Blood (empty promisses)
I will forgive but I won't forget
And I hope you know you've lost my respect
You better watch out
Cause you don't know what's going on around you
You better think twice
Before you fly off the handle and lose it
You better join us
Before you get lost in the shuffle
You gotta rise against
The demons that are gonna try and hold you down
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love
The ones you love
The ones you love
The ones you love
Cause I'm not a pawn for you to play in your fucking game
I've got dignity and a dream that I want to achieve
Under pressure you crumbled and you let me down
But I'm not deaf, and all I hear are your empty promises
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love
(Blood) The ones you love
(Blood) The ones you love
(Blood) The ones you love
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
I will forgive but I won't forget
And I hope you know you've lost my respect
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Not Listening
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
No
Cause you gotta be bigger
And be faster, and be stronger
If you're gonna survive any longer
In this lifetime it better be the right time
Cause your first time might be your last time
Am I a failure
If I got nothing to lose
No I'm not a failure
I've got something to prove
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore
The more I ignore
Cause I've lost my innocence
And I'm a stranger, a life changer
I'm a man that's not afraid of danger
I walk my own path and blaze my own trail
Because I'm not afraid to derail
I won't get in line, or be a middle man
So fuck you, I've made my own plans
And I got respect, and I don't neglect
The people that I really care to protect
Am I a failure
If I got nothing to lose
No I'm not a failure
I got something to prove
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore
I told you before I won't listen no more
I told you before let's settle the score
I told you before I won't listen no more
I told you before let's settle the score
If not me, then who?
If not now, then when?
If not me, then who?
If not now, then when?
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore
I told you before I won't listen no more
I told you before let's settle the score
I told you before I won't listen no more
I told you before let's settle the score
Shut it up, burn it out
Blow it up, set it off
Fuck it up, check it out
Burn it up, blow it up
Right now
Stop Looking, Start Seeing
Hit or miss, fuck or fight
It's time to live your life
Go ahead, I know I'm right
I'm gonna lay it on the line
Put yourself in my shoes
Would you stand up for your rights
Line em up and knock em down
I'm not running scared tonight
I have climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
I've climbed these walls before (scaled these walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
I see the walls are closing in
And I feel I am in danger
My enemy is not alone
In the mirror there's a stranger
As I tried to break out
My panic led to fear
Hopeless, I am alone
I'm afraid the end is near
The truth doesn't always have to hurt
I have climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
I've climbed these walls before (scaled these walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Stop looking, start seeing, yeah
Right now
Stop looking, start seeing, yeah
Right now
The truth doesn't always have to hurt
I have climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
I've climbed these walls before (scaled these walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
I have climbed these walls before
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
I have climbed these walls before
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
And I'll never be the same
And I'll never be the same
Why does the truth always have to hurt
Take Me
Take me, and let me in
Don't break me, and shut me out
So take me (take me) and let me in
Don't break me (don't break me) and shut me out
I lit my pain on fire
And I watched it all burn down
And now I'm dancing in the ashes
And there's no one else around
Because I wanna be part of something
This is just a story of a broken soul
As days go by my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by
So take me (take me) and let me in
Don't break me (don't break me) and shut me out
I'm burning in the heavens, and I'm drowning in a hell
And my soul is in a coma, and none of my friends can tell
That I'm reaching out and getting nothing
This is just story of a broken soul
As days go by my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by
So take me (take me) and let me in
Don't break me (don't break me) and shut me out
So take me (take me) and let me in
Don't break me (don't break me) and shut me out
Don't shut me out
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up, and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up, and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up, and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up, and vent your pain
As days go by my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by
So take me (take me) and let me in
Don't break me (don't break me) and shut me out
So take me (take me) and let me in
Don't break me (don't break me) and shut me out
As days go by my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by
Take me
Don't break me
Getting Away With Murder
Somewhere beyond hapiness and sadness
I need to calculate what creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And your'e the master, and I am waiting for disaster
I feel irrational, so confrontational
To tell the truth I am getting away with murder
It is impossible to never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
Getting away, getting away, getting away
I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back cause I don't even want to
And I dont need to, because I'm getting away with murder
I feel irrational, so confrontational
To tell the truth I am getting away with murder
It is impossible to never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
Getting away, getting away, getting away
Getting away, getting away, getting away
Getting away, getting away, getting away
Murder
Somewhere beyond hapiness and sadness
I need to calculate what creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishments
And you're the master, and I am craving this disaster
I feel irrational, so confrontational
To tell the truth I am getting away with murder
It is impossible to never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
Getting away, getting away, getting away
I feel irrational, so confrontational
To tell the truth I am getting away with murder
It is impossible to never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
Be Free
I woke up and I feel like shit
I don't remember last night, I'm getting sick of this
I hit the bottle when I got off stage
And got piss drunk stupid and I went in a rage
I think I mighta got in a fight
Because my knuckles are bloody and I don't feel alright
I hit the bottom and I don't even care
You say I'm goin to hell but I am already there
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
I wanna be free
From this ball and chain and be free
From this life of pain and be free
From this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you
And now I'm full of guilt and shame
I can't point a finger cause there's no one to blame
So I say I'll never do it again
But when the sun goes down you are my only friend
I think that I am starting to see
I have become everything I never wanted to be
I'm really gettin sick of myself
Cause when I look into the mirror I see somebody else
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
I wanna be free
From this ball and chain and be free
From this life of pain and be free
From this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you
I wanna be free (be free)
From this ball and chain and be free (be free)
From this life of pain and be free (be free)
From this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
So sick and tired of being sick and tired
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
So sick and tired of being sick and tired
I wanna be free
From this ball and chain and be free
From this life of pain and be free
From this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you
I wanna be free
From this ball and chain and be free
From this life of pain and be free
From this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you
I wanna be free from you
Done With You
I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
There's no salvation in the comfort of you (comfort of you)
And I finally realize you're tearing me apart
So help me! Save me!
Tell me that the end is near
Help me! Save me!
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you
You've made my life completely miserable
You drove me to the edge, you've caused me all this pain
But I always love you cause you're oh so special (oh so special)
I'm broken and I'm alone and I cannot maintain
So help me! Save me!
Tell me that the end is near
Help me! Save me!
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you
I'm done with you
Done with you
I am done with you
Done with you
I am done with you
Done with you
I am done with you
Done with you
I am done with you
I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
Help me! Save me!
Tell me that the end is near
Help me! Save me!
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you
Because you and me are through
You couldn't help me, you couldn't save me
Now I know the end is here
I am done with you
Scars
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to fail
I'm drunk and I'm feeling down, and I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around, why don't you just go home
Cause you chanelled all your pain, and I can't help you fix yourself
You're makin me insane, all I can say is
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And the scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to fail
I tried to help you once, a kiss my only vice
I saw you goin down but you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hands
Compassion's in my nature
Tonight is our last stand
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And the scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to fail
I'm drunk and I'm feeling down, and I just wanna be alone
You shoulda never come around, why don't you just go home
Cause you're drowning in the water, and I tried to grab your hand
I left my heart open, but you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And the scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to fail
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And the scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to fail
Sometimes
I'm dreaming about tomorrow
I'm thinking of yesterday
I consume myself in sorrow
This moment in time is what I betray
But I am searching for the answers
And I look around, and sometimes I get sad
Cause I don't know which way to go
And I look around, and sometimes I get sad
Cause my life is spinning out of control
I never I know what you want
I never know what you need
It was different from the start
When you cut me in two
I never thought I would bleed
But I am searching for the answers
And I look around, and sometimes I get sad
Cause I don't know which way to go
And I look around, and sometimes I get sad
Cause my life is spinning out of control
I will go this alone
I don't need nobody's help
I've gotta do this myself
Alone, alone, alone, alone
And I look around, and sometimes I get sad
Cause I don't know which way to go
And I look around, and sometimes I get sad
Cause my life is spinning out of control
And I look around, and sometimes I get sad
Cause I don't know which way to go
And I look around, and sometimes I get sad
Cause my life is spinning out of control
Blanket Of Fear
Well I am awake under this blanket of fear
And I must say that none of the people I see belong here
Now everyone's asleep, but I am awake and I am dreaming
I believe it's time for the rude awakening
So hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality
Hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality
I believe the only thing we have to fear is fear itself
And the man behind the curtain
I heard him say, dreamers have become an endangered species
And I am aware of the rude awakening
So hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality
Hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality
I'm falling in my dream, I finally hit the ground
I'm falling in my dream, I finally hit the ground
I hit the ground
Because I, I can't keep my mind
From going into dark places
Because I, I can't keep my mind
From going into dark places
So hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality
Hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality
I'm falling in my dream, I finally hit the ground
I'm falling in my dream, I finally hit the ground
Tyranny Of Normality
The media is a seduction of human desire
(Set the money, set the money on fire)
And if you try to sell me the truth
Then I know you're a liar, a liar
It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality
Our culture has become complacent
And has no desire
(Take back, take back our empire)
And the ethical slaughter of truth
Needs to be retired, we're tired
It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality
It's the death of outrage
I want to turn a new page
And mourn the death of our age
The obituaries on the front page
Since the death of outrage
I want to turn a new page
And mourn the death of our age
The obituaries on the front page
It's the death of outrage
I mourn the death of our age
The obituaries on the front page
It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality
Do Or Die
Today I saw my hero fall apart
The one who taught me to be strong
On the outside I look fine
But on the inside I am dying
My strength is overcome by pain
My love for you remains the same
The loneliness is setting in
I have no one to free my sins
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's yours and mine
Now it's my turn to help you out
Cause you were there when I was down
It's hard for me to see you this way
Losing all your sanity
You helped me keep my dreams alive
Without you how will I survive
It's time for me to be a man
Now I finally understand
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's yours and mine
It's never too late to live your life (live your life)
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life (live your life)
The time is now, it's yours and mine
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore
Today I saw my hero fall apart
The one who taught me to be strong
On the outside I look fine
But on the inside I am dying
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's yours and mine
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's yours and mine
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's yours and mine
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore

Harder Than A Coffin Nail (bonus)
God bless the coffin they carry me off in
God bless the coffin they carry me off in
...they carry me off in
I've walked amongst the living dead
And I'm sick of the voices that are in my head
I've taken a ride and I've danced with death
I had nine lives and I got one left
Cause I've got what you want
You've got what I need
Let's get together and keep me forever, yeah

I've been to heaven, I've been to hell

(I don't need you)
Cuz I can handle it all and do it by myself
(I can do this by myself)
I'm never alone until I hit rock bottom
(I'm not afraid to, no)
I'm so fucking stubborn, so fucking rotten
(I hit the bottom)

Caught Dead (bonus)
I've got passion and a reason
And I won't neglect my emotions
Because I wanna spill, spill my guts
But I don't want to pick them up
I've got passion, and a reason
And I won't neglect my emotions
I'm excited and I'm exploding
I'm ignited and I'm ready to go off
Rather be caught dead than weak
Cause I'd rather be caught dead than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong
Cause I'd rather be caught dead than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong
I wanna spill, spill my guts
But I don't want to pick them up
I've got too much pride and desire
To let this go, I'll walk through fire
I've got passion, and a reason
And I won't neglect my emotions
Rather be caught dead than weak
Cause I'd rather be caught dead than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong
