She turns like the ocean She tells no emotion She's been coming down the fine She's just reminicing Blood, sweat, and one thing's missing She's been breaking up inside, inside Singing without tongues Screaming without lungs I want more than my lonely nation I want more than my lonely nation Desperate we are young Separate we are one I want more than my desperation I want more than my lonely nation We are the target market We set the corporate target We are slaves of what we want We're just not amused And we're just used to bad news And we are slaves of what we want Singing without tongues Screaming without lungs I want more than my lonely nation I want more than my lonely nation Desperate we are young Separate we are one I want more than my desperation I want more than my lonely nation Lonely, lonely Don't leave me low I'm tired Don't leave me low I'm tired of feeling low Feeling low I'm tired of feeling low Feeling low I'm tired of feeling low Feeling low I'm tired of feeling low Feeling low Feeling low Feeling low Singing without tongues Screaming without lungs I want more than my desperation I want more than my lonely nation Desperate we are young Separate we are one I want more than my lonely nation I want more than my lonely nation I want more than my lonely nation
Maybe I′ve been the problem Maybe I′m the one to blame But even when I turn it off and blame myself The outcome feels the same I′ve been thinking maybe I′ve been partly cloudy Maybe I′m the chance of rain And maybe I′m overcast And maybe all my luck′s washed down the drain Chorus: I′ve been thinking ′bout everyone Everyone, you look so lonely But when I look at the stars When I look at the stars When I look at the stars I see someone else When I look at the stars, the stars I feel like myself Stars looking at a planet watching entropy and pain And maybe start to wonder how The chaos in our lives could pass as sane Ive been thinking of the meaning of resistance Of a world beyond my own And suddenly the infinite and penitent Began to look like home Chorus: I′ve been thinking ′bout everyone everyone, you look so empty But when I look at the stars When I look at the stars When I look at the stars I see someone else When I look at the stars, the stars I feel like myself YOW!Everyone everyone you feel so lonely Everyone, yeah, everyone you feel so empty When I look at the stars When I look at the stars When I look at the stars I feel like myself when I look at the stars, the stars I see someone... OW!
Everyone dies Everyone loves a fight Nothing is sound Nothing is right side right Evening comes, when the sun goes down in red Nothing is cool When will all the fighting end When will all the fighting end
Happy is a yuppie word Nothing in the world could fail me now It's empty as an argument I'm running down a life that won't cash out (cash out)
Everything fails Everything runs it's course A time and a place, for all of this loving war Everyone buys, everyone's gotta price, and nothing is new When will all the failures rise When will all the failures rise, rise!
Happy is a yuppie word Nothing in the world could fail me now It's empty as an argument I'm running down a life that won't cash out
Happy is a yuppie word Blessed is the man who's lost it all Happy is a yuppie word (word)
Looking for an orphanage I'm looking for a bridge I can't burn down I don't believe the emptiness I'm looking for the kingdom coming down Everything is meaningless I want more than simple cash can buy Happy is a yuppie word Happy is a yuppie word Happy is a yuppie word Happy is a yuppie,
Nothing is sound Nothing is sound Nothing is sound Nothing is sound Nothing is sound Nothing is sound Nothing is sound
Happy is a yuppie word Nothing in the world could fail me now Happy is a yuppie word (word)
Is this the New Year or just another night? Is this the new fear or just another fright? Is this the new tear or just another desperation? Is this the finger or just another fist? Is this the kingdom or just a hit n' miss? A misdirection, most in all this desperation Is this what they call freedom? Is this what you call pain? Is this what they call discontented fame? It'll be a day like this one When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in
I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass From broken arms an' broken noses in the back Is this the New Year or just another desperation? You're pushing till you're shoving You bend until you break Till you stand on the broken fields where our fathers lay It'll be a day like this one When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in
There's nothing here worth saving, Is no one here at all? Is there any net left that could break our fall? It'll be a day like this one When the sky falls down and the hungry and poor and deserted are found Are you discontented? Have you been pushing hard? Have you been through and down this broken house of cards? It'll be a day like this one When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in
Is there nothing left now? Nothing left to sing Are there any left to haven't kiss the enemy? Is this the New Year or just another desperation? Just as I could find you, do the wicked never lose? Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues? And nothing is okay Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in
(Hey, hey,) Yeah, Yeah (Yeah!) Yeah, Yeah (Yeah!) I've got a wound that doesn't heal, Burning out again, Burning out again I've not sure which of me is real, And I'm alone again, Burning out again My hope runs underneath it all, The day that I'll be home It won't be long, I belong, Somewhere past the setting sun Find me free, find me strong, Somewhere back where I belong Yeah, Yeah, (Yeah!) Yeah, Yeah, (Yeah!) Something shared with me again, But I'm not buying it, I'm not buying it My wound goes deeper than the skin, There's no hiding it, So I'm not trying it My hope runs underneath it all, The day that I'll be home, It won't be long, I belong, Somewhere past the setting sun, Find me free, find me strong, Somewhere back where I belong Yeah, Yeah, (Somewhere past the setting sun!) Yeah, Yeah, (Yeah!) Yeah, Yeah, (Going back where we belong!) Yeah, Yeah, (I'll find you,) (The setting sun!) Let the weak say I am strong, and it won't be long, Let the rat say I was wrong, and it won't be wrong, Let us find where we belong, Beyond the setting sun, Beyond the setting sun Yeah, Yeah, It won't be long, I belong, Somewhere past the setting sun, Find me free, find me strong, Somewhere back where I belong Yeah, Yeah (Yeah, Yeah!) Yeah, Yeah (Yeah, Yeah!)
Everything is broken Everything is broken Everything is breaking down, breaking down
Everything is bleeding Everything is bleeding Everything is breaking down, breaking down
A pledge allegiance to a country without borders, without politicians Watching for my sky to get torn apart We are broken, we are bitter We're the problem, we're the politicians Watching for our sky to get torn apart C'mon and break me
Entropy and Aching Where have we been aiming? Everything is fading out, fading out We are the faded, splitted, and sedated Everything is fading out, fading out
A pledge allegiance to a country without borders, without politicians Watching for my sky to get torn apart We are broken, we are bitter We're the problem, we're the politicians Watching for our sky to get torn apart C'mon and break me C'mon and break me
A pledge allegiance to a country without borders, without politicians, politicians, politicians..
I am broken, I am bitter I'm the problem, I'm the politician Watching for my sky to get torn apart C'mon and break me
She's alone tonight, With a bitter cup and, She's undone tonight, She's all used up,
She's been staring down the demons, Who've been screaming she's just another so and so, Another so and so
You are golden, You are golden, Child
You are golden, (Don't let go,) (Don't let go tonight)
There's a fear that burns, Like trash inside And you're ashamed of the curse, That burns your eyes
You've been hiding in your bedroom, Hoping this isn't how the story has to go It's not the way it goes, It's your book now, You're,
Golden, You are golden, Child
You are golden, (Don't let go,) (Don't let go tonight)
You're a lonely soul, Inlet of broken hearts You're far from home, It's a perfect place to start
(Yeah!) (Burn,) (Burn, Burn!)
So this final verse, Is a contradiction And the more we learn, The less we know
We've been talkin' about a feeling, We both know inside but couldn't find the words I couldn't write this verse, I've seldom been so sure, About anything before
Golden, You are Golden, Child
You are Golden, (Don't let go,) (Don't let go tonight)
This world is a dead man down (Golden, you are,) Every breath is a singing crown away, (Golden, Child, you are,) Like some debilitated king, (Golden, don't let go,) Don't let go tonight
Earth Spins and your mind goes round' (Golden, you are,) Green comes on the frozen ground, (Golden, Child, you are,) And everything will be made new again, (Golden,) Like freedom and spring, (Golden, Golden,) Hey, like freedom and spring, (Golden, you are, hey,) Like freedom and spring (Golden, Child, you are,)
I am the crisis I am the bitter end I'm gonna gun this town I am divided I am the razor edge there is no easy now son of sorrow staring down forever with an aching view disenchanted lets go down together with the fatal wound
this is the real thing no rubber bullets now this is the final bow my breath avoids me my chest is in my head my stomach's upside down down son of sorrow staring down forever with an aching view disenchanted lets go down together with the fatal wound with the fatal wound with the fatal wound
