12 - Life Starts Now
Lyrics
"Life Starts Now"
You say you feel so down,
Every time I turn around
You say you should've
Been gone by now,
You think that everything's wrong,
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 this
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,
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 this
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
Life starts now,
You've done all the things
That could kill you somehow
And you're so far down
Life starts now,
You've done all the things
That could kill you somehow
And you're so far down
Life starts now
11 - Goin' Down
Lyrics
"Goin' Down"
Took me down to the river
So I could
Drown, drown, drown
Looking up through the water
I kept sinking
Down, down, 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're going down down
You walked all over me
You never thought I'd be
The one who's laughting
Now that you're going down
Take you down
To the basement
You look around round round
We sit there in silence I wathed you go
Down down down
I feel like I'm flying
I got my head in the clouds
Never thought I was crazy
Until you came around
Took me down to the river
So I could
Drown, drown, drown
You're going down
You're going down down
You walked all over me
You never thought I'd be
The one who's laughting
Now that you're going down [x2]
10 - Without You
Lyrics
"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 love 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
Nothing at all
09 - Bully
Lyrics
"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
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 she needed to be wanted
Blame the family
Blame the bully
Blame it on me
Maybe they needed to be wanted
Blame the family
Blame the bully
Blame it on me
Maybe they needed
To be wanted
08 - Someone Who Cares
Lyrics
"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
But 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
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?
07 - Last to Know
Lyrics
"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 [x2]
06 - No More
Lyrics
"No More"
Give me a 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
Can't take it
No more
What do we
Stand for
When we all
Live in fear?
Give me a reason
To believe
Cause you don't
Wanna see me leave
I can't stop
The rain
But I can stop
The tears
Oh, 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
Can't take it
No more
What do we
Stand for
When we all
Live in fear?
No more
I just can't
Live here
No more
I can't take it
Can't take it
No more
What do we
Stand for
When we all
Live in fear?
05 - The Good Life
Lyrics
"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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus x2]
Hold on, hold on
I always wanted it this way
I never wanted it this way
Hold on, hold on
I always wanted it this way
We didn't ask for it this way
I always wanted this way
[Chorus x2]
04 - Lost in You
Lyrics
"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 everyday
I find myself sayin'
I want to get lost in you
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 but
Somehow I found (somehow I found)
A way to get lost in you (a way to get lost in you)
03 - World So Cold
Lyrics
"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
Paralyzed
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
You've gone away from me
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
Do you ever feel me
Do you ever look
Deep down inside
Staring at your life
Paralyzed
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 [x2]
02 - Break
Lyrics
"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
[Chorus:]
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can’t stand the way
This place is
Take yourself to higher places
(ohhh, ohhh)
At night I feel like a vampire
It’s not right
I just can’t give it up
I’ll try to get myself higher
Let’s go
We’re going to light it up
Tonight we start the fire
Tonight we break away
[Chorus:]
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can’t stand the way
This place is
Take yourself to higher places
If you can’t stand the way this place is
Take (take) yourself (yourself)
To higher places
[Chorus:]
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can’t stand the way
This place is
Take yourself to higher places
(ohh…higher places)
(ohh…to higher places)
(ohh…higher places)
Take yourself to higher places
01 - Bitter Taste
Lyrics
"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, so long
I have erased you
So long, so long
I've wanted to waste you
So long, 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, so long
I have erased you
So long, so long
I've wanted to waste you
So long, so long
I have erased you
I have escaped
The bitter taste of you
[guitar solo]
Your name,
Your face is
All you have left now
Disgraced, betrayed
You've been erased
So long, so long
I have erased you
So long, so long
I've wanted to waste you
So long, so long
I have erased you
I have escaped
The bitter taste ...
I have escaped
The bitter taste of you
12 - One X
Lyrics
"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
We are
We are
We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one
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 me
We are
We are
We are
We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one
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?
We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one
We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one
We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd (Crowd)
(We stand) We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd (We Stand)
We stand above the crowd
(We are the ones) We stand above the crowd
(We get knocked down get back up) We stand above the crowd
(We are the ones) We stand above the crowd
(We get knocked down get back up) We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd
11 - Gone Forever
Lyrics
"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 fuckin' 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
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
And now you're gone forever
And now you're gone forever
10 - Time Of Dying
Lyrics
"Time Of Dying"
On the ground I lay
Motionless in pain
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
Did I fall asleep?
Is this all a dream
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
I will not die (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 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
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
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I will not die, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
09 - Over and Over
Lyrics
"Over And Over"
I feel it everyday 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, over and over
I fall for you
Over and over, over and over
I try not to
It feels like everyday 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, over and over
I fall for you
Over and over, over and over
I try not to
Over and over, over and over
You make me fall for you
Over and over, 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
Over and over, over and over
I fall for you
Over and over, over and over
I try not to
Over and over, over and over
You make me fall for you
Over and over, over and over
You don't even try to
08 - Let It Die
Lyrics
"Let It Die"
We had fire in our eyes
In the beginning I
Never felt so alive
In the beginning you
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
We had nothing to hide
In the beginning you
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
You say that I didn't try
You say that I didn't try
You say that I didn't try
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
I just don't care about you anymore
I just don't care about you anymore
I just don't care about you anymore
I just don't care about you anymore
07 - Get Out Alive
Lyrics
"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
Hold on run for your life
If you want to get out alive
Hold on 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
Hold on run for your life
If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Hold on run for your life (Life)
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Hold on run for your life
If I stay it won't be long
Till 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
Hold on for...
If you want to get out alive
Hold on for
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Hold on run for your life
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Hold on for...
If I stay, it won't be long
Till I'm burning on the inside
If I go I can only hope
That I make it to the other side
If I stay, it won't be long
Till I'm burning on the inside
If I go, if I go
Burning on the inside
Burning on the inside
Burning on the inside
06 - Riot
Lyrics
"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, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
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, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
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, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
05 - On My Own
Lyrics
"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
04 - Never Too Late
Lyrics
"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 all 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 all 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
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 all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late (It's never too late)
It's not too late
It's never too late
03 - Animal I Have Become
Lyrics
"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
(This animal, this animal)
I can't escape myself
(I can't escape myself)
So many times i've lied
(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 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
(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)
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 have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal I have become)
02 - Pain
Lyrics
"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
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
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing
Rather feel pain
I know (I know I know I know I know)
That you're wounded
You know (You know you know you know you know)
That I'm here to save you
You know (You know you know you know you know)
I'm always here for you
I know (I know I know I know I know)
That you'll thank me later
Pain, without love
Pain, can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain
01 - It's All Over
Lyrics
"It's All Over"
Your bottles' almost empty
You know this can't go on
Because of you my mind is always racing
The needles' breaking your skin
The scar is sinking in
And now your trip begins but
It's all over for
It's all over for
You
For you
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for you
For you
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over
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
It's all over for
You
For you
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for you
For you
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
It's all over
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
It's all over
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for (You, for you)
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for (You, for you)
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
It's all over
12 - Overrated
Lyrics
"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 to slow
They give us answers
To questions they don’t even know
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
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
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
(Go away, go away, go away, go away)
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
11 - Take Me Under
Lyrics
"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
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
Take me all the way
Push me under
Pull me further
Take me all the way
Take me all the way
Push me under
Pull me further
Take me all the way
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
Take me all the way
Push me under
Pull me further
Take me all the way
Take me all the way
Push me under
Pull me further
Take me all the way
Take me all the way
And I’ve been waiting so long
And I’ve been waiting so long
And I’ve been waiting so long
So I wait for you to
Take me all the way
Push me under
Pull me further
Take me all the way
Take me all the way
Push me under
Pull me further
Take me all the way
Take me all the way
And I’ve been waiting so long
And I’ve been waiting so long
And I’ve been waiting so long
So I wait for you to
Take me all the way
Take me all the way
10 - Wake Up
Lyrics
"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, 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
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
09 - Drown
Lyrics
"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….drown
Good morning day
Sorry you’re not here
All those times before
We’re 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
Drown
Rolling faster than I’m breathing
Drown
Rolling faster than I’m breathing
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
(Save myself before I drown, save myself before I drown, save myself before I drown)
08 - Born Like This
Lyrics
"Born Like This"
It’s not what I took from you
It’s not what I stole
We are born like this
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, someone’s gun is laughing
It’s not what I gave to you
It’s now what I sold
We are born like this
(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
It’s not what I gave to you
It’s now 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
Somewhere someone’s gun, someone’s gun is laughing, laughing
It’s not what I gave to you
It’s now what I sold
We are born like this
(Like this)
It’s not what I gave to you
It’s not what I stole
We are born like this
(Like this)
It’s not what I took from you
It’s not what I stole
We are born like this
07 - Now or Never
Lyrics
"Now Or Never"
In this time are we loving
Or do we sit here wondering
Why this world isn’t turning round
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 now or never to decide
In this time are we loving
Or do we sit here wondering
Why this world isn’t turning round
It’s now or never
In this way are we learning
Or do we sit here yearning
For this world to stop turning round
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 round
It’s now or never
In this way are we learning
Or do we sit here yearning
For this world to stop turning round
It’s now or never
In this time are we loving
Or do we sit here wondering
Why this world isn’t turning round
It’s now or never
In this time are we loving
Or do we sit here wondering
Why this world isn’t turning round
It’s now or never
In this way are we learning
Or do we sit here yearning
For this world to stop turning round
It’s now or never
In this time are we loving,
Wondering
Isn’t turning round
It’s now or never

Waiting for you to finally be one of us

When you finally trust me

05 - Scared
Lyrics
"Scared"
At night I hear it creeping
At night I feel it move
I’ll never sleep here anymore
I wish you 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 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
Its all because of you
I wish you never told me
I wake up screaming now
So real these voices in my head
So real these voices in my head
I wake up screaming now
I wish you never told me
I wish I never knew
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
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
04 - Home
Lyrics
"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
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, 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
Till 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
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a home
I’m better off alone
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
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a home
03 - I Hate Everything About You
Lyrics
"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?
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
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?
I hate
You hate
I hate
You love me
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
02 - Just Like You
Lyrics
"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
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
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
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
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 mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you
01 - Burn
Lyrics
"Burn"
I'll tell you now you can't win this
You're way too slow
I'll tell you now I'm gonna take this
Did you come here to watch me, watch me burn?
[Chorus:]
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
You're way to cold
Now show me how before it breaks me
Did you come here to watch me, watch me burn?
[Chorus]
No, oh
[Chorus]

Waiting For Love
As I sit here looking into the sky,
I think of past memories, I begin to cry.
I wonder if Love is always this way,
Or will it take sadness first, before Love will stay.
Out of my Heart my love does flow,
With so many feelings and all that know.
If it takes sadness before Love will stay,
I guess I'll have to wait for another day.
Take My Hand
Take my hand and walk with me,
For you, all love my heart gives free.
No strings or promise you have to give,
Just give our love a chance to live.
Make all dreams you have come real,
Express all love your heart will feel.
Take my hand, I'll walk with you,
Sharing all days with love so true.
Those loving memories we will keep,
With in our hearts we hold so deep.
All that love we shared through time,
Will be the best our life did find.
Reminiscing
Heavens enchantment of the first evening star,
Repeating sounds of Love, like echoes from afar.
Feelings flow with each beat of your heart,
Love so true from the very first start.
Remember the dreams of enchantment so new,
With essence of life and feelings so true.
Reminiscing those days when love was so clear,
Holding each other with heart beats so near.
Stand by each other in lifetime we know,
With all eternal love embedded in our soul.
In sickness and in health, death do us part,
With all loving memories we shared from the start.
Remember Friend
Remember when, all love we shared,
Loving days and nights of love we cared.
Remember when, all times were fun,
Loving times our hearts were one.
Remember when, we couldn't part,
The tears of love came from the heart.
Remember when, love seem so right,
Embracing love under stars so bright.
Remember when, you said good-bye,
The tears of love, my heart did cry.
Remember friend; a broken heart will seek,
New special love, someday I'll meet.
Missing Love
Feeling love, when love has gone,
Lonely nights, with love filled songs.
An empty heart, where love should be,
Loving memories with dreams to see.
Missing pictures, leaving empty frames,
Love letters, with missing names.
In your heart, missing love brings tears,
A new beginning brings many fears.
From missing love, new life is there,
Memories and dreams, new love you'll share.
Love Will Bring
Make sure in life, your loves the best,
Before starting family and filling nest.
Know your feelings from the start,
Make sure it's love with in your heart.
Make sure those dreams you have come true,
And your love one, loves you too.
So many feelings, love will bring,
From days of tears, to days you sing.
With sharing of love, happiness you'll see,
And the miracle in life, from love there will be.
Love or Friendship
Love or friendship, are they the same,
Two words a like, but different name.
Look upon the past to be,
With-in your future your heart will see.
Was it true love you will find,
Or needed friendship with-in your mind.
If it were love, you still would care,
If only friendship, you still would share.
If you walk away from both, you will see,
An empty heart of loneliness there will be.
I searched with-in my heart to find
Both love and friendship makes life divine.
Love Has A Name
The one who causes falsely pain,
Knows no love that has a name.
True love comes with in ones soul,
From ones heart that love will flow.
Through time the good and bad will be,
From heart and soul that life you'll see.
The good from love you make the best,
The bad will bring, uneasy rest.
Bring forth your life, with love, not pain,
Then you'll find the love that has a name.

Arti Lambang Komunis
1. PALU-SABIT
Lambang palu dan sabit yang menjadi simbol dari komunis memiliki sejarah yang tidak ada hubungannya dengan komunisme. Simbol palu mewakili para buruh dan sabit mewakiti para petani. Setelah revolusi industri di Eropa, kaum buruh dan petani semakin terpinggirkan dan tertindas. Simbol palu dan sabit yang menyilang muncul sebagai bentuk pengkomunikasian bersatunya kaum buruh dan petani dalam revolusi Bolshevik tahun 1917 di Rusia. Di tahun-tahun berikutnya, lambang palu dan sabit menjadi simbol pemberontakan, bahkan sampai sekarang.
Revolusi para pekerja yang tergolong kalangan bawah tersebut mengundang perhatian dunia. Mereka yang menyepelekan kaum pekerja tidak mengira akan kekuatan yang dimiliki oleh persatuan kaum buruh dan petani. Pihak komunis-sosialis, yang sebelumnya menggunakan bendera merah atau sering dikenal dengan tentara merah, memanfaatkan simbol pekerja tersebut sebagai lambang bendera partai komunis. Tahun 1922 penggunaan lambang palu dan sabit menyilang dengan latar belakang merah diresmikan menjadi bendera komunis di seluruh dunia.
Simbol merupakan kode untuk berkomunikasi atau pertukaran informasi dalam interaksi sosial. Dari uraian diatas, simbol muncul dalam bentuk lambang palu dan sabit, berupa artefak bendera, atribut, dan lainnya. Peran Artefak dalam Pertukaran Informasi yaitu:
-Sebagai simbol wilayah kekuasaan & sosial
-Sebagai simbol penguat kesatuan etnik
-Sebagai simbol pemeliharaan dan penguatan jaringan pencarian pasangan hidup
-Sebagai simbol penguatan hubungan antar masyarakat
-Sebagai simbol kedudukan struktural
Pada awalnya, para buruh dan petani menyampaikan eksistensi mereka dalam revolusi melalui simbol palu dan sabit. Simbol ini kemudian menjadi identitas para pekerja kasar sebagai solidaritas, pemersatu dan penguat hubungan antar masyarakat. Apabila revolusi yang dilakukan tidak memunculkan simbol, maka akan sulit untuk menunjukkan keberadaan kaum buruh dan petani di mata dunia, serta sulit untuk menggerakkan kaum pekerja yang lain. Dengan demikian simbol palu dan sabit memiliki arti penting dalam penyampaian pesan revolusi.
Besarnya pengaruh revolusi palu dan sabit mengakibatkan orang mengidentikkan lambang palu dan sabit sebagai simbol pemberontakan. Dalam perkembangannya, simbol palu dan sabit tidak hanya digunakan oleh kaum pekerja tapi juga kaum borjuis (pelajar) saat menolak kebijakan pemerintah. Simbol ini juga digunakan oleh kaum sosialis yang menjunjung tinggi kesetaraan status.
Tahun 1922, tentara merah meresmikan simbol palu dan arit yang menyilang dimasukkan ke dalam lambang bendera partai politiknya. Lambang ini memiliki makna bahwa partai komunis menjunjung tinggi para pekerja kasar. Dari sini diharapkan pendukung partai dapat dihimpun dari para buruh dan petani yang cenderung memiliki massa lebih banyak.
Simbol palu dan sabit berubah fungsi dan makna sesuai dengan perkembangan jaman. Makna yang semula dikomunikasikan melalui simbol palu dan sabit berubah interpretasinya sesuai dengan kondisi jaman dan pengalaman sejarah.
Di Indonesia, sejak peristiwa G 30 S PKI, simbol palu dan sabit menjadi tabu karena diinterpretasikan dengan komunis yang ingin menghancurkan Indonesia dari dalam. Namun setelah lengsernya pemerintahan orde baru, simbol palu dan sabit mulai bermunculan lagi dalam berbagai bentuk dan lambang. Interpretasi orang saat ini bisa beraneka macam terhadap simbol tersebut. Ada yang mengartikan sebagai penganut komunis, penganut sosialis, lambang revolusi, bentuk protes terhadap pemerintahan, dan lainnya. Semua makna tidak salah, kembali ke pengertian simbol yang memiliki banyak arti, dan hanya dipahami oleh manusia, sehingga yang bersangkutan dituntun untuk memahami objek untuk mengetahui makna yang terkandung dalam simbol tersebut.
2. BINTANG MERAH-RED STAR
Bintang merah yang berujung lima adalah lambang komunisme serta sosialisme yang lebih umum. Yang melambangkan kelima jari tangan pekerja, serta kelima benua. Bintang berujung lima dimaksudkan untuk mewakili kelima kelompok sosial yang akan membawa Rusia ke komunisme: kaum muda, militer, industri , buruh petani, dan cendekiawan.
Bintang merah adalah salah satu lambang, simbol, dan tanda yang mewakili Uni Soviet di bawah kekuasaan dan bimbingan Partai Komunis, serta palu dan arit. Juga dipakai sebagai lencana di kamp tawanan Jerman pada saat itu di bawah Hitler dan WWII (perang dunia 2) untuk menandakan komunis.
3. BENDERA MERAH
Bendera merah sering dikombinasi dengan lambang komunis dan nama partai lain. Bendera dipakai di berbagai komunis dan sosialis seperti May Day. Bendera juga biasanya dihubungkan dengan sosialisme.
Bendera merah mempunyai banyak arti di sejarah tetapi terlebih dulu dipakai sebagai sehelai bendera pembangkangan. Bendera merah mendapat arti politik modernnya di Revolusi Perancis 1871. Sesudah Revolusi Oktober, pemerintah Uni Soviet mengambil bendera merah dengan palu dan arit yang dilapiskan keatas sebagai bendera nasionalnya. Karena Revolusi Oktober, berbagai negara bagian sosialis dan pergerakannya sudah memakai bendera merah.
