1. HERE TO DIE

This wasn't supposed to be a love song
Matter of fact this was about hate
I fucking said it, I don't regret it
A little much or a little too late

I turned away just one too many times
I'm tired of the reasons, sick of all the lies
I looked away just one too many times
I'm tired of pretending, that I'm not here...
I'm not here to die

You want my best, you get the worst
You're not the last and you ain't the fucking first
You got to live, I live to die
Still got motherfuckin' fingers in the sky

I turned away just one too many times
I'm tired of the reasons, sick of all the lies
I looked away just one too many times
I'm tired of pretending, that I'm not here...
Not here to die

I've been hated by better
I've been beaten by the best
It's not a gift, it's a mother fuckin' test!

I turned away just one too many times
I'm tired of the reasons, sick of all the lies
I looked away just one too many times
I'm tired of pretending, that I'm not here...
Not here to die


2. WEIGHT BENEATH MY SIN

You stole my life
You've taken everything
Left me here to die
You wonder why
I wish you'd suffocate
And kiss your ass goodnight

It's the same old fucking story
The same old fucking lies
The same old fucking ending
With the fucking same good bye

I can't believe...

Now I know that
I don't belong
I don't care
You're a scar burned into my skin
Can't hold on
Can't move on
You're the weight beneath my sin

You wish I'd die
You don't care how
And I know you don't care why
Can't see what you see
I know you're
Begging me
Begging me to bleed

It's the same old fucking story
The same old fucking lies
Without the same old ending
Without the same good byes

Now I know that
I don't belong
I don't care
You're a scar burned into my skin
Can't hold on
Can't move on
You're the weight beneath my sin


3. WRECKING BALL

Sliced up
Shot down
Everybody bows down
Kill em all
Let em fall

God'll sort em out
Ripped up
Zip it up
Really never gave a fuck
Wrecking ball
Fuck em all
Never had a doubt

I'm - never gonna be the one
I'm - always gonna say what I feel
I'm - always do what I do
Sick of all the bullshit

Why - Should I
Always be the one to back away
Why - should I
Have to be the one to not say what's on my mind
I'm a mother fuckin' wrecking ball

Take down
Ground and pound
That's the resolution
Show face
Disgrace
A scar of evolution

Nice boots
Cheap suit
You're about to find out
Right here
Right now
That's what I'm about

I'm - always gonna be the one
I'm - always gonna say the shit that
I'm - always gonna hold a grudge
Sick of all the bullshit

Why - should I
Always be the one to back away
Why - should I
Have to be the one to not say what's on my mind
I'm a mother fuckin' wrecking ball


4. BATTLE BORN

Once upon a time
I swore I had a heart
Long before the world I know
Tore it all apart
Once upon a time
There was apart of me I shared
Years before they took away
The part of me that cared

I've been a thousand places
And shook a million hands
I don't know where I'm going
But I know just where I've been
I've flown a million miles
And I rode so many more
Everyday a castaway
A vagabond battle born

A battle born

Once upon a time
I had an open point of view
But that was just so long ago
Before I had a clue
Was there such a time
Where I didn't stand alone
Was there ever a time
And how would I of known

I've been a thousand places
And shook a million hands
I don't know where I'm going
But I know just where I've been
I've flown a million miles
And I rode so many more
Everyday a castaway
A vagabond battle born

(Attention all passengers,
Flight 555 now departing from Las Vegas to London.
Please have your passports and boarding passes ready)

I've been a thousand places
And shook a million hands
I don't know where I'm going
But I know just where I've been
I've flown a million miles
And I rode so many more
Everyday a castaway
A vagabond battle born

A battle born
A battle born

Everyday a castaway
A vagabond battle born

Battle born


5. CRADLE TO THE GRAVE

The blood that runs within my veins
(The blood that runs within my veins)
Keeps me from ever ending up the same
(Ending up the same)

The fire that's pushing me on and on and on
(On and on and on)
To me it's everything and it makes me fucking strong!

Love me or hate me
I walk alone

Been called a monster, called a demon, called a fake (Called a fake)
I'm not an idol, not an angel, not a saint
(I'm not a saint)

I walk alone, I've always have, I'm not ashamed
(Not ashamed)
A living nightmare from the cradle to the grave

The soul that lives within my chest
(The soul that lives within my chest)
Just won't allow me, to turn out like the rest
(Turn out like the rest)
This heart that driving me on and on and on
(On and on and on)
Has the same vision and it keeps me fuckin strong!

Love me or hate me
I walk alone

Been called a monster, called a demon, called a fake (Called a fake)
I'm not an idol, not an angel, not a saint
(I'm not a saint)

I walk alone, I've always have, I'm not ashamed
(Not ashamed)
I've always been the living nightmare
From the cradle to the grave

I walk alone!

Been called a monster, called a demon, called a fake (Called a fake)
I'm not an idol, not an angel, not a saint
(I'm not a saint)

I walk alone, I've always had, I'm not ashamed
(Not ashamed)
A living nightmare from cradle to the grave

(I walk alone)

Been called a monster, called a demon, called a fake (Called a fake)
I'm not an idol, not an angel, not a saint
(I'm not a saint)

I walk alone, I've always have, I'm not ashamed
(Not ashamed)
I'll always be a living nightmare
From the cradle to the grave


6. MATTER OF TIME

What kind of man would I be
If I accepted defeat
What would my eulogy read
Here lies a wasted soul

What would my destiny be
What sort of life would I lead
Consumed by apathy
Spinning out of control

It's how we live
How we live that defines us
What we change
And what we leave behind
You know you can't
You can't take it with you
Your day will come
It's just a matter of time

What type of man should I be
You know - so you tell me
Stomp out my identity
So I can be just like you

What kind of life should I lead
You'd have me down on my knees
Treat me like a I'm a disease
Fuck you

It's how we live
How we live that defines us
What we change
And what we leave behind
You know you can't
You can't take it with you
Your day will come
It's just a matter of time


7. THE AGONY OF REGRETS

(Instrumental)


8.COLD

I'm gazing upward a world i can't embrace
There's only thorns and splinters venom in my veins
It's okay to cry out when it's driving you insane
But somehow someday i'll have to face the pain

It's all gone cold....
But no one wants the blame
It's all so wrong...
But who am I? who am I to say?

I'm begging for forgiveness, everything I've done
If god is listening he knows i'm not the only one
It's okay to lash out from the rules that i am slaved
But somehow someday I'll have to turn the page

It's all gone cold....
And no one wants to change
It's all so wrong....
But no one wants the blame
It's all gone cold....
There's nothing left to gain
It's all so wrong....
But who am I? who am I to say?

My hearts an endless winter filled with rage
I'm looking forward to forgetting yesterday....

It's all gone cold....
And no one wants to change
It's all so wrong....
But no one wants the blame
It's all gone cold.....
There's nothing left to gain
It's all so wrong....
But who am I? who am I to say?

To say yeah....

It's all gone cold.....
But who am i to say?
It's all gone cold.....
But who am I? who am i to say?

Cold....


9. LET THIS GO

It's such an ugly thing
The way you treated me
I should've walked away
Never to look back!
It's all still haunting me
I'm still in disbelief
A broken memory!
Fading into black!

I won't save you
I motherfucking hate you
There's no escaping and you're never gonna fucking see!
You don't know me
Yeah, you don't know me
And you can't control me,
It's rolling in your fucking dream!

I don't know
When I lost it all, when I lost control
I don't know
If I could ever let this,
Ever let this go!

There's nothing you could say
To make me want to change
You should've walked away,
Now you fucking run!
It's all just such a waste
The time you stole from me
And now you're on your knees,
Look into the gun!

I won't save you
I fucking hate you
There's no escaping, and I'm never gonna fucking see!
I don't know you
And I don't want you
You're uncontrollable, and living on a fucking dream!

I don't know
When I lost it all, when I lost control
I don't know
If I could ever let this,
Ever let this go!

I don't know,
If I could ever let this,
Ever let it go!

I don't know
(I don't know if I can! I don't know when I lost!)
When I lost it all, when I lost control
I don't know
(I'll never let this go! I'll never let it go!)
If I could ever let this,
Ever let this go!


10. MY HEART LIED

Another chapter in my life
The sun has set, only ashes left behind
It turns out I was always wrong
I always have been, and you knew it all along
I knew it all along

I gave you everything, everything but blood
Everything I had, and everything I've loved
You tore away and left me dead inside
Outside looking in, my heart lied

A whole new chapter in my life
A new beginning, can you see it through my eyes?
It turns out you're not always right
You never have been, and I knew it all the time
You knew it all the time

I gave you everything, everything but blood
Everything I had, and everything I've loved
You tore away and left me dead inside
Outside looking in, my heart lied

I gave you everything, everything but blood
Everything I had, and everything I've loved
You tore away and left me dead inside
Outside looking in, my heart lied

Outside looking in, my heart lied


11. A DAY IN MY LIFE

Another day in my life
I live and die by the knife
I swear there's nothing inside
Sometimes I wish it would end
How many hands could I shake
How many smiles must I fake
How many miles till I break
To start all over again
That's not what I was promised
That's not me

Feels like I'm falling away
Getting deeper and deeper everyday
And like nothing has changed or ever will
Seems like I'm going insane
Getting farther and farther everyday
I just swallow the pain
And always will
Welcome to a day in my life
Welcome to a day in my fucking life!

Unleashed the beast from its cage
Feel like a puppet on stage
It only adds to the rage
I'm sick of trying to pretend
They think I'm something I'm not
I give them all that I got
Feels like I'm soul to be bought
It starts all over again
That's not what I was promised
That's not me

Feels like I'm falling away
Getting deeper and deeper everyday
And like nothing has changed or ever will
Seems like I'm going insane
Getting farther and farther everyday
I just swallow the pain
And always will
Welcome to a day in my life
Welcome to a day in my fucking life!

It feels like I'm falling away
I'm getting deeper and deeper everyday
And like nothing has changed or ever will
Seems like I'm going insane
Getting farther and farther everyday
I just swallow the pain
And always will
I just swallow the pain
And always will
Welcome to a day in my life
Welcome to a day in my fucking life!


12. HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one.
