Man Of Conviction
God bless here's a man of conviction
With evidence enough to convict him so he stands by the
Side of the victim has strength enough to forgive him
Hopefully nobody saw him hopefully nobody saw him
The means justified by the ending sinner and saint for defending
The bastard by him that is bleeding throws salt in the wounds of the needy the blood from the
Cut that is seething he gasps for the air we are breathing
Hopefully nobody saw him, hopefully nobody saw him
The means justified by the ending, sinner and saint for defending
Our hero is gone
God bless here's a man of conviction
With evidence enough to convict him so he stands by the
Side of the victim has strength enough to forgive him
The bastard by him that is bleeding, throws salt in the wounds of the needy the blood from
The cut that is seething, the gasps for the air we are breathing
Hopefully nobody saw him, hopefully nobody saw him
The means justified by the ending sinner and saint for defending
The One You Want
All poison and thrills
a handful of pills
waiting around nails cut to the quick
Broke what you fixed you're so underground
what you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
It's said and done
But it's too late to turn your age around she's no the one you want
One settles a score with a trip to the floor look what we've found
make sense of the scene
Keep a routine?
standing on sound
what you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
it's said and done
But it's too late to turn your age around she's not the one you want
yeah it's too late to turn your age around she's not the one you want
How do you do it?
With your back against the wall
how do you ruin all these promises?
Promises and nothing else done.
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
It's said and done.
But it's too late to turn your age around she's not the one you want
so tell me something That I didn't know.
Never Be Alone
Never love anyone else a promise you made to yourself there's a box with his ring on the
Shelf and it's tarnished the burden of liars and thieves is the baggage that you brought overseas
No matter if you beg and you plead this is over
Whoa that's just the way it would go
No matter how the dice didn't roll you'll never be alone.
A promise, a vow, a commitment the bottle won't help you forget this,
I'm swearing as God as my witness, this is sorry
Whoa that's just the way it would go, no matter how the dice didn't roll, you'll never be alone.
Wondering is it anything that he did?
What's the reason you're ruining this?
Never be alone, words on pages won't replace this
Wouldn't Believe It
Rows of houses on forever what the neighbors never know when the hammer fell the kettle
Whistle yells all good sinners go to hell serpent turns onto itself
Did it occur to you too?
What was the worst you could do?
You wouldn't believe it,
Wouldn't believe it I don't believe it too.
Never occurred to you too. Wouldn't believe it, wouldn't believe it, I don't believe it too.
Can you really keep a secret cross your heart and hope to die?
Maybe an evil one the mind
Is all but gone trespass fits you like a charm a scarlet letter on your arm
Did it occur to you too?
What was the worst you could do?
You wouldn't believe it,
Wouldn't believe it I don't believe it too.
Never occured to you too. Wouldn't believe it, wouldn't believe it, I dont' believe it too.
Arms open for the taking, I'm telling you the truth. Strange choices you've been making. They will be comin back to you.
Did it occur to you too?
What was the worst you could do?
You wouldn't believe it,
Wouldn't believe it I don't believe it too.
Never occured to you too. Wouldn't believe it, wouldn't believe it, I don't believe it too.
Answer me, will you be received?
Holy Roman
Road map is a bitter pill
scene stinks of a double deal
a good front like the devil will
your Eyes on the prize
come clean like you said you would
make peace like I know you could
heroes don't do any good
with tears in their eyes
Fight the good fight
maintain the trend
just look me in the eyes and say the world's not going to end
Take stock in the master plan
place bets on an empty hand
empire has a leg to stand
Holy Roman style
poison from a holy grail
blind faith doesn't make the sale
landmines on the
Righteous trail
march rank and file
unpatriotic
friend stabbing friend
you'll look me in the eyes and say the world's not going to end
Just make me a promise that the world's not going to end
Will you save us?
Martyr Me
Just to get by try to stay high it's a good life end of discussion hours like sand
Holes in my hand I'm a good soul,
Martyr me
Wasting my life it's passing me by it's a good fight throw in the towel
The hours I've spent aren't enough to pay rent I'm just sinking water deep
But if all I have is defeat
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Case of my crime a lack of my time it's a roadblock need a catharsis
Patience is spent a virtue I sent to the basement far from me
The less that I spend on the mess that I'm in could be used towards something of value
The time on my side isn't anything I've ever needed can't you see?
That all I have is defeat
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Every unsuspecting scene when we're supposed to make believe that we're not tearing at the seams,
We hang on, we hang on, we hang on
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
How Long Is Too Long
You keep hanging on for more
Building walls around the words around the world
I keep tripping over hints
I keep spilling every secret
Without spilling any secrets at all
Don't you know?
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
Did the issue go this far?
Did you set this higher standard for yourself?
I know it's not a fault
Though I really have to wonder
If you'd ever set the standard without help
Don't you know?
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
Made up
You win
I'm lost
Give in
To each
Their own
With all their sins
You keep hanging on for more
Building walls around the words around the world
Don't you know?
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
This small town takes every ounce to build its smoke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
Sick In Her Skin
Baby Deleilah
Sick in her skin
Out on the highway living for nothing but him
It's the same old song again
An absence she defends
On and on and on forever she says
You should still be here
Hooks in her heart so
Escape if you can
Clear out the room
I'll open the window
I'll fly in
Blood on the table
She made up her mind
All of the talks we had were for nothing
But I tried.
It's overwhelming them
His absence she defends
On and on and on forever she says
It's all over now
It's all over now
It's all over now
It's all over now.
On and on and on forever, she says.
In Your Sea
Every afternooon
A point I hammer home
You had no follow through,
follow through
Better off alone
Wading patiently
Stranded in your sea
Sing in time and tune
Where the action is
Don’t need the stars and moon,
stars and moon
Just wanted more than this
Wading patiently
Stranded in your sea
Cause I'm waiting for you
And all you can do
So little to prove
Time is the test of trust
gets the best of us
For hours, for hours
Every afternooon
A point I hammer home
I have no time for you,
time for you
You're better off alone
Wading patiently
Stranded in your sea
because I'm waiting for you
And all you can do
So little to prove
nobody knew, it must have been you
I didn’t approve
But someday I'll be free
And you’ll wait for me
For hours, for ours
Sympathy
Way to fight
You never threatened to stop breathing countless times
When I wouldn't make a sound to baby eyes
The whole thing is a fading senseless blur of concern
But I'm letting go of her
I don't know why it is
Isn't it obvious to me?
It's sympathy
I'm sure that after this
You don't fear anything at all resembling
All her might
Was it the force behind the family?
Bound and tied
Keep the bottle down to our surprise
Suspect you had discipline or nerve to convert
I just didnt think it'd work
For what we give to this
What challeneges persist
What battles we must fight
For what we give to this
A promise to resist
Stand with all your might
The Dark Night Of The Soul
Never thought anything lasts forever
Hanging on every word
Hold the cards in tight
But your killing me with sincerity
And I'd make any move tonight
Redemption is a bitch
Too end on
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
All my training beget a traitor
A monster with a mind of it's own
The beast is poised to strike
The bastard plays on these insecurities
Takes all my will to fight
Redemption is a bitch
Too end on
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
Oh well,You know what they say
Suddenly everything's
Suddenly everytihng's real
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
(oh well, You know what they say
Suddenly everything's
Suddenly everytihng's real)
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
(The bastard plays on these insecurities
Takes all my will fight)
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
(Oh well,You know what they say
Suddenly everything's
Suddenly everytihng's real)
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
Is There A Way Out
If ever im wrong, whatever i do
If anyone asks, i will be hiding from you
If ever i speak, put words in my mouth
Its only speech and sound
Is there a way out?
I've got this blood on my hands
And if theres some safe ground
Im all for it
If ever untrue, then how would you know?
What would you do, where would you go?
If ever i lied, what would it be
If i were to die because you discovered me
Is there a way out?
I've got this blood on my hands
And if theres some safe ground
Im all for it
Is there a way out?
I've got this blood on my hands
And if theres some safe ground
Im all for it..
Conversation
Of all of the space in this small world
There's room in my life for you, girl
Though we had a lot of words to say
Didn't think we'd need to have another damn conversation about it
Question the words for years now
I'm finding my sense and my know how
Though I'm learning that I was wrong
Didn't think we'd need to have another damn conversation about it [x3]
