Nightmare
Our Revolution
Under Fire
Anthem For Tonight
Hey Italy
Snow In Hollywood
Such A Terrible Trend
Better Than Sex
Giant In The Ring
Promise Me Tragedy
A Tint Of Rain
I Told You So
Murder I Wrote

Nightmare

It's second nature for you
But its the first to make you my last one
The last one in my life
The first to make you cry
So lets drink this bottle to the very last drop
Tell me what you find at the bottom
Don't say you forgot what I need
Cause all I need is you

Tonight, tonight I send out apologies
The type that's cut off right over the edge
And if I try to say your name I'll just bite my tongue
It's your nightmare make sure to handle it well
Turn up your evil turn down your care

I point this troubled ambulance
The passenger is nowhere to be found I escaped
What will they think of me?
What will they think of me?
When I lock my body in the trunk of your car
With all the pressure to the gas
Turn the Autopilot on
Let's see if we can fly tonight

If I'm the cure
She's the disease
Do what you will
Just know what this means
If I'm the cure
She's the disease
Do what you will
Just know what this means

Tonight, tonight I send out apologies
And if I try to say your name I'll just bite my tongue
It's your nightmare make sure to handle it well
Turn up your evil turn down your care
It's your nightmare make sure to handle it well
Turn up your evil turn down your care

Our Revolution

We are famous faces
We are legends of the underground
The west coast is dying, but we're still getting down
Hollywood's got stilettos
Walking egos in skirts
Setting sunset on fire
We only do this cause it hurts

So sit back, waste your life away
Well I want to hear you say...

Hell yeah
Get up, get up, get up, do you believe in
Hollywood restart our revolution
Hell yeah
Get up, get up, get up, and sing it
If rock n' roll is dead, the dead will come undone

They say I kiss to kill
I just do it for fun
The stage girls shake to make my heart come undone
Glamour girls and whiskey
And Snow White's already kissed me
The sirens sound, the boys are out, take over this city

So get up, dance the night away
Well I want to hear you say...

Hell yeah
Get up, get up, get up, do you believe in
Hollywood restart our revolution
Hell yeah
Get up, get up, get up, and sing it
If rock n' roll is dead, the dead will come undone

Hell yeah
Get up, get up, get up, do you believe in
Hell yeah
Get up, get up, get up, get up

Hell yeah
Get up, get up, get up, do you believe in
Hollywood restart our revolution
Hell yeah
Get up, get up, get up, and sing it
If rock n' roll is dead, the dead will come undone

Under Fire

Call me a doctor of defense, or maybe Im a fix
(baby Im a mess)
And I know since youll forget, call me baby call me crazy yea yea yea
Take these pills everyday to kill your apathy for living
Yea for livingyea yea

(This is!) This is the sound of your body under fire
(These are!) These are my eyes finding you in the door
We are the voices of an underground choir
Save your breath you wont be heard.

I found the villain in your bed, a blanket full of lies
(a hero you can sweat)
So is this what you call love, call me crazy listen baby yea yea yea
Stop sniffing auto-cocaine; Ill be your drug for the pain
For all the painyea yea

(This is!) This is the sound of your body under fire
(These are!) These are my eyes finding you in the door
We are the voices of an underground choir
Save your breath you wont be heard.

And when youre falling from the stories, theyll shed and bleed to
Nothing but the truth we wrote on the ceiling
Break out your bullets it wont be enough for
Stop a loaded jail witch from turning into
People on the side reaching for a loaded gun for you
They will scream your name before I do

(This is!) This is the sound of your body under fire
(These are!) These are my eyes finding you in the door
We are the voices of an underground choir
We are the voices of an underground choir
We are the voices of an underground choir

(This is!) This is the sound of your body under fire
(These are!) These are my eyes finding you in the door
We are the voices of an underground choir
Save your breath you wont be heard.

Anthem For Tonight

So here's a question,
I'll hypnotize you,
But will you follow me,
Follow all these footsteps I left behind,
My hands are shaking,
Don't criticize me for being in demand
I could pay for your tears,

It's in my job description,
To tell you how to feel,
This is my ammunition,
I'll fire at will

Make make me make you want to sing along,
WOAH OH OH, WOAH OH OH,
(you can have my heart)
Break break me until I write your favorite song
WOAH OH OH, WOAH OH OH,
This is your anthem for tonight,

You're contemplating
What you want from me,
But it's not up to you,
Listen to me what I have to say,
Up against the wall,
With my guard down,
But can you conquer me,
A fighter in the corner with no fight

It's in my job description,
To tell you how to feel,
This is my ammunition,
I'll fire at will

Make make me make you want to sing along,
WOAH OH OH, WOAH OH OH,
(you can have my heart)
Break break me until I write your favorite song
WOAH OH OH, WOAH OH OH,
This is your anthem for tonight,

So here comes a breakdown,
Oh you wish you could,
So here comes a breakdown,
Let's see who can get down
So here comes a breakdown,
Let's see who gets down

Just tell me one more time,
What do you want from me

Make make me make you want to sing along,
WOAH OH OH, WOAH OH OH,
(you can have my heart)
Break break me until I write your favorite song
WOAH OH OH, WOAH OH OH,
This is your anthem for tonight

Hey Italy

I see her body move in deadly positions
Her fingers graze my neck for the last time
Her lungs are spilling out
What's keeping me alive?
What's keeping her alive?
Let's see, let's cut off all her long blond hair

Listen sweetie
You never meant that much to me
Hope your eyes can see
What you did to me
You'll always be my enemy

I see the victims of the deadliest poison
My face has turned her skin chalk white
My lungs are spilling out
What's keeping her alive, but was she ever dead?
Let's see, there's footprints trailing out of the morgue

Listen sweetie
You never meant that much to me
Hope your eyes can see
What you did to me
You'll always be my enemy

I see her body move
I watch her body move
She's deadly poison
My only poison
I see her body move
I watch her body move
She's deadly poison
My only poison

Let's see, let's cut off all her long blond hair

Listen sweetie
You never meant that much to me
Hope your eyes can see
What you did to me
You'll always be my enemy
My enemy
My enemy
What you did to me
You'll always be my...

Listen sweetie (I see her body move)
You never meant that much to me (I watch her body move, she's deadly poison, my only poison)
Hope your eyes can see (I see her body move)
What you did to me (I watch her body move)
You'll always be my enemy (She's deadly poison, my only poison)

Snow In Hollywood

She drips down the walls while I unravel like a web
My body quivers in the silence as she chains me to the bed

Sit back, let the, chemicals find their way into my head tonight
She's my lover, and I'm a victim
I'm not an addict, and I hope I can shake it

She'll scream my name
She'll take everything
If I can play her game
I can stay

She drips down the walls while I unravel like a web
My body quivers in the silence as she chains me to the bed
She wants all of the glory
The latest story of my life, is that the devil's at my door tonight

Get down, let's dance, while I melt in your hands
Take back everything you said tonight
She's my angel, and I'm the wicked
I've got a feeling and I hope I can fake it

She'll scream my name
She'll take everything
If I can play her game
I can stay

It's not what I expected
I'm too young to disappear
If I don't turn around and try to fight this never-ending fear
I've lost this battle but I'm still in the war
And I'm trying, but the devil's at my door

Such A Terrible Trend

I said I'm sorry for the rain, and where it all fell down
So I'll kick in the engine, get myself out of town
To all my disbelievers - I'll teach you to believe
We get addicted to our medicine, we create our own disease

I found the cure, and it's inside of me
Won't you open your eyes to see?

Revenge is sweet, when you're so discretely falling out of reach, yeah
Revenge is bitter, when allies turn rivals in times like these
Make it harder and harder to breathe

Cut throat and dripping, but I'm skipping out on what I need most
I've got an appetite for love suppressed by fear
We've got our fingers on the trigger and the barrel at the mirror

I found the cure, and it's inside of me
Won't you open your eyes to see?

Revenge is sweet, when you're so discretely falling out of reach, yeah
Revenge is bitter, when allies turn rivals in times like these
Make it harder and harder to breathe

I can't help that I'm angry and I love when I'm in pain
Shaking off the water from the unrelentless rain
This atmosphere is nowhere near what it used to be
The white flakes on the ceiling can't help but fall upon me (help but fall upon me)

Break my bones, cause I'm beautiful when I'm not alone
Mend my bones, cause I'm ready, I'm ready to go home

Revenge is sweet, when you're so discretely falling out of reach, yeah
Revenge is bitter, when allies turn rivals in times like these
Make it harder and harder to breathe

Break my bones, cause I'm beautiful when I'm not alone
Mend my bones, cause I'm ready, I'm ready to go home

I said I'm sorry for the rain, and where it all fell down

Better Than Sex

In this bottle, I'm all dressed up for you
In red, my intentions aren't so good
It may take me one miracle
But if you have more I'm sure we could use them

So why do we (why do we), breathe sex like lovers but live like enemies?

Fix me, fix me a new cure for us
One that's stronger
One that will ease the pain
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be there right next to you

As I spread throughout your veins
The tension's getting stronger now with pain
You can have your miracle
But I won't give in to your throne
Royalty means nothing to me

Still why do we (why do we), breathe sex like lovers but live like enemies?

Fix me, fix me a new cure for us
One that's stronger
One that will ease the pain
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be there right next to you

Let's sleep tonight on a bed of nails
So that every other night doesn't seem so painful after all (after all)
Let's sleep tonight on a bed of nails
So that every other night doesn't seem so painful after all (after all) after all

Fix me, fix me a new cure for us
One that's stronger
One that will ease the pain
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be there right next to you

Giant In The Ring

Look past the empty bottles
See through your sympathy
I'd rather be taking sorries from the man who left me out on the street
You spit out your words with a terrible stutter
Leave feelings out of stories like a cheating disease
If I can't trust you, how can I trust the karma chasing me?

So don't sell me out
Cause I'm worth more than the finger that is bearing your class ring

Chase the drinks you can't control
Hide your hands behind your head
Hold them up high, make sure no one sees the strings attached to them
You run with the pack with the wrong intentions
Hold your breath when you've lost your way
Lie to me again and you've lost another place to stay

So don't sell me out
Cause I'm worth more than the finger that is bearing your class ring
If you want a battle, just know my record is high
I'm a giant in the ring and I will call you out like a lie

Give me a reason to believe all the things that you told me
That you told all the ones that were closer
So much closer to you than I've ever been
I can't risk it
My own sanity's losing it's last nerve
I can't wait till the winter is over
Till its over and I can just sit back, relax

So don't sell me out
Cause I'm worth more than the finger that is bearing your class ring
If you want a battle, just know my record is high
I'm a giant in the ring and I will call you out like a lie

Give me a reason to believe all the things that you told me
That you told all the ones that were closer
So much closer to you than I've ever been
If you want a battle, just know my record is high
I'm a giant in the ring and I will call you out like a lie

Promise Me Tragedy

I lie awake at night consumed by tragedy
I feel depression's cold hand reaching out for me
All I've ever wanted was your honesty
But now the words, become the blade that you have driven into me

I don't need your sympathy

I know you're alone tonight, with tears you cry
I hope you're satisfied, and yeah I'm doing fine
Now baby it could be fun, to fire your gun
I promise not to run
You can't kill me

I feel your venom as it's flowing to my brain
Weak in the knees but I am loving all the pain
Look into your eyes, I let the trigger rest the blame

I don't need your sympathy

I know you're alone tonight, with tears you cry
I hope you're satisfied, and yeah I'm doing fine
Now baby it could be fun, to fire your gun
I promise not to run
You can't kill me

You can drain my blood, but you, you can't kill me (kill me)
You can steal my heart (my heart), but you (but you), you can't kill me
Tonight I sleep, I dream of anything but you, you

You are alone tonight, with tears you cry
I hope you're satisfied, and yeah I'm doing fine
Now baby it could be fun, to fire your gun
I promise not to run
You can't kill me

A Tint Of Rain

If I could make it to my funeral, I'd scan the crowd for you
While all the speeches spill my life as suicide
I'd buy a ticket from the scalper just to show I hate the system
And you soon know I didn't really care at all

Now I'm alive

So you can watch me from the heavens as I rain down on your head
Tell me what you've always wanted and I'll give you love instead
And when I wake up from this dream, it's you that I'll regret
If I have to break a promise to you, I'll break my hand instead

You thought that I'd put down my pen but instead
I put down the pills that keep me from the edge of breaking down
in the back of this hotel room
I saw you standing in the corner of court
With a fist full of evidence that led to this
whole situation of me and my plea for insanity

I'll take you on
Now I'm alive
I'll take you on

If I could make it to my funeral,
I'd smile to the crowd and say to dry your tears cause I'm finally alive

I Told You So

I broke into your house last night
I crept in through your window
I was too quiet for you to hear me
As you finished up your dreams you rose to me beside your throne
The choice was yours to make, this was a night you won't forget

So look at me, tell me what you see

I know that the world is beautiful
And the distance will be killer on the nights that we're alone
So just know, if you fold
This hand will not be dealt until you see the damage done

I've got a pocket full of reason and a tank full of gas
I'm gonna drive you to a river where the current is fast
With my feet on the shore and my hands in the water
We shout these words back to each other
I'm got a mouth for disaster
And an eye for disease
I'm gonna sing all of the words
I'm gonna make you scream
I'm got a mouth for disaster
And an eye for disease
I'm gonna sing all of the words
I'm gonna make you scream
I'm got a mouth for disaster
And an eye for disease

I've got a pocket full of reasons and a tank full of gas
I'm gonna drive you to a river where the current is fast
With my feet on the shore and my hands in the water
I'll shout to your mom - say goodbye to your daughter
A smile in the sea and a light in the sky
With a big round circle looking me in the eye
Saying it's ok, it's ok,
It's ok, it's ok

Pocket full of reasons and a tank full of gas
I'm gonna drive you to a river where the current is fast
With my feet on the shore and my hands in the water
I'll shout to your mom - say goodbye to your daughter
A smile in the sea and a light in the sky
With a big round circle looking me in the eye
Saying it's ok, it's ok,
It's ok, it's ok

Murder I Wrote

Listen to me cause I'm not faking
This time it's real and I can't take it
Hold me gently cause I might fall apart
There were no bullets so stop searching
The cause is you and all your making
Stop pretending that you're innocent

Cause now I remember that...

I saw you with the murder weapon
You see me as an enemy
Choke on your tongue as you pray that this is all just a dream
And fall before me

I'm down but I can still comprehend
How this broken two step dance went
You shot me
I couldn't remember who told me what you were after
I'm seeing red now, the world is blurry
Tonight will be my last for turning
How does it feel to know

Cause now I remember that...

I saw you with the murder weapon
You see me as an enemy
Choke on your tongue as you pray that this is all just a dream
And fall before me

I'm on a search for the arsonist
Who set me ablaze and thought they'd escape
Put me out, put me out I'm begging
Make your move, you know I'm waiting
My strength comes from my memories

And now I remember that...

I saw you with the murder weapon
You see me as an enemy
Choke on your tongue as you pray that this is all just a dream
I saw you with the murder weapon
You see me as an enemy
Choke on your tongue as you pray that this is all just a dream
And fall before me
