So strip away all of my shadows And light me up brighter than the sun My hands are strong from building these gallows Many will be left hanging before my time here is done Before my time is done Before my time is done Well I could show you no merciful side again I could just hold you, wouldn't that be nice? One thing I know by now is that in the end You can never swim in the same river twice Try and you're wasting your time Oh, I don't know why god made me this way (And I'm so sorry) I don't know how much more I can take (And I'm so sorry) You know it's always my mistake (And I'm so sorry) And I'll be sorry when I break you So take me high, fly me over the mountains Cry of the raven and the scream of the dove And I'll be gone on the wings of the eagles High road behind me, left everything that I loved All of the things I loved Oh I don't know why god made me this way (And I'm so sorry) I don't know how much more I can take (And I'm so sorry) You know it's always my mistake (And I'm so sorry) And I'll be sorry when I see that you're gone Gone away Like a god gone astray Not a word Will be spoken Of how it broke me when I saw you broken Broken Broken When I broke you Want it all but can't pay the bill Just staring out my little window sill My companion, one colorful pill Nobody cares about what they can't kill

All you tortured and strange, before we begin, just open your minds so we all can climb in. Sell your souls for a dime. Don't try to fight. You'll never be strong, but you'll always be mine. Yeah you'll always be mine. So you're cock of the walk? A heart like a balloon and it's getting bigger. Still when there comes that knock upon your front door When you dance across the floor you'll know one thing for sure. You know they won't see nothin' You know they won't see nothin' You know they won't see nothin' You know they won't see you. Oh they won't see you. While you're working to earn just one slice I'll give you this kindly advice: They'll forget your name at half price. You're just a ghost in the making. Now you're tortured and you're strange. It's already begun. Why keep throwing punches when you know that I've won? Sell your soul for a dime and don't try to fight. You'll never be wrong, but you'll never be right. No you'll never be right. Talk your talk and walk your walk. I'm no common fool and I'd say you took your number Still when there comes that knock upon your front door when you dance across the floor You'll know one thing for sure. You know they won't see nothin' You know they won't see nothin' You know they won't see nothin' You'll know they won't see you. Oh they won't see you. While you're working to earn just one slice I'll give you this kindly advice: They'll forget your name at half price. Oh you're just a ghost in the making.

When you walk the streets you can feel it in the way it leaves you in a cold sweat. Coming up for air not escaping. All I can feel is the bottom we're scraping. And you say, "It's all right. And "It's okay." Just learn to live life another day. Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall." I want to be there when we watch it all breakdown. You know it. Don't you feel like watching it all burn down to the ground Yeah, when I breakdown I'm gonna show it. And all my flames will rise through the skies with a terrible sound. Yeah when I breakdown. They send me out to locate all the dead so I can tally 'em. And I take my paycheck and buy whiskey to chase the valium. May not deserve to serve, but you will whether you like it or not. No, no, nobody's looking for a savior, they're just looking for everything you've got. Everything! And I said, "It's all right. And "It's okay." Just learn to live life another day. Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall." I want to be there when we watch it all breakdown. And you know it. Don't you feel like watching it all burn down to the ground Yeah, when I breakdown I'm gonna show it. And all my flames will rise through the skies with a terrible sound. Yeah when I breakdown. And if I could, I'd shove the whole world, right onto a knife I wouldn't think twice. But you're the one I'm thrown To save my life. You said, "It's all right. And "It's okay." Learn to live life another day. And if you stop to pick me up, You know that I'll be going your way.

So this is love? So this is loneliness? So this is heartache that you just cannot bear? I'll miss your poison, I'll miss your sweet caress. And all those moments in the day when I wished that I was unaware. Spaces in between us start to fill. So prepare to finally break your will Your will. Yeah. And so the days pass by still we never wonder why it feels so simple and yet... Out of the clear blue sky, no one saw the arrow fly in. Feel your palms getting wet You start to sweat. Spaces in between us start to fill. So prepare to finally break your will. This is the Queen gonna eat that pawn up. This is the King gonna wake up that dawn up This is the way that she sheets are drawn up. So this love? This is the thing that you do without a reason. This is the rain that ends the dry season This is locked up until you put your keys in. So this is love. Spaces in between us start to fill. So prepare to finally break your will.

I was borne upon that wave where no one goes. No one goes. I was borne into that light the highway shows. Soon you won't be waiting. Soon you'll only be with me. Not another soul will be there, Oh just you wait and see. Oh please don't be fooled by everything that you see. You know that all these distractions won't ever come back for me They won't come back for me. You're in the back of the line just biding your time. Hang on Just like the taste of the wine, you know it's better with time. Hang on. When they tell you the price, Mask your surprise Hang on. So just get back on the road, get back in the car. If they light up your fuse, you'll shine like a star And I get back on the track, get back on the train. If you give me a spade, I'll bury your pain And all the flowers that grow from that fertile grave Will be blue as the ocean and they'll look like the wave I rode. Oh please don't be fooled by everything that you see. All these distractions won't ever come back for me Oh they won't come back for me. You're in the back of the line and you're biding your time. Hang on Like the taste of the wine, it's better with time. Hang on. When they tell you the price, Mask your surprise Hang on. Precious things and worthless trifles guarded by young men with rifles. Watch the tide come take them all away. Take them all away.

Am I feeling high? Am I feeling low? Am I feeling something like a quid pro quo? Am I feeling lost? Am I feeling found? Even when I'm flying I still can't leave the ground Come join me in the fight to see more than black and white. Smashing everything down until it falls our way. Could this be all hallucinations? Get right up front or get left behind. See through the blackness that blankets all nations. It might be blinding but it's quite a sensation. Come join me in the fight to see more than black and white. Smashing everything down until it falls our way. Am I feeling high? Am I feeling low? Am I feeling something like a quid pro quo? Am I feeling lost? Am I feeling found? Even when I'm flying I still can't leave the ground We can join in the fight. It's only a waste of our time. We'll smash everything down until it falls our way.

I shoulder my burden like anyone would. You try to soothe me, I never thought you could Life on the sidelines is just a taste of death. The taste is stronger with every breath Take out my eyes and make them sober. Take out my heart and make it see. I wanna sleep when this is over. I don't feel so good. I don't feel so good. Feel so good. Feel so good. The crying soldier lays bleeding on the field. Another empty bottle for all the secrets they concealed Take out my eyes and make them sober. Take out my heart and make it see. Oh and I wanna sleep when this is over. Oh I don't feel so good. I don't feel so good. Oh, my sweetness. Oh, my sight. Oh, my sweetness, Yeah while the world is beating down your door You ask me,"How much more will do the trick?" As I lay contemplating the floor, Looking for the switch. Looking for the switch. I shoulder my burden like anyone would. You try to soothe me, I never thought you could Life on the sidelines just a taste of death. The taste is stronger with every breath.

In transition once again all is lost In transition once again all is lost All is lost And all us drunk on misery watch us the new days dawns. Our wine is only as good as the poetry it spawns I've been hoping desperately you'd make your way down here and say hi. Come down below. Show me your face and show me your gray eyes. Your gray eyes. Let me soak in your gray eyes. Those gray eyes take me over. In transition once again all is lost In transition once again all is lost All is lost As the snake devours the egg it feels that all is gained. All the sacred and the profane will be one again My defenses are all shattered by one dagger thrown from those eyes. Just say hello, Give me a smile and show me your gray eyes, Those gray eyes, Let me soak in your gray eyes. Those gray eyes take me over This is the death of the life that we know. This is us moving on. This suffering, I've been told, is how we grow. This is the death of the life that we know. This is us moving on. You told me so, but your eyes are changing Till it's all gone away. The storm is raging until it's all blown away by your eyes. Those gray eyes, Let me soak in your gray eyes. Those gray eyes, take me over.

And tonight no one knows Yeah tonight no one knows All my bones, made to suffer. All my dreams that will never be. All these chains I have created. I break them and I'm free. And tonight no one knows Yeah tonight no one knows And the world you see reflected With your nose against the glass. All the things you feel are missing, Soon all this too shall pass Oh and tonight no one knows Yeah tonight no one knows And the silence that you're left with Is so golden to you now. And the way you thought was so lost Will lead you back somehow. Yeah tonight no one knows Oh tonight, no one knows.

You said you had a place in the mountains. Said you had a home in the sky. You keep it all come hell or high water. You see the river running red and rising? Thanks to the crowd and their screaming out loud Now I finally can't hear myself thinking. Yes we're all on a roll and we've lost all control and we're having the time of our lives. Right here in our home in the sky Girls all painted perfect shades, Holding tight to razor blades And boys are pulling down the shades and trying to have their way. Drive right by all warning signs we lay back and close our eyes And holding on begin to rise to home. We're on our way. Thanks to the crowd and their screaming out loud Now I finally can't hear myself thinking. Yes we're all on a roll and we've lost all control and we're having the time of our lives. Right here in our home in the sky In the sky In the sky With our senses reeling Break right through the ceiling Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go Float up higher and higher until we get home.
