To sacrifice oneself never made sense to me 'cause life is really the only and last gift we've all received Some men waste it in the name of something that you can't see Continually defeats the purpose of that something creating Oh, delusions Aren't meant to justify, justify the things you do Oh, delusions Never really qualified, qualified as an excuse As he approached the city center with the skyline in view There was nothing left to contemplate, he knew he must follow through With the plan certified by faith and the plan written in death At that moment this was it, he took his last breath Oh, delusions Aren't meant to justify, justify the things you do Oh, delusions Never really qualified, qualified as an excuse No more hiding, no more hiding, no more blame No more fighting, no more fighting, no more pain And no more chaos, no more chaos, no more stress And no more addiction, no more addiction, no more mess And no more attitudes, no more swollen heads No more greed, no more feeding from the hand No more whining, no more blame it on the man Realize it's your own fault

I'll never leave this place No, I'll never leave this place I'll never leave the place where I was born Because beyond these town limits Even though I've never seen 'em There's really nothing else to explore There's nothing more, there's nothing more There's nothing more Where is your intrigue and interest You don't have any questions or wonder Why would I leave this place when I'm comfortable right here? Everything I need and more isn't far, it's near I'll never leave this place No, I'll never leave this place I'll never leave the place where I was born Because beyond these town limits Even though I've never seen 'em There's really nothing else to explore There's nothing more, there's nothing more You have created a falsehood A focused, yet close-minded view There's no telling where we'll be at this same time next year But I do know one thing, it won't be far from here I'll never leave this place No, I'll never leave this place I'll never leave the place where I was born Because beyond these town limits Even though I've never seen 'em There's really nothing else to explore There's nothing more, there's nothing more There's nothing more There's nothing more

Pessimistic, yes, it may seem But if you'd been there, you'd know what I mean A struggle and suffering that won't go away It won't go away It won't go away It won't go away

Was put in a round room and told to sit in the corner While they washed my brain with a dirty rag Was given a hammer and told to build a fortress With walls impossible to penetrate You're the only thing I need And you've become the only thing that keeps me breathing Without you I'd be In a dark place with no light switch An open wound without a stitch Maybe now you will understand No matter how stable your foundation may seem Everything is crashing down on me With paper cuts on finger tips Blackened eyes and broken lips Forever wounded it's hard to tell You're the only thing I need Whether I fail or succeed Within my blindness, you're all I see The morning fog, sun burns away A predator's eye without its prey Maybe now you will understand I won't quit on you No, I won't quit on you I won't let it end Ever Ever Ever Ever

Wait for me You're onto something Maybe there's no need To play catch up, to play catch up Wait for me You're onto something Maybe there's no need To play catch up, to play catch up You're casually Casually walking through life without a worry Worried its effects will show So now I'm gathering Gathering the pebbles I need to drink from the well So thirsty, so thirsty Wait for me Well, I am not very far behind So wait for me I'm still chasing you Wait for me Well, I am not very far behind So wait for me While I play catch up, play catch up But thankfully Thankfully I haven't been taken very seriously Seriously anxious to run the course without stumbling Stumbling over fences Now I'm falling Falling down the hillside It's way too steep It's way too steep Wait for me Well, I am not very far behind So wait for me I'm still chasing you Wait for me Well, I am not very far behind So wait for me I'm still chasing you I happened to take a chance Now there's no turning back Return to childhood dreams They're rusted figurines I've been through life fast Riding over broken glass There is no question now That I will catch up, will catch up Will catch up, will catch up Will catch up, will catch up Will catch up, will catch up Will catch up, will catch up Will catch up, will catch up Will catch up, will catch up Will catch up, will catch up Will catch up, will catch up Will catch up, will catch up Will catch up, will catch up

You're suffering, I feel your pain Allow me to be your sponge 'cause I can absorb your sorrows, I'm the one Fire may rain down on you, but I'll be your water Waves may crash on you, but I'll be your land 'cause I want to give you just a temporary bliss Just a little bit Just a little bit A little more information To add to my confusion To add to the frustration I don't need it So shed your pain Well, I'll sit in silence As you bleed your deepest feelings here (feelings here) Quakes may rattle you, but I'll be your sky (sky) Winds may twist around you, but I'll be your clouds Just a little bit Just a little bit A little more information To add to my confusion To add to the frustration I don't need it No, I don't need it He woke up next to her, his head against her head His hand upon her breast, he knew today meant death He kissed her on the cheek, and then on her lips Thought to himself: "It's the last time I'll do this" Put on a suit, pressed and clean Then brushed his hair, grabbed his keys Then he headed out to the morning air With an anticipation no man could bear The air was heavy, he could feel it in his lungs With every step he took, a prayer rolled off his tongue They were prayers of forgiveness And prayers of praise And his actions a gift for a god without a name Just a little bit Just a little bit A little more information To add to my confusion To add to the frustration I don't need it No, I don't need it

It makes me wish I was a banger I'd come and retaliate I tend to avoid impulsive gangster attitudes 'cause they will blind you It's gonna eat you up It's gonna drag you down Gonna get all that you ask for Affected many lives Left a void so wide Gonna get all that you want Looking for a saviour Not one who saves Been looking for a saviour One to retaliate There's no need for forgiveness It's already said and done But don't let revenge consume and take hold of you 'cause it will blind you It's gonna eat him up It's gonna drag him down He's gonna get all that he asked for Affected many lives Left a void so wide Gonna get all that he wants Looking for a saviour Not one who saves Been looking for a saviour One to retaliate Open up Open up Open up Open up You affected many lives You left a void so wide Gonna get all that you ask for It's gonna eat you up It's gonna drag you down You're gonna get all that you want Looking for a saviour Not one who saves Been looking for a saviour One to retaliate You've sworn to retaliate One to retaliate Open up Open up Open up Open up

Well, I've been absorbing mediocrity Been hollowed by uncertainty I've taken all of my beliefs and given 'em up 'cause there's no guarantee of a god or longevity Admit you don't know anything and give it up Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn Lived a past life Suffered in another time I don't know Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn Lived a past life Suffered in another time I don't know Give it up Give it up Give it up Well, I don't know what to believe anymore But every now and then I feel a moment of awakening But then it's gone, then it's gone, then it's gone I'm blanketed by the warmth of ignorance Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn Lived a past life Suffered in another time I don't know Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn Lived a past life Suffered in another time I don't know If I'll go somewhere special when I die If I'll go somewhere special when I die So I'll just go on and live it my way There's a strength in duality Penetrate mentality Give it up, give it up Learned from casualty Don't have faith in anything Give it up, give it up Singing, I don't know, no, I'll never know I'm giving up, giving up Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn Lived a past life Suffered in another time No, I don't know If I'll go somewhere special when I die If I'll go somewhere special when I die So I'll just go on and live it my way

We'll be mourning this morning There is no need to complain 'cause we've been ignoring this warning There is no pleasure without this pain We're drawn together by accident We'll be forever with these words and melodies They'll guide us through this speck in time We're tryin' to get the missed attempts We are forever with these words and memories They'll guide us through this night We're getting older, older, older Another day, another rut Along the highway's faults We sat and watched him The saddened watchman, he's all alone We're drawn together by accident We'll be forever with these words and melodies They'll guide us through this speck in time We're trying to get the missed attempts We are forever with these words and memories They'll guide us through this night We're getting older, older, older But it's not over, over, over 'cause this is all All you'll ever get Don't forget that, don't forget that No, don't forget that This is all All you'll ever get Don't forget that It's your one and only chance Go this far on your own We'll be mourning this morning We'll be mourning this morning 'cause we've been ignoring this warning All along We're getting older, older, older

Take a look around All things green and brown They are here to stay The people walking by Buildings built so high They'll be gone some day A piercing sound so loud Takes over the crowd Watch them run away Objects in the sky Blocking all the light Total disarray What a show What a show Take a look around Everything you've found Will be gone someday

I'm gonna miss your ways Your sin, your smell, your smile In anxious attempt to let you know Dancing on the roof Of some cartoon showroom But in an instant I'd give it all right back So keep moving onward Run through that open door Consuming knowledge Wormhole through times before Can't you hear their voices crying? Can't you hear their hearts breaking? There is only so much we can do Only so much can be shown to you The rest is your choice It's your choice It's your choice When I close my eyes I see two faces above me One to my left, one to my right I took you under Under my wing to shadow It never did bother me to hide you from the light So keep moving onward Run through that open door Consuming knowledge Wormhole through times before Can't you hear their voices crying? Can't you hear their hearts breaking? There is only so much we can do Only so much can be shown to you The rest is your choice It's your choice It's your choice So keep moving onward So keep moving onward So keep moving onward Run through that open door So keep moving onward Run through that open door So keep moving onward Run through that open door So keep moving onward Run through that open door So keep moving onward

There's a way A way to get out of here To escape these storms and find some shelter To rid of your darkness To rid of your boredom There's somewhere Somewhere that you can go It's obvious Well, it's apparent It's right in front of you So reach out and take it And just let go Our sobriety will diminish Discriminate, we fade slow, fade slow These drugs will expand us United we will grow Let go Let go There's a way A way to squash all of your fears When everyone around you seems to be a stranger You feel their eyes upon you You're hearing their thoughts As they walk away Their voice grows louder Illusions illuminate While your delusions dictate your next move You're bound by deception And a misled direction So just let go Our sobriety will diminish Discriminate, we fade slow, fade slow These drugs will expand us United we will grow Let go Let go There's a way A way out of here There's a way A way out of here So just let go Our sobriety will diminish Discriminate, we fade slow, fade slow These drugs will expand us United we will grow Let go Let go

Sitting in the sand, watch the tide roll up Take a deep breath in as your past fades out Let everything else just fade into the horizon When the planet stops spinning and the music stops Take a deep breath in, let your life fade out With everything else, you'll fade into the horizon I'll never leave this place, where I was born I need a little more information to add to this confusion These delusions, they aren't meant to justify the things you do Thankfully, I haven't been taken very seriously Keep moving onward, keep moving onward I don't know if I've been reborn, or lived a past life, suffered in another time I'm gathering the pebbles, I need to drink from the well We are all part of the problem Just let go Just let go Just let go Just let go Into the horizon Let everything else just fade into the horizon Just let go
