In this life I'm me,
Just sitting here alone
By the way I tryed to say I'd be there
For you
Walk the silent emptiness
That leads me by my hand
And throw away
What I don't understand, as a man
Love-Hate-Sex-Pain
It's complicating me sometimes
This love-Hate-Sex-Pain
Is underestimating life
And I wonder as I tear away my skin
It's taken me so long to stitch
These wounds from were I've been
And mother please don't bury me
I'm beging for my life
It's hard to say that I will be complete
Before I die
Love-Hate-Sex-Pain
It's complicating me sometimes
This love-Hate-Sex-Pain
Is underestimating life
Don't you worry please
And don't you leave me
Because I slowly slip away
Though love, hate, sex, and pain
I fall away into
Love, hate sex, and pain
Love-Hate-Sex-Pain
It's complicating me sometimes
This love-Hate-Sex-Pain
Is underestimating life
Love-Hate-Sex-Pain
It's complicating me sometimes
This love-Hate-Sex-Pain
Is underestimating life

Sully Erna & John Kosco (Both):

Find a way, a way to be
You're looking down again, just let it be
And I'd only do for you, what you'd do for me
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me

(Wastin' time, like it was free)
(Will you ever find, where you'll be)
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me, yeah
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me, yeah
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me

Oh oh oh Don't look back just to lean on me
Oh oh oh It's taken the life out of me
It's not like you'd know, you've never been close enough, Closer than you've been to me
It's not what you say, (It's just in the way) You push me away

And I'd only do for you, what you'd do for me, yeah
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me, yeah
And I'd only do for you, what you'd do for me
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me

Strut on by like a king
Telling everybody they know nothing
And long live what you thought you were
And time ain't on your side anymore (anymore)
And so you tell me I
Can't take my chances
But I told you one too many times
And you were crying like a bitch
I'm tougher than nails
I can promise you that
Step out of line
And you get bitch-slapped back
And you can run
Your little mouth all day
But the hand of god
Just smacked you back into yesterday
And so you tell me I
Can't take my chances
But I told you one too many times
And you were crying like a bitch
And you wonder why
No one can stand you
And there's no denying
You were crying like a bitch
You were crying like a bitch
Lying dead by
Your sacred faded past times
Only time is your enemy
Granted a second chance
To prove that your arrogance
Is stronger than you'll ever be
Is stronger than you can be
Oh stronger than you can be
Oh stronger than you can (be)
And so you tell me I
Can't take my chances
But I told you one too many times
And you were crying like a bitch
And you wonder why
No one can stand you
And there's no denying
You were crying like a bitch
You were crying like a bitch
You were crying like a bitch
You were crying like a bitch
Oh Bitch

One step back from a beat down maniac
I'm tired of taking a back seat from all the other demons
That are stealing all the good shit
Leaving me with nothing but my hands

Another stroke down my back, tasting all the flames
That are licking around my neck and making me insane
As they pull me down, pull me down into my grave
I can't get away

Ooh, it doesn't mean nothing
Until you're deep inside dancing to the devil's swing
Whoa, it doesn't mean a god damn thing
Dancing to the devil's swing

Spit down inside, begging for another ride
Trying to find a way to keep it all
And satisfy the needs I'm craving
And I'm not taking it lightly, oh no

I'm living inside, a dead lie
Controlled by the devil's eyes and I don't mind it
Draw my ace up and roll my snake eyes nightly
Hold on, baby

Ooh, it doesn't mean nothing
Until you're deep inside dancing to the devil's swing
Whoa, it doesn't mean a god damn thing
Until you're deep inside dancing to the devil's swing

Whoa, dancing, dancing to the devil's swing

Play with my insanity
Live inside my darkened
My darkened dreams, darkened dreams
Hail to the devil's swing

Ooh, it doesn't mean nothing
Until you're deep inside dancing to the devil's swing
Whoa, it doesn't mean a god damn thing
Until you're deep inside dancing to the devil's swing
Whoa, it doesn't mean a god damn thing, a god damn thing
Dancing to the devil's swing

When will it ever end and when will my life begin...

No sweat, no regrets run down my back
A fine line just right before I crack
oh man to see me and then wave your finger up in my face
Believing in what you say and promising another day

Will it ever end, when will my life begin
All this built up pain forever plaguing me
Its the last time, its my lifeline
Its the last time that I'll be forever shamed

No breath and disrespecting all my time
Dividing and speaking out of line
Tell me the reason oh everybody needs to feel your pain
So draw the line back to me
and save me from insanity

Will it ever end, when will my life begin
All this built up pain forever plaguing me
Its the last time, its my lifeline
Its the last time that I'll be forever shamed

When will it ever end, when will my life begin
All this built up pain forever plaguing me
Its the last time, its my lifeline
Its the last time that I'll be forever shamed

Ha, ha!

Will it ever end, when will my life begin
All this built up pain forever plaguing me
Its the last time, its my lifeline
Its the last time that I'll be forever shamed

When will it ever end, when will my life begin
All this built up pain forever plaguing me
Its the last time, its my lifeline
Its the last time that I'll be forever shamed

Forever shamed! Forever!

Who really know what rights all the wrongs anyway
Who really cares what people do or say
And no matter where this life takes me
Ill never let it compromise
To much luck to bet it on do or die

Cuz I've seen everything that I could see
And now I can say goodbye today
With all I know
Its time I said goodbye
Today is a good day to die

Lived by the rules you that you gave me and fell apart
All the wrong turns down a dead end street so far
I stretched my wings and breath in different day
Alone and broken is the price I pay
But that's ok

I've seen everything that I could see
And now I can say goodbye today
With all I know
Its time I said goodbye
Today is a good day to die

Never thought life??
Taking all I can take
It's time to say goodbye
It's a good day to die

Cuz I've seen everything that I could see
And now I can say goodbye today
With all I know
Its time I said goodbye
Today is a good day to die

Cuz I've seen everything that all I know
Its time I say goodbye today
With all I know
Its time I said goodbye
Today is a good day to die

Grown from a seed of hope I've never known
Been raised by the surroundings of a home so cold, so cold
If I only knew what I know

I'll shake my fist up to the sky
Just keeping my dreams alive
I'm one part saint and two part sinner,
And the last part is still on the line

We pray even when we know nobody cares, ah ya
And make everything we know turn into fear
And then disappear
If I only knew what I know

I'll shake my fist up to the sky
Just keeping my dreams alive
I'm one part saint and two part sinner,
And the last part is still on the line

I'll shake my fist up to the sky
Just keeping my dreams alive
Im one part saint and two part sinner,
And the last part is still on the line

Eye for an eye they told me for some time
No way to hide from what's inside, what's inside of me!

I'll shake my fist up to the sky
Just keeping my dreams alive
I'm one part saint and two part sinner,
And the last part is still on the line

I'll shake my fist up to the sky
Just keeping my dreams alive
Im one part saint and two part sinner,
And the last part is still on the line

Anywhere I go, anything I try
Anyone I love is compromised

Everyone I see, staring on back at me
Why can't you let me be

Ohhh, so far from home being shallow and alone
and why can't you see its tearing away what I used to be
I'm a shadow of a soul

I don't know how to run, I don't know where to hide.
The old me is dead and gone inside

What will you think of me, when all that you'll ever see
is only a part of the other me.

Ohhh, so far from home being shallow and alone
and why can't you see its tearing away what I used to be
I'm a shadow of a soul

Ohhh, I'm so far from home being shallow and alone
and why can't you see its tearing away what I used to be
I'm a shadow of a soul

You can tear away the layers on the outside
but what lies underneath you'll never find
To many people take it up on my faith
To many faces pressing up against my face

Ohhh, so far from home being shallow and alone
and why can't you see its tearing away what I used to be
I'm a shadow of a soul

Ohhh, I'm so far from home being shallow and alone
and why can't you see its tearing away what I used to be
I'm a shadow of a soul

Ohhh, so far from home I'm a shadow (I'm a shadow)of a soul

Ohhh, I'm so far from home I'm a shadow (I'm a shadow) of a soul

Ohhh, so far from home I'm a shadow (I'm a shadow) of a soul

Ohhh, I'm so far from home I'm a shadow (I'm a shadow) of a soul

Here we go!

Dance with the devil inside of me
I'm longing for a second chance
And taste what seems to remind me
Of all my skulls and skeletons

Live and let live
Die and let die
War and peace in my head - my temptations
This war and peace inside will take me to the end

Hell awaits
It's closing in on me
It strokes its hand down on my back
And no more mistakes
My intentions are finally clear from how I've always been

Live and let live
Die and let die
Live and let live
Die and let die
War and peace in my head - my temptations
This war and peace inside won't end
War and peace in my head, yah
This war and peace inside my head will take me to the end

War and peace in my head - my temptations
This war and peace inside won't end
War and peace in my head, yah
This war and peace inside my head will take me to the end

Been disconnected for so long
And left my mark here along the way
So many years have come and gone
So many fears have remained the same
I see a faith
I swim and play
Yet drowning all possibilities
Beyond what I believe and know
I cut the cord free of home again
It turns to silence
A silence sometimes I can hear
Internal violence
A struggle deep within what if
What if I leave, could I still breathe
What if I breathe, could I still be
And if I leave, would I be me
I lost my hope along the way
I lost my hope along the way
It turns to silence
A silence sometimes I can hear
Internal violence
A struggle deep within what if
What if I leave, could I still breathe
What if I breathe, could I still be
And if I leave, would I be me
What if
What if
What if
It turns to silence
A silence sometimes I can hear
Internal violence
A demon deep within what if
What if I leave, could I still breathe
What if I breathe, could I still be
And if I leave, would I be me
What if
What if
What iF

Grown from a seed of hope I've never known
Been raised by the surroundings of a home so cold, so cold
If I only knew what I know

I'll shake my fist up to the sky
Just keeping my dreams alive
I'm one part saint and two part sinner,
And the last part is still on the line

We pray even when we know nobody cares, ah ya
And make everything we know turn into fear

Wait another minute.
Can't you see what this pain has fucking done to me?
I'm alive and still kickin'.
What you see I can't see...
and maybe you'll think before you speak.
I'm alive for you.
I'm awake because of you.
I'm alive I told you.
I'm awake swallowing you.
Take another second.
Turn your back on me...
and make believe that you're always happy.
It's safe to say you're never alive.
A big part of you has died.
And by the way...
I hope you're satisfied.
Tearing it back unveiling me.
Taking a step back so I can breathe.
Hear the silence about to break.
Fear resistance when I'm awake.

get back

Can you feel me
I'm not like you anymore
I can't see
I can't breathe
See you quiver like the dogs
on the streets
Looking down on as I beat you
It's bad religion
from a broken nation
It's contradiction
And I can't take it anymore ya

who's to say
I won't like you anyway
Take a deep breath
I'm alive
Can you hear me
I'm alive inside of you
agony creeps up behind you
It's a bad religion
from a broken nation
It's a contradiction
And I can't take it
any fucking way
It's a bad religion
bad religion
from a broken nation
It's a contradiction

Can't you feel it
I gotta live with it everyday
I can't take the pressure
I'm going insane
Now go away

go away

In the days of my youth
I was told what it was to be a man,
Now Ive reached the age
Ive tried to do all those things the best I can.
No matter how I try,
I find my way to do the same old jam.

Good times, bad times,
You know I had my share;
When my woman left home
With a brown eyed man,
Well, I still don't seem to care.

Sixteen: I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be,
Only took a couple of days
She swore that she would be all mine
And love me till the end,
When I whispered in her ear
I lost another friend.

Good times, bad times,
You know I had my share;
When my woman left home
With a brown eyed man,
Well, I still don't seem to care.

I know what it means to be alone,
I sure do wish I was at home.
I don't care what the neighbors say,
I'm gonna love you each and every day.
You can feel the beat within my heart.
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part.

Two faced!
I feel you crawling under my skin.
Sickened by your face.
By the way...
To think that your so fucking kind?
...You ain't!
Hard to find how I feel...
Especially when your smothering me.
Hard to find how I feel...
Please someone help me!

I knew when an angel whispered into my ear...
"You gotta get him away."
Hey little bitch!
Be glad you finally walked away...
Or you may have not lived another day.
Hard to find how I feel...
Especially when your smothering me.
Hard to find how I feel...
Please someone help me.
Hard to find how I feel...
Controlling me every step of the way.
Hard to find how I feel...
You greedy little baby!!

Hard to find how I feel...
Especially when your smothering me.
Hard to find how I feel...
Please someone help me.
Hard to find how I feel...
Controlling me every step of the way.
Hard to find how I feel...
You greedy little baby!!

I've told you this once
before can't control me
If you try to take me down your gonna break
I feel your every nothing
that your doing for me
I'm thinking you oughta make your own way
I stand alone inside
I stand alone
You're always hiding
behind your so-called goddess
So what, you don't think
that we can see your face?
Ressurrected back before the final falling
I'll never rest until I can make my own way
I'm not afraid of fading
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is faded
I stand alone inside
I Stand alone
Now it's my time (now it's my time)
It's my time to dream (It's my time to dream)
Dream of the skies (dream at the skies)
Make me believe that this place
isn't plagued by the poison in me
Help me decide if my fire will burn out
before you can breathe
breathe in to me
I stand alone inside
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone everything that I believe is faded
I stand alone inside

SICKNESS SPILLING THRU YOUR EYES, CRAVING EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT WAS ALIVE. STAB ME IN THE HEART AGAIN. DRAG ME THRU YOUR WASTED LIFE, ARE YOU FOREVER DEAD?

chorus: "DO LIKE I TOLD YOU, STAY AWAY FROM ME NEVER MISUNDERSTAND ME, KEEP AWAY FROM ME!"

TWISTIN' EVERYTHING AROUND THAT YOU SAY. SMACK ME IN THE MOUTH 200 X'S EVERY OTHER DAY. RAG ME, I DON'T HEAR YOU ANYMORE, NOT YET. FIND OUT WHAT IT MEANS TO ME. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

(chorus)

DRAGGIN' ON SO LONELY, AREN'T YOU TIRED BABY. BREATHING LIFE INTO YOUR LUNGS, ARE YOU IMMUNE TO ME?

(chorus)

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign

Fell in a river of illusion
And apathy
Drowning in a self-induced confusion
I'd rather be

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign
Yeah!

Cant find the answers
Ive been crawling on my knees
Looking for anything
To keep me from drowning
Promises have been turned to lies
Cant even be honest inside
Now Im running backward
Watching my life wave me goodbye

Running blind
Im running blind
Somebody help me see Im running blind

Searching for nothing
Wondering if Ill change
Im trying everything
But everything still stays the same
I thought if I showed you I could fly
Wouldnt need anyone by my side
Now Im running backward
With broken wings I know Ill die

Running blind
Im running blind
Somebody help me see Im running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind

I cant find the answers
Ive been crawling on my knees
Looking for anything
To keep me from drowning
Im running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind

As I sit here and slowly close my eyes
I take another deep breath
And feel the wind pass through my body
I'm the one in your soul
Reflecting the light
Protect the ones who hold you
Cradling your inner child

I need serenity
In a place where I can hide
I need serenity
Nothing changes, days go by

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

Tragic visions slowly stole my life
Tore away everything
Cheating me out of my time
I'm the one who loves you
No matter wrong or right
And every day I hold you
I hold you with my inner child

I need serenity
In a place where I can hide
I need serenity
Nothing changes, days go by

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

I need serenity [x2]

So tired sleeping through the day
Bloodshot eyes and sweat from my body
And I picked my head up yesterday
Found the reason of hope left inside of me
But I still believe in immortal love
And I know there's someone above
Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
And I know you know how, yeah
Shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
It's taken forever to get me off the ground
Haunted silence overwhelming me
Deny takes it's toll on my sanity
And I know I've been away too long
All these years I've been hiding
I'm feeling I'm coming strong
But I still believe in immortal love
And I know there's someone that's up above
Show me a path to find my way
And give me a reason pray
Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
And I know you know how, yeah
Shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
It's taken forever to get me off the ground

Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
And I know you know how, yeah
And shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
It's taken forever to get me off the ground
Shine down
Shine down
Oh, shine down
Oh baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
Shine down
Oh, shine down
Oh, shine down
Oh baby shine down

Free, you better love me
And hide or run away
From all your yesterdays
Speak the truth,
or make your peace among the way,
oh yea, yea
I never knew,
but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!

And way beyond your controlling mind (mind)
And no more believing in all your precious lies
Speak the truth,
or make your peace among the way, oh yea, yea
I never knew,
but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!
Speak the truth,
or make your peace among the way,
oh yea, yea, yea
I never knew,
but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!

Speak the truth,
or make your peace among the way, oh yea, yea
I never knew,
but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!
Speak the truth,
or make your peace among the way,
oh yea, yea, yea
I never knew,
but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!
Speak

There's no reason
there's no compromise
Changin' seasons
livin' the high life
I don't know you
so don't freak on me
I can't control you
you're not my destiny
Straight out of line
I can't find a reason
Why I should justify
my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason
You don't need to
lie to me~

I'll confess this
you're my tragedy
I paid you
to rest just
As fast as
you turned on me
Gone forever
vanished the memories
This phase
of pleasure
Are masked by
your misery
Straight out of line
I can't find a reason
Why I should justify
my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason
You don't need to
lie to me lie to me~

Straight out of line
I can't find a reason
Why I should justify
my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason
You don't need to
you don't need to
Lie to me lie to me
lie to me lie to me~

Hey! Oh, Mr. backstabbing son of a bitch
You're living in a world that will soon be dying
And I know,
everybody knows you try to be like me
But even at your best,
as a man you couldn't even be a half of me
I am realizing,
that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that is here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy,
oh the enemy!

You! You're another shittalking punk to me
You're living inspiration for what I never wanna be
And I see,
you've been blinded by what you believe
And now back up and sit and I'll show the act you need to be
I am realizing,
that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that is here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy,
oh the enemy!
Come to me, come to me, the enemy,
come to me, come to me

So predicting, you're the reason why
I lie
Safehold decision took too much time
To fly Oh, check me, check me...

I am realizing, that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that is here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh the enemy!
Come to me

Sully Erna & John Kosco (Both):

Find a way, a way to be
You're looking down again, just let it be
And I'd only do for you, what you'd do for me
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me

(Wastin' time, like it was free)
(Will you ever find, where you'll be)
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me, yeah
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me, yeah
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me

Oh oh oh Don't look back just to lean on me
Oh oh oh It's taken the life out of me
It's not like you'd know, you've never been close enough, Closer than you've been to me
It's not what you say, (It's just in the way) You push me away

And I'd only do for you, what you'd do for me, yeah
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me, yeah
And I'd only do for you, what you'd do for me
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me

chorus: I'M NOT THE ONE WHO'S SO FAR AWAY, WHEN I FEEL THE SNAKE-BITE ENTER MY VEINS, NEVER DID I WANT TO BE HERE AGAIN AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHY I CAME.

CANDLES RAISE MY DESIRE WHY I'M SO FAR AWAY NO MORE MEANING TO MY LIFE NO MORE REASON TO STAY

FREEZING FEELING, BREATHE IN - BREATHE IN I'M COMING BACK AGAIN.

(chorus)

HAZING CLOUDS RAIN ON MY HEAD EMPTY THOUGHTS FILL MY EARS FIND MY SHADE BY THE MOON LIGHT WHY MY THOUGHTS AREN'T SO CLEAR

DEMONS DREAMING, BREATHE IN - BREATHE IN I'M COMING BACK AGAIN.

(chorus)

VOODOO, I'M NOT THE ONE WHO'S SO FAR AWAY

AND I WONDER, DAY TO DAY
I DON'T LIKE YOU, ANYWAY
I DON'T NEED YOUR, SHIT TODAY
YOU'RE PATHETIC, IN YOUR OWN WAY


I FEEL FOR YOU, BETTER FUCKING GO AWAY
I WILL BEHAVE, BETTER FUCKING GO AWAY


I'M DOING THE BEST I EVER DID
I'M DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN
I'M DOING THE BEST I EVER DID


I DON'T NEED TO, FANTASIZE
YOU ARE MY PET, ALL THE TIME
I DON'T MIND IF, YOU GO BLIND
YOU GET, WHAT YOU GET, UNTIL YOU'RE THROUGH WITH MY LIFE


I FEEL FOR YOU, BETTER FUCKING GO AWAY!
I WILL BEHAVE, YOU BETTER GO AWAY
I FEEL FOR YOU, BETTER FUCKING GO AWAY!
I WILL BEHAVE, YOU BETTER GO AWAY


I'M DOING THE BEST I EVER DID
I'M DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN [2x]
I'M DOING THE BEST I EVER DID
NOW, GO AWAY


I'M DOING THE BEST I EVER DID, GO AWAY!
I'M DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN, GO AWAY!
I'M DOING THE BEST I EVER DID, GO AWAY!
I'M DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN, GO AWAY!


I'M DOING THE BEST I EVER DID
I'M DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN [3x]
I'M DOING THE BEST I EVER DID
NOW, GO AWAY


YEAH! (yeah!) [3x]


I'M DOING THE BEST I EVER DID (go away)
I'M DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN

Way, way down inside there's a hollow soul
An emptiness shadows tomorrow
And I find it hard to breathe for me in your company
Seems I've been taken for granted
And you're breaking and bleeding me down to nothing
It's tearing me down
You're breaking me and bleeding me down to nothing
Yeah!
Maybe, this time baby it's meant to be
No more suffocating you or me, oh yeah
And I'd pay the price but you sentencing me to life
And I feel I put in my time
And you're breaking and bleeding me down to nothing
It's tearing me down
You're breaking me and bleeding me down to nothing
Again
You're breaking me
And bleeding me
Again
You're bleeding me, you're bleeding me
And you're breaking and bleeding me down to nothing
You're tearing me down
You're breaking me and bleeding me down to nothing
You're tearing me, tearing me down again
Tearing me down again
You're breaking me and bleeding me
Bleeding me again

One more step and I could fall away
If it happened would it matter
And I can't tell if I should go or stay.
Same old picture feels so hollow.
How can anybody know what's best for me
Another page I turn in shame.
And my decisions brought me to my knees,
I needed someone to blame.

I feel so hollow
I feel so hollow
Time to do what's best for me I believe I can change.


Once upon a time in broken dreams.
Reflections that I can't face.
So hold your breath and make a wish for me.
Take me to a better place.
Time always seems to be passing by
It never waits for me
If I could do it all one more time,
I wouldn't change a thing.

I feel so hollow, I feel so hollow
I feel so hollow, I feel so hollow

Time to do what's best for me I believe I can change.

Once again my friend
Storm clouds are rolling in
Broken inside myself
Can't seem to break this trend, Can't break it!
And I've seen it all
And I've walked it tall
Lived in this sin
Where do I begin?
Caught between my lies
My life for worthless lies
Shedding my skin to begin
A life that I don't know how to live in
I can't take it!
And I've seen it all
And I've walked it tall
Lived in this sin
Where do I begin?
I don't know now
Where to go now
I don't know if I'll ever get ahead....no
It's all broken
Not a word spoken
And I don't know how to go out...God help me now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I've seen it all
And I've walked it tall
Lived in this sin
Livin' in sin
Livin' in sin
Livin' in sin
Livin' in sin
Where do I begin?

Oh mama what have I gone and done?
With all these years that I've been gone
My life changed me way too fast
I don't know if I could last

Help me find my way
And mama save me
Help me find today
Mama please come
And save me, oh

Oh mama if you
Could've only seen
Everything I've done
And where I've been
If only one
Thing I would ask
Why did you let me
Grow up so goddamn fast?

Help me find my way
And mama save me
Help me find today
Mama please come
And save me, oh

There's nothing more
That you can do
It's gone beyond what
You can't help me through
An emptiness has covered me
Oh mama come and save me

Help me find my way
And mama save me
Help me find today
Mama please come
And save me, oh
Help me find my way
And mama save me
Help me find today
Mama please come
And save me, oh

There's nothing more
That you can do
It's gone beyond what
You can't help me through
An emptiness has covered me
Oh mama come and save me
Oh mama come and save
Oh save me... no!
Oh please mama save...

Walked a fine line slipped the edge, under me.
Rise above a suicide, taking it outta me.
Got a feeling, it's going far away, yeah.
Licking the wounds from yesterday.
Gonna fly, takin' my time, strip down to nothing.
Gonna try, but there's no rest for the wicked.
Been through the skin of a dragon a thousand times.
Yet every day I live for you, still I'm not alive.
Got a feeling, I'm gonna fall away.
Gimme a sign one reason that I should stay.
Gonna fly, takin' my time, strip down to nothing.
Gonna try, but there's no rest for the wicked.
Gonna fly, take my time, strip down to nothing.
Gonna try, but there's no rest for the wicked.
Are you ready to know just who I am?
Do you think you can make me a better man?
Crack me open, expose me to your ways?
But Ignorance and arrogance are my ways. Oh yea.
No rest for the wicked baby!
Gonna fly, take my time, strip down to nothing.
Gonna try, but there's no rest for the wicked.
Gonna fly, take my time, strip down to nothing.
Gonna try, but there's no rest for the wicked.

oh man, I'm tired and lonely
Again, why must it be
A man is drowning slowly
And he can't keep above, gone way too deep
Open skies are falling, tears are coming down
Like a drop of rain falls to the ocean and comes back around
One rainy day
Oh so many times I should have crawled
when I went running by
And since then I've been left feeling traumatized
Raped and drained of an innocence
A gift we've lost over time
And still I gaze through this one rainy day
Alone with no one by my side
Open skies are falling, tears are coming down
Like a drop of rain falls to the ocean and comes back around
I swear I've given, I've given you all I can
Never will you ever make me feel this way again no
On this one rainy day
Open skies are falling, tears are coming down
Like a drop of rain falls to the the ocean
and comes back around
One rainy day (x3)
It's been just one rainy day

So tired sleeping through the day
Bloodshot eyes and sweat from my body
And I picked my head up yesterday
Found the reason of hope left inside of me

But I still believe in immortal love
And I know there's someone above

Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
And I know you know how, yeah
Shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
It's taken forever to get me off the ground

Haunted silence overwhelming me
Deny takes it's toll on my sanity
And I know I've been away too long
All these years I've been hiding
I'm feeling I'm coming strong

But I still believe in immortal love
And I know there's someone that's up above
Show me a path to find my way
And give me a reason pray

Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
And I know you know how, yeah
Shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
It's taken forever to get me off the ground

Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
And I know you know how, yeah
And shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
It's taken forever to get me off the ground
Shine down
Shine down
Oh, shine down
Oh baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
Shine down
Oh, shine down
Oh, shine down
Oh baby shine down

Free, you better love me
And hide or run away
From all your yesterdays

Speak the truth, or make your peace among the way, oh yea, yea
I never knew, but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!

And way beyond your controlling mind (mind)
And no more believing in all your precious lies

Speak the truth, or make your peace among the way, oh yea, yea
I never knew, but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!
Speak the truth, or make your peace among the way, oh yea, yea, yea
I never knew, but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!

Speak the truth, or make your peace among the way, oh yea, yea
I never knew, but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!
Speak the truth, or make your peace among the way, oh yea, yea
I never knew, but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!
Speak
Speak
Speak
Speak
Speak!

Oh shit
It crawls down deep inside
Without a pulse or a will to die
Not known to sympathize
And now it takes what it takes
And let's the feeling suffocate
It's nothing new it'll get it's way
Another thing that I see is how it gets inside of me
And tears away my life
It's time to love, It's time to hate
It's coming face to face trying to desecrate
No time at all to break away
Temptation, still got a hold on me
It's awake even when you sleep
It breaths without a heartbeat
Making me incomplete
And now I know what I know
Expect the demon down below
To surface through my mortal soul
And now it looks to be smiling as it's killing me
Day to day, eye to eye
It's time to love, It's time to hate
It's coming face to face trying to desecrate
No time at all to break away
Temptation, still got a hold on me (x4).. ♥

Hey! Oh, Mr. backstabbing son of a bitch
You're living in a world that will soon be dying
And I know, everybody knows you try to be like me
But even at your best, as a man you couldn't even be a half of me

I am realizing, that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that is here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh the enemy!

You! You're another shittalking punk to me
You're living inspiration for what I never wanna be
And I see, you've been blinded by what you believe
And now back up and sit and I'll show the act you need to be

I am realizing, that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that is here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh the enemy!
Come to me, come to me, the enemy, come to me, come to me

So predicting, you're the reason why
I lie
Safehold decision took too much time
To fly
Oh, check me, check me...

I am realizing, that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that is here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh the enemy!
Come to me

I'm not the one who's so far away'

Open your eyes, a chill passes you by.
A premonition coming strong.
Rich with desire, a superstition in disguise.
Draws me into where I belong.

Have you ever wondered why in a dream you can touch a falling sky?
Or fly to the heavens that watch over you,
telling me it's all voodoo.
Voodoo too.

Instill the body, so warm with every breath.
Dance to a vision so seductive.
Rain down upon me, it cleanses me with every drip.
A scent you've promised for the nourishment that
I've been gifted.

Have you ever wondered why in a dream you can touch a falling sky?
Or fly to the heavens that watch over you,
telling me it's all voodoo.
Have you ever wondered why in a dream you can touch a falling sky?
Or fly to the heavens that watch over you,
telling me it's all voodoo.
Voodoo too.

Voodoo too, it's all voodoo too...

Have you ever wondered why in a dream you can touch a falling sky?
Or fly to the heavens that watch over you,
telling me it's all voodoo.
Have you ever wondered why in a dream you can touch a falling sky?
Or fly to the heavens that watch over you,
telling me it's all voodoo.
Voodoo too.

It's just voodoo too, it's all voodoo too,
it's just what you do.

Asleep


Wait another minute
Can't you see what this pain has fuckin' done to me
I'm alive and still kickin'
What you see I can't see and maybe
you'll think before you speak

I'm alive for you
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive I told you
I'm awake swallowing you

Take another second
Turn your back on me and make believe that you're always happy
It's safe to say you're never alive
A big part of you has died and by the way,I hope you're satisfied

I'm alive for you
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive I told you
I'm awake swallowing you

Tearing it back unveiling me
Taking a step back so I can breathe
Hear the silence about to break
Fear resistance when I'm awake

I'm alive for you
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive I told you
I'm awake swallowing you

Sickness spilling through your eyes
Craving everything that you thought was alive
Stab me in my heart again
Drag me through you wasted life
Are you forever dead?
Do like I told you, stay away from me
Never misunderstand me, keep away from me
Twistin' everything around that you say
Smack me in my mouth 200 times every other day
Rag me, I don't hear you anymore,
Not yet, find out what it means to me
I don't know who you are
Dragging on so lonely, aren't you tired baby
Breathing life into your lungs,
Are you immune to me

Decisions made from desperation, no way to go
Internal insctincts craving isolation for me to grow

My fears come alive in this place where I once died
demons dreaming, knowing I-I just needed to re-align

Fell in a river of illusion and apathy
Drowning in a self-induced confusion, I'd rather be

My fears come alive in this place where I once died
Demons dreaming, knowing I-I just needed to re-align

My fears come alive in this place where I once died
demons dreaming, knowing I-I just needed to re-align

(guitar solo)

My fears come alive in this place where I once died
demons dreaming, knowing I-I just needed to re-align
My fears come alive in this place where I once died
Demons dreaming, knowing I-I just needed to re-align

Can't find the answers
I've been crawling on my knees
Looking for anything
To keep me from drowning
Promises have been turned to lies
Can't even be honest inside
Now I'm running backward
Watching my life wave me goodbye
Running blind
I'm running blind
Somebody help me see I'm running blind
Searching for nothing
Wondering if I'll change
I'm trying everything
But everything still stays the same
I thought if I showed you I could fly
Wouldn't need anyone by my side
Now I'm running backward
With broken wings I know I'll die
Running blind
I'm running blind
Somebody help me see I'm running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
I can't find the answers
I've been crawling on my knees
Looking for anything
To keep me from drowning
I'm running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind

Spiral


Sometimes we only live for the here and now
Sometimes we're lonely
Sometimes we feel we need a place to be grounded
Or fly away again

I will fly away again
I will fly away again

Why are we feeling something's familiar around us?
Are we just dreaming?
Always we search for the answers but nothing is found
We'll fly away again

I will fly away again
I will fly away again

I feel rain pouring down
I wait to rot away
Live again
Here forever
The spiral never ends

Rot away
Live again
Here forever
The spiral never ends

I feel rain pouring down
I wait to rot away
Live again
Here forever
The spiral never ends

Rot away
Live again
Here forever
The spiral never ends

It never ends

I will fly away again
I will fly away again
I will fly away again
I will fly away again

Sully Erna & John Kosco (Both):

Find a way, a way to be
You're looking down again, just let it be
And I'd only do for you, what you'd do for me
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me

(Wastin' time, like it was free)
(Will you ever find, where you'll be)
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me, yeah
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me, yeah
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me

Oh oh oh Don't look back just to lean on me
Oh oh oh It's taken the life out of me
It's not like you'd know, you've never been close enough, Closer than you've been to me
It's not what you say, (It's just in the way) You push me away

And I'd only do for you, what you'd do for me, yeah
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me, yeah
And I'd only do for you, what you'd do for me
And I only would do for you, what you'd do for me

Voices


Listen to the rain falling day by day
Listen to the rain falling day by day by day
Hey

I hear you calling, voices are here again
I hear you whisper, taking control of me
Watch the dancing shadows run away
All alone once again, afraid

All these faces, changing their shapes on me
Isolated in my own world, will I ever be free?
Haunting figures around me, I want them to stay
There always there to protect me,
this is one thing you can't take away

Listen to the rain falling day by day
Listen to the rain falling day by day by day
Yeah!
..

I hear you calling, voices are here again
I hear you whisper in my own mind, will it ever change?
Voices
Voices
Voices
Voices

I hear you calling

All or nothing
It's sometimes life's between what's undecided
And all for nothing
It seems i'm wasting my time
Don't look down on me
Like I don't know anything that I've been doing
You talk down to me
It's time you take a better look inside

I'll never be the same
I'm moving back onto my ways
I'm looking for changes into my way

Bow down to me
Taken your pride and stuff it down inside
Vows are ruined
Losing my faith, losing time
Better off you than me
I just can't stand another day when you're in my way
A long time brewing
It's time you kiss your ass goodbye

I'll never be the same
I'm moving back onto my ways
I'm looking for changes into my way

I'll never be the same
I'm moving back onto my ways
I'm looking for changes into my way

I'll never be the same
I'm moving back onto my ways
I'm looking for changes
I'll never be the same
I'm moving back onto my ways
I'm looking for changes
I'm looking for changes
Into my way
Into my way
Into my

Too many things I've never spoken
I'm not feeling fine
I never told you what to do
I never made you a promise that you could hold me to
That'll be the day you see me crying

Everyday, I still say you're dead and broken
Everyday, I still say you're dead and broken
You're dead and broken

How many different faces can you show me?
How many times can you be right?
Another world of fantasy
Another reason for dramatizing everything
Taking it all in just one more time
I'm dying

Everyday, I still say you're dead and broken
Everyday, I still say you're dead and broken
You're dead and broken

Sorry to see that you're underestimated lately
I'd rather be dead and broken than living in your grace

Everyday, I still say you're dead and broken
Everyday, I still say you're dead and broken
You're dead and broken
You're dead and broken
You're dead and broken
You're dead and broken
You're dead and broken
You're dead and broken
You're dead and broken

Hate me with everything
I'm better off without your animosity
I'll even sleep better at night...at night
I won't believe in you
Reminded me of everything you put me through
Now everything feels alright...alright

I feel so betrayed...mistaken
I create another day
You'll be gone tomorrow
Lie to me..you're faceless

You've made me out to be
Responsible for your self-inflicted misery
And never felt like this before...before
Don't be surprised to see
That I have nothing left for you to bleed
When you come crawling back for more...for more

I feel so betrayed...mistaken
I create another day
You'll be gone tomorrow
Lie to me...you're faceless

I create another day
You'll be gone tomorrow
Lie to me...you're faceless

I create another day
You'll be gone tomorrow
Lie to me...you're faceless

I create another day
You'll be gone tomorrow
Lie to me...you're faceless

I am your spoken truth
I am the lies in you
I'm gonna make you shine in everything you do
I am your lighted way
And I'm your darkest day
I'm here to help you see you can rely on me

Just consider me your friend
I am until the end
Can I guarantee you life?
I don't think I can

This isn't the life for me
This isn't the way I want to be
And let me tell you
Death will come when I'm good and ready

I am your peace of mind
Confusing all your time
I'm running through your veins, I am your pain
I thought by now you'd know
I'll never let you go
It's time you recognize I am the devil's eyes

Just consider me your friend
I am until the end
Can I guarantee you life?
I don't think I can

This isn't the life for me
This isn't the way I want to be
And let me tell you
Death will come when I'm good and ready

This isn't the life for me
This isn't the way I want to be
And let me tell you
Death will come when I'm good and ready

Take me by my hand
And let me show you what I am
I'm taking control again
Now I know I can
Take you back to where it all began
'Cause I am

This isn't the life for me
This isn't the way I want to be
And let me tell you
Death will come when I'm good and ready

This isn't the life for me
This isn't the way I want to be
And let me tell you
Death will come when I'm good and ready

For everything you do
I'd like to swallow you
And every day I'm gonna blame you
Even if you justify
Every fuckin' bullshit lie
It only makes me want to break you

Pre-Chorus:
You pull me down
And you crucify my name
You make me insane
It's broken now
Don't ever look my way
Don't even think I'm playin'

Chorus:
'Cause I fuckin' hate you
You're such a liar
I love to hate you
You're all the same to me

When you repeatedly
Take advantage of me
The only thought I get of you sickens me
Everybody knows you're fake
You're everything I fuckin' hate
And I'm everything that you could never be

Pre-Chorus:
You pull me down
And you crucify my name
You make me insane
It's broken now
Don't ever look my way
Don't even think I'm playin'

Chorus:
'Cause I fuckin' hate you
You're such a liar
I love to hate you
You're all the same to me [x2]

Pre-Chorus:
You pull me down
And you crucify my name
You make me insane
It's broken now
Don't ever look my way
Don't even think I'm playin'

Chorus:
'Cause I fuckin' hate you
You're such a liar
I love to hate you
You're all the same to me [x2]

Fuck you [x7]

Now I've told you this once before
You can't control me
If you try to take me down you're gonna break
Now I feel your every nothing that you're doing for me
I'm picking you outa me
you run away
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
You're always hiding behind your so called goddess
So what you don't think that we can see your face
Resurrected back before the final fallen
now they've arrest utill I can make my own way
I'm not afraid of fading
I stand alone
You make your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
And now its my time ( now its my time )
It's my time to dream ( my time to dream )
Dream of the sky ( dream of the sky )
Make me believe that this place is been plagued
By the poison in me
Help me decide if my fire will burn out
Before you can breathe
Breathe into me
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
You make your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside

Throw away my dreams
This fight for my life isn't getting behind me
And I've been told to scream
Where no one can hear me, it doesn't mean nothing

So make me believe
Just take me away from this hell I've created
And I'm afraid
I'm breaking my own vows knowing I'll go down in flames

I know this can't be right
There's got to be something more that I can live for
And I can only hide
Inside of this sickness for so long again

So make me believe
Just take me away from this hell I've created
And I'm afraid
I'm breaking my own vows knowing I'll go down

Make me believe
Just take me away from temptation that's calling me
And I'm afraid
I'm breaking my own vows knowing I'll go down in flames

Running in circles
Confusion is calling my name
Hiding inside of this poisoning madness again
I'm tired, I'm broken
I'm walking along with the dead
Will I ever feel like I once did?

So make me...

Make me believe
Just take me away from this hell I've created
And I'm afraid
I'm breaking my own vows knowing I'll go down

Make me believe
Make me believe
Make me believe
I'm breaking my own vows, knowing I'll go down in flames

Decisions made from desperation, no way to go
Internal insctincts craving isolation for me to grow

My fears come alive in this place where I once died
demons dreaming, knowing I-I just needed to re-align

Fell in a river of illusion and apathy
Drowning in a self-induced confusion, I'd rather be

My fears come alive in this place where I once died
Demons dreaming, knowing I-I just needed to re-align

My fears come alive in this place where I once died
demons dreaming, knowing I-I just needed to re-align

(guitar solo)

My fears come alive in this place where I once died
demons dreaming, knowing I-I just needed to re-align
My fears come alive in this place where I once died
Demons dreaming, knowing I-I just needed to re-align

What do you see in the dark
when the demons come for you

If only you could have seen
how fucked up my life used to be
then everything starts to change
supposedly healing my pain
I never thought I'd feel this way
I never thought that I'd see a day
I'd run away from anything or anywhere or anyone
Its all these demons haunting me
Its all these little things trapped inside of me
Releasing me from all my sin
Its taken me all my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons again

And now I look through my minds eye
And see where my past needs to rest
Its always disturbed by these voices
That echo inside of my head
Another way that I can hide
Another reason to crawl inside and get away
from everything and everywhere and everyone
NO!
Its all these demons haunting me
Its all these little things trapped inside of me
Releasing me from all my sin

Its taken me all my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons......again

Facin the days as I grow into my own
Loving and hatings the same
And three-fold I told you
it comes back with laughter
Over and over again
Its coming back

Its taken me all my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together

Releasing the demons again(5x)

As I sit here and slowly close my eyes
I take another deep breath and feel the wind pass through my body
I'm the one in your soul, reflecting inner light
Protect the ones who hold you, cradeling your inner child

I need serenity in a place where I can hide
I need serenity, nothing changes days go by

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we re-light the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

Tragic visions slowly stole my life
Tore away everything, cheating me out of my time
I'm the one who loves you no matter wrong or right
And everyday I hold you
I hold you with my inner child

I need serenity in a place where I can hide
I need serenity, nothing changes days go by
Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we re-light the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we re-light the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

I need serenity (Where do we go when we just don't know)
I need serenity (And how do we re-light the flame when it's cold)
I need serenity (Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing)
I need serenity (And when will we learn to control)

There's no reason
There's no compromise
Changing seasons
Living the high life
I don't know you
So don't freak on me
I can't control you
You're not my destiny

Straight out of line
I can't find a reason
Why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason
You don't need to lie to me

I'll confess this
You're my tragedy
I paid you to rest just
As fast as you turned on me
Gone forever
Banish the memories
Displays of pleasure
Are masked by your misery

Straight out of line
I can't find a reason
Why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason
You don't need to lie to me
Lie to me

Straight out of line
I can't find a reason
Why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason
You don't need to
You don't need to lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me

The Night Was Dark And Cold As Ice
I Met That Stranger From Far Beyond My Dreams
Staring Into Those Eyes I Was Blinded By A Light
Paralysed By The Power I Fell Down On My Knees

It Was Never Easy To See
But Now It's So Clear As Anything Can Be
I Felt Such Warmth In My Deserted Soul
Oh Holy Spirit, Come To Me

I Stood There Waiting For The Dawn
My Tears Were Flowing And My Sins Faded Away
The One Who Has The Power Is The One Who Breaks The Bonds
Let The Only Son Of God Cleanse Your Soul

I’ve told you this once before
You can’t control me
If you try to take me down

You’re gonna break
I feel your every nothing that you’re doing for me
I’m picking you outta me
You run away
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
You’re always hiding behind your so called Goddess
So what?

You don’t think that we can see your face?
Resurrected

Back before the final fallen
I’ll never rest until I can make my own way
I’m not afraid of fading
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside of me
I’m not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Now it's my time

Now it's my time
It’s my time to dream

My time to dream
Dream of the sky

Dream of the sky
Make me believe

That this place is invaded
By the poison in me
Help me decide if my fire will burn out
Before you can breathe
Breathe into me
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I’m not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside

Wait another minute. Can't you see what this pain has fucking done to me.
I'm alive and still kickin'. What you see I can't see and maybe
you'll think before you speak.

I'm alive for you. I'm awake because of you.
I'm alive I told you. I'm awake swallowing you

Take another second. Turn your back on me and make believe that
you're always happy.
It's safe to say you're never alive. A big part of you has died
and by the way, I hope you're satisfied.

[Chorus]

Tearing it back unveiling me.
Taking a step back so I can breathe.
Hear the silence about to break.
Fear resistance when I'm awake.

Does it feel so bad when you're taking a drag and when
you're looking at the world with dying eyes?
When you stare at it dead and you're giving it head and all those
things you say you love never come alive.

If it feels so bad, Bad magick playing off of me.
Oh no, I don't wanna be your friend.
Bad magick laying into me.
Oh no, I don't wanna hear it again.

When you get so high that you're wanting to dye but everything
around you is turning green.
When you're getting so low and I know you've been feeling like
a dried out leaf in a summer breeze. I don't like it!

Getting back, Back on track, Get off of my back

There's nothing to me now. An empty shell unfolded.
How, when we learn to pray inside our demons are laughing
How long will this go on? Are we a bit much stronger?
Do you think you can save me from living this way?

I don't know how to love. I just know how to live.
All I feel is hate. Will you forgive me?

For all those things I've done, they keep on creeping by me.
And though we've changed our ways,
still all our demons are laughing.
How long will this go on? Aren't we a bit much stronger?
I'd like to think you've came into my life to stay.

I don't know how to love. I just know how to live.
All I feel is hate. Will you forgive me?
I don't know how to breathe with you too far away.
Don't know how to love. Will you forgive me?
No I can't live this way!
I don't know how to love. I just know how to live.
All I feel is pain. Will you forgive me?
I don't know how to breathe with you too far away.
I don't know how to love.

Past lives I've lived. Uncontrolled but sacred.
You've finally seen all that's left of me.
So hard to see. So hard to breathe.
Will you forgive me?

I see the world it's going 'round.
Seems to me it's upside down.
Looking for something to say.
I feel a little different anyway.

Does it make much sense to you?
Doing all those things you do.
Making sure that I'm all right? Yeah, I'm fine!

I've been feeling I'm going down.

Two faced! I feel you crawling under my skin.
Sickened by your face.
By the way, to think that your so fucking kind?
You ain't!

Hard to find how I feel, especially when your smothering me.
Hard to find how I feel, please someone help me!

I knew when an angel whispered into my ear,
You gotta get him away.
Hey little bitch! Be glad you finally walked away or
you may have not lived another day.

Hard to find how I feel, especially when your smothering me.
Hard to find how I feel, please someone help me.
Hard to find how I feel, controlling me every step of the way.
Hard to find how I feel, you greedy little baby!!

No, I don't feel a thing.
Life's going by me.
But still I say
Oh God! I'm making the same mistakes.

Low?
I'm on empty.
Try to erase all the bad times.
Free?
I don't seem to be.
My soul remains tied to your life.

Every breath you breathe deep...
I feel you circulating through me.
I'll never forgive myself again.
I'm so sick and tired of making the same mistakes
Oh, Same Mistakes
Yeah, Oh
God Help Me, God Help Me, God Help Me

Paralyzed. Nothing's getting through to me.
Hypnotized from all my surroundings.
I wanna be something I could never be.
I wanna say things that I could never say.
Yeah, I'm gonna do it again!

Sick of my life. I'm tired of everything in my life.

Dragged down. Rubbing my face in the ground.
No time for the undecided.
I wanna know why I've always felt alone,
And I wanna love. Why am I untouchable?
Yeah, I'm gonna do it again!

Sick of my life. I'm tired of everything in my life.
I never wanted to be sick of my life.
I'm tired of everything in my life.

Sometimes we only live for the here and now.
Sometimes we're lonely.
Sometimes we feel we need a place to be grounded,
or fly away again

I will fly away again.

I feel rain pouring down. I wait to rot away,
live again, here forever, the spiral never ends.

Why are we feeling something's familiar around us?
Are we just dreaming?
Always we search for the answers but nothing is found.
We fly away again.

I will fly away again.

Living a different way. You can't expect me to be the same.
Separating our lives and wondering why.
Face down I walk away. Every time I think I do the right thing,
you turn your back on me.

Trippin' into a world that never seems too far away.
Too much time, too many wasted days.

How can you be this way? Now I'm alone and cold today.
I'm walking dead man's drive. Reaching out for my life.
I've been known to fuck up everything.
In this skin there's a broken man.

Trippin' into a world that never seems too far away.
Too much time, too many wasted days.
Just another vision in my world!

Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like
vampires... What
explains our enduring fascination with vampires? What is it
about the vampire myth that explains our interest? Is it the
overtones of
sexual lust,power,control... Or is it a
fascination with the immortality of the undead? And what dark &
hidden parts of our "psychie"are aroused & captivated- "By the
legends of the
undead"(x's 3) The mysteries of the undead will
continue to fascinate the living. The mysteries of the undead will
continue to; Will continue to fascinate
the living (legends)

Vampires
HaHaHa

Alright now!
Won't you listen?

When I first met you, didn't realize,
I can't forget you or your surprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me wanting you and your kind.
Oh yeah

Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf though you can't hear
Oh yeah!

And soon the world will love you sweet leaf

Try me out!
Alright! Oh yeah-ah!

Cravin' everything that you thought was alive.
Stab me in the heart again.
Drag me through your wasted life, are you forever dead?

I can't seem to break you down, but I know I'll come around.

* I feel your pins,
Through my eyes,
Piercing me

Lie down in all this piss, you drink it from me every day.

I can't get you out of my head,
It never goes away!

"In my life, I'll need you here.
Don't ask why I'll never disappear.
In your eyes, you can bid me farewell.

* Repeat

Sometimes I just feel like I need to get away.
A place where I can be by myself, all alone.
I kinda lay down in the back yard,
Watch the leaves fall down on my face.
It helps me become sane again.

Thoughts are pissed away, and for a minute I couldn't swallow.

I try to go away
to see if I still have my head
Can I remember what I did, Did it matter?

Thoughts are pissed away, and for a minute I couldn't swallow.
If you think that I'm the one who'll be here come tomorrow.

You took me in.
In time...
I'll be here.
Not waiting, not waiting for you anymore.
I love you... I love you anyway.
Is it so rare, that I've been sleeping with the dead?
