Weight Of Millions
04:40
|
|||
Well I’m living inside this prison, looking out at freedom.
I know what it means to be alone.
And I carry the weight of millions, on their way to glory
Who just turn out the lights when they leave home.
When they leave home.
So I made a phone call to God
Tried to make some sense of it all. I said,
Can’t you tell me - where do I fit in?
He said, “Sit still. This might sting a bit.
There’s no place you’ll ever fit.
You can try, but they will always win.”
They’ll always win.
You’ll never win.
[solos]
So I sit alone in this prison, this dark and lonely room.
Waiting for the time when I leave home.
And I want the world to listen. I’m shouting out for freedom.
But the lights go out and I’m alone.
I’m so alone.

4 A.M.
03:51
|

I know I’ve said it once before, I’m not really sure that it sunk in
So I keep running away,
and I should know by now that my running never wins
I know how far down I have to go
To find all the things I should already know
And I know that burns on deep inside,
and I can’t talk no matter how many times I try
What I never saw was everything I was doing to you
Its 4am and I should wake you up so you can feel this too
What I feel is what I feel
What I say is what I mean
What I mean is that I can’t be lost like this
It’s in my blood it’s in the air
It’s everything its everywhere
How did I get right here
I see the words that you write to me again
I was standing right here, you were standing on the ledge
Come talk to me, you brought me back on track
Its 4 am & now I’m here and I ain’t ever going back
And I can’t remember when I used to care
When I used to dare to climb this high
And now I don’t know how to get back off the ground
then skip the walk and move right up to fly

Rust
03:36
|
|||
Stands so tall as it touches the sky
Built to last forever
They come from miles & miles just to see
Stronger than anything before
Open your eyes
You’re standing in line
Where everything will turn to rust
As strong as you are
As tall as you stand
Knee deep now, living in the rust
Its might and awe are what remains
But all your memories are painful
Retracing words and the actions they caused
Stronger than anything before
Open your eyes
You’re standing in line
Where everything will turn to rust
As strong as you are
As tall as you stand
Knee deep now, living in the rust

Breathe
05:32
|

It feels like the ceiling's dropping
And the windows turn a shade of black
I watch as the sky is falling down, and I want I back
But I try. I still fight. I believe it's everlasting.
I can't feel what you want me to feel.
So I drop. It won't stop. I can see it's coming back
And I can't keep it from heading for me.
But I'm trying to breathe. Yeah, I'm trying to breathe.
It doesn't seem to take a lot of effort to bleed
When you're trying to breathe.
I don't want - to try another day.
This floor is getting colder than the sky is gray.
My chest is tighter, than it was yesterday.
If I could roll back time... roll back time.
I fall down, I lay low. It split my spirit in two.
I don't know how long I can act like nothing is wrong.
You look down, and find me, staring right back at you.
There’s got to be a better way.
And I'm still trying to breathe. Yeah, I'm trying to breathe
It doesn't really make a lot of difference to me
If you're trying to breathe.
[solo]
And I'm still trying to breathe. Yeah, I'm trying to breathe
It doesn't seem to take a lot of effort to bleed
When you're trying to breathe.
When you're trying to breathe.

Trying To Forget
05:00
|
|||
Something's slowly killing her desires.
She buys her time in case the morning comes.
Well she doesn't look upset
She lights another cigarette
She's only trying to forget
That she's lonely
The pictures just remind him of his temper.
He feels the need to burn her when she's gone.
No he doesn't feel regret
He sits alone at the TV set
He's only trying to forget
That he's lonely
[solo]
She's buried deep beneath the old azaleas
Her withered bones will sink into the earth
No she hasn't made a sound
Since he laid her underground
She's only waiting to be found
But he doesn't feel regret.
As he lights another cigarette.
He's only trying to forget
That they're lonely.

I
03:34
|
|||
You see me on your television
You hear me on your radio
A million channels live into your living room
And wherever else you want me to go
I (x2)
Now I’m not Elvis but I might be someone
I might be sitting here alone
So if you call and I don’t answer
Just leave a message at the sound of the tone
I (x2)
I don’t know why, I’m so damn ugly
I don’t know why, I’m so damn ugly
Mother, your son is ugly
Father, your son is ugly
I am the reason you’re feeling stupid
I walk beside you when you’re broke
I force feed you all the food on your plate
Then I make you laugh until you choke
Now I’m not Elvis & I’m not Dick Nixon
I’m not related to the Pope
If I’m not home I’m at the store again
Selling shit and buying hope
I (x4)

Dodging A Bullet
03:41

Darkness hides the scars beneath your eyes.
We are the same.
Your light, it blinds the memories in my mind.
I’m not to blame for what I do.
I feel your breathing as I press against your wall,
my face against the glass.
You’ll never notice I was ever here at all
I’m in your past.
And I stand outside your window, looking through.
Yeah I stand outside your window, watching you.
You think your prayers will help your soul to keep.
Don’t even try.
I watch you dreaming as you fall asleep.
I feel alive.
As I stand outside your window, looking through.
Yeah I stand outside your window, watching you.
[solo]
Sometimes I stay, to watch you pray.
Sometimes I stay, to watch you pray.
I’m still standing by your window, looking through.
Yeah, I stand outside your window, looking through.
As I stand outside your window, I’m watching you.
I’m watching you.

Virus
03:14
|

How does it feel today?
You’re the only one that ever really cared
But only about you
You stand there, a part of me
And watch me die a slow and brutal death
I can only wonder where you’ll go….
YOU SHAME ME, YOU FEED MY OCEANS
BURN MY RIVERS DOWN
YOU BLAME ME, BUT YOU’RE MY VIRUS
IN AGONY, WE ARE BOUND
How did we get this far?
I know I gave you every possible sign
I gave you everything
Now it’s out last dance
With no way to undo what was done
Now I just feel sorry for you

Stupid Things
04:08
|
|||
I’m afraid to turn away. It’s everywhere I look,
It’s always where I’m going
Now I have no point of view. Just one of no return.
And that one keeps on growing
Yeah I used to have a cause. I used to have a little hope.
So I don’t mean to cause a panic
I must be living in the past. Looks like we lost control.
You’re only coming through in static
Why do we care about all these stupid things?
Everything you read will never make it any better
Why do we follow all of these empty things?
Its irony cause in the end we’ll find what really matters
Now I can still hum the song. But I never learned the words
They always were too hard.
And I can hear it in your eyes. And I can taste in in your heart
That you let down your guard.
Yeah we were riding on that wave. A million miles high
Just staring at the sun
Now we’ve gone too far to turn. There’s no way to go back
Yeah I hope we had our fun
CHORUS
SOLO
Its time to forget, The writing on the wall
You just need to be yourself
And all the crying in the night. Yeah where do we go?
Yeah where do we go?
CHORUS
We might as well spend our time with these stupid things
No one wins; we lost our chance to make it any better

Little Dead Koalas
04:52
|
|||
I’ve got my cards laid out, and my soul is wearing thin.
I watch you play your hand, so I nod and raise again.
You're reaching for a plan and I can see what you mean.
Your stares are calculated cries or so it seems.
Well it’s been way too long, but I don’t think I’m ready for it.
And I won’t play alone today.
Well I’m just not that strong, and I don’t feel like fighting for it.
But I won’t die alone. I’ll take you down with me.
Like little dead koalas, no one blinks and silence speaks.
So I reach for my blade, but I left it in my other jeans.
You're reaching for a plan and I can see what you mean.
Your stares are calculated cries or so it seems.
Well it’s been way too long, but I don’t think I’m ready for it.
And I won’t play alone today.
Well I’m just not that strong, and I don’t feel like fighting for it.
But I won’t die alone. I’ll take you down,
I’ll take you down with me.

Free
05:13
|

I held on
Till I was cold and tired
I felt so small looking at the sky
I dreamed so big
But I came unwired
I let everything. Just pass me by
I settled down
To be nowhere, no how
And some way, I lost track of the time
So here I am now
Yesterday’s winner
Here I am waiting for a sign
AND YET I’M FREE –
BUT I’M ONLY AS FREE AS YOU WANT ME TO BE
I don’t know how
I found myself this way
I don’t know how
I found myself…
