Candlebox Album

Hey, is there something you've got on your mind?
Can you speak a bit louder?
Just wait: Listen close to these words and you'll find
It gets harder to swallow their lies

Stay: All they ask is you follow them, fools
Yes you've made it so far so you
So you play: Bring your friends to our party, recruit
It'll take you much further

Oh, this is your way
All your cunning destruction
No we cannot stay
We'll say fuck you consumption

If I stood for you, and I bled for you
Would you come and save me?
If we took a chance, did it all again
Would you run away or stand?

So you prey
On the loneliest cubs in this zoo
All the weak and unknowing just clay
You can mold and conform them the rules
We must break you bad habits

Oh this is your way
All your cunning destruction
No, we cannot stay
We'll say fuck you consumption

If I stood for you, and I bled for you
Would you come and save me?
If we took a chance, did it all again
Would you run away or stand?

Stand up for who we are
Stand up with I and I
Stand up for who we are
Stand up your right

Oh, if I stood for you, and I bled for you
Would you come and save me, yeah?
If we took a chance, did it all again
Would you run away, or would you stand?

If I stood for you, and I bled for you
Would you come and save me, yeah?
If we took a chance, did it all again
Would you run away, or would you stand?

Would you stand?
Would you stand?
Would you, would you, would you, would you
Would you stand?

You're at an all time low, you're giving in
I've got some blood to spill, it's simple kid
Come on come on now back that smack up swing
Uh oh, talk the talk
Uh oh, mean old dog
Oh no, bitches brewing
Uh oh... bitches brewin'

Hey- I'm at your beckon call, and I'm dressed for sin
Yes I've got some sick shoes on, let's get it swingin'
Voice too hot for pop must be that fuckin' yo
Uh oh, talk the talk
Uh oh, walk the walk uh oh
Baby I want you to answer me come on

Some say, it's your motherfuckin' bed so sleep in it
I saw you comin'
Hey hey, talking shit won't fix this bitch
She's cold and you'll never win
You will never win

You're at an all time high, and you're slinging shit
If you had an inch of soul, baby you would benefit
Fess up or unrest in peace you'll know
Uh oh, talk that talk
Uh oh, walk the walk uh oh
Baby I think you should fuckin' scream come on

Some say, it's your motherfuckin' bed so sleep in it
I saw you comin'
Hey hey, talking shit won't fix this bitch
She's cold
And you will never win

Ooh ma mama ma so
Some say it's your motherfuckin' bed so sleep in it
I saw you comin'
Hey hey, talking shit won't fix this bitch
She's cold
And you will never

Some say it's your motherfuckin' bed get in and
Hey hey, I saw you coming
Talking shit won't fix this bitch now
Some say, it's your motherfuckin' bed won't you get in
Cause you will never win

I'm in the need
Of someone to confide
Surrendering
Cause I'm not as strong as you'd think
Uncommonly
The desire that holds our eyes
We'll need to dig deep

You see that I can't but reason I cover up
Better than most
Yes I cover up better than most
I'm surrendering

I can't believe that you were ever on my side
But who holds the keys
Of who I am and why this life
And I want to be free
This indecision from all sides
You need to dig deep
Cause you see that

I can't but reason I cover up
Better than most
Yes I cover up better than most
I'm surrendering

Oh, this blame that we lay on
Our mothers, our sisters, our lovers
Our thoughts, they're ours to own
So we need to dig deep
You see that I can't but reason

Could somebody please give me something to hold
Something to numb why I'm feeling alone
Beginning to think that the older we get
The more we think, the less we know

I'm surrendering

I surrender,
Cause I can't but reason I cover up
Better than most,
Yes I cover up better than most
I'm surrendering
Yes I cover up better than most
Yes I cover up better than most
I'm surrendering

I'm in the need
Of someone to confide
Surrendering
Cause I'm not as strong as you'd think

I've been blinded by
The beauty of your eye
This worries me (she whispers)
Sunshine my love
The meanings of her words do move
Undressed indoors
To me it's lust
Oh we got high, high to rain it all over my
Sunshine my love, oh be still
If this is my time then I'm running late
Oh my angel

Always into the sun
Wings ablaze, I'm alive, I fight
Always into the sun
To unsteady me, no more no more no more

I've unsteady days
You flicker in my gaze
This hurries me (she whispers)
Tic toc my love
Beneath it all it's clear
It's deeper than, deeper than the deepest sea
She isn't ready for it, she isn't ready for
Anything, anything that might
Further me away my love goodbye
Goodbye my love, will you sing this song?
When my time has come and I'm running late
Oh my angel

Always into the sun
Wings ablaze, I'm alive, I fight
Always into the sun
To unsteady me no
Unsteady, dying, maybe wounded
I'm wide awake and I'm not sleeping
Always into the sun
Wings ablaze, I'm alive, I fight

Sitting here awaiting cover
To see the one that never got away
She still stops so far so far still further
Won't you hold her still?
If you only love would love her love would love
My love would love me martyr

Always into the sun
Wings ablaze, I'm alive, I fight
Always into the sun
To unsteady me no

Always into the sun
Wings ablaze, I'm alive, I fight
Always into the sun
To unsteady me no more

Oh my dying hands deny
As seasons dance around
I am but one amongst the losing race
The massive fear resounds
I come before the greater good of men
My lessons learned to lie
I am a son of war, my father's son
I've amassed a forced ally

Who travels on? Who travels on?

These empty souls charade
As colors fade then fold
I've begun to spin
The hands of time my love
Desperate men are sold
I come before the greater good of men
My lessons learned to lie
You're hanging on by the threads of your lesser sins
At the expense of your decline

Who travels on? Who travels on?

And I come from near and far
And I come from face to face
And I come to carry on
Underneath it all,
Oh underneath it all
Oh underneath it all

I come to carry on
Underneath it all

All, all it's not alright
Your role it played through time
Come and rescue me
You're needed here at home

And your space, a moment in time
A hand to hold a hand I tried
Who was it called to you?
Who called?
Your stories alive with hellos and goodbyes
And bright lights, first kiss and drunken nights
How I miss you

I miss you now and
Hey, I can't wait another day
And hey, that crooked smile upon your face
Oh, they'll never get old
All the stories you told
From the beach to the ring
To the songs of your soul
How I miss you
I miss you now and hey

And the rain
Falling cold outside
Covered me the day you died
You could have waited one more day
And I should've called
I dream of your life, the war and the fight
The music you played, the love for your wife
And I miss you
Hmm mmm

I miss you now and
Hey, I can't wait another day
And hey, that crooked smile upon your face
Oh, they'll never get old
All the stories you told
From the beach to the ring
To the songs of your soul
How I miss you
I miss you now and hey

(Bridge:)
And I'm mad at the age
That stole you away
By surviving that beach
You gave me my stay
And I understand by this that I am
All that you were was changed by that sand
But I miss you yeah
I miss you yeah

And I miss you, yeah
And hey, I can't wait another day
And hey, that crooked smile upon your face
Oh, they'll never get old
All the stories you told
From the beach to the ring
To the songs of your soul
How I miss you
How I miss you

And I just want to thank you, for all that you've done
The mess that you've made, the allegations
And I don't want to blame you, yes I need to crack down
You're essential to the process, and the essence of my breakdown, yea

And I can't wait to sell you, to the village of fools
Cos you're a violent hangover, malicious so cruel
Could you keep it secret, you couldn't lock it up tight
Cos you're a sea of information thats spilling out from all sides
I think i might find you, a little clumsy and aloof
Atop a mountain of sand, unhinged in untruths

How does it feel, upon your throne
How does it feel, to be all alone
How does it feel, to crawl so low
Your the king of nothing, you're just a show
How does it feel

And I will give you no words, yes I choose a new stance
Its hard enough to engage, the smart as well as the ass
You couldn't keep it secret, you couldn't lock it up tight
Cos you're a sea of information, that's bleeding out of the lies

How does it feel, upon your throne
How does it feel, to be all alone
How does it feel, to crawl so low
Your the king of nothing, you're just a show
How does it feel

One might deceive
One might lie
One more disease, yea
A great divide
How does it feel
To be on your own
You are the sea
So welcome to the show
Welcome to the show, yea
Welcome to the show, yea
Welcome to the show,
How does it feel
Welcome to the show, yea
How does it feel?

I can't quite breathe alone
The patience pressing harder still
Have I lost my call
My fantasies all unfulfilled?
What can I liken to these seas?
A kiss before may bury me
To drown within a day is closer than you think

I find less time for those that can't forgive me
I find it hard to keep my hands from shaking
Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out
I won't get out alive

It's all uphill from here
I've walked 1,000 miles have you
The final cut to slip, but never had the follow through
A vagrant of song melodies
A kiss before my tendencies
I carry a blade to keep the scars that never wash away

I find less time for those that can't forgive me
I find it hard to keep my hands from shaking
Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out
I won't get out alive

Through time my memories have jaded
The innocence of child has faded
I break the chase the ones that left me
All alone

I find less time for those that can't forgive me
I find it hard to keep my hands from shaking
Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out
I won't get out alive

Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out
I won't get out alive
I won't get out alive
I won't get out alive

[No lyrics]

You came out of nowhere, and our eyes collide
Like a wall collapsing, a crushing tide
And I saw you laughing, and I saw your smile
It made me anxious baby, it made me high
You ask I answer no, that seat's been removed
You're a deep-rooted tree, an artist's muse
I watch you listen, and I watch you share
You make me want more
And you make me scared
You're so much more than I'd ever hoped

So won't you breathe
Oh won't you breathe
Breathe me in
So I am whole

Oh won't you breathe
Oh won't you breathe
Breathe me in
So I am whole

We're miles from home, we're one another's tribe
An autumn season in a summer's time
And I watch you circle
And baby I watch you fall
You make me feel what I thought
I could never feel at all
And you're so much more
Than I'd ever hoped

So won't you breathe
Oh won't you breathe
Breathe me in
So I am whole
Oh won't you breathe
Oh won't you breathe
Breathe me in
So I am whole

Let it out, let it go, ok to breathe
Let it out, let it go, ok
So much more than
Oh, let it out let it go ok to breathe
Let it out let it go ok
So much more than

So much more than I had ever hoped
So much more than I had ever
So much more than I had ever
So much more than I had ever hoped
Oh won't you breathe me in
Oh won't you breathe me in
Oh won't you breathe me in
Oh won't you breathe me in

D'you ever see yourself in my eyes?
Did you ever think that maybe I'd be lost without you?
D'you ever think that I was alright
You knew it all along

D'ya ever try to sing my songs?
Did you ever take a walk I wasn't walking with you, yea?
Did you love me just to be loved?
I knew all along, I didn't try

Sometimes I like to be alone
Sometimes I try to telephone...

Lover, come back to me
Lover, come back to me
In your arms is where I need to be
I am alone
I am alone
A raging sea

I want to taste your bronze skin's delights
Did you ever want to be the sun that browns me?
D'ya ever think that I might decide
To ask you to stay, baby put up a fight

Sometimes I like to be alone
Sometimes I like to telephone...

Lover, you
Lover, come back to me
Lover, come back to me
Cause in your arms is where I need to be
I'm alone
I am alone
Raging sea, yeah

Lover you
Lover, come back to me
Lover, come back to me, yeah
Lover, come back to me, yeah
In your arms is where I need to be
I am alone
I am alone
In this raging sea
Lover, you come back to me yeah
Lover, you come back to me
Lover, you come back
Cause I'm alone
I am alone
Raging sea

Consider us the long lonely road
Defenders of the brittlest of bones
The dressers of the prettiest of clothes
Our time is gonna come but we'll have nowhere to go

What do we see before we die, is it beautiful?
What do we say to make you cry, is it wonderful?
What do I sing to save your life, is it magical?
Baby, how would you feel if we were lying?

Remember us we were the last ones on your mind
Escapers from the erased and denied
The rest is up to you sinners we've aligned
Our time is on the run, and it's left to us to decide

What do we see before we die, is it beautiful?
What do we say to make you cry, is it wonderful?
What do I sing to save your life, is it magical?
Baby, how would you feel if we were lying?

What do we see? What do we see?
What do we see? What do we see yeah?
What do we see before we die?

What do we see before we die, is it beautiful?
What do we say to make you cry, is it wonderful?
What do I sing to save your life, is it magical?
Baby, how would you feel if we were lying?
How would you feel if we were lying?
How would you feel if we were lying?
