Creed Album

Don't cry victim to me
Everything we are and used to be is buried and gone
Now it's my turn to speak
It's my turn to expose and release what's been killing me
I’ll be damned fighting you
It's impossible, impossible
Say goodbye with no sympathy

I’m entitled to overcome
Completely stunned and numb
Knock me down, throw me to the floor
There’s no pain; I can't feel no more
I’m entitled to overcome
Overcome

Finally see what's beneath
Everything I am and hope to be cannot be lost
I’ll be damned fighting you
You're impossible, impossible
Say goodbye with no sympathy

I’m entitled to overcome
Completely stunned and numb
Knock me down, throw me to the floor
There’s no pain; I can't feel no more
I’m entitled to overcome
Overcome
Overcome

You'll never know what I was thinking before you came 'round
Take a step, take a breath, put your guard down
(Overcome)
I cannot worry anymore of what you think of me
I may be crazy but I'm buried in your memory

I’m entitled to overcome
Completely stunned and numb
Knock me down, throw me to the floor
There’s no pain; I can't feel no more

(Look in my eyes)
I’m entitled to overcome
(I'll fight till I die)
Completely stunned and numb
(Look in my eyes)
I’m entitled to overcome
(I'll fight till I die)
Completely stunned and numb
I'm entitled to overcome

I may be crazy but I'm buried in your memory

If you say I'm alive I guess I'm living
Why should I guess your size, a choice I've been given
Tell me everything's fine and peace is coming
I won't listen to the heartache I'm numbing

When the world casts me down and says I've changed
I'll survive on all the promises you made to me
Guess there's no one to blame
When all you're living on is bread of shame
Bread of Shame
When the world says I've changed
Bread of shame
Just promise me fame I'll survive on the bread of shame

As long as you say I'm free
Then keep these chains off me
Tell me down is up
I'll let you fill this broken cup
When the world fall down
Let them fall on me
Cause no one's around who believe me

When the world casts me down and says I've changed
I'll survive on all the promises you made to me
Guess there's no one to blame
When all you're living on is bread of shame
Bread of Shame
When the world says I've changed
Bread of shame
Just promise me fame I'll survive on the bread of shame

Tell me where I sign my name
Inside I find no peace of mind to hide behind
Only bread of shame
Tell me where I sign my name
Inside I have no peace of mind
Only bread of shame

Bread of Shame
When the world says I've changed
Bread of Shame
Just promise me fame I'll survive on the bread of shame

I stand surrounded by the walls that once confined me.
Knowing I'll be underneath them when they crumble, when they fall
With clarity my scars remind me
Ask yourself what's just under my skin
Different smiles again
So much I hide
How is stepping back a move forward?

Now I'm forced to look behind
I'm forced to look at you
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell me which is you
Broken mirrors paint the floor
Why can't you see the truth?
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell me which is you
Tell me which is you.

Here only time made no change
Pointing fingers, laying blame.
Lying over and over and over and over
Deceiving your mind
Dug my grave, trashed my name
Yet here I stand so you won't fade away
Different smiles again
So much I hide
How is stepping back a move forward?

Now I'm forced to look behind
I'm forced to look at you
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell me which is you
Broken mirrors paint the floor
Why can't you see the truth?
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell me which is you
Tell me which is you

I bleed inside (wanna bleed)
Just let it out I bleed inside
I'm gonna let it out
Let it die!

Now I'm forced to look behind
I'm forced to look at you
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell me which is you
Broken mirrors paint the floor
Why can't you tell the truth?
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell me which is you
Tell me tell me tell me (Tremonti magic)
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me which is you
Tell me which is you

A nature to nurture
An instinct to sin
What's under me
The skin you live in
You trade your unlimited
Your precious creation
You will submit
You will get it

Suddenly I have no strength at all
So suddenly hit with all I've lost
Suddenly my world, is falling apart
So suddenly so suddenly
Suddenly

You say you're a victim
But that's just a symptom
You're so very clear
You volunteered
Why are you fighting just stop your denying
Own up to the sin
You bury within

Suddenly I have no strength at all
So suddenly hit with all I've lost
Suddenly my world, is falling apart
So suddenly so suddenly
Suddenly

I have no strength at all
I've been hit with a loss
So suddenly my world falls apart
I have no strength at all
I've been hit with a loss
Suddenly my world falls apart
My world, falls apart

Suddenly I have no strength at all
So suddenly hit with all I've lost
Suddenly my world, is falling apart
So suddenly so suddenly
Suddenly

Suddenly I have no strength at all
So suddenly hit
So suddenly hit
Suddenly my world falls apart
So suddenly so suddenly
Suddenly

Can you help me out, can you lend me a hand?
It's safe to say that I'm stuck again
Trapped between this life and the light
I just can't figure out, how to make it right...

A thousand times before
I've wondered if there's something more... something more...

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
With every tomorrow comes another life...

I feel it's gonna rain, for days and days
(I feel it's gonna rain)
I tried to figure out, I can't understand...
What it means... to be whole again...
Trapped between the truth and the consequence
Nothing's real, nothing's making sense...

A thousand times before
I've wondered if there's something more... something more...

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
I feel it's going to rain like this... rain like this... rain like this...

Fall down, wash away my yesterdays
Fall down, so let the rain fall down on me...

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
Let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
I feel it's going to rain like this... rain like this...

So let the rain fall...
I feel it's gonna rain like this... rain like this...
So let the rain fall down...
I feel it's gonna rain like this...

I feel it's gonna rain.

You walked away in silence
You walked away to breathe
Stopped and turned around to say goodbye to me
I'm pleading as your leaving I'm begging you stay
I'm not the man I used to be, I've changed
I'm not the man I used to be, I've changed

Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
If my life is the price, then my life it will cost
Now that I'm picking up the pieces see the pain that I have caused
It's hard to believe in someone you thought was lost
Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
Don't you walk away in silence...

In tears you counted reasons
Tears covered you it seemed
Face down screaming "God help me please"
I'm pleading as your leaving; I'm begging you to stay
I'm not the man I used to be, I've changed
I'm not the man I used to be, I've changed

Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
If my life is the price, then my life it will cost
It will cost my life
Now that I'm picking up the pieces see the pain that I have caused
It's hard to believe in someone you thought was lost
Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
Don't you walk away in silence
Please come back to me
Don't you walk away in silence
I'm not the man I used to be!

Well I pray that tomorrow you'll be home
We can rebuild and forever we can go on
Go on, and go on
We can go on, well I pray that tomorrow you'll be home
Look at horizons and let the light bring you home, bring you home

Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
If my life is the price, then my life it will cost
Now that I'm picking up the pieces see the pain that I have caused
It's hard to believe in someone you thought was lost
Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
Don't walk away in silence
Please don't walk away
Don't you walk away in silence
I'm not the man I used to be!

The cradle of civilization sparks my fascination
Truth ignites our generation to change what's been programmed
Inside my mind

Don't you turn a blind eye
Change what's been programmed inside
Don't you turn a blind eye

Listen to me when I tell you
Feel the passion in my breath
Stay on top if they let you
Cause the change is permanent!
Change is permanent

Rudiments of interpersonal communication
Truth will uproot and bring war's devastation to light

Don't you turn a blind eye
Change what's been programmed inside
Don't you turn a blind eye
Staying silent is a crime

Listen to me when I tell you
Feel the passion in my breath
Stay on top if they let you
Cause the change is permanent!
Change is permanent

Change starts in your mind
Leave the past behind
Forget everything you know
Make a change...Let go (x2)

Letgo...let go...let go

Listen to me when I tell you
Feel the passion in my breath
Stay on top if they let you
Cause the change is permanent!
Change is permanent (x2)

The eyes around me are so cold
With every chance they steal my soul
So walk with me, Talk with me,
Hold my hand I'm stumbling
In consequence here is me alive

Can you fix what's made to be broken
I can't fix what's made to be

My Heart is tattooed on my sleeve
I'm not hiding
No
It only hurts to breathe

My Heart is tattooed on my sleeve
I know it's blinding
No
It only hurts to breathe
Standing now and alone
I need answers tell me everything you know
So heavy is the night
Exhausted
Whispers tend to crucify my mind
I'm fighting but I'm blind

Can you fix what's made to be broken
I can't fix what's made to be

My Heart is tattooed on my sleeve
I'm not hiding
No
It only hurts to breathe

My Heart is tattooed on my sleeve
I know it's blinding
No
It only hurts,
It only hurts,
It only hurts to breathe
I shout out
Can you hear me?
Mistakes have cost me years
Do they cost you?
Are you like me?
Tell me - please...

My Heart is tattooed on my sleeve
I'm not hiding
No
It only hurts to breathe

My Heart is tattooed on my sleeve
I know it's blinding
No
It only hurts,
It only hurts,
It only hurts to breathe

Got your freedom now boy
Who do you serve
Took for granted what you, should have preserved
No time left, no time left, to make amends
Keep burning bridges while you're buying your new friends
A day of reflection hits, you're a shell, skin and bones, counting costs
Is it worth your soul
A day of reflection hits

It's funny how times can change, rearrange and distance makes
The pain fade away
So important then, doesn't matter now
Both feet on the ground
Come full circle, yeah, come full circle

No access granted now boy, you've been denied
Jump a fence to see what's on the other side
Are you wanted, are you wanted
The question is, could second chances mean another impression
A day of reflection hits, your you're a shell, skin and bones, counting costs
Is it worth your soul
A day of reflection hits

It's funny how times can change, rearrange, and distance makes
The pain fade away
So important then, doesn't matter now
Both feet on the ground
Come full circle, we've come full circle

I got one foot stuck in heaven, yeah
One boot stuck in hell
I looked at God, he winked at me
I made this mess myself
Don't be surprised and don't deny
Hear every word I say
Close the door and don't look back or you will fade away

It's funny how times can change, rearrange and distance makes
The pain fade away

It's funny how times can change, rearrange and distance makes
The pain fade away
So important then, doesn't matter now
Both feet on the ground
Come full circle, full circle, come full circle
We have come, full circle

I can't explain
Can't quite put my finger on it
The difference that meets us forgets us
We've said everything
Our words only betrayed
Nothing is left northing was left unsaid

This time I have nothing left to lose
I'm stuck the second hand won't move
Its about time I speak my mind
Its about time, about to find pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
In time your no friend of mine
In time your no friend of mine

You cover yourself you cover your skin
Your cover yourself like you cover your sins
Please untie my hands
I'm a sinner, I'm a man
I ask for one minute to make you understand

This time I have nothing left to lose
I'm stuck the second hand won't move
Its about time I speak my mind
Its about time, about to find pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
In time your no friend of mine
In time your no friend of mine

Will you be there
To catch when I stumble when I fall
When I fall
Its so very clear
You left me when I had no one at all
No one at all

Who will be there
To catch me, to catch me when I stumble
When I fall, when I fall
Its so very clear
You left me with no one at all
No one at all

This time I have nothing left to lose
I'm stuck the second hand won't move
Its about time I speak my mind
Its about time, about to find pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
In time your no friend of mine
In time your no friend of mine

No friend of mine
In time your no friend of mine
No friend of mine
In time your no friend of mine
In time your no friend of mine

The pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on

In time
In time your no friend of mine

I give my all my everything
Anything you want I've tried to be
I tried, god knows I tried
Or am I stuck somewhere between
Who I am and who I hope to be
Am I fighting the good fight

Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong
Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong

I've come so far to fall too fast
As for? I can't look back I try
God knows I try
I shift my eyes to the sky
In the distance see the horizon line
She waits for me
Fighting the good fight

Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong
Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong

I give my all my everything
Anything you want I strive to be
Am I stuck somewhere between
Who I am and who I hope to be
Fighting, I'm fighting
Fighting the good fight
Am I stuck somewhere in between
Who I am and who I hope to be

Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong
Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong

Remember that
Sometimes I fall in between
The nights blue moon and the shadows
Fight on, Fight the good fight
What you know is wrong
I'll keep fighting
Fight on, keep fighting the good fight
Fight on, fight on

Woke up and had a face to face
Guess my reflection had a lot to say
Why let my worries steal my day
It just brings me down

Does the song you sing
Had it lost meaning
Inspire us to sing along
Does the song you sing
Keep echoing
Inspire us to sing the song you sing

What's wrong with the world today
Tell me what's all the talk about
Lately i've been in a real bad place
Can't let the world bring me down

Does the song you sing
Had it lost meaning
Inspire us to sing along
Does the song you sing keep echoing
Inspire us to sing the song you sing

I hope (I hope)
The words I wrote (the words I wrote)
Keep calling out (keep calling out)
Keep calling out (keep calling out)
Forever (forever) let them sing (let them sing)
That song you sing, that song you sing

I hope (I hope)
The words I wrote (the words I wrote)
Keep calling out (keep calling out)
Keep calling out (keep calling out)
Forever (forever) let them ring (let them ring)
Hear them echoing, hear them echoing

Does the song you sing
Have it lost meaning
Inspire us to sing along
Does the song you sing keep echoing
Inspire us to sing the song you sing

The song you sing the song you sing
It's the song you sing, it's the life you bring

It's why I sing the song you sing

Silent teacher hold my hand
And lead me to the promised land
Silent Teacher, please define
This ordinary life won't bring me to find it
Me to find it

I want to live with my head in the clouds
I want to stumble when I walk to find light
Can you tell me which way to go?
So I can bury him in all of my mind

Silent teacher - promise me

Silent teacher - promise me
This ordinary life won't bring me to find it
Me to find it

I want to live with my head in the clouds
I want to stumble when I walk to find light
Can you tell me which way to go?
So I can bury him in all of my mind

Can we save everyone?
Or do we wait until the damage is done?
Can we save everyone?
Or do we wait until the damage is done?

I want to live with my head in the clouds
I want to stumble when I walk to find light
Can you tell me which way to go?
So I can bury him in all of my mind
I want to live with my head in the clouds
I want to stumble when I walk to find light
And can you tell me which way to go?
So I can bury him in all of my mind

Can we save everyone?
Or do we wait until the damage is done?
Can we save everyone?
Or do we wait until the damage is done?
