All for the love of this
I'm beginning to wonder
Can you see it?
I can't see it
Can you feel it?
I can feel it
All for the love of this
Say what you feel
You're seeking revenge
For been born
A common mistake
We're all guilty of
I'd rather enter the tomb
Than go back
Back to where it started from
We're All In
All in, all in
and we feel it
Seeking some "likes" to be adored
A common mistake
We're all guilty of
It's killing our minds, bodies & our souls
We're All In
All in, all in
and we feel it

when the elevator stops
on the other side
we gotta
suck it in
Mary went through to the other world
and we're still grieving
don't wanna be alone
on the other side
better get praying
cause mother read the catholic bible
it told her, everything
they say the other side is wonderful
we're told the other side is wonderful
so it's a beautiful place on the other side
they'll be no negative things
mother tries to keep the tears from your eyes
but in the end, there's surely nothing
it's sickening to think
mother broke a fortune cookie it told her
everything

if there was...

beginning to feel
like a part of history
crowning of Kings
creating a mystery
ye, we understand
we don't have a shout
we pick all the pieces
and squeeze them to fit
missed opportunities
and all of them regrets
eager to learn
but with wisdom comes doubt
you're damned if you do & you're damned if you don't
a taste in the mouth
from licking the powers that be
not taking chances
utter complacency
we wont be judged
of this we've no doubts
you're damned if you do & you're damned if you don't
if there was a God
I wore him out
i'm sorry
we are a part
but we don't belong here
we are a part
but we don't belong here
a fatal blow
for the innocent
the takers of
what's beautiful
they'll lay you down
they'll pick you up
they'll be the ones
to fuck you up
so we'll leave today
we'll leave today
if there was a God
I wore him out
if there was a God
I wore him out

when it all comes down
04:22

another servant for another pleb
when it all comes down you'll understand why
I haven't seen you for a while
I hadn't time
another wasted season
another waste of time
when it all comes down you'll understand why
another pointless genius
for another sacrifice
when it all comes down you'll understand why
I haven't seen you for a while
I hadn't time
hope and prayer
it's so last season
befriend the man
who becomes the reason
a worthless fight
cause God's not so pleasing
let's hope today
becomes more appealing
I haven't seen you for a while
I hadn't time
come this way, (you need to give up)
what's here to stay for (you need to let go)
a corruption of sorts
it's tearing us a part
calm it down (you need to give up)
we'll leave by the side door (you need to let go)
& never return or we face the consequence
I haven't seen you for a while
I hadn't time

I really need to get out of here
She said Someone, somewhere, take me home
i'm gonna stay here a while
gonna hope someone will use me
stay for a while,
which one of you would like to take me
someone, somewhere
Just wanna ride
For the night
I wanna hide from your eyes
Someone, somewhere, take me home
Don't wanna talk
Just wanna feel
Loves not part
Of this deal
Someone, somewhere, take me home
It pleases me
Just for a while
Blocking out
My inner child
Someone, somewhere, take me home

fear makes me hungry for this
i'll still come to you
for the thrill
"i got a house in the city" she said
"my girlfriend's so pretty" she said
"lots of laughter with friends" she said
"the kind of friends i'd die for" she said
"i'm gonna stay, in the state i'm currently in"
think i've found the right girl to break
think she likes me,
she's not fake
"i got a house in the city" she said
"my girlfriend's so pretty" she said
"lots of laughter with friends" she said
"the kind of friends i'd die for" she said
"i'm gonna stay, in the state i'm currently in"
I wont open my eyes
i'm too busy dreaming
true friends have passed by
but i was still dreaming
when i look around me
only fools seem to lead me astray

Think I’ll move over
Move to the colder part of your bed
It’s hard to concentrate
When there’s a lot of things going on in your head
I’ll stand by you
But you have to listen to the things that I’ve said
Hold on there’s no-one you need to impress
Could’ve sealed the deal-but gave it a miss
There’s no-one you need to impress
You have
Everything you need here
Everything you need here
Everything you need
The whole world welcomes you
With arms open wide
You know you’ll always have the doubters girl
Just brush them aside
Hypocritical parasites
Just feeding off your fear
There’s a runway too your freedom
You know I’ll be here
You see everyone is humming
But no one wants to sing
You gotta hang out your feelings for everyone to see
If there’s a crack in your armour
Who cares about that
So take your heart out of your head girl
You know I’ve got your back
You’ve got
Everything here

here's the plan
you cling to something
until it passes
and fades to nothing
a foetal position
safe & secure
until that thought comes
to kill you some more
but who will you call?
when this comes around
when all this calms down
there's a place a place
where fallen angels
are stoned & drunk
with featured artists
all day long
one by one they curse
whats done
as they suffer nostalgia
how could this be real
i stalled here for a while
to face a bird shaped cloud in the sky
she said this is not for real
fallen angel on a cold cold pillow
how could this be real
did i not understand you
someone told you
it would be better than it really is
than it really is
someone rushed you, you fought a good fight
but it's time to give in, time to give in
how could this be real
did i not understand you

your silence, my ego
02:58
|
|||
|
if you could see me now
you would hide your face
and walk on by
you wont see me cry
the perfect ending is a quick goodbye
when you were lying before me
when your lips were saying something
i was not there, i wasn't listening
i had one thing on my
dirty mind
i barely even know your name
i'm a hypocritiacal whore
reluctant to settle old scores
with an ever decreasing mind
the over indulgent kind
when you were lying before me
when your lips were saying something
i was not there, i wasn't listening
i had one thing on my
dirty mind
i barely even know your name
your silence, my ego
your silent lips upon this
your silence, my ego
your lips upon this

as you are
04:13
|

|
all these changes are destined for
greater complications so,
get up and run
don't give your dreams up
they served you well
take your place
and live to tell
you stay, as you are
if only you could see how wonderful you are
don't make sense of what you do
exaggerate and things come true
don't believe my soul
problems tend to stay a while
fool them curse them
they'll die with time
promise them, you'll never look back
save your strength for another attack
you stay, as you are
if only you could see how wonderful you are
if they control me
they own me
you need to light up each channel
now with feeling
you'll see it, so
you stay, as you are
if only you could see how wonderful you are

a festival of colours
03:23

i see you
at the bottom of a lake
and now you're through
no more pain for us to go through
a festival of colours
is needed in the air
the walk of a skanger
he dont really care
the cheek of a scumbag
going through your home
he talks to the devil
cause no God roams
i see you
at the bottom of a lake
i'm happy for you
cause you know how much i hate
a festival of colours
is needed in the air
the walk of a skanger
he dont really care
the cheek of a scumbag
going through your home
he talks to the devil
cause no God roams
are we ever gonna learn
