There is a fire, burning in the ocean With death black smoke and devil red flames You can see it, burning from the valley, Oh you can see it from the high planes
Well they went drillin' Searching for black gold To add more dollars to their names Then one evening so suddenly and violent, There was an explosion they can’t explain
Now the deep water horizon Descends down to deaths door And at the bird’s foot They’ve lost all hope Cause oil is a driftin' For miles and miles Poisoning the Gulf of Mexico
But what of the eleven Men at the bottom, Who sank to An underwater grave? And while they were sinking And their lungs filled with oil, They must have been screaming, Screaming to be saved
But what of the eleven Men at the bottom, Who sank to An underwater grave? And while they were sinking And their lungs filled with oil, They must have been screaming, Screaming to be saved.
Come close, lay next to me I need to tell you something important
So stay close, remain next to me I need to feel important
Because it's your eyes I don't believe And my heart, you will, you will mislead Do you know the consequence that comes with having such confidence?
Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and walk away from me
So what is this now, you ask of me? What's makes your pain such an urgency? Now I want out, so plain to see Once again my dear, a brand new tragedy
Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and you walk away from me Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and you walk away from me
Bleeding all the strength from my life Then you turn and you run away from me You’re bleeding all the strength from my life Then you turn and you run away from me
This highway's dark and empty. Just miles and miles of endless road. I've got a sickness pounding in my head. I'm at the mercy of the ghost.
What will it take to live as if I would not another day? To live without despair, and to be without disdain. How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own? What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?
I sought after, after reasons to stay. I was lost, I was lost. Then the sky turned black, And the rains poured down. I was waiting, waiting to be found. oh, no.
How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own? What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?
Then I would sing all that I could sing Cause that is when, when I feel that I'm not just counting time. Oh when I sing all that I can sing Maybe just for a moment things would seem all right. Oh when I sing, oh when I sing Oh when I sing, oh when I sing
Last night I dreamt that they dropped a bomb Oh the sea ran dry and the winds had calmed Skyscrapers fell, they all turned to dust, Their skeletons of steel were covered in rust
And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
Colours were drained straight from the sky And nothing living had survived The mountains were merely removed from the earth Silver and gold had lost all its worth
And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
I woke from the dream in a cold, cold sweat I was full of doubt and deep regret, Suddenly it was so clear to me; There was nothing left in which to believe
And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
Sorrowing man, look how worn you've become, You once were Lord of the baron sea There’s blood on our hands, in this perfect madness, you're living on borrowed time
Oh how you have lost your way Oh how you have lost your way
There's no sympathy for we don't know the cure, Cause what you've got, well it runs too pure But you've lived and breathed more than any man I know But you're not done, oh, at least, I hope
Oh how you have lost your way Oh how you have lost your way In this life what we have made together Oh how you have lost your way
Oh how you have lost your way Oh how you have lost your way
Come close, lay next to me I need to tell you something important
So stay close, remain next to me I need to feel important
Because it's your eyes I don't believe And my heart, you will, you will mislead Do you know the consequence that comes with having such confidence?
Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and walk away from me
So what is this now, you ask of me? What's makes your pain such an urgency? Now I want out, so plain to see Once again my dear, a brand new tragedy
Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and you walk away from me Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and you walk away from me
Bleeding all the strength from my life Then you turn and you run away from me You’re bleeding all the strength from my life Then you turn and you run away from me
O' sister, What's wrong with your mind? You used to be, so strong and stable.
My sister, What made you fall from grace? I'm sorry that I, was not there to catch you. What have the demons done? What have the demons done with the luminous light, That once shined from your eyes? What makes you feel so alone? Is it the whispering ghosts, that you fear the most?
But the blackness in your heart won't last forever. I know it's tearing you apart, But it's a storm you can weather.
O' sister, Those lines etched in your hands They're hardened and rough Like a road map of sorrow
My sister, There is a sadness on your face. You're like a motherless child, whose longing for comfort.
What's running through your veins, that's causing you such pain? Does it have something to do, with the pills they gave to you? What is eating at your soul? Was it the whispering ghost, that left you out in the cold?
But the blackness in your heart, won't, last forever. I know it's tearing you apart But it's a storm you can weather.
I've been up for days, Trying to find a way to write this confession down. Seems every line I write's amiss, At least this I'll admit. For what I've done I am not proud. But there's no need to pretend, No need for innocence. I've got to be honest now.
My verdict has come in, It says I'm guilty for my sins this time. I thought I could escape, But then I finally felt the weight, Of my crimes. It's passion. It's not love. Infatuation never ends up right. At least I won't be alone tonight. 'Cuz I don't want to be alone tonight.
The prosecution rests, With convincing evidence. It seems I've been deceived. So now I stand alone and wait for the first stone, To be cast upon me.
My verdict has come in, It says I'm guilty for my sins this time. I thought I could escape, But then I finally felt the weight of my crimes. It's passion. It's not love. Infatuation never ends up right. At least I won't be alone tonight. 'Cuz I don't want to be alone tonight. If convicted, I will surely do my time.
At least I won't be alone tonight. 'Cuz I don't want to be alone tonight.
What if I can't be all that you need me to be We've got a good thing going, we have some promises to keep But my addiction it can be such a detriment Please believe in this my dear, I am more than penitent
What if everything’s just the way that it will be Could it be that I am meant to cause you all this grief My war ships are lying off the coast of your delicate heart And my aim is steady and true as it's been right from the start
There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with me From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories. If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all
So when we leave it'll be a quick midnight escape We'll disconnect ourselves from all of yesterday I'll dig for water and fashion our very own wishing well Then we'll throw our coins down hoping to rid of us of this little hell
There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with me From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories. If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all
Will we get out of this little hell Will we get out of this little hell Will we get out of this little hell Will we get out of this little hell
So i cross my heart and hope to die before i have the chance to lie to you my dear whom i wish no harm but i know in the end this will turn out wrong see i've been known to fall in love but sometimes love just is not enough and my heart will stray before too long so please forgive me for when i sing this song
Do I have nothing good left to say Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints People love to drink their troubles away Sometimes I feel that I'd be better off that way
'Cause maybe then I could sleep at night I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light This is something that I'll never control My nerves will be the death of me, I know
So here's to living life miserable And here's to all the lovely stories that I've told Maybe drinking wine will validate my sorrow Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle
Maybe then I could sleep at night I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light This is something that I'll never control My nerves will be the death of me, I know
Finally I could hope for a better day No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn't seem so heavy But then again, I'll probably always feel this way
At least I know I'll never sleep at night I'll always lie awake until the morning light This is something that I'll never control My nerves will be the death of me, I know
There's a funeral procession on the highway traffic screeches to a halt there's people searching for a better way to live their lives
johnny lived a good life you'll hear them say as tears of sadness soak the ground the reaper crept in, took his breath away in the middle of the night
We celebrate the lives of the dead it's like a man's best party only happens when he dies we gather round to pay our respects while their souls are still searching for the light
so please don't come to me on my dying day just let me go in peace. with all the things that i forgot to say racing through my mind
don't you bury me six feet under ground just burn my body in a box and let my ashes blow with the wind out into the night sky
We celebrate the lives of the dead it's like a man's best party only happens when he dies we gather round to pay our respects while their souls are still searching for the light
And I awoke Only to find my lungs empty And through the night, so it seems I'm not breathing And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down
And I'm afraid, to sleep because of what haunts me Such as living with the uncertainty That I'll never find the words to say which would completely explain Just how I'm breaking down
Someone come and, someone come and save my life Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead But now it's like the night is taking up sides With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind Could it be? This misery will suffice
I've become the simple souvenir of someone's kill Like the sea I'm constantly changing from calm to ill Madness fills my heart and soul As if the great divide could swallow me whole Oh, how I'm breaking down
Someone come and, someone come and save my life Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead But now its like the night is taking up sides With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind Could it be? This misery will suffice
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life) Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life) Someone come and, someone come and save my life Could it be? This misery will suffice
A coma might feel better than this, attempting to discover where to begin. You're weighed down, you're full of something. Of sickness, and desertion. You're weighed down, you're full of something, you're underneath it all.
So say goodbye to love, and hold your head up high. There's no need to rush we're all just waiting, waiting to die.
Hoping a better place is all I need, with moments of innocence and mystery. Oh, it's the little things you miss. Like waking up all alone. Oh, it's the little things you miss, when you're underneath it all.
So say goodbye to love, and hold your head up high. There's no need to rush we're all just waiting, waiting to die.
All your friends seem like enemies when you're broken down and empty. All your friends seem like enemies when you're broken down and empty.
So say goodbye to love, and hold your head up high. There's no need to rush we're all just waiting, waiting to die.
You need not to climb mountain tops you need not to cross the sea you need not to find a cure for everything that makes you weak
you need not to reach for the stars when life becomes so dark and when the wind does blow against the grain you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart
all your friends have come and gone and the sun no longer shines and the happiness for which you long is washed away like an oceans tide
when all the hard times outweigh the good and all your words are misunderstood when the day seems lost from the start you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart
If you feel you've paid the price and your wounds should cease to heal and everything you love in life spins like a winding wheel
if you should wake to find your abandoned and the road you traveled leads to a dead end when death creaps in to play it's part you must follow your heart.
I wish I Could do better by You, 'cause that's what you deserve You sacrifice So much of your life In order for this to work
While I'm off chasing my own dreams Sailing around the world Please know that I'm yours to keep My beautiful girl
And when you cry A piece of my heart dies Knowing that I may have been the cause If you were to leave Fulfill someone else's dreams I think I might totally be lost
You don't ask for no diamond rings No delicate strings of pearls That's why I wrote this song to sing My beautiful girl
Oooh...
1, 2 1, 2, 3, 4
I wish I Could do better by You, 'cause it's what you deserve You sacrifice So much of your life In order for this to work
While I'm off chasing my own dreams (my own dreams) And sailing around the world (around the world) Please know that I'm yours to keep My beautiful girl
And when you cry A piece of my heart dies Knowing that I may have been the cause If you were to leave And fulfill someone else's dreams I think I might totally be lost
But you don't ask for no diamond rings (diamond rings) No delicate string of pearls (string of pearls) That's why I wrote this song to sing My beautiful girl
Ohh...
But you don't ask for no diamond rings (diamond rings) No delicate string of pearls (string of pearls) That's why I wrote this song to sing My beautiful girl
I get so distracted By some people's reactions I don't see my own faults For what they are.
