if i don't come back
don't just sit and wait
run
don't look back
if there's no one there
does that mean we're safe
no
run
if i don't leave tracks
am i really going anywhere
was it all a dream
if i don't come back
the beast has claimed me
run
lock the doors
and stay in the car

we went out west
where i did not think that anyone
followed me back
would you please stop please stop worrying
you know it won't be long
it's already over
we're singing the same song over again
we'll see what happens next
it's time to recover you
i don't want to smother you
i could care less
you like who i like to make you think i am
riding back high with your friends in the backseat whispering
they know it won't be long
it's already over
we're singing the same song over again
i know what happens next
we both fall apart here
and no one's that smart here
no i could care less
you say you love me
you've got a funny way of showing it
you think you could mean it all to me
but darling, you don't know the half of it
but i'm not worried about it
no, i'm not worried about it
i got millions of reasons why i can afford to doubt it
i got people who know people who can get me out of it
why worry
i'm not worried about it
no, i'm not worried about it
i got people who know people who can get me out of it
i got millions of reasons why i can afford to doubt it
why worry
why worry

who am i kidding
i've got a long way to go
who would've bet on this guy
who would've put that as the best it would end
i know
dandelion in the wind
calling on the leaves to fall
to the burning wood
and only if you could see me
but you won't be coming home again
tearing the branches down
spreading them all around until there's nothing left but the sky
was he a better guy than i?
fine fine fine
you have it your way and i'll have it mine
and i'll have it mine tonight
because life's a bitch and then you die
dandelion in the wind
surviving honest
never to be seen again

Notify the Next of Kin

somebody called in a murder suicide
down at the local little house of horrors
and on the early morning news
they depicted you
so how do you plead
and if we cut you enough
will you bleed
and how you must've loved to see us crushed
no no no that's not enough
not enough for me
you see it's love
and love's obsession and it never ends
that's the way the world pretends
and that's the way i like to think
and that'll never change
you were the one that always told me
people never change
but i swear to you so help me god i've changed

where did you go
your dinner's cold
the sinner's called
he wants to know
can you still read his code
my eyes are wide
my hands are tied
my back is up against the wall
but don't you know
that's the only time i ever feel alive
that's the only time i ever feel alive
i watched you strive
watched you survive
the sacrifice
that no one wanted
and you're still by my side
the perfect life is just a childish dream
but what is life
if you don't keep your dreams alive
and that's the only time i ever want to die
yeah that's the only time i ever want to die
that's the only time i ever want to die
i took my time
these pantomimes
were all designed
to fall apart on cue
and what i could not forgive myself of
i put on you
and now i'm trying to put you back together again
now i'm trying to put you back together
in the last place they would check

To Feel the Heat
02:35

to feel the heat move from your hand to mine
i can't explain it
like a touch from god herself to ease the pain
to know the reasons we fade in and out
it's reassuring
as fate would have it there might be a chance in hell for me
but i've got to learn to love to feel the heat
love to feel the burn
when they could just laugh at me
they're after me
it's blasphemy to me
to feel the heat move from your hand to mine
i can't explain it
as fate would have it there may be a chance in hell for us
but i've got to learn to love to feel the heat
to love to feel the burn
and i still can't believe
they're after me
it's blasphemy

if i decide that you fit into the puzzle
we'll take a ride and we'll get you fit for the muzzle
you'll squirm a bit cause all of them do the first time
if i arrive too late
don't wait up
and if you have changed too much
that's just enough for me, honey
i'm looking at you
have you lost your marbles
did you topsy turvy
oh did you want your mommy
did you lose your baby
familiarize yourself with the basement
look me in the eye
and tell me just what your face meant
when you told me to take control
but i lost my marbles
i've gone off the edge now
oh did away with it all
now i watch you leave
so you survived
so what
you've still got the desert
and when your blood dries
i know you'll be cursing my name at the top of your lungs
begging for mercy like all the other ones
you'll call me the devil, yes, the devil himself
and you may be right

Easy to Remember

will i be a hero
in your eyes
will i be a hero
in these dark times
these dark times
will i be a hero
in your eyes
will i be a hero
will this be mine
shave the pain away if you think it's time
take the world away in a few years time
it's easy to remember your face, it's kind
blow the world away for the billionth time
will i be a hero
in your eyes
will i be a hero
in these dark times
i know you're waiting for it
and i just hope it will wait for both of us
will i be a hero
if i drop dead
can i be a hero
if you're not there

Closer to the Grave
05:31
|
|||
|
sifting through the sands of shame
knowing only I am to blame
needing visions, choosing games
throwing failure to the flames
feeling more than just a slave
one day closer to the grave
one day closer to the grave
warnings of invasions this morning
stranger in my personal space
putting all his fears on display
begging the public opinion for a stay
feeling, learning to behave
some time closer to the grave
you foolish man
you foolish man
you plant a seed
it never grows
until it dies

Honor Amongst Thieves

|
as of tonight, tomorrow's just a dream
you know it's never up to you or me
please pay no mind to what you see
because i can't be nailed down right now
i've got to spread the love around
because you don't get to choose your friends
eyes dart in a crowded room
you don't see me standing there
until it's too late
and i'm not happy until it's too late
princes of thieves
bringing the beast down to it's knees
last but not least
slave to the night, ghost of the feast
what do i eat
you don't get to choose your friends
eyes dart in a crowded room
and i see you

A Chance in Hell
11:14

words that you said ring in my head
resonating truth over doubt
with devils in the details and the angels on the outs
someone's got every thing but I just want one
but how do I know it's real
how do I know it
how do I know it's real
and it will be great
as long as we escape with everyone that we have ever loved
it doesn't have to be a choice from all of the above
and you've got your hand in mine and i've got my free time
how do I know it's real
how do I know it
how do I know it's real
how will you know you're right
until you throw the fight
let everything yours become mine
where will the children play
can we just save the day
will all the seeds we've sown grow old
i've grown cold
I think I need to go home
I don't know
what do you have to say
at the end of the day
will you find a way
or will you just go away again
i have gone to sleep to search in my dreams
as I forever bleed to earn a king's ransom for my queen
