You're not god! There's nothing left that you can give back There's nothing left to gain Surrounded by choices that you don't have Throw the book or turn the page Safe is just a shadow that circumstances change (turn the page) To hide the world around us from the fate we can't escape Run away So give it up, give it in Give me something to die for Hands down, this is goodbye Show them all what it means to just let go I'll be there by your side Will we sink or swim this time I know there's nothing left in my body to give you Before we fall, let's roll the dice This is not goodnight, no This is goodbye Danger in the shadows where it all began To hide the world around us from the candlelight within So give it up, give it in Give me something to die for Hands down, this is goodbye Show them all what it means to just let go I'll be there by your side It won't do to just let em' bleed Let's give em' something that leaves a scar Something that means we are never falling to our knees And if they only want your heart Let them be easily amused until the right arrives at the jaw You burned your last bridge tonight This isn't goodnight This is goodbye Oh god, this is not goodnight this is goodbye So give it up, give it in Give me something to die for Hands down, this is goodbye Show them all what it means to just let go I'll be there by your side It won't do to just let em' bleed Let's give em' something that leaves a scar Something that means we are never falling to our knees This is not goodnight This is goodbye (Run away) This is not goodnight This is goodbye

I've cried out the lies you spit back to me (back to me) I've been stabbed in the throat There's no room to breathe Try to scream Ten years of bleeding out And in seconds you destroy me? Have you learned your lesson now And was it worth what I paid for I've lost it all, my dearest vision I'll take what is left and become what was meant to be I've lost it all You ripped the past apart I'll have to find a way To rebuild history and what you took from me But I'd die before I could give up on me 'Cause I can't erase dreams so easily I have tried You've clawed your way out and the consequence is You've learned to live with doubt I hope it haunts you forever I've lost it all, my dearest vision I'll take what is left and become what was meant to be I've lost it all You ripped the past apart I'll have to find a way Again I'll find my will And I'll take back what's mine A new found strength will take the throne tonight I've lost it all (but I will find a way) Watch as you fall (to leave you behind me) I've lost it all (I'll take this chance alone) I'll have to find a way I'll find a way To leave you behind me I've lost it all (but I will find a way) I'll take what is left and become what was meant to be I've lost it all You ripped the past apart And I'll find my way

Misdirected with no one to follow My eyes are burning to believe We'll raise the stakes and take the chance that there's no tomorrow My eyes are burning to believe But I don't need eyes to see you And through the flames this tastes like denial All aboard the sinking ship now I choose to jump though the shoreline is miles away I'm not afraid And maybe I bought the stories But there's something that screams There's darkness beneath And I've got my reason to believe You can run but I've found you before You want this life? Then I'll give you something to die for You sacrificed our name to get fucked God help you You gave us the dirt to bury you alive And maybe I bought the stories But there's something that screams There's darkness beneath And I've got my reason to believe That you know that I know That you're all for show There's still something that screams to leave My eyes are burning to believe You think you can take me? I'll give you one chance to bail out Or stand tall Let's redefine playing for keeps Take us? Have you learned nothing from this? You can't take us Our will is stronger than greed Take us? You can't take us And this will is all we need And maybe I bought the stories But there's something that screams There's darkness beneath And I've got my reason to believe That you know that I know That you're all for show There's still something that screams to leave My eyes are burning to believe You brought yourself this misery My eyes are burning to believe You can't deny the feeling No loss of love, just bleeding

You can't help yourself ( Can't help yourself ) Drawn like a child to a hand grenade Swinging the shiny rings with a smile and no clue what a mess you've made Tell me what it's like Having everything at once Before I show you what it's like to lose control You're gonna cry for me to stop But I'll decide when you've had enough You wanna die? Well that's fucking tough You'll have to wait until I'm done with you As if anything I could say could save us We're not worth the makeup that runs away from your eyes You can't help yourself ( Can't help yourself ) You gotta stick your hands into everything You better watch those fingers girl Fate's got a way with a razor blade Tell me what it's like When there's nothing left to give Because you've spent your life searching for yourself You're gonna scream that you're stuck You're gonna blame it all on luck You're gonna change? The jig is up so now you answer for what you've done (For what you've done) Cause I've got a long list of questions And you've got a whole lot of lying to do to cover up your confusion at the time (Just say you're done) Cause you can be quite convincing when you want to be Fall to your knees Lie to me, lie to me I beg of you, I beg of you In a fashion that bleeds sincerity Just well versed enough for me to believe So I can tell you what it's like When there's nothing you can do As if anything that I could say could save us We're not worth the make up that runs away from your eyes As if anything that I could say could save us We're not worth the make up that runs away from your eyes

If they mean nothing let them go I can't remember what it feels like on my own I say nothing to prove they have capacity to Love anything but themselves But I believe in dinosaurs because I've seen their bones Keep digging for the skulls of good intentions and a selfless corpse That reeks of honest efforts to make things work Lost forever are our former selves Can you show me proof they ever lived? Or are they tainted memories of a wishful mind That's looking for a reason to forgive If they mean nothing let them go Are those hands around the shoulders or the throat? Or maybe a bit of both? Try not to cringe at the applause of the opposition You're twice the fool and half the liar And they're on to you I say nothing to prove they have capacity to Love anything but themselves Lost forever are our former selves Can you show me proof they ever lived? Or are they tainted memories of a wishful mind That's looking for a reason to forgive And I keep digging, a search for peace It's just a shell with nothing underneath But I believe in dinosaurs because I've seen their bones (And I keep digging, a search for peace) So maybe buried evidence will tell me what I've always known (It's just a shell with nothing underneath) If they mean nothing let them go Between the good and bad I'm stuck with what I know Lost forever are our former selves Can you show me proof they ever lived? Or are they tainted memories of a wishful mind That's looking for a reason to forgive

Well I think you took your chances You gotta take the consequences And you'll never know (you'll never know) I'm holding on Let go Cause I'm not so sure You look so good And I've seen this all before And this could be real Even if it is It's not enough, it's not enough And it's never gonna be Between the lies and love I'll rise above And I'll find a way to leave Now it's inside of us, inside of us It's the price of being free And it's the price I was willing to pay If that's all it takes And if it won't make any difference I'm gonna make my peace with silence And if it takes a toll It takes it's toll You'll never know That I'm not so sure You can't stand still And I've seen this all before If this is real I can't take it even if it is Even if it is It's not enough, it's not enough And it's never gonna be Between the lies and love I'll rise above And I'll find a way to leave Now it's inside of us, inside of us It's the price of being free And it's the price I was willing to pay If that's all it takes Because it's not enough A thousand words Can't paint you a picture of what you deserve Cause this is something I can't live for And this is one thing I can say That I know the way down Is the way out for me We'll find a way To throw away what we had today I'd kill myself just to find a way Cause I know the way down Is the way out for me (we'll find a way) It's not enough, it's not enough And it's never gonna be Between the lies and love I'll rise above And I'll find a way to leave (we'll find a way) Now it's inside of us, inside of us It's the price of being free And it's the price I was willing to pay If that's all it takes

Dark clouds, tie down the sails Brace yourself for the waves It's all lost, fight for yourselves There's no one left to save And I can't find the words to tell you that I failed We could have beat the distance but the time prevailed And our breath's the only thing to hold on to, hold onto The memories of shore And the red sky that warned you Of the lightning igniting the sky This ship is going down Nowhere to run (nowhere to run) And the worst is yet to come And I'm not through yet but I'm running out of plans Not for nothing but you left this all in my hands And where there are lies there are shadows of truth And if I told you that we'd be alright I know you'd see the Dark clouds, tie down the sails Brace yourself for the waves It's all lost The memories of shore And the red sky that warned you Of the lightning igniting the sky This ship is going down Nowhere to run (nowhere to run) And the worst is yet to come Night can come at any time but morning only once When the stars are too far to follow you'll know to remember tomorrow's Red sky warning Red sky warning Make up your mind Trust me and dive into the cold I'll wait for rescue On your own While I try desperately to float And as the water rises you can doubt your choices There are voices in your head Drowning the sense that drives you senseless The end is coming The memories of shore And the red sky that warned you Of the lightning igniting the sky This ship is going down Nowhere to run (nowhere to run) And the worst is yet to come The memories of shore (dark clouds) And the red sky that warned you (tie down the sails) Of the lightning igniting the sky (brace yourself for the waves) This ship is going down Nowhere to run And the worst is yet to come (There's no one left to save)

There was a time, it seemed so long ago The world was painted gold Before the hope began to corrode And all the people awoke to the cold That they had let the evil grow And then came the masses Who questioned the presence of god Can anyone hear us? These cries, these screams, will these footsteps be our last? So they let us die The hate behind the smiles, it took them by surprise (Took them by surprise) And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July If ignorance is peace pretend we didn't say "never again" (Never again) And let forever belong to the dead The time is now This chance could be your soul redemption Or these tombs will bear your denial, deception, and tragedy One that you'll help build when you let us burn Biting off your nails won't heal the scratches on your eyes So they let us die The hate behind the smiles, it took them by surprise (Took them by surprise) And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July If ignorance is peace pretend we didn't say "never again" (Never again) And let forever belong to the dead And there is no excuse There is no lie big enough to hide behind (Our time is now) The blinding lights struck the people divided What were they waiting for? (Our time is now) So they let us die The hate behind the smiles, it took them by surprise (Took them by surprise) And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July If ignorance is peace pretend we didn't say "never again" (Never again) And let forever belong to the dead Our time is now

Well, how can this happen? Am I dreaming again? Her body's not moving, I'm assuming she's dead This isn't a fucking game There's somebody's life at stake She's covered in bruises But the truth is that I never committed the crime 'Cause I know I could never hurt a fly "Then how'd she lose her life?" "You're in denial" Time to burn and dig The whites of my eyes I wanna tell you But what went on that night? "Listen closely as I tell you I'm not who I seem I'm gonna touch you 'cause I like it when you scream I want to watch you when you're sleeping and thinking of me" And that's what he told her as he killed her That son of a bitch took away my girl He's gonna pay for it right now 'Cause you might think you're in love And he might promise you the world Don't believe what he says He's not real This is it My God, take it I'm coming to find you This is your last chance (Blinding) I'll be out in six months With his address and a shotgun And a promise for justice that night (Alright) And I'll be standing at the crime So they can throw me back in prison for my life If they could bring you back to me Last night I dreamed we had a future and you were alive It was springtime on our wedding day, there were birds in the sky The sun was glowing, it was beautiful and everyone was there I still can't believe that you're gone, I'm so lost I'm sorry (I'm sorry) Don't go Oh, please God, no 'Cause you might think you're in love And he might promise you the world Don't believe what he says He's not real He's just a murderer Come on, don't I think that I've had enough He says, "You're too late I've got a hole to dig and you think that I've over-reacted? She was (Come here) just so cute I can't resist 'cause I'm a sucker for promiscuous action" So tell me, just tell me Say it for you 'Cause you might think you're in love And he might promise you the world Don't believe what he says He's not real, he's a murderer 'Cause you'll be lyin' awake (Lying awake) From this nightmare you feel betrayed I gave my life and you took it away Am I dead? Or am I just breathin'? 'Cause you've stolen the one that I like So you'll be sleepin' with the fishes tonight (Woah, alright) (Woah, alright) Sleepin' with the fishes tonight (Oh, yeah) Now listen I'm not religious, but I've learned to pray for her I'm not a violent man, but people can change So while you're sleeping I'll slit your throat and drain your blood And mail it to your mother She'll discover what a mess you've become I think she might like that, I fucking do 'Cause you might think you're in love And he might promise you the world Don't believe what he says He's not real, he's a murderer 'Cause you'll been lyin' awake (Lying awake) From this nightmare, you feel betrayed I gave my life and you took it away There's not a day that goes by But you took it away But you took it away

Taking everything as a sign of the divine Or of a purpose that you're never going to find In every second you can find a tragedy Coincidence can be dismissed as meant to be And you'll have what's left Anyone's guess is better than a quest for meaning or enlightenment That never ends Making promises changes honest men into shadows chasing lies When it's all just a game of faking love to hold your place From side to side, face to face Not getting by without a taste In every second you can find a tragedy Coincidence can be dismissed as meant to be Something cold is grabbing for my chest Something cold is grabbing for my chest Something cold is grabbing for my chest Something cold is grabbing for my chest And it's not letting go And I'll never know If it's the doubt or the faith or the love Or the hate or the fear that it's all for show In every second you can find a tragedy Coincidence can be dismissed as meant to be Something cold is grabbing for my chest Something cold is grabbing for my chest
