this is a story about a boy
he's nine years old his name is tom
when he dreams he drifts away
he dreams about the seven seas
pirates and the big brown ships
when he wakes up from that dream
he knows it's ok
he knows it's alright
just to go away
and fly away far away
when he wakes up from that dream
he's always sad 'cause he wants to go back
back to the world where he belongs
flying high above the world
chasing stars take a break on mars
you were drunk that night and couldn't walk
but you sure as hell could talk
it all came out without a thought
bet you thought that i'd forget
but i remember what you said
it's imbedded in my head
get away from me
don't come back
it's over now there's no way out
so please don't shout
the words you said have made your bed
so save your breath
i'm so happy now you're finally gone
how could i have been so wrong
how do you like it alone
i felt a little sad the day you packed your bags
but now you're gone and all i feel right now is glad
you'll be out my life once and for all
you're two faced you liar
When the sun goes down
and the day is done for her
the TV is on and she is broken
she dreams about this song
she once heard on the radio
about a beautiful princess
Her love has gone away
and sheÂ's still on her own
The guy who promised her a good life
is finally gone
Like a fish that can not swim
like a bird that can not fly
like a dog without a bone
princess without a crown
Next morning she woke up
still had her working clothes on
her eyes are sleepy and still tired
she packed her bags drove down to hollywood
she was the only one i had
she understood when i felt sad
she had brown hair and loved the sun
she had a dad who thought iÂ'm wrong
but today he hit my dog
so my daddy took a frog
and threw it in his face
today when i came home from school
my mom was in the bed but not alone
there was this stupid ugly guy
who hit my dog 1,2,3 times
but today he killed my cat
so i took the cadillac
This is not for real
this is just a dream
and itÂ's something
i have never seen
stars up in the sky
see them as i fly
i wake up get kicked by reality
I canÂ't take no more
what am i working for
i donÂ't believe the world lies at my feet
nothingÂ's ever right
and i donÂ't want to fight
iÂ'm on my own
I canÂ't see it i donÂ't want no more
iÂ'm gonna leave wanna walk straight out that door
start a new life leave this far behind
turning back again will never cross my mind
IÂ'm on a train to rome
iÂ'm feeling quite alone
miss my friends i miss my family
left two days ago
time goes by so slow
and everythingÂ's the same as it was before
now everythingÂ's gone wrong
donÂ't know where i belong
i donÂ't believe the world lies at my feet
now i know itÂ's right
and i want to fight
got myself
now i know what
home sweet home means
the wheels are turning
and we're on our way back home
two weeks of rock'n'roll
been fun but now we're done
a broken knee
too much beer and not much sleep
the coffee's way too weak
this is us living all our dreams
can't wait to hit the road again
can't wait to see you then
every show we played
we always did our best
had the greatest time
but now we need some rest
got to where we are today
in six years we're here to stay
wouldn't want it any other way
broken strings
not much air and too much heat
close the door
bring your faith
take my hand
and give me
one last chance to say
sorry for those times i made you cry
sorry for the thousand times i lied
last time we went to canada
and i missed your birthday didn't call
i'm sorry about that girl
all those endless sleepless nights you spent
all alone and wondering where i am
where i am and why
i know you're the only one who would
do this for me believe in me
and you know i'm really gonna try
i'm trying
just wait and bring your faith for one last time
and i swear i'll make you mine
don't hang the phone up like last time
last year when we split up for just six months
maybe i had to realise needed time
i know that i really want you
cannot be without you
for just one day
i need you to feed me
with your temptation your frustration
and you know i'm really trying
hold on to what we've got
and forget what i said
ItÂ's getting cold outside
the snow falls to the ground
and no one makes a sound
sitting here alone
and i know youÂ're never coming back
now youÂ're finally gone
we used to sit right here
talking about our future and our dreams
but now theyÂ're so unreal
Is this the end of a dream
is this a joke or is it real
you told me you will never go
My brain is messed up
i canÂ't think and i canÂ't move my feet
i know that you hate me 'cause you didn't wanna tolerate
that you were responsible but i don't give a single shit
this time i dedicate this song to you
'cause i think the time has come
to say fuck off i'm going on
i'm sure that you're not feeling bad
after all the shit that you have said
although i'm scared you're still my dad
over your game is over
so stop pretending everything's ok
over your game is over now
i'm not your fucking toy
i tried to get over those nights
you came home drunk hate in your eyes
but now you have to pay the price
i'm sick and tired of your shit
so stand your man now and admit
HeÂ'd like to go where nobody goes
to a place no one knows
hide away for sometime
walk the beach walk the streets maybe dine
get up in the morning and see the sun
say hello to everyone
have a swim have a drink and then dance the night away
But for now heÂ's working at a dump
spends his days collecting peoples junk
but not for long
All he needs now is the fare
thatÂ'll get him there
and he can sit on a plane for hours
eat food straight out of the tin
throw up on the man sat next to him
and sleep through the movie
She wants to spend her days in the smog
had enough of the green grass
breathe some dirt, breathe some fumes
and the perfume in the air
she wants to live on the 25th floor
in a house with one more door
get up see the sun
and not speak to anyone
But for now sheÂ's helping on the farm
milking cows and cleaning up the barn
but not for long
All she needs now is the fare
thatÂ'll get her there
and she can sit on a plane for hours
read a boring magazine
have a few free drinks
try to save yourself
from all the things you really hate
but it's too late
they're all around you
getting closer every single day
there's no escape
all the doors are closed
cannot find the strength
used it up
now it's all gone
where will you go
you just don't know
you're hiding here
you're going down
you hear the sound
it's spinning round
you're falling fast
you'll never last
now you're on your own
'cause all your friends have given up
you're too much
you think about how much you suck
now your sanity is fucked
nothing left to save
thought you hated them
now they hate you back
one by one
At night when everyone's in bed
I get my bike out of the shed
Ride down the hill head for the city
It's my favorite place to go
Don't think anybody knows
How good the world is while they're sleeping
So many lights but it's so silent
Got the streets all to myself
This is what i do
Down by the lake i take a break
Then up along the main street
Buildings so tall they'll never fall
Feel safe when hey're around me
I've known this city all my life
Cut through the backstreets like a knife
We are here to tell you
that we don`t care about
the world the pain frustration or the whole damn human race
weÂ're not a bunch of creep
trying to sell you lies
weÂ're just another punkrockband
i hope youÂ're satisfied
We wanna thank you
for the money and for the food
we would like to thank all
those people who helped us through
when youÂ're feeling down again
and your world has stopped spinning
then try to think of all the times we had
And we wonÂ't forget to say sorry
about the cash
we messed up at our concerts
it will never happen again
especially those guys from leech
they are pretty cool
all the bands weÂ've played with
We wanna thank you
for the money and for the food
and weÂ'd like to thank you
for paying for this cd
when youÂ're feeling down again
and your world has stopped spinning
YouÂ're waiting for the day
when you are free again
counting every second of every minute
but youÂ've got two more years to live here
in this cell inthe city jail of nowhere
counting every hour of the day
lying in your cell and you pray
you killed her her house one night
as she came home from work
you didnÂ't even know her name
she was a sweet and innocent young pretty girl
and you killed her just for fun
ItÂ's getting dark outside
youÂ're tired so you lay
your head down on your pillow
close your eyes and try to sleep
every night you dream the same dream
dream about the girl and her screams
see her pretty face and her shining hair
she had so many dreams and plans
you killed her in her house one night
when the light was alright
and no one could here her scream
she was a sweet and innocent young pretty girl
Now i donÂ't believe
the things that you tell me right now
and i donÂ't wanna hear
that you have to do what i feel
i spent my life trying to find a perfect girl
and i thought that i had
someone to hold, someone to talk, someone to fight
but now i see that you are not that cool
So go away and please shut the door and die
then i can live my life in peace and harmony Â'til i die
Two days have gone by
i wake up and feel fucking great
Â'cause i donÂ't have to
share my bed with you
i get the paper and i make some coffee too
and step back in my room
i read the headline and i canÂ't believe my eyes
it says that a big tank rolled over your face
Now you are flat like an unblownup airbed
hold your breath just for a while
and listen to what i have to say
but i guess it makes no sense
to try to tell you what i think
because your statements are so stupid
and they make no sense at all
you say we're just a bunch of assholes
trying to be involved in your cool scene
so i'm asking you now my friend
are you really sure that you are mr.know-it-all
leading member of the clan
you're standing tall but you will fall
pick up your stuff you better run
because we're coming after you
and this is what we're going to do
set your house on fire
chase you around the block
until you're on your knees
take your stupid cellphone
and shove it up your ass
now try to call your friends
you saw us play a support show
now you really think we suck
because we didn't rock
so i'm asking you now my friend
cause i'm really wondering
where were you six years ago
when we played our first small show
you were at home still playing tunes
of tina turner springsteen bruce
so don't teach me your punkrock rules
'cause this is what i'll do to you
what did you do six years ago
It's friday night and he's going out
Drinks 2 beers and leaves the house
Starts the car and drives downtown
Picks his friends up on the way
After a long hardworking day
They're pleased it's over
They all want to forget about work
And sooner or later they will
It all depends on how much they drink
There might be a fight, another fight tonight
Broken bottles everywhere
Watch your back he's got a chair
They all run riot
No weapons anywere
Just fistfighting, but beware
They all run riot
The bar's a wreck, but they need
More another fight, 'cause life's a bore
Get in the car and get out there
Drinking beer along the way
Heading straight out of the bay
That's where the fights are
Everyone out there is ready to fight
They're angry and ready to go
It doesn't matter who's side you're on
it's late at night and i'm drunk again
i think about the times we spent
i thought you were the only one
but now i'm glad that you are gone
i remember days you hated me
i remember nights when you were weak
i remember times but now i see
in the end i treated you like shit
so the time has come to finally quit
so here i sit
my glass is almost empty now
i'm watching all the nice girls in the crowd
but i don't care
so i swear i'll never come back
and i'm sure you're feeling better on your own
by the way your friends are stupid
'cause they told me that you'd never ever stay
with a guy like me
so i finally found my way back home
and it feels so good to be alone
i'm on my own
in the end i treated you like shit
so the time has come to finally quit
so here i sit
i know it's hard to get over this
so please forgive
and please try to understand
i'm still your friend
sat around and counting seconds i'm
sick and tired of everything
think i might be going insane
'cause i'm bored out of my brain
i'ts like this everyday
things will never change
so don't call and ask me how i am
'cause you know my answer stays the same
read this magazine a thousand times
you'll never know how bored i really am
sit around look out the window
now there's nothing left to say
it doesn't matter anyway
'cause i'm bored out of my brain
don't mean to complain
but everyday's the same
sit around look out the window
watch the crazy people play
This is what we live for
This is what we do
So here we are now
We're here to stay
Waited a long time
To get this far
Not giving up now
So here we are
All over the nation playing
Just for you
So let the show begin
Go here we go
Go turn on your radio
Go here we go
Go to blow your brain away
It's getting hot here
To hot to breathe
That's how we like it
So you think itÂ's right
lurking through the night
taking peoples lives
the other side of you
tells you what to do
pull that trigger now
kill them here and kill them there
you are the one you hold the gun
itÂ's all said and done
youÂ're not the only one
itÂ's something in your head
now you know youÂ're wrong
singing your own song
they say life is hard i'll
be ok i'll be alright
if you stay by my side
don't you ever doubt me
you can always count on me
i would not lie to you
all for you
things i do
all ok
if you stay
whenever i'm with you
even if i'm low
you make me smile and i'm alright
whenever i'm far away
i think about you every day
there's not much more i can say
and i'd never find
anyone like you again in my life
and please don't ever leave
i know we can make it through anything
out of the darkness into the light
i know we can make it in this life
everybody likes to say
that nothing lasts forever
now i know it can we're together
He was an alright boy
used to be so nice
until he turned the radio on
he was only 15
when he wrote his first song
now his life had just begun
All he wants right now is
to go out with friends
drink and play all night
he knows his lifeÂ's a party
itÂ's not gonna end now
thatÂ's when he feels alright
all he sees now is a blur
Now heÂ's 25 and
playing in a band
recking bars around the world
heÂ's got alot of fans now
and he donÂ't care about that
but he likes the pretty girls
HeÂ's an old man now but
he donÂ't want to change
still believes in all those things
he did when he was young
still a rock n roll rebell
twenty years of trying to forget
trying not to cry
as the longest days go by
she remembers how they used to be
what did he go through
she never ever really knew
in her dreams he comes to life
telling her she'll be alright
like he did before he went away
i leave tonight
you'll be alright
you'll be alright
it's not goodbye
please don't cry
i'll be alright
after that she lived in fear for him
till the day she heard
the soldiers would return
always tried hard to get over him
he said it's not goodbye
all this time
in her head he always stayed alive
everyday she makes herself look nice for him
she still thinks one day
he will return to her from far away
if he doesn't she knows one day
she'll join him
she can't forget
the words he said
before he left
Now itÂ's up to you
to tell me what to do
never thought youÂ'd be the one
to drop me in this mess
to leave me in distress
my sanity is in your hands
ThereÂ's a part of me that cries for you
canÂ't stand up to you, make me feel so shy
my head is numb thereÂ's nothing i can do
right now i want to scream just breakdown
and cry/die
Almost every night
i turn on the light
i realize youÂ're not here
itÂ's easy to forget
havenÂ't felt that yet
Sunrise in the city
Our soldiers are coming home
After 7 years of blablabla
She's waiting by the docks
With a picture in her hands
Of her one and only love
Others are still waiting
While families reunite
With the ones they missed so much
She's still standing alone
Now everyone else has gone home
A soldier walks up to her
with a picture of her in his hand
He said, sorry about your man
No one could have saved him
Sorry to say he isn't coming home
Numbness fills her body, weekening her knees
She wants to run away
Memories come alive, of how it used to be
Before he went away
So many things on her mind,
so many things she wants to know
did he miss me when he was alive
did he suffer or did he just go
he said lady he missed you and
said he'll always love you
sorry to say he isn't coming home
you should be proud he died a man
fighting for his country
sorry to say he isn't coming home
She's still on her own
Tells herself she should have known
That some soldiers fall in war
And don't come home
Now it's time to say goodbye
Trying so hard not to cry
Hoping that some day
Mommys little girl ran away from home
spent 150 bucks on the cheapest car in town
got some cigarettes and she checked the liquor store
got something to eat and hit the floor
One night she joined this club and met this guy named jim
he asked for her name she said k-lynn
Spent the night together then she bought a baseball bat
went back to his house to kill the fucking jerk
took all of his money and she grabbed something to eat
walked right out the door to go and hit the street
One night she joined this club and met this guy named bill
he asked for her name she said k-lynn
WonÂ't you come to the other side she said
Is something wrong out of lines to keep the rats distracted,
a hollow shell, habit trail, symptoms of getting older
But I'm not searching for the answers,
I know there are no answers here so I'm letting it go
And on we roll, through the stars
and slowly we're learning we've all been patrons for too long
So turn your head look away, and Hollywood's burning,
but I've got a part in the last scene, they saved it just for me
A shot rings out but no one cares citizens keep their distance
while the politics of self control
Massage our cruel temptations,
but I'm not searching for redemption I know I'm lost in confusion here
And I'm letting it go, yet on we roll through the stars and slowly we're learning we've all been
patient for too long
So turn your heads, look away and Hollywood's burning,
but I've got a part in the last scene they saved it just for me
How's it my heart couldn't stand up to your gods,
couldn't reach enlightenment, couldn't touch the sky
Why have we got this all wrong, white and blue collar clones, we're hardly alone
When we walk the same and talk the same and I would give you anything but you're asking too much from me
And carelessly you're slowly hailing to the thieves of our system down
no one made a sound
And on it rolls the title track, slowly we're learning,
we've all been victims for too long
So turn your heads look away and Washington's burning,
but I've got a part in the yeah I've got a part
Lie awake completely satisfied and let the sweat run through my hair
Well, I haven't felt this way in quite some time, when I look over your not there
Pain I won't let you slip away, no everybody makes mistakes sometimes
Everyone here knows this is killing me
It tears the soul straight from my spine, but in the end I guess the truth is shown
That you won't ever really be mine
I shuffled through the lies and
Pain I won't let you slip away, no everybody makes mistakes sometimes
So rain on my parade, rain on my parade, rain
I figured it out this time and I guess that's a start
You're only half as smart as the one that tears you apart
Let the evidence show that I never really had a case
I'd like to wipe that smile right off your fucking face
Feel the tears run down so I guess I lost control
Everybody knows something I ain't ever gonna know
And if this wound ever heals maybe I'll sleep again
Somebody please kill me before I am dead
Lie awake completely satisfied and let the sweat run through my hair
Well I haven't felt this way in quite some time, when I look over your not there
Pain I won't let you slip away, no everybody makes mistakes
Now rain on my parade, rain on my parade rain
I won't let you, I won't let you make mistakes, make mistakes
I won't let you slip away cause everybody makes mistakes
Focusing myself, finding clues in you and everyone else, we're hearts on a shelf
Believing that we're saved
sometimes these things aren't really supposed to work out this way
What can you say
when finally there's no time like the moment to shine right through
I'm starting to understand what they mean when they say this is going to hurt
I am still laughing at myself suspicious visions blame it all on somebody else cause I can't be held
Responsible for fate,
write down these words I can't understand what I create it may be too late
When finally there's no time like the moment to shine right through
I'm starting to understand
What they mean when they say this is going to hurt,
so if I'm asking the wrong questions
Could you point me the right way?
Because what I've been searching for is something real, well defined
With a Buddhas heart and Nostradamus's thorn in my side
let the feelings come to light
In the sound it's our life, we can keep it up all night and day,
sideways endlessly through and out
Round and round and round and round
till finally there's no time like the moment to shine right through
I'm starting to understand
The worst is yet to come, so vulnerable and dumb say the words and I'll dissolve
Tell me how long should this last I've been forgetting how to act and
These memories will burn like gasoline
And I believe there's something more cause this isn't what I've been looking for
If I blink my eyes I'm afraid I might miss some of it
This makes no sense a mirage of an oasis but it kills my time
Well try to remember what I sought, I never gave it that much thought
Does it really matter at all, cause there really is no time for opening up my eyes
Cause you know that I have seen it all before
And I believe there's something more cause this isn't what I've been looking for
If I blink my eyes I'm afraid I might miss some of it
This makes no sense a mirage of an oasis but it kills my time
Well I wish I could always feel this good, I wish that I could always feel this way,
Wish I could always feel this good, wish that I could always know what's out there
Cause I believe there's something more, cause this isn't what I've been looking for
If I blink my eyes I'm afraid I might miss some of it this
This makes no sense a mirage of an oasis but it kills my time
I wish I could always feel this good, I wish that I could always feel this way,
I wish I could always feel this good, wish that I could be imitating the screen imitating the
Always feeling so uncomfortable, and the situation tends to be predictable
Hope slips through trained fingers, It's how it's always been
I can't seem to tear myself away, been living in the past with my mistakes
But I always find a way to numb the tension, bury thoughts alone
Under the skin to hide the damage done to my defense
Senses dulled then cracked, I concede that maybe
I'm unsure of just what it takes to frustrate and dismantle apathy
Rain, wash away the temptations before I let them get the best of me
Yesterday's accomplishments, replaced by tomorrow's burdens
A never ending cycle begins, so diseased and looking for a means to an end
I found nothings solid anymore, all that's left is try and I confess that maybe
I'm unsure of just what it takes to frustrate and dismantle apathy
Rain, wash away the temptations before I let them get the best of me
Designed and developed inside of my lungs, on the tip of my fucking tongue
But no one ever gets the point
That life is always about to fall to pieces, just something beautiful that's about to get
wrecked
But no one wants to feel at all
Because we've made ourselves so numb, but I want to feel something
I won't ever live that way again, somewhere along the line I lost feeling
And I lost control, But then I lost strength and completely lost hope
When our lives are consumed by society's fumes,
We punch our time clocks and watch the ignorance bloom
And how strange that we all feel the same, and how strange that no one dares complain
See I'm always turning backwards and forwards again retracing my steps to the bitter cold end
Rewind the tape and let me see exactly where it went wrong, indulge in our pasts strong
And how strange that we all feel the same, and how strange that no one complains
Designed and developed inside of my lungs on the tip of my fucking tongue
But no one ever gets the point
That life is always about to fall to pieces something beautiful that's about to get wrecked
But no one wants to feel at all
Citizens of a starless sky have stolen the sun and held it for ransom,
an endless greed unsatisfied
Can see the blood on their hands does more than just feed them,
it's there for a reason because for all we know
All this is just a dream, things are not exactly as they seem,
save time to sit back and have a drink
Another man might just believe what he's told,
I'm on my way to being bought and sold, can't wait to measure
My blood out in gold and platinum sales, so drink the ocean(wine), drink it down
The past is far gone replaced by this moment,
we're shadows of ourselves confined to shelves with nothing left to say
Content to fade away and for all we know,
all this is just a dream things are not exactly as they seem
Save time to sit back and have a drink,
forgetting is easy without any soul with each empty promise it keeps getting old
Learning to measure my blood out in gold and platinum sales,
or have I just failed, lost sight of the trail
If all this is just a dream things might not be quite as bad as they seem,
I'd probably sit back and have a drink
Another man might just believe what he's told,
but I'm on my way to being bought and sold
I don't want to feel this way, I don't want to pretend that these feelings don't
exist
But I'm aware, yet so afraid I'll make mistakes I'll always regret,
And by the way, would it be O.K., if we went our separate ways, just to see
I don't want to hide the truth, but I can see you through jaded eyes my faded broken gaze
It strays away, and I am afraid that I'll make mistakes I'll always regret
And by the way, would it be O.K., if we went our separate ways
Cause I can't breathe
Sometimes I think that these chains can be broken
And I can see your eyes, your lying through your teeth and I'm aware, this isn't fair
And by the way, would it be O.K., if we went our separate ways
To see if in time the shades are drawn back again
The light reflects upon what might have been
Cozy in this home, burnt up swollen pains
Fear is on the plate but you can't recognize the danger that you've gotten yourself in
Do as I'm told not for long
But on the mattress, I had a good time
I can't remember she wore the same brands as everyone else
That's why I don't mind if she deciphers the lines
Welcome to the despair, this is my trophy room
And fear is on the plate but you can't recognize the anger as it builds beneath the skin
Cause it's fucking mine
But on the mattress, I had a good time
I can't remember, the wore the same brands as everyone else
That's why I don't mind, if she deciphers the lines
I guess it's alright to be scared because fear has a funny way of killing me slowly but
I know you too well, to expect the truth wouldn't fall apart
I might as well lie to myself, on top of my fucking lungs, my fucking lungs
Tear to pieces everything you've ever known bout this world
Your preconceived notions conceited emotions will never see the light of day and
Of all the things we're distanced from, who'd of thought it'd be ourselves
Trial by fire, to find out the hard way,
what it's like without you, even my best intentions go astray
If passion can drive us home,
guided by voices in our heads can't make sense of this
So never repeat a word of what was said, you, there's nothing quite like you, nothing quite like you
We could be one in the same, when we can't even get the words right
I've made my decisions here and now
And I'll burn my lungs apart till you just fall silent,
and to top it all we can do nothing at all
Till even my best intentions cause you pain, I know I won't last with you,
cause there's nothing quite like you
Nothing quite like you,
we could be one in the same when we can't even get the words right,
I've made my decisions
Here and now, why don't I listen to my fears,
I'm hiding in signs and hopes that won't fade, we'll figure it out somehow
Someday if I can I 'll write till you are out of my side,
I'll drive if you can't hardly wait to fall back into my arms
We could be one in the same when we can't even get the words right,
I've made my decisions here and now
Why don't I listen to my fears, I'm shedding the signs and hopes that won't fade, we'll figure out
somehow, someday
Am I lying to myself when everyone else here sees right through me
and all the products they've sold me
I let them own me now don't I feel like such a man,
but I'll hide my guilt and no regrets
Smoke a thousand cigarettes and slowly tear myself apart until
suddenly I'm in the middle of the part I love
There's no rest for these feelings and I have had enough time to think
There are several different ways to waste our time here,
mine will be the one that digs my grave
But anyway I can see for miles and miles,
troubled are the few who reach for the stars
And I don't even know where the hell we are,
but honestly I'm starting to think that I'm lost
Like suddenly I'm in the middle of the part I love,
there's no rest for these feelings and I have had enough time to think
So don't shoot me full of your lies, I know the profit song,
it moves the bones till round and round we go
Can cite examples why I'm right, I don't look the same,
I can barely tell myself apart, like suddenly I'm in
The middle of the part I love, there's no rest for these feelings,
and I think that enough is enough
So don't tell me the same stories, I've heard them all before,
there's no telling what you're selling
But I don't want it anymore, you think you've got it all,
Now I'm standing on my own again,
what a feeling to let go of something blood from the vein
Keeps me captive here and ashamed,
I'm on the wire losing sight of what I once truly desired
And I don't know, why I even try when my sheltered heart lives a lie
Now I'm dancing on my own two feet,
what a feeling, to be let down denied the controls
All the tension has taken it's toll,
I, I'm on fire losing sight of what I once truly deserved
And I don't know why I even try when my sheltered heart lives a lie,
I'm living a lie, I'm leaving your lives
Hide from the clones all the sentences have gone cold, talk it gets cheap,
turn the volume down
And laugh yourself to sleep and I don't know why I even try
when my sheltered heart lives a lie
Stained and afraid that this won't ever go away
Engulfed inside a blaze of memories
And the strain of digging holes, is beginning to take it's toll
And I saw this coming, when you started running over my dreams but isn't it funny
It eats at me slowly and I found redemption in suffering
And it's just like you to say, I'd be better off without you anyway
Now I'm stumbling through my words and it's all your fault, so feel guilty
Stained and looking for a way out of this mess
The feelings and the truth are hard to confess
But you've seen the cycle round now I guess you had me figured out
So you watched me suffer, it inched it's way slowly under my skin
But I saw this coming, when you started running
Now it seems sensible to burn the bridge
And it's just like you to say, that it's better when you have things your own way
Now I'm stumbling through my words and it's all your fault
For what it's worth, I never felt that much
an unresolved waste of time a lesson never learned
Wanted to forget it, but it's hard when you've been burned,
a matter of time till your lost insides
Are reassured to start indulging like there's nothing left behind your pretty face and it's all that
you've got now
No it wasn't much, it was nothing but it left you wanting more,
and it's all that you've got now
Can sometimes get lost in the feelings that don't exist,
addiction is a cancer and a means to justify
An empty life of running from the friends you've left behind,
just a matter of time till your dark insides
Are reassured to start indulging like there's nothing left to hide your pretty face and it's all that
you've got now
No it wasn't much it was nothing but it left you wanting more
and it's all that you've got now
The mechanics of guilty eyes, being tempted is in our make up,
when indulgences collide
Come and sleep with me tonight, when it's all that you've got now,
but it wasn't much it was nothing
I'm less than nothing and holding my nerves
Exposed and lonely, addiction draws me near
Designed to crush me a six year haze as the substance lets me down
Cause it's not real and that's why
It's how I always want to feel so let's die before the secrets get revealed
I'm falling over from scratches built through time
For timeless mistakes, my memories dissolve and all I know are these scars
And it's not real and that's why
It's how I always want to feel so let's die, before the secrets get revealed
I've tried but nothing can ever appeal and if you don't mind I'd like to throw it all away
Well I've been down that road, the sober soldier
I doubt I'll make it home so get me away from here, before I fall apart
Cause it's easy to do and it feels and it seems true
But it's not real and that's why
Its how I always want to feel so let's die, before the secret gets revealed
The kid next door is defective, the trees are rotting and bending to the ground
Watch the un-tainted innocence, collapse into lewd misfortunes
And I swear, but the truth feels so empty
And I run, but there's darkness everywhere
Paralyzed you can't see
Paranoid you can't sleep
Through the lies that surround you
Paralyzed you can't breath
Paranoid you can't sleep
Through the lies that surround you
I'm at least half a mile away, but much further than I thought I would be
To finding my way out of this hole, but the darkness here is so soothing
And I swear but the truth gets me nowhere
And I run but there's darkness everywhere
Paranoid you can't sleep
Paralyzed you can't see
Through the lies that surround you
Paranoid you can't sleep
Paralyzed you can't see
Through the lies that surround you
Substance seals leaks in you, damaged ship so we sink right
Before my eyes but it's putting out the fire well
Carnage lights up the sky but it's just as well
No one's fine sinking into the darkness it's no surprise
Paranoid you can't sleep
Paralyzed you can't see
Through the lies that surround you
Paranoid you can't sleep
Paralyzed you can't see
Through the lies that surround you
What you can't see is your disease, is everything its everything and you
Careless whispers drifting by the ears,
trust in no one, silence broken by careless whispers
You've got a lot to say, but I'm not listening,
and I've got a lot to say, that your ears are not hearing
Back and forth how much time can we waste? Hold your tongue and swallow hard,
How much more can we take? So who are you? Who am I? Who are you?
What have we become?
Careless whispers drifting by the ears,
trust in no one, silence broken by careless whispers
You've got a lot to learn, so are you listening now, now?, now?
now the word is out
It's written on everyone's face, hold your tongue and swallow hard
so how does the truth taste
Is someone there, I can hear you breathing
I know your out there I can hear you breathing wrong way
With all my heart with all my soul you'll stay who could complain when
If all this goes as planned I know, you'll stay with me
Sold the instructions to their souls, as they bask in the material world
So many things that I would like to change and
I am bending over backwards and it's just like everyone tries so hard to stay
At least about an arms length away, don't you remember what you wanted anymore
I know I stayed young
So there's haunting in your soul and at least as far anyone here knows
So many things that you would like to change but try bending over backwards
Well, it's just like everyone tries so hard to stay at least about an arms length away
Don't you remember what you wanted anymore
I know I stayed young
Educated masses play the slaves and you might be better off to suffocate the stage then
You would see perception is your disease and
I know by the look in your eyes that your shoving something down
Where it won't be found
When it's just like everyone tries so hard to stay
At least about an arms length away, don't you remember what you wanted anymore
It seems like you've always known exactly what to say,
meanwhile I never know what to do with myself
When I get this way I'm walking on take comfort in all the nights we've shared,
I guess I'm walking on
Because there's nothing left inside of me that cares,
I'm sorry that I can't deny, the feelings that I've put aside
I've wasted my time for so long,
so tell how could this go up in flames when I've been awaiting
The return of blood,
it seems like you've always known things would turn out this way,
sometimes you never know
What can happen on any given day,
Sustaining life is meaningless, complacent hearts collapse in stride
We cannot know, we cannot call out for help, out for a way in and
I forget just why I lay here, to rise and bleed and die in fall
Preserving fear, deserving fear, the satellite, the satellite collapses hard
Controls my friends
The weather man predicts the end and I forget just why I lay here emotionless
To rise and bleed and die in fall
And I need to push you so far away
Cause I want to do to you what I have always longed to do
Cause it's been so long since we spoke and I keep pushing away but you knew exactly
Who I wanted you to be, Lazurus born from a stain, lie down and take the truth is ugly
Such a waste of energy and such a waste of time your such a waste and
VERSE 1
Wake up in the morning
Or maybe late at night
Button up your suit
Strap your leather tight
Choking on the memories
Oh what you did last night
Lurk in the darkness
Live in the light
CHORUS 1
I look in your eyes
They are so cold
The monster is here
In your seminary
With bloodshot eyes
And an evil grin
Reincarnate
Your hidden sin
VERSE 2
People let you inside
Because they trust you
Show them just a little
And they will see right through
Never really knowing
what you will put them through
Slip inside
Release your lies
CHORUS 2
I look in your eyes
They are so cold
The monster is here
In your seminary
With bloodshot eyes
And an evil grin
Reincarnate
Your hidden sin
CHORUS 3
I look in your eyes
They are so cold
The monster is here
In your seminary
With bloodshot eyes
And an evil grin
Reincarnate
