BURN

I'll tell you now you can't win this, cause you're way too slow.
I'll tell you now I'm gonna take this, did you come here to watch me burn?
I'll let it show that I'm not always hiding, come all the way down and watch me burn.
I won't let it show that I'm not always flying, so on the way down I'll watch you burn.
So let me know just how to take this, cause you're way to cold.
Now show me how before it breaks me, did you come here to watch me burn?
I'll let it show that I'm not always hiding, come all the way down and watch me burn.
I won't let it show that I'm not always flying, so on the way down I'll watch you burn.

JUST LIKE YOU

I could be mean, I could be angry, you know I could be just like you.
I could be fake, I could be stupid, you know I could be just like you.
You thought you were standing beside me, you were only in my way; you're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you.
You thought you were there to guide me, you were only in my way, you're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you.
I could be cold, I could be ruthless, you know I could be just like you.
I could be weak, I could be senseless, you know I could be just like you.
You thought you were standing beside me, you were only in my way; you're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you.
You thought you were there to guide me, you were only in my way, you're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you.
On my own, cause I can't take living with you; I'm alone, so I won't turn out like you want me to.

I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

Every time we lie awake, after every hit we take, every feeling that I get, but I haven't missed you yet.
Every roommate kept awake by every sigh and scream we make, all the feelings that I get, but I still don't miss you yet.
Only when I stop to think about it, I hate everything about you, why do I love you?
Only when I stop to think about you, I know; only when you stop to think about me, do you know?
I hate everything about you, why do I love you? You hate everything about me, why do you love me?

HOME

I'll be coming home just to be alone, cause I know you're not there and I know that you don't care.
I can hardly wait to leave this place.
No matter how hard I try, you're never satisfied, this is not a home, I think I'm better off alone.
You always disappear even when you're here, this is not my home, I think I'm better off alone.
This house is not a home.
By the time you come home I'm already stoned, you turn off the TV and you scream at me.
I can hardly wait til you get off my case.
No matter how hard I try, you're never satisfied, this is not a home, I think I'm better off alone.
You always disappear even when you're here, this is not my home, I think I'm better off alone.
This house is not a home.

SCARED

At night I hear it creeping, at night I feel it move, I'll never sleep here anymore.
I wish you'd never told me, I wish I never knew, I wake up screaming, it's all because of you.
So real, these voices in my head, when it comes back you won't be scared and lonely.
You won't be scared, you won't be, you won't be scared and lonely, you won't be scared, you won't be lonely.
I know there's something out there, I think I hear it move, I've never felt like this before.
I wish you'd never told me, I wish I never knew, I wake up screaming, it's all because of you.
So real, these voices in my head, when it comes back you won't be scared and lonely.
You won't be scared, you won't be, you won't be scared and lonely, you won't be scared, you won't be lonely.

LET YOU DOWN

Trust me, there's no need to fear, everyone's here, waiting for you to finally be one of us.
Come down, you may be full of fear but you'll be safe here, when you finally trust me, finally believe in me.
I will let you down, I'll let you down when you finally trust me, finally believe in me.
Trust me, I'll be there when you need me, you'll be safe here when you finally trust me, finally believe in me.
I will let you down, I'll let you down when you finally trust me, finally believe in me.
Never want to come down.

NOW OR NEVER

In this time are we loving or do we sit here wondering why this world isn't turning around, it's now or never.
We have no use for the truth and now's the time for us to lose who we are and how we've tried taking every step in stride.
It's now or never to decide.
In this time are we loving or do we sit here wondering why this world isn't turning around, it's now or never.
In this way are we learning or do we sit here yearning for this world to stop turning around, it's now or never.
Where's the truth for us to use, cause all we seem to do is lose who we are and how we've tried,
Are we all the same inside, it's now or never to decide.
In this time are we loving or do we sit here wondering why this world isn't turning around, it's now or never.
In this way are we learning or do we sit here yearning for this world to stop turning around, it's now or never.

BORN LIKE THIS

It's not what I took from you, it's not what I stole, we are born like this.
The time has come to change this, to stretch the thought a mile.
We've lost that kind of spirit, we want it back today.
The time is right to change this, to make the life we know.
They took what we were given, we'll get it back again.
Somewhere someone's gun is laughing.
It's not what I gave to you, it's not what I sold, we are born like this.
It's not what I took from you, it's not what I stole, we are born like this.
You try your best to mock me, you're always in my way.
You've lost what you've been given, you'll get it back today.
The time is right to change this, to make the life we know.
They took what we were given, we want it back again.
Somewhere someone's gun, someone's gun is laughing.
Somewhere someone's gun is laughing.
It's not what I gave to you, it's not what I sold, we are born like this.
It's not what I took from you, it's not what I stole, we are born like this.
Somewhere you're floating high, you're not living, we are.

DROWN

Good morning day, sorry I'm not there, but all my favourite friends vanished in the air.
It's hard to fly when you can't even run, once I had the world, but now I've got no one.
If I needed someone to control me, if I needed someone to hold me down,
I would change my direction and save myself before I --
If I needed someone to control me, if I needed someone to push me around,
I would change my direction and save myself before I drown.
Good morning day, sorry you're not here, all those times before were never this unclear.
It's hard to walk when you can't even crawl, once I had this world, but now I've lost it all.
If I needed someone to control me, if I needed someone to hold me down,
I would change my direction and save myself before I --
If I needed someone to control me, if I needed someone to push me around,
I would change my direction and save myself before I drown.
Rolling faster than I'm breathing.

WAKE UP

I'm not sober all the time, you bring me down, at least you try, until we see this eye to eye, I don't want you.
I must be running out of luck, cause you're just not drunk enough to fuck, and now I've had it up to here, I don't want you.
It took so long to see you walked away from me when I need you.
Wake up, I'm pounding on the door, I'm not the man I was before, where the hell are you when I need you?
Wake up, I'm pounding on the door, I won't hurt you anymore, where the hell are you when I need you?
I'm not angry all the time, you push me down, at least you try, until we see this eye to eye, I don't want you.
It took so long to see you walked away from me when I need you.
Wake up, I'm pounding on the door, I'm not the man I was before, where the hell are you when I need you?
Wake up, I'm pounding on the door, I won't hurt you anymore, where the hell are you when I need you?

TAKE ME UNDER

Now it seems I'm fading, all my dreams are not worth saving,
I've done my share of waiting and I've still got nowhere else to go,
So I wait for you to take me all the way.
Seems you're wanting me to stay, but my dreams would surely waste away,
And I still have nowhere else to go, so I wait for you to take me all the way.
Push me under, pull me further, take me all the way.
Now it seems you're leaving, but we've only just begun, and you've still got nowhere else to go,
So I wait for you to take me all the way.
Push me under, pull me further, take me all the way.
And I've been waiting so long.

OVERRATED

Worn out and faded, the weakness starts to show, they've created the generation that we know.
Washed up and hated, the system moves too slow, they give us answers to questions they don't even know.
You made it, you played it, your shit is overrated.
Used up and jaded, you're thinking way to slow, so we're creating answers on our own.
We can't relate to what you think you know and you create the problems that will never go away.
You made it, you played it, your shit is overrated.

from the album "One-X"

IT'S ALL OVER

Your bottle's almost empty, you know this can't go on, because of you my mind is always racing.
The needle's breaking your skin, the scar is sinking in, and now your trip begins, but it's all over for you.
When you're on the edge and falling off, it's all over for you.
I know what runs through your blood, you do this all in vain, because of you my mind is always racing.
And it gets under my skin to see you giving in, and now your trip begins but it's all over for you.
When you're on the edge and falling off, it's all over for you.
And now you're dead inside, still you wonder why (it's all over).

PAIN

Pain without love, pain, I can't get enough, pain, I like it rough cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all.
You're sick of feeling numb, you're not the only one, I'll take you by the hand and I'll show you a world that you can understand.
This life is filled with hurt when happiness doesn't work, trust me and take my hand, when the lights go out you will understand.
Pain without love, pain, I can't get enough, pain, I like it rough cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all.
Anger and agony are better than misery, trust me, I've got a plan, when the lights go off you will understand.
Pain without love, pain, I can't get enough, pain, I like it rough cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all.
I know that you're wounded, you know that I'm here to save you,
You know I'm always here for you, I know that you'll thank me later.

ANIMAL I HAVE BECOME

I can't escape this hell, so many times I've tried, but I'm still caged inside,
Somebody get me through this nightmare, I can't control myself.
So what if you can see the darkest side of me? No one will ever change this animal I have become.
Help me believe it's not the real me, somebody help me tame this animal.
I can't escape myself, so many times I've lied, but there's still rage inside,
Somebody get me through this nightmare, I can't control myself.
So what if you can see the darkest side of me? No one will ever change this animal I have become.
Help me believe it's not the real me, somebody help me tame this animal.
Somebody help me through this nightmare, I can't control myself.
Somebody wake me from this nightmare, I can't escape this hell.

NEVER TOO LATE

This world will never be what I expected, and if I don't belong, who would have guessed it?
I will not leave alone everything that I own to make you feel like it's not too late, it's never too late.
Even if I say it'll be alright, still I hear you say you want to end your life.
Now and again we try to just stay alive, maybe we'll turn it around cause it's not too late, it's never too late.
No one will ever see this side reflected, and if there's something wrong, who would have guessed it?
And I have left alone everything that I own to make you feel like it's not too late, it's never too late.
Even if I say it'll be alright, still I hear you say you want to end your life.
Now and again we try to just stay alive, maybe we'll turn it around cause it's not too late, it's never too late.
The world we knew won't come back, the time we've lost can't get back, the life we had won't be ours again.
This world will never be what I expected and if I don't belong…

ON MY OWN

I walk alone, think of home, memories of long ago, no one knows I lost my soul long ago.
Lied too much, she said that she's had enough, am I too much, she said that she's had enough.
Standing on my own, remembering the one I left at home,
Forget about the life I used to know, forget about the one I left at home.
I need to run far away, can't go back to that place, like she told me, I'm just a big disgrace.
Lied too much, she said that she's had enough, am I too much, she said that she's had enough.
Standing on my own, remembering the one I left at home,
Forget about the life I used to know, forget about the one I left at home.
So now I'm standing here alone, I'm learning how to live life on my own.
Lied too much, I think that I've had enough, am I too much, she said that she's had enough.
I'm standing on my own, remembering the one I left at home,
Forget about the life I used to know, forget about the one I left at home.
So now I'm standing here alone, I'm learning how to live life on my own,
Forget about the past I'll never know, forget about the one I left at home.

RIOT

If you feel so empty, so used up, so let down,
If you feel so angry, so ripped off, so stepped on,
You're not the only one refusing to back down, you're not the only one, so get up, let's start a riot.
If you feel so filthy, so dirty, so fucked up,
If you feel so walked on, so painful, so pissed off,
You're not the only one refusing to go down, you're not the only one, so get up, let's start a riot.
If you feel so empty, so used up, so let down, if you feel so angry, just get up, let's start a riot.

GET OUT ALIVE

'No time for goodbye,' he said as he faded away,
'Don't put your life in someone's hands, they're bound to steal it away.
Don't hide your mistakes, cause they'll find you, burn you.'
Then he said, 'If you want to get out alive, run for your life.'
'This is my last time,' she said as she faded away,
'It's hard to imagine, but one day you'll end up like me.'
Then she said, 'If you want to get out alive, run for your life.'
If I stay it won't be long til I'm burning on the inside,
If I go I can only hope that I make it to the other side.
If you want to get out alive, run for your life.

LET IT DIE

We had fire in our eyes in the beginning, I never felt so alive in the beginning.
You blame me but it's not fair when you say that I didn't try, I just don't want to hear it anymore.
I swear I never meant to let it die, I just don't care about you anymore;
It's not fair when you say that I didn't try, I just don't care about you anymore.
We had time on our side in the beginning, we had nothing to hide in the beginning.
You blame me but it's not fair when you say that I didn't try, I just don't want to hear it anymore.
I swear I never meant to let it die, I just don't care about you anymore;
It's not fair when you say that I didn't try, I just don't care about you anymore.

OVER AND OVER

I feel it every day, it's all the same, it brings me down but I'm the one to blame.
I've tried everything to get away, so here I go again, chasing you down again, why do I do this?
Over and over I fall for you, over and over I try not to.
It feels like every day stays the same, it's dragging me down and I can't pull away,
So here I go again, chasing you down again, why do I do this?
Over and over I fall for you, over and over I try not to.
Over and over you make me fall for you, over and over you don't even try.
So many thoughts that I can't get out of my head.
I try to live without you, every time I do I feel dead.
I know what's best for me, but I want you instead, I'll keep on wasting all my time.

TIME OF DYING

On the ground I lay, motionless in pain, I can see my life flashing before my eyes.
Dead I fall asleep, is this all a dream? Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare.
I will not die, I will survive.
I will not die, I'll wait here for you, I feel alive when you're beside me.
I will not die, I'll wait here for you in my time of dying.
On this bed I lay, losing everything, I can see my life passing me by.
Was it all too much or just not enough? Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare.
I will not die, I will survive.
I will not die, I'll wait here for you, I feel alive when you're beside me.
I will not die, I'll wait here for you in my time of dying.

GONE FOREVER

Don't know what's going on, don't know what went wrong.
Feels like a hundred years, I still can't believe you're gone.
So I'll stay up all night with these bloodshot eyes while these walls surround me with the story of our life.
I feel so much better now that you're gone forever, I tell myself that I don't miss you at all.
I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now that you're gone forever.
Now things are coming clear and I don't need you here, and in this world around me, I'm glad you disappeared.
So I'll stay out all night, get drunk and fuck and fight, until the morning comes I'll forget about our life.
I feel so much better now that you're gone forever, I tell myself that I don't miss you at all.
I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now that you're gone forever.
First time you screamed at me, I should have made you leave, I should have known it could be so much better.
I hope you're missing me, I hope I've made you see that I'm gone forever.
And now it's coming clear that I don't need you here, and in this world around me, I'm glad you disappeared.

ONE-X

Do you think about everything you've been through? You never thought you'd be so depressed.
Are you wondering, is it life or death, do you think that there's no one like you?
We are the ones, we get knocked down, we get back up and stand above the crowd, we are one.
The life I think about is so much better than this, I never thought I'd be stuck in this mess.
I'm sick of wondering, is it life or death, I need to figure out who's behind you.
We are the ones, we get knocked down, we get back up and stand above the crowd, we are one.

from the album "Life Starts Now"

BITTER TASTE

Just let me say one thing, I've had enough, you're selfish and sorry, you'll never learn how to love.
As your world disassembles, better keep your head up.
Your name, your face is all you have left now; betrayed, disgraced, you've been erased.
So long, I have erased you, so long I've wanted to waste you; so long, I have erased you, I have escaped the bitter taste of you.
Just let me clear my head, I think I've had too much, you're so disappointing but you make good use of it.
As your world disassembles, better keep your head up.
Your name, your face is all you have left now; betrayed, disgraced, you've been erased.
So long, I have erased you, so long I've wanted to waste you; so long, I have erased you, I have escaped the bitter taste of you.

BREAK

Tonight my head is spinning, I need something to pick me up.
I've tried but nothing is working, I won't stop, I won't say I've had enough.
Tonight I start the fire, tonight I break away, break away from everybody, break away from everything.
If you can't stand the way this place is, take yourself to higher places.
At night I feel like a vampire, it's not right but I just can't give it up.
I'll try to get myself higher, let's go, we're gonna light it up.
Tonight we start the fire, tonight we break away, break away from everybody, break away from everything.
If you can't stand the way this place is, take yourself to higher places.

WORLD SO COLD

I never thought I'd feel this guilty and I'm broken down inside, living with myself, nothing but lies.
I always thought I'd make it, but never knew I'd let it get so bad, living with myself is all I have.
I feel numb, I can't come to life, I feel like I'm frozen in time.
Living in a world so cold, wasting away, living in a shell with no soul since you've gone away.
Living in a world so cold, counting the days since you've gone away.
Do you ever feel me, do you ever look deep down inside, staring at yourself, paralysed?
I feel numb, I can't come to life, I feel like I'm frozen in time.
Living in a world so cold, wasting away, living in a shell with no soul since you've gone away.
Living in a world so cold, counting the days since you've gone away.
I'm too young to lose my soul, I'm too young to feel this old, so long I'm left behind, I feel like I'm losing my mind.

LOST IN YOU

I always knew that you'd come back to get me, and you always knew that it wouldn't be easy
To go back to the start to see where it all began, or end up at the bottom to watch how it all ends.
You tried to lie and say I was everything, I remember when I said I'm nothing without you.
Somehow I found a way to get lost in you, let me inside, let me get close to you.
Change your mind, I'll get lost if you want me to, somehow I found a way to get lost in you.
You always thought that I left myself open, but you didn't know I was already broken.
I told myself that it wouldn't be so bad, pulling away, you took everything that I had.
You tried to lie and say I was everything, I remember when I said I'm nothing without you.
Somehow I found a way to get lost in you, let me inside, let me get close to you.
Change your mind, I'll get lost if you want me to, somehow I found a way to get lost in you.
The pain of it all, the rise and the fall, I see it all in you, now every day I find myself saying I want to get lost in you.

THE GOOD LIFE

The good life is what I need, too many people stepping over me.
The only thing that's been on my mind is the one thing I need before I die.
All I want is a little of the good life, all I need is to have a good time, the good life.
I don't really know who I am, it's time for me to take a stand.
I need a change and I need it fast, I know that any day could be the last.
All I want is a little of the good life, all I need is to have a good time, the good life.
Hold on, I always wanted it this way, we never wanted it this way.
Hold on, I always wanted it this way, we didn't ask for it this way.
All I want is a little of the good life, all I need is to have a good time, the good life.

NO MORE

Give me reason to stay here, cause I don't want to live in fear.
I can't stop the rain but I can stop the tears, I can fight the fire but I can't fight the fear.
No more, I just can't live here no more, I can't take it no more, what do we stand for when we all live in fear?
Give me reason to believe, cause you don't want to see me leave.
I can't stop the rain but I can stop the tears, I can fight the fire but I can't fight the fear.
No more, I just can't live here no more, I can't take it no more, what do we stand for when we all live in fear?

LAST TO KNOW

She just walked away, why didn't she tell me, and where do I go tonight?
This isn't happening to me, this can't be happening to me, she didn't say a word, just walked away.
You were the first to say that we were not okay, you were the first to lie when we were not alright.
This was my first love, she was the first to go, and when she left me for you, I was the last to know.
Why didn't she tell me where to go tonight, she didn't say word, she just walked away.
You were the first to say that we were not okay, you were the first to lie when we were not alright.
This was my first love, she was the first to go, and when she left me for you, I was the last to know.
I'll be the first to say that now I'm okay, and for the first time I've opened up my eyes.
This was my worst love, you'll be the first to go, and when she leaves you for dead, you'll be the last to know.

SOMEONE WHO CARES

Every street in this city is the same to me, everyone's got a place to be, but there's no room for me.
Am I to blame when the guilt and the shame hang over me like a dark cloud that chases you down in the pouring rain?
It's so hard to find someone who cares about you, but it's easy enough to find someone who looks down on you.
Why is it so hard to find someone who cares about you, when it's easy enough to find someone who looks down on you?
It's not what it seems when you're not on the scene, there's a chill in the air,
But there's people like me that nobody sees, so nobody cares.
Why is it so hard to find someone who cares about you, when it's easy enough to find someone who looks down on you?
Why is it so hard to find someone who can keep it together when you've come undone?
Why is it so hard to find someone who cares about you?
I swear this time it won't turn out the same, cause now I've got myself to blame,
And you'll know when we end up on the streets that it's easy enough to find someone who looks down on you.

BULLY

He wakes up haunted, with voices in his head, nobody knows it but today he won't go unnoticed.
He can't forget, can't forgive for what they said, he's never been so hurt, but today the screaming is over.
Blame the family, blame the bully, blame it on me, maybe he needed to be wanted.
She takes the long way home, fighting her emotions, she's a loner, but tonight she won't go unnoticed.
If she can't remember when she loses her temper, nobody knows her, but tonight the silence is over.
Blame the family, blame the bully, blame it on me, maybe she needed to be wanted.
Blame the family, blame the bully, blame it on me, maybe they needed to be wanted.

WITHOUT YOU

What if I walked without you, what if I ran without you, what if I stand without you, I could not go on.
What if I lived without you, what if I loved without you, what if I died without you, I could not go on.
You left my side tonight, and I just don't feel right, but I can't let you out of sight, without you I'm no one, I'm nothing at all.
What if I lie without you, what if I rise without you, and what if I dream without you, I could not go on.
You left my side tonight, and I just don't feel right, but I can't let you out of sight, without you I'm no one, I'm nothing at all.

GOIN' DOWN

Took me down to the river so I could drown, looking up through the water I kept sinking down.
I feel like I'm dying, I got one foot in the ground, never knew what love was until you came around.
You're going down, you walked all over me, you never thought I'd be the one who's laughing now, now that you're going down.
Take you down to the basement, you look around, we sit there in silence, I watch you go down.
I feel like I'm flying, I got my head in the clouds, never thought I was crazy until you came around.
You're going down, you walked all over me, you never thought I'd be the one who's laughing now, now that you're going down.

LIFE STARTS NOW

You say you feel so down every time I turn around, and you say you should have been gone by now.
And you think that everything's wrong, you ask me how to carry on, we'll make it through another day, just hold on,
Cause life starts now, you've done all the things that could kill you somehow,
And you're so far down, but you will survive it somehow, because life starts now.
I hate to see you fall down, I'll pick you up off the ground, I've watched the weight of your world come down,
And now it's your chance to move on, change the way you've lived for so long, and find the strength you've had inside all along,
Cause life starts now, you've done all the things that could kill you somehow,
And you're so far down, but you will survive it somehow, because life starts now.
All this pain, take this life and make it yours, all this hate, take your heart and let it love again, you will survive this somehow.
