Go, run away in distress
Try to hide from what's
Creeping and crawling and stabbing within!
Try to deny the turmoil inside
If you fight yourself hard enough
You'll never win any ounce of serenity
Or a calm hope at best (Or a calm hope at best)
Can leave you heaving on the floor
Gasping for breath (Are you gasping for breath?)
To be left on the floor, gasping for breath

You're either the person you are
Or the person you're trying, trying, trying, trying to be
Don't let the outside sway too far
From where you want to be

And at any cruel moments notice
You can ruin the best
As your body is brutally pressed
Against the confines of your tense flesh
And if you close your eyes tight enough
Then none of the bad can get in (none of the bad can get in)
And if you close your eyes tight enough
Then none of the light can get (none of the light can get in)
The light can't get in, the light can't get in!

Boom! You scream as the light hits you
It radiates throughout your whole soul
Boom! The pain is clarity, it cleanses
And if it still fucking hurts
Then you still fucking know
That you are still alive
That you are still in control, if you'd only take hold

Boom! The day with both hands, a death-grip
And a good chance to outlive your past
Are you living free, are you living free?

You're either the person you are
Or the person you're trying, trying, trying, trying to be
Don't let the outside sway too far
From where you want to be

You're either the person you are
Or the person you're trying, trying, trying, trying to be
Don't let the outside sway too far
From where you want to be

You should have ran for days
You embrace, you betray
I am sad to say, you're a sad cliché
But when you ran you tripped and fell
On a path that led you straight to hell!
This is the salt in your wounds
This is my I told you so

If you knew, what I know
Would you move, like you do
With malicious discontent you went about
Hellbent to destroy but did you have a reason why?

Here's to lowering caskets of old friends
Choice and consequence, we'll birth a new day
With the death of an old and start over, start over
Here's to burying hatchets in those who
You never call your friends, we'll birth a new day
With the death of an old and start over, start over

Can you breathe in, reach in and let it out
The evil inside, that's eating you out, tonight!
With every venomous move
I will suck you up and spit you out
Get out of my life, get out of my sight!

Here's to lowering caskets of old friends
Choice and consequence, we'll birth a new day
With the death of an old and start over, start over
Here's to burying hatchets in those who
You never call your friends, we'll birth a new day
With the death of an old and start over, start over

You let yourself get carried away
Don't act like you're ashamed
You let yourself get carried away
Bow your head now accept the blame
You let yourself get carried away
Bury this with you a waste

And now it's time to see, what you don't mean to me
Now it's time to see what you don't mean to me
Now it's time to see what you don't mean to me

Here's to lowering caskets of old friends
Choice and consequence, we'll birth a new day
With the death of an old and start over, start over
Here's to burying hatchets in those who
You never call your friends, we'll birth a new day
With the death of an old and....

When we danced, so prestine and
Knee deep in sin, balls deep in hate
I see your face, I see your face
And it tears me, tears me up
My mouth is full of love
My head is held in shame

When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of, are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my name?

Hold your breath to keep it trapped with secrets
'Till your turning cold blue with guilt
Still, no blood is spilled
Had I seen the plot twist comming
Would I've checked out the book
And even if I was dead
You would never be off the fucking hook

When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of, are you thinking of me ?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my...?

Can you take it, while I fake it?
Can you take it, while I fake it?

[Solo]

Cross your heart, false your heart
Cross your heart, false your heart

When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of, are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my name?

Cross your heart, false your heart
Cross your heart, false your heart

He bends and he breaks
If you give, they will take away
His passion, his pain and his grace
He exhales, a thousand black flowers explode
Into butterflies as they're away

Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush
And leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
See him numb, see him crushed
See him numb, see him crushed

Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush him
And leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
Leave him numb, leave him crushed

Took the fire inside
One too many times
He's burning and over and out, now he fails
Up against the raging tides
No more fights
Everything you ever wanted to see
I see it in his eyes
One more time, one more time

Climb down to test the waters
My hands feel like they're rusting away
So I'll pace around like a
Lamb before the slaughter
I'll stay here as long as you'll let me
Decisions been made obvious
So I will return where I started
I'll stay there unfinished, I'll wither away

Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush
And leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
See him numb, see him crushed
See him numb, see him crushed

Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush him
And leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
Leave him crushed
Leave him numb, leave him crushed

I'll watch the sun go down this fall
I've watched the night reign
Please note that casual
Observers are always the first to go
So this is for me and my boys
We'll always play our part
To kick and scream
To be the ones you hate to know

I could never turn my back
Because this is who I know
You know all that is the truth
We are all we have
In a world that corrupts
Our struggling soul
You know all that is the truth

If you blink don't do it twice
I've still got something to say here
I will bear my heart to expose my soul
If honesty has a price
Then I won't fucking pay, dear
We will take our dreams straight to the grave

Choke on this and on my words
And on us and my honesty
It's of no consequence
Because I've see the opulence
The beauty I've held in my eyes
If only for seconds
What will never take away
What we have built together
With our hands, with our hearts
With our minds

If you blink don't do it twice
I've still got something to say here
I will bear my heart to expose my soul
If honesty has a price
Then I won't fucking pay, dear
We will take our dreams straight to the grave

[Solo]

If this is just in our heads
Then we'll keep on living the perfect lie
One day at a time
God bless our cheating hearts and damn your lies

If this is just in our heads
Then we'll keep on living the perfect lie
One day at a time
God bless us

If you blink do it twice
I've still got something to say here
I will bear my heart to expose my soul
If honesty has a price
Then I won't fucking pay, dear
We will take our dreams straight to the grave

You took me home
I drank too much
'Cause of you my liver turned to dust
Cold rust taste
A cruel creeping cold pain
Do you understand what I mean?

When you feel your soul drop to the floor
Like a hole
Like an open bleeding sore
Then you'll have bled like I bled
And you'll have wept as I've wept

Suck me down, it's time to rock and roll
Let's hit the bar, let's lose control
One false move, you took me home
One false move, you're all alone

But it looks so good and it feels so nice
I paid the price
I'll cut you out just to hear you scream
Get away from, get away from me

And I can feel my heartbeat racing
As I realize what I must do
Get away from
Get away from
Get away from me

I should have turned and ran like hell
Last time I got the taste of you
I should have turned and ran like hell
And I'll see we're through

I should have turned and ran like hell
Last time I got the taste of you
I should have turned and ran like hell
And I'll see we're through
And I'll see we're through

[Solo]

You fell upon me like a plague
Weakness, sweet weakness
But I digress
After all this
You're just like all the rest

Suck me down
It's time to rock and roll
Let's hit the bar, let's lose control
One false move, you took me home
One false move, you're all alone

For my whole life, I have been burning down bridges
My only problem was foresight
I was standing on them, I never looked down
And now I am, knee deep in your bullshit
If you're ready for battle then I'm ready for war
So we can dance if you want lies

How easily we are deceived
How easily we believe lies

I will not run out of ammo, no more bowing my head
If every day is another slug, I will pull them out of my...
I will not run out of ammo, no more bowing my head
For every day is another slug, I will pull them out of my chest

So raise your voices
And hold your hopes up high
Tell your stories, run your mouth
And tell your lies

After all this time, don't wash my blood off of your hands
Let it crack and stain you, so the outside can match the in
Oh, does it make you the fucking toast of the town?
To pull yourself up, on those you're always putting down

So raise your voices
And hold your hopes up high
Tell your stories, run your mouth
And tell your lies

So raise your voices
And hold your hopes up high
Tell your stories, run your mouth
And tell your...

You curse my name, burn down my house
As I bare my soul you cast your doubt
And I can live without

You're passing judgement (you're passing judgement)
With side long glances (with side long glances)
Am I splitting hairs or - do I dare to say?
You've had your chances
You're passing judgement
With side long glances
Am I splitting hairs or - do I dare to say?
You've had your chances

So raise your voices
And hold your hopes up high
Tell your stories, run your mouth
And tell your lies

So raise your voices
And hold your hopes up high
Tell your stories, run your mouth
And tell your lies

Curse my name
Curse my name
Curse my name
Curse my name

Fuck!

So here we are again
The same fork in the road
I hate you. You love me
This story's getting old

The day that I opened up
You shut me out for good
Forgive, forget, fuck you
You are a liar and a whore

So take what you want and leave
You'll never get another part of

I remember the day that
I thought I would be free
I poured out my soul to you
Exposed everything

I take it out
My heart's broke
My hand is much the same
I did my best to drink you away

So take what you want and leave
You'll never get another part of

You are poison on man's lips
Lured in by the curves of your hips
Come here boy, stand by me
Look my way, have another drink

I should have got up...
I should have got up and left you

And I will never ever be your lover again
As far as I'm concerned, we are not even friends
This may not seem to subtle to you
The point I'm trying to make is we are completely through

So take what you want and leave
You'll never get another part of

You are poison on man's lips
Lured in by the curves of your hips
Come here boy, stand by me
Look my way, have another drink

You put a bullet in my head
Turned black thoughts to red
This could all end in tragedy
I dream of your death
Lay you down to rest
I won't look back in fond memory

But time marches on like a soldier, are you a killer?
I think I know what you are - a thief in the night
And though it's taken me so very long to figure you out
You're throwing stones, your glass castle is falling down
On top of your good times
I'm not interested in working this out

You put a bullet in my head
Turned black thoughts to red
This could all end in tragedy

And that's what you are
A sad plastic fucking mess
Don't come to me with how your tired
Used up and just barely getting by
Because I would walk on by and not even
Not even kick you when you're down
Though you would deserve it
Because you are lower than the lowest dog
But this is the part where I say goodbye
And let the sands of time blow over us
Say goodbye, and let the sands of time blow over us

You've never had to crawl
You've never had to see
What it feels like to be
So trapped underneath

The weight of someone's world
Comes crashing down on me
I was longing to be free
I put the bullet in you and me

This is my farewell to you and I
This will all end in tragedy
This is my farewell to you and I
This will all end in tragedy

This is my farewell to you and I
This will all end in tragedy
This is my farewell to you and I
This will all end in tragedy

Woah, this will all end in tragedy
Woah, this will all end in tragedy
Woah, this will all end in tragedy
Woah, this will all end in tragedy

This will all end in tragedy
His will all end in tragedy
