To Be Loved

Listen up, turn it up and rock it out
party on, I wanna hear you scream and shout
this is real, as real as it gets
I came to get down to get some fucking respect
taking it back to hardcore level
you better be ready, put your pedal to the metal
taking it back to hardcore level
you better be ready, put your pedal to the metal.

Go!

Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved

I want domination
I want your submission
I see you’re not resisting
To this temptation
I’ve got one confession
A love deprivation
I’ve got a jet black heart
It’s all fucked up and it’s falling apart

Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved

I’ve got another confession
I fell to temptation
And there is no question
There was some connection
I’ve got to follow my heart
No matter how far
I’ve gotta roll the dice
Never look back and never think twice

Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved

Take your past and burn it up and let it go
Carry on; I’m stronger than you’ll ever know
That’s the deal; you get no respect
You’re gonna get yours
You better watch your fucking neck

Take your past and burn it up and let it go
Carry on; I’m stronger than you’ll ever know
That’s the deal; you get no respect
You’re gonna get yours
You better watch your fucking neck

Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved

Alive (N' Out Of Control)

For crying out lord I'm running from a comedown
God forbid I know I've been a letdown
Reaching for the sky while leaving in a gutter
Kicking and screaming I am singing bloody murder
I'm alive when I'm vulnerable
I'm out of control, I'm losing my soul
I can't be your angel when I'm living like a devil
Can't be your lover when I'm living like a rebel
Don't want your pity and I don't want your help
Don't try and save me go take care of yourself
I'm alive! Sick of the pain I'm sick of the sorrow
Sick of today I'm sick of tomorrow
I'm addicted to the misery in my head
I better stop before I end up dead

So I climb to the top just to fall to the bottom
And I climb to the top just to fall to the bottom

Crash

I refuse to be your victim I refuse to be your slave
I keep on burning my bridges
I keep on fucking up everything
Running from desperation god knows where I've been
I don't know where I'm headed
But I'm going too fast I think I'm going to crash
I'm going to crash
I'm going to crash, to crash
It is time for annihilation its time to be a criminal
No time for his hesitation time to be an animal
Looking at my reflection I don't like what I see
So I ask myself a question
Do I got what I want or do I got what I need?
I'm not afraid of the future
Of spinning right out of control
I don't know where I'm headed
But I'm going too fast I think I'm going to crash
I refuse to be a victim, I don't want to fall again
I know where I'm headed
God knows where I've been...
Live-love-life!
Live-love-fight!

The World Around You

Somebody falls in love, somebody breaks a heart
We never fell in love we only fell apart
I'm getting lonely, I need somebody to hold me
I thought I'd never miss her
She cut me out o f her pictures
Take a look at the world around you
Can you see the desperation?
Take a look at the world around you
Can you see the life your living?
Somebody tells the truth, somebody lives a lie
I can see right through, the story is in your eyes
I know what they're saying, there is no need for explaining
There will be nothing better than when I burn all your letters
We never fell in love we only fell apart
We only fell apart
So we pick up the pieces and put 'em together
We said this was gnoa last forever
We never fell in love we only fell apart
Somebody falls in love, somebody breaks a heart
We never fell in love we only fell apart

Forever"

In the brightest hour of my darkest day
I realized what is wrong with me
Can't get over you. can't get through to you
It's been a helter-skelter romance from the start
Take these memories that are Haunting me
Of a paper man cut into shreds by his own pair of scissors
He'll never forgive her...he'll never forgive her...

Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever

Sitting by a fire on a lonely night
Hanging over from another good time
With another girl... little dirty girl
You should listen to this story of a life
You're my heroine-in this moment I'm lonely fulfilling my darkest dreams
All these drugs all these women
I'm never forgiven... this broken heart of mine

Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever,
Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever

One last kiss,
before I go
Dry your tears,
it is time to let you go

One last kiss (one last kiss)
Before I go (before I go)
Dry your tears (dry your tears)
It is Time to let you go

Because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever

One last kiss (one last kiss)
Before I go (before I go)
Dry your tears (dry your tears)
It is time to let you go

One last kiss,
Before I go,
Dry your tears,
it is time to let you go,
One last kiss

I Devise My Own Demise"

I can't control everything
And I can't forget just what I've seen
These memories take me away
To a better place than I am today
I devise my own demise
Here's to life-the life I'm losing
It is time to say hello goodbye (hello goodbye)
To fade away, fade away alone (motherfuck it, goodbye!)
I just want you to take, take me back home
To a better place that I've never known
That I've never known
I can't control everything (death is the only way out!)
And I can't forget just what I've seen (death is the only way out!)
These memories take me away
To a better place that I am today
Than I am today
...this life I'm losing (this life I'm losing)
I devise my...own demise

Time Is Running Out

Woah-o, woah-o, yeah, yeah
You say I'm looking really bad, you say I'm looking really sick
And I don't even care I never really did
So when push comes to shove and I slap you in the face
Just remember one thing...
When its time to fill the void my whole life has been destroyed
And everyone around me says my time is running out
I refuse to surrender, I refuse to surrender
So when I'm out of control and I'm out of my m ind
Just remember one thing, I think I'm just fine
So catch me when I fall, I won't remember a thing at all
So catch me when I fall

What Do You Do?

I got a one-way ticker on a hell-bound train
With nothing to lose and nothing to gain
Nobody ever taught me how to live
I'm feeling like I'm lost- like I'll never be found
I'm twisted and I'm turned around
Nobody ever taught me how to love
I'm hurting everybody I'm hurting myself
I'm desperate
So what do you do
When it all comes down on you?
Do you run and hide
Or face the truth?
If you were to tell me that I'd die today
This is what I'd have to say
I never really had the time to live
And if you were to give me just another chance
Another life, another dance
All I really want to do is love
I'm hurting everybody
I'm hurting myself
I'm desperate
When all is said and done you could be the one
With open arms and open eyes
You're jumping off the edge and hoping you can fly
Accept your fate for what it is
Into the great unknown
...got a one-way ticket on a hell-bound train
With nothing to lose and nothing to gain...

My Heart Is A Fist

I surrender,
I know I've been a pretender
You can have this guilt this misery I wear so well
I wave my flag I sound the alarm
Somebody stop me before I do any harm
I surrender
I know I've been a pretender

I'm living a dead life I'm staring into the headlights
Of a gateway car that'll take me out of my mind tonight

Crash and burn s.o.s. somebody help me get out of this mess of a dead life
I'm burning under the spotlight

My heart is a fist drenched in blood
My soul will fight again

Take a look at these hollow eyes- one last look before I say goodbye
To this candle-lit nightmare I feel like can never escape

So watch me fall from grade-watch me carve my hate
In the heart of a lover I feel I can never escape my fate

My heart is a fist drenched in blood
My soul will fight again

I see you on your cloud looking down
I am on my knees today but you don't notice me
You don't notice me
I'm screaming while I pray
While I pray
While I pray
You don't notice me
I'm sick of you...
I am done with you...

My heart is a fist drenched in blood
My soul will fight again

No More Secrets

I live the days of war
I live the nights of love
I suffer to survive
I gotta gotta gotta stay alive
I hear the battle cries
Their fists are in the sky
I know what I'm fighting for...
No more secrets no more lies
See right through your alibis
Take a look into my eyes
No more secrets no more lies
This is a call to arms
It's time to go to war
It's time to rant and rave
Gotta gotta gotta make a change
Down on the devil street
Is there everybody melts
I know what I'm fighting for...
What does around comes around baby!
You'll get yours one day, that's right!
I want it all I want it now!
Make no mistake, give it to me straight...
What goes around comes around baby!
You'd get yours one day, that's right!

Reckless

Please forgive me while I turn out the lights
Watch this haunted day turn into a wasted night
So cut me off-throw me down
Cause I'm reckless, goddamn son of a bitch!
I'm reckless
So reckless
God save me from this madness
I'm walking on broken glass from the wreckage of my past
I'm locked up in a cage 'cause I'm a prisoner of my ways
So cut me off-throw me out
'cause I'm reckless, I'm a reckless goddamn son of a bitch!
Thank god I've got a women with my name across her heart
Loving me ain't easy, loving me is hard
I'm sorry about the madness but that's the way its gotta be
'cause it takes a crazy woman to love a reckless man like me

The Fire

Die a little everyday
Break the silence when you say
You don't love me anymore
In my face you slam the door
Making up making out
Falling in and falling out
When you kiss me like a stranger
That is when we are in danger
Fly around the fire
In and out of desire
I gotta love you, I gotta have you
Don't want to let you down again
When I kiss you like a lover
That is when we discover
We are burning in the fire
This love will never tire
When I tell you that I need you
Please believe that I won't leave you
You're a diamond I'm a heart
Living in this house of cards
I gotta love you, I gotta have you
Don't want to let you down again

Roses On My Grave

It feels like I'm looking at life
Through a telescope because I'm so high
The ground never seemed so far away
Truth shall be told one day
I'll be under ground one day
I've got a woman that'll putt roses on my grave
Roses on my grave
Feels like I'm looking at life
Through a telescope because I'm so high
And the ground never seemed so far away
Truth shall be told one day
I'll be under ground one day
Don't forget me
Please forgive me
It's my redemption
Time for redemption
I'll see you on the other side

SOS

I'm feeling on top of the world
I'm feeling like I can't do wrong
I'm thinking everything is fine
I'm caught up in the smoke and the mirrors

People that you think are your friends
Might be the people that want to drag you down
You've got to look out pull yourself tonight
Don't get lost in the smoke and mirrors

Line after line
Time after time

It's the same old sad story
He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind
It's the same old sad story
He's lost

I'm tripping I'm over the edge
I'm falling and I've got no wings
I'm praying I'll make it through tonight
I'm caught up in the smoke and the mirrors

I'm living in a prison cell
I'm strung out in downtown hell
I'm looking for my self-deny
I've got lost in the smoke and mirrors

Line after line
Time after time

It's the same old sad story
He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind
It's the same old sad story
He's lost

(This is an SOS [X6] Yeah!)

It's the same old sad story
He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind
It's the same old sad story
He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind

Out of his mind, doing that time
Walking a line, doing that time

(This is an SOS [X6] Yeah!)

Blood

I will forgive but I won't forget
And I hope you know you've lost my respect

You better watch out
If you don't know whats going on around you
You better think twice
Before you fly off the handle and lose it
You better join us
Before you get lost in the shuffle
You better rise against
The demons that are gonna try and hold you down

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
The ones you love, the ones you love, the ones you love

Cause I'm not a pawn for you to play in your fucking game
I've got dignity and a dream that I want to achieve
The pressure, your troubled and you let me down
I'm not deaf and all I hear are your empty promises

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
The ones you love, the ones you love, the ones you love

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love!
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love!
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love!

I will forgive but I won't forget
And I hope you know you've lost my respect

Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love

Not Listening

The more I learn, the more I ignore

The more I hear, the more I ignore

No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove

I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore

Cause I've lost my innocence
And I'm a stranger, A life changer
I'm a man thats not afraid of danger

Because I'm not afraid to derail
I won't get in line or be a middle man
So fuck you I'll make my own plan
And I got respect and I don't neglect
The people that I really care to protect
Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose

Stop Looking Start Seeing

Hit or miss, fuck or fight
It's time to live your life
Go ahead, I know I'm right
I'm gonna lay it on the line
Put yourself in my shoes
Would you stand up for your rights
Line em up and knock em down
I'm not running scared tonight

I have climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
I've climbed these walls before (these walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow (these walls)

I see the walls closing in
And I feel I'm in danger
My enemy is not alone
In the mirror, there's a stranger
As I tried to break out
My panic led to fear
Hopeless, I am alone
I'm afraid the end is near

The truth doesn't always have to hurt

I have climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
I've climbed these walls before (these walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow (these walls)

Stop looking
Start seeing NOW
Right Now [x2]

The truth doesn't always have to hurt

I have climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
I've climbed these walls before (these walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow (these walls)

Take Me

Take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

I lit my pain on fire
And I watched it all burn down
Now I'm dancing in the ashes
And theres no one else around
Cause I wanna be apart of something
This is just a story of a broken soul

As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by

(2X)
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

I'm burning in the heavens
And I'm drowning in a hell
My soul is in a coma
And none of my friends can tell
That I'm reaching out and getting nothing
This is just a story of a broken soul

As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by
(2X)
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

Don't shut me out

Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain

As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by
(2X)
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by

Take Me
Don't Break Me

Getting Away With Murder

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am waiting for disaster

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, Getting away, Getting away)

I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back cause I don't even want to
And I don't need to
Because I'm getting away with murder

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, Getting away, Getting away)

Getting away, Getting away, Getting away,
Getting away, Getting away, Getting away,
Getting away, Getting away, Getting away,
With murder

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am craving this disaster

(2X)
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, Getting away, Getting away)

Be Free

Woke up and I feel like shit
I don't remember last night, I'm getting sick of this
I hit the bottle when I got off stage
And got piss drunk stupid and went in a rage
I think I mighta got into a fight
Because my knuckles were bloody and I don't feel alright
I hit the bottom and I don't even care
Some say I'm going to hell but I'm already there

Sick and tired of being sick and tired

I wanna be free from this ball and chain and
Be free from this life of pain and
Be free from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you

Now I'm full of guilt and shame
I can't point a finger cause theres no one to blame
So I say I'll never do it again
But when the sun goes down, you are my only friend
I'm thinking I am starting to see
I have become everything I never wanted to be
I'm really getting sick of myself
Cause when I look into the mirror, I see somebody else

Sick and tired of being sick and tired
(2X)
I wanna be free from this ball and chain and
Be free from this life of pain and
Be free from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you

Sick and tired of being sick and tired

Be free from this life of pain and
Be free from this ball and chain

Done With You

I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
Theres no salvation in the comfort of you
I finally realized your tearing me apart

So help me, save me, tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me, tell me that the end is near
I am done with you

You made my life completely miserable
You drove me to the edge, you've caused me all this pain
But I've always loved you cause your oh so special
I'm broken and I'm alone and I can't maintain

So help me, save me, tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me, tell me that the end is near
I am done with you

Because you and me are through
You couldn't help me

Now I know the end is here

Scars

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever come around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

(2X)
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Sometimes

I'm dreamin about tomorrow, I'm thinkin of yesterday, I consume myself in sorrow this moment in time is what I betray, I
am searching for the answers

I look around sometimes I get sad, 'Cause I don't know which way to go, I look around sometimes I get sad, 'Cause my life
is spinning out of control

I never know what you want, I never know what you need, it was different from the start, when you cut me in two I never
thought I would bleed, but I am searching for the answers

I look around sometimes I get sad, 'Cause I don't know which way to go, I look around sometimes I get sad, 'Cause my life
is spinning out of control

I will go this alone I don't need nobody's help, I've got to do this myself, Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone

(2X)
I look around sometimes I get sad, 'Cause I don't know which way to go, I look around sometimes I get sad, 'Cause my life
is spinning out of control

Blanket Of Fear

I am awake under this blanket of fear, and I must say, none of the people I see belong here, now everyone's asleep, I am
awake and I am dreaming, I believe it's time for a rude awakening

So hold on to your dreams, Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality Hold on to your dreams, Because
your nightmares might seem like they're your reality

I believe, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, and the man behind the curtain, I heard him say, "Dreamers have
become an endangered species, and I am aware of the rude awakening

So hold on to your dreams, Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality Hold on to your dreams, Because
your nightmares might seem like they're your reality

I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground,I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground, I hit the ground,
because I, I can't keep my mind from going into dark places, because I, I can't keep my mind from going into dark places

So hold on to your dreams, Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality Hold on to your dreams, Because
your nightmares might seem like they're your reality

I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground, I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground!

Tyranny Of Normality

The media is the seduction of human desire (set their money, set their money, on fire), if you try to sell me the truth
then I know you're a liar, a liar

It's the tyranny of normality, it's the tyranny of normality

Our culture has become complacent, and has no desire (take back, take back our empire), and the ethical slaughter of
truth needs to be retired, retired

It's the tyranny of normality, it's the tyranny of normality

It's the death of outrage!! I want to turn a new page!! I mourn the death of our age, the obituary's on the front page!!
Since the death of outrage, I want to turn a new page!! I mourn the death of our age, the obituary's on the front page,
it's the death of outrage, i mourn the death of our age, the obituary's on the front page

It's the tyranny of normality, it's the tyranny of normality

Do Or Die

Today I saw my hero fall apart,
The one who taught me to be strong,
On the outside I look fine,
But on the inside I am dying
My strength has overcome my pain
My love for you remains the same
The loneliness is setting in
I have no one to free my sins

It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's yours or mine

Now it's my time to help you out,
Coz you were there when I was down,
It's hard for me to seal this way
Losing all your sanity
You helped me, keep my dreams alive ,
Without you how would I survive
It's time for me to be a man
Now I finally understand

It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's yours or mine

It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's yours or mine

I cant run anymore
I cant hide anymore
I cant run anymore
I cant hide anymore

Today I saw my hero fall apart,
The one who taught me to be strong,
On the outside I look fine,
But on the inside I am dying

It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's yours or mine

It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's yours or mine

It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's yours or mine

I cant run anymore
I cant hide anymore
I cant run anymore
I cant hide anymore

Yeaaaahh
