Sh... quiet, you might piss somebody off
Like me motherfucker, you've been at it for too long While you feed off others' insecurities You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds (Self-righteousness is wearing thin) Lies inside your head your best friend (Heart bleeds but not for fellow man) Broken glass, your fake reflection I've had enough It's time for something real I don't respect the words you're speaking Gone too far, a clone So how does it feel to know that someone's kid in the heart of America Has blood on their hands, fighting to defend your rights? So you can maintain the lifestyle that insults his family's existence Well, where I'm from we have a special salute we aim high in the air Towards all those pompous assholes who spend their days pointing fingers Fuck you Shh... quiet, you might piss somebody off Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long I'll be damned if you count me in As part of your generous hypocrisy collecting enemies Tabloid gossip queen worthless man (There's no need for us to bury you) Selfish agenda, once again (Right this way, you've dug your own grave) I've had enough it's time for something real Don't respect the words you're speaking gone too far, a clone All the way from the east to the west We've got this high society looking down on their very foundation Constantly reminding us that our actions are the cause of all their problems Pointing the fingers in every direction and Blaming their own nation for who wins the elections They've never contributed a fucking thing to the country they love to criticize Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue Depictions we see, try and get through Admitting mistakes can't hurt I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first Shhh... quiet, you might piss somebody off Self-righteousness is wearing thin (Lies inside your head your best friend) Heart beats but not for fellow man (Broken glass, your fake reflection) I've had enough it's time for something real I don't respect the words you're speaking gone too far, a clone 02. Almost Easy
I feel insane every single time I'm asked to compromise
'cause I'm afraid, I'm stuck in my ways And that's the way you stay So how long did I expect love to out weigh ignorance? Now that look on your face may force the scale to tip I'm not insane, I'm not insane I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane (Mother) Come back to me, it's almost easy. (Set it all) Come back again, it's almost easy. Shame pulses through my heart From the things I've done to you. It's hard to face but the fact remains that This is nothing new. I let you down inside with suicidal memories, Selfish beneath the skin But deep inside I'm not insane. I'm not insane, I'm not insane. I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane. (Mother) Come back to me, it's almost easy. (Set it all) Come back to me, it's almost easy. (You'll learn your lesson) Come back again, it's almost easy. (but still you'll fall) Come back again, it's almost easy. Now that I've lost you it kills me to say (Hurts to say) I try to hold on as you've slowly slipped away. I'm losing the fight. Treated you so wrong, now let me make it alright. (Make it all right) I'm not insane, I'm not insane. (chuckling) I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane. (Mother) Come back to me, it's almost easy. (Set it all) Come back to me, it's almost easy. (You'll learn your lesson) Come back again, it's almost easy. (but still you'll fall) Come back again, it's almost easy. 03. Scream
Caught up in this madness too blind to see
Woke animal feelings in me Took over my sense and I lost control I'll taste your blood tonight You know I make you wanna scream You know I make you wanna run from me baby but know it's too late you've wasted all your time Relax while you're closing your eyes to me So warm as I'm setting you free With your arms by your side there's no struggling Pleasure's all mine this time You know I make you wanna scream You know I make you wanna run from me baby but know it's too late you've wasted all your time Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring Cover me, unwanted clemency Scream till there's silence Scream while there's life left, vanishing Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire perishing We've all had a time where we've lost control We've all had our time to grow I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right I'll hunt again one night You know I make you wanna scream You know I make you wanna run from me baby but know it's too late you've wasted all your time Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring Cover me, unwanted clemency Scream till there's silence Scream while there's life left, vanishing Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire perishing Some live repressing their instinctive feelings Protest the way we're built don't point the blame on me Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would if I ravaged your body Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would if I ravaged your mind Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring Cover me, unwanted clemency Scream till there's silence Scream while there's life left, vanishing Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire Perishing 04. Afterlife
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
so unsure but it seems, cause we've been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be Arrived too early And when I think of all the places I just don't belong I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain Can leave this place but refrain, cause we've been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall) No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall) So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign I've made up my mind Gave me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might take me back inside when the time is right Loved ones back home all crying cause they're already missing me I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be (I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy) Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me (Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live) I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might take me back inside when the time is right 05. Gunslinger
Yeah, you've been alone
I've been gone for far too long But with all that we've been through After all this time I'm coming home to you Never let it show The pain I've grown to know 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes My heart's always with you now I won't question why so many have died My prayers have made it through yeah 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you Letters keep me warm Helped me through the storm But with all that we've been through After all this time I'm coming home to you I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes My heart's always with you now I won't question why so many have died My prayers have made it through yeah 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you I've always been true I've waited so long just to come hold you I'm making it through It's been far too long, we've proven our love over time's so strong, in all that we do The stars in the night, they lend me their light to bring me closer to heaven with you (Bring me closer) But with all that we've been through After all this time I'm coming home to you I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes My heart's always with you now I won't question why so many have died My prayers have made it through yeah 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you And with all that we've been through After all this time I'm coming home to you 06. Unbound (The Wild Ride)
Somewhere life is good, and things go as they should
it's hard to find, but that's alright yeah Searching for the way, push harder everyday It's deep inside, that shining light yeah But I'm scarred, by barriers placed in my path I'm scathed This ride that takes me through life Leads me into darkness but emerges into light No one can ever slow me down I'll stay unbound Sometimes when we're young, and always on the run It gets so dark and I know that place yeah So don't be too concerned, you've got a lot to learn Well so do I and we've got plenty of time yeah Don't fall off the track yet with so many races to go Hold on This ride that takes me through life Leads me into darkness but emerges into light No one can ever slow me down I'll stay unbound Some live so wrong, with what we do is each his own But living in fear, endless shame for countless years I never lived in fear I knew I'd die another day I never viewed my life as something... slipping away Some live so wrong, with what we do is each his own But living in fear, endless shame for countless years I never lived in fear I knew I'd die another day I never viewed my life as something... slipping away There's nothing here to take for granted with each breath that we take the hands of time strip youth from our bodies, we fade, memories remain, as time goes on There's nothing here to take for granted with each breath that we take the hands of time strip youth from our bodies, we fade, memories remain, as time goes on 07. Brompton Cocktail
(Out of time...)
Doc, I'm dying, I'm feeling compromised (feeling compromised) and so dehumanized (and so dehumanized) I lost my final fight to disease, I feel that this is where it ends I need that shot to enter my vein My Brompton Cocktail blend 'Cause I can't feel my face I won't struggle on In a world so cold In a world so wrong I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long) Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong in a lie... I'm tired, induced euphoria (induced euphoria) to help me move along (help me move along) I wanna meet my maker in peace, i want to feel alive again So put that smile back on my face and mix it strong my friend 'Cause I can't feel my face I won't struggle on In a world so cold In a world so wrong I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long) Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong And I take my life tonight 'cause I have the right to die how I wanna and leave how I arrived, so alive I believe my sins have been forgiven and I believe my choice will save me from this life please don't question why my sins have been forgotten I believe I'll find peace in afterlife please don't question why I left this way 'Cause I can't feel my face I won't struggle on In a world so cold In a world so wrong I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long) Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong And I take my life tonight 'cause I have the right to die how I wanna and leave how I arrived, so alive (Alive) 08. Lost
Centuries pass and still the same
War in our blood, some things never change Fighting for land and personal gain better your life, justify our pain The end is knocking The end is knocking We've all been lost for most of this life (lost for most of this life) Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us And I know that most of us just ain't right (most of us just ain't right) Following the wrong steps, being led by pride How many lives will we take How many hearts destined to break Nowhere to run, can't escape Full of ourselves, tied to our fate The end is knocking The end is knocking, yeah We've all been lost for most of this life (lost for most of this life) Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us And I know that most of us just ain't right (most of us just ain't right) Following the wrong steps, being led by pride With peace of mind so hard to find We're dwelling on the drastic signs Another way to numb our mind And as you close your eyes tonight and pray for a better life you'll see it flying helplessly away We've all been lost for most of this life (lost for most of this life) Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us And I know that most of us just ain't right (most of us just ain't right) Following the wrong steps, being led by pride 09. A Little Piece Of Heaven
Before the story begins, is it such a sin,
for me to take what's mine, until the end of time? We were more than friends, before the story ends, And I will take what's mine, create what God would never design Our love had been so strong for far too long, I was weak with fear that something would go wrong, before the possibilities came true, I took all possibility from you Almost laughed myself to tears, conjuring her deepest fears Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times, I can't believe it, Ripped her heart out right before her eyes, Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it She was never this good in bed even when she was sleepin' now she's just so perfect I've never been quite so fucking deep in it goes on and on, and on, I can keep you lookin' young and preserved forever, with a fountain sprayed on your youth whenever 'Cause I really always knew that my little crime would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs and I know, I know it's not your time but bye, bye and a word to the wise when the fire dies you think it's over but it's just begun but baby don't cry You had my heart, at least for the most part 'cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart let's make a new start 'cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah but baby don't cry Now possibilities I'd never considered, are occurring the likes of which I'd never heard, Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave, to repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved Smiling right from ear to ear Almost laughed herself to tears Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times I can't believe it Ripped his heart out right before his eyes Eyes over easy Eat it, eat it, eat it Now that it's done I realize the error of my ways I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave I gotta make up for what I've done 'Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven while you burned in hell, no peace forever 'Cause I really always knew that my little crime would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs and I know, I know it's not your time but bye, bye and a word to the wise when the fire dies you think it's over but it's just begun but baby don't cry You had my heart, at least for the most part 'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart Let's make a new start 'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah But baby don't cry I will suffer for so long (What will you do, not long enough) To make it up to you (I pray to God that you do) I'll do whatever you want me to do (Well then I'll break you unchained) And if it's not enough (If it's not enough, If it's not enough) If it's not enough (Not enough) Try again (Try again) And again (And again) Over and over again We're coming back, coming back We'll live forever, live forever Let's have wedding, have a wedding Let's start the killing, start the killing Do you take this man in death for the rest of your unnatural life? (Yes, I do.) Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your unnatural life? (I do) I now pronounce you... 'Cause I really always knew that my little crime would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs and I know, I know it's not your time but bye, bye And a word to the wise when the fire dies you think it's over but it's just begun but baby don't cry You had my heart, at least for the most part 'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart Let's make a new start 'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah But baby don't cry 10. Dear God
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find While I recall all the words you spoke to me Can't help but wish that I was there Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah Dear God the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away We all need that person who can be true to you But I left her when I found her And now I wish I'd stayed 'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no Once again There's nothing here for me on this barren road There's no one here while the city sleeps and all the shops are closed Can't help but think of the times I've had with you Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah Dear God the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away We all need that person who can be true to you I left her when I found her And now I wish I'd stayed 'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no Once again Some search, never finding a way Before long, they waste away I found you, something told me to stay I gave in, to selfish ways And how I miss someone to hold when hope begins to fade... A lonely road, crossed another cold state line Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find Dear God the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away We all need the person who can be true to you I left her when I found her And now I wish I'd stayed 'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no Once again |
