Billy Talent

Yheeaa!!!

A devil in a midnight mass,
He preyed behind stained glass
A memory of Sunday class,
Resurrected from the past

Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Footsteps down the hallway floor,
Getting closer to my door
I was alive, but now I’m singing…

Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Violent Knight… at the edge of your knife,
“Forgive me Father”…don’t make it right
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… at the edge of your knife,
You’re guilty!

A devil in a midnight mass,
Killed the boy inside the man
The holy water in his hands,
Can never wash away his sins

Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Put my trust in God that day,
Not the man that taught his way
I was alive, but now I’m singing…

Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Violent Knight… at the edge of your knife,
“Forgive me Father”…don’t make it right
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… at the edge of your knife
You’re guilty!

Whisper, whisper… don’t make a sound,
Your bed is made, it’s in the ground

Whisper, whisper don't make a sound
Your bed is made, it's in the ground

Whisper, whisper don't make a sound!
Your bed is made it's in the ground!

Whisper, whisper don't make a sound!
Your bed is made it's in the ground!

Whisper, whisper don't make a sound!
Your bed is made it's in the ground!

Whisper, whisper don't make a sound!
Your bed is made and it's in the ground!

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground

I hitched a ride, until the coast
To leave behind, all of my ghosts
Searching for something, I couldn't find at home

Can't get no job, can you spare a dime?
Just one more hit, and I'll be fine
I swear to God, this'll be my one last time!

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground

Well it gets dark, in Pigeon Park
Voice in my head, will soon be fed
By the vultures, that circle round the dead!

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground

I never once thought, I'd ever be caught!
Staring at sidewalks, hiding my track marks!
I left my best friends, or did they just leave me?

Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
I'd always walk home alone
So I became lifeless
Just like my telephone

There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change

Never played truth or dare
I'd have to check my mirror
To see if I'm still here
My parents had no clue
That I ate all my lunches
Alone in the bathroom

There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change
There's nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There's nothing to gain
And I can't fight the pain

Teacher said it's just a phase
When I grow up my children
Will probably do the same
Kids just love to tease
Who knew it'd put me under ground
At seventeen

There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change
There's nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There's nothing to gain
And I can't fight the pain
There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
My notebook will explain
There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
And I just died today

Need more friends with wings

Put concrete in my veins

All we shared was a mattress, and a lie, and an address
Baby I don't need you, well baby I don't need you
Once occupied by a goddess, now it's a room full of boxes
She said, 'it's time to leave you', but baby I don't need you!
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world... I'd see no therapist
In a perfect world... this wouldn't make me sick

I never got the whole story, not 'til after she left me
Baby I don't need you, well baby I don't need you
Word on the street is she fucked him, while we were playing in Cleveland
Well baby I don't need you, you're fading in my rearview

In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world... I'd see no therapist
In a perfect world... this wouldn't make me sick
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!

I'd never bite off more then I could chew
But then she came and bit me
I'd never bite off more then I could chew
But then she bit my leg
She said:
"Don't wanna work
I wanna play
And live my life like it was Sunday
The only problem is that Sunday only comes now once a week
And I'm a freak but..."

We're breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should we stay
A prisoner of today

My body's tired, my soul's excited
And I wish that I was gifted
My body's tired, my soul's excited
And I wish I had some spunk
She said:
"I wanna run I wanna hide
And leave this place
Just like it left me
The only problem is I need to find the balls to follow through
And thats the truth but..."

Chorus:
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag wavin' never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
(x2)

Well I've never seen us act like this
Our only hope is the minds of kids
And they'll show us a thing or two

Our only weapons are the guns of youth
It's only time before they tighten the noose
And then the hunt will be on for you

The red flag wavin' never meant the same,
No
The red flag wavin' never meant the same

Chorus (x2)

Like the smallest bee packs a sting
Like a pawn checkmates a king
We'll attack at the crack of dawn

Build a ladder where there's a wall
Don't be afraid to slip and fall
Speak for yourself or they'll speak for you

The red flag wavin' never meant the same,
No
The red flag wavin' never meant the same

Chorus (x2)

Like a fire, don't need water
Like a jury, need a liar
Like a riot, don't need order
Like a madman, needs a martyr

We don't need them (x8)

Chorus x6 (We don't need them screams start with the 3rd repetition)

We don't need them

Rejected since day one
My name is, Bastard Son
I've been damned so many times I've lost count
Blue collar working man
Devices masterplan
Bi-polar with a mental sidearm

I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go

Into the river below
I'm running from the inferno
They'll think I'm insane
But you'll all know my name
Into the river below
I'm running from the inferno
I'll take all the blame
The front page and the fame

Contraption
Made up of
Nuts and bolts
Creates the
New monster
to burn your family tree down
Tick tocking
Times up now
Split second
The world frowns
Lonely hearts
Never had nobody

I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go

Into the river below
I'm running from the inferno

But you'll all know my name
Into the river below

I'm running from the inferno
They'll think I'm insane
But you'll all know my name
Into the river below
I'm running from the inferno
I'll take all the blame
The front page and the fame
Yeah I'll take all the blame
The front page and the fame
But you'll all know my name
And they'll think I'm insane
But you'll all know my name
But they'll think I'm insane

The front page and the fame

Contraption
Made up of
Nuts and bolts
Creates the
New monster
to burn your family tree down
Tick tocking
Times up now
Split second
The world frowns
Lonely hearts
Never had nobody

I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go

Into the river below
I'm running from the inferno
They'll think I'm insane
But you'll all know my name

Yeah I'll take all the blame
The front page and the fame
But you'll all know my name
And they'll think I'm insane
But you'll all know my name
But they'll think I'm insane

Rejected since day one
My name is, Bastard Son
I've been damned so many times I've lost count
Blue collar working man
Devices masterplan
Bi-polar with a mental sidearm

I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go

My head, it hurts, each day its getting worse
My looks, and smile, have now become my curse
Tight lips, red skirt, the never ending street
Big car, little man, my lover for a fee

So if you see me will you just drive on by
And will I catch that twinkle inside your eye
And if you want me, well I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you?

Standing in the rain
Milk carton, mug shot baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
20 years of dirty needles
Rain drops runnin' through my veins

My head it hurts, each day its getting worse
No sun, my room, has now become my hearse
Cold sores, i'm beat, got bruises on my feet
My pride, these men, have taken it from me

So if you see me will you just drive on by
And well I catch that twinkle inside your eye
And if you want me, well I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you?

She reads a book from across the street,
Waiting for someone that she'll never meet.
Talk over coffee for an hour or two, She
wonders why I'm always in a good mood.
Killin' time before she struts her stuff,
She needs supporting, I'll become the crutch.
She'll never know how much she means to me.
I play the game but I'm the referee.

Surrender every word, every thought every sound.
Surrender every touch, every smile, every frown.
Surrender all the pain we've endured until now.
Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found.
Surrender yourself to me.

Even though I know what I'm lookin' for,
She's got a brick wall behind her door.
I'd travel time and confess to her,
But I'm afraid she'd shoot the messenger.

Surrender every word, every thought every sound.
Surrender every touch, every smile, every frown.
Surrender all the pain we've endured until now.
Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found.

I think I found a flower in a field of weeds,

Searching until my hands bleed,
This flower don't belong to me.

Sincere only when they suit you

Well, I looked at her face and then I knew she changed,
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!

So I sat in my room for 27 days,
No she never called, I had something to say!
No she never called, I had something to say!

I don't know much and I don't know how...

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Well, I heard she's great and her new boyfriend's lame,
She can go to hell I'll never be the same!
She can go to hell I'll never be the same!

And these open wounds will heal with time they say,
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!

Everybody is tired and poor and sick of trying
If you see me on the corner
Will you stop or will you splash me
Take a look at what we've become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family on a postcard
Picture Perfect
I don't want it!

So I hold my breath 'til my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes

Shitty weather, bad timing
Lucky penny glued to the ground
Dirty look from total stranger
Hope you get lost and you're not found
Take a look at what we've become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family on a postcard
Picture perfect
I don't want it!

So I hold my breath 'til my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it

This is, how it, it goes
This is, how it, it goes
This is, how it, it goes
This is, how it, it goes

Unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into doubts
Unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into doubts

So I hold my breath 'til my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes

Well, I tripped, fell down naked
Well, I scratched my knees they bled
Sew up my eyes, need no more
In our game, there is no score!

Forgive me father why should ya bother
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake
Cry agony, cry agony

I'm insane, it's your fault, so sly
Your well of lies ran dry
I cut the cord, free fall
From so high we seem so small!

Forgive me father why should ya bother
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake
Cry agony, cry agony

I'm insane, it's your fault... cry!
I'm insane, it's your fault... cry!
I'm insane, it's your fault... cry!

Forgive me father, why should ya bother now?
Forgive me father, why should ya bother now?

Forgive me father why should ya bother
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake
Cry agony, cry agony

Well, I tripped, fell down naked
Well, I scratched my knees they bled
Sew up my eyes, need no more
In our game, there is no score!

Forgive me father why should ya bother
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake
Cry agony, cry agony

I'm insane, it's your fault, so sly
Your well of lies ran dry
I cut the cord, free fall
From so high we seem so small!

Forgive me father why should ya bother
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake
Cry agony, cry agony

I'm insane, it's your fault... cry!
I'm insane, it's your fault... cry!
I'm insane, it's your fault... cry!

Forgive me father, why should ya bother now?
Forgive me father, why should ya bother now?

Forgive me father why should ya bother
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
