10 Years is an American alternative metal band, formed in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1999.
10 Years was initially formed in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1999 with singer Mike Underdown, drummer Brian Vodinh, bassist Lewis Cosby, and guitarists Ryan "Tater" Johnson (also of The American Plague) and Matt Wantland. In 2001, Cosby left and the band recruited Andy Parks on bass. They independently recorded Into the Half Moon the same year.
Lead vocalist Mike Underdown left the band to pursue a career in acting and start up a new band 'Courage, You Bastards' in Los Angeles, Ca. 10 Years soon recruited current vocalist Jesse Hasek from another local band. In 2002, Parks decided to leave the band and Cosby returned. The band then released their independent album Killing All That Holds You in 2004.
10 Years was then signed to Universal Records in 2005 and released their major label debut, The Autumn Effect on August 16, 2005 with the songs "Wasteland" and "Through the Iris" picking up regional radio play. Their first single, "Wasteland" spent over 12 months on the rock charts, finally reaching #1 at active rock radio in December 2005.
Channing Matthew Tatum (born April 26, 1980) is an American actor, film producer, dancer, and former model, best known for his roles in Step Up (2006), G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009), Dear John (2010), The Vow (2012), and 21 Jump Street (2012). He has also appeared in films such as Coach Carter (2005), She's the Man (2006), A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006), and Fighting (2009). While mostly known for his dramatic performances in Dear John and The Vow, he has since ventured into more comedic roles.
Tatum was born and raised in Cullman, Alabama. His mother, Kay (née Faust), is an airline worker, and his father, Glenn Tatum, worked in construction. His ancestry includes Irish, French and Native American. Tatum's family moved to Mississippi when he was six, and he grew up in the bayous near the Mississippi River, where he lived in a rural setting.
Tatum was athletic while growing up, playing football, soccer, track, baseball, and performing martial arts; he has said that "girls were always [his] biggest distraction in school." As a child, he practiced wuzuquan kung fu under the lineage of 10th dan Grandmaster Chee Kim Thong. Tatum spent most of his teenage years in the Tampa, Florida area and initially attended Gaither High School before going to Tampa Catholic High School. He graduated in 1998 and was voted most athletic. Afterward, Tatum attended Glenville State College in Glenville, West Virginia on a football scholarship, but dropped out. He returned home and started working odd jobs. US Weekly reported that around this time Tatum began working as a stripper at a local nightclub, under the name "Chan Crawford." In 2010, he told an Australian newspaper that he would like to make a movie about his experiences as a stripper. He later moved to Miami, where he was discovered on the street by a model talent scout.
In your eyes is the picture perfect?
In your eyes does the grass look greener?
Have you seen it though my eyes?
The world has caught on fire from what I've been told.
These city lights are killing ever slowly,
The sanity with in me.
Maybe I lost in my creation.
This isn't how I thought I'd turn out.
In your eyes I'm picture perfect.
In your eyes the grass is greener.
Have you seen it though my eyes?
Cause through my eyes.
Stars are burning brighter.
So bright we can't ignore.
We're hypnotized by televised train wrecks tragedy's a paycheck.
Maybe I, a product of my placement.
We're given no time to make up our minds.
In your eyes I'm picture perfect.
In your eyes the grass is greener.
Have you seen it though my eyes?
Cause through my eyes.
In your eyes I'm so picture perfect.
In your eyes the grass is greener.
Have you seen it though my eyes?
Through my eyes.
Through my eyes.
Through my eyes.
Pay attention please.
He who lusts through life for excess in this world.
Dies a lonely man, careless of his soul.
Throwing caution to the wind with foolish ignorance.
You're full of pride.
And in arrogance you can't accept the nearing end of this short lived life.
Smile and give a toast, brag and boast.
Fool the world with all of your lies.
The parasite's host never even knows.
Pull the wool over our eyes.
Walk the line and pay the price.
A pound of flesh for paradise.
Wear the wounds of your demise.
Fail to mention your intentions, fail to mention why.
The actions of your life contradict your words...
The path in which you walk is a vice of no remorse.
Washing conscience from the skin, claiming innocence.
Ignore the signs.
From cradle to grave, you chose to trade.
A pound of flesh for paradise.
Wear the wounds of your demise.
Pay attention please.
He who lusts through life for excess in this world.
Dies a lonely man, careless of his soul.
Throwing caution to the wind with foolish ignorance.
You're full of pride.
And in arrogance you can't accept the nearing end of this short lived life.
Smile and give a toast, brag and boast.
Fool the world with all of your lies.
The parasite's host never even knows.
Pull the wool over our eyes.
From cradle to grave, you chose to trade.
A pound of flesh for paradise.
Wear the wounds of your demise.
One at a time
One in the same
One is the time
That remains
Snip back the weak before they give away
I'm twisted in knots from hard work and strain
I've been waiting so long for this time
I'm terrified
Blind in ways I've never realized
I don't mind
All at a time
All in the same
Califormula
I've become prey
Strolling down
In my face
These tears I'm not crying
This will not kill me
I've been waiting so long for this time
I'm terrified
Blind in ways I've never realized
I don't mind
To do this right
We must realize
Everyone kneads equally
I've been waiting so long for this time
I'm terrified
Blind in ways I've never realized
I don't mind
Shadows set mood.
Innocence left the room.
And all I know to do.
Is shed a tear for you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Please don't be ashamed whether you win or lose.
I just want you to know that I'm proud of you.
Don't be afraid when your fight is through.
I just need you to know that I'm here with you.
I can't watch you choose.
To pour salt in your wounds.
Now all I know to do.
Is say a prayer for you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Please don't be ashamed whether you win or lose.
I just want you to know that I'm proud of you.
Don't be afraid when your fight is through.
I just need you to know that I'm here with you.
It's Russian roulette with no luck.
You can kiss it good-bye there's no such thing as sympathy.
When the disease is entering.
At first glance your instinct says this stranger's a little dangerous.
The cat was killed from curious thrills.
Now Christ has left the manger.
The taste is so divine.
So divine.
A chemical come alive.
come alive.
Welcome to your vice.
Good luck with life.
Cause you can't, you can't, you can't kill me that easily.
It's so nice to meet you.
It's so nice to know you.
Now that your guards down let me show you.
Superior rights from initial highs have now come back to haunt you.
Your craving's beg the strangers hands for a taste that's so familiar.
The taste is so divine.
So divine.
A chemical come alive.
come alive.
Welcome to your vice.
Good luck with life.
Cause you can't, you can't, you can't kill me that easily.
What will you decide when you're out of time?
Cause you can't, you can't, you can't kill me that easily.
The battle you picked was so one sided.
Now depending on me the one you invited.
Beg, plead, scream.
For redemption, for forgiveness.
Beg, plead, scream.
Sorry I'm not listening.
Welcome to your vice.
Good luck with life.
Cause you can't, you can't, you can't kill me that easily.
What will you decide when you're out of time?
Cause you can't, you can't, you can't kill me that easily
Styling your shroud
Infecting the crowd
Steady letting the fruit of her thrill
Fool you so well
Fictitious styles of living
We've expected to work
But this is all your giving
Half of what your worth
Pigeon hold in battles
Overtones of snow in her clutch
Falling through lines
One more breath destroys the best of you
The death of you
Styling your shroud
Infecting the crowd
Steady letting the fruit of her thrill
Fool you so well
A precious gift embedded deep within your skin
But parasitic pleasures are closer than kin
Please expose your shadows
Such concerns are products of love
Falling in lies
One more fraud destroys our trust in you
Our love for you
Styling your shroud
Infecting the crowd
Steady letting the fruit of her thrill
Fool you so well
As you kiss the abstract
And pray it's everything you'd hoped for
The smell of her, the thrill of her
The fruit of her, the use of her
Is killing everything that you've worked for
The smell of her, the thrill of her
The fruit of her, the use of her
Is killing everything that you've worked for
Styling your shroud
Infecting the crowd
Steady letting the fruit of her thrill
Fool you so well
Smell of her
Thrill of her
Fruit of her
Use of her [x3]
The smell of her
Thrill of her
Fruit of her
Lucifer
Hindered by innocence
The timid turn to prey
Swallowed in her smile
Unaware
Turning ears deaf to pain
Willing and weak are one in the same
Watch as your rapid seasons start to change
All of the seasons that fought you
All of the reasons that got you here in the first place
Love in time grows stagnant
The innocence we have lost
New grains of time will not rewind
Injuries strain from her perfect art of guile
Swindling her space
In despair
Shed a tear of mock sincerity
Condescending hearts can display
Cracks as your zone if comfort starts to fray
Humbling to sit back and watch through
All of the actions that got you
Clearly no mercy
Love in time grows stagnant
The innocence we have lost
New grains of time will not rewind
Through patience I'm viewing from outside
Such a shame your pride
Left you in a state of pure denial
Love in time grows stagnant
The innocence we have lost
New grains of time will not rewind
You and I share the same reflection
why dont you see that we cannot survive in this condition
If you're cut, I'll bleed
So go on carve into your own heart, I could use a new scar or a brand new start
Slowly severing the only memories that bind us as one.
I just dont know
How to win with you
And I cant let go, part of me is you.
We have lost all communication when words fall on deaf ears
I'm starting to feel a transformation.
How did I get here?
I dont recognize my own reflection its a ghost of what once was
Gone from relative to stranger, separating body from mind
I just dont know
How to win with you
And I cant let go, part of me is you.
You stay the same
Allowing me to change
I just dont know
How to win with you
I cant let go, part of me is you.
I just dont know, just dont know.
I cant let go, cant let go.
The death of a king
Alluring lassos slide on so smooth
Tension made of razors
Dragging across you
The flushing of eyes
Couldn't cleanse your abrasions
Deep inside consumed with guilt
I'm clothed in a bed of blankouts
Dream suspicious strangers over night
Righteous pharisees befriending
Silent movements mar reinjuring God
The taste of absent minded actions outweigh forgiveness
Briding a widow in spite of her venom
I've failed to mention your soul
Three becoming two
Such a left in criminal
Only the mind of the temptress knows
Actions are my remorse for amnesia
Righteous pharisees befriending
Silent movements mar reinjuring God
The taste of absent minded actions outweigh forgiveness
So close to healing the weak
Turning into the enemy
Paralyzing kings
We are so self
Righteous pharisees befriending
Silent movements mar reinjuring God
The taste of absent minded actions outweigh forgiveness
I felt you cut free turning cold shoulders to me
Growing blame lines communicating lies
Nothing more to trust fallacies of love
Killing all that holds you
Bring me back to this what you said useless
Leave me I'll shed my skin these scars will mend
Don't worry about me the heart is supposed to bleed
Purity is drained
Help each other die
I see it, I see it in your eyes
Killing all that holds you
Bring me back to this what you said useless
Leave me I'll shed my skin these scars will mend
Eyes twitch and lies itch of nervous
Eyes twitch and lies itch from a nervous ending
Innocence is ugly in the one who is guilty
Bring me back to this what you said useless
Leave me I'll shed my skin these scars will mend
Digging deeper in my mind, can't get you out of my head.
There's no way to describe, just how you make me feel.
I don't know is it love, I have lost control
Even when I'm gone, I can't get away.
I can't focus, when I'm near you.
Do you notice, me at all?
I can't focus, when I hear you.
Do you notice, that I can't focus?
Like the moth fly's to the light, catch it at first sight
I can't deny, I'm taken by the beauty in your eye's
I don't know is it love, I have lost control.
Even when I'm gone, I can't get away.
I can't focus, when I'm near you.
Do you notice, me at all?
I can't focus, when I hear you.
Do you notice, that I can't focus?
I can't focus, when I'm near you.
Do you notice, me at all?
I can't focus, when I hear you.
Do you notice?
Do you notice?
I can't focus, when I'm near you.
Do you notice, me at all?
I can't focus, when I hear you.
Do you notice, that I can't focus?
It's been a long time since I've seen
you, baby
Then you call came across my
telephone
Said old friends are meeting
Will you come up maybe
I said I'll try to make it
You left me talking to a tone
Ten years didn't seem so long
Has it been that long, baby
Has it been that long since I've
gone away
Many days and nights have
passed since
I've seen you, mama
So many things have passed our eyes
A ring has come and gone
from my finger, baby
I've stumbled, fallen down
and yes I've even cried
Chorus
It's been ten years since
I've seen you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since
I've whispered in your ear
Let's celebrate now that we're home
(Whisper)
It's been a long time
since I've seen you, yeah!
You're a memory from the past
That'll always last
But life goes on, but it's been
so long...etc.
I think about the past, it's gone
away so fast
I'm still the same human being
I've traveled many miles and all
just the while
I've learned about the things I've seen
It's been ten years since I've seen
you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since I've whispered
sweet in your ear
Let's celebrate now that we're home
It's been ten years since I've seen
you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since I've whispered
in your ear
Keep changing your mind.
Like clouds in the sky.
Love me when your high.
Leave me when you cry.
I know it all takes time.
Like a river running dry when the suns to bright.
So long this is good-bye.
Maybe we'll meet again in another life.
Like strangers passing by.
Maybe we'll see clearly in a different light.
Keep dodging lights.
Like a thief in the night.
The sun will rise and expose all the lies.
So why deny that you and I lead different lives.
The rivers from your eye's can't change my mind.
So long this is good-bye.
Maybe we'll meet again in another life.
Like strangers passing by.
Maybe we'll see clearly in a different light.
Ohh...
The rivers from your eye's can't change my mind.
So long this is good-bye.
Maybe we'll meet again in another life.
Like strangers passing by.
Maybe we'll see clearly in a different light.
How small do you want me to be
Weighed in the balance left lonely
So much can be said through silence
As hard as it seems
All that we need is to close to be seen
Our lives
You build your walls for me to climb
A billion walls for me to climb
You build your walls for me to climb
Travels the very nature we'll live in
Seasons to cycles children to men
Mislead and misread
Company or companion
With all of our hearts we follow our dreams
Slightly out of reach
Our lives
You build your walls for me to climb
A billion walls for me to climb
You build your walls for me to climb
Lives swallow the infatuation
Cleverly seduced
Evil's in the stink of you
Rise and fall we decompose
Rest against the sore
Push breath and pull
Ripping out compassion
Instincts adapting
Sin sings a moan
In slides night
Unite and spread the heart apart
And smile of pain
I can't show my true embrace
Now that you're subdued
I begin to weaken you
Rise and fall we decompose
Prey on the masses
Conscience relapses
The less we think and
more we drink our actions are casual
While sin sings a moan
Lives swallow the infatuation
Cleverly seduced
Evil's in the stink of you
Rise and fall
We decompose
Distance is safer than trust
Honestly honesty's a fable in love
Calloused
Shedding skin I start to grin as malice
Becomes my fuel
I can't show my true embrace
Now that you're subdued
I begin to weaken you
Rise and fall we decompose
Shedding skin I start to grin as malice
Becomes my fuel
Casting a cool breeze
Supplied by the Autumn
Question where it went wrong
Climbing Jacob's ladder
Climbing Jacob's ladder
Kindly could you re-evaluate
Autumn's animated growth
Autumn indicates the death of beauty as we know
Autumn indicates the death of beauty as we know
Keep on fighting one died from burning at his throat
Autumn swiftly stole the breath of body, mind and soul
Try and come to willingly embrace
Kharma's kiss of withering decay
Death feeds, Hell breeds
Subside in the Autumn
Autumn indicates the death of beauty as we know
Autumn indicates the death of beauty as we know
Keep on fighting one died from burning at his throat
Autumn swiftly stole the breath of body, mind and-
Silent beauty
No one cares
Silent ending
No one is there
Distance and space allow emotions to age into faith
Our bodies may end up alone but close
Are you there can you hear me
Are you there can you feel me
Just in the way all your fingertips touch me
They are healing
One day we'll all fall prey
Are you there can you hear me
Are you there can you feel me
Waking up good morning to you my dear
I'm waking up enduring my biggest fears of
Distance away (a weight) distance away
Are you there can you hear me
Are you there can you feel me
Waking up good morning to you my dear
I'm waking up enduring my biggest fear love

blue with the grey shades

Topher
Putrid words from sharpened tongues
Are spewing them from our mouths
Without a translation
We're just making sounds
The pride of a lion is your disguise
But the fear of a coward's in your eyes
You're chasing the rapture
Praying for a
Perfect disaster
To save us from ourselves
We need more then miracles
We need to answer
For the blood on our hands now
And save us from ourselves
Out sight and out of mind
Make everything alright
So let the sky and sea collide
Just not in our lifetime
The end is running late tonight
The kingdom comes crashing down into ashes
Careful what you're asking for
You're chasing the rapture
Praying for a
Perfect disaster
To save us from ourselves
We need more than miracles
We need to answer
For the blood on our hands now
And save us from ourselves
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
Chasing the rapture
Praying for a
Perfect disaster
To save us from ourselves
You're chasing the rapture
Praying for a
Perfect disaster
To save us from ourselves
We need more than miracles
We need to answer
For the blood on our hands now
And save us from ourselves
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
Blessed are he who speaks the word
Grateful that we can lead the herd
Dollars signs in the faithful eyes
The anti fate on day disguise
You're just a faker
No miracle maker
Holy behavior
Won't make you our savior
If we want a martyr
We'll come and find you
Come and find you
Done before you started
You're dead in the water
Walk on father out to sea
You're done before you started
You're dead in the water
Blessed are he who sees the word
Holiness are well rehearsed
Dollars signs in the faithful eyes
Anti fates on day disguised
You're just a faker
No miracle maker
Holy behavior
Wont make you our savior
If we want a martyr
We'll come and find you
Come and find you
Done before you started
You're dead in the water
Walk on father out to sea
You're done before you started
You're dead in the water
The water

Money made messiahs
You're televised to tell your lies
Modern of a martyr
You're dead in the water
If we want a martyr
We'll come and find you
Come and find you
Done before you started
You're dead in the water
Walk on father out to sea
You're done before you started
You're dead in the water
You're dead in the water
You're dead in the water
You're dead in the water
You're dead in the water
I wanna know what you really think of me
I wanna feel all the pain that sets you free
These waves of doubt are drowning me
Gone are the days when this was easy
Buried in the past so many moments I want back
Tomorrow doesn't hold onto yesterday
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it, don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it, don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it, don't fight it
I wanna know after all these lessons learned
If there's a road from these the bridges the we burned
I need to know if you still want me
Want to me show how much I need you
Buried in the past so many moments I want back
Tomorrow doesn't hold onto yesterday
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it, don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it, don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it, don't fight it
Gone are all the days of this was easy
Tomorrow can't hold onto yesterday
If you come right back to me
I won't fight it, I won't fight it
Show me what you need from me
Don't hide it, don't hide it
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it, don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it, don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it, don't fight it
Broken shoulders resting on my back
Overloaded with a weighed stack
Higher and higher
Time runs tired
Silence falls into the deafening
Sirens of my own epiphany
Silence falls into the deafening
Sirens of my own epiphany
My own mortality
Here I lie with my regrets
Possessions petty meaningless
You are my medicine
Healing me with tenderness
Don't go, don't go
Don't go, don't go
Don't go, don't go
I don't know, don't go
I don't know, don't go
I don't know, don't go
I don't know what is happening
What is happening
Broken body crumbles into dust
Weight is lifted sending me with love
Higher and higher
Time expired
The siren calls, re awakening
Passing on into eternity
The siren calls, re awakening
Passing on into eternity
Cry no more for me
Crossing through
Fade into
Crossing through
Fade into
Crossing through
Fade into
Crossing through
Fade into the light
Fade into the light
Crossing through
Fade into the light
Crossing through
Fade into the light
Faith, fact or fiction, now what is the difference?
We're all just searching for the lie
Dividing nations from confrontations
Haven't you seen that the blind lead the blind?
We're a moment in time
In the cycle of life
We're just a moment in time
In the cycle of life
Without dedication there's self medication
We're all just searching for the lie
Communication was lost in translation
Haven't you seen that the blind lead the blind?
We're a moment in time
In the cycle of life
We're just a moment in time
In the cycle of life
(This is just a cycle of
The life that we are all part of)
(This is just a cycle of
The life that we are all part of)
This is just a cycle of
The life that we are all part of
This is just a cycle of
The life that we are all part of
This is just a cycle of
The life that we are all part of
This is just a cycle of
The life that we are all part of
We're a moment in time
In the cycle of life
We're just a moment in time
In the cycle of life
We're a moment in time
In the cycle of life
We're just a moment in time
In the cycle of life
I can't seem to change you or open up your eye's
So go on and sing your sad, sad song.
I don't even blame you the routine is nice.
Nine to five in a suit and tie.
Fear of failure a comfort zone's killed.
Brace your self's and give into the moment.
You've got nothing to lose.
So what is your excuse?
Save yourself's your dying in slow motion.
You got nothing to lose.
So what's your excuse?
Life can't seem to teach you the safe guard is right.
So stray from the fight.
Don't you realize?
The daydreamers nightmare is to never even try.
Your time has slipped by.
Fear of failure a comfort zone's killed.
Brace yourselves and give into the moment.
You've got nothing to lose.
So what is your excuse?
Save yourself's your dying in slow motion.
You got nothing to lose.
So what's your excuse?
Take a step back and find a way out of here.
Can't you see the answer is loud and clear.
Brace your self's and give into the moment.
You've got nothing to lose.
So what is your excuse?
Save yourself's your dying in slow motion.
You got nothing to lose.
So what's your excuse?
Find a way out of here...
How long will you scream at the walls...
For someone to listen?
Surrender the right to resolve
Cause no one will listen
Confusion sets in
With no beginning or end
Frozen in place
The scenery's unraveling
Hanging on by a thread
The child is screaming
While holding his breath
Hanging on by a thread
The child is screaming
While holding his breath
How long will you scream at the walls...
For someone to listen?
Surrender the right to resolve
Cause no one will listen
Forever you face
The fear of being erased
No need to speak
They'll pass you by and wonder why
You're hanging on by a thread
You throw away everything
From holding your breath
How long will you scream at the walls...
For someone to listen?
Surrender the right to resolve
Cause no one will listen
Biting your tongue
The top of your lungs
Biting
Biting
Biting your tongue
How long will you scream at the walls...
For someone to listen?
Surrender the right to resolve
Cause no one will listen
Sky cities scrape the lining of heaven
Beneath this vast region
Manifest destination
Leaves us fast erasing
Days pass
Time flies
You don't realize
Today you waste
This dying youth of beauty and pleasure evaporates
Lives are connected to lasting obsessions that become possessions of waste
While buying the next new fashion that's fed to enslave this land of the free
Days pass
Time flies
You don't realize
Today you waste
Don't be so surprised
Days pass
Time flies
You don't realize
Today you waste
Deep under the surface I keep the love.
Older and aware of head and universe.
I pray to be young and pray to be inspired.
Words of your tongue blister like fire.
I can't let you go.
Slow down don't leave.
Dying days of my youth.
Over take me.
There is a glimpse of death in your eye's.
I'm not prepared to let out those cries.
Our plead to stay young soon will be expired.
So lost in denial.
I can't let you go.
Slow down don't leave.
Dying days of my youth.
Over take me.
Reach in her world, sheltered from strife.
Bearing the gifts, burdens of life.
I've prayed to stay young, but soon will be expired.
An age of innocence, long since gone.
I can't let you go.
Slow down don't leave.
Dying days of my youth.
Over take me.
Those who are looking backwards, chose to live as statues
Frozen, fractured, youthful laughter, fades.
I can't let you go.
Slow down don't leave.
Dying days of my youth.
Over take me.
Sex always sells.
Death is a thrill.
Imitate my lack of patience.
How much we pay to be Taylor made.
Fashion slaves the trends will change.
Now what is your drug of choice.
Pick your poison and enjoy.
What is your drug of choice.
Pick your poison and enjoy.
Disasterbation the thrill of a nation.
Temptation is for sale.
Disasterbation the death of a nation.
Manipulate yourself.
Reality scripted TV.
Chasing fifteen minutes of fame.
Fight over fuel.
Violence in school.
The youth are as confused as I am.
Now what is your drug of choice.
Pick your poison and enjoy.
What is your drug of choice.
Pick your poison and enjoy.
Disasterbation the thrill of a nation.
Temptation is for sale.
Disasterbationthe death of a nation.
Manipulate yourself.
We're so, weak for,
Blaming persuasion.
Live a life based on imitation,
On imitation, on imitation.
So what is your drug of choice.
Pick your poison and enjoy.
Disasterbation the thrill of a nation.
Temptation is for sale.
Disasterbation the death of a nation.
Manipulate yourself.
Disasterbation the thrill of the nation.
Temptation is for sale.
Disasterbation the death of the nation.
Manipulate yourself.
Casted out I'm watching your eyes
Casting out my visions of nine
Blacking out
Casted out I'm watching your eyes bleed dry
Touch with frustrated lips
Love is like starting over
With every step engraving the problems of memories
Casted out I'm watching your eyes
Casting out my visions of nine
Blacking out
Casted out I'm watching your eyes bleed dry
Drunks on failures regrets
Letters of silence confess burdens within
Speaking as loneliness listens
While hopelessly feeling
Casted out I'm watching your eyes
Casting out my visions of nine
Blacking out
Casted out I'm watching your eyes bleed dry
There's a definite pattern to our behavior
Somehow the end draws us closer
Casted out I'm watching your eyes
Casting out my visions of nine
Blacking out
Casted out I'm watching your eyes bleed dry
Blacking out
Cast it out
Beauty over wisdom to fit in with the styles
Your Cinderella stories, for a price
Vanity's a business built to please the unique
Silicon and stars collide; the rest will fall in line
Chorus
Just as beautiful as you are
Its so pitiful what you are
You should have seen this coming all along
Visually you're stimulating to my eyes
Your Cinderella syndrome, full of lies
Your insecurities are concealed by your pride
Pretty soon your ego will kill what's left inside
Chorus
(Beautiful)
It's so pitiful what you are (Pitiful)
As beautiful as you are
(Should have seen)
You should have seen this coming all along
You're everything that's so typical
Maybe You're alone, for a reason
You're the reason
So pitiful what you are
Should have seen this coming all along
(Beautiful)
Just as beautiful as you are
(Pitiful)
So pitiful what you are
(Should have seen)
Should have seen this coming all along
(Beautiful)
Its so pitiful what you are
(Pitiful)
As beautiful as you are
(Should have seen)
Should have seen this coming all along
Pay attention, pay attention, pay attention please.
He who lusts through life for excess in this world.
Dies a lonely man, careless of his soul.
Throwing caution to the wind with foolish ignorance.
You're full of pride.
Full of pride.
Full of pride.
And in arrogance you can't accept the nearing end of this short lived life.
Smile and give a toast, brag and boast.
Fool the world with all of your lies.
The parasite's host never even knows.
Pull the wool over our eyes.
Walk the line and pay the price.
A pound of flesh for paradise.
Wear the wounds of your demise.
Fail to mention your intentions, fail to mention why.
The actions of your life contradict your words...
The path in which you walk is a vice of no remorse.
Washing conscience from the skin, claiming innocence.
Ignore the signs.
Smile and give a toast, brag and boast.
Fool the world with all of your lies.
The parasite's host never even knows.
Pull the wool over our eyes.
Walk the line and pay the price.
A pound of flesh for paradise.
Wear the wounds of your demise.
A pound of flesh for paradise.
Bend the truth till you can't find it.
Find it.
Twist your lies till you don't mind them.
Mind them.
Walk the line and pay the price.
A pound of flesh for paradise.
Wear the wounds of your demise.
Demise.
From cradle to grave, you chose to trade.
A pound of flesh for paradise.
Wear the wounds of your demise.
Oh I know your kind.
You would kill your kin for the right price.
Oil and water are thicker than blood.
Oh I know your type.
Use us to get what you wanted.
You can't finish what you started.
Find it kind of funny how you try to rectify the damage.
Your failure to find compromise.
The walls are coming down.
Will you survive sacrifice or tumble to the ground?
Your lying to yourself.
And to everyone that knows your name.
You play the part of the fool so well.
Oh I know your type.
Use us to get what you wanted.
You can't even finish what you started.
Find it kind of funny how you try to rectify the damage.
Your failure to find compromise.
The walls are coming down.
Will you survive sacrifice or tumble to the ground?
Oh I know your type.
Your failure to find compromise.
The walls are coming down.
Will you survive sacrifice or tumble to the ground?
Wait the fact you did it.
Don't admit it.
Won't make you innocent.
Fate finds you wicked.
Turns you victim for everything you have done.
So justify the reason to kill.
Reason to kill.
I bet you will.
Fooling no one but yourself.
But yourself.
I wish you well.
Oh what tangled webs we weave.
When we practice to deceive.
I know you well.
I know you well.
Actions and motives.
Bear the cross, wear the crown, it's just some evil you can't bleed out.
Hell has to notice.
Your actions and motives.
Bear the cross, wear the crown, it's just some evil you can't bleed out.
I just don't get it.
How you managed to justify who dies.
Like judge and jury.
Your the very one who crucifies.
Don't get your hands dirty to kill.
Use someone else.
Know all your lies are measured in hell.
I wish you well.
Oh what tangled webs we weave.
When we practice to deceive.
I know you well.
I know you well.
Actions and motives.
Bear the cross, wear the crown, it's just some evil you can't bleed out.
Hell has to notice.
Your actions and motives.
Bear the cross, wear the crown, it's just some evil you can't bleed out.
Can't bleed out!
Actions and motives.
Bear the cross, wear the crown, it's just some evil you can't bleed out.
Hell has to notice.
Your actions and motives.
Bear the crossHell has to notice, wear the crown, it's just some evil you can't bleed out.
I can't seem to change you or open up your eyes
So go on and sing your sad sad sad song
I don't even blame you the routine is nice
9-5 in a suite and tie
Fear of failure comfort zones kill
Brace your self and give into the moment
You've got nothing to loose so what is your excuse
Save your self's you're dying in slow motion
You've got nothing to loose so what's your excuse
Life can seem to teach you
The safe cottage route
So stray from the fight
Don't you realize
The day dreamers nightmare
Is to never even try
You're time has slipped by.
Fear of failure comfort zones kill
Brace your self and give into the moment
You've got nothing to loose so what is your excuse
Save your self's you're dying in slow motion
You've got nothing to loose so whats your excuse
Take a step back and find a way out of here
Cant you see the answer is loud and clear
Brace your self and give into the moment
You've got nothing to loose so what is your excuse
Save your self's you're dying in slow motion
You've got nothing to loose so whats your excuse
Find a way out of here...
Dreamscapes and Fantasies
Evolve into reality when passion is pursued
The passion turns professional and kills the mood
Finding symmetry, so hard to achieve
Inspiration loves misery, blue skies are turning grey
Let it rain, let it rain...
Chorus
So long, I've been waiting
Patiently you're not all alone
So lost, I've been searching
Patiently we're not all alone
Routine rituals
Physically, mentally, pressure's made for tea
Remember to appreciate the bittersweet.
Finding symmetry, so hard to achieve
Expectations test abilities, life is but a dream
And I sleep, let us see...
Chorus
So long, I've been waiting
Patiently you're not all alone
So lost, I've been searching
Patiently we're not all alone
Sleep well...all alone...sleep well
Feels like so long, I've been waiting
Patiently you're not all alone
So lost, I've been searching
Patiently we're not all alone
Please savior of here
Give me shelter from fear
I need answers to this
Crazy world that's so mixed
With this pain that leaves us
Lifeless and so dead-souled
We all need to break this mold
I'm so sure, you'll blame me for this all
What's so wrong, you claim to call this love
I'm so sure, you'll blame me for this all
What's so wrong, you claim to call this love
Drips hit the floor, who cares at all
Flesh sheared and torn, sleaves hide remorse
Stardom branded skin, traps pain within
Expectations, never reaching
I'm so sure, you'll blame me for this all
What's so wrong, you claim to call this love
I'm so sure, you'll blame me for this all
What's so wrong, you claim to call this love
I'm so sure, you'll blame me for this all
What's so wrong, you claim to call this love
I'm so sure, you'll blame me for this all
What's so wrong, you claim to call this love
(feat. Nadia Ali)
Is it stinging
the acid in your stream
Hear the ringing
voices in between
You picked this tune to play
And you had to have your way
Got your masterpiece
But you don’t seem pleased
SO HERE IT IS
CUSTOM MADE
YOU WRAPPED THE WORLD
AROUND YOUR FINGER
DID YOU TAKE ON
AN ENDLESS TOWER
HAS YOUR SPRING
TURNED INTO WINTER
YOU’RE FROZEN COLD
A ONE MAN SHOW
BUT WHO IS WATCHING?
THERE’S NO ONE WATCHING...
Now you got it
everything you asked
burned your bridges
so why you turning back
My doors won’t fit you through
Your head’s too heavy to
What could I give you now
I’m still the same tale
SO HERE IT IS
CUSTOM MADE
YOU WRAPPED THE WORLD
AROUND YOUR FINGER
WAS IT ALL
A BIG MISTAKE
HAS YOUR SPRING
TURNED INTO WINTER
YOUR IN CONTROL
A ONE MAN SHOW
BUT WHO IS WATCHING?
THERE’S NO ONE WATCHING...
SO HERE IT IS
CUSTOM MADE
YOU WRAPPED THE WORLD
AROUND YOUR FINGER
YOU’RE CLAIM TO FAME
TURNED OUT A SHAME
HAS YOUR SPRING
TURNED INTO WINTER
YOU HELD YOUR OWN
ONE MAN SHOW
BUT NO ONE’S WATCHING...
NO, NO ONE’S WATCHING...
YOU CAN’T GO BACK
AND YOU CAN’T COME BACK
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now, now
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now, now
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want a little more
You can be rest assured
You give them all you got and you give them a little more
And never even know what for
They feed and they suck until you're unconscious
It's never enough, they kill your subconscious
I'm ready to die
Will you kill what's left of me to stop the bleeding?
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now, now
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now, now
Suffocate integrity till I'm not breathing
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now, now
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now
Feed them, fucking starve them, keep begging a little more
Feed them, fucking starve them, keep begging a little more
Feed them, fucking starve them, keep begging a little more
I'm not gonna be your whore
Load it, cock it, pull it, refuse to be ignored
I'm not gonna fight your war
All the distractions kill the compassion
Suddenly fame has lost its attraction
I'm ready to die
Will you kill what's left of me to stop the bleeding?
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now, now
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now, now
Suffocate integrity till I'm not breathing
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now, now
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now
Feeding the wolves, don't you know better?
Feeding the wolves, the taste of blood is bitter
Feeding the wolves, you're feeding the wolves
Feeding the wolves, don't you know better?
Feeding the wolves, you're feeding the wolves
Feeding the wolves, the taste of blood is bitter
Will you kill what's left of me to stop the bleeding?
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now, now
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now, now
Suffocate integrity till I'm not breathing
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now, now
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now, now
Shoot it, shoot it out 'cause they want it, want it now!
The walls are closing in around us
We hold our silence like a gun
Your stare is empty and a scene that keeps repeating
And I just bite my tongue
They can't take this away, it's far from over
We cant take stay in a place we don't belong
For one more day, I'm not afraid to fall
For one more day, we try to save it all
Footsteps will fade away the memories
Unload the words and breathe again
Our eyes are focused on an unexplored horizon
And what has always been
They can't take this away, it's far from over
We cant take stay in a place we don't belong
For one more day, I'm not afraid to fall
For one more day, we try to save it all
I won't let you look back
If you will help me see clearly
They can't take this away, it's far from over
We cant take stay in a place we don't belong
For one more day, I'm not afraid to fall
For one more day, we try to save it all
For one more day, I'm not afraid to fall
For one more day, we try to save it all
She, she is the love that you make and break
And he, he is the drug that you hate to pray
Tonight I am the light of your name to praise
And you, you are the one that we want a name
Who will convince us?
The wickeds will
Who condemn us?
The Wickeds will
Who will defend us?
The wickeds will
Always
We are the wicked, the wicked, the wicked ones who adore you
The wicked, the wicked, the wicked ones will destroy you
We are the lost of your innocence
We are the wicked, the wicked, the wicked ones hurrying for you
We, we are the scar of the skin again
Massive line to wondering eyes waiting, waiting to be
Bastard eyes, manipulize
Selling clones of every kind
Who will convince us?
The wickeds will
Who condemn us?
The Wickeds will
Who will defend us?
The wickeds will
Always
We are the wicked, the wicked, the wicked ones who adore you
The wicked, the wicked, the wicked ones will destroy you
We are the lost of your innocence
We are the wicked, the wicked, the wicked ones (the wicked ones)
Kill yourself to save yourself from yourself
Kill yourself to save yourself from yourself
Kill yourself to save yourself from yourself
Before you become one of us
Before you become one of us
We are the wicked, the wicked, the wicked ones who adore you
The wicked, the wicked, the wicked ones will destroy you
We are the lost of your innocence
We are the wicked, the wicked, the wicked ones (the wicked ones)
You will become one of us
Appetites reach all time highs
No ones seems to care who dies
Prey on every little thing in sight
Decay will be killed state of mind
Anything to stay alive
Never ever show you're terrified
It's a common casualty to trust in what you see
Saints and scholars, don't even bother
The bullet in the blood came from those you love
Friendly fires, death by a liar
Dumb, deaf and blind
Fall back in line
Now is the time to open your eyes
You need it, you want, you did it, you got it
So act like you own it this time
The coma of lies comfort your mind
Your feeding the fire and bleeding desire
It's down to the wire this time
Focus now on how to gain
Loyalty from enemies
Waiting patiently for when to strike
The bullet in the blood came from those you trust
Friendly fires, death by a liar
Dumb, deaf and blind
Fall back in line
Now is the time to open your eyes
You need it, you want, you did it, you got it
So act like you own it this time
The coma of lies comfort your mind
Your feeding the fire and bleeding desire
It's down to the wire this time
Those ravenous bastards always get what their after
Those ravenous bastards always get what their after
Those ravenous bastards always get what their after
Those ravenous bastards
The virtuous ones always circle like a storm
The carnivores always rip into the cold
For merry merry more
They rip into the cold
Now is the time to open your eyes
You need it, you want, you did it, you got it
So act like you own it this time
The coma of lies comfort your mind
Your feeding the fire and bleeding desire
It's down to the wire this time
It's taken a lifetime to lose my way
A lifetime of yesterdays
All the wasted time on my hands turns to sand
And fades in the wind
Crossing lines, small crimes
Taking back what is mine
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
So lost for so long to find to my way
I failed to follow, I'm out of place
Crossing lines, small crimes
Taking back what is mine
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
No one knows the secrets that I keep
No one knows what's in my head
I can't control the other side of me
I have lost my breath
Breaking the pulse of a steady beat
Pleading for sanity
The voices calling out my name
Now I'm afraid that
I, I'm waking up the ghost
Not digging up the memories that were dead to me
Now, now I'm getting close
Closer to the enemy that's inside of me
Under the skin, the soul of the guilty
Under the surface, lonely lies
Under the weight the sin is
Eating me alive
No mercy, no forgiveness
Condemn to my own hell
The voices calling out my name
Now I'm afraid that
I, I'm waking up the ghost
Not taking out the memories that were dead to me
Now, now I'm getting close
Closer to the enemy that's inside of me
Woah, woah!
Woah, woah!
I, I'm waking up the ghost
And digging up the memories that were dead to me
I am waking up the ghost
And digging up the memories that were dead to me
Now, now I'm getting close
Closer to the enemy that's inside of me
Woah, woah!
Woah, woah!
