I sold my soul for you, you cut my life in two
Nightmares from what I've seen and where I've been Made me run from you again Controlling, big brother's eye Containment? I'd rather die We're all part of a new generation Sold our souls to the next temptation Lead us not to our own damnation I've seen what hatred brings I've seen the flesh of kings Blinded my eyes my mouth you've sewn it shut Protecting me from fucking up! Controlling, big brother's eye Containment? I'd rather die We're all part of a new generation Sold our souls to the next temptation Lead us not to our own damnation We're all part of a new generation Sold our souls to the next temptation Lead us not to our own damnation We're all part of a new generation Sold our souls to the next temptation Lead us not to our own damnation We're all part of a new generation Sold our souls to the next temptation Lead us not to our own damnation New generation New generation New generation 02. Ghost
I feel the things I said
But never said how I felt I know I waited much too long Could I get it in your head Without a head full of doubt Looking back it seems that I Went about it all wrong Lying alone in the bed we made Watching headlights on the shades The ghosts that sleeping by your side Are my promises to you that died To you that died Wasn't long ago When forever was our friend But now freedom's what I feel inside It hurts so much to let you go To know we'll never touch again When I walk if I fall down Can I take it in stride Lying alone in the bed we made Watching headlights on the shades The ghosts that sleeping by your side Are my promises to you that died To you that died I might let you go, but i'll never go away I might let you go, but i'll never go away Yeah! I feel the things I said But never said how I felt I know I waited much too long Lying alone in the bed we made Watching headlights on the shades The ghosts that sleeping by your side Are my promises that died Lying alone in the bed we made Watching headlights on the shades The ghosts that sleeping by your side Are my promises that died To you that died To you that died 03. Swallow Me (The Real You)
Everything's changed
All ties are strained To say the least Concepts deranged It's just the way I see you I only see the real you You can't swallow me I'm jagged as the pill you choke on You can't swallow me As long as I can see the real you I can't be blamed To feel this way no more Everything's changed It's just the way I see you I only see the real you You can't swallow me I'm jagged as the pill you choke on You can't swallow me As long as I can see the real you The real you The real you I won't let you pull me down I got my shit together now I won't let you pull me down I got my shit together It's just the way I see you I only see the real you You can't swallow me I'm jagged as the pill you choke on You can't swallow me As long as I can see Everything's changed All ties are strained To say the least Everything's change 04. Born A Beggar
As the day breaks through the doorway
And I'm still chained to this house But you call me and I follow And act like I'm so proud Still reading the sidewalk And it smells like morning news And I don't know, why I still can't Seem to pull away from you Watch the window Time means nothing Watch the window 'Til I see you coming Born a beggar, will you ever See me more than Pavlov's hungry dog See no colours, live another Day to feed on everything you are And you are When the day sleeps and the sunshine No longer burns my eyes And the sound of your footsteps Is the only thing that lies Between me and the feeling That life fills these four walls That cage me completely Just waiting on your call Watch the window Time means nothing Watch the window 'Til I see you coming Born a beggar, will you ever See me more than Pavlov's hungry dog See no colours, live another Day to feed on everything you are On everything you are I run for you, a fall so hard My secrets are buried in the yard Born a beggar, will you ever See me more than Pavlov's hungry dog See no colours, live another Day to feed on everything you are Born a beggar, will you ever See me more than Pavlov's hungry dog See no colours, live another Day to feed on everything you are On everything you are On everything you are On everything you are 05. Thick Is The Skin
Eightball, hanging overhead
Flushed out like Frankenstein One more, for the living dead That's not, me this time Knocked down, I've been down before Yet still we bare the load If I would, want it anymore I just might explode All your heroes have died and left you to Rise from the ashes and live for today Can you take it all When we're standing tall We don't need a wall, built around us Jump into the flame One and all the same We won't feel the pain Thick is the skin, thick is the skin Yeah! Outside, still looking in I'll keep what I've made mine Timebomb strapped to my chin Step down or fall in line All your heroes have died and left you to Rise from the ashes and live for today Can you take it all When we're standing tall We don't need a wall, built around us Jump into the flame One and all the same We won't feel the pain Thick is the skin, thick is the skin Yeah! Hey... Can you take it all When we're standing tall We don't need a wall, built around us Jump into the flame One and all the same We won't feel the pain Thick is the skin Can you take it all When we're standing tall We don't need a wall, built around us Jump into the flame One and all the same We won't feel the pain Thick is the skin, thick is the skin Thick is the skin, thick is the skin Yeah! Hey... 06. See You Around
I never promised you the sunshine
You never handed me the moon We're pulling threads out of our faded silver lining We've grown out of our cocoon The last train is leaving There's nothing more than I can say I didn't mean to bring you down I guess I'll see you around I left the best of my intentions Took it one day at a time It's not like all is lost or that the world is ending We've just fallen from divine The last train is leaving There's nothing more than I can say I didn't mean to bring you down I guess I'll see you around Will I see you around Whatever direction we go Rest assured the one thing we know Things just didn't really go our way It's not like all is lost or that the world is ending We've just fallen from divine The last train is leaving There's nothing more than I can say I didn't mean to bring you down The last train is leaving There's nothing more than I can say I didn't mean to bring you down I guess I'll see you around Will I see you around 07. Mouth Of Voodoo
You're testing my patience
I've got nothing but time You'll never break down The walls in my mind Your fetishes are nothing more than a game When I truly test your threshold of pain Let me be in you ceremony Burn me in your ritual I can rise with you below me We'll walk in time as we fall into the mouth of voodoo Then we can shine, shine, shine And I'm sure the sun won't mind Then we can shine, shine, shine - oh yeah! Your love is so blinding My lust is a curse It's painful to wonder but waiting is worse You're sticking your pins now It's taking it's toll Crush and obsession leave scars on your soul Let me be in you ceremony Burn me in your ritual I can rise with you below me We'll walk in time as we fall into the mouth of voodoo Then we can shine, shine, shine And I'm sure the sun won't mind Then we can shine, shine, shine Oh yeah! Let me be in you ceremony Burn me in your ritual I can rise with you below me We'll walk in time as we fall into the mouth of voodoo Then we can shine, shine, shine And I'm sure the sun won't mind Then we can shine, shine, shine Then we can shine, shine, shine I'm sure the sun won't mind Yeah! Then we can shine, shine, shine Then we can shine, shine, shine Oh yeah! Oh, oh, oh... 08. One Light
There's a sound in my head
Holy wine, breakin' bread Between time and what we said Drifts the innocence we've shed In this moment there's a day For a sad and broken babe There's a fracture on this Hallowed ground where we lay One light burns, one light fades Behind the door are better days When the light shines on me I'll know the world still turns One light burns, one light burns There's a prayer on the wall One by one say them all Why we run before we crawl Stands the reason that we fall In the flower there's a field Sublime but so surreal There's a fracture on this Sacred ground to be healed One light burns, one light fades Behind the door are better days When the light shines on me I'll know the world still turns One light burns, one light burns One light burns One light burns, one light fades Behind the door are better days When the light shines on me I'll know the world still turns One light burns, one light fades Behind the door are better days When the light shines on me I'll know the world still turns One light burns, one light fades Behind the door are better days When the light shines on me I'll know the world still turns One light burns [x3] 09. I Remember You Two
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you And all the tears you cried, that called my name But when you needed me I came through And when you needed me I came through Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand? Love letters in the sand, I remember you Through the sleepless nights, and every endless day I wanna hear you say I remember you I paint a picture of the days gone by When love went blind but you would make me see I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes So that I knew that you were there for me Time after time you were there for me Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand? Love letters in the sand, I remember you Through the sleepless nights, and every endless day I wanna hear you say I remember you We've had our share of hard times But that's the price we paid And through it all we kept the promise that we made I swear you'll never be lonely Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand? Love letters in the sand, I remember you Through the sleepless nights, and every endless day I wanna hear you say I remember you Remember you! [x5] You, you, you, you, you. 1 2 3 4! 10. Lamb
I have been here for so long
I've carried all the weight 'Til something pulls me underneath the tide Climb to where the air is thin so I can breathe again Still it makes me wonder deep inside Nothing's free No one bleeds We're all machines Shadows of you sins are following you When it sucks you in, it's swallowing you King of the mountain, that's what I am Everybody's someone else's sacrificial lamb Space between the world and me defying gravity 'Til something pulls me closer to the ground Drink the chemicals we spill Our eye is on the kill While hell is freezing over Over... Nothing's free No one bleeds We're all machines Shadows of you sins are following you When it sucks you in, it's swallowing you King of the mountain, that's what I am Everybody's someone else's sacrificial lamb Shadows of you sins are following you When it sucks you in, it's swallowing you King of the mountain, that's what I am Everybody's someone else's sacrificial.. Shadows of you sins are following you When it sucks you in, it's swallowing you King of the mountain, that's what I am Everybody's someone else's sacrificial lamb Lamb! 11. Down From Underground
Building shrines to gods you'll never know
Praying for rain, settling for snow Spinning out of times to beats impaired Do you know your name? Do you even care? Can you live your life Staring at the lights Naked on the ice? If it comes too fast, will you get it back When it all goes black? Down Goin' down Goin' down from Down from underground Icons that you hail are all mechanical Feeling the pull Lost in the fold Digging through a hole of discontent What did you learn? Or did you forget? Can you live your life Staring at the lights Naked on the ice? If it comes too fast Will you get it back When it all goes black? Down Goin' down Goin' down from Down from underground And just what should real life be Why don't you show me, the fiction of reality The so called life that I see And just what real life should be Can't be what you have shown me If it comes too fast Will you get it back when it all goes black? Down Goin' down Goin' down from Down from underground Down Goin' down Goin' down from Down from underground 12. Hittin' A Wall
Peel me like dead skin
Hate to the bone I drag you through my field of thorns And drop you like a stone Hold me under water Kick me to the curb All my wolves are at your door Take me at my word Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall, yeah! Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall, yeah! Look at me and you're seeing a monster You ain't seen it all If you're almighty Holier than thou Seems we've got a discrepancy We should solve it now I've built a bigger mountain Now you want it gone If you expect to beat me down Brother bring it on Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall, yeah! Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall, yeah! Look at me and you're seeing a monster You ain't seen it all Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall, yeah! Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall, yeah! Look at me and you're seeing a monster You ain't seen it all You want to wrestle with my morals You think there's something I can learn You toss me out like an abortion And I'm the one that fucking burns? Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall, yeah! Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall, yeah! Look at me and you're seeing a monster You ain't seen it all Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall, yeah! Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall, yeah! Look at me and you're seeing a monster You ain't seen it all Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall, yeah! Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall, yeah! Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall, yeah! Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall |
