Rooster Album

When I wake and the sky seems to
break,
And the bang in my head is my heart
just trying to keep me alive,
Then I rise and the room starts to
shake,
And I'm walking on glass trying to
remember,
Trying to get straight when all I
wanna do is cut back the tape,
Replay last night with you,
Feel what its like to flip out,
Be surrounded by sounds of the
crowd,
Carry me away now,

Bridge:
I don't know why, we're in this
situation,
And I don't know how there's
something missing,

Chorus:
No point living when you don't know
you're alive,
Follow you 'cos only you take me up
this high,
Don't need no complications when I
only want to fly,
Cos it's beautiful just playing with
you,
Take me on a joyride,

I like the way you abuse my mind,
Abuse me all the time paranoid
you're gonna leave me behind,
Resonate like a bass when you
pulling my strings even tighter,
Think I'm overheating,
Barely 19 but you know what I
mean,
When I fail to describe this place
where I've been living,
Trying to stay strong when you're
dragging me on,
With complete disregard for anything
that's wrong yeah,

Bridge:

Chorus:

Look at my face what have you
done,
Do you see yourself in my reflection?
Tumbling down out of control,
Nothing to lose this is where it came
from,
Follow you 'cos only you could take
me up this high,

Chorus:

Baby it don't matter,
Anyone can see the signs,
I caught you looking over,
With just a little bit of a smile,
You tell him that you love him,
While I'm running through your mind,
'Cos I know that you know,
Your cover will blow,
It's only a matter of time,

Brisdge:
It's not my style,
To try and cheat and lie,
Why do you sanctify,
Something that already died?
I've got something that'll bring you
alive,

Chorus:
Are you gonna shout it from the
rooftops honey?
Tell me I'm the only one,
Kick him to the curb baby don't stop
running,
Tell me are you gonna come get
some,
Did you ever ask yuorself the
question,
Where the hell did I go wrong?
'Cos you know when it's through I'll
be waiting for you,
So tell me how you're gonna come
come get some?

All those words you're wasting,
Trying to tell yourself you need more
time,
What's the point in fakin'
when you know you'll never make it
right,
you say your head is blurry,
but I can't get you out of mine,
I don't mean to cause pressure,
But I just can't let you go on while
you're living this lie,

Bridge:

Chorus:

Crushed out and waiting,
Blacked out and fading'
Flaked out and shaken'
Just breaking for you,
Breaking for you,
Freaked out and pacing,
I can't go on like this forever.....

Chorus:

I spent a lifetime searching
For what I thought I'd found
But you are just the same
It's still a losing game
I'm a face out in the crowd

Bridge:
You love and you leave
Yeah you lie and deceive
How can you sleep at night
Say you're just having fun
We all think we're the one
What you're doing just aint right

Chorus:
I can't do it
I won't say it
My heart is breaking but I won't let
you know
I can't show it
I wont lose it
My body's shaking and I'm ready to
roll
Am I just standing in line
Are you just wasting my time

So you're just an illusion
Breathing the best of me
Got games to slow me down
Stop messing me around
Thought you were here to set me
free

Bridge:
You love and you leave
Yeah you lie and deceive
How can you sleep at night
Say you're just having fun
We all think we're the one
What you're doing just aint right

Chorus:
I can't do it
I won't say it
My heart is breaking but I won't let
you know
I can't show it
I wont lose it
My body's shaking and I'm ready to
roll
I can't do it
I won't say it
My heart is breaking but I won't let
you know
I can't show it
I wont lose it
My body's shaking and I'm ready to
roll
Am I just standing in line
Are you just wasting my time.

Daylight on my shoulder
Makes me feel alive
You kept me standing in your
shadow
And it’s a cold cold place to hide

I’m running away from this messed
up place
I’m breaking free, yeah yeah

I’m tired of staring at the sun
Can’t stand the way you burn my
eyes so I can’t see
Stealing every breath I breathe
You push me into overdrive
And I don’t need this kind of light coz
now I’m done
You took everything while I was
staring at the sun

I know you won’t let me
But just turn and walk away
I’m tired of when you kick me around
Trying to kill my dreams and break
me down
But I won’t hang around

I’m running away from this messed
up place
I’m breaking free, yeah yeah

I’m tired of staring at the sun
Can’t stand the way you burn my
eyes so I can’t see
Stealing every breath I breathe
You push me into overdrive
And I don’t need this kind of light coz
now I’m done
You took everything while I was
staring at the sun
I was staring at the sun

Daylight on my shoulder
I know its time to run
Yes I know its time to run

I’m tired of staring at the sun
Can’t stand the way you burn my
eyes so I can’t see
Stealing every breath I breathe
(stealing every breath I breathe)
You push me into overdrive
And I don’t need this kind of light coz
now I’m done
You took everything while I was
staring at the sun
Yeah, yeah staring at the sun
You took everything while I was
staring at the sun

How can it hurt, When i feel no pain?
How can it heal, if i look the same?

I've been searching all my mornings,
for the last breath of a dream
Are you drowning or just waving,
cause im tearing at the seams

I wanna live, and i wanna breathe
Always thought you'd be the one to
set me free
But i can forgive, cause you bring me
believe in something more
Now i only want to live if i can find
Find somebody to die for
Find somebody to die for

How can you lose, if its not a game?
How can you love, if you're never
gonna change?

I've been searching all my mornings,
for the last breath of a dream
Are you drowning or just waving,
cause im tearing at the seams

I wanna live, and i wanna breathe
Always thought you'd be the one to
set me free
But i can forgive, cause u bring me
believe in something more
Now i only want to live if i can find
Find somebody to die for

Gotta find my way, through this
maze of my desire
Come what may, bitter love or
wasted time
You might say, i'm chasing shadows
in my mind
But theres a light that guides my
way to all i live for
Somebody to die for

I wanna live, and i wanna breathe
Always thought you'd be the one to
set me free
But i can forgive, cause u bring me
believe in something more
Now i only want to live if i can find
Find somebody to die for, i need
more, i want more, gotta need
something more

I wanna live, and i wanna breathe
Always thought you'd be the one to
set me free
But i can forgive, cause u bring me
believe in something more
Now i only want to live if i can find
Find somebody to die for
Find somebody to die for
Find somebody to die for
Find somebody to die for

Well i lost my faith in fellow man
I've been living alone for so long
That i dont know who i am
Why did it take so long?
Why did it take so long?

I've been waiting a lifetime
For someone like you to set me free
Why did it take so long?
For you to come and rescue me
Why did it take so long?
Why did it take so long?

Cause you're beautiful and everyone
knows it
And you're everything i want you to
be
I got sunshine on my face
My smile shows it
Well it can't be wrong
Cause you're so right for me

You're so right for me,
Yeah, yeah
You're so right for me

Well it just don't matter if its wrong
or right
I didnt know something could feel so
good
I've been wasting all my time
Why did it take so long?
Why did it take so long?

Cause you're beautiful and everyone
knows it
And you're everything i want you to
be
I got sunshine on my face
My smile shows it
Well it can't be wrong
Cause you're so right for me
You're so right for me, you're so
right for me
Repeat to fade

Sick and tired of being broke
Theres no way out, it's such a joke
Can't get out of the red, on the
bread line
Gonna dive in deep, it's the perfect
crime

Like a beggar like a thief
To get a break's like pulling teeth
I could try to make it but they're
begging me to borrow
Spend, spend, spend like there's no
tomorrow

Bridge:
Acting like you're loaded
Knowing that you're broke
When you got a load of nothing
It can't go up in smoke

Chorus:
Want to go platinum blind
Max it out - I'm gonna blow my mind
Tear it up - and I just can't win
Tired of looking from the outside in

Want to lose the plot
Spend some money that I aint got
(it's a money trap)
Well it tastes so fine
Because you can't see nothing when
your platinum blind

It's not about the finer things
Just need that buzz that plastic
brings
Got to live it up like a rich man
Other people's money running
through my hands

Pay it off but what's the use
Why tighten my belt - feels like a
noose
Something out of nothing take the
rap whenever
Cash my cheques at the bank and
never never

Bridge

Chorus

Falling... going to hit the ground
Deeper... think I'm gonna drown
Now im itching, cos there's no one
else around
Got to get another hit cause I think
I'm coming down

Chorus

I, I don't know why I miss you so
much
Yeah I, I don't know why I still feel
your touch
You, you left me feeling high and dry
With nothing, nothing but the
queston why

Yeah you, I guess you had another
direction
And leaving me with nothing but a
dead connection

Chorus:
If you call me today
I'll say that I'm fine
But I bet you can tell by the tone of
my voice
It's just a lie
You knew what you had
You still walked away leaving me in
this mess
My love for you is deep and
meaningless

You, you knew what you were doing
to me
And I, I guess I was too blind to see
Well you hit where it hurt and you
fooled me so bad
But I'd do it again to relive what we
had
(Damn that's sad)

There are many things left to remind
me
Of a love that I just can't leave
behind me

Chorus (Repeat)

Standing there
I could feel it happening
It happened to be happening to you
and me
Took me off my feet
Made me pursue it
Now you tell me you're not mine
exclusively

So i push you to one side

And then i see you again
And that look is in your eyes
You blew my mind but it wasn't real
So i'm back and on the road again

Life rolls on
And i'm rolling with it
Never worried by the troubles of
company
Sometimes it sparks, sometimes it
doesnt
But i'm happy there's no dreaming of
you and me

So i push you to one side

And then i see you again
And that look is in your eyes
You blew my mind but it wasn't real
So i'm back and on the road again

So i pushed you to one side
And i finally got you out of my life
Now i've opened my eyes
Then i see you again
And that look's still in your eyes
Yeah you blew my mind
But you know it wasn't real

And then i see you again
And that look is in your eyes
You blew my mind but it wasn't real
So i'm back and on the road again

She's got killer smile
She's got devils eyes
She lives wicked wild
Wants me to take her home with me
tonight
Struts with confidence
Stood still, turning heads
Well hell yeah, she looks so fine
But theres nothing going on, inside
that mind

There was a time in my life, when it
was all i desired
When that was enough, but now i
want everything, everything
Yeah, yeah

She dont have what i need, she dont
know just how to
So shes got the money, she dont
make me feel
Like i'm alive, i'm alive
Like i'm alive, like i'm alive

All heat, sparks and fire
Its just smoke to cloud your eyes
In the morning, when the flame is
dead and gone
You'll see, something in this picure's
wrong

There was a time in my life, when it
was all i desired
When that was enough, but now i
want everything, everything
Yeah, yeah

She dont have what i need, she dont
know just how to please
So shes got the money, she dont
make me feel
Like i'm alive, i'm alive
Like i'm alive, like i'm alive

She should be my perfect ten, over
ride my common sense
But she aint got no conversation, so
all i feel is this frustration

She dont have what i need, she dont
know just how to
So shes got the money, she dont
make me feel

She dont have what i need, she dont
know just how to
So shes got the money, she dont
make me feel, she dont make me feel
Like i'm alive, i'm alive, like i'm alive,
like i'm alive

You and I, we were one
And i swore i'd stay forever
But they say all good things come to
an end, my friend
Now its time to move on, but dont
think that this is easy
Cause its hard to be leaving you
behind, but you'll be fine

Oh, so if you believe, say a prayer
for me
I wont be here tomorrow,
somewhere i gotta be
Things you want to say, save it for
another day
Cause i can hear the angels calling,
angels calling for me

Does it help, if i say
That i'm really truely sorry, and that i
never meant for it to end, this way
There's a place in your heart, where
you know you'll always fid me
And i'll be wherever you are, near or
far

Oh, so if you believe, say a prayer
for me
I wont be here tomorrow,
somewhere i gotta be
Things you want to say, save it for
another day
Cause i can hear the angels calling
Angels calling for me

Oh, so if you believe, say a prayer
for me
I wont be here tomorrow,
somewhere i gotta be
Things you want to say, save it for
another day
Cause i can hear the angels calling
Angels calling for me

But you and I, we were one
And i swore i'd stay forever
But they say all good things come to
an end...

[V1]
Wanna be's and Gonna be's
Is this the day that you're gonna
seize
Or maybe just sit around waiting for
that call
Time is cheap but it ain't free
Let another day just fall through me
Winding up staying up staring at the
wall

[B]
Feel the motion cos you head is
spinning like a top
Taste the ocean cos the flavour's
there in every drop

[C]
You told me that all of your angels
and demons
Are constantly kicking and fighting
and screaming
There’s no light and there's no sound
Bet you wanna drag the sunrise
down
You tell me it feels like your running
in circles
And all the time they keep raising the
hurdles
Out of sight and under ground
You're dreaming you're gonna drag
the sunrise down

[V2]
You know the light can hypnotise
So shut it out and close your eyes
You're paranoid, can't avoid, living in
denial
You curse the sun it fills the sky
Spiralling down as it passes by
Dreaming and scheming and sinking
in the night

[B]
Feel the motion cos you head is
spinning like a top
Taste the ocean cos the flavour's
there in every drop

[C]
You told me that all of your angels
and demons
Are constantly kicking and fighting
and screaming
There’s no light and there's no sound
Bet you wanna drag the sunrise
down
You tell me it feels like your running
in circles
And all the time they keep raising the
hurdles
Out of sight and under ground
You're dreaming you're gonna drag
the sunrise down

[M8]
Time is on your side
You hide behind the tainted smile
But it' s there deep in your eyes
Drop the blade and look inside
Only you can find the light

[C]
You told me that all of your angels
and demons
Are constantly kicking and fighting
and screaming
There’s no light and there's no sound
Bet you wanna drag the sunrise
down
You tell me it feels like your running
in circles
And all the time they keep raising the
hurdles
Out of sight and under ground
You're dreaming you're gonna drag
the sunrise
You told me that all of your angels
and demons
Are constantly kicking and fighting
and screaming
There’s no light and there's no sound
Bet you wanna drag the sunrise
down
You tell me it feels like your running
in circles
And all the time they keep raising the
hurdles
Out of sight and under ground
You're dreaming you're gonna drag
the sunrise
