The Black

[Chorus]

Every breath you take, I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself

Every breath you take, I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself, I won't give in

[Verse 1]

If my heart could sing, would you stay?

Would you stay and listen, would you stay and listen?

If my soul was torn, would you help?

Would you try and fix me, would you help unbreak me?

[Pre-Chorus]

Your smile, it eats me alive

And I can't turn away any longer

[Chorus]

Every breath you take, I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself, I won't give in

Every breath you take, I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself, I won't give in

[Verse 2]

I'm the ghost of what's left of me

Begging you to hear me, can you even feel me?

I can't let you go, save me, please

Will you stay here with me, will you ever leave me?

[Pre-Chorus]

Your smile, it eats me alive

And I can't turn away any longer

[Chorus]

Every breath you take, I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself, I won't give in

Every breath you take, I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself, I won't give in

[Bridge]

I gave you everything, I never thought we would end up like this

I gave you everything, if I can't let you go, save me, please

I gave you everything, I won't give in

I gave you everything, I won't give in

Every breath you take, I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself (I'll be your light in the darkness)

[Chorus]

Every breath you take, I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself, I won't give in

Every breath you take, I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself, I won't give in

[Outro]

I gave you everything, I never thought we would end up like this

[Intro: Ben Bruce]

I was fucking pissed off man that guy was my best friend and he just kinda turned his back on me, he fucking bailed

Denis actually sat down and said:

"You don't want this album to be about Danny. Danny's in the past now, you need to move on, you need to look forward to your future."

And I was like: "You're right, you're right." and um, I sat down, and, and, I rewrote most of, most of the record um, lyrically anyway with Denis

[Verse 1]

So here we fucking go

You're going down

You're on your own

And now you're on your own

This hate is endless

Tonight I think I'll cross the line

I'll cross the fucking line

This hate is relentless

Oh! Here we go

Down! This hole

I've lost control

Save me

Oh! Here we go

Down! This hole

I've lost control

Save me

[Pre-Chorus]

Picking up, picking up another life

Waking up, waking up from all the lies

I feel so alone

[Chorus]

Sometimes it ends

Sometimes you fall

Crossing out the man that I've become

I'm standing tall

Stronger than I ever did before

Against them all

[Verse 2]

I know that you have locked me in your eyes

And I can't resist it

The target on your chest is all that I can see

Fight me now

It's not over

No, no, no, it's not over

Pick me up off the ground just once more

So on I go, on I go

But never alone

[Chorus]

Sometimes it ends

Sometimes you fall

Crossing out the man that I've become

I'm standing tall

Stronger than I ever did before

Against them all

[Bridge]

Now it's my turn

To drag you through this hell

Through this hell

I, I won't forgive

I won't let go of what you've done

[Verse 3]

Woke up alone

So sick of this game

I've spent too many years in this house of pain

If you can't find the words, read between the lines

So take it or leave it to me

So take it or leave it to me from here this time

[Outro: Ben Bruce]

Ah, it was hard to sort of, switch off cause I was still angry inside, but I just...saying it now again it might be something about Danny obviously because being a musician and an artist, I write about what's fueling me, how I'm feeling at the time. But a lot of how I'm feeling is excitement and I am happy and I am extremely grateful to still be going. So I just have to concentrate more of that, sort of, like, for the new record

Then, you know, use my energy in hindsight, in a negative way, which it completely would have been had Denis not called me out and said: "Stop being a pussy.", which is cool

[Verse 1]

We are the ones that no one gave a chance

We are the ones that almost lost it all

Ghost in the hall, you'll never catch a glance

We are the lost (Lost!)

We are the lost souls

[Chorus]

Our hearts, our souls, are shallow empty holes

We sing this anthem for us all

We're so fucked up

Oh god, we're so alone

Just close your eyes and sing along

[Verse 2]

If my heart stops beating will you still remember?

Will you still remember my name?

Did I get what I deserved?

We're trapped in doubt

In our own minds

Ignoring all we feel inside

Forsaken, gone, forgotten

Everything has come apart

Lead us back from out the dark

[Chorus]

Our hearts, our souls, are shallow empty holes

We sing this anthem for us all

We're so fucked up

Oh god, we're so alone

Just close your eyes and sing along

[Outro]

One, two, one two three

Let's go, go, go, go

We sing this anthem for us all, all, all, all

Let's go, go, go, go

We sing this anthem for us all, all, all, all

We are the lost souls

We are the lost souls

We are the lost souls

We are the lost souls

[Verse 1]

A bottle of whiskey in my hand is like a fucking gun against my head

Just waiting to go off

So let's go

Come on

It's our curse on this road

This is what we all live for

A new will to begin

Armed with a license to sin

We're back at it again (We're back at it again)

Stay out of my fucking way

Stay out of my fucking way

[Pre-Chorus]

Did I take the right path?

I don't know, but I'm lovin' everything

[Chorus]

All the hearts that I have broken

All the lies I've left unspoken

It's time to move on and just walk away

But in the end we'll be okay

And I'll be the one to blame

It's time to move on and just walk away

[Verse 2]

Fuck yeah

You might be the first for the evening

But you sure ain't the last

Another temporary lover whose lovin' never lasts

It's rock and roll and we love it that way

[Pre-Chorus]

Did I take the right path?

I don't know, but I'm lovin' everything

[Chorus]

All the hearts that I have broken

All the lies I've left unspoken

It's time to move on and just walk away

But in the end we'll be okay

And I'll be the one to blame

It's time to move on and just walk away

[Outro]

I'm out of my fucking mind

I'm out of my fucking mind

I'm out of my fucking mind

I don't care 'cause I'm lovin' everything

Fuck

I'm telling you I'm crazy

Baby this is how I play

And you can't fucking stop me

I'm in it all the way

[Stoff] Being a musician, even… Read More [Verse 1]

A stranger to most, but everyone knows his name

The city he wakes up in is never the same, never the same

It gets hard to count the days with only stars to lead the way

And in his heart of gold he knows this has to change

[Chorus]

So send me home, I have lost my way

And I don't even know if we'll make it through today

Take another step, take another breath

I fill my lungs with deepest regrets

And I don't know if I'll make it home again

[Verse 2]

It gets a little harder day by day

The loneliness is swallowing me

I listen to the silence to hear what it might say, hear what it might say

Who will pick me up again?

I need you here, I need a friend

We'll get lost on time that's stolen

So take my hand

[Chorus]

And send me home, I have lost my way

And I don't even know if we'll make it through today

Take another step, take another breath

I fill my lungs with deepest regrets

And I don't know if I'll make it home again

[Bridge]

Take, take, take all that I've got, got, got

All I need is one more moment

I just have to end this torment

Take, take, take all that I've got

We'll get lost on time that's stolen

Take my hand and lead me home again

Just take my hand

[Chorus]

So send me home, I have lost my way

And I don't even know if we'll make it through today

Take another step, take another breath

I fill my lungs with deepest regrets

And I don't know if I'll make it home again

[Bruce] ‘Here I Am’ was one of the… Read More [Verse 1]

I'm unashamed of my mistakes

I walked the path I had to take

It's made me who I am today

This reign of hate is done

We're gonna take this over now

And we've only just begun

[Chorus]

Here I am

This is all of me

I'm not hiding

I'm standing tall for all to see

Here I am

There is nothing bigger

Nothing brighter than a future I see

[Verse 2]

So if you find it hard to breathe

You can put your faith in me

I'll be the light that leads your way

We are the voice of a generation

So take your chance and don't back down

[Chorus]

Here I am

This is all of me

I'm not hiding

I'm standing tall for all to see

Here I am

There is nothing bigger

Nothing brighter than a future I see

[Bridge]

Take this chance

Take a stand

Take this chance

Don't back down

[Chorus]

Here I am

This is all of me

I'm not hiding

I'm standing tall for all to see

Here I am

There is nothing bigger

Nothing brighter than a future I see

[Outro]

So take this chance

Don't back down

Take a stand

And never let them bring you down

So take this chance

Don't back down

And never let them bring you down

So take this chance

Don't back down

Take a stand

And never let them bring you down

[Verse 1]

No, I never said it was easy

We're starting over again

Oh, you fucking gotta believe me

We nearly fell off the edge

[Pre-Chorus]

Circled by the wolves

Circled by the wolves, they want me dead

Look me in the eye, I'm no longer afraid

[Chorus]

(Woah, woah)

I've come so far, I won't turn away

(Woah, woah)

Let go of the past and life for today

[Verse 2]

I don't run Fucker, I kill Motherfucker

And I'm here Motherfucker

You can try to beat me

Step inside Fucker

You're next Motherfucker

And you'll see Motherfucker

You can't fuck with me

You're long dead to me

(Ha, ha, ha)

[Verse 3]

Fuck you!

Our fingers raised in the air

So can you hear me now?

Say my name

No longer wasting my time

Your words don't bother me

I don't care

[Chorus]

(Woah, woah)

I've come so far, I won't turn away

(Woah, woah)

Let go of the past and life for today

[Bridge]

CHEERS!

OH GOD...

I can't believe you thought we couldn't see

You wanted closure - Now it's here for you

F-U-C-K-Y-O-U

[Outro]

We're all just running in circles

Forever chasing a dream

As if everything that we long for is not as far as it seems

Who the hell are you any way?

Who the fuck are you to say we're done for?

We're done for?
