American Dream Lyrics
[Intro]
It was on our wedding day
When my heart began to stray
Never thought I'd make such a big mistake
Throw my life away
[Verse 1]
I've gone days without food
I've went weeks without sleep
Keeping this in
I've got cuts I can't close
I've got wounds that won't heal
It's all your fault
[Verse 2]
I've been shattered and wrecked
My hands covered in blood
Scars on my skin
I forgot how to feel
Now I'm weak with deceit
My skin is paper thin
[Chorus]
We get through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it in
We go through this
Over and over again
[Verse 3]
I'd go years without tears
In a life with no fear
A life without you
Now I'm breaking my back as
I cover my tracks
My skin is paper thin
Once again!
[Chorus]
We get through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it in
We go through this
Over and over again
[Verse 1]
I've gone days without food
I've went weeks without sleep
Keeping this in
I've got cuts I can't close
I've got wounds that won't heal
It's all your fault
[Bridge]
My American dream
Wasn't ever to lie, steal and cheat
He won't leave her for this
What's the point?
I wish they would die!
[Chorus]
We get through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it in
We go through this
Over and over again
(Over again)
We get through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it in
We go through this
Over and over again
(Over and over again!)
[Outro]
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
I Knew I Couldn't Trust You Lyrics
[Refrain]
I knew I couldn't trust you back when we were kids
You sold me out, you ran and hid
From all your problems, can't even face your friend
Your best friend
[Verse 1]
You're holding something in tonight
And I can tell you're not alright
Your poker face concealing
All the cards that you're not dealing
Cross your arms, avert your eyes
You're like a child ashamed to cry
The words inside your head
When I find out you'll wish you said
[Chorus]
I've let you down
So many times but I can't
Ever tell you this (Ever tell you this)
There is no forgiving it
I promised you
I'd always be there but that
Couldn't be less true (Couldn't be less true)
It's the worst thing I could do
[Verse 2]
You're going to bet it all on black
And when it's gone you'll want it back
Because truth don't mix with reason
And cheating's the ultimate treason
And I could see through you like glass
Slither around below the grass
Garden of Eden burning
Forbidden fruit, you won't discern it
[Chorus]
I've let you down
So many times but I can't
Ever tell you this (Ever tell you this)
There is no forgiving it (No forgiving it!)
I promised you
I'd always be there but that
Couldn't be less true (Couldn't be less true)
It's the worst thing I could do
[Breakdown]
My loss, your gain
It didn't have to be this way
Across your face
It's so legible
[Bridge]
Hold in the pain (Hold in the pain)
We're better off this way (We're better off this way)
We don't abstain (We don't abstain)
We're better off this way (We're better off this way)
Friends are in vain
We're better off this way
Better off this way!
[Refrain]
I knew I couldn't trust you back when we were kids
You sold me out, you ran and hid
From all your problems, can't even face your friend
Your best friend
[Chorus]
I've let you down
So many times but I can't
Ever tell you this (Ever tell you this)
There is no forgiving it (No forgiving it!)
I promised you
I'd always be there but that
Couldn't be less true (Couldn't be less true!)
It's the worst thing I could do
Born Dead Lyrics
[Verse 1: Shane Told, Scott Wade]
You call this a privilege
(No, I call it a right)
There's no respect for life
(No compromising)
Coverage denied (Coverage denied)
So sit behind your desk and
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel inside
You know I'm slowly dying
How long I have left is for you to decide
[Chorus 1: Shane Told, with Scott Wade]
We keep on suffering everyday
We're victims of opportunity
One nation under God, they said
We are all born dead
[Verse 2: Shane Told, Scott Wade, both]
Dead and rotting bodies fill the
Fields in the east
There's no respect for life, it never stops
Is this what makes us free?
So flex your muscle as you
Barricade the whole world piece by piece
How long until the ocean
Overflows into our yards and streets?
[Chorus 2: Shane Told]
We keep on suffering everyday
We're victims of opportunity
One nation under God, they said
We are all pawns
We are all sheep
We are all born...
Dead!
[Bridge: Shane Told]
We can't escape this
Until we unify as one
I'll fight the sickness
Until my time has come
[Chorus 1: Shane Told, with Scott Wade]
We keep on suffering everyday
We're victims of opportunity
One nation under God, they said
We are all born dead
[Chorus 2: Shane Told, with Scott Wade]
We keep on suffering everyday
We're victims of opportunity
One nation under God, they said
We are all pawns
We are all sheep
We are all born dead!
A Shipwreck in the Sand Lyrics
[Narrated]
Once upon a time
Before the lakes and rivers were polluted
Before the animals were poached to extinction
And before man had destroyed the earth's atmosphere
There was a great ship
This vessel was to venture into new waters
To find new resources
To make life easier and more enjoyable
It was a simple mission for the crew
Who were excited to be a part of this union
They pledged their allegiance to the captain
And vowed to be there no matter what
In sickness, health, and possible death
As time passed by, there was no new land to be found
As the days grew shorter
And the nights grew longer and colder
The crew became more and more skeptical about the captain's vision
Originally passionate and committed
True and faithful
They now began to revolt
[Verse 1]
You crossed the line
I was honest
I never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to stand for something
And everyone should take the lead
Follow your dreams
If you don't try, you fail
[Intermission]
As the mutiny started
And the captain was overthrown and chained
He asked them why their minds had changed?
There's no gold to be found, no treasure in the ground
We won't die for this, we won't die for you
[Verse 2]
You've lost your minds
I was honest
I never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to stand for something
And even if they disagree
Follow your dreams
If you don't try, you fail
[Bridge]
This dream is now
A shipwreck in the sand
They gave up
They made all their demands
The storm consumed
Fifty seven souls
Who died in vain
His love they stole
[Outro]
This union, a battle fought and lost
This union is not about the cause
This union was never about love
(This union, this union)
This union, a battle fought and lost
This union is not about the cause
This union was never about love
(This union, this union)
This union, a battle fought and lost
This union is not about the cause
This union was never about love
I Am the Arsonist Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Throwing up at the thought of you two
How could you do this?
My best friend with my bride
Now you tell me you are leaving
[Chorus]
They'll see a fire through the dark night sky
I hope you're home when I arrive
If there's a pyre in the afterlife
I'll be there again to light the match
Burn!
[Verse 2]
Gasoline, fire
It's the perfect combination
Light it up, burn it down
Breathe in my addiction
[Chorus]
They'll see a fire through the dark night sky
I hope you're home when I arrive
If there's a pyre in the afterlife
I'll be there again to light the match
[Bridge]
I am the light
That warms up your body, and sets free the demons inside
I am the one
That never ignores you, that never will let you down!
[Outro]
They'll suspect but they'll never prove I was there (I was there!)
In my veins, I feel the wrath of adrenaline (of adrenaline!)
It's so hard to run away, when I want to stay
(I am the light that warms up your body and sets free the demons Inside)
To watch it burn, watch it churn, into dust!
(I am the one that never ignores you, that never will let you down)
We Are Not the World Lyrics
[Chorus]
I've always been your favorite game
And all the world's your spot-lit stage
I'm just another extra in your play: the fool
[Verse 1]
(Turn on, tune in)
I'm ready for your drama
(Tape up, weigh in)
You're throwing every hook tonight
Your charismatic lies make tears run down their cheeks
(Run down their cheeks!)
I've lost the only thing I need
Here's to the plaintiff
And now you've taken her away
[Chorus]
I've always been your favorite game
And all the world's your spot-lit stage
I'm just another extra in your play: the fool
[Verse 2]
(Pull out the pin)
I'm falling on the grenade now
(Don't shoot, don't shoot)
I'm just a kid like you
We fight for billionaires who bomb our city streets
(Armed to the teeth!)
Divide the youth for corporate greed
Here's to the propaganda
And now they take your life away
[Chorus]
I've always been your favorite game
And all the world's your spot-lit stage
I'm just another extra in your play
I've always been your favorite game
And all the world's your spot-lit stage
I'm just another extra in your play
[Bridge]
And now that war has been declared
How long until bombs burst in air?
We've come too far, just to let this die and throw this away
[Chorus]
I've always been your favorite game
And all the world's your spot-lit stage
I'm just another extra in your play
I've always been your favorite game
And all the world's your spot-lit stage
I'm just another extra in your play
[Outro]
(We're not the world)
In your play
(We're not the world)
In your play: the fool
(We are not the world)
A Hero Loses Everyday Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey!
I've lost everything
Now I've gotta find a way out
Hey!
They keep asking me
Where I was when it was burning
There's no trying to explain
They'll lock me up again
Throw away the key
The protagonist became
The villain they disdain
In every way
[Verse 2]
Hey!
I've lost everything
But I'm gonna find a way out
Hey!
Nothing's left for me
Except malady and hatred
No evidence was found
They'll let me go for now
At least 'til tomorrow
[Chorus 1]
And hey!
When tomorrow brings the morning sun again
I'll be long gone
Now!
As I drive away and leave the past behind
I think I'm dying
[Bridge]
It's so pathetic
I hate you so much but I still miss you
Karma is hard to change
When everything you do and say is awful
Remorse is hard to fake
When you only feel sorry for yourself
[Verse 3]
I'm coughing up more blood
It's filling up my lungs
It's killing me
[Chorus 2]
Hey!
When tomorrow brings the morning sun again
I'll be long gone (I'll be long gone)
Dead!
Lying all alone on this motel room floor
I know I'm dying (I know I'm dying)
[Outro]
Hey! (Hey!)
I've lost everything
Now! (Now!)
I've succumbed to grace
Hey! (Hey!)
It's not that surprising
A hero loses everyday
