Hopelessly Hopeful Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Staring eyes wide open, gazin' into nothin', runnin' in place again

Going through the motions, in and out as the oceans, repeatin'

Numb to the silence, to the absence of emotion

The sum of the script, nothin' but a click in the rotation, yeah

Sick of the peace of mind that goes along with keepin' on, and I

Can't keep on keepin' on

[Chorus]

Feels like I'm stuck here suspended, at best underwhelming

What's wrong with me? (With me)

My conscious is calling, but the world isn't all it's cracked up to be

I'm hopelessly hopeful (Hopeful, hopelessly hopeful)

That I'm not stuck here suspended

In a world I pretended was right for me (For me), for me

[Post-Chorus]

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

What's wrong with me?

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

[Verse 2]

Strung out on the same old, got an itch for somethin' painful

To feel somethin' real once, to remind myself it's not in my head

Sick of the calm coincidin' with stickin' in and with the line

Can't keep on keepin' on, it all just

[Chorus]

Feels like I'm stuck here suspended, at best underwhelming

What's wrong with me? (With me)

My conscious is calling, but the world isn't all it's cracked up to be

I'm hopelessly hopeful (Hopeful, hopelessly hopeful)

That I'm not stuck here suspended

In a world I pretended was right for me (For me), for me

[Bridge]

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

What's wrong with me?

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

When I close my eyes

(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)

When I leave the light

(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)

[Chorus]

Inside it feels like I'm stuck here suspended, at best underwhelming

What's wrong with me? (With me)

My conscious is calling, but the world isn't all it's cracked up to be

I'm hopelessly hopeful (Hopeful, hopelessly hopeful)

That I'm not stuck here suspended

In a world I pretended was right for me (For me), for me

Where Did It Go? Lyrics

[Verse 1]

So you're all stars now? So you're what's in now?

Top of the world now? So you're the kings?

There's only one throne, and I'm not done with it

Still shitting, sleeping, eating, breathing it, ten years

And you're still hanging on my every word with baited breath

After a decade pushing boundaries, proving impossible possible

Making something from nothing, creating "larger than life"

Always rejecting the herd, always ahead of the curve

Writing the records your favorite bands rip off in their records

[Chorus]

You're all so fucking outrageous, I can't take it

Motherfuckers more than a little complacent

Where did it go? Where did it go so wrong?

Just sit the fuck down, pay attention

There's too much noise for a second listen

Where did it go? Where did it go so wrong?

[Verse 2]

There was the first one, the triple gold one

The stole by every fucking band on summer tours one

Then the second one, the living reckless one

The "knock the pop stars off the charts" one

And the third one, the "fuck the world" one

The "arenas singing every fucking word" one

Then was the fourth one, the "wasn't me" one

The "we needed just a little space to breathe" one

But now there's this one, the "I'm the king" one

The "I don't care, I'm gonna do my thing" one

The breaking every fucking rule in the book one

The fuck you all

[Chorus]

This shit is fucking outrageous, I can't take it

Motherfuckers more than a little complacent

Where did it go? Where did it go so wrong?

Just sit the fuck down, pay attention

There's too much noise for a second listen

Where did it go? Where did it go so wrong?

[Bridge]

Don't have to like it, but you can't deny you needed me

To show you what comes next, what comes next

I've set the standard far too high for you to follow me

Feel free to try your best, try your best

[Chorus]

You're all so fucking outrageous, I can't take it

Motherfuckers more than a little complacent

Where did it go? Where did it go so wrong?

Just sit the fuck down, pay attention

There's too much noise for a second listen

Where did it go? Where did it go so wrong?

[Outro]

Hahahahahaha

Rise Up Lyrics

[Intro]

Rise up, take back control

[Verse 1]

I find resolve in the darkest part of my mind

I can stand to be inside

I find the light to be a little much at times

But I will rise

[Chorus]

I will rise up with the weight of the world

I will rise up from the darkness, purged

[Post-Chorus]

Rise up, take back control

[Verse 2]

I face the truth with a bitterness that won't

Subside and I face it alone

I'll be the pariah in your war against yourself

But I will rise

[Pre-Chorus]

This is the product of hatred and anger

A life spent on the outside, but I will rise

[Chorus]

I will rise up with the weight of the world

I will rise up from the darkness, purged

[Bridge]

I will rise up with the weight of the world

I will rise up from the darkness, purged

[Chorus]

I will rise up with the weight of the world

I will rise up from the darkness, purged

[Outro]

Rise up, rise up

Rise up, take back control

Vultures Lyrics

[…] That’s what “Vultures” is about. It’s… Read More [Verse 1]

Close the curtains, cash me in

Gather photographs of the Devil you let in

Digging deep inside my soul

I don't know, I don't know

[Chorus]

Where to turn

Everywhere I look, these vultures burn

The life right outta me, do I run?

Or lay down and die? Is it time to close my eyes? (My eyes, my eyes)

[Verse 2]

Keep me numb, I'll follow direction

A pawn to pass around and be bled until I'm dry

It's hard to see what's underneath

Is it me? Is it me?

[Chorus]

Where do I turn?

Everywhere I look, these vultures burn

The life right outta me, do I run?

Or lay down and die? Is it time to close my eyes?

[Bridge]

For so long all I've known, all I've seen's green lights

Fuck your greed, all I need's somewhere

To catch my breath, rest my head and ease my mind

I've been holding on, but my grip ain't what it used to be

I'm much older, I'm bitter, I'm jaded, I'm lost

Can somebody give me a sign?

[Chorus]

Where do I turn?

Everywhere I look, these vultures burn

The life right outta me, do I run

Or lay down and die? Is it time to close my eyes?

Where do I turn?

Everywhere I look, these vultures burn

The life right outta me, do I run

Or lay down and die? Is it time to close my eyes?

Eve Lyrics

[Intro]

I am iniquity

[Verse 1]

You think everything is perfect, silly girl?

There's so much wonder here right in front of your eyes

What could it hurt? What's wrong with you?

Who the fuck is he? Why can't you know? Why can't you know?

[Chorus]

And the walls came down, and the heavens opened

It's too late to claim your innocence once the trust is broken

It was just a little taste, it was so sweet

You couldn't imagine in your wildest dreams

You had to taste it, reach out and take it

[Verse 2]

For just a second, consider why a man who cares so much

Would keep something so simple from someone so innocent?

Maybe he wants it all for himself 'cause he thinks you don't deserve

To feel all the joys that he feels, that you'll never feel

Ask yourself, why does he give you less when he takes more?

Ask yourself, how being free is being locked inside these walls?

Maybe you're weak or a mistake or too emotional

Maybe you're not good enough for his world, maybe you never were

[Chorus]

And the walls came down, and the heavens opened

It's too late to claim your innocence once the trust is broken

It was just a little taste, it was so sweet

You couldn't imagine in your wildest dreams

You had to taste it, reach out and take it

[Bridge]

He'll never know, I'll never tell

You deserve, you deserve to be free

You have my word, damn me to Hell

You deserve to know, you deserve to be free

[Chorus]

And the walls came down, and the heavens opened

It's too late to claim your innocence once the trust is broken

It was just a little taste, it was so sweet

You couldn't imagine in your wildest dreams

You had to taste it, reach out and take it

[Outro]

You had to taste it, reach out and take it

Reach out and take it

I Am One Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I could hold you so close and never let you in

I could feel you in my bones and never really feel a thing

You can't climb inside my soul and hold on forever

I couldn't change if I tried, my mind's as the weather

Don't know what I believe in, who I believe in anymore

I know that I'm broken, it's the road that I've chosen to walk alone

[Pre-Chorus]

I could hold you, I could hold you so close

I could hold you so close and never let you in

[Chorus]

Alone among numbers, scream back at the thunder

I learned from the start that all I had was me

I am as one, the father and the son

I am one, I am one

[Verse 2]

You couldn't believe the fires that I've walked through

The shit that I've overcome, I've never needed you

Taught me from the beginning the only one to believe in

Is myself, so I left and became the wind

I can't be left if I'm alone

I can't be pulled down if I don't hold on

[Chorus]

Alone among numbers, scream back at the thunder

I learned from the start that all I had was me

I am as one, the father and the son

I am one

[Bridge]

I don't need your love, I don't want your love

I am one, I am one

Again and again, I repeat and explain, am I fucking insane? (Insane)

It's like the words coming out just don't seem to sink in

I am one

[Chorus]

Alone among numbers, scream back at the thunder

I learned from the start that all I had was me

I am as one, the father and the son

I am one

[Outro]

I am one, I am one

I am one

I am one, I am one

Empire Lyrics

[Verse 1: Bingx]

Yeah, and they tell me life is short

In the blink of an eye, we come and die, keep it in mind that life is war

Stay grinding, fly and soar, always know what you fighting for

Aging fast, gotta pave a path and go figure out what my life is for

Woo, quick-witted, and every day I gotta switch lanes

Fuck race, no pigment, I got thick skin, making big waves

Positive being positive is my legacy, pray for me or make way for me

'Cause I'm on the way to go change the Earth, and I just may

My life is what I call it, and I call it successful

Now everybody wanna eyeball it, like, "How the fuck he do that, though?"

Take pride in your every action, every day of my life is work

And they tell me that time is money, but only I know what that time is worth

[Pre-Chorus: Ben Bruce]

Even if the sky was falling down, down, down, down

Well, even if the sky was falling, well, I'm not falling down

I stand tall through it all, I've risked too much to just give up now

I'm pushing on through, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Danny Worsnop]

Sure as the tide rolls in at night

I'll still be here at the end of days screaming at the sky

Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me

Behold, I'll build my empire 'fore the ashes hit the ground

[Verse 2: Bingx]

Life inside a piece of paper, live it through my pen and pad

Lead inside my pencil like the hammer on my pistol back (Rrah)

Ain't no hitting back; life, it ain't no tennis match

All over the net, but that ain't where I do business at, woo

Face to face with adversity and intimidation

This is real, this is raw, ain't no imitation

No limitations, ain't a ceiling in sight

There ain't no rules or regulations, either yield or you fight

Just take a look at where I been, that's some appealing advice

'Cause you can build until it falls or keep it real and you rise

[Pre-Chorus: Ben Bruce]

Even if the sky was falling down, down, down, down

Well, even if the sky was falling, well, I'm not falling down

I stand tall through it all, I've risked too much to just give up now

I'm pushing on through, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Danny Worsnop]

Sure as the tide rolls in at night

I'll still be here at the end of days screamin' at the sky

Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me

Behold, I'll build my empire 'fore the ashes hit the ground

[Bridge: Danny Worsnop]

Sure as the tides roll in at night

I'll still be here at the end of days screaming at the sky

Let the fires consume and cleanse what's before me

Behold, I'll build my empire 'fore the ashes hit the ground (Ashes hit the ground)

Ashes hit the ground

[Chorus: Danny Worsnop]

Sure as the tide rolls in at night

I'll still be here at the end of days screaming at the sky

Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me

Behold, I'll build my empire 'fore the ashes hit the ground

[Outro: Danny Worsnop & Ben Bruce]

I'll build my empire 'fore the ashes hit the ground

Even if the sky was falling down

Room 138 Lyrics

[Intro]

On my back, breathin' heavy, starin' at the light

Prayin' this ain't the end, but pretty sure it might be

On my back, got my heart beatin' out of my chest

I never thought, can't believe that I'd go out like this

(Go out like this, go out like this, go out like this, go out like this)

(Go out like this, go out like this, go out like this)

[Chorus]

So these are the walls that have to hold this moment

I never expected to be here again

My vision is blurrin' as the light starts to fade

Please, pull me out from this

[Verse]

My ribs are breakin', I swear, I'm only 23

Crawlin', searchin' for a lifeline I just can't reach

Somebody, hear me; someone, open up the door

Get me up off of this floor and stop the shakin', the shakin'

The blood is boilin' in my veins, oh God, the pain, it's unrelentin'

I'm ready for the end if it means that all of this will end

[Chorus]

So these are the walls that have to hold this moment

I never expected to be here again

My vision is blurrin' as the light starts to fade

Please, pull me out from this

[Bridge]

Through the haze, I saw a face (Come to me)

A second chance, another life to live (Come to me)

How did you forgive me? (Come to me)

Held my head against your chest (Come to me)

Told me everything's alright, don't be afraid (Come to me)

Close your eyes and rest

Through the haze, I saw a face

A second chance, another life to live

How did you forgive me?

Held my head against your chest

Told me everything's alright, don't be afraid

[Chorus]

So these are the walls that have to hold this moment

I never expected to be here again

My vision is blurrin' as the light starts to fade

Please, pull me out from this

[Outro]

(Come to me, come to me, come to me, come to me, come to me)

Please, pull me out from this

(So these are the walls that have to hold this moment)

Please, pull me out from this
