Go runaway in distress trying
To hide from what's
Creeping and crawling and stabbing
Within try to deny the turmoil inside
If you find yourself far enough you'll never win
In the ounce of serenity
I will come home be pissed (I will come home be pissed)
Cant leave you weeping on the phone
Gasping for breath (I am gasping for breath)
To be left on the floor gasping for breath!

Chorus
No he's not the person you are
Or the person your trying trying trying trying to be
Don't let the outside swing to far from where you want to be

We are heading for moments of this
You can roll with the best
Where's your body so brutally pressed
Against the confineds of your dead flesh
And if you close your eyes tight enough
Then none of the bad can get in x2
And if you close your eyes tight enough
Then none of the light can get in
You scream as the light hits you
And radiates upon your whole soul
The pain is burning and cleanes anything
It still fucking hurts and your still fucking down
That you are still alone
That you are still in control
Dont know where to go
The day were all dead
Underground'back took a chance to out live your past
Where you will be free x2

Chorus x2

. . .



You should of ran for days
You embrace you betray
What's left to say your set to shame
But when you ran you tripped and fell on a path
That led you straight to hell!
This is the salt in your wounds
This is why I told you so

if you knew what I know
Would you move like you do
With my lists of discontent
Yeah! what about my pain to destroy
But did you have a reason why

Chorus
Here's to lowering caskets of old friends
Choice they got so close and birth the new day
With the death of an old and
(start over)
Here's to burying hatchets in those who
You never call your friends
And birth the new day with the death of an old and
(start over)

Can you breath in reach and let it out
Thee evil inside I see the new world tonight!
With every venomous move I will suck you up and spit you
Get out of my life get out of my sight!

Chorus

You let yourself get carried away
Dont act like your ashamed
You let yourself get carried away
By your hand now set the blame
You let yourself get carried away
Bury this one you wont waste
And now its time to see
What you don't mean to me

Chorus

. . .



When we danced so preceded
Laid deep in simples deep in hate i see your face
I see your face and it tears me tears me up
My mouth is full of love my head is held in shame

Chorus
When you kiss me
Do you still taste or
Are you thinking of are you thinking of me
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name x2

Hold your breath to keep in
Trapped with secrets
Til you die to come through with guilt
So your blood is filled
When I see the blood worth coming
Would I check out the blood
Even if I was dead
You would never be on the fucking top

Chorus

Can you take it while i fake it x2

(solo)

Cross your heart, false your heart x2

Chorus

Cross your heart, false your heart x2

. . .



He bends and he breaks
If you kiss, it will take away
His passion, his pain, his brain

He exhales,
A thousand black flowers explode
into butterflies as they're away...

Rip them, I'll take them,
Burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing...
that resembles a soul of a man
(See him numb, see him crushed)
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing...
that resembles a soul of a man
(Leave him numb, Leave him crushed)
Leave him numb, leave him crushed

Took the fire inside
One too many times
His burning's over and out now,
He fails,
Up against the raging tides,
No more fights,
Everything you ever wanted to see,
I see it in his eyes,
One more time, one more time

I Don't dare to test the waters,
My hands feel like they're rusting away,
So obvious, so numb, I can leave before the slaughter
I'll stay here, as long as you let me,
Decisions, then, made obvious and while they're in tune,
Where I started, I'll stay there,
When I'm finished,
I'll wither away...

Rip them, I'll take them,
Burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing...
that resembles a soul of a man
(See him numb, see him crushed)
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing...
that resembles a soul of a man
(Leave him numb, Leave him crushed)
Leave him numb, leave him crushed

. . .



I'll watch the sun go down this fall
And watch the night rain please don't be casual
What's in my soul are always the first to go
So this is for me and my boys
Were always way apart
To kick and scream
To be the ones you hate to know
I could never turn my back
Because this is who I know
(you know all that isn't true)
When you only have
In a world that corrupts
Our struggling soul
(you know all that isn't true)

Chorus
If you plead don't do it twice
I've still got something to say here
I wont bend my heart in two ways fills my soul
If honesty has a price
Then I wont fucking pay it
We will take our dreams straight to the grave

Choke on this and on my words
And on us and my honesty
Then suffer consequence
Because I see the ambulance
The beauty of held in my eyes
If only for seconds
What will never take away
When we are built together
With our hands, with our hearts,
With our minds

Chorus

(solo)

If this is just in our heads
Then we'll keep on living a perfect life
One day at a time
God bless our cheating hearts and damn your lies

If this is just in our heads
Then we'll keep on living a perfect life
One day at a time
God bless us

Chorus

. . .



You took me home
I drank to much
Cause of you my liver turns to dust
Cold rust takes cold creeping cool pain
Do you understand what I need?
When you feel your soul drop to the floor
Like a hole, like an open bleeding sore
Then you'll have bled like I've bled
Then you'll have wept as I've wept

Chorus:
Suck me down, it's time to rock and roll
Lets hit the bar, lets lose control
One false move, you took me home
One false move, you're all alone

But it looks so good and it feels so nice
I've paid my price
I'll cut you out just to hear you scream,
Get away from, get away, from me
And I can feel my heart beat racing
As I realize what I must do
Get away from...
Get away from...
Get away from you

Should've turned around like you
Last time I got a taste of you
I should've turned around like you
And I say we're through
[x2]

{Instrumental Solo}

You haunt me like a plague
Weakness, we've worked at
But I degress
After all this...
You're just like all the rest

(Chorus)

. . .



From my own eye I have been burning down bridges
My only problem was forcing I was stabbed and carved out
I never looked down and now I lay deep in your bullshit
If your ready for a battle then I'm ready for a war
So we can dance to see what lies
How easily we're deceived
How easily we will lead

Oh no I'm out of ammo
Your bullet buried in my head
For everyday is another slug
I will pour them out of my chest x2

Chorus
So raise your voices
And hold your hopes up high
Tell your stories run your mouth and tell your lies

After all this time don't wash my blood off of your hands
Any crack can see you so the out sucking mixing in
What does it make you the fucking
Just to fucked up to pull yourself up
Are those your always pulling down

Chorus x2

You've cursed my name burned down my house
As I let my soul you gas your town
And I can live without

Your passing judgement the sun eclipses
The feeling is though I can not see you've had your chances x2

Chorus x2

Close my eyes curse my name x2
Fuck!

. . .



So here, we are again
The same fork in the road
I hate you. You love me
This stories getting old
The day I opened up
You shut me out for good
Fuck it, fuck it, fuck you
You are a liar and a whore

So take what you want and leave
You'll never get another part of

I remember the day that
I thought I would be free
I'm pouring my soul to you
Expose everything
I'm taking out
My hearts broke
I am lost in shame
I'll take my bastard drink
Go away

So take what you want and leave
You'll never get another part of

You poison all men's lips
Lonely by the curse of your hips
Come here boy, stand by me
Look my way and have another try

I should have got up
I should have got up and left you

And I will never be you're lover again
As far as I'm concerned, we are not even friends
This is may all not to suttle to you
The point I'm trying to make is we are completely through
So take what you want and leave
You'll never get another part of

You poison all men's lips
Lonely by the curse of your hips
Come here boy, stand by me
Look my way and have another, try

. . .



Chorus
You put a bullet in my head
Turned black thoughts to red
This could all end in tragedy

I dream of you dead laid you dead to rest
I wont look back in for memory

But don't rush us out like I sold you
Are you a killer and I think I know its you
I was deep in that night I know its taking this
So hurry up to figure you out to insult'
Your glass kept from falling down
One time from your good times
I'm not interested in working this out

Chorus

And that's what you are
I said blasterd fucking mess
Fuck off to be without you
Die in use to burn just bury
Any part because the walk on my hand
Not even not even kick you when your down
Though you wanted something because you
Are living the lonely star
But this is the part where I say goodbye!
(and let the scent of time)
Pull over us say goodbye!
And let the scent of time pull over us

You never had to crawl
You never had to say what it feels like
To be so trapped underneath
The weight of someone's world comes crashing down on me
I was longing to be free iv left a burden in you and me

This is my farwell to you and i
This will all end in tragedy x4

(oooh this will all end in tragedy)x4

(this will all end in tragedy)x4
