Clock is ticking while I'm killing time
Spinning all around
Nothing else that you can do to turn it back
Wicked partnership in this crime
Ripping off the best
Condescending smile

Trying to forget (Wasting my time)
We're falling right through
Lying to forget (Telling more lies)
We're raising our truth
Go on and tease me

Clock is ticking while I'm stealing time
Can't you turn it back?
Stop the cycle set it free and run away
Silent sneaking along my path
Rugged the road but we
Feel it like we're flying
(Feel it like we're flying)

Trying to forget (Wasting my time)
We're falling right through
Lying to forget (Telling more lies)
We're raising our truth

Trying to forget (Wasting my time)
We're falling right through
Lying to forget (Telling more lies)
We're raising our truth

Oh, no, here it is again
I need to know, when I will fall into decay...
Somethin' wrong, with every plan of my life
I didn't really
Notice that you've been here...

Hey, yeah...
Dolefully desired...
Destiny of a lie...

Set me free, your heaven's a lie
Set me free wit' your love
Set me free, yeah
Set me free, your heaven's a lie
Set me free wit' your love
Set me free, yeah

Mm-hmm
Mm-hmm

Somethin' wrong with all the plans of my life...
I didn't realise
That you've been here...

Hey, yeah...
Dolefully desired...
Destiny of a lie...

I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
If you thought I'd leave then you were wrong
'Cause I won't stop holding on
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?

If you thought I'd leave then you were wrong
'Cause I won't stop holding on
This is an emergency
So are you listening?
And I can't pretend that I don't see this

It's really not your fault
That no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it

'Cause I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
And I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserved to be alive
Alive

So you give up every chance you get
Just to feel new again
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
And you do your best to show me love
But you don't know what love is

So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
Well, I can't pretend that I don't see this

But it's really not your fault
That no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it

'Cause I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
And I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserved to be alive
Alive

These scars, they will not fade away

No one cares to talk about it
To talk about it

'Cause I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
And I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserved to be alive
Alive

Sail away my little sister
Sail away to the other side

There's a light and a darkened road
There's a night and a fading hope
There was a dream that once was mine
But now it seems it has passed with time

Sail away my little sister
Sail away to the other side (to the other side)
Sail away my little sister
Sail away far into the night
Where times seems much better
Than this void called life

There's a voice inside my head
There's a hope, now long since dead
It's all a wonder, will I abide
I hear you calling from the other side
I hear you calling from the other side

Sail away my little sister
Sail away to the other side (to the other side)
Sail away my little sister
Sail away far into the night
Where times seems much better
Than this void called life


I hear you calling from the other side

Sail away my little sister
Sail away to the other side (to the other side)
Sail away my little sister
Sail away far into the night
Where times seems much better
Than this void called life

Perfect by nature
Icons of self-indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that...

...never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled

Look, here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh, how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending

But now I know she

...never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

Without the mask, where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your lie

I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore

It never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool

Come on!

Grab the bull by the horns the old adage goes.
Nobody tells you where to go from here.
Seems like fates pulling you.
Decisions have to be made.
The best path is the hardest earned.

Back and forth the struggle consumes us all.
Trying to keep a level head.
In the most unsettling of times.
Today I'll become the bull.

There is so much to stake.
I stumble, I lose my place.
Pride and arrogance surrounded by sin.
Destiny takes it's hold.
Fight it or let it go.
But I choose how the day will end.

Back and forth the struggle consumes us all.
Trying to keep a level head.
In the most unsettling of times.
Today I'll become the bull. [x2]

This walk can get lonely
I lose myself inside my head.
No one can touch you when you're outside staring in.
Remove myself from this rat race.

Back and forth the struggle consumes us all.
Trying to keep a level head.
The most unsettling of times.
Today I'll become the bull. [x5]

He bends and he breaks
If he gives they will take away
His passion, his pain, his grace

He exhales,
A thousand black flowers explode
Into butterflies as they're away

[Chorus:]
Rip them out, take them,
Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
See him numb, see him crushed (see him numb, see him crushed)
Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
Leave them numb, leave them crushed (leave them numb, leave them crushed)

Took the fire inside
One too many times
He's burning over and out now,
He flails
Up against the raging tides,
No more fights
Everything you ever wanted to see,
See it in his eyes
One more time, one more time

Climb down to test the waters,
My hands feel like they're rusting away, yeah, yeah, yeah,
So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter
I'll stay here as long as you let me,
Decision's been made obvious so I will return
Where I started I'll stay here
When I'm finished I'll whither away

[Chorus]

You can illustrate your life in romance.
But I can show you something so much more than words,
In my hands.
It's not your best intention now to burn your friends,
This is your last night, this is your last chance.
In my hands

(Die romantic, romantic)
This is the nightmare we fall asleep.
(Die romantic, romantic)
This is the nightmare we die complete.
(Die romantic, romantic)
Tonight's the night, and it's all we need now
To die romantic

I sat and watched your heartbeat fade with every breath.
I watched your lips turn blue, your eyes went cold and all,
with all the rest.
I felt the panic and tried to breathe.
Is this happening?
I've fucking had it.
Well, God, save me, please.
'Cause I don't think she'll make it through the night.

(Die romantic, romantic)
This is the nightmare we fall asleep.
(Die romantic, romantic)
This is the nightmare we die complete.
(Die romantic, romantic)
Tonight's the night, and it's all we need now
To die romantic
[x2]

Your last words to me "tonight's the night" meant redemption was only found in books.
Your last words to me "tonight's the night" meant redemption was harder than it looks.
So take care of what you love
and all this stuff are remnants of a life in shattered glass,
it's all I have to ask.

I (I) miss (miss) you (you)!
I (I) miss (miss) you (you)!

You can illustrate your death in romance.
I can show you something so much more than words,
In my hands.
I felt the dead-end price you paid for everyday.
This is your last night,
Suicide kept tight,
You're gone tonight.

(Die romantic, romantic)
This is the nightmare we fall asleep.
(Die romantic, romantic)
This is the nightmare we die complete.
(Die romantic, romantic)
Tonight's the night, and it's all we need now
To die romantic
[x2]

Die romantic, die romantic, die romantic,

You sink your teeth and bite the blood that drains the life inside of me
and fills your soul with love and hate and all those things you need to breathe.
My body dies but still my soul remains eternally
in search of Caspian waves and shallow graves explain why me?

This nightmare won't last long.
Are you scared? So sing this song.
I'm right there by your side.
Tonight we've got a chance.

I watched the sky bleed grey with see through shades of violent bloody stains
and felt the evil prime and wicked start a course straight through my veins.
I'm so alive, my skin so cold and fake I close my eyes
I know that now's the time to take my chance with death and realize.

Sunrise, sunset will you wash away the rain.
Sunrise, sunset can you wash away the pain.

This nightmare won't last long.
Are you scared? So sing this song.
I'm right there by your side.
Tonight we've got a chance.

This nightmare won't last long.
Are you scared? So sing this song.
I'm right there by your side.
Tonight we've got a chance.

So mute and beautiful to me a promise kept on high,
an angelic look at life through open eyes.
Don't be scared we'll make it work,
we're right on time don't make things worse
now I'm right there by your side.

(Sunrise) I will avenge, (sunset) I can't pretend,
(Sunrise) I wont forget this vein (sunset) attempt and promise kept,
just one more night to make up for the loss of love and time
here comes the sun to rid this world of see through blood and swollen light.

Sunrise, sunset will you wash away the rain.
Sunrise, sunset can you wash away the pain.

This nightmare won't last long.
Are you scared? So sing this song.
I'm right there by your side.
Tonight we've got a chance.

This nightmare won't last long.
Are you scared? So sing this song.
I'm right there by your side.
Tonight we've got a chance.

The sunrise..
The last sunrise
The last sunrise
The last sunrise

I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died, we'd be together, ow
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

If I fall
If I fall down
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

At the end of the world or the last thing I see
You are never coming home, never coming home
Never coming home, never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever going to 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

I think you say sorry too much,
I think you got issues with trust
From the voices in your head that say
that you're too hard to love
I think you still live with the ghost of people you needed the most
That let you down and
taught you how to keep your closet door closed


But I've been there
and I would rather die (Would rather die)
Than watch you drown in tears that you need to cry

You can talk, you can talk to me
I can tell that you're not okay
You can spill your guts, I won't leave
You are not a burden to me
You can talk, you can talk to me

Even down in your darkest place
You can let your skeletons scream
You are not a burden to me

You are not a burden to me

I think that you never get heard
By thinking someone's got it worse
Been minimized so many times
That you believe it's deserved

I think you've been silent since youth
'Cause every time you speak your truth
You're stigmatized, retraumatized
By all the things you didn't choose

I don't mind your darker side, you can lose control (You can lose control)
I'd rather hear your hell than see your funeral

You can talk, you can talk to me
I can tell that you're not okay
You can spill your guts, I won't leave
You are not a burden to me
You can talk, you can talk to me
Even down in your darkest place
You can let your skeletons scream
You are not a burden to me

The monsters that you're holding back
There's no need to dress them up
Your ugly truth, gave depth to you
Now there's so much more to love

You can talk,
you can talk to me
I can tell that you're not okay
You can spill your guts,
I won't leave

You are not a burden to me
You can talk, you can talk to me
Even down in your darkest place
Don't ever be ashamed of your needs
You are not a burden to me

You are not a burden
You are not a burden
(You can talk, you can talk to me)
(You can talk, you can talk to me)
You are not burden to me
(You can talk, you can talk to me)
You are not a burden
Burden
Burden
Burden

The monsters that you're holding back
There's no need to dress them up
Your ugly truth, gave depth to you
Now there's so much more to love

Is it worth it can you even hear me
Standing with your spotlight on me
Not enough to feed the hungry
I'm tired and I felt it for awhile now
In this sea of lonely

The taste of ink is getting old
It's four o' clock in the fucking morning
Each day gets more and more like the last day
Still I can see it coming
While I'm standing in the river drowning
This could be my chance to break out

This could be my chance to say goodbye
At last it's finally over
Couldn't take this town much longer
Being half dead wasn't what I planned to be
Now I'm ready to be free

[Chorus]
So here I am it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this

And won't you think I'm pretty
When I'm standing top the bright lit city
And I'll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there to so you can see
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
And we'll drink and dance the night away

[Chorus]

savor every moment of this

As long as you're alive
Here I am
I promise I will take you there
[x2]

And won't you think I'm pretty
When I'm standing top the bright lit city
And I'll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there to so you can see
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there

[Chorus]

savor every moment of this [x2]

[Intro]
Change my attempt, good intentions

[Verse 1]
Crouched over
You were not there, living in fear
But signs were not
Really that scarce, obvious tears
But I will not
Hide you through this, I want you to help them
Please see
The bleeding heart perched on my shirt
Die, withdraw
Hide in cold sweat, quivering lips
Ignore remorse
Naming a kid "Living Wasteland"
This time you've tried
All that you can, turning you red

[Chorus]
Change my attempt, good intentions
Should I? Could I?
Here we are with your obsession
Should I? Could I?

[Verse 2]
Crowned hopeless
The article read "Living Wasteland"
This time you've tried
All that you can, turning you red
But I will not
Hide you through this, I want you to help


[Chorus]
Change my attempt, good intentions
Should I? Could I?
Here we are with your obsession
Should I? Could I?

[Bridge]
Heave the silver, hollow sliver
Piercing through another victim
Turn and tremble, be judgmental
Ignorant to all the symbols
Blind the face with beauty paste
Eventually, you'll one day know

[Chorus]
Change my attempt, good intentions
Limbs tied, skin-tight
Self-inflicted, his perdition
Should I? Could I?
Change my attempt, good intentions
Should I? Could I?

[Outro]
Should I? Could I?

[Verse 1: M. Shadows]
Like walkin' into a dream
So unlike what you've seen
So unsure, but it seems
'Cause we've been waitin' for you

Fallen into this place
Just givin' you a small taste
Of your afterlife here, so stay
You'll be back here soon anyway
I see a distant light
But girl, this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see
So how did this come to be?
Arrived too early

[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]
And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life, and realize this is going too far

[Chorus: M. Shadows]
I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time, I'm right
To move on and on
Far away from here

[Verse 2: M. Shadows]
Place of hope and no pain
Perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place, but refrain
'Cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place
Just givin' you a small taste
Of your afterlife here, so stay
You'll be back here soon anyway
This peace on Earth's not right
(Up with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time
(I'm much too young to fall)
So out of place, don't wanna stay
I feel wrong, and that's my sign
I've made up my mind

[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]
Gave me your hand, but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand, I have to leave and carry on my own life

[Chorus: M. Shadows]
I don't belong here, I gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time, I'm right
To move on and on
Far away from here
Got nothing against you, and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I'd hoped you might
Take me back inside
When the time is right

[Bridge: M. Shadows & The Rev]
Loved ones back home all cryin' 'cause they're already missin' me
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken, I'm chokin' on this ecstasy)
Oh, Lord, I'll try so hard, but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live! Ah!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: M. Shadows]
I don't belong here, I gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time, I'm right
To move on and on
Far away from here
Got nothing against you, and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I'd hoped you might
Take me back inside
When the time is right

[Verse 1: Joel Madden]
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of L.A.
The footsteps that were next to me have
Gone their separate ways
I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things
Don't always stay that way
I've done enough now to know this beautiful place
Isn't everything they say

[Pre-Chorus: Joel Madden]
I heard that evil comes disguised
Like the city of angels, I'm walking towards the light

[Chorus: Joel Madden]
Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
In the city, was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong, but I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son, I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered, I'm delivered

[Verse 2: M. Shadows]
You're from a small town, you're gonna grow up fast
Underneath these lights
Down in Hollywood on the boulevard
The dead come back to life
To the praying Mother and the worried Father
Let your children go
If they come back, they'll come home stronger
And if they don't, you'll know

[Pre-Chorus: Joel Madden]
They say that evil comes disguised
Like the city of angels, I'm walking towards the light

[Chorus: Joel Madden]
Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
In the city, was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong, but I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son, I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered, I'm delivered

[Bridge: Joel Madden & M. Shadows]
Baptized in the river (On my own)
Baptized in the river (On my own)
I wanna be delivered
On my own
On my own

[Guitar Solo: Synyster Gates]

[Outro: Joel Madden & M. Shadows]
Baptized in the river (On my own)
I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (On my own)
I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (On my own)
I wanna be delivered
I confess I'm a sinner
I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered

He wears his heart
Safety pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers
Whose glances can cripple
The heart and devour the soul

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life he crawls
Like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird

You just can walk in the field

Out of his mind away
Pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind
Mid-day delusions of pushing this out of his head
Maybe out of his mind
Out of his mind

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

All alone
Crawls like a worm from a bird
All alone
Crawls like a worm from a bird
All alone
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

All he knows
If he can't relieve it it grows
And so it goes
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

He crawls like a worm
He crawls like a worm
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm

Out of his mind away
Pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind
Out of his mind

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird

All alone he's holding his breath half to death
Terrified to save his life
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

(all alone)
Crawls like a worm from a bird
(all alone)
Crawls like a worm from a bird
(all alone)
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

(all alone)
(all alone)
(all alone)
(all alone)

[Intro: Alex Varkatzas]
Hold your breath quiet now don't say a word
You could run (but) it won't do any good
Prayers forsaken when you lose faith inside
It's not time to die

[Verse 1: Alex Varkatzas]
Your life
Is it a lie?
When you get what you're looking for
Your cravings subside
Or will you crawl into
An open casket or your early tomb?
Lay down and give up inside
She'd rather die

[Verse 2: Alex Varkatzas]
When you fall
So spent from emotion
She is what
Brings you to your feet
Where challenges lie
On the verge of destruction
She pulls you back
And she gives you wings


[Pre-Chorus: Marc McKnight]
Death won't hold you as tight as she will

[Chorus: Brandon Saller, Alex Varkatzas, Marc McKnight]
Can you feel her burning through your veins?
She will always live forever
(Can you bear the burn?)
Can you feel her burning through your veins?
She will always live forever
(Can you bear the burn?)

[Verse 3: Alex Varkatzas, Marc McKnight, both]
You'll turn your back, you'll patronize
She's bleeding
You will question your every want
She's bleeding out
She's bleeding out
She's bleeding out

[Pre-Chorus: Marc McKnight]
Death won't hold you as tight as she will

[Chorus: Brandon Saller, Alex Varkatzas]
Can you feel her burning through your veins?
She will always live forever
(Can you bear the burn?)
Can you feel her burning through your veins?
She will always live forever
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Alex Varkatzas]
She's bleeding out
She's bleeding out
She's bleeding out
Hhh, hhh
Hhh, hhh
Hhh, hhh...

[Pre-Chorus: Marc McKnight]
Death won't hold you as tight as she will

[Chorus: Brandon Saller, Alex Varkatzas]
Can you feel her burning through your veins?
She will always live forever
(Can you bear the burn?)
Can you feel her burning through your veins?
She will always live forever
(Can you bear the burn?)

[Outro]
Can you feel her burning through your veins?
She will always live forever

[Verse 1: Alex Varkatzas]
You took me home
I drank too much
'Cause of you my liver turned to dust
Cold rust taste
A cruel creeping cold pain
Do you understand what I mean?
When you feel your soul drop to the floor
Like a hole

Like an open bleeding sore
Then you'll have bled like I bled
And you'll have wept as I've wept

[Chorus: Brandon Saller]
Suck me down, it's time to rock and roll
Let's hit the bar, let's lose control
One false move, you took me home
One false move, you're all alone

[Verse 2: Alex Varkatzas]
But it looks so good and it feels so nice
I paid the price
I'll cut you out just to hear you scream
Get away from, get away from me
And I can feel my heartbeat racing
As I realize what I must do
Get away from
Get away from
Get away from you


[Bridge: Brandon Saller & Alex Varkatzas]
I should have turned and ran like hell
Last time I got the taste of you
I should have turned and ran like hell
And I'll see we're through
I should have turned and ran like hell
Last time I got the taste of you
I should have turned and ran like hell
And I'll see we're through
And I'll see we're through

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude: Brandon Saller with Alex Varkatzas]
You fell upon me like a plague
Weakness, sweet weakness
But I digress after all this
You're just like all the rest

[Chorus: Brandon Saller]
Suck me down, it's time to rock and roll
Let's hit the bar, let's lose control
One false move, you took me home
One false move, you're all alone

[Intro]
Angel of darkness
Angel of darkness
The world is in your hand
But I will fight until the end
Angel of darkness
Angel of darkness
Don't follow your command
But I will fight and I will stand

[Interlude]
When darkness falls
Pain is all
The angel of darkness
Will leave behind
But I will fight

[Verse 1]
The love is lost
Beauty and light
Have vanished from garden of delight
The dreams are gone
Midnight has come
The darkness is our new kingdom
Yeah, yeah


[Chorus]
Angel of darkness
Angel of darkness
The world is in your hand
But I will fight until the end
Angel of darkness
Angel of darkness
Don't follow your command
But I will fight and I will stand

[Instrumental Break]

[Post-Chorus]
Hunt goes on
Deep in the night
Time to pray
Down on your knees
You can't hide from the
Eternal light
Until my last
Breath I will fight
I will fight
I will fight
I will fight
I will fight
[Verse 2]
Now realize, the stars they die
Darkness has fallen in paradise
But we'll be strong, and we will fight
Against the creatures of the night

[Chorus]
Angel of darkness
Angel of darkness
The world is in your hand
But I will fight until the end
Angel of darkness
Angel of darkness
Don't follow your command
But I will fight and I will stand

[Outro]
Yeah-yeah

[Intro]
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) I'm an angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) Angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun

[Verse 1]
Get out your guns, battle's begun
Are you a saint or a sinner?
If love's a fight, then I shall die
With my heart on a trigger

[Pre-Chorus]
They say before you start a war
You better know what you're fighting for
Well, baby, you are all that I adore
If love is what you need, a soldier I will be

[Chorus]
I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting 'til the war's won
I don't care if Heaven won't take me back
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe
Don't you know you're everything I have?
And I wanna live, not just survive tonight

[Verse 2]
Sometimes to win, you've got to sin
Don't mean I'm not a believer
And Major Tom will sing along
Yeah, they still say I'm a dreamer


[Pre-Chorus]
They say before you start a war
You better know what you're fighting for
Well, baby, you are all that I adore
If love is what you need, a soldier I will be

[Chorus]
I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting 'til the war's won
I don't care if Heaven won't take me back
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe
Don't you know you're everything I have?
And I wanna live, not just survive tonight

[Bridge]
Oh, oh-woah, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
Oh (Oh yeah), oh-woah (Oh yeah) woah-oh (Oh yeah,) woah-oh-oh (Oh yeah)
Oh (Oh yeah), oh-woah (I'm an angel with a shotgun, shotgun, yeah) (Oh yeah) woah-oh (Oh yeah), woah-oh-oh (Oh yeah)
Oh (Oh yeah), oh-woah (I'm an angel with a shotgun, shotgun) (Oh yeah), woah-oh (Oh yeah), woah-oh-oh (Oh yeah)

[Chorus]
I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting 'til the war's won
I don't care if Heaven won't take me back
I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting 'til the war's won
I don't care if Heaven won't take me back
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe
Don't you know you're everything I have? (I'm an angel with a shotgun)

And I want to live, not just survive (Live, not just survive)
And I'm gonna hide, hide, hide my wings tonight

[Outro]
They say before you start a war
You better know what you're fighting for
Well, baby, you are all that I adore
If love is what you need, a soldier I will be

[Sonny:]
I can still see the light at the end of the tunnel shine
Through the dark times, even when I lose my mind
But it feels like no one in the world is listening
And I can't ever seem to make the right decisions

I walk around in the same haze
I'm still caught in my same ways
I'm losing time in these strange days
But somehow, I always know the right things to say

I don't know what time it is
Or who's the one to blame for this
Do I believe what I can't see?
And how do you know which way the wind blows?
'Cause I can feel it all around
I'm lost between the sound
And just when I think I know, there she goes

Goodbye for now
Goodbye for now, so long
Goodbye for now (I'm not the type to say I told you so)
Goodbye for now, so long
(I think the hardest part of holding on is lettin' go)

When will we sing
A new song
A new song

We're still smilin' as the day goes by
And how come nobody ever knows the reasons why?

Bury you deep so far that you can't see
If you're like me, who wears a broken heart on your sleeve
Pains is troubles that you know so well
Either time don't it can't or you just won't tell
I'm not the type to say I told you so
I think the hardest part of holding on is lettin' it go

I don't know what time it is
Or who's the one to blame for this
Do I believe what I can't see?
And how do you know which way the wind blows?
'Cause I can feel it all around
I'm lost between the sound
And just when I think I know, there she goes

Goodbye for now
Goodbye for now, so long
Goodbye for now (I'm not the type to say I told you so)
Goodbye for now, so long
(I think the hardest part of holding on is lettin' go)

When will we sing
A new song
A new song
When will we sing
A new song
A new song

And you can sing until there's no song left (Song left)
And I can scream until the world goes deaf (Goes deaf)

For every other word left unsaid
You shoulda took the time to read the sign and see what it meant
(See what it meant)
In some ways, everybody feels alone
So if the burden is mine, then I can carry my own (Carry my own)
If joy really comes in the morning time
Then I'ma sit back and wait until the next sun rise

[Sonny {Katy Perry}:]
Goodbye for now
Goodbye for now, so long
Goodbye for now (I'm not the type to say I told you so)
Goodbye for now, so long
(I think the hardest part of holding on is letting it go)
When will we sing
A new song
A new song
When will we sing
A new song
A new song
When will we sing? {When will we sing?}
A new song
A new song

[Katy Perry:]
Oh, whoa
Oh, oh, whoa
Oh, oh, whoa
Oh, oh, whoa

Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would've known 'cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye
I didn't tell her that I loved her, how much I cared
Or thank my pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared
Unaware, I just did what I always do
Every day, the same routine before I skate off to school
But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest?
Instead of takin' a test, I took two to the chest

Call me blind, but I didn't see it comin'
Everybody was runnin', but I couldn't hear nothin' except
Gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid, though I sit by him in class

Maybe this kid was reachin' out for love
Or maybe for a moment, he forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was, I know it's because

We are, we are (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are) youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are) youth of the nation

Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the world with every chance to excel
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud, but no respect for herself

She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations, just different faces
Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her she deserved much better
Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules so you would think he was cool
He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried, often thought of suicide
It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end, they might remember him then

You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat

We are, we are (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are) youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are) youth of the nation

Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim?
No matter what you say, it don't take away the pain
That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why, it's the blind leadin' the blind
Guess that's the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense? Somebody's gotta know
There's gotta be more to life than this
There's gotta be more to everything I thought exists

We are, we are, the youth of the nation
We are, we are, youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are, we are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are, we are) youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are, we are) the youth of the nation (The youth of the nation)
We are, we are (We are, we are) youth of the nation (The youth of the nation)
We are, we are (We are, we are) the youth of the nation (The youth of the nation)
We are, we are (We are, we are) youth of the nation (The youth of the nation)
(We are) Youth of the nation
(We are) Youth of the nation
(We are) Youth of the nation
(We are)

I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I thought it'd be easy
But no one believes me
I meant all the things I said

If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own

This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy
That nothing can save me
But it's the only thing that I have

If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own

On my own

I tried to be perfect
It just wasn't worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It's hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along

If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me into heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me into heaven

'Cause you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
'Cause I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, yeah, yeah, stay, whoa

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray, gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me into heaven

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me into heaven

So watch my chest heave
As this last breath leaves me
I am trying to be
What you're dying to see

I feel like "Fuck man
Can't take this anymore
This heart breaks"
This is life that's so thankless
How could he just forsake us?

Breaks us he makes us
Hate us he gave us
Nothing but no trust
And I am so fucked up
So let this gun bond us
Let's hide by this lust
And once we are just dust
He'll know that he loved us

Let it all burn
I will burn first
God I've tried, am I lost in your eyes?

Just let me burn
It's what I deserve
God I've lied, am I lost in your eyes?

So take me and make me
Weaken and save me
This hate that you gave me
Keeps saying the same thing

To sing when you hurt and
To sing when you cry
To sing when you live and
To sing when you die

And here at the end
At the end of the hurt
All the pain ain't the same
When it's your turn to burn
We're the hearts for the heartless
The thoughts for the thoughtless
The lies for the honest
We're the gods of the godless

Let it all burn
I will burn first
God I've tried, am I lost in your eyes?

Just let me burn
It's what I deserve
God I've lied, am I lost in your eyes?

So cry three tears for me
When it's all gone
Sing me this song

So cry three tears for me
When it's all gone
When it's all gone

I can not stand
Who I am. I'm this man
With this blood on my hands
In this blood I am damned
So watch my wings burn
As they burn in the fire
Don't scatter the ashes
No need for the choir

Let it all burn
I will burn first
God I've tried, am I lost in your eyes?

Just let me burn
It's what I deserve
God I've lied, am I lost in your eyes?

This hate that you gave me keeps saying
Just let me burn
Just let me burn

This hate that you gave me keeps saying
Just let me burn
Just let me burn

Burn
Now
Burn

Just let me burn
Now
Burn

Burn!

[Deuce:]
'Cause I don't wanna be like this
I've been running these streets for too long now
I've got nothing it's true but this song now
But the further I go I wanna go home

'Cause I don't wanna be like this
I've been running these streets for too long now
I've got nothing it's true but this song now
But the further I go I wanna go home

[J3T:]
I fuckin' swear that I care
But it's hard when you stare
Into the bottom of a bottle
That is empty and bare

Oh my desolate soul
In my desolate home
It's my desolate role
Yeah I'm here all alone

I can't think of a reason
To get the fuck out of bed
Curtains closed, lights are off
Am I alive or dead?

I haven't shaved in a week
I always slur when I speak
Tolerance at its peak
Another fifth just to sleep

Oh woe is me woe is me
I guess I need love
Hoes you see hoes you see
I'm just in a rut

And I swear I'm trying baby please
Baby don't leave
Goddamn I'm a fuck-up
But I guess that's just me

So I sit in my room
And I'll cry in my bed
Thinking about all the shit
That made me wrong in my head

I keep trying to climb
But it seems so steep
Pour myself a fuckin' whiskey
And go back to sleep, bitch

[Deuce:]
'Cause I don't wanna be like this
I've been running these streets for too long now
I've got nothing it's true but this song now
But the further I go I wanna go home

'Cause I don't wanna be like this
I've been running these streets for too long now
I've got nothing it's true but this song now
But the further I go I wanna go home

I watch my momma cry
She says, "Baby, why?"
I say, "Baby died
Baby's gone like a suicide."
I don't think you'll see him soon, mom
Stay out my room, mom
Tell daddy that I hate
That motherfucker like you, mom

I sing this shit for you
Danny, Sasha and Jordan
These beers keep getting warmer
Every time that I hold 'em
I pour this out for you
Like a partner in crime
It's part of the times
When you're sick in the mind

Yeah I'm sick, oh so sick
I'm so sick of this shit
Yeah I'm lit, oh so lit
I'm so fucked up off it
So I stumble around
'Til I stumble-fall down
To this puddle of my tears
Laying here on the ground

When you've got nothing left
You've got nothing left to lose
With my last this single breath
I'll still be singing to you
So when you bury me, man
You better bury me deep
And sing along to this song
'Cause you're broken like me

[Deuce:]
'Cause I don't wanna be like this
I've been running these streets for too long now
I've got nothing it's true but this song now
But the further I go I wanna go home

'Cause I don't wanna be like this
I've been running these streets for too long now
I've got nothing it's true but this song now
But the further I go I wanna go home

And I wanna go back to the start
Back where we started from
And I know it's been so long
I was wrong, I was wrong
I was wrong all along

And I wanna go back to the start
Back where we started from
And I know it's been so long
I was wrong, I was wrong
I was wrong all along

'Cause I don't wanna be like this
I've been running these streets for too long now
I've got nothing it's true but this song now
But the further I go I wanna go home

'Cause I don't wanna be like this
I've been running these streets for too long now
I've got nothing it's true but this song now
But the further I go I wanna go home

In a time of need only few can see what's wrong
Millions tend to crawl but only those who choose can make it through this all,

Only few can sing like lions 'cause we sing until we're gone
And we've got each others backs until we're back where we belong,
A woman held my shield and through the battle we did wrong,

A man who taught me wisdom through the static we recall,
And maybe when we' re gone our names will echo through the stars,
Every start's got it's ending even when we've learned to rise above it all,

[Chorus:]
These lies are leading me astray its too much for me to stay
I don't wanna live this destiny it goes on endlessly

I see you so please stay strong
I'll sing you one last song and then I'm gone
I don't wanna live this destiny it goes on endlessly

And we once also had a story too
You can see that good men only come in few.
Even in our greatest moments we may win or we may lose
Every song's got its rules, you've got to learn to make it through.

Maybe one day we can choose how it feels to be a woman or a man
Without rules but buried underneath there's a picture glued.
So when my body burns in ashes only sing the truth
Let these words strengthen all your views
Because these words were meant for you

[Chorus]

An' now I'm floatin' right above my coffin as it closes I look down
I see sigh as she's crying on my mamma's shoulder.
I look up into the sky as the gates to heaven open something's wrong
Is this destiny or am I goin' home,
What will happen to my soul will I come back I don't know,
Will you meet me when its over let me know,
You can meet me here in heaven don't you ever let me go

This love this hate is burning me away

[Chorus]

This love, this hate is burning me away

In the brightest hour of my darkest day
I realized what is wrong with me
Can't get over you, can't get through to you
It's been a helter-skelter romance from the start
Take these memories that are haunting me
Of a paper man cut into shreds by his own pair of scissors

He'll never forgive her... He'll never forgive her

Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever

Sitting by a fire on a lonely night
Hanging over from another good time
With another girl... little dirty girl
You should listen to this story of a life
You're my heroine
In this moment I'm lonely fulfilling my darkest dreams
All these drugs all these women
I'm never forgiven... this broken heart of mine

Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever

One last kiss
Before I go
Dry your tears
It is time to let you go

One last kiss (one last kiss)
Before I go (before I go)
Dry your tears (dry your tears)
It is time to let you go

Because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever

One last kiss (one last kiss)
Before I go (before I go)
Dry your tears (dry your tears)
It is time to let you go

One last kiss
Before I go
Dry your tears
It is time to let you go
One last kiss

[Verse 1]
Don't give up
It takes a while
I have seen this look before
And it's all right
You're not alone
If you don't love this anymore

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I hear that you slipped again
I'm here 'cause I know you'll need a friend

[Chorus]
You know that accidents can happen
And it's okay
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away

[Verse 2]
Take some time
Learn to breathe
And remember what it means
To feel alive, to believe
There's something more
Than what you see

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I know there's a price for this
But some things in life you must resist

[Chorus]
You know that accidents can happen
And it's okay
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I hear that you slipped again
I'm here 'cause I know you'll need a friend

[Chorus]
And you know that accidents can happen
And it's okay
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away
[Chorus]
You know that accidents can happen
And it's okay
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away

[Outro]
Don't give up
It takes a while

I see nothing in your eyes,
And the more I see the less I like.

Is it over yet, in my head?

I know nothing of your kind,
And I won't reveal your evil mind.

Is it over yet? I can't win.

So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left.
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes.
I'm going all the way, get away, please.

You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'Cause I will be the death of you.

This will be all over soon.
Pour the salt into the open wound.

Is it over yet? Let me in.

So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left.
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes.
I'm going all the way, get away, please.

You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'Cause I will be the death of you.

I'm waiting, I'm praying, realize, start hating.

You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'Cause I will be the death of you.

[Intro]
Let's go

[Verse 1]
With bloodshot eyes, I watch you sleepin'
The warmth I feel beside me is slowly fadin'

[Refrain]
Would she hear me if I called her name?
Would she hold me if she knew my shame?

[Pre-Chorus]
There's always something different goin' wrong
The path I walk's in the wrong direction
There's always someone fuckin' hangin' on
Can anybody help me make things better?

[Chorus]
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home

[Verse 2]
The moments died, I hear no screamin'
The visions left inside me are slowly fadin'

[Refrain]
Would she hear me if I called her name?
Would she hold me if she knew my shame?

[Pre-Chorus]
There's always something different goin' wrong
The path I walk's in the wrong direction
There's always someone fuckin' hangin' on
Can anybody help me make things better?

[Chorus]
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home

[Interlude]
Oh
Yeah

[Bridge]
This battered room I've seen before
The broken bones they heal no more, no more
With my last breath, I'm chokin'
Will this ever end? I'm hopin'
My world is over, one more time
Let's go
[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
Would she hear me if I called her name?
Would she hold me if she knew my shame?

[Pre-Chorus]
There's always something different goin' wrong
The path I walk's in the wrong direction
There's always someone fuckin' hangin' on
Can anybody help me make things better?

[Chorus]
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home (Tears don't fall)
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me (Conscience calls)
Her conscience calls the guilty to come— (Better)
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me (Conscience calls)
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home

[Chorus]
Don't cry to me, if you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me, come find me
Make up your mind

[Verse 1]
Should I let you fall? Lose it all?
So maybe you can remember yourself
Can't keep believing, we're only deceiving
Ourselves, and I'm sick of the lie

[Pre-Chorus]
And you're too late

[Chorus]
Don't cry to me, if you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me, come find me
Make up your mind

[Verse 2]
Couldn't take the blame, sick with shame
Must be exhausting to lose your own game
Selfishly hated, no wonder you're jaded
You can't play the victim this time

[Pre-Chorus]
And you're too late

[Chorus]
So don't cry to me, if you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me, come find me
Make up your mind

[Post-Chorus]
You never call me when you're sober
You only want it 'cause it's over
Ah, it's over

[Bridge]
How could I
Have burned paradise?
How could I
You were never mine!

[Chorus]
So don't cry to me, if you loved me
You would be here with me
Don't lie to me, just get your things
I've made up your mind

I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You've gone away, you don't feel me here anymore

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You've gone away
You don't feel me here anymore

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose undefined
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
And where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
To hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no

Once again


There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
And all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories
will have to help me through, oh yeah


Dear God the only thing I ask of you
is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no

Once again


Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay

I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
When hope begins to fade

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose undefined
Dear God the only thing I ask of you
is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away

We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed


'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
Should be banned
It's a day that I can't stand

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
Shouldn't exist
It's a day that I'll never miss
Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life

And if you go, I wanna go with you
And if you die, I wanna die with you

Take your hand and walk away

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
Life

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
It's a day that I'm glad I survived

Why don't you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square?
Was fashion the reason why they were there?

They disguise it, hypnotize it
Television made you buy it

I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my

She's scared that I will take her away from there
Dreams that her country left with no one there
Mesmerized the simple-minded
Propaganda leaves us blinded

I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl
I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl

I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl
I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl

Sweet berries ready for two, ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you, are you?
Sweet berries ready for two, ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you, are you dreaming?

Dreaming the night
Dreaming alright

Do we, do we know
When we fly?
When we, when we go
Do we die?

Sweet berries ready for two, ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you, are you?
Sweet berries ready for two, ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you, are you dreaming?

Dreaming the night
Dreaming alright

Do we, do we know
When we fly?
When we, when we go
Do we die?
Yeah (It'll be alright)

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Do we, do we know
When we fly?
When we, when we go
Do we die?
Yeah

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

I was blown away
What could I say?
It all seemed to make sense
You've taken away everything
And I can't deal with that
I try to see the good in life
But good things in life are hard to find
We'll blow it away, blow it away

Can we make this something good?
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around

Let's start over
Try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over

I've taken all I could take
And I cannot wait
We're wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on
Can't let it bring us down
My life with you means everything
So I won't give up that easily
I'll blow it away, blow it away

Can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around

Let's start over
Try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over

We can't let this get away
Let it out, let it out
Don't get caught up in yourself
Let it out

Let's start over
Try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over

Let's start over
It's not over, yeah
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over

[Verse 1]
My eyes are open wide
By the way, I made it through the day
I watched the world outside
By the way, I'm leaving out today

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I just saw Halley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why you always runnin' in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere

[Chorus]
Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize, this is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes "goodbye" is a second chance

[Verse 2]
Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I just saw Halley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why you always runnin' in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere

[Chorus]
Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize, this is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes "goodbye" is a second chance

[Bridge]
Here's my chance
This is my chance

[Chorus]
Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize, this is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes "goodbye" is a second chance
Sometimes "goodbye" is a second chance
Sometimes "goodbye" is a second chance

A note by the door
Simply explains
It's all that remains
It's no wonder why
I have not slept in days
The dust on the floor
Piled up from the years
All those scars and souvenirs
Now that you're gone
It's easy to see
But so hard to believe

By the way
You left without saying
Goodbye to me
Now that you're gone away
All I can think about is
You and me
You and me

It's not like before
You left nothing here
It's all disappeared
It hurts me to see
That we've been a lie
Would it have hurt you to try?

By the way
You left without saying
Goodbye to me
Now that you're gone away

All I can think about is
You and me
You and me

It's sad to say that
This pain is killing me inside
But it's time to say
That this pain is keeping me alive
Twisting and turning
It rips through my heart
It's been tearing me apart

By the way
You left without saying
Goodbye to me
Now that you're gone away
All I can think about is
You and me
You and me

All i think about now
Is you and me
You and me
All i think about now
Is you and me
You and me

By the way
By the way
By the way

I never thought I'd feel this
Guilty and I'm broken down inside
Living with myself, nothing but lies
I always thought I'd make it
But never knew I'd let it get so bad
Living with myself is all I have

I feel numb
I can't come to life
I feel like I'm frozen in time

Living in a world so cold
Wasting away
Living in a shell with no soul
Since you've gone away
Living in a world so cold
Counting the days
Since you've gone away
You've gone away

Do you ever feel me?
Do you ever look deep down inside
Staring at yourself, paralyzed

I feel numb
I can't come to life
I feel like I'm frozen in time

Living in a world so cold
Wasting away
Living in a shell with no soul
Since you've gone away
Living in a world so cold
Counting the days
Since you've gone away
You've gone away from me

I'm too young (I'm too young)
To lose my soul
I'm too young (I'm too young)
To feel this old
So long (So long)
I'm left behind
I feel like I'm losing my mind

Do you ever feel me?
Do you ever look deep down inside
Staring at your life, paralyzed

Living in a world so cold
Wasting away
Living in a shell with no soul
Since you've gone away
Living in a world so cold
Counting the days
Since you've gone away
You've gone away from me

I'm too young (I'm too young)
I'm too young (I'm too young)

Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

I will be the one that's gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is a burning
Consuming fire

No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes, I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes, you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark

Whispers in the dark

You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay here broken and naked
My love is just waiting
To clothe you in crimson roses

I will be the one that's gonna find you
I will be the one that's gonna guide you
My love is a burning
Consuming fire

No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes, I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes, you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark

No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes, I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes, you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark

Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark

[Verse 1]
Wanna love ya, wanna bug ya
Wanna squeeze ya, stupid girl
Wanna touch ya, wanna take ya
Wanna shut ya, stupid girl

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't take this, born to break this

[Chorus]
She's going away (She's going away)
What's wrong with my life today?
She's going away (She's going away)
What's wrong with my life today?

[Post-Chorus]
Stupid girl
Stupid girl

[Verse 2]
I'm a loner, I'm a loser
I'm a winner in my mind
I'm a bad one, I'm a good one
I'm a sick one with a smile

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't take this, born to break this

[Chorus]
She's going away (She's going away)
What's wrong with my life today?
She's going away (she's going away)
What's wrong with my life today?
She's going away (She's going away)
What's wrong with my life today?

[Post-Chorus]
Stupid girl
Stupid girl
Stupid girl
Stupid girl

[Bridge]
Whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa-whoa

[Chorus]
She's going away (She's going away)
What's wrong with my life today?
She's going away (She's going away)
What's wrong with my life today? (What's wrong with my life today?)
She's going away (She's going away)
What's wrong with my life today?

[Post-Chorus]
Stupid girl
Stupid girl
Stupid girl
Stupid girl

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

[Chester Bennington:]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

And every second I waste is more than I can take

[Chester Bennington:]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you


And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

Not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Not gonna get us

Starting from here, let's make a promise
You and me, let's just be honest
We're gonna run, nothing can stop us
Even the night, that falls all around us

Soon there will be laughter and voices
Beyond the clouds, over the mountains
We'll run away, on roads that are empty
Lights from the airfield, shining upon you

Nothing can stop this
Not now I love you
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Nothing can stop this
Not now I love you

They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us

Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us, gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us, gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Get us
Not gonna get us

We'll run away, keep everything simple
Night will come down, our guardian angel
We rush ahead, the crossroads are empty
Our spirits rise, they're not gonna get us

My love for you, always forever
Just you and me, all else is nothing
Not going back, not going back there
They don't understand, they don't understand us

Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us

They're not gonna get us

Not gonna get us
Nothing can stop this
Not now I love you


They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Nothing can stop this
Not now I love you


They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Not gonna get us

They're not gonna get us

Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
