Your Heroes Are All Dead
03:32
|

This is it! The end of the line
There's a vortex raining chaos from the sky
All the pretty people died and I'm still standing
The apocalypse, and the world we know and love has gone to shit
How did things end up like this?
[Chorus]
And they tried to tell us that we were in danger
Tried to tell us all but we still dropped the bomb
Look at what we've done!
And I try not to think about it night and day
The memories of things that cannot be undone
What have we become?
This is it, the end of days
I always thought that I'd be older when it came
Twenty four and I've achieved a lot of nothing
Step outside and the city crumbles right before my eyes
Disappearing in the fire

Spineless
04:17
|
|||
I mess myself up to forget the things I can't ignore
I must admit I've never felt so much hate before
I never thought that I was brave until I met you
You let all your friends take the bullet for you
[Chorus]
You're so disgusting to me
You'd do anything to save your worthless hide
I don't know how you can be so spineless
I never took the time to thank you for the things you did
Despite this misery that made me who I am
I hoped you'd fall from your high perch and break your spine
But you don't have one so I guess you'll be fine
I know you're empty and you're weighed down by your sins
A hollow frame of someone that was once a man
We were both tested, I stood my ground, you ran away
Do you feel anything? Have you no shame?
You'll never tell, they took the bullet for you

Peaches and Cream
03:27
|
|||
I know you feel the same but I'm too shy to tell you
I've got myself to blame, I wish that I could tell you
I'm waiting for the day that I can make it clear
I'm waiting for the words, the words that you will hear
[Chorus]
(Show me how) we could be like a nightmare and a dream
(Show me how) we could be like peaches and cream
(Show me how) you complete me like a river to the sea
Our story's coming to a close, just like Act II's final scene
I'm really bad with words, I guess I shouldn't tell you
I can't articulate whenever I'm around you
I'm waiting for the day that I can make it clear
I'm choking on my words, please get me out of here!

Standing on the outside I can see it won't be long
Before you rise up from the ashes and proclaim yourself a god
And when you did those things did you feel any guilt at all?
I can see you're happy with yourself but who will miss you when you're gone?
I hate you, but I hate myself more and if the surface world gets interesting I'll dig up from the core
The pressure is building up today but if you want to we can close our eyes, let darkness light our way
Now I'm standing in a hotel room in Washington D.C.
Looking in the mirror trying to face the person staring back at me
And I know I'm just a sinner making fires to be seen
But in due time I'll become the monster I was always meant to be
And I'll fight you til the end just like we did before
Stop trying to pretend this isn't what you live for
Your hatred poisons me but I will drink it all
And I will be the one that brings you down
Call my name, remind me I'm alive
Save me from this hell
Lead me to a place where I can hide
Pretending that everything's alright is such a good way to destroy yourself, break down from the inside
You went down when you told yourself that lie now tell me
Does it make you feel good to be killed by your own pride?

Reasons
02:17
|
|||
I won't shove down your throat my own beliefs or why I think I'm right
I'll let you finish this time so tell me what's on your mind, darling
[Chorus]
(You)
You're doing the right thing for all the wrong reasons
You're pushing everyone away
You were made to love but forced to not feel it
You want tomorrow to come today
How long? How come I'm wrong again? It seems I'll never know your mind
What were you expecting to find? I just did what I thought was right at the time
I don't expect that you're sorry for the things that you did
But knowing then what you know now would you do it different?
You don't have to explain yourself I already know
Life goes on but...

Turn It Off
03:02
|
|||
So you're feeling just as happy as can be
And you wrote a song so we could all feel the same
And it got some airplay on the radio
And I don't know how much more I can take
[Chorus]
Whoa oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah
No no no
Hey hey hey!
A remedy for all those who are sad
And you made it rhyme and upbeat so god bless you
But I must admit it makes me kind of mad
When you tell me all the songs I like depress you

Rust
03:13
|

Listen up, there's no need to fear
It's perfectly OK to be weird as long as you're beautiful
You can be whatever you like
You can reach the highest heights as long as you're beautiful
[Chorus]
Show me where to go from here
Show me how to disappear so I don't have to feel this hate
Show me how to love myself
Or put my faith in someone else so I don't have to feel this way
Writhing in the depths of despair
No one's even gonna care unless you're beautiful
But If you've got the money to pay
They've got a million ways to make you beautiful
I don't even know what I'm feeling anymore
Is it apathy or sadness?
Misery or pride?
So let me go
Show me how to love myself
Or put my faith in someone else so I don't have to feel this way

Like a Bomb
03:47
|
|||
Why won't you say something?
I wish I knew what to do
But in my condition I'm the last person you'd turn to
I'm ashamed to admit this but I don't know the difference between
Taking what I need to survive and blowing up everything
[Chorus]
Like a bomb, I screamed on my way down
I exploded before I hit the ground
In a flash everything around turned to ash
There's nothing left here now
And it's because of me
Burn every bridge until there's no way back to the shore
No lifeboats can save you now
You're broken and insecure
I cannot help you if I don't know what's going on
You say you're running away, but what are you running from?
[Bridge]
You knew I was a liability, a timebomb set to explode
And I know I'm not the one you need, I'm just an unstable isotope
So before the fire destroys your life and everything you know
Save yourself x2
I have won but I don't feel the same
What have I done? I've ruined everything!

Tonight
03:29
|
|||
You made me realise that you don't want me here
I tried to be what you want, you wanted someone else
I can't kid myself no more
Thinking that you would change and it took so long to walk away
I said you don't love me
You said it's in my head
But it's not that hard to say
I know that words are wind
And you never cared about anyone but yourself and him
So here's me wishing you the best
Don't worry about me
I will be just fine
This will pass me by
And the pain will fade with time
I will get through this if I get through tonight
And somehow I will find a way to move on with my life
I promised myself that I wouldn't write a song for you
We never got that far
Those things you said were never true
And I just feel so used
But that's just who I am, I guess
Forever stuck in second best

Pull the Trigger
04:42
|
|||
Standing in Bedlam, people waving flags of hatred in the streets
Say it's religion, they're just twisting every word to suit their needs
Everyone thinks that their intentions are the best but they don't see
When they look at their own reflections it's distorted by their greed
[Chorus]
If we pull the trigger at the same time, there will be no one left to blame
I've got one question then,
If cheaters never lose, then what will you do when there's no one to play your game?
We're getting fat, the water's rising but nobody seems to care
Cause we're all experts now, if we can't see it then it must not be there
Listen to me, you fuckwits... ignorance will kill you in the end
You'll bring your own destruction, who will you blame when there's nothing left?
Me and my friends, we stuck together being stuck here in this town
I feel you fading out but please old friend, don't give up on me now!
I know I put you through hell, I refuse to let your ship go down
I know you hate me but it's my name that you're screaming as you drown
If we pull the trigger at the same time, there will be no one left to blame
I've got one question then,
If cheaters never lose, then what will you do when there's no one left but you?

The Great Undying
02:29
|
|||
Let the sound lift you higher
Let your pain melt away
Just be still for one minute, dear
You've already come a long way
And sometimes you're gonna feel to broken and used up
It's just the life we've chosen
Would you give up if I could change it all for you?
What would you have me do?
Well one day we'll cross the line together
Cause somehow we're gonna find the answer
Cause this town, it can't be all there is to see
So just stick with me and then
We'll set sail into the great undying
On this ship, we'll ride the waves of time
I'll hold you, we'll see what's on the other side
I hope that I'm wrong this time
And we'll go somewhere we won't be stepped on
Cause God knows, God knows we've all got problems
But right now we'll try to help those who need us
Instead of pushing down we'll pull them up
|
||||
12. |

There's a person inside me raising a glass to the ones that I hold dear
So here's to the future hoping that I can catch my break this year
Cause I'm through with the pain and I'm through with the lies and I'm through with wanting to die
I'll just write how I'm feeling down in a song cause I don't want you to see me cry
Get out of bed and face the empty streets
Throw back your meds, embrace the apathy
Lift up your head, only difference is your thinking
*You're thinking
But I won't just give up on myself tonight
I've spent way too long just avoiding the fight
I won't burn my bridges just to prove that I was right
I won't just give up on myself tonight
At first it seemed like a bad dream but I'm sure now I'm awake
Cause this whole situation is becoming more believable each day
And I'll never be a doctor so I know I can't fix you
Just a dumb kid pretending I'm stronger than I seem just to make it through
When all I want is a place that I can go
To be someone, let the record show
Though I was wrong I never said that I was perfect
I'm not perfect
