Oh you, you walk on past
Your lips cut a smile
on your face
Your scalding face
To the cage, to the cage
She was a beauty in a cage
Too, too high a price
To drink rotting wine from your hands
Your fearful hands
Get me to a doctor's I've been told
Someone's back in town
the chips are down
I just cut and blackout
I'm under Japanese influence
And my honour's at stake
The weather's grim, ice on the cages
Me, I'm Robin Hood
and I puff on my cigarette
Panthers are steaming,
stalking, screaming
If you don't stay tonight
I will take that plane tonight
I've nothing to lose,
nothing to gain
I'll kiss you in the rain
Kiss you in the rain
Kiss you in the rain
In the rain
Get me to the doctor
Get me off the streets
(get some protection)
Get me on my feet
(get some direction)
Hot air gets me into a blackout
Oh, get me off the streets
Get some protection
Oh get me on my feet (wo-ooh!)
While the streets block off
Getting some skin exposure to the blackout
(get some protection)
Get me on my feet
(get some direction, wo-ooh!)
Oh get me on my feet
Get me off the streets
I'm stuck in this bed you made
Alone with a sinking feeling
I saw through the words you said
To the secrets you'd been keeping
It's written upon your face
All the lies how they cut so deeply
You can't get enough you take and take and take and never say
No, You gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down blackout blood in your eye
You say that it's not your fault
And swear that I am mistaken
You said it's not what it seems
No remorse for the trust your breaking
You run but then back you fall
Suffocate from the mess your making
You can't get enough you take and take and take and take
F**k it are you listening
No, You gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, You'll never get it inside
Push it back down
You push it back down
No, You gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No you'll never get it inside
Push it back down blackout blood in your eye
(Black out blood in your eye and You push it back down mixed)
Floating down
As colors fill the light
We look up from the ground
In fields of paperwhite
And floating up
You pass us in the night
A future gazing out
A past to overwrite
So come down
Far below
We've been waiting to collect the things you know
Come down
Far below
We've been waiting to collect what you've let go
Come down oh
Come down oh
Come down oh
I realize I missed a day
But I'm too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and see this face
What the hell have I lost my taste
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
My head explodes, my ears ring
I can't remember just where I've been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
I grab my things and make my run
On the way out, another one
Would like to know before I stop
Did I make it or did I flop
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
I really had a blackout, baby
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out
Blackout
Blackout
Jay! Fuck that
This is it right here baby!
You know what it is
Yo, I used to have bad luck
Now you might see me in a Jag truck
Mad stuck either with a dime or a bad duck
Double R T with the matchin bandana
38-snub blue steel with no hammer
And I see all ya niggaz tryin to glance at the Kiss
Cuz I walk around with your whole advance on my wrist
Phonin your women, drunk off Corona's and lemon
And you know I'm still right in the main
Light in the green
I need to bug it even though I look right in the beam
Judge find out it's my team, he boost they bails
Niggaz floss on their album, try to boost their sales
We put our pies on the table when our eyes on a label
Cuz them rednecks up in the mountains will try to slay you
Call me raspy tell you what I want you to know
Fuck what you ask me you probably don't want me to blow
I got a lot of horsepower so I'm able to stick
Usually a good nigga even though I'm able to flip
You pay 30 for the 'Kiss, 100 for The L.O.X
And if we coo', then I write a hook for a drop
Whatever's in the bank is my bet
A zebu's my pet
And get in the bed and with the legs then that
Aiyyo, when my gun bust send niggaz to the fish like swamps and
New York's youngest Bumpy Johnson
I put fear in y'all heads
Sheek looks type a nigga that gasoline yall beds
And that's warning
If you all alive in the morning, that's fine
Now I suggest you hit the block and get what's rightfully mine
I want PC, see me tuck in your chains
I got niggaz my pops say that lifestyle ain't changed
It's like wake up move a brick half-of-a-slow
Make car money check with Sheek go fuck with a hoe
I rock a waste slim mink do-rag under my fitted
And I don't need rework waves, Timbs be halfway new
That Sheek in the dresser club cuz I don't fuck with shoes
And from a nigga's life, I swear to the Bible, let it be told
I put 30 in your head, all in the same hole
Cuz we all got the same goal and you tryin to tamper with mine
Don't make me mothafuckin leave you with some shit in your spine
Fuck with me, you be a was nigga
Nigga was dope
Nigga was gettin money before I extorted your coke
What, you crazy?
Aiyyo, catch me with a 38, box and shells
In a 98 Lincoln eatin pasta shells
Order to go, always got a box of L's
Blow, stay on the low
Get a Henney and swig
I Penuro so I hate a snake, rat, or a pig
I pop shit cuz I'm the second best, the first was B.I.G.
Y'all niggaz is shunned out, let me speak to your father
Cuz I like to play chess and I swing the revolver
If I don't like a nigga, I don't even be bothered
I spit, I'm just a crooked nigga goin legit
You hold your nine if you holdin a brick
Common sense, that drama, you hit the Bahamas, get bent
L.O.X. get respect like Sunny from Bronx Tale
Us and DMX, the Ruff Ryder cartel
Thirsty to live all y'all niggaz eager to die
I tell all my niggaz ride
You won't leave with a dime, motherfuckers
Yeah, yeah, I'm a monster
Sleep whole winters, wake up and spit summers
Ghetto nigga puttin up Will Smith numbers
Surrounded by 6's and Hummers
Bitches among us
Try not to let this bullshit become us
This started from hunger, tell it all when they sane
Now bitches notice the chains now that I've hit my number
The chickens I twisted see the digits unlisted
The beeper done change
You dead bitch, the Reaper done came
I suggest niggaz stop speakin my name
Cause trust me, y'all can still feel the heat in the rain
I keep creepin, streets keep watchin I keep poppin
Niggaz is hot heads and the bullets is heat-seekin
Jay flow pesos chase hoes NOT
I just circle around the block in a drop
Tell them to jump through the top
Where the sun roof used to be
I could see y'all not used to me
Nigga flows like none other
I'm the meanest, toughest Don Dutta, the gun butcha
You the type that bust a lot of shots and none touch ya
I'm the type that get excited when the gun touch ya
Motherfuckers
I'm headed nowhere fast run in the place gun in my waste
Niggaz wanted to taste but wouldn't come to my face
So what that mean you cats is playin games again
So what I do start namin names again (what!)
All you motherfuckers know that I speak from the heart(uh!)
Play like you dunno and L.O.X. is gonna bark
We can take it there but to make it fair, get some mo niggaz
Styles, Sheek, Jay we comin with like 4 niggaz (aight!)
Y'all niggaz besta stop playin
It'd be the ones you forgotten about
That'll get you shot in your mouth
*ARF! ARF!* Got my dogs covered
Plus it's all gravy like chicken when it's smothered
It's dark and I LOVE IT! get him, boy let him loose
(Meine, Rarebell, Kittelsen)
I realize I missed a day
But I'm too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and see this face
What the hell have I lost my taste
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
My head explodes, my ears ring

Approach me with extreme caution, OH NOW YOU FORCIN'?
My hand that rock yo' cradle often I'm hot-scorchin',

If you smell what Tical cookin',

So til ya gon' stop lookin', know what you did last

Offer open can of ass-whoopin'?
Ain't no tomorrow's in the Method's Little Shop Of
Horrors

With deadly medley, ya'll ain't ready for Shakwon and

Alright then, ya man got slapped up extorted for his

Streetlife is triflin' *Body over here...!
Nigga pull a Tyson and bite a nigga' ear
Precisin', slicin' juggerless the cut-crew
Ruggeder, Predator, Viking, excetera
People's champ, niggaz be takin' off competetors
Reachin' for the microphone, relax and light a bone
Straight from the Catacombs
The Children Of The Corn, that don't got a clue
Prepare for desert storm!
I scored 1.1 on my SAT
And still push a whip with a right and left AC
Gorilla, Big Dog, if my name get called
I'm behind the brickwall with arsenic Jars
Spit poison, got a gun permit draw
Gundown at Sundown you keep score!
This training-course and ya'll ain't fit
On my crew-tombstone put 'We All Ain't Shit'
Yo', all you gonna be, wanna be When will you learn?
Wanna be Doc and Meth? Gotta wait ya turn
I spit a .41 Revolver on New Year's Eve
With the mic in my hand I mutilate m.c.'s
The most slept on since Rip Van Wink
My shit stink with every element from A to Zinc
So what you think? I'm a blackout on just one drink?
You must be crazy! A little off the wall maybe
Get Drunk

Breathe In

Don't Breathe
Don't Breathe

Don't Talk Until You're Spoken To
Don't Talk Until You're Spoken To
Don't Breath

I'm feelin' like
I ain't feelin' right
I'm feelin' like
I'm feelin' fly
Right in the sky
Unidentified
Flying object
That a sinners hide
You can get a ride
Just get in line
Hand by your heart
Like memorize
Ask God please
Could you energize?
Beam on up
To the Enterprise
From the inner-city
Or the winter-city
Where's Mini-mini?
Not Mini-me's
Only Mini-me's
Not a lot of hymns
Only one eye
Whole lot of them
Saw a cyclops
That's a eye clock
Like a Rolex
With a eye patch
See what I got
Matches on the wall
Plus a crazy flow
Suicide watch
I'm just killin' time
Plus I'm insane
In a straight jacket
But it's Romanelli
I'm just gettin' back
For now it's kinda poor
Want to have things
Couldn't afford a Pelle
So don't mind me
'cause I ain't got a mind
I'm from Ha--
I ain't got a mind
I'm just gettin' mine
But don't step here
Because it's unbear
That I didn't find
Nympho mo' top
Like a mohawk
I remember when
I was so not
It was no locks
Man I couldn't ball
I was so bald
Robocop
I was Mr. Clean
Now I'm Mr. T
But a different team
F & F rules
Call me F.I.
From the west side
And I'm underground
Pepperin' you fool (yeah homey)
Creepin' on her, come up mystery, we gonna rewrite that
Left for a minute but I tell you I'll be right back
I know you're slummin' and you feel me want to be like that
Well you can't see me, that's 'cause everything is black
(Black
And I'm feelin' good
Like a villian would
If he was doin' bad
Kill Superman
Tied to a log
Push into a saw
Take a little dog
Right through the fan
Enemy man
Like a dictionary
Like a definition
Like you never listen
Not the issue is it
But the deaf part
Break it in half
Like an intermission
You'll see then
What I mean then
Or what I meant there
Doesn't impair
Now you're learnin' it
Keep versin' it
'til it's permanent
Like pen-pal
Got an empire
I'm the emperor
Like the cat were
I'll be faster
Are you tryin' to ask her
Just slow me down
But I'm goin' down
Like a network
That's wolf-man
You got a full house
I got a full moon
Then I pull out
The ace-summer sleeve
Like my hand hurt
Lend me your chips
What they took now
What they put now
Gotta look down
And check your shoulder
'cause I'll be over
Like a boater
You got boaters
In your loafers
Put your foot down
While I ottoman
Or a Laz-E-Boy
Or a handstand
See I elevate
L.A., Otis
My toes is
And my flow sick
Let it marinate
Try to break it down
Might take a while
All good though
I'll wait around
While you chase it down
That white rabbit
Down that long hole
Like paper towels (yeah homey)
Creepin' on her, come up mystery, we gonna rewrite that
Left for a minute but I tell you I'll be right back
I know you're slummin' and you feel me want to be like that
Well you can't see me, that's 'cause everything is black
(Black
, everything is black)
(Black
, you can't see me)
So this light's out
Like a lighthouse
In the daytime
Make it lay down
Make it go to bed
Make it go to sleep
Like D-bo
Who needs jumpin' cred
That's a headlock
It's what I said I got
The whole game is
Like shooter box
Then the Shokazuki
If you don't know the movies
I ninja vanish
Michael Dudikoff
I get super low
I get super lost
I be super cool
Like a super boss
Say they super bad
But they super soft
Like super chicken
Without the super sauce
Let's step out
It's a rap now
Blow your candles
And your lamps out
When I pull up
You can pull the plug
'cause it's game over
It's a black out
Creepin' on her, come up mystery, we gonna rewrite that
Left for a minute but I tell you I'll be right back
I know you're slummin' and you feel me want to be like that
Well you can't see me, that's 'cause everything is black
(Black
, everything is black)
(Black
Don't you ask me to come out
When the sun does shine
Let us stay here with curtains drawn
In darkness you'll be mine
Let's wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night
Well welcome to my basement flat
No windows to see through
When darkness falls again, my friend
We'll both know what to do
Let's wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night
Come walk with me upon the earth
That keeps us both alive
No living thing has lasted here
Yet we can both survive
Let's wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night
In darkness there is no sin
Light only brings in fear
Nothing to corrupt the eyes
There is no vision here
At first you may find it strange
But please don't go away
There's power in the nighttime
That you won't find in the day
There is no vision here
don't kid yourself
and don't fool yourself
this love's too good to last
and i'm too old to dream
don't grow up too fast
and don't embrace the past
this life's too good to last
and i'm too young to care
don't kid yourself
and don't fool yourself
this life could be the last
I blackout!!
Don’t you put words in my mouth
Don’t try to shut me up
I’m not about plastic skin
I gotta get out, gotta get out, in
What about those things you said to me
What about the time we’ve wasted
Everyday’s just like the one before
Everytime I see your face…..
I blackout
You know I gotta get in
Just let me in
You know I gotta get in
But, I gotta know now, where do I fit in
I blackout…
Don’t you tell me what to think
You’ll never know how I should feel
I see through plastic skin,
I gotta get out gotta get out, in
What about the 5 o’clock news
What about the Sunday paper
Every day’s just like the one before
Everytime I turn the page…..
I can’t breathe –
My heart is freezing
While we pray
My soul is packing its bags…. and leaving
Blackout!! What about those things you said to me…
[Scorpions]
I realize I missed a day
But I'm too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and and see this face
What the hell have I lost my taste
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
My head explodes, my ears ring
I can't remember just where I've been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
Blackout
I really had a Blackout
I grab my things and make a run
On my way out, another one
Would like to know before I stop
Did I make it or did I flop
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out
Blackout
I really had a Blackout
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out
Blackout
I really had a Blackout
It's frightening
How you can see the changes happening
When they move so fast
And lightning
Except the odds are growing
These lonely times will strike me twice
The screams of 1,000 voices
Are whispers inside my head
The echoes of self defense
So how many times will it take
To cover up the past mistakes
And hide behind a crying you face of shame
And how many nights will I hide
and blink under the blackened skies
I've cursed out so many times
Its biting
when the cold wind blows through weathered eyes
and blistered skin
it's quiet now
it's like the calm before the raging violence of the storm begins
and when this comes crashing down
I'll fall harder than before
I'll start this all over now
So how many times will it take
To cover up the past mistakes
And hide behind a crying face of shame
And how many nights will I hide
and blink under the blackened skies
I've cursed out so many times before
I'll beg for the ending or just for forgiveness
I'll wait in the shadows of a battle I'm close to losing
So how many times will it take
To cover up this smiling face of silence
This face of shame
And how many nights will I hide
and blink under the blackened skies
[Chorus]
Will there be someone to hold
when the lights go out
Will I be left in the cold
when the lights go ..
Blackout
I was once
the girl that meet your world
stand still
Don't you remember
In a corner of my mind
I keep the memory
of every little thing you said
you remember me
[Chorus]
You're the one
living underneath
my skin
Don't you remember
In a corner of my mind
I keep the memory
of every little thing you said
you remember me
[Chorus]
Ohohoh...
Don't you know me
don't you recognize me
don't you
wonder why
I just drove under the blinking sign
To where New Jersey meets the New York line
And through the tunnel for the last time
With everything crumbling behind
I stood still until I felt the shakes
Of two bodies that were parting ways
I didn't want to be the one to say
I know this hurts but it's time to break
In two pieces, two fault line's not secure
I'll burn a bridge if needed to get back to her
I feel like I am paralyzed
When I look at the empty space left in my bed
And think about all the things we did
At least I'm feeling more alive
But I still have some old weight that I've got to shed
Before I find happiness
I make mountains out of my worries
And I plant pain instead of sturdy trees
I have got to wash these old sheets
So I can fall asleep
There are times, there are times I reach for the phone
To tell you that there might still be some hope
Holding on, holding on to the slack of rope
But that's the whiskey talking, so
I hope that you can find some peace in life
Can you survive without me 'cause I thought I'd be fine?
Now I'm slurring every single line
I feel like I am paralyzed
When I look at the empty space left in my bed
And think about all the things we did
At least I'm feeling more alive
But I still have some old weight that I've got to shed
I've got to move on before I can find happiness
This isn't fair, nobody taught me how to let go?
Just be here now and you'll be set free from sorrow
But at this time I don't see clearly how will I know
What is the point, what is the meaning? How to let go?
I'm struggling, I blackout so I can dream
But I still see you sneaking through my weary head
I suffer from a drought of medicine to dull self-doubt
I just wanna drown you out with southern poison
If I had a drink for every goddamn time I think
About your pale skin dressed in pink
Then at least I could sleep
If I had a shot for every goddamn time I thought
About your face and what I lost
At least I'd get some sleep
Sleep, sleep
At least I'd get some sleep
Sleep, sleep
I couldn't fake it
We wouldn't make it
I couldn't give enough to you
I couldn't take it
You found my replacement
I'll never wake up next to you
Yeah
You wouldn't listen anymore
No one listens anymore
You couldn't give it anymore
It's a blackout
I couldn't break it
I tried to sedate it
I'll never give it up to you
Yeah
You wouldn't listen anymore
No one listens anymore
You couldn't give it anymore
It's a blackout
These are the answers that you couldn't handle
now you're on your own
These are the answers that you couldn't handle
now you're on your own
So much time's gone by
So much time could buy
I couldn't fake it
You found my replacement
yeah
You wouldn't listen anymore
No one listens anymore
You wouldn't give it anymore
It's a blackout (I'm gonna turn your lights out)
It's a blackout (I'm gonna turn your lights out)
It's a blackout (I'm gonna turn your lights out)
It's a blackout (I'm gonna turn everything out)
(Anderson)
I'm not interested in what you have to say
You're just a vacant space
Other people's lives upon which you prey
It's a permanent disgrace
Why do you think you know what's best for me
What I should and shouldn't do
Why do you judge my history
And tell me to improve
In the confines of your mind
You think we're all the same
I've left them all behind
Though you wish I hadn't
In finding fault in others I can't see
What you have to gain
I know that you get pleasure from
Other people's pain
You're not so perfect and I realise the scene
That you're all coming from
When you say you care I know what you mean
You're really lying
All the people around here
Love to hear about a fall
They all surface and disappear
In an instant
In the confines of your mind
You think we're all the same
I've left them all behind
Through you wish I hadn't
Tragedy.
Another day lies broken and lost.
A shattered life cuts the pulse of acceptance.
And all I want is to be something more then this.
Another day lies broken and lost.
A shattered life cuts the pulse of Acceptance.
And all I want is to be anything but this.
Sleepless nights spent screaming for answers.
Cursing sweet venom at a wretched future.
An open casket stained with hope.
Laced with deceit and treachery.
An existence I only wish to forget.
Why do I always regret?
Those words leave the taste of blood.
Forget my face.
Just bury everything.
Why do I always let it go?
'cause I've let it slip away between my finger tips.
I've tried so fucking hard and still I could never gain a true understanding.
Chocking at our misery.
Splinters of failure cut like glass.
And I'm sick of just pouring myself out into careless hands.
Choking on our misery.
Splinters of failure cut like glass.
But I'll put it to rest tonight in the hope that maybe I wont have to wake.
Ill put it all to rest tonight.
[Chorus:]
Girl, I see you with your friends and your ass out

Blackout, blackout, Blackout, blackout, Blackout
If you getting money, pull your cash out!
[Verse 2 - Meek Mill:]
Diamond in my chain, Whoopi Goldberg, black as shit
Black Breitling all on my wrist, bitch I’m Bernie Mackin’ it
Get some Geicko for that hoe, before it be an accident
Cuz I be shitting on these niggas, like I took a laxative
I bring a bitch down, like I break a brick down
Chopper with a drum, hoe 86 rounds
I could make it rain and make a hater sit down
And I ain’t trying to save no chick, I’m trying to make a bitch drown
And I be swimming all in that money, diving all in that paper
Black phantom with no tint, styling out on them haters
Your team vs my team, Cavaliers vs. Lakers
I make a movie all on your bitch, scream free TIP I take her
[Chorus:]
Girl, I see you with your friends and your ass out
Just left stage, bout to cash out
One more drink and ima pass out
Can’t nobody see me? It’s a blackout
Blackout, blackout, Blackout, blackout, Blackout
Can’t nobody see me? It’s a blackout
Blackout, blackout, Blackout, blackout, Blackout
[Meine/Schenker/Rarebell/Kittelsen]

[Bonus Track]
I realize I missed the day
But I'm too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and see the face
What the hell have I lost my taste
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
My head explodes, my ears ring
I can't remember just where I've been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
I grab my things and make a run
On my way out, another one
Would like to know before I stop
Did I make it or did I flop
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out
Blackout
I really had a blackout
By-standers, who claim to be innocent, who are just
looking on
Look at this, I'm gathering up all the filth, I will show
it to you
You can't change anything
I realize I missed a day, but I'm too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and see this face, what the hell have I lost my taste
Don't want to find out, just want to cut out
My head explodes, my ears ring, I can't remember just where I've been
The last thing that I recall, I got lost in a deep black hole
Don't want to find out, just want to cut out
Blackout, I really had a blackout
Blackout, I really had a blackout
Blackout, I really had a blackout
Blackout, I really had a blackout
I grab my things and make my run, on my way out, another one
Would like to know before I stop, did I make it or did I flop
Don't want to find out, just want to get out
Blackout, I really had a blackout
Blackout, I really had a blackout
Blackout, I really had a blackout
Blackout, I really had a blackout
Oh, ah, I really had a blackout, baby
Don't want to find out, just want to get out
Blackout, I really had a blackout
Blackout, I really had a blackout
Blackout, I really had a blackout
[M and L: T. Eriksson]
What would you say if I threw it all away
The life that I lead could it be more surreal
[BRIDGE]
Searching in my mind in the order to find some sense of reality
I fear that I am beginning to lose what's left of my sanity
Awake again full of bloodstains on my hands
I wonder where I have been whose death I have foreseen
Breaking my will with the purpose to kill all shreds of humanity
To lose the control of body and soul is my main anxiety
[CHORUS]
Something's coming over me my reality slowly slipping away
I just can't remember but can't seem to forget
Who I am blacked out again
Can't longer say what is real and what is a dream
The demon is rising up from far deep down within
I have fallen into the deths of sin
Where the humanity ends and pain begins
Breaking free from this torment I must do
asking, permission denied
to self medicate this way once in a while
aren't you afraid of everything
your love so ??? you can't appreciate anything
down on the sofa with a record running
baby i can't help letting you down
letting you down
letting you down
got your rejection, denied, crying
coming apart right here before your eye
you aren't disappointed, are you now
i'm still listening, just tell me what you want
i won't feel a thing, just tell me what you want
leaving you alone wasn't my decision
baby it's not easy letting you down
letting you down
letting you down
Oh here you go
Due on the stage for another marionette show
Just when
You thought you could fight this battle
They moved the sunset strip
To Seattle
It's like a Blackout in California
And then somebody left the door open
After 15 drummers and 22 Les Pauls broken
He said Son, we're gonna make you a star
Like Tom Petty, Gene Simmons, and The Cars
Until a Blackout in California
It's like a Blackout in California yea
I'm on your plane finding my rage
In your life story, I'm just one page
It's like a Blackout in California
It's like a Blackout in California
Cut up and I can't feel my hands
No need to chase
Can you relate?
Can you keep up the pace like you're dying for this?
And when you say "I'm not okay,"
I left my phone in the cab
Now you can't get me
I'm only getting started
I won't blackout
This time I've got nothing to waste
Let's go a little harder
I'm on fire
I won't blackout
I'm on my way
I'm only getting started
And I can't see your face
Cigarette the wrong way
Inhale to the top of my lungs
I'll be dying for this
And when you say "I'm not okay,"
I left my phone in the cab
Now you can't get me
I'm only getting started
I won't blackout
This time I've got nothing to waste
Let's go a little harder
I'm on fire
I won't blackout
I'm on my way
I'm only getting started
I won't blackout
This time I've got nothing to waste
Let's go a little harder
I'm on fire
I won't blackout
I'm on my way
I'm only getting started
This won't stop 'til I say so
This won't stop 'til I say so
This won't stop 'til I say so
Going and going and going and going and go
This won't stop 'til I say so
This won't stop 'til I say so
This won't stop 'til I say so
Going and going and going and going and go
I'm only getting started
I won't blackout
This time I've got nothing to waste
Let's go a little harder
I'm on fire
I won't blackout
I'm on my way
I'm only getting started
I won't blackout
This time I've got nothing to waste
Let's go a little harder
I'm on fire
I won't blackout
I'm on my way
I'm only getting started
This won't stop 'til I say so
This won't stop 'til I say so
This won't stop 'til I say so
Going and going and going and going and go
I'm only getting started
This won't stop 'til I say so
This won't stop 'til I say so
This won't stop 'til I say so
Going and going and going and going and go
...on the backseat of a squad-car he realizes for the first time what he
has done and wonders about his bleak future. He's aware of his guilt and
tries to justify himself with a blackout...
Oh let me wake up quickly, let me get outta here
And wash away the guilt, the blood-stains on my shirt Oh my god what have I
done?
Why did I use this fuckin' gun?
Why did I shoot and kill a man? and a woman, too?
BLACKOUT BLACKOUT BLACKOUT BLACKOUT
Now here I sit on the back-seat of a squad car
What's gonna happen now? I won't say a word to any of these bastards
They won't make me bow I didn't want to kill these people I didn't want to
shoot
This was never my intention
Really, I didn't want to...
I blackout!!
Don't you put words in my mouth
Don't try to shut me up
I'm not about plastic skin
I gotta get out, gotta get out, in
What about those things you said to me
What about the time we've wasted
Everyday's just like the one before
Everytime I see your face…..
[CHORUS]
I blackout
You know I gotta get in
Just let me in
You know I gotta get in
But, I gotta know now, where do I fit in
I blackout…
Don't you tell me what to think
You'll never know how I should feel
I see through plastic skin,
I gotta get out gotta get out, in
What about the 5 o'clock news
What about the Sunday paper
Every day's just like the one before
Everytime I turn the page…..
[CHORUS]
I can't breathe –
My heart is freezing
While we pray
My soul is packing its bags…. and leaving
Blackout!! What about those things you said to me…
I wanna know now where do I fit in?
Sitting alone
I stare through glass
Into the cold, blue and grey
Breaking away
Letting go
I see that there is no escape
In fear of what we can't control
So we will breakaway
Here we go
I will guard my heart from indifference
For freedom I am breaking away
If my vision is lost
And my breath is short
With so much unknown
I am breaking away
Breaking!
It was never about perfection
And if this song is just a passing trend
Then this should be said (we should know)
It was always about soul
There's no need to look that far
It's on the tip of my tongue
I know that the heart is near
No need to look that far
It's on the tip of my tongue
Sitting alone
I stare through glass
Into the cold, blue and grey
Breaking away
I am letting this go
A blackout
But don't be overwhelmed
A blackout
I will guard my heart from indifference
For freedom I am breaking away
If my vision is lost
And my breath it is short
With so much unknown
I am breaking away
If I put my trust in you
Can I be changed from the inside out?
We feel so out of place
But not without purpose
So I guard my heart from this indifference
And keep my eyes looking outward
A blackout
A spark fighting not to be overwhelmed
No electricity...
Like a cloud ushered in by wind
You were just a reaction to my confusion
A hybrid of hundreds of troubles
People felt us connect and ran for shelter
(Chorus)
And there are blackouts in LA tonight
An evident lack of light tonight
An increase in desire, you'll catch me
Hanging out on a wire
Cutting the voltage to your power line
And the lights, go, out.
No electricity...
Like a love ushered in by bliss
You came to me like a realisation
But your look could sharpen a knife
Now all I hear is tearing of paper
(Chorus)
Now you cannot affect me
I feel no electricity
Now you cannot control me
I feel no electricity
No electricity...
Risking it all on the chance of a loaded dice
This ain't no game, you'll hear the voices cry
Shattered dreams turn the page to another world
Riding on that thin white line again
Just can't decide, reality or dream
Living life on the edge of a heartbeat...
Get the message
Don't play with fire, don't let the needle in
Street level justice
Blackout, blackout
Bleeding you dry, convinced it's the only way
Inch by inch, day by wasted day
The pattern never ending, the outcome stays unchanged
City streets, they scream another name
The white lady feeds it all the same
It's in the blood, you're the loser once again
Get the message
Don't play with fire, don't let the needle in
Street level justice
Blackout
Stare into the mirror to try and take away the pain
Try to see the truth with all things equal and fair
But the haze now all too familiar exaggerates my
thoughts
Reality or dream, hard times and no excuse
A small price to pay for the poison that eats away your
valuable life
Inch by inch, day by day
Blackout
Slowly but surely you ask yourself
Is it all really worth the pain ?
Continual path of self-destruction
Living life on the edge of a heartbeat
Inch by inch, day by day
Inch by inch, day by day
Inch by inch, day by day
Get the message
Don't play with fire, don't let the needle in
Street level justice
Blackout, blackout
The pattern is never ending, the outcome stays
unchanged
Corruption on every corner hides its face in the crowd
Oppressive existence, no place to wear your heart on
your sleeve
Money talks and money can make you bleed
You're not immortal
You can't escape, you're not the chosen one
Don't play with fire
I, I was kidding about the mean things
While we were sleeping
He rushed in, he rushed in
The fan stopped, the fan stopped
Oh oh oh oh
Flashlights and tele's
Drinking on the street
All the lights are out in New York City
And it never ever will be too damn late
To run inside the market place
I, I'll be quiet, then
And you do all of the talking
Then we're walking
Thoughts rush in, those thoughts rush in
The heart stops, the heart stops
Oh oh oh oh
Flashlights and tele's
Drinking on the street
All the lights are out in New York City
And it never ever will be too damn late
To runside the market place
And it never ever will be too damn late
To run inside the market place
I sit by the window and I watch all of the little
Rain drops, rain drops
Blackout
Fear grips the heart of man as locust black the sky
Over a nation that takes a stand for crooked
Spineless, murderers, self-righteous thieves
They slither on the ground like a venomous disease
They drink from the cup of ruin and desolation
And they will soon choke on the blood of the innocent
Tears for tears, vengeance for vengeance
You sow in deceit and you reap the consequences
Bloodshed for bloodshed, the treacherous betray
You sing a song of grace, but with terror you repay
All your enemies will blackout the sky
Over this wicked land for your atrocities
Of enslaving the oppressed, backlash
The weary catch a breath pushing back against the wall
That held the captive in
You will pay, you will pay, you will pay, pay
For selfishness and greed, for endless hypocrisy
For crimes against humanity your judgment is released
Meet your doom, how can you be so blind to the truth?
Meet your doom, how can you be so blind?
Meet your doom, meet your doom
It will come swiftly for all to see, for all to see
Drawn and quartered, drawn and quartered
Drawn and quartered for all to see
Drawn and quartered
America will plead for innocence
But mercy will not be given to the merciless
No electricity...
Like a cloud ushered in by wind
You were just a reaction to my confusion
A hybrid of hundreds of troubles
People felt us connect and ran for shelter
(Chorus)
And there are blackouts in LA tonight
An evident lack of light tonight
An increase in desire, you'll catch me
Hanging out on a wire
Cutting the voltage to your power line
And the lights, go, out.
No electricity...
Like a love ushered in by bliss
You came to me like a realisation
But your look could sharpen a knife
Now all I hear is tearing of paper
(Chorus)
Now you cannot affect me
I feel no electricity
Now you cannot control me
I feel no electricity
No electricity...
I'm walking down the street, I'm feeling kinda beat
From dragging myself to nowhere
Would you wanna hold my hand, No you wouldn't understand
Blame it on society, No ones good enough
Chorus
I saw the sun die at blackout
All of you people watch out
Stay for the week and we can
Hide till it all blows over
Verse
I saw you yesterday but you turned the other way
How's the going should I say, yeah I know you know my name
Won't you come in for some tea, we can talk about the world
How it's all made up you see, who's lying?
I saw the sun die at blackout
All of you people watch out
Stay for the week and we can
Hide till it all blows over
Bridge
Ri - se
We will Ri - se
Would you take me, mold me break me
No more faking, take me somewhere real
Where I can feel
Feel
I saw the sun die at blackout
All of you people watch out
Stay for the week and we can
Hide till it all blows over
I saw
Attaining mental stability in a rapid decline
See the souls, they fall in league with mine
Liquid words adhere, to weakness in this spirit
Leading into imprisoning sight, in judgement
And i still feel, i still feel
The same lament with you
And i'm not talking lies fuelled by this bottle
You let me believe
You intrude my conscience
Only to tell me you're what i need
Paralysed, i can't socialise, i'm bleeding within
When it rains, oh god when it pours
Get it done and just take me away
There is no truth in my eyes
A deceiving spinning discuise
Another plain, the ultimate high
Tainted in expression, release the inhibition
Undermining insecure understanding
But i still feel
I still feel
I still feel the same with you
In memories blackened out you release to live again
Through your eyes i'm reminded
What i try to escape from
Just another believer
Easy to lead by their fears
Cannot yet see
My name peedi crakk I like [?] and many max
[?] she's a hore so plenty back, stayin [?] sleep [?]
[?] the forty five complex I mean that, remember that.
The fact shake you [?] low ball shit nigga [?] need the best stop

I don't know how long you've been around but I guess it's all really safe and sound
Since you're giving me the silent treatment
Though I know there's something eating you and you're got my ear with that you do
But you give me the moral high ground again and again
I think there is hope for what we share
Since we can't seem to black out something
'Cause in the wake of love, this everlasting love
One can't seem out to black out something
What the hell is wrong with you, is there anything going through
'Cause now you're leaving all the innocence away
'Cause even with a broken clock is right at least twice a day
So I guess it's fine for you to start thinking
I think there is hope for what we share
Since we can't seem to black out something
'Cause in the wake of love, this everlasting love
One can't seem out to black out something
Does this song alarm you, are you listening, are you listening
This is not some rough patch your having, your having
I think there is hope for what we share
Since we can't seem to black out something
'Cause in the wake of love, this everlasting love
Twilight sharpened as I put my hood up and walked into town
All the streets were empty, like my stomach,
So I had to see what I could scrounge
Just like....
Every town before.
'Knock Knock' at every door, no answer
I snuck up to their windows for a peak
Inside each house I saw silhouettes against the blue lights of their television screens
And so I clibmed the hill where power stations overlooked the town
I found the generators, threw the switch, and shut the whole thing down
I turned to see hundreds of flickering blue lights die in the night
The darkness that followed was broken by a single candle light
So I descended into town
The candle light was multiplying now, and the silent streets were filling up with townspeople, laughing.
I asked a smiling woman if she had something we could eat
She thanked me for the great idea, and dashed to her home down the street
She soon returned, her arms full with a bounty of bread wine and cheese
Her neighbor winked and organzied a group, to bring tables and seats
And so we all sat down, and I raised a glass of wine
And declared a toast, to meeting these old friends for the first time
And someone played guitar
And kids banged pots and pans
And we all sang old songs
(The kind that no one can forget)
And then we all took turns
Telling our best tales
(The kind that start out true, but end up taller than 10 whales)
That's when someone spoke up, and said "This here gathering
Is a neighborhood, the kind I always hoped this town would be!"
Right then the power came back on.
And then the man next to me checked his watch
And said "Thank god, my shows are on!"
And so they blew their candles out
And hurried back to be inside each house
Where glowing blue lights had come back to reclaim the night.
The smoke hung in the air, but everyone had gone
That was the best I'd get from this town, so I ventured on
Now with my belly full, I walked the empty streets
Between the rows of houses who's blue lights lit up my feet
But much to my surprise, one house stood alone
It was completely dark
Save one candle in the window
I stopped and then I smiled, but I had no time to rest,
We ain't got time for nothing but hardcore
Take us to the stage for the televised encore
There's too much future to get out of the way
They're not gonna tell you
You gotta guess again
There's too much future to get out of the way
We don't want a half-soul
We just wanna get stoned
We ain't gonna die alone
Was ist denn Ihre Vorhersage für diesen Kampf? Meine Vorhersage? Ja, Ihre Vorhersage!
Schmerz!
//Bischen lauter! Frankfurt!
Steig' in den Ring und ball' die Fäuste wie Joe Lewis, der Bozz ist zurück und
schlägt Euch Nutten K.O.!
Du siehst nur Sterne, wenn ich spitte, denn mein Shit is' zu hoch für Dich,
zerschmetter' mit meinen Tritten. Jede Bitch wird hier tot gefickt.
Oh, Du willst mich battlen, ich schnapp' Dich an den Haaren, nehm' das Mic und
hämmer' Dir die Zähne aus Deiner verfickten Fresse.
Du bist 'n Opfer, das am Mic 'n grosses Maul kriegt. Ich zeig' Dir die Realität und
zwar direkt mit meiner Faust, Bitch.
Ich schwör', ich burn' Dich, fick' und zerstör' Dich. Du törichter Kermit, der
Frosch Gesicht, guck' nich' so böse, sonst box' ich Dich.
Hol' Deine Freunde, Du hast keine Chance alleine. Du hast nur Eier, wenn Du rappst,
doch in echt bist Du nur 'ne Schwuchtel, Kleiner.
Ich nehm' Dich Nutte auseinander und führ' Dich vor. Sieh' Dich vor, der Chief
mutiert zum Beast und gibt Dir die Hiebe auf's Ohr.
Du kleiner Pisser, ich bin Killer und radier' Dich aus! Kapier', dass ausser mir
keiner regieren kann in diesem Haus, yo!

Ich bin noch lange nich' fertig mit Dir, wer ist der badeste hier? Du bist noch
faker als Illmatic. Nimm meinen Vers und krepier'!
Der Master ist hier und lässt Euch Schwuchteln bluten. Ihr steht gut im Game, doch
wenn ich mit Euch fertig bin, geht Ihr mit Wucht nach unten.
Du Tunte bist totes Fleisch wie Rockie gegen Clubber Lang. Ich zieh' Deine Zähne aus
meiner Faust, nach meinen Hammerschlägen
umarmst Du den Boden und bist froh, wenn es vorbei ist. Ich bin zu groß für Dich
hodenlosen, hohlen Idioten, begreif' es:
Ich bin der mieseste aggressiveste und realste, deepeste Chief der MCs, der der Dich
Nutte beschiesst und bekriegt,
bis Du liegst oder fliehst und dann siehst, dass niemand mich besiegt. Ich bin der
Hero im Spiel, Du verlierst wie De Niro in Heat, Bitch!
Du schiebst 'nen Dicken wie'n Kugelfisch. Fick' Deine Crew und Dich, Du Depp wirst
bluten, bis der Arzt kommt und Dich Hure flickt, yo!
Ich bin wie Hugh Heffner, ich ficke Euch alle. Deine Frau wird heiss auf meinen
Schwanz und ich spritze sie an.
Ey, komm' mir nich' schräg, überleg', ich bin Dir haushoch überlegen. Du zittrige
Fotze wirst nich' mal 'ne Runde mit mir überstehen.
Ich übernehme und werde Euch Mösen zerreissen. Es gibt kein Entweichen, befreif',
ich bin der Grösste aller Zeiten, yo!
Blackout! Blackout! Blackout! Blackout!
Blackout! Blackout! Blackout! Blackout!
All the bottles and the ashes blanket the ground.
The sluts stagger out with their skirts hiked up, right on time now.
I think it's time to go home. Do you wanna go home? (whoa!)
The disco ball is swinging low.
I found my lover on the radio. She sang me songs from a long time ago.
Blackout! Shout it out loud. The Devil's keeping time on the brake pad now.
It's the music on the radio that's taking me home.
When the crowd get's to spinning I can barely hold on.
The liquid trash flows through my veins and I scream the wrong song.
I think I gotta go home. Do you wanna go home? (whoa!)
So, I'll stomp to the beat, yeah I'll stomp to the beat of the...Oh.
Oh, it's the garbage on the radio. I should have known.
I should have fucking known.
Blackout! Shout it out loud. The Devil's keeping time on the gas pedal now.
It's the garbage on the radio that's taking home.
These so called hit lists are nothing more that fat fuck lullabies.
Man, I've had better hits on my tongue in the park on Friday nights.
If this is victory, I'd rather listen to defeat tonight.
Am I right?
One two I remember when we first met

Bite marks on my neck wifey like next

This is not a bowling station
This is not a hospital

This is not a bowling station
Dress up and hide the lies
Find a place in line

They can clear their troubled minds
And all at your expense
This is not a hospital
This is not a bowling station

This is not a bowling station
This is not a hospital
This is not a bowling station
This is not a hospital
This is not a hospital
This is not a bowling station
Don't add up like some equation
There's not a road from your forehead
Getting lost is easier
With your eyes focused straight ahead.
Everyone's on trial and I'm not showing up
I give a guilty smile and walk away untouched
This is not a hospital
This is not a bowling station
This is not a hospital
This is not a hospital
This is not a bowling station
This is not a hospital
This is not a bowling station
This is not a hospital
This is not a hospital
This is not a bowling station
This is not a hospital
This is not a bowling station
This is not a hospital
This is not a hospital
This is not a bowling station
This is not a hospital
This is not a bowling station
This is not a hospital
This is not a hospital
[verse 1]
Gotta give up, give up everything that I own
Better wake up, wake up to the suffering tone
Gotta give up, give up everything that I own
Better wake up, and hide out here alone
[verse 2]
Seeing writing, writing all over the wall
Like a warning, warning us together we fall
Seeing writing, written all over the wall
Like a warning, "You have no control"!!!
[chorus]
Get yours before we hit the blackout
All men will learn to fear the blackout
Jump off this ride before the blackout
Shoot those who might survive...
[verse 1]
[verse 3]
Call it panicking, I call this the end
Am I the only one, here who's not with them
Look at all of these, lifeless mannequins
You have no controooooool
[chorus]
Sweat like you want me to, like you want me to
Like you want me to sweat, like you want me to
You have no controooooool
War going on inside my head
I can't get to sleep, I'd rather be dead
Don't try to tell me, I can't hear your words
I'm not long for this world
[Chorus:]
I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do
Everyday seems the same, I might as well die...
I can't get what I want, what's the fucking point
Why the hell should I go on, when the bottom's fallen out
Sleepy city in the midnight calm
All awoken by death's alarm
Frenzied panic everyone's in shock
Search-lights show the coming of the iron flock
Blockbusters falling down like rain
Birds of steel deliver death and pain
Chorus:
Blackout when the sirens sound
Bombs be fallin' y'all you better get down
Blackout all over town
Woman and children go down in the ground
Blackout (4x)
Dictators and terror kings
Invade us with their war machines
Nowhere to run, nowhere to go
Think we're gonna lay down and die
Ya cry "hell no"
Man the cannons and open fire
Flames of war burning higher and higher
Chorus (2x)
Blackout when the sirens sound
Yeah, the blitz is coming, oh the blitz is coming
Blackout all over town
Armageddon coming, yeah, armageddon coming
Blackout (3x)
[Verse 1]
Mama wanna play by the rules... G
Gets out the pin
Boy... yah lookin healthy
Wanna live large
Take charge that's priority
Who's the man in front of me?
Who's my authority?
Get past that and live another day
But the wrong way
Uhh... Yah family went the other way
Gots to be down and stops clownin
Well I did my dirt
Bet cha did yah dirty?
Skirt to the next episode
Tell me! Tell me!
Waz goin down... Are still my buddy
Or just another bosa
Let me now I gotta go
Hit my next flow
And then I'm out the do
And as a matter a fact
I'm feelin shady
I think I'm goin crazy
Uhh! The room just faded me
Best thinkin tah get a grip
Or else I'm gonna pass out
Or better yet I'm gonna blackout
[Chorus:]
[Male] Don't wanna be wrong
But I rather live my life strong
Cause were gonna be happy
[Female] I know it's gonna take some time to lay around
[Male] I'm losin my mind
No more wastin precious time (We re gonna be happy)
(Female) So I gotta do what I gotta do
[Verse 2]
I'm in jail cause I'm a sinner
I only wanna be a winner
But I'm broke
I'm livin in a blackout stage
And it ain't no joke
But see I'm innocent the judge won't believe me
I gotta get out because my family says they need me
How does it feel when you got no wheels
I can't take care about my family
Now my son wants to dope-deal
Heaven help him
Or rather wheres my bail
Cause roamin witta crew like that
He ll end up in jail
Like his father... and that won't make him a better person
It's like a plot that only worsens
Now wife claims I'm cheatin on her all the time
All men ain't perfect but I swear that baby ain't mine
Now she's strugglin survivin on her own
But she's got my three kids and now daddy's home alone
Now I gots to gets my life back together
No doubt (Echo)
Here comes the blackout
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Now I'm livin my life that of a bad one
Ain't never had none
So I out to gets mine
Had to struggle in the process
It's gettin deep
And there ain't no time for sleep
To many things runnin through my mind
Walkin on a thin line and ain't nuthin kind
I feelin like I'm gonna pass out
Right in that wrong route
Steady headed foe the blackout
I starts to squeeze a little hard again
Down for da stealin
But never down for the killin
Moms working hard
Doin what she's able
Stressin tryin to put my food on the table
But me, my sista, my brotha we miss our father
Father's locked away... will he stay
Hopefully not... so he hear my holla
To come back in one piece
So while a single, single parent's crap will just sleep
Like a spell, like a stroke, like a kick in the head,
it’s like the throes of an epileptic seizure. Like the
crud that you feel after sleeping for days
Like a dream, like a trip, like a drug-induced haze
And I recall only little bits and pieces of vague
similitudes that my instinct says are not even mine
Like a slope, like a maze, like a bottomless pit
winding around in a secret combination. Like the strain
that you make trying to figure it out
Like a death, like a gap, like a watery grave and all I
hear is impossible distorted impressions of a world
that I’m positive is not even mine.
I knew a thing or two until the time strange outer
forces wasted my tiny mind. I could not stop it
Like an edge, like a void, like a limitless fall;
entire lives spent in constant isolation. Like a shard
from a frozen shattered aeon of time
Like a voice, like a crack, like a whispering shriek
that echoes on like it’s carpet-bombing feverish white
jungles of thought that I’m positive are not even mine.
How long have I been gone, tucked down inside this
limbo while
my dreams are crushing me? Enormous gulfs enormous
glyphs enormous galleries. Fragmented visions of a
Are you with me?
I can't see you
Turn the lights on
I can feel you
Turn the lights on
It's a blackout
Light a candle
And then touch me
Are you with me?
Turn the lights on
Light a candle
I can feel you
It's a blackout
It's a blackout
Light a candle
And then touch me
Are you with me?
I can feel you
Turn the lights on
It's a blackout
Light a candle
I can feel you
Light a candle
It was three in the morning or so
when I left the bar
and stumbled drunk across the parking lot
in search of my car
I was fumbling with my keys when
everything started to go black
and I felt this sickly cold grow up the small
of my back
I can't remember it,
don't know just what I did
like some demon possessed,
I can't believe they're dead
shaking off the dizziness I unlocked the door
and leaned my weight against its frame
until
my footing was sure
I just thought I'd sleep it off in my car for the night
and when I woke up in the morning
everything would be all right
I came to in a daze
dropped to the ground with a thud
and looking down upon myself saw
I was covered in blood
and it all came back!
awake I stepped out of the car;
walked back into the place
whereupon I leaned across the bar and
grabbed its tender by his face
"you watered down my drinks all night,
my bill was way to high"
"I know you tried to cheat me, stupid fuck
and now you're gonna die"
then they laughed like it was a joke but
they can't laugh without a throat
the other patrons screamed in fear but
the only voice that I could hear said
Shonda!!!
she's a problem

Freedom is earnt through sacrifice and bloodshed.
Perpetual motion, cycle after cycle, the wheel turns, as we recapitulate.
Disillusioned by a ticking clock, in truth we are the enemy.
Time will come to claim it’s prize, by leave with empty hands.
Regret built this prison, we must find the key,
or bend the bars to break free. Tired of safety, this security.
At the edge of the earth and we’ve found nothing,
years wasted chasing ghosts through city streets and broken homes,
has it led you to the path you have to walk,
our fee will burn blister and bleed before we make it home.
The smartest men of our generation will refuse to walk in their fathers footsteps.
Without direction, there is no progress.
Break the cycle, shatter the clocks, burn the calendars.
As I wake silence lets me wonder through my mind,
Darkness falls, showing me the questions never asked
Eternity, longer than my lifetime can foresee,
Ages of creation melt into the sea.
We have sought extinction, have we not?
Can I watch it all collapse and do no more?
Long ago, we were in communion with the world,
How did humans drift so far from cause, from home?
We assumed the world belongs to us
I'm just a man thrown into existance by the gods.
Blind and helpless, left alone to fear and roam.
We have brought extinction, have we not?
Can I watch it all collapse and do no more?
We lost our sight.
This seemed so far away,
The future makes me wonder,
Will all
Be gone
Into
don't kid yourself
and don't fool yourself
this love's too good to last
and i'm too old to dream
don't grow up too fast
and don't embrace the past
this life's too good to last
and i'm too young to care
don't kid yourself
and don't fool yourself
this life could be the last
and we're too young to see
