1. BLOOD (Empty Promises):

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

You better watch out cause you don't know what's 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 gotta rise against the demons that are gonna try and hold you down

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love? (x2)

The ones you love .. (x3)

Cause I'm not a pawn for you to play in your f*cking game
I've got dignity and a dream that I want to achieve
Under pressure you crumbled and you let me down
But I'm not deaf, and all I hear are your empty promises

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love? (x4)

(Blood) The ones you love .. (x4)

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

Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love (x4)

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 (x2)




2. NOT LISTENING

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
I'm not listening, not anymore, no ..

Cause you gotta be bigger, and be faster, and be stronger
If you're gonna survive any longer
In this lifetime it better be the right time
Cause your first time might be your last time
Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose?
No I'm not a failure, I've 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 that's not afraid of danger
I walk my own path, and blaze my own trail
Because I'm not afraid to derail
I won't get in line, or be a middle man
So f*ck you, I've made my own plans
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?
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

I told you before I won't listen no more
I told you before let's settle the score
I told you before I won't listen no more
I told you before let's settle the score

If not me, then who? If not now, then when? (x2)

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

I told you before I won't listen no more
I told you before let's settle the score
I told you before I won't listen no more
I told you before let's settle the score

Shut it up, burn it out
Blow it up, set it off
F*ck it up, check it out
Burn it up, blow it up
Right now!



3. STOP LOOKING, START SEEING

Hit or miss, f*ck 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 (scaled these walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow ..

I see the walls are closing in and I feel I am 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 (scaled these walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow ..

Stop looking, start seeing, yeah
Right now!
Stop looking, start seeing, yeah
Right now!

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 (scaled these walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow ..

I have climbed these walls before
There's a time to lead and a time to follow

I have climbed these walls before
There's a time to lead and a time to follow

And I'll never be the same (x2)

Why does the truth always have to hurt?


4. TAKE ME

Take me, and let me in
Don't break me, and shut me out
So take me (take me) and let me in
Don't break me (don't break me) and shut me out

I lit my pain on fire, and I watched it all burn down
And now I'm dancing in the ashes, and there's no one else around
Because I wanna be part 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 ..

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

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

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

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

So take me (take me) and let me in
Don't break me (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 ..

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

So take me (take me) and let me in
Don't break me (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 ..


5. GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER

Somewhere beyond hapiness and sadness
I need to calculate what creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And your'e the master, and I am waiting for disaster

I feel irrational, so confrontational
To tell the truth I am getting away with murder
It is impossible 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 dont 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 is impossible 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 with murder ..

Somewhere beyond hapiness and sadness
I need to calculate what creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishments
And you're the master, and I am craving this disaster

I feel irrational, so confrontational
To tell the truth I am getting away with murder
It is impossible to never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder

Getting away .. getting away .. getting away

I feel irrational, so confrontational
To tell the truth I am getting away with murder
It is impossible to never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder


6. BE FREE

I 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 I went in a rage
I think I mighta got in a fight
Because my knuckles are bloody and I don't feel alright
I hit the bottom and I don't even care
You say I'm goin to hell but I am 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 ..

And now I'm full of guilt and shame
I can't point a finger cause there's 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 think that I am starting to see
I have become everything I never wanted to be
I'm really gettin sick of myself
Cause when I look into the mirror I see somebody else

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 ..

I wanna be free (be free) from this ball and chain
And be free (be free) from this life of pain
And be free (be free) from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you ..

Sick and tired of being sick and tired
So sick and tired of being sick and tired
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
So 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 ..

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 ..

I wanna be free from you ..



7. DONE WITH YOU

I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
There's no salvation in the comfort of you (comfort of you)
And I finally realize you're 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 here
I am done with you ..

You've made my life completely miserable
You drove me to the edge, you've caused me all this pain
But I always love you cause you're oh so special (oh so special)
I'm broken and I'm alone and I cannot maintain

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

I'm done with you (done with you)
I am done with you
(Done with you)
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you
(Done with you, I am done with you)

I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart

So help me, save me
Tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you .. because you and me are through

You couldn't help me, you couldn't save me
Now I know the end is here
I am done with you ...


8. 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

I'm 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 chanelled all your pain, and I can't help you fix yourself
You're makin me insane, all I can say is ..

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And the 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 goin down but you never realized
That you're drowning in the water, so I offered you my hand
Compassion's in my nature, tonight is our last stand

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And the 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 shoulda never come around, why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in the water, and I tried to grab your hand
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!

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

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



9. SOMETIMES

I'm dreaming about tomorrow, I'm thinking of yesterday
I consume myself in sorrow, this moment in time is what I betray

I am searching for the answers

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

I never I 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

I am searching for the answers

And I look around, sometimes I get sad
Cause I don't know which way to go
And 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 gotta do this myself
Alone, alone, alone, alone ..

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

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



10. BLANKET OF FEAR

Well I am awake under this blanket of fear
And I must say that none of the people I see belong here
Now everyone's asleep, but I am awake and I am dreaming
I believe it's time for 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 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 (x2)

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 (x2)


11. TYRANNY OF NORMALITY

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

It's the tyranny of normality (x2)

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, we're tired

It's the tyranny of normality (x2)

It's the death of outrage, I want to turn a new page
And mourn the death of our age, the obituaries on the front page

Since the death of outrage, I want to turn a new page
And mourn the death of our age, the obituaries on the front page

It's the death of outrage, I mourn the death of our age
The obituaries on the front page

It's the tyranny of normality (x3)


12. 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 is overcome by 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 and mine

Now it's my turn to help you out, cause you were there when I was down
It's hard for me to see you this way, losing all your sanity
You helped me keep my dreams alive, without you how will 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 and mine

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

I can't run anymore, I can't hide anymore (x2)

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 and 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 and mine

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


Harder Than A Coffin Nail (Bonus Track):

God bless the coffin they carry me off in
God bless the coffin they carry me off in
Carry me off in ..

I've walked amongst the living dead
And I'm sick of the voices that are in my head
I've taken a ride and I'll dance with death
I had nine lives and I got one left

Cause I've got what you want, you've got what I need
Let's get together and keep me forever

Yeah .. WAAAAHHH!!!

Cause I'm harder than a coffin nail
I've been to heaven, I've been to hell
I'm harder than a coffin nail
I've been to heaven, I've been to hell

I never thought I'd need someone's help (I don't need you)
Cause I can handle it all and do it by myself (I'll do this by myself)
I'm never alone until I hit rock bottom (Not afraid to fight)
I'm so f*cking stubborn, so f*cking rotton (Hit the bottom)

Cause I've got what you want, you've got what I need
Let's get together and keep me forever

Yeah .. WAAAAHHH!!!

Cause I'm harder than a coffin nail
I've been to heaven, I've been to hell
I'm harder than a coffin nail
I've been to heaven, I've been to hell

God bless the coffin they carry me off in (x2)

I'm harder than a coffin nail
I've been to heaven, I've been to hell

God bless the coffin they carry me off in (x2)



14. CAUGHT DEAD (BonusTrack)

I've got passion, and a reason
And I won't neglect my emotions

Because I wanna spill, spill my guts
But I don't want to pick them up

I've got passion, and a reason
And I won't neglect my emotions

I'm excited that I'm exploding
I'm ignited and I'm ready to go off

Rather be caught dead than weak ..

Cause I'd rather be caught dead than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong
Cause I'd rather be caught dead than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong

I wanna spill, spill my guts
But I don't want to pick them up

I've got too much pride and desire
To let this go, I'll walk through fire

I've got passion, and a reason
And I won't neglect my emotions

Rather be caught dead than weak ..

Cause I'd rather be caught dead than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong
Cause I'd rather be caught dead than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong

I'd rather be caught dead than weak (x2)

I'd rather be caught dead than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong
Cause I'd rather be caught dead than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing ..
