maybe it is dangerous
to invite a stranger into the room with us
the noise is growing louder but i'm not scared at all

when there's no more money in politics
they'll be tearing down the union brick by brick
there'll be cynics holding clinics about where we have been
with every self-proclaimed historian

you know i know you don't want this
you don't need this

i'm shining the light on the darkest places
you know and i know we have to face this now
we have to face this now

the days are growing dark what are we gonna do?
the countries in a panic when i turn on the tube
so maybe i'll just wake up in the afternoon

you can change the channels on your tv
push all the little buttons 'til your fingers bleed
but you won't change me
there's nothing i would do for you cause
you don't wanna see

you know i know you don't want this
you can't dismiss

i'm shining the light on the darkest places
you know and i know we have to face this now
we have to face this now
i'm shining the light on the darkest places
putting the word out we have to face this now
we have to face this now

a generation taking numbers, making calls
as shadows move across my bedroom wall

i'm shining the light on the darkest places
you know and i know we have to face this now
we have to face this now
i'm shining the light on the darkest places
putting the word out we have to face this now
we have to face this now

You’ve got so many problems
No one else thinks you can solve them
Where did the time go
Everybody wants to know
Life goes on day after day after day
Too much work and no play

When life seems like it cant get any harder
When you feel like a martyr
When you’ve lost all control
That's when you’ve let the whole world know

You’re young and depressed
With no future in this loneliness
You’re young and depressed
But you’re pretty well dressed
Yeah you’re pretty well dressed

I know that you’ve been hurting
So much has led up to this
Your eyes are burning
Hard times make the heart agree
That's all that you want is to follow your dreams
They all fall apart at the seams

Discontentment turns to anger turning sour every lonely hour
Yeah depression
Failed relations turn over a new leaf will it be a four leaf clover?
Yeah obsession yeah depression yeah

Without a window to see through,
I did my time, in here without you,
Slept on the floor down in the LEC,
Meet me back home and do the mocking.

It seems like misery loves misery,
My favourite songs they keep me company,
So many memories come down to this,
I maybe be lost but i'm not hopeless.

I heard that sound a mile away
I heard that sound a mile away
All those things i wish that i could say
I heard that sound a mile away
A mile away

Came in like static off the tv,
This kinda thing over goes easy,
I meant to tell you but you were gone,
I tried to get it right, i got it all wrong

I heard that sound a mile away
I heard that sound a mile away
All those things i wish that i could say
I heard that sound a mile away
A mile away

Sat outside the show,
With nowhere else, nowhere else to go
Don't say "can't see"
It sure does sound, get to me

(Whoa oaaa) Na Na Na Na Na (Whoa oaaa)
Don't save yourself....get to me
(Whoa oa) Na Na Na Na Na
Get to you....get to me

I heard that sound a mile away
I heard that sound a mile away
All those things i wish that i could say
I heard that sound a mile away
A mile away
A mile away

I hear the cold streets calling me, (cold streets)
I hear the cold streets calling me,
I feel the dark dark swallow me, (dark dark)
And now the black it colours me,

Whoa-oa-oa-oa
Whoa-oa-oa-oa

I might push up screaming,
'Cause I don't feel so alive,
This is one night why,
I'm all alone tonight,
And i'm still dreaming.

But when the cold streets fade away, (Cold streets)
When will the sun come back again,
And all the back streets and alley ways, (back streets)
I see the cold streets night and day.

whoa-oa-oa-oa
whoa-oa-oa-oa

I might push up screaming,
Wake me up from dreaming,
'Cause I don't feel so alive,
This is one night why,
I'm all alone tonight,
And im still dreaming,
'Cause I don't feel so alive,
This is one night why,
I'm all alone tonight,
I'm not alone tonight.

Whoa-oa-oa
Whoa-oa-oa (Whoa-oa-oa)

'Cause I don't feel so alive,
This is one night why,
I'm all alone tonight,
And I'm still dreaming
'Cause I don't feel so alive,
This is one night why,
I'm all alone tonight,
I'm all alone tonight.

can i get a new head?
cause the one i've got
is worn out and so very broken
and now my mind feels dead
it's like an arcade game
an arcade game that won't take a token, no

we get lost
lost along the way
it happens everyday
lost along the way

how will the story end?
where does the time go?
how will the story end?
all we really wanna know
how will this life end?
how will the story end?
where does the time go?
how will the story end?
all we really wanna know
how will our lives end?

can i get a new soul?
the one i got's been trampled on
the push and the pull
like a bottle of gin at Al Anon
can i get a new heart?
the one i got works way too hard
like a prisoner of war
that's come home bruised and scarred

we get lost
lost along the way
it happens everyday
lost along the way

how will the story end?
where does the time go?
how will the story end?
all we really wanna know
how will this life end?
how will the story end?
where does the time go?
how will the story end?
all we really wanna know
how will our lives end?

(woah) yesterday seems so long ago
(woah) like a childhood dream, that shrank as you began to grow

how will the story end?
where does the time go?
how will the story end?
all we really wanna know
how will this life end?
how will the story end?
where does the time go?
how will the story end?
all we really wanna know
how will our lives end?

where's my voice?
has it lost it's way?
as if we have a choice
our character is measured by the words we say
it happens everyday
lost along the way
lost along the way

(feat. Mark Hoppus from Blink 182)

I wrecked your hotel room
I crashed up the car
Slept in the gutter
I'm outside your door

Saw you through the key hole
Down on your knees
There's really no reason to call the police

Do you hold the phone when you're alone
Imagine that it rings then hold it to your ear
And wish that I was there to sing you off to sleep
Be with you in your dreams for the days I will be gone
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song

I know you don't know me
'Cause we've never met
I'm not really crazy
So don't get upset

I've got all these problems
None with solutions
Been in and out of some nice institutions

Do you hold the phone when you're alone
Imagine that it rings then hold it to your ear
And wish that I was there to sing you off to sleep
Be with you in your dreams for the days I will be gone
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song

Do you hold the phone when you're alone
Imagine that it rings then hold it to your ear
And wish that I was there to sing you off to sleep
Be with you in your dreams for the days I will be gone
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song

Late again,
Forgive me friends,
For I am late again,
Til' the day I die, Lord knows I'll try,
'Cause I'm still late again.

When they call my name outside those gates,
I'll be on my way,
Well that's all I can say,
'Cause I'm late again.

Late again,
Forgive me friends,
For I am late again,
Til' the day I die, Lord knows I'll try,
'Cause I'm still late again.

With all the saints, that don't place blame
On sunshine, rain or snow,
Believe me 'cause I know.

That I'm Late again,
Forgive me friends,
For I am late again,
Til' the day I die, Lord knows I'll try,
'Cause I'm still late again

I was late coming into this world,
??? Don't you make going out ???
I was late trying to put this record out

Go.

Late again,
Forgive me friends,
For I am late again,
Til' the day I die, Lord knows I'll try,
'Cause I'm still late again. [x2]

Til' the day I die, Lord knows I'll try,
'Cause I'm still late again.

Lie to me just one more time and maybe, I'll believe you,
Promise me the world and what you're saying now is true,
You cant hold me down.

Kicking and screaming like a child,
I'm out of control i'm running wild,
Kicking and screaming and I want more,
I've done things you cant ignore,
So drag me around swing me out the door.

Stab me in the back i've grown accustomed to the feeling,
Time is ticking slowly, I feel older, but i'm dealing
You cant drown me out.

Kicking and screaming like a child,
I'm out of control i'm running wild,
Kicking and screaming and I want more,
I've done things you cant ignore,
So drag me around swing me out the door,
Kicking and screaming.

Please don't marry me,
Until you're sure im really dead,
And don't complain to me,
'Cause you won't get my sympathy.

Kicking and screaming like a child,
I'm out of control i'm running wild,
Kicking and screaming and I want more,
I've done things you cant ignore,
So drag me around swing me out the door.

Kicking and screaming like a child,
I'm out of control i'm running wild,
Kicking and screaming and I want more,
I've done things you cant ignore,
So drag me around swing me out the door,
Kicking and Screaming.

You say you want me to say "I'm sorry."
But I don't have to and I don't want to say it
'Cause I'm not sorry

I play the game and I can't really say that I like it
Can't really say that I hate it
Can't really say that I paid attention

When grey skies turn blue
I'll come back for you
My mind can't change my heart there's nothing I can do

When grey skies turn blue
When dreams do come true
Will you be the way that I remember you

You say that life with me is driving you crazy
But I don't see it and I don't want see
So I, I must be crazy

I didn't mean a thing when I said "Nothing is fleeting."
The word rebeating (The word rebeating)
The word's rebeating (The words rebeating)

When grey skies turn blue
I'll come back for you
My mind can't change my heart there's nothing I can do

When grey skies turn blue
When dreams do come true
Will you be the way that I remember you

The cold wind on my face
Is the only thing I felt
In such a long time
In such a long time
It's been a long time
Yeah, yeah

Yeah

When grey skies turn blue
I'll come back for you
My mind can't change my heart there's nothing I can do

When grey skies turn blue
When dreams do come true
Will you be the way that I remember you

Will you be the way that I remember you

Stack your bricks up to the sky,
Name each one and throw them high,
The trouble with trouble is it comes down fast,
So watch out where you're goin' or you just won't last,
(WOW-OH!!!)

[Chorus:]
You're an emotional anarchist,
You're pissed cause you've never been kissed,
You're drowning in a sea of anarchy,
With your heart above your patches and a faith in democracy.

Cover your eyes and block your ears,
We've been lied to all these years,
The trouble with trouble is you had a good time,
You knew what you were doin' at the scene of the crime,
(WOW-OH!!)

[Chorus]

[Interlude Part:]
Ashes To Ashes,
We All Fall Down

[Chorus x2]

Oh how I missed you,
Oh how I needed you today,
Oh how I missed you,
Oh how I needed you today,

'Cause life is like a waste of time,
When you're not by my side,
When you're not on this ride,

So pack your bags there's nothing to it,
Call in sick and stay,
With me everyday,
Call in sick and run away.

Have you been dreaming?
Have you been wondering the same?
Oh how I missed you,
Oh how I needed you today,
It's never felt more to see your face,
To wake up next to you,
Inside your roaming grace.

So pack your bags there's nothing to it,
Call in sick and stay,
With me everyday,
Call in sick and run away.
Call in sick and be,
On the run with me,
Call in sick and run away, away, with me.

I've spent and i'm tired of getting bent,
And i'm tired of always looking forward to a better day.

I've spent and I hate feeling so used
And I hate my attitude,
I've gone and lost and run away

(Call in sick and stay,With me
everyday,Call in sick and run away.)

So pack your bags there's nothing to it,
Call in sick and stay,
With me everyday,
Call in sick and run away.
Call in sick and be,
On the run with me,
Call in sick and run away, away, with me.
Runaway with me.

Get Me Out
I don't wanna move, I just wanna lay here
Shacky hands, sweaty sheets, can't get my mind in gear
My legs went numb 3hours ago
Blank starw, don't care what you think you know
Get me out!
I'm feeling around, alone in the dark
Can't find the switch, all I need is a spark or a match
To find a way out, just a silver of light
I'll crawl and I'll fight and I'll scratch and I'll bite
Get me out!

drawing closer, end of days, with much still left undone
even as i turn this phrase, the end has now begun
history is history, tomorrow never comes
today's the only day we have, and now that day is done

waiting for the world to end
searching for the signs, devastation right on time
waiting for the world to end
ignoring what's been said, blind to rivers running red
the doc did what he could, but we've lost to much blood

large staring eyes that love surprises
the silence before sunrise, when you've paid the highest prices
it's too late to open your eyes
history is history, tomorrow never comes
today's the only day we have, and now that day is done

the blood in my veins burning aflame [repeated a lot]

all creation will collide then begin again

This weekend, we'll have a ball,
We'll hit the town and see it all,
So let's go out on Friday night,
We'll go see a show, or get in a fight.

So hold on tightly to me,
We're going for a ride,
In the sound (In the sound) of the stereo,
Let the rhythm (Let the rhythm),
Let it take control of you,
'Cause you ain't got nothing to lose.

It's nice enough for the drive-in,
Watching movies with my friends,
Or times are good, and times are bad,
But these are the best times that I've ever had.

So hold on tightly to me,
We're going for a ride,
In the sound (In the sound) of the stereo,
Let the rhythm (Let the rhythm),
Let it take control of you,
Don't say this isn't happening,
'Cause you ain't got nothing to lose.

One of these days I'll be out of your way,
And you can rest your head...
One of these days I'll be out of your way,
and leave my weds unsaid.

Don't let, Don't let, Don't let go ,
Of the sound (of the sound),
Coming out your stereo,
Let the rhythm (Let the rhythm)
Let it take control of you,
Don't say this isn't happening,
'Cause this is your weekend,
'Cause you ain't got nothing to lose.

I feel like I'm lost and there's no going back,
To the place where I know I belong.
I’ve changed through the years like we all knew we would,
And now wonder if this change has been good.

Falling faster all the time, stepping further passed that line.
If all the air has left the room, slowly sinking in this tomb.

Arrest me, control me, don't act like you don't know me.
Stepping out or stepping in, ready to begin again.

Saw the wake yet there's a haze over my eyes.
This will be a hard one to disguise.
I start the day in focus, but it ends up blurred.
Like a Romesque language, I can't read a word.

Falling faster all the time, stepping further passed that line.
If all the air has left the room, slowly sinking in this tomb.

Arrest me, control me, don't act like you don't know me.
Stepping out or stepping in, ready to begin again.
And I'll be your patient, a product of environment.
Truth can be so hard to see when the heart and mind is warm and free.

I feel like I'm lost and there's no going back,
To the place where I know I belong.
I’ve changed through the years like we all knew we would,
And now wonder if this change has been good.

I admit it I'm a jerk and I'm taking all the blame.
I'll take it like a man, I'll run into the flames.
I ask, I plead, I beg, I need.

Don't let me die of broken hearts disease.
Don't let me down, I'm begging darling please.

Nothing's ever worth all the pain I always cause.
I do the dumbest things then try to win back your applause.
I plead, I cry, You said goodbye.

Don't let me die of broken hearts disease.
Don't let me down, I'm begging darling please.

Here lies my legacy, all my hopes and dreams, for everyone to see.
Here lies my defeated heart, fighting this disease, for everyone to see.
For everyone to see.

I admit it I'm a jerk and I've ruined both our lives.
Now I spend my days trying to analyze,
Where I went wrong and wrote this song.

Don't let me die of broken hearts disease.
Don't let me down, I'm begging darling please.

Don't make me cry, I'm down here on my knees.
Don't let me die of broken hearts disease.
