Hope. A new beginning.
Time. Time to start living like just before we die.
There's no going back to the place we started from.
Hurts. Falling through fingers
Trust. Trust in the feeling theirs something left inside.
There's no going back to the place we started from.
All secrets known.
Calm. Our wounds are healing.
Strong. Truth is worth saving.
I want to feel alive.
There's no going back to the place we started from.
All secrets known.

So I found myself in the sun, oh yeah
A hell of a place to end a run, oh yeah
California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain
Check my brain
I walk these streets, I creep and I fall, oh yeah
When she sang I answered the call, oh yeah
California, I'm fine somebody check my brain
California's all right somebody check my brain
Aaaaah tears have filled my bones
Aaaaah years expended gone
guitar
I hung my guns and put em away, oh yeah
The trick of the trade, and by the way, oh yeah
California, I'm fine somebody check my brain
California's all right somebody check my brain
Aaaah tears have filled my bones
aaaah years expended gone
(Repeat)
Check my brain, check my brain ...

So young so brazen so unholy
I come to you in painted skies
Your broken saint, your ancient story
The living challenge to their lies
Trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
They wanna force my hand
Until I...
Take what I wanted and
Break all the lies that they
Feed, the fuckin liars
Smash all the temples and
Crawl through the rubble and
Cry to the fallen
I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm the last of my kind still standing down the law...
A wolf alone upon the hillside
I live on what they throw away
I go to sleep behind the eight ball
I live to fight for one more day
I'm trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
They wanna force my hand
'Til I...
Take what I wanted and
Break all the lies that they
Feed, the fuckin liars
Smash all the temples and
Crawl through the rubble and
Cry to the fallen
Last of my kind still standing
Last of my kind still standing

Time to change has come and gone
Watched your fears become your God
It's your decision
It's your decision
Overwhelmed, you chose to run
Apathetic to the stunned
It's your decision
It's your decision
You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lied
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside
No one plans to take the path that brings you lower
And here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over
(solo)
It might seem an afterthought
Yes it hurts to know you're bought
It's your decision
It's your decision
You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lied
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside
It's your decision
It's your decision
No one plans to take the path that brings you lower
And here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over
It's over

Here footsteps creek the floor
the shadows give away
someone outside the door
wont let em in
life damaged kids to crime
a rundown broke machine
that steals your peace of mind
before you know its gone
lay down
lay
silence burning
hold your tongue
keep us separate
so they'll know
hiding in the darkness under
boiling to the surface don't go far
looking in view to knock on the outside
desperate plans make sense in a low life
hey
(repeat)
these things I hate in you
are so reflect it seems
distortion laced with spikes
digs you outta me
lay down
lay
hiding in the darkness under
boiling to the surface don't go far
crawling on your skin discomfort
makes you break and run, stumble, fall
looking in view to those on the outside
desperate plans make sense in a low life
hey
(repeat)
it's why you never tell me (whatevers on your mind)
it's why you never tell me (whatevers on your mind)
it's why you never tell me (whatevers on your mind)
it's why you never tell me (whatevers on your mind)
looking in view to knock on the outside
desperate plans make sense in a low life
hey
(repeat)
it's why you never tell me (whatevers on your mind)

Run
run 'til you drop
hide
everyone knows
We are trading
never be forced
selling out for the score
Brain, squeal when you call
Cry, it's not my fault
Time to trade in
never be forced
selling out for the score
It seems you prophecized
all of this would end
were you burned away
when the sun rose again
Hey, long wearing thin
Negative, all you've been
Time to trade in
never be forced
selling out for the score
It seems you prophecized
all of this would end
were you burned away
when the sun rose again
It seems you prophecized
all of this would end
were you burned away
when the sun rose again

You tried to kill me off
Surprised, I remain
A scale tips, impossible
Afraid of my own name
And I always paid attention to all the lines you crossed
Forgive this imperfection it shows, and know
I am the child that lives and cries in the corner
Dies in the corner
Unloved inside your mind
Intent obsolescence
Built into the system
I tried to shake it off
You can't remove this stain
A scale breaks, impossible
Afraid we are the same
And you never paid attention to all the lines I crossed
Forgive this imperfection it shows, and know
I am the child that lives and cries in the corner
Dies in the corner
Unloved inside your mind
Hides in a corner
Dies in a corner
Unloved inside your mind
Intent obsolescence
Built into the system

Just another lesson learned
Wear a scar, a bore repeating
Take a simple fateful turn
Opened up to stop the bleeding
Feeling like you never could
Been the disconnected frying
Hit the vein & struck a nerve
Seeing through a self that's bleeding
Nowhere to buy in
Most of us hiding
Others are shining
You know when you find it
In your darkest hour you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all
Just another lesson learned...
Just another bick you toss
Stone the number one deceiver
Multiply the added cost
Easy to become a believer
Feeling like you never could
Been the disconnected frying
Hit the vein & struck a nerve
Seeing through a self that's bleeding
Nowhere to buy in
Most of us hiding
Others are shining
You know when you find it
In your darkest hour you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all
Just another lesson learned...

Here I am again
I feel time is draggin on
Aren't you getting tired of me?
Whinging overdrawn
Faceless, blind
Want to take her out again
She's not just mine
Want to take her out again
In a bodiless embrace
Thriving I have grown
Fickle changing grip replaced
Choking take it all
Faceless, blind
Want to take her out again
She's not just mine
Want to take her out again
Dedicated, true to form
Still the only one
Only guarantee
Continue after I am done
Faceless, blind
Want to take her out again
She's not just mine
Want to take her out again

Give away a love
And then remove another too
Painted words adorn the walls
Echoing untrue
I feel cold... uh huh
Promises abound
You rarely find it to begin
Maybe I'm afraid to let you
All the way in
I guess so... uh huh
I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell
Lately I'm beside myself
Pretending, unconcerned
Standing on a corner
Where I threw you on a turn
I'll move on... uh huh
Flowers on a cross remain
Mark an ending scene
Damn it all if blood you spill
Turn the grass more green
Life is short... uh huh
I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell
. . .

I don't wanna feel no more
It's easier to keep falling
Imitations are pale
Emptiness on
tomorrow's haunted by your ghost
Lay down, Black gives way to blue
Lay down, I'll remember you
Fading out by design
Consciously avoiding changes
Curtains drawn, now it's done
Silencing off
tomorrow's forcing a goodbye
Lay down, Black gives way to blue
Lay down, I'll remember you
