My War Lyrics

[Chorus]
My war, you're one of them
You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them
[Verse 1]
You don't wanna see me live
You don't want me to give
'Cause you're one of them
[Chorus]
My war, you're one of them
You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them
Them, them, them, them, them
Yeah!
[Screams]
[Chorus]
War, you're one of them
You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them
[Verse 2]
I might not know what a friend is
All I know is what you're not
'Cause you're one of them, them
[Chorus]
My war, you're one of them
You said that you're my friend
But you're one of them
One of them, one of them
You're one of them
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah!
You're one of them
This time, this time
This lie
My life, my death
[Bridge]
I have a prediction
It lives in my brain
It's with me everyday
It drives me insane
I feel it in my heart that if I had a gun
I feel it in my heart, I'd wanna kill some
I feel it in my heart, the end will come, come on
[Chorus]
My war, you're one of them
You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them
[Verse 3]
Tell me that I'm wrong
Try to sing me your ego song
You're one of them
[Chorus]
My war, you're one of them
You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them
You're one of them
You're one of them
[Screams]
[Outro]
Oh, you're one of them
You're one of them
I can't believe you
You're one of them
And you're one of them
And you're one of them
And you're one of them
One of them, them, them
Them, them, them, them, them
My war!

Can't Decide Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sun's comin' up and I can't decide
To spill my emotions or keep 'em inside
Go for a drive, go to the store
I'm lookin' for somethin' that can't be found there
I always wear a smile
Because anything but a smile
Would make me have to explain
And they wouldn't understand anyway
[Chorus]
I conceal my feelings so I won't have to explain
What I can't explain anyway
I can't decide, can't decide
Can't decide anything
I can't decide, I can't decide
I can't decide anything
[Verse 2]
Every time I open my mouth
I always wish I had kept it shut
I gotta spill my guts, but I don't dare
I take a look around; I know that no one else cares
I always wear a smile
Because anything but a smile
Would make me have to explain
And they wouldn't understand anyway
[Chorus]
I conceal my feelings so I won't have to explain
What I can't explain anyway
I can't decide, can't decide
Can't decide anything
I can't decide, I can't decide
I can't decide anything
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
I conceal my feelings so I won't have to explain
What I can't explain anyway
I can't decide, can't decide
Can't decide anything
I can't decide, I can't decide
I can't decide anything
[Verse 3]
Sun's comin' up, I still can't decide
To spill my emotions or keep 'em inside
Goin' for a drive, then I'm goin' to the store
I'm lookin' for somethin', but I still don't know what for
I always wear a smile
Because anything but a smile
Would make me have to explain
And they wouldn't understand anyway
[Chorus]
I conceal my feelings so I won't have to explain
What I can't explain anyway
I can't decide, I can't decide
Can't decide anything
Can't decide, I can't decide
I can't decide anything
No, no!
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow

Beat My Head Against the Wall Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Beat my head against the wall one more time
Will this solve my problems at all?
I don't care about parties or a good time
I won't stand in your line
[Chorus]
Swimmin' in the mainstream
Is such a lame dream
No method to the madness
Beat my head against the wall
[Verse 2]
Tension builds up so quickly
My judgment becomes affected
And without my even knowin' it
I have started to act like a bitch
[Chorus]
Swimmin' in the mainstream
Is such a lame, lame dream
No method to the madness
Beat my head against the wall
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Running around like a chicken without a head
Pardon me for bouncing around in bed
But the next day, I'll still feel the same
I'll find a way to blast again
[Chorus]
Swimmin' in the mainstream
Is such a lame, lame dream
No method to the madness
Beat my head against the wall

I Love You Lyrics

[Verse]
I put my fist through the door
I hate myself for you
I love you
Suspicion rules my very soul
My knives are sharp, my thoughts are cold
I love you, I love you
Because I love you
I can't talk, I can't think
My feelings burn inside of me
I love you
I run through the door to the liquor store
The doors are closed, the tension grows
I love you, I love you
Because I love you
I practice my knife, I feel the power
I look in the mirror, and I-I wanna destroy her
I love you
I gave you my life, but what did I get
Now it's time to take it back
I love you, I love you
Because I love you
I hear a car, your footsteps outside
Knife in hand, love in heart
Sweating, I wait
I love you
You screamed, you bled, you laid on the floor
But now I know that you won't leave me no more
I love you, I love you
Because I love you

Forever Time Lyrics

[Verse]
Time, time, time, forever time
It's time to walk by me one last time
It's time
At first, relax, get set
Get your message from time
Time, time, time
Time, time, time, forever time
It's time to look into my eyes one last time
It's time
I feel I'm some kind of death machine
With skin and muscles and a heart that pumps my blood
Time, time, time
Go ahead!
[Verse]
Time, time, time, forever time
It's time to kiss me goodbye one last time
It's time
This is the first time, this is the last time
It's my only time, but it's only time
Time, time, time, time

The Swinging Man Lyrics

[Intro]
Swinging man, swinging man, swinging man, swinging man, swinging man
Hanging around, hanging around, hanging around, hanging around
[Verse]
I'm the swinging man
And my feet never touch the ground
Never touch the ground
I'm swinging man, swinging man, swinging man, swinging man
I swing back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
I was looking for a little warmth
But I didn't find nothin'
So now I'm hanging around
Swinging man hanging around
Swinging man feeling no pain
Feeling no pain
Feeling no pain
No pain
No pain
All the girls know my name
I go by swinging man
Swinging man
Swinging man
I tell you what, you get yourself together
And you go downtown, you come on home
And I'll still be hanging around
Because I'm the swinging man
And my feet never touch the ground
I am the swinging man
And my feet never touch the ground
Feeling no pain
No pain
If you love me, you'll cut me down
But if not, I'll still be hangin' around 'cause
I'm the swinging man
And my feet never touch the ground
I am the swinging man
Swinging man, swinging man, swinging man, swinging man

Nothing Left Inside Lyrics

[Chorus]
Nothing, nothing
Nothing left inside
[Verse 1]
Love, love
Nothing left inside
Pain in my heart, pain hurts my heart
Nothing left inside
[Verse 2]
Lies, your lies
Nothing left inside
I built it up, I broke it down
Nothing left inside
[Verse 3]
Leech, drain me dry
Nothing left inside
[Verse 4]
Lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely boy
Nothing left inside
I wanna see you
I wanna see you
I want you to see my eyes
[Chorus]
Nothing, nothing
Nothing left inside
Nothing, nothing
Nothing left inside
Nothing left inside
Nothing left inside
Nothing left inside
Nothing left inside

Three Nights Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tonight, I sit right down in my room
Going over it and over it and over it again
Something's got a hold of me
And I just can't seem to shake myself loose
Let me go, let me go
I'm surely breakin' up
Tonight I'm gonna make that body pay, tonight I'm gonna make that body scream
Tonight I'm gonna drop to my knees
[Refrain]
I want you to feel like you make me feel
I hope that I'm gonna make you feel
Like you make me feel
Like you always
[Verse 2]
There's a lover in my heart, killer in my hands
Whiskey on my breath
Someone handed me a ladder
And for the longest time I've been climbing to the bottom of it
Someone reached out and gave me their hand
And for the longest time I've been tryin' to dislodge my teeth from it
My life's a piece of shit that got caught in my shoe
And I've been grinding that stink into the dirt for a long time now
Now, now, now
[Refrain]
I wanna make you feel like you make me feel
I wanna make you feel like you make me feel
Now, now, now, now
Now
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
I think you stuck my friend with knives
Dragged him out so he could die
One in his heart and three in each side
Knives
One in his heart and three in each side
One in his heart and three in each side
Knives
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
Stick me
Stick me (Stick me)
Knives (Stick me)
One in his heart and three in each side
One in his heart and three in each side
Knives, knives, knives
Go ahead
Stick me, stick me, stick me
Knives
Knives, no (Stick me, stick me, stick me, stick me, stick me)

Scream Lyrics

Supposed to act mature
I've got better things to do
Than listen to you
I listen and listen and listen
And listen and listen
I get fed up
I'm supposed to keep it together
Supposed to keep my cool
Yeah, I keep my cool
I'll show you how I keep my cool
I blow my cool, I blow my cool
I blow my cool all over the place
All over the place
I might be a big baby
But I'll scream in your ear
'Til I find out, until I find out
Just what it is I am doing here
Until then, until then
Until then, until then
