Lostprophets Album

[No lyrics]

Got it all to hide, got it figured out
Wanna do whatever, laugh until September
And I seem to think, that you were once here with me
Maybe I was wrong, you were moving on

[chorus:]
And I sit and wonder, fallin' under
Get my way or nothing will move on
Everyone has gone...
You feel so empty, but I've got me a friend
And I like it at home

And I know you say, I can't care for someone
But are you that clever, that you smile forever?
Is it summer yet? Cause I just don't feel it
Maybe it's a treaty, maybe you are not her

[chorus]

Say now, got it, for me

[chorus:]
Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
If that was true I'd have fallen apart by now
The more you think the less you act their way
So can you hear this? The fake sound of progress

Never reason with a fool, but is that unkind?
Looks like I've lost my mind once again
I know it all sounds so contrived, but it's got to me
You know I've got to be more than this

[bridge:]
Don't fret, don't scorn, 'cause I walk a different street to you
You look so worn, I bet that life has got your blown
But it will never get to me

[chorus]

And I feel the way you hold, hold me back from this
Chances that I've missed, now they're gone
Apathy is all I sense, the feeling's too intense
Sittin' on the fence, can't decide

[bridge]

[chorus]

All these words that I accounted for
Never fear another day
All these choices I need more
Make me take away
Tell me now can you hear the sound?
Of all these people falling down
Grow me back into the ground
Make me smile again

Swing it!

It sounds like
(da da da da da da da da) (repeat in background)

All these words that I accounted for
Never fear another day
All these choices I want more
Make me take away
All these words that I accounted for
I'll never fear another day
It makes me take away

[chorus]

Make me smile again (the fake sound of progress)
Make me smile again, yeah (the fake sound of progress)
Make me smile again (the fake sound of progress)

[No lyrics]

[bridge:]
If you thought that I was leaving here
Could I find a way inside
Try to call it just an absence of faith
But I feel justified

You can't stare through this
There's nothing left in my heart
But for now, just too long
There's no end in sight

[chorus:]
What am I for, to be hurt more?
I just don't like you in yourself
I can't like you, want to burn you
I wish you were dead
'Cause if it's hard you run
Now it's no fun, got left with everything
Behind your smile, forget that I was left with everything
Never the same to me (x3)
Never the same

It's never the same

Once you played up to the end
Stop the noise, get nowhere with your current state of mind
I even wonder why you're here please stay at home
Killing my laughter, hurting my insides
You're a plague

[chorus]

[bridge]

If it's hard you run
Now it's no fun, got left with everything
Behind your smile, forget that I was left with everything
Never the same to me (x3)

And to it all, falling down
Losin' touch with everyone who ever stood their ground
If you could then I know I do too
Lost inside a maze of problems with you

[chorus:]
Is it so hard?
Everytime I say, won't you come and fight with me?
Because if I thought I'd win you
Every word I say would come out wrong and make you look the other way
You know if I thought I'd win you, time and time again
And if I did we won't be friends

And tell me I'm brought down again
Never the one I'd explain

Can't you, ohhh, don't you lie
There've been times when I've felt good because you hurt inside
Know that's not true, I'm just acting tough
I don't know what it is I'm feeling, I don't know if you are enough

[chorus]

And tell me I'd fall down again
Never the one I'd explain

So answer that you never know
Don't want it back it seems to go
It's so hard, so hard

'Cause I feel alive and it feels alright
Keep on telling me that its over please
And I feel the one (could I, should I, would I) (loops continuously in
background until end, fades out)
Lying in the sun
It's so hot in here, it's the clothes I wear
Don't you even ask, I won't let you pass
But my guard is up, and you stole his care

[No lyrics]

Say goodbye to you, but it always dies
It's taken it back to diggin' a hole
So whatcha gonna do now, but you've got 'til sundown
Don't look too good, don't look too bright
Got it all but wanna fight
So how you gonna feel now, but you've got till sundown
Step in the car it's time to go
You want it back, you fell off track
A thousand knives left in my back
Protecting me, such an irony
And I told you once I'd never leave
And all I do and all I see are true

So tell me why it all revolves around you (I got it x6)
And I know in time what I must do (I got it x6)
Now I know it's time for us to fade
Say what's awful, want it all today now

Say what's wrong with you
Got too much on your mind
And you just don't know where you're going
So how you gonna feel now, but you've got 'til sundown
Don't look too good, don't look too bright
Got it all and wanna fight
So how you gonna feel now, but you've got 'til sundown
Step in the car it's time to go
You want it back, you still attack
A thousand knives left in my back
Protecting me, such an irony
And I told you once I'd never leave
And all I do, and all I see are true

So tell me why it all revolves around you (I got it x6)
And in time I know what I must do (I got it x6)
Now I know it's time for us to fade
Say what's awful, want it all today now

Write to someone, let the subject burn
If it's slow for my reply then ignore the wait
But as long as you want everything
And as long as you won't ever do
Return, return, return to you

[chorus:]
Point the blame, push the blame, who's to blame today?
Point your finger, lose your mind, all you do is play
Look out, get down, fall out, your masquerade will do
But in time my friend we all will see right through.

Inside won't be here to stay
King for a day, that's all I'll say

Such a party bum, you should know that right away
Let the subject burn, and wish that all the fucking time
(indecipherable freestyling)

[chorus]

Yes, in time, won't be here to stay
King for a day, that's all I'll say

But here, thought I got a home
Said I've got a home
Got a home (x3)
And I...

[No lyrics]

Supreme!
Funds come my way
Lose it all, but it was nothing anyway
What's done is done, and I know I'll be safe
In time you will see (so beautiful)
Gotta set me free

[chorus:]
And you're all very proud
When there's nothing left to steal
And I feel, so real, and it scares me
And have I ever asked for more?

Betrayed!
My plan ends a war with me
It's never up to me
I know they'll all pray
How far kid?
'Cause from here it looks like a long way down and I can't climb back up (like a
slow crawl)
That's keeping me from you

[chorus]

Was I that insecure?

Can't you stick out your fists, can't you push it out some more, yeah (x2)

I know its all in there but I can't see
I can't see that far

Ultimatum time, now what's it gonna be?

Something, something's wrong, something's wrong, something's very wrong

Please can I have more time?

Come take a look, because all this could mean that I
Don't really care who ends up getting hurt
Please take a look, if it's judgment versus instinct
How do I feel when my feelings don't even work?

Know that I believe, 'cause I can see it in your smile
Life stood still for me, when you called

Said I, answer me this
Yes all I have is questions
You can't slip away and hide behind a false truth
Time takes too long
Just seems like I'm still standing here now
And I can't even feel the rain that hits my shores

Know that I believe, 'cause I can see it in your eyes
Time stood still for me, when you called

[chorus:]
I'm still waiting, I still breathe
That's a sign that I'm still me
I'm still breathing I can see
So I must be alive for real

When will I get there, I should be here by now
Got it all worked out
Did I see you laughing?
Yeah funny, it's not me

In time all I want is in a way
Get too long and now it's gone
It's gone

[chorus]

So I must be alive for real
Yeah I must be alive for real
I must be alive for real

[No lyrics]

If I could walk a thousand miles a day, I'd try
To do it 'cause I don't know if you really say
I think I saw the sky tonight, pushing through it feels alright
And I just don't know who I wanna be

And every time I see your face I laugh out loud
Acting hot your fitting in with all the crowd
And if I could I'd stop the time
Ask you for a clever line
Just because I know you won't give it to me

[chorus:]
It's raining hard again here now
That'll never change
Let's start a war
So who's to blame?
When it ends it starts to rain down

At times I think that all I need is summer sun
Burning in my eyes and breaking through the trees
At times I feel my place is empty
It looks as though I never met me
But my smile does only show one side of me

And I can show you a little slice of everyone
Laughing in the dark I think you're having fun
The sunlight in your face that time
Washes away all the grime
Makes me forget just how much I hate you tonight

[chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah (x2)

Let's start a war
So who's to blame?
When it ends it starts to rain
Starts to rain (x3)

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes I fear your words, but I do not hear them
Don't you think it's strange that time will not support my cause?
Why not, answer

Yes I thought of you, it all comes too easily
How come I don't see the world like you?
Have I got my eyes closed? I don't think so

And now I see the world and it's all I can believe
Smiles stand still on your face, but it's not too late for me
Here I stand, and I laugh when I see the world you're in
Smiles stand still on your face, but its not too late for me

Now it's gone, can we start again, start anew?
Will it follow us back down?
Can it go through life without a frown? Oh no

And now I see the world and it's all I can believe
Smiles stand still on your face, but it's not too late for me
Here I stand, and I laugh when I see the world you're in

Got to sail high and bail out
You are falling, it pisses down
And it always pisses down
But it's alright now

Sit down, my son
I told you that my time is out
And I'm falling down, got it all worked out
Now I said to you that you would

But if it ever came down to one day
One day left in a thousand
The last good times of summer
And the last few minutes of warmth
Remember what it was like to enjoy our time
Before we all go back to school and learn
Before our eyes turn grey again
And we forget what it was ever like to feel awake, to feel awake

So is this why I feel so cold?
There's too much panic I've been told
And every time I show I see the way it used to go
I need to see that every year
But not to hear it so clear, so clear

The nights were so much harder then
We all hung out and made amends
It's like you can't go back, but hearing that just makes me want to
Call my friends and tell them that I'm coming home

Feeling it all, singing it all (loops continuously in background through next
verse)

The nights were so much harder then
We all hung out and made amends
It's like you can't go back, but knowing that just makes me want to
Call my friends and tell them that I'm coming home

[No lyrics]

So pick me up off the floor,
You will not see the town like me,
I wont ask you again if this is real,
Cos I'm walking out that door, I'll leave,
Always behind the war I know,
Cos decisions have never been my strong point,
But I dont know what I want, Still the road is dark.
In all this time I've had,
I've seen the face behind those eyes.
Is it starting again,
In every town its the same (all these stories),
Runs like a clock and around we go,
Like some twisted carnival ringmaster pointing at me,
Telling me that I'll never make it,
But how the hell would he know,
When he dresses like a tramp and looks like shit,
When alls been said and done,
I'll still be hear having no fun.
In all this time I've had,
I've seen the face behind those eyes.
Oh tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.So whos idea was this,
You know I dont like really like the dark that much,
Its insane, the more, take the blame,
Admit defeat and swallow your pride,
Take a ride to the dark side.
I dont know what you say and I dont mean to sound blasé.
In all this time I've had,
I've seen the face behind those...
In all this time I've had,
I've seen the face behind those eyes.
