Crossfade Album

If only you could watch me fall
I cannot feel it anymore
The soul you cut, the soul you
adored
Cannot feel you anymore
Cause you've run through me with
destructive force
I think somehow I gotta get it
straight
I gotta get you out of me
But I cannot get through you

See me I'm down and I get deeper
with every breath
See me I'm over the edge, farther
with every step
See me I'm down and I get deeper
with every breath
Standing over the edge - I’m taking
my last breath

How I feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to fade now
And how I feel like I’m starless
I’m hopeless and grayed out
Somehow I feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to fade now
And now I feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to burn out

I can transcend you and mentally
bend you
But I can’t handle the shit that I’m
into
I have been blinded, I'm always
reminded
Of the things I’ve wanted but I
never could find
I am a part of a world that I hate
I wish the end would come faster,
my world's a disaster
Can’t you see that I’m down and I’m
drowning
And I can’t keep my head above my
wake

See me I'm down and I get deeper
with every breath
See me I'm over the edge, farther
with every step
See me I'm down and I get deeper
with every breath
Standing over the edge - I’m taking
my last breath

How I feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to fade now
And how I feel like I’m starless
I’m hopeless and grayed out
Somehow I feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to fade now
And now I feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to burn out

I gotta get you out of my veins
I gotta get you out of my blood
I gotta get you out of my scene
I gotta get you out of me

What I’m really trying hard to get
down to words
Is the way I fit into this world
I think I’ve survived
Pushed me to the darker side
Because of life as it was
The life that was yours should've
been mine
But I never could take anymore of
this
Cause I’m always gonna get down to
the floor
It’s a cold gun that I kiss
Cause I cannot break anymore

Somehow I feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to fade now
That’s how I feel when I’m starless
I’m hopeless and grayed out
Somehow I feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to burn out
Now I'm starless

Looking back at me I see that I
never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I’m always wrapped up in things I
cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Something strong like a drug that
gets me high

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so

Cold to you, I’m sorry about all the
lies
Maybe in a different light
You can see me stand on my own
again cause now I can see
You are the antidote that got me by
Something strong like a drug that got
me high

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold

I never meant to be, so cold

I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I
keep
Locked inside of me so deep it
always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have
known
I guess for me there’s just no hope
I never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold

I've been changin' but you'll never
see me now
I've been changin' but you'll never
see me now
Now I'm blaming you for eveything

No more holding it in
How many years can I pretend
And nothing ever goes the way it
should

No more sitting in this place
Hoping you might see it my way
Cause I don't think you ever
understood
That what I'm looking for are the
answers
To why these questions never go
away

I'm so far away
I've been changin' but you'll never
see me now
I'm so far away
Now I'm blaming you for everything

No more waiting for the end
Of everyday that I will spend
Wishing that I only had a choice

No more pushing it away
Cause I'll be busy watching things go
my way
Never looking back on this anymore
Cause what I'm looking for are the
answers
To why these questions never go
away

I'm so far away
I've been changin' but you'll never
see me now
I'm so far away
Now I'm blaming you for everything

I've been changin' but you'll never
see me now
Now I'm blamming you for everything

I'm so far away

Hey, hey, watch me wave
Goodbye to yesterday
Nothing left in my way

Hey, hey, I've been saved
With sun shinning on my face
Getting me through this day

Hey, hey, watch me wave
Goodbye to yesterday
Nothing left in my way
feels so good say

I'm so far away
I've been changin' but you'll never
see me now
I'm so far away
Now I'm blaming you

I'm so far away

Can you feel it crush you
Does it seem to bring the worst in
you out
Theres no running away from
These things that hold you down

Do they complicate you
Because they make you feel like this
Of all the colors that you shine
This is surely not your best

But you should know these
Colors that your shinin'

Are surely not the best
Colors that you shine

Surely not the best
Colors that you shine

I know you feel alone, yea
No one else can figure you out
But don't you ever turn away from
The ones that help you down

They love to save you
Don't you know they would love to
see you smile
But these colors that you shine
Are surely not your style

But you should know these
Colors that your shinin'

Are surely not the best
Colors that you shine
Surely not the best
Colors that you shine

I know your feeling like your lost
But you should know these colors
that you're shinin' are
I know your feeling like your lost
You feel you've drifted way too far
Did you know these colors that
you're shinin' are

Surely not the best
Colors that you shine
Surely not the best
Colors that you shine
Surely not the best (I know your
feeling like your lost)
Colors that you shine (But you
should know these colors that you're
shinin' are)
Surely not the best (I know your
feeling like your lost)
You feel you drifted way too far
Did you know these colors that
you're shinin' are

Yeah it's what I've become that I
fear the most
I never thought it could get so
wrong
I believe there's a part of me that I
cannot beat
A part of me I can't defeat
The side of me that just doesn't
belong

Judging by the weight of my fucked
up world
I think maybe I should take a step
back from this
I need to quit pushing just let it roll

The waves that you made push me,
push me
The things that you say push me,
push me
The waves that you made push me,
push me
So I'll play God now and blow you,
blow you away

Yeah its what you've become that I
took today
You never thought thought I could
be so strong
You can see there's a part of me
that you cannot beat.
And part of you will always
remember me
When you look around and you are
so alone

Judging by the weight of my fucked
up world
I think maybe I should take a step
back from this
But you had to keep pushin' so I let it
go

Now that you pushed me I bet you
wish we could have made things
better
And now you see that I could be
another would be another Death
Trend Setta.

I built my life like my bike on a rigid frame
So nothing bends it only breaks into pieces and pieces
I waited for hope to arrive but it never came
Leaving me with only pain inside
I'm going off the deep end

Holding on is harder than it seems
When you're reaching for so much more
Seems so much easier to just give in
When you're reaching for so much more

Another wasted Saturday so here I stay
Where nothing seems to ever change anyway hey
All this hype about life bein' great
Where's the love for me these days
I'm goin off the deep end

so you found out today
you're life's not the same
not quite as perfect
as it was yesterday
when you were just
getting in the groove
now you're faced with something
new
I know it hurts
and I know you feel torn
but you never gave up
this easily before
so why do you choose today
to give it all away

well it's not so bad y'all
together we all fall
just as long as we get up
we'll stand tall
we shouldn't waste another day
thinking 'bout the things
that we forgot to say
I'm hitting back y'all
I'm kicking these four walls
just as hard as I can
'till I can't crawl
I won't waste another day
with all these silly things
swimming in my brain

CHORUS
There's no giving up now
do you really wanna give this all
away?
can't you ever see things in a
different way someday...
such a beautiful thing to throw away
you should think things through
over and over again
all over again

so your scars fade away
you soaked up the pain
a better person 'cause you
lived through those days
and now you know what it's like to
prove
you can overcome anything that
gets to you
well it's alright
we're saying our goodbyes
to the past and everything that ain't
right
we won't waste another day
with all these silly things in our way

There's no giving up now
do you really wanna give this all
away?
can't you ever see things in a
different way someday...
such a beautiful thing to throw away
you should think things through
before you give it up now

I know we have given
all that we can give
when there's nothing to lean on
I'd remember this
all we make of this lifetime
has always been within
and remembering that's why
[whispering] we should never give in

do you really wanna give this all
away?
can't you ever see things in a
different way someday...
such a beautiful thing to throw away
you should think things through
over and over again
all over again
There's no giving up now!

So I’m the king of all these things
Of this mess I have made
Such a waste
What a shame
My whole life is a fake
Well I’m a bore and I’m sure
I’m a thorn inside of you
That has torn at you for years
The alcohol, the Demerol,
These things never could replace
What a minute with you could do
To put a smile on my face
Well I’m a bore and I’m sure
I’m a thorn inside of you
That has torn at me for years

I can’t get out of this dead skin
I can’t shed my skin
Not sure where to begin
I can’t get under my dead skin
I can’t shed my skin
Can I sleep till then?

Phenobarbital and alcohol
These two surely will do
To knock me out
To keep me down
At least a day or two
When I’m awake
I can taste how bitter I’ve become
And it’s more than I can bear
Some days I pray, someone will blow
me away
Make it quick, but let it burn
So I can feel my life fade
Well, I’m a waste, and I can taste
How bitter I’ve become
And it’s more than I can bear

I can’t get out of this dead skin
I can’t shed my skin
Not sure where to begin
I can’t get under my dead skin
I can’t shed my skin
Can I sleep til then?

(I can't shed my skin)
(I can't shed my skin)

I can’t get out of this dead skin
Not so well to begin
I can’t get under my dead skin
Can I sleep til then?

I can’t get out of this dead skin
I can’t shed my skin
Not so well to begin
I can’t get under my dead skin
I can’t shed my skin
Can I sleep til then?

You would give it all up in an instant
I bet you'd torch your house with
your own hands
You'd let me break your back so you
could lie in it and never get up
Never get up from it
You're back into that smack
Do you know you act just like a
whore
Beggin' for crack or a sack
You think you revolutionize with
every breath
You bring me down

Does anybody know who the fuck
you are?
Does anybody care how the fuck
you are?

You're wasted now and you're gettin
on down with the disco
You're wasted now and you think
you want to leave but you don't go
You're wasted now and your pants
have been soiled but you disco
You're wasted now and you think
there was a point but you dont know

You would take us all down with you
if you would stab me in the back with
your own hands
Never turn around to see if I'm okay
I'll always get up , get up in your
face
You're one of the people everybody
just loves to hate
Just a person everybody else loves
to blame
You think we care
Well every breath you take just
brings us down

Does anybody know who the fuck
you are?
Does anybody care how the fuck
you are?

What was your point?
You bring it back for me
Those things I thought left me
That hate, That greed, That bleeds
me become the speed that feeds me

Can you hear me
Can you see any part of me
Can you feel me
Can you bleed for me

Can't you see me walkin in your
shoes
Can't you feel me stepping all over
your soul
Can't you feel me reach into you

Can't you feel me walkin all over
your soul
Can't you feel me wait in pain
Can't you feel me reach into you

Can't you see me walkin in your
shoes
Can't you feel me stepping all over
your soul
Can't you feel me reach into you

Can't you feel me walkin all over
your soul
Can't you feel me wait in pain
Can't you feel me reach into you

Can't you feel me walkin all over
your soul
Can't you feel me wait in pain
Can't you feel me reach into you
