From the heavens I can see the world
Hardly moving
What could make it turn?
Maybe life itself
Or could it be love
Or God with a gentle shove?
I fear what I know, not what I wonder
All the weight of the world on my back finally kills me
But I know that it won't ever take me
So take your money
Right back to the hell it came
Don't wait and don't worry
I won't be standing in your way
So to hell with your money
Before you suffer the same fate
From the heavens it would seem the world
Hasn't got a care
Perfect from afar
Though it's shape may be
It's visitors are flawed
They take and still want more
I fear what I know, not what I wonder
All the weight of the world on my back finally kills me
But I know that it won't ever take me
So take your money
Right back to the hell it came
Don't wait and don't worry
I won't be standing in your way
So to hell with your money
Before you suffer the same fate
Fate
(2x)
From the heavens I can see the world
Hardly moving
Oh, would you look at what the cat
Didn't even bother dragging in.
Flirting with disaster as if it's got a heart to win.
Reality check, please.
You'd rather die than ditch the bill.
I really can't believe,
You would show your face when I say,
You've got some nerve, you've got some nerve.
Coming around here.
You better not, cause I said.
You've got some nerve, you got some nerve.
Coming around here.
It wasn't long before you flipped a U and
Head back into town.
Sipping on liquid courage,
Hoping more than it goes down.
Go on and make a scene.
Let's rubber-neck, cause what's to lose?
I really can't believe, you would show your face
When I said.
You've got some nerve, you've got some nerve.
Coming around here.
You better not, cause I said.
You've got some nerve, you got some nerve.
Coming around here.
You better not, when I said go.
Can we turn that page?
But they can't be erased.
There's a reason they all say...
You've got some nerve, you've got some nerve.
You've got some nerve, you've got some nerve.
You've got some nerve, you've got some nerve.
You've got some nerve, you've got some nerve.
Coming around here.
You better not, when I said.
All you're denying, is never far from violent.
Conserving all this.
I've said enough, so don't be
Coming around here.
Smoke fills the sky in the blink of an eye,
Staring from the streets below
I witness thousands die
In this moment, I see this world for what it is
You, you don't know pain, allow me to introduce you
In fact I'll fuel this fire, watch it burn
I'd like to see your God try and save you now
Save us now
The smoke will clear or so it appears
It carries into further years, every year to come
This is no memory, no this means war
I'm sure it's all you want and more
You, you don't know pain, allow me to introduce you
In fact I'll fuel this fire, watch it burn
I'd like to see your God try and save you now
Save us now
I've been here for a while still I see
You people are a cancer, we're the cure
So consider yourselves cured
You, you don't know pain, allow me to introduce you
In fact I'll fuel this fire, watch it burn
I'd like to see your God try and save you now
Save us now
You and I up against the world.
Your money's on them.
Leaving me to fend for my own.
You just wait for the K.O.
Plug me into that life support.
Singing me flat lines.
Hear it call, the ring,
here I come.
Dead on arrival.
Well, heaven be waiting to take me out.
What happened to showing me some mercy?
Cause all that I am, and all that I can be
Is a man, not knowing what I am
Up against.
Pull me out of this rut I'm in.
I'm digging six feet down.
I'm gonna make a mark if it means
Feeding the earth from which I came.
Well, heaven be waiting to take me out.
What happened to showing me some mercy?
Cause all that I am, and all that I can be
Is a man, not knowing what I am...
Up against this town, feeling like
This is our routine of life.
I feel that eye zeroing on me.
Ohh, knew it then, know it now
Hasn't changed, it never will.
I'm just a man, don't know who I am.
You and I up against the world.
Down for the count.
Could it be that we've lost a nerve.
Or simply unable.
Well, heaven be waiting to take me out.
What happened to showing me some mercy?
Cause all that I am, and all that I can be
Is a man, not knowing what I am...
Up against this town, feeling like
This is our routine of life.
I feel that eye zeroing on me.
Ohh, knew it then, know it now
Hasn't changed, it never will.
I'm just a man, don't know who I am.
I know your innocent
I know you’re everything
I could only hope to be…
I know the real you
I know you’re just a fake
But why do I still wait?
Just bury your lies and tell me it’s all right
I’m all right now…I’m finally breathing
And soon to be feeling alive
I see beyond your eyes
And into your poisoned mind
Where all our troubles lie
Haven’t you had enough?
Cause I’m dying now
But maybe there’s still hope…if you could
Bury your lies and tell me it’s all right
I’m all right now…I’m finally breathing
And soon to be feeling alive
So bury your lies and tell me it’s all right
I’m all right now…I’m finally breathing
And soon to be feeling so alive
And now I’m alive
So let it go
I know your innocent
I know you’re everything
I could only hope to be…
I know the real you
This is the real you
So here’s the real you
So don’t fake your innocence
Bury your lies and tell me it’s all right
I’m all right now…I’m finally breathing
And soon to be feeling alive
So bury your lies and tell me it’s all right
I’m all right now…I’m finally breathing
And soon to be feeling so alive
I’m finally breathing and soon to be feeling so alive
Well I know not to lose it,
But aren't you in the bullet.
I can't wait to say 'enough is enough, cough it up and use it.'
I'm keeping composure, my blood's boiling over.
We've been through push to shove,
Now the gloves are off, hit me like you mean it.
To justify my loss of self control,
I know I probably should just let it go.
Yeahh yeahh,
I'm gonna have my revenge, you can count on it.
Yeahh yeahh,
I'm gonna even the score, you'll be getting yours
Yeahh yeahh,
If I forgive and forget, you'll do it again.
The hits keep coming, the hits keep coming.
So bygones are bygones, but never for too long.
We shuffle the dirt, without knowing first
Nothing ever stays buried.
So dig up our corpses
And stir a commotion.
We've been through push to shove,
Now the gloves are off, hit me like you mean it.
Yeahh yeahh,
I'm gonna have my revenge, you can count on it.
Yeahh yeahh,
I'm gonna even the score, you'll be getting yours
Yeahh yeahh,
If I forgive and forget, you'll do it again.
The hits keep coming, the hits keep coming.
Keep coming, the hits keep coming
You've found your way and up my skin,
I finally know it's over.
But when I've just decide it's best
I'll take the means to make her.
I know I probably should just let it go
Yeahh yeahh,
I'm gonna have my revenge, you can count on it.
Yeahh yeahh,
I'm gonna even the score, you'll be getting yours
Yeahh yeahh,
If I forgive and forget, you'll do it again.
The hits keep coming, the hits keep coming.
Keep coming, the hits keep coming,
The hits keep coming, the hits keep on coming
How long until I find the strength
To lift this lover's curse
'Cause in my head its surfaced
But otherwise unearthed
And superstitions got me thinking
When will it all end?
I wish this curse on no one
When she walks inside my world youll know it
Call me crazy if I try
Youre prob'ly right
When she walks inside my world youll know it
Call me crazy if I try,
'Cause I know youre right
When she walks inside
And I wait until I find the strength
To break this lovers curse
'Cause in my head its ruptured
But clearly never burst
And you wont find
My cure anytime soon
So let these days be numbered
When she walks inside my world youll know it
Call me crazy if I try
Youre prob'ly right
When she walks inside my world youll know it
Call me crazy if I try,
'Cause I know youre right
(2x)
You're right
When she walks inside
How long until I find the strength
To lift this lover's curse?
'Cause in my head its surfaced
In my head its surfaced
(3x)
Then she walked inside
(Then she walked inside my world)
Then she walked inside, yeah
Can you feel the tension in the air?
Assuring you once agian I'm there
'Cause you break my trust, you break my heart
I'll break your fall
Your fall
So I lied,
Don't say you've done the same without a smile upon your face
'Cause once you've but tasted of this fruit that lay,
A serpent's swayed your ways
Which brings me to my next thought,
Walk these roads as crooked as they be
So I lied, and so we lie
Can you feel the tension in the air?
Assuring you once again I'm there
'Cause you break my trust, you break my heart
I break your fall
And so I lie,
This time I face the sky without a smile, without a trace.
I don't just see blue I choose to.
With still no sign of you.
Which brings me to my next thought,
Don't be fooled by the cunning ways of the truth.
And so I lied, and so we lie.
Weakened knees,
Belong to those who find it hard to believe,
But so intrigued.
By the thought of someone, somehow, meeting their needs
By the thought of someone, somewhere, meeting our needs.
Without tension in the air
Assuring you once again I'm there
You break my trust, you break my heart
I break your fall
Your fall
Your fall
Your fall
But can you feel the tension in the air?
Assuring you once again I'm there
'Cause you break my trust, you break my heart
I'll break your fall
(You break my trust) your fall (so I lied)
(You break my heart) your fall (so I lied)
Now break your fall
I must admit, I lived in ignorant bliss for so long and loved every minute.
But I've recently been rudely awakened by reality.
With no call or knock you barged in and I demanded it stop
Skip the foreplay, it had its way with me.
Cause we're all so far from home,
Reaping more than we have sewn.
And we won't be let back in.
We're banished from the end.
I wasn't released, asked politely to leave
Escorted with doors held open.
But rather, thrown out and blacklisted for eternity.
Well you can count on me dropping names
I'm desperate, please return me
To sweet oblivion, ohhh.
Cause we're all so far from home,
Reaping more than we have sewn.
And we won't be let back in.
We're banished from the end.
Only time could heal these wounds,
Only time could heal these wounds.
Even when I tried, I couldn't leave.
You held the key, but I was never a prisoner.
You knew when the time came I'd know,
And you'd let me go,
but embrace me one last time.
Right before the fall of men, heyy
Cause we're all so far from home,
Maybe further than we know
And we won't be let back in.
We're banished from the end.
Cause we're all so far from home,
I saw you dance in the flames,
But somehow you walked out unscathed.
Slip down your way through the minefield,
By a foot and slit Achilles' heels.
Kissing curves and time bombs
Blowing your mind without going off.
Of nine, you got one life left to go.
This time you won't need to worry at all.
Cause this is your surefire shot, don't miss.
Under the gun, but for once on the other side of it.
Taking now what you want and it's yours...
for the taking.
Like a war won without waging.
Just when I thought that your luck was spent,
You dodge another bullet.
Count your blessings, even those are second guessing.
Cause of nine there's one life left to go.
This time you won't need to worry at all
Cause this is your surefire shot, don't miss.
Under the gun, but for once on the other side of it.
Taking now what you want.
It's your surefire shot, don't miss
Under the gun, but for once you're a force to be reckoned with.
Taking now what you want and it's yours.
Knocked down the odds stacked against you.
Before you sound off that surrender,
Size up the forces against you
Before you drop down to your knees.
Believe me, I can say with certainty.
Cause this is your surefire shot, don't miss.
Under the gun, but for once on the other side of it.
Taking now what you want.
It's your surefire shot, don't miss
Under the gun, but for once you're a force to be reckoned with.
Taking now what you want (believe me)
Taking now what you want (believe me)
I’ve been wandering in disarray
Walking off the pain
That you heal then reopen the wound
Let the stretcher carry me away
Though it’s such a shame
I would hope you would fill in my shoes
Should I let you? I don’t think you’re ready to go
If I let you, I don’t think you’re ready to know
If I let you, I don’t think you’re ready to go
If I meant to
Then could you stop me?
Whenever I tell you that I’m all right
I know I’ll make everything look just fine
Oh, if you wonder what it feels like
Stop me when you’ve had enough
I’ve been wandering in disarray
Walking off the pain that you heal
Then re-open the wound
Let the stretcher carry me away
Though it’s such a shame
I would hope you would fill in my shoes
Should I let you? I don’t think you’re ready to go
If I let you, I don’t think you’re ready to know
If I let you, I don’t think you’re ready to go
If I meant to
Then could you stop me, whenever I tell you that I’m all right
I know I’ll make everything look just fine
Oh, if you wonder what it feels like
Stop me when you’ve had enough
Stop me whenever I tell you that I’m all right
I’ll make everything look just fine
Oh, if you wonder what it feels like
Could you trust me?
Whenever I tell you that I’m all right
I’ll make everything look just fine
Oh, if you wonder what it feels like
Picture me, on stages final act
Wish I could save the best for las
Picture this, the curtain begins to fall
But not before blunt objects are thrown at me
Hold me down no more
Hold me down no more
Picture me, in the spotlight all by myself
My visions obscured by the bright lights above me
Picture this, I stumble until I fall
I leave it to you to rain on my parade
Hold me down no more
Hold me down no more
And I see you
One with the audience,
Making it obvious
This isn't where I belong
And I know that the show must go on
so I swallow my pride
and wait for this curtain to fall
To fall, oh
To fall, oh
Hold me down no more
Hold me down no more
And I see you
One with the audience
Making it obvious
This isn't where I belong, no
And I know that the show must go on
So I swallow my pride
And wait for this curtain to fall
And I see you
One with the audience
Making it obvious
I'm listening even closer now
Was never said to catch my attention
The right answer's far from what I wanna hear
But now it's so clear, so clear…
So clear to me.
(Whoa oh oh oh oh)
You wasted no time in taking it away
I can imagine how one's filled with such apathy
And I know I never could seem
To get my point across was never easy
And it's worthless to follow me
These clouded thoughts have over taken me
You're resisting this even more now
Open your eyes to find a solution
The right answer's far from what I wanna hear
But now it's so clear, so clear…
So clear to me.
(Whoa oh oh oh oh)
You wasted no time in taking it away
I can imagine how one's filled with such apathy
And I know I never could seem
To get my point across was never easy
And it's worthless to follow me
These clouded thoughts have over taken me
And giving in has changed everything
These clouded thoughts have over taken me
Taken me…
So clear, so clear to me
(Whoa oh oh oh oh)
You wasted no time in taking it away
I can imagine how one's filled such apathy
And I know I never could seem
To get my point across was never easy
And it's worthless to follow me
A candle lights my way
As I search for more than a common face
But slowly my hope fades
Along with this dyin' flame
For all I know we've only just begun
But where do we begin?
'Cause I find you here left for dead
So could you show a sign of life?
A sign of life
Show a sign of life
'Cause I won't carry your dead weight alone
Despite the light deprived
I carry on into the unknown
For all I know we've only just begun
But where do we begin?
'Cause I find you here left for dead
So could you show a sign of life?
For all I know we have only just begun
I dont even know where to begin (where do we begin?)
I find you here battered and just left for dead
Could you show a sign of life?
For all I know (for all I know) we have only just begun
I dont even know where to begin (where do we begin?)
I find you here (find you here) battered and just left for dead
Could you show a sign of life?
Take this song of love
Disfigure it in any way you can
While you have your chance,
All the lights and sounds that guide you
Have burned out or faded away.
And the so called voice of reason
Has turned out to lead you astray.
We can go through the motions
Like we've done all along.
But if you're minds made up
I know that either way you're gone.
So say what you will.
Say what you want to.
It could be a lie, and it's alright.
Say what you will.
Say what you need to.
Cause there might not be a next time.
So tell me are you ready?
Are you ready?
To never again say what you will.
When it feels your world just sold you,
I'll be there to take you in.
Your canary through the coal mine
Giving you the go ahead.
We can go through the motions,
You know I'll play along.
But if you try to deny me,
Then you're already gone.
So say what you will.
Say what you want to.
It could be a lie and it's alright
Say what you will.
Say what you need to.
Cause there might not be a next time.
So tell me are you ready?
Are you ready?
To never again say what you will.
Well, don't just stand there reaching,
Force your hand to meet mine.
Or take that chance and leave
Cause this could be the last time.
Are you ready?
Say what you will.
Say what you want to.
It could be a lie and it's alright.
Say what you will.
Say what you need to.
Cause there might not be a next time.
Or you can take that chance and leave,
Cause this could be the last time
To never again say what you will.
Head in the clouds, feet on the ground,
Earth falling out beneath me, fire in the sky
Singing my brow, it's nowhere safe.
Take me where I'm weightless
Up there in outer space.
From up here, everything below is peaceful.
I'm sincere, when I say I truly miss home.
Physics is a bitch cause I'm up now,
But eventually I gotta come down.
Gimmie one good reason
not to reach those heights again.
Gimmie one good reason
Cause I'm finally nearing the end.
So will you be there,
Whenever I do come down
Will you be there?
A moment's peace, a sigh of relief
Not but what-ifs and maybes unanswered,
While on my feet.
So pick me up, take me to far reaches
While astronomers eyes are shut.
Cause I'm here, I'm shaking in the distance.
No fear, blanked out of existence
Physics is a bitch, the higher I get
The faster and farther I plummet.
Gimmie one good reason
Not to reach those heights again.
Gimmie one good reason
Cause I'm finally nearing the end.
Make me believe I shouldn't risk it all again.
Gimmie one good reason
Cause I'm finally over the edge.
So will you be there,
Whenever I do come down
Will you be there?
Head in the clouds,
Feet on the ground.
Earth falling out,
Never come down...
Gimmie one good reason
Not to reach those heights again.
Gimmie one good reason
Cause I'm finally nearing the end.
Make me believe I shouldn't risk it all again.
Gimmie one good reason
Cause I'm finally over the edge.
So will you be there,
Whenever I do come down
Will you be there?
Slowly, I have made my way
I’ve listened to what you say
Regardless of my history
The past is still haunting me
And I try to be rational
And see this as technical
And I hope that you see this my way
I’m aching, trying to explain
But I’m left with a head strain
It’s seeping more into my head
I wish it would leave instead
And I’m trying to remain calm
Or grounded at any cost(?)
Still you never cease to amaze me
[Chorus:]
Try not to over react
That keeps me floor run intact(?)
Nobody is listening to you
Slowly, I have made my way
I’ve listened to what you say
Regardless of my history
The past is still haunting me
And I try to be rational
You’re making this difficult
And I hope you see this my way
[Chorus x2]
Try not to over react
Nobody is listening to you
Try not to over react
Nobody is listening to you
Your words forever embedded in
My head but never entrusted
Hey analyst, try to make some sense of this
I know it's hard, believe me
You swore to never be bitter when
The odds were favoring elsewhere
Perfectionist try to make the best of this
I know it's hard 'cause we barely made it through winter
We barely made it through winter
Pleading
Not guilty
So don't be
Waiting to throw the first stone
Not guilty,
Not guilty
Your words, burned in my memory
Third degree and getting hotter each and every day
The enemy, closer than a friend to me
Please make yourself feel at home
You swore to make amends orderly
Then turned and killed the acquitted
The enemy, dangling me on a string
I know it's hard pleading
Not guilty
So don't be
Waiting to throw the first stone
Not guilty,
So don't be
Reaching for more
'Cause I know you will, you have before
And I have turned my cheek enough to know
You better pray the next one kills me
So pray the next one
We barely made it through winter (2x)
Pleading
Not guilty
So don't be
Waiting to throw the first stone
Not guilty,
So don't be
Reaching for more
Pleading
Not guilty
So don't be
Waiting to throw the first stone
Not guilty
I feel my hope is slowly dying
Turn around cuz I might start crying
Every second of every day
You have no shame, no shame
I'm on my back keeping muscle at a steady pace
Everybody seems to think life is a low risk
Got to get you out to the real world before anybody else does
[Chorus:]
Welcome to my world knowing that there's nothing I can do
I'm in over my head
I witness everyday how ignorant some people can be
Have you no shame? No shame…
I'm trying to show you that your life's misguided
I could have given in so why should I fight it?
I know you're wishing you could change this picture of its dirty frame
And rearrange
And I'm not hyper, you don't show any aggression
Learning the hard way will loosen the tension
Try and grasp the concept for your own sake
[Chorus]
No shame…
When I hear you say, 'it's either me or the music',
It's like choosing a way to die.
If I'm faced with this, it's take it or leave it
Then I'm leaving
I gave you rhythm and it started to beat like a heart.
And that's when a soul gets a start.
Got to singing cause I knew it would breathe in some life
To my own Frankenstein.
Cause the blood that's pumping through
Those veins is mine.
The tears that rolling, started in my eyes.
So when I hear you say, 'it's either me or the music'
It's like choosing a way to die.
If I'm faced with this, it's take it or leave it
Then I know which I'm leaving behind.
'It's me or the music'. ohh
And I've got to choose.
'Take it or leave it'
Then I'm leaving, and taking the music with me.
I gave it movement just to name it a piece of me.
Like a rib out of Adam or Eve.
When I'm dead and you only got nothing more to say.
It's my voice from the grave.
Cause the tongue that's speaking through those teeth is mine.
Whether it be haunting, I'm singing you deeper into sleep with every line.
So when I hear you say, 'it's either me or the music'
It's like choosing a way to die.
If I'm faced with this, it's take it or leave it
Then I know which I'm leaving behind.
'It's me or the music'. ohh
And I've got to choose.
'Take it or leave it'
Then I'm leaving,
and taking the music with me.
I'm gone
I gave it rhythm and it started to beat like a heart.
And that's when a soul gets a start.
Though it may not be literally flesh and bones,
I treat it as one of my own, ohh.
So when I hear you say, 'it's either me or the music'
It's like choosing a way to die.
If I'm faced with this, it's take it or leave it
Then I know which I'm leaving behind.
'It's me or the music'. ohh
And I've got to choose.
'Take it or leave it'
Got your back, you've got mine,
We take up arms, fight along each other's side
You're scared and that's all right,
We're gonna make it, I know we'll make it
Are you with me or them, yeah
Cover me I'm going in
Hey, whose side are you on anyways?
No in between, no lukewarm
So, please, you're either for me or against me
You're treasonous, I know
A giveaway when you let true colors show
You're safe with them for now
You better hail me when I come around
Hold your breath, let it out (ha)
Cover up all of your doubt
Hey, whose side are you on anyways?
No in between, no lukewarm
So, please, you're either for me or against me
(2x)
Or against me
I've been there and I've done that
Oh you know I have
Been there and I've played that game
Everyone's a winner
Believe in me as I once believed in you
Together we can't lose
Hey, whose side are you on anyways?
No in between, no lukewarm
So, please, you're either for me or against me, yeah
Hey, whose side are you on anyways?
No in between, no lukewarm
So, please, you're either for me or against me
Or against me
Or against me, yeah
Here’s your free ride
Hurry hang on for dear life
As it takes you nowhere
If we live and we learn
Then why do we test this flame?
When we know its gonna burn
So take a chance or you’ll never know
Would you rather live your life wondering
Who could ever say no to this, to this
Are you happy now
Don’t say its not worth dying for
Cause you’ll be coming back for more
Last chance, don’t choke
You could hang on or let go
Either way we all fall
Don't fight the feeling
When it comes so lame
Don’t fight the feeling…
Its more than you can take
So take a chance or you’ll never know
Would you rather live your life wondering
Who could ever say no to this feeling
Are you happy now
Don’t say its not worth dying for
Cause you’ll be coming back for more
I wouldn’t lie, there’s no need
Cause soon you’ll know just what I mean
You’ll know just what I mean
Here’s your free ride
Hurry hang on for dear life
As it takes you nowhere
If we live and we learn
Then why do we test this flame?
It always burns
Don’t fight the feeling
Don't fight the feeling
Its more than you can take
Don't fight the feeling
When it comes so lame
Don't fight the feeling
Are you happy now
Don’t say its not worth dying for
Cause you’ll be crawling back for more
I wouldn’t lie, there’s no need
Cause soon you’ll know just what I mean
To wake up and be here means one more year
I've been longing for that road
And it means that road be marked with what I fear
Then I'd say, bring on the suffering.
But surely I'd be walking, I sure as hell can't drive unless you
Come along for the ride
Leave it all behind, leave it all in ruins for all I care.
For all we care.
Don't look back, just keep driving.
Don't stop no just keep striving.
And don't say that we've seen better days
Cause we haven't seen a thing, we haven't seen a thing.
And at the break of day, in our case noon
We'll scale that open road
Cause here the hopeless thrive
And all our dreams are shot out of the sky
But they won't die if we...
Don't look back, just keep driving.
Don't stop no just keep striving.
And don't say that we've seen better days
Cause we haven't seen a thing, we haven't seen a thing.
And some day when we're just a myth in town
I want you to know, I want you to remember
that friends do last forever, last forever
So don't you ever change, no...
Don't look back, just keep driving.
Don't stop no just keep striving.
And don't say that we've seen better days
Cause we haven't seen a thing, we haven't seen a thing.
Do do do do do do, yeah
do do do do do do do, we haven't seen a thing
Do do do do do do, yeah
To Hard to believe
And it still hasn't hit me
Confusion as to how I feel
And I need to be shown
The direction I should go
Take everything and never be the same
Manipulated minds and suffering
Trying to hold back all of these feelings
I'm blinded by hate and misery
To afraid to face reality
It seems so unreal but I can't deny
These of thoughts of you that still remain in my mind
Realizing that your never coming back
And that's the way we left it
And that's the way it's dealt with
No where, no where to go but down
There's too much to take and there's no way
I could ever imagine how I feel today
And still you pretend that it's nothing new
As if all this doesn't concern you
But still I picture you, in memory
And I just can't believe
This is really happening
That one's mind could so corrupted
Take it all away
And never feel the same
There were days when her words held some worth in a story.
Talk is cheap, so I'm buying whatever she tells me.
She said 'I'll see you back at home, I'm going for a night drive'.
Where she goes alone, at a quarter after midnight,
I don't wanna know where she really goes.
Cause I've been here before,
Longing for just another lose.
And I've been where you are,
Getting caught up in the moment
And losing.
It's a lie, it's a dangerous game that you're playing.
Then again, who am I to say I've never played it?
She said 'I'll see you back at home, I'm going for a night drive'.
Where she goes alone, at a quarter after midnight,
I don't wanna know where she really goes.
Cause I've been here before,
Longing for just another lose.
And I've been where you are,
Getting caught up in the moment
And losing.
I've been here before, haven't we all?
And I've been where you are,
And we fell for more... ohhhh
She said 'I'll see you back at home, I'm going for a night drive'.
Where she goes alone, at a quarter after midnight,
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna hear it,
I don't wanna hear it, I don't wanna hear it.
I don't wanna hear you lock the door,
From the moment I shut my eyes.
Heels on the floor when you come in with the sunrise
I don't wanna know where she goes.
Cause I've been here before,
Longing for just another lose
And I've been where you are
Getting caught up in the moment
And losing.
I've been here before, haven't we all?
Yeah I've been where you are, and we fell for more.
Just walk away, see if he cares
It's such a sad story, I know, dont say I didnt tell you so
I told you so
Fixing his eyes on her he knows that this
Won't take him very long
'Cause after all this night is still young
She slowly but surely drinks her mind away,
Hes making sure of it
Just one more sip hell be dragging you home
Home
Just walk away, see if he cares
Its such a sad story, I know, dont say I didnt tell you so
Hey, yeah
She staggers aimlessly who knows what hes
Plotting inside his head,
Soon enough everyone will know
When this is over, do you think my advice
Would help you somehow?
Just cry me a river as if you dont look so pathetic now
Just walk away, see if he cares
Its such a sad story, I know, dont say I didnt tell you so
(I told you so)
Hey, yeah
Just walk away, see if he cares
(Just walk away)
Its such a sad story, I know, dont say I didnt tell you so
Hey, yeah
Just walk away, yeah (2x)
Just walk away, see if he cares
(Just walk away)
Its such a sad story, I know, dont say I didnt tell you so
(I told you so)
Hey, walk away, see if he cares
(Just walk away)
We work in secret
Waiting 'til the time is right and no one's around
I swear we mean well, all you do is sign the line before we begin
You have my word he won't feel a thing
I know you love him
But don't get too attached, it's wrong, you gave him a name
The time is nearing
Second thoughts are natural but soon you'll give in
Go home tonight and sleep on it
But how do you sleep at night?
Do you toss and turn and pray for morning?
What if it never came?
And how do you sleep at night?
Do you toss and turn and pray for morning?
What if it never came?
You said you'll kill him
I should have known you'd lack the spine
So thank God for mine
Just close your eyes and don't wake
But how do you sleep at night?
Do you toss and turn and pray for morning?
What if it never came?
And how do you sleep at night?
Do you toss and turn and pray for morning?
What if it never came?
Came
Waiting for the tide to rise
And wash them away
Deep into a watery grave
Ah, ah, ah, oh
But how do you sleep at night?
Do you toss and turn and pray for morning?
What if it never came?
And how do you sleep at night?
Do you toss and turn and pray for morning?
What if it never came?
And how do you sleep at night?
Do you toss and turn and pray for morning?
What if it never came, oh, oh?
And how do you sleep at night?
Do you toss and turn and pray for morning?
What if it never came, hey, yeah?
And how do you sleep at night?
Do you toss and turn and pray for morning?
Do you pray for morning?
Pray for morning
And how do you sleep at night?
Do you toss and turn and pray for morning?
What if it never came, yeah?
And how do you sleep at night?
Do you toss and turn and pray for morning?
Once everything’s been said and done
I’m still out thinking you’re the one
Your voice is staining through my head
Repeating yourself once again
This lack of trust we share
Is breaking me, breaking me down
Still not sure where the line is drawn
And don’t be hesitating
When I need your reply the most
A desperate, worthless try
We go through this all the time
I’m hanging on to your every word
Do my opinions go unheard?
This lack of trust we share
Is breaking me, breaking me down
Still not sure where the line is drawn
And don’t be hesitating
When I need your reply the most
Don’t turn this all on me
I may be the enemy
Did the thought ever cross your mind
To leave all of this behind
This lack of trust we share
Is breaking me, breaking me down
Still not sure where the line is drawn
Once everything’s been said and done
I’m left thinking that you’re the one
It’s too late, no turning back
Next time I’ll think before I act
This lack of trust we share
Is breaking me, breaking me down
Still not sure where the line is drawn
And don’t be hesitating
When I need your reply the most
Don’t turn this all on me
I may be the enemy
Did the thought ever cross your mind
To leave all of this behind
This lack of trust we share
Is breaking me, breaking me down
Still not sure where the line is drawn
Of all my desperate tries
I had to make things right
And I take a deep breath
And sit back to reflect
I need a way out
And don’t be hesitating
When I need your reply the most
Don’t turn this all on me
I may be the enemy
Did the thought ever cross your mind
To leave all of this behind
This lack of trust we share
Is breaking me, breaking me down
Still not sure where the line is drawn
This lack of trust we share
Is breaking me, breaking me down
Make way for the few left of their kind
If any are left at all?
Cuz it's not the same
In this day and age
I'm sure they prefer to stay in sum
One thing we love more than heroes to hail
Is watching them fail
But I believe, there's a hero inside of all of us
Waiting to show the world what they have
Hold on just a second longer
I'll get to you if gravity wouldn't mind
And bend the rules tonight
You knew it was never wrong of me
To see myself up their with heroes in flight
May this world be aligned
Cuz god knows there's enough wrong any(way) without the high, can you show?
But I believe, there's a hero inside of all of us
Waiting to show the world what they have
And I believe, there's a hero inside of me somewhere
The question is does she, and will I prove to be it?
Just say my name, and I'll be there to save you
Cuz I know
Destiny lies, far beyond
Oh...
Where I need it most, but I will
Go...
Where my heart leads
Don't you ever turn your back on love
Ohh...
I believe, there's a hero inside of all of us
Waiting to show the world what they have
I believe, there's a hero inside of me, yeah
But does she?
And will I prove to be it?
I hope so
If there's an opportunity (yeah), will I choose to seize it?
I share the burdens carried on the heart of one in need knowing,
I'm weighed down as well
And I don't question my direction but intentions for this saving
Slowly losing this heart
And now what have I done?
My reach, falling short just when you needed me
And I won't bring myself to care
Forgive me, I rely on my own knowing
And we see where it's takin' me
I share the burdens carried on the heart of one in need knowing,
I'm weighed down as well
And I don't question my direction but intentions for this saving
Slowly losing this heart
And now what have I done?
My reach, falling short just when you needed me
And I won't bring myself to care
Forgive me, I rely on my own knowing
And we see
That this bridge is burning
And I don't wish to smother it, but get warm
Yeah, this bridge is burning
And I don't wish to smother it, but get warm
And now what have I done?
My reach, falling short just when you needed me
And I won't bring myself to care
Forgive me, I rely on my own knowing
And we see
Lord, what have I done?
My reach, obtaining only that which could end me
So don't be caught in crossfire
Forgive me, I rely on my own knowing
So you wanted fame,
Well you got your way
I hope it's everything you've dreamed of
'Cause soon enough you'll see
Where your style leads,
Costing you those you love to get there
Wherever you are, home isn't far
So don't run, face it
And don't fight, embrace it
Don't you ever lose your faith
'Cause you're always the one to enlighten me
So you want some more
Well go ahead it's yours
I know you love to rob the glory from a God above
Hey get off your phone Mr. Hollywood,
The world is yours now for the taking
So don't run, face it
And don't fight, embrace it
Don't you ever lose your faith
'Cause you're always the one to enlighten me
Yeah, you're always the one to enlighten me, yeah
You're always the one to enlighten me
But how many times will they write rhymes about easy chicks and getting high forever?
If we all sing 'cause misery loves company, so
Don't run, face it
And don't fight, embrace it
Don't you ever lose your faith
'Cause you're always the one to enlighten me
'Cause you're always the one to enlighten me
Yeah, you're always the one to enlighten me
Take this ordinary mind
And do anything you can
To shape it into something else, whatever helps
Taint this simpleton you see, and oppress him with such ease
Stop at nothing to express your superiority
(Is it just me)
Take these flaws you love to hate
And continue your despise
They’ll never guess your only full of lies
Full of lies
Taken for a fool I know but if you take a closer look
Could you consider that everything you look past
Could be seen as being something so unique
Crowded, can I get some air in here
cause for so long I’ve been so
shrouded just like the rest of them
the rest of them
Take this ordinary mind
And do anything you can
To shape it into something else, whatever helps
Taint this simpleton you see, and oppress him with such ease
Do you feel in control or could it simply be your role
Who could disagree its getting so
Crowded, can I get some air in here
cause for so long I’ve been so
shrouded just like the rest of them
the rest of them
(is it just me
Is it just me)
Or is it crowded, can I get some air in here
cause for so long I’ve been so
shrouded just like the rest of them
the rest of them
crowded, can I get some air in here
cause for so long I’ve been so
shrouded just like the rest of them
Everlasting yet reaching the end, could you define this?
'Cause I know that I won't be relieved with closure, closure
Closure that never came, never will, I cant deny this
Though denial is all that could bring you closer
Farewell to a bitter heart, a bitter soul, the bitter love out of control
But I could never be through
With chasing you, oh
You bring me peace or you piece me apart, I cant decide which
Either way it could only be found if I dig down, dig down
So I dig down and still at it now comin' up empty handed
Only you could fill this crater Ive dug now
So farewell to a bitter heart, a bitter soul, the bitter love out of control
But I could never be through
With chasing you
Farewell to a bitter heart, a bitter soul, the bitter love out of control
But you know I won't be through
With chasing you
With chasing you
Farewell to a bitter heart, a bitter soul, the bitter love out of control
But I could never be through
With chasing you
Farewell to a bitter heart, a bitter soul, the bitter love
But you know I won't be through
Home,
Where the midnight fireflies glow
And shed some light
On things you outta know
But for whatever reason don't, leave it so
Could you just close your eyes and,
Let the heartache in release,
All those tears you hid
Let go of what passed you up
And tear down every wall in this cursed ground
Each brick is music to your ears at the sound
Somewhere there's a ripple in the wake of this tragedy
That caries you to calmer waters
Run to the aid of the very one that kept you here
Simply out of love
As if your souls not capable, of any wrong
Could you just close your eyes and,
Let the heartache in release,
All those tears you hid,
Let go, of what passed you up
And tear down every wall in this cursed ground
Each brick is music to your ears at the sound
Somewhere there's a ripple in the wake of this tragedy
That caries you to calmer waters
Could you just close your eyes and,
Let the heartache in release,
All those tears you hid,
Let go, of what passed you up
And tear down every wall in this cursed ground
Each brick is music to your ears at the sound
Somewhere there's a ripple in the wake of this tragedy
That caries you to calmer waters
That caries you to calmer waters
Tell me Adriana
Do you see me through the TV screen
Or hear me through the magazine
Professing love like I've never felt
For someone that I don't know
Though I believe in love at first sight
Ever since you arrived

I want to whisk you away
I want to whisk you away

But waking up swearing that your still here
