It's all the same thing
Now that it ever was Except now you've strayed too far Need you to stop digging your hole And follow the path we light Don't need an invitation to be reconciled 'Cause these home fires are burning Stare into your empty eyes and wonder... How could something so right turn out so wrong? You spent your time making excuse For the ways of life that you are choosing How could something so right turn out so wrong? Not sure exactly where I am The more we organize We suck out this life that serves as the fuel behind You want to take the passion in my veins And put it down in black and white You've got your foot directly on the gas I watch you burn out so fast Now I can see just what you've become And how could something so right turn out so wrong? I don't have a backup plan This is all that I am And how could something so right turn out so wrong? Not sure exactly where I am (One) one thousand (good) intentions (Lost) translation (lost) forever (One) one thousand (good) intentions (Lost) translation (lost) forever Lost How could something so right turn out so wrong? I don't have a backup plan This is all that I am And how could something so right turn out so wrong? Not sure exactly Where I am Where I am ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By PRINCIPE/MCILRATH/BARNES/WLEKLINSKI <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |

Aside from the name that holds us together
Now, I think we'd fall apart It's the years we'll pretend we've forgotten That separate our hearts And I don't remember the way this was But the pictures prove I knew you once And where is the source of our mistakes? I'm afraid one day we'll drift so far We'll wake up not knowing where we are These words accomplish nothing if I'm gone... |

As I watch your life go up in flames,
You'll swear up and down you'd like to change But when the sun sinks slowly into the sky, Now you're right Where you started again with nothing to say, Without an argument or case And when it's said and done and done and said, And now what's another day? I can feel these changes right before my eyes I see a dying fire inside your eyes, inside your eyes When will you stop and realize, The worth and value of your life? As you suffocate yourself within this mindless, Nine to five wake up! there's more! And your life is nobody's but yours And now its said and done and done and said, And now what's another day? I can feel these changes right before my eyes I see a dying fire inside your eyes You're running circles around my slow pace You've reached the finish line only to realize there was no race I'm sick of being stepped on for the things I choose I give and take and now I've taken all I could And now I've taken all I could And now I've taken all I could And now I've taken all I could (now I've taken, now I've taken) And now I've taken all I could (now I've taken, now I've taken) And now I've taken all I could |

The pain, disorder
A cataclysmic dawn We trusted but something has gone wrong We bought it But woke to find it gone Impact in 5, 4, 3, 2 Brace, for fallout The radiation creeps On cats' feet We scatter in the streets She asks me "do you think it's safe to breathe?" It doesn't look that way to me We storm the gates Raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne Subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoah... (Storm the gates, Raise the flags) Woah.... (Seize the throne, Subjugate) Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough Afraid, we cower To interests not our own The power to free or to control We let it slip through Our fingers to the floor Watch as the bodies wash ashore Whoah... Nobody lives here anymore We storm the gates Raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne Subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoah... (Storm the gates, Raise the flags) Woah.... (Seize the throne, Subjugate) Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough And how long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall? And how long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? How long, how...? We storm the gates Raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne Subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoah... (Storm the gates, Raise the flags) Woah....

Now's the time
To rearrange your life Live for something Outside of your own mind We all dream The same dream every night To burn the world that you call civilized Alive and well I live to be alive I live to always strive For something more Alive and well I'll never understand The who, what, why or when Of you tonight... We face the stares of judgment And almost everyday The shaking heads Of disapproval say "Pray for you to give me something then find out that there was nothing left" Recite the words inside (your heart) Realize that this is nothing Without your voice I'm not giving up And I'll blame the worst on you I know what's wrong Alive and well I live to be alive I live to always strive For something more Alive and well Nothing ventured, nothing gained And I don't need to explain Myself to you |

Information kept to myself and everyone wants to know,
I trust the words of nobody else cause I've been there before, Your voice is wasted 'cause I'm not listening The calloused fingers are wrapped around a black ball-point pen, These eyes don't wander as far as they at one time did, I've seen the future, it's fading faster No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now I'm on the other end begging you, please pick up the phone, A shaking whisper is answering, don't call anymore your voice is wasted 'cause no one's listening Freeze me in that moment, thaw me in ten years, When the fires burned out and the smoke (clears) No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now Let's just pretend, let's just pretend, tonight will never end Let's just pretend, let's just pretend, tonight Will never end No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now |

We've been alright up to now,
But the air that we breath is about to run out. We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud, But the cue never came and the lights, They never went out. So we're passing the time, While time passes us. The fast lanes a term never applied to us. Without a dime to my name, Or a prayer in the world. I walk out the door. Destination anywhere but here. Away from you. Now I'm on my way to the other side, (On my way) I'll forget everything I left behind. (On my way) These empty rooms, (On my way) Are still filled with you. (On my way) So I dropped out of my own race, A race with no finish line, No first or last place. I watch these faces all run right past me. I turn and walk away, 'Cause we finally know now what our Time here's about, we were not meant to be Another face in the crowd. We're a forest of lives, We grow tall and wide. We won't ever be cut down. Now I'm on my way to the other side, (On my way) I'll forget everything I left behind. (On my way) These empty rooms, (On my way) Are still filled with you. (On my way) I'm so tired and turned around and scared. I'm lying in empty beds again. I'll wait for you to come To your senses, barbed-wire fences Won't keep me from breaking through. I swear I will for you. Now I'm on my way to the other side, (On my way) I'll forget everything I left behind. (On my way) These empty rooms, (On my way) Are still filled with you. (On my way) I'm so tired and turned around and scared. I'm lying in empty beds again. Away from you. |

Are there no fighters left here any more?
Are we the generation we've been waiting for? Or are we patiently burning Waiting to be saved? Our heroes our icons Have mellowed with age Following rules That they once disobeyed Are now being led When they used to lead the way Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? (That you stood by before) Are you up and on the front lines? Or at home keeping score? Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? (The bricks that seal your fate) Would you rather be the architect of what we might create? GO! Laying out the blueprints That pour down a base Concrete solutions to slow our decay But when they are gone, who the fuck's gonna take their place? Yeah, will it be the cynic The critics galore You say "how pathetic", passed out on the floor The trustee can visit Who collectively ignored Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? (That you stood by before) Are you up and on the front lines? Or at home keeping score? Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? (The bricks that seal your fate) Would you rather be the architect of what we might create? Don't you remember when you were young? And you wanted to set the world on fire? Somewhere deep down, I know you don't (HEY HEY HEY HEY) And all you remember when we were young How we wanted to set the world on fire Because I still am and I still do Make no mistake we are not afraid To bear the burden of repeating What they're thinking anyway LET'S RAISE THE STAKES On the bet we made Let's decide to be the architects, the masters of our fate Yeah, we still believe in all the things that we stood by before (We stood by before) And now to everything we've seen here maybe even more And I know we're not the only ones we were not the first (We were not the first) Unapologetically we'll stand behind these words. |

I can still remember The words and what they meant As we etched them with our fingers In years of wet cement The days blurred into each other Though everything seemed clear We cruised along at half speed But then we shifted gears We ran like vampires from a thousand burning sons But even then we should have stayed But we ran away Now all my friends gone Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved Runaway But what are we running from ? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone ? Identities assume us As nine and five add up Synchronizing watches To the seconds that we lost I looked up and saw you I know that you saw me We froze but for a moment In empathy I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug You gave my emptiness away But you ranaway Now all my friends gone Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved Runaway But what are we running from ? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone ? We’re all ok, until the day we’re not The surface shines, while the inside rots We raced the sunset and we almost won We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on We ran away Now all my friends gone Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved Runaway But what are we running from ? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone |

"Behind Closed Doors" Chairs thrown and tables toppled, Hands armed with broken bottles, Standing no chance to win but, We're not running, we're not running. There's a point I think we're missing, It's in the air we raise our fists in, In the smiles we cast each other, My sister, my brother. About the time we gave up hoping We'd ever find these locks still open, Stumbling on stones unturned, The hurt we feel, we all have earned. The lines we cross in search of change, but all they see is treason. Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors. Bonfires burn like beacons, Guiding the lost and weakened. Flames dance on crashing waves, Guiding ships who've gone astray Time out, let's stop and think this through, We've all got better things to do, Than talk in circles, run in place, Answers {are} inches from our face. Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors. Black eyes, broken fingers, Blood drips and I let it run down my lips into my swollen gums. When hope is non-existent, Our instincts all scream "Run", We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues. Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors. [x2] |

"Bricks" When faith alone is not enough, To keep our heads barely above, We look for reason and come up empty-handed. And when our children fight our wars, While we sit back just keeping score, We're teaching murder not understanding now. We're setting the fires to light the way, We're burning it all to begin again, With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands, We sing for change The lives our buried sons have laid, Won't cancel debts we've yet to pay, In death, we justify anything now, As long as we blindly obey and do exactly what they say, We'll have no one to blame, but ourselves now. We're setting the fires to light the way, We're burning it all to begin again, With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands, We sing for change. We run on the fumes of injustice, We'll never die with the fuel that you give us, Keep it coming 'cause I'm prepared to burn, Keep running, find me at every turn. Your life around, (into something true, into something true) So turn your life around, (into something true, something true) We're setting the fires to light the way, We're burning it all to begin again, With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands, We sing for change. |

Our building have fallen, our walls all caved in, and we can't comprehend this sad state that we're in so we sift through the ashes of what we've become and surrender here one by one, so push us down
And we get right back up again, the things you're telling me aren't making any sense, right back up again, I'm sick of wishing for someone else to come Let the blind lead the blind, cause it's eye for an eye in your so called life, are you out there? are you listening? is there something we're still missing? Let the blind lead the blind, cause it's eye for an eye, we all fall down And we get right back up again, the things you're telling me aren't making any sense, right back up again, I'm sick of wishing for someone else to come We're spinning out of control We're trying to find somewhere to land And I don't want you to know The things that keep me down We get right back up again |

Hey, man now did you hear
Your final days are near? In a free fall of fire and ice And explosions in the sky A fate that we deserve There's no escape, No Now it's your turn Now it's your turn It's been years Since our luck ran out and left us here Like broken mirrors Ten million shards of glass and tears But now we are Awake enough to shatter what we hate Like broken mirrors Reflections of an unfamiliar face Hey, hey! Hey, man, you got the time? Hey, can I trouble you for a light? Who, me? no, I'm not the old town crier I'm the one who sets it all on fire A fate, yeah, that we deserve And there's no escape, No Now it's your turn Now it's your turn It's been years Since our luck ran out and left us here Like broken mirrors Ten million shards of glass and tears But now we are Awake enough to shatter what we hate Like broken mirrors Reflections of an unfamiliar face We hide from the mirrors They might show our scars And hear us (Go Go Go) Reflection that we want to be The people we are (the people we are) Confront your reflection Smash what you see And let's restart Cause mirrors can't see our heart It's been years Since our luck ran out and left us here Like broken mirrors Ten million shards of glass and tears But now we are Awake enough to shatter what we hate Like broken mirrors Like broken mirrors Like broken mirrors Like broken mirrors Like broken mirrors Reflections of an unfamiliar face |

Breathe deep and easy, swallow this pride.
Stare at my shaking hands though bone dry, blood shot eyes. Clock strip the hours, I count the miles. Will you be there waiting, awake until sunrise. I have traveled in darkness, for what seems like days, I crawl from these sinkholes collapsed under this weight I know not your sorrow, but I know mine, So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight. In the glow of twilight, our world is finally calm. I felt it complete me, when the stars give way to dawn. A language universal, but I speak not his tongue. Is this a night that spans forever, or a dawn that never comes. I have traveled in darkness, for what seems like days, I, come from the same house, collapsed under this wing. I know not your sorrow, but I know mine, So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight. Tomorrow we might wake in servitude and service? I will give you everything if you would only have me! Tomorrow we will sweat and toil, Our hands will quiver caked with soil, Tomorrow we'll give it one last chance, But tonight we dance, But tonight we dance! And for this, I travel in darkness, for what seems like days, I, come from the same house, collapsed under this wing. I know not your sorrow, but I know mine, Just say you'll stay and dance with me tonight. |

Spoken
This is Noise... Down beyond these city streets through gutters filled with black debris In alleys void of any light where nameless things live out of sight Down through the scrapers of the sky past neon words glowing all night Echoes my name between each car, "Are you happy where you are?" Blind to this impending fate We let the world carry our weight Its back breaks with every mile But we all live in denial Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done? Is it too late to reverse what we've become? A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine Let's go! And so we carry on each day as if our lives are not so grey While every breath that we take, we only suffocate Brush past a myriad of scenes a homeless vet crashed On Wall Street, a single mom of three, a TV personality I'm blind to this impending fate They let the world carry their weight Its back breaks with every mile But they all live in denial Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done? Is it too late to reverse what we've become? A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine Save us from what we have become tonight Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right Save us from what we have become tonight Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right Save us from what we have become tonight Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done? Is it too late to reverse what we've become? A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine! |

When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
And when our summers grow longer and winters won’t snow From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills To the fight in the desert where progress stands still When we’ve lost our will That’s how we’ll know This is not a test, oh no This is cardiac arrest Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes We're crashing into the ground as all fall from grace When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes When your home on the range has been torn down and paved and The buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave What more will it take For us to know This is not a test, oh no This is cardiac arrest Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes Kissing the ground as well fall from grace This is a chance to set things straight To bend or break the rules back into place There is no middle ground, no compromise, we’ve drawn the line With perfect aim, we stand back and throw Glass windows break and it’s all about to blow Lights go out as we pass the torch again In hope that it stays lit Neutrality means that you don’t really care Cause the struggle goes on even when you’re not there Blind and unaware That’s how we’ll know This is not a test, oh no This is cardiac arrest Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes We're crashing into the ground as we all, yeah we all, all fall from grace |

Awake at the bottom
Of the barrels we cry out So ashamed of our tears that We blame only ourselves That's when they win They keep us convinced To lift up our chins These playing fields are level We all have a chance With that they dismiss The fast lanes they rode In which access depends on who you know Or where you came from Whose daughter are you? Whose fortunate son? We're told to stick out our thumbs They feast from the linens While we settle for crumbs Is this an over-reaching arm Or is this compassion? Is this a handout undeserved Or a just reparation? (a just reparation) Away from the towers High above glass ceilinged tombs Tell themselves That they've earned this By working hard And playing by the rules But this is only part true A dangerous trick Played on me and you And so like a practical joke We pulled on these bootstraps So hard that they broke Is this an over-reaching arm Or is this compassion? Is this a handout undeserved Or a just reparation? And like a single domino That falls while the rest stay vertical We're fed these empty fairytales Will you believe them? And if there's a god You better pray That this sleeping giant never wakes And if we just took a step back A bigger picture we might view Perhaps the man in the gutter Is not so different from you Come in out of the cold Forget all that you know Because there's always been room By the fire for you, oh Come in out of the cold Will you believe them? Is this an over-reaching arm Or is this compassion? Is this a handout undeserved Or a just reparation? And like a single domino That falls while the rest stay vertical We're fed these empty fairytales And I'm through believing |

Forget my name and I'll forget it too. Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you. No signs of life here, save the embers, the occasional flame, We'd know the way but can't remember, conception to the grave, Shout confessions from the greatest heights, where no one can hear, All my fears, my insecurities are falling like tears. If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by. Forget my name and I'll forget it too. Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you. The drones all slave away, they're working overtime, They serve a faceless queen, they never question why. Disciples of a God, that neither lives nor breathes, (I won't come back!) But we have bills to pay, yeah we have mouths to feed! (I won't come back!) I won't come back! And if you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by. Forget my name and I'll forget it too.

And on that day they'll tell you
That life hummed on with no clue The warning signs were all Dismissed or shouted down So it goes The kings all failed to tell us The madmen failed to sell us On what would then befall The only life we know? Were they burning signal fires To guide us to the fields? Or building funeral pyres? The outcome of a final appeal The city lines are down The Kerosene's run out The fracturing of all we relied upon Let's shed this unclean skin And start to feel again Cause all the shoulders On which to cry are gone The paranoia gripped us The rain turned engines to rust The panic set in like a cancer to our hearts Spreading through We bet on finite genius Or prayed for gods to save us But there was no antidote Disease tore us apart We left bodies in the fields So numb that we forgot how to feel The city lines are down The Kerosene's run out The fracturing of all we relied upon Let's shed this unclean skin And start to feel again Cause all the shoulders On which to cry are gone He looked at the fields And then his hands "All I need is what I have" Then fell a tear of happiness She watched the world Crumble away "Is this the end of yesterday?" "Lord, I hope so", is all he said Gone are the old guards Gone are the cold, cold wars Weightless we go forth On wings of amnesty All we relied on now The city lines are down The Kerosene's run out The fracturing of all we replied upon Let's shed this unclean skin And start to feel again With no more shoulders Shoulders to cry on now No more No more The weight that we once felt is gone |

Staring at the empty stares Realize that he no longer cares about the wrong or right The downward spiral begins tonight And this could be my great awakening But how would I know 'cause it's all noise to me Are these words falling on deaf ears?

Under lights Soundtrack to this stagnant life This meaning lost in translation Message sucked out of his hands again This could be my great awakening But how would I know 'Cause it's all noise to me Are these words falling on deaf ears? Staring at the empty stares Realize that he no longer cares about the wrong or right The downward spiral begins tonight And this could be my great awakening But how would I know 'cause it's all noise to me Are these words falling on deaf ears? This could be my great awakening But how would I know 'cause it's all noise to me (Nothing I can do will make you hear) |

A sinking ship, an awkward kiss A chance to set things straight The kind of hurt that burns and burns Like fires we can't contain We hole up in a shelter made of bones and ice and there we'll wait So start again with steady hands This time nothing gets in our way But as we peek a little closer what do we see ? A crack in the surface A flaw in the plan (Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand) A cadence imperfect Like a building condemned (Can we indemnify ourselves if we don't face what we're against) A promise kept The dirt unswept A poorly worn disguise A child unloved that then grows up To love what we despise We're broken but still breathing We are wounded but we are healing We pick up right where we left off Breathe on the ashed that remain So that these coals may become fire To guide our way A crack in the surface A flaw in the plan (Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand) A cadence imperfect Like a building condemned (Can we indemnify ourselves if we don't face what we're against) I walk on wounds That seldom prove to slow me down I laugh this constant pain away So you can't tell But there it lies under the smiles It drains me mile after mile But seldom proves to slow me down Here I go Should we just hold on To what remains of What we thought was lost But it's just a crack in the surface A flaw in the plan (Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand) A cadence imperfect Like a building condemned (Can we indemnify ourselves if we don't face what we're against) |

Is this the point where we give up?
Is this the point where we give in? Is this the point where we turn ourselves in? Is this the time to ask questions? Is this the time to seek answers? Is this the time to throw it all in? When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there You're halfway there That's when you know that you're halfway there This is the point where we stand up This is the point where we take back The things that are keeping us from being free When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there That's when you know that you're halfway there Your voice the airwaves sent you prayed my life would end, The wasted time I spent ashamed I called you friend, Give me one reason, I need a reason, one reason |

The day i learn to fly, i'm never coming down On perfect wings i'll rise through the layers of the clouds And from there i see the neon grids of cities Where six million people that keep their fires lit And i threw a party in my name But the hours crawled by and no one came So i bowed my head and i prayed for wings to take me from this place...from you I see myself inside, you dream the dreams that i do You're still searching for these answers, they're not inside your wrist And from there i see the neon grids of cities Where six million people that can keep their fires lit And i threw a party in my name But the hours crawled by and no one came So i bowed my head and i prayed for wings to take me from this place...from you And i close my eyes as the curtains draw I thought i heard your voice but i thought wrong 'cause you're not there anymore no you're not there anymore And so i lift my chin and the show goes on the sky is listening, the stars all sing along but you're not there anymore and i just can't care anymore |

I have my mother's dreams i have my father's eyes you can't take that from me just go ahead and try
The crescent city sleeps while giants in the sky preparing to unleash let loose a mighty cry Can nobody save us will anyone try the bayou is burning The cypress has died and all along they're saying "HELP IS ON THE WAY", THEY SAID THEY SAID, "HELP IS ON THE WAY", THEY SAID THEY SAID ONE BY LAND TWO BY SEA RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME HELP IS ON THE WAY Five thousand feet below as black smoke engulfs the sky the ocean floor explodes eleven mothers cry My bones all resonate a burning lullaby you can't take that from me just go ahead and try She stands at the shoreline with hands in the air her words pierce the dark night "does anyone care?" AND ALL ALONG THEY'RE SAYING "HELP IS ON THE WAY", THEY SAID THEY SAID, "HELP IS ON THE WAY", THEY SAID THEY SAID ONE BY LAND TWO BY SEA RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME HELP IS ON THE WAY Right here,right here - 3x Choking on the black gold upon which we rely we keep axes in the attics to see cameras in the sky Help is on the way they said help is on the way we were told just to sit tight because somebody will soon arrive help is on the way but it never came. |

He said, "Son,
Have you seen the world? Well, what would you say If I said that you could? Just carry this gun, you'll even get paid." I said, "That sounds pretty good." Black leather boots Spit-shined so bright They cut off my hair but it looked alright We marched and we sang We all became friends As we learned how to fight A hero of war Yeah, that's what I'll be And when I come home They'll be damn proud of me I'll carry this flag To the grave if I must Because it's flag that I love And a flag that I trust I kicked in the door I yelled my commands The children, they cried But I got my man We took him away A bag over his face From his family and his friends They took off his clothes They pissed in his hands I told them to stop But then I joined in We beat him with guns And batons not just once But again and again A hero of war Yeah that's what I'll be And when I come home They'll be damn proud of me I'll carry this flag To the grave if I must Because it's flag that I love And a flag that I trust She walked through bullets and haze I asked her to stop I begged her to stay But she pressed on So I lifted my gun And I fired away And the shells jumped through the smoke And into the sand That the blood now had soaked She collapsed with a flag in her hand A flag white as snow A hero of war Is that what they see Just medals and scars So damn proud of me And I brought home that flag Now it gathers dust But it's a flag that I love It's the only flag I trust He said, "Son, have you seen the world? Well what would you say If I said that you could?" |

Even though we know, yeah, We know, Our time has almost come, We're all overdue. Can there be a place to call our own? Can there be a road that takes us home? We toe the line (toe the line). We go along (we go along). We toe the line To you now. When it rains it pours Like summer storms, the skies as grey as leaves. The rivers flood the banks and spill into the streets. But the people laughed and swore that they'd restore The city piece by piece. And then the clouds gave way as if to agree; When it rains it pours. The mystery unknown now unfolds, The life that we once owned, first bought, then sold. Like messengers of war, we've no control. To oceans unexplored, This ship sails through. We toe the line (toe the line). We go along (we go along). We toe the line To you now. When it rains it pours Like summer storms, the skies as grey as leaves. The rivers flood the banks and spill into the streets. But the people laughed and swore that they'd restore The city piece by piece. And then the clouds gave way as if to agree; When it rains it pours. It pours. (It pours). When it rains it pours, When they die we mourn, When it hit, we swore, Now we want not more. Like a saint re-born, Like a rose in a storm, Like a child un-born, A child un-born... It's the coin we're tossing into the well, It's misfortune that we could not foretell, It's the dry spell. When it rains it pours Like summer storms, the skies as grey as leaves. The rivers flood the banks and spill into the streets. But the people laughed and swore that they'd restore The city piece by piece. And then the clouds gave way as if to agree; When it rains it pours. It pours, When it rains it pours. |

Tell me how these things traced with colors filled with black debris And how these loyal, living reich were nameless things swept out of sight Dead through the streamers on the sky past neon words where we Remember those killed by names we each call, are you happy where you are? Blind to this impending fate We'll let the world carry our weight Its back breaks with every mile But we all live in denial Can we be saved, has the damage all been done? Is it too late to reverse what we've become? A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine Let's go! And so we carry on each day as if our lives were not so real While every breath that we take, we only suffocate First bouts of delirium and scenes of homeless Democrats On Wall Street, a single mom of three, a TV personality I’m blind to this impending fate We'll let the world carry their weight Its back breaks with every mile But they all live in denial Can we be saved, has the damage all been done? Is it too late to reverse what we've begun? A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine Save us from what we have become tonight Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right Save us from what we have become tonight Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right Save us from what we have become tonight Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right Can we be saved, has the damage all been done?

There, high on the watchtower Keeping the peace Whatever that means 'Cause you see the world through Crosshairs and TVs don't you Ten foot walls built around us White picket death So quiet, so safe If we fall there will be nothing No one to catch us Sit back and watch as we Spin out of control Spin out of control Try to recover, but collide with each other We spin out of control Something I can't change I was born in a place That lives by the sword And thus to it's blade we're condemned Don't you understand why We scream "no more" My dreams are of children Orphaned by blood Spilled at these hands And here on the graves Of the innocent We raise our flag Spin out of control Spin out of control Try to recover, but collide with each other We spin out of control Some things you don't forgive some things you don't forget Sometimes the fate you suffer is so much worse than death We're way off course now and we're drifting off to sea So cut the anchor on your heart to be set free Spin out of control Spin out of control Try to recover, we have to recover Before we crash, one after the other Spin out of control! |

Late nights and bloodshot eyes, clock ticking half past five, we're barely breathing but we're still alive. GO!
Our plans are all laid out, take all these unmarked roads, we blaze the trails to places no goes, yeah! One last chance to go, if I don't leave tonight I never will One last chance to go, let's take it now in for the kill If in time we find ourselves, back where we started from, too weak to fight and much too tired to run Before you swallow me into your perfect life, I'm not going out without a fight, yeah! One last chance to go, if I don't leave tonight I never will One last chance to go, let's take it now in for the kill But this blueprints faded grey and here it seems like just yesterday when we mapped out the details of our great escape, But still these roads all beckon me to uncover their mystery But I fall like dead autumn leaves and let the jetstream carry me One last chance to go, if I don't leave tonight I never will One last chance to go |

Suffering from something we're not sure of
In a world there is no cure for These lives we live test negative for happiness Flat line, no pulse, but eyes open Single file like soldiers on a mission If there's no war outside our heads Why are we losing? [Chorus: Repeat 2X] I don't ask for much Truth be told I'd settle For a life less frightening, a life less frightening Hang me out to dry I'm soaking With the sense of knowing What's gone wrong but doing nothing I still run Time again I have found myself stuttering Foundations pulled out from under me This breath is wasted on them all Will someone answer me [Chorus] Is there a God tonight? Up in the sky or is it empty just like me (Just like me) A place where we can hide out from the night Where you are all I need (Where you are all I need) So all he says, goodbye, and close your eyes Tell me what you say (Tell me what you say) A life I sit inside this dream of mine Where you are all I see [Chorus] |

Bang bang go the coffin nails
Like a breath, exhaled then gone forever It seems like just yesterday How did i miss the red flags raise? Think back to the days we left We brave these bitter storms together Brought to his knees he cried But on his feet he died What god would deal a heart? And what god drove us apart? What god could... Make it stop Let this end 18 years pushed to the ledge It's come to this A weightless step On the way down, singing Whoah, oh... Bang bang from the closet walls The schoolhouse halls The shotgun's loaded Push me and i'll push back I'm done asking, i demand From the nation under god I feel its love like a cattleprod I'm born free, but still they hate I'm born me, no, i can't change It's always darkest just before the dawn So stay awake with me Let's prove them wrong Make it stop Let this end 18 years pushed to the ledge It's come to this A weightless step On the way down, singing Whoah, oh... The cold river, wash him away But how could we forget The cavalries of candles But not their tongues And too much blood has fallen from the wrist Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss? Who will rise to stop the blood? We're calling for, insisting on A different beat, yeah, a brand new song Make it stop Let this end This life chose me I'm not lost in sin I'm proud I stand Of who i am I plan of going on living Make it stop Let this end All these years pushed to the ledge I'm proud i stand Of who i am I plan to go on living |

I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything My hope, my faith, in what the future brings In hopes of pushing past the tie that brings us down We sing together now. Give me one reason to look you in the eye (Just one!) Tell me exactly why it is that you think you are worth my time I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything. My hope, my faith, in what the future brings In hopes of pushing past the tie that brings us down We sing together now. To all the ones that shake my hand Then talk your shit behind my back To those who claim they understand But never heard a word I said In spite of you, I am still here This vision has never been more clear As we sing together now. (Now that's when!) I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything My hope, my faith, in what the future brings In hopes of pushing past the tie that brings us down We sing together now. |

One last thing I beg you please just before you go
I've watched you fly on paper wings halfway around the world Until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down landing somewhere far from here with no one else around to catch you falling down and I'm looking at you now and I can't tell if you're laughing between each smile there's a tear in your eye there's a train leaving town in an hour it's not waiting for you, and neither am I "Swing for the fences, son" he must have told you once but that was a conversation you took nothing from so raise your glass now, lets celebrate exactly what you've done just put off another day of knowing where you're from you can catch up with yourself if you run... and I can't tell if you're laughing between each smile there's a tear in your eye there's a train leaving town in an hour it's not waiting for you, and neither am I is this the life that you lead, or the life that's lead for you? will you take the road that's been laid out before you? will we cross paths somewhere else tonight? somewhere else tonight... and I can't tell if you're laughing between each smile there's a tear in your eye there's a train leaving town in an hour it's not waiting for you, and neither am I and I can't tell if you're laughing between each smile there's a tear in your eye there's a train leaving town in an hour it's not waiting for you, and neither am I |

"Prayer Of The Refugee"
Warm yourself by the fire, son, And the morning will come soon. I’ll tell you stories of a better time, In a place that we once knew. Before we packed our bags And left all this behind us in the dust, We had a place that we could call home, And a life no one could touch. Don’t hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down! Don’t hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down! Down! We are the angry and the desperate, The hungry, and the cold, We are the ones who kept quiet, And always did what we were told. But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm, In the safety of your home. We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up Everything you’ve known. Don’t hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down! Don’t hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down! So open your eyes child, Let’s be on our way. Broken windows and ashes Are guiding the way. Keep quiet no longer, We’ll sing through the day, Of the lives that we’ve lost, And the lives we’ve reclaimed. Go! Don’t hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down! Don’t hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down! Don’t hold me up… (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground) Don’t hold me up… (I don’t need your help) No! No! No! Don’t hold me up! (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground) Don’t hold me up! (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground) Don’t let me down, down, down, down, down! |

To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines We toss and turn but don't sleep Each breath we take makes us thieves Like causes without rebels Just talk but promise nothing else We crawl on our knees for you Under a sky no longer blue We sweat all day long for you But we sow seeds to see us through 'Cuz sometimes dreams just don't come true We wait to reap what we are due To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away And the blare of the sirens combing the streets Chased down like dogs we run from Your grasp until the sun comes up We crawl on our knees for you Under a sky no longer blue We sweat all day long for you But we sow seeds to see us through 'Cuz sometimes dreams just don't come true Look now at what they've done to you White needles buried in the red The engine roars and then it gives But never dies 'Cuz we don't live We just survive On the scraps that you throw away I won't crawl on my knees for you I won't believe the lies that hide the truth I won't sweat one more drop for you 'Cuz we are the rust upon your gears We are the insects in your ears We crawl We crawl We crawl... all over you We sow the seeds to see us through Our days are precious and so few We all reap what we are due Under this sky no longer blue We bring the dawn long over-due We crawl We crawl We crawl... all over you |

Hold on slow down again from the top now and tell me everything
I know I've been gone for what seems like forever But I'm here now waiting To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger But closer than you think She said just go on she wants you And same does your life by Please don't die on me Wings won't take me Heights don't phase me So take a step But don't look down Take a step Now I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall Perpetual motion the image won't focus A blur is all that's in But here in this moment like the eye of the storm It all came clear to me I found a shoulder to lean on An infallible reason to live all by itself I took one last look from the heights that I once loved And then I ran like hell Wings won't take me Heights don't phase me So take a step But don't look down Take a step Now I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall I count the times that I've been sorry I know, I know Now my conventions slowly drowns I know, I know If there's a time these walls could guard you I know, I know Then let that time be right now Now I'm standing on a rooftop Now I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall And I'm standing on a rooftop (ready to fall) And I'm standing on a rooftop (ready to fall) And I'm standing on a rooftop (ready to fall) And I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall |

You talk about the way things were
But I can't hear what you're saying A time when life was not this hard Blessed by the innocence Is the best yet to come? Or did it pass by long ago? Are we holding on to a thread Of something already dead? I'm not your reason to stand up straight Shoulders back chest out and eyes raised Stepping back, I hesitate I can't let myself be taken The reception fades, the signals breaking up And am I moving on or am I giving up? If you walk away from this with anything Live your life today |
