Wake
Concentrate. The room starts spinning around me The lights behind my eyes are burning bright Is this fate? Or is this the way they'll find me with my spear in my side? I have tried to see the light I gloried in the night I only know that I am alive I tried to see the way I gloried in the day Now I can only say that I am alive, alive, alive, alive Concentrate. The world still goes in circles Will no one come and save me tonight? Am I too late? So helplessly I stand, with my head in my hands I've tried to see the light I gloried in the night And I can only say that I'm alive I tried to see the way I gloried in the day And I can only say I am alive, alive, alive, alive You know I've tried to see the light I gloried in the night And I can only say I am alive Oh I tried to see the way I gloried in the day And oh how I can say that I'm alive I'm alive

I refuse to claim a guilty pleasure I will have a joy you cannot measure If guilt is all it takes to break a man I will throw it all away and make my stand I will fire through the sky I will need no reason why. Nothing but a flying cannonball I will navigate those straights and narrows Laugh away the daggers stones and arrows As the seasons change and blow away I will sing until I've got nothing left to say I will fire through the sky I will need no reason why. 'Cause I'm nothing but a flying cannonball It used to be the best things I could invent Were my own new forms of punishment It's who I am. It's just who I am I've been singing at the sunlight like a sparrow I'm gonna break the bones of my foes and suck the marrow Sweet the life of those with no regrets. But how can I forgive, how can I forget? I will fire through the sky I will need no reason why. Nothing but a flying cannonball And so I fall

I have been wondering when you will come around When you will speak aloud I know you're hiding I have been wondering how I can push this thing What falling night will bring I know you're hiding Because you wish you were tougher than you are You don't want the pain but you want the scar Are you ever gonna take it as far as you're afraid to go? Now is it starting to seem like this is only a dream? It's just the dancing of sparks in your head Have you had too much to drink and are you starting to think You should be cowering under your bed? Because you wish you were tougher than you are You don't want the pain but you want the scar Are you ever gonna take it as far as you're afraid to go?

Little boy comes home with a brand new toy And so sets to playing with unstoppable joy So soon it's not any fun. Begging, "Mommy please, please can we go out and get a better one?" A bigger boy comes home with a broken toy Searching for something else to destroy What once was second to none now sits in the darkness covered up by all the better ones His heart is burning like a firebrand. Only to stay in his dreamland Dreamland Older boy leaves home with a brand new toy With all the others that they can find to deploy So soon sees it's not any fun Little toy soldier children ended before they have even begun His heart is burning like a firebrand Only to stay in his dreamland Dreamland

It's the simplest way of Life. It's a delicate way to die. It's a hell of a way to go, wouldn't you say? It's the devil behind you eyes. It's all the passionate things he tries It's like the feeling before the plane touches down Something breaks that was holding you back and anger takes on a seminal role Something breaks that was holding you back and Under that black sunlight you spread. You spread. You spread No, don't complicate. It's easy baby, give it a try Let's get one thing straight; nobody laughs if nobody cries I could never speak those words. You know that they would set my tongue aflame I could never think those thoughts. You know that they would set my neck to the blade But I'll tell you baby, this little lamb is taking comfort any way he can This little lamb is set to take down the lion and feast on the man You know, I got a little shack where the powerless live, but I can never forget all that I've learned to forgive As the satellites watch all your troubles in bed, the pain in your heart goes straight to your head And something breaks that was holding you back, and anger takes on a seminal role And something breaks that was holding you back and Under that black sunlight you spread. You spread. You spread No, don't complicate. It's easy baby, give it a try Let's get one thing straight; nobody laughs if nobody cries I could never speak those words. You know that they would set my tongue aflame I could never think those thoughts. You know that they would set my neck to the blade But I'll tell you baby, this little lamb is taking comfort any way he can This little lamb is set to take down the lion and feast on the man

Tina wore a white dress She didn't know it was a funeral Tina wore a white dress She didn't know it was a funeral Until she cried at what she knew to be the rest of her life Guilty of nothing, sentenced like a criminal Guilty of nothing, sentenced like a criminal To a white room with a window to the world outside Found her on the carpet carving on her headstone Found her on the carpet carving on her headstone She looked so still when she quietly said, "Please take my life."

Watching like wolves inside of a cage The kids and the old. The sick and the weak Their cameras flash away The age of Matadors has come The blood on the sand. The beast and the man, they know it has to end this way They say, "Hey! Ole, ole!" They slash away. Ole, Ole! Don't mind the gunfire in the night Just hold me tight and we'll be alright if we can hold the line They're taking over 2 by 2 Death in their eyes. The dim and the wise see it coming They say, "Hey! Ole, ole!" They slash away. Ole, Ole! Watch them spin. The spears go in. Reach up to the sun On bended knees, with a dying wheeze, prepare another one And they say, "Hey! Ole, ole!" They slash away. Ole, Ole!

Look at the bastard stars, See how they're burning tonight I need you to show them all how you can light up the night I don't need your secrets, the gold you're holding I don't need your silver tongues unfolding So rest, please stay. Don't say you'll leave me in this wretched state And count the things that I put you through Just leave a light, a light, leave a light... just leave a light on I fought and won in a thousand wars and they were all created by my own corrupting hand So in this darkness of my own making, just a spark from you can stop the shaking So rest, please stay. Don't say you'll leave me in this wretched state And count the ways I'm breaking us in two Just leave a light, a light, leave a light... just leave a light on I just want to reach you, humbly beseech you to hold me down and never let me go I need you in my blood, I need to be understood I need a distant candle burning, showing me the way back home So rest, please stay. Don't say you'll leave me in this wretched state And count the things that I put you through Just leave a light, a light, leave a light... just leave a light on

Stay down, don't get up. Someone out there might open fire Some little liar, who's shouting that it's all clear So just crawl around, safe and sound. There will never be enough protection You've gotta hold tight, keep it all. These walls are much too small for all this You've gotta keep a tight fist. You've gotta take it from here Until something behind you finally reminds you there will never be enough money Rolling over reason, turning wrong into right The more you have, the more you need and there's no end in sight The world used to be blinding, bathed in shimmering light But the more you have, the more you need and you're blinded by and by, all you buy and buy And you're never gonna see the world, never gonna see the world the same again You've gotta take some God, pray to drugs Sex and cigarettes, new cars and cocaine All these dials for turning down your pain But you still feel something chewing at your brain Rolling over reason, turning wrong into right The more you have, the more you need and there's no end in sight The world used to be blinding, bathed in shimmering light But the more you have, the more you need And you're blinded by and by, all you buy and buy And you're never gonna see the world, never gonna see the world the same again It's the same again. It's never enough

You taught me everything I wanted to know about the way to unwind And I'm beginning to think maybe I should show you there is something down the line Well it was all about intoxication, all about this new sensation, it's all my imagination 'Cause it don't mean nothing to you Don't mean nothin' to you It don't mean nothing to you Don't mean nothin' to you You ain't mine. You ain't easy You owe me nothing. You're taking all my self control You ain't mine. You ain't easy You owe me nothing. You're taking all my self control It was about intoxication, all about this new sensation, all my imagination But it don't mean nothin' to you Don't mean nothin' to you It don't mean nothing to you Don't mean nothin' to you

Red are the hours, tall are the towers Malice and dour faces are all around me. All around me As I choke on holy smoke I get the joke and see we've broken down Watch as you take what's mine. I let you take what's mine It's just killing time Nothing but truth, nothing but love Smell the fuse and nothing is blown to nothing. Blown to nothing Scream at the whore on the floor, "You were born to be more." Watch as you take what's mine. I let you take what's mine It's just killing time. Yeah, you know how it is Oh how I wish we could lay down our arms for a while God how I wish we could lay down our arms for a while Just for a while Red are the hours, tall are the towers Malice and dour faces are all around me. All around me Scream at the whore on the floor, "You were born to be more." Watch as you take what's mine. I let you take what's mine Now it's killing time
