Don't Waste the Light
04:12
|
|||
Night... closes in, here we are, the town looking back again
Fight... no one wins, but we’re never gonna back down, this is how it ends
Remember when we ran, leaving tracks all through that sand
I don’t wanna waste the light
Been a long time coming on tonight
I don’t wanna waste the light
So let’s run on through the streets tonight
White... bleached our sins, as the moon washes over dirty skin
So bite... chased by grin, let the blood run down without a flinch
Remember when we ran, leaving tracks all through that sand
I don’t wanna waste the light
Been a long time coming on tonight
I don’t wanna waste that light
The dark dawn is coming into sight
I don’t wanna waste the light
Let’s run on through the streets tonight
(I’ve been waiting alone) Steal it all away, my friend
(I’ve been waiting alone) Time will wait for no man now
Steeple chasing those clouds, erasing worries still wearing thin
This sound is so deafening now
I don’t wanna waste the light
Been a long time coming on tonight
I don’t wanna waste that light
The dark dawn is coming into sight
I don’t wanna waste the light
So let’s run on through the streets tonight
Let’s run on and chase our youth tonight, c’mon and
Run on through the streets tonight
Let’s run on and chase our youth... tonight

Dangerous

Oh, my, look at all the silly little people
They’re all dancing… spinning in circles
Can’t you see them… they’re all around me
Am I the only one here that’s gone crazy?
Yeah, I think I’ve lost my mind
Somebody tell me I’m fine
Oh, my, look at all these pretty little time bombs
Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock... ones gonna go off
Can’t you see them... they’re all around me
I’m not the only one here that’s gone crazy
Yeah, I think I’ve lost my mind
Somebody tell me I’m fine
You can’t go walking around me ‘cause
Tonight I think I’ve gone crazy
I’m not the only one who’s dangerous
Oh, my, look at all the fragile little people
They’re all dancing... spinning their circles
Can’t you hear them... they’re all around me
Am I the only one here that’s gone crazy?
Yeah, I think I’ve lost my mind
Somebody tell me I’m fine
Oh yeah, I think I’ve lost my mind!
I think I’m dangerous, I know I’m dangerous
I’d say I’m dangerous, God damn I’m dangerous
I know who's dangerous, I said I’m dangerous…
You can’t go walking around me ‘cause
Tonight I think I’ve gone crazy
You can’t go walking around me ‘cause
Tonight I want to go crazy
You can’t go walking around me ‘cause
Tonight I know I’ve gone crazy
I’m not the only one who’s dangerous

Prison Man
04:20
|
|||
Oh God, take away these sins
I’ve gone and done it again
Lock me away inside this pen
I’m a prison man, and that’s all I’ve ever been
See this man, and you see the blood upon his chin
Like a statue, he’s fighting off the wind
I hope these chains hold, less we cannot pretend
He’s gonna kill again, he’s a prison man within
Lock me up and throw away this key
No, the devil, he’s got nothing on me
Father taught me how to stand
But, I was born a prison man
It didn’t take long for that knife to hit the bone
When that freedom’s gone, there ain’t no coming home
Smell that rain and that damn dirty stain
I’m just a prison man, that’s what I’ll always sing
Lock me up and throw away this key
No, the devil, he’s got nothing on me
Father taught me how to stand
But, I was born a prison man
Lock me up and throw away this key
No, the devil, he’s got nothing on me
Father taught me how to stand
But, I was born a prison man

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it die
Let it die, let it die, let it die
Come, gimme my soul
You took it all away from me, girl
I need it back although, you can keep the key
Come hold my hands, and walk me to my grave
Please dig it nice and deep, like the way you said you loved me
I heard you’d be there, right up till the end
So just beware of this broken skin
Please, now I’m screaming on my knees
Give it back, girl, what you took from me
Come, gimme my soul
You took it all away from me, girl
Cause when you lost control, hey at least you were set free
Now hold my hands, and walk me to your grave
No, need to worry cause I’ll keep it nice and clean, so pretty
If I’d known back then, what I know right now
Then this brittle heart it would not bleed out
You cannot pretend to see what’s not there
I’ll just breathe in all this heavy air
Please, now I’m screaming on my knees
Give it back, girl, what you took from me
I hoped that you wouldn’t see
In my mind, girl, screaming like banshees... oh no
Blood ran red, tears ran blue
We were sweet, but now, we’re dead too
Took all that you had, till you could not stand
And that nieve heart, no it would not bend
See that I loved you, up until the end
What you threw away, I still regret
Please, now I’m screaming on my knees
Give it back, girl, what you took from me
I hope that you couldn’t see
In my mind, girl, screaming like banshees
Now she’s gone and thrown into the creek
One more time, girl, then I’ll stop dreaming... of you
What she took from me!
From me!

Heavy Hands
04:05
|
|||
Sitting here by myself, 25 bottles off the shelf
Heavy hands on no one else, while I listen... to the breeze
This is the way that I spend my days
While you’re falling down onto those knees
Don’t come ‘round here knocking
Tryin’ to sell your fucked up faith to me
I tried to listen to the world, but it all ended up in vain
They don’t know me very well, and that’s ok with me
I tried to listen to the girl, but it all ended up in flames
So please clear a path for me, I might go a little...
The floor seems so much colder in the dark
When you’re sitting here with your heart pulled apart
If I had known that it would feel like this
I think I would’ve done things... different
I know exactly how I have been told
But it makes no difference, you still grow old and
You move on and time grows fast
So forget one thing, is to forget the past
I tried to listen to the world, but it all ended up in vain
They don’t know me very well, and that’s ok with me
I tried to listen to the girl, but it all ended up in flames
So please clear a path for me, I might go a little insane
Yeah, insane
Uh oh, no... uh oh, look what you’ve done
Uh oh, no... uh oh, look what you’ve done
Uh oh, no... uh oh, look what you’ve done
Uh oh, no...
I tried to listen to the world, but it all ended up in vain
They don’t know me very well, and that’s ok with me
I tried to listen to the girl, but it all ended up in flames
So please clear a path for me, I might go a little insane
Oh no, I'm insane, no more
Insane, oh no, I'm insane

One More Time (Change)
03:46
|
|||
She’s never been happy with the things that I can’t change
Now I’m gonna watch her walk away
Yeah, I’ll watch you walk away, baby
I’ve never been nothing more than a man fooled by fate
I’m gonna watch you walk away
Yeah, I’m a watch you walk away
One more time!
How could we come to this?
One more time!
This place I know, I’m really gonna miss
Oh no, no, no, well damn, she walked away
Oh no, no, no, there goes all my faith
Oh no, no, no, please take this blame from me
Maybe then the thought about thinking of you
Wouldn’t cause so much pain, just walk away
She’s always begging, please, to share just a little piece of me
Some things are harder to say, and some you never would believe
This head it gets so filled with dirtiness and shame
So I guess you’ll have to walk away, yeah
I’m gonna watch you walk away
One more time!
How could we come to this?
One more time!
This place I know, I’m really gonna miss
Oh no, no, no, well damn, she walked away
Oh no, no, no, there goes all my faith
Oh no, no, no, please take this blame from me
Maybe then the thought about thinking of you
Wouldn’t cause so much pain
What should I say... I know you prayed all this would change
I hope some day... that you’ll take me just this way
One more time!
How could we come to this?
One more time!
This place I know, I’m really gonna miss, yeah
Oh no, no, no, well damn, she walked away
Oh no, no, no, there goes all my faith
Oh no, no, no, please take this blame from me
Maybe then the thought about thinking of you
Maybe then the thought about thinking of you
Maybe then the thought about thinking of you
Wouldn’t cause so much pain, just walk away!

Break Me
03:49
|
|||
Come, show me a sign, show me the light
Show me something to pray for
I’ve got the time, I’m gonna find you
What is hiding in plain sight
Oh, she can barely breathe around me
So come, bury the sun, show me the moon
Show me someone to be like
Trust the holy one, like a fool
You know I might just be right
Hush, let it be
Won’t you see that she’s the devil inside of me
I, I’ve got the spoon, you know what’s right
Now we hide in plain sight
Oh, she can barely breathe around me
Now she’s lonely, she takes what she needs...
To break me
No, you can’t break me
No, you can’t break me
Back on the road, same place to show
What you’re blaming me for
So wouldn’t you know, the secrets unfold
And now there’s no place for keeping
Hush, let it be
Won’t you see that she’s the devil inside of me
I, I’ve got the spoon, you know what’s right
Now we hide in plain sight
Oh, she can barely breathe around me
Now she’s lonely, she takes what she needs...
To break me
No, you can’t break me
No, you can’t break me
No, you can’t break me
No, you can’t break me
No, you can’t break me down
No, you can’t break me down
No, you can’t break me down
No, you can’t break me down
No, you can’t break me

There’s safety deep within
Into the darkness, through the skin
Look through the eyes of the last lost son
And you will notice that not everyone… is laughing
And I am giving in
You know me, I can’t deal with this shit
One last dark trip into the wind
Set sail, I won’t look back again... I’ve given all I can
I don’t how to win
Tried forever just to give up this shit
Go on and push it deep within
Sound the sirens and the “shoulda beens” again
Let go and seize the night
Come with me on a moon ride
Close your eyes and see inside
Get out while you’re still alive
I’ve seen your evil grin
It fucked with me and my newborn sins
So I’ll bury you within
And keep the secrets where they should’ve been
Now they’re back again
Let go and seize the night
Come with me on a moon ride
Close your eyes and see inside
Get out while you’re still alive, alive, alive
Alive, alive, you’re alive
And I am giving in
You fucked with me and my newborn sins
So I’ll bury you within
And keep these secrets where they should’ve been
Now I’m back again

Maybe Someday
04:39
|

I know that I’ve heard this before
Every time you walk out that door
It’s coldest when it’s all your fault
And you know it’s darkest when it’s all gone
You’ve seen me crawl on that floor
You know I was falling down looking for more
And you know it’s coldest when we’re all gone... long gone
We can’t always breathe
But baby, you know, someway
I’ll see you someday, somehow
We... can’t always breathe
But maybe someday
I’ll see you someway, somehow
Oh, it hurts so bad honey, well...
I’ll take you where we used to go
Back to that place
With the train and the pine trees
So why you wanna shoot me, do tell
Don’t hold it against me no more
Broke all I had, now I’m lying on the floor
We can’t always breathe
But baby, you know, someway
I’ll see you someday, somehow
We... can’t always breathe
But maybe someday
I’ll see you someway, somehow
Well, I know that you wanna go
But, you won’t take me, well that’s ok
I’ll make my way into the sunset and say
I remember those chains that you’d wear so well
One last glass of wine
I guess it’s time that I met mine
I know that we... can’t always breathe
But baby, you know, someway
I’ll see you someday, somehow
I know that we ... can’t always breathe
But maybe someday
I’ll see you someway, somehow
I know that we... can’t always breathe
But baby, you know, someway
I’ll see you someday, somehow
I know that we ... can’t always breathe
But maybe someday
I’ll see you someway, somehow

Remember that road that you found me on?
What were you looking for?
Did you find the one, and only one?
Or was it just another broken door?
Did you see that tree with the hole beside her?
It’s where I used to go, and it’s where I lost my soul
And I’m telling you to please keep moving on
I’m not giving up just yet
So would you take my hand?
Show me where this long road ends
And I just hope you’ll understand
I’m doing the best I can
With all of these untended partial threads
I keep fighting with these ghosts in the mirror
They haunt me through the dead of the night
This old room, no, I can’t see clearer
Well, I’ll walk you through, but never turn on the light
And I’m telling you to please keep moving on
‘Cause I’m stitching up all that I’ve got wrong
I’m not giving up just yet
So would you take my hand?
Show me where this long road ends
And I just hope you’ll understand
That I’m doing the best I can
With all of these untended partial threads
Your broken heart, you’ll find it here instead
And you’re all inside me now
TIme, time keeps moving on
And I’m still stitching up all that I’ve got wrong
And I’ll find myself someday
I’m not giving up just yet
So would you take my hand?
Show me where this long road ends
And I just hope you’ll understand
That I’m doing the best I can
With all of these untended partial threads
Your broken heart, you’ll find it here instead
And you’re all inside me now... inside me now
