Lyrics

I Don’t Wanna Stop

wastedLeave a comment

I don’t know what they’re talking about
I’m making my own decisions
This thing that I found
Ain’t gonna bring me down
I’m like a junkie without an addiction

Mama, don’t cry
I just wanna say hi
Like playing with danger and fear
Everybody’s walking, but nobody’s talking
It looks a lot better from here

All my life I’ve been over the top
I don’t know what I’m doing
All I know is I don’t wanna stop
All fired up, I’m gonna go till I drop
You are the real reason
Please don’t make me, I don’t wanna stop

Why don’t they ever listen to me?
It’s just a one-way conversation
Nothing they say is gonna set me free
Don’t need no mental masturbation

Too many religions but only one God
I don’t need another savior
Don’t try to change my mind
You know I’m one of a kind
Ain’t gonna change my bad behavior

All my life I’ve been over the top
I don’t know what I’m doing
All I know is I don’t wanna stop
All fired up, I’m gonna go till I drop
You’re either in or in the way
Don’t make me, I don’t wanna stop

Shape Shifter

wastedLeave a comment

I was born of giant’s blood
Raised in Asgård, the home of gods
I am the master of disguise
For this trait I’ve gained your prise

Fast in thought, quicker tongue
Brawl with me and you’ll get stung
I am the master of deceit
My words bind or set you free

I am the walker on the wind
The shape shifter
Two-faced words and a lying grin
The shape shifter

You call me evil, curse my name
But you only have yourselves to blame
Order need its anarchy
Balance through calamity

We mixed our blood in olden days
Now I wander like a stray
We were brothers, now estranged
I will have my sweet revenge

My words are poison to your ears
I say the words you fear
Still you know it is the truth you hear
Ragnarök is drawing near

There you sit in Aegir’s hall
Waiting for the coming fall
Council of the now condemned
Twilight of both gods and men

Face the facts you’re old and weak
Empty words are all you speak
No escape, there’s no return
The universe shall bleed and burn

I am the eagle in the sky
The shape shifter
Vicious wolf
Howling in the night
The shape shifter
I am the walker on the wind
The shape shifter
Two-faced words
And a lying grin
The shape shifter
I am the eagle in the sky
The vicious wolf
Howling in the night
I am the walker on the wind
Lying words
With an honest grin
The shape shifter

Not Going Away

wastedLeave a comment

Don’t tell me I’m wrong
Don’t tell that you knew all along
I won’t roll over dead
Only I know what goes on in my head

I’ve got nothing to hide
I’m not guilty inside
I won’t give up
After all I’m still crazy

I’m not going away
I’m not going
Try so hard to break me
But all your diamonds turn to sand

I’m not going away
I’m not going
Say goodbye forever
I’ll wait for you in no man’s land

Get out of my way
There’s nothing you can do to change what I say
I won’t ever let go
I got the answer but you’ll never know

I got my eyes open wide
Ain’t gonna slip up or slide
Can’t take me down
After all I’m still crazy

Good Goodbye

Live from the rhythm, it’s
Something wild, venomous
Enemies trying to read me
You’re all looking highly illiterate
Blindly forgetting if I’m in the mix
You won’t find an equivalent
I’ve been here killing it
Longer than you’ve been alive, you idiot
And it makes you so mad
Somebody else could be stepping in front of you
And it makes you so mad that you’re not the only one
There’s more than one of you
And you can’t understand the fact
That it’s over and done, hope you had fun
You’ve got a lot to discuss on the bus
Headed back where you’re from

So say goodbye and hit the road
Pack it up and disappear
You better have some place to go
‘Cause you can’t come back around here
Good goodbye

Burn It Down

wastedLeave a comment

The cycle repeated
As explosions broke in the sky
All that I needed
Was the one thing I couldn’t find
And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know

We’re building it up
To break it back down
We’re building it up
To burn it down
We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground

The colors conflicted
As the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this
But couldn’t stop from tearing it down
And you were there at the turn
Caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know

We’re building it up
To break it back down
We’re building it up
To burn it down
We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground

See the Light

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

wastedLeave a comment

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

wastedLeave a comment

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

wastedLeave a comment

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

wastedLeave a comment

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
