Make up your mind I don't have time for this shit You're in deep And I'm mad as a hatter Get off my back I have nothing to give You're a joke And your words never mattered The sinner By the river Dancing all night long Beginners No more winners We hear the same old song Make a wish Fly away Pretty witch You're asleep While our world is in tatters Buy a gun Take me out like the bitch That you are There's the door And it's shattered The sinner By the river Dancing all night long Beginners No more winners We hear the same old song The sinner By the river Dancing all night long Beginners No more winners We hear the same old song The sinner By the river Dancing all night long Beginners No more winners We hear the same old song

I think I've caught your disease 'Cuz I'm sick With a virus I'm feelin' weak at the knees And I can't Seem to fight it The fever The heat I've succumbed To bad habits Ill and cold on the street But it's warm In the attic We have a room for tears And our malice The secrets we've hid for years Hearing static We both know the end is near But we'll manage From panic to losing fear Hearing static I know you do what you please That's okay I'm a writer I make up lies I deceive And I thrive In a riot The reaper The streets I will live on this island Let's cover up in the sheets Where it's warm In the attic We have a room for tears And our malice The secrets we've hid for years Hearing static We both know the end is near But we'll manage From panic to losing fear Hearing static We have a room for tears And our malice The secrets we've hid for years Hearing static We both know the end is near But we'll manage From panic to losing fear Hearing static

The Priest 02:00
lyrics

I became a devil I rode in alone I brought a world of trouble To all those I've known I could have run for office And built my empire With the sweat of angels Setting churches on fire The priest speaks of love And our salvation I don't want God Or his son I need a new vocation I became a rebel I fought And I lost I made their lives unstable No matter the cost I could have been a teacher But kids are the same They'll set the world on fire No matter what we say The priest speaks of love And our salvation I don't want God Or his son I need a new vocation The priest speaks of love And our salvation I don't want God Or his son I need a new vocation The priest speaks of love And our salvation I don't want God Or his son I need a new vocation

Highways and postcards Cheap red wine You wanna dance forever And I don't mind Funny how we came here A room with holes There's shaving cream on the mirror Your arms are cold We'll be back in the city Before dawn I know this trip has been shitty It's all wrong We'll be back in the city Before long The neon lights will look pretty So be strong Dark days in Cali Long hard nights Hooker drunk in the alley The moon is bright We hear a shot and then silence But it's all right We aren't afraid of violence But we miss the lights We'll be back in the city Before dawn I know this trip has been shitty It's all wrong We'll be back in the city Before long The neon lights will look pretty So be strong We'll be back in the city Before dawn I know this trip has been shitty It's all wrong We'll be back in the city Before long The neon lights will look pretty So be strong

I made a promise I could not keep I made a profit But I can't sleep I confide in you For once I tell the truth It's all brand new And yet here we are I confide in you For once I tell the truth We may be through But we've come this far I dream I follow A girl To the sea And there We're swallowed By sand on the beach I confide in you For once I tell the truth It's all brand new And yet here we are I confide in you For once I tell the truth We may be through But we've come this far I confide in you For once I tell the truth I will be with you Until we reach the stars

We Were Free 02:26

What have I done I can't believe my eyes The night has come And there ain't a soul in sight If I should run Will my past Catch up with me I'm not afraid But I'm sorry we can't be Together Like we once were You and me Forever Remember When we were free Together Like we once were You and me Forever Remember When we were free What have you done I can't forgive you now The sun shall rise When we're ready for the light Wishing we could run But our legs are paralyzed The night is young And stars are out tonight Together Like we once were You and me Forever Remember When we were free Together Like we once were You and me Forever Remember When we were free Together Like we once were You and me Forever Remember When we were free

Dead to the world I hide in my shell And wait for the tide To pull me in Love is an echo I listen It's hollow There's more than just sorrow I'm a child again I won't let go of this dream I'll hold on As long as I can I won't let go of this dream I'll hold on As long as I can Be my girl And I'll be your man The lonely go crazy I hope you don't hate me I want to be yours I love you so Your voice on a record I'd listen forever We'll be together And I'll stay close I won't let go of this dream I'll hold on As long as I can I won't let go of this dream I'll hold on As long as I can I won't let go of this dream I'll hold on As long as I can Be my girl And I'll be your man I'll be here if you need a friend

Confession 02:12
lyrics

Time is of the essence The court is now is session God will hear your confession All your lies Transgressions You start by giving clues And then you sing the blues He wants to hear the truth In the end you still refuse We can talk whenever 'Cuz I can lie forever I don't a need reason I have stopped believing In a God who judges me Who refuses to let me be A Lord who doesn't see On earth we can't be free Real life The circus He knows what hurts us He'll teach me a lesson God asks more questions You start by giving clues And then you sing the blues He wants to hear the truth In the end you still refuse God keeps judging me Refusing to let me be Our Lord Too blind to see On earth we can't be free You start with something new He's looking straight at you You want to tell the truth In the end you still refuse

We're goin' out like a band of raiders Keepin' hell nice and hot for traitors Bashing skulls of trolls and haters We never sold our souls to strangers We rise above It's heaven sent We'll bring the pain We live inside our caves But we will come out in the rain We're gonna fake our death Believe it Put us to the test We'll beat it Inside the fires of hell You'll see it The devil waits for you The demon We rise above It's heaven sent We'll bring the pain We live inside our caves But we will come out in the rain We rise above It's heaven sent We'll bring the pain We live inside our caves But we will come out in the rain We're beasts We love But have no friends We are insane Bears inside our caves But we will come out in the rain

Knee deep in the sea The sky And the trees We drift with the tide The birds that we see Shells under our feet The sun keeps us dry I wanna hold you tonight Make love on the beach With the moon in your eyes I wanna touch you tonight We can be free Everything is alright We'll go for a walk And have a nice talk We'll dream without fear See the fish How they jump Let's drink And then run The water is clear I wanna hold you tonight Make love on the beach With the moon in your eyes I wanna touch you tonight We can be free Everything is alright I feel so relaxed The wind at our backs On the deck we see stars Full moon out tonight We missed it this time But there's love in our heart I wanna hold you tonight Make love on the beach With the moon in your eyes I wanna touch you tonight We can be free Everything is alright I wanna hold you tonight Make love on the beach With the moon in your eyes I wanna touch you tonight We can be free Everything is alright
