The fist times I met you eye to eye
I couldn't tell what you had on your mind
After a while as time passed by
I realized you tried to steal what's mine
Now I see it all, I know it too well
Disgrace to mankind, burn in hell
If justice did right and God was there
You should have been born dead
Strike you down
You're not half the man you claim to be
Strike you down
You'd sell out your family to fulfil your needs
Fuck vendettas, I want more
I wish to see you lying on your own blood
To destroy everything you hold sacred
To see you on your deathbed
Hanging loose in the end of a rope
You've found yourself in stranglehold
Rope's getting tighter, you can't escape
Destined to live your life in agony
It's about time for the truht to be told
You aren't shatterproof in my world
You better hope we won't meet again
You better hope we won't meet ever again
In the end you know the joke's on you
Too much power given in way too little hands
Nations drowning in sorrow
Hoping for a better tomorrow
Leaders fighting for their greed
Neglecting their own societies
They keep forgetting their past
Trying to get too much too fast
So hard to swallow your pride
You know you're wrong but you still got to fight
THOUSANDS LOST LIVES
SEEMS LIKE AN EVERLASTING FIGHT
DO YOU SEE HATRED IN THEIR EYES
FOR YEARS THEY'RE FED ALL THESE LIES
They pray for heaven but burn in hell
They run for life but can't find shelter
The blood gets spilled for lust and greed
Where did they lose all their dignity
Searching for something that isn't there
Keeping it real seems to be impossible to you
To me it sounds like you got a lot to prove
You made yourself look like a clown
You never werre down, always out of bounds
Check where you stand,
Maybe something's not right
You've been following wrong footsteps
For quite a while
Loud mouthing, thug playing, bone braking fool
With that caps busting shit talking act you're so untrue
You couldn't back up your thugged out role
Beaten down to the bottom by the realest of them all
Loud barking dog without a bone
Shooting aimless blanks with your fake .44
Nonsense words of empty threats
What you got to give is much less than
What you're going to get
No integrity
No credibility
Go play another game
I don't care about your fate
But I've got to admit, that I feel ashamed
To watch you fall in the name of all
That has been built with hard work without guilt
Of cheating or faking at game for some fame
If you're trying to gain some name, you're not halfway there
The road you chose to walk leads you nowhere
Credibility never given out as welfare
Run your mouth when you should shut it up
You're a real sheep in wolves clothing
It's time to break down the fake armor you're wearing
Talk this and that about your gangsta mentality
Only problem is you got no integrity
First of all it's time for you to undestand
Rocking golden chains doesn't make you a man
Fly by night kid, who would've thought
Slave to the fasthion, we knew it all
So shut your mouth, get the fuck out, pack your act and step back
Nothing ever meant that much to you
It was all just a game
Always a fake when I thought you were true
To me it was not the same
Maybe I trusted in you too much
That's the only thing I regret
When I look at you I'm filled with disgust
Your betrayal I will not forget
Your loss is my gain
Your happiness is my pain
I hope I won't see you again
Every promise you made you broke
On your lies you will choke
ONCE A FRIEND, NOW AN ENEMY
ALL I FEEL TOWARDS YOU IS HOSTILITY
IF YOU EVER CROSS ME AGAIN YOU'LL SEE
You got yourself fucked once again
Always talking shit, but never taking the blame
You think you are so sincere
But believe all rumors that you hear
Low self esteem you tried to raise
Reality you never wanted to face
All your hopes and dreams
Were just a few shallow screams
ON YOUR OWN
WHAT GOES AROUND
ALWAYS COMES AROUND
YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW IT ALL
ONLY FURTHER YOU WILL FALL
Mistakes you made
There's no-one else to blame
You asked for it
You're just too full of shit
Open your eyes and take a look
We're able to read you like an open book
Mistakes you made
There's no-one else to blame
You asked for it
We know you're full of shit
If you live by the sword you will die by the sword
Actions prove more than a million words
You had your shot
But you blew it up
Talked all that talk
You make me sick
My stomach is twisting and turning
With every word you say, you make me sick
I hate your kind
Everytime I think of you, I hate you more
We have walked a long way, but now it seems the road has come to and end
Just don't try and pretend like everything was alright like way back then
How many times you tried to convince me, that you never lied
Now I'm filled with hate with piercing pain
Warm heart turned cold these days
What we had you wasted away
You forced me to walk this way
I swear with my life
I'll never forgive, I'll never forget
No more words of regret
Your talks and where you really stand
Never goes hand in hand
I won't forgive, I won't forget
With every word you say you make me sick
We have walked a long way, but now it seems the road has come to an end
Just don't try and pretend like everything was alright like way back then
A lot have changed but my memories remain the same,
At least I learned from those mistakes
Looking back I feel disgusted of the way you act,
You only tried to get benefit from me
We have walked a long way
The road has come to an end
No apologies
Never again
Things have changed, but my memories remain the same
At least I learned not to make the same mistakes again
The hate grows stronger each and every day for what you are today
I will never fall to my knees
Won't be the one to please
All those who think that they need
To check me if I'm weak
I have eyes on my back
I stand and wait for your attack
You won't see me fall
Won't stop till I've had it all
I'll always keep my own head
Won't play the part of the deal
Just try to keep me still
I'ts time to fire at will
DON'T PUSH ME TOO FAR,
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IT BRINGS
I NEVER WANTED A WAR
BUT THIS IS HOW IT BEGINS
Those who used to be kings have now lost their crowns
And those who were once above us all have fallen down
Untouchable, feared and respected, you once thought you were
A role you couldn't back up, you were all talk always
Your golden days have long gone by
Pure fiction, is how you've lived your life
Now you will burn, bleed and cry
Now play the role of the victimized
Ashamed, you became disgraced
Hypocrite, straight up two faced
You are all talk
Respect you'll never get single bit
Realize it, if you don't give it you won't get shit
Taking shit for granted, keep running your mouth
Like everything should be handed to you without a doubt
From what you try to hide yourself
Keep fooling yourself and nobody else
I recognize real when i see it in front of me
Keep on feeding the lies only you believe in
Now bring it on motherfucker,
Even if i know just fine, you got nothing left to show anymore
The best you got is far less than what I could have expected,
Here I stand a broken man
Broken dreams slipped trough my hands
What once was is now gone
I can't go on, I am done
Last call
Last change to make things right
Pick up the pieces and mend my life
But how can I heal a broken trust
It feels so hard, it rips my guts
Memories so bitter sweet
Thoughts of immortality
Still can't see the bridges burnt by you
In the end it all will come to haunt you
Now we know what became of you
I hate to say it but it is the truth
You're not one of us anymore
It was you who walked out of the door
Nowhere to go, all bonds you broke
Always trying to fight hard,
But your hands are bound
Never you were able to keep
Your feet on the ground
Don't you feel a little ashamed
For what hou've done, you've ruined your name
How can we trust you ever again
Knowing too well you've stayed the same
You saw your past burning before your eyes
Only thing lest your demise
Don't you feel a little ashamed
For what you've done, you've rouined your name
Dead end street is where you're stuck
It's always the weak who blame hard luck
You played yourself out
Tried to be a player,
But it's you who got played out
Tried to fit in,
When you should've just stayed out
Stories made up to comfort the weak
Chained and blindfolded you're made to believe
In all the lies that have been told for far too long
Seems like god just couldn't care less... if you life or die
Otherwise that many would have never been sacrificed
LIES UPON LIES
LIES UPON LIES
Salvation far behind
Actions unjustified
Forgiveness always denied
Your god set you to die
Never learned to question the mold
Born to live every lie you were told
Now let the truth unfold
Where was your god,
When children got shot in cold blood
A one-way trip; in the end we all die
Lives built on lies
A painful walk through the dead of night
Too many lives built on lies
LIES UPON LIES
LIES UPON LIES
God lets you to die
So many times we've gone wrong, but we've paid the price
It hasn't always been easy, but we still survived
Some will never learn the meaning of honesty
And they'll never be part of the ones I call my family
This goes out to every friend that I trust
To me they mean so much
This is who I am
Together we will stand
To our enemies, they can't break us, we're still standing strong
To the few the true, that would never turn their back on you
Bringing back our pride
Until the end we'll fight
This is all that I've got
This is something you can't touch
After all that we've been through
I give respect to where it's due
We've made a pact
Always intact
To each and every one of you I trust
Nothing will come between us
No matter what comes our way
We're going stronger each and every day
Respect to the ones who still keep it real
Bitter and betrayed but still sincere
No one knows what tomorrow holds
Our ties that bind too strong to unfold
So many have gone, stepped aside, lost their faith
Even if they claimed to be true till death
But we're still here to keep the story the same
It's a struggle to live in grief, it hurts so deep
I won't forget you, may you rest in peace
Things we took for granted one day, may soon be gone
Pain that burns inside of me, just won't go away
So many memories of good old days, will always remain
But who will give me the answers I need
How to heal the pain that I feel
So many questions i never got to ask
Just proves nothing good will last
I hate to admit it seemed to be your turn
A lot of times I hate this world
I keep searching for a place called home
I can't stop; I've got to move on
I'm still searching for a place called home
I must be strong and carry on
You're now in a better place
Wait and we'll meet again
So many things were left unsaid
I think of you and take a deep breath
I keep explaining to myself
Like this was meant to be
I can't stand the thought of you being dead
Gone for good, taken away from me
I'm searching for a place called home
I can't stop: I've got to move on
I keep searching
I must be strong and carry on
I'm bleeding, burgning, crumbling
I can't go back, can't gice up, won't forget
I keep explaining to myself like this was meant to be
Like it was some sort of destiny
I can't stand the thought of you being dead
Out of nowhere you came
My life will never be the same again
I opened myself and let you in
Swore to follow you through thick and thin
All of a sudden you were gone
I was confused, what had I done
Then I found out what went on behind my back
Now we'll see who gets the last laugh
You never lived up your promises
I learned through experiences
DON'T MAKE ME REMEMBER
BECAUSE I FORGET AS HARD AS I CAN
YOU GOT NO PLACE IN MY LIFE
YOU'RE WATCHING A WHOLE NEW MAN
Out of nowhere you came
My life will never be the same again
I opened myself and let you in
Swore to follow you through thick and thin
All of a sudden you wre gone
I was confused, what had I done
Then I found out what went on behind my back
Dollar signs in your eyes
Greed has made you blind
Our goals were not the same
You wanted money and fame
Look at you now,
The brave on has fallen from the grace
Lesson in greed,
A footstep away from the grave
Always on a lookout for an easy way out
Honesty you never knew nothing about
You mihgt have done this
And you might have done that
To us you always proved to be
Just another little brat
Washed out, drop out, worthless scum
Sell out, has been, stinking bum
I don't care where you came from
Now you're gone, good bye, so long
Wealth never came your way
No matter what you claim
Somewhere along the way
You got led astray
This was never place where you belonged
Better without you
It's been a while since we met
I'll never forget your words of regret
How you told me you'd clean up this mess
Nowadays I just couldn't care less
The truth hurt and I was about to break
But I take my time and learn from this mistake
We go way back, but it didn't seem to mean shit
A living hell to heal wounds this deep
Advices from you I'll never need
Never trusted your words, I beliece what I see
I don't feel the need to run, nor will I hide
You will never take away my pride
You will never see me falling
That easily I won't be going down
I'm here standing on my own feet
Choke me all you can but I will break free
YOU CAN'T FOOL ME
YOU CAN'T BREAK ME
YOU CAN'T CHANGE ME
TO YOU I AM INVISIBLE
As you fall into a trap you've set for yourself
I'm standing tall and strong, knowing I did nothing wrong
Your efforts turn into despair, still you ask for more
I like the Downtown girls
I like the way that they talk to me
I like the messed up girls
They're pretty good company
I like the way that you walk
And maybe tonight, I can make you mine
And if it's all right, we can dance in the white light
In the white light
In the white light, oh
In the white light
I got the punk rock love
Feels like it's 1963
And the girls all dance
While I'm feeling like a refugee
I want to take you home
And maybe tonight, I can make you mine
And if it's all right, we can dance in the white light
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light
Maybe I'm crazy, crazy
Maybe I've got no guarantee
But I've been thinking lately
I'm going to let it be a dream
Baby dream
Baby dream
Baby dream
I want to take you home
Maybe tonight, I can make you mine
And if it's all right,
We can dance,
We can dance,
We can dance,
And come together in the white light
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh
She's out for kicks
She's a kitten with a whip
She takes the littlest sips from the prettiest lips
She's a kitten with a whip
And when it's trouble downtown
I'm the queen of the crown
Don't want you coming around when there's trouble downtown
I'm the queen of the crown
Kitten, with a whip
She likes the rock and roll
She likes the sweet box south
And like a dog with a bone you want to eat her whole
She likes the rock and roll, oh
She's playing tricks all night
And baby likes to fight
And with the light in her light she's playing tricks all night
She's electrified
Kitten, with a whip
Kitten, with a whip
With a whip
She's in that movie with Elvis
They race cars in that scene
Viva Las Vegas
But with the king
She is the music
You ain't got nothing on her
Long live the queen
Kitten! Kitten!
She's out for kicks
She's got mama's hips
She takes the littlest sips from the prettiest lips
She's a kitten with a whip
You're a kitten
I'm a kitten
You're a kitten
I'm a kitten
With a whip
With a whip

She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying
Mama never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot
To come (and she'll say to him)
She's saying
I would fly you to the moon and back
If you'll be if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where
We belong
So would you be my baby
Ooh-ooh
She can't remember a time
When she felt needed
If love was red then she was colour-blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying
Love is like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith is
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for
So baby gonna take a dive
And push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars
(What a pleasant dream) just saying
She's saying
I would fly you to the moon and back
If you'll be if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where
We belong
So would you be my baby
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
She's saying
I would fly you to the moon and back
If you'll be if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where
We belong
Your enemies roar inside your meeting place
Holding up your signs
Mocking your name
Saying to themselves,
"We will crush them"
Oh God, how long will you let this last?
Oh God, How long will your enemies insult us?
They despise your name forever
Why do you hold back your hand, even your right?
Take your hands out of your pockets and Fight!
Destroy them!
My God of Old!
Let's go back a few years and look on all the lies
That you fed to me and yourself
The standards you held so highly
The book you followed so closely
Was it all nothing to you?
Was it all nothing to you?
Just a phase you were going through
Just a chance to call yourself one of the few?
Your words gave me something more
Something real to me, but it wasn't you
But it wasn't you
Oh God forgive me for turning my back on you
(my back on you)
For letting others influence the belief that I have in you
If I walk away with one thing from all of this
It's to never again put my faith in man
Put my faith in man
Maybe one day you will see the mistake in your decision
The flaws in your revision
I can't believe it was nothing to you
Was it all nothing to you?
Just a phase you were going through
Or just a chance to call yourself one of the few?
Oh God forgive me for turning my back on you
(my back on you)
For letting others influence the belief that I have in you
You'll never give up on me
You never stop letting me know that you're right here beside me
You never give up
You never give up
God, show me the way
God, show me my way
Tell me, tell me, tell me that I'm going nowhere. Tell me this isn't enough.
I see what they go through. I guess you never had to feel that pain.
I've counted the cost. This is where I belong.
So many questions run through my head. Time for us to leave again.
My whole life packed in this van and the road is calling.
Remind me what you said again. How I'm on the road to nowhere land.
Well, this is what I'm made for. If only you could understand.
This is what I'm made for. This is what I'm made for.
I've counted the cost, nothing to lose because He gave me everything I've lost.
This is what I'm made for.
Miles and miles away from home thinking 'bout the things I can't let go.
But as sure as the breath inside of me I know that this is where I belong.
I see the hurt, I feel the pain. This is what I'm made for. Maybe now you'll understand.
Tell me, tell me, tell me that I'm going nowhere. Tell me this isn't enough.
I see what they go through. I guess you never had to feel that pain.
I've counted the cost. This is where I belong. This is where I belong.
I have counted the cost, nothing to lose because He gave me everything I've lost.
Tell me, tell me, tell me that I'm going nowhere. Tell me this isn't enough.
I see what they go through. I guess you never had to feel that pain.
There is nothing that you can say to me
That will take me from the place that I am meant to be
So-called friends turn their backs and run
Convenience is the only thing they do not shun
Is this just another smile
Is this just another mask you wear
The friendly faces in every day new places
Who is real and why is it so rare
The gratitude that I hold so closely
Is for the ones who always see the truth and trust it solely
A companion a closest friend
If money makes the world go round, feed them lies to put them in the ground.
Tell them exactly what they want to hear because they all have itching ears.
You are the one that I despise. Instead of love you spread your lies. Again. Again. Again. Again.
So go ahead and prophesy and let the money satisfy.
How can you live your life knowing it's just a lie?
Here I stand, I can do no other. Truth at all costs.
Here I stand, I can do no other. Truth at all costs.
If money keeps you satisfied, feed them lies as long as you get by.
Hide behind the name of Christ. You are the one I despise.
Instead of life... Instead of love you spread your lies. Again. Again. Again. Again.
Here I stand, I can do no other. Truth at all costs.
Here I stand, I can do no other. Truth at all costs.
I will stand 'til my last breath. I will stand against the lies.
I will stand against the lies, against the pain that you've caused inside so many lives.
You are the one I despise.
Your words, they seem as though they're knives,
sunk deep into their backs and I can hear their cries.
I will defend the truth.
All life lay ahead and every road led home,
You stood by me shoulder to shoulder
Looking back
All of it has happened so fast
It's all a blur
I'll always stay thankful for the past
And look forward to the future
This life has thrown us curves
But it's worth every lesson we've learned
Thick or thin
Through good or bad
I will stand up for you in the end
I will stand up for you in the end
Is this the last real taste of innocence?
Of the first real taste of life?
The memories we hold
Are helping us survive
The memories we hold on to
Are keeping us alive
All life lay ahead and every road led home,
You stood by me shoulder to shoulder
Years go by, I'm getting older
But we'll stand together, shoulder to shoulder
My brother
My friend
My brother
Remember how simple life used to be?
Nothing could stop us from who we wanted to be
Stay young
Stay free
Stay young
Stay free
All life lay ahead and every road led home,
You stood by me shoulder to shoulder
Years go by, I'm getting older
But we'll stand together, shoulder to shoulder
Filthy hands.
Worn and dirty feet. I walk the path of persecution.
Death unfolds before me as I see through tear-filled eyes.
Memories of past regrets all quickly become nothing.
Arms open wide I scream at the sky.
Let this fire burn. Let this fire burn and never die.
For the sake of something I won't see with my own eyes. Let this fire burn.
Filthy hands raised to the sky. Your pain will not be in vain. Your pain will not be in vain.
The peace you found, the truth you sought; unworthy is still your claim.
Unworthy is still my claim. Walking with death could never compare to the pain.
Hopeless, my head to the ground, I lift my eyes to the earth with the sound of a steady pound.
Arms open wide I pray my goodbye. Arms open wide I pray my goodbye.
Filthy hands raised to the sky. Your pain will not be in vain. Your pain will not be in vain.
The peace you found, the truth you sought; unworthy is still your claim.
Unworthy is still your claim... Unworthy...
Let this fire burn. Let this fire burn and never die.
I am weak from the weight I carry
I am sick from the poison I've been fed
Go ahead judge my ways
You don't know right from wrong
I will over power this doubt
That you've lodged into my soul
I will be myself
When everyone
Tells me to be someone else
Save your words
They fall on deaf ears
Save your words
For the weak
Go ahead and keep pouring this doubt
Into my mind Into my soul
Your words are nothing more
Than the dreams you've left unfollowed
Judge my ways
I am sick
I am weak
Save your words
They fall on deaf ears
Save your words
Save your words, they fall on deaf ears. Save your words for the weak who will listen to you.
Restoration
This is the last time
I will choose to run from the ones that I love
A young man that was full of pride
That was full of self regard
Forgiveness you still show
A prideful youth that I'll never get back
You carried my weight
Forgiveness you still show
This is the last time that I'll run from the ones that I love
I am the Prodigal Son I will no longer run
Now I'm older and I can see the truth
The sacrifices you made for the life that you would struggle through
A prideful youth that I'll never get back
You carried my weight
Forgiveness you still show
I never knew how much you mean to me
And now I'm taking it back
I used to count down the days that I'd leave with my selfish ways
I'm taking it back
With the love that you have shown me
And the man that you have molded me to be
I'm taking it back
I have the feeling
I’ve got to say goodbye
To let it go
To forget this time
Oh but how could any one be just so right?
To make me smile so much, to shine with such light
And I want you to know that I have loved you
Before I met you is when that love grew
I want you to know that I adore you
But if this is not happening for you
What can I do?
If this is not happening for you…
What can I do?
You know we chat almost every day
But nothing more is ever really said
Oh what I would do for you, oh what I would you for you
I’ve loved you so deeply and all you and your blue
And I want you to know that I have loved you
And before I met you is when that love grew
I want you to know that I adore you
But if this is not happening for you
What can I do?
If this is not happening for you…
What can I do?
I know that I have to leave it
To drop the torch, while it’s still lit
I guess you know now that I adore you
If I could be the angel
If I could be the prettiest girl
I'd stand between you
And the rest of the world
If I could be your sun
If I could be your stars
You could never disappoint me, because
Your who you are
If I could be the angel
If I could be the prettiest girl
Every tear you've ever cried
Would all be turned to pearls
I I could be your sun
If I could be your stars
You'd be safe from harm
No matter where you are
And the bells
First a kiss, then a fall
Some pale shade takes it all
Tangled up in a knot
One foot free, one foot caught
Light the stove with a match
I just wait, I just think
I'm so sad, I can't stand
A good friend is hard to find
But you'll have one if you open your eyes
A good friend is hard to find
I found you
Will you be mine?
And time will show
Time will show
A good friend is hard to find
But you'll have one if you open your eyes
A good friend is hard to find
I found you
Will you be mine?
And time will show
Time will show
And time will show
Time will SHOW
Slowly build
A pile a bones
Once sucked down
Now come ashore
Things
keep washing up
Keep washing
Keep washing up
In the sky
Spotlights search
The ghosts of birds
The ghosts of things gone by
How can we live
Forget
Loss leader, losing sight of the shore
Can't take this loss loop anymore, anymore
Water - running down
Water - running down
Now things taste kind of bitter
Two muddy shoes, far from home, far from home
Water - running down
Water - running down - RUNNING DOWN
And as I walk back
I feel the moon against my neck
Loss leader, losing sight of the shore
Jon thinks I've been sad enough
But I just can't agree
It's not so sad for me
Things I thought might come true
They never do
They never do
Once stood on a shore so grand
Slept in a gravely bed
In a kingdom so pure
Three angels - holes in their socks
Three angels - holes in their socks
I'll take the one on the right
You take the one on the left
One in the middle
One to forget
Take a walk - 'round the block
Take a walk - 'round the block
Three angels - holes in their socks
Two to play
One to sing
They know...
EVERYTHING
Take a walk - 'round the block
Dry heave doubt
From a little old dragon's mouth
Split lip and split tongue
Finally, cross-eyed
She stands next to the cigarette machine
This device has got it made, she thinks
It has a cast-iron stomach, but a candle for a heart
Odd the way the very stuff falls out
Hard the way it makes you doubt
This thing leaps up, complains, full of vile
Not even star-crossed, just unlucky
Odd how the very stuff falls out
Hard the way it makes you smile
This things leaps up, complains
Walk, just walk away
And throw old things away
Things don't last too long
But when they do
They last too long
Walk, just walk away
And throw old things away
I, I thought I tried
But what, what does that mean?
Walk, just walk away
And throw old things away
Nothing sticks to you
Don't you have to speak now?
Not just look and half smile
All I want's to feel
That I'm barely real
I feel like string
I feel like nothing
Who's the silence for now?
Can your heart still hold
Everything...
Untold?
I feel like string
A white ship sails on a black sea
Takes my love from me
And it takes so long
But then I understand
I under...
STAND
Put your hand in my good hand
Promise not to leave this dry and barren land
And it takes so long
But then I understand
I under...
My words have broken throats
Too ashamed to speak
Afflicted by disease
They are so weak
I'll throw sand in your eye
You need a reason to cry
I'll throw sand in your eye
I need a reason to smile
I went to school to learn
But it didn't work
How do you learn to try
Why can't I?
I'll throw sand in your eye
You need a reason to cry
I'll throw sand in your eye
Spent afternoons
In the smoking room
The things that I said then
Still make me burn with shame
The world is frozen now
Last night I dreamt your face
The skin was falling off
The flesh was turning grey
This is a cave-in
I said I'd stay
Cave-in
Said I'd stay
Last night I had a dream
Your eyes were lit by fire
The way you tried to smile
The way you couldn't smile
This is a cave-in
I said I'd stay
Cave-in
Said I'd stay
These things take so long
So let me help it some
These things take so long
When I see the sun
I hope it shines on me
And gives me everything... well, almost
Some people seem
To be just small hard peas
Sometimes I think it's me
I try so hard for bruises on your back - just to get you back
I try so hard for bruises on your back, tiny and mean
Just to get you back
Just to get you back
Just to get you back
Just to get you back
When I see the sun
I hope it shines on me
And gives me everything
To be one mile high
Then I would kill you all
What I gave to you, just meant nothing
When I see the sun
I hope it shines on me
And gives me everything
When I see the sun
I hope it shines on me
