In Fate’s Hands Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I remember a year ago, I was standing in the crowd
Waiting for my chance to break through
My chance to live again
And now it seems I've found some friends who finally understand
What it takes to make this dream come true
We'll be here 'til the end
[Chorus]
Shake it, break it, get off your feet
Come dance with me and don't you fake it
Shake it, break it, get off your feet
Get close to me and don't you fake it
[Verse 2]
Shout (Hey) and (Hey) scream (Hey), my friends (Hey)
Connect (Hey) with me (Hey) and we'll pretend
This night will never end (Whoa-oh), this night will never end
Just (Hey) let (Hey) go (Hey), you'll see (Hey)
Together (Hey), we'll do (Hey) anything
This night will never end (Whoa-oh), this night will never end
[Chorus]
Shake it, break it, get off your feet
Come dance with me and don't you fake it
Shake it, break it, get off your feet
Get close to me and don't you fake it
[Bridge]
Whoa, wish I could break you all
For what you have done
And all of the things that you have shared with me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ah, wish I could take you all
To where I must go, whoa-oh
Wish I could take you all, I'll take you in my arms
Get on the floor, get on the floor (Down), get on the floor (Down)
Get (Break) on the floor (Me), get on the floor (Down)
[Chorus]
Shake it, break it, get off your feet
Come dance with me and don't you fake it
Shake it, break it, get off your feet
Get close to me and don't you fake it
[Outro]
I'm reaching out here to show you what we've been through
I think there's something we can share, that's completely new
Or maybe I'm just insane, whoa-oh
Shake it, break it, get off your feet
Waiting Lyrics
[Intro]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Feeling sorrow
For all the things you had to steal and borrow
Bring back the days we had before tomorrow
Relapse and then collapse into yourself once more
[Chorus]
Waiting for this life to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on
This life is breaking into the day
This life is going to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on
This life is breaking into the day
[Verse 2]
Void I can't fill
The doctor tells me to relax and stand still
Prescribes me a new pill to quell my anger
Wish I could make her pull herself up off the floor
[Chorus]
Waiting for this life to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on
This life is breaking into the day
This life is going to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on
This life is breaking into the day again
Into the day again
[Chorus]
Waiting for this life to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on
This life is breaking into the day
This life is going to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on
This life is breaking into the day
[Outro]
Take time to contemplate who you are and where you want to go
Take time to contemplate who you are and where you want to go
Into the day
False Pretense Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, it's time to let it go
[Verse 1]
The world's got a funny way of turning 'round on you
When a friend tries to stab you right in the face
Losing faith in everything I thought, I hoped and knew
Don't sweat it
Set a false pretense
[Pre-Chorus]
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
'Ca-ca-ca-ca-cause you know
[Chorus]
In sacrifice
False pretense, you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense, you'll hurt again
[Verse 2]
All along you know you thought you got the best of me
You were wrong and I'm laughing right in your face
I cannot believe you claimed you were my family
Don't sweat it
Set a false pretense
[Pre-Chorus]
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
'Ca-ca-ca-ca-cause you know
[Chorus]
In sacrifice
False pretense, you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense, you'll hurt again
Guitar
[Bridge]
Oh, it's time to let it go
I can't seem to understand it
How you've turned out to be so cold
You tried but were caught red-handed
Are you happy with your role?
It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke
[Chorus]
In sacrifice
False pretense, you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense, you'll hurt again
[Outro]
So play the game until you run out
And play the game into my head
Face Down Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey girl, you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still, I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down
Cover up with makeup in the mirror
Tell yourself, "It's never gonna happen again"
You cry alone, and then
He swears he loves you
[Chorus]
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
[Verse 2]
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world'll bear a consequence
If you wade around forever, you will surely drown
I see what's going down
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the way you go and say you're right again
Say you're right again, heed my lecture
[Chorus]
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
[Post-Chorus]
Face down in the dirt, she said, "This doesn't hurt"
She said, "I finally had enough"
Face down in the dirt, she said, "This doesn't hurt"
She said, "I finally had enough"
[Bridge]
One day she will tell you that she has had enough
It’s coming 'round again
[Chorus]
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
[Post-Chorus]
Face down in the dirt, she said, "This doesn't hurt"
She said, "I finally had enough"
Misery Loves Its Company Lyrics
[Intro]
Listen close, as the rain falls down to the ground
It's true
We are, we are destined to fail
It's true
We are, we are destined to fail
[Verse 1]
There is a problem here with our society
The absence of my tears is my sobriety
I have a growing fear, and you're not helping me
Am I the only one who realizes it's true?
[Chorus 1]
Beat but I'm not broken
Guide me through with your hand
Lead with your words spoken
Show me how to listen
[Verse 2]
You're persecuting me, showing hypocrisy
I have a remedy for your insecurity
It's all the same sadly, nobody works for free
Am I the only one who realizes it's true?
[Chorus 2]
Beat but I'm not broken
Guide me through with your hand
Lead with your words spoken
Show me how to listen
Let your light shine through me
Take this hate I can't release
Help me make the blind see
Misery loves its company
[Bridge]
When I dream, I see dawn turn
Into dusk, into dusk
[Chorus 2]
Beat but I'm not broken
Guide me through with your hand
Lead with your words spoken
Show me how to listen
Let your light shine through me
Take this hate I can't release
Help me make the blind see
Misery loves its company
[Outro]
It's true
We are, we are destined to fail
It's true
We are, we are destined to fail
Cat And Mouse Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Softly we tremble tonight
Picture perfect fading smiles are all that's left in sight
I said, I'd never leave, you'll never change
I'm not satisfied with where I'm at in life
[Chorus]
Am I supposed to be happy?
When all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
Am I supposed to be happy?
When all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
You said, you said that you would die for me
[Verse 2]
We made plans to grow old
Believe me there was truth in all those stories that I told
Lost in a simple game, cat and mouse, are we the same
People as before this came to light?
[Chorus]
Am I supposed to be happy?
When all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
Am I supposed to be happy?
When all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
You said, you said that you would die for me
[Bridge]
You must live for me too
For me too, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You said that you would die for me
[Chorus]
Am I supposed to be happy?
When all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
Am I supposed to be happy?
When all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
You said, you said that you would die for me
[Coda]
You said that you would die for me
You said that you would die for me, oh, oh
You said that you would die for me, oh, oh, oh
Damn Regret Lyrics
7 ContributorsDamn Regret LyricsThe moon is shining bright
The mood is feeling right
I'll kiss you on your neck
People will stare but we won't care
We're high above the ground
We're nowhere to be found
Empowered by adrenaline
Feel like I'm born again
Again I am repeating myself
And I know it is time for you
To sit and pretend
Damn regret
I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me
'Cause I'll be fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you'd persuade me to let you go?
I'm wishing you were here
My weakness is my fear
Alone I am myself
No reason left for me to care
Distracted by the sound
I hear footsteps all around
Empowered by adrenaline
Feel like I'm born again
Again I am repeating myself
And I know it is time for you
To sit and pretend
Damn regret
I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me
'Cause I'll be fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you'd persuade me to let you go?
You're the only one I turn to
When I feel like no one's there
And when I'm lonely in my darkest hour
You give me the power
To sit and pretend
Damn regret
I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me
'Cause I'm real fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you'd persuaded me to let you go?
Did you think I'd forget?
Did you think I'd surrender myself to persuade you to let me go?
Did you think I'd forget?
Did you think I'd surrender myself to persuade you to let me go?
Atrophy Lyrics
[Intro]
Don't tell me that this is your last chance to change
'Cause if you do, then you would be telling a lie
But
[Verse 1]
I warned you
What could happen if you should decide
To live your life from 9 till 5
And I mourn you
For that detail that is left unsaid
Is a reminder of the time you bled
[Chorus]
Return to days when you knew you still felt alive
Reveal the way you felt when you could look inside
[Verse 2]
They sold you
Everything you need to fix you up
And you feel good now but you can't wake up
They found a way to reassure you (that everything would be okay)
Reach out today now I implore you to remember who you are
[Chorus]
Return to days when you knew you still felt alive
Reveal the way you felt when you could look inside
[Bridge 1]
So you felt it but you don't know
Why you can't explain at all
Why you felt it 'cause you don't know
No, you don't know
[Bridge 2]
Break the walls between building atrophy
Causing all your problems to recede
Break the walls between (break the walls between)
Causing all your pain (causing all)
You'll never learn
[Chorus]
Return to days when you knew you still felt alive
Reveal the way you felt when you could look inside
[Outro]
(Break the walls between building atrophy)
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought
(Causing all your problems to recede)
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought
(Break the walls between)
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought
(Causing all your pain)
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought
Seventeen Ain’t So Sweet Lyrics
8 ContributorsSeventeen Ain’t So Sweet LyricsWell she never was the best, yeah, at following the trends
Stayed one step above the rest
And even though it seemed
Like the world was crashing on her
Didn't let it hold her down
Didn't hold her back
Oh no....whoa....
Don't worry you'll show them
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn until you're heard
You're heard
Seventeen is just a test, yeah, and i would recommend
That you live with no regrets
And even if it seems
Like the world was crashing on you
You shouldn't let it hold you down
Shouldn't hold you back
Oh no....whoa....
Don't worry you'll show them
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn until you're heard
You're heard
Relax, girl
Turn down the lights
No one can see you shining
Relax, girl
It'll be alright
No one can stop you if you try
Point of rhythm is to fall away in time
To listen to the beating in your mind
And if you will seek then you shall find
Whoa....
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn until you're heard
You're heard
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn until you're heard
Until you're heard
Until you're heard
Justify Lyrics
4 ContributorsJustify LyricsOnce there was a time when we could learn
All the simple pleasantries a follower should yearn
Now all that I can do is watch them burn
And wish that I could save them all, or just one
See the fake, everyday shaking hands of men, promising the end
Hear Him speak of all the things that we need to hear, to adhere
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries
I see the way you look around the bend
Is it going to end, yeah, when?
The visions that I've seen have left me torn
Between the resurrection and the prophecy unborn
I think that I will document the fall
And say I hate to say it, but I told you all
See the fake, everyday shaking hands of men, promising the end
Hear Him speak of all the things that we need to hear, to adhere
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries
I see the way you look around the bend
Is it going to end, yeah, when?
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries
I see the way you look around the bend
Is it going to end, when?
Your side, choose wise
Your side, watch the change in time, when you whisper...
You still blame, is my message clearer?
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries
I see the way you look around the bend
Is it going to end, when?
When you change your mind is it going to end?
Your Guardian Angel Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face
I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger, I have figured out
How this world turns cold and breaks through my soul
And I know, I'll find deep inside me
I can be the one
[Chorus]
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me into heaven
[Post-Chorus]
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay
[Verse 2]
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
[Chorus]
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me into heaven
[Verse 3]
Cause you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cause I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, stay
Yeah, woah
Stay, woah
[Bridge]
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray, gray
[Chorus]
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me into heaven
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me into heaven
