|
Yeah, can you hear the call in our rambling land?
Susurrations that can expand
Beyond all hope of light
And plunge us into unrelenting night.
A pall on truth and reason,
It feels like hunting season,
So avoid those lines of sight
And we'll set this right.
Welcome to the new dark ages.
Yeah, I hope you're living right.
These are the new dark ages
And the world might end tonight.
Now come ye children, one and all,
Let's heed Ezekiel's call
And bide until the word is good and ripe,
Then get plucked clean out of sight.
The world will be erased.
Our kin will be immaculate, ejaculate in space,
Before the King of Kings' love, He'll snatch us from above.
Brothers, help me sing it.
Welcome to the new dark ages.
Yeah, I hope you're living right.
These are the new dark ages
And the world might end tonight.
So how do you sleep?
There's nothing to keep.
This is deep.
Because we're animals
With golden rules who,
Who can't be moved
By rational views, yeah.
Welcome to the new dark ages.
I hope you're living right.
(Welcome to the new dark ages.)
Say it again, yeah.
These are the new dark ages.
I hope you're living right.
(Welcome to the new dark ages)
And the world might end tonight.
Oratory of hope and glory, a whisper and a rhyme,
An effigy, a soldier out of time.
Citizen and patriot, you can't be far behind;
The funeral, weighting heavy on your mind.
(Requiem) bring the dissident from slumber.
(Requiem) raise the rebel from its grave.
(Requiem) sound the revolution's thunder,
A monumental blunder, averted and betrayed.
Dig around the cemetery, a record of the day,
Friends and neighbours in stages of decay.
But the saddest thing of all eludes discovery,
The stimulus of this sombre ceremony.
(Requiem) bring the dissident from slumber.
(Requiem) raise the rebel from its grave.
(Requiem) sound the revolution's thunder,
A monumental blunder, averted and betrayed.
The sanctimonious minions, how they grovel at the feet.
Authority is populist deceit.
Pity yet another casualty's demoralized decline,
Just a victim of irrational design.
Requiem.
Requiem.
Requiem.
Bring the dissident from slumber.
(Requiem) raise the rebel from its grave.
(Requiem) sound the revolution's thunder,
A monumental blunder, averted and betrayed.
"Prodigal Son"
Oh, can't you feel the nostalgia?
I wonder about you, Modernistocrat Horatio Alger.
Clever, never hesitating in the baiting,
Ever waiting for the canticle of manacles abating.
Did you ever forget you had a regret?
And what you only guessed at
Might still be waiting?
When the prodigal son, with a caroming shadow of hate,
Comes to land at home,
Well he's a mourning star with a champagne heart
At his curtain call.
And father never understood the way
The work gets done.
Don't look at me, no, I ain't one,
No prodigal son.
Don't look at me, no, I ain't one,
No prodigal son.
When everybody about is ready to bout you
About controversial values,
Don't you think you'd better readdress the level
Of the cowardice rising to drown you?
Did you ever connect or come to reject
Or even inspect
The dreams that hound you?
When the prodigal son, with a caroming shadow of hate,
Comes to land at home,
Well he's a mourning star with a champagne heart
At his curtain call.
And father never understood the way
The work gets done.
Don't look at me, no, I ain't one,
No prodigal son.
Don't look at me, no, I ain't one,
No prodigal son.
When you least expect it,
He's going to run
Like the blood red path
Of the western sun, oh yeah.
The prodigal son is waiting,
Waiting for his moment to come.
Well hell no, don't look at me,
Can't you see, I ain't one,
No prodigal son.
Don't look at me, no, I ain't one,
No prodigal son.
"The Grand Delusion"
If I could only get the tools, the stimuli and the molecules,
Frozen moments in time,
I could be the archetype, a credit to the genotype,
Reprogram your mind.
But the storybook sages
Fill their pages,
Hiding from the warming sun.
Limitless distractions
Give no pause
To distort a precious delusion.
Delusion.
Precious delusion.
Yeah, did you see the moralist retort and raise his fist?
"You can't make man a machine!"
I can see the edifice crumbling in foggy mist,
Razed by discovery.
But the storybook sages
Fill their pages,
Hiding from the warming sun.
Limitless distractions
Give no pause
To distort a precious delusion.
Delusion.
Precious delusion.
Delusion.
"Scrutiny"
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
Days go marching by.
There and back I never wait
For a confident reply.
Yeah, truth is stark and leaves its mark
As limited constraints.
And the most difficult part is accepting what the future may bring.
It seems like a lifetime of scrutiny.
Wither the path, whether worth the fee.
A lifetime of scrutiny.
And it seems as though I can't be sure of anything
Anymore.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
Years go flying by.
No one seems to hesitate
Or cast an earnest eye.
Yeah, judgment comes in many forms
But never scarce or shy
And the litany is long as the confidence is strong in their delight.
It seems like a lifetime of scrutiny.
Prejudicial waters wash over me.
A lifetime of scrutiny.
And the words just don't equate with sense or sanity
Anymore.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
The faces and the names.
Shattered hopes and stolen dreams
And no one left to blame.
Yeah, is it possible to win
This pointless mortal game?
'Cause when death comes it's swift and, my friend, we end up all the same.
Oh, it feels like a lifetime of scrutiny.
Wither the path, whether worth the fee.
A lifetime of scrutiny.
And it seems as though I can't remember anything
Anymore.
"Murder"
If you're discontent to know you world's a pile of shit,
Listen to a riddle that'll tickle every bit of it.
(Ha ha ha.)
Ape shall not murder,
Ape wasn't so sure.
Bad ape, you made a mistake,
Annihilation in a cannibal war.
Well cultivation might have served you,
Might have raised you up unscathed,
If you had called that fucker by its name.
Did you listen to the arbiter's beck and call?
Did you find what you were looking for or not at all?
Not at all.
Ape shall not murder,
Ape take the cure.
Bad ape, you made a mistake,
Annihilation in a cannibal war.
Culture might have cured you
And raised you up unscathed
If you had called that fucker by its name.
Say the name.
Say the name.
Say the name.
"Grains Of Wrath"
Back in '83 a man came to me
And he told me, "Son,
Our way of life is done,"
But I was only young.
With an eye to the fields, speculators and yields,
Rotten to the core.
Monoculture whores
Entered the bidding wars from distant shores.
I don't wanna be
In the land known as
Destitute and free...
With the grains of wrath blazing a path
From sea to shining sea.
Oh, the sinuous trails of concrete and rails
And exhausted roars,
Population wars
Setting our future course.
Yeah, is profit and greed the only conceit
On a scale between
Mere prosperity
And inhumanity? It may well be but...
I don't wanna be
In the land known as
Destitute and free...
With the grains of wrath blazing a path
From sea to shining sea.
I don't wanna be
In the land known as
Destitute and free...
With the grains of wrath blazing a path
From sea to shining sea.
Lacerate, eviscerate and perforate and mutilate,
We all fall down, all fall down.
Deprecate, repudiate, ameliorate, adjudicate,
The wisdom found, wisdom found.
Clip the wings of progress, turn the direction,
Enrich the fallow soil with germs of perfection.
Delegate, facilitate, investigate and obviate,
The black turns green, black turns green.
Separate, evaluate, and cultivate and propagate,
The master's dream, master's dream.
Sing the fears of history with renewed inflection,
View the lost agenda with a skeptic's intention.
Machine of life, oh, can we make it run?
We have the tools but only just begun.
Machine of life, oh, can we make it run?
The calculations of a greater sum.
Clip the wings of progress, turn the direction,
Enrich the fallow soil with germs of perfection.
Perfection.
Amid the heat and the wrack,
Hot boots invested and cracked,
Poor candidates jacked into grey light.
An ultraviolet call
Summoning both poet and thrall,
Sweet catalyst for the acolytes.
Our heroes and martyrs (our heroes and martyrs)
Present two points of view.
(Tell me, what's the sense of heroes and martyrs?)
Which deity you're praying to?
Into a welter of night,
Flack rounds and roiling blight,
Cracked vertebrates stacked by the wayside.
An ultraviolet call
Summoning both poet and thrall,
The inveterate blind seeking daylight.
Our heroes and martyrs (our heroes and martyrs)
Present two points of view.
(Tell me, what's the sense of heroes and martyrs?)
Which deity you're praying to?
I know I'm part of something greater than myself,
Don't know the meaning but I hope that matters less.
I don't know anything when I'm factored out of scale.
I know I'm part of something greater than myself.
We're all engaging in a game of attrition.
Maybe God is just a chemical fiction.
Chemical fiction.
I'm a monkey with a madding affliction
With fact checking for a mental condition.
A mental condition.
I know I'm part of something greater than myself,
Don't know the meaning but I hope that matters less.
I don't know anything when I'm factored out of scale.
I know I'm part of something greater than myself.
Cars crash through the streets
The west end waves break city heats
The east coast storms fill in the sky
Winter weekends
Cold, unbearable, life's so terrible..
Shots ring out in blind stellar night time
Town lights come alive like a land mine
Eyes wide up in five second intervals
Unpredictable, life's a miracle
We all are love and love is hard
We're hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
It breaks my heart
We all are love and love is hard
We're hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
So here's my heart
I can't close my eyes
The east end barrels, it's summer time
The west coast lives got butterflies
So literal..
Cold, unbearable, life's so terrible
Kids live fearlessly and curious lives
Grow up to be so serious
Lost time, broken dreams
So usual..
Unpredictable, life's a miracle
We all are love and love is hard
We're hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
It breaks my heart
We all are love and love is hard
We're hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
So here's my heart
It's only the cycle
It's deafening though
This age old recital is king of all sounds
There is no release, free, we are silently numb
A sole, lonely wave with the weight that's yet to come
All the phones have rung and rung
They are off the hook, all but one
And all the mail stacked up inside
Up from the floor, a mile high
And like one would, like a child
I'm asking..
Like I could knock on your door
Will you let me in?
And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth is it's all a big lie
I find that the words are hard to describe
I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply
Climbing trees and paper planes
Life as a kid, we're all the same
Tears of joy, and sullen hearts
Sticks and stones and broken arms
And like one would, like a child
I'm asking..
Like I could knock on your door
Will you let me in?
And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth is it's all a big lie
I find that the words are hard to describe
I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply
I found out what's wrong, and it's not you or I
Or anyone else that you chose tonight
It seems like the madness of choice in the life
Has made it all clear if we run or we hide
And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth is it's all a big lie
I find that the words are hard to describe
I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply
I found out what's wrong, and it's not you or I
Or anyone else that you chose tonight
It seems like the madness of choice in the life
Has made it all clear if we run or we hide
I am a ghost, this is a dream
There's something here, it calls to me
I sense it cuz it's always there
So silent as I stare and stare
There is a light, when we're asleep
Were barely doors, with locks and keys
With feelings of our hopes and fears
As sounds explode within our ears
Like stars at night falling fast asleep
On the risen sun, wait patiently
You can feel it cuz it's always there
Light stronger as you stare and stare
Like love and lies shake violently
Down to the core to foster grief
It has a way to keep me down
I gotta say it wears me out
So sadly soul survivors
Lost and lonely in open water
Yeah oh, yeah oh, yeah oh
Yeah oh..
Help I'm losing, help I'm falling
Life is silent, the earth is calling
Every reason, every nighttime
And every day starts and ends in sunlight
But I'm not okay with this vicious cycle
Somethings broken, it seems unnatural
These shapes are wondrous, but loosely woven
The sounds are deafening , and time is frozen
Yo oh oh oh
Yo oh oh oh
Yo oh oh oh
Yo oh oh oh
Yo oh oh oh
Yo oh oh oh
Yo oh oh oh
Yo oh oh oh
So sadly soul survivors
Lost and lonely in open water
Yeah oh, yeah oh, yeah oh
Yeah oh..
So sadly soul survivors
Lost and lonely in open water
Yeah oh, yeah oh, yeah oh
Yeah oh..
Oh I know you well
All your life I've watched you breathe
I've watched you lie across the seam through space and time
Through every year of every kind
I'd wait like snow, on the eve of spring
I can out last cold, can you out last me?
Every word you say, is a perfect thing
It's the perfect time, for the perfect love
And you oh, you're all I desire
And you oh, this clever love won't tire
Oh I've felt your spell
And all alike, it's been like hell
Every single time the cycle goes
In and out of mind, in and out of fear, of getting left behind
I see your glow, your eyes are kind, they kill as well
I bare in mind, every word I say is a silent thing
And a solid wish, will you lay with me?
And you oh, you're all I desire
And you oh, this clever love won't tire
And you oh, you're all I desire
And you oh, our clever love caught fire
And you oh, you're all I desire
And you oh, this clever love won't tire
And you oh, you're all I desire
And you oh, our clever love won't tire
And you oh, you're all I desire
And you oh, our clever love caught fire
You're all that I want, your that I need
You're my everything
You're all that I want, your that I need
You're my everything
It's like the day has turned to rust
Like every dreams been sealed shut
Like every door is closed before we've gotten out
As bullets rip the air in two from house to house
We are all that we are, so terribly sorry
We are all that we are, so terribly sorry
The moon you've felt, it has no side
That's dark like hell, or safe from light
Just blown apart, by wind from stars
With white dust tides to pull on ours
The moon you've felt, it has no side
That's dark like hell, or safe from light
Just blown apart, by wind from stars
With white dust tides to pull on ours
I see the crowds their giving way
For some, they're better off that day
The bombs blew off the shells
Their glowing red at burst
The less there is to feel each night upon the earth
We are all that we are, so terribly sorry
We are all that we are, so terribly sorry
The moon you've felt, it has no side
That's dark like hell, or safe from light
Just blown apart, by wind from stars
With white dust tides to pull on ours
The moon you've felt, it has no side
That's dark like hell, or safe from light
Just blown apart, by wind from stars
With white dust tides to pull on ours
The moon you've felt, it has no side
That's dark like hell, or safe from light
Just blown apart, by wind from stars
With white dust tides to pull on ours
The moon you've felt, it has no side
That's dark like hell, or safe from light
Just blown apart, by wind from stars
With white dust tides to pull on ours
And you look real close
Cross the lines and the roads
It is there to decode
What you thought was a ghost
Or a spark to explode
It's the start of the show
It's the part you love the most
When your heart will implode within
Do you believe in hallucinations, silly dreams or imaginations
Don't go away cause I feel you this time
Don't go away cause I need you there this time
As the rain floats home
Carry us back to shore
And up the mountainous coast
Where the sun starts to glow
From our head to our toes
To the stars that we know
And with you as my host
It will keep us afloat again
Do you believe in hallucinations, silly dreams or imaginations
Don't go away cause I feel you this time
Don't go away cause I need you there this time
Do you believe in hallucinations, any dream or it's revelation
Don't go away cause I need you there this time
Don't go away cause I'm making you all mine
The silence is taxing
I'm waiting for something
There's images of love and war
And everything's here to explore
It's all alike, unusual, a different place
But beautiful and it is not quite as it seems
I hear the children's laughs and screams
It's beautiful
So beautiful
It's beautiful
Do you believe in hallucinations, silly dreams or imaginations
Don't go away cause I feel you this time
Don't go away cause I need you there this time
Do you believe in hallucinations, any dream or it's revelation
Don't go away cause I need you there this time
Don't go away cause I'm making you all mine
And the brightest sign, it is full of holes
and it's full of paying lost violent criminals
With a little fate and the worst of lies,
With a love so deep, it's war with endless fire inside
Go right back to the line
Every single day, every nine to five
Everybody works it hard, but then we finally die
And there's no remorse, or the slightest sound
We're forever cool with the way it breaks up and down
Let's start a riot
Nobody's right
Nobody's wrong
Life's just a game
It's just one epic holiday
However far this
Takes us along
Take us away
It's just one epic holiday
On the Sunday rain
Like a lonely ghost
And the furthest point from here is right outside the door
Open up your eyes
Take a breath if you will
And the sun is still alive even though it's hard to tell
Let's start a riot
Nobody's right
Nobody's wrong
Life's just a game
It's just one epic holiday
However far this
Takes us along
Take us away
It's just one epic holiday
Let's start a riot
Nobody's right
Nobody's wrong
Life's just a game it's just one epic holiday
However far this
Takes us along
Take us away
It's just one epic holiday
Nobody's right
Nobody's wrong
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot
Nobody's right
Nobody's wrong
Life's just a game
It's just one epic holiday
However far this
Takes us along
Take us away
It's just one epic holiday
Forget the things that you own
And travel almost anywhere you can go
Dance across the tree tips, set them ablaze
Soaking in their pleasant warm summer haze
And weeping on her streets and school city blocks
And finding streams on her while you're skipping rocks
And feeding on her touch as it will barely keep you alive
She said show me the world that's inside your head,
Show me the world that you see yourself, you could use some help
Cause sometimes it comes with a shove, when you fall in love
It can be so bold and so cavalier
To reach out to the fire her souls sending here
It can be like death that blows like a breeze
Making all ones strength go weak at the knees
I hate to feel the shallow ground giving way
I've never let myself fall this much astray
And feeding on her touch is all one does to survive
She said show me the world that's inside your head,
Show me the world that you see yourself, you could use some help
Cause sometimes it comes with a shove, when you fall in love
She said show me the world that's inside your head,
Tell me your secrets of life and death, and your one regret
Cause sometimes it comes with a shove, when you fall in love
She said show me the world that's inside your head,
Show me the world that you see yourself, you could use some help
Cause sometimes it comes with a shove, when you fall in love
She said show me the world that's inside your head,
Tell me your secrets of life and death, and your one regret
Cause sometimes it comes with a shove, when you fall in love
If you're ever alone, then your heart will know
It can call to mine, and I'll be at your side
If you're ever alone, then your heart will know
It can reach to mine, I'll be at your side
I'm not the one to complain of bad dreams
It's like disease, but without a life
It's all a scene with this great directive
That we're all lost and we're stuck in time
We feel alone in a strange blue ocean
And we're all scared as death to die
I'm not the one to admit it's helpless
I have a sense that we will be alright
I wish for peace with electric silence
To keep our hearts beating on our minds
And we will see that we're all connected
When we awake to the tunnel's light
Suit up, boys
We're on vacation
With endless stay and reservations
Saddest girls
Who will await while dying inside
How will they get by?
Suit up, boys
We're on vacation
With endless stay and reservations
Saddest girls
Who will await while dying inside
How will they get by?
Suit up, boys
Let's ride, it's the weekend
Get down, girls
And dance with your best friend
Show yourselves, and take what you ask for
Let it go, no fights on the dance floor
Suit up, boys
Let's ride, it's the weekend
Get down, girls
And dance with your best friend
Show yourselves, and take what you ask for
Let it go, no fights on the dance floor
Suit up, boys
Let's ride, it's the weekend
Get down, girls
And dance with your best friend
Show yourselves, and take what you ask for
Let it go, no fights on the dance floor
Suit up, boys
Let's ride, it's the weekend
Get down, girls
And dance with your best friend
Show yourselves, and take what you ask for
Let it go, no fights on the dance floor
The night gets better, but wait, so wonderful
They move together and dance so colorful
And kiss like flowers that breathe with pheromones
Songs get louder, it feels so natural
The night gets better, but wait, so wonderful
They move together and dance so colorful
And kiss like flowers that breathe with pheromones
Songs get louder, it feels so natural
I'm flying, and somethings reaching out
Vibrations, can you hear them now?
Please help us, we are running out of time
My brothers, we are deathly out of line
I feel you, on a far off distant land
We fucked up, let's give ourselves a hand
It's over, from the heavens look down
Our footsteps, God's coming around..
Gotta make like a cat thief's caught in the line
It's gotta sound like a gunshot over and over
I've gotta voice so lost off back in my head
It takes the heart rate up then down even more
I've got my friends face down like a kid in the dark
They've got the same fear built up more even more
I've let my eyes bright up like a predator shark
To let my mind close down every hour by hour
Finally I get this feeling we are all alone in one big world
Just to realize that all these shapes and colors are so it doesn't hurt so badly..
So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly..
So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly..
Please don't look at life, look at me so sadly.
Life shouldn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly
Do you feel light shine in the darkest of nights,
or does the Pain stack up from the skin to the core
Do you find every time that you cover your eyes
to keep the tears held up, dripping down even more
Let the words come down, every line in sight
and put the young flames up and make you cower and cower
If the sun breaks in instead of sparking the sight,
I promise you I'll be here to let the light in
Finally I get this feeling we are all alone in one big world
Just to realize that all these shapes and colors are so it doesn't hurt so badly..
So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly..
So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly..
Please don't look at life, look at me so sadly.
Life shouldn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly
I'm flying and somethings reaching out
Vibrations, can you hear them now?
Please help us, from the heavens look down
Our footsteps, God's coming around..
Go!
So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly..
So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly..
Please don't look at life, look at me so sadly.
Life shouldn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly
Gotta make like a cat thief's caught in the line
It's gotta sound like a gunshot over and over
I've gotta voice so lost off back in my head
It takes the heart rate up then down even more
I've got my friends face down like a kid in the dark
They've got the same fear built up more even more
I've let my eyes bright up like a predator shark
To let my mind close down every hour by hour
Do you feel light shine in the darkest of nights,
or does the Pain stack up from the skin to the core
Do you find every time that you cover your eyes
to keep the tears held up, dripping down even more
Let the words come down, every line in sight
and put the young flames up and make you cower and cower
If the sun breaks in instead of sparking the sight,
I promise you I'll be here to let the light in
I see the beauty in the scene
The pulsing hearts, the pounding beats
I'm holding everything inside and hope the stars align tonight
Don't close your eyes just stare in mine
Watch colors fade suspend in time
Our love at last just you and I.
Let's hide ourselves from everyone
Just take my hand and we can run
As moments freeze let's make believe
We'll always be forever young
Soon the night will come, our silhouettes in the setting sun
I feel the heat, the summer scene
Like standing in a living dream
Like flashing lights from movie screens
This feels so right I can't believe
We sit so still, so close, so near
These hearts will wave so loud and clear
Let's close our eyes and disappear.
Let's hide ourselves from everyone
Just take my hand and we can run
As moments freeze let's make believe
We'll always be forever young
Soon the night will come, our silhouettes in the setting sun
Let's hide ourselves from everyone
Just take my hand and we can run
As moments freeze let's make believe
We'll always be forever young
Soon the night will come.
Let's hide ourselves from everyone
Just take my hand and we can run
As moments freeze let's make believe
We'll always be forever young
Soon the night will come, two silhouettes in the setting sun.
She'll make it rain on what's supposed to be a sunny day
I'm gonna pay, for all my stupidest mistakes
You make me want and do completely different things
Are you listening to me, are you listening to me?
She's like a shot in the dark, adrenaline in my heart
It always happens when we're together
No matter how much the pain you know I'll do it again and again until forever
I can't kick the habit, cause I just gotta have it
But she's the girl who destroys entire worlds.
When all the smoke clears, I should turn around and hit the ground
You're such a joke, I'm not sure what I've lost or found
Blame it on me cause I can't see this going anywhere
It's just not fair, I can't compare to anyone or anything
She's like a shot in the dark, adrenaline in my heart
It always happens when we're together
No matter how much the pain you know I'll do it again and again until forever
I can't kick the habit, cause I just gotta have it
But she's the girl who destroys entire worlds.
Cause you just happened to push me through the fall
That's the way you start it all
Cause what's yours is mine, let's get it right this time
Cause it just happened to get us through it all
I don't want to watch this fall
Cause what's yours is mine, let's get it right this time
She's like a shot in the dark, adrenaline in my heart
It always happens when we're together
No matter how much the pain you know I'll do it again and again until forever
I can't kick the habit, cause I just gotta have it
But she's the girl who destroys entire
She's the girl who destroys entire
Cause she's the girl who destroys my entire world.
Don't wanna call you cause I miss you too much
Don't want to play cause I'm outta luck in this town, in this town
Tomorrow I'll be in another state
I get so nervous cause I just can't wait to see you
I guess I need you
Don't believe everything you read about me
(read about me, it doesn't matter what they say)
I know you're always waiting for a status update
It comes a little too late
Can't stop thinking i'm to blame
Cause you're ready for the next one
The distance killed the burning flame
And i cant stop myself from trying to figure out
The fastest way to work this out
Cause i'm ready for you
Three words can't fix us anymore
I know you've (?) been working nine to five
I know you miss me, but you try to hide your feelings
Cause i gave you reasons
I remember when you took your breaks
You called to tell me all about your day
I miss that
Why can't we fix that
Don't believe everything you read about me
(read about me, it doesn't matter what they say)
I know you're always waiting for a status update
It comes a little too late
Can't stop thinking i'm to blame
Cause you're ready for the next one
The distance killed the burning flame
And i cant stop myself from trying to figure out
The fastest way to work this out
Cause i'm ready for you
Three words can't fix us anymore
Can't fix us anymore...
Three words can't fix us anymore
Can't stop thinking i'm to blame
Cause you're ready for the next one
The distance killed the burning flame
And i cant stop myself from trying to figure out
The fastest way to work this out
Cause i'm ready for you
Three words can't fix us anymore
As I turn to walk away leaving everything I know
What I'd give to hear you say "Please, don't let me go"
For I can't live in this place it's as if my only home is gone.
Where will we fall to?
When will we see?
To look past the defeats, it's what's underneath
Cause there's a beauty in how you lie
With every sparkle that's in your eyes tonight
Just let them shine.
I couldn't live for one more day
I couldn't stand to be alone
I'm fighting just to say it's you I'm letting go
As I try to find my way, as I walk this road alone.
Where will we fall to?
When will we see?
To look past the defeats, it's what's underneath
Cause there's a beauty in how you lie
With every sparkle that's in your eyes tonight
Just let them shine.
I'm finding myself within you
The moments we shared can't take away
I'm buried in deep without you
We'll never be the same
I'm finding myself within you
The moments we shared can't take away
I'm buried in deep without you
We'll never be the same
Where will we fall to?
When will we see?
To look past the defeats, it's what's underneath
Cause there's a beauty in how you lie
With every sparkle that's in your eyes tonight
Just let them shine.
I found a new life with you here
A life that will burn bright through the years
I can tell in the way you look, the signals are so clear
I want a big house in the hills,
but I don't need that life to make me feel
Like I'm part of the crowd who turns their backs to what's real
Whoa, whoa yeah, it's a good day
I know you know, to me you're everything
Whoa, whoa yeah, it's a good day
And I feel my life is changing
I found a piece of what was left,
a mark that runs deep within this chest
I know in my heart what's best is here in front of me
I can just see us in the streets
Beneath all the stars just you and me
Together as one we'll stand, each hand and hand
You're all I ever needed
Whoa, whoa yeah, it's a good day
I know you know, to me you're everything
Whoa, whoa yeah, it's a good day
And I feel my life is changing, and I feel my life is changing
I can see my life is changing, and I feel my life is changing
I can't guess why this is over, you wore me out straight to the core
And you're left falling harder than you've ever felt before
But these days will come to rest and it is something to be said
Just when I thought I knew I was so in love
I would die for you, I would give it up
Just to feel your warmth, you're nervous as we touched
Just when I thought I knew I would be the one
Coming into you as our hearts raced on
I can see the truth, I know it is you,
it is sad, but you seem better when I'm gone
I can't say that I have ever felt this way any time before
With your lips, it gets harder, to the point of no return
But these days will come to rest and it is something to be said
Just when I thought I knew I was so in love
I would die for you, I would give it up
Just to feel your warmth, you're nervous as we touched
Just when I thought I knew I would be the one
Coming into you as our hearts raced on
I can see the truth, I know it is you,
it is sad, but you seem better when I'm gone
And all of these words I can't relate
I'm seeing this ship go down in flames
Find a space where we belong
It gets harder to move on
And all of these words I can't relate
I'm seeing this ship go down in flames
Find a space where we belong
It gets harder to move on
Just when I thought I knew I was so in love
I would die for you, I would give it up
Just to feel your warmth, you're nervous as we touched
Just when I thought I knew I would be the one
Coming into you as our hearts raced on
I can see the truth, I know it is you,
it is sad, but you seem better when I'm gone
In my heart is where you are
It's where you'll always be
Staring out across the stars
A perfect memory
It brings me back to your arms,
I feel the warm embrace
Of everything that you were,
You're everything to me
And if I leave you here forever
Forever I would stay
Cause I've been feeling so much better
With every single day
And if I could control the weather,
The clouds and the rain
I know you're part of something deeper,
You're better off this way
You can predict you can't become
Lost in your ways
I miss you most now you're gone
I'll never be the same
I can't hold back when it shows
I'm breaking down to say
I won't forget who you were,
You're everything to me
And if I leave you here forever
Forever I would stay
Cause I've been feeling so much better
With every single day
And if I could control the weather
The clouds and the rain
I know you're part of something deeper
You're better off this way
And if I leave you here forever
Forever I would stay
Cause I've been feeling so much better
With every single day
And if I could control the weather
The clouds and the rain
I know you're part of something deeper
You're better off this way
And now you left me here forever
Forever I will wait
I know someday we'll be together
I found a new life with you here
A life that will burn bright through the years
I can tell in the way you look, the signals are so clear
I want a big house in the hills,
but I don't need that life to make me feel
Like I'm part of the crowd who turns their backs to what's real
Whoa, whoa yeah, it's a good day
I know you know, to me you're everything
Whoa, whoa yeah, it's a good day
And I feel my life is changing
I found a piece of what was left,
a mark that runs deep within this chest
I know in my heart what's best is here in front of me
I can just see us in the streets
Beneath all the stars just you and me
Together as one we'll stand, each hand and hand
You're all I ever needed
Whoa, whoa yeah, it's a good day
I know you know, to me you're everything
Whoa, whoa yeah, it's a good day
And I feel my life is changing, and I feel my life is changing
I can see my life is changing, and I feel my life is changing
I couldn't bare with my world today,
was the reason we let this fade
And the only thing left was tried not true,
a love I could not save
But I'm here and I'm not afraid
I can keep you from all this pain
And now you're reading the notes
of how to deal with me when I'm away
Here's your chance, don't let it fall through
Know that in your life is where I am
I'll be there to guide you If you feel like you can't make it
Know you can Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh.... Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh....
I can't even begin to think
As my heart it begins to sink
And a desolate cycle circles through my mind
I can't unweave But I'm finding the only way
Is to face what I cannot say
And I hope in the end with time you'll see
our love won't ever change
Here's your chance, don't let it fall through
Just know that in your life is where I am
I'll be there to guide you I know that you can take it
Here's your chance, don't let it fall through
Know that in your life is where I am
I'll be there to guide you If you feel like you can't make it
Know you can Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh.... I know you can
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh.... I know you can
I'm in with the shadows, the light on your doorstep
When the streets are cold and quiet
Can you hear me whisper, I don't think you can
Out at the crosswalks, standing in traffic
Not words or white noise, tune of the static
Can you hear my footsteps, I know that you can't
Even when I'm in your sight, I'm out of line
Maybe I'm vacant by design
Standing on the sidelines, feeling like the world's blind
Staring through a blank face, maybe it's a bad time
Always at the right place at the wrong time
Standing on the sidelines, waiting for the limelight
Staring through a blank face, maybe it's a bad time
Always at the right place at the wrong time
You say that I'm broken, a product defective
A rhyme without reason, nobody gets it
Cut out of the picture, a letter never sent
Even when I'm in your sight, I'm out of line
Maybe I'm vacant by design
My ambition is to have no ambition
This conviction to live without conviction
A decision to be somebody that you'll never know
Standing on the sidelines, feeling like the world's blind
Always at the right place at the wrong time
Staring through a blank face, maybe it's a bad time
I'm always at the right place at the wrong time
Standing on the sidelines, feeling like the world's blind
Staring through a blank face, maybe it's a bad time
Always at the right place at the wrong time
Standing on the sidelines, waiting for the limelight
Staring through a blank face, maybe it's a bad time
Always at the right place at the wrong time,
right place at the wrong time
LET'S GO!
It's not easy making a name for yourself
Where do you draw the line?
I never thought I'd be in this far
Let's have some fun and never change not for anyone
Try not to miss me when I'm gone
(Whoa uh oh, whoa uh oh)
I sold my soul to the open road
I'll live my life alone!
You won't find me in the same spot
Believe me I could never stop
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks
I'm leaving and not coming back
You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all
I'm gonna need you to try to follow along.
I did the best that I could to try and write you songs.
Now go tell them we sold out, like we're the ones who changed.
I write what I feel, I say what I mean.
You can't buy sincerity.
(Whoa uh oh, whoa uh oh)
I sold my soul to the open road
I'll live my life alone!
You won't find me in the same spot
Believe me I could never stop
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks
I'm leaving and not coming back
You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all
Don't forget yourselves
We made up our minds
And we signed 3! 4! 5! on that dotted line!
Don't forget yourselves
We made up our minds
And we signed 3! 4! 5! on that dotted line!
You won't find me in the same spot
Believe me I could never stop
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks
I'm leaving and not coming back
You're right and I was wrong
You won't find me in the same spot (You were right and I was wrong)
Believe me I could never stop (You point the blame we'll take the fall)
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks (You were right and I was wrong)
I'm leaving and not coming back (You point the blame we'll take the fall)
You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all
This town will be the downfall of us all
Downfall of us all!
Downfall of us all!
Downfall of us all!
Downfall of us all!
Somebody give me a sign,
That everything's going as planned,
And then everything falls away,
Into the darkness of this shallow place.
The detail is striking,
The room's cold and frightening,
You'll kick and you'll scream,
You'll try everything to survive,
But you should know your fate by now.
They told me (they told me)
How I should be,
But I broke the mold somehow!
It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done to me.
You, you know you gotta assert yourself,
Leave what you need for now,
It's not the time or place you're searching for.
All I can give them's my worst of intentions.
You're nothing to me and everyone can see that
Your life's a lie, there's nowhere left to hide.
They told me (they told me)
How I should be,
But I broke the mold somehow!
It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
Watch your back, you'll lose yourself!
This is a battleground!
When will they know,
Your life's a lie.
It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
They told me (they told me)
How I should be,
But I broke the mold somehow!
Don't blink they won't even miss you at all,
And don't think that I'll always be gone,
You know I've got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don't you let me down!
So run like hell,
Sleep with one eye open,
I can't forgive or forget you
We'll tell everyone the damage done,
Deep down you can't stop me
You can't stop me now.
I’ll be there just to watch you fall,
So don’t push me, I've got nothing to lose.
Don’t blink, they wont even miss you at all,
And don’t think that I’ll always be gone,
You know I’ve got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don’t you let me down.
{Oops,} there I go again,
I made it so damn hard to come back from the mess that you're in
I need you to know, I told you so.
You're a snake and I'm cautious
Just use your head.
I’ll be there just to watch you fall,
so don’t push me, I've got nothing to lose.
Don’t blink, they wont even miss you at all,
And don’t think that I’ll always be gone,
You know I’ve got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don’t you let me down.
Come on
Ooooooohhhhhh!
*Cough* *Cough*
Everybody's out to get me.
Any moment could be my last.
This is me, you can take it or leave.
Right or wrong
I will stand on my own two feet.
Just breathe.
Just breathe.
Don’t blink, they wont even miss you at all,
And don’t think that I’ll always be gone,
You know I’ve got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don’t you let me down.
Don’t blink, they wont even miss you at all,
And don’t think that I’ll always be gone,
You know I’ve got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don’t you let me down.
Oh!
Get up, get out,
This is your wake up call,
We run this town and you can't fight us all,
We keep 'em coming back for more,
Don't think you can hold us down,
We'll tear this building down,
Try to be careful what you say
Give it up, your tact is astounding,
Find your place and leave us with some peace of mind,
You do this every time
So here's to another banner year,
We've crossed that thin line,
Don't try to hold us here,
If for just this once you'd think of us,
I hope you're happy with yourself
Get up, get out,
Who's gonna break your fall,
When we don't back down, you're gonna seem so small,
We keep 'em running for the door,
Just wait, things will come back around,
It's too late for them, they're headed straight for a melt down,
I'm not a part of your cliché,
Give it up, your tact is astounding,
Find your place and leave us with some peace of mind,
You do this every time
So here's to another banner year,
We've crossed that thin line,
Don't try to hold us here,
If for just this once you'd think of us,
I hope you're happy with yourself
[x2]
Just think about, just think about everything,
Be careful now, be careful what you say,
While I'm away.
This is the life we chose,
This is the life I lead,
They can never take this from me
[x2]
So here's to another banner year,
We've crossed that thin line,
Don't try to hold us here,
If for just this once you'd think of us,
I hope you're happy with yourself
[x2]
So here's to another banner year,
I hope you're happy with yourself
Wake up!
Oh how the times have changed
You're not the person I knew back then
Let's get this straight
This is a calling
When will they stop falling for this?
You lack all inspiration
We're not the same
I'll do whatever it takes
To get it through to you
We'll call this a day
We're not the same
You are worthless
Stay in your place
It's like speaking in tongues
To all of you now
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
How long until the tables turn?
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
I've created a monster
You bring out a side of me that no one should see
So quit stalling, pack your bags
Keep walking away
Your life leads to destruction
We are not the same
I've struggled too long to sit back
And let you take this from me
We are not the same
I have giving everything
It's like speaking in tongues
To all of you now
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
How long until the tables turn?
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
(Get what we deserve) Get what we deserve
Get what we deserve
Disrespect your surroundings
You won't make it out alive
You won't make it out alive
You won't make it out alive
You won't make it out alive
It's like speaking in tongues
To all of you now
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
How long until the tables turn?
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
When will we ever get what we deserve?
When will we ever get what we deserve?
Have faith in me
Cause there are things that I've seen I don't believe
So cling to what you know and never let go
You should know things aren't always what they seem
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
I'm going crazy
Cause there are things in the streets I don't believe
So we'll pretend it's alright (pretend it's alright)
and stay in for the night
Oh what a world
I'll keep you safe here with me (with me)
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
They've got me on the outside, looking in
But I can't see at all
With the weight of the world on my shoulders,
They just wanna see me fall
They've got me on the outside, looking in
But I can't see at all
With the weight of the world on my shoulders,
They just wanna see me fall
Have faith in me
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did (Go, Did)
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it (Fall, Meant It)
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
We're finally alone at last
Oh how I've waited for this day to come
There's just something about you that rubs me wrong
You're not worth my attention
I built this with my own two hands
If you could spare me the time
Stop using me as your next misconception
I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me
I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me
It won't be long before you meet your end
You're nothing more than a passing trend
So keep those cameras rolling
You think I wouldn't remember?
You thought that I would lose faith in myself
You can spare me the lies
You don't believe in me
Your life's a contradiction
I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me
I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me
We draw the line at being in your life
Here's to the man of the hour
We'll cast out problems aside
Cheers to your future, may they bury you alive
Move!
I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me
I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me
Everything around me seems so much different than where I'm from
And at this rate I think my fate's been sealed
This life's so unpredictable
We'll go continue to live a life that no one knows
Where's this gonna go?
Right here, right now
This is the beginning of the end
And I won't sing one single thing until we can get this right
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
Hey mom, I wrote you some soft songs
And tell dad I'm just fine
We had to choose
We made our moves
And now we got to go, go
Everything about me seemed so much different when I was young
I couldn't wait to take my place
Five years have passed
Good god have I been gone?
So why, I've never felt so alone in my whole life
Times not on my side
Right here, right now
This is the beginning of the end
And I won't sing a single thing until we can get this right
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
Hey mom, I wrote you some soft songs
And tell dad I'm just fine
We had to choose
We made our moves
And now we got to go
And why's this make me so nervous?
Why does everything go wrong?
Why's this make me so nervous?
Why does everything go wrong?
I'm holding on to a fairytale
We're moving forward but we're not there yet
I'm holding on to a fairytale
We're moving forward
we're moving forward
I'm holding on to a fairytale
We're moving forward but we're not there yet
I'm holding on to a fairytale
We're moving forward, we're moving forward
Hey mom, I wrote you some soft songs
And tell dad I'm just fine
We had to choose
We made our moves
And now we got to go
And why's this make me so nervous?
(You make me so, you make me so)
Why does everything go wrong?
Why's this make me so nervous?
(You make me so, you make me so)
Why does everything go wrong?
Been through a lot in the last year
It's like everything I love is slipping away
And every time I come home
Some more of me it isn't there
I gotta get it together
I need to do things for myself
I've given everything
But still you take more from me
I need some room to breathe
Come on, come on
You know this isn't what we planned on
(You know this isn't what we planned)
Come on, come on
Tell me we'll be okay
(We'll be okay!)
Lets go back, lets go back
To a time where I still felt I had a family
This isn't what I remember
Everyone's looking out for just themselves
If need be I'll be happy to leave
Just be warned, I'll be taking most of you with me
I see straight through
That smile straight through
That painted face
Don't think that I can't tell
Which one of you is against me
Come on, come on
You know this isn't what we planned on
(You know this isn't what we planned)
Come on, come on
Tell me we'll be okay
(We'll be okay!)
Lets go back, lets go back
To a time where I still felt I had family
I had the greatest faith in fools,
I turned my back and out came the wolves
PAY ATTENTION!
Come on, come on
You know this isn't what we planned on
(You know this isn't what we planned)
Come on, come on
Tell me we'll be okay
(We'll be okay!)
Lets go back, lets go back
To a time where I still felt I had family
Been through a lot in the last year
It's like everything I love is slipping away
They used to tell me:
You got to choose a side
Now it's four years later,
And they beg for advice.
Don't trust the critic he's a cynic
Make the call for yourself
This is my 10-step course to not be like everyone else
I know it's not the easiest route,
And I know
It leaves you overflowing with doubt
But if you want it you can have it
Hope it's all that you dreamt
Cause once you got it your gonna get it
You wont be leaving this
You can't trust everyone you meet
They won't amount to anything
Go tell them
Go tell them it's not as simple as you think
You can't trust everyone you meet
They never meant that much to me
Go tell them
Go tell them it's not as simple as you think
Clenched fists held above me
You will never bring me to my knees
I said clenched fists held above me
You will never bring me to my knees
You'll get what you deserve
They keep playing sad songs on the radio
And I feel like I'm so alone
On this 15-hour drive
And all the while I tell myself to just believe
Cause nobody can give so much
And never get anything
(never get anything)
Everyone I used to know
Says they don't know what I've become
But I'm still the same
Not much has changed
I still know where I came from
I fell asleep with the lights on
And I can see that you’re the first one in a long time
That had some faith in me
(have faith in me)
Tell my friends we won’t be long
The Florida sun begs me to come back home
And it feels like I'm ready for anything
If you can wait for me
And all the while I say too much of what I think
And I can't remember what it's like to find meaning in anything
For the life of me
Everyone I used to know
Says they don't know what I've become
But I'm still the same
Not much has changed
I still know where I came from
And all I ever wanted was so far from what I need
I'll write my songs, they'll sing along, and hope time heals everything
I fell asleep with the lights on
And I can see that you’re the first one in a long time
That had some faith in me
(have faith in me)
Tell my friends we won’t be long
The Florida sun begs me to come back home
It feels like I'm ready for anything
If you can wait for me
This is all I have!
This is all I have!
It's my life
This is all I have!
This is all I have!
I fell asleep with the lights on
And I can see that you’re the first one in a long time
That had some faith in me
(have faith in me)
Tell my friends we won’t be long
The Florida sun begs me to come back home
It feels like I'm ready for anything
If you can wait for me
I fell asleep with the lights on
And I can see that you’re the first one in a long time
That had some faith in me
(have faith in me)
Tell my friends we won’t be long
The Florida sun begs me to come back home
It feels like I'm ready for anything
If you can wait for me
And hey darling,
I hope you're good tonight.
And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving.
Yeah, I want it but no, I don't need it.
Tell me something sweet to get me by,
'Cause I can't come back home till they're singing
La, la la la, la la la,
Till everyone is singing
If you can wait till I get home,
Then I swear to you that we can make this last.
(La la la)
If you can wait till I get home,
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past.
Well it might be for the best.
And hey sweetie,
Well I need you here tonight,
And I know that you don't wanna be leaving me
Yeah, you want it, but I can't help it.
I just feel complete when you're by my side,
But I know you can't come home till they're singing
La, la la la, la la la,
Till everyone is singing.
La, la la la, la la la.
If you can wait till I get home,
Then I swear to you that we can make this last.
(La la la)
If you can wait till I get home,
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past.
Well it might be for the best.
You know you can't give me what I need.
And even though you mean so much to me,
I can't wait through everything,
Is this really happening?
I swear I'll never be happy again.
And don't you dare say we can just be friends.
I'm not some boy that you can sway.
We knew it'd happen eventually.
La, la la la, la la la,
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
(If you can wait till I get home)
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
(Then I swear we can make this last)
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
(If you can wait till I get home)
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
(Then I swear we can make this last)
Now everybody's singing.
La
