Brightside

Sleaze, hate, the city never sleeps The feeling of danger to never miss a beat The thought of violence, the pleasure that it hides Ever sick thought enough to turn and make you die In the shadows, there seems to be no hope In this world, it's hard to cope Every cheap thrill catered by a smiling face Trapped in your own world you're safe It's hard to live a life with a back you cannot turn A life of the streets, at school you didn't learn Everything haunts you hidden from your sight At the end of the tunnel there's no light

I’ve seen enough of this world To know what’s good and bad I don’t want to look back in time And think of what i could have had But that same time is breathing down my neck And I’ve got to hold on If i lose it all now all hope will be gone Everyday i say to myself it can't be done Try to look on the Brightside Found out there isn’t one But I’ve got to make it work Can't bare to live my life with regret Haunted by memories, never able to forget Endless minutes and endless hours Lead on to endless days If I lose it all now I know I’ll never be the same I waited too long for something like this To come my way If I lose it all now There’s only one person to blame One to cry, one to crawl, one to die, one to fall Captive of time, never to be free The one to blame, that one is me

Boys from the new school Playing the same old game Wild eyes and short lives And ain't it a shame When everything you need to know Is out on the street Every lesson to learn Carved into concrete Fools die I don’t want to be a fool Fools die Boys from the old school Refuse to be part of the past Get caught up in the new rules They get wasted so fast When everything you need to know Is out on the street Every lesson to learn Carved into concrete Fools die I don’t want to be a fool Fools die

Talking behind my back Stretching the truth Why can't you keep your mouth shut? What do I have to do To get you off my back And keep you away? When you don't really listen to A thing that I say Maybe one day you'll finally see You can talk your shit to anyone But keep your ass away from me Every moment in my life's Written on a page Making every story known Like on some fucking stage Violent situation starting to bust To never know again Just who I can trust

Welcome to the real world, where everyone’s a fake Where being oneself can be one big mistake You got to play along it comes with the territory That’s it, there it is, end of story What I want from you I won't ask I’ll take it What I can't get from you I won't try, I’ll break it

Pushed around and made the fool Now it's time I set some rules There will be no more games My word is law The time has come for all out war Sick of all your faces Sick of all your lies Sick of getting pressured Into things that I despise Sick of all your talk Sick of all your stares I’m gonna be the same as you 'Cause no one really cares Pushed around had no protection Gonna turn my life around In the wrong direction I’ve played this game for far too long Now I know that right is wrong

Thought I was on top of the heap 'Til it all came tumbling down on me Dreams turned to nightmares Hopes faded to memories I had hope. I saw a future From where I stood things looked great You saw it different Never gave a reason That’s why I’m so filled with hate The times that we shared were great Memories I’ll always save The future looked so bright Until you turned out the light I’ve got a reason for my anger And that reason is you I hope that some day you get a chance To feel the same way that I do

Torn between what’s wrong, what’s right Why can't I open up and see the light Cheated and lied with little regard Now my insides are permanently scarred Tried to cause no pain. I know it’s still there I know it’s cliché but life isn’t fair What’s wrong, what’s right, have to find it out What’s wrong, what’s right, what’s it all about Now that I’m alone I can really feel the pain Without a release I'm gonna go insane I need some time to figure it all out If I give up now I’ve lost another bout Time heals all wounds they consider this to be true Without a release what can I do? I hope this will pass me right by With you gone I feel empty inside

I'm like him, just like you We all got nothing to live up to But there's no way out of the race Dump your hopes and dreams just to To keep up the pace Then you realize, a misconception Has you caught in the void Between anger and depression You think of the days gone past Wondering how they could have Went by so fast One step forward Two steps back It's every man for himself So leave em all behind You're bound to meet again At the finish line The odds are against you To win the purse So sell you conscience For what you feel it's worth

Prying eyes cut you down to size Before a word is spoken Friendship dies with useless lies Promises are broken Romantic ties bring outraged cries To strong to ever hide I'm trapped behind a wall of hate That no one sees inside Can't you read the writing on the wall? It's too late for anyone at all Don't try and touch me 'Cause there's nothing you can do And if you get too close this wall Could fall all over you

Wisdom in chains Unlocked too late They say it's hard to keep a good man down But you can cripple him till he becomes a bad man Keep him searching through lost and found No, it's not hard to keep a good man down Sooner or later I'll be back around It's hard when things ain't what they seem Someone along the line turned faith into fake And shattered the dream I'll take anything you've got to offer You know how it is when times are tough Anything to make me feel better 'Cause sometimes feeling good is good enough In chains too long, set free too late - wisdom
