Track Lyrics

The Resistance (Album Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You want to watch us break?

Be the first to take us down

But your teeth are worn

And there’s no stopping us now

You’ve got to be mental

Your speeches are maligned

Take down this Molotov of word

Penned with you in mind

[Chorus]

Speak

Speak for yourself

You paper tigers

You’ll crash where you stand

You’ve got a riot on your hands

Speak

Speak for yourself

You paper tigers

Too late to meet demands

When you’ve got a riot on your hands

[Verse 2]

Silent alarms are ringing

Sounds of revolt draw near

A new united front

That you will come to fear

We will hold together

To become the change

Voice for the voiceless

With every common man engaged

[Chorus]

Speak

Speak for yourself

You paper tigers

You’ll crash where you stand

You’ve got a riot on your hands

Speak

Speak for yourself

You paper tigers

Too late to make demands

When you’ve got a riot

[Bridge]

Ignite and watch us burn

‘Til every ember’s turned

Mankind will feel inspired

When we set your walls to fire

[Chorus]

Speak

Speak for yourself

You paper tigers

You’ll crash where you stand

You’ve got a riot on your hands

Speak

Speak for yourself

You paper tigers

Too late to make demands

When you’ve got a riot on your hands

[Outro]

Speak for yourself

Breaking (Album Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Do you memorize theatrical lines

That seem to lead them in?

Play the role with a good-girl heart

Hide the tangled webs within

Who was it that led you on

And makes you want to hurt me so?

Who do you want to forget?

Who forgot you long ago?

[Pre-Chorus]

Do you still feel him

Calling in the air tonight?

Do you still feel it?

Seems like you've done this before

[Chorus]

You make breaking hearts look so easy

Seems like you've done this before

You've got breaking hearts all but down

Have you done this, you've done this before

You make stealing hearts look so easy

Where is the girl I adore?

You've got breaking up all but down

And I can't love a thief anymore

[Verse 2]

Do you collect the souls you've lost

In the top of your dresser drawer?

Count the number of tears displaced

On lonely bedroom floors?

A machine where your heart once was

Slowly takes the place of you

Only hold the memories now

Of a love I thought I knew

[Pre-Chorus]

Do you still feel him

Calling in the air tonight?

Do you still feel it?

Seems like you've done this before

[Chorus]

You make breaking hearts look so easy

Seems like you've done this before

You've got breaking hearts all but down

Have you done this, you've done this before

You make stealing hearts look so easy

Where is the girl I adore?

You've got breaking up all but down

And I can't love a thief anymore

[Chorus]

You make breaking hearts look so easy

You've got breaking hearts all but down

You make breaking hearts look so easy

Seems like you've done this before

You've got breaking hearts all but down

Have you done this, you've done this before

The best you could hope to be

Is now just a bittersweet memory

And you make breaking hearts look so easy

Blame Me! Blame Me! (Album Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

And we could ride all night

To the pace of the blinking lights

Wishing traffic was faster

(Traffic was faster)

Keeping safe distance

But courting disaster

We could dance all night

To the sounds of a starting fight

Hoping change would come round

(Change would come round)

Amazing division, how sweet the sound

[Chorus]

Blame me! Blame me! Blame me!

For mistakes you've made but you can't own

Hate me! Hate me! Hate me!

For every honest word that you've postponed

Leave me out of this

Life's a sinking ship

So blame me! Blame me! Blame me!

For mistakes you've made but you can't own

[Verse 2]

And we could stare all day

At problems that won't go away

Silence is pounding

(Silence is pounding)

You're wearing me down

These corners there rounding

We could scream all night

With no resolve still left in sight

Stop saying you're sorry

(Saying you're sorry)

All of these words feel so very empty

[Chorus]

Blame me! Blame me! Blame me!

For mistakes you've made but you can't own

Hate me! Hate me! Hate me!

For every honest word that you've postponed

Leave me out of this

Life's a sinking ship

So blame me! Blame me! Blame me!

For mistakes you've made but you can't own

[Bridge]

Torturing ourselves

Must be into the abuse

If you're the rope that ties us together

Then please make me a noose

Ask me to leave

Then beg me just to stay

Used to run to my arms but now I pull them away

Come and go as you please

I'm like a part time lover with well worn knees

Well, come on

[Chorus]

Blame me! Blame me! Blame me!

For mistakes you've made but you can't own

Hate me! Hate me! Hate me!

For every honest word that you've postponed

Leave me out of this

Life's a sinking ship

So blame me! Blame me! Blame me!

For mistakes you've made but you can't own

Retrace (Album Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, how I've tried to get you out of my head

And I lie broken in words I said

Never thought I'd walk on this street again

Standing where it all began

[Pre-Chorus]

Tried to forget when I left this town

But it takes me right back when I come back around

[Chorus]

Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night

I'm back there by your side

Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away

Counting backwards while the stars are falling

[Verse 2]

Oh, how I find, every subtle thing screams your name

It reminds me of places and times we've shared

Couldn't live locked in these memories

Now I'm chained to my thoughts again

[Pre-Chorus]

And I tried to forget when I left this town

But I'll take you right back if you come back around

[Chorus]

Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night

I'm back there by your side

Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away

Counting backwards while the stars are falling

[Bridge]

I need some shelter I, need some safety

Photographs, they haunt me lately

Chasing shadows as the evening takes me

I'm still searching, but the picture's fading

[Chorus]

Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night

I'm back there by your side

Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away

Counting backwards, still counting backwards

[Bridge 2]

And nowhere else has ever felt like home

And I can't fall asleep when I'm lying here alone

I replay your voice, it's like you're here

You move the earth, but now the sky is falling

[Chorus]

Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night

In my mind, I'm back by your side

Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away

Counting backwards while the stars are falling

Feel Good Drag Lyrics

[Verse 1]

"I'm here for you," she said

"And we can stay for a while

My boyfriend's gone

We can just pretend"

Lips that need no introduction

Now, who's the greater sin?

Your trap I seem to invite

Tell me, darling, where do we begin?

[Chorus]

Was this over before

Before it ever began?

Your kiss, your calls, your crutch

Like the devil's got your hand

This was over before

Before it ever began

Your lips, your lies, your lust

Like the devil's in your hands

[Verse 2]

Everyone in this town

Is seeing somebody else

Everybody's tired of someone

Our eyes wander for help

Prayers that need no answer now

'Cause I'm tired of who I am

You were my greatest mistake

I fell in love with your sin

Your littlest sin

[Chorus]

Was this over before

Before it ever began?

Your kiss, your calls, your crutch

Like the devil's got your hand

This was over before

Before it ever began

Your lips, your lies, your lust

Like the devil's in your hands

[Bridge]

Failure is your disease

You want my outline drawn

You were my greatest failure

Discourse your saving song

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Was this over before

Before it ever began?

Your kiss, your calls, your crutch

Like the devil's got your hand

This was over before

Before it ever began

Your lips, your lies, your lust

Like the devil's in your hands

Disappear (Album Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We are the last of the sleepless ones

Left behind by those we left behind tonight

Quiet now let the poison take

Were we always just your lost cause mistakes?

[Pre-Chorus]

Wait for me, will you wait for me?

Need you on my side

Way for me make way for me

With arms wide

[Chorus]

Alone, left alone

Watch us slowly disappear with time

Unknown still unknown

Forgotten, lost, and left behind

[Verse 2]

Dark lit streets are no place for kids

But it gives us more of a home than you ever did

We're the silentists left to our own demise

You're still our last chance to get out of this place alive

[Pre-Chorus]

Wait for me, will you wait for me?

With arms wide

[Chorus]

Alone, left alone

Watch us slowly disappear with time

Unknown still unknown

Forgotten, lost, and left behind

[Bridge]

Alone

Left alone

Watch you slowly disappear

In time

[Chorus]

Alone, left alone

Watch us slowly disappear with time

Unknown still unknown

Forgotten, lost, and left

Alone, left alone

Watch us slowly disappear with time

Unknown still unknown

Forgotten, lost, and left behind

Breathe (Album Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

This is surrender

To a wartorn life I've lived

Scars and stripes forever

In need of change I can't resist

[Pre-Chorus]

No need to hide anything anymore

Can't return to who I was before

[Chorus]

I can finally breathe

Suddenly alive

I can finally move

The world feels revived

[Verse 2]

This long of a struggle

Finally opened up my eyes

Revolution's not easy

With a civil war on the inside

[Pre-Chorus]

No need to hide anything anymore

Can't return to who I was before

[Chorus]

I can finally breathe

Suddenly alive

I can finally move

'Cause I realize

I can finally breathe

Suddenly alive

I can finally move

The world feels revived

[Chorus]

I can finally breathe

Suddenly alive

I can finally move

'Cause I realize

I can finally breathe

Suddenly alive

I can finally move

The world feels revived

Woah

I can finally breathe

Woah

I can finally move

The world feels revived

Burn Out Brighter (Northern Lights) (Album Version) Lyrics

[Intro]

Live, I wanna live inspired

Die, I wanna die for something

[Verse 1]

Racing towards the heavens

I fell into a pitch black

I'm moments from landing and I'm shaking like a heart attack

[Pre-Chorus]

Is there time, can I turn back?

I've made mistakes in the past

Need a chance, can't take it back

Wish I could set things right tonight

[Chorus]

Live, I wanna live inspired

Die, I wanna die for something higher than myself

Live and die for anyone else

The more I live I see this life's not about me

[Verse 2]

All I know spins out of control

Wonder what's next for heart and soul

Nothing on Earth can save me now

Here in what may be my final hour

[Pre-Chorus]

Is there time, can I turn back?

I've made mistakes in the past

Need a chance, can't take it back

Wish I could set things right tonight

[Chorus]

Live, I wanna live inspired

Die, I wanna die for something higher than myself

Live and die for anyone else

The more I live I see this life's not about me

[Bridge]

Don't wanna leave this world knowing I preach in vain

Looked out for myself, so sorry, so ashamed

Don't wanna leave this life knowing I barely tried

To chase down all my dreams that I hid away on the inside

[Chorus]

Live, I wanna live on fire

Die, I wanna burn out brighter

Brighter than the Northern Lights

Wanna live to feel the daylight

The more I live I see this life's not about me

Younglife (Album Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey brother, do you remember when

We used to play outdoors

Til the light was absorbed by the night?

Hey brother, it was an innocent time

We used to laugh 'til we cried

We're still boys on the inside

(I want to do it again)

[Chorus]

The first time staying out all night

The last time that we got away with lies

I can hear it in the back of my mind

Over and over again

(I want to do it again)

Late nights and early lights

Never thought it would come to a goodbye

I replay it in the back of my mind

Over and over again

(I want to do it again)

[Post-Chorus]

Lala la, lala la la la

Lala la la la

(I want to do it again)

[Verse 2]

Hey lover, do you remember when

We would dance in your apartment

'Til neighbors would knock on your door?

And I remember, you remember when

We had no money to speak of

No where else to eat but your floor

(I want to do it again)

[Chorus]

The first time staying out all night

The last time you would look me in the eyes

I can see that in the back of my mind

Over and over again

(I want to do it again)

Late nights, all entwined

Made a promise to never say goodbye

I replay it in the back of my mind

Over and over again

[Bridge]

All those days gone forever

Wonder if we're going to ever

See all our younglife friends that we made again

Have we all lost connection?

Life pulls in all directions

Memories bring us back to where we've been

[Chorus]

(I want to do it again)

The first time staying out all night

The last time that we got away with lies

We can hear it in the back of our minds

Over and over again

(I want to do it again)

Late nights and early lights

Never thought it would come to a goodbye

We replay it in the back of our minds

Over and over and over

(I want to do it again)

[Post-Chorus]

Lala la la, lala la la la

Lala la la la

(I want to do it again)

Lala la la, lala la la la

Lala la la la

(I want to do it again)

Haight St (Album Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Let's, you and me, make our way just beyond Haight Street

Lets leave this life behind, forgetting all they say

The time we had is time well borrowed

Stay out all night, forget tomorrow

[Chorus]

Let's you and me, make a night of it

Old enough to know, but too young to care

Let's you and me, make a night of it

Old enough to know, but too young to care

[Verse 2]

The rear view mirror shows the times we're abandoning

Let's leave this night behind, forgetting all they say

The time we had is time well borrowed

Stay out all night; forget tomorrow

[Chorus]

Let's you and me, make a night of it

Old enough to know, but too young to care

Let's you and me, make a night of it

Old enough to know, but too young to care

(Who cares?)

If there's trouble tonight

(Who cares?)

'Cause the kids are alright

Tonight we'll take this town

'Cause we're old enough to know, but too young to care

[Chorus]

Let's you and me, make a night of it

Old enough to know, but too young to care

Let's you and me, make a night of it

Old enough to know but too young to care

(Who cares?)

If there's trouble tonight

(Who cares?)

'Cause the kids are alright

Tonight we'll take this town

'Cause we're old enough to know, but too young to care

Soft Skeletons (Album Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Dear little girl, so much hurt

For such a young age

Trapped inside a pretty little lie

Your body's betrayed

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't fix your eyes on a fix you'll rely on

Fixed her eyes on a fix she relies upon

Stand unafraid

All the good souls, stand unafraid

[Chorus]

When the light starts to burn, and the pain returns

I just wish that I could heal the hurt you feel tonight

There's life in your veins

These needles are chains to hold you down

How can you expect to win this war?

You're too afraid to fight

Are you too afraid to fight?

[Verse 2]

Dear little one, that was so much pain

Time you can't replace

Trapped inside, too afraid to cry, and now

Hands and bruises cover face

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't fix your eyes on a fix you'll rely on

Fixed her eyes on a fix

[Chorus]

When the light starts to burn, and the pain returns

I just wish that I could heal the hurt you feel tonight

There's life in your veins

These needles are chains to hold you down

How can you expect to win this war

If you're too afraid to fight?

[Bridge]

Stand unafraid

All the good souls (All the good souls)

Stand unafraid

All of the good souls

Stand unafraid

[Chorus]

When the light starts to burn, and the pain returns

I just wish that I could heal the hurt you feel tonight

There's life in your veins

These needles are chains to hold you down

How can you expect to win this war

When the light starts to burn, and the pain returns

I just wish that I could heal the hurt you feel tonight

There's life in your veins

These needles are chains to hold you down

How can you expect to win this war

If you're too afraid to fight?

miserabile visu {ex malo bonum} (Album Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A red priest broke into our classroom

Caught us children by attention

"Listen closely to the words I speak

Lord knows if we’ll ever, ever again meet”

Spoke such words never spoken before

On The Way he declared the war

Miracles like you’ve never seen

From a man who was raised up in the sea

A man is coming in thirteen-one

To charm the daughters and the sons

Scared for our lives, I turned to your hand

Hold this tight while we run, if we still can

[Chorus]

What disasters may come

Whatever it may be

At the end of the age

It will land you and me

What tragedy may bring

Whatever may fall

The end of the world

You’ll still belong

[Verse 2]

Before the red priest took his last breath

He told me, “Child, now don’t forget

The sun will turn dark very soon

Your days are numbered when there’s blood on the moon

"The earth will shake and the sky will fall

The eyes will open of those involved

Don’t take this son, but you’ll be killed

By the man from seven hills”

A man is coming in thirteen-one

To charm the daughters and the sons

Scared for our lives, I turned to your hand

Hold this tight while we run, if we still can

[Chorus]

What disasters may come

Whatever it may be

At the end of the age

It will land you and me

What tragedy may bring

Whatever may fall

At the end of the world

You’ll still belong

[Bridge]

Look children to the eastern sky

When you hear the voice say your last goodbyes

Look there to the eastern skies

When the ghosts take hold of the men who died

Look children to the eastern sky

When your fathers weep and your mothers cry

Look children to the eastern sky

[Chorus]

What disasters may come

Whatever it may be

At the end of the age

It will land you and me

What tragedy may bring

Whatever may fall

At the end of the world

You’ll still belong

[Bridge]

Look children to the eastern sky

When you hear the voice say your last goodbyes

Look there to the eastern skies

When the ghosts take hold of the men who died

Look children to the eastern sky

When your fathers weep and your mothers cry

Look children to the eastern sky
