Afraid of Heights

	1. Big Red Gun Lyrics Brothers in arms who share my fears, Time to protect what you hold dear There’s been a rise in new ideals, Threatening to change the way we live Who knows what trouble’s found a way, Found a way to your door today Who knows what trouble’s on its way, On its way to intimidate All I want is a big red gun Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot at the setting sun Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh And all I want is a big red gun, I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot till the thrill is gone ‘Cause this is my right no matter the cost Get outta my sight when baby’s got a big red gun Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh Baby’s got a big red gun Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh Pride is a weapon in your hand Freedom awards the faithful man I hear the message loud and clear, Straight from his lips into my ear And lord I just can’t walk away, Walk away from the enemy The law will never disagree, On the target of my insecurities All I want is a big red gun Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot at the setting sun Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh And all I want is a big red gun, I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot till the thrill is gone And how many lives will have to be lost to understand why my baby’s got a big red gun? We call them twisted and deranged (baby’s got a big red gun) But we gave them the keys to annihilate (baby’s got a big red gun) How long before the next one’s in the ground? (Baby’s got a big red gun) So proud of all your history (baby’s got a big red gun) But history made a big mistake (baby’s got a big red gun) The judge and jury stand before you now (baby’s got a big red gun) ‘Cause baby’s got a big red gun Baby’s got a big red gun Baby’s got a big red gun Oh momma what have I become?
	2. Afraid of Heights Lyrics Wherever I go, wherever I go I have to question the hand that I hold close Wherever I go, wherever I go I have to silence the words that you fear most Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go Are we destined to hit the ground below? Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go We’re at the end of a burning tightrope Now I’m waiting on the corner in the back of your mind It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide ‘Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time If we fall, we fall together baby, don’t think twice again Together I know, together I know That we’d burn like a rocket’s afterglow Together I know, together I know We could conquer the stars beyond this world We let it all go, we let it all go I’m just a voice on a broken radio We let it all go, we let it all go We got lost in the constellations Now I’m waiting on the corner in the back of your mind It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide ‘Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time If we fall, we fall together baby, don’t think twice again And after all these years, and all of this time Darling, if I’m still a question in your mind Just say the words and this will end You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights You told me we should never be afraid of heights again You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights If we fall, we fall together baby, don’t think twice again Wherever I go, wherever I go I hear your voice on a broken radio Wherever I go, wherever I go I know we’ll burn like a rocket’s afterglow Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go So are we destined to hit the ground below? Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go Are we just watching the final chapter close?
	3. Ghost Ship of Cannibal Rats Lyrics Is never given enough today I’m tired of looking the other way (Respect!) An appetite that we can’t sustain We’re on a mission to kiss our days away So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear? Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here A generation of castaways Under a nation of tidal waves (Respect!) Are we the passengers or the prey? You can’t escape from the past on holiday So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?

Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass? All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats Catastrophic events don’t change Today we feast, but tomorrow we pay (Respect!)

	4. Louder Than the DJ Lyrics The party’s over, called it a night I hope you had the time of your life They say that rock will never survive It’s up to youth to keep her alive And I don’t know what’s making you tick Generation narcissistic Little Miss Selfie, Lonely Boy Slick It’s time you get a brand new fix, baby Louder, louder, louder than the DJ Louder, louder, louder than the DJ Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves Louder, louder, louder than the DJ Louder than the DJ Louder than the DJ We surfed until the end of the set Our leather jackets covered in sweat Those glory days, they ain’t over yet So light that torch and burn like a jet ‘Cause revolution starts on the mic Strike three chords that cut like a knife Radio needs a shot to the vein Of anger, fury, heartache, and pain, baby Louder, louder, louder than the DJ Louder, louder, louder than the DJ Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves Louder, louder, louder than the DJ Someone said a long time ago Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old She still got the fire left in her bones The lights go down, the crowd explodes Louder than the DJ Louder than the DJ Louder than the DJ Louder than the DJ Louder than the DJ Louder than the DJ Louder than the DJ Louder than the DJ Someone said a long time ago Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old She still got the fire left in her bones And we’re not gonna pack up and go cause we’re Louder, louder, louder than the DJ Louder, louder, louder than the DJ Louder, louder, louder than the DJ She’ll be back some day, I know, baby Louder, louder, louder than the DJ Louder, louder, louder than the DJ Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves Louder, louder, louder than the DJ Someone said a long time ago Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old She still got the fire left in her bones The lights go down, the crowd explodes Louder than the DJ (And Ian’s guitar) Louder than the DJ (The band at the bar) Louder than the DJ (Never change who you are) Louder than the DJ
	5. The Crutch Lyrics Alive! And right before your eyes It’s easy to think twice A choice can change your life Angry fists, angry eyes Thought you’d take them by surprise And unleash all your demons upon them With your guns and your knives Left them fighting to survive You’re the villain but you played the victim Never took no advice Did you ever realize That your violence had taken your virtue Well you can’t wash away the mistakes of yesterday When the boys wearing blue come to greet you And I can hear the sirens still calling your name And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames When love was still around When love was still around One day before it all came crashing down Did you stop and regret? When the voice inside your head Got so quiet that you’d hear a pin drop Did you still like the view When their guns were aimed at you? Screaming “Out of the house with your hands up!” Now you wait in the line For the prison bell to chime Singing “I fought the law but the law won” When you’re done serving time You can look them in the eyes While you count all the lives that you’ve broken And I can hear the sirens still calling your name And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames When love was still around When love was still around One day before it all came crashing down And I can see the flashing lights take you away And now the tears are rolling down your mother’s face When love was still around When love was still around One day before it all came crashing down When love was still around When love was still around One day before it all came crashing down When love was still around When love was still around Some day you’ll see the life that you turned down Alive! And right before your eyes It’s easy to think twice A choice can change your life
	6. Rabbit Down the Hole Lyrics Buried in the mail before the early morning Under the frost that’s forming his words are calling Even though alarm bells ring without a warning All of the clocks keep ticking, and time keeps flowing Everyone that I hold dearly, I try to keep them close ‘Cause some of them get bitten by the rabbit down the hole Once they walk past through the grass, they’re never coming home Easy to live but yet so hard to nail Maybe they’ve lost their way but found their savior Living in the fable life’s a fairy tale Except our thoughts are fragile our minds are frail Everyone that you hold dearly, you try to keep them close ‘Cause some of them get bitten by that rabbit down the hole And once you walk past through the grass, you’re never coming home Good God what have I done? Mother nature’s lonely son Mother nature’s lonely son Chase that rabbit down the hole Wander through the open door that leads to nowhere Who’s gonna take away my pain, take away my pain Before you know you’re trapped inside the spider’s web You’re screaming there is no escape, there is no escape The invitation’s written clearly, you’re the one he chose Until the day your bitten by the rabbit down the hole Follow his procession deep into the ground below Good God what have I done? Mother nature’s lonely son Mother nature’s lonely son Chase that rabbit down the hole I’ll drown or I will burn Down the path of no return Down the path of no return Chase that rabbit down the hole Rabbit down the hole I’d never thought I’d see her suffer, I gave her all I could And everything I had to offer, was never understood How many days until her mind has left this world for good? Good God what have I done? Mother nature’s lonely son Mother nature’s lonely son Chase that rabbit down the hole I’ll drown or I will burn Down the path of no return Down the path of no return Chase that rabbit down the hole One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll fade away (Chase that rabbit down the hole) One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away (Chase that rabbit down the hole) One of these days you’ll fade away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll fade away (Chase that rabbit down the hole) One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll fade away
	7. Time-Bomb Ticking Away Lyrics Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb nobody cares ’till it’s too late Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe We’re transfixed on a pendulum sky Watch another tank of gasoline run dry A death stare from a cold dead eye As you’re chopping up the carrot, sharpening their knives Don’t blink, keep your eyes on the prize While you rip me up to pieces, cut me down to size Don’t dare, try to keep it inside ‘Cause the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry Just when you thought you’ve seen it all A storm awaits behind the door Disgruntled right down to the core We still go on Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb nobody cares ’till it’s too late Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe Beat up, put the slate to the grind Another rocket launcher going off inside my mind Tight cuffs only hold me tight Every thought about the future leaves me terrified I’m sick of the same old lies Why don’t you talk about your feelings? Who gives a shit about mine? Death grips got a hold of my side Because the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry Just when you thought you’ve seen it all A storm awaits behind the door Disgruntled right down to the core We still go on Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb nobody cares till it’s too late Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe Oh, we got a time bomb ticking away inside And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb ticking away You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside Everybody needs a little help when the world is blind You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry You’re watching the time bomb ticking away You’re watching the time bomb ticking away You’re watching the time bomb ticking away You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (our world’s got no liberty) You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (locked up in a little cage) You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (this world is a bitter place) You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (our world’s got no liberty) You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (locked up in a little cage) You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (this world is a bitter place)
	8. Leave Them All Behind Lyrics Tired of all the promises and never coming through It’s easy to pretend until they turn their back on you And all the ones that bring you down, their colors weren’t that true And life’s become a battle that you swore you’d never lose It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right We’re always searching for the reason why And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb Don’t wait up for that moment to arrive Leave them all behind Yeah, I’m tired of all the promises and never coming through It’s easy to pretend until they turn their back on you Yeah, and all the ones that bring you down, their colors weren’t that true And when you lose your confidence your mind plays tricks on you It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right We’re always searching for the reason why And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb We keep on getting stuck here all the time We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind We’re gonna catch that train I know some day everything’s gonna fall in line I’ve been struck down and defeated every step along the way Become I’m your own worst enemy when nothing seems to change You have to fail a thousand times before you get it straight So catch me if you can ’cause I ain’t leaving this to fate It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right We’re always searching for the reason why And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb We keep on getting stuck here all the time We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line Oh, oh, oh Tired of all the promises and never coming through Stop waiting for that moment to arrive We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line Yeah!
	9. Horses & Chariots Lyrics Horses and chariots Churches and states Devotion turns dangerous When armed with rules of faith Prisoners and patriots Angels and saints If minds are persuaded enough Compassion turns to hate Time comes to bury us Together we must stay (Don’t let the) Horses and chariots Drag our love away No Borders and boundary signs Drawn by red tape Those who colour outside of the lines Define the human race Warlords and suffering eyes Soldiers and slaves The side of the fence that we climb Determines who’s afraid Time comes to bury us Together we must stay (Don’t let the) Horses and chariots Drag our love away (Until we) Swallow our pride Our hearts will collide And the skies of hysteria will Come rain down on you Cleanse the soul from the hands that divide Our world in time Time comes to bury us Well how can you live while so many die? (Don’t let the) Horses and chariots Hide the view from their eyes (Until we) Swallow our pride We’ve chosen a faith, we’ve chosen a side (Until we) Swallow our pride Our hearts will collide
	10. This Is Our War Lyrics Once there was a nation here Now there is no more Once we fought to change our fears But now this is our war (This is our war) This is our war Wash your mind out, where’s your morals? How many people have to live this sorrow? Life should not be begged or borrowed How many really want to change tomorrow? We’re still playing the prideful game As we profile the enemy that we created We’re still playing the prideful game With the cards on the table In the end we’re all the same Where’s the compassion in the world today? Yeah, we’re all the same Until we find another way This is our war (This is our war) Once there was a nation here Now there is no more (This is our war) Once we fought for change arm in arm But now this is our war Divisive words from ivory towers Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers Countless fools and reckless cowards Rally the people in the quest for power We’re still playing the prideful game As we profile the enemy that we created We’re still playing the prideful game With the cards on the table In the end we’re all the same Where’s the compassion in the world today? Yeah, we’re all the same Until we find another way This is our war (This is our war) Once there was a nation here Now there is no more (This is our war) Once we fought for change arm in arm But now this is our war Is this the land of segregation? Is this a place that we call home? Don’t let the old style generation Carry the flag for you and me no more This is our war This is our war We’re into the red, We’re into the red And as it burns the fire spreads We’re under the threat, We’re under the threat Will it still burn tomorrow? Once there was a nation here Now there is no more Once we fought to change our fears But now this is our war (This is our war) Once there was a nation here Now there is no more (This is our war) Once we fought for change arm in arm But now this is our war Is this the land of segregation? Is this a place that we call home? Don’t let the old style generation Carry the flag for you and me no more (This is our war) Once there was a nation divided Now this is our war (This is our war) Once we stand embraced arm in arm We stand for something more
	11. February Winds Lyrics Hey Another, tragedy has Set the scene for conscience to be revealed And all the February February winds are howling Don’t tell me we’re adversaries Don’t tell me we’re sworn enemies ‘Cause we all need necessary Means to protect what we love An ocean lies between us Sufferings are constant, we never see Behind our sanctuary Sanctuary, walls so easy to breathe Where is our apathy? Has, apathy been lost while drifting at sea We are the refugees Don’t worry we’ll survive on hopes of Don’t tell me we’re adversaries Don’t tell me we’re sworn enemies ‘Cause we all need necessary Means to protect what we love Light up your book of matches Open your hearts to action We all need second chances What reason to help but for love? February winds February winds No we are not adversaries We were not born enemies We all need necessary Means to protect what we love Light up your book of matches Open your hearts to action We all need second chances What reason to help but for love?

Screaming “Out of the house with your hands up!” Now you wait in the line For the prison bell to chime Singing “I fought the law but the law won” When you’re done serving time You can look them in the eyes While you count all the lives that you’ve broken And I can hear the sirens still calling your name And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames When love was still around When love was still around One day before it all came crashing down And I can see the flashing lights take you away And now the tears are rolling down your mother’s face When love was still around When love was still around One day before it all came crashing down When love was still around When love was still around One day before it all came crashing down When love was still around When love was still around Some day you’ll see the life that you turned down Alive! And right before your eyes It’s easy to think twice A choice can change your life
	6. Rabbit Down the Hole Lyrics Buried in the mail before the early morning Under the frost that’s forming his words are calling Even though alarm bells ring without a warning All of the clocks keep ticking, and time keeps flowing Everyone that I hold dearly, I try to keep them close ‘Cause some of them get bitten by the rabbit down the hole Once they walk past through the grass, they’re never coming home Easy to live but yet so hard to nail Maybe they’ve lost their way but found their savior Living in the fable life’s a fairy tale Except our thoughts are fragile our minds are frail Everyone that you hold dearly, you try to keep them close ‘Cause some of them get bitten by that rabbit down the hole And once you walk past through the grass, you’re never coming home Good God what have I done? Mother nature’s lonely son Mother nature’s lonely son Chase that rabbit down the hole Wander through the open door that leads to nowhere Who’s gonna take away my pain, take away my pain Before you know you’re trapped inside the spider’s web You’re screaming there is no escape, there is no escape The invitation’s written clearly, you’re the one he chose Until the day your bitten by the rabbit down the hole Follow his procession deep into the ground below Good God what have I done? Mother nature’s lonely son Mother nature’s lonely son Chase that rabbit down the hole I’ll drown or I will burn Down the path of no return Down the path of no return Chase that rabbit down the hole Rabbit down the hole I’d never thought I’d see her suffer, I gave her all I could And everything I had to offer, was never understood How many days until her mind has left this world for good? Good God what have I done? Mother nature’s lonely son Mother nature’s lonely son Chase that rabbit down the hole I’ll drown or I will burn Down the path of no return Down the path of no return Chase that rabbit down the hole One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll fade away (Chase that rabbit down the hole) One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away (Chase that rabbit down the hole) One of these days you’ll fade away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll fade away (Chase that rabbit down the hole) One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll break away One of these days you’ll fade away
	7. Time Bomb Ticking Away Lyrics Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb nobody cares ’till it’s too late Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe We’re transfixed on a pendulum sky Watch another tank of gasoline run dry A death stare from a cold dead eye As you’re chopping up the carrot, sharpening their knives Don’t blink, keep your eyes on the prize While you rip me up to pieces, cut me down to size Don’t dare, try to keep it inside ‘Cause the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry Just when you thought you’ve seen it all A storm awaits behind the door Disgruntled right down to the core We still go on Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb nobody cares ’till it’s too late Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe Beat up, put the slate to the grind Another rocket launcher going off inside my mind Tight cuffs only hold me tight Every thought about the future leaves me terrified I’m sick of the same old lies Why don’t you talk about your feelings? Who gives a shit about mine? Death grips got a hold of my side Because the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry Just when you thought you’ve seen it all A storm awaits behind the door Disgruntled right down to the core We still go on Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb nobody cares till it’s too late Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe Oh, we got a time bomb ticking away inside And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb ticking away You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside Everybody needs a little help when the world is blind You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry You’re watching the time bomb ticking away You’re watching the time bomb ticking away You’re watching the time bomb ticking away You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (our world’s got no liberty) You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (locked up in a little cage) You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (this world is a bitter place) You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (our world’s got no liberty) You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (locked up in a little cage) You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (this world is a bitter place)

	3. Nothing To Lose Lyrics Need more friends with wings All the angels I know Put concrete in my veins I’d always walk home alone So I became lifeless Just like my telephone There’s nothing to lose When no one knows your name There’s nothing to gain But the days don’t seem to change Never played truth or dare I’d have to check my mirror To see if I’m still here My parents had no clue That I ate all my lunches Alone in the bathroom There’s nothing to lose When no one knows your name There’s nothing to gain But the days don’t seem to change There’s nothing to lose My notebook will explain There’s nothing to gain And I can’t fight the pain Teach us that its just a phase When I grow up my children Will probably do the same Kids just love to tease I know it put me under ground At seventeen There’s nothing to lose When no one knows your name There’s nothing to gain But the days don’t seem to change There’s nothing to lose When no one knows your name There’s nothing to gain And I just died today
	4. Devil In A Midnight Mass Lyrics A devil in a midnight mass, He prayed behind stained glass A memory of Sunday class Resurrected from the past Hold your breath and count to four Pinky swears don’t work no more Footsteps down the hallway floor Getting closer to my door I was alive but now I’m singing Silent night for the rest of my life Silent night for the rest of my life Silent knight at the edge of your knife (Forgive me father) Won’t make it right Silent night for the rest of my life Silent night at the edge of your knife (You’re guilty!) A devil in a midnight mass Killed the boy inside the man The holy water in his hands Can never wash away his sins Hold your breath and count to four Pinky swears don’t work no more Put my trust in god that day Not the man that got his way I was alive but now I’m singing Silent night for the rest of my life Silent night for the rest of my life Silent night at the edge of your knife (Forgive me father!) Won’t make it right Silent night for the rest of my life Silent knight at the edge of your knife (You’re guilty!) Whisper, whisper don’t make a sound Your bed is made it’s in the ground Whisper, whisper don’t make a sound Your bed is made it’s in the ground Whisper, whisper don’t make a sound Your bed is made it’s in the ground Whisper, whisper don’t make a sound Your bed is made it’s in the ground Whisper, whisper don’t make a sound Your bed is made it’s in the ground Whisper, whisper don’t make a sound Your bed is made and it’s in the ground

	6. Fallen Leaves Lyrics In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground I hitched a ride, until the coast To leave behind, all of my ghosts Searching for something, I couldn’t find at home Can’t get no job, can you spare a dime? Just one more hit, and I’ll be fine I swear to God, this’ll be my one last time! In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground When it gets dark, in Pigeon Park Voice in my head, will soon be fed By the vultures, that circle round the dead! In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground I never once thought, I’d ever be caught! Staring at sidewalks, hiding my track marks! I left my best friends, or did they just leave me? In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground Run away before you drown! Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground
	7. Surrender Lyrics She reads a book from across the street Waiting for someone that she’ll never meet Talk over coffee for an hour or two She wonders why I’m always in a good mood Killing time before she struts her stuff She needs support and I’ve become the crutch She’ll never know how much she means to me I’d play the game but I’m the referee every word, every thought, every sound (Surrender) every touch, every smile, every frown (Surrender) all the pain we’ve endured until now (Surrender) all the hope that I lost, it was found (Surrender) yourself to me Even though I know what I’m looking for She’s got a brick wall behind her door I’d travel time and confess to her But I’m afraid she’d shoot the messenger every word, every thought, every sound (Surrender) every touch, every smile, every frown (Surrender) all the pain we’ve endured until now (Surrender) all the hope that I lost, you have found (Surrender) yourself to me I think I found a flower in a field of weeds I think I found a flower in a field of weeds Searching until my hands bleed This flower don’t belong to me I think I found a flower in a field of weeds I think I found a flower in a field of weeds Searching until my hands bleed This flower don’t belong to me This flower don’t belong to me Why can’t she belong to me? Every word, every thought, every sound Every touch, every smile, every frown All the pain we’ve endured until now All the hope that I lost, you have found every word, every thought, every sound (Surrender) every touch, every smile, every frown (Surrender) all the pain we’ve endured until now (Surrender) all the hope that I lost, you have found I never had the nerve to ask (Surrender) Has my moment come and passed? (Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask (Surrender) Has my moment come and passed? (Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask (Surrender) Has my moment come and passed? (Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask
	8. Devil On My Shoulder Lyrics As I get closer, my dreams get farther I climb the ladder, but you kick it over Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker I dug a hole so deep I’m gonna drown in my mistakes Can’t even sell my soul ‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take I’ve got the devil on my shoulder, over and over And I just can’t sink any lower, lower and lower The hounds of hell are getting closer, closer and closer I’ve got the devil on my shoulder, over and over Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen There ain’t no pot of gold, just copper tokens I found the key to life, but the lock was broken All my accomplishments are best left unspoken I dug a hole so deep I’m gonna drown in my mistakes Can’t even sell my soul ‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take I’ve got the devil on my shoulder, over and over And I just can’t sink any lower, lower and lower The hounds of hell are getting closer, closer and closer I’ve got the devil on my shoulder, over and over My horror story is nearly over I said I’m sorry, but I was sober I beg for mercy from my infernal friend The one that drives the nails into my coffin I’ve got the devil on my shoulder I’ve got the devil on my shoulder I’ve got the devil on my shoulder, over and over And I just can’t sink any lower, lower and lower They’ve come to take me, take me over, over and over I’ve got the devil on my shoulder, over and over
	9. Rusted From The Rain Lyrics I stumble through the wreckage, rusted from the rain There’s nothing left to salvage, no one left to blame Among the broken mirrors, I don’t look the same I’m rusted from the rain, I’m rusted from the rain Dissect me ’till my blood runs down into the drain My bitter heart is pumping oil into my veins I’m nothing but a tin man, don’t feel any pain I don’t feel any pain, I’m rusted from the rain Go on, crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain Come on strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains And if I’m the King of cowards, you’re the Queen of pain I’m rusted from the rain, I’m rusted from the rain You hung me like a picture, now I’m just a frame I used to be a lap dog, now I’m just a stray Shackled in a graveyard, left here to decay Left here to decay, left here to decay I’m rusted from the rain Go on, crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain Come on strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains And if I’m the King of cowards, you’re the Queen of pain I’m rusted from the rain, I’m rusted from the rain Go on, crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain Come on strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains And if I’m the King of cowards, you’re the Queen of pain I’m rusted from the rain, I’m rusted from the rain
	10. Viking Death March Lyrics Down, let’s take it down Raise up the heads on a stake We will show no mercy On evolution’s mistake Change, will have to wait If we can’t decide on a fate Self appointed profits And a doomsday charade You preach about love And teach about fate But all your beliefs are still rooted in hate Crosses to burn Axes to fall And down on your knees you just don’t look so tall And down on your knees you just don’t look so tall Stop, punch in the clock Punch it with all of your rage Put the men in office For a minimum wage Rats, fighting for scraps Siphon the gas from your tank Left your pockets empty As they laughed at the bank They speak about draws But make no mistake They shaking your head while they spit in your face Crosses to burn Axes to fall And down on your knees you just don’t look so tall And down on your knees you just don’t look so tall Now, the time is now We can still turn it around Raise your voice like a weapon Til they fall to the ground Light, let there be light Without a shadow of doubt We will fight tooth and nail until Salvation is found So how can you look The world in the eyes When all we can see is corruption and lies And down on your knees you just don’t look so tall And down on your knees you just don’t look so tall Crackin the whip on the backs of the poor We asked you to stop but you still wanted more The blood on your hands left a trail as you crawl Down on your knees you just don’t look so tall Crosses to burn Axes to fall Down on your knees you just don’t look so tall Down on your knees you just don’t look so tall Down on your knees you just don’t look so tall Crosses to bend Crosses to burn Down on your knees, you don’t look so tall Open your eyes and the empire falls

Stand Up And Run Lyrics Oh I had a feeling Buried inside Covered beneath your Blanket of pride Oh I couldn’t tell you how numb I felt inside In so little time Stand up and run Stand up and run Stand up and run Stand up and run Into my arms Chasing the bright lights This city got old You walked out of my life and into the cold It’s hard to imagine that you’d never come home Forever alone Stand up and run Stand up and run Stand up and run Stand up and run Into my arms Stand up and run Stand up and run Stand up and run Stand up and run Into my heart Can’t you see there is not logic to love?

	14. Chasing The Sun Lyrics We try to stay young, by chasing the sun You blink for too long, the swans sing a song And all that I’ve lost, and all that I’ve won Don’t mean nothing more when you open your eyes and they’re gone After all we’ve been told, we’re still flesh and bone And life’s worth much more than silver and gold And all that I’ve lost, and all that I’ve won Don’t mean nothing more when you open your eyes and they’re gone And how could it be that we’ll never see The first day of spring and the last autumn leaves? So lost in my mind, I try to stay strong If wounds heal in time, tell me why it’s so hard to move on Hard to move on I’ll never move on I curse the mistakes that we’ll never make The pictures of trips that we’ll never take And all of these thoughts, they keep me awake Hang on to your heroes before it’s too late ‘Cause there’ll come a time when you open your eyes and they’re gone Some day they’re gone Some day they’ll be gone And I’ll still be here chasing the sun

Dead Silence

	1. Lonely Road To Absolution Lyrics The sun has born a brand new day Conscience has been cast away Evil has been blessed with praise Heroes end up in their graves So who will be your savior now? They’ve shot your angels to the ground It’s a lonely road to absolution we must walk along It’s a lonely road to absolution we must walk along We can’t take back the days we’ve borrowed No more time to kill tomorrow No more time to kill tomorrow
	2. Viking Death March Lyrics Down, lets take it down Raise up their heads on a stake We will show no mercy on evolution’s mistake Change, will have to wait If we can’t decide on a fate Self-appointed prophets and their doomsday charade You preach about love, teach about faith But all your beliefs are still rooted in hate! Crosses still burn, axes still fall And down on your knees you just don’t look so tall Crosses still burn, axes still fall And down on your knees you just don’t look so tall Stop, punch in the clock Punch it with all of your rage Put the man in office for a minimum wage Rats, fighting for scraps Siphoned the gas from your tank Left your pockets empty, as they laugh to the bank They speak about trust, but make no mistake They’re shaking your hand while they spit in your face! Crosses still burn, axes still fall And down on your knees you just don’t look so tall Crosses still burn, axes still fall And down on your knees you just don’t look so tall Now! the time is now We can still turn it around Raise your voice like a weapon, til’ they fall to the ground Light! Let there be light Without a shadow of doubt We will fight tooth and nail until salvation is found! So how can you look, the world in the eyes? When all we can see is corruption and lies! Down on your knees, you don’t look so tall Down on your knees, you don’t look so tall Cracking the whip on the backs of the poor We asked you to stop but you still wanted more The blood on your hands left a trail as you crawl Down on your knees you just don’t look so tall! Crosses still burn, axes still fall Down on your knees you just don’t look so tall! Crosses still burn, axes still fall Down on your knees you just don’t look so tall! Crosses still burn, axes still fall Down on your knees you just don’t look so tall! Crosses still burn, axes still fall Down on your knees, you don’t look so tall Open your eyes and the empire falls!

Surprise Surprise! Surprise Surprise! You’re much better looking when you’re in disguise Surprise Surprise! Surprise Surprise! And this revolution has been brought to you by… Those who seem to think we don’t care Those who seem to think we’re not aware Surprise Surprise! Surprise Surprise!

	4. Runnin’ Across The Tracks Lyrics It’s up to you! This ain’t no TV show You watch my head explode Ten thousand hours every day No time to be afraid Chase out the rattlesnakes Don’t let your fear control your fate The ghost of self-denial It whispers from the grave The road you can’t rely on’s A risk that you must take I’m runnin’ across the tracks, and I’ll never go back I’m runnin’ across the tracks, and I’ll never go back I’m pullin’ the blindfolds back, on a dead end life I’m runnin’ across the tracks, and I’ll never go back I’m runnin’ across the tracks, and I’ll never go back I’m ‘gonna escape this trap, ‘gotta get out alive Stuck in this prison cell Just like a criminal I count the years that went to waste If this road goes to hell I’ll fight back when I fail Made a career from my mistakes The ghost of self-denial It whispers from the grave The road you can’t rely on Could be your saving grace I’m runnin’ across the tracks, and I’ll never go back I’m runnin’ across the tracks, and I’ll never go back I’m pullin’ the blindfolds back, on a dead end life I’m runnin’ across the tracks, and I’ll never go back I’m runnin’ across the tracks, and I’ll never go back I’m ‘gonna escape the trap, ‘gotta get out alive Every step that I aim to take I fall behind, I fall behind Every neck that I had to break These scars are mine, these scars are mine Every day that I pray for you I close my eyes, I close my eyes At least I can say that we made it through The stars aligned, The stars aligned And words just can’t explain the struggle of a dead man’s fight And silver spoons can’t buy the wisdom of a hard earned life Every step that I aim to take I fall behind, I fall behind Every neck that I had to break These scars are mine, these scars are mine Every day that I pray for you I close my eyes, I close my eyes And I hope that you make it through Yeah I hope that you make it through It’s up to you! I’m runnin’ across the tracks, and I’ll never go back I’m runnin’ across the tracks, and I’ll never go back I’m pullin’ the blindfolds back, on a dead end life! I’m runnin’ across the tracks, and I’ll never go back I’m runnin’ across the tracks, and I’ll never go back I’m ‘gonna escape the trap, I gotta put up a fight! Every step that I aim to take I fall behind, I fall behind Every neck that I had to break These scars are mine, these scars are mine Every day that I pray for you I close my eyes, I close my eyes At least I can say that we made it through The stars aligned, The stars aligned The stars aligned!
	5. Love Was Still Around Lyrics Alive! And right before your eyes It’s easy to think twice A choice can change your life Angry fists, angry eyes Thought you’d take them by surprise And unleash all your demons upon them With your guns and your knives Left them fighting to survive You’re the villain but you played the victim Never took no advice Did you ever realize That your violence had taken your virtue Well you can’t wash away the mistakes of yesterday When the boys wearing blue come to greet you And I can hear the sirens still calling your name And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames When love was still around When love was still around One day before it all came crashing down Did you stop and regret? When the voice inside your head Got so quiet that you’d hear a pin drop Did you still like the view When their guns were aimed at you? Screaming “Out of the house with your hands up!” Now you wait in the line For the prison bell to chime Singing “I fought the law but the law won” When you’re done serving time You can look them in the eyes While you count all the lives that you’ve broken And I can hear the sirens still calling your name And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames When love was still around When love was still around One day before it all came crashing down And I can see the flashing lights take you away And now the tears are rolling down your mother’s face When love was still around When love was still around One day before it all came crashing down When love was still around When love was still around One day before it all came crashing down When love was still around When love was still around Some day you’ll see the life that you turned down Alive! And right before your eyes It’s easy to think twice A choice can change your life
	6. Stand Up And Run Lyrics I had a feeling Buried inside Covered beneath a Blanket of pride I couldn’t tell you What my heart felt inside In so little time Stand up and run, Stand up and run, Stand up and run, Stand up and run, Into my Arms Chasing the bright lights This city got old You walked out of my life And into the cold It’s hard to imagine, That you’d never come home Forever Alone Stand up and run, Stand up and run, Stand up and run, Stand up and run, Into my Arms Stand up and run, Stand up and run, Stand up and run, Stand up and run, Into my Heart Can’t you see there is no love logic to love, And we’re lost just like the stars up above, If I’d only known how you’d make me feel I would kiss the ground that touches your heel After all these years of being apart Don’t let reason try to tear us apart If the compass breaks then follow your heart And I hope it leads you right back into my arms And though time has passed, we’ll still make it last And I hope this leads you right back into my arms I had a feeling Buried inside
	7. Crooked Minds Lyrics Crooked minds have gone astray Have they never learned from yesterday Only a fool would wear the crown One day the kids will tear it down Can’t you see the clocks are ticking away They try to fit more hours into the day The CPU is crunching numbers away We’re running out of breath just to keep up the pace And when did the revolver start the race? When did the revolver start the race? Accelerated architecture creates A manufactured lifestyle for the deranged They swallow up the green and build up the grey And let tomorrow’s kids dispose of today And when do you think the roof will bottom out? When do you think the roof will bottom out? Crooked minds under grey skies They can’t live ’til something dies! The kids will tear it down! The kids will tear it down! Crooked Minds ain’t satisfied ‘Til the ground touches the sky, touches the sky! The kids will tear in down! The kids will tear it down! Cemetery statues stare into space Sucked into a social media craze They’re looking for an answer to explain The reason why disaster strikes again Picture perfect family sits at the lake Swimming in a sea of mechanical waste Why can’t they see a tragedy awaits? Can’t they see a tragedy awaits? Crooked minds under grey skies They can’t live ’til something dies! The kids will tear it down! The kids will tear it down! Crooked minds ain’t satisfied ‘Til the ground touches the sky, touches the sky! The kids will tear in down! The kids will tear it down! We’ll tear it down! Cauterize these bloodshot eyes Tangled in their power lines Tear the ground up with their knives Raise the caskets in the sky Some day soon we’ll realize Nothing’s left for you and I Nothing’s left for you and I Crooked minds have gone astray Have they never learned from yesterday Only a fool would wear the crown One day the kids will tear it down Crooked minds under grey skies They can’t live ’til something dies! The kids will tear it down! The kids will tear it down! Crooked Minds ain’t satisfied ‘Til the ground touches the sky, touches the sky! The kids will tear in down! The kids will tear it down! Cauterize these bloodshot eyes Tangled in their power lines Tear the ground up with their knives Raise the caskets in the sky Some day soon we’ll realize Nothing lives ’til something dies! ’til something dies! ’til something dies!
	8. Man Alive! Lyrics Man Alive! Don’t stand aside! While people make demands At first they’ll take your liberties then tie them ’round your hands Man Alive! Don’t stand aside! While people make demands When time goes by some day you’ll find their words are your command Well the bloodsucker society, is looking for recruits I took a sip of their sobriety, it doesn’t taste that good Well At first you’re fine with working overtime 10 years go by til you’re caught up the grind And can’t escape the fact your youth is fading fast These times won’t last and once they’re gone they don’t come back Man Alive! Don’t stand aside! While people make demands At first they’ll take your liberties then tie them ’round your hands Man Alive! Don’t stand aside! While people make demands When time goes by some day you’ll find their words are your command They try to fill you with anxiety, until you bite the hook They drop a line of notoriety, and flash a big chequebook Oh they’ll turn you blind for a nickel and a dime Don’t waste your time with their simple frame of mind You can’t escape the fact your youth is fading fast These times don’t last and once they’re gone they don’t come back. Man Alive! Don’t stand aside! While people make demands At first they’ll take your liberties then tie them ’round your hands Man Alive! Don’t stand aside! While people make demands Once time goes by some day you’ll find their words are your command Attention all personnel! Stand single file, resistance is futile! We’re gonna raise your hopes up Just to knock them down You got a bright bright future If you can shut your mouth And if you work the front lines To keep us safe and sound You won’t be compensated Until you’re in the ground Don’t waste a single breath For what society expects If history don’t lie They’re gonna take you for a ride until you die! Man Alive! Don’t stand aside! While people make demands At first they’ll take your liberties then tie them ’round your hands Man Alive! Don’t stand aside! While people make demands When time goes by some day you’ll find their words are your command
	9. Hanging By A Thread Lyrics Hello, hello, hello my darling, have we reached the end? Cause when the stitches fall apart we’re hanging by thread Hello, hello, hello my darling, some things never change When our words are dipped in gasoline, our love goes up in flames I tried so hard to get behind your mental barricade But every time it leaves me feeling damaged, torn, and frayed Hanging by a thread Hanging by a thread When you break my heart, I fall apart ’til you stitch me up again I’m tired of all the drama that unravels in your head Well, It’s easy to get tangled up when your world is torn to shreds And every time you spit at me, some day you will regret An ounce of insecurity is worth a pound of lead Hanging by a thread Hanging by a thread When you break my heart, I fall apart ’til you stitch me up again Hanging by a thread Hanging by a thread C’mon patch me up, or cut me loose, cause these rags are turning red C’mon patch me up, or cut me loose, cause I’m hanging by a thread Hello, hello, hello my darling, have we reached the end? Cause when the stitches fall apart we’re hanging by thread For all the times we’ve hurt eachother, with all the things we’ve said Well, it’s hard to hold this olive branch with a gun against my head Hanging by a thread Hanging by a thread When you break my heart, I fall apart ’til you stitch me up again Hanging by a thread Hanging by a thread C’mon patch me up or cut me loose, cause these rags are turning red C’mon patch me up or cut me loose, cause I’m hanging by a thread
	10. Cure For The Enemy Lyrics Time Drifts through the sky Without a reason why We walk past the flowers Don’t stop for a breath Until they’re above our heads We used to fight Have we made amends? Father I just can’t tell Watching you spend The time you have left Trapped in a cold blue bed In darkness we’ll rest Count the days down to one last breath In darkness we’ll rest So forgive what you can’t forget We said That we would call But we never spoke at all The years drfited by We built up these walls For reasons that seem so small If this is the end Let’s bury the past This might be our one last chance Together until The last grain of sand Has dropped from the hourglass (So open your Eyes) Open your eyes, and don’t forget to breathe (If we lose the fight) If we lose the fight, your spirit will live through me (It’s time we make right) It’s time we make right the pages of history (Until we find) Until we find a cure for the enemy All those you’ve loved All those who’ve died All we have left is what lives in our mind All those you’ve loved All those who’ve died I know their spirits are up in the sky (So open your Eyes) Open your eyes, and don’t forget to breathe (If we lose the fight) If we lose the fight, your spirit will live through me (It’s time we make right) It’s time we make right the pages of history (Until we find) Until we find a cure for the enemy And in darkness we’ll rest Count the days down to one last breath And in darkness we’ll rest So forgive what you can’t forget All those you’ve loved All those who’ve died All we have left is what lives in our mind All those you’ve loved All those who’ve died I know their spirits are up in the sky

Don’t Count On The Wicked Lyrics This heart don’t count on the wicked These hands don’t fight at all This mind don’t do what it’s told to These eyes don’t cry at all, Don’t cry at all, hey-oh…hey-oh… These eyes don’t cry at all, hey-oh…hey-oh… This heart don’t count on the wicked We face this world alone When all they want is to break you Turn anger into hope Within this city of villains I walk these streets alone When everyone is a stranger Their eyes turn me to stone Turn me to stone, hey-oh…hey-oh… Your eyes turn me to stone, hey-oh…hey-oh… This heart don’t count on the wicked We face this world alone When all they want is to break you This anger into hope I’m telling you, tonight I swear to tear out these nails, From the cross I’ve bared for giving you control of me, This heart don’t count on the wicked This anger turns to hope, it turns to hope Calling from the mountain tops Rain is falling from the sky above They surround you with their darkest thoughts ‘Til you drown you in pessimistic talk You say you don’t care, if the atom drops You say you don’t care, if the world is lost They’ll never break you, if you’re strong enough They’ll never change you, If you turn your anger into hope! This heart don’t count on the wicked We face this world alone When all they want is to break you Turn anger into hope I’m telling you, tonight I swear to tear out these nails, From the cross I’ve beared for giving you control of me, This heart don’t count on the wicked This anger turns to hope, we turn it to hope We turn it to hope (4) Anger turns to hope! We turn it to hope (4) Anger turns to hope!
	12. Show Me The Way Lyrics Put me on an aeroplane A million miles away She’s opened up her book of hate And tore a brand new page Tonight I’ll find a wishing well, tomorrow’s a new day Tonight I’ll find a wishing well, before it’s too late… Show me the way, show me the way! Why do my dreams keep slipping away? Show me the way, show me the way! Spent a whole lifetime running away She questioned my ability To learn from my mistakes I said she’d need a guillotine To put me in my place Tonight I’ll write my eulogy, before I fade away Tonight I’ll write my eulogy, so don’t be afraid… Show me the way! Show me the way! Why do my dreams keep slipping away? Show me the way! Show me the way! Spent a whole lifetime running away And every time I close my eyes, I’ve lost another day Show me the way! Show me the way! Why do my dreams keep slipping away? The waves came crashing, down so fast That when the storm was over, the sky turned black And now I pray for sunshine! I pray for sunshine! I pray you’ll help me to escape! Show me the way, show me the way! Why do my dreams keep slipping away? Show me the way, show me the way! Spent a whole lifetime running away And every time I close my eyes I’ve lost another day Show me the way, show me the way! Why do my dreams keep slipping away? And every time we close our eyes we’ve lost another day And every time we close my eyes, dreams will have to wait
	13. Swallowed Up By The Ocean Lyrics We spent a life together That should have last forever But now it’s time to sail on So take this anchor from my heart So we can finally drift apart Before we drown in sorrow I gave you sanctuary Under the sun we lived carefree I tried so hard to love you But then you turned your back on me Your good intentions turned to greed And now it’s good to know that you have been… Swallowed Up By the Ocean Swallowed Up By the Ocean Swallowed Up By the Ocean Swallowed Up The bluest skies turned into grey Through tortured eyes I watched you change Our paradise went up in flames And though I cried a thousand times You didn’t hear the rising tide There’s nowhere left to hide since you have been… Swallowed Up By the Ocean Swallowed Up By the Ocean Swallowed Up By the Ocean Swallowed Up Your devastation took its toll As the waves came crashing to the coast This sinking ship I’m taking back from your control It felt so good to cross my arms And renounce my faith in mankind How could you ever be so blind To think that you’d survive? Swallowed Up By the Ocean Swallowed Up By the Ocean I hope you know that nothing matters now that you have been… Swallowed Up By the Ocean Swallowed Up By the Ocean I hope you know this ship has finally come to rest I hope you know this ship has finally come to rest I hope you know some day this ship will be your end
	14. Dead Silence Lyrics Living underneath the land of sorrow I can hear the bombs reign down And how do I explain there’s no tomorrow I can hardly make a sound Dead Silence! A fate we can’t escape ’til death do us part in the end They’re marching up the main street, as my heart beats Louder than machine gun fire The sound of all the sirens, sing like violins Rattling the cold barbwire I heard the soldiers say, ‘Don’t let him get away!’ But I could not escape their bullets and grenades A casualty of war? a victim of mistake? Another widow has been made Dead silence, will come to rescue me When violence, has took this world away Dead silence, a fate we can’t escape ’til death do us part in the end Dead silence, will come to rescue me When violence, has took this world away Dead Silence, no time to be afraid My love I will see you again Fly away like the wind, some things God can’t forgive Why is war justified, while the innocent die? They can tear us apart, I’ll still live in your heart If your spirit gives up, don’t surrender your love And the world will survive, if we stand side by side One day hope will arrive, but now I must say goodbye Dead silence, will come to rescue me When violence, has took this world away Dead silence, a fate we can’t escape ’til death do us part in the end Dead silence, will come to rescue me When violence, has took this world away Dead Silence, no time to be afraid My love I will see you again

We don’t always see the bright side, we all need ego suicide, you hung my ID today, but I have licked my wounds and carried on Everybody needs some sympathy Santa seemed to miss my chimney Reality is truly scaring me So stand up straight and firmly say… What you see is what you get! Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker Look at me and don’t forget! Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers My heart is in the right place, so wipe that smirk right off your face, don’t make me feel like that, cause that’s just plain not nice! We don’t always see the bright side, and I lied when I said I was fine, you slapped my face today but, I have licked my wounds and carried on Everybody needs some sympathy Santa seemed to miss my chimney Reality is truly scaring me So stand up straight and firmly say… What you see is what you get! Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker Look at me and don’t forget! Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers Everybody needs some sympathy Santa seemed to miss my chimney You stole my luck from me, and now my fortune cookie’s empty! What you see is what you get! Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker Look at me and don’t forget! Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers

	1. Prisoners Of Today (iTunes Session) Lyrics I never bite off more than I can chew but then she came and bit me, I never bite off more than I can chew but then she bit my leg, She said “don’t wanna work I wanna play and live my life like it was Sunday!” “The only problem is that Sunday only comes now once a week and I’m a freak but…” We’re breaking up the city, no time for wasting away, so tell me why should we stay, prisoners of today! My body is tired my souls excited and I wish that I was gifted, My body is tired my souls excited and I wish I had some spunk, She said ” I wanna run, I wanna hide, and leave this place just like it left me” “The only problem is I need to find the balls to follow through and that’s the truth now…” We’re breaking up the city, no time for wasting away, so tell me why should we stay, prisoners of today! When there’s no time for one another? Cause this is our time and our place… History I can’t erase! We’re breaking up the city, no time for wasting away, so tell me why should we stay, prisoners of today! When there’s no time for one another? There’s no time for one another?
	2. Standing In the Rain (iTunes Session) Lyrics My head, it hurts, each day it’s getting worse, My looks and smile have now become my curse, Tight lips, red skirt the never ending street, Big car, little man, my lover for a fee… So if ya see me will ya just drive on by Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye? And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you Oh pretty baby how could you! Standing in the rain… Milk carton mug shot baby missing since 1983, Standing in the rain… 20 years of dirty needles rain drops running through my veins! My head, it hurts, each day it’s getting worse, No sun, my room has now become my hearse, Cold sores, I’m beat got bruises on my feet, My pride, these men have taken it from me! So if ya see me will ya just drive on by Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye? And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you Oh pretty baby how could you! Standing in the rain… Milk carton mug shot baby missing since 1983, Standing in the rain… 20 years of dirty needles rain drops running through my veins! So if ya see me will ya just drive on by Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye? And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you Oh pretty baby how could you! Standing in the rain… Milk carton mug shot baby, mother I have lost my way

	1. Devil On My Shoulder Lyrics As I get closer, my dreams get farther I climb that ladder, but you kick it over Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker I dug a hole so deep I’m gonna drown in my mistakes Can’t even sell my soul ‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) And I just can’t sink any lower (lower and lower) The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer) I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen There ain’t no pot of gold, just copper tokens I found the key to life, the lock was broken All my accomplishments, are best left unspoken I dug a hole so deep I’m gonna drown in my mistakes Can’t even sell my soul ‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) And I just can’t sink any lower (lower and lower) The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer) I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) My horror story is nearly over I said I’m sorry, but I was sober I beg for mercy from my infernal friend The one that drops the nails into my coffin I got the devil on my shoulder I got the devil on my shoulder I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) And I just can’t sink any lower (lower and lower) They come to take me, take me over (closer and closer) I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)

	4. Tears Into Wine Lyrics The gun is loaded when the glass is full Down the hatch and the trigger’s pulled Off the wagon and back onto the stool I know that when I stare into your eyes I can see all the years of lies Ghosts and demons you never exorcised All the friends that I’ve ever known Are the streetlamps I follow home And I’m in the crowd but I’m all alone Oh Lord, I just can’t Tear the moon from the stars tonight Twist my arm like a knife tonight And if you wanna leave that’s alright Well I’ll just turn these tears into wine His fate was written on a neon sign A DUI never changed his mind He got hooked like a fish caught on a line You never gave yourself a chance to shine Your destination’s a chalk outline And when you get to the gates you’ll be denied All the friends that I’ve ever known Are the streetlamps I follow home And I’m in the crowd but I’m all alone Oh Lord, I just can’t Tear the moon from the stars tonight Twist my arm like a knife tonight And if you wanna leave that’s alright Well I’ll just turn these tears into wine Tear the moon from the stars tonight Twist my arm like a knife tonight And if you wanna leave that’s alright Well I’ll just turn these tears into wine All the friends that I’ve ever known Are the streetlamps I follow home The tide keeps pulling me down I try to reach higher ground I’ll never give up and drown Even though I just can’t Tear the moon from the stars tonight Twist my arm like a knife tonight And if you wanna leave that’s alright Well I’ll just turn these tears into wine Tear the moon from the stars tonight Twist my arm like a knife tonight And if you wanna leave that’s alright Well I’ll just turn these tears into wine Tears into wine Tears into wine Well, I’ll just turn these tears into wine
	5. White Sparrows Lyrics Today I walked down our old street Past the diner where we’d meet Now I dine alone in our old seats The cold wind blows right through my bones And I feel like I’m getting old But I wish I was getting old with you I held your hand when we took shelter from the rain She laughed as we picked out our children’s names White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray Her clothes hang in the closet still The phone sits on the windowsill And every time it rings it gives me chills My heart just stopped when I was told Doctor, doctor, on the phone Said my love was never coming home I hold your casket gently walking to the grave Dark clouds eclipse the sun won’t shine again White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray They gave her one more day To say the words I couldn’t say I’m crying in pain, crying in pain And I’m not looking for answers No, I’m not looking for answers But dear God, why did you choose her? White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray They gave her one more day To say the words I couldn’t say I’m crying in pain (crying in pain) Crying in pain Our love will remain I’m crying in pain
	6. Pocketful Of Dreams Lyrics Vanities are only charity And she makes donations at the Tiffany’s, Life is hard without a credit card to get by, get by She sold her dreams for security To a man that now she hardly ever sees With a cold martini in her hand, she don’t mind, don’t mind So throw all your luxuries aside You can’t take them with you when you die Still when I look into your Eyes are full of dollar signs Oh, reach, into a pocketful of dreams Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail you’re too scared to try cause you might break a nail, oh If you design a plastic happiness, Then climb the social ladder to the top my friend, And don’t forget to thank the piggy bank in the sky, so high So throw all your luxuries aside You can’t take them with you when you die Still when I look into your Eyes are full of dollar signs, Oh, reach, into a pocketful of dreams Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail you’re too scared to try cause you might break a nail Oh, reach, into a pocketful of dreams Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail you’re too scared to try cause you might break a nail, oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Oh, reach, into a pocketful of dreams Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail you’re too scared to try cause you might break a nail Oh, reach, into a pocketful of dreams Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail you’re too scared to try cause you might break a nail Oh, reach, into a pocketful of dreams Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail you’re too scared to try cause you might break a nail Oh, reach, into a pocketful of dreams Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail you’re too scared to try cause you might break a nail, oh
	7. The Dead Can’t Testify Lyrics Let the rain fall down, let it fall to the ground, Let the rain fall down to the ground. And the birds don’t sing, no they don’t make a sound, When you’re six feet underground. Well they cast me out when the word spread around That I never sang in the church. And it took one night for the town to decide I’m afflicted by the curse. And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground. And the birds don’t sing, no they don’t make a sound. So I look to the sky, tell me why, tell me why, Do they all get to live, and I have to die? So they marched me down to the center of town, With their pitchforks high in the air. I was chained and bound with a blindfold around So the judge wouldn’t catch my stare. And they hung my soul from the gallows pole But the witch they never found. So to those who don’t fit society’s mold, Learn to swim or you will drown. And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground. And the birds don’t sing, no they don’t make a sound. So I look to the sky, tell me why, tell me why, Do they all get to live, and I have to die? And the angels sing: let it shine, let it shine, Dry the teardrops from my eyes. And the bells will ring when the blind lead the blind, ‘Cause the dead can’t testify. And because I can’t take an eye for an eye, In the afterlife I’ll haunt you ’till you die! And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground (Let teardrops hit the ground!) And the birds don’t sing, no they don’t make a sound (When you’re six feet underground!) So I look to the sky, tell me why, tell me why, Do they all get to live, and I have to die? And the angels sing: let it shine, let it shine, Dry the teardrops from my eyes. And the bells will ring when the blind lead the blind, ‘Cause the dead can’t testify. And because I can’t take an eye for an eye, In the afterlife I’ll haunt you ’till you die! And the angels sing: let it shine, let it shine, Dry the teardrops from my eyes. And the bells will ring when the blind lead the blind, ‘Cause the dead can’t testify. And because I can’t take an eye for an eye, In the afterlife I’ll haunt you ’till you die!
	8. Diamond On A Landmine Lyrics Woah-oh-oh Woah-oh Woah-oh-oh Slapped my face, slammed the door A dozen roses lay on the floor I saw her friends and I was told She blocked my number from her cell phone You said we were meant to be Now this obsession is killing me Until I have a heart attack I’ll keep on trying to win you back Alone at last, I can’t wait till we’re alone at last All i wanted was a second chance, second chance To hold you in my arms at last Forever, forever I’ll walk a thousand miles Just to tell her, to tell her Our love is still alive And I’ll never, I’ll never I’ll never let it die Well you’d better watch your step She’s a diamond on a landmine I’m not so sure about this word But she kept calling me insecure I tried to quit but there’s no use Cause I’m addicted to her abuse She’s in control of everything I’m just a puppet, she pulls my strings Denying truth, I’ll test my fate And keep on playing this wicked game Alone at last, I can’t wait till we’re alone at last All i wanted was a second chance, second chance To hold you in my arms at last Forever, forever I’ll walk a thousand miles Just to tell her, to tell her Our love is still alive And I’ll never, I’ll never I’ll never let it die Well you’d better watch your step She’s a diamond on a landmine Better watch your step She’s a diamond on a landmine Better watch your step She’s a diamond on a landmine Waiting to explode We’re dancing on thin ice before Frozen from the winter’s cold And if it were to crack below I’d never let you go Alone at last, I can’t wait till we’re alone at last All i wanted was a second chance, second chance To hold you in my arms at last Forever, forever I’ll walk a thousand miles Just to tell her, to tell her Our love is still alive And I’ll never, I’ll never I’ll never let it die Well you’d better watch your step She’s a diamond on a landmine Better watch your step She’s a diamond on a landmine Better watch your step She’s a diamond on a landmine Waiting to explode Better watch your step She’s a diamond on a landmine Better watch your step She’s a diamond on a landmine Better not touch She’s a diamond on a landmine Better to forget She’s a diamond on a landmine Waiting to explode
	9. Turn Your Back Lyrics And when the clock strikes 12, tell me where you gonna be? Cleaning up the mess we’ve made or watching your TV? And if you have to ask, then you don’t have a clue, There’s snow in Arizona while they’re bombing in Beirut! I hope some day…when i’m dead and gone, We learn to right…everything that’s wrong, With loving hands…turn sick to strong, Our time will tell…if life goes on, on, on, on, on When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can’t ignore, You run, run, away! but there’s no place to hide, mate!

	12. Bloody Nails And Broken Hearts (Digital Pre-order Bonus Track) Lyrics Lay down, lay down with your drunken fools, I never thought you could be so cruel. And all the rumours I heard were true, You had another man in the room. Peel off the banner just from the wound, I still have plenty of scars to prove. I’m sick of coverin’ up the truth, So now I’m takin’ it back from you. From the start, drew a target on my heart, So you can throw your poison darts. You’ll never kill, never kill. You left a trail right from the start, Of bloody nails and broken hearts. And you keep tearin’ them apart, With bloody nails and broken hearts. Yeah! Now I know fairy tales don’t come true, And Cinderella don’t fit the shoe. Some day I’ll get back the love I gave, Some day you’ll pay for the mess you’ve made. From the start, drew a target on my heart, So you can throw your poison darts. You’ll never kill, never kill, never kill. You left a trail right from the start, Of bloody nails and broken hearts. And you keep tearin’ them apart, With bloody nails and broken hearts. You left a trail right from the start, Of bloody nails and broken hearts. And I bet you thought I’d miss your bitter kiss. Your bitter kiss, your bitter kiss, I’ll never miss your bitter kiss. Your bitter kiss, your bitter kiss, I’ll never miss your bitter kiss. So now I’m takin’ it back from you, (So now I’m takin’ it back from you) Yeah now I’m takin’ it back from you. You left a trail right from the start, Of bloody nails and broken hearts. And you keep tearin’ them apart, With bloody nails and broken hearts. You left a trail right from the start, Of bloody nails and broken hearts. And I bet you thought I’d miss your bitter kiss. Your bitter kiss, your bitter kiss
