Hope, a new beginning
Time, time to start living Just like just before we died There's no going back to the place we started from Hurt, falling through fingers Trust, trust in the feeling There's something left inside There's no going back to the place we started from All secrets known Calm, old wounds are healing Strong, truth is worth saving I want to feel alive There's no going back to the place we started from All secrets known 02. Check My Brain Music by Jerry Cantrell
So I found myself in the sun, oh yeah
A hell of a place to end a run, oh yeah California, I'm fine Somebody check my brain California's all right Somebody check my brain Check my brain I walk these streets, I creep and I fall, oh yeah When she sang I answered the call, oh yeah California, I'm fine Somebody check my brain California's all right Somebody check my brain Aaaaah tears that filled my bong Aaaaah years expended gone I hung my guns and put em away, oh yeah The trick of the trade, and by the way, oh yeah California, I'm fine Somebody check my brain California's all right Somebody check my brain Aaaah tears that filled my bong Aaaah years expended gone Aaaah tears that filled my bong Aaaah years expended gone Aaaah tears that filled my bong Aaaah years expended gone Check my brain, check my brain... 03. Last Of My Kind
So young, so brazen, so unholy
I come to you in painted skies Your broken teacher, ancient story The living challenge to their lies Trapped in the cold outside There ain't no shelter And they want to force my hand Until I take what I want And then break all the lies That they feed the fucking liars Smash all the temples And crawl through the rubble And cry to the fallen I'm the last of my kind still standing I'm alone Roll over all upon the hillside I am ??? what they throw away I go to sleep behind the eight ball I live to fight for one more day I'm trapped in the cold outside There ain't there no shelter And they want to force my hand Until I take what I want And then break all the lies That they feed the fucking liars Smash all the temples And crawl through the rubble And cry to the fallen I'm the last of my kind still standing I'm alone (The last of my kind still standing) 04. Your Decision
Time to change has come and gone
Watched your fears become your god It's your decision It's your decision Overwhelmed, you chose to run Apathetic to the stunt It's your decision It's your decision You feed the fire that burned us all When you lie To feel the pain that spurs you on Black inside No one plans to take the path that brings you lower And here you stand before us all and say it's over It's over It might seem an afterthought Yes, it hurts to you know you're bought It's your decision It's your decision You feed the fire that burned us all When you lie To feel the pain that spurs you on Black inside It's your decision It's your decision No one plans to take the path that brings you lower And here you stand before us all and say it's over It's over 05. A Looking In View
Hear foot steps creak the floor
The shadows give away Someone outside the door Wont let 'em in Life damaged gives to crime A run down broke machine That steals your piece of mind Before you know it's gone Lay down Lay Silence burning on your tongue Keep us separate Hiding in the darkest slumber Boiling to the surface A looking in view too long on the outside Desperate plans make sense in the low light A looking in view too long on the outside Desperate plans make sense in the low light These things I hate in you Also reflect it seems Distortion laced with spite Teach you how to leave Lay down Lay Hiding in the darkest slumber Boiling to the surface Crawling on your skin, discomfort Makes you brake and run and stumble, fall A looking in view too long on the outside Desperate plans make sense in the low light A looking in view too long on the outside Desperate plans make sense in the low light It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind) It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind) It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind) It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind) A looking in view too long on the outside Desperate plans make sense in the low light A looking in view too long on the outside Desperate plans make sense in the low light It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind) 06. When The Sun Rose Again
Run
Run 'til you drop Hide Everyone knows We all trade in never befores Selling out for the score Pray Squeal when you're caught Cry It's not my fault Time to trade in never befores Selling out for the score It seems you prophesized, all of this would end Were you burned away, when the sun rose again Hate Long wearing thin Negative All you've been Time to trade in never befores Selling out for the score It seems you prophesized, all of this would end Were you burned away, when the sun rose again 07. Acid Bubble
You tried to kill me off
Surprised, I remain A scale tips, impossible Afraid of my own name And I always paid attention to all the lines you crossed Forgive this imperfection it shows, and know I am the child that lives and cries in a corner Dies in a corner Alone inside your mind Intent obsolescence Built into the system I tried to shake it off You can't remove this stain A scale breaks, impossible Afraid we are the same And you never paid attention, to all the lines I crossed Forgive this imperfection it shows, and know I am the child that lives and cries in a corner Dies in a corner Alone inside your mind Hides in a corner Dies in a corner Alone inside your mind Intent obsolescence Built into the system 08. Lesson Learned
Just another lesson learned
Wear a scar, a bore repeating Take a simple fateful turn Opened up to stop the bleeding Feeling like you never could Been the disconnected frying Hit the vein and struck a nerve Seeing through a self that's blinding Nowhere to buy in Most of us hiding Others are shining You know when you find it In your darkest hour, you strike gold A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all Just another lesson learned... Just another brick you toss Stone the number one deceiver Multiply the added cost Easy to become a believer Feeling like you never could Been the disconnected frying Hit the vein and struck a nerve Seeing through a self that's blinding Nowhere to buy in Most of us hiding Others are shining You know when you find it In your darkest hour, you strike gold A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all Just another lesson learned... 09. Take Her Out
Here I am again
I feel time is dragging on Are you getting tired of me? Wenching, overdrawn Faceless, blind Want to take her out again She's not just mine Want to take her out again In a body less embraced Thriving, I have grown Fickle, changing grip, replace Choking, take it all Faceless, blind Want to take her out again She's not just mine Want to take her out again Dedicated, true to form Still the only one Only guarantee Continue after I am done Faceless, blind Want to take her out again She's not just mine Want to take her out again 10. Private Hell
Give away another memory
Move another truth Painted words hooked on the walls Echoing untrue (I feel cold) Promises abound You rarely find them to begin Maybe I'm afraid To let you all the way in (I guess so) I excuse myself I'm used to my little cell I abuse myself In my very own private hell Lately I'm beside myself Pretending unconcerned Standing at a corner Where I threw you on a turn (I move on) Flowers on the cross remain Mark an ending scene Dammit, all this blood you spilled Turned the grass more green (Life is short) I excuse myself I'm used to my little cell I abuse myself In my very own private hell 11. Black Gives Way To Blue
I don't want to feel no more
It's easier to keep falling Imitation's a veil Emptiness all Tommorow's haunted by your ghost Lay down Black gives way to blue Lay down I remember you Fading out by your side Conciously avoiding changes Curtains drawn now its done Silencing all Tommorow's forcing a goodbye Lay down Black gives way to blue Lay down I'l be here for you |
