You'll probably see this in the headlines And let me tell you, almost all of it's true But we both know that I'm dead right And I don't know what else you want me to do I've been saying this a long time Not a lot of people hear what I say So when you see it in the headlines Maybe then you'll see it's always this way They'll try to twist and turn and try to drown me out But that won't change my mind If I'm honest, I'm not afraid to die Not afraid to live, not afraid to try If I'm honest, you couldn't change my mind Couldn't break me down So don't waste your time If I'm honest, I'll-I'll be alright You can put me in the spotlight And the world will try to pull me one way But it's gonna be a long night I've been around the block and I know this game I won't wait until it feels right Cause the truth is something long overdue You could put me in the spotlight Maybe then my words would finally break through They'll try to twist and turn and try to drown me out But that won't change my mind If I'm honest, I'm not afraid to die Not afraid to live, not afraid to try If I'm honest, you couldn't change my mind Couldn't break me down So don't waste your time If I'm honest, I'll-I'll be alright They'll try to twist and turn and try to drown me out But that won't change my mind If I'm honest, I'm not afraid to die Not afraid to live, not afraid to try If I'm honest, you couldn't change my mind Couldn't break me down So don't waste your time If I'm honest, I'll-I'll be alright I'll-I'll be alright

It's not my suffering It's not my wound to cover I'm dying watching you bleed Why can't I make this better Face down, I need some water There's nothing I can do To make you stronger How long will we pray to silence? How long? How long will we pray to silence? How long? Don't give up, I've heard you say Over and over from an open grave Eviscerated by your misery I watched you rot inside an open grave You're blade between my ribs It never lets me forget Fight with every breath To keep the anger in Ripped out Slave of compassion Stitch by stitch You just let it happen How long will we pray to silence? How long? Don't give up, I've heard you say Over and over from an open grave Eviscerated by your misery I watched you rot inside an open grave It's not my suffering It's not my wound to cover I'm dying watching you bleed Why can't I make this better Ripped out Slave of compassion Stitch by stitch You just let it happen Don't give up, I've heard you say Over and over from an open grave Eviscerated by your misery I watched you rot inside an open grave Eviscerated by your misery I watched you rot inside an open grave

Some days I like the ocean It never seems to end So help me through the motions Until I see you again Come be by my side Fix this lonely night You may be far away But you're never far from home No matter where I go You may be far away But you're never far from home No, you're never far from home When my voice is shaking You are my steady hand When I think I can't go on You showed me that I can Some times I forget That you ever left You may be far away But you're never far from home No matter where I go You may be far away But you're never far from home No matter where I go You may be far away But you're never far from home No, you're never far from home Mom said I'm just like you Little things you used to do I like to think the same Running from memories Lessons you left with me You teach me everyday You may be far away But you're never far from home No matter where I go You may be far away But you're never far from home No, you're never far from home You may be far away But you're never far from home No matter where I go You may be far away But you're never far from home No, you're never far from home

It's okay to have a bad year As long as we don't let it win It's okay if you don't see clear As long as you remember that Every day that I'm with you Is another chance to get it right I can say that I love you Even when we fight Cause... First times don't last But they light the path right back to you Right back to you Bad days will pass Cause they're on the path right back to you Right back to you It took time for me to hear you Cause all I wanted was to say I'm right And it took time for me to see through Every way that you could say goodbye And I don't think there was another way For me to understand And I'm sorry that I took so long And now will you take my hand Because... First times don't last But they light the path right back to you Right back to you Bad days will pass Cause they're on the path right back to you Right back to you The first time you left I just had to wait I knew you'd come back Cause you just felt like fate You just felt like fate First times don't last But they light the path right back to you Right back to you Bad days will pass Cause they're on the path right back to you Right back to you Right back to you

You can zone me shut Or cut out my tongue But you can't unhear me now Neck deep in concrete You can bury me But you'll never drown me out Something they can't see See how you fear me I'm never sorry! Scream Repeat after me I'm never sorry, I'm never sorry Scream Repeat after me I'm never sorry, I'm never sorry I will trip that line I'll be crucified You can hang me upside down In your righteous purge I will re-emerge Still I turn this world around Something they can't see See how you fear me I'm never sorry!

Three thirty in the morning Not a soul in sight The city's looking like a ghost town On a moonless summer night Raindrops on the windshield There's a storm moving in He's heading back from somewhere That he never should have been And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls Every light is burning In a house across town She's pacing by the telephone In her faded flannel gown Asking for miracle Hoping she's not right Praying it's the weather That's kept him out all night And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls The thunder rolls And the lightning strikes Another love grows cold On a sleepless night As the storm blows on Out of control Deep in her heart The thunder rolls She's waiting by the window When he pulls into the drive She rushes out to hold him Thankful he's alive But on the wind and rain A strange new perfume blows And the lightning flashes in her eyes And he knows that she knows And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls The thunder rolls And the lightning strikes Another love grows cold On a sleepless night As the storm blows on Out of control Deep in her heart The thunder rolls She runs back down the hallway To the bedroom door She reaches for the pistol Kept in the dresser drawer Tells the lady in the mirror He won't do this again Because tonight will be the last time She'll wonder where he's been
