They made a pact for life.
12 reasons to live. 12 reasons to die.
New Year's Day is a 2001 comedy-drama film starring Andrew Lee Potts, Bobby Barry, Jacqueline Bisset, Anastasia Hille, Michael Kitchen, Sue Johnston, Ralph Brown and Marianne Jean-Baptiste. It was written by Ralph Brown and directed by Suri Krishnamma.
The film follows two teenagers, Jake (Potts) and Steve (Barry) as they cope with life after being the sole survivors of an avalanche. Their teacher also survives the accident, but remains comatose and dies soon after the start of the film. The two boys make a suicide pact agreeing that on the one year anniversary of the avalanche, they will kill themselves. The two spend their last year living life to the fullest. This takes the form of a list of "tasks", which they both must fulfill before dying.
The movie's screenplay is written by Brown, and deals with themes such as the generation gap, the conflicts that surround today's youngsters, suicide, crossing boundaries and how people are affected by tragedy. Brown has spoken of New Year's Day being prompted by the killing of James Bulger, in the sense of a storyline concerning two young people who are surrounded by grown-ups who have no idea about what they are doing.
Yeah...
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few

And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
I...I will begin again
I...I will begin again
Oh...
Maybe the time is right
Oh...maybe tonight...
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day

You're a senior double major
You got such big ideas
We were searching for a savior
To guide us through those restless years
If only I could steal you away
From those paths we were led astray
I would take back all those things I said
That new year's day
If only I could make you see
That all those dreams belonged to me
I'd take back all those things I said
That new year's day
The October autumn twilight
The chilling of our breath
I had dreams I've found redemption
And a past full of regret
And the clouds on the horizon
Look like a thousand paper cranes
And I heard your voice
But couldn't scream your name
If only I could steal you away
From those paths were led astray
I would take back all those things I said
That new year's day
If only I could make you see
That all those dreams belonged to me
I'd take back all those things I said
That new year's day
So let's drink to forgiveness
Let's drink for regret
Let's drink to the ones we've loved and lost
Let us never forget
The mannequin shields her glowing eyes
We'll all too human, yeah
We're always searching on
Until that gift of isolation has been won
If only I could steal you away
From those paths were led astray
I would take back all those things I said
That new year's day
If only I could make you see
That all those dreams belonged to me
I'm haunting them the way you know you're haunting me
If only I could steal you away
From those paths were led astray
I would take back all those things I said
That new year's day
Written by mullen, evans, clayton, hewson

I sit all dulled in a beautiful yellow haze
Setting my mind on a perpetual holiday
TV set shows may be everything that I need
Guess I'm not gonna get out of bed anytime this week
But I'll be home to new years day
Right now I am far away
But I'll be home to new years day
But I'll be home to new years day
Throw another year away
But I'll be home to new years day
The kids outside on the street playing stupid games
Seems they don't even noticed that the sky's turning
green again
??? behind my eyes is full of crooked lies
But you can yell ok I won't listen to a word you say
But I'll be home to new years day
Right now I am far away
But I'll be home to new years day
But I'll be home to new years day
Throw another year away
But I'll be home to new years day
But I'll be home to new years day
Right now I am far away
But I'll be home to new years day
But I'll be home to new years day
Throw another year away
All is quiet on new years day, A world in white gets underway, And I want to be with you, Be with you night and day. Nothing changes on new years day. I will be with you again. I will be with you again.

Flashes of light, I open my eyes
And feel the spark of a new life
I take a breath for the first time
And you are the reason, my heart is beating
You put the color in my world, yeah, the color in my world
I've never felt so alive, alive, like a brand new sunrise
Dark has turned to light and I will celebrate
All my wrongs made right, everything has changed
My sins have been erased and it feels like New Years day
It feels like New Years day
So don't let me forget everything that You've done
Even though it's in my nature
I never wanna become the creature of habit, no
'Cause life's gonna get its hands on me
I know troubles gonna call my name
But You'll be standing there trying to remind me that
Dark has turned to light and I will celebrate
All my wrongs made right, everything has changed
My sins have been erased and it feels like New Years day
Yeah, it feels like New Years day
Dark has turned to light and I will celebrate
All my wrongs made right, everything has changed
My sins have been erased, yeah, everything has changed
My sins have been erased and it feels like New Years day
It feels like New Years day
It feels like New Years day
I buy a lot of diaries
Fill them full of good intentions
Each and every New Year's Eve
I make myself a list
All the things I'm gonna change
Until January 2nd
So this time I'm making one promise
Chorus:
This will be my resolution
Every day is New Year's Day
This will be my resolution
Every day is New Year's Day
I believe it's possible
I believe in new beginnings
'Cause I believe in Christmas Day
And Easter morning too
And I'm convinced it's doable
'Cause I believe in second chances
Just the way that I believe in you
Chorus:
This will be my resolution
Every day is New Year's Day
This could start a revolution
Every day is...
One more chance to start all over
One more chance to change and grow
One more chance to grab a hold of grace
And never let it go
Chorus:
This will be my resolution
Every day is New Year's Day
This will be my resolution
Even if we all fall flat this year we'll get up and persevere
Even if we all fall flat this year we'll get up and persevere
Honey, I ain't proud of the things I've done
Or the way that I've treated you
But history just repeats itself and these are the things I do
I put the knife in my own heart
I put the knife in my own heart
It was always me.
It was me right from the start
Even if we all fall flat this year we'll get up and persevere
Even if we all fall flat this year we'll get up and persevere
And if you should fall a bit behind
I'll carry you on. I'll carry you on from there
An idle mind ain't no friend of mine
And the bottle's my enemy
The face in the mirror is the face of fear cuz I fear where we'll go from here
I put the knife in my own heart
I put the knife in my own heart
It was always me.
It was me right from the start
Even if we all fall flat this year we'll get up and persevere
Even if we all fall flat this year we'll get up and persevere
And if you should fall a bit behind
I'll carry you on. I'll carry you on from there

Of course not.
Buddy:
I can't stand to see her unhappy
And now she won't be.
Terry:
Everyone benefits.
Buddy:
Hey, why don't you marry Daisy,
Since there's such an obvious connection between you two.
Terry:
What do you mean obvious connection?
Maybe to her way of thinking.
Buddy:
Only hers?
Terry:
Go on, I gotta get some air.
Buddy leaves Terry alone...
All alone
In the darkness of my room
The sunlight bleeding through my blinds
Like an angel's open wound
On the outside (I seem fine)
But on the inside (I'm not alright)
Every decision that I make
Just seems to be my worst mistake
Away, away from everything that hurts
Away from this pain I feel inside
Struggling to bend these lips
Into a smile I'll soon dismiss
My heart is not a place that I call home
I just want to be alone
Still alone
In the darkness of my room
Staring out between my blinds
Watching the daylight be consumed
Like the joy that (I once felt)
Dealing with these (cards I'm dealt)
When they said that life's not fair
They must have seen me sitting here
It's funny how one moment can change everything
And in a second shatter every hope and dream you have
And leave you with an empty feeling you can't seem to fill
And empty space that only time might heal
[Chorus]
Breath in deep and fill this chest with something more, more than emptiness
I've got this beating in my chest, it tells me you're my only
I feel the rhythm in my wrist, it's fading out but slowly
don't let me go
please tell me this could not be
cause I'll fade away
to the last chapter of our story
I'd rather drown in your arms, they're shaking
my hands are cold so hold me tight
I'd rather give you my heart, it's breaking
So won't you give me one last bite
and bring my back to life
bring me back to life
I've got this feeling I'm in love
tonight the dawn is breaking
I feel this racing through my blood
our souls are for the taking
don't let me go
please tell me this could not be
'cause I'll fade away
to the last chapter of our story
I'd rather drown in your arms, they're shaking
my hands are cold so hold me tight
I'd rather give you my heart, it's breaking
So wont you give me one last bite
and bring my back to life
You should have known that you'd be here again
Making the same mistakes
For the same reasons
Not everyone deserves a second chance
Why are you so in love with bittersweet romance?
It's alright
It's ok
I'll still be here when all of this is over
So long
Goodbye
Now just fall asleep
To this lullaby
That i'll sing to
To you every night
I know your world's a mess but everything will be alright
I should have known that you'd be here again
Why do broken hearts hold on to broken friends?
Not everything that's good was meant to last
But if it never was, it never had a chance
(you never had a chance)
[Chorus]
I know your world's a mess but everything will be alright
(now just close your eyes and kiss them all goodbye)
I know your world's a mess but everything will be alright
(so just close your eyes, just close your eyes)
So long
Goodbye
Now just fall asleep
Like you do every night
And when you wake up
I'll still be by your side
I'm sorry that I loved you,
I'm sorry that I cared,
I'm sorry that I played the games you did,
They never got us anywhere.
I'm sorry if this hurts you,
I'm sorry I just lied,
The truth is, I don't care if you get hurt or not,
For all the tears you've made me cry
I should have known we'd never get anywhere,
Can't fall in love when you're falling apart,
Can't make amends if you're only making mistakes,
And empty words can't fix a broken heart
If the world froze over and everybody died,
And you and I were the only ones alive,
I'd say, "I'm sorry you made it, it's more then you
deserve,
Don't try to make it better, you'll only make it worse"
I'm sorry that you miss me,
I'm sorry I don't care,
I was just a crutch for your loneliness,
Your heart was never really there,
I'm sorry that I wasted so much of my time,
Time I could have spent with someone else would have
meant,
Less of you and all your lies.
I should have known we'd never get anywhere,
Can't fall in love when you're falling apart,
Can't make amends if you're only making mistakes,
And empty words can't fix a broken heart
If the world froze over and everybody died,
And you and I were the only ones alive,
I'd say, "I'm sorry you made it, it's more then you
deserve,
Don't try to make it better, you'll only make it worse"
If the world froze over and everybody died,
And you and I were the only ones alive,
I'd say, "I'm sorry you made it, it's more then you
deserve,
Don't try to make it better, you'll only make it worse"
You'll only make it,
You'll only make it worse
If the world froze over,
And only I survived,
I'd sing these words at your funeral,
"It's good to be alive!"
If the world froze over and everybody died,
And you and I were the only ones alive,
I'd say, "I'm sorry you made it, it's more then you
deserve,
Don't try to make it better, you'll only make it worse"
If the world froze over and everybody died,
And you and I were the only ones alive,
I'd say, "I'm sorry you made it, it's more then you
deserve,
Don't try to make it better, you'll only make it worse"
I'd say, "I'm sorry you made it, it's more then you
3:35
Six hours into this drive,
This cup of cold coffee is barely keeping me alive,
And thinking about you is all that I can do... tonight.
Tired eyes please see this through,
I'm staying awake just to sleep with you.
If I'm not there,
When you awake,
Please don't be scared,
Make no mistake,
I'll be home soon,
To sleep with you,
Driving down these endless roads,
My compass is your heart that guides me home.
5:35,
Eight hours into this drive
LA brake lights,
Wink at me like bloodshot eyes,
80 miles still left to go,
80 miles 'till I'm in bed with you... Tonight.
Tired eyes please see this through.
I'm staying awake just to sleep with you.
If I'm not there,
When you awake,
Please don't be scared,
Make no mistake,
I'll be home soon,
To sleep with you,
Driving down these endless roads,
My compass is your heart that guides me home.
Temecula sunrise,
Flooding these half closed eyes,
My windshield's cemetery,
Smeared across a framed orange sky,
I crack a yellow smile,
Next exit 3 more miles,
15,800 and 40 feet till I'm in bed with you
If I'm not there,
When you awake,
Please don't be scared,
Make no mistake,
I'll be home soon,
To sleep with you,
To sleep with you,
If I'm not there,
When you awake,
Please don't be scared,
Make no mistake,
I'll be home soon,
To sleep with you,
Driving down these endless roads,
My compass is your heart that guides me home.
I've got this funny feeling
that I just don't don't belong here
and your eyes make it clear
you're just like a chameleon
you change your skin
for anyone that has the time
to give you there's
but I don't really care
this is me saying goodbye
but not just for tonight
this is the final exit
I should have made so long ago
why did I wait
I've got this funny feeling
that I just don't don't belong here
yeah, your eyes make it so clear
you only have the time
when you're bored
I'm not being selfish
I'm just being ignored
your making a scene, yeah
but the scene's not making me
chorus
why do we wait
when it makes no difference
all the same mistakes
over and over again
chorus
this is me saying goodbye
but not just for tonight
and if you really want to make this right

You know it's all too good to last
If it's not too much to ask
Slow down, slow down, slow down before you crash
Oh, before you crash

You're such a fatal attraction
Your friends are only for fashion
We may last for a while, but we'll go out of style

Slow down, slow down, slow down before you...

Put down your guard disarm, disarm
You think this whole world's against you
It's never your fault, we're the ones with the issues
Crash, crash into my arms

It's never your fault, we're the ones with the issues

Slow down before you

Slow down, slow down, slow down
Razor, razor, razor
Crash, crash into my arms
Put down your guard disarm, disarm
You think this whole world's against you
It's never your fault, we're the ones with the issues
Crash, crash into my arms
Put down your guard oh disarm, disarm
You think this whole world's against you
It's never your fault, we're the ones with the issues
You think this whole world's against you
My dear,
Take what you want from me
I'll give you anything
Just don't leave me on my own
Desperate and destitute
A shadow of the former self I knew. [x2]
Take what you want from me
I'll give you anything
It's so pathetic
I make myself sick
I can't get over you
I can't get over any of this.
My dear,
Is this really happening?
Do these tears mean anything?
How could you leave me on my own?
Desperate and destitute
These seconds feel like lifetimes without you.
Take what you want from me
I'll give you anything
It's so pathetic
I make myself sick
I can't get over you
I can't get over any of this.
I never thought I'd be the one with the weakness
You call the shots
While I stay up all night sleepless
It's so pathetic
I make myself sick
I can't get over you
I can't get over any of this.
I can't get over you
I can't get over any of... [x2]
Take what you want from me
I'll give you anything
I'll give you everything
I'll give you everything.
Take what you want from me
I'll give you anything
It's so pathetic
I make myself sick
I can't get over you
I can't get over any of this.
I never thought I'd be the one with the weakness
You call the shots
While I stay up all night sleepless
It's so pathetic
I make myself sick
I can't get over you
Oh oh… [3x]
I never knew that I was dealing with the graduate
With a major in defensive and a minor in excuses
It’s not that hard to say your wrong, admit it oh go
on, go on
You know I wouldn’t want to make you feel worse then
you should
But if you were me you’d do the same (you know you
would, you know you would)
It’s not that hard to say your wrong admit it oh go on,
go on
Oh oh…
It mean everything, just to hear you say to me
That I was right, and you were wrong
It’s not that hard go on, go on
It mean everything, just to hear you say to me
That I was right, and you were wrong
It’s not that hard go on, go on
I know you know it’s all your fault, and I should let
this go
But I need to here you say love (it’s principal, it’s
principle)
It’s not that hard to say your wrong, admit it oh go
on, go on
Oh oh..
It mean everything, just to hear you say to me
That I was right, and you were wrong
It’s not that hard go on, go on
It mean everything, just to hear you say to me

It’s not that hard go on, go on
I was right, you were wrong go on go on
Go on go on…
It would mean everything
(But your so smart and this never ends)
So I tell you that I love you, and blow you a kiss
(But until you say your sorry, well that’s all your
gonna get oh..)
That’s all your gonna get oh
Oh oh... [2x]
It mean everything, just to hear you say to me

I was right, and you were wrong
It’s not that hard go on, go on
I was right, and you were wrong
I'm trying to sleep,
But this pain in my chest,
It's keeping me awake,
And every breath I take,
Feels like it's my last,
I want to be fine,
I want to be sure,
I want to be a lot of things,
And none of them include you.
I keep telling myself I'm not miserable,
I keep telling myself I'm better off without you
I believed that you meant everything you said,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories,
For the pain and lies
Every time I had to cry,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
I don't understand,
Because it doesn't make sense,
The way you broke it off,
Took away my heart,
Took away all my friends,
I want to go out,
And get out of this house,
But to begin again is gonna take more than I think I'd
ever have to give.
I keep telling myself I'm not miserable,
I keep telling myself I'm better off without you
I believed that you meant everything you said,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories,
For the pain and lies
Every time I had to cry,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
I believe that I was so cleverly deceived,
By good looks, some charm, and a brilliant lie,
All the time that was spent being used I should have
said,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
I want to know why you're such an idiot,
I want to know how you can even live with it,
I want to know why I should even give a damn,
About you missing me so terribly
I'm starting to sleep a little easier now,
Now that I'm over this,
And I've made up my mind to never fall in love again,
With someone like you, someone so confused,
I just wish I would have realized that a long time
before I had...
I believed that you meant everything you said,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories,
For the pain and lies
Every time I had to cry,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
I believe that I was so cleverly deceived,
By good looks, some charm, and a brilliant lie,
All the time that was spent being used I should have
said,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
I believed that you meant everything you said,
One step forward,
Two steps back
I know, I know it's a bad cliche
But suffice to say
that it's exactly where I'm at
(1,2,3,4)
I just can't take this anymore
The same knuckles knocking at my chamber door
The same faces that I've always seen before
Is it selfish of me
to just want to be alone?
I don't think so
Who we are
It's not who we
It's not who we really are
It's just a game we play
It's sad to say we still don't know who
Who we are
We don't know who
We don't know who we are
It's just a game we play
Oh It's sad to say we still don't know who
We are
1,2,3,4
Can't, can't, can't count on me anymore
Tired of waking up to this charade
Tired of waving my baton
in front of the last parade
(1,2,3,4)
I just can't take this anymore
The same knuckles knocking at my chamber door
The same faces that I've always seen before
Is it selfish of me
to just want to be alone?
I don't think so
Who we are
It's not who we
It's not who we really are
It's just a game we play
It's sad to say we still don't know who
Who we are
We don't know who
We don't know who we are
It's just a game we play
Oh It's sad to say we still don't know who
We are
I know that you've got
your bridges to burn
But I've got mine too
So please wait your turn
I dug out the matches
This isn't ?
It's just well rehearsed
Who we are
It's not who we
It's not who we really are
It's just a game we play
It's sad to say we still don't know who
Who we are
We don't know who
We don't know who we are
It's just a game we play
I'll always have a sunrise.
I'll always have a sunset.
I'll always have the ocean, to help deal with these
emotions.
And there'll always be a highway that's running through
The desert in Southern California, but all I really
want is you.
All I really want is you. [4x]
You'll always have your sunrise.
You'll always have your sunset.
And I know you need some time alone, even though it's
selfish.
I pray to God you keep in mind this broken heart
You left behind in Southern California.
But all I really want is you.
All I really want is you. [4x]
Their'll always be a hole in my heart that's shaped
just like you,
And there'll always be a empty space in everything that
I do,
But I'll always have this voice that I can sing until
the day I die,
In Southern California.
Southern California.
All I really want is you. [7x]
I'll always have a sunrise.
I'll always have a sunset.
I'll always have the ocean, to help deal with these
emotions.
But I'll always have this voice that I can sing
Get out of the car, and don't try and stop me
Stay where you are, cause there you can't hurt me
You took things too far, and I don't deserve this
No I don't deserve this
You said that you'd be, you'd always be honest
And mean what you say, but you broke every promise
That you ever made, and I don't deserve this
No I don't deserve
If I had just one bullet, and a trigger I'd pull it
Shoot my cupid out of the sky
Break off his wings, and gouge out his eyes
And thank him for nothing, 'cause that's all that he gave to me
Your love is my heart disease
Don't try and call, I'm not going to answer
I'm not going to fall for another disaster
That you put me through, and I don't deserve this
No I don't deserve this
If I had just one bullet, and a trigger I'd pull it
Shoot my cupid out of the sky
Break off his wings and gouge out his eyes
And thank him for nothing, cause that's all that he gave to me
Your love is my heart disease [x2]
I don't care anymore [x6]
about you
I don't care anymore [x6]
I'm better off [x4]
Shoot my cupid out of the sky
Break off his wings and gouge out his eyes
And thank him for nothing, 'cause that's all that he gave to me
Your love is my heart disease
Shoot my cupid out of the sky
Break off his wings and ask him just why
He played such a sick joke on the fool that is me
And curse me with this sickness
Say what you want, I'll believe it
No, you don't really have to mean it
I never had a chance, always was a sucker for a part
time lover's romance
Say what you want, I'll believe it
No, you don't really have to mean it
I never had a chance, always was a sucker for a part
time lover's romance
Take time if you need it
Rewind and repeat it

Every day feels like forever
Take time if you need it
Rewind and repeat it
Well tears fall, better believe it
Every day feels like forever
Say what you want, I'll believe it
No, you don't really have to mean it

Yeah, take what you want, I don't need it
I'll play the giver if you'll receive it
I never had a chance, always was a sucker for a part
time lover's romance
Every day is bitter sweet sweet bitter
I've got the time if you've got time to remember
But it's clear that you don't
If you did, then you'd show it
If you feel it, you might know it
Every day is bitter sweet sweet bitter
Disappoint me, yeah you sure do deliver
You always seem just like an orphan on Christmas
I'll take what I can get, but it's not on my wish list
(wasn't ever on my wish list)
Take time if you need it
Rewind and repeat it
Well tears fall, better believe it
Every day feels like forever
Take time if you need it
Rewind and repeat it
Well tears fall, better believe it
Every day feels like forever
Every day feels like forever
Take time if you need it
Rewind and repeat it
You leave me like an addict, always wanting more
But when I break free the sirens sounds and call me back to shore
The bottom of the ocean is the safest place to be
I still swim towards the surface just to breathe your misery
I get so lost and so confused, I'm just so tired of bein' used
I wish you'd just make up your mind, my sweet unvalentine
I'm just so tired and so afraid that you might leave me everyday
I wish you'd just make up your mind, my sweet unvalentine
You run just like a rabbit, and I chase you like a fool
But this fool I hate, I can't forsake, this fools in love with you
I'm (I wasting my time) hanging by your threads?
(Make up your mind) Cut these spider webs
I get so lost and so confused, I'm just so tired of bein' used
I wish you'd just make up your mind, my sweet unvalentine
I'm just so tired and so afraid that you might leave me everyday
I wish you'd just make up your mind, my sweet unvalentine
Say that you'll be mine
Cut me with your sweet caress, kill me with your tenderness
I don't care what you do, as long as I'm with you
The bottom of the ocean is the safest place to be
I still swim towards the surface just to breathe your misery
I get so lost and so confused, I'm just so tired of bein' used
I wish you'd just make up your mind, my sweet unvalentine
I'm just so tired and so afraid that you might leave me everyday
I wish you'd just make up your mind, my sweet unvalentine
I get so lost and so confused, I'm just so tired of bein' used
I see a soul just begging to be taken away
I see the fire in your eyes like the light of day
I see the dirt on your fingernails i know you've been digging
You're at the end but maybe this is just the beggining
And there is nothing left in you
I know, I know it feels like dying.
Like you're fighting just to breathe
We are the death of the party
We're here to save you
So blow out your candals
Come with the Vandels
Baby Make 'em scream
Feels like the the world is your nightmare
And life is your prison
(lets see you break those chains)
Looks like you're trying to cover up the scars you've been given
(you're one of us now
lets get a little strange)
I know you're fighting just to breath
We are the death of the party
We're here to save you
So blow out your candals
Come with the Vandels
Baby Make 'em scream
We are the death of the party
We're here to save you
So blow out your candals
Come with the Vandels
I've Got A Smile Like Cyanide
My insides are cold and bitter
im no good at regret, proud to be such a mess
I wear it on me like a scarlet letter
you fit like the perfect crime
now my pain will be your problem
I told you that im no good, you think im misunderstood
Now heaven isn't ready lets raise hell
heaven isint ready lets raise hell...
(chorus)
DANGER
You'll never make it out alive
you know im so dramatic
and its quite the habit
you know I wont let go...
DANGER
you know you'll never stand a chance
I tried to warn you
like the ones before you
you know I wont let go...
I've been burned here once or twice
Revenge always makes it better
im bored and your just a fix
A heart to throw in the ditch
with all the hearts that I've stolen before
this is just entertainment
with a mind so sick and twisted
depraved sadistic torture
Its like you'll never even see this coming.
heaven isn't ready lets raise hell...
(chorus)
DANGER
you'll never make it out alive
you know im so dramatic
snd its quite the habit
you know I wont let go...
DANGER
you know you'll never stand a chance
I tried to warn you
like the ones before you
you know I wont let go...
you know I wont let go
I will CREEP behind you while you sleep
and before the blood drips off the sheets
ill wake you up
so I can hear you SCREAM!!
I wanna hear you SCREAM!!!
Don't say I didn't warn you
(chorus)
DANGER
you'll never make it out alive
you know im so dramatic
and its quite the habit
you know I wont let go...
DANGER
you know you never stand a chance
I tried to warn you
like the ones before you
you know I wont let go...
you know I cant let go...
The sun will rise a thousand times
It burns my eyes
It makes me cry
And in my mind my thoughts unwind
On and on and on
I loved you, I hate you, goodbye
One more moon to fall into
I'm black and blue
And in this room I create my rules
Over and over again
I loved you, I hate you
Everybody's unaware
Tonight I'm taking down all the walls but I'm not scared
I'm coming home (I'm coming home)
I'm coming home (I'm coming home)
They'll see a sad, sad story of angels and glory
And here lies before me a hopeless ghost
I want you to know as I leave this note
That I'll miss you the most
And I love you and hate you
Everybody's unaware
Tonight I'm taking down all the walls but I'm not scared
I'm coming home (I'm coming home)
I'm coming home (I'm coming home)
I'm coming home
I loved you and I hate you, goodbye
My heart is dark, and if it meant
The ignorance, you'll live with it
I'm dancing in oblivion
I've always known that I belong
Hello Darkness, I am home
Everybody's unaware
Tonight I'm taking down all the walls but I'm not scared
I'm coming home (I'm coming home)
I'm coming home (I'm coming home)
I'm coming home (I'm coming home)
I'm coming home...
frequently baby im changing my mind
running around with you
searching your eyes for an answer
or something true
But when I turn around to get you
you gone and run away
I'll kiss you goodbye if I thought it would make you stay
Cause my white Flag is Waving in the air
in the Hopes that you will see
What a fool idea to pass up what you're offerin' to me
I need to find a way
I need to find a reason
surrender in your arms collapse as you take over me
I need to find a way
I need to find a reason
I need to find a place to rest my head
And bring your heart back to my bed
im all for you..
Im missing these words fighting for a change
And letting down, memories look so sad
We try to hold onto days that we wished we had
This was suposed to be my hit song
but I wasted it all on you
tomorrow is near and Im not gonna waste it too
Cause my white Flag is Waving in the air
with the Hopes that you will see
What a fool idea to pass up what you're offering me
I need to find a way
I need to find a reason
surrender in your arms collapse as you take over me
I need to find a way
I need to find a reason
I need to find a place to rest my head
and bring your heart back to my bed
You're so dead to me
Another broken promise and our love ends tragically
May I suggest your lock your doors and hide the key
somewhere deep inside your dresser drawers
Hey love tell me what's that sound, could it be that I've found you?
Wont you take a look around because I'm coming
Don't you dare close your eyes
I've got you running now run for your life
One last wish, one last kiss
These blood red lips are poisonous
Kiss me goodnight this is goodbye
One last breath, one slow death
These hands feel so good around your neck
I cross my heart and hope you die
Wake up, I don't think you realize,
no I don't think you recognize the look on my face
I'm standing right in front of you and saying that I'm through with you
And I don't have a problem spilling your blood all over this place
One last kiss, one last wish
These blood red lips are poisonous
Kiss me goodnight this is goodbye
One last breath, one slow death
These hands feel so good around your neck
I cross my heart and hope you die
Am I insane? Are you afraid?
Dearly departed I'm just getting started
Are you broken hearted?
I'm out of love now I'm out for blood, will it be enough?
Dearly departed I'm just getting started
Out of our minds
With madness in our eyes
What was once beautiful
Is this the end
Will we see our love again
Woh oh oh
How did I know
This would be our bed
Woh oh oh
Where did it go
How could it escape
We created a monster
And it’s out of control
Oh my darling what have we done
It hurts to know
We’re better off alone
Our stitch was poorly sewed
Unraveling
Is this the end
Will we see our love again
Who oh oh
How did I know
This would be our bed
Who oh oh
Where did it go
How could it escape
We created a monster
And it’s out of control
Oh my darling what have we done
How could we let it get away
There’s only one thing left to say
It’s alive
It’s alive
It’s alive
Woh oh oh
How did I know
This would be our bed
Who oh oh
Where did it go
How could it escape
We created a monster
And it’s out of control
Oh my darling what have we done
We created a monster
And it’s out of control
Just what the doctor ordered
A hospital bed and a coroner
You knocked me dead just like I knew you would
No cure or recovery
Baby, I'm addicted to your disease
Maybe you're a bad medicine
Maybe you're a bad medicine
I'm dead inside - you make me feel alive
You're all I want and I don't know why
This new addiction is all I know
And it's safe to say,
That I've lost all control
I've always felt so empty
Took a little taste and found that you are the remedy
You knocked me dead just like I knew you would
No help or therapy
Baby, I'm addicted to your disease
Maybe you're a bad medicine
Maybe you're a bad medicine
I'm dead inside - you make me feel alive
You're all I want and I don't know why
This new addiction is all I know
And it's safe to say,
That I've lost all control
You knocked me dead
(And I've lost all control)
You knocked me dead
I'm dead inside - you make me feel alive
You're all I want and I don't know why
This new addiction is all I know
And it's safe to say,
That I've lost all control
You knocked me dead
(And I've lost all control)
You knocked me dead
We are the infantry and this is our goodbye
We are the suffering and so we sing our battle cry
Now is the time to number our souls
Our gears are turning
Mechanical
I, Machine
Trade my heart
To feel no pain
You gotta nasty little side of you that's new to me I
wish I knew the
sighs were on the wall for all to see a penny for your
thoughts and

These cuts will bleed forever
and ill never heal
'cause its the only way I know its real
On that day when they drag us to our graves
Our friends will dress in black
as someone whispers in the back
(They will say)
Give it up for what we could have been
Watch them all attend the death of love
the taste of poison
Drop the curtain, take our final bow
Watch them read aloud
The death of us the same old story
So let's haunt these halls forever
And I'll keep holding on
We'll show them what it means to break hearts
So take my hand, take my love, take my life
We'll dance withe the ghosts
with the souls of the night
Down we go
Give it up for what we could have been
Watch them all attend the death of love
the taste of poison
Drop the curtain, take our final bow
Watch them read aloud
The death of us the same old story
Here lies the bride
Crimson and white
So take my hand, take my love, take my life
We'll dance with the ghosts
with the souls of the night
Give it up for what we could have been
Watch them all attend the death of love
the taste of poison
Drop the curtain, take our final bow
Watch them read aloud

There's something about you,
I can not explain
I just want to know you,
I just want to know your name
It's not what you said,
Not the way you said it
I'm under your spell and I don't regret it
Take my breath,
Baby reach inside my chest,
You can have whatever's left,
Cause baby I'm possessed
Don't you try to hide with those angel eyes
(If you let me inside, I wont hold back this time)
Such a deep disguise, the devil's right inside
(More than paralyzed, Oh its the chase you like)
There's a darkness,
I can feel it in your touch
I should get away,
I want you way too much
Take my breath,
Baby reach inside my chest,
You can have whatever's left,
Cause baby I'm possessed
Don't you try to hide with those angel eyes
(If you let me inside, I wont hold back this time)
Such a deep disguise, the devil's right inside
(More than paralyzed, Oh its the chase you like)
I don't care how many times it takes to get through to you,
This is a force that not even God can stop,
You're fucking mine
You have this power over me
And there's no way to fight it
I cant help but gravitate towards you,
This is a force I can't defeat
Take my breath,
Baby reach inside my chest,
Don't you try to hide with those angel eyes
(If you let me inside, I wont hold back this time)
Such a deep disguise, the devil's right inside
I'm so happy I could scream
it's like my wildest dream
Just look at my smiling face
as everything finally falls into place
I'm going for a ride on a rollercoaster
ain't nothing gonna get in my way.
New Year's Day
You'd never belive what I've been through
and how hard I've tried
and now the stone wall's smashed to pieces
I leave it far behind
I'm driving a rollercoaster
and nothings gonna get in my way
The needle's in hand,
but I cannot sew.
My heart's a worn thing
like a sweater with holes.
It all fades
New year's day.
The rain creeps in
through the crack in the door,
like the guilt that seeps
from my head to the floor.
We'll all wait for...
New year's day, I'll wake up
in the same familiar way.
Where I end, we'll begin
we'll do it all over again.
'Cause it's just another year that slipped away
from me
There's a place that kills
with walls that I know
I've got a coffin to sleep in,
it's not a bed but a hole.
This face in the mirror
just won't go away,
it hides in the room
stares me right in the face.
And it all fades...
New year's day, I'll wake up
in the same familiar way.
Where I end, we'll begin
we'll do it all over again
and it's just another year that slipped away
it's just another year that slipped away
it's just another year that slipped away
it's just another year that slipped...
On new year's day, I'll wake up
in the same familiar way
where I end, we'll begin
we'll do it all over again.
'Cause it's just another year that slipped away
You might think there's nothing left but ashes
In a box on a table at Crosby's Bar
But there's more than meets the eye
You didn't leave us when you died
Your spirit will live on in what we do and who we are
Aunt Betty's gonna tell us stories 'bout the family
Daughter Susan is gonna sing your favorite song
Cousin Perry will spend the day
Tellin' tales of the blue and gray
And the Cajun will keep pickin' all night long
We'll be putting down the brisket and tequila
Down in Kerrville with the Seekers of the Shade
'Cause a piece of you lives on
Not only in this song
But in all the lives you touched and every friendship
that you made
We're gonna go up to Maine and eat some clams and
lobsters
Bite the worm down in sunny Cancun bay
We'll be home by Christmas Eve
Tellin' tales you won't believe
And we'll swim in Barton Springs on New Year's Day
Well Greg's gonna walk the aisles up at Carlisle
Bringing smiles just like you used to do
Uncle Dave's got a whiskey toast
I'll be driving coast to coast
And your smilin' face will live on in the heart of
widow Sue
We're gonna jump across the mighty Mississippi
Way up north where it's just a little stream
Brother Bill's gonna keep an eye
On the kin you left behind
For you taught us how to live and you showed us how to
dream
We're gonna go up to Maine and eat some clams and
lobsters…
Yeah, we're gonna go up to Maine and suck on the heads
of lobsters
Like a Cajun gone home to Frenchman Bay
We'll be home by Christmas Eve
Tellin' tales you won't believe
All is quiet on New Year's dayA world in white gets
underway
I want to be with you, be with you, night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's day
On New Year's day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered, black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it's true, all true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again
Oh...
Oh, maybe the time is right
Oh, maybe tonight
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's day
On New Year's day
All is quiet on New Year's Day,
A world in white gets underway,
And I want to be with you,
Be with you night and day.
Nothing changes on New Year's Day.
I will be with you again.
I will be with you again.
Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white.
Arms entwined, the chosen few,
Newspapers say, it says it's true.
And we can break through,
Though torn in two we can be one.
I will begin again, I will begin again.
Oh and maybe the time is right,
Oh maybe tonight.
I will be with you again.
I will be with you again.
And so we are told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage.
Though I want to be with you,
To be with you night and day.
it was only new year's day when they walked in the room
all it took was just one look and they knew it was only
another day and then a week or two all it took was
something good and they knew what it means to be free of
all insecurity what is love at first sight anyway they
don't know what to begin to say tongue-tied all they hear
around is that it never works out and enjoy it while you
can cause it won't last so what's it mean to be free of
all insecurity what happens when love happens just to
Never should have listened to that friend of mine
He said the work was here and the girls were fine
But all I do is wait in line to be told that I'm not
right
Never should have climbed the Rockies in my lousy car
Three thousand miles to chase this star
I got to save my money and tend this bar
To get that eastbound flight
Don't want to waste another day in LA in the land of
the endless summer
Sometimes it seems these California dreams are just one
long bummer
And I was born the son of a mummer
I'm gonna keep on keep on waiting on new years day
I'll be up all night making body heat
Bring my golden slippers down to 2 street
And don't that glockenspiel sound sweet in the January
I'm gonna raise my glass to the first sunrise
Dance and strut with all my guys
I gotta kiss the girl with the ice blue eyes confetti
in her hair, gotta be there
Chorus
Bridge
Here we stand at your door
Like we did the year before
Give us whiskey give us gin
Seven years have passed so quickly
And it seems like yesterday
I remember your phone call
It was the last day of that year
We bought a cheap wine
Girls at the backseat
Car stereo was playing so loud
My stupid songs
My stupid words never change
I don't forget the promise we made
Still the same star shines above us
Driving 45 to see fireworks on New Year's Day
I'm tired of being told to be someone I never wanted to be
I'm so sick to hear prigs talking about sociability
I've never forgotten why I started this rebellion myself
I just can't wait
Life is too short
Time is running too fast and I'm always left behind
I just can't wait
Until my turn
I never asked authority to do in my own way
Hell I don't forget the promise we made
Still the same star shines above us
Driving 45 to see fireworks on New Year's Day
I guess I'll wait, until the summer I plan to make amends.
I can't wait until the seasonal depression comes to an end.
I'll try and think of the farthest distance away from here.
When you come looking for me, I hope you realize things like this never disappear.
I think I'll hold this grudge forever.
You're just taking away the night.
Now I'm starting to realize I'm living my own life,
and just to let you know the world spins without you.
It's not like I wanted it to be this, but believe me when I say,
