God blessed is a man of conviction
Well I donÂ't think itÂ's enough to convict him
Should he stand by the side of the victim?
And strength enough to forgive him
Hopefully nobody saw him
Hopefully nobody saw him
Needs for survive by the ending
Is a sentencing for defending?

The bastard pasted out in his breathing
Pour salt in the wounds where needed
And the blood from the cut that is sealing
And you gasp in the air were youÂ're breathing
Hopefully nobody saw him
Hopefully nobody saw him
Needs for survive by the ending
Is a sentencing for defending?

Our hero is gone


. . .



All poison and thrills,
A head full of pills
Waiting around
Nails cut too quick
You broke what you fixed
YouÂ're so underground

What youÂ're waiting for
What youÂ're waiting for
Said and done
But itÂ's too late to turn your age around
SheÂ's not the one you want

One settles the score
A trip to the floor
Look what weÂ've found
Makes sense of the scene
We keep a routine
Standing on sound

What youÂ're waiting for
What youÂ're waiting for
Said and done
But itÂ's too late to turn your age around
SheÂ's not the one you want
Yea, itÂ's too late to turn your age around
SheÂ's not the one you want

How do you do it?
Your backs against the wall
How do you rule it?
All these promises, promises
Nothing else

What youÂ're waiting for
What youÂ're waiting for
Said and done
But itÂ's too late to turn your age around
SheÂ's not the one you want
Yea, itÂ's too late to turn your age around
SheÂ's not the one you want

So tell me something that I didnÂ't know


. . .



IÂ'll never love anyone else
ThatÂ's a promise you made to yourself
ThereÂ's a box with a ring on the shelf
And itÂ's tarnished

The burden of liars and thieves
Is the package you've brought overseas
No matter if you beg and plead
This is over

Ohhhhhhhhhh
ThatÂ's just the way we go
No matter how the dice didn't roll
YouÂ'll never be alone

Promise of our commitment
The bottle won't help you forget this
And I swear, as god is my witness
This is sorry

Ohhhhhhhhhh
ThatÂ's just the way we go
No matter how the dice is thrown
YouÂ'll never be alone

One more thing
Is there anything that he did?
Was the reason you ruined this
YouÂ'll never be alone


. . .



Rows of houses on forever
What the neighbors never know
When the hammer fell
The cattle whistle yells
All good sinners go to hell
The serpent turns on to himself

Did it occur to you too?
What was the worse you could do?
WouldnÂ't believe it
WouldnÂ't believe it
I donÂ't believe it too
Never occurred to you too
WouldnÂ't believe it
WouldnÂ't believe it
I donÂ't believe it too

Can you really keep a secret?
Cross your heart and hope to die
Maybe an evil one
The mind is all but gone
Trespass fits you like a charm
A scarlet letter on your arm

Did it occur to you too?
What was the worse you could do?
WouldnÂ't believe it
WouldnÂ't believe it
I donÂ't believe it too
Never occurred to you too
WouldnÂ't believe it
WouldnÂ't believe it
I donÂ't believe it too

Homes are for the taken
IÂ'm telling you the truth
Strange choices youÂ've been making
They will be coming back to you

Did it occur to you too?
What was the worse you could do?
WouldnÂ't believe it
WouldnÂ't believe it
I donÂ't believe it too
Never occurred to you too
WouldnÂ't believe it
WouldnÂ't believe it
I donÂ't believe it too

Answer me, will you be received


. . .



Road map is a bitter pill
Scene stinks of a double deal
A good front like the devil will
Your eyes on the prize
Come clean like you said you would
Make peace like i know you could
Hero's don't do any good
With tears in their eyes

Fight the good fight
Maintain the trend
Just look me in the eyes and say
The world's not gonna end

Get stuck in your master plan
Place bets on an empty hand
Empire has a leg to stand
Holy roman style
A poison from a holy grail
Blind faith doesn't make a sale
Land mind on a righeous trail
March rank and file

Unpatriotic
Friend stabbing friend
You'll look me in the eyes
And say the worlds not gonna end
Just look me in the eyes
And say the worlds not gonna end

Will you save us?
Will you save us?


. . .



Just to get by
and try to stay high
its a good life,end of discussion
and the hours like sand the holes in my hand
im a good soul martyr me

and im wastin my life
its passin me by
its a good fight
throw in the towel

and the hours i spend arent enough to pay rent
im just sinking water deep

but if all i have defeat

tonight if your awake at all
tonight if your awake..
tonight if your awake at all
tonight if your awake..

case of my crime,and lack of my time
its a road block,need a catharsist
the patience is spent
a virtue i sent to the basement
far from me

the less that i spend on the mess that im in
i could be used on something of value
the time on my side isnt anything ive ever needed

cant you see..but if all i have defeat

tonight if your awake at all
tonight if your awake..
tonight if your awake at all
tonight if your awake..

every unsuspecting scene
when were supposed to make believe
the wind not tearin at the seams
we hang on..we hang on,we hang on

tonight if your awake at all
tonight if your awake..
tonight if your awake at all
tonight if your awake..

tonight if your awake at all
tonight if your awake..
tonight if your awake at all
tonight if your awake..


. . .



You keep hanging on for more
Building walls around the words around the world
I keep tripping over hints
I keep spilling every secret
Without spilling any secrets at all

Don't you know?
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?

Did the issue go this far?
Did you set this higher standard for yourself?
I know it's not a fault
Though I really have to wonder
If you'd ever set the standard without help

Don't you know?
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?

Made up
You win
I'm lost
Give in
To each
Their own
With all their sins

You keep hanging on for more
Building walls around the words around the world

Don't you know?
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
This small town takes every ounce to build its smoke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?

Baby Deleilah
Sick in her skin
Out on the highway livin for nothing
It's the same old song again
And since she defends
On the moon and on forever she said
You should still be here

Hooks in her toungue
Escape if you can
Clear out the room
I'll open the window
I'll fly in
Blood on the table
She made up her mind
All of the times we had were for nothing
But I'd shine

It's overwhelming
And since she defends
On and on forever she says
It's all over now
It's all over now
It's all over now
It's all over now.

On and on and on forever, she says


. . .



Every afternooon
A point I hammer home
You had no follow through, no follow through
Better off alone

Waiting patiently
Stranded in your sea

Singing time in tune
Where the action is
Need the stars and moon, stars and moon
Wanted more than this

Waiting patiently
Stranded in your sea

Cause I'm waiting for you
And all you can do
So little to prove
Time is the task of trust
The best of us
For hours, for hours

Every afternooon
A point I hammer home
I had no time for you, time for you
You're better off alone

Waiting patiently
Stranded in your sea

Cause I'm waiting for you
And all you can do
So little to prove nobody knew
Must have been you
Didn't it prove
But somebody I'll wait for you
You'll wait for me
For hours, for hours


. . .



Wait and fight
You never threatened to stop breathing countless times
When it wouldn't make a sound
Baby eyes
The whole thing is a fading senseless blur
Concern
But I'm letting go of her

I don't know why it is
Isn't it obvious to me?
Sympathy
I'm sure that after this
You can feel anything at all
Resembling

All her might
Was it the force behind the family bound in time
Keep the bottle down
To our surprise
The suspect you had discipline or nerve to convert
I just didnt think it would

For what we give to this
Challeneges persist
Battles we must fight
For what we give to this
Promise to resist
I stand with all your might


. . .



Never thought anything less forever
Hanging on every word
Hold the cards in tight
But your killing me with sincerity
And I'd make any move tonight

Redemption is a bitch
Too end on

The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul

All my training beget a traitor
A monster with a mind of it's own
The beast is poised to strike
The bastard plays on these insecurities
Takes all my will to fight

Redemption is a bitch
Too end on

The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
Oh well,You know what they say
Suddenly everything's
Suddenly everytihng's real

The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
(oh well, You know what they say
Suddenly everything's
Suddenly everytihng's real)
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
(The bastard plays on these insecurities
Takes all my will fight)
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
(Oh well,You know what they say
Suddenly everything's
Suddenly everytihng's real)
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul

If ever im wrong, whatever i do
if anyone asks, i will be hiding from you
if ever i speak, put words in my mouth
its only speech and sound

is there a way out?
i've got this blood on my hands
and if theres some safe ground
im all for it

if ever untrue, then how would you know?
what would you do, where would you go?
if ever i lied, what would it be
if i were to die because you discovered me

is there a way out?
i've got this blood on my hands
and if theres some safe ground
im all for it

is there a way out?
i've got this blood on my hands
and if theres some safe ground
im all for it..


. . .



Of all of the space in this small world
There's room in my life for you, girl
Though we had a lot of words to say
Didn't think we'd need to have another damn conversation about it

Question the words for years now
I'm finding my sense and my know how
Though I'm learning that I was wrong
Didn't think we'd need to have another damn conversation about it [x3]
