I will forgive but I won't forget
And I hope you know you've lost my respect

You better watch out
If you don't know whats going on around you
You better think twice
Before you fry off the handle and lose it
You better join us
Before you get lost in the shuffle
You better rise against
The demons that are gonna try and hold you down

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
The ones you love, the ones you love, the ones you love

Cause I'm not a pawn for you to play in your fucking game
I've got dignity and I dream that I want to change
The pressure, your troubled and you let me down
I'm not deaf and all I hear is your empty promises

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
The ones you love, the ones you love, the ones you love

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?

I will forgive but I won't forget
And I hope you know you've lost my respect

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?

I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore
No I'm not listening, not anymore, No

Cause You gotta be bigger, be faster, be stronger
if your gonna survive any longer
in this lifetime, it better be the right time
the first time might be your last time
am I a failure if I got nothing to lose
No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove

Chorus:
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore

Cause I've lost my innocence
and I'm a stranger, A life changer
I'm a man thats not afraid of danger
I walk my own path, and blaze my own trail
because I'm not afraid to derail
I won't get in line or be a middle man
so fuck you I'll make my own plan
and I got respect and I dont neglect
the people that are here who came to protect
am I a failure if I got nothing to lose
No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove

Chorus

I told you before, wont listen anymore
I told you before, lets settle the score
I told you before, wont listen anymore
I told you before, lets settle the score

If not them then who?
If not now then when?

Chorus

I told you before, wont listen anymore
I told you before, lets settle the score
I told you before, wont listen anymore
I told you before, lets settle the score

Set it off right now
Blow it up, set it off
Fuck it up, set it off

. . .



Hit or miss, fuck a fight
It's time to live your life
Go ahead, I know I'm right
I'm gonna lay it on the line
Put yourself in my shoes
Would you stand up for your rights
Line em up and knock em down
I'm not running scared tonight

Chorus:
I have found these walls before
and I'm not scared anymore
theres a time to lead and to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
I found these walls before (these walls)
theres a time to lead and to follow (these walls)

I see the walls closing in
And I feel like I'm in danger
My enemy is not alone
In the mirror, theres a stranger
As I tried to break out
My panic led to fear
Hopeless, I am alone
I'm afraid the end is near

The truth doesn't always have to hurt

Chorus

Stop looking
Stop seeing NOW
Right Now x2

The truth doesn't always have to hurt


. . .


Take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

Chorus:
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

I lit my pain on fire
and I watched it all burn down
Now I'm dancing in the ashes
and theres no one else around
Cause I wanna be apart of something
This is just a story of a broken soul

Hook:
As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by

Chorus x2

I'm burning in the heavens
and I'm drowning in the hell
My souls in a coma
and none of my friends can tell
I'm reaching out of getting something
This is just a story of a broken soul

Hook
Chorus x2

Don't shut me out

Does anyone around me feel the same
Just put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain

Hook
Chorus x2
Hook

Take Me

. . .



Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
what creates my own madness
and I'm addicted to your punishment
and you're the master
and I am waiting for disaster

Chorus-
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
getting away with murder
it isn't possible
to ever tell the truth
but the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, Getting away, Getting away)

I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back cause I don't even want to
and I don't need to
because I'm getting away with murder


. . .



Woke up and I feel like shit
I don't remember last night, I'm getting sick of this
I hit the bottle when I got off stage
and got piss drunk stupid and went in a rage
I think I mighta got into a fight
Because my knuckles were bloody and I don't feel alright
I hit the bottom and I don't even care
Some say I'm going to hell but I'm already hell

Pre-Chorus:
Sick and tired of being sick and tired

Chorus:
I wanna be free from this ball and chain and
Be free from this life of pain and
be free from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you

Now I'm full of guilt and shame
I can't point a finger cause theres no one to blame
So I say I'll never do it again
But when the sun goes down, you are my only friend
I'm thinking I am starting to see
I have become everything I didn't want to be
I'm really getting sick of myself
Cause when I look into the mirror, I see somebody else

Pre-Chorus
Chorus x2

Sick and tired of being sick and tired
So sick and tired of being sick and tired
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
So sick and tired of being sick and tired


. . .



I count the days that we have spent apart
I've gotta a bad liver and a broken heart
Theres no salvation in the culprit of you
I finally realized your tearing me apart

Chorus:
So help me, save me, tell me that you end this here
Help me, save me, tell me that you end this here
I am done with you

You make my life completely miserable
You told me to be educosmic of this pain
But I've always loved you cause your oh so special
I'm broken and I'm alone and I can't maintain

Chorus

Done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (you, done with you)

I count the days that we have spent apart
I've gotta a bad liver and a broken heart

Chorus


. . .



Chorus:
I tear my heart open, I sow myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
My scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down
and I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
and I can't help to fix myself
Your making me insane
All I can say is

Chorus

I tried to help you once
A kiss will only vise
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That your drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last dance

Chorus

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
and I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever came around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause your drowning in the water
and I tried to grab your hand
and I left my heart open
but you didn't understand
but you didn't understand
You fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life


. . .



I'm dreaming about tomorrow
I'm thinking of yesterday
I consume myself in sorrow
This moment in time is what I betray

But I am searching for the answers

And I look around
Sometimes I get sad

Because I don't know which way to go

And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
Because my life is spinning is out of control

I never know what you want
I never know what you need

It was difference from the start
When you cut me in 2 I never thought I would bleed

But I am searching for the answers
And I look around
Sometimes I get sad

Because I don't know which way to go

And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
Because my life is spinning is out of control

I will call this alone
I don't need nobody's help
I've got to do this myself
Alone alone alone

And I look around
sometimes I get sad

Because I don't know which way to go

And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
Because my life is spinning is out of control

And I look around
sometimes I get sad

Because I don't know which way to go

And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
Because my life is spinning is out of control

. . .



I am awake under this blanket of fear
and I must say, none of the people I see belong here
now everyone's asleep, I am awake and I am dreaming, I believe it's time for a
rude awakening

[Chorus]
So hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality
Hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality

I believe, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself
and the man behind the curtain
I heard him say, "Dreamers have become an endangered species, and I am aware of
the rude awakening

[Chorus]

I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground
I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground, I hit the ground,
because I, I can't keep my mind from going into dark places
because I, I can't keep my mind from going into dark places

[Chorus]

I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground, I'm falling in my dream I
finally hit the ground!

. . .



The media is the seduction of human desire (set their money, set their money, on
fire)
if you try to sell me the truth
then I know you're a liar, a liar

[Chorus]
It's the tyranny of normality, it's the tyranny of normality

Our culture has become complacent
and has no desire (take back, take back our empire)
and the ethical slaughter of truth needs to be retired, retired

[Chorus]

It's the death of outrage!! I want to turn a new page!!
I mourn the death of our age, the obituary's on the front page!!
Since the death of outrage, I want to turn a new page!!
I mourn the death of our age, the obituary's on the front page,
it's the death of outrage, i mourn the death of our age, the obituary's on the
front page

[Chorus]

Today I saw my hero fall apart,
the one who taught me to be strong,
on the outside I look fine,
but on the inside I am dying
my strength has overcome my pain
my love for you remains the same
the loneliness is setting in
I have no one to free my sins

It's never too late to live your life,
the time is now, it's do or die
it's never too late to live your life,
the time is now, it's your to mine

Now it's my time to help you out,
coz you were there when I was down,
it's hard for me to seal this way
losing all your sanity
you helped me, keep my dreams alive ,
without you how would I survive
it's time for me to be a man
now I finally understand

It's never too late to live your life,
the time is now, it's do or die
it's never too late to live your life,
the time is now, it's your to mine

It's never too late to live your life,
the time is now, it's do or die
it's never too late to live your life,
the time is now, it's your to mine

I cant run anymore
I cant hide anymore
I cant run anymore
I cant hide anymore

Today I saw my hero fall apart,
the one who taught me to be strong,
on the outside I look fine,
but on the inside I am dying

It's never too late to live your life,
the time is now, it's do or die
it's never too late to live your life,
the time is now, it's your to mine

It's never too late to live your life,
the time is now, it's do or die
it's never too late to live your life,
the time is now, it's your to mine

It's never too late to live your life,
the time is now, it's do or die
it's never too late to live your life,
the time is now, it's your to mine

I cant run anymore
I cant hide anymore
I cant run anymore
I cant hide anymore

God bless the coffin they carry me off in
God bless the coffin they carry me off in
They carry me off in

I've walked amongst the living dead
And I'm sick of the voices that are in my head
I've taken the ride and I've danced with death
I had nine lives and I've got one left

Cause I've got what you want
You've got that I need
Let's get together and keep me forever
Yeah waaaaaaahh!

I'm harder than a coffin nail
I've been to heaven; I've been to hell
I'm harder than a coffin nail
I've been to heaven; I've been to hell

I never thought I'd need someone's help
(I don't need your help)

'Cause I'll handle it all and do it by myself
(I'll do this by myself)

I'm never alone 'till I hit rock bottom
(I'm not afraid to fall)

I'm so fucking stubborn and so fucking rotten
(Hit the bottom)

Cause I've got what you want
You've got that I need
Let's get together and keep me forever
Yeah waaaaaaahh!

I'm harder than a coffin nail
I've been to heaven; I've been to hell
I'm harder than a coffin nail
I've been to heaven; I've been to hell

God bless the coffin they carry me off in...
God bless the coffin they carry me off in...

Cause I've got what you want
You've got that I need
Let's get together and keep me forever
Yeah waaaaaaahh!

I'm harder than a coffin nail
I've been to heaven; I've been to hell
I'm harder than a coffin nail
I've been to heaven; I've been to hell

God bless the coffin they carry me off in!
God bless the coffin they carry me off in!

I've got passion and a reason,
And I won't neglect my emotions,
Because I wanna spill, spill my guts,
But I don't want to pick them up,
I've got passion, and a reason,
And I won't neglect my emotions,
I'm excited and I'm exploding,
I'm ignited and I'm ready to go off

Rather be caught dead than weak

Cause I'd rather be caught dead, than be weak,
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong,
Cause I'd rather be caught dead, than be weak,
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong,

I wanna spill, spill my guts,
But I don't want to pick them up,
I've got too much pride and desire,
To let this go, I'll walk through fire

I've got passion, and a reason,
And I won't neglect my emotions

Rather be caught dead than weak

Cause I'd rather be caught dead than be weak,
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong,
Cause I'd rather be caught dead than be weak,
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong

I'd rather be caught dead than weak,
Rather be caught dead than weak,

Cause I'd rather be caught dead than be weak,
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong,
Cause I'd rather be caught dead than be weak,
And in my last days I'll still be standing
