Between the two of us we've got our share of maladies They say that love is blind but that is just a fallacy We're workin' overtime on coping with reality Make up your own damn mind And stay the fuck away from me I'm not coming home There's a light In the hotel room There's a voice It's a girl you knew It's the song Through the night We are one There are wars And the misspent youth In the calm And the sky so blue We were lost In a dream Realized We've been to hell and back And something has come over me My busted lip And you've got shrapnel in your ovaries I'm talkin' crazy 'cuz a wave of guilt washed over me Please be reasonable I suffer from your love disease I'm not coming home There's a light In the hotel room There's a voice It's a girl you knew It's the song Through the night We are one There are wars And the misspent youth In the calm And the sky so blue We were lost In a dream Realized

Curse 02:20

Words can't express The regret that I feel You can't expect To forget What's revealed Now you see me For the man that I am So, don't come near me Try and please understand We can never go back To the way things were We can never go back That would make things worse We can never go back 'Cuz I'm the one who's cursed Give it up Leave me now And get out Your tears are warm Red light on your face I hear the sound Of a voice in the shade You're better off With a man who can laugh I've always been A mistake from your past We can never go back To the way things were We can never go back That would make things worse We can never go back 'Cuz I'm the one who's cursed Give it up Leave me now And get out Give it up Leave me now And get out Give it up Leave me now And get out

Dirt on her feet She's got nowhere to sleep tonight I offer warm food Two drinks And a room for the night The blankets and sheets are all clean Here's the switch for the light I'll be right next door if you need me And you will I'm not that desperate she says Don't push your luck for a fuck I made it this far I survived Without you I'm not that desperate she says Don't push your luck for a fuck I made it this far I've got plans Without you You're just a guy in a bar You're an open book You expect me to spread my legs After just one look Are you out of your mind? Get a grip I don't type or cook I'll never be your squeeze So, get off me Be still I'm not that desperate she says Don't push your luck for a fuck I made it this far I survived Without you I'm not that desperate she says Don't push your luck for a fuck I made it this far I've got plans Without you

Monuments 03:55

We are the conquerors The demon banshee An American army The hole where punks sleep Reliving childhood We fight for freedom The beast within us Hides where they can't see him It's breaking my heart Things fall apart But we play We're lost in the dark But we will survive anyway Our path is righteous We know we'll beat them 'Cuz we're the heroes Ruling this plantation We have to rise up Before they hear us We yell and scream out That there's no Jesus It's breaking my heart Things fall apart But we play We're lost in the dark But we will survive anyway It's breaking my heart Things fall apart But we play We're lost in the dark But we will survive anyway

Where I've been Well, that's my business Where I'm goin' What do you care? I have strayed away from Jesus My faith dissolved into the air I wanted life to be worth living I wanted love For you the same I will never be forgiven The past is future once again I'm gonna walk Better run And don't stop until you get there I'm gonna walk Better run And don't stop until you get there Where I've been Well, that's my secret What I've seen Could fill a book I made a pact with our friend Satan 'Cuz he knows I am a crook My life has never had much meaning Don't worry I'm not feeling sad There's nothing left here worth believing I'm way past hope Stark raving mad I'm gonna walk Better run And don't stop until you get there I'm gonna walk Better run And don't stop until you get there Where I've been The people see me And they run across the street 'Cuz where I'm from they know the evil That I hide under my sleeve I will raid the angel's steeple And they will know my name is death I'm the terror in the evening A lie you never will forget I'm gonna walk Better run And don't stop until you get there I'm gonna walk Better run And don't stop until you get there I'm gonna walk Better run And don't stop until you get there I'm gonna walk Better run And don't stop until you get there

The worse things get I learn new tricks I won't forget I'll never quit Have you looked inside me lately Have you seen my stare Filled with poison and hate Can you break me Would you even dare Have you looked inside me lately Have you seen my stare Filled with poison and hate Can you break me Would you even dare My father he would never do The things I've done But in time these pictures with my face Will reveal his son Have you looked inside me lately Have you seen my stare Filled with poison and hate Can you break me Would you even dare Have you looked inside me lately Have you seen my stare Filled with poison and hate Can you break me Would you even dare

I'm going out for a bit And I will take my time I've had enough of your shit I'm sick of hearing your lies I'm losing my patience This could all collapse And just for your information You are not built to last And there's no denying that The damage is done I'm takin' the high road And where I'm goin' there's no return address I want to say goodbye Make it quick Here's the kiss off Go fuck yourself And no regrets You thought that I gave a damn Well, ain't life a bitch I guess you don't understand "Let's call it quits" I'm losing my patience This could all collapse And just for your information You are not built to last And there's no denying that The damage is done I'm takin' the high road And where I'm goin' there's no return address I want to say goodbye Make it quick Here's the kiss off Go fuck yourself And no regrets The damage is done I'm takin' the high road And where I'm goin' there's no return address I want to say goodbye Make it quick Here's the kiss off Go fuck yourself And no regrets
