Salute the army of hell's hounds
Salute the reasons why
My conscience it wakes me
With fire inside I'll never get out
Ill never make my stand....

And we lie
Awake
I'm not about to listen to them

For I
Can't wait
It's not about me

Stare down the longest line
Of course this is falling apart
You fooled me like a rat trap baited
But I refuse to buy
I'm shell shocked and I've lost my sight
But I can still hear you calling me...

And we lie
Awake
I'm not about to listen to them

For I
Can't wait
I'm not about to listen to

I'm on a highway that leads to the end
I'm on a highway that leads to the end
I'm on a highway that leads to the end
I'm on a highway that leads to the end

These broken bones
This busted smile
My head it hurts I should be leaving now
I hear your words
They call my name
I won't go back, you must be out of your head

You say I'm wrong
You say I'm mad
If I stay here I'll never make it back
I hear your words
They call my name
I won't go back
You must be out of your head
You must be out of your head

. . .


One last kiss
If you are not far between
Assuming it's my first time
Assuming it ought to be

Send me and IOU
I'll send you another chance
To see if you got my back
To see if I can depend on you

Wild eyed boy
Your heart still won't settle
Wild eyed boy
How much can you take?

Say my name
If you truly wanna see
What matters and what's for real
What you should have meant to me

Sing me a lullaby
Sing me a song of change
Assuming that I don't mind
Assuming that I depend on it

Wild eyed boy
Your heart still won't settle
Wild eyed boy
How much can you take?

Wild eyed boy
Your heart still won't settle
Wild eyed boy
How much can you take?

They told you you're no good to any
Tell yourself you're so good to many
Sell your soul your no good to any
How much can you take?

Wild eyed boy
Your heart still won't settle
Wild eyed boy
How much can you take?

Wild eyed boy
Your heart still won't settle
Wild eyed boy
How much can you take?

. . .


Show me what it means
We're all dying to know
Do I take a hit to the heart?
Should I let bleeding words weep?
Silhouette a perfect scene
Flavour of the month is not that new to me
And you can always be never to far from me

Always on the same page
(I'm not sure we are)
Always on the same page

There goes my baby
She's gotta know
She's gotta know
That when the red lights on there's no one at home x2

Pick and pull apart
Leaving me split at the seams
I'm saying if you want blood
You'll never get a drop out of me
What is it you don't understand?
Showing no proof in your plans
Now baby this pain won't end
And this heartache still rises

Always on the same page
(I'm not sure we are)
Always on the same page

There goes my baby
She's gotta know
She's gotta know
That when the red lights on there's no one at home

. . .


I hate my melodies, there all the same
One by one they're driving me insane
So give me accidentel thought in another life
Send me back along my way till I get it right
I hate my melodies, there all the same

And I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta mine

I'm losing sight again, I'm losing days
I left her out again, I'm outta face
So give me something I can harm, something I like
And print me up and press me out till I've had enough

Here I will stand with my head in my hands
And I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta mine

Say goodbye to me I'm out of here
Confused biology from ear to ear
And is it day or night in here, I can never tell
I'm throwing punches in the dark till I get a hit
I hate my melodies there all the same

And I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I'm here with you in my head, I cant lose

. . .


She don't owe you nothing
She don't have to listen to anything you say
I warned you two, maybe three or more
I warned you to be bite your tongue and save it for the grave

Come on

Kick the cat out and hang up your high heels
Show me magic and spells unknown
With your potions show me some good love my white witch

She won't cost you a penny
She won't cost you any hair of a dog or its tail

So don't you try to be funny, no
Don't you try to do any thing to change her ways yeah
You won't do that no not again
You won't do that 'cause this crazy girl is sure to say
A little charm to rule the day

Come on

Kick the cat out and hang up your high heels
Show me magic and spells unknown
With your potions show me some good love my white witch

Get back, that same old look in your eye
Get back, 'cause I'm not into it

Get back, that same old look in your eye
Get back, 'cause I'm not into it

. . .


Tell me how far will you go
Would you take the life of another?
Will you be the one to say no?
Forgive and forget when you die my love

Never will I see the sun again

Leave it, just leave it alone
You're picking the scab off another
We're digging the dirt to expose
The answers to all that we do not know

Never will I see the sun again
Never will I see the sun again
Where were you Monday?
Where were you Monday?
I was not missing I was dead

It's simple believe it or not
It's easy to play out the ignorant
The fever that burns in us all
The price that you pay when you down my love.

Never will I see the sun again
Never will I see the sun again
Where were you Monday?
Where were you Monday?
I was not missing I was dead
X 2

You know I killed them all
X4

. . .


Driving, we keep on driving, going nowhere
Silent, we keep it silent, no need to share
At all

Lately, things have been changing but nobody cares
Save it, for someone who'll use it, not those with deaf ears

When did you notice something wrong here?
When nobody listens and none of us care
So what are we doing? When will we make a change
Or we lose what we once owned...

Hey kid, run on home again
No world news to sell again

Hate yourself, sorry but you're responsible
I would hate myself, knowing that I'm responsible
Flowing blood for wealth and oil, the arms race and their toys
Power suits and power ties, corporate armour built for liars

And when did you notice something wrong here?
When nobody listens and none of us care
What are you doing? When will we make a change
Or we lose what we once owned

Hey kid, run on home again
No world news to sell again...

. . .


You tripped up again,
you tripped up again, oh no.
You know better, don't you?
Free to believe in, oh no.
Tick-tock again. Tick-tock again, oh no.

Waiting, Waiting.
Waiting, Waiting.

Tip-toe again. Tip-toe again, oh no.
Sounds like nothing you know.
Who's that again? Who's that again, oh no.
Sleep with one eye... oh no!

Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up!

Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
No need to fight, you'll be just fine, you'll be all right.
Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
No need to fight, you'll be just fine, you'll be all right...

And nothing will bother you, son.
Now you're on your own.
And nothing will bother you, son.
Now you're gone.
(Now you're gone.)
Now you're on your own.

Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
You should be home, with those that you love.
I know that you care, I know you can hear me.

Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
No need to fight, you'll be just fine, you'll be all right. (x3)

Be my mistake
Be my favourite place
As cold as your heart is
Here in the middle

Stay another day
Stay another day

Pull back at the seam
Expose all I've seen
There's no need to hide it
There's no new surprises

Stay another day
Stay another day

And you ruined me with the easiest touch
Tear my world apart
Now enough is enough
I've been up most of the night
Now my head's like a train wreck
One more time

Let's all assume
I'm going mad
And the truth it is
I'm an unstable man
There's no way to reason
No one's on my side

Go back to the streets
Of illusions and dreams
Where things were so honest
Where we had our moments

Stay another day
Stay another day

And you ruined me with the easiest touch
Tear my world apart
Now enough is enough
I've been up most of the night
Now my head's like a train wreck
One more time

It's never as it seems
And this ain't gonna change
What difference does it make
To save your sanity
I've seen you on the street
I still don't know your name
The shadows on the wall

The pictures with the moving eyes
The ones who see it all
The ones who keep a notes on you
I see you when we fall
When we meet our maker

Return to the start
Forget who we are
It's here if you want
There's no second chances

Stay another day
Stay another day

. . .


I want to dance another day
For all of us that never had what it takes
I want to swim another mile
I've got to know if this will be worth my while

What a liar
What a thief
What a major f**king waste of my time
I'm glad I know you

And I don't know why I'm careful

I want to take another turn
I want to taste a little sweetness in life
And is it major is it minor
I don't know, I'm out of time I can't tell
I'm glad I know you

And I don't know why I'm careful

Hey I was so sick in school
Remember me
Man I was so sick at school
But I've got my medicine
I've got my medicine
I've got my medicine
I've got my medicine

Hey mister man when will we fall
Forget about all
Forget about all

What a liar
What a thief
What a major f**king waste of my time
I'm glad I know you

What a liar
What a thief
What a major f**king waste of my time
I'm glad I know you

And I don't know why I'm careful
