I'm your dream, make you real

Sad but true

Sad but true

I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reasoned alibis
I'm inside open your eyes
I'm you

Sad but true

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

Something has to change, undeniable dilemma
Boredom's not a burden anyone should bear
Constant overstimulation numbs me
But I would not want you any other way

'Cause it's not enough, I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I said, I don't want it, I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive

Finger deep within the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Relax, turn around and take my hand

I can help you change tired moments into pleasure
Say the word and we'll be well upon our way
Blend and balance pain and comfort deep within you
Till you will not want me any other way

But it's not enough, I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I said, I don't want it, I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive

Knuckle deep inside the borderline
This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to
Relax, slip away

There's something kind of sad about
The way that things have come to be
Desensitized to everything
What became of subtlety?

How can this mean anything to me
If I really don't feel anything at all?
Yeah
I'll keep digging 'til I feel something

Elbow deep inside the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Shoulder deep within the borderline
Relax, turn around and take my hand

I am what you fear most
I am what you need
I am what you made me
I am the American Dream

I'm not selling out; I'm buying in
I will not be forgotten
This is my time to shine
I've got the scars to prove it
Only the strong survive
I'm not afraid of dying
Everyone has their time
Life never favored weakness
Welcome to the pride

Disneyland, Whitehouse, JFK, and Mickey Mouse
John Wayne, Springsteen, Eastwood, James Dean
Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Playboy, "text me"
NFL, NBA, Brett Favre, King James

I am all-American
I am living the dream
I am what you fear most
I am anarchy

I'm not selling out; I'm buying in
I will not be forgotten
This is my time to shine
I've got the scars to prove it
Only the strong survive
I'm not afraid of dying
Everyone has their time
Life never favored weakness
Welcome to the pride

Since the dawn of time
Only the strong have survived
I will not be forgotten

Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle, one not on the list
Send away for a perfect world
One not simply so absurd
In these times of doing what you're told
Keep these feelings, no one knows

What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45 (.45)
Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a .45

Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high upon a shelf
Left for you, no one else
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight

What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45 (.45)
Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a .45

Everyone's pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
Nobody knows what I believe
I believe

And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45 (.45)
Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a .45

And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45 (.45)
And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a .45
(.45)
.45 (Staring down the barrel of a .45)

Come and give me that Wildfire!
The uncivilized sound that I love
The primitive, like a blaze style!
Consciousness vibes I and I know
The untamed flame that I desire!
Me want uncultivated Jah glow
Foolish intensity, versatile!
He'll fly the spirit high, take me higher!

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire will never end

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire never ends

I want to feel that Wildfire!
Irregular burning of the sun
Shining through, make you spit fire!
Savage combustion, let it go
Impetuous, fervor testifier!
Outlandish passions I know
Crucial rhythms no Denial!
Musical nation, Empire!

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire will never end

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire never ends

One leads with the passion
Tribal fire will never end
The righteous will burn again
Tribal fire will never end
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire will never end
Tribal fire will never end

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire never ends

Well sweet little sista's high in hell cheat'n on a halo

Demon-warp is coming alive in 1965

Yeah!
Yo, you were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no
I followed, so taken
So conditioned, I could never let go
Then sorrow, then sickness
Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious
So afraid I couldn’t let myself see

That I could never be held
Back or up no, I hold myself
Check the rep, yep, you know mine well
Forget the rest, let them know my hell
There and back, yet my soul ain’t sell
Kept respect up, the best, they fell
Let the rest be the tale they tell
That I was there saying

In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie
I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go
Go
Go

Test my will, test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y’all go hard, I go smart
How’s that working out for y’all in the back, huh?
I’ve seen that frustration
Been crossed and lost and told no
And I’ve come back unshaken
Let down and lived and let go

So you can let it be known
I don’t hold back, I hold my own
I can’t be mapped, I can’t be cloned
I can’t C-flat, it ain’t my tone

I can’t fall back, I came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
’Cause I was there saying

In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie
I can see through
This time I finally let you go
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)

No, you can tell ’em all now
I don’t back up, I don’t back down
I don’t fold up and I don’t bow
I don’t roll over, don’t know how
I don’t care where the enemies are
Can’t be stopped, all I know, go hard
Won’t forget how I got this far
For every time saying

In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie
I can see through
This time I finally let you
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)

Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go

When passion's lost and all the trust is gone
Way too far, for way too long
Children crying, cast out and neglected
Only in a world so cold, only in a world this cold
Hold the hand of your best friend
Look into their eyes
Then watch them drift away
Some might say, we've done the wrong things
For way too long, for way to long

Fever inside the storm
So I'm turning away
Away from the name (Calling your names)
Away from the stones (Throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us
Keep your thorns
'Cause I'm running away
Away from the games (stupid head games)
Away from the space (Hate this head space)
The circumstances of a world so cold

Burning whispers, remind me of the days
I was left alone, in a World this cold
Guilty of the same things, provoked by the cause
I've left alone, in a world so cold

Fever inside the storm
So I'm turning away
Away from the name (Calling your names)
Away from the stones (Throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us
Keep your thorns
'Cause I'm running away
Away from the games (stupid head games)
Away from the space (Hate this head space)
The circumstances of a World so cold

I'm flying, I'm flying away
Away from the names (Calling your names)
Away from the games (stupid head games)
The circumstances of a world so cold

Why does everyone feel like my enemy?
Don't want any part of depression or darkness
I've had enough
Sick and tired
Bring the sun
Or I'm gone, or I'm gone

I'm backing out, I'm no pawn
No motherf***ing slave to this
Never lied
Never left
Never lived
Never loved
Never lost
Never hurt
Never worry about being me, or anyone else
Not a care, no concern, don't give a s*** about anything

Backing out, giving up
No motherf***ing slave to this
Never lied
Never left
Never lived
Never loved
Never lost
Never hurt
Never worry about being me, or anyone else
Not a care, no concern, don't give a s*** about anything

I need to find a darkened corner
A lightless corner
Where it's safer and calmer

I'm turning away
Away from the name (Calling your names)
Away from the stones (Throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

I'm running away
Away from the games (stupid head games)
Away from the space (Hate this head space)
The circumstances of a world so cold

I'm flying, I'm flying away
Away from the names (Calling your names)
Away from the games (stupid head games)
The circumstances of a world so cold

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."

You're the dark to light
You're never satisfied
You only know things
That will fail to be
The pessimistic one
Who sees the end to come
Every joy is lost to tragedy

And still you wonder why
You cannot find your peace today
Cause you were meant to live
For so much more than this
Now if only you could see

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
There ain't a cloud in sight still
Your heartbeat's cold and grey every day

You know it brings me down
The way you drag around
Your heavy heart just like a stone
Well keep your misery
Don't put it all on me
Cause I've got problems of my own

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
So keep your cloud of darkness
And doom off my parade
Here today

And if I could you know
I'd set off a spark
I would burn it out
I would burn it all the way
And purify your jaded
Cold calloused heart
Someday, I'll find a way

-Solo-

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
There ain't a cloud in sight still
Your heartbeat's cold and grey every day

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
Someday I'll steal the spark
That will burn your doubt away
I'll find a way

Whatsoever I've feared has come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when every day seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded and now I'm doing time
Now I'm doing time

'Cause I've fell on black days
I've fell on black days (x2)

Whomsoever I've cured, I've sickened now
Whomsoever I've cradled, I've put you down
searchlight so they say, but I can't see it in the night
I'm only faking when I get it right
When I get it right

'Cause I've fell on black days
I've fell on black days (x2)

How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?

So what you wanted to see good has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours, you've made it mine
So don't you lock up something that you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking, no, not tying
No, not tying

I sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
Yeah, I sure don't mind
I sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change

But I've fell on black days
I've fell on black days

How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?
I sure don't mind a change

The hating and the waiting, hesitating
I just wanna be done with you
Faking for the taking but I'm waking…
Up to the fact that you're lying and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It's pathetic and poetic

It's just SICK!
It's just SICK!

Is "compromise" something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open

Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving
All the damage is done
You've broken any notion of trust
Cause you're lying and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It's pathetic and poetic

It's just SICK!
It's just SICK!

Is "compromise" something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open

Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving
All the damage is done

All the damage DONE!
(Solo)
All the damage DONE!

Is "compromise" something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open

Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open
(Force my hand…)
(Eyes are wide open…)

The lying and denying is just sick!
The lying and denying is just sick!
It's just sick!

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!

I'm the man in the box
Buried in my s***
Won't you come and save me, save me

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut

I'm the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in s***
Won't you come and save me, save me

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut
