I can′t stand the way you′ve forsaken me I see through the wicked games you′ve played with me Do you feel the suspicion stirring up? Can′t you see that they long to give you up?
Can′t you come lie with me? Forget about your fallacy. Seduce me with your fantasies Of passion and obscurity
I see that you can′t get away with this You can′t wave aside your lies with one more kiss Do you feel the suspicion stirring up? Can′t you see that they long to give you up?
Can′t you come lie with me? Forget about your fallacy. Seduce me with your fantasies Of passion and obscurity
I foresee that you′ll be with me Play with me as I do... I do with you
I can′t stand the way you have forsaken me I see through the reason of this fallacy
Can′t you come lie with me? Forget about your fallacy. Seduce me with your fantasies Of passion and obscurity Why can′t you come lie with me? Forget about your fallacy. Seduce me in your wildest dreams Of passion and conspiracy
How can we let this happen and Just keep our eyes closed ′till the end
The only thing that counts is the prosperity of today Most important to us is that our bills get paid
Our good intentions have always been delayed
How can we let this happen and Just keep our eyes closed ′till the end When we will stand in front of heaven′s gate It will be too late!
Try to unlearn all that you′ve learnt, try to listen to your heart No, we can′t understand the universe by just using our mind We are so afraid of all the things unknown
A must we appease is the lust to get laid Nothing really matters, just devouring our prey
Our good intentions have always been delayed so Our generous acts have always come too late
We are so afraid of all the things unknown We just flee into a dream that never comes true
Low to the ground we feel safe Low to the ground we feel brave
Oblivisci tempta quod didicisti
Open your eyes; we′re not in paradise How can′t you see, this stress is killing me Fulfil your dreams; life is not what is seems We have captured time so time made us all hostages without mercy
Seemingly generous fooling ourselves,
Selfishly venomous time tells
Too much thinking goes at the cost of all our intuition Our thoughts create reality But we neglect to be! So we′re already slaves of our artificial world We shouldn′t try to control life but listen to the laws of nature
We all think we′re generous But we only fool ourselves The only thing that matters is Our way and our vision
Selfishly we′re venomous But you know the time tells us There is more to life than our Higher positions, race for perfection Better, faster We must return to the laws of the nature Free ourselves from madness
The origin of a dogma Placed in a new millennium Vilified demons have been embraced And given a warm welcome
The Seif al Din Hasn′t got the ghost of a chance to rust Because it has always been kept in shape In serving th one Almighty
The rudiments have always been misinterpreted during history, despite the good intentions of many disciples who′s faithful believe was strong and unswayed. Most leaders interpret the old words to their advantage in the attempt of gaining leadership and power over those unfortunate enough to fall under their maliciousness and manipulative ways. This misuse of trust will forever stain the pages of history, echoing the exploitation and the frailty of decent men carried away by nurtured rancour...
Perpetual distrust fed by a belief In the malevolence of the others
When the beautiful unreality holds out its hand It′s better not to lose yourself in blind faith
When Darkness will reign and blind us all Allegiance will blind us if we do not fall
We cannot tell when morning comes Is there a choice to live another day? It′s hard to find a new direction in your fragile life
The precious time of your existence is now to come Don′t throw your life away by cheating time Sugared Placebos only fool your mind
Now I want the water to wash away all my sins The wind to blow away my thoughts without meaning The fire to burn away my thickened skin
Novas portas pandimus
What is the space, the type of dance? I cannot tell which steps I have to take I′d like to leave, just run away My feet are tangled up
So hard to face the pace of the clock What do you think; will it ever stop? So, will I fall and not get up? I take it all in stride
Everything has a reason for its happening Can′t you tell it′s your own spell and Everyone has to dance his dance like anyone Can′t break free of destiny
We should open new doors And close the ones that we′ve left behind
Novas portas pandimus, et post nos occludimus Novas portas pandimus et post nos occludimus
Living at different places Evading into various spaces My compass has broken I′m losing the way An ongoing madness has led me astray
My past breathes down my neck And it seems now that all I can do is Go back to beginnings when all lay ahead A fading illusion now plagues me instead
In me there′s still a place that fulfils me A sanctity here that I call home, I run to When winter descends If I try, can I find solid ground
I follow elusive paths Oh, it seems they′ve been written in stone And the door to a new life is closing so fast Burning the bridges will not bring me back
I know that in me there′s still a place that fulfils me A sanctity here that I call home, I run to When winter descends If I try, can I find solid ground Or am I just wasting time?
Comprehensive expressions of your social weakness Vented on your countless made up enemies
I cannot know how you feel When you don’t say anything
We don′t care what you say We′ll never join the games you play We won′t bleed for all your sins We never followed your way now so We don′t care anymore How you’ll perform your last encore
Your misplaced sense of superiority The result of your unbearable form of Vanity
I cannot know what you see When you don′t show anything;
We don′t care what you say We′ll never join the games you play We won′t bleed for all your sins We never followed your way now so We don′t care anymore How you’ll perform your last encore
I cannot know how you feel When you don’t say anything I cannot know what you see When you don′t show anything
We don′t care what you say We′ll never join the games you play We won′t bleed for all your sins We never followed your way now so We don′t care anymore How you’ll perform your last encore
Free my mind Heal my scars Erase the past Dark days to forget And memories to last In my heart
Free me now
Make me forget And forgive There′s no use To go on and live Show me a way To the sun
Heal my scars
Nothing will be forever gone Memories will stay and find their way What goes around will come around Don’t deny your fears So let them go and fade into light Give up the fight here
Let my eyes take in The beauty that′s here That’s left on this earth My ears long to hear A melody
Give me sight
Nothing will be forever gone Memories will stay and find their way What goes around will come around Don’t deny your fears So let them go and fade into light Give up the fight here
Poison is slowly seeping through my veins Stealing the only dignity in me
I pick them up and let them fall To cause your pain and hit them all [grunts]
One more life to live is what I want
I’ll take the joy away from them See to it, they will all be damned
One more chance to heal what I have harmed
The dragon is wreak havoc in my brain Plays my emotion, a never ending game
Nothing will be forever gone Memories will stay and find their way What goes around will come around Don’t deny your fears So let them go and fade into light Give up the fight here
One more life to live for me
I want the night just to colour the day The morning to chase all my nightmares away Don’t you deny that we′re all human beings We all have our flaws that can make ourself obscene
Obscene…
Give me what I want Give me what I need right now That’s what I want That’s what I need, get it!
Dolendo novit mortalis vitam
Tell me what I want Tell me what I need right now That’s what I want That’s all I need, cure me
Dolendo discit mori mortalis Losers
Nothing will be forever gone Memories will stay and find their way What goes around will come around Don’t deny your fears So let them go and fade into light Give up the fight here

Speaking interpretation A conversation can take a sudden turn And reaching the point of violence Because your silence left you without a hand to hold
Your past will lead you on to make...
Making a final judgement Based on your bias will never bring you forward Terror should never guide you For even the fearful can take a beating in the end
Suspicion gets you nowhere
Those who denounce a way of life Will stand alone Left to atone their social blunders If you gun down the messenger You guarantee that he will be made Into a saint A martyr of the free word
I will say I will say what I think I will do I will do what I say When liberty seems out of reach We′ll fight for our freedom of speech
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis
Missing a simple context A mental weakness can throw you out of balance Listen, respect each other Then you′ll discover It wasn′t [...] It′s not too late for mercy
Those who denounce a way of life Will stand alone Left to atone their social blunders If you gun down the messenger You guarantee that he will be made Into a saint A martyr of the free word
I will say I will say what I think I will do I will do what I say When liberty seems out of reach We′ll fight for our freedom of speech
Memories that fade away Have not left their mark But you live on, every single day In many different ways
It′s the truth between his cunning lips That hands him his suspicious alibis Persuading with your force will never be the way To our destiny
Suddenly we′ve lost the force To close our cursed doors No one seems to realise That wolves are in disguise
It′s the truth between his cunning lips That hands him his suspicious alibis Persuading with your force will never be the way To our destiny
Your engine was so strong But the road was just too long Hope is not the end So never lose the faith
As long as we can say They can never take away Our freedom, the most precious thing we′ve ever had The reward from the blood, we′ve ever shed
His quest for higher truth, life of eternal youth has just begun, in spite of being on the run Many virgins wait for him to come Persuading with your force will never be the way To our destiny Our destiny
Do not use the past as an alibi For all of your deficiencies always standing by Face your negligence, do not fool yourself Shortcomings will soon appear For weakness shows itself
Blind from your success and all of the excess Deaf from the praise you had
Don’t cry out of self pity in forcing your way through For I will not be vulnerable to slander made by you
Blind from your success and all of the excess Deaf from the praise you had
In a misty veil, misplaced Where castles in the air will be no longer seen As something out of reach In time the dream will be erased So many things will never be the way they seemed And pride will have it’s fall at last Her eyes fell while the shame was written on her face When she realised that her failures could never be undone again
You did not notice the manipulated hand That overshadowed your thoughts all those years That made you insecure You did not notice the ancient shifting sand That pulls you down into an everlasting sham You will never be able to fight Never be able to hide Run for a fall, you’d better run
Blind from your success and all of the excess Deaf from the praise you had
In a misty veil, misplaced Where castles in the air will be no longer seen As something out of reach In time the dream will be erased So many things will never be the way they seemed And pride will have it’s fall at last
Keep hiding All colors fading Desiring They′re coming for me
Back in the day I can recall that, My thoughts were unclouded and saint There was no black state in the walls of my memory Now there′s a haze pushing me side a ways,
And leaving me nothing to gain Taking me back, lurking me cold in disparity
There was I meant to be I feel I′m lost in a dream Long for the day I can be myself
When I′m free When my sun has set Release my soul forever I have no regret to be free I′ll exists again No more lost endeavor Nothing to contain When I′m free
Call and decline so it defines me It′s falling away far behind Nothing to keep me with the time The human eye
Where am I meant to be? I feel I′m lost in a dream Again and again only to be myself
Time is a concept and always the first thing to fade Hiding in a weakness something we can never retain Years of crawl –– decay and despair Are we a wrong perception something we can never regainepair
No one to blame, facing me random Nothing will ever explain, so it reclines
Where was I meant to be I feel I′m lost in a dream Long for the day I can be myself
When will I be unleashed It′s not the way it should be Again and again only to be myself
Trying to keep myself afloat upon this stream But a thought is pulling me down Pulling me all the way down
We are wandering towards a blank infinity And extinguishing will now be the only way to diminish your sins This vortex can′t be filled up again A hole in space and time
Do you cry to the heaven′s high when you′re confined in here? Do you not ever wonder why these leaden tears will never dry? They′ll leave behind so many shadows in my mind
High in the sky, all of the clouds are passing by Wait for this storm, wait for the rain, and wait for the tears to fall down on me
Do you cry to the heaven′s high when you′re confined in here? Do you not ever wonder why these leaden tears will never dry? They′ll leave behind so many shadows Living in me, living in all the memories in my life
Do you wonder why These tears never dry Time forced into life Living in my mind
Can we ever find a way in t his labyrinth without end?
Labyrinth has no end
Which turn should I take? Left or right? Should I stay? Should I be the one?
I can’t see you, I can’t hear you Do you still exist?
I can’t feel you, I can’t touch you, Do you exist?
The Phantom Agony
I can’t taste you, I can’t think of you, Do we exist at all?
[II. Between hope and despair]
The future doesn’t pass And the past won’t overtake the present All that remains is an obsolete illusion
We are afraid of all the things that could not be A phantom agony
Do we dream at night Or do we share the same old fantasy? I am a silhouette of the persen wandering in my dreams
Tears of unprecedented beauty Reveal the truth of existence We’re all sadists
The age-old development of consciousness Drives us away from the essence of life We meditate too much, so that our instincts will fade away They fade away
What’s the point of life And what’s the meaning if we all die in the end? Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?
Tears of unprecedented beauty Reveal the truth of existence We’re all pessimists
Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me What we get is what we see, the Phantom Agony
[III. Nevermore]
The lucidity of my mind has been revealde in new dreams I am able to travel where my heart goes In search of self-realisation
This is the way to escape from our agitation And develop ourselves Use your illusion and enter my dream...
You were always there to hold my hand When times were hard to understand But now the tides of time have turned They keep changing
Seasons range, but you remain the same A steady heart, a sun to reign You′ll be the light that′s shining bright High above me
Autumn cold, losing heart
We′re leaves meant to fall There′s a meaning to all That fades
Freezing winds were stained by warming words That touch your healing to the heart That treasure every lesson learned ′til they immerse
Fight her face Wash his pain
We will answer the call There′s a meaning to all
Sing forth Malachi To sow along earth dreams Filling needs that can be as perfect alone
Frail is our beauty in the end But all we count is sentiment A memory stays to guide the way and whisper Don′t lose sight, don′t deny
We′re leaves meant to fall There′s a meaning to all
Sing forth Malachi To sow along earth dreams Filling needs that can be as perfect alone A symphony resulting in our minds Guides us through what we knew Uncovered in life
Sometimes I feel like I don′t have the words Sometimes I feel like I′m not being her And then I fear I′m feeling nothing more
Sometimes I feel I don′t want to change And think we all have to rearrange And now I feel there′s no more losing me
Sing forth Malachi To sow along earth dreams Filling needs that can be as perfect alone A symphony resulting in our minds Guides through – Cause you hear me As you do – As you lead me Making sure once we all uncover it all
Born to fight, and we′re born to flee Doomed to live on ecstasy Born to lie, and we′re born to cheat Look in the mirror, who do you see?
Born to flee, and we′re born to fight Without your mask, you′re terrified Don′t hide your personality That′s who you are, your identity
If the virtues of tomorrow Cause the greed of today We won′t have a future Nor liberty
Born to breathe, and we′re born to pursue That′s all we are supposed to do The semblance of our liberty Is nothing more than slavery
Born to flee, and we′re born to fight Is it failure that′s our delight? Born to cheat, and we′re born to lie Look at yourself, have you lost your mind?
If the virtues of tomorrow Cause the greed of today We won′t have a future And no more liberty
If the virtues of tomorrow Set the need on the way We won′t have a future nor liberty
Private vice leads to public virtue
Raised to think that we are free Living in our caves Being slaves
We lost control of our lives At the mercy of the waves Massive waves
Blind to see what′s going on Conditioned as we are And we are
We lost control of our greed But now we face it all Face our fall
Keeping all that we′ve created And consuming all that′s possible Reaching deep into temptation Nothing can stop us
Guarantee our hard-earned profits Multiplied ten-fold if possible Reaching out for new redemption Nothing avails our needs
My opponent won′t rule out raising taxes. But I will, and The Congress will push me to raise taxes and I′ll say no. And they′ll push, and I′ll say no, and they′ll push again, and I′ll say to them: Read my lips [George H. W. Bush]
If the virtues of tomorrow Set the need on the way We never had a future anyway We had no future ′till today
If we could see ourselves, the mirror would reflect insanity Instead we camouflage the flaws that lie within Condone the suffering we witness as we mingle casually We need to right ourselves, or else we will derail
Aiming too high You are bound to fail Patience is a vital virtue That you′ll never have
Don′t force me to believe We′re caught up in the greed ′cause I just care for me To break it, we′ll need everyone Think it through: unite is the only way
A raging tragedy ignored will have its justice, finally Distress and poverty is everyone′s disease We′ll come to realise for all we′ve done there is a price to pay Yet hope is never lost, there always is a way
Trumping the game Is no easy way Enterprise and discipline Will pay off in the end
If we ever could look into fate′s mirror We would never have ended up here We′re distracted by every sin committed It should always be ever so clear
If we ever look We would never be here
Don′t force me to believe I′m never needing anyone I only care for me I′m thinking through And mine′s the only way
We are caught up In our failure Now our union Is our savior It′s the only way
If we ever We would never If we′re clever We′re together
Feel so warm when you are near You are all I want to feel Tell me now: is this for real? Its hard to breathe...
Were all lost in travel time Cannot find my peace of mind When the sun will rise again Well fly away
Take the stairs to the stars Wander long Travel far Someday
A summer breeze makes All of our winters freeze Autumn leaves Theres no chance for springs romance We linger on but leave the past behind us Old lovers live it on new
Windows open up to life Put your worries all aside Sacred silence closes doors For open eyes
Take the stairs to the stars Wander long Travel far Someday Away
A summer breeze makes All of our winters freeze Autumn leaves Theres no chance for springs romance We linger on but leave the past behind us Old lovers live it on new But chances are so few And choices are so true
Can′t you hear me screaming, once again? Voices you can′t hear Because you are consumed and incontent With everlasting greed
Don′t you see me on my hands and knees? Begging and bleeding You′re smiling as you bite the hand that feeds But will you never see?
Always wanting what your eyes can′t see needing what your arms can’t reach Thinking you are in need Always hearing what your ears can′t hear feeling what your hands can′t touch Thinking you’re incomplete
(Enough) It was, Never enough that I gave to you All of the horror that you′ve put me through (Never enough) How can I make up my mind this time? This is where I will draw the line
Sacrificed my life to be with you Why did you leave me? There′s nothing more from me you can consume Cause you are incomplete
Always wanting what your eyes can′t see needing what your arms can’t reach Thinking you are in need Always hearing what your ears can′t hear feeling what your hands can′t touch Thinking you’re incomplete
(Enough) It was, Never enough that I gave to you All of the horror that you′ve put me through (Never enough) How can I make up my mind this time? This is where I will draw the line
Everlasting need Would you please? Answer me and Make me complete
Everlasting greed Would you please? Set me free Fulfill all my needs and make complete
(Enough) It was, Never enough that I gave to you All of the horror that you′ve put me through (Never enough) How can I make up my mind this time? This is where I will draw the line
Never again will I be with you No promise eternal carrying us through I finally made up my mind this time This is the end, I′ve drawn the line Never enough to devour your greed
Deep in the night, boundless violence will seethe with the danger Our laws collide not allowing another contender When the wine drinks itself, you will burn to a cinder We′re fighting time awaiting the answers
I′ll never let them stake you down Take you down I′ll fight to find a way
Is there a way to turn the mind of a barbaric stranger? Eternal days awaiting for you to awake, my avenger A cruel fate now condemns us to burn to a cinder Are we too late, running on empty?
I′ll never let them stake you down Take you down I′ll fight to find a way out there It must be hard I′ll never let them break you now Forsake you now Keep holding on and
Give me answers to my prayers We′ll never hide, we′ll face the glare You′re the light I see to, raise the flame and blaze the fire Give me answer to my prayers We′ll carry all the weights to bear Give me sight to see I know a way is there to keep the flame
Why can′t I bleed with you? Forever I will be thrown to the wolves They′ll feed on all our dreams
I′ll never let them stake you down Take you down I′ll fight to find a way out there It must be hard I′ll never let them break you now Forsake you now Keep holding on and
Give me answers to my prayers We′ll never hide, we′ll face the glare You′re the light I see to, raise the flame and blaze the fire Give me answer to my prayers We′ll carry all the weights to bear Give me sight to see I know a way is there to keep the flame
Why can′t I bleed with you? Forever I will be thrown to the wolves They′ll feed on all our dreams.
A place which I have searched a thousand times To finally free myself Forever wasn′t ever long enough I will refrain
I feel a passion washing over me To shed the skin I′m in This evolution will empower me Now truth begins
And you will not find me I am safe in here I′m where I want to be
It′s a place where a wish will be granted Come, you′ll see I′m right It′s a force that will live on within you Dark as day is light It′s a place where your dreams will be slanted And will always be It′s a force that was sent out to win you Just you wait and see
Take one step closer to the borderline Where night and day unite This mortal coil I′ve gone and left behind On holy soil
And you will not find me I am safe in here I′m where I want to be
It′s a place where a wish will be granted Come, you′ll see I′m right It′s a force that will live on within you Dark as day is light It′s a place where your dreams will be slanted And will always be It′s a force that was sent out to win you Just you wait and see
You will not find me I am safe in here I am where I want to be So leave me now in peace
And you will not find me I am safe in here I′m where I want to be
It′s a place where a wish will be granted Come, you′ll see I′m right It′s a force that will live on within you Dark as day is light It′s a place where your dreams will be slanted And will always be It′s a force that was sent out to win you Just you wait and see
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart Made foundations quiver Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break And I shiver...
The leftover tallow just doesn’t contain All the right answers Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom
An untouched snow turns red Innocence dies...
This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next All that remains is just a feint of what was meant to be This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next And nothing seems in life, in dreams like what was meant to be
So many days we′ve spent together Trying to get ahead with our dreams Now we have come to the goal forgotten Hurting within left us torn
The road is open We find out way through ties where broken So the means to the end Was the peace that was meant To be ours since it all began
We fight to win
I won′t give up, we′ll fight to win To move along from where we′d been I′ll sing this song for you again I′m looking up around the bend We′re so much stronger than before Our fraying edges on the mend
Life as we know would be so different Had our paths continued the same Seizing the day with all that′s offered The good and the bad, The clear and the haze
To move along from where we′d been I′ll sing this song for you again I′m looking up around the bend We′re so much stronger than before Our fraying edges on the mend
Don′t let go
So hard to face what we′ve done wrong We shared a life that can′t be We cannot hide from destiny So hard to face what had gone wrong We′ve got to make this work And give it our all
Give our all and won′t let go Waiting so long for an answer We′ve been waiting oh, so very long and Now we′re ready to accept our fate
Our melodies will be remembered forever and ever Our memories will fade away when the leaves have reached the soil
I won′t give up this fight The sacrifices made We gave our all And won′t let it go to die in vain
I′ll sing this song again We′re stronger than before We have the chance of lifetime We′ll never close this door
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone In the lamplight The withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days Life was beautiful then I remember The time I knew what happiness is Let the memory live again
Every street lamp Seems to beat A fatalistic warning Someone mutters And a street lamp gutters And soon it will be morning
I must think of a new life And I mustn′t give in When the dawn comes Tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smokey days The stale cold smell of morning The street lamp dies Another night is over Another day is dawning
Touch me, it′s so easy to leave me All alone with my memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me You′ll understand what happiness is Look a new day has begun...
Follow your common sense You cannot hide yourself behind a fairytale forever and ever Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose The soul of this bulwark forever and ever Forever and ever
Indoctrinated minds so very often Contain sick thoughts And commit most of the evil they preach against
Don’t try to convince me with messages from God You accuse us of sins committed by yourselves It’s easy to condemn without looking in the mirror Behind the scenes opens reality
Eternal silence cries out for justice Forgiveness is not for sale Nor is the will to forget
Virginity has been stolen at very young ages And the extinguisher loses it’s immunity Morbid abuse of power in the garden of eden Where the apple gets a youthful face
You can’t go on hiding yourself Behind old fashioned fairytales And keep washing your hands in innocence
With time to kill and an empty tomb I always find a way to pass the time with you Dark and smoky rooms, I can hardly stand the fumes
Telling me that you mean no harm You stand me up like a crutch, another arm But only when I′m gone have I been away too long
No, you don′t belong to me, I think you lied to me And with my back against this wall, it′s hard to be strong No, you′d tell me anything, look what you′ve done to me Still I tell myself that tomorrow you′ll be long gone
Any given time or place I never will forget the disgrace on your face So full of love, will it ever be enough? Ten feet tall and bullet proof I never thought that I had a thing to lose Well, it looks like after all, I′m gonna have to choose
No, you don′t belong to me, I think you lied to me And with my back against this wall, it′s hard to be strong No, you′d tell me anything, look what you′ve done to me Still, I tell myself that tomorrow you′ll be long gone
You help pass the time, but I′m doing fine on my own So there′s no good reason why to live such a lie Tell me have I been gone away too long?
No, you don′t belong to me, I think you lied to me And with my back against this wall, it′s hard to be strong No, you′d tell me anything, look what you′ve done to me Still I tell myself that tomorrow you′ll be long gone
You, you got me Thinking it′ll be alright. You, you told me, "Come and take a look inside." You believed me, In every single lie. But I, I failed you this time.
And it feels like tonight. I can′t believe I′m broken inside. Can′t you see that there′s nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight, Tonight.
I was waiting For the day you′d come around. I was chasing, And nothing was all I found. From the moment you came into my life, You showed me what′s right.
And it feels like tonight. I can′t believe I′m broken inside. Can′t you see that there′s nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight.
I never felt like this before. Just when I leave, I′m back for more. Nothing else here seems to matter. In these ever-changing days, You′re the one thing that remains. I could stay like this forever.
And it feels like tonight. I can′t believe I′m broken inside. Can′t you see that there′s nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight. Tonight. Tonight. ′Cause there′s nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you. And it feels like tonight. Tonight.
Ten miles from town and I just broke down Spittin′ out smoke on the side of the road I′m out here alone just tryin′ to get home To tell you I was wrong but you already know Believe me I won′t stop at nothin′ To see you so I′ve started runnin′
All that I′m after is a life full of laughter As long as I′m laughing with you I′m thinkin′ that all that still matters is love ever after After the life we′ve been through ′Cause I know there′s no life after you
Last time we talked, the night that I walked Burns like an iron in the back of my mind I must′ve been high to say you and I Weren′t meant to be and just wasting my time Oh, why did I ever doubt you? You know I would die here without you
All that I′m after is a life full of laughter As long as I′m laughing with you I′m thinkin′ that all that still matters is love ever after After the life we′ve been through ′Cause I know there′s no life after you
You and I, right or wrong, there′s no other one After this time I spent alone It′s hard to believe that a man with sight could be so blind Thinkin′ ′bout the better times, must′ve been outta my mind So I′m runnin′ back to tell you
All that I′m after is a life full of laughter Without you God knows what I′d do
All that I′m after is a life full of laughter As long as I′m laughing with you I′m thinkin′ that all that still matters is love ever after After the life we′ve been through ′Cause I know there′s no life after you
I′m staring out into the night, Trying to hide the pain. I′m going to the place where love And feeling good don′t ever cost a thing. And the pain you feel′s a different kind of pain.
Well I′m going home, Back to the place where I belong, And where your love has always been enough for me. I′m not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don′t regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old, So I′m going home. Well I′m going home.
The miles are getting longer, it seems, The closer I get to you. I′ve not always been the best man or friend for you. But your love, it makes true. And I don′t know why. You always seem to give me another try.
So I′m going home, Back to the place where I belong, And where your love has always been enough for me. I′m not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don′t regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old, So I′m going home. I′m going home.
Be careful what you wish for, ′Cause you just might get it all. You just might get it all, And then some you don′t want. Be careful what you wish for, ′Cause you just might get it all. You just might get it all, yeah.
Oh, well I′m going home, Back to the place where I belong, And where your love has always been enough for me. I′m not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don′t regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old. I said these places and these faces are getting old, So I′m going home. I′m going home.
I woke up today sinkin′ like the stones that you have thrown Wounded by the same ole shots you take It′s easier to kick me when I′m low
And I just thought that you should know I′ve been holding on while you′ve been letting go Well, it′s not too late to say it right this time ′Cause I know I said I′m sorry but that′s not what I meant to say
I′m strong enough to say That I don′t wanna take the high road now So typical of you to walk away When your perfect little world is burning down
And I just thought that you should know I′ve been holding on while you′ve been letting go, can I be so bold? ′Cause all this sucking up to you is just getting old Well, it′s not too late to say it right this time ′Cause I know I said I′m sorry, but that′s not what I meant to say
What I really meant to say with every little breath I take I′m not the only one who makes mistakes Just think of all the ones you′ve made
And I just thought that you should know I′ve been holding on while you′ve been letting go, can I be so bold? ′Cause all this sucking up to you is just getting old Well, it′s not too late to say it right this time ′Cause I know I said I′m sorry, but that′s not what I meant to say
How the time passed away? All the trouble that we gave And all those days we spent out by the lake Has it all gone to waste? All the promises we made One by one they vanish just the same
Of all the things I still remember Summer′s never looked the same The years go by and time just seems to fly by But the memories remain
In the middle of September we′d still play out in the rain Nothing to lose but everything to gain Reflecting now on how things could′ve been It was worth it in the end
Now it all seems so clear, there′s nothing left to fear So we made our way by finding what was real Now the days are so long that summer′s moving on We reach for something that′s already gone
Of all the things I still remember Summer′s never looked the same The years go by and time just seems to fly by But the memories remain
In the middle of September we′d still play out in the rain Nothing to lose but everything to gain Reflecting now on how things could′ve been It was worth it in the end
We knew we had to leave this town But we never knew when and we never knew how We would end up here the way we are Yeah we knew we had to leave this town But we never knew when and we never knew how
Of all the things I still remember Summer′s never looked the same The years go by and time just seems to fly by But the memories remain
In the middle of September we′d still play out in the rain Nothing to lose but everything to gain Reflecting now on how things could′ve been It was worth it in the end
I open my lungs to breathe in forgiveness and love Haunting me now reminders of how I used to be And on down the road my troubles are sure to follow Looking out the window, the hell if know where I will go So I′ll just keep on driving
On my way to L.A. looking into the rear view as the roads fade away I′ve sworn off my past, first to last bad call that I ever made Tell me how to make right every wrong turn that I′ve learned? So this can all end tonight Tennessee line just changed my, well it′s my heart I′ll follow this time
Who would′ve known that pride is so hard to swallow As I rest on the shoulder of a road growing colder With the trouble I own, should I just keep on driving?
On my way to L.A. looking into the rear view as the roads fade away I′ve sworn off my past, first to last bad call that I ever made Tell me how to make right every wrong turn that I′ve learned? So this can all end tonight Tennessee line just changed my, well it′s my heart I′ll follow this time
I know I must be doing something Head the other way, back to where I started out Ask myself if I can turn it all around tonight And stop living with doubt
On my way to L.A. looking into the rear view as the roads fade away I′ve sworn off my past, first to last bad call that I ever made Tell me how to make right every wrong turn that I′ve learned? So this can all end tonight Tennessee line just changed my, well it′s my heart I′ll follow this time
I′m gonna turn it all around tonight at the Tennessee line
All those years One day changes everything, and Gone and your life and the passion fades away Saving for something That you’ll never see in your days Shutting out everything that you need
(Looking through distorted eyes) Beautiful disaster (Adding up a million lies) So much for “ever after” Building up your wall Everything you wanted Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away Giving in or leaving this now Now we have what we have become All the tears We never thought we’d see the day when The trappings of your life would seem to disappear Goin through the vacancy you leave behind Not what you have promised, Not what you believed
(Looking through distorted eyes) Beautiful disaster (Adding up a million lies) So much for “ever after” Building up your wall Everything you wanted Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away Finding out the truth, when nothing really matters Chase the light that’s blinding even as you crowd away Now we have what we have become Now you fight to ease your pain Now you know it’s not the way out Now you know it’s not the way out Not the way out
Building up your wall Everything you wanted Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away Finding out the truth, when nothing really matters Chase the light that’s blinding even as you crowd away Now we have what we have become
Tonight the sunset means so much The one thing that you know you′ll never touch Like the feeling, the real thing I reach out for that sweet dream
But somehow the darkness wakes me up I′ve felt this emptiness before But all the times that I′ve been broken I still run right back for more
You′d think that I′d learn my lesson by now You′d think that I′d somehow figure out That if you strike the match You′re bound to feel the flame
You think that I′d learn the cost of love Paid that price long enough But still I drive myself right through the pain Yeah, well it turns out, I haven′t learned a thing
Sometimes I think I′m better off To turn out the lights and close up shop And give up the longing, believing in belonging Just hold down my head and take the loss
You′d think that I′d learn my lesson by now You′d think that I′d somehow figure out That if you strike the match You′re bound to feel the flame
You′d think that I′d learn the cost of love Paid that price long enough But still I drive myself right through the pain Yeah, well it turns out, I haven′t learned a thing
Thought it was dead and buried Then it woke you up last night You sounded so damn worried You′ve been tossing, turning, both ends burning
I wanna put your mind at ease again (Make everything alright) I know it′s getting underneath your skin I′ve tried to tell you now
Don′t look over your shoulder ′Cause that′s just the ghost of me You′re seeing in your dreams Wait, there′s no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there′s no meaning In the visions when you′re sleepin′ Don′t wake up and believe them You′re looking at the ghost of me
With your imagination and emotions running wild Fueling my frustrations like a fire burning, clock keeps turning I know it′s getting underneath your skin I′ve tried to tell you now
Don′t look over your shoulder ′Cause that′s just the ghost of me You′re seeing in your dreams Wait, there′s no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there′s no meaning In the visions when you′re sleepin′ Don′t wake up and believe them You′re looking at the ghost of me You′re looking at the ghost of me You′re looking at the ghost of me
Don′t look over your shoulder ′Cause that′s just the ghost of me You′re seein′ Wait, there′s no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there′s no meaning In the visions when you′re sleepin′ Don′t wake up and believe them Visions when you′re sleepin′ Don′t wake up and believe them You′re looking at the ghost of me You′re looking at the ghost of me You′re looking at the ghost of me
Traveled all around the world to be with you You never know where the open road will lead you to I crawl before I walk, still got nowhere fast The other side still has the greener grass Oh, you win some and you loose some yeah Oh, and things look so much smarter from up there
I hear it′s such a Long Way Down And the climb back up ain′t as easy as it sounds I hear it′s such a long way down And the climb back up is just something I can do without Something I can do without
I walked until I didn′t have no energy I bought until I didn′t have no bite left in me I died so that I didn′t have to live in the past But the other side still had the greener grass Oh, you win some and you loose some yeah Oh, and things look so much smarter from up there
I hear it′s such a long way down And the climb back up ain′t as easy as it sounds I hear it′s such a long way down And the climb back up is just something I can do without Something I can do without
Put your hands up yeah, Put your hands up yeah Put your hands up yeah, Something I can do without
I hear it′s such a long way down And the climb back up ain′t as easy as it sounds I hear it′s such a long way down And the climb back up is just something I can do without Just something I can do without, oh yeah
Something I can do without, Something I can do without Something I can do without, Something I can do without Something I can do without, Something I can do without Something I can do without, out, out, out, that′s it
Cry out all who care to know I’ve been hollow way too long I know where I’m going wrong There’s nothing I can do I believe you can get me through Nothing else will do I believe you can get me through So can you stop the bleeding? Get me through…
Color blind I paint your blue sky grey But this time you’ll shed some light on me Just before I fade away There’s nothing I can do I believe you can get me through Nothing else will do I believe you can get me through So can you stop the bleeding? Get me through…
All the chances that you’re takin’ The promises that I keep breaking down Writings on the wall Can’t make out all the letters But I know it’s getting better now The writings on the wall
Get me through…
There’s nothing I can do I believe you can get me through Nothing else will do I believe you can get me through So can you stop the bleeding? Get me through…
Now that it′s all said and done, I can′t believe you were the one To build me up and tear me down, Like an old abandoned house. What you said when you left Just left me cold and out of breath. I fell too far, was in way too deep. Guess I let you get the best of me.
Well, I never saw it coming. I should′ve started running A long, long time ago. And I never thought I′d doubt you, I′m better off without you More than you, more than you know. I′m slowly getting closure. I guess it′s really over. I′m finally getting better. And now I′m picking up the pieces. I′m spending all of these years Putting my heart back together. ′Cause the day I thought I′d never get through, I got over you.
You took a hammer to these walls, Dragged the memories down the hall, Packed your bags and walked away. There was nothing I could say. And when you slammed the front door shut, A lot of others opened up, So did my eyes so I could see That you never were the best for me.
Well, I never saw it coming. I should′ve started running A long, long time ago. And I never thought I′d doubt you, I′m better off without you More than you, more than you know. I′m slowly getting closure. I guess it′s really over. I′m finally getting better. And now I′m picking up the pieces.

Doesn′t come down when she calls, "It′s time for breakfast." Momma can′t get down those halls Fast enough to see Glass is sprayed across the floor From the broken window. She can′t breathe anymore. Can′t deny what we know.
They′re gonna find you, just believe. You′re not a person; you′re a disease.
All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. Broken homes from separation. Don′t you know it′s violation? It′s so wrong, but you′ll see. Never gonna let you take my world from me. The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, But you ain′t comin′ in. You ain′t comin′ in.
Posters hung on building walls Of missing faces. Months go by without the cause, The clues, or traces.
They′re gonna find you, just believe. You′re not a person; you′re a disease.
All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. Broken homes from separation. Don′t you know it′s violation? It′s so wrong, but you′ll see. Never gonna let you take my world from me. The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, But you ain′t comin′ in.
Shed the light on all the ones who never thought they would become A father, mother asking why this world can be so cold.
Doesn′t come down when she calls, "It′s time for breakfast." The memories begin to fall. She asks, "When will I be free?"
All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. Broken homes from separation. Don′t you know it′s violation? It′s so wrong, but you′ll see. Never gonna let you take my world from me. The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, But you ain′t comin′ in.
All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking.

The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, But you ain′t comin′ in.
Dusty roads Hopeless nights Looking at.. blinding lights Saw your ghost here tonight It lingers on and I feel your life Pulling me back to the place But the thought of staring back at you is more than I can face And its a long way down From where I used to rest my head And its safe and sound If only I could turn around There′s no direction where I stand Just dead end signs and wasted land. And its a long way down.. To you
Dusty roads, Hopeless nights.. Looking at blinding lights Saw your ghost, Its alive. It lingers on, feel your life. Pulling me back to the place... But the thought of staring back at you was more than I could face
And it′s a long way now, From where I used to rest my head And it′s safe and sound If only I could turn around There′s no direction where I stand Just dead end signs and wasted land It′s a long way down to you.. To you To you To you...
Saw your ghost.. It′s alive. Lingers on, I feel your life..
And it′s a long way now To where I used to rest my head And it′s safe and sound If only I could turn around There′s no direction where I stand Just dead end signs to wasted land And It′s a long way down It′s a long way down To where I used to rest my head And its safe and sound If only I could turn around There′s no direction where I stand Just dead end signs to wasted land And it′s a long way down to you...
Tell me what you need and I will find a way to stop the bleeding; No, don′t add to my mistakes. Tell me you′re not leaving and I′ll tell you everything you need to know. Don′t throw it all away, don′t say my words are just too late.
I don′t want to be left behind, I′ve been so blind to all that I have broken. Can we put this back together? No more empty promises, they don′t exist; just me out in the open. I know this will take time, can you give me one last chance to make it right?
You say the story′s ending but I think it′s time we stop pretending; No, can′t let you turn the page. Does your heart remember when we used to say forever, don′t let go. Don′t throw it all away; don′t say these words are just too late.
I don′t want to be left behind, I′ve been so blind to all that I have broken. Can we put this back together? No more empty promises, they don′t exist; just me out in the open. I know this will take time, can we put the past behind us, Tonight I′m gonna fight for you; just give me one last chance to make it right, Last chance to make it right.

Give me one last chance to make it right, A last chance to make it right A last chance to make it right No more empty promises, they don′t exist; just me out in the open. I know this will take time, can you give me one last chance to make it right?
Lost from the start, I might as well be on the moon Much colder than I thought even in the month of June No communication makes ya feel so alone All we need is patience in which I′ve never really known
But now it′s too late, it′s taking over me It feels so supernatural and I′m pulled the other way It′s more than I can take and I′m losing hold of everything And no matter how I try you know I can′t deny ′Cause you feel so supernatural
Every step I′ve taken has led me here to where you are But all that I believe in is keeping me from seeing too far Throwing out the questions, waiting for the right reply Looking for the answers, tell me will it be tonight?
But now it′s too late, it′s taking over me It feels so supernatural and I′m pulled the other way It′s more than I can take and I′m losing hold of everything When it′s more than physical it′s kind of hard to see beyond the glow And no matter how I try you know I can′t deny ′Cause you feel so supernatural
Through the atmosphere I′m seeing Glimpses of the past I′m leaving Holding on for life as we collide
But now it′s too late, it′s taking over me It feels so supernatural and I′m pulled the other way It′s more than I can take and I′m losing hold of everything When it′s more than physical it′s kind of hard to see beyond the glow And no matter how I try you know I can′t deny ′Cause you feel so supernatural
It always seemed that I was sorry for the things that I did, But never did a thing about it ′til I let you in. It′s kinda funny about the time that I was falling apart. You came and put me back together, now.
′Cause what I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You′ve been offering. As days go by, I′ve finally become what you want me to be.
I still remember all the stupid things that I′ve said and done, But still, you stuck around with me when all your friends said, "Run!" Givin′ me a name, I found myself inside all the flames. Becoming everything for you again.
What I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You′ve been offering. As days go by, I′ve finally become what you want me to be.
Don′t tell me you saw it all along. God help me, I never knew it alone. Guess I was wrong.
What I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You′ve been offering. As days go by, I′ve finally become what you want me to be.
And what I need Has now become the same thing You′ve been offering. You′ve taken me, And shaped me to become what you want me to be.
