Tracks



01. Welcome

We're back again
Let's make a toast, come raise your glasses high
To every one of you who doubted us.

We're back again
Let's make a toast, come raise your glasses high
To every one of us since "karma's a bitch right".

02. Dear Insanity

Oh sweet insanity
You take my hand and walk me out into the dark
We walk this road for hours and hours
To the white hills, and the oceans

On a collision course, to hell we march
We're doomed to this now
Oh the irony
If I'm going down I won't go down alone
You're doomed to this one
You're doomed to this now
Hold your breath my dear
We're going under

I've walked this road for hours
To the white hills, and the oceans
I search for solace in this toxic land of sin
Just let me in
Don't wake me up, their songs are soothing
Their wine subdues me
Hold your breath my dear
We're going under

Dreams, my mind won't me lift from my dreams
And thought I try I can't escape my mind
Dreams, my mind won't lift me from my dreams
And though you try you can't escape me

Now you've seen what I've become
Now you've seen what I can do
Now you've seen what I'm capable of

I've walked this road for hours to the white hills, and the oceans
I search for solace in this toxic land of sin
Just let me in
Don't wake me up, their songs are soothing
Their wine subdues me

Welcome to the diary of a man that lost his mind so long ago
Welcome to the shell of a man with a heart so black and cold

Over and over in my head

03. Closure

We're back again, you know we're not fucking around
Got a bottle of jack in our hands, you tryna' keep up kid?
Let's see who hits the ground
We've drank the drinks, we've done the drugs, clearly we don't remember
We've come so far, we've shown them all, without us you'd fall and fade away

They say it all breaks down to keeping your feet on the ground
My sole intention is keeping my head in the clouds
They say that I can't last a day in the real world
I say you wouldn't survive one night in mine

Notorious and shit I wouldn't trade it for the world
I'm infamous but damn you can't help but love this shit

I'm everything we need make this scene what it should have been
Remember platinum albums, sold out stadiums, leave it to me
Let's tell the truth, not to be rude but we're all irrelevant
This music's dead with a bullet in it's head
Let's wake it up

It's so insane, I'm so insane
Going insane, I'm so insane
Leave it to me from here

04. A Lesson Never Learned

Please, you have to help me
This is not my true face
If you could see my soul
As I have seen my soul
I could show it to you
It's rotten
It's poison
Help me please

Please give me a fucking excuse
I beg for just one reason to give you regret

Are you with me or are you on your own?
It's time to choose your side, so choose your side
Are you with me or are you on your own?
It's time to choose your side, so choose your fucking side

Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away
Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away

Hear me now
Get off your knees
Nothing changes when you pray
I'm the closest thing to a god you'll ever know
Get off your knees

Open your eyes
I'll regret never again
And I stand above you

And I can't feel this pain anymore
And I can't carry on this way
I'm hiding behind false eyes

Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away
Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away

Over and over
Over and over

05. To The Stage

I'm out the door, I'm on my ass again like every night before
I'm off the wall, out of my fucking mind, I'm out of control
I'll be the end of her, I'm in her head and in control
She's let me in, now take a sip and let the show begin
The floor's all yours, the house is full
You've made the slip now take the fall
I pull your strings, you're too deep in
So will she sink or swim

Ladies and Gentlemen place your fucking bets,
Here we come

Oh she's down, how very spectacular
What a work of art I've spawned
Man am I proud of myself on this one
She's such a fucking masterpiece
Self destruction in such a pretty little thing

I know that I should walk away
But I can't bring myself to quit this game
She's just a beautiful girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders
I'm just a kick in the teeth from a world that's painted gold

She's out the door, she's on her ass again like every night before
She's off the wall, out of her fucking mind, she's out of control
I was the end of her
In her head, in control

Just like before
I should've told you again
That I'm sorry
I'm so sorry

06. Dedication

You'll never really find those perfect words,
Something more than just, goodbye.

It's hard to remember the good times when there was just so much heartache,
And they deserve more than that.
They deserve more than just one single moment of sadness.

So just remember,
When there's enough love in our hearts to burst like a fuckin' supernova,
Then there's sure as hell enough love in our heart, to spark that famous smile.

We all lose someone at some point in our lives,
But don't ever let go of that smile.

Hold on forever,
Because that's our final dedication.

07. Someone, Somewhere

(Even though I'm on my own)
(I know I'm not alone)
(Cause I know there's someone, somewhere)
(Praying that I make it home)
(So here's one from the heart)
(My life right from the start)
(I need a Home sweet home)
(To call my own)

It was you
That told me I could do this
You put the music in my heart
And how you sang with the band in Memphis
It's hard just to be strong
Not knowing if I've done you proud
I like to imagine
You smile when you hear my songs

Even though I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart
My life right from the start
I need a Home sweet home
To call my own

A letter home
And I know we don't speak much
And we both know I'm not keen to
But I think there's things I've left unsaid
I'm okay, don't worry
I wish I'd been a better kid
I'm trying to slow down
I'm sorry for letting you down

Even though I'm on my own,
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart,
My life right from the start
I need a Home sweet home
To call my own
Yeah!

You know it's just rock and roll
I know you're by my side through it all
My terror twin and I
And I'll take over the world

Even though I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart,
My life right from the start
I need a Home sweet home
To call my own

Even though I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart
My life right from the start
I need a Home sweet home
To call my own

08. Breathless

Get the fuck away from me

I know that I have done wrong and continue to do so but without remorse
I know that I am on a fast track to the grave and I'm headed there alone
I struggle to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man with a conscience
I fight to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man that isn't me

I spend my days looking through pages
Trying to find a way to get away from me
With love to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find a way back inside my mind

I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you save yourself

Yeah!

I spend my days looking through pages
Trying to find a way to get away from me
With love to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find... a way back inside my mind

I need to find
A way back inside my mind [x2]

This is not the end
This is the end of [x3]
This is not the end

Every mistake I've made leaves a scar that burns every day
Yet still I carry on
Without regret
Without remorse
I'm gone
You're better off to walk away
I am corruption, I am sin

Forget my name
Forget my face
Forget my name
Forget my face

09. The Match

Gather round my friends
I need a match and only one match
I think it's time I make my own way
I'm turning my back on this city and I'm not looking back
You'll never hear my name without your chest in flames

I'll make my own mistakes
Even though I never learn
I'm running from myself
If only you could see behind my eyes

Run
Get up, get up
Get on your fucking feet

I'll make my own mistakes
Even though I never learn
I'm running from myself
If only you could see behind my eyes

Follow me now I could use some company
Bring your friends and we'll burn the city to the ground
Burn their temples

The fires fill the skies as the smoke fills my lungs
What a beautiful notion
A single action brings this city to motion

10. Another Bottle Down

I'm so done with it, I won't go back again and
I'm okay with this, that I'll be in my own
Until the day I die, which shouldn't be that long
So I'll just do what I do and make the most of it

I won't fall down again
My heart's now dead and gone
And I'm still breathing
I made it out alive

Oh fuck this is fun I just can't believe I didn't find this before
To just indulge even if it kills me
Who gives a fuck if we die

Another bottle down
You should really try it sometime
Cause it feels so good

Without a care if a heart gets broken
You'll all learn in the end that there's a better way
Baby move in closer, you couldn't hurt me if you tried

I won't fall down again
My heart's now dead and gone
And I'm still breathing
I made it out alive

Take a seat my dear
Make yourself comfortable this could take a while
Crack another, dear
I can see now and I wouldn't change a thing
Life should burn with such a fucking flame
If not you've only got yourself to blame

11. Reckless & Relentless

Music is fucking dead
It's thanks to you cunts stabbing it in the fucking chest
You, and every one of these fake, righteous, undeserving bands
Fuck you

Through sin and self destruction I stumble home, never alone
My only home is the bottom of a bottle and a rolled up bill and I'm ready to go
I live the same day in and out and I don't care how long I last
All the girls and drink and drugs but don't get me wrong
I'm having a fucking blast

I am rock and roll
Livin' the life that you can only dream of
I am rock and roll
At it's fucking finest

Just like the cigarettes hurt
Just like the whiskey burns
Whoa whoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn
[x2]

Not gonna stop until my heart stops beating
Not gonna stop until my last breath comes
I'm gonna go until I hit the floor and I can't find my back to my feet anymore

Pass me a glass and let's destroy everything in this fucking place
Life at 300 miles an hour
You pussies can't keep up with this fucking pace

I am rock and roll
Livin' the life that you can only dream of
I am rock and roll
At it's fucking finest

Just like the cigarettes hurt
Just like the whiskey burns
Whoa whoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn
[x2]

I've spent the last two years tearing apart my soul
I'll put the next two in to kick-start the good old days of rock and roll

Without remorse, without regret, without a second thought
You hit the nail on the head with the back of your fucking throat

I am rock and roll
Livin' the life that you can only dream of
I am rock and roll
At it's fucking finest

Music is fucking dead
It's thanks to you cunts stabbing it in the fucking chest
You, and every one of these fake, righteous, undeserving bands
Fuck you

12. Morte Et Dabo

Morte et Dabo...
Morte et Dabo...

So he came forth and said unto me:
"Son you are forsaken"
Condemned for the sins that you live,
I offer you forgiveness.

So he came forth and said unto me:
"Son you are forsaken"
Condemned for the sins that you live,
I offer you forgiveness.

Bow down before me,
Bow down before me.

I'll never bow to he who claims to be divine;
I'll tear down your gates with my bare fucking hands;
And burn the world that you rule over,
No matter how convinced you are you're not a God of mine;
You're not a fucking God of mine.

I never believed in you,
From what I see it was justified;
I never believed in you, in you.

This power over the masses is a gift you don't deserve;
When your blood spills, I'll drink from your skull;
You can run but you can't hide.
Bitch, I'll fucking find you!
I'll tear your eyes right out of your self-righteous face.
Lord, I'll fucking find you!
I'll tear your tongue out of your rancid fucking mouth.

Heaven will, burn to the fucking ground;
Your world will crumble, and fall from the skies;
Blood will spill, and rain upon the earth;
Your reign is over, and I'll wear your crown.

This is your demise;
I know you can feel it in your chest.
This is your demise;
It's getting closer.
This is your demise;
I'm creeping from the depths of hell.
This is your demise;
I know where you sleep.

I never believed in you,
From what I see it was justified.
I never believed in you, in you.

Walk away to end the world
What a way to end the world,
Walk away to end the world
With false hope in a false God.
What a way to end the world,
With false hope in you.

Walk away to end the world,
With false hope in a false God,
Walk away to end the world,
With false hope in you.

Walk away to end the world.
What a way to end the world
