love
Was the strongest stuff
Your strength was innocence
But, oh man, the signs of the times are omens
You're starting the day in
No man's land again
Who are you gonna be?
When you're on your knees
Who do you believe?
Oh-oh-oh fear is a lonely man
You've been given innocence
You've been given innocence again
You should know by now
That your darkest hour
Is when your broken heart goes down
It's a bitter end
When the sweet begins
Grace is sufficiency
But, oh dear, we'll never deserve it
No dear, we never could earn it
Now, here, the choice is yours
Who are you gonna be?
When you're on your knees
Who do you believe?
Oh-oh-oh fear is a lonely man
You've been given innocence
You've been given innocence again
Grace is high and low
Grace is high and low
Grace is high and low
We'll never be the same
Who are you gonna be?
When you're on your knees
Who do you believe?
Oh-oh-oh fear is a lonely man
You've been given innocence
You've been given innocence again
You've been given innocence, innocence, innocence
Who are you gonna be?
And who are you gonna be?
And who are you gonna be?
He's washing face to start his day
He's lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Nothing in the mirror ever shows him what's within
Now he's checking out the faces
On the back of the milk
He's sour under all this pressure
He thinks the missing person looks an awful lot like him
And he starts his engine
But he knows he's missing gears
Incomplete!
Where will you find yourself?
Incomplete!
Where will you find yourself?
(3rd time- Where will you lose yourself?)
'Cause you're the missing person now
Step outside your doubt
And let yourself be found!
He's sick of the race just to save face
He's tied and tried, he's sick and tired
He's tired of the holes that are keeping him incomplete
He'll push the pedal to the floor
Like the day before
He's trying to be always trying
I've been watching the skies
They've been turning blood red
Not a doubt in my mind anymore
There's a storm up ahead
Hello hurricane, you're not enough
Hello hurricane, you can't silence my love
I've got doors and windows boarded up
All your dead end fury is not enough
You can't silence my love, my love
Every thing I have I count as loss
Everything I have is stripped away
Before I started building I counted up these costs
There's nothing left for you to take away
Hello hurricane, you're not enough
Hello hurricane, you can't silence my love
I've got doors and windows boarded up
All your dead end fury is not enough
You can't silence my love, yeah my love
I'm a fighter fighting for control
I'm a fighter fighting for my soul
Everything inside of me surrenders
You can't silence my love
You can't silence my love, yeah
Hello hurricane, you're not enough
Hello hurricane, you can't silence my love
I've got doors and windows boarded up
All your dead end fury is not enough
You can't silence my love
Everyone dies, everyone loves a fight
Nothing is sound, nothing is right side right
Evening comes when the sun goes down in red
Nothing is cool, when will all the fighting end
When will all the fighting end
Happy is a yuppie word
Nothing in the world could fail me now
It's empty as an argument
I'm running down a life that won't cash out
Cash out
Everything fails, everything runs it's course
A time and a place, for all of this loving war
Everyone buys, everyone's gotta price
And nothing is new, when will all the failures rise
When will all the failures rise, rise
Happy is a yuppie word
Nothing in the world could fail me now
It's empty as an argument
I'm running down a life that won't cash out
Happy is a yuppie word
Blessed is the man who's lost it all
Happy is a yuppie word, word
Looking for an orphanage
I'm looking for a bridge I can't burn down
I don't believe the emptiness
I'm looking for the kingdom coming down
Everything is meaningless
I want more than simple cash can buy
Happy is a yuppie word
Happy is a yuppie word
Happy is a yuppie word
Happy is a yuppie
Nothing is sound, nothing is sound
Nothing is sound, nothing is sound
Nothing is sound, nothing is sound
Nothing is sound
Happy is a yuppie word
Nothing in the world could fail me now
Happy is a yuppie word, word
So calm down, yeah
So calm down, yeah
Everything I ever need to know
I learned at the Punk Rock show
The Punks should know
How to through an elbow or a fist
A spinning world of hit and miss
Of violent bliss
But hold on hold on
I'll never be quite punk enough
But hold on hold on
I'll never be quite punk enough for you
Ever since I first learned how to spit
I wished I were a punk rock kid
A punk rock kid
I never eally knew quite what to do
I'll never be as punk as you
As punk as you
As punk as you and your tattoo
But hold on hold on
Punk is more than leather jackets
Hold on hold
Punk is dead but pop was never cool
(Like freedom in spring)
She's alone tonight with a bitter cup and
She's undone tonight, she's all used up,
She's been staring down the demons
Who've been screaming
She's just another so and so,
Another so and so
You are golden,
You are golden, Child
You are golden,
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go tonight)
There's a fear that burns like trash inside
And your shame of the curse that burns your eyes
You've been hiding in your bedroom,
Hoping this isn't how the story has to go
It's not the way it goes,
It's your book now,
You are golden,
You are golden, Child
You are golden,
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go tonight)
You're a lonely soul in a land of broken hearts
You're far from home, it's a perfect place to start
(Yeah!)
(Burn)
(Burn, Burn!)
So this final verse is a contradiction
And the more we learn the less we know
We've been talkin' about a feeling,
We both know inside but couldn't find the words
I couldn't write this verse,
I've seldom been so sure,
About anything before
Golden,
You are Golden, Child
You are Golden,
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go tonight)
This world is a dead man down (Golden, you are)
Every breath is a fading crown we wear (Golden, Child, you are)
Like some debilitated king (Golden, don't let go)
Don't let go tonight
The Earth spins and the moon goes round (Golden, you are)
The green comes from the frozen ground (Golden, Child, you are)
And everything will be made new again (Golden)
(Like freedom in spring) (Golden, Golden)
Hey, like freedom in spring, (Golden, you are, hey)
Like freedom in spring (Golden, Child, you are)
I've got my back against the wall
But I can still hear the blue sky call
The chains that hold me back inside
Are the prisons of my mind, yeah
Free, come set me free, down on my knees
I still believe you can save me from me
Come set me free, come set me free
Inside this shell there's a prison cell
Inside this shell there's a prison cell
I try to live the light of day
Why would I do what I hate?
But when try to reach above
I only I hurt the ones I love, yeah
Free, come set me free, down on my knees
I still believe you can save me from me
Come set me free, come set me free
Inside this shell there's a prison cell
There's a hole in the neighborhood where the shadows fall
There's a hole in my heart but my hope is not in me at all
I had a dream that my chains were broken, broken, broken open
Free, come set me free, down on my knees
I still believe you can save me from me
Come set me free, I still believe
Inside this shell there's a prison cell
Inside this shell there's a prison cell
This one's about a dream
I had last night
How an old man tracked me home
And stepped inside
He put his foot inside the door
And gave a crooked smile
Something in his eyes
Something in his laugh
Something in his voice
That made my skin crawl off
He said, "I've seen you here before
I know your name.
You could have your pick
Of pretty things.
You could have it all
Everything at once.
Everything you've seen,
Everything you'll need,
Everything you've ever had in fantasies."
"You've one life,
You've one life.
You've one life left to lead."
I woke up from my dream
As a golden man
With a girl I've never seen
With golden skin
I jumped up to my feet
She asked me what was wrong
I began to scream
I don't think this is me
Is this just a dream
Or really happening?
What direction?
What direction?
I'm splitting up!
I'm splitting up!
This is my personal disaffection
What direction? What direction?
What direction now?
I looked outside the glass
At golden shores
Golden ships and masts
With golden cords
As my reflection passed
I hated what I saw
My golden eyes were dead
And a thought passed through my head
A heart that is made of gold can't really beat at all
I wanted to wake up again
Without a touch of gold
What direction?
Death or action!
Life begins at the intersection.
I woke up as before
But the gold was gone
My wife was at the door
With her night robe on
My heart beat once or twice
And life flooded my veins
Everything had changed
My lungs had found their voice
And what was once routine
And what was once routine was now the perfect joy
You've one life
You've one life
Nothing more
That there's nothing more
Nothing more
That there's nothing more
Nothing here's the same, it's all a dream
Life on the movie screen
And I'm sitting on the edge of my seat
I can't tell what happens next,
Just what I've seen
I don't know what it means
But I'm holding on the edge of my seat
'Cause I can't forget your name,
Forget your name
Yeah I can't forget you now
I know I can't forget you, girl
I promise
Sit back buckle in and hold on tight
A roller coaster ride
And I'm holding on the edge of my seat
And I can't know for sure
'Cause I just landed on your shore
But I think you got nothing but another thing coming
If you think there's nothing more
That there's nothing more
Don't be there
'Cause I'm on my way
And I'm already gone over
And I'm on my way
And I can't recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot
Or shoot myself
I'm down here
And you're way up there
But that doesn't hurt badly
But it stings right here
And I won't pretend there's
Nothing there
You be around and I'll be square
Don't be alarmed if I'm not there
You be around and I'll be square
If you're a rose
Then I'm the thorn
That's in your side
And does it hurt badly
'Cause it burns right here
I'd like to say hello
I'd like to say I care
I'd like to let you know
That nothing here's the same with me
Nothing here's the same
Don't be around
Please don't be so naive
You know you're not fooling anyone
You're not as tough as you think
With dirty second hands,
The dirty second hands
Can't get nothing for free
It becomes so predictable
You start fighting to breathe
The dirty second hands,
Your dirty second hands
Here's the face of everything that breaks you down
Now you face the face of everything that breaks you down
With an army of me
We invent our own enemies
Man verses machine
And the dirty second hands
In the land of the free
And the home of the remedy
The old clock is a thief
With dirty second hands
Are you really as tough as you think
You blink and you're over the brink
You bleed but you're blood runs pink
With dirty second hands, dirty second hands
You're not quite as tough as you thought
You bought the American rot
The very seed that you thought you shot
With dirty second hands, dirty second hands
You might be right,
The fight might be right inside you
The blind leading the lied to,
{Ya I will im just gonna sing this track first}
Ive seen the darkest things
crawling inside of me
ive seen the monsters come alive
ive seen the enemy
the nightmare follows me
searching the darkness for a light
Waiting for daylight to break up this room
waiting for daylight to break
Ive been alone in the dark
Ive been dreaming
Now im waking up without you
Ive been waking up without you for too long
back in the tragedy
Ive made a mess of me
my bitter means my bitter ends
ive seen the irony
it gets the best of me
dying to be made new again
Waiting for daylight to break up this room
waiting for daylight to break
Ive been alone in the dark
Ive been dreaming the day when dreamers are awake
The sun hits my eyes and everythings alright
Ive been waking up without you
ive been waking up without you
ive been roaring at arms till you were in my arms
ive been waking without you
ive been waking up without you for too long
Waiting for to daylight to break up the room
waiting, waiting
ive been alone in the dark
ive been dreaming the day when dreamers are awake
the sun hits my eyes and everything alright
Ive been waking up without you
ive been waking up without you
ive been roaring at arms till you were in my arms
ive been waking up without you
Amy's gone
And time rolls on
How far? how fast? how long?
The last time we saw Amy
She was headed for the shore
Fighting off the volatile gray skies
She said now begins forever
And that no one knows their time
We bid farewell not knowing
That might be our last goodbye
Amy was a fighter
She cut like Casius Clay
She burned like a fire
Despite these rains
Where time was a question
She only knew one song
She's singing, "how far, how fast, how long?"
Salvation is a fire
In the midnight of the soul
It lights up like a can of gasoline
Yeah, she's a freedom fighter
She's a stand up kind of girl
She's out to start a fire
In a bar code plastic world
When everything stops moving
And I stop to catch my breath
And ride my train of thought
All the way round
My thoughts return to Amy
And the fire she's begun
She came when we were freezing
Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift
Yourself up off by the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are
And who you could be
Between how it is
And how it should be yeah
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift
Yourself up off by the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
To lift yourself up off by the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Bleeding thoughts
Cracking boulder
Don't fall over
Fake your laughter
Burn the tear
Sing it louder
Twist and shout
Way up here
We stand on shoulders
Growing colder
Laugh or cry
I won't mind
Sing it louder
Twist and shout
Immovable shadows
The concrete girl
They'll rock your world to nothing
And they're swimming around again, again
And they're swimming around
The concrete girl
Catch your breath like four-leaf clover
Hand it over
Scream to no one
Take your time
Sing it louder
Twist and shout
Nothing to run from is worse than something
And all your fears of nothing
And they're swimming around again, again
And they're swimming around
The concrete girl
Concrete girl don't fall down
In this broken world around you
Concrete girl don't fall down
Don't fall down my concrete girl
Don't stop thinking
Don't stop feeling now
One step away from where we were
And one step back to nothing
And we're standing on top of our hopes and fears
And we're fighting for words now concrete girl
And we're swimming around again, again
And we're swimming around now
Concrete girl
Concrete girl don't fall down in this broken world around you
Concrete girl don't fall down
Don't fall down my concrete girl
Concrete girl don't fall down in this concrete world around you
Concrete girl don't fall down
Mike was right when he said I'd put up
A fight to be someone, a fight to be me
But see now, I'm down
Under the pavement
Of capital hills and lowercase people
As time rolls by my dreams have become
That which is attainable
Not what I'm looking for!
I've got the company car
I'm the one swinging at two below par
Yeah, I've become one with the ones
That I've never believed in
But I've got the company car
I'm the king of things I've always despised
I'm the gingerbread man
who got eaten alive
I'm half-baked! I'm fake!
But see I've got hotels on
Park Place and Boardwalk
And two hundred bucks
I pass go but, oh! Life's taken its toll
Have I won Monopoly to forfiet my soul?
All the king's horses
At the foot of the wall
They're taking pictures of
The man who's lost all of his
Masks of pretension
He's got two faces left
His is the one that he hides
On the left behind that smile...
Hiding tears and fear
That burns like an engine
It drives him away
From the ones that he loves
Mike was right:
"Hey Mike! We're one and the same;
we're the faceless combatants
in the lonliest game"
Ah but say, I'll wave as I'm driving by
With that smirk in my eye, yelling
Nothing but a chemical in my head
It's nothing but laziness
Cause I don't wanna read the book
I'll watch the movie
Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else my age
I think I'd rather play around
And I think I'd rather watch TV
Cause I don't wanna face my fears
I'll watch the movie
Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else
I'm just like everybody else
Because I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna see this now
It's all wrong but it's alright
And I don't wanna be here
And I don't wanna study now
It's all wrong but it's alright
I don't know what love is
I don't know who I am
And if I ever want to find out
I'll watch the movie
Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else my age
I don't wanna change the world
And I don't wanna be someone
I don't wanna write the book
I'll make the movie
Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else
I'm just like everybody else
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna see this now
It's all wrong but it's alright
And I don't wanna be here
And I don't wanna study now
I wanna sing one for all the dreamers
I'm singing this one for the sparks
Here's one for the friction makers
We are the bleeding hearts
Don't care whoever you are
We rise and fall together
Our hearts still beat below
You can't stand by forever
You're a kid with a bullet soul
Are you ready to go?
Are you ready to go?
I wanna turn up the radiation
I wanna glow in the dark
Love is the one true innovation
Love is the only art
Don't let 'em blow it apart
We rise and fall together
Our hearts still beat below
You can't stand by forever
You're a kid with a bullet soul
Are you ready to go?
Are you ready to go?
Are you ready to go?
We are the children of the scar
I wanna start from the start
We rise and fall together
Our hearts still beat below
You can't stand by forever
You're a kid with a bullet soul
Are you ready to go?
Are you ready to go?
Are you ready to go?
Hey boy, don't believe 'em
The old lies never could come through
Hey boy, don't believe 'em
Everything that they told you to
Hey boy, don't believe 'em
We're the nation that eats our youth
Hey boy, don't believe 'em
None of us are bullet-proof
Deep down there's a boy inside
Asleep waiting for the sun to rise
Wake up
Wake up
Still looking for the blinding light
Still looking for the reason why
Still looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
All my life I've been living in the darkest night
Still looking for the blinding light to take me higher and higher
Hey girl, be yourself now
Don't believe what they told you to
Hey girl, be yourself now
Your skin is more than a pin-up suit
Hey girl, don't conform now
No one else got soul like you
Hey girl, you're a strong one, but none of us are bullet-proof
Deep down there's a hope inside
You've got wings, but you're scared to fly
Wake up
Wake up
Still looking for the blinding light
Still looking for the reason why
Still looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
All my life I've been living in the darkest night
Still looking for the sun to shine and take me higher and higher
Deep down there's a hope inside
Brighter than the fears of my mind
I keep looking for the blinding light
It's the hope that keeps me alive
Wake up
Wake up
Still looking for the blinding light
Still looking for the reason why
Still looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
All my life I've been living in the darkest night
Still looking for the sun to rise to take me higher and higher
The blinding light
The blinding light
I've been waiting all my life
Take me higher and higher
Blinding light
You're the vision that gives me sight
Oh the blinding light
Blame it on what you've been through
Blame it on what you're into
Blame it on your religions
Blame it on politicians
We've been blowing up
We're the issue
It's our condition
We've been blowing up
We're the issue
Our detonation
We've been blowing up
We're the issue
We're ammunition
We're ammunition
We're ammunition
We are the fuse and ammunition
I have no generation
Show me my motivation
One world one desperation
One hope and one salvation
Look what a mess we've made of love
Look what a mess we've made
We've got ourselves to blame
What are you waiting for, the day is gone?
I said I'm waiting for dawn
What are you aiming for out here alone?
I said I'm aiming for home
Holding on
Holding on
With red eyes what are you looking for?
With red eyes, red eyes
All of my days are spent within this skin
Within this cage that I'm in
Nowhere feels safe to me, nowhere feels home
Even in crowds I'm alone
Holding on
Holding on
Every now and then I see you dreaming
Every now and then I see you cry
Every now and then I see you reaching
Reaching for the other side
It's in her head
It's in her mind
She can't believe it
Can't believe she's running
Out of time
And any hold
That she can find
Something to lean on
Everybody fails her
Half the time
Nothing to be
She's already been
Plenty of time
Plenty of time
Plenty of time
She lights her candle
6 a.m.
Starting a new one
Every new one hits her
Just the same
Just like clockwork
She climbs down
Into her bottle
No one down there cares
To know her name
She's underwater
Nowhere now
Underwater upside down
The rising tide won't
Find her now
She's lost and found
Underwater
She's underwater
But she won't drown
She can't believe it
And every one she meets
Feels just the same
It takes all day to
Get to tonight
What makes the sunset
And what makes it go back
To where it came
She's underwater
Nowhere now
She's underwater
Upside down
The rising tide won't
Find her now
She's lost and found
Now she's upside down
Now she's six feet down
Check!
Tonight!
Tonight!
I'll rise
I'll fall
I'll fail you all
We built these cities to stand so tall
We've lost our walls
I don't want to lose it, coming down
With the whole world upside-down
I don't have a soul to trust in now
With the whole world upside-down
We are one, tonight!
And we're singing it out!
We are one, tonight!
And we're dreaming out loud!
And the world is flawed
But these scars will heal
We are one, tonight!
Tonight!
Tonight!
Two eyes
One tongue
I've come
Undone
I'm no victim
I paid these dues
I came to lose
I don't want to fight about it now
With the whole world upside-down
I don't have a soul to trust in, now
With the whole world upside-down
We are one, tonight!
And we're singing it out!
We are one, tonight!
And we're dreaming out loud!
And the world is flawed
But these scars will heal
We are one, tonight!
Tonight!
Tonight!
Tonight!
Tonight!
Tonight!
I don't want to lose a common ground
With the whole world upside-down
I don't want to fight about it now
And the world was burning out
Let's slow the evening down
Slow it down
Slow down
Please slow down
Down
Down
The stars are comin' out!
We are one
We are one
We are one
We are one tonight
We are one tonight
And were singing it out
We are one tonight
And were dreaming out loud
And the world is flawed,
Walking along the high tide-line
Watching the pacific from the side-lines
I wonder what it means to live together
Looking for more than just guide-lines
Looking for signs in the night sky
Wishing that i wasn't such a nice guy
I wonder what it means to live forever
I wonder what it means to die
I know that there is meaning to it all
A little resurrection everytime i fall
You've got your babies, i've got my hearses
Every blessing comes with a set of curses
I've got my vices, i've got my vice verses
I've got my vice verses....
The wind could be my new obsession
The wind could be my next depression
The wind goes anywhere it wants to
Wishing that i learned my lesson
The ocean sounds like a garage band
Coming at me like a drunk man
The ocean tells me a thousand stories
None of them are lies
I know that there is meaning to it all
A little resurrection everytime i fall
You've got your babies, i've got my hearses
Every blessing comes with a set of curses
I've got my vices, i've got my vice verses
I've got my vice verses....
Let the pacific laugh
Be on my epitaph
With these rising and falling
And after all,
It's just water and i am just soul
With a body of water and bone
Water and bone....
Where is God in the city life?
Where is God in the city light?
Where is God in the earthquake?
Where is God in the genocide?
Where are you in my broken heart?
Everything seems to fall apart
Everything feels rusted over
Tell me that you're there
I know that there is meaning to it all
A little resurrection everytime i fall
You've got your babies, i've got my hearses
Every blessing comes with a set of curses
I've got my vices, i've got my vice verses
We get it on most every night
when that moon is big and bright
its a supernatural delight
everybodys dancin' in the moonlight
we get
everybody here is out of sight
they dont bark and they dont bite
they keep things loose they keep it tight
everybodys dancin' in the moonlight
dancing in the moonlight
everybodys feeling warm and bright
its such a fine and natural sight
everybodys dancin' in the moonlight
we like our fun and we never fight
you cant dance and stay uptight
its a supernatural delight
everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
dancing in the moonlight
everybodys feeling warm and bright
its such a fine and natural sight
everybodys dancin' in the moonlight
we get in on most every night
and when that moon is big and bright
its a supernatural delight
everybodys dancin' in the moonlight
dancing in the moonlight
everybodys feeling warm and bright
its such a fine and natural sight
yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
yesterday is a promise that you've broken
don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
this is your life and today is all you've got now
yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose
yesterday is a kid in the corner
yesterday is dead and over
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
this is your life are you who you want to be
this is your life are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose
I've got my memories
They're always inside of me
But I can't go back
Back to how it was
I believe you now
I've come too far
No, I can't go back
Back to how it was
Created for a place
I've never known
This is home
Now I'm finally where I belong, where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching for a place of my own
Now I've found it, maybe, this is home
Yeah, this is home
Belief over misery
I've seen the enemy
And I won't go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart set on what happens next
I've got my eyes wide, it's not over yet
We are miracles
And we're not alone
Yeah, this is home
Now I'm finally where I belong, where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching for a place of my own
Now I've found it, maybe, this is home
Yeah, this is home
And now after all my searching
After all my questions
I'm gonna call it home
I got a brand new mindset
I can finally see the sunset
I?m gonna call it home
This is home
Now I'm finally where I belong, where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching for a place of my own
Now I've found it, maybe, this is home
(This is home)
This is home
Now I know
Yeah, this is home
I've come too far
And I won't go back
Everything is broken
Everything is broken
Everything is breaking down, breaking down
Everything is bleeding
Everything is bleeding
Everything is breaking down, breaking down
A pledge allegiance to a country without borders, without politicians
Watching for my sky to get torn apart
We are broken, we are bitter
We're the problem, we're the politicians
Watching for our sky to get torn apart
C'mon and break me
Entropy and Aching
Where have we been aiming?
Everything is fading out, fading out
We are the faded, splitted, and sedated
Everything is fading out, fading out
A pledge allegiance to a country without borders, without politicians
Watching for my sky to get torn apart
We are broken, we are bitter
We're the problem, we're the politicians
Watching for our sky to get torn apart
C'mon and break me
C'mon and break me
A pledge allegiance to a country without borders, without politicians,
politicians, politicians..
I am broken, I am bitter
I'm the problem, I'm the politician
Watching for my sky to get torn apart
C'mon and break me
I'm the failure
I'm everyone's fool
And I'm losing my cool at the end
I'm the loser
My numbers come up
I've been hung up with thoughts of Revenge
Revenge
Revenge
Oh!!!!
I've been watching you with my terminal view
As you struggle to rise to your end
I laughed hard at the insults we through
As the weight of the world found revenge
Revenge
Revenge
Have hatred and Gravity won?
The world hung upsidedown
I drew first blood
With my hateful recrown
I drew first blood
Revenge
I watched heaven dying today
and I'm gonna die here tonight
I'm the villian and I deserve to be dead
I've been hung up for recking my life
Revenge
So I stopped for a moment
to look at the sun
dying today
That's when the irony hit me
That this was revenge
That love had decended and stolen our pain
Away.
We consumed heaven's Son
And I drew first blood
And my hate was undone
And I drew first blood
Revenge
Here's a story
How thief had been robed
How murder had stolen my rage
Think of me Lord
I'm a few breaths away
As my lungs finally rip from the cage
Revenge.
Ah La La La La La La,
Ah La La La La La La
Sex is currency
She sells cars,
She sells magazines
Addictive bittersweet, clap your hands,
with the hopeless nicotines
Everyone's a lost romantic,
Since our love became a kissing show
Everyone's a Casanova,
Come and pass me the mistletoe
Everyone's been scared to death of dying here alone
She is easier than love
Is easier than life
It's easier to fake and smile and bribe
It's easier to leave
It's easier to lie
It's harder to face ourselves at night
Feeling alone,
What have we done?
What is the monster we've become?
Where is my soul?
Numb
Sex is industry,
The CEO, of corporate policy
Skin-deep ministry,
Suburban youth, hail your so-called liberty
Every advertising antic,
Our banner waves with a neon glow
War and love become pedantic,
We wage love with a mistletoe
Everyone's been scared to death of dying here alone
She is easier than love
Is easier than life
It's easier to fake and smile and bribe
It's easier to leave
It's easier to lie
It's harder to face ourselves at night
Feeling alone,
What have we done?
What is the monster we've become?
Where is my soul?
Ah, la, la, la, la,
(Yeah!)
La la la la la la la,
La, la, la, la, oh,
(Yeah!)
La, la, la, la, no!
It's easier to love,
It's easier to love
It's easier to love,
It's easier to love
She is easier than love,
It's easier to love
Everyone's been scared to death of,
Everyone's been scared to death of,
Everyone's been scared to death of dying here alone,
alone
Sex is easier than love,
It's easier than love,
It's easier to fake and smile and brag
It's easier to leave,
It's easier to lie,
It's harder to face ourselves at night
Feeling alone,
What have we done?
What is the monster we've become?
Where is my soul? (Where is my?)
Where is my soul?
Ah, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, no!
I've made my mistakes
I've seen my heart cave in
I got my scars
I've been to hell and back again
Born for the blue skies
We'll survive the rain
Born for the sunrise
We'll survive the pain
We're singing hey, you can't count us out
We've been running up against the crowd
Yeah, we are the dark horses
We're singing wait, it's not over now
We've been down but we've never been out
Yeah, we are the dark horses
We found a way out
The city takes everything it can
But outside the crowds
I can feel my lungs again
Born for the blue skies
We'll survive the rain
Born for the sun rise
We will survive the pain
We're singing
La la la la la la la
Were singing we don't care what they say
We know we'll find a way
Yeah, we are the dark horses
Keep running with the dark horses
Stand up for the dark horses
Hope makes the blood change courses
Keep running with the dark horses
Rain is a bad reminder of everything I don't want to know
Rain is a backseat driver that takes me where I don't want to go
And it looks like the sky is caving in again
I'm dry and cracked, the sky goes black
And tut, tut, it looks like rain
Erosion
Oh, sweet erosion, break me and make
Me whole
The thirstiest grounds can't take the rain
My undecided vices washing on down the drain
And it looks like the sky is caving in again
My heart is cracked, the sky goes black
And tut, tut, it looks like rain
Oh, erosion, would You wash away my sins?
Oh, erosion, I need a second shot again
Oh, erosion, would You break my heart again?
Oh, I'm a wandering soul
I'm still walking the line that leads me home alone
All I know I still got mountains to climb on my own
On my own
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Do you love me enough to let me go?
To let me follow through, let me fall for you, my love
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Back from the dead of winter
Back from the dead and all our leaves are dry
You're so beautiful tonight
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Back from the dead we went through
Back from the dead and both our tongues are tied
You look beautiful tonight
Do you love me enough to let me go?
But every seed dies before it grows
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Do you love me enough to let me go?
To let me follow through, let me fall for you, my love
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Breathe it in and let it go
Every breath you take is not yours to own
It's not your to hold
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Do you love me enough to let me go?
To let me follow through, let me fall for you, my love
It was a beautiful let down
When I crashed and burned
When I found myself alone unknown and hurt
It was a beautiful let down
The day I knew
That all the riches this world had to offer me
Would never do
In a world full of bitter pain and bitter doubt
I was trying so hard to fit in, fit in,
Until I found out
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I will carry a cross and a song where I don't belong
But I don't belong
It was a beautiful let down
When you found me here
Yeah for once in a rare blue moon I see everything clear
I'll be a beautiful let down
That's what I'll forever be
And though it may cost my soul
I'll sing for free
We're still chasin our tails and the rising sun
And our dark water planet's
Still spinning in a race
Where no one wins and no one's one
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I'm gonna set sight and set sail for the kingdom come
I will carry a cross and a song where I don't belong
But i don't belong
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
Kingdom come
Your kingdom come
Won't you let me down yeah
Let my foolish pride
Forever let me down
Easy living, not much like your name
Easy dying, you look just about the same
Won't you please take me off your list
Easy living please come on and let me down
We are a beautiful let down,
Painfully uncool,
The church of the dropouts
The losers, the sinners, the failures and the fools
Oh what a beautiful let down
Are we salt in the wound
Let us sing one true tune
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
Feels like I don't belong here
Let me down
Let me down
Feels like I'm let down
Let me down.
Cuz I don't belong here
Please
Face down with the L.A. curbside endings
In ones and zeros
Downtown was the perfect place to hide
The first star that I saw last night
Was a headlight of a man-made sky
But man-made never made our dreams collide, collide
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition
You've been talking in your sleep about a dream
We're awakening
Last week saw me living for nothing but deadlines
With my dead beat sky
But this town doesn't look the same tonight
These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere
And all my life I don't know
That I've ever felt so alive, alive
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition
You've been talking in your sleep about a dream
We're awakening
I wanna wake up kicking and screaming
I wanna wake up kicking and screaming
I wanna know that my heart's still beating
It's beating, I'm bleeding
I wanna wake up kicking and screaming
I wanna live like I know what I'm leaving
I wanna know that my heart's still beating
It's beating, it's beating, it's beating, I'm bleeding
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition
But you've been talk, talking in your sleep about a dream
We're awakening
This is the star, this is your heart
This is the day you were born
This is the sun, these are your lungs
This is the day you were born
And I am always, always, always yours
And I am always, always, always yours
These are the scars deep in your heart
This is the place you were born
And this is the hole where most of your soul comes ripping out
From the places you've been torn
And it is always, always, always yours
And I am always, I'm always, I'm always yours
Hallelujah, I'm caving in
Hallelujah, I'm in love again
Hallelujah, I'm a wretched man
Hallelujah, every breath is a second chance, yeah
And it is always, always, always yours
And I am always, I'm always, always yours
Always, always, I'm always yours, I'm yours
Start the day against the voices
The ones that tell me that I'm wrong
Here and now
Screaming their delusions
I close my eyes and they're gone.
If they ain't singing
and they're just talkin'
Let them keep talking to themselves.
Cuz everybody knows
The hardest war to fight
Is a fight to be yourself
Twenty-four oceans, twenty-four skies
Twenty-four failures and twenty-four tries
Twenty-four finds me in twenty-fourth place
With twenty-four drop outs at the end of the day
Life is not what I thought it was twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing 'Spirit, take me up in arms with You'
And I'm not who I thought I was twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing 'Spirit, take me up in arms with You'
There's twenty-four reasons to admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses still twenty-four strong
See, I'm not copping out
Not copping out, not copping out
When you're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh, I am the second man
Oh, oh, I am the second man now
Oh, I am the second man now
And you're raising these
Twenty-four voices with twenty-four hearts
All of my symphonies in twenty-four parts
But I want to be one today centered and true
I'm singing 'Spirit take me up in arms with You'
You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh, I am the second man
Oh, oh, I am the second man now
Oh, I am the second man now
And you're raising the dead in me, yeah, yeah
I wanna see miracles to see the world change
Wrestled the angel for more than a name
For more than a feeling, for more than a cause
I'm singing 'Spirit, take me up in arms with You'
And you're raising the dead in me
Twenty-four oceans with twenty-four hearts
(Oh, oh, I am the second man)
(Oh, oh, I am the second man)
All of my symphonies with twenty-four parts
(Oh, oh, I am the second man now)
(And you're raising the dead in me)
Life is not what I thought it was twenty-four hours ago
(Oh, oh, I am the second man)
(Oh, oh, I am the second man)
Still I'm singing 'Spirit, take me up in arms with You'
(Oh, oh, I am the second man now)
(And you're raising the dead in me)
I'm not copping out
(Oh, oh, I am the second man)
Not copping out
(Oh, oh, I am the second man)
Not, not copping out
