Murder the man who devoured your god
For these hands like houses will protect you from the storm.
Visitor come to my room and
see all the trash I made.
Stay a while, I'm on the verge of laying it down.
A vagabond, and all his
trash in search to find his crown.
Your mind is like a candle stick,
my ambitions are constantly burning out.
I'd hate to, rain on your parade,
But everything you know is taken by this flood,
You were blind but there's no hope.
Dig a hole but there's no blood,
Who am I to pretend, who am
I to recommend there is something less.
Than timelines and whores that
drag you back to the floor, and cut your eyes out.
Find me, oh Saint, I'm bending,
breaking, at my knees, praying.
I've exposed, this earth has
taken pride in seeing my,
most vulnerable state.
I find no humor in letting yourself stray away,
from those pictures.
When they cause you to see shame in yourself,
you can run from your problems.
But they'll follow you like a trend,
One shot to forgetting,
six shots to falling in the end.
I was the king, of kings,
I stand for one rule,
and one rule for myself, as a man.
I will fall and as my son you've watched it all.
Behind every mask, lies a man,
who can't live in his own skin.
He lives by the flask,
he bathes in his past, and he dies by his own sins.
Six feet under the earth is where you'll reside
It's time to see the bastard you've become,
Because I know your father didn't raise you this way
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree,
And everybody says, you're just like me
I begin to lift up my own flaws, to better you
They say my head is my only prison,
so I'll lock you up, I'll nail you down,
I keep you safe, I'll keep you sound,
I'll burn this to the ground
So watch where you're standing,
for this ground sinks so quick
When you are drowning,
in water all so thick,
I won't hear you screaming now
I am the monster you created,
and like a mountain we look down on kings
You reside in me, my thoughts
and my dreams, won't die
I had a feeling this lie would go insane,
I should stab this vengeance through your name
I will survive only to eat you alive
Hindsight is my only flaw
Right after we fail it's easy to realize the things we've lost
Push comes to shove,
their only excuse is we do it out of love
There we flee trying to please
everyone that we see fit for the trifold
Behind everything, inside we choose to hide
Because we have the sense
to do this for the sake of pride
Business aside
Modest, we condescend,
while you're looking up reaching for my hand
Now tell me, who's the bigger man
Never take your sight of these trophies in the light
Because the thieves of
the swell will try to steal our thunder
Expect all is well but they're holding us under
When all we have, is all we know
We've tasted flight,
we will forever move this earth
I'd like to thank the devil
inside for slamming so many doors
But I thank God for opening so many more
I hold the key to your teeth that preach those crooked words
So hold your tongue before I, rip it out.
You've taken all my will to
Exploit my face behind these hands
And you're far to shallow to drown me in your follies
You wont make it far, this is bigger than who we are
How could you get this far,
with such a bitter plan, building all these scars
Just go ahead, pull us out, to sea, relapse to what you were
Such a commodity for you and me to be lost at sea,
You drug me out here but honestly,
I can sleep and preach much better now, in the clear,
You are not to keen, on your current positions
You're to far out to swim your way in,
You're to far out to swim your way
Now that I'm back to where I started,
Drifting out against the oceans speed,
These waves will take you farther, into the deep
And I said, that this is the end, the end
(Let's both be honest, this is the end)
Pause, fold, contort, all your friends,
They fell short and sold you out
You're to far out, to swim you're way in,
You're to far out, to swim your way
When all is said, and done,
We face the problems we thought would never come,
These treacheries, will claim you.
I feel your hands inside of me.
Leave me here,
biting my nails, breaking my stride,
I put my faith into your desolate life
Happen so fast that
I won't be afraid I won't be afraid
Three years blessed, I gave it my best,
it's time to put it all to rest
Your present is my past
Through my eyes,
I've seen nothing but time,
forty four thousand lies
Straight from your putrid mind
High tides drag you through
the decades of nights,
at anguish cause you'll never know
Why, loved ones who turn out your lights,
seem like they care
I am an island, and you're
the tides that pull at my feet,
but now she's sinking in this void
Aging, forcing my nerves
Cut your chords, count your chores,
stop using yourself,
for fruitless scars, just cut your chords
And your back will keep breaking,
from this glass house, that you have created
Hear me out, your heart is to heavy,
to heavy for trust
So build me a promise and take
my advice a word from the wise
A fault confessed, I have redressed,
she feels such unrest, so pray so fucking pray
For tonight is your last.
Timid, broken loner this ghost town,
And it drained the hate from his mind,
Now there's nothing left inside
Rumors, and lies, are all you've got,
they're all you've got
Mother , Father,
where have you been, I needed you
What have we become, mere shadows,
standing alone, inside and out,
This incarceration is tearing me down
Oh have I become a mere shadow standing alone,
inside I cry out,
Screaming I make no sound
Screams, he finds, I'm the one who haunts her dreams.
Her life torn at the seams,
I'm the one who haunts her.
Stop!
I stand here as a man who holds his ground,
So silence your hands,
I'm everything you once held dear.
How can you sleep
How can you sleep at night,
Too many you were rights,
I have no home,
My home is non-existent
So long,
I was here but you missed it,
So kiss this,
I hope you know you pissed it away.
So cut me out,
Just knock me down,
Lifeless I may feel,
And I'm slowly finding out,
Life is full of bitter things
I won't shed a tear even if it stings,
Hit the road my spirit and all my clothes,
Who am I,
Who the hell knows.
Tie my words,
Around your neck,
Never forget.
Listen,
For I've walked the path of men,
I've stood my ground,
I've earned my crown,
And this is where it ends.
I will hold their hands,
I will walk across this sea
They've stood behind me,
And they'll follow me till death.
Never speak to me like you are some kind,
Of hidden prodigy you're wasting my time
You will never make it in this world,
It's all in your mind.
Well that's ok with me I think I'll be fine,
I don't need a shitty home to be on top of the line,
This interstate is making me the prime,
Example of what it means to follow your dreams
So watch.
I think you've just about lost,
your sense of self,
Your foundations are crumbling down
I told you so, told you so
Don't be the one to say you know what's right
I told you so, told you so
Don't be the one to say you know my heart
Don't be torn from your roots,
you won't live in this pursuit
You won't survive above this ground,
It won't be long until you're home bound
Stop pretending
Drawing the lines you're not concerned about me,
I'm losing confidence, why do you show no mercy
These branches are burning,
these branches won't pull me down,
Back to the ground,
where I am standing, safe and sound
Who are you, to tell us who we are
Who are you, you're a fiend, you're a liar,
And I will summon the hands of a fighter,
And you will know, who we are
You say you know who I am,
you'll only bring me down,
You'll only bring me down,
you left me cold at home,
To fight the foundation
and the walls are crumbling down
Out in the everglades,
Sleeping in with the poor
is a fortune for the brave,
I can easily say that
we will never change
But be implacable and never lose your flames.
Wouldn't you say that
the world has spit on you enough.
Unanswered prayers,
sleeping under streetlights
And I don't understand the
danger of talking them up
Every night,
You salvage every skyline,
Only enough so that you might
have the chance to feel fine.
Swear to God I believe we've
had enough trying to save the world,
Did you hear me,
We have had enough.
This is how we close the show,
So sit back and listen,
Cause it's not over yet.
You think you know us
Well you don't know shit.
[Instrumental]
With the devil on my back
And God in my heart
I used the hands that built you up
To fucking rip you apart
You turned their whole world upside down
And filled heads with doubt
But there’s just one small thing you forgot about
That on the other side of heaven
There’s always a hell
And that’s one fucking place I know all too well
So I’ll pick up a pen
And from beginning to end
I’ll write the three words we will defend:
Follow your dreams
Go!
Don’t give in
To all the lies that they fed you
And everything they said about me
Just to deceive you
So let me ask you
Why would I give a fuck?
So sit back, enjoy the show
There’s just a few things I think you should know
Like how your sticks and stones
Won’t break these bones
Or seize the throne
Because I’m the man of steel
So before you place the blame on anyone else
Why don’t you take a step back
and fucking start with yourself?
We never gave up
We never gave in
We never gave up on you
So don’t give up on me!]
Let's go
No one ever said this life would come easy
For god's sake you just have to believe me
I will go until the floor breaks beneath me
So place your bets this shit won't be easy
Why believe all the shit they said?
This isn't over until I'm fucking dead
So I'll let you keep your fame
While we all still stay the same,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
And you don't have the backbone that everyone believes you do
So go ahead and talk your shit, I'll give you a reason to
How does it feel to think so highly of yourself?
And it's like they always say that the past will find you
'cause karma is a bitch, it only comes back to remind you
And after all of this time you will be put in your place
I just hope that I'm around to see the look on your face
'cause you see the one main difference between you and me
Is that in this world where nothing comes for free
I know what the fuck I'm fighting for!
Bring your war
'cause I think it's time that we settle the score
And while you're at it tell me what the hell it takes
To turn someone that I love into someone that I hate
So before you make that bright mistake
Of standing up for a two-face snake
I hope you learn by the words in the song
That it's been us here for you all along
Say whatever you need to say
But make sure you choose your words well
And if you suddenly find yourself speechless
I'll give you a story to tell
I've come through hell and back to prove myself
And put your words to shame
And by the time that this is all said and done
You may not understand
But you'll sure as hell remember our name
Say whatever you need to say
But make sure you choose your words well
You don't have the backbone that everyone believes you do
So talk your shit, I'll give you a reason to
I bet you never thought we'd get this far,
But in the end, we won't give in
'cause it's just who we are.
I still have so much left to say,
So my best advice to you is
stay the fuck out of our way.
We will never back down, never give in.
No matter what it takes always believe in;
That when you swallow your
pride and put all shit aside,
We'll be the ones standing in the end.
When you hit the road,
you left without wasting any time.
You remembered your clothes,
but left your spirit behind.
And at night when you're alone inside your head,
Don't pray for sympathy
no, pray for a miracle instead.
You're feeding me excuses
and they're making me bitter.
Don't raise a fuss,
just keep it up 'cause no one likes a quitter.
Just when you had us all figured out,
There's always one thing you forget about.
So we'll teach you a fucking thing or two
Of what it means to see shit through.
We'll stand our ground
Right here, right now;
With our friends all behind us
And this vengeance inside us.
We will tear you down.
Someone once told me that time is gold,
So don't sit and watch it all disappear
Because these, dreams you hold can never be sold.
These dreams are what brought us here.
So fuck everyone else, just believe in yourself.
So find your place, no time to waste.
'Cause it's like they say, life just isn't fair.
Did you honestly think for a second
we played our final song?
In spite of those who disagree,
you know it feels damn good to prove you wrong!
Singing oh whoa, we did it somehow
And oh whoa, it’s our turn now
We’ll shut you down
you’ll drown like the rest of them
Need I remind you?
That you’re up against the best of them!
So let me promise you this
With ignorance as your bliss,
your name won’t ever be
missed when we are through with this
I’ll be the thought that’s in the back of your head
We’ll be the monsters hiding under your bed
I’ll make you pay for all the things that you said
Use your own line to cut off your fucking head!
I thought I told you once that you reap what you sow
But I guess this time around I’ll say I told you so
Now that was clever
But let me make this clear
We are coming for you
We are coming for you!
Tell me why
They painted us with guilt
They said that we’re not good enough
The only thing we’re guilty
of is never giving up
So take a second glance and
put yourself into these shoes
We got a second chance and
we’ve got nothing left to lose
So keep singing, oh whoa, whoa
Oh whoa, whoa
So keep singing!
Take a second glance and
put yourself into these shoes
We got a second chance and
we’ve got nothing left to lose
What makes you think you can get
away with murder
And just walk away from fucking everything?
You'll be the walking dead.
You'll be the walking dead, with our wills around your neck.
So our advice to you is just keep running.
Run from everyone and everything.
What makes you think that
you could put our name to shame?
Rest in peace is what they say,
But how can you bury something that came from nothing;
Even though our dreams aren't dead?
And everyone who said we’d never do it, haha
Fucking spare me!
I just can't let this one go,
so let's set the story straight.
We will be heard, no matter what the fuck it takes!
And I'll make you realize that you can place the blame,
But you can't erase me from this game.
Because as long as there's you,
I'll do what it takes to prove we're still the same.
So what the fuck are we waiting for?
It's time we stand up for ourselves,
And if that doesn't make it clear enough
Then our friends are here to help.
We've been put down by everyone we thought we knew,
But we're just fine here
'cause we could never sink as low as you.
The times have changed, the tables have turned.
I thought you'd get the point by now,
but I guess that you will never learn.
So just look out for yourself,
it seems to be your past time.
So here's your ticket to Hell,
it seems you missed it the last time.
Welcome to Hell.
We've been put down by everyone we thought we knew,
But we're just fine here
'cause we could never sink as low as you.
The times have changed, the tables have turned.
I thought you'd get the point by now,
but I guess that you will never learn.
So now it's our turn to speak.
You'll have no choice but to hear us out,
When we tell them about the truth
And how you tried so hard to sell us out.
So just look out for yourself,
it seems to be your past time.
So here's your ticket to Hell,
it seems you missed it last time.
So welcome to Hell.
Just when things
got back to the regular pace,
Disaster showed its ugly face.
So add that to the list of
all the reasons why I hate this place,
And when you hit the bottom
you can tell me how failure tastes.
I came, I saw, I conquered all.
You're never gonna win,
'Cause I told you once you son of a bitch,
I'm the best there's ever been.
Go.
So here's a word from the wise to the weak.
Having issues doesn't make up for the shit you speak.
If there's one thing I've held inside
And swore to God on my own pride,
It's that I'd leave you with nowhere to hide
And haunt your grave 'til the day I die.
God bless your soul,
Only time will tell.
Stand up!
You place yourself above all else,
'cause you've always gotta be the first one.
Of all the things that I regret,
you're easily the worst one.
And when you start to hate the life you made,
Remember you're the one who chose it.
When your time came, you got lost in the fame.
A secret's not a secret if the whole world knows it.
And I have learned not to
rely on all the promises you make,
'Cause when you play with fire,
getting burned is just a chance you take.
I'm running out of time,
there's no room for mistakes.
You can use this as you will,
but I won't cross my fingers yet.
Wishful thinking lets you down,
when what you see is what you get.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
What made you think you know it all?
You told me that I would fall,
But I'm the one who's standing tall.
I'll give my all
'Cause it's exactly where I'm supposed to be
And not a single fucking one
of you will take this from me.
You can think whatever helps you sleep,
But in reality it's obvious that you're in way too deep.
This is exactly where I'm meant to be.
There's not a chance in hell
that you can take this from me!
Get up!
So hold these words up to your chest
Prove to them all why you're the best
And when they say you're just like the rest
It's time to put that courage to the test
So do your very best to tear them down
until there's nothing left
And while you're swelling on the past,
we'll see who's laughing last
You've said enough for both of us,
so don't try to deny it
And some things are better left unsaid,
but I can't keep this quiet
Well I'm not one to hold a
grudge and hide it from the surface,
'Cause every single thing
I've ever held against you has a purpose
You're good at starting problems for the hell of it,
But our difference is that
I don't use my past to make me feel relevant
I've told you once and I'll tell you twice
That everything comes with a price
And after all the things you said,
You should've known how this would end
I've told you once and I'll tell you twice,
That everything comes with a price
Well you rolled the dice and now tough luck kid
We're all pissed off, with no fucks to give
'Cause you say that we're cowards
and that we're the ones to blame,
But we're one in a million
and you're all the fucking same
You're so proud of the one-liners you wrote
It must be hard to talk shit with a dick in your throat!
Let's take it back to the top,
Whether you're ready or not
You knew that we'd never stop,
So bring the best that you got
Maybe this is too much for you, whoa
But how dare you even try to
Take my words and turn them inside out
To hide the fact that all your luck ran out
Well who the hell gave you the right to
Tell me how to live my life?
And when you said enough is enough,
I fought to keep going when the going get tough
You might think you've got me tricked,
But you're not hard to see through
So let me make this clear,
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
No one ever said that you had
to face this on your own.
Just do your best, forget the rest,
you're stronger than you know;
So let it all go.
Don't dwell on all the things that you can't change,
'Cause we are stronger,
oh, we're so much stronger than we know.
One by one you gave up hope and you
prayed to God that I would choke,
But I paid no mind to your attack
because empty words can never hold me back.
Every dream begins with a dreamer,
We have a hope we must defend.
No matter what, we'll come out swinging,
We haven't reached the end.
Every dream begins with a dreamer,
We have a hope we must defend.
No matter what, we'll come out swinging,
We haven't reached the end.
Just know you're not alone, we'll always be your home.
So never give up hope and know you're not alone;
And you don't have to face this on your own
We said that we would live forever
Well you laughed instead, you said we're dead.
So get this through your head,
I've got one more left.
You better be ready to bring us your worst,
This army is our family, oh,
this is our family, and family comes first.
Every dream begins with a dreamer,
We have a hope we must defend.
No matter what, we'll come out swinging.
We haven't reached the end.
Every dream begins with a dreamer,
We have a hope we must defend.
No matter what, we'll come out swinging.
We haven't reached the end.
Did you honestly think for a
second we played our final song?
In spite of those who disagree,
you know it feels damn good to prove you wrong!
Singing oh whoa, we did it somehow
And oh whoa, it’s our turn now
We’ll shut you down
you’ll drown like the rest of them
Need I remind you?
That you’re up against the best of them!
So let me promise you this
With ignorance as your bliss,
your name won’t ever be missed

So take a second glance
and put yourself into these shoes
We got a second chance

Oh whoa, whoa
So keep singing!
Take a second glance and
put yourself into these shoes
We got a second chance and
we’ve got nothing left to lose
This is the beginning - of a new lease on life
This freedom,- this passion is how we survive
Only got one life - one chance
to show what I got - and nothing will ever
take this from me
You can never take this from me
Whatever happened to just - wanting to live your dream,
when no one cared about - the cover of a magazine
This is the price I pay - for the life I've made,
but I'm always finding a way to - Stand up,
can't you hear the - sound of - a thousand screaming voices,
eager to watch you succeed - Give them something real to believe
You'll try everything - to sell your soul for a quick buck,
so look at it this way
Tried to control my life - but I've got something to say
Your words, they make me sick,
mind-blown by all the constant bullshit
Go back to your pathetic life - and let me be
Whatever happened to - just wanting to live your dream,
when no one cared about - the cover of a magazine
This is the price I pay - for the life I've made,
but I'm always finding a way to - Stand up,
can't you hear the - sound of - a thousand screaming voices,
eager to watch you succeed
Give them something - real to believe
This is a song for the times I've failed
This is a song for the times I got it right
Maybe I'm just a boy - with a dream,
but my dreams are becoming a reality
This is a song for the times you've failed
This is a song for the times you got it right
Maybe you're just someone with a dream,
but your dreams are so close you just have to believe it
Stand up, can't you hear the sound,
of a thousand screaming voices
Whatever happened to - just wanting to live your dream,
when no one cared about - the cover of a magazine
This is the price I pay - for the life I've made,
but I'm always finding a way to - Stand up,
can't you hear the - sound of - a thousand screaming voices,
eager to watch you succeed
Give them something - real to believe
We will rise
When you fall, find the strength in
yourself to turn your life around
And rise
Rise back to the top
Im over working
Over stressing myself
All this time that I've wasted
Won't have to be wasted on you
I've learned to just trust myself
You can't believe everything you're told
Find yourself, make a plan and don't just
wait around for things to unfold
Second chances don't come easy and they fade so fast
Pick up where you left of and bury the past
I've buried everything and everyone I've ever known
No turning back now, this all I've ever known
No turning back now
We're all in this together
Got to keep control
No room for mistake
To every motherfucker
Who tried to bring me down
To every sorry fuck
Who had no faith in me
To every fake piece of shit
Who said I'd amount to nothing
You've all helped me succeed
In my American Dream
What! What!
To every motherfucker
To every sorry fuck
To every fake piece shit
I'm so over it
You can't believe everything you're told
Find yourself, make a plan and don't
just wait around for things to unfold
Second chances don't come easy and they fade so fast
Pick up where you left of and bury the past
You can't believe everything you're told,
don't wait around for things to unfold
Find yourself, make a plan
Find yourself
We've come too far to sell ourselves short
And become what they want me to be
I'll never be what they want me to be
We've come too far to sell ourselves short
And become what you want me to be
I'll never be what they want me to be
Step away from the path
Break away from conformity
This is my life, this is my time to shine
This is my life
Fuck who you want me to be
My American Dream
Who are you?
Who do you think you are?
Your opinion means nothing
Your words are shallow and
you'll get what you deserve
Isn't it funny how life works
in such mysterious ways, mysteriously
All my life,
I've been waiting for
this moment to live free and be me
All my life,
I have always fallen
short but not this time
All my life,
I've been waiting for answer, all my life
You couldn't stop me even if you wanted to
It's plain to see, I wanna be
A voice of hope
Not the voice of a dying breed
Finally I'm doing what I wanna do
I've never felt so free in my whole life
There's nothing I would trade for
This is what I was made for
I won't be held back by failure
It's easy to lose yourself completely
To become your own worst enemy
Yeah, yeah
Don't try to tell me how to live my life
Don't try to justify what's wrong and what's right
Lets put it this way
I've been doing this for far too long
To give up everything I've worked for
I've made my deals and cut my losses
For you it's all about the money
For you it's all about the fame
And how you play the game
You couldn't stop me even if you wanted to
It's plain to see, I wanna be
A voice of hope
Not the voice of a dying breed
Finally I'm doing what I wanna do
I've never felt so free in my whole life
There's nothing I would trade for
This is what I was made for
Cause at the end of the day
We're all just trying to make a way
For ourselves
And I'm giving everything
that I have left inside of me
Your words are meaningless
Cause I'm above the negativity
So take these words and hold them close
It's not about where you are right now
but where you wanna be that matters most
It's 3 AM and I can't sleep at all
I'm wide awake instead, so many thoughts
have found their way into my head
I ask myself what it is that's
making me feel uneasy
Why do I feel like this?
I shouldn't be feeling like this
Cause I am trying, I know you're
lying when you say things are fine
But we both knew what we were
getting into, this happens every time
These restless nights and hollow days
You feel no need to change your ways
And all this time, I failed to see
The things that I had hoped for were never meant to be
So what's it gonna take for us to figure all this out?
Cause I've only got two weeks
left here and right now my head is filled with doubt
Don't take this time for granted,
cause when I'm gone you'll wish you hadn't
And appreciate this for what it is,
cause pretty soon you're not gonna have it
Cause I am trying,
I know you're lying when you say things are fine
But we both knew what we were getting into,
this happens every time
These restless nights and hollow days
You feel no need to change your ways
And all this time, I failed to see
The things that I had hoped for were never meant to be
You never know what you have until you lose it
If this is what you really want,
then now's your time to prove it,
this is your time to prove it
And all I wanna know is where did we go wrong
Cause I'm sick to death of
losing sleep and I'm sick of writing sad songs
These restless nights and hollow days
You feel no need to change your ways
And all this time, I failed to see
The things that I had hoped
for were never meant to be

For the first time in a long time,
all my thoughts are making sense
But you tell me that I'm crazy for all the time I've spent
Just piecing this together,
while you're begging for attention
Accusing me of giving up,
when that was never my intention
But I guess you'll never understand
Cause you always think you've got the upper hand
Before you go, I hope you know
You're turning into the person that you hate the most
Don't tell me I'm to blame
Cause you brought out the worst in me,
why did it take so long to see
That I'm just fine without you, fine without you
So tell me, tell me who you're trying to impress
Cause once again your plans fell through,
and I'm stuck here cleaning up your mess
You tell me I'm not being fair,
I'm not being fair
Why don't you save all that for somebody who cares
And I know you'll never understand
There's no way in hell that we can just be friends
Before you go, I hope you know
You're turning into the
person that you hate the most
Don't tell me I'm to blame
Cause you brought out the
worst in me, why did it take so long to see
That I'm just fine without you, fine without you
I'm strong enough to say this now,
you've got your head stuck in the clouds
And sooner or later,
this world will chew you up and spit you out
Before you go, I hope you know
You're turning into the person that you hate the most
Don't tell me I'm to blame
Cause you brought out the worst in me,
why did it take so long to see
That I'm just fine without you,
fine without you
