Wave goodbye Wave goodbye I'm doing alright with my convictions How are you? You're like everyone... What if you are everyone? What if you are everyone? You climbed a bone ladder to the top Can't see the sun, can't feel the rain, feel the rain I noticed you aren't breathing I noticed you aren't breathing I noticed you aren't breathing I noticed you I noticed you aren't breathing I noticed you aren't breathing I noticed you aren't breathing I noticed you Wave goodbye Wave goodbye I'm doing alright for myself I'm doing alright for myself I'm doing alright for myself I'm doing alright for myself Stand up on top of everyone around you And you don't see anything Well, I guess it's fucking dark up there; And what you don't hear is your heart It's lonely at the top It's lonely at the top It's lonely at the top It's lonely at the top Your mind bending, your spine bending, Your back breaking Wave Goodbye I got no interest in fighting my way Through all the compromises you left behind But they do Watch out for their foot in your back They're as blind as you are They're as dead as you are And you're in their way

I just watched somebody die I just swallowed another lie I don't want to see people die I don't want to swallow another lie It's time to own up to what you said To back up what you've done The TV screen - you want something from me The TV screams - you need something from me The TV screen - you want something from me The TV screams - you need something from me Another life, another lie, mass murders of the mind I don't want to be afraid Another life, another lie, mass murders of my mind I don't want to be afraid to go outside This is why we hide This is why we die This is why

You've got to give to get I took too much to forget You've got to give to get Don't close your eyes You've got to give What the fuck? My friend? Did you think I'd forget? You had a chance We have the scars We had the dream They stole the dream They took the stars It's all we have You had a chance We have the scars We knew the world They stole the dream They took the stars It's all we had It should be ours You let it come down around you There's nothing under there I'm afraid I have to close my eyes; I have to be selfish I hope you know we love you my friend What the fuck? My friend? What did you think, my friend? I'd never walk away, my friend? I remember what you look like standing, my friend I remember

No lyrics have been submitted for this track yet.
Watched your lips move during that interview That voice wasn't yours Spitting poison that's not dangerous Throwing knives that are dull I read what you said in that interview Was that you? Why didn't it hurt you when you cut yourself? How come there's no blood coming from those wounds? Just not that cool You're no hero What if you meant it? We meant it when we sang along What the fuck did you think I was pointing my finger at? My see-through-hero You can't block the bullets I'm going to shoot at you

You hear it You feel it You pin it to your fucking heart like the rest of us You hear it You feel it You pin it to your heart and you keep moving We're not going to save the world We're just learning how to live We're not going to save the world We're just learning how to breathe Breathe it in (As long as it's something, we're more than nothing It just might get us through.) We can learn to breathe the smoke And we can set the fires It's in a thousand different places; I heard it in a thousand different songs You hear it You feel it You pin it to your fucking heart like the rest of us You hear it You feel it You pin it to your heart and keep moving I remember these roads with different voices Singing different songs Different faces and different places Setting the same fires This is how we burn (This is) for the travelers

My problem is I can see it My problem is I have seen it Look what it's done to me Watching what it's done to you 13 hours at a time, or 9-5 We're in this for our lives 13 hours at a time Are you alive? Are you a lie? What about standing up? What about fighting for your life? What about standing up? What're you going to do when the good guys lose? Day after day you're on your back A slave so long You've lost track 13 hours at a time, or 9-5 We're in this for our lives 13 hours at a time Are you afraid? Afraid to try? Are you alive? Are you a lie? You're a lie This is a fight Do what's right This is a fight to stay alive This is a fight for our lives This is a fight

I've had better days I'm not good enough ENOUGH How do I know today won't be like yesterday? Give me one good reason to get out of bed Turn it off I can't get this weight off It keeps me warm I can't hold this world up It's always on I can control this I can control this I can control this I HAVE CONTROL I'm not going to die today I'm not going to waste today I'm not going to die today How do I face today? What if today is as bad as yesterday? How do I get up the next day? It doesn't matter I'll just end up here anyway Turn it back on It doesn't matter At least it's on Give me one good reason to get out of bed

I have nothing but contempt For how you think and how you live Twisted words to suit your vision Took what wasn't yours to give You are not a god You are not a man You are just a thief Come take from me How does the sun feel on your back? How does your foot feel on her back? I won't accept your life I won't steal her life How do you crush life? How do you justify your life? I will walk past your tradition and I won't look back Won't respect your position I think you missed his point I don't think he speaks to you I can look in your eye And know it for what you turned into Monster

How do we act like this? We've left each other behind Walked away from our own Left them alone Self-satisfying our desires from the top of another's back Liar Reduced yourself to this Lair There's nothing on the top of a pile of our own There's nothing on the backs of our friends There's nothing to our desires when we win like this Have you ever seen the eyes of a man As he's betrayed by his friends? Have you ever seen him cry? Have you ever seen his eyes? Because every day we are beaten down Stolen from Lied to By our friends By our own By our fellow man It could have been so much better than this
