A New Game Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hunger inside me that's always rising

To quench is to kill

Lusting enemy, but you don't know me

Snatched against your will

To satisfy me, pick my victim

Stealth is me (Those poor little girls)

So charming, say all the right things

Just come with me (Let's go for a ride)

[Pre-Chorus]

Trust me, believe me

Don't be so deceiving

God help me, restrain me

From bloodlust and beatings

[Chorus]

I just wanna play

A new game

[Verse 2]

The hunter within me that's always searching

Thirst for the kill

Abducted, take away, cursed with the patience

Of a thousand men

Peel my eyes, lock on target

The covert man (You never had a chance)

Don't be alarmed, want some candy?

Just right over here (Now get inside)

[Pre-Chorus]

Trust me, believe me

Don't be so deceiving

God help me, restrain me

From bloodlust and beatings

[Chorus]

I just wanna play

A new

I just wanna play, I just wanna play

I just wanna play a game

A new game

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

You meant everything to me

But now your nightmare's come

Another broken doll to me

But now your nightmare's come

You meant everything to me

But now your nightmare's come

Another broken doll to me

But now your nightmare's come

[Refrain]

Let's take a ride

Come with me now

[Chorus]

I just wanna play

I just wanna play a game

One that you've never played before

One that you'll never play again, I'm sure

[Outro]

I just wanna play (I just wanna play)

I just wanna play a game (I just wanna play a game)

One that you've never played before (Played before)

One that you'll never play again, I'm sure

I just wanna play (I just wanna play)

I just wanna play a game (I just wanna play a game)

One that you've never played before (Played before)

One that you'll never play again, I'm sure

I just wanna play (I just wanna play)

I just wanna play a game (I just wanna play a game)

One that you've never played before (Played before)

One that you'll never play again, I'm sure

I just wanna play (I just wanna play)

I just wanna play a game (I just wanna play a game)

One that you've never played before (Played before)

One that you'll never play again, I'm sure

Dull Boy Lyrics

[Intro]

All work and no play, makes me a dull boy

[Verse 1]

Live in a secret, live in a lie

Live in a dark hole beneath the black sky

Live like a martyr and draw my last breath

Feel like an old man with a knife in my chest

[Verse 2]

Live like a transient

Live like a thief

Hide in your closet, Grinding my teeth

Sit in a small room with the walls closing in

Open the shutters but everything's still dim

[Pre-Chorus]

Payback

For all the things

I've done in my past

Payback

For everything

There are no takebacks

[Chorus 1]

I'm not the reason

It's not my fault

It's not my problem

I'm not the cause

I'm not your scapegoat

I'm not your god

I'm not your martyr

I'd leave you all

[Chorus 2]

I'm not the reason

(I'm not your scapegoat)

It's not my fault

(I'm not your god)

It's not my problem

(I'm not your martyr)

I'm not the cause

(I'd leave you all)

[Verse 3]

Work and no play makes me a dull boy

Feel like a clown without my funny nose

Walk to the window, break it out with my fist

Jump from the sill and I plunge to my death

[Verse 4]

You call me selfish, whatever ya think

Throw back my pills and take a sip of my drink

Walk under the clouds

Walk under the trees

Always a canopy covering me

[Pre-Chorus]

Payback

For all the things

I've done in my past

[Chorus 1]

I'm not the reason

It's not my fault

It's not my problem

I'm not the cause

I'm not your scapegoat

I'm not your god

I'm not your martyr

I'd leave you all

[Chorus 2]

I'm not the reason

(I'm not your scapegoat)

It's not my fault

(I'm not your god)

It's not my problem

(I'm not your martyr)

I'm not the cause

(I'd leave you all)

[Bridge]

Sunshine's gone (it's all gone)

By the way

Just so you know

Always

This is how I feel

By the way

Just so you know

Always, every day

This is how I feel

[Chorus 3]

I'm not the reason

It's not my fault

It's not my problem

I'm not the cause

I'm not your scapegoat

(I'm not your scapegoat)

I'm not your god

(I'm not your god)

I'm not your martyr

(I'm not your martyr)

This is how I feel

(This is how I feel)

[Outro]

By the way

Just so you know

Always, every day

This is how I feel

Never Enough Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My legs are weary

But I still walk

My hands are sore and broken

But I still clutch

My heart is jaded

But I still love

My cup is empty

But I still pour

[Pre-Chorus]

All I ever want to be

All I ever needed to be

Was whatever you wanted me to

But you took that from me, yeah

[Chorus]

I was never enough for you

I should have known

I should've known

I was never enough for you

Don't waste my time

Don't waste my

[Verse 2]

I lost the feeling

But I still touch

I stopped believing

But I still trust

[Pre-Chorus]

All I ever want to be

All I ever needed to be

Was whatever you wanted me to

But you took that from me, yeah

[Chorus]

I was never enough for you

I should have known

I should've known

I was never enough for you

Don't waste my time

[Bridge]

All these questions asking why

I'll just close my eyes (My eyes)

All these people asking why

I'll just wave goodbye (Goodbye)

Time, pushin' forward

I'm sick and tired

Need a little shelter

Drag the glass across my eyes

Gut me open, gut me wide

Bleed me for the winner

Just tear it away

[Chorus]

I was never enough for you

I should have known

I should've known

I was never enough for you

Don't waste my time

[Outro]

I was never enough for you

Just wastin' time

Don't waste mine

We the People Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I thought "We the People" had a brain

I thought "We the People" had a say

Coulda sworn I read it somewhere

Mighta seen it on a bumper sticker

I thought "We the People" had a right

I guess "We the People" were wrong

"We the People" always are

Let's go elect another god

[Verse 2]

The laws they make

I don't give a damn anyway

Rules are made to break

To bend, to beat, to buy

The American dream

Or a bag of magic beans

You can find it on TV

Whatever you need

[Chorus]

Send me your tired

Your poor and broken

Send me your life

So I can break you

[Post-Chorus]

"We the People" can have a plan

"We the People" can make a stand

[Verse 3]

Coulda swore I read it somewhere

Might've seen it in the funny papers

Your money's made to take

To cheat, to steal, to rob

I can sell you a dream

Fat's bustin' at the seams

You can get it on the TV

Whatever you need

[Chorus]

Send me your tired

Your poor and broken

Send me your life

So I can break you

Give me your trust

Your faith and wishes

Give me your life

So I can own you

Control you

[Post-Chorus]

Own, buy, sell out

[Bridge]

Every day, there's something new to try

Every day, there's something new to buy

Every day, there's a new American dream

Goin' broke in the land of opportunity

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Send me your tired

Your poor and broken

Send me your life

So I can break you

Give me your trust

Steal faith and wishes

Give me your life

So I can own you

King of Pain Lyrics

6 ContributorsKing of Pain LyricsThere's a little black spot on the sun today

It's the same old thing as yesterday

There's a black hat caught in a high tree top

There's a flag pole rag, and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running round my brain

I've always thought that you'd end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today

(That's my soul up there)

It's the same old thing as yesterday

(That's my soul up there)

There's a black hat caught in a high tree top

(That's my soul up there)

There's a flag pole rag, and the wind won't stop

(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running round my brain

I've always thought that you'd end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall

(That's my soul up there)

There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall

(That's my soul up there)

There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb

(That's my soul up there)

There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web

(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running round my brain

I've always thought that you'd end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out

There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt

There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed

There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

King of pain

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack

(It's my soul up there)

There's a black winged gull with a broken back

(It's my soul up there)

There's a little black spot on the sun today

It's the same old shit as yesterday

(As every day)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running round my brain

I've always thought that you'd end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

King of pain, king of pain, king of pain

I'll always be king of pain

I'll always be king of pain...

Happy? (demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

In this hole, that is me

The dead are rolling over

In this hole thickening

Dirt shoveled over shoulders

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I feel it in me, so overwhelmed

Oh, this pressured center rising

My life overturned, unfair the despair

All these scars keep ripping open

[Chorus]

Peel me from the skin

Tear me from the rind

Does it make you happy now?

Tear meat from the bone

Tear me from myself

Are you feeling happy now?

[Verse 2]

In this hole, that is me

A life that's growing feeble

In this hole, so limiting

The sun has set, all darkens

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Buried underneath, hands slip off the wheel

Internal path-way to contention

[Chorus]

Peel me from the skin

Tear me from the rind

Does it make you happy now?

Tear meat from the bone

Tear me from myself

Are you feeling happy now?

[Bridge]

(Are you) happy?

Are you feeling happy?

In this hole that is me, left with a heart exhausted

What's my release? What sets me free?

Do you pull me up just to push me down again?

[Chorus]

Peel me from the skin

Tear me from the rind

Does it make you happy now?

Tear meat from the bone

Tear me from myself

Are you feeling happy now?

[Outro]

Peel me from the skin

(Peel me from the skin)

Tear me from the rind

Does it make you happy now?

Tear me from the bone

(Tear me from the bone)

Tear me from myself

Are you feeling happy now?

Does it make you happy?

Are you feeling happy?

Are you fucking happy?

Now that I'm lost, left with nothing

Does it make you happy?

Are you feeling happy?

Are you fucking happy?

Now that I'm lost, left with nothing!

Forget to Remember (acoustic) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

What have I done?

Where have I come from?

When I burnt the backs with the sun through a glass

Did I seal the loss that's become me?

Feeling undone

What have I become?

When I turned my back on you, I turned my back on myself

And became this machine

Thoughtlessness

(I feel) Selfishness

(I feel) Hopelessness

(I feel) Arrogant

[Chorus]

I feel it on the inside (Inside)

Twisting and contorting

Memory has shaped me once again

Still feel you on the inside (Inside)

Biting through and stinging

Will I ever forget to remember?

[Verse 2]

Shadows in the sun

Filter through us

Still wrestle the demons that arrested me as a child

Confession rejected

We grow up

To give up

People step on the cracks for wounds owed paid back

Through the words of surrender

Emptiness

(I feel) Loneliness

(I feel) Listlessness

(I feel) Worthless

[Chorus]

I feel it on the inside (Inside)

Twisting and contorting

Memory has shaped me once again

Still feel you on the inside (Inside)

Biting through and stinging

Will I ever forget to remember?

[Bridge]

Can you save me?

From myself (Myself)

From these memories

Can you save me?

From myself (Myself)

From these memories

Surrender to the shadows

Haunting inside, bleeding through you

Surrender to the secrets

Inside, lies within you

[Chorus]

I feel it on the inside (Inside)

Twisting and contorting

Memory has shaped me once again

Still feel you on the inside (Inside)

Biting through and stinging

Will I ever forget to remember?

Can't feel you on the inside (Inside)

Set down the bag and left it

Lost memory has left me one again

Open up the inside (Inside)

Admission for the cleansing

Now that I've forgotten to remember

[Outro]

Surrender to the shadows

Haunting inside, bleeding through you

Not Falling (demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Always, known in, all my time

A little left of center now

Reflect as I realize

That all I need is to find the middle pillar path to sit like the sun by a star in the sky and just be

Sinners, casting stones at me

[Chorus]

I, I stand, not crawling

Not falling down

I, I bleed the demons

That drag me down

I, I stand (For nothing)

Not crawling (The center)

Not falling down (Of calms within the eye)

I, I'll bleed (For no one)

The demons (But myself)

That pull me down (For me and no one else)

[Verse 2]

Goodbye, sunshine, I've put it out again, sad

I'm over, personalities, conflicting

I don't need you, or anyone, but me

I'll just be, living my own life

I feel my glowing center grow, infecting

I feel alive

Shovel dirt over lime

Plant it in myself to sit like a seed under covers of earth and just be

Sinners, pointing fingers at me

[Chorus]

I, I stand (For nothing)

Not crawling (By myself)

Not falling down

I, I'll bleed (or no one)

The demons (But myself)

That drag me down

I, I stand (For nothing)

Not crawling (The center)

Not falling down (Of calms within the eye)

I, I'll bleed (For no one)

The demons (But myself)

That pull me down (For me and no one else)

[Bridge]

Come play kill (Refuse my body, refuse my shadow)

Stone cold will (Refuse to lead this, refuse to follow)

Bitter pills (Refuse to feed this, refuse to swallow)

I'm fueled godless

Come play, come play (Kill)

Just be, just be, just be, just be, just be, just be

[Chorus]

I, I stand (For nothing)

Not crawling (By myself)

Not falling down

I, I'll bleed (For no one)

The demons (But myself)

That drag me down

I, I stand (For nothing)

Not crawling (The center)

Not falling down (Of calms within the eye)

I, I'll bleed (For no one)

The demons (But myself)

That drag me down (For me and no one else)

Fall Into Sleep (demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Dreams of earthquakes

Dreams of hurricanes

Dreams of pouring rain

Dreams of tidal waves (to wash us all away)

Dreams of guns blazed

Dreams of fire rage

Dreams of swollen graves

Dreams of hollow pain

All gone

[Pre-Chorus]

No more fallen

No more enemy

No more casualty

No more dream

[Chorus]

Fall into sleep

Fall into me

I have a dream

But nobody cares

Nobody wants to listen

Fall into sleep

Fall into me

Hang onto a dream

That nobody wants

Nobody cares anymore

[Verse 2]

Dreams of mourning grief

Dreams of disbelief

Dreams of tragedy

Dreams of our disease (to take us all away)

Dreams of fidelity

Dreams of inner peace

Dreams of loyalty

Dreams of unity

All gone

[Chorus]

Fall into sleep

Fall into me

I have a dream

But nobody cares

Nobody wants to listen

Fall into sleep

Fall into me

Hang onto a dream

That nobody wants

Nobody cares anymore

[Bridge]

The angels are injured

Fall with broken burning wings

Are we dead inside

Are we blind

We can't keep moving forward

Backwards with closed eyes

We're losing sight

All lost inside

[Pre-Chorus]

No more fallen

No more enemy

[Chorus]

Fall into sleep

Fall into me

I have a dream

But nobody cares

Nobody wants to listen

Fall into sleep

Fall into me

Hang onto a dream

That nobody wants

Nobody cares

Nobody wants

Nobody cares anymore

[Outro]

All gone

On the Move (demo) Lyrics

8 ContributorsOn the Move LyricsPack up my shit I'm on the road like Kerouac (Whooo)

Found tranquility in the cover that holds me (Down down)

People I've query I'm always on the move (Get more)

Set it up pack it up giddy up giddy up, whooo!

I love it, whooo!

I hate it

Rolling Stones gather no moss, so lets go

Not a life, not a love

Not a mother fucking minute to spare (God damn)

Three sixty-five, twenty-four seven on the move (Hey)

Gotta go gotta go gotta hurry up and get there (Now)

I'm living the life (Whooo!)

Without the life (God damn)

Gotta make it today to live up on the stage (Hey)

So I'm blowing it up like a high school game

I know my place is on this road, my sad story

Reflect on all the things that fell behind, can't be sorry

I will follow my life and all the curves that it throws me

Just when I think that I've found my home - I'm gone

When my worlds only gonna P to TM

We'll be choppin' him dead inside, until I'm dead (Yeah)

Keep my hat on my head can't hang it without a home

Gotta push it more and this way I am alone (Hey)

I'm living the life (Whooo!)

Without the life (God damn)

Gotta make it today to live up on the stage (Hey)

So I'm blowing it up like a high school game

I know my place is on this road, my sad story

Reflect on all the things that fell behind, can't be sorry

I will follow my life and all the curves that it throws me

Just when I think that I've found my home - I'm gone

This circus cycle family

If faces aren't so strange

Faces becoming more familiar

Day by day

Sharing becomes closer

Day by day

The world becomes our home

Day - We'll turn up with nothing

Night - But we'll be back sometime

Day - If its ready I'm ready

Night - I've lived a life today

Day - I'm healing the bleeding

Night - Dead now to back alive

Day - I've been through another

Day - I'm living the life, yeah right

I know my place is on this road, I can't be sorry

Reflect on all the words that fell aside, my tragedy

I have followed my life and all the curves that it's thrown me

Now at least I know I've found my home

Where I belong!

World So Cold (live) Lyrics

9 ContributorsWorld So Cold LyricsWhen passion's lost and all the trust is gone

Way too far, for way too long

Children crying, cast out and neglected

Only in a world so cold, only in a world

This cold

Hold the hand of your best friend, look into their eyes

Then watch them drift away

Some might say, we've done the wrong things

For way too long, for way too long

Fever inside the storm

So I'm turning away

Away from the name

(Calling your names)

Away from the stones

(Throw sticks and stones)

Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

Keep your thorns

Cause I'm running away

Away from the games

(Fucking head games)

Away from the space

(Hate this head space)

The circumstances of a world so cold

Burning whispers remind me of the days

I was left alone in a world this cold

Guilty of the same things, provoked by the cause

I've left alone in a world so cold

Fever inside the storm

So I'm turning away

Away from the name

(Calling your names)

Away from the stones

(Throw sticks and stones)

Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

Keep your thorns

Cause I'm running away

Away from the games

(Fucking head games)

Away from the space

(Hate this head space)

The circumstances of a world so cold

I'm flying, I'm flying away

Away from the names

(Calling your names)

Away from the games

(Fucking head games)

The circumstances of a world so cold

Why does everyone feel like my enemy

Don't want any part of depression or

Darkness, I've had enough

Sick and tired, bring the sun, or I'm gone

Or I'm gone

I'm backing out, I'm no pawn

No mother-fucking slave to this

Never lied

Never left

Never lived

Never loved

Never lost

Never hurt

Never worry about being me, or anyone else

Not a care, no concern, don't give a shit about

Anything

Backing out, giving up, no mother-fucking

Slave to this

Never lied

Never left

Never lived

Never loved

Never lost

Never hurt

Never worry about being me, or anyone else

Not a care, no concern, don't give a shit about

Anything

I need to find a darkened corner

A lightless corner

Where it's safer and calmer

I'm turning away

Away from the name

(Calling your names)

Away from the stones

(Throw sticks and stones)

Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

I'm running away

Away from the games

(Fucking head games)

Away from the space

(Hate this head space)

The circumstances of a world so cold

I'm flying, I'm flying away

Away from the names

(Calling your names)

Away from the games

(Fucking head games)

The circumstances of a world so cold

Goodbye (demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Pendulum stops then falls away

Life sifted through like sand

Storms of summer rain

Flooding lifelines in our hands

Our skin of blood and bone

Gently closed to dust and blows

Our home of blood and bone

Pours through the ground and sows

[Refrain]

So unstoppable

My love for you

So unstoppable

Memories of you

[Chorus]

Just remember, when everything seems difficult

I'll be the wish upon a star

I found this place, so magical

Goodbye

[Post-Chorus]

I'll see you again, goodbye

See you again

[Verse 2]

Brilliant colors rise

Precious circle is mended

Sense vertigo in you

So I'll be your handle

[Refrain]

So unstoppable

My love for you

So unstoppable

Memories of you

[Chorus]

Just remember, when everything seems difficult

I'll be the wish upon a star

I found this place, so magical

I still plead

[Bridge]

Someone help me

Grab me, and save me now

Distressed, darkened

Daylight, I've lost sight

Someone help me

Grab me, and save me now

Distressed, darkened

Daylight, I've lost sight

[Outro]

Just remember, when everything seems miserable

I'll be the wish upon a star

I found a place, so magical

You've gone so far

Just remember, when everything seems difficult

I'll be watching from afar

When it feels like things have gone away

I'll see you again

See you again, goodbye
