[Verse 1: Joe Budden]
Last thing I'm tryna be is the good guy now,
I ain't never gave a fuck, why should I now
Like the World's interrupting my song with an interlude
Can't you try and see I'm trying to balance out my chemical
Finishing up what you ain't even begin to do
When your backs against the ropes it's either him or you
You ain't so important that my words are meant for you
When did everybody become so sensual
Caught up in the he say she say,
Blog sites, him and her broke up
World star, Nah right
Dumb fans, they believe everything that y'all write
Found out friends fake couldn't even facade right
Pressures on, won't fail
Nigga got too much to prove
Would have been, lost it, but I got too much to lose
Say what you want about Joe but I stood my ground
Bitch, I get it up myself you just put it down
They say I put my whole on display to my dismay
Stop it you carryin on without logic
Let me tell you this about Joe
I only say you what I want you to hear
You only see what I want to show
Crushing up the percaset
Chasing the high tally
I couldn't make this shit up if I tried
The forecast shows a downpour
Ya'll just made God cry praying for my downfall
This the shit I'm talking bout right here, let me tell you niggas something
You can be anything in this World that you want, except for my downfall.
Check this...
[Verse 2:]
I'm a victim of society
Circumstance or just feelings
Was a nigga victimised or just willing
No blinds, no bags, just dealing
No foundation or floor plan, just building
Check it, nights dark but the day's dark
Covered in tattoo's but hate art
These egg shell's I walk on are razor sharp
Staring at the finish line looking for a way to start
I've been called everything, an extremist
Is that a bad thing or what they really mean is
Anything a nigga do, a nigga mean it
And I won't let a person place a thing come between it
An opportunist is how they paint me
But if the nigga only knock once can you blame me
Still I feel like my problems are great
Shit if I don; t ever solve em I'm straight
Look on the bright side, God chose me to put a lot on my plate
So he had to figure I wouldn't be bothered by the weight
I'm trying to change the pattern but it's on loop
Even an outcast in my own group
What's it mean when everybody standing next to you
Expects of you everything that comes with a spectacle
If everywhere I go I just leave behind residue
Tell me, trust me, I won't think nothing less of you
[Chorus:]
I'm sorry I ain't around more
Come up with me or stay on the ground floor
I don't need shelter from the downpour
Y'all could be whatever you want, just not my downfall
They tryna make me slow, tryna take me, NO!
Can't be my downfall
They tryna knock my grind
I won't stop, I'm fine
Can't be my downfall
[Verse 3:]
No moment of clarity
The next fight showing is a rarity
The rarity of me against my growing popularity
Rappers won't rap, I'm forced to believe they scared of me
But can no longer use the scape goat they no longer aware of me
So y'all can go and throw your little pot shots
Some dudes dissed me and temporarily got hot
I'm getting my head right recollecting
Y'all looking for some website resurrection
Being that I got too much to lose
Or maybe a slight chance that a nigga guilty
Of all that I'm accused
No longer amused
Affecting my loved ones
Now they starting to bruise
And I don't want no parts of that abuse
Wouldn't wish it upon my worst foe a day in my shoes
That'll just eliminate any excuse
And why entertain em
Old me would'a lost my sense's
Y'all just helping the new me regain em
Been punched int he face,
It was either feed my family
Or hunt with a .38
And I didn't want brunch to wait
I've outgrown hip hop
It's turned into a day care
So next time some shit is on my mind, it'll stay there
I'm staring at the man in the mirror
But it ain't helping see the man any clearer
So I get MIA from around y'all
Till God stops answering these prayers for my downfall
[Chorus]
[Verse 4:]
Tell me what am I to do
If I ain't have a soul a nigga always had you
Pardon Duke but I gotta speak candidly
How the Fuck could you abandon me
With 5 years of blood sweat and tears
But there was obviously a disconnect
We turned that into a disrespect
Says she been holding it inside for years she's unhappy
So the girl I wanna marry was afraid to come and tell me
So I went away on tour
And you went on one of your own
While you was on the horn all day with old boy
Did you ever think about what it would do to your home
What's his name, where's he live
What is it he offers? what's he got to give?
And I love you so much that when I caught onto your fibs
I hit you like a man, you wore it in your ribs
I was heated but had to be strong enough to remove the infidelity
And see what's underneath it
Come to find out you felt lied to and cheated
Mistreated and kept it a big secret
Or are you just loose
And I'm so naive I'm tryna give you an excuse
Now that I refuse to believe
We life partners, only want her I would never ever come and try and part us
Can't use anything I ever gave you to bury me
You supposed to be the one that bury me
You want to leave than goodbye
Think the grass look greener on the other side
But it's dyed[? ]
(Rusty Young)
Thought I'd seen it all before
No one could show me any more
Sunny skies and and lights so bright
Winter winds deep in the night
Then came a woman
Heaven must have sent
And like a fool
I never guessed it meant
My downfall, Down, Downfall
I never thought I'd fall at all
Downfall, Downfall
If anyone should ask you why
I keep starin' at the sky
Tell them how it used to be
Tell them how it was with me
Then came a woman
Heaven must have sent
And like a fool
I never guessed it meant
My downfall
Down, Downfall
I never thought I'd fall at all
Downfall, Downfall
Then came a woman...
In silence I'm walking through the darkness
Chasing the webs that haunt my mind
Voices are whispering inside my brain
Divine powers are tearing me apart
Demonic forces with illusive grace
Beyond the truth, the downfall of Curon
Prophecy was fulfilled, eternal dawn
Away is the sun, legacy will be their fall
My dream will become grim reality
The sea and sky will cleanse this town
My lord has spoken, eternal hell
For those who decide to blaspheme
The waves of divinity will purify this village
So come, my children of the lord
Prophecy was fulfilled, eternal dawn
Away is the sun, legacy
This is your downfall
Rise children of the lord
Prophecy was fulfilled, eternal dawn
I wonder how you sleep
I wonder what you think of me
If I could go back
Would you have ever been with me?
I want you to be unused
I want you to remember
I want you to believe in me
I want you on my side
Come on and lay it down
I've always been with you
Here and now
Give all that's within you
Be my savior
And I'll be your downfall
There we go again
Ashamed of bein' broken in
We're gettin' off track
I wanna get you back again
I want you to trouble me
I wanted you to linger
I want you to agree with me
I want so much, so bad
Come on and lay it down
I've always been with you
Here and now
An' give all that's within you
Be my savior
And I'll be your downfall
Yeah, be my savior
Only love can save us now
Don't lay me down
Only love can save us now
I'll be your downfall
Ah, love can save us now
Don't save me now
Lay it down
I've always been with you
Hear me now
An' with all that's within you
Be my savior
And I'll be your downfall
Now I'm back on my own
Hear my feet, they're really made of stone
Man, I make you go where I go
Well hell, you, can I take you home
Well, I'm comin' home on my back
Kissing me, your lips painted black
Saying oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Let me be your downfall
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
The night of timeless fire is drawing near
I flee... Throughout the years of throe
Watching through a mirror, as I fall apart
I see a wreck, I'm burning
I see angels burning, falling down in ruins
Looking down I see me, I'm my own enemy
Watching myself decaying, falling from high spirits
I flee... Throughout the ruins of me
Longing for finding my way out
Leaving myself, there's nothing left for me
The ruins are about to crumble down.
The flame is dying by shivery winds of jet black skies
It reflects hatred in my eyes
I see angels burning, falling down in ruins
Looking down I see my ashes scattered around my grave
Angels whispering fire, no longer I'm alive
Everthing's falling
This is the end
Structures collapsing
Your little life is erased
Everyone's dying
You thought you were safe
How could it happen
Your dream of life was
Betrayed
Decay
Corrosion
Downfall
Oblivion
Time to wake up
There's No way back
It's you and it's me
And it's us
None to blame
Makes no sense
Downward we go now
We Burn
Burn
Burn
Downfall
I can see you walk out away
Turn your back on all your feelings
Seems you're loosing yourself again
To a void so devastating
And I can't deny I am the one,
The one to blame
For all your loss and your fading flame
Life it feels like a frozen winter dream
Like a silent scream
Life it feels like a thousand frozen tears
And the night dwells within me
I can see you break down again
All your life you've been bound to treason
On your knees and your tears descend
Oh your life's a fallen season
And time can not heal these wounds my friend,
Not again
So here you'll stand to face the end
Beyond the silence
Where your voices whisper to my heart
In the midst of December
On a night that comes without a star
I fall into darkness
Like I've done a thousand times before
I've burned all bridges
Fuel is running, fuel is coming,
fuel is running down my face.
The line, the line,
the line is drawn.
It won't be long,
we have to be strong
before they drop
the final bomb.
Human target identified,
neurotic psychotic,
mutated spies.
We've got to make a stand,
we've got to kill the man.
Tonight is when we go,
tonight is when things
BLOW!
Full throttle ahead,
I think we're already dead,
the night is here,
I feel clear,
Lost in visions I see a land,
Hearts full of blissfulness
A life without a fight.
Lost in visions
A ship called "my saviour" sailed lonesome through times
The aim showing it the right direction was my salvation.
Downfall!
Die in pain
Downfall!
Die In hell
Downfall!
Fuckin' die
Downfall!
The ship passing through all storms,
Through fear, neediness and because danger,
"I saw you die
when you reached out to touch dreams transparent.
Yet you were always one step behind.
Life exhausted, will extinct.
The spark, your inner flame, faded away,
and the sound of rattling leaves, of grass,
motion by the wind, gently subsided.
And although you were descending, you did not know it.
Long ago in a fabled land
In dwelling caverns strangely dim
They seek the ruler's helping hand
Unknowing the evil side of him
Sorrowful demons now invade
Hearts of the innocent
Empty coffins, hand made
Send to the victims descent
"as my village dies," he cries
If I wait long enough someone might come out
If I tried I could be somebody else
So I follow false prophets walking down my street
To keep, keep me busy so soundly I sleep
But it's all in the downfall of me, all in the downfall
Don't bury my feet so I can't run
I'll be your martyr in bells
Well I've walked in your steps and held my breath
Until your words reached the air
Then I lied with the poets face first in the street
When the world cast it's shadow I became it's sheep
But it's all in the downfall of me, all in the downfall
So I follow false prophets walking down my street
To keep, keep me busy so soundly I sleep
I lied with the poets face first in the street
When the world cast it's shadow I became it's sheep
But it's all been the downfall, it's all been the downfall
It's all been the downfall of me
Whirling through claustrophobic tunnels
Thrown from side to side, relentlessly
I'm surrounded by viscous walls
That reach out for me
I flee with broken wings
Through the darkness of eternity
Shadows of memories repressed long ago
Pierce my thready mind
A flight from myself
A flight in myself
I flee with broken wings
Through realms of forgotten nightmares
Raped by the deepest fractions of my mind
It leaves me bleeding
A flight from myself
A flight in myself
But the fear abates
As my hope fades away
Every feeling subsides
Fear in me so deep it gets the best of me,
In the fear I fall, here it comes face to face with me,
Here I stand hold back so no one can see,
I feel these wounds, step down, step down,
step down.
(am I) Breaking Down
Can I break away
Push me away, make me fall,
Just to see, another side of me,
Push me away, you can see,
what I see, the other side of me.
Fall back on me, and I'll be the strength I need,
to save me now, just come face to face with me,
stay in place you'll be the first to see, me heal these wounds,
step down, step down, step down, down
I'm not breaking, down
can I break away
push me away, make me fall,
just to see another side of me,
push me away you can see,
what I see, the other side of me
Go!
Fall, can I break away
push me away, make me fall,
just to see another side of me,
push me away you can see,
what I see, the other side of me
No one can see anything on the other side of me
I walk, I crawl, loosing everything and waiting for the downfall
No one can see everything on the other side of me
I walk, I crawl loosing everything on the downfall.
Downfall, Fall.
Fear in me so deep it gets the best of me,
In the fear I fall, here it comes face to face with me,
Here I stand, hold back so no one can see,
I feel these wounds, step down, step down,
step down.
(am I) Breaking Down
Can I break away
Push me away, make me fall,
Just to see, another side of me,
Push me away, you can see,
what I see, the other side of me.
Fall back on me, and I'll be the strength I need,
to save me now, just come face to face with me,
stay in place you'll be the first to see, me heal these wounds,
step down, step down, step down, down
I'm not breaking, down
can I break away
push me away, make me fall,
just to see another side of me,
push me away you can see,
what I see, the other side of me
Go!
Fall, can I break away
push me away, make me fall,
just to see another side of me,
push me away you can see,
what I see, the other side of me
No one can see anything on the other side of me
I walk, I crawl, losing everything and waiting for the downfall
No one can see everything on the other side of me
I walk, I crawl losing everything on the downfall.
Downfall, Fall.
You've been on my back for far, far too long
Get out of my face, I have done nothing wrong
I'm tired of your lies, and I'm tired of your tries
It's sure not a crime, it's time your eulogized
It's time for your downfall
You've ask for a war now it's do or die
It's time for you downfall
I beg you, I beg you, I beg you to try...me
You look in my room and you look in my bed
It's none of your business NO! that's what I said
You preach you holy words and you do as you please
It's gonna be a showdown, I'll knock you to your knees
I've thought at night, I've wished aloud
I'm looking toward your downfall
It's going to be a sight, I'll be so proud
At the victory dance of your downfall
It's time for your downfall
You've ask for a war now it's do or die
It's time for you downfall
I beg you, I beg you, I beg you to try
If I catch you again, talking about my sins
There will be some action, and I know I'm going to win
I'm tired of your lies, and I'm tired of your tries
It's sure not a crime, it's time your eulogized
It's time for your downfall
You've ask for a war now it's do or die
It's time for you downfall
I beg you, I beg you, I beg you to try
It's time for your downfall
You've ask for a war now it's do or die
It's time for you downfall
I beg you, I beg you, I beg you to do...try
It's time for your downfall
In between our breaths we walk with the dead
Carrying our visions against sunset after sunset
Always a moment too soon to realize, always a moment to regret
I am falling through the footsteps of the past falling under the weight of the future
Sometimes i can only react, sometimes i am just an actor
All these images, haunt me like a life im trying to leave behind me
A ghost locked inside your shadow, an echo reaching into tomorrow
Where are our dreams of beauty?
Interrupted prayers behind closed doors
Sheltered by your reality
What is the future if it's made from wars?
How can you live your life on your knees when you know the truth that will set you free?
Reaching ends that are beginings
Awake or am i dreaming
Sever the sigh cross the line
Are we broken so shattered not to feel or are we just paying for what we steal?
How can we build trust that will last
When lie upon lie are burying the past
Morning comes with the fame
Leading towards the same end
Life ain't fair that's what I've been told
But I won't stay alone
By passing with the friends and their troubles
No wounds just broken souls
We will find a way
To high life, we'll never give in
Shout! - bow down
Shout! - Downfall
Shout! - bow down
Shout! - Downfall
Behind the mask and disguise
Lies a bitterness so fine
Touch my skin, oh so divine
And you won't stand alone
By passing with the friends and their troubles
No wounds just broken souls
We will find a way
To high life, we'll never give in
Shout! - bow down
Shout! - Downfall
Shout! - bow down
Shout! - Downfall
On with the show and shout
Bow down, to Downfall
On with the show and shout
Bow down, to Downfall
Bow, bow down
Shout! - bow down
Shout! - Downfall
Shout! - bow down
Shout! - Downfall
On with the show and shout
Bow down, to Downfall
On with the show and shout
Bow down, to Downfall
What you came for
What you really want
Feel it go and
Feel it come back around
Hang it over me
You build me up to bring me down
You take a part of me and spit me out
Just give it up before we drown
Before the little things
Become our downfall
What you care for
What you most despise
Feed it slowly
Feel it burning down
You hang it over me
You build me up to bring me down
You take a part of me and spit me out
Just give it up before we drown
Before the little things
Become our downfall
And what you're asking me to walk away from
What you want to be and who you are
And all the precious that you care for
You build me up to bring me down
You take a part of me and spit me out
Just give it up before we drown
Before the little things
Become our downfall
Before the little things
Become our downfall
Before the little things
With you I can walk across the sea
With you I can find the things that I couldn't believe before
With you I find the love that died long ago
With you I bring the light to where the sun won't show
With you I see all the things that bothered me for so long
The wrath of god, took the shelter of my sweetest suffering
With you I can sense the cool air
With you my heart is breaking when you say you don't believe
With you the seven deadly sins are gone away
You are the fresco of my love I heard you say
With you I see all the things that bothered me for so long
The wrath of god, took the shelter of my sweetest suffering
What you want me to be?
What you want me to be?
What you want me to be?
What you want me to be?
What you want me to be?
What you want me to be?
What you want me to be?
What you want me to be???
With you I see all the things that bothered me for so long
I've been sleepwalking from the day I died
And I've been soul-searching from the moment I tried
Tell me why I feel this way
Tell me where I should have gone
From the day I crossed the line
I've been lost again
I've been shadow casting from the moment I crossed the line
And I've been disloving, your heart it can't be mine
Tell me why I feel this way
Tell me where I should have gone
From the day I crossed the line
I've been lost again
I've been lost again my friend
And I know what's best for me
Though I know it's not good for you
I keep chasing it until it's gone
And I know what's best for me
Though I know it's not good for you
I keep chasing it until it's gone
Until it's gone
Until it's gone...
Until it's gone......
Until it's gone
Until it's gone...
I'm sitting in my room with this, needle in my hand
I watch the time go by, heavens turn to sand
I wish this night would end and the shadows go away
I'm scared of every move that I will ever make
I've got this revelation
I've seen this revelation
I've seen this revelation
I've got this revelation in front of my eyes...
I'm feeling so insecure - when I got this planet in my hands
I'm laying in the room with this, planet in my hand
Shadows descent like a wrath, my mind turns to dust
I wish this night would end and the shadows go away
Now I'm scared of every move when I cross my hands and pray
I've got this revelation
I've seen this revelation
I've seen this revelation
I've seen this revelation in front of my eyes...
I'm feeling so insecure - when I got this planet in my hands
I've seen the time go by - I've seen the heavens turn to sand
I've got this revelation
I'm feeling so insecure - when I got this planet in my hands
I've seen the time go by - I've seen the heavens turn to sand
I've got this revelation
I've got this revelation
I've got this revelation
Yeah, Downfall. This world, coming down.
Thinking about the good times on the bad where he was
going
living in slow motion didn't like what it was showing
thinking about his peers moving up and going forward
he was going back, losing, being lower
he got money and pays a coke and crystal
nagging his life so he got himself a pistol
found his girl, pulled the trigger, small problems now
looking biger bigger bigger.
The world dragged him down, dragged him down down down
he said you gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight,
fight without....hesitation!
North Berkeley. Scene of the crime. It was a
party....OUTA LINE!
Matt took a sucker punch straight to his head
he laid down on his back, we thought he was dead
we said, "matt wake up man, are you ok?"
He said, "yeah, lets get the kid before he gets away."
He chased the kid down, he didn't get far
we chased him down the street whopped him up against
the car
we said, "man, whats going on through you head?"
He said he hates this world, he'd rather be dead
The world dragged him down, dragged him down down down
he said you gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight,
fight without....hesitation!
Downfall. its like this, its like this
The world dragged him down, dragged him down down down
he said you gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight,
fight without....hesitation!
In your eyes, where I see only shades of gray
Now they're walking besides me
Give me something I can believe in she said, give me something I only see
Rip off these razorblades from my heart, don't drown me in this lake of sorrow
And say me your prayer...
It's the last one you'll ever gave, please hold on
Give me something give me more, something to bury
In disguise you walk beside me, in your eyes I see nothing more than pain
Give me something I can believe in she said, give me something I only see
Rip off these razorblades from my heart, don't drown me in this lake of sorrow
And say me your prayer...
It's the last one you'll ever gave, please hold on
Give me something give me more, something to bury
In your eyes, where I see only shades of gray
Now they're walking besides me
And say me your prayer...
It's the last one you'll ever gave, please hold on
Bless the rain while I sleep
Guard my waking moments too
Let me be while I'm dead
It's just another fall
Another fall with no return
Drift aside to see it too
Who aligned that rose to you
In vein to die behind
To fall
To fall
Flames,
Wash away our sins before the judgement
In flames
Wash away our sins before the judgement
If we don't try to hold on,
We've all been lost in flames
Flames
Wipe away our dreams and leave us in darkness
If we don't try to hold on,
We've all been lost and heartless
Come closer with your death
Pull the weakness away from you
I'll inhale that bloody fate
A fate that shows our dawn
A bloody fate that shows the dawn
Let it all end up in tears
Throw away what is to come
Doesn't hurt so much to lie
To lie, to lie
In flames
Wash away our sins before the judgement
If we don't try to hold on,
We've all been lost in flames
Flames
Wipe away our dreams and leave us in darkness
If we don't try to hold on,
We've all been lost and heartless
Flames
Wash away our sins before the judgement
Before the judgement
In flames
Wash away our sins before the judgement
If we don't try to hold on,
We've all been lost in flames flames
Wipe away our dreams and leave us in darkness
If we don't try to hold on,
We've all been lost and heartless
(Heartless)
Wash away our sins before the judgement
If we don't try to hold on,
Inside this hollow man, lies a hollow mind
Why did you treat me this way - you make me go away
Like an angel you came to me - with fire in your eyes
Like an angel you came to me - and you stayed in my mind
Let me tell you how I feel
Let me tell you how, when you walking away from me, I cry
Let me tell you how I feel
Let me tell you how, when you walking away from me, I cry
Inside this darkened mind - I'm a hollow soul
Why did you treat me this way - for you I went astray
Like an angel you came to me - with fire in your eyes
Like an angel you came to me - and you stayed in my mind
Let me tell you how I feel
Let me tell you how, when you walking away from me, I cry
Let me tell you how I feel
Let me tell you how, when you walking away from me, I...cry!
When you walking away from me I...cry
You...you put a thorn into my eye
You think that I'm longing to die
Torment is growing with every breath I take
You...you rip my soul from my heart
You killed the sun and now it's dark
Blinded by hate I am no longer same
And you...I can't explain to you why I'm walking away from you like this
I won't explain to you why I'm turning my head again and again
Hateshades upon me
All the tears are falling from the eye on you
You refuse to believe me
You think that I don't wanna live no more
And you...I can't explain to you why I'm walking away from you like this
I won't explain to you why I'm turning my head again and again
Hateshades upon me
All the tears are falling from the eye on you
You refuse to believe me
Prepare to what comes towards
My eyes are pointed elsewhere
Under is more to see than here
Let me go, let me out, let me fly
Let me be in my own dream
You could never set me free
Time after time it's the end of the story
Maybe it's time to let go
Time after time I'm defending from worry
Maybe it's time to let it go
Loose the tight grip you should
Stand beside of the mirror
What you see might disappear
Cry out, cry out forever
This is my life can't you see how
It would be better if you'd leave
Time after time it's the end of the story
Maybe it's time to let go
Time after time I'm defending from worry
Maybe it's time to let it go
Time after time it's the end of the story
Maybe it's time to let go
It's time to say farewell
I'm leaving for good now
It is time to let all go
Already dead everything that will follow
I've been here and lived my life
These silent thoughts they make me cry
Pushing me over the edge of life
I can't pretend no more, this is the end
And I'm trying to get over you
But I can't help myself no more
Step in to my shade
Join the dark parade
Laughter as I fail - I'm going down insane
Repeat verse
You pierce my soul, without the pain
Pull down the curtains baby it's time to lay
Pushing me over the edge of life
I can't pretend no more, this is the end
And I'm trying to get over you
But I can't help myself no more
Step in to my shade
Join the dark parade
Laughter as I fail - I'm going down insane
Repeat verse
Step in to my shade
Join the dark parade
Forgive myself the day she came
Tears of joy falling
As I repeat her name
It's eternal someone said
But it burned a while with glowing flame
Then fade away
I've been buried
For her sake
Dead and buried
For my mistake
I'm not the only one
I feel it in my veins
I'm not awake I am alone
She admires her glorious role
Dancing in the golden streets
While I stagger to her door
I welcome my fears while knowing
An angel changed the side
And I got crucified
I've been buried
For her sake
Dead and buried
For my mistake
I'm not the only one
I feel it in my veins
Wishing to go, wishing to fly
I'm not the only one
I feel it in my veins
Wishing to fly, wishing to go
I've been buried
Welcome to my isolation
I've been buried
I'm not the only one
I feel it in my veins
Wishing to go, wishing to fly
I'm not the only one
I can feel it in my veins
Wishing to fly, wishing to go
I'm not the only one
I can feel it in my veins
Wishing to go, wishing to fly
I'm not the only one
I can feel it in my veins
I thought I could live without you
I thought I could be without your touch
You're away, I'm here and my soul is withering
I thought I could live without you
I thought I could be without your love
You're away, I'm here and my heart is withering
I thought I could live without your love, well oh no
I thought I could be without your touch
But now I'm withering
I thought I could live without your love, well oh no
I thought I could be without your touch
But now I'm withering
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I thought I could live without you
I thought I could be without your touch
You're away, I dwell here and my heart is withering
I thought I could live without your love, well oh no
I thought I could be without your touch
But now I'm withering
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I thought I could live without your love...
I thought I could be without your touch
But now I'm withering
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
I'm waiting again
Have nothing left to say
You wish that I
Would be something else
I'm vanishing away
In pandemonium
I lie when I say that
I could be the way you want
And I'm wasting my time
Where's the feel that I should estimate
No, oh no!
In this night that shines
Right through my eyes and you.
I'm still standing here
I have nothing left to say
You wish that I
Could fly in to the stars
I'm vanishing away
In pretending moment
I lie when I say that
I could be the way you want
I'm running away
And I won't get back to you
And I'm wasting my time
Where's the feel that I should estimate
No, oh no!
In this night that shines
Right through my eyes
That falls over you
Where's the feeling that I should estimate
No, oh no!
In this night that shines
Right through my eyes and you.
And I'm wasting my time
Where's the feeling that I should estimate
No, oh no!
In this night that shines
Right through my eyes
That falls over you
Where's the feeling that I should estimate
No, oh no!
In this night that shines
I broke the cycle of my love
Someone told me I can't go wrong
In these eyes I see all black
There's no time, no will to turn back
If you say you were there just for me
Why did you choose another way
You left me all alone in the dark
Why did you leave me, why did you go away
I'm killing you with my hands and then I go away
I'm killing you
You left me here with no love
Well, I'm dying within my heart
In these eyes I see all black
There's no time no will to turn back
If you say you were there just for me
Why did you choose another way
You left me all alone in the dark
Why did you leave me, why did you go away
I'm killing you with my hands and then I go away
I'm killing you with my hands and then I go away
I'm killing you with my hands and then I go away
Oh, I'm killing you - every day
When I'm all alone...my wounds are shown
Why did you leave me and left me bleeding on my own
I'm killing you with my hands and then I go away
I'm killing you with my hands and then I go away
I'm killing you with my hands and then I go away
I gave you everything, I gave you all my love
You pushed me away you threw my back against the wall
I wanna hear you say: hate!
Time has come to pay!
I'll come to you with the fear I don't know where to go
I don't know where I'm coming from
I'm coming to you with the fear I don't know where to go
I don't know where I'm coming from
Since the day you passed away you've been within my heart
Now I'm closing the door I cannot live with you no more
Hey I wanna hear you say: hate!
Time has come to pay!
I'll come to you with the fear I don't know where to go
I don't know where I'm coming from
I'm coming to you with the fear I don't know where to go
I don't know where I'm coming from
I'll come to you with the fear I don't know where to go
I don't know where I'm coming from
I'm coming to you with the fear I don't know where to go
I don't know where I'm coming from
Repeat verse
Where I'm coming from...no, no
Where I'm coming from
Father, into the dark you fell
Spirits worn by an atrocity
Mere deception to us all
They never knew what you would be
As you climbed that burning wall
You betrayed your destiny
I fought you hard and took you down
But to kill machine is to raise the ground
A distorted mind raised an imperial dream
Empirical lies aren't what they seem
Hey! Here we're fighting and we're onto your army of clones
Uninvolved mass material lies won't depart or deplete the drones
You fought the truth
Your empire is this armageddon
So quit lying to yourself and betray your loyalty
Fate wrapped it's hand around my neck
And gripped until I took that final fatal step
And trap myself inside these goddamn walls
But the anger I sedate evolves the reasons why I stay
Your empire is this armageddon
So quit lying to yourself and betray your loyalty
Just a memory brings me down and I will fight you in the end
Like the betrayal to a king, the unloyal blood will bleed
Your empire is this armageddon
When the dark throws you down, and you learn to survive
You wake up and remember what it's like to be alive.
When I'm the sun, I'll count the worlds and make them mine.
I'm sick of making all the same mistakes over (and over) again
Will I ever be left alone to mend?
I'll never make all the same mistakes over and over again
Now I've seen what I could become
And I don't want to.
I carried these burdens for too long.
Went along with all the mess.
But it has made me who I am today,
Still standing after all these years.
We are the living dead
We are the living dead
We are the living dead
I know that this life is in our hands
And I know that we wont last forever
But let's make this chance our last.
Don't be scared of any new endeavors.
When I'm the sun,
I'll count the worlds and make them mine.
Because when I'm the sun,
I'll count the worlds and make them mine.
I'm sick of making all the same mistakes over (and over) again
Will I ever be left alone to mend?
I'll never make all the same mistakes over and over again
Now I've seen what I could become,
I don't want to become that no more.
I'm over it, and I'm over it all...
When you find it's not something that you
want and when you find it's someone else
lying there with nothing left to say this
tiny space feels worlds apart because we're
just living private lives after all and I can't
remember if I cared at all and I can see the
future you cling to hope can't see the forest
for the trees because we're just living private
lives free falling in the dark with our hands
Wild Face
Burned With Yearning
Bloody Meadows, Forced To Hate
In Their Hands, Pain Keeps Growing
The Veil Of Promise, Shows NO Stains
The System Fails
The Sky Comes Down
Misery Is Ending
Clouds Pore Down
Rains Of Sorrow
The Downfall Starts
We Eat Our Own Full Weight
Of Misery, Grieve And Hate
Thinking That We'll Survive
Growing Enstranged
We Eat Our Own Full Weight
Of Misery, Grieve And Hate
Thinking That We'll Survive
Growing Enstranged
Wild Face
Burned With Yearning
Bloody Meadows, Forced To Hate
In Their Hands, Pain Keeps Growing
The Veil Of Promise, Shows NO Stains
World is shaking,
Earth is quaking,
Time is stalling,
Sky is falling,
A comets bearing,
Down upon this planet,
Ice is melting,
Sea is swelling now.
I will break the fall,
When your tumberling down, tumberling down,
Bombs they fall like rain,
I will subdue the pain,
The downfall is over.
You stand up and,
Rise against the panic,
You fade out,
Out across the horizon.
I will break the fall,
When your tumberling down, tumberling down,
Bombs they fall like rain,
I will subdue the pain,
The downfall is over.
Overcome the downfall,
Break the mould,
Release the tension,
Make this hold (Make this hold)
I will break the fall,
When your tumberling down, tumberling down,
Bombs they fall like rain,
I will subdue the pain,
Fetid fruitcake
Rank Rapunzel
Took my tonsils
As a morsel
Down deep-fried it
Dipped in batter
Just devour
It don't matter
Just devour
Any loser
That you pick up
In your cruiser
Like talkin' into a brick wall
You're headed for a downfall
Walk into a brick wall
You're headed for a downfall
DOWNFALL
And I hope you choke upon it
Your presence makes me vomit
You're headed for a downfall
DOWNFALL
Gone
Is the early blossom
Along with all those springs
That you have missed
And noone will ever pay
For your pain
All needlessly taken
Force yourself to shut your eyes
Let it grow inside
Rip its way out
Hate
A loathsome heritage
Poor man’s delight
Ensorcelled by visionary horizons
You rush for and almost kiss the sky
Surrounded by glaring sober light
We just stand there wordless
And witness your fall
Fall into the depths of guilt
Bare the immense horror of the unknown
Plunge into the see of conscience
Where no man stands tall
Will you ever reach its shores
Gone
Are the early years
Along with all those dreams
That have kept you alive
And noone will ever pay
For your pain
All that you took for its intense thrive
Force yourself to shut your eyes
Let it grow inside
Rip its way out
Hate
A loathsome heritage
An unbearable burden
The venomous seed
It’ll be my downfall
Don’t try and save me
In the mountains waiting
Forming diamonds
When you see the crowd run
Follow your daydreams
Your heart is waking
Rising higher
Change, You’ll always see the change…
In a reckless downpour
Feelin kinda hazy
Supersonic phasing
Lightning fire
Double time but too far
From what the day means
Muscle up but stay lean
You can find your
Change, You’ll always see the change…
I the mighty thunder, but I feel the shame
Chase the reckless wonder, but I know you’re for the game
I know you’re for the game
Summertime in your arms
But I’m still freezing
Didn’t you believe that fate surrounds us
In a reckless downpour
I feel you near me
It felt so easy
Please come be my
Change, you’ll always see the change…
I the mighty thunder, but I feel the shame
Chase the reckless wonder, but I know you’re for the game
I know you’re for the game
Time will open your eyes you’ll see the place it leads
Wait, you’re fighting away, fighting against what’s coming
I the mighty thunder, but I feel the shame
Chase the reckless wonder, but I know you’re for the game
I know you’re for the game
I the mighty thunder, but I feel the shame
Chase the reckless wonder, but I know you’re for the game
Chorus:
Why are you leaving me
Why can't you see me too,
Why's it just have to be
I'm in a downfall
What's did I do wrong
Why are you ignoring me
It's been so long
Since I could finally see
It's been crawling
In the back of my head
It's been clawing
Breaking me away
Chorus:
You've been lowering
My self-esteem
My brain's rotting slowly
I've been blowing off steam
It's been crawling
Trying to get free
I'm suffering insanely
Bringing myself down
Chorus:(2x)
Bridge:
Please I'm begging you
Set me free
I wasn't lying to you
Help me
I'm in a downfall
Went along the line without a solid sound. Running with
the hare and hunting with the hounds. Floating between
the devil and the deep blue sea. Disorder rules this
heart among the bright minds. The one that bares the sin
is burning inside. Picking the wrong side in this desire
to copy.
Fighting the weight of this world everything has gone
down (down) crawling from below never be broken time has
come to break out. Living reflections.
Disorder rules this heart among the bright minds the one
that bares the sin is burning inside.
Fighting the weight of this world. Everything has gone
down (down) I'll bury my head in my hands casting aside.
Shutting them out we went along the line without a solid
sound.
Running with the hare and hunting with the hounds.
Floating between the devil and the deep blue sea. Picking
[Verse 1:]
today the music is raped by its lovers
they have no skills and just cope with covers
all you reaching for is making some money
but when you have met us it will end being funny
[Chorus:]
go back to where you have come from
else we have to bring down the sun
so that you will die with torture
thats what i'll have better told ya
[Verse 2:]
for your little singing you're getting a big check
but when you're on stage we only hear playback
we cannot wait to see you dying
'cause then for us the sun will be shining
[Chorus:]
go back to where you have come from
else we have to bring down the sun
so that you will die with torture
thats what i'll have better told ya
[Interlude]
run, if you want to live on
fight, if you're having a fall
kill yourself, if you want to escape
