Papa Roach - Getting Away With Murder lyrics

Blood (Empty Promises)
Not Listening
Stop Looking Start Seeing
Take Me
Getting Away With Murder
Be Free
Done With You
Scars
Sometimes
Blanket Of Fear
Tyranny Of Normality
Do Or Die

Blood (Empty Promises)

I will forgive, but I won't forget,
And I hope you know you've lost my respect.

You better watch out
If you don't know what's goin' on around you.
You better think twice
Before you fly off the handle and lose it.
You better join us
Before you get lost in the shuffle.
We're gonna rise against
The demons that are gonna try and hold you down.

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love,
The ones you love,
The ones you love,
The ones you love,

'Cause I'm not a pawn for you to play in your fuckin' game.
I've got dignity
And a dream that I want to achieve.
Under pressure,
You crumble down. You let me down,
And I'm not deaf,
And all I hear are your empty promises.

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Blood!
The ones you love,
Blood!
The ones you love,
Blood!
The ones you love?

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?

Yes, it runs in my blood to betray the ones you love.
Yes, it runs in my blood to betray the ones you love.
Yes, it runs in my blood to betray the ones you love.
Yes, it runs in my blood to betray the ones you love.

I will forgive, but I won't forget,
And I hope you know you've lost my respect.

Yes, it runs in your blood
To betray the ones you love!
Yes, it runs in your blood
To betray the ones you love!

Not Listening

I'm not listening, not anymore.
The more I learn, the more I ignore.
I'm not listening, not anymore.
The more I hear, the more I ignore.
I'm not listening, not anymore, no.

'Cause you gotta be bigger, and be faster, and be stronger
If you're gonna survive any longer.
In this lifetime, it better be the right time;
The first time might be your last time.
Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose?
No, I'm not a failure. I've got something to prove.

I'm not listening, not anymore.
The more I learn, the more I ignore.
I'm not listening, not anymore.
The more I hear, the more I ignore,
The more I ignore.

'Cause I've lost my innocence,
And I'm a stranger, a life changer.
I'm a man that's not afraid of danger.
I walk my own path and blaze my own trail
Because I'm not afraid to derail.
I won't get in line or be a middleman.
So fuck you. I make my own plans,
And I got respect, and I don't neglect
The people that I really care to protect.
Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose?
No I'm not a failure. I've got something to prove.

I'm not listening, not anymore.
The more I learn, the more I ignore.
I'm not listening, not anymore.
The more I hear, the more I ignore.
Told you before I won't listen no more.
I told you before. Let's settle the score.
I told you before I won't listen no more.
I told you before. Let's settle the score!

If not me, then who?
If not now, then when?
If not me, then who?
If not now, then when?

Shut it up! Put it out!
Blow it up! Set it off!
Fuck it up! Check it out!
Put it up! Blow it up right now!

Stop Looking Start Seeing

Hit or Miss
Fuck or Fight

It's time to live your life
Go ahead, I know I'm right
I'm gonna lay it on the line

Put yourself in my shoes
Would you stand up for your rights
Line 'em up, and knock 'em down
I'm not running scared tonight

I have found these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Cause I won't take this anymore these walls
I've climbed these walls before these walls
There's a time to lead and a time to follow

I see the wall, I'm closing in
And I feel like I'm in danger
My enemy is not alone
In the mirror there's a stranger
As I tried to break out
My panic lead to fear
Hopeless, I am alone
I'm afraid the end is near

The truth doesn't always have to hurt

I've climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Cause I won't take this anymore these walls
I've climbed these walls before these walls
There's a time to lead and a time to follow

Stop lookin', Start seeing
Now right now
Stop lookin', Start seeing
Now right now

The truth doesn't always have to hurt

I have climbed these walls before
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
I have climbed these walls before
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
And I'll never be the same
And I'll never be the same

Why does the truth have to always hurt?

Take Me

Take me and let me in,
Don't break me and shut me out.

So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out.

I lit my pain on fire and I watched it all burn.
Now I'm dancing in the ashes and there's no one else around.
'cause I wanna be part of something,
This is just a story of a broken soul.

As days go by my heart grows cold.
I can't seem to let this all pass me by.
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out.

I'm in the heavens.
And I'm burning in a hell.
My soul was in a coma and none of my friends can tell, that
I'm reaching out and getting nothing, this is just a story of a broken soul

As days go by my heart grows cold.
I can't seem to let this all pass me by.
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out.
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out.
Don't shut me out.

Does anyone around me feel the same?
Put your fist up and vent your pain! [x4]

As days go by my heart grows cold.
I can't seem to let this all pass me by.
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out.
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out.

As days go by my heart grows cold.
I can't seem to let this all pass me by.

Take me don't break me.

Getting Away With Murder

[Verse 1]
Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am waiting for no disaster

[Chorus]
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is
I'm getting away with murder

Getting away, Getting away, Getting away

[Verse 2]
I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when...
I... don't... even... need to
I never look back 'cause I don't even want to
And I don't need to
Because I'm getting away with murder

[Chorus]
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is
I'm getting away with murder

Getting away [x9]

Murder

[Verse 3]
Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am craving this disaster

[Chorus]
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is
I'm getting away with murder

Getting away, Getting away, Getting away

[Chorus]
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the trurth I am
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is
I'm getting away with murder.

Be Free

I woke up and I feel like shit
I don't remember last night I'm getting sick of this
I hit the bottle when I got off stage
And got piss drunk stupid and I went in a rage
I think I might have got in a fight
Because my knuckles were bloody and I don't feel all right

I hit the bottle and I don't even care
They say I'm going to hell but I am already there

Sick and tired of being sick and tired

I wanna be free from this ball and chain
Be free from this life of pain
Be free from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you

Now I'm full of guilt and shame
I can't point a finger cause there's no one to blame
So I say I'll never do it again
But when the sun goes down
You are my only friend
I think that I am starting to see
I have become everything I never wanted to be
I'm really getting sick of myself
Cause when I look into the mirror I see somebody else

Sick and tired of being sick and tired

I wanna be free from this ball and chain
Be free from this life of pain
Be free from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you
(x2)

Sick and tired of being sick and tired
So sick and tired of being sick and tired(x2)

I wanna be free from this ball and chain
Be free from this life of pain
Be free from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you(x2)

I wanna be free from you (x2)

Done With You

I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
There's no salvation in the comfort of you (comfort of you)
And I finally realize your tearing me apart

So help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you

You've made my life completely miserable
You drove me to the edge, you've caused me all this pain
But I always loved you cause your "oh so special" ( "oh so special" )
I'm broken and I'm alone and I cannot maintain

So help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you

Done with you ( I am done with you )

I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart

Help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is near
Help me. save me
Tell me that the end is here

I am done with you
Because you and me are through
You couldn't help me, you couldn't save me
Now I know the end is here
I am done with you

Scars

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me
That the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed 'cause you came around
Why don't you just go home?
'Cause you channeled all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassion's in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You should have never come around
Why don't you just go home?
'Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand

GO FIX YOURSELF!

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I've gotta move on with my own life

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel.

Sometimes

I'm dreaming about tomorrow
I'm thinking of yesterday
I consume myself in sorrow
This moment in time is what I betray

But I am searching for the answers
And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
Because I don't know which way to go

And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
Because my life is spinning is out of control

I never know what you want
I never know what you need

It was difference from the start
When you cut me in two, I never thought I would bleed

But I am searching for the answers
And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
Because I don't know which way to go

And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
Because my life is spinning is out of control

I will call this alone
I don't need nobody's help
I've got to do this myself
Alone alone alone

And I look around
sometimes I get sad
Because I don't know which way to go

And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
Because my life is spinning is out of control

And I look around
sometimes I get sad
Because I don't know which way to go

And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
Because my life is spinning is out of control

Blanket Of Fear

I am awake under this blanket of fear
and I must say, none of the people I see belong here
Now everyone's asleep
I am awake and I am dreaming
I believe it's time for the rude awakening

-Chorus-
So hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality
Hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality

I believe, the only thing we have to fear is
fear itself, and the man behind the curtain
I heard him say; "Dreamers have become and endangered species, and I am aware of the rude awakening."

-Chorus-
So hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality
Hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality

I'm falling in my dream; I finally hit the ground
I'm falling in my dream; I finally hit the ground
...I hit the ground

Because I, I can't keep my mind from going into dark places
Cause I , I cant keep my mind, we're going into dark places

-Chorus-
So hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality
Hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality

I'm falling in my dream; I finally hit the ground
I'm falling in my dream; I finally hit the ground

Tyranny Of Normality

The media is the seduction of human desire
(Set their money, set their money, on fire)
If you try to sell me the truth then I know you're a liar
A liar

It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality

Our culture has become complacent and has no desire
(Take back, take back our empire)
And the ethical slaughter of truth needs to be retired
retired

It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality

It's the death of outrage
I want to turn a new page
I mourn the death of our age
The obituary�s on the front page
It's the death of outrage
I want to turn a new page
I mourn the death of our age
The obituary�s on the front page
It's the death of outrage
I mourn the death of our age
The obituary�s on the front page

It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality

Do Or Die

Today I saw my hero fall apart
The one who taught me to be strong
On the outside I look fine
But on the inside I am dying

My strength is overcome by pain
My love for you remains the same
The loneliness is setting in
I have no one to free my sins

It's never too late
To live your life
The time is now
It's do or die

It's never too late
To live your life
The time is now
It's yours and mine

Now it's my time to help you out
Cause you were there when I was down
It's hard for me to see you this way
Losing all your sanity

You helped me keep my dreams alive
Without you how will I survive
It's time for me to be a man
Now I finally understand

It's never too late
To live your life
The time is now
It's do or die

It's never too late
To live your life
The time is now
It's yours and mine
(2X)

I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore

Today I saw my hero fall apart
The one who taught me to be strong
On the outside I look fine
But on the inside I am dying

It's never too late
To live your life
The time is now
It's do or die

It's never too late
To live your life
The time is now
It's yours and mine
(3X)

I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore

Yeah
