…To Be Loved Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jacoby Shaddix]

Listen up! Turn it up and rock it out!

Party on! I want to hear you scream and shout!

This is real, as real as it gets

I came to get down, to get some fucking respect!

Taking it back to a hardcore level

You better be ready, put your pedal to the metal!

Taking it back to a hardcore level

Better be ready, put your pedal to the metal! (Oh!)

Go!

[Chorus: Jacoby Shaddix / Jerry Horton]

Whoa-oh! I never give in

Whoa-oh! I never give up

Whoa-oh! I never give in

I just want to be—want to be loved

Whoa-oh! I never give in

Whoa-oh! I never give up

Whoa-oh! I never give in

I just want to be—want to be loved

[Verse 2: Jacoby Shaddix]

I want domination

I want your submission

I see you're not resisting

To this temptation

I got one confession

A love deprivation

I got a jet-black heart

It's all fucked up, and it's falling apart

[Chorus: Jacoby Shaddix / Jerry Horton]

Whoa-oh! I never give in

Whoa-oh! I never give up

Whoa-oh! I never give in

I just want to be—want to be loved

Whoa-oh! I never give in

Whoa-oh! I never give up

Whoa-oh! I never give in

I just want to be—want to be loved

[Verse 3: Jacoby Shaddix]

I got another confession

I fell to temptation

And there is no question

There was some connection

Gotta follow my heart

No matter how far

I gotta to roll the dice

Never look back and never think twice

[Chorus: Jacoby Shaddix / Jerry Horton]

Whoa-oh! I never give in

Whoa-oh! I never give up

Whoa-oh! I never give in

I just want to be—want to be loved

Whoa-oh! I never give in

Whoa-oh! I never give up

Whoa-oh! I never give in

I just want to be—want to be loved

[Bridge: Jacoby Shaddix]

Take the past, burn it up and let it go

Carry on, I'm stronger than you'll ever know

That's the deal, you get no respect

You're gonna get yours, you better watch your fucking neck!

Take the past, burn it up and let it go

Carry on, I'm stronger than you'll ever know

That's the deal, you get no respect

You're gonna get yours, you better watch your fucking neck!

[Chorus: Jacoby Shaddix / Jerry Horton]

Whoa-oh! I never give in

Whoa-oh! I never give up

Whoa-oh! I never give in

I just want to be—want to be loved

Whoa-oh! I never give in

Whoa-oh! I never give up

Whoa-oh! I never give in

I just want to be—want to be loved

[Outro: Jacoby Shaddix]

Whoa-oh! I never give in

(Take the past, burn it up and let it go)

Whoa-oh! I never give up

Whoa-oh! I never give in

(Take the past, burn it up and let it go)

I just want to be—want to be loved

Alive (n' Out of Control) Lyrics

[Intro]

Go!

Come on, come on, come on!

[Verse 1]

For crying out loud, I'm running from a comedown

God forbid, I know I've been a letdown

Reaching for the sky while laying in a gutter

Kicking and screaming, I am singing bloody murder

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I am screaming bloody murder

[Chorus]

I'm alive when I'm vulnerable

I'm out of control, I'm losing my soul

I'm alive when I'm vulnerable

I'm out of control, I'm losing my soul

[Verse 2]

I can't be your angel while I'm living like a devil

Can't be your lover while I'm living like a rebel

Don't want your pity and I don't want your help

Don't try and save me, go take care of yourself

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Go take care of yourself

You better take care of yourself

[Chorus]

I'm alive when I'm vulnerable

I'm out of control, I'm losing my soul

I'm alive when I'm vulnerable

I'm out of control, I'm losing my soul

[Verse 3]

(I'm alive!)

Sick of the pain, I'm sick of the sorrow

Sick of today, I'm sick of tomorrow

I'm addicted to the misery in my head

I better stop, before I end up dead

[Bridge]

So I climb to the top

Just to fall to the bottom

And I climb to the top

Just to fall to the bottom

Come on!

Come on, come on, come on!

[Chorus]

I'm alive when I'm vulnerable

I'm out of control, I'm losing my soul

I'm alive when I'm vulnerable

I'm out of control, I'm losing my soul

[Outro]

I can't be your angel while I'm living like a devil

Can't be your lover while I'm living like a rebel

Don't want your pity and I don't want your help

Don't try and save me, go take care of yourself

Crash Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I refuse to be your victim

I refuse to be your slave

I keep on burning my bridges

I keep on fucking up everything

Running from desperation

God knows where I've been

I don't know where I'm headed

But I'm going too fast, I think I'm going to crash

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm going to crash

I'm going to crash, to crash

Yeah!

[Chorus]

It's time for annihilation

It's time to be a criminal

No time for hesitation

Time to be an animal

[Verse 2]

Looking at my reflection

I don't like what I see

So, I ask myself a question:

Do I got what I want, or do I got what I need?

I'm not afraid of the future

Of spinning right out of control

I don't know where I'm headed

But I'm going too fast, I think I'm going to crash

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm going to crash

I'm going to crash, to crash

[Chorus]

It's time for annihilation

It's time to be a criminal

No time for hesitation

Time to be an animal

It's time for annihilation

It's time to be a criminal

No time for hesitation

Time to be an animal

[Verse 3]

I refuse to be a victim

I don't want to fall again

I know where I'm headed

God knows where I've been...

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm going to crash, I'm going to crash

Yeah!

[Chorus]

It's time for annihilation

It's time to be a criminal

No time for hesitation

Time to be an animal

It's time for annihilation

It's time to be a criminal

No time for hesitation

Time to be an animal

[Outro]

Live—love—life!

Live—love—fight!

Live—love—life!

Live—love—fight!

The World Around You Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Somebody falls in love, somebody breaks a heart

We never fell in love, we only fell apart

I'm getting lonely, I need somebody to hold me

I thought I'd never miss her

She cut me out of her pictures

[Chorus]

Take a look at the world around you

Can you see the desperation?

Take a look at the world around you

Can you see the life you're living?

[Verse 2]

Somebody tells the truth, somebody lives a lie

I can see right through, the story is in your eyes

I know what they're saying, there is no need for explaining

There will be nothing better

Than when I burn all your letters

[Chorus]

Take a look at the world around you

Can you see the desperation?

Take a look at the world around you

Can you see the life you're living?

Take a look at the world around you

Can you see the desperation?

Take a look at the world around you

Can you see the life you're living?

[Post-Chorus]

We never fell in love, we only fell apart

[Bridge]

We only fell apart

So we pick up the pieces and put 'em together

We said this was gonna last forever

Pick up the pieces and put 'em together

We said this was gonna last forever

[Chorus]

Take a look at the world around you

Can you see the desperation?

Take a look at the world around you

Can you see the life you're living?

[Post-Chorus]

We never fell in love, we only fell apart

[Outro]

Somebody falls in love, somebody breaks a heart

We never fell in love, we only fell apart

Somebody falls in love, somebody breaks a heart

We never fell in love, we only fell apart

Forever Lyrics

[Verse 1]

In the brightest hour of my darkest day

I realized what is wrong with me

Can't get over you, can't get through to you

It's been a helter-skelter romance from the start

Take these memories that are haunting me

Of a paper man cut into shreds

By his own pair of scissors

He'll never forgive her, he'll never forgive her

[Chorus]

Because days come and go

But my feelings for you are forever

Because days come and go

But my feelings for you are forever

[Verse 2]

Sitting by a fire on a lonely night

Hanging over from another good time

With another girl, little dirty girl

You should listen to this story of a life

You're my heroin

In this moment, I'm lonely, fulfilling my darkest dreams

All these drugs, all these women

I'm never forgiven, this broken heart of mine

[Chorus]

Because days come and go

But my feelings for you are forever

Because days come and go

But my feelings for you are forever

[Bridge]

One last kiss

Before I go

Dry your tears

It is time to let you go

One last kiss (one last kiss)

Before I go (before I go)

Dry your tears (dry your tears)

It is time to let you go

[Chorus]

Because days come and go

But my feelings for you are forever

Because days come and go

But my feelings for you are forever

[Bridge]

One last kiss (one last kiss)

Before I go (before I go)

Dry your tears (dry your tears)

It is time to let you go

[Outro]

One last kiss

Before I go

Dry your tears

It is time to let you go

One last kiss

I Devise My Own Demise Lyrics

[Intro]

I devise my own demise

[Verse 1]

I can't control everything

And I can't forget just what I've seen

These memories take me away

To a better place than I am today

Than I am today!

[Chorus]

I devise my own demise

Here's to life—the life I'm losing

I devise my own demise

Here's to life—the life I'm losing

[Verse 2]

It is time to say hello, goodbye (Hello, goodbye)

To fade away, fade away alone (Motherfuck it, goodbye!)

I just want you to take, take me back home (Take me back home)

To a better place that I've never known

That I've never known!

[Chorus]

I devise my own demise

Here's to life—the life I'm losing

I devise my own demise

Here's to life—the life I'm losing

Yeah, yeah!

Whoa!

[Verse 3]

I can't control everything (Death is the only way out!)

And I can't forget just what I've seen (Death is the only way out!)

These memories take me away

To a better place than I am today

Than I am today!

[Chorus]

I devise my own demise

Here's to life—the life I'm losing

I devise my own demise

Here's to life—the life I'm losing

[Outro]

This life I'm losing (This life I'm losing)

I devise my... own demise

(Own demise, own demise, own demise

Own demise, own demise...)

Time Is Running Out Lyrics

[Intro]

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]

You say I'm looking really bad

You say I'm looking really sick

And I don't even care

I never really did

So when push comes to shove

And I slap you in the face

Just remember one thing...

[Chorus]

When it's time to fill the void

My whole life has been destroyed

And everyone around me says

My time is running out

[Post-Chorus]

I refuse to surrender

[Verse 2]

So when I'm out of control

And I'm out of my mind

Just remember one thing

I think I'm just fine

So catch me when I fall

I won't remember anything at all

So catch me when I fall

[Chorus]

When it's time to fill the void

My whole life has been destroyed

And everyone around me says

My time is running out

[Post-Chorus]

I refuse to surrender

[Refrain]

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

When it's time to fill the void

My whole life has been destroyed

And everyone around me says

My time is running out

When it's time to fill the void

My whole life has been destroyed

And everyone around me says

My time is running out

[Post-Chorus]

I refuse to surrender

I refuse... to surrender

What Do You Do? Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I got a one-way ticket on a hell-bound train

With nothing to lose and nothing to gain

Nobody ever taught me how to live

I'm feeling like I'm lost—like I'll never be found

I'm twisted and I'm turned around

Nobody ever taught me how to love

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm hurting everybody, I'm hurting myself

I'm desperate

[Chorus]

So what do you do

When it all comes down on you?

Do you run and hide

Or face the truth?

So what do you do

When it all comes down on you?

Do you run and hide

Or face the truth?

[Verse 2]

If you were to tell me that I'd die today

This is what I'd have to say

I never really had the time to live

And if you were to give me just another chance

Another life, another dance

All I really want to do is love

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm hurting everybody, I'm hurting myself

I'm desperate

[Chorus]

But what do you do

When it all comes down on you?

Do you run and hide

Or face the truth?

So what do you do (Whoa-oh)

When it all comes down on you? (Whoa-oh)

Do you run and hide (Whoa-oh)

Or face the truth?

[Bridge]

When all is said and done, you could be the one

With open arms and open eyes

You're jumping off the edge and hoping you can fly

Accept your fate for what it is

Into the great unknown

Yeah!

[Chorus]

So what do you do

When it all comes down on you?

Do you run and hide

Or face the truth?

So what do you do (Whoa-oh)

When it all comes down on you? (Whoa-oh)

Do you run and hide (Whoa-oh)

Or face the truth?

So what do you do

When it's all turning 'round on you?

Do you run and hide

Or face the truth?

So what do you, what do you do

What do you do?

Do you run and hide

Or face the truth?

[Outro]

...Got a one-way ticket on a hell-bound train

With nothing to lose and nothing to gain...

My Heart Is a Fist Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I surrender

I know I've been a pretender

You can have this guilt

This misery I wear so well

I wave my flag, I sound the alarm

Somebody stop me before I do any harm

I surrender

I know I've been a pretender

I'm living a dead life

I'm staring into the headlights

Of a getaway car

That'll take me out of my mind tonight

Crash and burn, SOS

Somebody, help me get out of this mess

Of a dead life

I'm burning under the spotlight

[Chorus]

My heart is a fist drenched in blood

My soul will fight again

My heart is a fist drenched in blood

My soul will rise again

[Verse 2]

Take a look at these hollow eyes

One last look before I say goodbye

To this candlelit nightmare

I feel like can never escape

So watch me fall from grace

Watch me carve my hate

In the heart of a lover, I feel I can never escape

My fate

[Chorus]

My heart is a fist drenched in blood

My soul will fight again

My heart is a fist drenched in blood

My soul will rise again

[Bridge]

I see you on your cloud looking down

I am on my knees today, but you don't notice me

I see you on your cloud looking down

I'm on my knees today, but you don't notice me

You don't notice me

I'm screaming while I pray

While I pray

You don't notice me

I'm sick of you, God...

I am done with you...

[Outro]

I see you on your cloud looking down

I'm on my knees today, but you don't notice me

My heart is a fist drenched in blood

My soul will fight again

My heart is a fist drenched in blood

My soul will rise again

No More Secrets Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I live the days of war

I live the nights of love

I suffer to survive

I gotta, gotta, gotta stay alive

I hear the battle cries

Their fists are in the sky

I know what I'm fighting for...

[Chorus]

No more secrets, no more lies

See right through your alibis

Take a look into my eyes

No more secrets, no more lies

See right through your alibis

Take a look into my eyes

No more secrets, no more lies

[Verse 2]

This is a call to arms

It's time to go to war

It's time to rant and rave

Gotta, gotta, gotta make a change

Down on the devil street

Is where everybody meets

I know what I'm fighting for...

[Chorus]

No more secrets, no more lies

See right through your alibis

Take a look into my eyes

No more secrets, no more lies

See right through your alibis

Take a look into my eyes

No more secrets, no more lies

Yeah!

[Bridge]

What goes around comes around, baby!

You'll get yours one day, that's right!

[Verse 3]

I want it all, I want it now!

Make no mistake, give it to me straight...

[Chorus]

No more secrets, no more lies

See right through your alibis

Take a look into my eyes

No more secrets, no more lies

See right through your alibis

Take a look into my eyes

No more secrets, no more lies

Lies, lies, lies!

No more secrets, no more lies

See right through your alibis

Take a look into my eyes

No more secrets, no more lies

Yeah!

[Outro]

What goes around comes around, baby!

You'll get yours one day, that's right!

Reckless Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Please forgive me while I turn out the lights

Watch this haunted day turn into a wasted night

[Pre-Chorus]

So cut me off—throw me out

'Cause I'm reckless, I'm a reckless goddamn son of a bitch!

[Chorus]

I'm reckless

So reckless

God, save me from this madness

I'm reckless

So reckless

God, save me from this madness

[Verse 2]

I'm walking on broken glass

From the wreckage of my past

I'm locked up in a cage

'Cause I'm a prisoner of my ways

[Pre-Chorus]

So cut me off—throw me out

'Cause I'm reckless, I'm a reckless goddamn son of a bitch!

[Chorus]

I'm reckless

So reckless

God, save me from this madness

I'm reckless

So reckless

God, save me, save me from this madness

[Bridge]

Thank God I've got a woman

With my name across her heart

Loving me ain't easy, loving me is hard

I'm sorry about the madness

But that's the way it's gotta be

'Cause it takes a crazy woman

To love a reckless man like me

[Chorus]

I'm reckless

So reckless

God, save me from this madness

I'm reckless

So reckless

God, save me, save me from this madness

[Outro]

I'm reckless (I'm so reckless)

So reckless (I'm so reckless)

God, save me, save me from this madness

I'm reckless (I'm so reckless)

So reckless (I'm so reckless)

God, save me, save me from this madness

The Fire Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Die a little every day

Break the silence when you say

You don't love me anymore

In my face, you slam the door

Making up, making out

Falling in and falling out

When you kiss me like a stranger

That is when we are in danger

[Chorus]

Fly around the fire

In and out of desire

I gotta love you, I gotta have you

Don't want to let you down again

[Verse 2]

When I kiss you like a lover

That is when we discover

We are burning in the fire

This love will never tire

When I tell you that I need you

Please believe that I won't leave you

You're a diamond, I'm a heart

Living in this house of cards

[Chorus]

Fly around the fire

In and out of desire

I gotta love you, I gotta have you

Don't want to let you down again

I gotta love you, I gotta have you

Don't want to let you down again

[Solo]

[Chorus]

Fly around the fire

In and out of desire

I gotta love you, I gotta have you

Don't want to let you down again

[Refrain]

The fire

In and out of desire

[Chorus]

I gotta love you, I gotta have you

Don't want to let you down again

[Outro]

Don't want to let you down again

Roses on My Grave Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It feels like I'm looking at life

Through a telescope, because I'm so high

And the ground never seemed so far away

Truth shall be told one day

I'll be under ground one day

[Chorus]

I've got a woman

That'll put roses on my grave

I've got a woman

That'll put roses on my grave

Roses on my

[Verse 2]

Feels like I'm looking at life

Telescope, because I'm so high

And the ground never seemed so far away

Truth shall be told one day

I'll be under ground one day

[Chorus]

I've got a woman

That'll put roses on my grave

I've got a woman

That'll put roses on my grave

I've got a woman

That'll put roses on my grave

I've got a woman

That'll put roses on my grave

Roses on my grave

[Bridge]

Don't forget me

Please forgive me

[Outro]

It's my redemption (time for redemption)

Time for redemption (it's my redemption)

It's my redemption (time for redemption)

Time for redemption

I'll see you on the other side

I'm waiting on the other side

I'll see you on the other side

I'm waiting on the other side

Scars (live & Murderous in Chicago) Lyrics

[Intro]

I tear my heart open—I sew myself shut

And my weakness is that I care too much

And my scars remind me that the past is real

I tear my heart open just to feel

[Verse 1]

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down

And I just want to be alone

I'm pissed 'cause you came around

Why don't you just go home?

'Cause I've channeled all your pain

And I can't help you fix yourself

You're making me insane

All I can say is:

[Chorus]

I tear my heart open—I sew myself shut

And my weakness is that I care too much

And our scars remind us that the past is real

Tear my heart open just to feel

[Verse 2]

I tried to help you once

Against my own advice

I saw you goin' down

But you never realized

That you're drowning in the water

And I offered you my hand

Compassions in my nature

Tonight is our last stand

[Chorus]

I tear my heart open—I sew myself shut

And my weakness is that I care too much

And our scars remind us that the past is real

I tear my heart open just to feel

[Verse 3]

I’m drunk and I’m feeling down

And I just want to be alone

You should've never come around

Why don’t you just go home?

'Cause you’re drowning in the water

And I tried to grab your hand

I left my heart open

But you didn’t understand

(But you didn’t understand)

Go fix yourself!

[Bridge]

I can't help you fix yourself

But at least I can say I tried

I'm sorry, but I gotta move on with my own life

I can't help you fix yourself

But at least I can say I tried

I'm sorry, but I gotta move on with my own life

[Chorus]

I tear my heart open—I sew myself shut

And my weakness is that I care too much

And our scars remind us that the past is real

I tear my heart open just to feel

I tear my heart open—I sew myself shut

And my weakness is that I care too much

And our scars remind us that the past is real

I tear my heart open just to feel

SOS Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm feeling on top of the world

I'm feeling like I can't do wrong

I'm thinking, "Everything is fine"

I'm caught up in the smoke and the mirrors

People that you think are your friends

Might be the people that want to drag you down

You've got to look out for yourself tonight

Don't get lost in the smoke and mirrors

[Pre-Chorus]

Line after line

Time after time

[Chorus]

It's the same old sad story

He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind

It's the same old sad story

He's lost

[Verse 2]

I'm tripping; I'm over the edge

I'm falling, and I got no wings

I'm praying I'll make it through tonight

I'm caught up in the smoke and the mirrors

I'm living in a prison cell

I'm strung out in downtown hell

I'm looking for myself tonight

I got lost in the smoke and mirrors

[Pre-Chorus]

Line after line

Time after time

[Chorus]

It's the same old sad story

He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind

It's the same old sad story

He is lost

[Bridge]

This is an SOS (This is an SOS)

Yeah

[Chorus]

It's the same old sad story

He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind

It's the same old sad story

He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind

Out of his mind, doing that time

Walking a line, doing that time

[Outro]

This is an SOS (This is an SOS)

Yeah
