-Wake Up! Wake Up! -
I was born with 6 strings wrapped around my heart
And a few trusty chords to pull me through when i’m falling apart
I’ve got a handful of bad ideas and a pocket of hope
And a mouthful of blood and words that come straight from the fucking heart…

Wake Up! Wake Up!
Dig deep inside, take a deep breath and then you’ll realize
Time waits for no-one so stop waiting around
For something that’s never gonna happen at all!

I grew up confused with a hole in my head
And a little voice inside saying i’d be better off dead
Well by the time i was 7 i’d seen hell and i’d seen heaven
And god knows i’m not going back there again!

Time waits for no-one so stop waiting around
For something that’s never gonna happen at all!

-Something To Believe In-
You point your finger and i feel the pressure
That’s the way it is & the way it always goes
Trying to make a living in this dead end town but nothing’s ever good enough for you… Back Stabber!!
And a breakdown is what im heading for now
While you’re breathing down my neck i am a nervous wreck!
Your religious ideals don’t do it for me, but i need someone or something to save me

(woah, woah) Give me something to believe in
(woah, woah) Won’t you give me something that’s worth fighting for?

I’m never gonna fall in line
So stop wasting your time
I’m a breed of a different kind, you can keep your religion
Because i can tell my own lies!

(woah, woah) Give me something to believe in
(woah, woah) Give me something to stop the bleeding
(woah, woah) Won’t you give me something that’s worth fighting for?
Give me something to believe in!

-Little Needle-
Well you could take a shot gun and point it at your head
to blow all your problems away…
Yeah you could take the life that you haven’t even started yet
and throw it all away…

You can take the needle and prick it in your vein
It don’t hurt much… Just a little?
Push it in a little more and pretty soon you’ll hit the floor
And get the fix that you are dying for…

Like the little needle that gets you high
I’ll be right beside you to watch you die
Can’t you see it’s not the way to go?
If you carry on i guess you’ll never know…

-Stupid Boy!-
You’re still walking the same dead end streets where the sun stopped shining a long time ago…
And the Jesus that’s hanging around your neck can’t save you from this hell?
Oh Son! Where are you going? You’ve got nowhere to hide
There’s nothing you can do to save yourself from the nightmare that you’ve been living since you quit sleeping…

(Do you know where you’re going?)
No!
I don’t know, i’ve never used my brain before so why start now?
(Do you know where you’re going?)
No! I don’t care
You better start and think about your future
Stupid Boy!

I’m on a guilt trip through this lonely town where the sun don’t shine and no one makes a sound…
Is this hell? Is this hell?
I don’t know, i don’t care, i don’t give a shit just get me out of here!

(Do you know where you’re going?)
No!
I don’t know, i’ve never used my brain before so why start now?
(Do you know where you’re going?)
No! I don’t care
You better start and think about your future
Stupid Boy!

-Waste Of Time-
Well you work from 9 to 5, just to keep yourself alive…
And the voice thats in your head, it says you’ll be better off dead…
Hey?

You are sick of waking up next to no one and throwing up…
Because you drank the night away…
Trying to forget yesterday?
Well thats when i realized life was passing me by…
And all work no play makes living a waste of time…

One of these days, you’ll have the right things to say
But it won’t matter ’cause no one ever listens anyway
So this is how it’s gonna be for the rest of your life?
You’ve got to work from 9 to 5 just to stay alive!
And thats when i realized life was passing me by…
And all work no play makes living a waste of time…

-Better Place-
Waking up with cold feet
If i could sing i’d sing a song about how much i really need you right now
Just let me let his sinking feeling go just for today
Come around and take me away to a better place where;

The clock on the wall don’t count my time and the face in the mirror don’t look like mine
And the book on the shelf don’t read the story of my life…
Where the sun don’t rise and there’s no 9 to 5′s
We get drunk all night and get lost in the beauty of the night time…
And never fall asleep, unless we have to…

Again, I’m waking up with cold feet and listening to the storm
While you work day and night shifts at a diner way across town…
Please don’t make me leave the house tonight, because the rain stings my eyes
Just come around and take me away to a better place where;

The clock on the wall don’t count my time and the face in the mirror don’t look like mine
And the book on the shelf don’t read the story of my life…
Where the sun don’t rise and there’s no 9 to 5′s
We get drunk all night and get lost in the beauty of the night time…
And never fall asleep, ’cause we don’t have to…

The clock on the wall don’t count my time and the face in the mirror don’t look like mine
And the book on the shelf don’t read the story of my life…
Where the sun don’t rise and there’s no 9 to 5′s
We get drunk all night and get lost in the beauty of the night time…
And never fall asleep, until we have to…

-Rip Me Apart-
I can feel your disease flowing through my veins
When I’m near you, I fear you…
And i can taste your regret slithering down my throat
When i kiss you….
When you’re gone i miss you…
Yeah you, you’re gonna get your way
You’re gonna make me pay
And there’s nothing i can say…

‘Cause now you’ve got me where you want me
Yeah you’ve got me where you want me
So do your worst, treat me like your first,
Rip me apart! and break my heart…
‘Cause now you’ve got me where you want me and i wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else…

I fear my cupid arrow is gonna pearce your breathless lungs when we speak
But i’m too fucking weak…
And i can feel your disease because it’s melting my eyes
When you smile… teeth like a crocodile…
Yeah you, you’re gonna get your way
You’re gonna make me pay
And there’s nothing i can say…

‘Cause now you’ve got me where you want me
Yeah you’ve got me where you want me
So do your worst, treat me like your first,
Rip me apart! and break my heart…
‘Cause now you’ve got me where you want me and i wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else…

-Liked You Better-
Did my words ever mean anything?
Or was it over before it began?
You hid behind a wall of confusion… But deep inside you knew it all along…
It seemed to last for a while, you were faking every smile…
I hid behind a wall of illusion afraid of showing a weakness and falling apart.

I liked you better when you said nothing
I liked you better when you said nothing at all
And i wish we could keep on pretending
But we can’t and yet you did all along…

The world around me keeps on spinning…
And the clock inside me just stopped ticking…
We’re out of time and out of touch, and deep inside you knew it all along…
It seemed to last for a while, you were faking every smile…
I hid behind a wall of illusion afraid of showing a weakness and falling apart.

-Couldn’t Wait-
Couldn’t wait to get me out of your system, you wanted to break away from the past.
You didn’t know what you wanted but in your heart you needed more.
So you came, you went, you took it all, took it all and still wanted more.
In the end to me it shouldn’t matter because now i know where i belong…
At the bottom of the biggest mile high pile of regrets playing on your mind.
At the bottom of the biggest mile high pile of regrets that you kept inside.

You couldn’t wait to go ahead and do the things that you said you never wanted to do.
You couldn’t wait to explore the ocean of the people and the things you never knew.
So you jumped right in and you took it all, took it all and still wanted more.
In the end to me it shouldn’t matter because now i know where i belong…
At the bottom of the biggest mile high pile of regrets playing on your mind.
At the bottom of the biggest mile high pile of regrets that you kept inside.

So you came, you went, you took it all, took it all and still wanted more.
In the end to me it shouldn’t matter because now i know where i belong…
At the bottom of the biggest mile high pile of regrets playing on your mind.
At the bottom of the biggest mile high pile of regrets that you kept inside.

-Don’t-
They say dream aint enough for a broken heart, so i stopped dreaming.
And the stars in the sky have lost all their meaning, well so have i and tonight i’m leaving,
To fight in a war without a cause to kill some time and to find some piece of mind,
To break the hold that you’ve had on me and to set my heart and soul free.

Yeah you were an angel, the angel of death, you blew my mind and ripped out my insides.
And i was the love child of heaven and hell, i wore my heart on my sleeve
But you broke that aswell when you said;
Don’t look back if you’re expecting to see me
‘Cause i won’t be there,
I’ve given up on you…

‘Cause when i needed help you weren’t around…
Then you’d pick me up to shoot me down…
I’m sick of you preaching
Give me something to believe in ’cause i’m not fooling around…

I needed help but no one was around…
You’d pick me up to shoot me down…
I’m sick of you preaching
Give me something to believe in
This time i’m not fooling around…
You see it’s over this time, i signed my name on the dotted line, i told you i missed you but i couldn’t kiss you
I’d never felt so strange until i jumped on that plane when i left that night…
Because i found a note in my pocket
Of hope…
Saying ”when you left, i didn’t expect to feel like half my soul had been ripped from my insides”
You said you never meant to let me go, or ever let me down.
”And i’ll never forget, the memories we stored in that glass jar behind your door, or the kiss that we shared until we both passed out on the floor…
I fell in love with you but you were not mine to fall in love with
I fell in love with you, now i must apologize and say goodbye…
But will you ever come back home?”

I’ll never come back home…

-Picture On My Wall-
I wish i didn’t have to miss you
I wish i’d woke up yesterday, it’s gonna be a long long night so i’ll pray to god for a better day tomorrow…
There’s no words that i could use to describe this pain inside…
I’m sorry my love, i guess you ought to know;
I’m losing blood while you’re losing sleep
We’re losing each other because I’m weak
You know i love you so please don’t call
I’ve got your picture on my wall and that’s enough…

I lost all feeling in my limbs when the bullet pierced my skin
I saw the places i used to go and the faces i used to know…
There’s no words that i could use to describe this pain inside…
I’m sorry my love, i guess you ought to know;
I’m losing blood while you’re losing sleep
We’re losing eachother because i’m weak
You know i love you so please don’t call
I’ve got your picture on my wall
I’m losing blood while you’re losing sleep
You lost your mind, i lost my teeth
You know i love you so please don’t call
I’ve got your picture on my wall and that’s enough.

-Shot Down-
Well in the end it doesn’t matte which road you take because they all end up the same…
Broken hearts and shattered dreams
Sometimes life’s not what it seems and before you know it you’ve been shot down…
Yeah you’ve been shot down…

(woah, woah) I got lost along the way, i just want to re-live yesterday…
(woah, woah) ‘Cause i’ve got so much left to say, yes i’ve got so much left to say!

I fell in love and you drove me crazy. a ride across the bridge between heaven and hell…
Guess where i fell?

(woah, woah) I got lost along the way, i just want to re-live yesterday…
(woah, woah) ‘Cause i’ve got so much left to say, yes i’ve got so much left to say!

Well in the end it doesn’t matte which road you take because they all end up the same…
Broken hearts and shattered dreams
Sometimes life’s not what it seems and before you know it
(you’ve been shot down…)
I don’t wanna die, i just wanna live cause i’ve got so much left to say and i’ve got so much left to give,
(you’ve been shot down…)
I don’t wanna die, i just wanna live cause i’ve got so much left to say and i’ve got so much left to give,
(you’ve been shot down…)
I don’t wanna die, i just wanna live cause i’ve got so much left to say and i’ve got so much left to give,
(you’ve been shot down…)
I don’t wanna die, i just wanna live cause i’ve got so much left to say and i’ve got so much left to…?

End…
