See the Light

wastedLeave a comment

I crossed the river
Fell into the sea
Where the non-believers go beyond belief
Then I scratched the surface
In the mouth of hell
Running out of service in the blood I fell

I’ve been wasted
Pills and alcohol
And I’ve been chasing
Down the pool halls
Then I drank the water from a hurricane
And I set a fire just to see the flame

Well I, I just want to see the light
And I, I don’t want to lose my sight
Well I, I just want to see the light
And I need to know what’s worth the fight

I crossed the desert
Reaching higher ground
Then I pound the pavement to take the liars down
But it’s gone forever, but never too late
Where the ever after is in the hands of fate

21 Guns

Do you know what’s worth fighting for
When it’s not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide
Did someone break your heart inside?
You’re in ruins

When you’re at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn’t pass
Nothing’s ever built to last
You’re in ruins

One, 21 Guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 Guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I…

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it’s time to live and let die
And you can’t get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You’re in ruins

Restless Heart Syndrome

I’ve got a really bad disease
It’s got me begging on my hands and knees
So, take me to emergency
‘Cause something seems to be missing
Somebody, take the pain away
It’s like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
So send me to the pharmacy so I can lose my memory

I’m elated, medicated
Lord knows I tried to find a way to run away

I think they found another cure
For broken hearts and feeling insecure
You’d be surprised what I endure
What makes you feel so self-assured

I need to find a place to hide
You never know what could be waiting outside
The accidents that you could find
It’s like some kind of suicide

So what ails you, is what impales you
I feel like I’ve been crucified to be satisfied

I’m a victim of my symptom
I am my own worst enemy
You’re a victim of your symptom
You are your own worst enemy
Know your enemy

I’m elated, medicated
I am my own worst enemy
So what ails you is what impales you
You are your own worst enemy
You’re a victim of the system
You are your own worst enemy
You’re a victim of the system
You are your own worst enemy

Made of Scars

This one came from looking, this one opened twice
These two seemed smooth as silk, flush against my eyes
This one need stitches, and this one came from rings
This one isn’t even there, but I feel it more because you don’t care

Yeah, cut right into me
Yeah, because I am made of scars
Yes, I am made of scars

This one had it coming, this one found a vein
This one was an accident, but never gave me pain
This one was my father’s, and this one you can’t see
This one had me scared to death, but I guess I should be glad I’m not dead

Yeah, cut right into me
Yeah, because I am made of scars
Yes, I am made of scars

This one was the first one, this one had a vice
This one, here, I like to rub on dark and stormy nights
This one was the last one, I don’t remember how
But I remember blood and rain, and I never saw it coming again

Yeah, cut right into me
Yeah, because I am made of scars
Yes, I am made of scars
That’s what I’m made of

Let It Die

I’m a rockstar, I’m a dealer
I’m a servant, I’m a leader
I’m a saviour, I’m a sinner, I’m a killer
I’ll be anything you want me to be

Silent as a witness
Make your heart race with a death kiss
I’m a soldier in a blood war
In the peace corp, I am everything you’ll ever be

A loser, number zero
Play the victim, end up a hero
I’m a teacher, preacher
Liar, I am anything, everything

I’m a mover and a shaker
The oppressor, stimulator
I’m a coward, I’m a fighter
I’m everything
You are me, I am you

See Who Gives a Fuck

The blood’s on the wall
so you’d might as well just admit it
And bleach out the stains
commit to forgetting it
You’re better off empty and blank
Than left with a single pathetic trace of this
Smother another failure, lay this to rest

Console yourself, you’re better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck
Absorb yourself, you’re better alone
Destroy yourself

I’ll chain you to the truth
For the truth shall set you free
I’ll turn the screws of vengeance and bury you with honesty
I’ll make all your dreams come to life
And slay them as quickly as they came
Smother another failure, lay this to rest

Console yourself, you’re better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck
Absorb yourself, you’re better alone
Destroy yourself

See who gives a fuck
See who gives a fuck
See who gives a fuck
