"Demons" I've been thinking lots about my life and How quick I'd wash it down the drain Past tense the future, nothing matters now I act on my own and I'm to blame Live in a wicked dream, with angst turned out all wrong Were all so weak, no matter how strong, yeah (chorus) I tried running away from me Convince me that I've grown, but I can't She's so unnaturally, Demons they follow me I quit running away from me Convinced that I have grown, but found out All my reasons for obscenity, all a part of me I don't like that you're calling me a liar I don't like that you found out I'm a snake Been sneaking around for far too long now I don't like how fast my intentions fade Karma has beat me down, but the worst is yet to come Many mistakes and still I'm so young, yeah (chorus) I tried running away from me Convince me that I've grown, but I can't She's so unnaturally, Demons they follow me I quit running away from me Convinced that I have grown, but found out All my reasons for obscenity, all a part of me I can't Count how many times Awakened in fear, nightly I'm sweating Dreams Where promises are made To no one but myself Help him Crushed daily Don't lend me your hand I can't trust my self So how can you trust me We've all made selfish, bad decisions We've all tried dishing out the blame Convinced our selves of our own actions My problem is I'll never change In doubt, some good comes out I'll fold before its time Can't promise you that its my last time, yeah (chorus) I tried running away from me Convince me that I've grown, but I can't She's so unnaturally, Demons they follow me I quit running away from me Convinced that I have grown, but found out All my reasons for obscenity, all a part of me Truth won't help you now All the loves gone too far Truth won't help you now All the loves gone too far I'm scarred, yeah Demons they follow me, 'cause my insanity I'm scarred, yeah Demons they follow me, 'cause my insanity I'm scarred, yeah Demons they follow me, 'cause my insanity I'm scarred, yeah Demons they follow me, 'cause my insanity "Girl I Know" Let me tell ya 'bout this girl I know That comes alive when you take off her clothes Theres no tell just where shes been Ask around but no one seems to know Late at night when your looking to sin Call her up and she'll lay down the law You can't trust her 'cause she'll lie to your face But thats not why you gave her a call Awaits deep inside The lust and burning desire We've all been more than eager to sin And it feels alright, 'till we pay the price Now you choose either naughty or nice 'Cause shes here for you Its all yours tonight You won't believe the stories I've been told About the girl I know Another thing about this girl I know Shes more comfortable down on her knees Went to school, got a job, and then she shot into hell All 'cause shes born to please Don't get her mixed up 'cause she knows what she likes Can't tell the difference between right and wrong She knows you're watching every one of her moves Just more reason to string you along, yeah Awaits deep inside The lust and burning desire We've all been more than eager to sin And it feels alright, 'till we pay the price Now you choose either naughty or nice 'Cause shes here for you Its all yours tonight You won't believe the stories I've been told About the girl I know The first times hard enough But you made it through The seconds time I see the changes in you Shes got you somehow You're needing her now We've all been more than eager to sin And it feels alright, 'till we pay the price Now you choose either naughty or nice 'Cause shes here for you Its all yours tonight You won't believe the stories I've been told About the girl I know "Crossroads" I've been traveling for so long So lost til I stumbled upon Two roads in front of me I had to take my time To the right I could see a church I took a step in that direction first But to the left there was a watering hole Where they were whiskey drunk Now that's where I wanna be I fly to the edges of it all If I was perfect Than this would be easy Even though it's plausible I know I can drown I walk through city With no rules to guide me I realize it's difficult But now I can see There's gotta be another way to go A way that's much more feasible I got my nation of all these lives Ill set your path without choosing a side I make decisions one at a time And no I never say I'm always right I'm confident that when I stand on my own You'll see the truest form of a man What I'm trying to prove I fly to the edges of it all If I was perfect Than this would be easy Even though it's plausible I know I can drown I walk through city With no rules to guide me I realize it's difficult But now I can see Oh, I hear them now All the religious rage (Anger I see) (Anger I see) (Anger I see now) The left isn't better It's just more of the same Condemning all these people For what they believe I climb to the top of their mountain again know how hard it sounds To see me this way And the closer to the top I get The more they can gain But im not you I may not be perfect But ive always been true I may not be worthy In your eyes Climbed up from the bottom For the last time The last one the last one The last time If I was perfect Than this would be easy Even though it's plausible I know I can drown I walk through city With no rules to guide me I realize it's difficult But now I can see "Flash Of The Blade" As a young boy Chasing dragons With your wooden sword So mighty You're St. George Or you're David And you always Killed the beast Times change very quickly And you had To grow up early A house in smoking ruins And the bodies At your feet You'll die as you lived In the flash of a blade In a corner forgotten By no-one You lived for the touch For the feel of the steel One man and his honour The smell Of resined leather The steely iron mask As you cut and thrust And parried at the Fencing master's call He taught you All he never knew To fear no mortal man And now you'll wreak Your vengeance In the screams Of evil men You'll die as you lived In the flash of a blade In a corner forgotten By no-one You lived for the touch For the feel of the steel One man and his honour You'll die as you lived In the flash of a blade In a corner forgotten By no-one You lived for the touch For the feel of the steel One man and his honour "Until the End" Weekends on young and angry streets We meet, drink 'till trouble found us there Living life as without a care We've had our bouts, been black and blue Its true, I've even gone to jail for you my friend Bet your life that I'd do it again (Until the End) Don't change the way you think of me We're from the same story Life moves on, can't stay the same But some of us, some worry While some have gone their separate ways Theres some still caught up with the past instead But move on, you're missing most of your life They say its hard to stay the same When some fail, while other men seem to gain, my friend I'll be with you here until the end (Until the End) Don't change the way you think of me We're from the same story Life moves on, can't stay the same But some of us, some worry We're all falling forward With no signs of slow And some moving faster Thats all that I wanted I wanted You know its hard Its passing by Memories Be out all night To reminisce wont bring you back Just look ahead and hold on tight We're all falling forward With no signs of slow And some moving faster Thats all that I wanted I wanted Don't change the way you think of me Oh yeah Oh yeah Until the end Until the end Until the end "Tension" I wake up bright and early every morning Roll out of bed but I'm never quite alone Tension is pulling me in all directions And I'll be done once you use me as a rope Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy At any time I could explode I need some piece of mind, its got me tired Don't wanna lose it, but I'm turning down that road I need a moment 'cause I've dragged myself to thin We all need a moment in our lives Works hard, the days too long And thats just where it begins Tension has had us all this time I sit in traffic every single morning Just as I arrive, I'm slaving to the grind Making the money so I feed my family But I can't raise them, 'cause I ain't got the time I got no free days on my busy schedule I turn the page and its the same Don't like my situation, you don't either Don't wanna look back scared, I will get away I need a moment 'cause I've dragged myself to thin We all need a moment in our lives Works hard, the days too long And thats just where it begins Tension has had us all this time But every now and then I drive alone And over all Hot summer days A gentle breeze that feels alright Home alone And I can't feel the pain Only strain Enjoy the sights I feel alive When actually here just feels alright Far from home I need a moment 'cause I've dragged myself to thin We all need a moment in our lives Works hard, the days too long And thats just where it begins Tension has had us all this time "Walk (Pantera Cover)" Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence One step from lashing out at you... You want in to get under my skin And call yourself a friend I've got more friends like you What do I do? [Pre] Is there no standard anymore? What it takes, who I am, where I've been Belong You can't be something you're not Be yourself, by yourself Stay away from me A lesson learned in life Known from the dawn of time [Chorus] Respect, walk Run your mouth when I'm not around It's easy to achieve You cry to weak friends that sympathize Can you hear the violins playing your song? Those same friends tell me your every word [Pre] [Chorus] Are you talking to me? No way punk "The Fight" The problem with society's been how do we teach And if they'll believe. We'll fight this battle for years to come Until we only accept that we can stand on our own. Rip off the youth, hands empty, worked them too the bone Provide his family with a happy home, alone. Don't take your oppression out on me. My old man is all I'm meant to be. This common place is so lazy or tired All your ideas are so plainly uninspired. Takes more than one idea More than one percent to fight the fight How many times have you taught and not conspired? Don't wanna be, they never say But don't call us the liars (guitar solo) We've walked these alleys a thousand times And scattered around a thousand lies. They are trying to hold you till your night may be hard but keep your feet on the ground. Why don't I have the finest things that others have? The chance is there if you want it all that bad. So bad. Don't take your oppression out on me. My old man is all I'm meant to be. This common place is so lazy or tired All your ideas are so plainly uninspired. Takes more than one idea More than one percent to fight the fight How many times have you taught and not conspired? Don't try and get me confused. Cause I do understand. And sometimes people need help. That they may need a- And when this problems going on. A thing you have to get straight Is that you don't own my hand. And I don't owe you a thing. So don't think about how sorry You feel when now your treated so bad. This common place is so lazy or tired All your ideas are so plainly uninspired. Takes more than one idea More than one percent to fight the fight How many times have you taught and not conspired And as a race we look back and we've come so far. While some thing that others have had it so hard But in this day we just complain while there's no room for us to fight. I guess we're born in this its how we keep our side to hide. ((There's several parts where it's hard to understand Matt. Like REALLY hard. This is the best I can do.)) "Dancing Dead" Dead men, They celebrate As the final chapter Fades away Cuz they can't hide; We can see their flesh is rotten! The band plays a hopeful tune The champagne is poured As they socialize The look in their eyes Hide in the light! Everything is paid for tonight While at the party of the Dead dancin in their graves The drinks here are free So relax Enjoy the sight of all the Dead dancin in their graves And while the world that they built Told 'em to change Told 'em to listen They just kept it the same And now that midnight has come I'll get a room watchin the Dead dancin in their graves Bones covered up by suit As the visible scars, They multiply Kiss it good-bye Too stubborn and I'll destroy! Tick, tock The time bomb has been Recognized and pressurized Nowhere to hide Swallowing light! Everything is paid for tonight While at the party of the Dead dancin in their graves The drinks here are free So relax Enjoy the sight of all the Dead dancin in their graves And while the world that they built Told 'em to change Told 'em to listen They just kept it the same And now that midnight has come I'll get a room watchin the Dead dancin in their graves Feel a coming strength And now it's too late To chay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay-eeayeeayeeayeeayeeayeeayeeayee {background chatter} Everything is paid for tonight While at the party of the Dead dancin in their graves The drinks here are free So relax Enjoy the sight of all the Dead dancin in their graves And while the world that they built Told 'em to change Told 'em to listen They just kept it the same And now that midnight has come I'll get a room watchin the Dead dancin in their graves
