Audioslave Album

You know what to do, you know what I did
Since you know everything just clue me in
I am such a wreck, I am such a mess
I know what I know, why don't you fill in the rest

I will bring you down, I will make it bad
While you're feelin' proud, why don't you help me

Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now
Your revelations
Let me in I don't want to live without
Your revelations

You know what to say, you know what I said
You know what I dream sleeping in my bed
You hold all the keys, you know all the roads
Why don't you guide me in if I'm such a lost soul

I'm spinning 'round, I will make you ill
Since I'm so broken down, why don't you fix me


Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now
(I wouldn't know by now)
Your revelations
Let me in I don't want to live without
(Don't want to live without)
Your revelations

(Solo)

I am haunted when I am sleeping
Try to give without recieving
It's in the applebite, it's in the days and nights
In the afterlife we'll reap

Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now
(I wouldn't know by now)
Your revelations
Let me in I don't want to live without
(Don't want to live without)
Your revelations

Such a shame, such a shame
That I wouldn't know by now
Cut me in I don't want to live without
(Don't want to live without)
The revelations, revelations

Well they don't hate you, you know they love you
But they're gonna come kill you
They don't mean you any harm
It's just what they do
Could be you're mother
Could be you're father
Or you're best friend in the world

But just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the
same)
Just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the same)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You wear a mask with a target
Keep you're enemies closer
You fall in love from a great height, now the easy part's over
Choose you're battles, not you're soldiers
You know they'll show their colors

But just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the
same)
Just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the same)
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same
Just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the same)
Just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the same)
Just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the same)
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey!

In the here and now I wait
Among the young and the old
Between the moon and the ground I play
With my children in my home
This is for the daughters and sons
Of forgotten ones
Learning how to stand
This is for the innocent unknowns
Buried in the sand

Running from the sound of a gun
And you’re weary
Running from the sound of a gun

In the crack of the blackness I wake
It’s getting closer every night
My city playground is a battleground
Between the wrong and the right
I could run free as a child
I was safe and wild
Naked and unarmed
Now I’m grown and safe in my home
But some will never stop

Running from the sound of a gun
Til’ you’re weary
Running from the sound of a gun

The open mouth of the city
Swallowed the town
With that same old concrete
That I still walk down
And it seems they put a shine
On this place when I was young
But baby I just don’t see it now

Running from the sound of a gun
Til’ I’m weary
Running from the sound of a gun

I walked the streets without regret
I stood alone and watched myself fall apart
Answered the voices in my head
Slipped through the chain link of a broken heart

When I'm tired and I'm feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers until we fall

Back down again

But everything that's any good
I understand that I've been misunderstood
When I'm tired and I'm feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers until we fall

Until we fall, until we fall
Back down again

Yeah, back down again

Do you see before you blink
Do you feel before you think
Who do you battle in your dreams
Who strokes your feathers until you scream

When I'm tired and I'm feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers until we fall

Until we fall, until we fall
Back down again

Yeah, back down again

The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on (x4)

With a pen in one hand, taking us and burned on kerosine
Headed for a fire would find us something to believe
Wallowing round with dirty hands on wires
Singing songs in dischord choirs
Screaming in brail, no temptress prize
could ever yield anything so real

The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on (x2)

Golden soldiers born much older than they'll ever live to be
Diving into a sea of hands in a long forgotten city
When the rain falls ever after
the swinging vines hang dead in rafters
Blood rush to (here?) your head induces of laughter endlessly

The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and long gone, but the riot inside moves on

Can't explain it, it was something to see
Can't contain something so ever real
Ever real

Can't explain it, it was something to see
Can't contain something so ever real
Ever real

The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on (x4)

My city sleeps by the side of a freeway, the city scraps
And winter time she wore a yellow coat
Now there's nothin' on her back
If a building falls you wouldn't care to notice unless you were in it
Then no one cares about climbin' stairs, nothin' at the top no more

Outside trippin' in the broken city
Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack
Outside trippin' in the broken city
Outside kickin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Now the snow falls down like it's fallin' on an ocean
Dead and empty by the railroad tracks where they used to go and come
Now they don't come back
You can heal the rust, goin' up the throughways
Down the alleys where they stole this town from the frontier
I can see 'em tryin' to steal it back

Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack
Outside kickin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside trippin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Now the sun won't shine on this part of the map
Anymore
When it's cold outside I see it hide behind the smokestacks
No thin roses, no goldrush, no miner, no revolution they'd hire
And the shipyard is a graveyard, no one will be trying to find him

Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside kickin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack
Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside kickin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo (There's nothin' wrong with that)
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo do (Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Somedays, somedays, somedays just ain't so easy

Wake up, look around just before you're feet hit the ground
Where they make the oil and street, is where you stand and where you sleep
Black and whites along the lights, plain clothes and Miranda Rights
At the right place but in the wrong life, somedays just ain't so easy

Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays) just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays), somedays (Somedays)
Just ain't so easy

It's not the fault of anyone as we revolve around the sun
We sleep beneath the same sky but we all see it through different eyes
So if you go or if you stay, standin' still or if you walk away
If you bend or if you break somedays just ain't so easy

Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays) just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays), somedays (Somedays)
Just ain't so easy, they just ain't so easy
Oh yeah

Nobody say it's so easy, yeah
I don't care for somedays

Someone may have done you right or done you wrong
Or kept it down from the day you were born
There's no need to apologize for the riot in your eyes
Somedays just ain't so easy
Hey! Hey! Hey!

Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays) just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays), somedays (Somedays)
Just ain't so easy

Well it's late in the hour and a few more grains of sand will fall
On the colorful flowers grown upon the dust and moss
Now I feel the worst is near
I hold them close and count they're years
And pray a ray of light appears
To shine down on us here

Breakdown in the shape of things to come
But I move along like a soldier
And I say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break, the shape of things to come

There's a crack in the clouds, but only for a moment now
Like an owl looking out, the blue sky spies the roads we will go down
I wonder what they hold for us, I hold my family to my breast
I feel the worst and hope the best will come to see us blessed

Breakdown in the shape of things to come
But I move along like a soldier
And I say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break, the shape of things to come
Hey! Hey!

Give me one more try in what I'll change
I won't deny the thought is strange
I've done my best and now we'll ? myself

Breakdown in the shape of things to come
But I move along like a soldier
And I say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break, the shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come

When I was 18 I didn't know pain when the sun was high
Burnt face, shadow's erased and I knew I'd be alright
They tried to hurt me, uh-huh
Somethin' blinded me, uh-huh
That reminded me, uh-huh
Of a better space and time, miles away

The jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time

When I turned 21 I saw the sun pulling out of sight
All that I met were dark silhouette's stumbling in the night
But we collided, uh-huh
In a ?, uh-huh
Got alot on me, uh-huh
Now I'm bathing in the bright of divided rays

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
Time, time

I left that behind me, uh-huh
But somethin' blinded me, uh-huh
You reminded me, uh-huh
Of a better space and time, miles away

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time

You can a look a hurricane right in the eye
1200 people dead or left to die
Follow the leaders, we're in an eye for an eye we'll all be blind
Death for murder and this I'm sure in this uncertain time

So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake

Down on the road the world is floating by
The poor and undefended left behind
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil
As if the whole world were blind, hey

So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake

Come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake!

Just like a rescue of a stray dog in the rain I was
Hungry when you found me
And you could tell by my tail and my rib cage what was
Once around me

I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around
But now I'm found and I won't run away

Bless your heart you gave me a home and a new start
And I will leave you never
Sleep at your feet and stay guard at you're front door
I will keep things together

I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around
But now I'm found and I won't run away

I killed myself, threw away my mental health but nobody was blinking an eye
Backyard, basement, falling on the pavement
Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye
Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye

It's true I ran away before but be sure
I am no tail-chaser
I know a good thing when it throws me a bone
I'm you're best friend forever

I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around
But now I'm found and I won't run away

Thought I was different and it seems I'm just the same
As a game I put my hand over the flame
I thought I was smarter as I flew into the sun
But it turned out the way it does with everyone

Oh, oh
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around you're fire anymore

I love the heat I love the things that I forgot
I love the strings that tie me down and cut me off
I was a king, I was a moth with painted wings made of cloth
When did the flame burn so high and get so hot?

Oh, oh
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around, fly around
Fly around

I don't fly around you're fire anymore
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I won't fly around, fly around

I won't fly around you're fire anymore
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around, fly around
Oh
Fly around, oh
