take this book of lies and burn it down break your bank of rules scrape your knees and bleed the fire out flame to fight the fuel hold your head up high to face the past stare it in the teeth question everything you never ask the earth shall drink the meek is there lighting in your veins is there something that remains nothings ever gonna change so take yourself out in the rain life is leadin while you wait waitin for your judgement day hypocrites and fools to line your tower proof you might belong justified and cruel the velvet hour drowns out all your wrong is there lighting in your veins is there something that remains nothings ever gonna change so take yourself out in the rain life is leadin while you wait waitin for your judgement day you woke up dead you filled your head with all this shit to crowd the pain your promised land slips thru your hands the soul you sacrificed to save is there lighting in your veins is there something that remains nothings ever gonna change so take yourself out in the rain life is leadin while you wait waitin for your judgement day

Do It 03:43
doesn’t really matter why are you gonna be up all night again its not up to you to figure out what’s going on inside someone else's head if you want something done what are you waiting for if you don’t have enough gotta get something more if you wanna be loved better start with yourself if you want something done then do it do it is this the life you wanna have are you really waiting for the phone to ring just take a hint get over it you’re all alone have you never learned a thing if you want something done what are you waiting for if you don’t have enough gotta get something more if you wanna be loved better start with yourself if you want something done then do it do it it’s a short time you're here and a long time you're gone its the life of your time and it keeps moving on if you have something left you been meaning to say if you want something done then do it do it no one’s here to tell you how to live your life and you'll never find yourself in someone else’s eyes if you want something done what are you waiting for if you don’t have enough gotta get something more if you wanna be loved better start with yourself if you want something done then do it do it

This is the part where i walk away Fade to darkness start this back off where u found me This is the day i say i'm busy when i'm not And watch u try to bring me back before i'm really gone This is where i start letting you go thÍs is where it all comes down This is when i first begin getting over u this is where it all comes down 
 This is where u start to scare me 
 Weaving me between your threads of fables gold and blue
  dark as plunder smooth like heroin
 i fly away on what you see in all ive never been
 This is where i start letting you go thÍs is where it all comes down This is when i first begin getting over u this is where it all comes down 
 and you could wrap me up In boystained sheets and midday morn until the sun goes out
 tie me down til all these days gone by give up the ghost
 and fill me til i drown i’m falling i’m falling theres no way out i’ll break you i’ll break you now This is where i start letting you go This is where it all comes down- This is where i start letting you go thÍs is where it all comes down This is when i first begin getting over u this is where it all comes down

damn my intuition here it goes wish i didn’t know the things i know youre backing off from me i saw it happening the moment she came back to you you never said so didn’t have to that sinking feeling always knew and i don’t understand you’re trying to hide it but you can’t no need to tell me that its true looks like it’s time to walk away looks like my moment here is done your heart is broken in too many pieces and i’m not fighting for crumbs did you really think i wouldn’t notice it hurts the most that you don’t know this i hear what you don’t say i see it on your face leaving out the truth is still a lie looks like it’s time to walk away looks like my moment here is done your heart is broken in too many pieces and i’m not fighting for crumbs you want me here in case she breaks your heart again you keep your second place i only came to win looks like it’s time to walk away looks like my moment here is done your heart is broken in too many pieces and i’m not fighting for crumbs

rushin through the world in your unmade bed with your head on fire and your heart undressed you can always tell when youre in my dreams nothing but the clothes that you left remain in a paper bag with a faded stain you can always tell when i wipe you clean aint no surprise you’d call me up today aint no surprise i’m still the same is this what you meant, is this what you said that some day i might miss you when youre gone is this what you saw, is this what you want just to hear me say that i was wrong isn’t this right where i belong here on the floor imploring you to change your mind is this what you meant, is this what you meant still no less the mess you left behind Don't u think I know I'm a joke these days with a broken track and a laugh I've saved From the time I almost gave a damn Guess i built u up til u tumbled down And u tried so hard just to stay around U tried to love me the way I am i never heard a word u had to say so mad i couldn't have my way is this what you meant, is this what you said that some day i might miss you when youre gone is this what you saw, is this what you want just to hear me say that i was wrong isn’t this right where i belong here on the floor imploring you to change your mind is this what you meant, is this what you meant still no less the mess you left behind still no less alone without your hand in mine waiting by the phone after all this time wishing i had one more chance to never let you go wishing you’d come say i told you so is this what you meant, is this what you said that some day i might miss you when youre gone is this what you saw, is this what you want just to hear me say that i was wrong isn’t this right where i belong here on the floor imploring you to change your mind is this what you meant, is this what you meant still no less the mess you left behind

Anyway 04:05
i’m bruised again i wear it well the self inflicted tale they tell i singed my hair i broke my nails you’d love me then if all else failed the night was long and dark and just another dagger to my trust i thrust it in until i bleed i wiped my point for you to see and anyway it’s over now nothing left to say i don’t know why i don’t care how it’s over anyway its broken in pieces you got the space you needed too late to try just say goodbye its over anyway i fell so far i felt so small i shrank to not exist at all i beat me up till i was sure you gave me just what i deserved i woke up every day afraid my so called faith went up in flames still i believed in all your lies for the life of me i don’t know why they got you wrong youre not that strong i don’t belong here and anyway it’s over now nothing left to say i don’t know why i don’t care how it’s over anyway its broken in pieces you got the space you needed too late to try just say goodbye its over anyway you'll say i’m self destructive i constructed all this tragedy go tell them all it’s all my fault you’ll tell them i was crazy and anyway it’s over now nothing left to say and anyway it’s over now nothing left to say i don’t know why i don’t care how it’s over anyway its broken in pieces you got the space you needed too late to try just say goodbye its over anyway

Fairy tales are made for children no one cares if london's burnin Down around you rainin pots of gold 
even rainbows end and move along The knight in shining armor strong Goes weak and drops you in the road 
And here you come again    To reach beneath my pillow 
well save your penny I already know: There is no someday There is no once upon a time There is no one day 
There is no when the stars align No wait and see no maybe we 
can try another way Our happy end will never come There is no someday
 Make believe is fine and well when
 all you need are lies you tell yourself 
  to make it easier to breathe

 Windows don't go flyin open 
Every time a doors been closed and
  toads arent really princes at your feet princes
 Wishes don't come true
  Shooting stars don't give a damn
  they're just like you they're never gonna change

 There is no someday There is no once upon a time There is no one day 
There is no when the stars align No wait and see no maybe we 
can try another way Our happy end will never come There is no someday
 The storm will sleep far out at sea the mermaids will be swimming in the sky You'll hold me close and set me free 
when horses grow a silver horn and fly There is no someday There is no once upon a time There is no one day 
There is no when the stars align No wait and see no maybe we 
can try another way Our happy end will never come There is no someday

your life is like a movie your heart’s a thing of beauty you spread your beats all over town i don’t know how you do it you make em all so stupid they love you when you're not around i've been seeing something thru the cracks will i catch you looking back when the crowd around you starts to make you lonely when the traffic at your door is growing old when you need a place to lay down your story when the only thing you wanna be is home when you wanna wake up knowing who you're holding the day the freedom stops feeling free when you're ready to give all of you to someone i hope its me, i hope its me i’ll never let you see this i’ll keep your dirty secrets i’ll help you sweep the mess you make but i can barely breathe sometimes i wonder if you see the kind of everything i wanna say and yeah you're chasing what you feel right now but someday you may turn around when the crowd around you starts to make you lonely when the traffic at your door is growing old when you need a place to lay down your story when the only thing you wanna be is home when you wanna wake up knowing who you're holding the day the freedom stops feeling free when you're ready to give all of you to someone i hope its me, i hope its me you could make me something no one else has done someone just like you has never come when the crowd around you starts to make you lonely when the traffic at your door is growing old when you need a place to lay down your story when the only thing you wanna be is home when you wanna wake up knowing who you're holding the day the freedom stops feeling free when you're ready to give all of you to someone i hope its me, i hope its me i hope it's me

i always think of you at the wrong times she’s close enough to kiss i thought i wanted this but when i think of you i change my mind tonight i laughed so hard it ached put a silly movie on then we talked until the dawn but you’re the reason why i’m still awake (yeah yeah yeah) i wanna be holding you right now i wanna fall asleep in your arms wanna feel your breath in my hair i wanna be wherever you are tonight i stayed out late and i drank a few she called at half past three and i smiled in my sleep but i still wished it were you tonight we watched the moon til the sun came out i took his hand in mine and i went all warm inside but then i thought of you and it all fell down (down down down) i wanna be holding you right now i wanna fall asleep in your arms wanna feel your breath in my hair i wanna be wherever you are you said i mess with your mind i chose to hear a compliment you were only real when you looked in my eyes i saw everything you meant i wanna be holding you right now i wanna fall asleep in your arms wanna feel your breath in my hair i wanna be wherever you are i wanna be holding you right now i wanna fall asleep in your arms wanna feel your breath in my hair i wanna be wherever you are you were only real when you looked in my eyes
