01. Blood (Empty Promises) - Lyrics:

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

You better watch out, if 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?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
The ones you love, the ones you love, the ones you love

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

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

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

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
Yes, it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love.

02. Not Listening - Lyrics:

I'm not listenin', not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listenin', not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore
I'm not listenin', not anymore
No

'Cause you gotta be bigger and be faster and be stronger
If your gonna survive any longer
In this lifetime it better be the right time
The first time might be your last time
Am I a failure, if I got nothin' to lose?
No I'm not a failure, I've got somethin' to prove

I'm not listenin', not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listenin', 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 fuck you I'll make my own plan
And I got respect and I don't neglect
The people that I really care to protect
Am I a failure?, if I got nothin' to lose
No, I'm not a failure, I've got somethin' to prove

I'm not listenin', not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listenin', not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore
I'm not listenin', not anymore
No

I told you before, won't listen no more
I told you before, lets settle the score
I told you before, won't listen no more
I told you before, lets settle the score

If not me then who?
If not now then when?
If not me then who?
If not now then when?

I'm not listenin', not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listenin', not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore

I told you before, won't listen no more
I told you before, lets settle the score
I told you before, won't listen no more
I told you before, lets settle the score

Set it off right now
Blow it up, set it off
Fuck it up, set it off
Blow it up, blow it up
Right now.

03. Stop Looking Start Seeing - Lyrics:

Hit or miss, fuck a 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
(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 lead 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
(These walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow

Stop looking
Start seeing now
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
(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
And I'll never be the same
(Why does the truth always have to hurt?)

04. Take Me - Lyrics:

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 is no one else around
'Cause I wanna be part of something
This is just a story of a broken soul

And 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 was in a coma and none of my friends can tell
That I'm reaching out and getting nothing
This is just a story of a broken soul

And 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!

And 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

And 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.

05. Getting Away With Murder - Lyrics:

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am waiting for disaster

I feel irrational, so confrontational
To tell the truth again
I'm getting away with murder
And is it possible 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 don't need to
Because I'm getting away with murder

I feel irrational, so confrontational
To tell the truth
I am getting away with murder
And is it possible 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 happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
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
And is it 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
And is it possible to never tell the truth?
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder.

06. Be Free - Lyrics:

I woke up and I feel like shit
I don't remember last night
I'm gettin', 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 were 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 bein' 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

Now I'm full of guilt and shame
I can't point a finger 'cause
There's no one to blame
So I say you'll never do it again
But when the sun goes down
You are my, only friend
I think that I am startin' 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 bein' 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 fom this life of pain and
Be free from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you

Sick and tired of bein' sick and tired
So sick and tired of bein' sick and tired
Sick and tired of bein' sick and tired
So sick and tired of bein' 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.

07. Done With You - Lyrics:

I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver an' a broken heart
There's no salvation in the comfort of you
(Comfort of you)
And I finally realize you're tearin' 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 loved you 'cause you're, oh so special
(Oh so special)
I'm broken and I'm alone and I can not 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 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)
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

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.

08. Scars - Lyrics:

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I cared 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 'cuz you came around
Why don't you just go home?

'Cuz you channeled all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I cared too much
And our 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 going 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 cared too much
And our 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 should've never come around
Why don't you just go home?

'Cuz 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 cared too much
And our 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 cared too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel.

09. Sometimes - Lyrics:

I'm dreamin' about tomorrow
I'm thinkin' of yesterday
I consume myself in sorrow
This moment in time
Is what I betray
But 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 spinnin' out of control

I never 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
But 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 spinnin' out of control

I will go this alone
I don't need nobodys 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 spinnin' 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 spinnin' out of control.

10. Blanket Of Fear - Lyrics:

I am awake under this blanket of fear
And I must say, none of the people I see belong here
Now everyone's asleep, 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 fallin' in my dream I finally hit the ground
I'm fallin' in my dream I finally hit the ground
I hit the ground

Because I, I can't keep my mind from goin' into dark places
Because I, I can't keep my mind from goin' into dark places

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 fallin' in my dream I finally hit the ground
I'm fallin' in my dream I finally hit the ground.

11. Tyranny Of Normality - Lyrics:

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

It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality

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, retired

It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality

It's the death of outrage
I want to turn a new page
I mourn the death of outrage
The obituary's on the front page

Since the death of outrage
I want to turn a new page
I'll mourn the death of outrage
The obituary's on the front page

It's the death of outrage
I mourn the death of outrage
The obituary's on the front page

It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality.

12. Do Or Die - Lyrics:

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 dyin'
My strength has overcome my 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 time 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
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore

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 dyin'

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

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
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore.
