 | Like a new day rising Like a calm before the storm Like fog lifting from valleys On a sleeping forest floor Eyes open slowly as the dust is shaken off To gaze upon the wreckage That the midnight hands have wrought And now I I feel my temperature rising My body explode I feel like somebody's watching Like I'm not alone I stopped, I vowed right then and said that Whatever path you take (the path you take) Wherever you might go (where you may go) Whenever you decide to leave I'll follow I'll follow We face a crossroad never knowing what's in store There's an angel on my shoulder There's a devil at my door She proclaimed, "Tonight Will be the greatest of our lives" And I said, "Don't be so sure Let's just wait until the morning light" I feel my temperature rising My body explode I feel like somebody's watching Like I'm not alone I stopped, I vowed right then and said that Whatever path you take (the path you take) Wherever you might go (where you may go) Whenever you decide to leave I'll follow I'll follow |

 | I held the canvas bag over the railing The dead released, with the ship still sailing, Out of our hands and into the swallowing sea I felt the crossfire stitching up soldiers Into a blanket of dead, and as the night grows colder In a window back home, a Blue Star is traded for Gold. Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo don't capture the skin When metal is churned. And bodies are burned Victory earned The War was in color Now I lay in my grave at age 21 Long before you were born Before I bore a son What good did it do? Well hopefully for you A world without war A life full of color Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo never captured my skin Once it was torn from an enemy thorn Straight through the core The war was in color |
 | Load the car and write the note Grab your bag and grab your coat Tell the ones that need to know We are headed north One foot in and one foot back But it don't pay to live like that So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks For never to return Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in My hands they shake my head it spins Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in When at first I learned to speak I used all my words to fight With him and her and you and me Oh but it's just a waste of time Yeah it's such a waste of time That woman she's got eyes that shine Like a pair of stolen polished dimes She asked to dance I said it's fine I'll see you in the morning time Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape im in My hands they shake my head it spins Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in Three words that became hard to say I and love and you What you were then, I am today Look at the things I do Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in My hands they shake my head it spins Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in Dumbed down and numbed by time and age Your dreams to catch the world, the cage The highway sets the traveler's stage All exits look the same Three words that became hard to say I and love and you I and love and you I and love and you |
 | You are the hole in my head You are the space in my bed You are the silence in between What I thought and what I said You are the night time fear You are the morning when it's clear When it's over you're the start You're my head, you're my heart No light, no light in your bright blue eyes I never knew daylight could be so violent A revelation in the light of day You can't choose what stays and what fades away And I'd do anything to make you stay No light, no light No light Tell me what you want me to say Through the crowd, I was crying out And in your place there were a thousand other faces I was disappearing in plain sight Heaven help me, I need to make it right You want a revelation, You wanna get it right But it's a conversation, I just can't have tonight You want a revelation Some kind of resolution You want a revelation No light, no light in your bright blue eyes I never knew daylight could be so violent A revelation in the light of day, You can't choose what stays and what fades away And I'd do anything to make you stay No light, no light No light Tell me what you want me to say |
 | Run boy run! This world is not made for you Run boy run! They’re trying to catch you Run boy run! Running is a victory Run boy run! Beauty lays behind the hills Run boy run! The sun will be guiding you Run boy run! They’re dying to stop you Run boy run! This race is a prophecy Run boy run! Break out from society Tomorrow is another day And you won’t have to hide away You’ll be a man, boy! But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run! Run boy run! This ride is a journey to Run boy run! The secret inside of you Run boy run! This race is a prophecy Run boy run! And disappear in the trees Tomorrow is another day And you won’t have to hide away You’ll be a man, boy! But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run! Tomorrow is another day And when the night fades away You’ll be a man, boy! But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run! |
 | Now kid, I know I haven't been a perfect man And I've avoided doing things I know I can But if I've learned one thing to tattoo on my arm Or burn into my thumb It would be that You must stick up for yourself, son Never mind what anybody else done Stick up for yourself, son Never mind what anybody else done (Say what? Say what? Yeah) Oh, Max Schmeling was a formidable foe The Ambling Alp was too, at least that's what I'm told But if you learn one thing, you've learned it well In June you must give fascists hell They'll run, but they can't hide You must stick up for yourself, son Never mind what anybody else done Stick up for yourself, son Never mind what anybody else done Stick up for yourself, son Never mind what anybody else done Stick up for yourself, son Never mind what anybody else done And when those thunder clouds are crying in the skies, in the skies And when those fireflies keep shining in your eyes, in your eyes Keep your mind on the time with that ass on the line Keep your fleet feet sliding to the side, to the side Now, the world can be an unfair place at times But your lows will have their complement of highs And if anyone should cheat you Take advantage of, or beat you Raise your head and wear your wounds with pride |

  | Love, I have wounds, Only you can mend, You can mend. I guess that's love, I can't pretend, I can't pretend. Feel, my skin is rough, But it can be cleansed, It can be cleansed. And my arms are tough, But they can be bent, They can be bent. And I wanna fight, But I can't contend. I guess that's love, I can't pretend, I can't pretend. Oh, feel our bodies grow, And our souls they blend. Yeah love I hope you know, How much my heart depends. But I guess that's love I can't pretend, I can't pretend. I guess that's love I can't pretend, I can't pretend. Oh feel our bodies grow, And our souls they blend. Yeah love I hope you know, How much my heart depends. I guess that's love I can't pretend, I can't pretend. I guess that's love I can't pretend, I can't pretend. |
 | They fall in line One at a time Ready to play I can't see them anyway No time to lose We've got to move Steady your helm I am losing sight again Fire your guns It's time to run Blow me away I will stay, in the mess I made After the fall We'll shake it off Show me the way Only the strongest will survive Lead me to heaven, when we die I am the shadow on the wall I'll be the one to save us all There's nothing left So save your breath Lying in wait Caught inside this tidal wave Your cover's blown No where to go Holding your fate Loaded I will walk alone Fire your guns It's time to run Blow me away I will stay, in the mess I made After the fall We'll shake it off Show me the way |

 | And is it worth the wait All this killing time? Are you strong enough to stand Protecting both your heart and mine? Who is the betrayer? Who's the killer in the crowd? The one who creeps in corridors And doesn't make a sound |
 | Holy water cannot help you now Thousand armies couldn't keep me out I don't want your money I don't want your crown See I've come to burn your kingdom down Holy water cannot help you now See I've come to burn your kingdom down And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out I'm gonna raise the stakes, I'm gonna smoke you out Seven devils all around me! Seven devils in my house! See they were there when I woke up this morning I'll be dead before the day is done Seven devils all around you Seven devils in your house See I was dead when I woke up this morning I'll be dead before the day is done Before the day is done And now all your love will be exorcised And we will find you saints to be canonized And it's an even song It's a melody It's a battle cry It's a symphony Seven devils all around me Seven devils in my house See they were there when I woke up this morning I'll be dead before the day is done Seven devils all around you Seven devils in your house See I was dead when I woke up this morning I'll be dead before the day is done Before the day is done Before the day is done Before the day is done They can keep me out 'Til I tear the walls 'Til I save your heart And to take your soul For what has been done Cannot be undone In the evil's heart In the evil's soul Seven devils all around you Seven devils in your house See I was dead when I woke up this morning I'll be dead before the day is done Before the day is done |
      | Now the dark begins to rise Save your breath, it's far from over Leave the lost and dead behind Now's your chance to run for cover I don't want to change the world I just wanna leave it colder Light the fuse and burn it up Take the path that leads to nowhere All is lost again But I'm not giving in I will not bow I will not break I will shut the world away I will not fall I will not fade I will take your breath away Watch the end through dying eyes Now the dark is taking over Show me where forever dies Take the fall and run to Heaven All is lost again But I'm not giving in I will not bow I will not break I will shut the world away I will not fall I will not fade I will take your breath away And I'll survive, paranoid I have lost the will to change And I am not proud, cold-blooded fake I will shut the world away |

  | I'm gonna fight 'em off A seven nation army couldn't hold me back They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back And I'm talkin' to myself at night Because I can't forget Back and forth through my mind Behind a cigarette And the message comin' from my eyes says leave it alone... Don't wanna hear about it Every single one's got a story to tell Everyone knows about it From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell And if I catch it comin' back my way I'm gonna serve it to you And that ain't what you want to hear But that's what I'll do And the feeling coming from my bones says find a home... I'm going to Wichita Far from this opera forevermore I'm gonna work the straw Make the sweat drip out of every pore And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding Right before the lord All the words are gonna bleed from me And I will think no more And the stains comin' from my blood tell me "Go back home"... |

 | Border line, Dead inside. I don't mind, Falling to pieces. Count me in, violent Let's begin, feeding the sickness. How do I simplify, Dislocate - the enemy's on the way. Show me what it's like To dream in black and white, So I can leave this world tonight. Full of fear, Ever clear. I'll be here, Fighting forever. Curious, Venomous, You'll find me Climbing to heaven. Never mind, Turn back time. You'll be fine - I will get left behind. Show me what it's like To dream in black and white, So I can leave this world tonight. Holding on too tight. Breathe the breath of life, So I can leave this world behind. It only hurts just once. They're only broken bones. Hide the hate inside. |
 | I was looking for a breath of a life For a little touch of heavenly light But all the choirs in my head say no oh oh To get a dream of life again A little vision of the sun at the end But all the choirs in my head say, no oh oh But I would need one more touch Another taste of heavenly rush And I believe, I believe it's so oh oh oh And I need a one more touch Another taste of divine rush And I believe, I believe it's so oh oh oh Whose side am I on? Whose side am I? Whose side am I on? Whose side am I? And the fever begins to spread From my heart down to my legs But the room is so quiet, oh oh oh And although I was losing my mind It was a call that was so sublime But the room is so quiet, oh oh oh I was looking for a breath of a life A little touch of heavenly light But all the choirs in my head say, no oh oh |
 | I never said I'd lie and wait forever If I died, we'd be together I can't always just forget her But she could try At the end of the world Or the last thing I see You are Never coming home Never coming home Could I? Should I? And all the things that you never ever told me And all the smiles that are ever ever... Ever... Get the feeling that you're never All alone and I remember now At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies She dies At the end of the world Or the last thing I see You are Never coming home Never coming home Could I? Should I? And all the things that you never ever told me And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me Never coming home Never coming home Could I? Should I? And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me |
 | The world we knew Won't come back The time we've lost Can't get back The life we had Won't be ours again This world will never be What I expected And if I don't belong Even if I say It'll be alright Still I hear you say You want to end your life Now and again we try To just stay alive Maybe we'll turn it all around 'Cause it's not too late It's never too late Maybe we'll turn it all around 'Cause it's not too late It's never too late (It's never too late) It's not too late It's never too late |
 | And I had a dream About my old school And she was there all pink and gold and glittering I threw my arms around her legs Came to weeping Came to weeping And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was loose and I was set alight But she came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night |
 | I was born when they took my name When the world turned wicked, when I joined their game But I turned upon them Like you always knew I'd do I sat and dreamed at the foot of your bed Split my skull and reached inside my head Pulled out the pictures and wished that I'd forget But you stitched me up then Wiped the blood from off my chin Now I sit on rooftop's edge Muddy street beneath my swollen head Trying to forget you But we've never met And the sky is ripped from the flying clouds The chimneys' mouths spewing smoke around And I can't stop coughing My lungs just won't calm down But still I keep grinning As the blood from my face stains the ground A bird, caught in the wires Pleading for help I can't provide, I'm not that big I hope for the best but nothing changes, I'm sorry But I was blessed with bad eyes There's a lot that I missed but I don't mind, I'm not that old I'll find out what broke me soon enough |
 | You fought me once but not again You let me feel your heavy hand I will clean your fucking mess And leave no trace of evidence I am losing you again Let me out and let me in 'cause you're not alone here Not at all Let me belong here Break my fall Shelter me from this again Dedicated to the end Help me break my conscience in To free us from our innocence I am losing you again Let me out and let me in 'cause you're not alone here Not at all Let me belong here Break my fall |
 | God bless us everyone, We're a broken people living under loaded gun. And it can't be outfought, It can't be outdone, It can't be outmatched, It can't be outrun. No God bless us everyone, We're a broken people living under loaded gun. And it can't be outfought, It can't be outdone, It can't be outmatched, It can't be outrun. No And when I close my eyes tonight, To symphonies of blinding light God bless us everyone, We're a broken people living under loaded gun. Oh Like memories in cold decay, Transmissions echoing away, Far from the world of you and I, Where oceans bleed into the sky |
 | Crowded streets are cleared away One by One Hollow heroes separate As they run You're so cold Keep your hand in mine Wise men wonder while strong men die Show me how it ends it's alright Show me how defenseless you really are satisfied and empty inside Well, that's alright, let's give this another try If you find your family, don't you cry In this land of make-believe, dead and dry You're so cold, but you feel alive Lay your hand on me one last time |
 | And it's breaking over me A thousand miles down to the sea bed Found the place to rest my head Never let me go Never let me go And the arms of the ocean are carrying me And all this devotion was rushing out of me In the crushes of heaven for a sinner like me But the arms of the ocean delivered me And it's over And I'm going under But I'm not giving up I'm just giving in I'm slipping underneath So cold and so sweet And the arms of the ocean So sweet and so cold And all this devotion I never knew at all In the crushes of heaven for a sinner released But the arms of the ocean delivered me Never let me go |
 | Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber Until I realize that it was you who held me under Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone No more calling like a crone for a boy, for a body in the garden No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong one And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack All around the world was waking, I never could go back Cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open And finally it seemed that the spell was broken And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open |
 | Well it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tight I've got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me Oh That shit makes me bat shit crazy We've got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out We're going off tonight To kick out every light Take anything we want Drink everything in sight We're going till the world stops turning While we burn it to the ground tonight Oh We're screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling I got a fist full of fifties, tequila just hit me Oh We got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit faced We got it lined up, shot down, firing back straight crown We're going off tonight To kick out every light Take anything we want Drink everything in sight We're going till the world stops turning While we burn it to the ground tonight Oh Ticking like a time bomb, drinking till the nights gone Well get you hands off of this glass, last call my ass Well no chain, no lock, and this train won't stop We got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out We're going off tonight To kick out every light Take anything we want Drink everything in sight We're going till the world stops turning While we burn it to the ground tonight |
 | There's a little white porch And you wanted it so Can you let me go down To the end of the road In the black and the white A Technicolorful life Can I stand by your side? We can make it alright Like home 'Cause I'm home There's a little white porch And you wanted it so Can you let me go down To the end of the road In the black and the white A Technicolorful life Then another arrived It's a cowardly lion What I want from this world What I wanna resolve When I want you to stay So I want you to wait I don't wanna be bold I don't wanna be cold I don't wanna grow old I want to go home |
