Black Masks And Gasoline Simply because you can breathe,
Doesn't mean you're alive,
Or that you really live.
This life has taken it's toll
And she just doesn't know,
How much more she can give
But here,
At the top of the world,
Where I raise my hands
And I clench my fists,
They stand
Before me below,
Demanding the answers
With flips of a switch
I don't understand where you got this idea,
So deeply ingrained in your head
(That this world)
Something that you must impress,
Cause I couldn't care less
A need
For revolution rising,
It comes to the surface,
Gasping for air,
We're not
Putting up with this planet
One more day
Much less one more year
I don't understand where you got this idea,
So deeply ingrained in your head
(That this world)
Something that you must impress,
Cause I couldn't care less
So here
And now,
In our rotting nation
The blood,
It pours,
It's all on our hands now
We live,
In fear,
Of our own potential
To win,
To lose,
It's all on our hands now
And I have
An American Dream,
But it involves black masks
And gasoline,
One day I'll turn these thoughts
Into screams,
At a world that turned its back
Down on me
I don't understand where you got this idea,
So deeply ingrained in your head
(that this world)
Something that you must impress,
Cause I couldn't care less

Everchanging
In the face,
Of change,
That's when she turned to me and said,
"I'm not sure anymore".
And there,
Amidst the waves,
And the cloudless skies,
That blanket the years before.
I watch my life wash ashore...
Have you ever been a part of something,
That you thought would never end?
And then of course it did.
Have you ever felt the weight inside you,
Pulling away inside your skin?
And then something had to give.
And now the lines are drawn
Is this feeling gone?
The best parts of this, have come and gone.
And now that
Is all this is
And with the reasons clear
We'll spend another year.
Without direction full of fear.
And now things,
Will be different.
There's nothing simple when it comes to you and I.
Always something in this everchanging life,
And there probably always will.
Now that time is getting harder to come by,
Same arguments are always on our minds.
Killed this slowly fading light.
And now the lines are drawn
Is this feeling gone?
The best parts of this, have come and gone.
And now that
Is all this is.
With the reasons clear,
We'll spend another year.
Without direction full of fear.
But now things,
Will be different.
And now something.
Has kept me here too long,
And you can't leave me
If i'm already gone.
Well now something
(Hey)
Has kept me here too long,
And you can't leave me
(Hey)
If i'm already gone.
Now let's say that something
(Hey)
Has kept me here too long,
And you can't leave me,
(Hey)
If i'm already gone.
Make the same mistakes
We're always hanging on.
Break the promises
We're always leaning on.
All this time
Spent waking up.
Keep this line open
To get this call from you.
Speak the words that keep,
Me coming back to you.
Now this time,
It's all different.
Now something, has kept me here too long and now i'm gone...

Prayer of the Refugee
Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I'll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew.
Before we packed our bags and left all this
Behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home
And a life no one could touch.
Don't hold me up, now,
I can stand my own ground.
I don't need your help, now,
You will let me down, down, down.
Don't hold me up, now,
I can stand my own ground.
I don't need your help, now,
You will let me down, down, down, down...
We are the angry and the desperate,
The hungry and the cold.
We are the ones who kept quiet,
And always did what we were told.
But we've been sweating while you slept so calm
In the safety of your home.
We've been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything you've known.
Don't hold me up, now,
I can stand my own ground.
I don't need your help, now,
You will let me down, down, down.
Don't hold me up, now,
I can stand my own ground.
I don't need your help, now,
You will let me down, down, down, down...
So open your eyes, child,
Let's be on our way.
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way.
Keep quiet no longer,
We'll sing through the day
Of the lives that we've lost,
And the lives we've reclaimed.
Don't hold me up, now,
I can stand my own ground.
I don't need your help, now,
You will let me down, down, down.
Don't hold me up, now,
I can stand my own ground.
I don't need your help, now,
You will let me down, down, down.
Don't hold me up.
(I don't need your help, I'll stand my ground.)
Don't hold me up.
(I don't need your help.)
No, no, no, don't hold me up.
(I don't need your help, I'll stand my ground.)
Don't let me down, down, down, down, down...

Savior
It kills me not to know this,
But I've all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes were,
And her scars or how she got them.
As the telling signs of age rains down,
A single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face
That this world has forgotten.
There is no reconciliation
That will put me in my place,
And there is no time like the present
To drink these draining seconds.
But seldom do these words ring true,
And I'm constantly failing you.
Walls that we just can't break through
Until we disappear.
So tell me now:
If this ain't love, then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know.
That's when she said, "I don't hate you, boy,
I just wanna save you
While there's still something left to save."
That's when I told her, "I love you, girl,
But I'm not the answer for
The questions that you still have."
Whoa, whoa.
And the day pressed on like crushing weights.
For no man does it ever wait,
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes.
Bathed in flames, we held the brand.
Uncurl the fingers in your hand,
Pressed into the flesh like sand,
Now do you understand?
So tell me now:
If this ain't love, then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know.
That's when she said, "I don't hate you, boy,
I just wanna save you
While there's still something left to save."
That's when I told her, "I love you, girl,
But I'm not the answer for
The questions that you still have."
Whoa, whoa.
One thousand miles away,
There's nothing left to say.
There's so much left,
And I don't know.
We never had a choice,
This world is too much noise.
It takes me under,
It takes me under once again.
I don't hate you.
I don't hate you, no.
So tell me now:
If this ain't love, then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know.
That's when she said, "I don't hate you, boy,
I just wanna save you
While there's still something left to save."
That's when I told her, "I love you, girl,
But I'm not the answer for
The questions that you still have."
Whoa, I don't hate you.
I don't hate you.
Whoa, I don't hate you.
I don't hate you, no.
Whoa, whoa.

Injection
Do you spend your days counting the hours you're awake?
And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same
There's a burden you've been bearing
In spite of all your prayers
There's a light turned off inside your heart
Can you remember what it's like to care?
Knees are weak,
Hands are shaking,
I can't breathe
So give me the drug,
Keep me alive
Give me what's left of my life
Don't let me go,
Whoa oh oh oh
Pull this plug,
Let me breathe
On my own I'm finally free
Don't let me go,
Whoa oh oh oh
The trail of crumbs you left somehow got lost along the way
If you never meant to leave
Then you only had to stay
But the memories that haunt us
Are cherished just the same
As the ones that bring us closer to the sky,
No matter how grey
Yet I fall,
Through these clouds,
Reaching, screaming
Give me the drug,
Keep me alive
Give me what's left of my life
Don't let me go,
Whoa oh oh oh
Pull this plug,
Let me breathe
On my own, I'm finally free
Don't let me go,
Whoa oh oh oh
This grip loosens but it never breaks
(NEVER BREAKS!)
We carry nothing but a name you will forsake
Your words are always there to break my fall
(BREAK MY FALL!)
In them I find the comfort
To see through it all
Guide me
Through uncharted waters
Before we
Lose our way again
Will you
Be my compass
Until forever?
Until forever ends!?
Knees are weak,
Hands are shaking,
I can't breathe
So give me the drug,
Keep me alive
Give me what's left of my life
Don't let me go,
Whoa oh oh oh
Pull this plug,
Let me breathe
On my own, I'm finally free
Don't let me go,
Whoa oh oh oh
Don't let me go, Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Don't let me go, Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

My Life Inside Your Heart
Fight back the impulse, turn my head, and close my eyes
Spending these nights awake and cold and paralyzed
Wonder how we got this far and never realized
The common thread that binds our lives
And I know you hurt
But I can help you if you can...
Take my hand
And we'll live inside the dreams we left behind
Take my hand
As we move from this place to a better life
Take my hand
Whoa...
If you take my hand
Fight back the feeling that you always could deny
Leave behind everything we know is just a lie
As I cremate this memory and watch the darkened ashes rise
And beneath the smoke I'll stand
And ask you if you can...
Take my hand
And I'll promise not to ever let it go
Take my hand
'Cause this hope is greater than you'll ever know
(Take my hand)
And this is all I'll ever ask of you to show
Fight back the urge and turn my head and close my eyes
But will I wake tomorrow still alive?
I'm still dreaming
I'm still waiting
I'm still sure
(I'm still sure)
And you're still living in a life
That isn't yours
(That isn't yours)
And this is part of me
I hope you never see
This is my life inside your heart
Take my hand
And I'll promise not to ever let it go
Take my hand
'Cause this hope is greater than you'll ever know
(Take my hand)
And this is all I'll ever ask of you to show

Little Boxes
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
They're all made out of ticky-tacky,
And they all look just the same.
And the people in houses
All went to the university,
where they were put in boxes,
And they all came out the same.
There's doctors and lawyers
And business executives,
They're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf-course,
And drink their Martini dry,
And they all have pretty children,
And the children go to school.
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
They all get put in boxes
And they all come out the same.
And the boys go into business,
They marry, raise a family,
And they all get put in boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
Yeah a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

Behind Closed Doors Chairs thrown and tables toppled, Hands armed with broken bottles, Standing no chance to win but, We're not runnin', We're not runnin'. There's a point I think we're missing, It's in the air we raise our fists in, In the smiles we cast each other, My sister, my brother, About the time we gave up hoping, We never find these locks still open, Stumbling on stones unturned, The hurt we feel, we all have earned, The lines we cross in search of change, But all they see is treason, Although we have no obligation to stay alive, On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive, Breakout, I won't be left here, Behind closed doors, Bonfires burn like beacons, Guiding the lost and weakened, Flames dance on crashing waves, Guiding ships who've gone astray, Time out, let's stop to think this through, We've all got better things to do, Than talk in circles, run in place, Answers inches from our face, Although we have no obligation to stay alive, On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive, Breakout! I won't be left here, Behind closed doors, Black eyes, broken fingers, Blood drips and I let it run, Down my lips into my swollen gums, When hope is nonexistent, Our instincts all scream "Run!" We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues, Although we have no obligation to stay alive, On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive, Breakout, I won't be left here, Behind closed doors, (Behind closed doors) Although we have no obligation to stay alive, On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive, Breakout, I won't be left here, Behind closed doors.

i cant belive no one put this song The Good Left Undone lyrics
In fields where nothing grew but weeds,
I found a flower at my feet,
bending there in my direction.
I wrapped a hand around its stem
and pulled until the roots gave in,
finding there what I've been missing.
And I know....
So I tell myself, I tell myself, it's wrong.
There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm...
All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long.
When I do I dream
of drowning in the ocean;
longing for the shore
where I can lay my head down.
I'll follow your voice;
all you have to do is
shout it out!
Inside my hands these petals browned;
dried up falling to the ground,
but it was already too late now.
I pushed my fingers through the earth,
returned this flower to the dirt;
so it could live, I walked away now.
But I know...
Not a day goes by when I don't feel this burn.
There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm...
All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long.
When I do I dream
of drowning in the ocean;
longing for the shore
where I can lay my head down.
I'll follow your voice;
all you have to do is
shout it out!
All because of you.
All because of you.
All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long.
When I do I dream
of drowning in the ocean;
longing for the shore
where I can lay my head down.
Inside these arms of yours.
All because of you
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
no, not the kind with halos;
the kind that bring you home
when love becomes a strange place.
I'll follow your voice;
all you have to do is
shout it out!

Audience Of One
I can still remember
The words and what they meant
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement
The days blurred into each other
Though everything seemed clear
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears
We ran like vampires from a thousand burning sons
But even then we should have stayed
But we ran away
Now all my friends gone
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from ?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone ?
Identities assume us
As nine and five add up
Synchronizing watches
To the seconds that we lost
I looked up and saw you
I know that you saw me
We froze but for a moment
In empathy
I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
You gave my emptiness away
But you ranaway
Now all my friends gone
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from ?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone ?
We’re all ok, until the day we’re not
The surface shines, while the inside rots
We raced the sunset and we almost won
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on
We ran away
Now all my friends gone
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from ?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone ?

Re-Education ( Through Labor ) LyricsMusic Video >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHv_1Jct9NA&feature=channel_pageTo the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines
We toss and turn but don’t sleep
Each breath we take makes us thieves
Like causes without rebels
Just talk but promise nothing else
We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
The sometimes dreams just don’t come true
We wait to reap what we are due
To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away
And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
Chased down like dogs we run from
Your grasp until the sun comes up
We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
The sometimes dreams just don’t come true
Look now at what they’ve done to you
White needles buried in the red
The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies
Cuz we don’t live
We just survive
On the scraps that you throw away
I won’t crawl on my knees for you
I won’t believe the lies that hide the truth
I won’t sweat one more drop for you
Cuz we are the rust upon your gears
We are the insects in your ears
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl … all over you!
We sow the seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due
A judge’s sky no longer blue
We bring the dawn all over new
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl … all over you!
