I keep on my shoulders the weight of the world, but I broke when you asked for a ride.
I'll be outside. I guess you're just bored and you're boring like me, and if you don't keep me happy someone will. I'll be all right. I didn't know there's a rollercoaster in town. Been gone too long. I'm prepared for the ups and downs, but sometimes, yeah, sometimes you wanna get off.

I'll never feel the same again, but I wouldn't re-write anything. Let's hope your resolutions made.

. . .


Load up the flares and fire away.
Search without rescue.
Of all the times you looked out to sea,
you never stepped in.
Why wait for me?

Abandon ship.
Fend for yourself.
You've got that sinking feeling and nothing else.

Priorities change,
and hope fades away.
How did you get here?
At first you thought you had control,
now you're just following.
So lost again.

Abandon ship.
Fend for yourself.
You've got that sinking feeling and nothing else.

With the resources left in your heart,
of course you're afraid.
And all you did was break another tie.
And all of this can break another time.

Abandon ship.
Fend for yourself.
You've got that sinking feeling and nothing else.

. . .

Sleeper

[No lyrics]

. . .


I've seen my fair share of ghosts
but what scares me the most
is seeing what's coming.
Growing older and giving up,
and I won't believe it. I won't believe it.
With sit-down strikes and gutters tonight,
there's nothing left in this town.
We've all been sold, it's not rock and roll.
Don't beat us when we're down.

It's ok.
You didn't even listen in the first place.
Welcome back riders, it's another rat race.
All of your words are safe until the show,
and soon the world's gonna know.

An empty promise, so here's a toast.
From your empty office, no lawyer will take it.
This case is as good as closed
and I can't believe it, I can't believe it.
Away for years, and now you're here,
so tell them where you've been.
Wait in line, enjoy the ride.
It's coming back again.

It's ok.
You didn't even listen in the first place.
Welcome back riders, it's another rat race.
All of your words are safe until the show,
and soon the world's gonna know.

These streets are the same to me.
These songs won't mean anything without a place to call our home.
A place to call our own.
I'm staying tonight.
