The Pretender Lyrics
[Intro]
Keep you in the dark, you know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark and so it all began
[Verse 1]
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marchin' in again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished makin' sense
Done pleading ignorance, that whole defense
Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinnin' me, it's never ending, never ending
Same old story
[Chorus]
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
[Verse 2]
In time or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent, we're temporary, temporary
Same old story
[Chorus]
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender? Oh
[Bridge]
I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrorin' your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that'll take you down
Bring you to your knees
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
(Keep you in the dark, you know they all pretend)
[Chorus]
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
[Outro]
What if I say I'm not like the others? (Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? (You know they all)
You're the pretender (Pretend)
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others? (Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? (You know they all)
You're the pretender (Pretend)
What if I say I will never surrender?
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Let It Die Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A heart of gold, but it lost its pride
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes
I've seen your face in another light
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
[Chorus 1]
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
In too deep and out of time
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
[Verse 2]
A simple man and his blushin' bride
(Why'd you have to go and let it die?)
Intravenous, intertwined
(Why'd you have to go and let it die?)
Heart's gone cold, your hands were tied
(Why'd you have to go and let it die?)
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
(Why'd you have to go and let it die?)
[Chorus 1]
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
In too deep and out of time
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
[Bridge]
Do you ever think of me?
You're so considerate
Do you ever think of me?
Oh, so considerate
[Chorus 2]
In too deep and lost in time
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Heart's gone cold and hands are tied
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
[Bridge]
Do you ever think of me?
You're so considerate
Did you ever think of me?
Oh, so considerate
[Chorus 2]
In too deep and lost in time
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Heart's gone cold and hands are tied
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let this die?
[Outro]
Why'd you have to go and let this die?!
Why'd you have to go and let this die?!
Why'd you have to go and let this die?!
Why'd you have to go and let it die?!
Long Road to Ruin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here now, don't make a sound
Say, have you heard the news today?
One flag was taken down
To raise another in its place
A heavy cross you bear
A stubborn heart remains unchanged
No home, no life, no love
No stranger singin' in your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe the season
The colors change in the valley skies
Dear God, I've sealed my fate
Runnin' through Hell, heaven can wait
[Chorus]
Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight
[Verse 2]
Let's say we take this town
No king or queen of any state
Get up to shut it down
Open the streets and raise the gates
I know one wall to scale
I know a field without a name
Head on without a care
Before it's way too late
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe the season
The colors change in the valley skies
Oh, God, I've sealed my fate
Runnin' through Hell, heaven can wait
[Chorus]
Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead ends
Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight
[Bridge]
For every piece to fall in place
Forever gone without a trace
Your horizon takes its shape
No turnin' back, don't turn that page
Come now, I'm leavin' here tonight
Come now, let's leave it all behind
Is that the price you pay?
Runnin' through Hell, heaven can wait
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead ends
Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead ends
Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight
Come Alive Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Seems like only yesterday life belonged to runaways
Nothin' here to see, no lookin' back
Every sound monotone, every color monochrome
Life began to fade into the black
Such a simple animal, sterilized with alcohol
I could hardly feel me anymore
Desperate, meaningless, all filled up with emptiness
Felt like everythin' was said and done
[Chorus]
I lay there in the dark and I closed my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
[Verse 2]
Still, I tried to find my way, spinnin' hours into days
Burnin' like a flame behind my eyes
Drown it out, drink it in, crown the king of sufferin'
Prisoner, a slave to the disguise
Disappeared the only thing, bittersweet surrenderin'
Knew that it was time to say goodbye
[Chorus]
And I lay there in the dark and I closed my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
No reason left me to survive
You saved me the day you came alive
[Post-Chorus]
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
[Chorus]
I lay there in the dark and I closed my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
[Post-Chorus]
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive! Come alive!
Come alive! Come alive! Come alive!
[Bridge]
Nothin' more to give
I can finally live, come alive
Your life into me
I can finally breathe, come alive
[Chorus]
I lay there in the dark, open my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
[Outro]
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive! Come alive! Come alive!
Stranger Things Have Happened Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Goddamn this dusty room, this hazy afternoon
I'm breathin' in this silence like never before
This feelin' that I get, this one last cigarette
As I lay awake and wait for you to come through that door
Oh, maybe, maybe, maybe I can share it with you
I'll behave, I'll behave, I'll behave so I can share it with you
[Chorus]
You are not alone, dear loneliness
You forgot, but I remember this
Oh, stranger, stranger
Stranger things have happened, I know
I'm not alone, dear loneliness
I forgot that I remember this
So stranger, stranger
Stranger things have happened, I know
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
And I dream about somewhere, a smoke will fill the air
As I lay awake and wait for you to walk out that door
I can change, I can change, I can change, but who you want me to be?
I'm the same, I'm the same, I'm the same, oh, do you want me to be?
[Chorus]
You are not alone, dear loneliness
You forgot, but I remember this
Oh, stranger, stranger
Stranger things have happened, I know
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I am not alone, dear loneliness
I forgot that I remember this
You are not alone, dear loneliness
You forgot, but I remember this
Oh, stranger, stranger
Stranger things have happened, I know
I am not alone, dear loneliness
I forgot that I remember this
Oh, stranger, stranger
Stranger things have happened, I know
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make Up Is Running) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It was meant to be, but all along, it never meant a thing
Never stopped to ask you why you didn't pass me by
Did you see me when your life flashed before your eyes?
Was it just that I wasn't hard enough, hard enough for you?
[Pre-Chorus]
(Stop, stop, stop...)
Stop usin' my
Confusion
Wait, wait
[Chorus]
There's a world out there (There's a world out there)
Don't you deny me (Don't you deny me)
Give me one last wish (Give me one last wish)
There's a world out there
[Verse 2]
Elementary, I solved them all, all your mysteries
Settle down and in good time, we can solve all mine
Tell me lies or tell me when, tell me off again
And I will let you know when I've had enough, had enough of you
[Pre-Chorus]
(Stop, stop, stop...)
Stop usin' my
Confusion
Wait, wait
[Chorus]
There's a world out there (There's a world out there)
Don't you deny me (Don't you deny me)
Give me one last wish (There's a world out there)
There's a world out there (Don't you deny me)
[Bridge]
I know you've got your reasons, hey, let's call it even
Turn out all the lights and go to bed
Still I get this feelin' no one will believe me
When I let these ghosts outside my head
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
There's a world out there (There's a world out there)
Don't you deny me (Don't you deny me)
Give me one last wish (Give me one last wish)
Don't you deny me (Don't you deny me)
There's a world out there (There's a world out there)
Don't you deny me (Don't you deny me)
Give me one last wish (There's a world out there)
There's a world out there (Don't you deny me)
Summer’s End Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Early mornin' without warnin' woke me with a scare
I had that dream again
That the sun was dead
Make me warm or take me home, it's so cold in here
Can't we meet somewhere
Is it winter there? Is it winter there?
This winter
[Chorus]
Meet me in the summertime, we can move the air
Sweet Virginia countryside, I will meet you there
Bloody lips and cherry wine, moonshine in your hair
Just keep starin' at the sun, pray for summer's end
[Verse 2]
Come on over, brave my storm, oceans overhead
Come inside, my friend
Gettin' bad out there
Every moment we have stolen, all we had to share
No one wanted them
But you know I did, you know I did
This moment
[Chorus]
Meet me in the summertime, we can move the air
Sweet Virginia countryside, I will meet you there
Bloody lips and cherry wine, moonshine in your hair
Just keep starin' at the sun, pray for summer's end
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Meet me in the summertime, we can move the air
Sweet Virginia countryside, I will meet you there
Bloody lips and cherry wine, moonshine in your hair
Just keep starin' at the sun, pray for summer's end
[Outro]
Meet me in the summertime
Meet me in the summertime
Meet me in the summertime, we can move the air
Meet me in the summertime, I will meet you there
Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners Lyrics
[Instrumental]
Statues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You and I were two old and tortured souls
Repaired by a love of broken things
In a life, just some bodies growin' old
No fear of the end, of anything
[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually
[Verse 2]
We got by, though we never needed much
A sliver of hope, no diamond rings
We got high, it was heaven, it was hell
Flyin' over them, with broken wings
[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually
(Oh-oh)
Just two ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually
[Bridge]
Our bones forever in stone
Monuments of life
To dust, as everything must
Fade away in time, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually
(Oh-oh)
Just two ordinary people, you and me
(Oh-oh)
Time will turn us into statues, eventually
But, Honestly Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Where you off to with that head of yours?
Is there somewhere you should be?
Was it something that I said the time I held you down
And told you it's not you, it's only me?
Maybe
[Chorus: Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins]
Don't take what I don't need
(Give me back my peace of mind)
Don't say what I don't mean
(Give me back my precious time)
No way you'll silence me
You'll see
[Verse 2]
What you up to now your mirror's gone?
Is there someone you should be?
Did you think I was just foolin' 'round with you?
But, honestly
But, honestly
But, honestly
[Chorus: Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins]
Don't take what I don't need
(Give me back my peace of mind)
Don't say what I don't mean
(Give me back my precious time)
No way you'll silence me
(Give me back my peace and quiet)
Nowhere to hide from me
You'll see
[Bridge]
And tonight I thank the stars, as I count my lucky scars
For everything you've given me
And all the wants I gave to you, something borrowed, something blue
If you want them back
I'll give it to you, give it to you
Give it to you, I'll give it to you
Give it to you, give it to you
Give it to you, I'll give it to you
I'll give it to you, give it to you
Give it to you, I'll give it to you
I'll give it to you, give it to you
I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you
[Outro]
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you!
Home Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wish I were with you, but I couldn't stay
Every direction leads me away
Pray for tomorrow, but for today
[Hook]
All I want is to be home
[Verse 2]
Stand in the mirror, you look the same
Just lookin' for shelter from cold and the pain
Someone to cover safe from the rain
[Hook]
And all I want is to be home
[Verse 3]
Echoes and silence, patience and grace
All of these moments I'll never replace
No fear of my heart, absence of faith
[Hook]
And all I want is to be home
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Instrumental Break]
[Hook]
All I want is to be home
[Verse 4]
People I've loved, I have no regrets
Some I remember, some I forget
Some of them living, some of them dead
[Hook]
And all I want is to be home
Once & For All (demo) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh misery, come marshal me in
No better place for me to begin
I'm coming in from out of this rain
The time has come to wash you away
[Pre-Chorus]
The lovers are ridin' again
The lovers are ridin' again
Oh gather 'round, sing your sins
Amen
[Chorus]
My time has come once and for all
My time has come, this means war
[Verse 2]
Oh, bring to me your broken and blue
No matter if it matters to you
A longin' like never before
I've had enough, now I need more
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus 2x]
[Break-Down]
Hey, forgive me, debility
I'll sing you all my sins
[Chorus 2x]
[Outro]
My time has come, this means war
My time has come, this means war
My time has come, this means war
My time has come, this means war
The lovers are ridin' again
The lovers are ridin' again
The lovers are ridin' again
The lovers are ridin' again
