All The Rage
Why do we need this
Who was it that said great things come to great men
Well that fucker lied to us
There's nothing here but a wasteland
And I can still see the graves of the dead
But it's useless
Most of us would rather sit
Than see this wound
That we have created
Let's not last the night
I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy (x2)
Senseless and I'm not sure why
I'm not going to pretend that I know all the answers
Or all of the questions
It's got to be good for something
So we'll chalk this and we'll mount the dead
On the fireplace above right above our guilded heads
I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy (x2)
Like sitting in the back seat (it's all the rage)
And boring me with your body (it's all the rage)
How many times can I say I'm sorry (it's all the rage)
And really mean it (really mean it...)
Why do we need this
Who was it that said great things come to great men
Well that fucker lied to us
There's nothing here but a wasteland
There's nothing here...
Streetcar
[27967277645]
[Hello!?]
And there's the rub
We can talk for a while
But I have sweet nothings to say
You don't want me anyway, you don't want me anyway
So why, why should I stay?
So goodbye to you and your life
Your new best friends, your confidence
And I'll be here when you get home
Sitting halfway, away from nowhere
Praying for our lips to touch
Holding myself for a second
Just to catch a smile on this line
So goodbye to you and your life
(Two months, eight weeks)
Your new best friends your confidence
(Turn my hours into days)
And I'll be here when you get home
(When you get home)
So goodbye to you and your life
(Two months, eight weeks)
Your new best friends your confidence
(Turn my hours into days)
And I'll be here when you get home, when you get home
"I can't feel the same about you anymore..."
Is it just like you said it would be,
I can't feel this way about you anymore
Is it just like you said it would be
(It's never easy)
I can't feel the same
I can't feel this way
I can't feel the same about you anymore
(It's never easy)
Roses For The Dead
Just to say we're sorry
For the black eyes and bleeding lips
When it's hard to forget
How many lies we've told
Or how old we'd go
Before I said goodbye
So let's scrape our knees on the playground
It's not your fault
You feel okay
It's too late in the day
It's not your fault
You feel betrayed
You can't come out to play
I never listened to a word you never said
I never listened to a word you never said
Wasting the hours now
We're all suckers for tragedies
And start this over again
And you bring us to our knees
As sunrise comes
And the story will sell
There'll be a hundred papers
So we'll follow you up
It's not your fault
You feel okay
It's too late in the day
It's not your fault
You feel betrayed
You can't come out to play
I never listened to a word you never said
I never listened to a word you never said
So raise your hands up high
And let this rain pour on
So raise your hands up high
And wash us away
Like innocence and childbirth
You look just like your mother
And you look just like your father
Forgive him our father
Your son is smiling
So lay roses around you
Hospitality
Forget the letters just sleep sound tonight
Pull back the covers without a fight
But as we dance by emergency light
I fail to swallow my tongue
And I'm still here bleeding
So pull this switch and see my body twitch
Oh, as we dance on this memory
A light left blinking on its own
And my blood is flowing
Down through this machine
In hope and desire in hope I expire
Turn off this machine
Cause this is the only thing that's keeping me alive
Turn off this machine
Cause this is the only thing that's keeping me alive
So pull this switch and see my body twitch
As we dance on this memory
Despair has devoured me whole
A seed wont grow from this soul
This pill won't cure my disease
Can't you kill this beating heart
Turn off this machine
Cause this is the only thing that's keeping me alive
Turn off this machine
Cause this is the only thing that's keeping me alive
Please nurse - My batteries are running low
Please nurse - Oh, I think I'm running low
Left here swallowed by this fear
That you will always keep me hear
To close your eyes and pray for this to go away
I'm not angry, tired or sore
More of a man than I was before
Is this the cause I'm looking for
Please forgive me
I'm no martyr
Is this the cause I'm looking for
'Cos I'm not angry, tired or sore
More of a man than I was before
Is this the cause I'm looking for
I plead forgive me
'Cos I'm no martyr
You're not the cause I'm looking for
Drive
I wish it was sweeter
The taste of your mouth
Because right now it hurts too much to be
Closer than this
And with one hard look
I can tell that you've had enough of these useless sunsets...
This could be a movie
This could be our final act
But we don't need these happy endings
This could be a movie
This could be our final act
But we don't need these happy endings...
So tell your father that,
That you're mine and I'll swear
We'll run away and I'll make a plan and save
Everyone from themselves
And put them in the ground
This could be a movie
This could be our final act
But we don't need these happy endings
This could be a movie
This could be our final act
But we don't need these happy endings...
Sitting in the car with the radio
Turned to static
Feeling quite tragic
And with one strategic blow
And you find yourself back in the hole
That you used to sit so comfortably in (x2)
This could be a movie
This could be our final act
But we don't need these happy endings
This could be a movie
This could be our final act
But we don't need these happy endings...
Monsters
Scattered seeds and breaking storms
Won't make a decent lie for you
Naked and with every breath you climb the stairs
Step by step and I don't need this
I don't need to be saved
Five steps away from this cliff top
And birds sing their praises
To this weary world that haunts my weary soul
There are monsters here
And as you scream it makes no sense,
It makes no sense,
It makes no sense at all (x2)
In every despair I'll find you standing there,
With the bitter taste of envy on your sleeve
Because tonight is our night,
And I don't want this
No, so wont you let me go
There are monsters here
And as you scream it makes no sense,
It makes no sense,
It makes no sense at all (x2)
And every animal will find itself a home
Every man and woman
Well, they'll just lose control
And we can make ourselves believe
That I don't want this that I don't need this
No, I have this to myself
There are monsters here
And as you scream it makes no sense,
It makes no sense,
It makes no sense at all
In every despair
I'll find you standing there
It makes no sense,
It makes no sense at all
...sense at all
...sense at all
History
Dear friends of this academy
Romeo is bleeding to death
To see a friend bleed to death, what for
Some kind of metaphor that I cant see?
So I'll drink until I see it
This sky will make me sick
So I'll give up on you
I'll give up on this
This sky will make me sick
So I'll give up on this
I'll give up on you
Archers in your arches
Raise your fingers for one last salute
And bleed this skyline dry
Your history is mine
So you want to hold me up and bring me down
Yes, you want to hold me up and break me down
I don't care for your sweet scent tour
Or the way you want me more than I want you
I don't care for your sweet scent tour
Or the way you want me more than I want you
Archers in your arches
Raise your fingers for one last salute
And bleed this skyline dry
Your history is mine
Archers in your arches
Raise your fingers for one last salute
And bleed this skyline dry
Your history is mine...
It's all mine...
Recovery
Scared to open up these eyes
To see just what's inside
This tree is dead and cold
This house is not a home
Help me now I'm dying here alone
This is not a new game
So don't think that you know
Casually I confide
Awake and paralysed
Forever in one word
Forever is the longest time
It's the only cure I'm not sure I'll survive
This is not a new game
So don't think that you know
Can you see these blood shot eyes
Can you see
That my strength is failing
And I can't go on this way
And this hearts not beating
It just doesn't seem the same
And my strength is failing
And I can't go on this way (cant go on this way)
Promise me
Promise me
Promise me you will not ever leave
Promise me (you will not ever leave)
Promise me (you will not ever leave)
Promise me (you will not ever leave)
That my strength is failing
And I can't go on this way
And this hearts not beating
It just doesn't seem the same
It just doesn't seem the same
It just doesn't seem the same
The End Of Nothing
Killing you
Might be the only chance I have
Of recovery
But I know it's so severe
As you know it would be
The punishment, it fits the crime.
So let's take this knife (Take this knife)
And run it down your chest
Does this feel like love? (Feel like love)
Here we are waiting
So let's take this knife
And run it down your chest
Does this feel like love?
Here we are waiting
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you'll have to wear this week
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you'll have to wear this week
Killing me
Might be the only chance you have
Of recovering
But I know it's so severe
As you know it would be
The punishment, it fits your crime.
You and I, will die alone tonight
You and I, will lie alone tonight
You and I, will die alone tonight
You and I, will die alone.
Alvarez
The stars will be your nightlights tonight
And I will be your lullaby
They dragged it up
And continued with the beatings
And how you bleed, oh
Yes you could bleed forever
It burns and leaves the rope tied tonight
It burns and leaves the rope tied
The stars will be your nightlights tonight
And I will be your lullaby
Another finger lost
What use do you have for those eyes in your head?
You took and killed
Everything about me
It burns and leaves the rope tied tonight
It burns and leaves the rope tied
The stars will be your nightlights tonight
And I will be your lullaby
The stars will be your nightlights tonight
And I will be your lullaby...
Good night
So disgusted with it
You took your sweet time
So let's get out of this town
So let's get out of this town
So disgusted with it
And you took your sweet time
So let's get out of this town
So let's get out of this town
And start this day all over and over again
Just like the good old days
You wipe the stains from off of your face
Just forget her and just forget her and
Just like the good old days
You wipe the stains from off of your face
And forget her and just forget her
The best liar I heard all day
You're too much of a good thing
Too much of a good thing
Sonny
You are bleak
You are beautiful
No matter what they say
In this light
Tired childish games
Swept us all away
Singing it out,
Singing it out for all of us
Singing it out,
Singing it out for all of us
This is strange
This is wonderful
It's grip chokes us all
It takes time
More than we have
So what have we done?
Singing it out,
Singing it out for all of us
Singing it out,
Singing it out for all of us
It takes time
Please tell me what we've done
It takes time
Please tell me what have we done
Singing it out,
Singing it out for all of us
Singing it out,
Singing it out for all of us
