I sold my soul for you.
You cut my life in two.
Nightmares from what I've seen and where I've been
made me run from you again.

Controlling, Big Brothers eye.
Containment? I'd rather die

we're all part of new generation
sold our souls to the next temptation
lead us not to our own damnation

I've seen what harted brings.
I've seen the flesh of kings
Blinded my eyes my mouth you've sewn it shut
protecting me from fucking Up?

Controlling, Big Brothers eye.
Containment? I'd rather die

we're all part of new generation
sold our souls to the next temptation
lead us not to our own damnation (x4)

new generation (x3)

I feel the things I said but never said how I felt
I know I waited much to long
could I get it in your head without a hit below the belt
looking back it seems that I went about it all wrong.

Lying alone in the bed we made
watching headlights on the shade
the ghost thats sleeping by your side
are my promises to you that died.
to you that died.

Was it long ago when forever was our friend
but now freedoms what i feel inside
It hurts so much to let you go
to know we'll never touch again
when i walk if I fall down Can I take it in stride?

Lying alone in the bed we made
watching headlights on the shade
the ghost thats sleeping by your side
are my promises to you that died.
to you that died.

I might let you go but I'll never go away
I might let you go but I'll never go away

I feel the things I said but never said how I felt
I know I waited much to long

Lying alone in the bed we made
watching headlights on the shade
the ghost thats sleeping by your side
are my promises to you that died.
Lying alone in the bed we made
watching headlights on the shade
the ghost thats sleeping by your side
are my promises to you that died.

to you that died (x2)

Everything's changed
all ties are strained...to say the least
concepts deranged

It's just the way I see you
I only see the real you

You can't swallow me
i'm jagged as the pill you choke on
you can't swallow me
as long as I can see the real you

I can't be blamed
to feel this way no more
everything's changed

It's just the way I see you
I only see the real you

You can't swallow me
i'm jagged as the pill you choke on
you can't swallow me
as long as I can see the real you
the real you
the real you

I won't let you pull me down
I got my shit together now
I won't let you pull me down
I got my shit together

It's just the way I see you
I only see the real you

You can't swallow me
i'm jagged as the pill you choke on
you can't swallow me
as long as I can see

Everything's changed
all ties are strained (to say the least)
everything's changed

. . .


As the day breaks through the doorway
and im still chained to this house
but you call me and i follow
and act like im so proud
still reading the sidewalk
and it smells like morning news
and i dont know
Why i still cant seem to pull away from you

Watch the windows
time means nothing
Watch the windows
til i see you coming

Born a beggar will you ever
see me more than Pavlovs hungry dog
see no colors live another
day to feed on everything you are

When the day sleeps and the sunshine
no longer burns my eyes
and the sound of your footsteps
is the only thing that lies
between me and the feeling
that life is these four walls
that cage me completely
just waiting on your call

Watch the windows
time means nothing
Watch the windows
til i see you coming

Born a beggar will you ever
see me more than Pavlovs hungry dog
see no colors live another
day to feed on everything you are
on everything you are

I run for you and fall so hard
my secrets are buried in the yard

Born a beggar will you ever
see me more than Pavlovs hungry dog
see no colors live another
day to feed on everything you are
Born a beggar will you ever
see me more than Pavlovs hungry dog
see no colors live another
day to feed on everything you are
on everything you are
on everything you are
on everything you are

Eightball hanging overhead flushed out like Frankenstien
one more for the living dead thats not me this time
knocked down I've been down before yet still we bare the load
if I would want it anymore I just might explode

All your heroes have died and left you to
rise from the ashes and live for today

Can you take it all when we're standing tall
we don't need a wall built around us
Jump into the flame one and all the same we won't feel the pain
Thick is the Skin Thick is the skin Yeah

Outside still looking in I'll keep what I've made mine
timebomb strapped to my chin step down or fall in line

All your heroes have died and left you to
rise from the ashes and live for today

Can you take it all when we're standing tall
we don't need a wall built around us
Jump into the flame one and all the same we won't feel the pain
Thick is the Skin Thick is the Skin Yeah

Hey (x15)

Can you take it all when we're standing tall
we don't need a wall built around us
Jump into the flame one and all the same we won't feel the pain
Thick is the Skin

Can you take it all when we're standing tall
we don't need a wall built around us
Jump into the flame one and all the same we won't feel the pain
Thick is the Skin Thick is the Skin
Thick is the Skin Thick is the Skin Yeah

Hey (15)

. . .


I never promised you the sunshine
you never handed me the moon
we're pulling threads out of our faded silver lining
we've grown out of our cocoon

The last train is leaving
there's nothing more than I can say
I didn't mean to bring you down
I guess I'll see you around

I left the best of my intentions
Took it one day at a time
its not like all is lost or that the world is ending
We've just fallen from the vine.

The last train is leaving
there's nothing more than I can say
I didn't mean to bring you down
I guess I'll see you around

Whatever direction we go
rest assured the one thing we know
just really didn't go our way

its not like all is lost or that the world is ending
We've just fallen from the vine.

The last train is leaving
there's nothing more than I can say
I didn't mean to bring you down
The last train is leaving
there's nothing more than I can say
I didn't mean to bring you down
I guess I'll see you around

. . .


You're testing my patience
I've got nothing but time
You'll never break down the wasll in my mind
Your fetishes are nothing more than a game
When I truly test your threshold of pain
Let me be in you ceremony
Burn me in your ritual
I can rise with you below me
We'll walk in time as we fall into the mouth of

voodoo
Then we can shine, shine, shine
And I'm sure the sun won't mind
Then we can shine, shine, shine
Your love is so blinding
My lust is a curse
It's painful to wonder but waiting is worse
You're sticking your pins now
It's taking its toll
Crush and obsession leave scars on your soul

. . .


Theres a sound in my head. Holy wine, breakin' bread
between time and what we said drifts the innocence we've shed.
In this moment there's day for a sad and broken babe.
there's a fracture on this hallowed ground where we lay

One light burns, one light fades.
Behind the door are better days.
When the light shines on me
I'll know the world still turns.

One light burns (x2)

There's prayer on the wall. One by one say them all.
Why we run before we crawl stands the reasons that we fall
In the flower there's a field. Sublime but so surreal.
there's a fracture on this sacred ground to be healed

One light burns, one light fades.
Behind the door are better days.
When the light shines on me
I'll know the world still turns.

One light burns (x3)

One light burns, one light fades.
Behind the door are better days.
When the light shines on me
I'll know the world still turns. (x3)

One light burns (One light burns) (x3)
One light burns

. . .


Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
But when you needed me I came through
And when you needed me I came through

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand?
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, to every endless day
I wanna hear you say I remember you

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind but you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand?
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, to every endless day
I wanna hear you say I remember you

We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand?
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, to every endless day
I wanna hear you say I remember you
Remember you
Remember you
Remember you
Remember you
Remember you
Remember you
You you you you you
1 2 3 4!

I have been here for so long I've carried all the wait
'til something pulls me underneath the tide.
Climb to where the air is thin so I can breath again.
still it makes me wonder deep inside.

Nothin's free, no-one bleeds, We're all machines.

Shadows of your sins are following you.
When it sucks you in it's swallowing you,
King of the mountain thats what I am.
Everybodys someone elses sacrificial lamb.

Space between the world and me, defying gravity
'til something pulls me closer to the ground.
Drink the chemicals we spill. our eye is on the kill
while hell is freezing over, over.

Nothin's free, no-one bleeds, We're all machines

Shadows of your sins are following you.
When it sucks you in its swallowing you,
King of the mountain thats what I am.
Everybodys someone elses sacrificial lamb.

Shadows of your sins are following you.
When it sucks you in its swallowing you,
King of the mountain thats what I am.
Everybodys someone elses sacrificial.

Shadows of your sins are following you.
When it sucks you in its swallowing you,
King of the mountain thats what I am.
Everybodys someone elses sacrificial lamb.

lamb

. . .


Building shrines to gods youll never know
praying for rain settling for snow.
Spinning out of times to beats impaired.
do you know your name do you even care?

Can you live your life staring at the lights naked on the ice?
if it comes to fast will you get it back when it all goes black?

Down. Goin down. Goin down from.
Down from underground.

Icons that you hail are all mechanical.
Feeling the pull lost in the fold
Digging through a hole of discontent
What did you learn? or did you forget?

Can you live your life staring at the lights naked on the ice?
if it comes to fast will you get it back when it all goes black?

Down. Goin down. Goin down from.
Down from underground. (x2)

And just what should real life be?
Why dont you show me the fiction of reality.
This so called life that I see and just what real life should be
cant be what you have shown me

if it comes to fast will you get it back when it all goes black?

Down. Goin down. Goin down from.
Down from underground. (x2)

. . .


peel me like dead skin
hate to the bone
drag you through my field of thorns
and drop you like a stone
hold me under water
kick me to the curb
all my wolves are at your door
take me at my word
hittin a wall we're hittin a wall
look at me and you're seeing a monster
you ain't seen it all
if you're almighty
holier than thou
seems we've got a discrepancy
we should solve it now
I've built a bigger mountain
now you want it gone
if you expect to beat me down
brother bring it on
you want to wrestle with my morals
you think there's something I can learn
you toss me out like an abortion
and I'm the one that fucking burns?
