Sometimes I feel like I'm from another world
And everything I want in life seems impossible
‘Cause people will tear you apart
But in the bottom of our hearts, our dreams are alive inside
But we won't forget

So, we say,
You can't break, can't change, can't take us down (we love this town)
We stand, we'll fight, and fight as our right.
You‘ll never take us alive. Whoa-oh. Whoa-oh.
You'll never take us alive. Whoa-oh. Whoa-oh.
You'll never take us alive.

For the last time, I keep myself to the under man
But letting their words walk all over me
‘Cause people, they'll tear you apart
If you are not like them, and we are different
Let the war begin

So, we say,
You can't break, can't change, can't take us down (we love this town)
We stand, we'll fight, and fight as our right.
You‘ll never take us alive. Whoa-oh. Whoa-oh.
You'll never take us alive. Whoa-oh. Whoa-oh.
You'll never take us alive.

There is no fear inside
This our time, no giving up.
We connect our hearts to our minds,
There's no stopping us.

So, we say,
You can't break, can't change, can't take us down (we love this town)
We stand, we'll fight, and fight as our right.
You‘ll never take us alive. Whoa-oh. Whoa-oh.
You'll never take us alive. Whoa-oh. Whoa-oh.
You'll never take us alive.

This scene is divine
Enemies, they start surrounding me
Mostly in my head 'cause I swear
I've never been so depressed

I can't stand anyone here
I'm thinking, "let's just disappear,"
And we'll roll the dice on a beach-front tropical paradise.

I'm ready to go where palm trees always blow.
I'm sick of this crowd,
We are getting out!

I wanna go where there's no one we know
Where stars glitter like a 70's disco
Come on, come on, I say "Let's get outta here!"
We gotta go where we have no worries
Wet beaches and dry martinis
Come on, come on, let's get outta here.
Let's get outta here.

Maybe I'm going crazy.
The mainstream never made any sense to me.
Always on the outside looking in,
But I swear that we're fitting in.

They say we'll never make it.
Truth is I couldn't care any less.
I think the visions of grandure are the only gifts I'll ever have.

We are getting out!

I wanna go where there's no one we know
Where stars glitter like a 70's disco
Come on, come on, I say "Let's get outta here!"
We gotta go where we have no worries
Wet beaches and dry martinis
Come on, come on, let's get outta here.

I'm ready to go where palm trees always blow
I'm sick of this crowd, we are getting out

I wanna go where there's no one we know
Where stars glitter like a 70's disco
Come on, come on, I say "Let's get outta here!"
We gotta go where we have no worries
Wet beaches and dry martinis
Come on, come on, I say "Let's get outta here!"
We gotta go where we live out loud
You know we're sick of this crowd
Come on, come on, let's get outta here.
Let's get outta here
Let's get outta here

I watch the sun fall down to kill the day.
Another part of me just went up in flames
'Cause I'm bored and dumb and dying to change.
It's the simple life driving me insane.

Then you explode in my head.
And now you're all over me.
I come alive with you.
You know you set me free.
Let's go.


Let's burn this town.
Right to the ground.
And we'll go down like every legend before us.
We'll part the seas.
Make history.
While chasing dreams like every legend before us.

You and me, we hit the streets.
'Cause the thrill of living gives me energy.
I wanna steal a car and rob a bank.
I wanna find a cure that'll save the world.
'Cause our lives are going up in flames.
As we watch like it's a movie.
I come alive with you.
You're like the drug inside of my head.

Let's burn this town.
Right to the ground.
And we'll go down like every legend before us.
We'll part the seas.
Make history.
While chasing dreams like every legend before us.

I open up like a window for you.
So come on in and destroy me like you do.
You come on in after midnight for me.
And drag me out while the city falls asleep.

Martyrs and kings.
Heroes and thieves.
We're chasing dreams like every legend before us.

Let's burn this town.
Right to the ground.
And we'll go down like every legend before us.
We'll part the seas.
Make history.
While chasing dreams like every legend before us.

Let's burn this town.
Right to the ground.
And we'll go down like every legend before us.
Martyrs and kings.
Heroes and thieves.
We're chasing dreams like every legend before us.

. . .


Another weekend comes I got nowhere to go.
So get real high and head to your window.
Watch perfect faces living perfect lives.
'Til something snaps inside.

Now everything looks just like a horror cartoon.
And I'm thinking of something that I know I shouldn't do.
But nobody knows me and nobody cares.
And damn, I feel alive.

You think you know who we are.
Well you don't know us at all.

We are criminals.
The arsonists, the thieves, the regrets.
Save yourself.
You put us in cages but you made us criminals.
Lost inside your american dreams.
We'll carry them for the quarantine.

Now I'm running away.
Just like a (?) machine.
And a memory follows like a horrible dream.
But I prove to myself I can do anything.
And damn I feel alive.

We are criminals.
The arsonists, the thieves, the regrets.
Save yourself.
You put us in cages but you made us criminals.
Lost inside the american dream.
We'll carry them for the quarantine.

For every town that I've been lied to.
Been cheated, beaten down.
Revenge is such a glamorous feeling.
I've been craving for so long.
And when you sleep at night.
Believe me, I'll be there in the dark.
'Cause we've got nothing to lose.
And we don't care who you are.

The rich, the beautiful.
You don't mean a thing to a scorched earth.
Parasites in paradise.
Our time has come to change your life.

We are criminals.
The arsonists, the thieves, the regrets.
Save yourself.
You put us in cages but you made us.

The rich, the beautiful.
You don't mean a thing to a scorched earth.
Parasites in paradise.
Our time has come to change your life.

The disenchanted.
The revolution to change your life.
We're now at war with our future.

. . .


On the Chicago River after dark
We watch the city lights tear the sky apart
The wind was blowing her hair around
As the scenery explodes, I'll tell you how

I fell into an old cliche
Always on the road, only halfway sane
No hospital can fix what I've become.

I've trapped myself in a ring of fire.
If I say I'm okay, I'm also a liar.
The only way out is through the pain.
(How am I gonna get through this?)

I got so low that I get high
Just to sit and watch the miles go by.
Now I'm cold and sweaty with a nauseous heart
I got a million addictions wearing me down.
I fell into an old cliche
Always on the road only halfway sane
No hospital can fix what I've become.

I've trapped myself in a ring of fire.
If I say I'm okay, I'm also a liar.
The only way out is through the pain.

And as I write these words, my hands start to shake
With trouble sneaking in not a second too late.
The only way out is through the pain.
Tomorrow I'll start again.

And now I'm begging for help
I know I can't get up
Gotta face this one all alone.
And if I don't make it,
Remember that I'll always be a part of you.

I've trapped myself in a ring of fire.
If I say I'm okay, I'm also a liar.
The only way out is through the pain.

And as I write these words, my hands start to shake
With trouble sneaking in not a second too late.
The only way out is through the pain.
Tomorrow I'll start again

. . .



Just imagine what it’s like to love yourself from the inside out
Imagine, is that a dread again
You wake up, now you feel alive

‘Cause you don’t have to walk alone
You’re not alone right now
You don’t have to hate the world
You don’t have to walk alone
You’re not alone right now

You know it’s all in your mind
It’s all you see, the world behind your eyes
Just imagine what it’s like to sleep at night with nothing on your mind
Imagine, don’t regret again
Everything you’ve done just turned out wrong

‘Cause you don’t have to walk alone
You’re not alone right now
You don’t have to hate the world
You don’t have to walk alone
You’re not alone right now

You don’t have to do anything
Wrap it up and give the world to you
When you think you’ve had enough
When you think the skies are falling down
Just breathe, open up your heart to it
Let the sun cover up the flights in your mind

This is not who you are
Push it out, crash and burn it down, burn it down
Scared of the ocean floor, rip the earth
Cry it out, just breathe, just breathe
Ohohoh, Just breathe


. . .


I woke up to a dream passing by.
It was the middle of the night.
Was I awake? Was I asleep?
What was I doing outside?

I saw a man walk from the trees
He came and sat next to me
He said, "Boy, if you don't follow your dreams,
You'll be dead someday. Just like me."
Then he got up and walked away
And I started to think.
He turned around, I saw his face
And I looked deep in his eyes,
And I realized that man was me.

You're not for this world,
This world is for you
And now is the time.
(There's no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day
While you're alive
(Stand for something!)

I contemplate my every day
And everything I've been afraid to change.
Never good enough, (promptly too late?),
Always excuses away.
I used to think if I never tried,
I would never fail.
Now I realize, I can do anything.

You're not for this world,
This world is for you
And now is the time.
(There's no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day
While you're alive
(Stand for something!)

Too little too late
And then you die
And no one even knows your name.
Don't let your light fight from your heart
Your heart gives you the best advice.

Believe!
Believe!

You're not for this world,
This world is for you
And now is the time.
(There's no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day
While you're alive
(Stand for something!)

For what you believe
For what you believe

. . .


On an island out in the sea.
I would'nt care what they think of me.
But in this crowed in a room.
I believe that I'm seconds from insanity.
'Cuz your eyes just ripped me all apart.
And my temperamental mind decides that I'm the enemy.

Welcome to oblivion.
Where panic starts to settle in.
Welcome to oblivion.
Oooooh, I think I'm losing it.

So many voices I can't even sleep.
Typical late night company.
They asked questions about my life.
Where is it going and who am I.

And those voices rip me all apart.
I need medicine to quiet.
And to survive it .

Welcome to oblivion.
Where panic starts to settle in.
And I'm afraid of everything.
Oooh, I think I'm losing it.

Welcome to oblivion.
Where I can't stand who I am.
And I'm afraid of everything.
Oooh, I lost my head again.

Oooooh.
Oooooh.

Then I met you.
You were standing all alone.
'Cuz you felt it too.
The world has broken you down.
You and me.
We're gonna make it through.
'Cuz now we know.
(There's people like us)

Then I fall apart inside.
All of my thoughts collide.
And that's no way to live life.
Oooooh.
I think I'm losing it.

Welcome to oblivion.
I gotta get of the medicine.
'Cuz I can't stand who I am.
Oooooh.
I lost my head again.

Welcome to oblivion.
Where panic starts to settle in.
And I'm afraid of everything.
Ooooh.
I lost my head again.

. . .


They say the darkest hour's just before the dawn.
Well, I've been up all night just desperate for the sun.
'Cause I've got a voice or two that can't seem to forget you.
They keep me up all night no matter what I do.

All these images surrounding me
Over you in my head as I lay still,
But the silent voices kill.

They won't shut up.
There's so much noise inside my head.
They won't give up.
I can't get away from myself.
I don't wanna meet someone new,
I just wanna be over you.

The past is a noose that you have tied my life up to.
Now I'm obsessed, I'm sick, I'm desperate, I can't move.

All these images surrounding me
Over you in my head as I lay still,
But the silent voices kill.

They won't shut up.
There's so much noise inside my head.
They won't give up.
I can't get away from myself.
I don't wanna meet someone new,
I just wanna be over you.

They don't give up.
I can't even hear myself.

They won't shut up.
There's so much noise inside my head.
They won't give up.
I can't get away from myself.
I don't wanna meet someone new,
I just wanna be over you

. . .


You're a wolf, you are.
Dressed like a fox.
Got me tied up in knots over you.
But I think that I'm just a flavor you crave on instinct.
'Cause you don't feel ashamed.
But it won't make a difference.

I've been wrong so many times.
Let's be realistic.
I'm only a statistic to you.
And it hurts so deep inside.
Maybe I'm sadistic.
I love when you inflict it on me.

You can take my time,
'Cause after all.
Well, the earth's just a ball that revolves around you.
And all my friends and family try to warn me.
But like I'm off to flame.
Darling lead the way.
'Cause I'm afraid of change.
So meet me in your bedroom.

I've been wrong so many times.
Let's be realistic.
I'm only a statistic to you.
And it hurts so deep inside.
Maybe I'm sadistic.
I can't get myself off of you.
I'm only a statistic to you.
I can't get myself off of...

I just caught you like a disease.
It's terminal and I'm going down.
But you're afraid that's worse than death.
And I gotta get out of this mess.
You're a wolf.
You are.
You are.

(Only a statistic to you)
I've been wrong so many times.
Let's be realistic.
I'm only a statistic to you.
And it hurts so deep inside.
Maybe I'm sadistic.
I can't get myself off of you.
I'm only a statistic to you.
I think I'm addicted to you.

. . .


When I'm afraid the better days are never coming again.
I imagine your face, and I keep on moving.
I'm bound to cry, destined to fly.
And guaranteed to die.
But till the end I've got your face.
And I keep on moving.

I lost my mom when I was only twelve.
I was robbed with a gun when I was twenty-one.
I crashed my car when I was drunk again.
And now, got no friends got no money.
But I keep on learning.

You can build a life and have it broken down.
You can chose a path and get turned around.
You can hate yourself and fall in love again.
As for me, I've lost friends lost lovers.
But I still got my soul.

When I'm afraid the better days are never coming again.
I imagine your face, and I keep on moving.
I'm bound to win I'm bound to loose.
And all the way I have to choose.
Sometimes it's right more times it's wrong.
But I keep on moving.

You can build a life and have it broken down.
You can chose your path and get turned around
You can hate yourself and fall in love again.
As for me, I've lost friends, lost lovers.
But I still got my soul.

In a journey through my head.
I stumble on a mess.
The bad things from my past.
Are buried not dead.

They haunt you like ghosts.
Begging me to let 'em go.
But they make me who I am.
And I wouldn't change anything.

You can build a life and have it broken down.
You can chose a path and get turned around.
You can hate yourself and fall in love again.
As for me, I've lost friends lost lovers.
But I still got my soul (3x)

Never Take Us Alive (From the Attic mix)

[No lyrics]

. . .


I know it's getting late
Because time is begging me
Not to throw another minute of my life away
But now that I'm awake
I'll just sit here and wait
To choke on the fumes that tomorrow will bring

Life is hard for me.
(I'm not sure what to do with myself)
Now that I'm afraid.

What's the point of being alive
If you don't make your life mean something?
What's the point of having gods and demons
If we're all going to live like zombies?

I never really bought in to any religions.
I was never allowed in the popular crowd.
This fake rock scene just never made sense to me.
Blood money's not such good company.

Life is hard for me.
(I'm not sure what to do with myself)
I've been pushed to the brink of madness.

What's the point of being alive
If you don't make your life mean something?
What's the point of having gods and demons
If we're all going to live like zombies?

Life is hard for me.
I've been pushed to the brink of madness.

. . .

Scorched Earth

[No lyrics]

. . .


You've gotten good at being alone
But that's no life for such a beautiful soul
This road is longer than I ever knew
But tonight I'm coming home to see you

We've got tonight, little angel
We'll sleep under a blanket of stars.
We've got tonight, little angel
And we'll forget tomorrow
I'll be gone.

What's on your mind that I don't know?
Your eyes are wandering like never before.
And then it hit me like a ton of stones,
that I'm the only one that was still in love.

Where did it go, little angel?
Where did all your love for me go?
Because we still had forever,
and forever's something I can't face alone.
Where did it go?
Where did all your love for me go?

So I slam my head into a wall 'til every thought of you falls out.
But there's one thought left, and it's killing me
And I just have to know...

Where did it go, little angel?
Where did all your love for me go?
Because we still had forever,
and forever's something I can't face alone.
Where did it go, go?
Where did it go?
Where did all your love for me go?
