Nocturnal Rites
Album • 2007
I’ve rushed a million miles, haven’t moved at all Just like the rats, I will keep on going I’ve severed all my ties, set up for my fall And just like that, I’m back at square one Take me, somewhere Wake me from this nightmare Hear me, call out to the world Someone, somewhere Save me if I fall, you’ll be my savior Lead the way; I call out to the world All these countless bugs, crawling in my skin I’m losing hope, and I’m going nowhere I’ve heard a million lies, my patience’s wearing thin Up to my throat, and I’ve heard it all before Take me, somewhere Wake me from this nightmare Hear me, call out to the world Someone, somewhere Save me if I fall, you’ll be my savior Lead the way; I call out to the world, oh Take me, somewhere Wake me from this nightmare Hear me, call out to the world Someone, somewhere Save me if I fall, you’ll be my savior Lead the way; I call out to the world

Lying awake, alone in my bed Voices are calling from inside my head You’d be surprised, if you knew what they really said From my dark rooms, I’ve shut the world out I hide from it all, can’t you see? It’s too painful to talk about I’m not what I used to be Some things we leave alone And wish that we’d never known And sometimes we go too far To hide our scars, oh I am not the only (the only), the only one who runs No, I am not the only one ‘Cause when it’s down to wire we all run I’m not the only one Break down the door, let in the light I’m not the same anymore I’ve got to come clean, you know These loose ends just got to go... Some things we leave alone And wish that we’d never known And sometimes we go too far To hide our scars, oh I am not the only (the only), the only one who runs No, I am not the only one ‘Cause when it’s down to wire we all run I’m not the only one, oh So break down the door, let in the light, oh I am not the only (the only), the only one who runs No, I am not the only one ‘Cause when it’s down to wire we all run I’m not the only one, oh Not the only Not the only ‘Cause when it’s down to the only one I’m not the only one

On this dead end road You just sold yours souls Buying in on what they told High and mighty you And your washed-out smiles Tell me now, who’s fooling who? Won’t be afraid no more Here you found what you’re looking for Settle for less, round up the clowns Obliterate this mess Say your prayers, little one And tell me, yeah tell me After all is said and done Just tell me now, tell me now I see right through you How you cry on cue That’s just all you’ve left to do Won’t be afraid no more Here you found what you’re looking for Settle for less, round up the clowns Obliterate this mess Say your prayers, little one And tell me, yeah tell me After all is said and done Just tell me now, tell me now (Say your prayers, little one) Say your prayers, little one (After all is said and done) After all is said and done Say your prayers, little one (And tell me) little one, little one, little one After all is said and done You tell me now, you tell me now

It’s time to go We know there’s something calling There’s nothing left out here at all, no We’re going crazy, it’s no illusion We’ve had enough, so here we are Who walks a thin line? And who’s running out of time? This time we know it’s for real We’re falling face down, right into the ground We are not like you, we are not the same Not like the fools who follow and live their lives tomorrow No, we are not like you And so the story ends, we will never be like you We’ve had enough, there must be something better We turn our backs and walk away We’re getting tired of all you liars We’ve heard it all too many times Who walks a thin line? And who’s running out of time? This time we know it’s for real We’re falling face down, right into the ground We are not like you, we are not the same Not like the fools who follow and live their lives tomorrow No, we are not like you And so the story ends, we will never be like you We are not like you, we are not the same Not like the fools who follow and live their lives tomorrow No, we are not like you And so the story ends, we will never be like you We will never be like you Like you Like you!

Woke up today, no hope for tomorrow What I thought would wash away Needless to say, I’d kind of lost my way So I’m right here, waiting... No more, no more Won’t stop trying till I know I’m alive No way, no way No denying till I come alive I turned on a dime and counted my blessings So no more wasting time Wiped out the slate and finally turned the page And I’m right here, waiting No more, no more Won’t stop trying till I know I’m alive No way, no way No denying till I come alive No, thought I still believe in nothing Never crawling, never falling I’ll never be like you No more, no more Won’t stop trying till I know I’m alive No way, no way No denying till I come alive Till I come alive I will never be like you Oh... till I come alive

One bad seed in this filthy gravel One bad turn on this crocked road Took me here, to this path I travel Made me pay for what I owed One black cloud on my silver lining One bad mood that I can’t through Someone else when I look in the mirror Someone new in the tainted glass No, I, I, I, can’t stand it Here I go, all alone It’s time I made it on my own They tried to make me, tried to brake me But I’m strong enough Tried to mold, shape and make me On my back, like a bad tattoo Here I am, still torn and ragged Half a man, that’ll have to do No, I, I, I, can’t stand it Here I go, all alone It’s time I made it on my own They tried to make me, tried to brake me But I’m strong enough No, I, I, I, can’t stand it Here I go, all alone It’s time I made it on my own They tried to make me, tried to brake me But I’m strong enough (Here I go) It’s time I made it on my own They tried to make me, tried to brake me But I’m strong enough
One, just one more drink One last cigarette and I am on my way Oh last night, it’s all a haze Here I pave my way through filth and broken glass Something is not the same Something is different from before Guess that I, guess I died inside, oh When there’s nothing more When I’d tried it all Come undone, when the odds were close to none When the moment’s there The divide I beware Then it’s me, it’s only me Torn, still torn and bruised But I’ve had my run, and I’ll, I’ll see it through All for you, my sweet farewell Oh, I can’t believe that I survived this hell When there’s nothing more When I’d tried it all Come undone, when the odds were close to none When the moment’s there The divide I beware Then it’s me, it’s only me (Oh, oh... oh...) (Oh, oh...) When there’s nothing more When I’d tried it all Come undone, when the odds were close to none And when the moment’s there The divide I beware Then it’s me, it’s only me

Hear you call for me It’s too late, can’t you see? Couldn’t help, they spit on you, and called you fool I believe it just slipped my mind That I left you behind I can’t help, you died that day that I betrayed On and on Pain or pleasure There is no distinction You will see, someday That pain is just one step away (Pain or pleasure) There is no distinction Wish I could explain That pleasure is equal to pain... I am over you I keep telling myself Couldn’t help They made you beg, made you bleed I am sorry for what they did Wasn’t me, God forbid It hit me now, I’m just like them Or worse somehow Now you’re gone Pain or pleasure There is no distinction You will see, someday That pain is just one step away (Pain or pleasure) There is no distinction Wish I could explain That pleasure is equal to pain... Pain or pleasure There is no distinction You will see, someday That pain is just one step away (Pain or pleasure) There is no distinction Wish I could explain That pleasure is equal to pain...
