Tell Me
Called the race. Tell me it's over now.
I cannot stand to look in the face of my leaders now.
I'm burning up tonight.
Walk up the stairs, they tell me it's cold outside,
and I could use some air.
Called the race. Tell me its over now, and it's just not fair.
Why is this happening? Oh why?
Tell me what do you know about moving forward?
Tell me something to say,
because I'm screaming, screaming.
Give me something to make before I burn these bridges.
How much more can I hate without burning up?
I'm not giving up till I breakdown.
Turn off the news, and try to get some rest.
Wrap myself in heat. I'm burning up.
Why does it take so long to get myself to sleep?
Why is this happening? Oh why?
Tell me what do you know about moving forward?
Tell me something to say,
because I'm screaming, screaming.
Give me something to make before I burn these bridges.
How much more can I hate without burning up?
Not giving up till I breakdown.
Not giving up till I breakdown.
Not giving up till I breakdown.
Why is this happening? Oh why?
Tell me what do you know about moving forward?
Tell me something to say,
because I'm screaming, screaming.
Give me something to make before I burn these bridges.
How much more can I hate without burning up?
Not giving up till I breakdown.
Not giving up till I breakdown.
Not giving up till I breakdown.
Not giving up till I breakdown.
Not giving up till I breakdown.
Not giving up till I breakdown.
Not giving up till I breakdown.
Not giving up till I breakdown.
Brace Yourself
Feels like my head is waking up,
releasing from the bonds that locked me out.
I didn't realize that compromise would leave me in a rut.
It doesn't matter who's to blame
when all of the victims lose their names,
and all of our past mistakes
are tattooed on the lives we claim.
Every time we face rejection enters in the same equation.
Add it up to find the sum of some unwanted wealth.
Brace yourself. I'm breaking out.
Too many years have come
and passed me by to keep the window shut.
So Brace yourself. I'm breaking out.
All of the days that couldn't keep me down
are crumbling to the ground.
Maybe its already too late to tell if its luck or if its fate
guiding the vehicle that couldn't keep
our bodies heading straight.
Where are the answers that we need?
Why has it been so hard to see
that we had to lose ourselves
to find our whole lives waiting there?
Add it up to find the sum of some unwanted wealth.
Brace yourself. I'm breaking out.
Too many years have come
and passed me by to keep the window shut.
So Brace yourself. I'm breaking out.
All of the days that couldn't keep me down
are crumbling to the ground.
So now we're writing the prologue to our story...
Filling sections left from when we second
guessed the chances that could get us here.
Take a fall and lose it all so we can see the atmosphere...
So Brace yourself. I'm breaking out.
All of the days that couldn't keep me down
are crumbling to the ground.
Go f**k yourself. I'm breaking out.
Too many years have come and passed me by
to keep the window shut.
Waiting Through The Afternoon
Contagious, like
the rhythm of a record
through my mind
Played slowly to emphasize
the condition of a dead line.
So hopeless so let the record
play on and on and on...
Can I speak?
Can I speak now?
Without a voice to call my own I'm left
walk these streets alone,
Waiting through the afternoon again.
Time can't get the best of me.
Surely I will never be
Waiting through the afternoon again.
Don't rush it,
Cause I'm not living my one life without danger.
(The stakes it takes making what we make giving up to
the page) and then I'm Left waiting,
Let the record play on and on and on...
Can I speak?
Can I speak now?
Without a voice to call my own
I'm left walk these streets alone,
Waiting through the afternoon again.
Time can't get the best of me. Surely I will never be
Waiting through the afternoon again.
Apologies
On and on we carry on.
We turn off and turn on
the same old song,
and I can't get you to sing along,
so sit down and shut up or leave me.
Press rewind, turn back time...
that won't change a thing.
What could i say? What could I do?
Send your apologies to me.
I couldn't give anything more.
Send your apologies to me.
Today we say a little more.
I forgot what we were fighting for,
and tomorrow you are out the door.
No reply, its goodbye...and its easy.
We could re-play every scene...
it just won't change a thing.
What could i say? What could I do?
Send your apologies to me.
I couldn't give anything more.
Send your apologies to me.
On and on we carry on and never seem to get alone.
What could i say? What could I do?
Send your apologies to me.
I couldn't give anything more.
Send your apologies to me.
Take A Photograph
On the phone
Its handle's hot from messages you left
Askin' us
To question all the moments that we spent
Breakin' bones
And teaching every melody to cry
Maybe it's too late to run
Keep it all
You're losing out
So take a photograph to capture every scene
What this is
And what could've been
Never seem to justify the means until the end
We need to vent
To keep ourselves from loosing our face
Heaven sent
To burn the absent-minded from this place
Suck a stone
And fill the ground with desperate alibis
Scared to fall and fade away
Keep it all
You're losing out
So take a photograph to capture every scene
What this is
And what could've been
Never seem to justify the means until the end
Leave a message
I'm not here to answer
If you need to reach me
Then just take a number
(2x)
Keep it all
You're losing out
So take a photograph to capture every scene
What this is
And what could've been
Never seem to justify the means until the end
(2x)
Keep it all (leave a message)
You're losing out (I'm not here to answer)
So take a photograph (if you need to reach me)
To capture every scene (then just take a number)
What this is (leave a message)
And what could've been (I'm not here to answer)
Never seem to justify (if you need to reach me)
The means until the end (then just take a number)
Lucy
I've had more than my share of
Girlfriends, and don't ever care to
Keep them for more than a year, but
Tonight while safely asleep I've
Fallen into this dream
Where Lucy and I are together forever
A love far too good to be true
And when I wake up
I wanna be happy
So don't forget me
When I wake up
I wanna be happy
So don't forget me
We socialize often times in our own corner
Of the party's audience chatting with each other's
Exes and friends we made love with
Circling the crowd
Speaking very loud
So we can find each other, steal a kiss and cop a feel
In front of everyone
And at the end of the night we're stable and able
To keep things from falling apart
And when I wake up
I wanna be happy
So don't forget me
When I wake up
I wanna be happy
So don't forget me
I feel my heart tickin' away like a clock
Feel my heart tickin' away like a clock
Feel my heart tickin' away like a clock
My heartbeat's tickin' away like a clock
Feel my heart tickin' away to an alarming end
To an alarming end
And when I wake up
I wanna be happy
So don't forget me
When I wake up
I wanna be happy
So don't forget me
Soliloquy
I want to be a spiritual person.
I want to have a code of ethics.
I want to have morals to live by,
Fire to light the accord of my life.
Take a break from the endless
Monotony of the loveless
Today is gone and I'm moving on.
I'm moving on.
Time to leave it all behind start another life.
Take a risk and follow blind searching for the light.
Hide a whisper from the crowd and find my own way out.
I want to be a legendary lover.
I want to have the tools to please her.
I'll lay her down yeah I'll lay her down.
Find my own education, learn the key to her seduction.
Today is gone and I'm moving on.
I'm moving on.
Time to leave it all behind start another life.
Take a risk and follow blind searching for the light.
Hide a whisper from the crowd and find my own way out.
War Song
The heat here makes me want to leave,
Take a shot to ease the burn.
Ash the parchment memories,
20 seconds till I turn.
We've come this far,
Not backing down.
Can't stop it now.
We'll fight ourselves another war.
And I'm not leaving
With out admitting all our sins.
One last thought before I die,
Define our need to fight.
Beyond the curtain masquerade,
There's lead left buried with the names.
If we knew we weren't coming back,
Would all the answers be the same?
We've come this far,
Not backing down.
Can't stop it now.
We'll fight ourselves another war.
And I'm not leaving
With out admitting all our sins.
One last thought before I die,
Define our need to fight.
We've come this far
Not backing down.
Can't stop it now, can't stop it now.
We've come this far,
Not backing down.
We've come this far,
Not backing down.
And I'm not leaving
With out admitting all our sins.
One last thought before I die,
Define our need to fight.
Blame Me
What does it take to satisfy your
need for someone to blame?
Your need for a whipping boy.
Now you're asking to take that
from me well here's your answer...
Blame me (you can do your best to)
Shame me (anything you can to)
Hate me (tell yourself again)
Go save yourself with someone else.
Ever since we started you were
looking for someone to carry you
Ever since you were hurt you've been
looking for someone you could hurt too
Now you're trying to find that in me?
Well I'm not your savior.
Blame me (you can do your best to)
Shame me (anything you can to)
Hate me (tell yourself again)
Go save yourself with someone else.
I'm not too proud to end this with a broken smile,
Tear down these walls and throw it away.
Blame me (you can do your best to)
Shame me (anything you can to)
Hate me (tell yourself again)
Go save yourself with someone else.
Ansering Our Prayers
Picture a fire, built by desire
Hoping the world is not alone.
And it burns all night but its never in sight,
Just like a ghost among the trees.
And we're living our lives.
Falling through time.
We try to find reason for all the rhyme.
Did they tell you believe?
Did you ask what that means?
Did they tell you to keep your eyes to the sky?
Well we're hurting down here.
And we're living inn fear.
So help me to see the reasons why.
Is anybody there answering our prayers?
Or did we do this to ourselves?
Would anybody dare to question the air,
Searching for answers in the clouds.
We need something to touch.
Is that asking too much?
Something that we can understand.
Are we chasing a ghost?
An unearthly shadow,
Simply a product of our own hands.
Is anybody there answering our prayers?
Or did we do this to ourselves?
Would anybody dare to question the air,
Searching for answers in the clouds.
We're hurting down here,
And we're living in fear.
So help me see the reasons why.
Til You Feel Something
If I'm away from you long enough
to make you cry at least you feel something.
If I'm (taking) away (the love) from you
(I'll leave you) long enough to make (a change.)
You cry (too much.) At least (I made) you feel something.
I'm 20,000 miles away and you still feel nothing.
I'll give all the time it takes to make you feel something.
If I'm away from you long enough
to make you cry at least you feel something.
If I'm (taking) away (the love) from you
(I'll leave you) long enough to make (a change.)
You cry (too much.) At least (I made) you feel something.
I'm 20,000 miles away and you still feel nothing.
I'll give all the time it takes to make you feel something.
If I'm (taking) away (the love) from you
(I'll leave) til you feel something.
