*Verse 1*
Madness swirling all around.
A hurricane of sound.
A dark and fearsome shroud.
No one can hear us now.
But no one even cares.
The toxins in the air
Are making me so sick.
I'm just so done with this.
*Pre-Chorus*
Take
A-
Way
The pain that we know.
Pave
The
Way
On this broken road
We're
Rai-
Sing
The Hell from below.
It's
Time
To
Reap what we have sown.
*Chorus*
Sometime you're lost
And can't be found.
Sometimes your world
Comes crashing down.
But if you open up
Your eyes,
Then you can
Finally realize
You're not alone (x2)
*Verse 2*
The buildings crashing down.
We're just a lifeless crowd.
When will we make things right?
Please bring us to the light.
Oh, God please give us strength
And guide us through this pain.
Please open up the door
Lead us away from war.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
*Bridge*
Sometimes I know we're lost,
And we just can't be found.
But just keep your head up,
And take a look around.
We live in a world that is
Scorched and burned by flames.
But no one understands,
That this life is not a game.
We all wanna save the world,
But we don't know how.
Little did we know,
It's a little too late now.
Pray to your gods and your angels,
Cuz this will be the end.
It's time that we all repay
For all of our sins.
*Outro*
And with this
We are beginning. (x2)

*Intro*
*Verse 1*
I just can't seem to get away
Because my thoughts of you won't fade.
You pull me in to let me drown.
Just get away from me.
I can't spit out your bitter taste.
You're the mistake I can't erase.
I know exactly what you are,
You are an animal.
*Pre-Chorus*
I feel it racing in my skin,
I feel that sweet adrenaline.
I can't keep playing all your games,
You are a beast that can't be tamed.
I feel the sting of your betrayal,
All you can do is make things fail.
You're stupid, sick, and self-obsessed,
And not so different from the rest.
*Chorus*
Tear my heart right open,
Leave me here so broken.
But I know that now,
I'm never going down.
One day you'll be regrettin'
and try to make confessions
To an empty crowd,
But it's all over now.
*Verse 2*
I have got better things to do
Than waste all of my time on you.
You change your mind so rapidly,
And take away from me.
I'm just an option on the side,
You've made my feelings paralyzed.
I know exactly what you are,
You are an animal.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
*Breakdown*
Gave you my time, gave you my trust,
I guess my all wasn't enough.
You're just a demon
With no soul.
I can't undo the things you've done.
I was on my knees, you held the gun.
You're nothing but
An empty hole.
The things you've done,
You'll never know.
Devastation
Has broken my soul.
I'm breaking out,
Breaking your hold.
You are so senseless.
How could you be so cold?
(Chorus) (2x)

*Intro*
*Verse 1*
Make them fail not,
This is fail shot.
Take the hail not.
I have no shot.
Snow is real cold.
They have no home.
I have to go,
Nothing to show.
*Chorus*
I've been waiting here for too long now,
I've gotta leave.
Too long,
So long.
*Verse 2*
Tommy "Good Boy",
His life no joy.
Hole through his neck.
Less than perfect.
I go home now
To see God now.
This life no good,
They have no food.
(Chorus)
*Bridge*
Pay wage
Part time
Lead a
Good life
Don't ask me questions but think it through
These lies and falsehoods must be true
The core belief may deny
You must learn to run and hide
So pay wage
Part time
Lead a
Good life
(Chorus) (x3)

First World Problems
05:00
|
|||
|
*Intro*
*Verse 1*
Drown yourself
In all your issues.
No one else is
Crying with you.
Make temporary
Commitments,
And disrespect
All that you're given.
Take your drugs
And then complain
When substances
Won't kill the pain.
Wake up,
Take a look around.
Is it all so
Horrid now?
*Pre-Chorus*
Bathe in sins
Then act so pure.
You hypocrite,
So immature.
*Chorus*
I hear the voices calling,
Calling out my name.
Our ephemeral ending
Was just more of the same.
*Verse 2*
All the precious
Things you own
Are worth nothing
More than stone.
Take a second
Just to live.
Open up your
Heart and give.
Media has
Poisoned minds,
But that can
Be left behind.
I'm not innocent
But I'm changing.
Stay sane as the
World goes crazy.
*Pre-Chorus*
Petty thoughts
Keep you constricted.
Once clean,
But you're now afflicted.
(Chorus)
*Breakdown*
I can't get away,
I just can't escape.
Shut up with your first world problems. (x2)
(Chorus)
*Outro*

Remember My Name
04:38
|
|||
|
*Intro*
*Verse 1*
When you feel you're about to suffocate,
I'll be right here.
When obstacles get in the way,
I'll catch your tears.
This whole world is filled with hate,
But don't let it in.
And there's no need to complicate,
So hold up your chin.
*Pre-Chorus*
You know that it's always darkest
Right before
The dawn let's make it
Night no more.
*Chorus*
(I will) Fight these feelings for you,
Feelings for you,
Feelings for me.
(I will) Fight these feelings for you
Whenever you're blue,
And heal memories.
*Verse 2*
When you feel your world's come to an end,
Never give in.
And when you're in need of a friend,
I'll hold up your chin.
(Pre-Chorus)
*Chorus*
(I will) Fight these feelings for you,
Feelings for you,
Feelings for me.
(I will) Fight these feelings for you
Whenever you're blue,
And heal memories.
And I will help you to be strong,
And I will help move life along.
(When I) Fight these feelings for you,
And all that you do,
Remember my name.
*Solo*
(Chorus)

Death Gives You Cancer
05:58
|
|||
|
*Intro*
*Verse 1*
Here's a tale
That has never failed
To strike fear to all of those
Who hear.
Life is selfish,
And all of the selfless
Are the ones who always
Shed their tears.
We're all diseased.
We cannot be at ease
When we're the source of all our
Stinging pain.
Die on your knees
Cuz you will never leave
This place in which you will always
Remain.
*Chorus*
My legs are falling off the edge.
I hear the hateful words you've said.
I've kept myself from giving in,
But could this be end?
Just like a cancer in my head,
I need a cure or I'll be dead.
I've kept myself from giving in,
But could this be the end?
How did we fall into this mess?
The world that we once knew was dead.
Not giving up or giving in,
This will not be the end.
*Verse 2*
The lies we hide
Should all be left behind.
The truth should prosper on
Forevermore.
No taking sides,
Just peace with no more fights.
But this is the demise we have
Conjured.
We're the epitome
Of pettiness and greed.
We're all we said we wouldn't be
Before.
We may be free,
But in reality
What does that mean? None of us
Can be sure.
(Chorus)
*Breakdown*
{HEY}
The rage and fear go on and on,
{Repeats with screams}
We're sick,
So sick (x2)
But this Black Plague cannot last long.
{Repeats with screams}
We're sick,
So sick (x2)
We'll shut you out and lock the door,
We will not take this anymore
[NO's]
We're sick,
So sick (x2)
You try to kick us while we're down,
We will not break or be unwound.
[NO's]
We're sick,
So sick (x2)
We took our chances
{And we failed}
But we won't give up
{Won't derail}
[NO]
We're sick,
So sick (x4)
(Chorus)

Adam's Song
03:11

|
*Intro*
*Verse 1*
Come on,
I don't know now what
I need.
An education.
Tell me
How to behave.
I don't
Know how to live.
I'm glad
You are in charge here,
Someone
To make decisions.
I love
The propaganda.
I changed,
We have to show.
*Riff*
*Verse 2*
The K
GB is jealous
If your
Success in control.
You are
Good at telling
What is
Safe and not.
Movies
Are really scary.
I do
Not want to be them.
All of
My friends around are
Changing.
We have to show.
*Breakdown*
You try to brainwash us
(Brainwash us, to brainwash us)
Simply by hating us
(Hating us, by hating us)
Try to sew our mouths shut
(Our mouths shut, sew our mouths shut)
You'll never shut us up
(Shut us up, won't shut us up)
*Outro*

Silhouettes
04:28
|

|
*Intro*
*Verse 1*
The night is now surrounding
what's left of you and me.
I'm calling out
So desperately.
What we had was astounding,
Impossible to beat.
Please come and shine
Your light on me.
*Chorus*
I found you in the darkness,
And brought you to the light.
I'll hold you close to tell you
That things will be alright.
Remember all the days,
And don't forget the sights
Of sihouettes of us that have been
Lost out in the night.
*Verse 2*
This void is never-ending.
This well just feels so cold.
I'm falling and I
Just can't grab hold.
The stories always bending
Into something untold.
But now the plot
Seems to unfold.
(Chorus)
*Breakdown*
We can turn this dark to light,
Bring these shadows back to life.
It's our only chance tonight.
We can turn this dark to light,
Bring these shadows back to life.
It's our only chance tonight.
Can't you bring me back to life?
I've been sparked, but can't ignite.
I've been waiting all this time,
To bring these sillhouettes to life.
*Guitar Solo*
*Chorus*
I found you in the darkness,
And brought you to the light.
I'll hold you close to me.
Yeah, things will be allright.
Now don't forget those days,
And don't forget the nights.
These sillhouettes are all we have
To keep our dreams alive.

A Thousand Times
05:21
|
|||
|
*Intro*
*Verse 1*
We
Were make believe.
In
Our fantasy.
Let's make memories
As we make our dreams
Realities.
I cherish each day
When I can see your face,
I'm sorry.
*Pre-Chorus*
I guess it's true, what they say
All along.
You never know what you got
'Till it's gone.
*Chorus*
I need you right here, by my side.
You're all that I'm not in my life.
I wish that I could make things right.
I'd make it up to you a thousand times.
*Verse 2*
I promised change.
But I forced
You through
So much pain.
I miss you so much,
From your soul to your touch,
Yes I do.
I'd do anything,
Walk through all of Hell's rings,
Just to prove myself to you.
(Pre-Chorus)
*Chorus*
I need you right here, by my side.
You're all that I'm not in my life.
I wish that I could make things right.
I'd make it up to you a thousand times.
I was so wrong you were so right.
Petty temptations blocked my sight.
But if you gave me one last try,
I'd make it up to you a thousand times.
*Bridge*
Yeah, betrayed your trust,
Caused our foundation to rust,
yeah I know.
Yeah, I really messed up,
But refuse to give up,
And let you go.
You're truly the best thing,
To ever have been resting
In my arms.
But I promise you one thing,
I'll never do something
To ever cause you harm.
I'll hold you up (x4)
*Chorus*
I need you right here, by my side.
You're all that I'm not in my life.
I wish that I could make things right.
I'd make it up to you a thousand times.
I was so wrong you were so right.
Petty temptations blocked my sight.
But if you gave me one last try,
I'd make it up to you a thousand times.
I need you right here, by my side.
You're all that I'm not in my life.
I wish that I could make things right.
I'd make it up to you a thousand times.
