Army of Anyone was a supergroup formed by Filter frontman Richard Patrick with two of the then-former members of rock band Stone Temple Pilots. In addition to Patrick on vocals, the band featured Dean DeLeo and Robert DeLeo on guitars and bass, respectively, and Ray Luzier (currently of Korn and formerly of David Lee Roth's band) on drums. This was the first band the DeLeo brothers formed without Scott Weiland since the short-lived Talk Show project in 1997 and was their first major project since STP's breakup in 2003.
While writing material for a fourth Filter album, Richard Patrick linked up with the DeLeo brothers for help. The result of their meeting was a track called "A Better Place". A few days later, they decided to form a new band. Ray Luzier was called to audition after the DeLeo brothers were impressed with Ray's sound check at a show. Luzier joined the band later after a successful auditioning. The band had recorded more than 30 songs in Patrick's home studio, 11 of which would make their way on to their debut album, which was originally slated for an early 2006 release.
The only thoughts I've had
have put me in pools of red
If only I could break loose
The only dreams I've had
stay locked inside my head
If only I could hear you
More than love
is needed this time
Love ain't enough
The only peacefulplace is in the cold embrace
of some truth and honesty
We only hesitate
because our hands must hate
If only our hearts broke through
More than love
is needed this time
love ain't enough
So give us
some patience
because our hearts can't teach us
So give us
some patience
because our hearts can't lead us
More than love
is needed this time
love ain't enough
More than love
is needed this time
love ain't enough
ain't enough
ain't enough
They get what they give ya
you get what you get
they take what they take on
no matter what you said
Or maybe
it's just apathy
Or maybe
We don't question it
So help us
in this mess
The fault of all of us
Yeah
Contagious
Complacent
kiss goodbye
Generation of fear
and whatever
Life in the bullseye
they won't ignore
life in the big lie
we won't absolve
or maybe it's just lethargy
or maybe
we should question it
So help us
in this mess
The fault of all of us
Yeah
Contagious
Complacent
kiss goodbye
Generation of fear
and whatever
Generation of fear
and whatever
Yeah
Generation of fear
and whatever
Generation of fear
Cold is your heart
when you're heart has been broken
Love is what's lost
when the loss leads to loathing
Pains what you've got
when you've got
got going
There is your food
And your food's
got you choking
Touch a good game
cause the rules are the same
I can't deny that we'll miss him
now that you've killed
it's a much bigger pill
cause larger words are missing
Say what you will
where's your father figure
Say what you will
Where's your father figure
now?
Spun is your head
and your head is unfolding
Crushed is your soul
and your soul is unloading
Torn are your thoughts
and your thoughts
make life hopeful
Gone is the cost
and the cost
is unhopeful
Touch a good game
cause the rules are the same
I can't deny that we'll miss him
now that you've killed
it's a much bigger pill
cause larger words are missing
Say what you will
where's your father figure
Say what you will
Where's your father figure
now?
Say what you will
where's your father figure
Say what you will
Where's your father figure
Say what you will
where's your father figure
Say what you will
I saved a place for you
I saved a place for all of you
I wanna pull you all in
I want you guessin' what the truth can win
Let's all fake happiness
We'll put on a good show
We'll lie through our teeth
We'll kill who tries to cheat
Aye man
Yeah
It doesn't seem to matter
When it's all about you
It doesn't seem to matter
when it's all about you
I'll try to make amends
I'll try to mend all of you
I want to let you all in
I want to live where the truth can win
Let's all fake happiness
We'll put on a good show
With fun in the streets
We'll kill who tries to cheat
Aye man
Yeah
It doesn't seem to matter
When it's all about you
It doesn't seem to matter
When it's all about you
I want to let you all in
I want to live where the truth can win
It doesn't seem to matter
When it's all about you
It doesn't seem to matter
Yeah, I got this thinkin' in my head
Yeah, you wanna say the things not said
Whats the reason?
Don't really care if you leave
Just wanna see you beaten
Don't really care if you grieve
Don't really need a reason
Hey, goodbye
I wish you stayed here
I wish you were here
Yeah, I got this feelin' in my veins
Yeah, a helpless feeling mixed with pain
What's the meaning?
I just can't believe
that you're not really with me
I just can't believe
I wonder if you'll miss me
Hey, goodbye
I wish you stayed here
We pledge allegiance
to a
a land that's empty
and allegiance to a guy
that's unrelenting
they really let us down
we don't even know how
it's complicated
where the lies are thick
start to eb and we're sick of it
they really hold us down
more than more somehow
it's acrobatic what the country say
even from the leadership
NON!
stop
stop the manipulation
in the higher nothing
stop disintegration
in the land of longing
Wasting time
We stand accusing
but the effects are proven
we stand accusing
but it's not a drug we're losing
they really let us down
we don't even know how
it's complicated
where the lies are thick
it starts to feel like a sinking ship
they really hold us down
more than more somehow
we're such a dope from the lies they spit
we're losing lives
cause they're full of shit
NON!
stop
stop the manipulation
in the higher nothing
stop disintegration
in the land of longing
Last call
feelin' tall
I forget the last night
Please come in
Don't intend
This is good for me no more
I'm starting to believe it
the hardest thing's to feel it
Down in me
Honestly
the hardest thing's to leave it
These temple walls
will not fall
While outside the world grows
They've come as I've withdrawn
now they know I'm hollow
I'm starting to believe it
the hardest thing's to feel it
Down in me
Honestly
the hardest thing's to leave it
It's okay to come down
It's okay to come down
I'm starting to believe it
the hardest thing's to feel it
Down in me
Honestly
You are said you'd never leave me
and yet there you go
Hey this wasn't supposed to happen
And yet there you go
Right to the door
Leaving me alone
Cause I wish you would be with me forever
it's catastrophe
I just thought together we'd stay
Now I'm looking for your hand
Where are you
Cause all four walls are comin' down tonight
where are you
Cause all four walls are comin' down tonight
I guess I should have seen it
And now it's too late
Hey this wasn't supposed to happen
Now it's too late
I hesitated
now you're leaving me alone
Cause I wish you would be with me forever
its complexities
I just thought together we'd stay
Now I'm looking for your hand
Where are you
Cause all four walls are comin' down around tonight
where are you
I used to think that we could drink
from the puddle of pure and simple life
now I know that we can't go
two or three days without a pointless fight
I truly think that we should reposition
The cold reality of what we're thinking
Stop
look
and listen
Maybe that's the way that we'll know
stop
look
and listen
Maybe that's the way that we'll know
Just a break
we could shrink
to something that might not make it back
In the end that we mend
Maybe we can finally make it right
I truly think that we should reposition
The cold reality of our condition
Stop
look
and listen
Maybe that's the way that we'll know
stop
look
and listen
Maybe that's the way that we'll know
Maybe this time we can heal our wounds
Cause if we don't we'll just make some room
We've got a long way to go
It just takes a moment to kiss goodbye
it just takes a moment to say goodbye
Stop
look
and listen
Maybe that's the way that we'll know
stop
look
and listen
Maybe that's the way that we'll know
Stop
look
and listen
Maybe that's the way that we'll know
stop
look
and listen
The only thoughts I've had
have put me in pools of red
If only I could break loose
The only dreams I've had
stay locked inside my head
If only I could hear you
More than love
is needed this time
Love ain't enough
The only peacefulplace is in the cold embrace
of some truth and honesty
We only hesitate
because our hands must hate
If only our hearts broke through
More than love
is needed this time
love ain't enough
So give us
some patience
because our hearts can't teach us
So give us
some patience
because our hearts can't lead us
More than love
is needed this time
love ain't enough
More than love
is needed this time
love ain't enough
ain't enough
Let's not go outside
too much work's in here
heaven can't help us
Watch the walls knocked down
Jesus lost his crown
heaven
must help us
Don't look
don't look at me
I watch how the world works in here
I love how the world works in here
Yeah
I try to disappear
Can't you see what I'm sayin'
I try to disappear
Can't you see what I'm sayin'
Hearts melt with lies
Feeling ostracized
they won't just help us
Mourning makes us cry
Singing last goodbyes
no one can help us
Don't look
don't look at me now
I watch how the world works through here
I love how the world works from here
Yeah
I try to disappear
Can't you see what I'm sayin'
I try to disappear
Can't you see what I'm sayin'
I try to disappear
Can't you see what I'm sayin'
I try to disappear
Let's begin
my favorite thing
We'll take a journey to a place within
So help me
To travel
maybe the next wave will unravel
In my own skin
in my own heart
wish you'd come in
but the place is blown apart
in my own skin
in my own heart
we have to rebuild
the hardest thing is just to start
Make me a better place
it's filled with a little love, yeah
make me a better place
it's filled with a little love, yeah
Screamin'
Dreamin'
We've taken a trip to where our thoughts unload
dreamin'
believin'
The place we ended up
is where the truth is told
In my own skin
in my own heart
wish you'd come in
but the place is blown apart
in my own skin
in my own heart
we have to rebuild
the hardest thing is just to start
Make me a better place
it's filled with a little love, yeah
make me a better place
it's filled with a little love, yeah
In my own skin
in my own heart
wish you'd come in
but the place is blown apart
in my own skin
in my own heart
we have to rebuild
the hardest thing is just to start
Make me a better place
it's filled with a little love, yeah
make me a better place
