These games we play over and over Driving us insane If only there was a way it could be game over We could avoid a lot
I try to pull you to my side And you do the same Who’s dignity will survive? Who takes the walk of shame?
We push and we pull ’Til nothing’s left inside us So we can rule ’Til nothing’s left to rule
Of course you don’t show When asking for help We’re asking for hell Ask and receive, Bet
These games we play over and over They’re always driving us insane If only there was a way it could be game over We could avoid a lot, avoid a lot of pain
Leave it to the other side to find So I don’t have to change We’re comfortable where we hide Stayin’ out of range
We push and we pull ’Til all is left behind us So we can rule ’Til nothin’s left to rule
We ready ourselves For fatality We’re asking for hell Ask and receive, Bet
We’re “push and pull”-ing down, the drowning stage So you can wipe that smile off your face “Push and pull”-ing down
These games we play over and over They’re always driving us insane If only there was a way it could be game over We could avoid a lot of pain
Our only chance is some kind of miracle now Our only chance is picking up the pieces If only there was a way it could be game over We could avoid a lot, avoid a lot of pain
My dreams Where have you gone? It’s been so long Where have you gone?
Wake me from this nightmare in wake Whose thoughts are these I never even knew my mind could go this low Tell me that I’ll wake up it’ll be over Please tell me what’s wrong with me Not even the doc knows
I feel so lost, feel all alone, nowhere to turn No one else can fix me gotta’ solve this on my own If I wanna get out alive it’s gotta be now
The dark is coming for me The night is waking a monster inside me that’s tearing me apart at the seams I’ll sew the hole where it left to stop the bleeding Escaped a nightmare in wake and now I’m back in my dreams
Wake me from this nightmare in wake Inhale Exhale I need to make my mind unwind and let it breathe Find another space where these ghosts can leave
In comes the meditation out with all the medication I feel so lost, feel all alone, nowhere to turn No one else can fix me gotta’ solve this on my own Time to make my mind up if I want to get out alive Time is now to try or die so stop knocking down death’s door
I gotta’ escape this I gotta’ escape this
Wake up from this nightmare in wake
Where have you gone? It’s been so long When said and done It’s undone
The first time I laid my eyes on her I thought damn do I want it Now that I’ve got it Oh no
She knew exactly what cards to play to make me want her even more Now that I’ve got it Oh no
Everyone else around me said run as fast as you can Didn’t hear a word past sex but the next thing I knew she was
Pounding my door down in the rain screaming my name She’s gonna’ take me dead or alive Bitch bat shit crazy
Said I’m over it but she just ain’t having it She says but I’m one of a kind Bitch bat shit crazy
Now he’s the only one I can see without starting up World War 3 A promise forever just you and me
Everyone else around me slowly started vanishing Erases faces from my life he’s so immature
Ignoring warning signs around me Caught up inside her bed But now I’m all alone with the hell inside her head
Pounding my door down in the rain screaming my name Bitch bat shit crazy Said I’m over it but he just ain’t having it Bitch bat shit crazy
She said they’ll drop like flies Boy don’t bring your friends around me then I can’t hide my lies
She said off with your head Boy you think it’s that easy to leave me gonna’ end up dead
Cruisin’ through life with my worries low When suddenly a nightmare struck a blow It tried to count me out and write me off But the ones that I care for bring me back to life It can break my body but it can’t break the rest of me
Every morning the sun rises Another battle has been won Today might bring some surprises But defeating me won’t be one
Round for round it’s getting brutal now But hit after hit I refuse the ground It’s hard to say who will come out on top But I’ve learned it’s a choice to become unbreakable It can break my body but it can’t break the rest of me
They say keep enemies near They say keep enemies near
Face your fear, face your fear and you can laugh in the face of fear
Don’t let it go Don’t let go Don’t let it go Go to your head Don’t let it go to your head Don’t let it go Don’t let go Don’t let it go Go to your head
Every morning the sun rises Another battle has been won Today might bring some surprises But defeating me won’t be one But defeating me won’t be one But defeating me won’t
Sometimes it all comes crashing down at me it feels so hard to breathe The enemy is hiding beneath the deep Voices in my head urge me to run What I’m running from is not the problem a vision I can’t see
I’m keeping my head above water And my eyes are on the prize that amounts The past may have left you so broken You know and I know it’s about where we’ve been
Fighting to break the grip of the serpent wrapped around my neck I touch the skin but leave no trace Voices in my head urge me to run The message defies me
I’m keeping my head above water I’m keeping my head above water
I will not, I will not die defeated I will not, I will not die defeated
I’m keeping my head above water And my eyes are on the prize
I will not, I will not You know and I know I will not, I will not die defeated
We’ve got a talent seeing our flaws as fireman puttin’ out the sun for glare It might impair but at least we won’t see enough to care They cut off our talons, pulling our eyes from the truth while they poison the air And what we share is that we don’t know better than this
So here I come towards the burning flame Here I come
Sometimes it’s something we love that knocks us down I’m too addicted to quit But you’ve got the bullets and bandages You’ve got the bullets and bandages
We’re loving something but we can’t understand how why or when We made our beds but we don’t know how we got tied up Our chests are beating we stand up for our friends but never for ourselves in the end Cause it’s so lovely feeling safe even when it’s pretend
So here I come towards the burning flame So here I come
I hope you’re already gone ‘Cause you know, you know I’m moving on
Moving on I’m moving on I’m moving on
Sometimes it’s something we love that knocks us down I’m too addicted to quit You’ve got the bullets and bandages You’ve got the bullets and bandages
You’ve got the bullets and bandages You’ve got the bullets and bandages Sometimes it’s something we love that knocks us down I’m too addicted to quit
I gave you rise from the dust But now you’ve turned on me I feel the rising of disease The burn is 3rd degree Scaring my skin the cycle’s on repeat You’re throwing away your only place to stay And it’s all because of greed
I wonder if you know you put me through this If you don’t change I will retaliate I’ll shake you off, shake you off To clear the slate I don’t need your saving I can save myself I’ll save myself from you
Your I need this I want that now mentality is killin’ me I gave you everything I have What is there left to say? Scaring my skin the cycle’s on repeat When will you wake up? I am beautiful, I’m complex, I’m alive
Chipping away at me with no regard Chipping away at your life support
I know there’s potential Think of your future But you keep falling short But you keep falling short
But you keep falling short!
I never thought it would go this far I’ll give you one last chance So take your last chance And make a change Or take your LAST DANCE
You know you put me through this If you don’t change I will retaliate I’ll shake you off, shake you off To clear the slate I don’t need your saving I can save myself
There’s parts of my past that I’d like to never say I’ve taken risks that put others in harms way Betrayed the ones I care about Thinking only of my self felt lonely
I wish I knew what I know now when I was young I wish I knew it can’t be undone I wish I knew what I know right now when I was young
I’ve spoken lies just to create a disguise I’ve brought tears down from my mothers own eyes You’ve got my word Never hurt again Finally through my mistakes I see clear
I wish I knew what I know now when I was young
I finally see so clear now I’m only human after all
Passing through the seasons in life so lifelessly Still searching in the cold You brought summer and now I’m revived Together we’ll grow old Infinitely Here or another space Your gravity Is pulling on me
There’s something I see deep within your eyes You show me we’re more than alive After this world there will be no goodbyes
Just the feeling when I taste the wine on your lips Can fuel the fire There’s something true in you I can’t miss It lifts me higher Infinitely Here or another space Your Gravity Is pulling
Your gravity Your gravity grounds me Gravity is pulling on me
We’ve lost all control Now they walk on us, then walk on carelessly Con artist of the century Do you have nothing to say? For the pain you caused for you own personal gain We know there’s nothing left of empathy
Will we fade? We need a vision, not division
Outside she’s a Marilyn Inside there’s a Medusa Don’t let her turn you to stone Yeah she’s a Marilyn Inside there’s a Medusa Stuck in our ways will we always stay there?
They kiss sanity goodbye and welcome madness with hello (hello, hello) A tomorrow we don’t wanna’ know Something in the way of the dream we used to be that’s haunting me (Woah, Woah) A nightmare where we aren’t free Will we fade? Don’t fade away
Stuck in our ways will we always stay there? Will we fade until we’re not even a memory?
You remind me of someone else Who turns everyone she knows to stone and lives alone
Outside she’s a Marilyn Inside there’s a Medusa Don’t let her turn you to stone Outside she’s a Marilyn Inside there’s a Medusa Whatever happened to home?
Outside there’s a Marilyn Inside there’s a Medusa Stuck in our ways will we always stay there? Stuck in our ways will we always stay there?
Ever feel like life is passing you by? No matter what you try you can’t turn back the hands of time Technology surely consuming me Soaked in light from the TV I’m like a zombie
Get up get out there’s so much more Waiting behind the door
Welcome to the show Yeah, welcome to the show We’re all living in a silver screen
Welcome to the show Where everybody knows We all live where no one else can see
I won’t let anybody hold me back Won’t relive a bad moment leave it in my tracks Not synthetic but not quite human Rewrite the script so let’s get down to it
There’s nothing in my way I’m taking back today Get lost in living and loving every moment of it
So welcome to the show Welcome to the show
So live now ‘Cause everybody knows we’re all living in a silver screen Live now.
I know that I should stay away from you There’s something about this Let’s go I’m in case of emergency
Break glass and bring down the flames This has been a taste of my own medicine And this doesn’t taste all too great I’m not enjoying this
Whoa Why are the ones that you want the ones you can’t have and I know the place that you’re in ‘cause I built it American Psycho
I know as soon as I let go The gravity will kick in Let go I wish that I could turn things around
Ahh
If only I wasn’t livin’ on the other side I would have seen it comin’ If only I had kept my mouth shut It wouldn’t be the end of this but The words are falling like a broken dam and goddamn You’re choking on a loaded gun
If only I wasn’t livin’ on the other side I would have seen it coming It’s a taste of my own medicine
Why won’t you let me in? Why won’t you let me win?
Nothing compares to the freedom before we grew No more worries, we could be just me and you But now each day is getting pulled further away Cause we are burning like a wick that meets the flame Let’s slow it down
We can disappear for another year And get lost in ourselves Let’s do the things that make me and you Let’s leave it all behind And get lost in ourselves And do the things that make me and you Let’s get lost in ourselves Do the things that make me and you
Why not take some time and find what’s hidden in everything And why not travel to the places to you unseen We could stay up sharing voices from what we have dreamed We are burning like a candle melting through the seams
We can disappear for another year And get lost in ourselves Let’s do the things that make me and you Let’s leave it all behind And get lost in ourselves And do the things that make me and you
Woah, woah, woah, for another year Woah, woah, woah, for another year
It’s coming up from being down that makes you feel so good It’s coming up from being down that makes you feel so good And now I’m longing to be where I should And we can run away
We can disappear for another year And get lost in ourselves Let’s do the things that make me and you Let’s leave it all behind
And get lost in ourselves And do the things that make me and you
Woah, woah, woah, for another year Woah, woah, woah, the things that make me and you
Another day, another night I know I’m not alright Searching for what I am and how I can become alive The feeling of feeling alone can be frightening at first You never know who you could be until you dare to see
In a world so black and white I’ll remain being red I’ll keep the blood pumping strong so I don’t feel so dead I’ll be the brave, I’ll be the brave In a world so black and white I’ll remain being red
Another day another night I feel the pressure on me You try to turn me into something I will never be The feeling of feeling alone turns into bravery You never know who you could be until you dare to see
I’m feeling the color come back to my face Like I have been out in the cold for too long But now I am back in the warmth here to stay And there’s no changing that
Whoa . . . I won’t let you make me (Let you make me) No . . . Or let you break me (Let you break me)
This never ending ride Ended to our surprise We felt electrified and then the fire died How we see our future isn’t always right We’re sorting through the ashes in these changing times A phoenix will rise
Here’s to breaking through all the walls this time Make a fire lit from embers that were left behind I know I will never be the same again Never be the same again
Our brotherhood The blood and tears Throughout the years has led us here
Our brotherhood The blood and tears Washed away our fears from this new road A phoenix will rise
Let the fire spread Let the fire spread Let the fire spread Let the fire spread
If there was ever a time to dare it’s now
Like a phoenix we’ll rise from the ashes
You never see what I see The weight you’re putting on me We never seem to see eye to eye I keep running away But I’m so quick to return This battle in me is starting to burn As I walk beside you You try to take my feet right out from underneath me and I wonder How many times will I fall? You’re no good, I need out
Gotta break away, Gotta break away You bring me down, You’re so contagious Gotta break away, Gotta break away We’ve had enough, yeah we wont take this
I built these walls to protect and try to keep out the wolves Even though I built this place bullet proof You’re toxic and you want to eat me alive from the inside You’re no good, I need out
Whoa we won’t take this Whoa we won’t take this
Gotta break away, Gotta break away We’ve had enough, yeah we wont take this You wont bring me down
Gotta run, gotta run while I still can Before it gets too late, before it’s too late
Gotta break away, Gotta break away We’ve had enough, yeah we wont take this
In the beginning it felt so right You opened up my eyes to an exhilarating time In-between your sheets It felt just like the world could fade away But we’d still be okay Slowly you started showing your colors That were hidden so well But I don’t seem to care when no ones watching I was under your spell
You take over my mind I’m like a moth towards light I say no but my body can’t fight I swore that was the last time I swore that I was done How did I end up back at square one
Something about the guilt A.K. the guillotine Regret runs through my head but it can’t overtake The want to try to relive tasting your lips I know I’m smarter than this But I’m under your spell
I’d try to run but you’d come catch me I’d try to hide but you’d come find me (x4)
I know this thirst that I quench only lasts so long Before I go at it again I love it, I hate it, the prize isn’t worth the risk It’s not just a game it’s a hunt It’s going down What’s going down next is a little more profound Yeah!
You walk into the room I can tell what’s on your mind I try to look away but I loose that fight every time Your eyes are set to kill One this blackout kind of night I better play my cards right
Not you again
I know the moment I run you won’t let me quit You enjoy this hold you have on me I love it, I hate it, fearing for my life It’s not just a game it’s a hunt It’s going down What’s going down next is a little more profound
Let go Let go for a change Let go Let go for a chance to survive
You walk into the room I can tell what’s on your mind I try to look away but I loose that fight every time Your eyes are set to kill One this blackout kind of night I better play my cards right I better play my cards right On this blackout kind of night
The truth will hurt when you find out exactly what you are When you only care about yourself The trust we shared has been shattered to pieces like stone to glass Should have never let you in the pack I made a mistake by thinking you had my back
I will reveal the fake you have become Your words spill blood like bullets from a gun I see right through your mask and you I will destroy the fake you have become
You hold a pose so you won’t stand out Disguised and all alone You can’t hide for long I’ll find you out How can you look into the mirror and see the person staring back Over time the truth always breaks through I made a mistake by thinking you had my back I made a mistake by thinking you had my back
Nothing left inside you but plastic pieces glued So I won’t feel as bad when I destroy you
Fake Get out. Get out. Fake Get out. Get out.
I will reveal the fake you have become Your words spill blood like bullets from a gun I see right through your mask and you I will destroy the fake you have become Fake Get out. Get out.
