Zebrahead Album

Brace yourself kid for the final collapse
Cuz the world is spinning fast
coming off its axis
Fight to survive, ode lay essay
And the kids with the guns shout
"Out of my way!"
Sex and violence are here to stay
Broadcast to the world
Out of control
Ready to fold
Broadcast to the world
Out of control
I want to have it all and I want it right now
I want to have it all and I want it now

[Chorus:]
So here we go reload
Another round implode
We're spinning now until our heads explode
And so I guess we know how far we all can go
We're on a mission to destroy the world we know

The saints and the sinners
have identity crises.
that spread like a virus
multiplies and lysis
Down to the bottom
Looted graves they turn
Eat the razorblade apple
Open a can of worms
Narcotics on the weekends
As the city it burns

Broadcast to the world
Out of control
Broadcast to the world
Ready to fold
Broadcast to the world
Out of control
I want to have it all and I want it right now
I want to have it all and I want it now

[Chorus]

You know we all are to blame
Broadcast to the world
Final collapse is on
Heaven and Hell collided

Broadcast to the world
Final collapse is on
We stand divided

Hit Me, Hit Me, Hit Me
With all you got
Just a superficial girl
who cares a lot
About attentions that you get
They connect the dots
To form a target on your back
Take your best shot
Who loves you?
Who needs you?
The paint's peeling off the wall
That's it, that's all.
Who loves you?
Who needs you?
The itch makes your skin crawl
That's it, that's all.

That's it
That's all
Head to the wall
Head to the wall

[Chorus:]
Life's staring you, breaking through
Hold on tight to the radio
It's sad but true
Coming to the end of your life starring you
Breaking through
Hold on tight to the radio
It's sad but true
Coming to the end of near you

Give me. Give me. Give me
Got no heart to rot
When the scars and insecurities,
they hit the spot
And the acceptance that you crave
Is all for not
Left a crosshair on your head
Take your best shot

Who loves you?
Who needs you?
Always waiting for a call
That's it, that's all
Who loves you? Who needs you?
Sets you up for a fall
That's it, that's all
Head to the wall
Head to the wall.

I got a girlfriend
Only she don't know it yet
I got a six string best friend
Who sleeps with a broken neck
I want to make my mark
change the world, with this flow
But, all this doubt in my head
It won't let me go

Can't you see I want to lock my door and shut out all the world surrounding me
Safe from the problems and the pressures caused by insecurities

Get up! Get up!
Let the good times roll!
Get up! Get up!
Take my heart and my soul!
Get up! Get up!
Let the good times roll
On and on and on..

Feel like everyone else just needs to see through different eyes
From the outside looking in we shout the anthem of our lives
Come on and let me go
and just like everyone else
I feel the pain each time I try
But I'll fight the bitter end
to shout the anthem
the anthem of our lives

I got a heartache
She's my insecurity
I got all these on my tongue but they escape me
I want to breakout, Carpe Diem,
I know, but all this doubt in my head It won't let me go

Can't you see I want to find my own direction on this busy one-way street
Where all the influential people never bother helping me

Get up Get up!
Let the good times roll
Get up Get up!
Take my heart and my soul!
Get up! Get up!
Let the good times roll
One and on and on..

Feel like everyone else just needs to see through different eyes
From the outside looking in we shout the anthem of our lives
Come on and let me go
and just like everyone else
I feel the pain each time I try
But I'll fight the bitter end
to shout the anthem
the anthem of our lives

This is the Anthem
Out to all the misfits
If you feel you don't belong
If you don't give a shit
About authority
About majority
About conformity
Shout it out
Let us go! [x7]

Everyone else just needs to see through different eyes
From the outside looking in
we shout the anthem of our lives
Just like everyone else
I feel the pain each time I try
But I'll fight the bitter end
to shout the anthem
the anthem of our lives

Feel like everyone else just needs to see through different eyes
From the outside looking in
We shout the anthem of our lives
Just like everyone else
I feel the pain each time I try
But I'll fight the bitter end
to shout the anthem

If I died. would you notice?
Would you even care?
Take everything that
you want from me
Strip me till you get your fill
spilled the pill to kill the pain
I cannot fight the you taking over me
Ride the tide wide and slide tight right inside my vein
Sign me up a 12'step recovery
Keep me high by and by
scream a lullaby to stay
I need a shot of something to set me free
Pound a round
drown your sound sleep
the day away
And it really don't take that much to bleed
It really don't take that much

[Chorus:]
She is my bad habit
feels like my own disease
Sleeping with the enemy
She is my bad habit
Consuming all of me
Sleeping with the enemy

So throw me on the wagon.
I'm going to break
Adore me more on the floor and
score the pain you inflict
I'm running out of my pills that I can take
Forsake my fake bellyache
I think I'm going to be sick
Anticipate the rush coming over me
Control my roll, stole my soul
and I took two to the head
I got to have what you keep giving to me

Call your bluff tuff enough and
I'm better off dead
It don't lake that much to bleed
It really don't take that much

[Chorus]

Taking over. infecting me
My veins are filled with her
She's slowly killing
Taking over, infecting me
My veins are filled with her
She's slowly killing me
It really don't lake that much to bleed
and She keeps my ring upon her finger and a knife up her sleeve
When her lips are always loaded and she's gunning for me
It really don't take that much!

I'm feeling lost,
I'm feeling like my heart's
been carved out with a spoon
put on display for all to witness this decay of me and you

Awaking and taking the cycle of breaking up
to a whole new level
Shaking and faking like you're making a hard choice not to settle
Imbedded, I'm think headed
I shredded all the letters you sent
Don't get it. why'd you let it get this far
lights out lights out Pass the herb
lights out lights out kiss the curb
lights out lights out your heart has turned
Who's going to save me every time I crash and Burn
and I crash and burn

I'm sick of endings
I'm done pretending
I just want you back to normal
I think you don't know just how you feel
And every time you think of me
Remember how things used to be not long ago

Whoa-oh

Ill fated,I skated,
to the party faded,and I saw you there
I waited, hated, getting ignored
you stated you didn't care
Flashes of car crashed and
your ashes burning the cement
The curtain fails, last call, credits roll
we have reached the end

lights out lights out Pass the herb
lights out lights out kiss the curb
lights out lights out your heart has turned
Who's going to save you every time you crash and Burn
crash and burn

I'm sick of endings
I'm done pretending
I just want you back to normal
I think you don't know just how you feel
And every time you think of me
Remember how things used to be not long ago

Sick of endings
I'm done pretending
Tired of fighting
I'm sick of always trying

I'm feeling lost,
I'm feeling like my heart's
been carved out with a spoon
put on display for all to witness this decay of me and you
I just want you back to normal
I think you don't know just how you feel
And every time you think of me
Remember how things used to be not long ago

Who-ah

lights out lights out Pass the herb
lights out lights out kiss the curb
lights out lights out your heart has turned
Who's going to save me every time I crash and Burn
I crash and burn

I didn't see the signs posted on the road
Dead end gives way to the cliff that soars
And I lose control your face still looks bored
One, two, fuck you!
I won't change for you

Wrong way
This time it's going down
You say I'm immature
to hang around
Okay
Face-plant to the ground
I won't change for you
I won't change for you

Tonight I wash my hands of you
You set the bar I could not live up to
Tonight the light in breaking through
So thank you very little and send me postcards from hell

This relationship is over as we scrape the ledge
and you call me a loser falling over the edge
Like you're cutting all your losses
Like a bet you can hedge
One two, fuck you!
I won't change for you

A black eye
and my heart is ripped out of my chest
Crucified
For not passing any of your stupid tests
Good-bye
Right now I could care less

I won't change for you
I won't change for you

Tonight I wash my hands of you
You set the bar I could not live up to
Tonight the light in breaking through
So thank you very little and send me postcards from hell

We've come a long way
Don't look down!
Your heart is rotten
Your heart is rotten
Too bad it was the wrong way
Won't be long now
Till we hit the rock
Bottom

Tonight I wash my hands of you
You set the bar I could not live up to
Tonight the light in breaking through
So thank you very little and send me postcards from hell

Tonight I wash my hands of you
You set the bar I could not live up to
Tonight the light in breaking through

If this is it, then I've given all I can
The road that leads to nowhere has fallen in my hands
If this is it, then the needle has been found
The haystack is long gone
and the world's turned upside down

I see right through you
Everything you do
Leech on the side of me
Covert hostility-your negativity
Drains to get what you need
Your vampire logic
Turned out tragic
Lost your meal ticket to feed
Karma got to you
Ego ate through you
Nothing left to do but to bleed

Now out come the wolves
out come the wolves
out come the wolves
out come the wolves

Cave in, just surrender
You know you're already six-feet down
Cave in, just surrender
Cuz you have nowhere to go but down

Right now, it's over right now
Right now, it's over right now

Your friends
Call them yes men
Ain't always the best men
To trust in or to believe
The credit you were taking
Let's just call it faking
Is obvious, everyone can see
Got a good ride on our coat tails
Now it's time to set sail
and leave you tied up to the tree
Karma got to you
Ego ate through you
Nothing left to do but to bleed

Now out come the wolves
out come the wolves
out come the wolves
out come the wolves

Cave in, just surrender
You know you're already six-feet down
Cave in, just surrender
Cuz you have nowhere to go but down

Out come, out come the wolves [x4]
Come and get it
They can smell it
Fear is what controls you
If you let it
It will divot
Your entire soul through
They're on to you

Cave in, just surrender
You know you're already six-feet down
Cave in, just surrender
Cuz you have nowhere to go
Cave in, just surrender
You know you're already six-feet down
Cave in, just surrender
Cuz you have nowhere to go but down

Here she comes to ruin my day again
Right away she's start with shouting
Making this the best week ever
If only she could scream forever
Here she comes to pick at my faults again
Right away she's punching, kicking
Making this the best week ever
Better off dead than together

Stab your dagger right through my heart and twist
Does this turn you on?
Follow it up by punching my face with your fists
Does this turn you on?
Now on the ground, cut open both of my wrists
Does this turn you on?
Say you love me and suffocate me with a kiss
Whatever turns you on!

Here's to me calling off this war
Here's to me walking out that door
Here's to the only casualty
Here's to the mess that you made of me

Here she comes to ruin my perfect game
Doctor says she's borderline insane
I don't know what I like better
Being comatose or just being with her
Here she comes to point her fingers down at me
With all ten of her personalities
I don't know what I like better
Saying goodbye or saying that I hate her.

Stab your dagger right through my heart and twist
Does this turn you on?
Follow it up by punching my face with your fists
Does this turn you on?
Now on the ground, cut open both of my wrists
Does this turn you on?
Say you love me and suffocate me with a kiss
Whatever turns you on!
You always get to me

Here's to me calling off this war
Here's to me walking out that door
Here's to the only casualty
Here's to the mess that you made of me

You always get to me
Always get to you
Always do your worst to get the best of me

Me always pushing you
Always pushing me
Always manage to being the worst in you!

Here's to me calling off this war
Here's to me walking out that door
Here's to the only casualty

I want a wrecking ball
I want to break it all
I want to jump the track
Fade the day to black
It's in the elements
In the elements
Is what they meant
And the world is bent

Give me something to believe in
A drop of hope to raise our fists up high
Blood fills our lungs from screaming
We won't live a lie
won't live a lie
This life is but a dream!

[Chorus:]
So wake me up
Cause I must be dreaming
I can't believe what my eyes are seeing
Yeah wake me up
I can't find a meaning
Nothing really matters when
the world is sinking
Down, down. down
When it all falls
Down, down, down
Who will you blame?

I want to be what I'm not
I want to care a lot
I want to stop your fall
I want to take it all
It's never Heaven sent
Never heaven sent
And what they meant
never made a dent
Give me something to believe in
A drop of hope to raise our fists up high
Blood fills our lungs from screaming
We won't live a lie
won't live a lie
This life is but a dream.

[Chorus]

Trust is breached
We're misunderstood
We try to find our way
But we're falling down
Nothing to hold on to
No one there to catch you
And I could never lie to you

I said we're fucking falling down
Nothing to hold to
No one there to catch you
And I know you'd never lie
Give us something to believe in
This life is not a dream!

You can lie to me and say it's you I adore
You can poison me and drown me on the shore
You can kick me again when I'm down on the floor
Give me some more
Give me some more
You say I'm desperate and if I'm desperate
At least I'm honest
At least I own it
And if I'm desperate
Reap what you sow
Give me some more!
Give me some more!

She said, thanks for my misery
Then I said, Hell needed company,
and maybe a new lobotomy would
make easier to throw it all away
She said, "I wish you were dead"

Left me out in the gutter
to settle a score
Poured salt on my wounds
when my stitches tore
And now I'm giving it back
cause payback's a whore
I'm slamming the door
I'm slamming the door
Cuz now I'm over
And since I'm over it
Ill be honest
I think you're heartless
I think you need this
Reap what you sow
I'm slamming the door!
I'm slamming the door!

She said, thanks for my misery
Then I said, Hell needed company,
and maybe a new lobotomy would
make easier to throw it all away
She said, "I wish you were dead"

You can lie to me and say it's you I adore
You can poison me and drown me on the shore
You can kick me again when I'm down on the floor
Give me some more
Give me some more
Left me out in the gutter
to settle a score
Poured salt on my wounds
when my stitches tore
And now I'm giving it back
cause payback's a whore
I'm slamming the door
I'm slamming the door

She said, thanks for my misery
Then I said, Hell needed company,
and maybe a new lobotomy would
make easier to throw it all away

I'd rather be dead than to live like this
Than to just exist a hand and no fist
See the walking dead around me
Waking up and breaking down before my eyes
Rather be dead, rather shoot and miss
Rather die for a kiss than to live like this

Hear the walking dead surround me
Giving in and giving up because

[Chorus:]
We're all doing fine
And we're falling fast behind
I don't think we'll be the same again
We're losing our minds
We're all doing fine
Is there anyplace to hide?
I don't think we'll be the same again
We're losing
We're losing our minds

We walk tonight

I'd rather be dead than to have no hope inside
Watch my will bleed away and my soul divide
Feel the walking dead around me
Getting closer moving farther from the light

I'd rather be dead, stay alive to find
Somewhere I belong, someone to call mine
See the walking dead surround me
See the life and see the death and now

[Chorus]

Reach out
I never get it
It's just out of reach and
I watch it slipping away
Reach out
Just forget it
It's never good enough
It's never going to be the same

And so I'm bruised and beaten
Wake up from the floor that I've
been sleeping
Next to the radio you broke
Yea the hits just keep on coming

Summer skies alibi December lies
Nothing like a party to get you drunk and make you start a fight
I see the DJ look away
when you say you went home
The turntables turn the tables
You confess you weren't alone
And it just hit me

[Chorus:]
That's all my mistakes
Could never add up to the only one
that you just made
And all my headaches
Will never compare to the biggest one that you just gave

So I'm broken, bleeding
From this mouth you said
was no use keeping
And it's not so good so far
Your lipstick stains my neck
and gives me a new scar

Summer skies alibi December lies
Nothing like a party to get you drunk and make you start a fight
I see the DJ look away
when you say you went home
The turntables turn the tables
You confess you weren't alone
And it just hit me

[Chorus]

All my bruises are all I have to show
And all along I had nowhere else to go
Like your dagger stuck inside I'm stuck
Stuck inside some makeshift reality
where you meant the world to me
But finally getting free
and it just hit me

Here she comes, T-minus 3
Watch your back
Walk around the debris
Light the fuse
and if you're ready come on

She's my riot girl
She's my riot girl

Is it something that she might've just missed
Is it something that she can hit with her fists?
Light the fuse
and if you're ready come on
She's my riot girl

She's no steppingstone
She'll cut you to the bone
You're better off alone
When she's on, she's on!

Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She's been bruised and bled
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She says love is dead
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's hanging on by a thread
Take your crimes in stride and commit

There she goes smoking TNT
Down the hatch
Call the LAPD
Either way, she wants to riot come on
She's my riot girl
She's my riot girl
Give her something and she'll try to resist
Give her something she'll just swing with her fists
Either way, she wants to riot come on

She's my riot girl
She's my riot girl
She's no steppingstone
She'll cut you to the bone
You're better off alone
When she's on
She's on!

Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She's been bruised and bled
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She says love is dead
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's hanging on by a thread
Take your crimes in stride and commit

She's standing on the front line
Says she wants to light the fuse
Says that this is my life
It should be my right to choose
She's standing on the front line
Says she wants to light the fuse
Says that this is my life
It should be my right to choose
She only wants to burn it down
She wants to see them go , she don't need them
Send it right back into the ground
She says it a violent world, a violent world
leave you with all the bodies around
She's my riot girl
she's such a riot

She's no steppingstone
She'll cut you to the bone
You're better off alone
When she's on, she's on!

Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She's been bruised and bled
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She says love is dead
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
But she's seeing red
She's hanging on by a thread

Lick my wounds and I feel pain
Watch my future go down the drain
Made my ruin now I'm aimed at you
Bane of the butcher we are through

Love kills Love kills
Like the cyanide living in a jagged little pill
Love kills Love kills
It's not for the faking it's just for the thrill
Stop I hate it!
Don't stop! I need it!

Now I will never be the same
And so I will never be the one to blame
But if I go crashing down in flames
Just wave at me
I guarantee it's you I'm taking with me

Vanished truth I believed in you
Gave myself you bled me through
Crimes of youth grow better with age
In a living hell you're my war to wage

Love kills Love kills
Like a vendetta left breathing
so my guts will spill
Love kills Love kills
It's not for taking, it's just for the thrill
Stop I hate it!
Don't stop! I need it!

Now I will never be the same
And so I will never be the one to blame
But if I go crashing down in flames
Just wave at me
I guarantee it's you I'm taking with me

In a wasteland
So far away
I miss your bleeding heart
It's my last stand
I'd die to say
I miss your bleeding heart
In a wasteland
So far away
I miss your bleeding heart
It's my last stand
I'd die to say
I miss your bleeding heart

Devoid of any feeling Devoid of disagreeing
Devoid of what I'm seeing
Devoid you left me reeling
I break!
Stop I hate it!
Don't stop! I need it

Now I will never be the same
And so I will never be the one to blame
But if I go crashing down in flames
Just wave at me
I guarantee it's you I'm taking with me

Now I will never be the same
And so I will never be the one to blame
But if I go crashing down in flames
Just wave at me
