You never wanted me to say I've become a simulated actor,
So write this all down, my friend, yeah.
You never wanted me to say I've become an educated
chanter, sit this one out, my friend.
My halo entertains something, but an educated answer?
You'll be the last to know.
You'll never find out, you'll never find my...

Crazy love, crazy love,
Nothing more than mine,

You never wanted me to say I've become a simulated actor,
Leave it alone, my friend.
My halo entertains nothing but an educated answer
You'll be the last one here.
You'll never find out, you'll never find my...

Crazy love, crazy love,
Nothing more than mine, oh mine...

Are you waking up the dead?
Tell me how long til this ends.
Are you ready to live again?
And the black sheets that you tore,
Had me begging you for more.
Are you ready to live again?

Crazy love, crazy love,
Nothing more than, mine, oh...
Crazy love,(You never wanted me to say)
Crazy love,(You never wanted...)
Nothing more than mine, oh mine.

. . .


My belly aches from you
And the countless times that I try to relate to you
Knowing that I bit off more than I can chew
My mouth is full of words that taste as bad as you
Swallowing my tongue sounds like the best in store for me
It's got to be for me

So long see you in good time
This is my goodbye
This is my farewell (x2)

I love again
I love again

Hey here's the second part
The charge is set and I don't wanna wait around to see what happens next
It's too late I said this charge is set
The fuse is lit and I don't wanna wait around
Running outta time
If I were you I'd run as fast as hell

So long see you in good time
This is my goodbye
This is my farewell (x2)

I love again
I love again

Gather your troops, we're going to war
I need an army to save you from yourself.
I've been blacklisted here, but I'm coming back this winter.
Now I know I've got to give.
I'm a stranger beating heart and hand
I've been blacklisted here, but I'm coming back this winter.

When you see rain,
Will you still say that you'll always be there,
Say that you'll always be there in the end,
When I come down.

Here as I wait, I'm getting bored.
You're the one thing tearing me apart.
I've been blacklisted here, but I'll be the last man standing.
Now I know it's got to be,
You've got it all worked out in your head.
I've been blacklisted here, but I'll be the last man standing.

When you see rain,
Will you still say that you'll always be there,
Say that you'll always be there in the end,
When I come down,
You got to lever it down.

Gather your troops, we're going to war
I need an army to save you from yourself.
I've been blacklisted here, but I'll be the last man standing.

When you see rain,
Will you still say you've had enough of me,
Say that you'll always be there 'til the end,
When I come down.
You got to lever it now,
You're like a thorn in my eye,
So to you it's goodbye.

. . .


For arguments sake
Let's say that we did
Tell me, what would you want
With just one wish?
One a rocket ride tonight
We could chase the stars
Just you and I together
Getting high

You take my breath away again
You take my breath away again
Oh

For arguments sake
Let's say that we will
Tell me, what would you give
For just one kiss?
Lost love will always say
What you don't wanna hear
But you and I together
Sounds like bliss

You take my breath away again
You take my breath away again
You take my breath away again
You take my breath away again

You take my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath

You take my breath
You take my breath
You take my breath
You take my breath

For arguments sake
Let's say that we did
And at the end of our ride
I promise this

It's the highs and lows that cause the rise and fall
But you and I get higher every time

You take my breath away again
You take my breath away again
You take my breath away again
You take my breath away
Oh

. . .


And how long has it been
Did I forget to lay it down too

Stroke out in a motel
I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall
I got so much headache
I can't get you out of my mind

In the hardest times
when I had to call on you
For just a little
when I cry I don't mind if you leave me alone

You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside

And how long have you known
that I forgot to lay you down too
Too much sun milk and honey
is that all that i really got?
I had so much money but not enough sense to make change

In the hardest times
when I had to call on you
For just a little
when I cry I don't mind if you leave me when you leave me

You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
Yeah

How about this
Entertaining myself
on such a selfish wish

I can't break this way though
I can't be this way though
And I feel like the same
Are you feeling the same?

Hey now
I'm a poor man
I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall
I got so much headache
I can't get you out of my mind

In the hardest times
when I had to call on you
For just a little
When I cry I don't mind if you leave me
when you leave me

You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside

You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the way

. . .


I send this message out
That's enough
I'm afraid of you
For the first time
And my body says
Not enough
I'm alone with you
For the last time

You're so soothing
Still I feel I got to run away with this love
I cannot give in
You're so soothing
Still I feel I got to take it all the way now
All the way down

Take a second now
Lay it straight
Gotta get it right
Or I'll lose you
And my temper sways
Near enough to be you
In and out of control
As I lose my grip

You're so soothing like rain
You're so soothing like rain

Feel this love slip away
I feel this love slip away

Feel this love
Feel this love slip away
I feel this love
I feel this love slip away
Feel this love
Feel this love slip away
I feel this love
I feel this love slip away

Feel this love slip away
Feel this love from the grave
I feel this love slip away
I feel this love from the grave

You're so soothing like rain
You're so soothing like rain
You're so soothing like rain
You're so soothing

Here we are, making jokes about,
The punchline, something for me to talk about.
So who are you, and what am I?

I see your face and it's growing older,
Your cracked smile, who knows what they'll say,
Or what it means, that's how it is.

So, save yourself the last breath.
Save yourself a brand new day,
Are you down here?
Are you with me?

I'll get out, I'll get out of here,
It's just a simple plan,
I thought I made you mine.
I'll get out, I'll get out of here,
It's just a simple thought,
How could I make it work?

I'll get out, I'll get out of here,
It's just a simple plan,
I thought I made you mine.
I'll get out, I'll get out of here.

Here we are, making jokes about,
The front line, something for me to bitch about,
So who are you, and what am I?
I caught a glimpse of a new day breaking,
The sunshine, who blame me for the weather?
With such solitude inside.

So, save yourself the last breath.
Save yourself a brand new day,
Are you down here?
Are you with me?

I'll get out, I'll get out of here,
It's just a simple plan,
I thought I made you mine.
I'll get out, I'll get out of here,
It's just a simple thought,
How could I make it work?

I'll get out, I'll get out of here,
It's just a simple plan,
I thought I made you mine.
I'll get out, I'll get out of here.

We both weave along,
We both weave along,
We both weave along,
We both we belong here,

I'll get out, I'll get out of here,
It's just a simple plan,
I thought I made you mine.
I'll get out, I'll get out of here,
It's just a simple thought,
How could I make it work?

I'll get out, I'll get out of here,
It's just a simple plan,
And you were never mine.
I'll get out, I'll get out of here, I'll..

. . .


Come on, buy me another,
I can't, I can't beat it,
Send me another relist,
Get it on,
Taste it another,
I can't, I can't beat it,
Sell me another,
I can't get it off this wishlist,

Come on roll me another,
I can't, I can't beat it,
Lie me another relist,
Get it on,
Fix me another,
I can't, I can't beat it,
Blow me another, and write it on your list.

Let's go,
Hey I'm still standing alone,
Yeah I know, but I don't think you think so,
And I'm ready to give in, tonight,
Yeah I know, but I don't think you think so,
You're such a fake.

Come on, buy me another,
I can't, I can't beat it,
Send me another relist,
Get it on,
Taste it another,
I can't, I can't beat it,
Sell me another,
I can't get it off this wishlist,
See me drown here,
What you say, kid?
I'm your best friend.

Let's go,
Hey I'm still standing alone,
Yeah I know, but I don't think you think so,
And I'm ready to give in, tonight,
Yeah I know, but I don't think you think so,
You're such a fake.

Hey man,
Come on now,
I said hey man,
Come on now,
Pick another,
Hey man,
Come on now,
I said hey man,
Come on man,
Pick another,
Hey man,
Come on now,
I said hey man,
Come on man,
Pick another,
Hey man,
Come on now,
I said hey man,
Come on man,
Pick another.

Head up
Head up high

Get up
Get outside
Get up
Get outside

Rest here my brother
See what they left you to find
Rest here my brother
See what they left you inside now

They don't listen
Hold my breath as I rise
They don't listen
Hold my beath 'till I die

Get up
Get outside
Get up
Get outside

Now you know why

Rest here my brother
See what they left you to find
Rest here my brother
See what they left you inside now

They don't listen
Hold my breath as I rise
They don't listen
Hold my beath 'till I die
Once and for all

Get up
Get outside
Get up
Get outside

. . .


This rhythm rhyme you beat at me
Through angel eyes it's too hard to see
I cant believe I'm all alone in this room
You wage war on me now

This rhythm rhyme it's too much to bear
Through angel eyes I'm alone in this stare
I cant believe I got addicted to you
You wage war on me now

Are you sure you're alive?
Are you sure you can make this feel right?
Are you breathing for me?
Give me some sign you'll wait for me now
My child

I read the paper man, Imma tearing back another page
You got the best of this, now I'm carving my own way
Am I still supposed to feel, is this still supposed to feel?
You wage war on me now

Are you sure you're alive?
Are you sure you can make this feel right?
Are you breathing for me?
Give me some sign you'll wage war this time

Sell it to me, sell it to me
Sell it to me and I will never reply
Sell it to me, sell it to me
Sell it to me and I will never reply
Give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me and I will never reply
Sell it to me, sell it to me
Sell it to me, you better

Are you sure you're alive?
Are you sure you can make this feel right?
Are you breathing for me?
Give me some sign you'll wait this time
