Lyrics

1. SO COLD

Crowded streets all cleared away
One by One
Hollow heroes seperate As they run

You're so cold Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while strong men die

[Chorus]
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try

If you find your family, don't you cry
In this land of make-believe, dead and dry

You're so cold, but you feel alive
Lay your HAND on me one last time

[Chorus]

[Breakdown]

[Chorus]

It's alright [x9]

2. SIMPLE DESIGN

I live a chemical life I'm on a mission to try
You went insane for the day
I'll have to shove it away
My only option is gone
Smile as they break and they fall
You want a simpler life
You can't erase what was mine

[Pre-Chorus:]
You must be out of your mind!
This was a simple design!
You fuck it up everytime
How could you leave me behind
It's alright, it's alright

[Chorus:]
'cause I know what you want
but you'll just have to wait
If I had it to give I would give it away
I'm living it up while I'm falling from grace
There's no way, there's no way
That I'm running away

I'm used to making it worse
Made up of 4 letter words
You wanna know what it was
Now isolated and gone
You fall apart at the seams
I'll never know what it means
Try not to pull it apart
Your aiming straight from the heart

[pre-chorus]

[chorus]

You had to be the worst for me
I don't know what to say, so let me be
And now I find you've left me behind
I don't know what to say so nevermind!
You're mine!

'Cause I know what you want
but you'll just have to wait
If I had it to give I would give it away
I'm living it up while I'm falling from grace

There's no way, there's no way
That I'm running away
There's no way, there's no way
That I'm running away
There's no way, there's no way
That I'm running away

3. FOLLOW

I'm losing sight Don't count on me
I chase the sun It chases me
You know my name You know my face
You'd know my heart If you knew my place
I walk straight down As far as I can go

I'll follow you, You follow me
I don't know why You lie so clean
I'll break right through the irony

Enlighten me Reveal my fate
Just cut these strings That hold me safe
You know my head You know my gaze
You'd know my heart
If you knew your place
I walk straight down as far as I can go

(Chorus)

Cure this wait, I,
I hate this wait
I hate this wait

(Chorus)
I don't know why, I don't know why
(Chorus)

(Breakdown)

4. FIREFLY

You my friend You're a lot like them
But I caught your lie And you know I did
Now I'm lost in you Like I always do
And I'd die to win 'Cause I'm born to lose

[Chorus:]
Firefly could you shine your light
Now I know your ways
'Cause they're just like mine
Now I'm justified as I fall in line
and it's hard to try when you're open wide

Take my hand We'll be off and then
We'll come back again To a different land
Now I like this way You can't go away
If you guess the name you cannot replace

[chorus]

Bring me your enemies
Lay them before me and
Walk away Walk away Walk Away

[chorus]

Fuck you Firefly have you lost your light
Now I hate your ways
'cause they're just like mine
So you've lost my friend such a sorry end
And I don't know why so
I choke and smile, smile

5. BREAK MY FALL

You fought me once but not again
You let me feel your heavy hand
I will clean your fuckin mess
and leave no trace of evidence

[Chorus:]
I am losing you again
Let me out and let me in
'cause you're not alone here not at all
Let me belong here Break my fall

Shelter me from this again
Dedicated to the end
Help me break my conscience in
to free us from our innocence

[chorus]

(Mayday, Mayday
Requesting permission to land
I cannot control the plane
We are in danger of crashing)

[chorus]

Break my fall!

6. FORGET IT

It's a crime you let it happen to me
Nevermind, I'll let it happen to you
I don't mind forget it there's nothing to lose
But my mind and all the things I wanted

Everytime I get it, throw it away
It's a sign I get it, I wanna stay
By the time I lose it I'm not afraid
I'm alive but I can surely fake it

How can I believe
when this cloud hangs over me
You're the part of me
that I don't wanna see

Forget it

There's a place I see you following me
Just a taste of all that might come to be
I'm alone but holding
breath you can breathe
To question every answer counted

Just fade away Please let me stay
Caught in your way

Just fade away Please let me stay
Caught in your way

It's a crime you let it happen to me
I don't mind, I love it, easy to please
Nevermind, forget it, just memory
On a page inside a spiral notebook

Just fade away Please let me stay
Caught in your way

I can live forever here

Just fade away Please let me stay
Caught in your way

I can live forever here

How can I believe
when this cloud hangs over me
You're the part of me
that I don't wanna see

I can live forever here

7. SOONER OR LATER

I want a normal life
just like a new born child
I am a lover hater, I am an instigater

You are an oversight
Don't try to compromise
I learn to love to hate it, I am not integrated

Just call my name You'll be okay
Your scream is burning through my veins

Sooner or later You're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw your life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your life away

You're like an infantile I knew it all the while
You sit and try to play me
Just like you see on TV

I am an oversight Just like a parasite
Why am I so pathetic
I know you won't forget it

Just call my name You'll be okay
Your scream is burning through my veins

Sooner or later You're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw my life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw my life away

[Solo]

Sooner or later You're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw our life away
Driving me under
Leaving me out there Go ahead and
throw our life away
throw our life away
throw our life away

8. BREAKDOWN

Breakdown!

Let the fun and games begin
She is vain and broken in
Skin is cold and white
Such a lovely lonely night

[pre-chorus]
Heaven is on the way
You could feel the hate
but I guess you never will
I'm on a roll again and I want an end
'cause I feel you creeping in

[Chorus:]
What I found in this town
I'm heading for a breakdown
What's that sound, you're so loud
I'm heading for a breakdown

Drink up all my alcohol
This is not a free for all
I'll be there for you
'til my heart is black and blue

[pre-chorus]

[chorus]

[chorus]

You breakdown, you're so proud
I'm heading for a breakdown
What's that sound, you're so loud
I'm heading for a breakdown
No!

9. AWAY

Cold am I, I'm beside myself
Because there's no one else
Have I grown so blind
Only god could save you
If you knew your way to the light

So fly away and leave it behind
Just stay away there's nowhere to hide

I see you 'cause you won't
get out of my way
I hear you 'cause you won't
quit screaming my name
I feel you 'cause you won't
stop touching my skin
I need you, They're coming
to take you away

Frail and dry I could lose it all
But I cannot recall it's all wrong
Don't cry Clear away this hate
And we can start to make it alright

So fly away and leave it behind
Return someday with red in your eyes

I see you 'cause you won't
get out of my way
I hear you 'cause you won't
quit screaming my name
I feel you 'cause you won't
stop touching my skin
I need you, They're coming
to take you away

I see you 'cause you won't
get out of my way
I hear you 'cause you won't
quit screaming my name
I feel you 'cause you won't
stop touching my skin
I need you, They're coming
to take you away (away!)

10. BELIEVE

Don't tread the water Just stay still
I'll not be bothered By you until

I'm picking sides And pulling the strings
I'm living lies And shedding the skin
I'm open wide And letting you in
I'm wronging rights Believe

I don't care what you want I just want mine
Shut up Smart little bitch I don't need lies

I don't care what you want I just want mine
Get up Force it to fit Confined inside

Don't pull me under Into the deep
I often wonder How it should be

I'm picking sides And pulling the strings
I'm living lies And shedding the skin
I'm open wide And letting you in
I'm wronging rights Believe

I don't care what you want I just want mine
Shut up Smart little bitch I don't need lies

I don't care what you want I just want mine
Get up Force it to fit Confined inside

(I don't care what you want
I just want mine
I don't care what you want
I just want mine)

I don't care what you want I just want mine
Shut up Smart little bitch I don't need lies

I don't care what you want I just want mine
Get up Force it to fit Confined inside

My dead eyes!

Go!

11. RAIN

Take a photograph, it'll be the last,
Not a dollar or a crowd
could ever keep me here,

I don't have a past I just have a chance,
Not a family or honest plea remains to say

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Is it you I want, Or just the notion Of
a heart to wrap around
so I can find my way around

Safe to say from here,
You're getting closer now,
We are never sad
cause we are not allowed to be

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

To lie here under you,
Is all that I could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,

To lie here under you
Is all that I could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun
All the world is waiting for the sun
All the world is waiting for the sun
