I’ve been thinking lots about my life and
How quick I’d wash it down the drain
Past tense the future, nothing matters now
I act on my own and I’m to blame
Living’s a wicked dream, where things turn out all wrong
We’re all so weak, no matter how strong, yeah
I tried running away from me
Convince me that I’ve grown, [...]
Let me tell ya ’bout a girl I know
That comes alive when you take off her clothes
There’s no tellin’ just where she’s been
Ask around but no one seems to know, yeah
Late at night when your looking to sin
Call her up and she’ll lay down the law
You can’t trust her ’cause she’ll lie to your face
But [...]
I’ve been traveling for so long
so lost till I stumbled upon
two roads in front of me, I had to take my time
to the right I could see a church
I took a step in that direction first
but to the left there was a watering hole
where they were whiskey drunk
and now that’s where I wanna be
The fire [...]
As a young boy chasing Dragons
with your wooden sword so mighty,
You’re St. George or you’re David and you always
killed the beast
Times change very quickly
And you had to grow up early
A house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet
You’ll die as you lived
In a flash of the blade
In corner forgotten away
You lived for the [...]
Weekends on young and angry streets
We meet, drink ’till trouble found us there
Living life as without a care
We’ve had our fights, been black and blue
Its true, I’ve even gone to jail for you my friends
Bet your life that I’d do it again
(Until the End)
Don’t change the way you think of me
We’re from the same story
Life [...]
I wake up every morning, bright and early
Roll out of bed but I’m never quite alone
Tension is pulling me in all directions
And all of these problems use me as their own
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
At any time I could explode
I need some piece of mind, it’s got me tired
Don’t wanna lose it, [...]
Can’t you see I’m easily bothered by persistence
One step from lashing out at you…
You want in to get under my skin
And call yourself a friend
I’ve got more friends like you
What do I do?
[Pre:]
Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I’ve been belong
You can’t be something you’re not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away [...]
The problem with society’s been how do we teach
And if they’ll believe.
We’ll fight this battle for years to come
’til we all accept that we can stand on our own.
Grandfather used his hands, he worked them to the bone.
Provide his family with a happy home, alone.
Don’t take your aggression out on me.
My own man is all [...]
Dead men, they celebrate
as the final chapter fades away
Cuz they can’t hide;
We can see their flesh is rotten!
The band plays a hopeful tune
The champagne is poured as they socialize
The look in their eyes
Hide in the light
Everything is paid for tonight
while at the party of the dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free so [...]
I feel insane
Every single time I’m asked to compromise
‘Cause I’m afraid and stuck in my ways
And that’s the way it stays
So how long did I expect love to outweigh ignorance?
By the look on your face I may have forced the scale to tip
I’m not insane, I’m not insane
I’m not insane, I’m not… not insane
(Mother)
Come back [...]
