I'm counting on my bruises I'm not counting on myself I've been wreaking out this havoc 'Cause I thought it'd suit me well Never careful of what I'd wish for Never careful with what I'd say Always begging for attention In my sick and twisted way If I could reach the stars There's hope for the hopeless Now that I know this You can be the strength to carry on The voice in the silence Is crushing the violence It's giving me a chance to right these wrongs I will never quit, this is it 'Cause it's hope for the hopeless Hope for the hopeless I'm sitting in the shadows As the bodies hit the floor And I don't need another reason Why I can't take anymore I'm so sick of these excuses Tired of living in the dark And I won't be another victim Starving from an empty heart I'll rise to reach the stars There's hope for the hopeless Now that I know this You can be the strength to carry on The voice in the silence Is crushing the violence It's giving me a chance to right these wrongs I will never quit, this is it 'Cause it's hope for the hopeless I won't suffocate in vain I won't die in apathy I stood out on the edge And faced eternity Saw freedom in the fall When I finally believed I'll never be alone There's hope for the hopeless Now that I know this You can the strength to carry on The voice in the silence Is crushing the violence It's giving me a chance to right these wrongs I will never quit, this is it 'Cause it's hope for the hopeless Hope for the hopeless

It's too dark to put the keys in my ignition, And the mornin' sun is yet to climb my hood ornament. But before too long I might see those flashing red lights Look out, mama, 'cause I'm comin' home tonight. Think I'll roll another number for the road, I feel able to get under any load. Though my feet aren't on the ground, I been standin' on the sound Of some open-hearted people goin' down. I'm not goin' back to Woodstock for a while, Though I long to hear that lonesome hippie smile. I'm a million miles away from that helicopter day No, I don't believe I'll be goin' back that way. Think I'll roll another number for the road, I feel able to get under any load. Though my feet aren't on the ground, I been standin' on the sound Of some open-hearted people goin' down.

Oooohhhh... Oooohhhh... Bury me under a crooked sidewalk That's where we allegedly met I knew that this would end When the lines were redrawn across your bed I know that I'm not a smooth talker I know my eyes are the wrong color To see you open up your willing eyes and say Did you mean it? Cause I didn't hear it! What did you say as I walked out the door, woah Did you want me back? Did you want me? What did you say as I walked out the door, woah Did you want me back? Bury me six feet under your bedroom That's about as far as you could get I knew that this would end When you packed me up and declared me for dead You knew that I was a push over So you pushed me right over the edge I must say you never looked so good in black But did you mean it? What did you say as I walked out the door, woah Did you want me back? Did you want me? What did you say as I walked out the door, woah Did you want me back? If you're having second thoughts then you better speak up, woah You didn't want me You didn't need me What did you say as I walked out the door, woah Did you want me back? I'm amazed that we made it this far We've been through this before and my hope is lost I'm amazed that we made it this far We've been through this before and my hope is lost My hope is lost Oooohhhh... Oooohhhh... Oooohhhh... What did you say as I walked out the door, woah Did you want me back? Did you want me? What did you say as I walked out the door, woah Did you want me back? If you're having second thoughts then you better speak up, woah You didn't want me You didn't need me What did you say as I walked out the door, woah Did you want me? Do you want me back?

It's a mystery how it all came to be I never had the chance to read the answers Inside of me Then you came along, showed me where the heart is strong Took me for a ride into the madness, where we belong Those days are gone... Like a Rose of Jericho It doesn't matter where I go Where the wilted waters flow And the wildest roses grow Like a Rose of Jericho In a teardrop I will grow The legend loves a hero The Rose of Jericho I was paralyzed Living in a wheatherd shrine Didn't care about losing minutes Stealing some borrowed time You woke me up When I had to bend or break I'll never be the same again without it The choice I make Those days are gone... Like a Rose of Jericho It doesn't matter where I go Where the wilted waters flow And the wildest roses grow Like a Rose of Jericho In a teardrop I will grow The legend loves a hero The Rose of Jericho Like a Rose of Jericho It doesn't matter where I go Where the wilted waters flow And the wildest roses grow Like a Rose of Jericho In a teardrop I will grow The legend loves a hero The Rose of Jericho

All hail the ones that take from life without giving back. What's ours is ours Control is all you crave, A fucking paycheck is all you are. Our world is crashing down Before our fucking eyes. Our world is crashing down Before our fucking eyes. We strive to be perfect in this imperfect world, So watch her starve herself. Struggle to fit the mold, As she makes her self sick, It should make us all sick. We can't go on like this, Know your fucking role they say, As they die fighting beauty. But they never knew that they were truly beautiful. And we can't go on like this. With our brainwashed minds, As they die fighting beauty. Because we're slaves to the system We can't go on like this, Let the dead be dead. You corporate fuck, It's time to fight this. The status quo, It's time to fight this. Our broken families, It's time to fight this. Your billboard barbie, It's time to fight this. Let the dead be dead, All hail the dead.

(And this time) (Make sure they're all dead before you leave) You build 'em up You layer stone on stone You build 'em high to back your enemies The sky grows dark The Earth is trembling An unhappy ending to your final fantasy (When your walls fall like Jericho) You feel so safe inside The walls you fortified Supremacy implied Who dares to overthrow? Arrogance justified Self-importance amplified It's down you go when your walls fall like Jericho (When your walls fall like Jericho) This is over This is over We'll all enjoy the show when your walls fall like Jerico (In a grim new age of warfare, today's fighting men must be faught survival on the Common battle field) 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 You're looking down And feeling so profound You're so impressed by your own false humility The sky descends The ground is rising up An unhappy ending to your sense of deity You feel so safe inside The walls you fortified Supremacy implied Who dares to overthrow? Arrogance justified Self-importance amplified It's down you go when your walls fall like Jericho This is over This is over This is over When your walls fall like Jericho You feel so safe inside The walls you fortified It's down you go When your walls fall like Jericho (I don't wanna hurt you) (But you try something and I'll) (I'll rip your face off) (I'm gunna kill every one of you) You feel so safe inside The walls you fortified Supremacy implied Who dares to overthrow? Arrogance justified Self-importance amplified It's down you go We'll all enjoy the show Can't wait to see you go when your walls fall like Jericho (You don't frighten me) This is over This is over This is over This is over We'll all enjoy the show G-g-gotta go Can't wait to see you go when your walls fall like Jericho (I don't wanna hurt you) (But you try something and I'll) (I'll rip your face off) (I'm gunna kill every one of you) (And this time) (Make sure they're all dead before you leave)
