I waited for the light to come to change my life, to change my life But I am blind, my faith is gone I'm finding out the good book was wrong
And I must face that I won't be saved
We're destined to all die alone I buried my cross with a rose I won't kneel at your alter now that I know It's a table for a magic show
I'm getting up from off my knees the guilt is gone and I can finally breathe But there is not a plan for me You're making my tired ears bleed
And you can pray But I won't be saved
We're destined to all die alone I buried my cross with a rose I won't kneel at your alter now that I know It's a table for a magic show
"Bonecrusher"
I feel the city breathe at night Beneath the stars and neon lights And I've got nothing to lose
Drink up (drink up) drink up the loneliness Drink up (drink up) drink up the loneliness
The streets outside, they burn with life But I am dead on the inside I think these pills are to blame
Drink up (drink up) drink up the loneliness Drink up (drink up) drink up the loneliness
And I've got romantic ideas But they're not meant for you And my bed's filled with Black roses to show that our love is through
I hope the fire licks my lips And pulls me close against her hips This town will go down in flames
Drink up, drink up, drink up the loneliness Drink up, drink up, drink up the loneliness
And I've got romantic ideas But they're not meant for you And my bed's filled with Black roses to show that our love is through
Like a broken mirror They're pieces of me Like a broken mirror They're pieces of me They're pieces of me They're pieces of me now
Drink up (drink up) drink up the loneliness Drink up (drink up) drink up my lonely Drink up my lonely Drink up Drink up the loneliness
"Sick Or Sane (Fifty For A Twenty)"
Take me to a hotel room And tie me to the bed of my mistakes Kiss me like I paid for this Please don't stop till you've raped all my faith
And the white coats, just don't get it, I'm a genius, with a headache. And the white coats, just don't get it, I'm a genius, with a headache.
Am I a little sick or a little sane? [x3] 'Cause I feel a little sick
I'm sorry I forgot your name But this is the first time I've played this game I know I made a big mistake Paying you to suck out all my faith
And the white coats, just don't get it, I'm a genius, with a headache. And the white coats, just don't get it, I'm a genius, with a headache.
Am I a little sick or a little sane? [x2]
Cause I feel a little sick
She screams! (come and get some of this!) [x4]

"Can't Be Saved"
Follow your bliss, it reads on my chest. I know I got it tattooed for a reason. Why can't I just hold it true? 'Cause I'm still crashing all the funerals Of these people that I never knew. Yeah!
I'm stuck in a coma, stuck in a never-ending sleep. And some day I will wake up and realize I made up everything.
I shut the door and turn all the lights out. And listen to all the songs that the night shouts. They go something just like this... So go fill up a glass with tonic rocks and gin and drink yourself to happiness.
I'm stuck in a coma, stuck in a never-ending sleep. And some day I will wake up and realize I made up everything.
We can all hang ourselves from gold chandeliers. And drink goodbye to all, all the pain and fears. Loose lips have sunk this ship, to a shallow grave. Washed up upon the rocks. I won't be saved. I won't be saved.
I'm stuck in a coma, stuck in a never-ending sleep. And some day I will wake up and realize I gave up everything.
(I won't...) So follow your bliss, it reads on my chest. (...be saved.) (I won't...) I know I got it tattooed for a reason. (...be saved.) (I won't...) I shut the door and, turn all the lights out. (...be saved.) (I won't...) And listen to all the songs that the night shouts. (...be saved.)
"Calling All Cars"
Calling all cars we've got another victim 'Cause my love has become an affliction What did you expect from me? What did you expect from me?
I'm sorry but I think I failed to mention That I lied at my very first confession What did you expect from me? What did you expect from me?
'Cause this has been building since I have been breathing And I know how it's going to end
So will you scatter my ashes where they won't be found? I kept my word when I swore that I would let you down And now that I'm gone Try to forget me and just move on So will you scatter my ashes where they won't be found? I kept my word and you hate me for it now You knew all along Try to forget me and just move on
Oh my dear, what have I gone and done now? It's curtain call, I'm about to take my last bow What did you expect from me? What did you expect from me?
Without giving away the entire ending I ruined the evening again
So will you scatter my ashes where they won't be found? I kept my word when I swore that I would let you down And now that I'm gone Try to forget me and just move on So will you scatter my ashes where they won't be found? I kept my word and you hate me for it now You knew all along Try to forget me and just move on
I don't have love left inside, inside And I don't have love left inside, inside Are you desperate for an answer? I don't have an ounce of good left in me now That's why I walked out
So will you scatter my ashes where they won't be found? I kept my word when I swore that I would let you down And now that I'm gone Try to forget me and just move on So will you scatter my ashes where they won't be found? I kept my word and you hate me for it now You hate me for it now Try to forget me and just move on
I am not the one that you should blame So take what I left you for the pain I am not the one that you should blame So take what I left you for the pain And do your best to forget my name
"Shark Attack"
I've spent the last year paying a stranger to listen To childhood thoughts about the love I am missing I'd fallen for one of the oldest tricks in the book
The hooks were baited out with fear (The hooks were baited out with fear) Because I wasn't thinking clear
Just save yourself Cause it's too late for me. Just save yourself Cause I've lost everything.
Lying on the couch and spilling all of my guts out Walking out with nothing but a head full of self doubt I take back every good thing that I ever said
Cause it was all so meaningless (Cause it was all so meaningless) It didn't help clean up my mess
Just save yourself Cause it's too late for me Just save yourself Cause I lost everything
Now I see You rip me open, ripped me up Now I see You rip me open, ripped me up
I spent the last full year of my life, Asking the questions just to find out it was all a lie
Just save yourself Cause it's too late for me. Just save yourself Cause I've lost everything.
Now I see (Now I see) Now I see (Now I See)
"Still Searching"
I can't believe it's been a year Since I kissed my fears On their salty lips And said to them I love you all
I carried the weight of the world on my shoulders For 20 years and look at me now
I've got something to say About the last 12 months I've lived I'm not the same kid I was when I was younger I just thought you should know I take a pill every day to help me deal with life
And oh my God, I've lost control I stare at accidents in a sick attempt To feel at all
I carried the weight of the world on my shoulders For 20 years and look at me now
I've got something to say About the family that I've lost I hope my mother and my father think That they raised a healthy boy Who needs the help of a shrink To even leave the house?
And oh my God, I've lost control I stare at accidents in a sick attempt To feel at all
I'm not the same kid I was when I was younger I just thought you I just thought you should know
I'm not the same kid I was when I was younger I just thought you I just thought you should know
I carried the weight of the world on my shoulders For 20 years and look at me now And now And now I'm finding a way to forget everything that I know
I can't believe it's been a year Since I kissed my fears On their salty lips And said to them I love you all
Don't ask, just follow Repeat and swallow Don't ask, just swallow them down your throat Don't ask, just swallow Repeat and follow Don't ask, just swallow them down your throat
My best friend is a man, with a lab coat and a grin I hold my shaking hand and he gives me medicine It almost makes me feel at home But they slowly steal my soul I tell him I still feel alone "Don't worry someday I promise you will feel whole"
And oh my God, I've lost control Of the only thing in life I had a hold of And oh my God, I've lost control Of the only thing in life I had a hold of And oh my God, I've lost control Of the only thing in life I had a hold of
"To All The Crowded Rooms"
I don't lie I love you all I do And to all of you dancing Just don't be afraid to fall It's true
We will capture you in open arms When you're tired and alone
My life is better than it ever was My life is better than it ever was
And I'll give blood to your dry veins We do this for the passion and not for the fashion or fame
We will capture you In open arms When you're tired and alone
My life is better than it ever was My life is better than it ever was
This could be your home when you're all alone Tired and desperate My life is better than it ever was
To all the crowded rooms I say you gave me a home anyway [x4]
I'll give blood to your dry veins I'll give blood to your dry veins (To your dry veins) (I'll give blood) To all the crowded rooms that say (To your dry veins) To all the crowded rooms that say (You gave me a home anyway)
My life is better than it ever was My life is better than it ever was
This could be your home when you're all alone Tired and desperate This could be your home when you're all alone Tired and desperate
"Lost And Found"
This island has become An ocean and my boat's too small The waves are crashing in And I can't save this sinking ship
I sent out signal flares But no one out there seems to care Now the voice inside my head Is the only thing that I have left
This is the part where I'll admit I'm getting what I deserve
And now I'm lost at sea I'm drowning in what I won't be I'm haunted by the sound (Sweet sound of my last breath)
Twenty days at sea My skin is blistered from the heat I can beg and I can plead But what I get is never what I need
This is the part where I'll admit I'm getting what I deserve
And now I'm lost at sea I'm drowning in what I won't be I'm haunted by the sound (Sweet sound of my last breath)
And now I'm lost at sea I'm drowning in what I won't be I'm haunted by the sound (Sweet sound of my last breath)
Whoa whoa I'm going down I'm going down Whoa whoa I'm going down I'm going down
This is the part where I'll admit I'm getting what I deserve
And now I'm lost at sea I'm drowning in what I won't be I'm haunted by the sound (Sweet sound of my last breath)
And now I'm lost at sea I'm drowning in what I won't be I'm haunted by the sound (Sweet sound of my last breath)
"Every Day Is A Struggle"
I was the chapstick in your purse, to keep you smooth. I was the finger in your throat, to keep you cute. My liver hates you for walking out on us. My kidney’s drowning in a pool of a long lost love.
I stole your perfume to spray in my room, You will always be here.
So Much for the past year, I poured it down the drain with all the alcohol and pain I got from, Your Eyes, Oh Your Eyes. I’m burning out my bedside, And I’m rotting out my insides slowly.
I was the hand that held your hair back from your face. Now I must forget the way you taste.

So Much for the past year, I poured it down the drain with all the alcohol and pain I got from, Your Eyes, Oh Your Eyes. I’m burning out my bedside, And I’m rotting out my insides slowly.
I love you so damn much; I’ll even start to pray. I’ll put my faith in all your bullshit if it means you’ll stay. [Repeat]

I love you so much, I started praying. I love you so much that I started praying. [Repeat]

(My father's sins are out tonight) [x2]
I haven't seen him in years [x2]
(My mother's sins are out tonight) [x2]
I haven't loved her in years [x2]

I'm not waiting [x2]
I'm betting dreams upon my paper wings Because flying isn't just for kings I take the stairs to the very top floor I paid the souper to leave open the door A perfect sunset is sinking in the sky I know my body is ready to fly I start the countdown backwards from ten When I reach one my family name will end
Falling down as windows pass I start to cry And curse the day my parents laid In a bed of hopelessness where love was made Please mark my grave "Unknown"

"The Priest And The Matador"
Here I lie I'm staring at Clouds in shapes of Dogs and cats I hear a woman Start to yell Oh dear God I Think he fell
I'm the arrow Shot straight to hell From the bow of William Tell My body lies Kissing the ground Like a cross turned upside down
A priest is rushing To my side Begins to read me My last rites Father you're too late My faith is weak So won't you save your half-hearted speech
I'm the arrow, Shot straight to hell From the bow of William Tell My body lies Kissing the ground Like a cross turned upside down
A man bends down and says, "Son we're gonna get through this one take my hand and let us pray." I scream, "Please get the fuck away."
I'm the arrow Shot straight to hell From the bow of William Tell My body lies Kissing the ground Like a cross turned upside down
The ambulance is singing As cops push back the crowd I start to take my last breath As blood pours out my mouth The medics walk in my way I think this could be it I hear 'em start to state, "The time of death is half past six."
I'm the arrow Shot straight to hell I'm the arrow Shot straight to hell
