Track Lyrics

Game Over Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Open, blurry, nurture, loving
Crawling, walking, fleeting, glory
Welcome, brother, stranger, bloody
Ally, teacher, recess, buddy
Secret, toothless, fairy, pillow
Money, kissing, nervous, hero
Warmly ordinary
(This daytime TV satisfies)
Extra ordinary
(These hand-me-downs worn in so nice)
[Pre-Chorus]
As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may
As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may
[Chorus]
Days are fine and come on time
But years leave with nothing to find
[Verse 2]
(Wake up!)
Changes, hormones, high school, threesome
Roll call, study, license, freedom
Novice, flirting, first time, lover
Party, fighting, wasted, summer
Questions, doubtful, wedding, family
Happy, ever, after, dead end
Daily iteration
(The bestest part of waking up)
Mundane ideation
(This dark roast got me so fucked up!)
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may
As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may
[Chorus]
Days, they come, and days, they go
Until no more days set you free
Well on my way
My way to lose me
[Bridge]
It strikes me that I don't belong here anymore
As I observe my own reflection
Try a happy face
Staring through the warm tears
A sad frown from the cold years
Adieu
I never had the will anyway
[Outro]
Toss a rope over the branch and fall into the night
And here I swing from my family tree
Say goodnight
Can't you see life is but a dream anyway?

Mattel Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My vinyl skin provides protection
It holds in place my plastic bones
Cast button eyes reflect an image
And all seems as it should, but there's nobody home
[Pre-Chorus]
Cue the breeze
That sway the painted trees
Toy yellow birds upon the rooftops sing
In chorus with the buzzing bees
Melt in sun LED beams
From the sky, being held on a string
While boredom tears me apart at the seams
[Chorus]
Now I know this might sound crazy
But I've smelled the plastic daisies
And it seems we've found ourselves in hell
[Verse 2]
Round head consumed with major nothings
Ears made of wax unfit to hear
Day after day, it all plays over
Dedicated loop, same year after year
[Pre-Chorus]
Please attend
All model citizens
R.S.V.P. if we can count you in
Empty as we play pretend
Send our thoughts with you and to your kin
And in case we don't see you again
Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight
[Chorus]
Now I know this might sound crazy
But I've smelled the plastic daisies
And it seems we've found ourselves in hell
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Living feign in porcelain
And just smart enough to know nothing at all
Pull my string and make me cry
Advertisement me moral scrawl
A semblance of choice when there's no choice at all
Out of stock, the end is nigh
[Breakdown]
Burn
Body, burn
Burn
[Chorus]
Now I know this might sound crazy
But I've smelled the plastic daisies
And it seems we've found ourselves in hell
[Instrumental Outro]

Nobody Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ride in the shadows, wandering beyond the brain
Floatin' like a feather through space and time outside a dream
Pirouette with divinity in a dance we've shared before
"Someone" dissolution, this is "I am all" as "I am none"
[Pre-Chorus]
Here, we fly so high, no I, no comin' down
Shedding weight as I'm coming undone, all that's left converging as one
I am the sun, I am the sun, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm a God, I'm awake
I'm the one in everything
I'm alive, I'm the dead
I'm a man without a head
[Post-Chorus]
(I'm a God, I'm awake)
I walk with death in final exhalation, and come apart through violent separation
(I'm the one in everything)
A thousand floors ascend into the ether, a lunatic enchanted by the reaper
(I'm alive, I'm the dead)
And down below, I leave a stranger layin' lifeless as the light begins to shatter the skies
(I'm a man without a head)
And I ascend and leave behind the "used to be" and tear the fabric worn to cover my eyes
[Refrain]
And see
I see (I see)
Nobody
[Verse 2]
Breathe in the silence, ebb and flow among the waves
Blur on the spectrum, in light, come dark in equal phase
[Pre-Chorus]
All I ever was, has been, and always will be
Here I end as I started again, beyond death and borne on the wind
I am the sun, I am the sun, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm a God, I'm awake
I'm the one in everything
I'm alive, I'm the dead
I'm a man without a head
[Post-Chorus]
A crack in the darkness, a tear in the sky
(I'm the one in everything)
A narrow moment when we find ourselves and all we occupy
Return to the boundless, immerse in the free
(I'm a man without a head)
And letting go as you lose your name, and all you've known to be
[Refrain]
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
[Guitar Solo]

We Love You Lyrics

[Intro]
There you are, you've come so far
Sunny days, the air tastes so sweet
Flowers greet
Birds will sing "you mean everything"
You can be anything
[Verse 1]
More power, more pace
More money, more taste
More sex, more pills
More skin, more shills
Build tall, build higher
Build far, build wider
Build here, build down
Build up, build now
[Chorus]
But look at the way you go
You're one in a million, and you know it shows
And we love you
[Post-Chorus]
Unto the mud!
[Verse 2]
More wants, more needs
More hits, morphine
More speed, more drive
More self, more time
Build out, build fast
Build strong, build vast
Build too, build more
Build all, build war
[Chorus]
Look at the way you go
You're one in a million, and you know it shows
And we love you
[Post-Chorus]
Do unto the mud!
Mud!
[Bridge]
Race to scale the body stack
And lay foot to face atop broken back
A failure here is a failure earned
So do unto the top!
Do unto the end!
Do unto the mud, do!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
More power, more pace
More money, more taste
More sex, more pills
More skin, more shills
More wants, more needs
More hits, morphine
More speed, more drive
More self, more time
Build tall, build higher
Build far, build wider
Build here, build down
Build up, build now
Build out, build fast
Build strong, build vast
Build, build, build, build
Build, build, build, build
[Chorus]
Look at the way you go
You're one in a million, and you know it shows
And we love you
Look at the way that you choose
You know you'll never lose
And all that you are, it was all you deserved anyway
Sunny days
[Outro]
And we love you
We love you
We love you

Beautiful Morning Lyrics

[Verse 1: M. Shadows]
I sit stoic
Touch of the divine upon my neck
Lay me gently
Take my body down, let me ascend
[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]
Help me to hear, and hear me to save
And save me before I've gone too far
Let me inhale my passage to hell
While slowly exhaling the scar
[Chorus: M. Shadows]
You walk on water
But the water swallows you
[Verse 2: M. Shadows]
I lay quiet
Floating in the stillness of this tomb
Headstone empty
Choking on the flowers as they bloom
[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]
No one to know, and nowhеre to hide
And nothing of me I'vе left behind
Silence of one, the meaning of none
And letting it all go to be
[Chorus: M. Shadows]
You walk on water
But the water swallows you
You're like no other
You're the other one in view
(Don't let it be)
Don't let it be
Don't let it...
[Bridge: Synyster Gates, Synyster Gates and M. Shadows]
It's a beautiful morning
It's a beautiful day
Everybody is smilin'
In a beautiful way
I took a walk to paint the flowers and the trees
The sun reflected gazing fondly on me
I made a picture and I put it in the rays outside
It washed the paint away and carried me home, I have finally arrived
There's no one but you two
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: M. Shadows]
Dressed in armor
Just the hollow shell I was before
[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]
Help me to turn my attention on me
So empty just as I was before
Let me exhale concession to hell
While slowly embracing the scar
[Chorus: M. Shadows]
You walk on water
But the water swallows you
And you're like no other
You're the other one in view
(Don't let it be)
You walk on water
(Don't let it be, don't let it be)
But the water swallows you
(Don't let it be)
(Don't let it, don't let it)
And you're like no other
(Don't let it be, don't let it be)
You're the other one in view
(Don't let it be!)

Easier Lyrics

[Chorus]
It's easier to just walk away
I know you'll see brighter days along the way
[Interlude]
[Verse 1]
I've been shaped by peaks and valleys
Found a plateau where I cursed at the sky
Sometimes I feel that the rain falls for me
Bound to the flesh 'til the day that I die
[Chorus]
It's easier to just walk away
I know you'll see brighter days along the way
[Verse 2]
Days like this come as days go
And all that you love just as soon be goodbyes
What was so far for so long now behind me
Yes, I'll hold applause 'til the end of the ride
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
It's easier to just walk away
I know you'll see brighter days along the way
It's easier to just walk away
I know you'll see brighter days along the way

(D)eath Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my dreams
I awake as daylight breaks and wash my face
Put my bedroom back in its place
And tucked away
Write a note of a few things I want to say
And leave it on the fireplace
And in my dreams, another day
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
In my dreams
I stare out in the distance of the city scene
From way up here, it's so serene
There's nothing said
As I make myself more comfortable with the edge
I leap into the darkest night
Wind on my face, it satisfiеs
I never have fеlt so alive
And in my dreams, I fly away
