Give me mercy and a minute now
I'm a bleed a little poison out
I'm a cry a little river down
And then I'm setting this whole thing on fire

And I'm burning up the night she died
And I'm putting every last picture aside
I'm gonna say what I need to say
In my very last letter to you

Cause you always made it clear
Said that you'd never be my pain
So here's to you and your bright baby blues
And just a pause to cool the refrain

And you said you were satisfied
And now this body's just waiting to die
And that you missed him sometimes but you said it's alright
It's just a whole lot harder alone

But I wish you knew her now
She's a better side of me now
And I'm doing the best I can
It's what you wanted

And I see you like you were there
And I know just how you'd smile
Mary, you looked just like it was 1930 that night

But here the days will eat you alive
But I won't give in tonight
You said it's not worth my time
And not to regard them

And not to settle just for piece of mind
But I can wait it out all night
If you'll just keep breathing

But Mary I found a sound
And this heart keeps pouring it out
And the glory hasn't come and it's probably gonna fade
Like a tattoo that hides the shame

And the reasons always fade
And the pain gets out some day
So I'm saying my goodbyes to your deep blue eyes
Cause I don't know how to say, "Stay still in the pain.
Stay still in the pain."

But I wish you knew her now
She's a better side of me now
And I'm doing the best I can
It's what you wanted

And I see you like you were there
And I know just how you'd smile
Mary, you looked just like it was 1930 that night

If I recall the last thing you said to me
Before it broke up, before it took you from me
And you said, "I love you more than the stars in the sky
But your name just escapes me tonight."

I remembered black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing in sight
But memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

In every loss
In every lie
In every truth that you'd deny
And each regret
And each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
Across this new divide

The bloody angle
The symmetry
Your cheap adhesive isn't holding me
My mouth is a gun I can shoot
I can show you the truth
And I don't need a reason to lie to you
No pun intended
No punishment
If I offended you, you needed it!
Ideas are the bombs in your mind
A fissure in time
If you don't have a weapon,
You can't have mine!

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can fail if i feel the need

This face, is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh, I'm not afraid!
I'm giving into grievances again
Your looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the Devil, but I won't be your hero!

The catatonic,
The sacrilege,
Your primadonnas are a privilege
My god has a need to react,
Its as simple as that
It's better just to settle
Than face the facts

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can fail if i feel the need

This face, is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh, I'm not afraid!
I'm giving into grievances again
Your looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the Devil but I won't be your hero!

One thing that I can't stand
Is when the minutes fight the second hand
I'll waste a life times worth
Just to cling to one more day

No f***ing quarter
No premiums
The world is stuck in delirium
Man! Is a four letter word
It's really absurd
The hate isn't fake, its just inferred

Oh, I'm not afraid!
I'm giving into grievances again
I'm down to absolute zero
Another Zealot with the weight of the f***ing world.

Oh, I'm not afraid!
And I won't let you down as I hold you in
Your looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the Devil but I won't be your hero!

Since I know how low to go
I wont let it show
Won't you touch me touch me, I won't let it go
And now I stand, and I peel for more.
Won't you touch me touch me, I won't let it go

Yes I've finally found a reason
I don't need an excuse
I've got this time on my hands
You are the one to abuse

Yes I've finally found a reason
I don't need an excuse
I've got this time on my hands
You are the one to abuse

You're always talking back to me
You won't let it be, won't you touch me touch me
It never bothered you before
Now I stand and I peel for more, wont you touch me touch me, i won't let it go

Yes I've finally found a reason
I don't need an excuse

Ooohh
Yeeahh yeah

Yeeahh yeah

Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine
Time won't keep us anymore
It's the usefulness of letting go
Your perfect plan has come and gone
Like the nuclear centuries' benefits

They say
You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach
You bought the same old trip

Lawful, vengeful, awful, friendship, misfits
Bits of feeling, thieving, fits inside revealing
Time to censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine

You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach (we don't mind the scope)
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream (we all lie)
You bought the same old

Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, paid to
Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine

You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach (we don't mind the scope)
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream (we all lie beyond)
You bought the same old trip

I need you
Here with me
Don't take this
Too far now

Your eyes seem
So lonely
Inside you
Feel like you lost your mind

Could've been the champagne, the champagne
Could've been the cocaine, the cocaine
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Could've been a bad day, a bad day
Could've been the real way, the real way
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Through

And I miss you
All day now
I'm screaming
Inside out

Don't tempt me
'Cause I'll break you
I don't need this
And I'll burn this whole thing down

Could've been the champagne, the champagne
Could've been the cocaine, the cocaine
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Could've been a bad day, a bad day
Could've been the real way, the real way
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Through
We were through

I wish you
Would take from me
Everything
I cannot be

With eyes so blind
You cannot see
That I won't ever leave

Could've been the champagne, the champagne
Could've been the cocaine, the cocaine
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Could've been a bad day, a bad day
Could've been the real way, the real way
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Through
We were through
Now we're through

We're the day birds
Deciding to fly against the sky
Within our dreams we all wake up
To kiss the ones who are born to die

We're the greying herds
Hurting each the other with our lives
Within our dreams we all wake up
To kiss the ones who are born, born to die (
The drum fish, they beached themselves in The blackbirds, they fell in thousands from the sky
Their red wings, streaming down from the higher seas
Deflected, by the ground they crowned the sun

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun (But I believe that they are free
When their time was done (They were drowned by the only One (But I believe that they are free, washed by the sun

Our statues, the soaring edifice of our times
Detracted, from the ways of the wise
The future, will view all history as crime
So father, tell us when is the time to rise

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun (But I believe that they are free
When their time was done (They were drowned by the only One (But I believe that they are free



We're the day birds

Define your meaning of war
To me it's what we do when we're bored
I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop
And it makes me want it more
Because I'm hyped up, outta control
If it's a fight I'm ready to go
I wouldn't put my money on the other guy
If you know what I know that I know

It's been a long time comin'
And the table's turned around
Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down
I'm not runnin'
It's a little different now
Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down!

Define your meaning of fun
Is it f***in', druggin' or guns
I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop
So get ready for another one
Let's take a trip down memory lane
The words circulate in my brain
You can treat this like another all the same
But don't cry like a b**** when you feel the pain

It's been a long time comin'
And the table's turned around
Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down
I'm not runnin'
It's a little different now
Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down!

This is hardly worth fighting for
But it's the little petty s*** that I can't ignore
When my fist hits your face
And your face hits the floor

It'll be a long time comin'
Bet you got the message now
Cause I was never goin'
Yeah, you're the one that's goin' down!

One of us is goin' down
I'm not runnin'
It's a little different now
Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down!

One of us is goin' down!

Don't let go.
Tonight, where did you go?
Your expression is familiar.

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll, a'roll

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction

Acting like a robot
It's metal brain corrodes
You try to take it's pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes, explodes

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction

The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, tall

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction

La la la (rich kids),
La la la.

Yo, turn that s*** up.

I coulda went to college like rich kids do,
Buyin' weed with the money your mom sent you,
But I don't give a damn 'bout no higher degree,
'Cause you know in rock and roll, I got a PhD, b****.

(That's right, kids.)

We got all that we need, packed it up in the van,
Put the pedal to the floor, gave the finger to the man.

I'm not a rich kid, maybe that's a good thing,
Ain't got s***, but I got this far.
Keepin it real and rhymin' and stealin'
Doing what I want.

Oh ay oh, got no money but it's
Al-wa-ys, Always sunny honey.

(Yeah, that's right, Always sunny honey,
Here we go, second verse.)

I'm broke as a drunkie but I have a good time,
All the ladies think I'm cute cause they like the way I rhyme,
And the high school kids steal my mp3s,
Ain't no other mother(f***er) rock this mic like me.

Chyea

I'm not a rich kid, maybe that's a good thing,
Ain't got s***, but I got this far.
Keepin it real and rhymin' and stealin',
Doing what I want.

Oh ay oh, got no money but it's
Al-wa-ys, Always sunny honey.

We got all that we need, (We got all that we need)
We got all that we need, (We got all that we need)
We got all that we need, packed it up in the van,
Put the pedal to the floor, gave the finger to the man.

I'm not a rich kid, maybe that's a good thing,
Ain't got s***, but I got this far.
Keepin it real and rhymin' and stealin',
Doing what I want.

Oh ay oh, got no money but it's
Al-wa-ys, Always sunny honey.

(Always sunny honey,
Ha ha ha (rich kids).
Always sunny honey,

[Deuce]:
I thought I told ya, I came to party.

[Deuce]:
Hey bar tender, can I get a cup?
Tonight's my night and I'm gettin' f***ed up.
I hope I still got the charm, got the luck,
'Cause all these b****es and ho's look like so much fun.

[Travie McCoy]:
And I just stepped in the club,
Feelin' my self like a braille book,
Double-fistin' two pitchers of pale ale,
Both stale as f***.
And all these busted females
Lined up at the bathroom,
In and out,
We know what they doin'.

[Deuce]: Chorus:
I came to party, I came to party.
Hands up girl give me that body.
I can tell you want somethin' from me,
'Cause everything you think girl I can see.
I came to party, I came to party.
Hands up girl give me that body.
I'm a make you mine before I leave,
'Cause every little thing you do to me,
Got me goin' crazy.

[Deuce]:
I thought I told ya, I came to party.

[Deuce]:
Let's have a party girl,
You can bring your friends tonight,
After the club
We can play all the games you like.
Yeah the stakes are high,
But if your cards right,
You'll be wakin' up naked;
What happened last night?

[Travie McCoy]:
Too bad you're, just another notch in the bedpost,
Tryin' a get close and cuddly.
My girl stays in Brooklyn,
You just my west-coast f*** buddy.
Get that through your skull girl,
I'm here for one night,
And please quit f***in' up my buzz 'cause

[Deuce]: Chorus
I came to party, I came to party.
Hands up girl give me that body.
I can tell you want somethin' from me,
'Cause everything you think girl I can see.
I came to party, I came to party.
Hands up girl give me that body.

'Cause every little thing you do to me,
Got me goin' crazy.

Ya I came, I came, to party

Sip, sip, sip, sip, sippin' on some bomb s***.

Sip, sip, sip, sip, we party hard and never quit,
West coast, east coast, yeah you lovin' it.
Sip, sip, sip, sip, sippin' on some bomb s***.

Show me how to lie
You're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
Is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back in the line
A mob jumps to their feet

Now dance, f***er, dance
Man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sights
So play it out I'm wide awake
It's a scene about me
There's something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want
Well it's all because of me

Now dance, f***er, dance
Man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

And now you'll lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
Trust, deceived!

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Now dance, f***er, dance
He never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

So dance, f***er, dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Clever alibis
Lord of the flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Don't listen what your girlfriend says
She reads those magazines
They say you failed the test
And don’t have what she needs
I slither like a viper
And get you by the neck

I know a thousand ways
To help you forget about her
That b**** can eat her heart out

Love bites
But so do I
So do I
Love bites
But so do I
So do I
Love bites

I look so pale and vicious
You're foaming at the mouth
You suffered in the darkness
I’ll suck the pain right out
So come and taste the reason
Im nothing like the rest

I'll kiss you in a way
You'll never forget about me
That chick can eat her heart out

Love bites
But so do I
So do I
Love bites
But so do I
So do I
So do I

It takes you in and kicks you down
It chews you up and spits you out
It messes with your sanity
By twisting all your thoughts around
They say it’s blind
They say it waits
But every time it seals your fate
Now it's got you by the balls
And won't let go until you fall

I said hey love, I’ve had enough
I’ve felt pleasure without pain
My soul, you'll never die

Love bites
But so do I

-Solo-

Love bites
But so do I
So do I
Love bites
But so do I
So do I
So do I

Love bites
And so do I
So do I
Love bites
Love bites

Even with a diagram of my DNA
I leave scientists baffled 'till the end of the day
They try to pick apart my life-style and how I survive
Making money for the boss while I make nickel and dime
And being on time, takin' a punch and doin' my best
Not ever hearing, 'Good job' and staying upset
It doesn't take to much to find the sediments they left behind

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Not even with ten men holding me back
Not even with a devious planned attack
Contemplating every move that I play
Willing the bad things all away
Keeping the worry-free happiness philosophy
That's what I let them see when they try to look at me

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Don't want out

These issues arise every day
Though you try to turn your head and walk away
Though it leaves you feeling insecure
You're gonna feel your life mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me

Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now, the path called Just because the sun has come

Jesus, won't you f***ing whistle
Something but the past and done?
Jesus, won't you f***ing whistle
Something but the past and done?

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well

I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down

Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but the past and done

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Ah, why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
Why?

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well

I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over
Ah, why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
Why?

I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
