Doomsday
Honor
Falling Down
Becoming The Bull
When Two Are One
Lose It
No One Cares
Can't Happen Here
Slow Burn
Blow
Lead Sail (And A Paper Anchor)

Doomsday

Go
A rush of blood
To my head leaves me winded and wanting
To feel the weakness in my body
Beaten and crushed like my soul
I walked the streets flirting death
But I never kissed back
I'm so lucky so cursed so fucked up
But that's the way that it goes
Its the ebb and the flow
I wish that I could give you my time
Give you my time

[Chorus]
Seems that doomsday has come early this year
The last angel has gone
I can't remember the last time I cried
The last angel has gone home

The memories stacking up
And they pull at my guts
What do I have to do to end it
The better days hacked away
Leaving me only pain
This regret is never ending
But in the blink of an eye
This life passes you by
I wish that I could give you my time
Give you my time

[Chorus]
Seems that doomsday has come early this year
The last angel has gone
I can't remember the last time I cried
The last angel has gone home

I can't remember
I can't remember
I can't remember the last time I cried

[Chorus]
Seems that doomsday has come early this year
The last angel has gone
I can't remember the last time I cried
The last angel has gone home

Honor

Resolute a stance of defiance
Always teetering on the bring
Nothing can hold you back when
When you're not holding back a thing
Open arms (we) embrace tomorrow
Closed fists, tarnishing today
We're not afraid to open our mouths and scream
We believe in what we say

Covered in sweat and blood
Yet still out heads held high
Actions have consequences
When you life for foolish pride
Been careful not to lose ourselves
Stand together one passion one hate
We believe in a better tomorrow
We believe in what we say

We'll fight our battles we'll wage our wars
Settle the scores with honor and blood
We'll wear our scars like medals of hope
Like medals of hope
Like medals of hope
We'll fight our battles we'll wage our wars
Settle the scores with honor and blood
We'll wear our scars like medals of hope
Like medals of hope
Like medals of hope

[chorus:]
Like a whisper to the dusk
An oath against the shadows
Denying the dark
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT 'til the break of dawn
Like a prayer unto the dawn
In arms against the shadows
Destroying the dark (whisper to the dusk)
In arms against the shadows
Destroying the dark (whisper to the dusk)
In arms against the shadows
Destroying the dark (whisper to the dusk )
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT 'till the break of dawn
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT 'till the break of dawn
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT 'till the break of dawn
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT 'till the break of dawn

Falling Down

You're always looking back,
runnin' from the past.
You're always sweating me about the next big heart attack.
You're lookin' over your shoulder starin' down the path.
(I'm fallin' down)
Fallin' down
Fallin' down

[Chorus x2]
It's in your head all the voices mistaken,
shake it off shake it off.
We're all dyin' in the end.

I terrorize me images so horrible,
so horrible
To clear my thoughts I drill a hole into my skull
clean up my brains and sweep them underneath the rug
I need them more than I needed any other drug
I'm fallin' down
fallin' down
fallin' down

[Chorus x2]
It's in your head all the voices mistaken,
shake it off shake it off.
We're all dyin' in the end.

Hey, hey, hey
Come on

I'm fallin' down
fallin' down
fallin' down

[Chorus x2]
It's in your head all the voices mistaken
shake it off shake it off
We're all dyin' in the end

Becoming The Bull

Come on!!!

Grab the bull by the horns the old adage goes
Nobody tells you where to go from there
Perceived my fate full in you
Decisions have to be made
The best path is the hardest earned

[Chorus]
Back and forth the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today I'll become the bull

There is so much at stake
I stumble I lose my place
Pride and arrogance surrounded by sin
Destiny takes it's hold
Fight it or let it go
But I choose how the day will end

G-G-G-G-Go!!
[Chorus]
Back and forth the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today I'll become the bull [x2]

This small heart can get lonely
I lose myself inside myself
No one can touch you when you're outside staring in
Remove myself from this rat race

[Chorus]
Back and forth the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
The most unsettling of times
Today I'll become the bull [x5]

When Two Are One

Bang!
Explosions in my head that just won't quit
A train is crashing through the wall around my heart
and left it only dead, obliterated.

Stop!
My breathing in the night when your not there
The silence ringing through my ears
and all I want to do is hear your voice
but you're not there

Drawn together
pain is rushed through
Slight of hand, blink
we won't go up in smoke
Things colliding
love undying

Chorus (2x)
Like the rising tide
beating hearts grow but never die
to simplify
I'll stand by your side
close my eyes
hope we'll never die (NEVER DIE)

Burn
take away the pain of being me
Soothe my soul caress my heart
and end my fear of my bad memories
Eradicated

Pain
like gunshots running against the silent night
My love was silent and these words
were stronger than the rest unstoppable,
Unstoppable

Drawn together
pain is rushed through
Slight of hand, blink
we won't go up in smoke
Things colliding
love undying

Like the rising tide
beating hearts grow but never die
to simplify
I'll stand by your side
close my eyes
hope we'll never die(NEVER DIE)

Like the rising tide
beating hearts grow but never die
to simplify
I'll stand by your side
close my eyes
hope we'll never die(NEVER DIE)
we'll never die(NEVER DIE)

(Bridge)

Drawn together
pain is rushed through
Slight of hand, blink
we won't go up in smoke
Things colliding
love undying

Like the rising tide
beating hearts grow but never die
to simplify
I'll stand by your side
close my eyes
hope we'll never die

Like the rising tide
beating hearts grow but never die
to simplify
I'll stand by your side
close my eyes
hope we'll never die(NEVER DIE)
We'll never die(NEVER DIE!(DIE))

YEAH!

Lose It

Standing on the edge,
battle in my head,
I'm dying to know
I'm dying to know

If I take this leap,
to fail or succeed,
I'm dying to know
I'm dying to know

[Chorus]
This is it, I've shaken.
My body's aching,
I lose my hold,
I will let go.
This is it, I'm falling.
My wings need to grow.
I lose my hold,
I will let go.

There's so many roads,
pitfalls filled with doubt.
I'm dying to know,
I'm dying to know.

Grabbing what I need,
and rip it til it bleeds.
I'm dying to know,
I'm dying to know.

[Chorus]
This is it, I've shaken.
My body's aching,
I lose my hold,
I will let go.
This is it, I'm falling.
My wings need to grow.
I lose my hold,
I will let go.

(Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum,
Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum)

If I,
If I take this, this leap,
will I be broken?
I'm dying to...

[Chorus]
This is it, I've shaken.
My body's aching,
I lose my hold,
I will let go.
I lose my hold,
this is it I'm falling.
I lose my hold,
my wings need to grow,
I lose my hold,
I will let go
I will let go.

I will let go!

No One Cares

All riled up
I can taste the winter
I would shut up if
I thought that it mattered
That what it feels like
When your stitched into this skin
I feel stuck
And no one thinks something's missing
Something's missing...

[Chorus]
No one cares
No one listens
Screaming words
That you fake hearing
No one cares
No one listens anymore...

My eyes burn
As I bury how I'm feeling
Close my eyes
It's my life that I've been stealing
If it's all right why do I feel
A sense of longing?
I had it all!
And yet I thought that something's missing
Something's missing...

[Chorus 2x]
No one cares
No one listens
Screaming words
That you fake hearing
No one cares
No one listens anymore...

So paranoid
I've been hiding from the sun
I'm tired of being afraid of everything
And everyone...
I'm so tired!

[Chorus x3]
No one cares
No one listens
Screaming words
That you fake hearing
No one cares
No one listens anymore...

Can't Happen Here

Chariots clashed in the dead of night
Subversiveness clouds the clearest of minds
Blink of an eye we're collaterized
Raised up in arms never knowing why

[Chorus]
We give what we take when we take nothing
Pull the helmet from your eyes
We're erased and betrayed by mistakes

Does your God know my God?
This is how the world will end

And it begs the question
When bullets cloud the sky
Taking away the pain of
Thinking for ourselves
Demons beat down
They break down our doors
And it begs the question
"Could This Scene Be Real?"
Stealing away our children
Taking away our dreams!

[Chorus]
We give what we get when we take nothing
Pull the helmet from your eyes
We're erased and betrayed by mistakes

Does your God know my God?
This is how the world will end

Slow Burn

It begins with a dark glowing ember
something black burning its way out of me
Searing the flesh
pain is the only thing I feel
scars all I see

Oh no the fires burning my insides again
what can I do to silence my desire tonight?
Face consumer reason leaving only ashes left
you will catch me regretting my decision
I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear
I can't just close my eyes

[Chorus]
I know that it's killing me
and it's poisoning the best of me
what I see, I don't want to believe
So let me tell you more, tell you more
about the lies I lead

That is how I chose to douse the flames in gasoline
Broken teeth replace the blackout memories in my head
Wreckage from the past haunts me, shakes me to the bone
(to the bone)
I know it's over but I can't go home tonight

And after this I feel as empty as the night before
feel the pain and yet I'm still begging for more
Masochistic, nihilistic, urging backward thought
My life's a mess and I can't find a way to fix it

I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear
I can't just close my eyes
(my eyes, my eyes, my fucking eyes)

[Chorus]
I know that it's killing me
and it's poisoning the best of me
what I see, I don't want to believe
So let me tell you more, tell you more
about the lies I lead

Calling, calling out
The darkest reaches of my soul
are riddled with self-doubt
Crawling, crawling out
my will to fight will more than suffice
when others would lay down

It's only as dark as you make it

[Chorus]
I know that it's killing me
and it's poisoning the best of me
what I see, I don't want to believe
So let me tell you more, tell you more
about the lies I lead

Blow

[Chorus]
So fuckin' blow those words out the back of your head
I've heard it all and I'm done with that shit
You tell me lies and you get what you get
So blow those fuckin' words out the back of your head
(Whoa)

Oh my god did you just hear?
Lies are coming back in style
Oh my god this seems so real
(They can find you)
Shut your mouth we've heard it all
Hypocrites and critics all
Can fuck off but do this for our
Souls (all our souls)

What they say
Won't make us go away

[Chorus]
So fuckin' blow those words out the back of your head
I've heard it all and I'm done witht that shit
You tell me lies and you get what you get
So blow those fuckin' words out the back of your head

We're not sorry and we won't conform
It's not a choice but something inborn
If we fail following our hearts
Can you blame us? (no no no)
A square peg in our black hole
We don't fit in, that's the way it goes
You shouldn't act like you're better that us
'Cause you're not (NO NO NO)

What they say
Won't make us go away

[Chorus x2]
So fuckin' blow those words out the back of your head
I've heard it all and i'm done with that shit
You tell me lies and you get what you get
So blow those fuckin' words out the back of your head

Tell yourself, you're not alone at all (looking out your window, know you're all alone) [x2]

[guitar solo]

What they say
Won't make us go away
(GO AWAY GO AWAY GO AWAY)

So fuckin' blow those words out the back of your head
I've heard it all and i'm done with that shit
You tell me lies and you get what you get
So blow those fuckin' words out the back of your head
So fuckin' blow those words out the back of your head
I've heard it all and i'm done with that shit
You tell me lies and you get what you get
So blow those fuckin' words out the back of your head
Blow those fuckin words out the back of your head

OF YOUR HEAD [x3]

Lead Sail (And A Paper Anchor)

Marching along
Like a good soldier does
I’m setting sail
With anchors
Holding me down
Pack up my bags
Stow them away
I’m bidding farwell
To all that is safe

Will I come up for air?
Come up for air

[Chorus]
After a while the current is calling me
Lulling me waving goodbye
I’m out here alone, oh god can you save me now?
Sinking my heart turns to stone

Withering away
A shrinking violet dies
So full of life
These lights have dried me out
Into the sea
Needed a drink
I never thought
This would consume me whole

Will I come up for air?
Come up for air

[Chorus]

Save me. Take me home
(over and over again)
Save me. Take me home
(wishing that this all would end) [x2]

[Chorus x2]

Save me. Take me home
(will I come up for air?) [x2]

Save me. Take me home
(over and over again)
Save me. Take me home
(wishing that this all would end)
