My eyes are open wide
By the way I made it through the day
I watch the world outside
By the way I'm leaving out today
I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere
Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today
I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere"
Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Here is my chance
This is my chance
Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
This day could be the worst one yet
I just won't relax I can't catch my breath
Because I'm sick and tired of you'll be fine
Well how do you know, can you read minds
So take it while you can so you can meet demands
My insanity is what you thrive on
So rip it from my soul, so everyone will know in the end
We were never friends
Have you ever felt lost inside so unloved within that you almost died
Have you ever stepped out of the light and realized there's a stranger inside
Don't push your ignorance on me
I'm not unrehearsed to your jealousy
And I know you think I don't see the signs
Well how do you know, do I look blind
So take it while you can so you can meet demands
My breakdown is what you thrive on
So rip it from my soul so everyone will know in the end
I'm the break you're the bend
I'm falling apart again
And I can't find a way to make amends
And I'm looking in both directions
But it's make believe, it's all pretend
So...
Shed some light on me
And hold me up in disbelief
And shed some light on me
And tell me something that I'll believe in
It's innocence within the maze
But I have chosen the wrong way
I'm still getting over who I was
There's no sense of trust, there's no definition of love
So...
Shed some light on me
And hold me up in disbelief
And shed some light on me
And tell me something that I'll believe in
I know now, it's not who you are
It's who you know
And I see clearly now, which way to go
I remember the way I fell from above
And I recall the way I was
So...
Shed some light on me
And hold me up in disbelief
And shed some light on me
And tell me something that I'll believe in
Shed some ling on me
And hold me up in disbelief
And shed some light on me
And tell me something that I'll believe
Tell me something that I'll...
Tell me something that I'll believe
Tell me something that I'll believe
Whisper in the yard and turn the trees all into toys
Lay there on the ground, and turn the dirt into your joy
From what I see and what I know, it's all been boring lately
So I suggest we trade a question mark in for a maybe
Time your riddles right, and make a point that has no sense
Make sure that you're smiling, and the money's been well spent
Innocence and ignorance, it all goes hand in hand
I'm not sure that I'm right, but I hope you'll understand
I hope that you're still searching for the start that has no end
And all the plastic people have now become your friends
Before you start to drift and your soul begins to scream
My name is worthless like you told me I once was
My name is empty 'cause you drained away the love
My name is searching since you stole my only soul
My name is hatred, I know reasons we both know
Worthless, empty, searching, hatred
Who am I right now?
You're fuckin' wearing me out!
You're always dragging me down!
You're the fake foreign force of nature, sick man!
I don't need a gun to take back what's mine
It's over
It's over now
You're done wearing me out
My name is screaming like the sound of your heart failing
My name is loco like the motive that betrayed me
Screaming, loco, don't say you know who I am right now
You're fuckin' wearing me out!
You're always dragging me down!
You're the fake foreign force of nature, sick man!
I don't need a gun to take back what's mine
It's over
It's over now
You're done wearing me out
You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out
You'll be ancient history
But who am I right now?
My name is revenge and I'm here to save my name
You're fuckin' wearing me out!
You're always dragging me down!
You're the fake foreign force of nature, sick man!
I don't need a gun to take back what's mine
It's over
It's over
It's over
You're the fake foreign force of nature, sick man!
I don't need a gun to take back what's mine
It's over
It's over now
I'm alive!
Alive!
So you were 6 feet underneath me
I felt the pulse, I swear you moved
You're digging deep, deep down and recognized how much
you had to lose
And if you wanna get out of here, wanna get out of here
Save yourself
But you'll never get anywhere, never get anywhere
Not without my help
[Say it with me]
I'm alive, I'm alive
Well, you're dead inside
I'm a slap in the face
To your lullaby
Got you all tongue tied
'Cause you're living a lie, my friend
Say it with me...
I'm alive, I'm alive
Well, you're dead inside
I'm your wake-up call
And you know I'm right
So make a move
Let it bleed
Tear your heart off your sleeve
But I'm the only one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's gonna...
So how far did you go for shelter?
How long did it take you to find
A place to sell your provadence
And to harm peace of mind
And if you wanna get out of here, wanna get out of here
Save yourself
But you'll never get anywhere, never get anywhere
Not without my help
[Say it with me]
I'm alive, I'm alive
Well, you're dead inside
I'm a slap in the face
To your lullaby
Got you all tongue tied
'Cause you're living a lie, my friend
Say it with me...
I'm alive, I'm alive
Well, you're dead inside
I'm your wake-up call
And you know I'm right
So make a move
Let it bleed
Tear your heart off your sleeve
But I'm the only one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's gonna...
Oh, oh, oh...
I'm alive, I'm alive
Well, you're dead inside
I'm a slap in the face
To your lullaby
Got you all tongue tied
'Cause you're living a lie, my friend
Say it with me...
I'm alive, I'm alive
Well, you're dead inside
I'm your wake-up call
And you know I'm right
So make a move
Let it bleed
Tear your heart off your sleeve
But I'm the only one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's gonna save your life
Turn on the lights, paint me a tapestry
Go start a fire, get close to the gasoline
I followed you to the deep end
I was helpless but still you pulled me in
Now I'm caught in the tide
Lost in the eyes of envy
For whom it concerns
Some never learn
She lacerated me, exposing me piece by piece
She saw a weakness in me, and used it against me
She lacerated me
Turn out the lights, make me a porcelain doll
Whisper your secrets, can't get to the truth at all
I reached out again and again
I could never believe you'd do me in
Now I'm caught in the tide
Lost in the eyes of envy
For whom it concerns
Some never learn
She lacerated me, exposing me piece by piece
She saw a weakness in me, and used it against me
She lacerated me, and now I have nowhere to go
She lacerated me
She lacerated me, and now I have nowhere to go
She lacerated me, release me from all I see
She lacerated me
If you only knew
I'm hanging by a thread, the web I spin for you
If you only knew
I'd sacrifice my beating heart before I lose you
I still hold onto the letters you returned
I swear I've lived and learned
It's 4:03, and I can't sleep
Without you next to me, I toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe in is you
If you only knew
If you only knew how many times I counted
All the words that went wrong
If you only knew how I refuse to let you go
Even when you're gone
I don't regret any days I spent
Nights we shared or letters that I sent
It's 4:03, and I can't sleep
Without you next to me, I toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe in is you
If you only knew, if you will only knew
I still hold onto the letters you returned
You helped me live and learn
It's 4:03, and I can't sleep
Without you next to me, I toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe in is you
Believe in is you, I still believe in you, oh
You've been hanging out for quite awhile now
Livin' off of people you know
Trying to raise a little money to pay off all the monkeys
That you met inside the rabbit hole
You're taking candy from the white witch
You're smokin' tea with Mama Kin
Well, there's a wolf outside a brick house
Screamin', "This time I'm gonna blow it in"
Because the mind is a weapon, see?
And it's got you on your hands and knees
Pull the trigger if you're gonna
We all know that you wanna
Count of 1, 2, 1, 2, 3
You better pray that there's another way out
You better pray that someone's listening now
(And doesn't want to watch you drown)
'Cuz when you lie you're like the devil himself
No angels gonna hear your cry for help
I know you must really think it's funny
You had everybody fooled in the end
But it's a little unassuming considering how you knew me
I'm the only one that called you a friend
Because the mind is a weapon, see?
But you're not gonna use it on me
Pull the trigger if you're gonna
We all know that you wanna
Count of 1, 2, 1, 2, 3
You better pray that there's another way out
You better pray that someone's listening now
(And doesn't want to watch you drown)
'Cuz when you lie you're like the devil himself
No angels gonna hear your cry for help
Count of 1, 2, 1, 2, 3
You better pray that there's another way out
You better pray that someone's listening now
(And doesn't want to watch you drown)
'Cuz when you lie you're like the devil himself
Wrap me in a bolt of lightning
Send me on my way still smiling
Maybe that's the way I should go
Straight into the mouth of the unknown
Left the spare key on the table
Never really thought I'd be able to say
I merely visit on the weekend
I lost my whole life and a dear friend
I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No, never mind
God knows I've tried
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say, so I'll be on my way
I finally put it all together
But nothing really lasts forever
I had to make a choice that was not mine
I had to say goodbye for the last time
I kept my whole life in suitcase
Never really stayed in one place
Maybe that's the way it should be
You know I've led my life like a gypsy
I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No, never mind
God knows I've tried
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say, so I'll be on my way
I'll always keep you inside
You healed my heart and my life
And you know I tried
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say, so I'll be on my way
Excuse the mess, I didn't see you from behind
I caught a glimpse, but the reflection's only mine
It's almost like I'm paralyzed and locked outside myself
What I don't need is to concede because I won't be someone else
I am not perfect and I don't claim to be
And if that's what you wanted
Well then I'm so sorry
How about a better version of, the way that I am
How about a better version that, makes me understand
How about a better version of, the way that I am
The way I look, The way I speak,
How about a better version of me
Excuse the wall, I put it up from time to time
A silver shade, and the design is all mine
It's just a maze that everyday I seem to be stuck in
It never seems to fade away but I pray for the day it ends
I am not perfect and I don't claim to be
And if that's what you wanted
Well then I'm so sorry
Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle, one not on the list
Send away for a perfect world
One not simply, so absurd
In these times of doing what you're told
You keep these feelings, no one knows
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high up on the shelf
Left for you, no one else
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
Everyone's pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
Nobody knows what I believe
I believe
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45, 45
Two packs of cigarettes a day
The strongest whiskey Kentucky can make
That's a recipe to put a vagabond
On his hands and knees
I watched it all up close
I knew him more than most
I saw a side of him he never showed
Full of sympathy for a world that wouldn't let him be
That's the man he was
Have you heard enough?
What a shame, what a shame
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same, what a shame
There's a hard life for every silver spoon
There's a touch of gray for every shade of blue
That's the way that I see life
If there was nothing wrong then there'd be nothing right
And for this working man
They say could barely stand
There's gotta be a better place to land
Some kind of remedy for a world that wouldn't let him be
That's the man he was
Have you heard enough?
What a shame, what a shame
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same, what a shame
God forgive the hands that laid you down
They never knew how
But your broken heart can break the sound
And change the seasons
Now the leaves are falling faster
Happily ever after
You gave me hope through your endeavors
And now you will live forever
What a shame, what a shame
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same, what a shame
What a shame, what a shame
'Cause we're not all the same
What a shame, what a shame
I painted your room at
Midnight, so I'd know
Yesterday was over
I put all your books
On the top shelf,
Even the one with
The four leaf clover
Man, I'm getting older
I took all your pictures
Off the wall and wrapped
Them in a news paper blanket
I haven't slept in what seems
Like a century, and now I can
Barely breathe
[Chorus]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late
Your words still serenade me,
Your lullaby's won't let me sleep
I've never heard such a haunting
Melody. Oh, it's killing me
You know I can barely breathe
[Chorus]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away -
Like a crow chasing the Butterfly
dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late
Yeah, I get it, you're an outcast
Always under attack, always coming in last
Bringing up the past, no one owes you anything
I think you need a shotgun blast, a kick in the ass
So paranoid, watch your back
Oh my, here we go
Another lose cannon gone bi-polar
Slipped down, couldn't get much lower
Quicksand's got no sense of humor
I'm still laughing like hell
You think that by crying to me
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe
You've been infected by a social disease
Well, then take your medicine
I created the sound of madness, wrote the book on pain
Somehow I'm still here to explain
That the darkest hour never comes in the night
You can sleep with a gun
When you gonna wake up and fight for yourself?
I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality
If there's an afterlife then it'll set you free
But I'm not gonna part the seas
You're a self-fulfilling prophecy
You think that by crying to me
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe
You've been infected by a social disease
Well, then take your medicine
I created the sound of madness, wrote the book on pain
Somehow I'm still here to explain
That the darkest hour never comes in the night
You can sleep with a gun
When you gonna wake up and fight for yourself?
I created the sound of madness, wrote the book on pain
Somehow I'm still here to explain
That the darkest hour never comes in the night
You can sleep with a gun
When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up and fight?
I created the sound of madness, wrote the book on pain
Somehow I'm still here to explain
That the darkest hour never comes in the night
You can sleep with a gun
When you gonna wake up and fight for yourself?
When you gonna wake up and fight for yourself?
When you gonna wake up and fight for yourself?
When you gonna wake up and fight for yourself?
Someday, when I'm older
And they never know my name
Somehow, if I'm honest
I can never feel ashamed
Maybe I was wrong to
Hold you up so high
Now I know I've lost you
To the feelings I kept inside
I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time
Someday, when it's over
And you never show your face
I hope you'll remember
How I tried to make you a place
And so now, I move on
To keep my piece of mind
In someway, I've failed you
But I just ran out of time
I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time
I'm not sure that you hear me
I'm not sure that you look at me the same
I will always be attached to you
But I'm never gonna feel the same
I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time
No, you never took the time
Take a good look at agony
Force fed pass down time release
I'm inspired to find the liar
Black list X on the back of a soulful man
I've got ways you understand
Look left, look right but I'm behind you
I never noticed until I focused
On everything you did, you said
You lit the fuse inside my head
Thank you for reminding me of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did you think it would paralyze?
These scars I scratch, I tear are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me to sin with a grin
Hangman standing on a twisted 2 by 4
Built your house but forgot to lock the door
I'm inside with two black eyes
I have not one shred of sympathy
I have no use for apologies
I'm inspired to find the lie
I never noticed until I focused
On everything you did, you said
You lit the fuse inside my head
Thank you for reminding me of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did you think it would paralyze?
These scars I scratch, I tear are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me to sin with a grin
Thank you for reminding me of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did you think it would paralyze?
These scars I scratch, I tear are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did you think it would paralyze?
These scars I scratch, I tear are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me to sin with a grin
My mama told me when I was young
Said sit beside me my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day
Oh, yeah it will
Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget that there is a someone up above
And be a simple kind of man
And be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
Then you can
Don't get your lust from the rich man's gold
All that you need now is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby if you try
All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
And be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
If you can
Oh, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby if you try
All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
So baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
I got a candle
And I've got a spoon
I live in a hallway with no doors
And no rooms
Under a windowsill
They all were found
A touch of concrete within the doorway
Without a sound
Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me if you can
From my blasphemy in my wasteland
How did I get here
And what went wrong
Couldn't handle forgiveness
Now I'm far beyond gone
I can hardly remember
The look of my own eyes
How can I love this a life so dishonest
It made me compromise
Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me if you can
From my blasphemy in my wasteland
Jump in the water
Jump in with me
Jump on the altar
Lay down with me
The hardest question to answer
Is why
Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me if you can
From my blasphemy in my wasteland
Someone save me
Someone save me
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
Say it once, tell me twice
Are you certain I'm alright?
Just a sign, to remind me
Tomorrow's worth the fight
Ever changing the storyline that keeps me alive
So make a wish, and say
Give me life, give me love
Scarlet angel from above
Not so low, not so high
Keep it perfectly disguised
Every changing the storyline that keeps me alive
My Mona Lisa's making me smile
Right before my eyes!
Take another look
Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am
I just want you to see
What I've always believed
You are
The miracle in me
Show me faith, like you do
I'm amazed at how you move
Side to side, front to back
You know how to make it last
Ever changing the storyline that keeps us alive
My Mona Lisa's making me smile
Right before my eyes!
Take another look
Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am
I just want you to see
What I've always believed
You are
The miracle in me
These are the moments you can't pass back
Let's turn the water to wine
One more time!
Take another look
Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am
I just want you to see
What I've always believed
You are
The miracle in me
The miracle in me
Should I offer up my hand
And save a wish for once
For all of us
And should I offer up my hand
And lay the guilt on myself
So it's easier , to not stay, to not stay
Because I found you in your corner
I pulled you out of the clouds
You left in such a hurry
Your face got lost in the crowd
Should I open up my eye's or just ignore who you are
And what you could have been
And should I open up my eye's and make believe you will change
Where's that space of fear you hide?
Have you gone way beyond the center
Out there in space
I know you need to get even
Tell me the one about the hand that holds you down
Because the bruise on your face, it always seems to stay around
And tell me the one about the hand that holds you down
Because you seem to be lost, with no intention to be found
So how does it feel
And how does it feel
To be the one whose always in the way
To be the words that never made the page
Be the one that's always
Left out in the rain
Tell me again about the spark that met the flame
And tell me again about the man who went insane
Is there a place within for redemption
Is there a voice inside with a decision
And if so when, and if so then, where's the conviction
So how does it feel
And how does it feel
I know that you need to get even
And I know it's for all the right reasons
And I, well I know that your staring at the edge
In an earthquake, in main space
Where I fell into you
In a starlight, you look so bright
You eclipse the moon
On a highway, just today
That's where I saw you
It was music from a distance
Burning proof
She's here to rescue me
Clear my mind, and set me free
If it's dark, she still shines
A masterpiece made by design
She's here to rescue me
Stain my mind with make believe
If it's dark, she still shines
She's my lady, so divine
Lady so divine, come and change my mind
Lady so divine
When the waves break, and the soul shake
Wreckage from the night
On a mountain is a story
Told a thousand times
Of a garden, and a bed there
Made to rest our eyes
There's a comfort to a softness
That will not be denied
She's here to rescue me
Clear my mind, and set me free
If it's dark, she still shines
A masterpiece made by design
She's here to rescue me
Stain my mind with make believe
If it's dark, she still shines
She's my lady, so divine
Lady so divine, come and change my mind
Lady so divine
The midnight sun, she saves me
From what I've become
The midnight sun, she saves me
From what I have done
What I have done
She's here to rescue me
Clear my mind, and set me free
If it's dark, she still shines
A masterpiece made by design
She's come to rescue me
Stain my mind with make believe
If it's dark, she still shines
She's my lady, so divine
Divine!
Divine!
Divine!
She's my lady so divine
Divine!
She's my lady so divine
Lady so divine, come and change my mind
Some of the ugliest things took the longest time to make
And some of the easiest habits are the hardest one's to break
And I'm not asking for value nor the pain
But I am asking for a way out of this lie
'Cause I can't wait for you to catch up with me
And I can't live in the past and drown myself in memories
Welcome to nowhere and finding out where it is
And fixing your problems and starting over again
Your feeding your ego with what you can see outside
And your killing yourself for not speaking your mind
'Cause I can't wait for you to catch up with me
And I can't live in the past and drown myself in memories
In memory
I wonder why you make believe, you live your life straight through me
I cannot understand why you question me and then you lie
I will not justify your ways I cannot show you an escape
I do not know you any more, I never knew you anyway
'Cause I can't wait for you to catch up with me
And I can't live in the past and drown myself in memories
'Cause I can't wait
And I can't live in the past and drown myself in memories
All dressed up
In a white straitjacket
Shut your mouth
No, you can't have it
Paper airplanes
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow
{chorus}
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you ok
'Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
All messed up
And slightly twisted
Am I sick or am I gifted
Paper airplanes
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow
{chorus}
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you ok
'Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
I don't care if you apologize
I can't lie
I can't lie
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you ok
'Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
[Verse 1:]
If I could find assurance to leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
And all my doubt is a staircase for you
Up and out of this place
The first step is the one you believe in
The second one might be profound.
[Chorus:]
I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm.
I'll follow you down while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you down
[Verse 2:]
You can have the money and the world
The angels and the pearls
Even trademark the color blue
Just like the tower we never built
In the shadow of all the guilt
When the other hand was pointed at you
Yeah the first step is the one you believe in
The second one might be profound.
[Chorus:]
I'll follow you down, through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm.
I'll follow you down, while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you down to where forever lies
Without a doubt I'm on your side
There's nowhere else that I would rather be
Am not about to comprise, give you up to say goodbye
I'll guide you through the deep I'll keep you close to
[Chorus]
I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm.
I'll follow you down while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you...
If I could find assurance to leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
Come on in, take a seat.
Tell me how you feel this weak.
Are you cursed? Are you blessed?
Are you still inside the mess?
All those feelings wrapped around you,
Hold you down so you can't break through.
Its a trap, so don't ask. Its a shadow on
Your back. It don't burn, it don't bleed,
Still it cuts you at the knee.
All this pressure that surrounds you,
Holds you down but you know you
Gotta break through.
[Chorus]
Hey, C'est la vie.
Remember me? I made you, dressed
And trained you.
Hey, its bitter sweet.
You can't kill me with kindness,
I don't buy it.
Strip down, show me flesh and bone.
(Strip Down.)
'Cause now I own you.
Take a breath, hold it in.
Now look up, let's begin.
Lesson learned, take a turn.
Now you come around again,
All those feelings wrapped around you,
Hold you down so you can't break through.
Time is up, take your shot.
'Cause your story's all you got.
Don't back down, don't say no.
Just exhale and let go.
All this pressure that surrounds you,
Holds you down but you know
You've gotta break through.
[Chorus]
Hey, C'est la vie.
Remember me? I made you, dressed
And trained you.
Hey, its bitter sweet.
You can't kill me with kindness,
I don't buy it.
Strip down, show me flesh and bone.
(Strip Down.)
'Cause now I own you.
(You can't kill me with kindness, no I don't buy it.)
Strip down, show your flesh and bone.
'Cause now I own you.
[Chorus]
Hey, C'est la vie.
Remember me? I made you, dressed
And trained you.
Hey, its bitter sweet.
You can't kill me with kindness,
I don't buy it.
Strip down, show me flesh and bone.
(Strip Down.)
'Cause now I own you.
Now I own you. [x3]
Stare in wonder, who's here to bring you down?
Find your martyr, I'm sure you've made the crown
So light a fire under my bones, so when
I die for you, at least I'll die alone
Ain't nothing for me to end up like this
There's no comparing me this time
All my heroes have now become ghosts
Sold their sorrow to the ones who paid the most
All my heroes are dead and gone
But they're inside of me, they still live on
Dark devotion in a beacon paradise
Shows no emotion to a willing sacrifice
You can put a man on trial but you can't make the guilty pay
And you can cage an animal but you can't take away the rage
Ain't nothing for me to end up like this
There's no comparing me this time
All my heroes have now become ghosts
Sold their sorrow to the ones who paid the most
All my heroes are dead and gone
But they're inside of me, they still live on
All my heroes have now become ghosts
Sold their sorrow to the ones who paid the most
All my heroes are dead and gone
They're inside of me, they still live on
(If I had a world of my own everything will be nonsense,
Nothing will be what it is because everything will be what it isn't)
I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time
And every creature lends themself to change your state of mind
And the girl that chased the rabbit drank the wine and took the pill
Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels
To stand outside your virtue
No one can ever hurt you
Or so they say
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she is dreaming, she knows
Sometimes that curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain
And every ounce of innocence is left inside her brain
And through the looking glass we see she's faithfully returned
But now off with her head I fear is everyone's concern
You see there's no real ending
Its only the beginning
Come out and play
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though shes dreaming
Shes unlocked the meaning for you
This kingdom could rid us her freedom and innocence
Has brought this whole thing down
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she is dreaming
Shes unlocked the meaning
Red knights, white knights, march into the fight, Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me
Red knights, white knights, march into the fight, Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me
Shes unlocked the meaning for you
(In contrary wise, what it is it wouldn't be,
And what it wouldn't be, it would,
pleasing to the eye
laughing as you drown
watch in slow motion as you loose your grip
and you hit the ground
isn’t that the way we all come unglued
when we’re put back together
it’s okay when it is all about you
it’s all easy when it’s all brand new
it’s okay when it is all about you
it’s all easy when it’s all brand new
falling fearless into something new
so much left for me to choose
falling fearless into something new
searching for love just to follow through
pleasing to the eye
wasted away in the night
foolishly abide by everything in a spotlight
isn’t that the way we all come unglued
when we’re put back together
it’s okay when it is all about you
it’s all easy when it’s all brand new
it’s okay when it is all about you
it’s all easy when it’s all brand new
falling fearless into something new
so much left for me to choose
falling fearless into something new
searching for love just to follow through
there is no other way
no sudden ties to achieve
there is no precious sight
no byzantine light that I can see
there is no other way
no sudden ties to achieve
there is no precious sight
no byzantine light that I can see
falling fearless into something new
so much life for me to choose
falling fearless into something new
searching for love just to follow through
falling fearless
falling fearless
falling fearless
falling….
This place has begun to cover me
I recall the light, but the dark smothers me
I prefer the feelings I know right now
I don't worry about feeling very proud
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake
It's almost seeing your soul for the first time
And watching the mirror show you life in rewind
Capture the ridicule of everyone
I'm tired of trying, and they wonder why I'm gone
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake
I can't fake it
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake
But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
You make it up as you go along.
Why pretend that you're something that you're not?
I believe in you and always will
Ever since you told me you're for real
Inside, emotional mood swing soon collide.
Now gather up all your tenacity.
Take my hand 'cause I set you free.
[Chorus]
Who cares who's there to stare
And tell you how I look?
I'm not even sure they know you by name.
Who cares who's there to share what they think of you?
Everybody here plays the same fucking games.
Alright, alright, alright,
You're such an energy.
Alright, alright, alright,
You're such an energy.
Let me see your fly,
Put your fist up in the air.
Alive, that's how I want you to feel tonight.
Live, you're only here once, so do it well.
Fight, you all need to rise up and give them hell,
There is no reason to wonder if you should.
Go tell them you can't be bought or sold.
Break your silence and tell them who you are,
'Cause they're all witness to a shooting star.
[Chorus]
Who cares who's there to stare
And tell you how I look?
I'm not even sure they know you by name.
Who cares who's there to share what they think of you?
Everybody here plays the same fucking games.
Alright, alright, alright,
You're such an energy.
Alright, alright, alright,
You're such an energy.
Let me see your fly,
Put your fist up in the air.
Tell me how you feel is stroong enough.
Tell me, 'cause all eyes are on you now, yeah.
[Chorus]
Who cares who's there to stare
And tell you how I look?
I'm not even sure they know you by name.
Who cares who's there to share what they think of you?
Everybody here plays the same fucking games.
Alright, alright, alright,
You're such an energy.
Alright, alright, alright,
You're such an energy.
Let me see your fly,
Put your fist up in the air.
You're such an energy.
Woah you're an energy.

Every time that the sun still sets
I pray they don't take mine

Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!
Take it and take it and take it and take it and take it all
Take it and take it and take it until you take us all
Smash it and crash it and thrash it and trash it
They're only toys
Try it, you'll like it, don't hide it, don't fight it, just let it out
Steal and shoot it and kill it or take another route
Take it and take it and take it
You know they're only toys
Devour, devour
Suffocate your own empire
Devour, devour
It's your final hour
Devour, devour
Stolen like a foreign soul
Devour, devour
What a way to go
You want it, you want it, you want it, you want it
Well, here it is, everything, everything, everything
Isn't so primitive
Take it and take it and take it and take it and take it all
Nobody, nobody wants to feel like this
Nobody, nobody wants to live like this
Nobody, nobody wants a war like this
Devour, devour
Suffocate your own empire
Devour, devour
It's your final hour
Devour, devour
Stolen like a foreign soul
Devour, devour
What a way to go
Diving down
Round and round
Diving down
Round and round
Devour, devour
Suffocate your own empire
Devour, devour
It's your final hour
Devour, devour
Stolen like a foreign soul
Devour, devour
What a way to go
Devour, devour
Suffocate your own empire
Devour, devour
It's your final hour
Devour, devour
Stolen like a foreign soul
Devour, devour
She's a steel thrill suicide they say,
Cyanide in her plastic veins
She's a mannequin of misery,
She's on a bender,
But she ain't gonna break.
Hey, Hey.
Taste like sugar, but it's Novocaine.
She's grinding teeth ,
She can sharpen the pain
White lights, Train wreck.
Black lips, Pale Eyes
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.
She's a killer,
She's my,
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.
Strychnine
Cerebellum feeds the brain,
Hurricane in a violent rage.
They say,
She's a looker just like Anna Nicole.
Oh, no.
Fuck the silver,
Let's go straight for the gold.
Hey, hey
Digging deeper than a six foot hole,
She's snorting cocaine through a suicide note.
White light. Train wreck.
Black lips, Pale Eyes
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.
She's a killer,
She's my,
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.
White lights. Train wreck.
Black lips, Pale Eyes
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.
She's a killer,
Not my,
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.
Black lips, Pale Eyes
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.
She's a zero,
Point five
Don't use a weakness, don't change the subject
Don't ask the questions if you fear the answer
You look distorted, let's make you clearer
Let's flip the switch and use the smoke and mirrors
Reinvent yourself today
Reinvent your world today
Cryin' out for the last time
Clear a space for the warning signs
Cryin' out for the last time
And there's no turning back
Now that you've opened up to your mind
What guides your vision, what holds the balance?
Don't think that I can't see you shake and tremble
Well, I know you're nervous, this world is scary
You have to let go all the madness you carry
Reinvent yourself today
Reinvent your world today
Cryin' out for the last time
Clear a space for the warning signs
Cryin' out for the last time
And there's no turning back
Now that you've opened up to your mind
There is no turning back now
Everything you've ever wanted
Everything in this moment
There is no turning back now
Cryin' out for the last time
Clear a space for the warning signs
Cryin' out for the last time
And there's no turning back
Now that you've opened up to your
Cryin', crying for the last time
I feel like there is no need for conversation
Some questions are better left without a reason
And I would rather reveal myself than my situation
Now and then I consider, my hesitation
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning, burning bright
I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
To spare myself of the constant shame of my existence
And I would surely redeem myself in my desperation
Here and now I'll express, my situation
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning bright
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning
There's nothing ever wrong but nothing's ever right
Such a cruel contradiction
I know I cross the lines it's not easy to define
I'm born to indecision
There's always something new some path I'm supposed to choose
With no particular rhyme or reason
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning bright
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning
It's 8 AM, this hell I'm in
Seems I've crossed a line again
For being nothing more than who I am
So break my bones and throw your stones
We all know that life ain't fair
But there's more of us we're everywhere
We don't have to take this back against the wall
We don't have to take this we can end it all
All you'll ever be is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke while they hang another rope so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don't hurt can you hear me
No one's gonna cry on the very day you die you're a bully
Think it through you can't undo
Whenever I see black and blue I feel the past, I share the bruise
With everyone who's come and gone
My head is clear my voice is strong, now I'm right here to right the wrong
We don't have to take this back against the wall
We don't have to take this we can end it all
All you'll ever be is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke while they hang another rope so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don't hurt can you hear me
No one's gonna cry on the very day you die you're a bully
It's 8 AM, the hell I'm in
Your voice is strong, now right the wrong
All you'll ever be is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke while they hang another rope so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don't hurt can you hear me
No one's gonna cry on the very day you die you're a bully
All you'll ever be is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke while they hang another rope so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don't hurt can you hear me
No one's gonna cry on the very day you die you're a bully
We don't have to take this back against the wall
Once I had a halo
But then it caught on fire
Once I knew a good man
But he turned into a liar
Once I saw a blind man
Still looking for his eyes
Once I met a bastard
Who watched his father die
And now, I'll tell you how
I know them all
I'm looking down on the atmosphere
I'm took my number, and I waited in line
I'm not frail from the exposure
I'm taking pictures with my mind
I'm looking down on the atmosphere
I'm took my number, and I waited in line
I'm not frail from the exposure
I'm taking pictures with my mind
Once I met a leader
Born from genocide
Once I knew a preacher
To his faith, he said goodbye
Once I met a good girl
Who shows her face no more
It's hard to learn your lesson
When you become the whole world's whore
And now, I'll tell you how
I know them all
I'm looking down on the atmosphere
I'm took my number, and I waited in line
I'm not frail from the exposure
I'm taking pictures with my mind
I'm looking down on the atmosphere
I'm took my number, and I waited in line
I'm not frail from the exposure
I'm taking pictures with my mind
I'm looking down on the atmosphere
I'm looking down on the atmosphere
I know them all...
And now, I'll tell you how
I know them all
Looking down on the atmosphere
Looking down on the atmosphere
I took my number, and I wait in line
In a while now I will feel better
I'll face the weather before me
In a while now I'll race the irony
And buy back each word of my eulogy
All the uninvited tragedies
Step outside
Ask yourself now
Where would you be without
Days like this
When you finally collide
With the moment you can't forget
So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you'd open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
Bloom
Stay a while now
Undress your colors
Cause they're like no others
I've ever seen
I could get used to your company
Step inside
Ask yourself now
Where would you be without
Days like this
When you finally collide
With the motions you can't resist
So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you'd open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
In a while now
I will feel better
I will be better
So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you'd open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
Bloom
Amaryllis
Bloom
I lie here alone and wonder why
That I come alive just before I have to hide
'Cause I believe I'm losing my nerve
But could I ever do better than this?
'Cause all I ever wanted was a place to call my home
To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone
All I've ever wanted was a place to call my own
Where stars will dance and sun still shines
And the storms feel free to roam
I listen if only for a while
But I can't decide if I'm aware that I'm on trial
'Cause I believe I'm losing my nerve
But could I ever do better than this?
'Cause all I ever wanted was a place to call my home
To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone
All I've ever wanted was a place to call my own
Where stars will dance and sun still shines
And the storms feel free to roam
If there's a way to a remedy then lead me straight to it
If there's a path or a door I missed then show me now
Then show me this
'Cause all I ever wanted was a place to call my home
To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone
'Cause all I've ever wanted was a place to call my own
Where stars will dance and sun still shines
And the storms feel free to roam
Give me the wheel, so we can move a little faster.
I'll make it real, I'm not a glorious disaster.
What part of living says you gotta die?
I plan on burning through another night lost.
One more for measure, that's ten for the soul.
That never sleeps so are you ready to go?
Bloodshot against the clear blue sky.
Tick tock I think the well is running dry.
My my, I can't lie.
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline.
Dead scared cause am fearless in the head.
Bang bang cause the needle's in the red.
My my, I can't lie.
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline.
My my!
My sweet a adrenaline.
Crack in the vision, who said the motivation's all wrong?
Not your decision, the detonation of a time bomb.
Which way is up, when your high is low?
It's time to find it are you ready to go?
Bloodshot against the clear blue sky.
Tick tock I think the well is running dry.
My my, I can't lie.
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline.
Dead scared cause am fearless in the head.
Bang bang cause the needle's in the red.
My my, I can't lie.
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline.
My my!
My sweet a adrenaline.
My my just cant lie,
its the speed and the sound that am dying to try.
My my just cant lie,
its the love of the chase that created the ride!
Bloodshot against the clear blue sky.
Tick tock I think the well is running dry.
My my, I can't lie.
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline.
Dead scared cause am fearless in the head.
Bang bang cause the needle's in the red.
My my, I can't lie.
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline.
My my!
Come closer inside
There's something I need you to see
It's just a picture of what the ignorant believe
I come so you can know me
I'm here to make you proud
I come to wreck and guide you
I'm here to show you how
You know I'm coming for you
Cause I got nothing to lose
And now I'm still on my way for the pay
So you wanted to be free from everything you've done to me?
And you wanted to be known so you wouldn't feel so alone?
And you wanted to believe that you steal our integrity?
And I'm sorry you're on your knees, but you can't blame me, yer majesty
Let's take a moment
I need to spoil who you are
I played your game once
You sold me out with no regard
I come so you can know me
I'm here to make you proud
I come to wreck and guide you
I'm here to voice out loud
You know I'm coming for you
Cause I got nothing to lose
And now I'm still on my way for the pay
So you wanted to be free from everything you've done to me?
And you wanted to be known so you wouldn't feel so alone?
And you wanted to believe that you steal our integrity?
And I'm sorry you're on your knees, but you can't blame me, yer majesty
So you wanted to be free from everything you've done to me?
And you wanted to be known so you wouldn't feel so alone?
And you wanted to believe that you steal our integrity?
Deal with me
Don't even think about leaving yet
I'm not a part of some false regret
Even though I believe in fables
Come reset
A part of life that you'd soon forget
And maybe think about who you hurt
In the process
I don't think they know, that's my heart exposed
From the fearing of the endless lies
Trade yourself in for the perfect one
No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined
Trade yourself in for diamond eyes
Watch the stars collide as you're lifted from your burden
You see me
And you know I am not the same
Can't pretend to just fake a smile
Cause you know I feel every ounce of
Pain combined
With the loss of a youthful mind
You need to look at what you've become
And try to figure out where you came from
I don't think they know, that's my heart exposed
From the fearing of the endless lies
Trade yourself in for the perfect one
No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined
Trade yourself in for diamond eyes
Watch the stars collide as you're lifted from your burden
I know you can't feel a thing
It hurts to feel anymore
Trade yourself in for the perfect one
No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined
Trade yourself in for diamond eyes
Watch the stars collide as you're lifted from your burden
Trade yourself in for the perfect one
No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined
Trade yourself in for diamond eyes
I found a note with your name
And a picture of us
Even though it was framed
And covered in dust
It's the map in my mind that sends me on my way
They say it's never too late
To stop being afraid
And there is no one else here
So why should I wait?
And in the blink of an eye the past begins to fade
So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say "I'm not scared"
Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I've been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind
If I told you that you're not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
I've seen a million miles
Met a million faces
Took all I knew
To reach all these places
And I'd do it again
If it brings me back to you
So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say "I'm not scared"
Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I've been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind
If I told you that you're not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I've been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind
If I told you that you're not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
Put your hands in the air
Speak of the devil, look who just walked into the room.
The guilted invaded notion of someone I once knew.
All the perfect moments are wrong.
All the precious pieces are gone.
Everthing that mattered is just a city of dust...covering both of us.
Did you hide yourself away?
I can't see you anymore.
Did you eclipsed another day?
I used to wake up to the color of your soul.
Did you hide you yourself away?
Are you living through the ghost?
Did you finally find the place above the shadow
So, the world will never know...
The world will never know you like I do.
So many silent sorrows you'll never hear from again
And now that you lost tomorrow,
Is yesterday still a friend?
All the bridges we built were burned,
Not a single lesson was learned.
Everything that mattered is just a city a dust...covering both of us.
Did you hide you yourself away?
I can't see you anymore.
Did you eclipse another day?
I used to wake up to the color of your soul.
Did you hide yourself away?
Are you living through the ghost?
Did you finally find a place above the shadow
So, the world will never know...
The world will never know you...like I do.
Like I still do...
Did you hide yourself away?
I can't see you anymore.
Did you eclipse another day?
I used to wake up to the color of your soul.
Color of your soul...
Did you hide yourself away?
Are you living through the ghost?
Did you finally find a place above the shadow
So, the world will never know...
Paint it black and white if you like
The stories still the same
A generation built on a lie
That everyone of us is safe
Paint it black and white if you like
If it keeps you sane
You know the world just ain't right
So tell me who's to blame
(And I will catch you but you might break the fall)
God damn, I might be the son of Sam
The only child of a holy man
I stand alone for all to see
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me
God damn, son of Sam
God damn, son of Sam
Burning buildings from above
Send their best and send their love
Turn away, goodbye, goodnight
Go to sleep, now don't you cry
Are you afraid your life means less?
Are you concerned you might be next?
It's much too soon for me to tell
If you're in heaven or in hell
(And I will catch you but you might break the fall)
God damn, I might be the son of Sam
The only child of a holy man
I stand alone for all to see
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me
God damn, son of Sam
God damn, son of Sam
Your ceiling falling piece by pieces
Raining down like concrete
Just surrender and remember
What you've done to me
Look now over your shoulder
No it's not over
It's just beginning
And I will write the final ending
God damn, I might be the son of Sam
The only child of a holy man
I stand alone for all to see
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me
God damn, I might be the son of Sam
The only child of a holy man
I stand alone for all to see
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me
Son of Sam, son of Sam, son of Sam, son of Sam
Son of Sam
All it takes is a main attraction
Scattered bones underneath the fashion
Lower life on a higher plane
That's what you want, that's what they're giving away
Photogenic, come and get it, you can have it, take it all
Schizophrenic, so sadistic, I don't know, I don't know
Politician, sick condition, dying for a curtain call
Counter culture, full of vultures, bet you think I'm what
We're going all out so get 'em up, get 'em up
And if they wanna take our picture tell 'em I don't give a fuck
No one needs you after all
That little social scene is just a hate machine
No one's here to take your call
And now your self-esteem ain't what it used to be
You've inspired
The birth of ignorance, the death of innocence
Guess who's back and mad as hell
Nowhere kids that wished you well
Nowhere (kids)
Nowhere (kids)
Nowhere
That new face of an old distraction
Another victim with the same reaction
A catastrophic contradiction at best
I know you're hangin' onto zeros 'cause you got nothing left
Photogenic, come and get it, you can have it, take it all
Schizophrenic, so sadistic, I don't know, I don't know
Politician, sick condition, dying for a curtain call
Counter culture, full of vultures, bet you think I'm what
We're going all out so get 'em up, get 'em up
And if they wanna take our picture tell 'em I don't give a fuck
No one needs you after all
That little social scene is just a hate machine
No one's here to take your call
And now your self-esteem ain't what it used to be
You've inspired
The birth of ignorance, the death of innocence
Guess who's back and mad as hell
Nowhere kids that wished you well
Nowhere
No one needs you after all
That little social scene is just a hate machine
No one's here to take your call
And now your self-esteem ain't what it used to be
You've inspired
The birth of ignorance, the death of innocence
Guess who's back and mad as hell
Nowhere kids that wished you well
Nowhere (kids)
Nowhere (kids)
Nowhere (kids)
Nowhere (kids)
Nowhere (kids)
Nowhere (kids)
It's cold outside I'm sensing fear
My self control has disappeared
I'm spinning out at each end
Could you be kind and let me in
Despite the writing on the wall
My future's bleak and rather small
That's all you could ever take from me
I've got nothing to lose so let me be
Well I sized you up your not that strong
You're weak inside I knew all along
This made up army you fight in your head
Destroyed your worth and pronounced you dead
There's no more love
There's no more love
There' no more love for me and you (Listen to me)
No more love
There's no more love
There' no more love for me and you (Listen to me)
The cruelest joke that has played on me
Is all planned out so I can't leave
Now quietly I will walk away
There is no bad blood but I can't stay
There is no more love because there is no more love
There's no more love
There's no more love
There' no more love for me and you (Listen to me)
No more love
There's no more love
[Verse 1:]
I remember like yesterday
You had a dream in your eyes and a smile on your face
And I'm missing those days again yeah I'm missing those days again
And I forgot what really got in the way
Maybe the sun that wouldn't shine should be taking the blame
Cause it's raining on me again yeah it's raining on me again
[Bridge:]
A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost, was me
For my sake please...
[Chorus:]
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough's enough.
Let's be honest, your promise, was never meant to last
So am taking you on, I'm calling you out.
There's nothing left for us here now.
Let's be honest, I promise, I'm never lookin' back for my sake.
For my sake.
[Verse 2:]
Tell me something that's poetic at best
Make me believe there was a time that you weren't like the rest
And I'll never ask you again, and I'll never ask you again
For all the moments and the memories
No one could ever say we never had a history
But I'm leaving that all behind
And there is nothing gonna change my mind
[Bridge:]
A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost, was me
For my sake please...
[Chorus:]
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough's enough.
Let's be honest, your promise, was never meant to last
So am taking you on, I'm calling you out.
There's nothing left for us here now.
Let's be honest, I promise, I'm never lookin' back for my sake.
For my sake.
[Bridge:]
A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost, was me
For my sake please...
Stop slowing me down
Stop holding me up
Stop slowing me down
Enough's enough
[Chorus:]
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough's enough.
Let's be honest, your promise, was never meant to last
So am taking you on, I'm calling you out.
There's nothing left for us here now.
Let's be honest, I promise, I'm never lookin' back for my sake.
Hello, let me introduce you to
The characters in the show
One says yes, one says no
Decide - which voice in your head you can keep alive
Even in madness, I know you still believe
Paint me on canvas so I become
What you could never be
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
Wear my soul and call me a liar
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to
Hello, are you still chasing
The memories in shadows
Some stay young, some grow old
Come alive, there are thoughts unclear
You can never hide
Even in madness, I know you still believe
Paint me on canvas so I become
What you could never be
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
Wear my soul and call me a liar
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to
Hello
Hello...
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
Wear my soul and call me a liar
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to
Hello...
Hello...
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to
I dare you to tell me
Here's the weight of the world on my shoulders
Here's the weight of the world on my shoulders
On my shoulders, yeah, yeah
All alone I pierce the chain
And on and on the sting remains
And dieing eyes consume me now
The voice inside screams out loud
I am focused on what I am after
The key to the next open chapter
'Cause I found a way
To steal the sun from the sky
Long live that day
That I decided to fly from the inside, yeah
Every day a new deception
Pick your scene and take direction
And on and on I search to connect
But I don't wear a mask and I have no regrets
I am focused on what I am after
The key to the next open chapter
'Cause I found a way
To steal the sun from the sky
Long live that day
That I decided to fly from the inside
I can't escape the pain, I can't control the rage
Sometimes I think that I'm gonna go insane
I'm not against what's right, I'm not for what's wrong
I'm just making my way and I'm gone
Here's the weight of the world
On my shoulders
'Cause I found a way
To steal the sun from the sky
Long live that day
That I decided to fly from inside
That I decided to fly from inside
Somethings wrong with you I see
Your eyes have turned a shade of empty
In my arms you pushed aside
Wondered if you'd ever be
Alright again and try to fix
Whats goin on inside of you
There's no reason to be afraid
You cant blame yourself
For the worlds mistakes
Now its time to let it go
Look out, look in and realize
You always get so carried away
Theres times and things you can never change
Dont get so carried away
Even now you hide behind
Those imitations in your mind
Through every act
From the middle to the end
You have played the part as your only friend
You steal the rush
From the hands of time
And they'll never to catch up with you
There's no reason to be afraid
You cant blame youself
For the worlds mistakes
Now its time to let it go
Look out, look in and realize
You always get so carried away
Theres times and things you can never change
Dont get so carried away
You need to find out whats for real
And know how i wish you would understand
And listen
Look out, look in and realize
You always get so carried away
Look out, look in and realize
You always get so carried away
Theres times and things you can never change
Dont get so carried away
Look out, look in and realize
You always get so carried away
Theres time and things you can never change
Listen up
There's not a moment to spare
It's quite a drop from the top
So how you feeling down there
It's a cold, cruel, harsh, reality
Caught, stuck, here with your enemies
Who do you think you are!
Tearing us all apart
Where did you think you could go?
'Cause everyone already knows
It's 20 to 1
Yeah, so you better run
You got the world on it's knees
You're taking all that you please
You want more (You want more)
But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You love the hate that we share
You want more (You want more)
But you'll get nothing from me
But enemies!
Enemies!
You started something that you just couldn't stop
You turn the ones that you love
Into and angriest mob
And the one, last, wishes that you pay for it
And there's, no, way you're getting out of it
Who do you think you are!
Tearing us all apart
Where did you think you could go?
'Cause everyone already knows
It's 20 to 1
Yeah, so you better run
You got the world on it's knees
You're taking all that you please
You want more (You want more)
But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You love the hate that we share
You want more (You want more)
But you'll get nothing from me
But enemies!
Enemies!
Enemies!
Where did you think you could go
'Cause everyone already knows
It's 20 to 1
Yeah, so you better run
You got the world on it's knees
You're taking all that you please
You want more (You want more)
But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You love the hate that we share
You want more (You want more)
But you'll get nothing from me
You got the world on it's knees
You're taking all that you please
You want more (You want more)
But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You love the hate that we share
You want more (You want more)
But you'll get nothing from me
But enemies
Enemies!
I am the shadow, and the smoke in your eyes
I am the ghost, that hides in the night
Boom-lay boom-lay, boom! (repeat)
Wait, wait a minute take a step back,
Gotta think twice before you react.
So stay, stay a little while cause a promise
Not kept is the road to exile
Hey, what's the circumstance
You'll never be great without taking a chance
So, wait you waited too long
Had your hands in your pocket
When you should've been gone.
(Boom-lay boom-lay boom)
One push is all you need
(Boom-lay boom-lay boom)
Fist first philosophy.
(Boom-lay boom-lay boom)
We watch with wounded eyes.
(Boom-lay boom-lay boom)
So I hope you recognize.
Out on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine
The story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness, so long to the regrets
And now I see the world through diamond eyes
Damn, damn it all down
Took one to the chest without even a sound
so, what, what do you worth
The things you love or the people you hurt
Hey, it's like deja vu, a suicidal maniac with nothing to
lose
So wait, it's the exception to the rule
Everyone of us is expendable
(Boom-lay boom-lay boom)
One push is all you need
(Boom-lay boom-lay boom)
Fist first philosophy.
(Boom-lay boom-lay boom)
We watch with wounded eyes.
(Boom-lay boom-lay boom)
So I hope you recognize.
Out on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine
The story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness,
So long to the regrets
And now I know that I'm alive
Out on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine
The story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness so long to the regrets
And now I see the world through
Diamond Eyes
(uuuuuuuuuuuuuh uuuuuh)
Every night of my life I watch angels fall from the sky
Every time that the sun still sets
I pray they don't take mine
guitar solo
I'm on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine
The story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness so long to regrets
Out on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine
The story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness so long to the regrets
And now I know that I'm alive
Out on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine
The story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness, so long to the regrets
And now I see the world through diamond eyes
Out on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine
The story is just beginning
(The story is just beginning)
I say goodbye to my weakness,
So long to the regrets
And now i see the world through
Diamond eyes
Speak to me
So I can understand your tongue
You seem rather fragile
It's been said
It's cold beyond the sun
Have you ever been there?
Communicating thoughts of ways
To never have to speak again
Let me be the fire in your head
Bring what's yours, I'll take what's mine
And meet you on the other side
We'll leave a sign so anyone can find us
A better place, a sweeter time
We won't need any wings to fly
A place beyond the sun
Look for me
The way you would if you were blind
Don't be so resistant
I've been known
To travel much too fast
Is that you in the distance?
Communicating thoughts of ways
To never have to speak again
Let me be the fire in your head
Bring what's yours, I'll take what's mine
And meet you on the other side
We'll leave a sign so anyone can find us
A better place, a sweeter time
We won't need any wings to fly
A place beyond the sun
Communicating thoughts of ways
To never have to speak again
Let me be the fire in your head
Bring what's yours, I'll take what's mine
And meet you on the other side
We'll leave a sign so anyone can find us
A better place, a sweeter time
We won't need any wings to fly
I caught a chill and it's still frozen on my skin
I think about why I'm alone by myself no one else to explain
How far do I go no one knows
If the end is so much better why don't we just live forever?
Don't tell me I'm the last one in line
Don't tell me I'm too late this time
I don't wanna live to waste another day
Underneath the shadow of mistakes I've made
'Cuz I feel like I'm breaking inside
I, I, I, I don't wanna fall and say I lost it all
'Cuz maybe there's a part of me that hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind
And I feel like I'm breaking inside
Out here nothing's clear
Except the moment I decided to move on and I ignited
Disappear into the fear
You know there ain't no coming back when you're still carrying the past
You can't erase, separate
Cigarette in my hand, hope you all understand
I won't be the last one in line
I finally figured out what's mine
I don't wanna live to waste another day
Underneath the shadow of mistakes I've made
'Cuz I feel like I'm breaking inside
I, I, I, I don't wanna fall and say I lost it all
'Cuz maybe there's a part of me that hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind, leaving pieces of me behind
And I feel like I'm breaking inside
I won't be the last one in line
I finally figured out what's mine
I don't wanna live to waste another day
Underneath the shadow of mistakes I've made
'Cuz I feel like I'm breaking inside
I, I, I, I don't wanna fall and say I lost it all
'Cuz maybe there's a part of me that hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind, leaving pieces of me behind
And I feel like I'm breaking inside
And I feel like I'm breaking
Let go of the mystery
And retrace all the steps where you've been
And forget all the history
And start over again
For as you can see
Its up to me
For as you can see
Its all on me
I can't erase it
Because it's with me everyday
The strangest feeling
That never goes away
And I have to face it
Because I can't walk away
And every time I'll
Go until I Break
Let go all confusion
And forget the hate in their eyes
And convince yourself it's illusion
Find a reason to survive
For as you can see
Its up to me
For as you can see
It's all on me
I can't erase it
Because it's with me everyday
The strangest feeling
That never goes away
I have to face it
Because I can't walk away
And every time I'll
Go until I Break
So many I can't be you
But i choose not to be
And maybe I don't need you
To show me how to see
What if the sky fell
And time slipped away
If these are my last words
Then here's what i say
I can't erase it
Because it's with me everyday
The strangest feeling
That never goes away
I can't erase it
Because it's with me everyday
The strangest feeling
That never goes away
I have to face it
Because I can't walk away
And every time I'll
Welcome friends to seconds lost
And starts that won't begin
To twisted eyes that see inside
Rules that always bend
A simple task, a see-through mask
That questions where and why
We shared our skin to occupy
And keep our piece of mind
Bring only what you need to survive
They burn an image from lines on my face
They stole it from the pages that kept my place
I stand on the outside, would die to get in
I crawl inside just to begin again
It's so unfair, this broken smile
That keeps us all aware
Of wishful thoughts and scenes we lost
And times we'll never share
I'll ask you now to show me how
To fill the circle in
What tells us all, there is no fall
And the story never ends
Bring only what you need to survive
They burn an image from lines on my face
They stole it from the pages that kept my place
I stand on the outside, would die to get in
I crawl inside just to begin again
They never [Incomprehensible], they never cared
I wished you'd understand, I'm already dead
What would you be, why would you die?
How would you lie?
Take something from me
(They burn an image)
They took it from me
[Incomprehensible]
(They burn an image)
They took it from me
(Image, image)
They burn an image from lines on my face
They stole it from the pages that kept my place
I stand on the outside, would die to get in
I crawl inside just to begin again
They burn an image from lines on my face
They stole it from the pages that kept my place
I stand on the outside and died to get in
I am a one way motorway
I'm the one that drives away
Then follows you back home
I am a street light shining
I'm a wild light blinding bright
Burning off alone
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again
I am a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
What would you do if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not sing out of key.
I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends,
I'm going to try with a little help from my friends.
What do I do when my love is away
Does it worry me to be alone
How do I feel by the end of the day
Am I sad because I'm on my own
No, I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends,
I'm going to try with a little help from my friends.
Do you need anybody?
I need someone to love.
Could it be anybody?
I need someone, just give me someone to love.
I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends,
I'm going to try with a little help from my friends.
Do you believe in a love at first sight,
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light,
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends,
I'm going to try with a little help from my friends.
Do you need anybody?
I need someone to love.
Could it be anybody?
I need someone, just give me someone to love.
I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends,
I'm going to try with a little help from my friends.
I get by with a little help from my friends.
Get your party gown and get your pigtail down
And get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right I got my act all tight

My little school babe
Your momma says you don't
And your daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time
Tie your mother down

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
You're such a dirty louse go get outa my house
That's all I ever get from you family ties
In fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Screamin' and fussin'
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down

With a brick that's all right
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Get that big big big big big big
Fanny out the door
Tie your mother down yeah
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
Hold me down,
And faze this out of me.
This constant emotion,
That I can never seem to release.
And can I borrow your soul,
If I loan you my mind?
And can I use your thoughts
So I can replace mine?
So much for feeling insecure,
You know,
I cannot continue to ignore my feelings.
So I'll start over once more.
Call me out,
And show me a different view.
This perfect example,
Of how I wish I was more like you.
And can I borrow your soul,
If I loan you my mind?
And can I use your thoughts,
So I can replace mine?
So much for feeling insecure,
You know,
I cannot continue to ignore my feelings,
So I'll start over once more.
Staring down a brand new day.
Everything is still the same.
The mirror hasn't changed my face.
And I know that the world will pass by,
If I always complain cause I never tried.
So much for feeling insecure,
You know,
I cannot continue to ignore my feelings
So I'll start over once more.
Once more
So much for feeling insecure,
You know, I cannot continue to ignore my feelings
And I stay awake, all night.
And I stay awake, just to fight.
It's so surreal, there is no way out of here
I'm caught on both sides, and this I know is clear.
I don't know where you are,
So why do I care.
I know we're both even,
So why's it feel unfair.
Cuz I've been the one who stood by you.
And I've been the one who waited in line
And gave up his time for you
And I've been the one you've soon forgotten
But you never seemed to care,
No, you never seemed to care.
Sometimes the bad and the good blend together.
An open book is as predictable as the weather.
And there are no new ways to reinvent this life,
And there are no instructions on how to make it right.
I don't know where you are,
So why do I care.
I know we're both even,
So why's it feel unfair.
Cuz I've been the one who stood by you.
And I've been the one who waited in line,
And gave up his time for you.
And I've been the one you've soon forgotten.
So you're covered, still I wished you well.
So you struggled, sometimes we all need help.
I know you'll find yourself, sooner or later.
Recover and just move on.
Cuz I've been the one who stood by you.
And I've been the one who waited in line,
And gave up his time for you.
And I've been the one you've soon forgotten,
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
Ask a question, receive an answer
The golden rule doesn't apply to you
All confused now, content with living
Alone inside, solitude
Remind me again, that you're the one
I know you don't like to offend
You think you're special, and no one's equal
I think the bullshit needs to end
Somehow I just don't think you'll last
I know you like the back of my hand
And I know you're the emptiness man
You never have solutions
Yeah but you always gave demands
I know you're the emptiness man
Say your peace now, explain yourself
It cannot always change your mind
Your operating, sophistication
Stealing rhythms all on time
Wants to be the only one
Wants to be the twisted kind
Wants to be the only one
Had to be the first in line
Someday I hope you take off your mask
I know you like the back of my hand
And I know you're the emptiness man
You never have solutions
Yeah but you always gave demands
I know you're the emptiness man
I know your balance for thrills addictions
Your imitations are carrying afflictions
You gotta get into nothing
Or whatever makes you feel inside
I imagine the walls you built
Leave you a comfortable place to hide
I know you like the back of my hand
And I know you're the emptiness man
You never have solutions
Yeah but you always gave demands
I know you're the emptiness man
You're the emptiness man
You're the emptiness man
All by myself
Trying to get back home
Always a kill
Waiting to cast a storm
And I'm not sorry
And I, I don't feel ashamed
Because I'm not one
To look at all for personal glory
I'm not one
To stay at all on my own true story
Did someone notice me when I walked on by
Did someone take the time to recognize
That sometimes words will sting
And hearts may die
Did someone notice me when I said goodbye
How long did you think that I would last
Some
And I don't care now
I, I'm not scared now
Because I'm not one
To look at all for personal glory
I'm not one
To stay at all on my own true story
Did someone notice me when I walked on by
Did someone take the time to recognize
That sometimes words will sting
And hearts may die
Did someone notice me when I said goodbye
If I say to you
What if you were me
Would you stand your ground and choose in what to believe
Or would you?
I know just how you feel
It's no surprise to me
Did someone notice me when I walked on by
Did someone take the time to recognize
That sometimes words will sting
And hearts may die
In an earthquake, it made space
Where I fell into you
In a starlight, you look so bright
You eclipse the moon
On a highway, just today
That's where I saw you
There was music from a distance
Burning through
She's here to rescue me
Clear my mind, and set me free
If it's dark, she still shines
A masterpiece made by design
She's here to rescue me
Stain my mind with make believe
If it's dark, she still shines
She's my lady, so divine
Lady so divine, come and change my mind
Lady so divine
When the waves break, and the souls take
Refuge from the night
On a mountain is a story
Told a thousand times
Of a garden, and a bed there
Made to rest our eyes
There's a comfort to a softness
That will not be denied
She's here to rescue me
Clear my mind, and set me free
If it's dark, she still shines
A masterpiece made by design
She's here to rescue me
Stain my mind with make believe
If it's dark, she still shines
She's my lady, so divine
Lady so divine, come and change my mind
Lady so divine
In the midnight sun, she saves me
From what I've become
The midnight sun, she saves me
From what I have done
What I have done
She's here to rescue me
Clear my mind, and set me free
If it's dark, she still shines
A masterpiece made by design
She's come to rescue me
Stain my mind with make believe
If it's dark, she still shines
She's my lady, so divine
Divine!
Divine!
Divine!
She's my lady so divine
Divine!
She's my lady so divine
Lady so divine, come and change my mind
If I had a world of my own
Everything will be nonsense
Nothing will be what it is
Because everything will be what it isn't
I invite you to a world
Where there is no such thing as time
And every creature lens themselves
To change your state of mind
And the girl that chase the rabbit
Drank the wine and took the pill
Has locked herself in limbo
To see how it truly feels
To stand outside your virtue
No one can ever hurt you or so they say
Her name is Alice
(Alice)
She crawls into the window
Shapes in shadows, Alice
(Alice)
And even though she is dreaming, she knows
Sometimes the curiosity
Can kill the soul but leave the pain
And every ounce of innocence
Is left inside her brain
And through the looking glass
We see shes painfully returned
But now off with her head
I fear is everyone's concern
You see there's no real ending
It's only the beginning, come out and play
Her name is Alice
(Alice)
She crawls into to the window
Shapes in shadows Alice
(Alice)
And even though she is dreaming
Shes a locked for meaning for you
This kingdom good riddance
Good freedom and innocence
Has brought this whole thing down
Her name is Alice
(Alice)
She crawls into to the window
Shapes in shadows, Alice
(Alice)
And even though she is dreaming
Shes a locked for meaning
She's a locked for meaning for you
And contrary wise what it is it wouldn't be
Sunset, Broadway, are all the streets I like
Neon, billboards, that make me feel alive
I don't think they take me serious
Normal life makes me delirious
Ever think you changing your name?
For all the attention you could gain...
Has anybody told you you're vain?
Bow down, bow down
The sinners have the floor
Are we just junkies for fame?
Because it's burned in our brains
When we wake up that we need it to stay up
You know I like it... I've always been a junkie for fame
Are we just junkies for fame?
Get rich, get high, get drunk on your desire
Stand back, relax, now watch me start a fire
I don't think they take me serious
Normal life makes me delirious
Ever think you changing your name?
For all the attention you could gain...
Has anybody told you you're vain?
Bow down, bow down
The sinners have the floor
Are we just junkies for fame?
Because it's burned in our brains
When we wake up that we need it to stay up
You know I like it... I've always been a junkie for fame
Are we just junkies for fame?
Why?... Why?
Ever think of changing your name?
So everyone will think you're a saint
Anybody told you you ain't?
Bow down, bow down
The sinners want some more
Are we just junkies for fame?
Because it's burned in our brains when we wake up
That we need it to stay up
You know I like it... I've always been a junkie for fame
Are we just junkies for fame?
Because it's burned in our brains when we wake up
That we need it to stay up
You know I like it... I've always been a junkie for fame
Are we just junkies for fame?
Are we just junkies for fame?
Are we just junkies for fame?
(by John Lennon & Yoko Ono)
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The war is so long
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so happy Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
Settle down
Stop trying so hard
Push back what you think is impossible
Your only undecided because you choose to be
Settle down
Don't take it personal
Rearrange how you see things
You're only undecided because you were told to be
(Because you were told to be)
Go ahead and find yourself
Undeniably different
Go ahead and clear the way
Your only thought is persistence
(Your only thought is persistence)
Take your time
Stop thinking so much
Always searchin for answers
Your only uninspired because you chose to be
Take your time
Don't try and force it out
Your opinions can sometimes be self doubt
Your only uninspired because of what you've seen
(Because of what you've seen)
Go ahead and find yourself
Undeniably different
Go ahead and clear the way
Your only thought is persistence
Go ahead and find yourself
Undeniably different
Go ahead and clear the way
Your only thought is persistence
(Your only thought is persistence)
And maybe its not your fault at all
Anyone can make mistakes
But can all wrongs be erased
(Your only thought is persistence)
Go ahead and find yourself
Undeniably different
Go ahead and clear the way
Your only thought is persistence
(Your only thought is persistence)
A little more than life's been wasted
Since you went away, nothing's changed
We stick together, it won't last forever
So why is there so much pain?
I can't explain
This war I fought without you
It's all in my head, well step aside
And succumb
The last time was free, yeah
[Chorus]
Give the times, it's never gonna change
I've made up my mind, I still feel the same
Release me from a life of the pain
Shine down your light on me
One million
Short of a billion
I can't speak if you won't listen
There's no-one, no way I'm falling down without you here
Lift off the stain I wear and graph this state of mind
[Chorus]
Give up cause my mind is made
I can't feel the same
If there ain't nothing changed
