Dave: Bud: don't cry They've no reason to argue At all Change: Hey Patrice don't cry, They've no reason to harm you at all They don't realize That the angels surround you in light They don't understand Their narrow ways defeat them where they stand They don't realize You hide your sadness beneath a painted smile. Ignorance, That blind old fool, steers a wayward path And set the course upon which we sing into a night of uncertainty Following the stars That make their way across the sky Valuing the love That land brings to our eyes We sail...

Jesus, Jesus help me I'm alone in this world And a fucked up world it is too Tell me, tell me the story The one about eternity And the way it's all gonna be Wake up, wake up dead man Wake up, wake up dead man Jesus, I'm waiting here, boss I know you're looking out for us But maybe your hands aren't free Your Father, He made the world in seven He's in charge of heaven Will you put a word in for me? Wake up, wake up dead man Wake up, wake up dead man Listen to the words they'll tell you what to do Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you Listen to the reed in the saxophone Listen over the hum of the radio Listen over the sound of blades in rotation Listen through the traffic and circulation Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme Listen over marching bands playing out their time Wake up, wake up dead man Wake up, wake up dead man Jesus, were you just around the corner? Did you think to try and warn her? Were you working on something new? If there's an order in all of this disorder Is it like a tape recorder? Can we rewind it just once more? Wake up, wake up dead man Wake up, wake up dead man Wake up, wake up dead man

I was woken from silence Torn from my dreams A life less than perfect More rips at the seams You can't sew me together To fix what's been done I've felt it all but I can't feel numb I've felt it all but I can't feel numb I've felt it all but I can't feel numb So stay away We've been down this road before Been barely holding on for so long So keep spitting me out A bad taste in your mouth You always say to yourself That you'll change So stay away We've been down this road before Been barely holding on for so long It's safe to say I can't do this anymore And I'm not the only one It's so wrong Take this for what it's worth You should know This is cutthroat Cutthroat So stay away We've been down this road before Been barely holding on for so long It's safe to say I can't do this anymore I'm not the only one It's so wrong So stay away We've been down this road before Been barely holding on for so long It's safe to say I can't do this anymore And I'm not the only one It's so wrong

Keep moving down the line, What's sitting here is mine You've taken far too long, Go back where you belong. This place is not for the weak, This place is not for the weak They've all been begging for the truth, It's over now (it's over now) We gave our lives for this, It's all we have, It's all we'll ever know We sacrificed for this, When it's said and done we'll have our scars to show... We'll have the scars to show. I am destruction, You'll never be the death of me You are deception, I am the one that you betray. We gave our lives for this, It's all we have, It's all we'll ever know We sacrificed for this, When it's said and done we'll have our scars to show... Our scars to show We'll have our scars to show From now 'till the end. From now until the end. It's set in stone now there's no turning back We'll stand our ground, We are unbroken We are unbroken! We are unbroken!

You were the flame, but you burned out easily Yeah and you see the light through the dark But you can't quite see through to me And every word that you waste, every breath that you faked Hope they're keeping you up at night And I'm dying to let you go now Let you go You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave I'm the reason you're coming up for air Holding on to a memory You can blame it on wishful sinking You can blame it on wishful sinking I'd try to save you But what were you thinking? So just breathe slow, caught in the undertow And I'm fighting the current Holding my ground if you can't let go The pressure will hold you down Remember when you said until the end I swear I'll never feel the same again You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave I'm the reason you're coming up for air Holding on to a memory You can blame it on wishful sinking You can blame it on wishful sinking I'd try to save you But what were you thinking? I'd try to save you But what were you thinking? Every word that you waste Every breath that you faked Hope they're keeping you up at night And I'm dying to let you know now Dying to let you know They're coming for you Let you know You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave I'm the reason you're coming up for air Holding on to a memory You can blame it on wishful sinking You can blame it on wishful sinking I'd try to save you (I'd try to save you) I'd try to save you But what were you thinking?

Watching your empire fall You'll never stop 'til you get what you want You think you have control? You tried to take mine But I won't leave 'til I get what I want Over and over, bending and breaking Watching your empire fall Watching the ashes fall Will it ever cross your mind? I'm the man you'll never be Think about me when you're all alone Without someone to love Without someone to love Am I gonna be the last one standing? How's it gonna feel when I'm on top? I guess I'll watch you walk away Don't waste my time You've got this upside down What were you thinking of? What were you thinking of? You've got this upside down What were you thinking of? What were you thinking of? Watching your empire fall Watching the ashes fall Will it ever cross your mind? I'm the man you'll never be Think about me when you're all alone Without someone to love You're out there on your own Am I gonna be the last one standing? How's it gonna feel when I'm on top? I guess I'll watch you walk away And let your empire crumble Am I gonna be the last one standing? How's it gonna feel when I'm on top? I guess I'll watch you walk away And let your empire crumble You decide what's next for us Over and over, you sold me out You decide what's next for us Over and over, bending and breaking You decide what's next for us You decide what's next for us You'll never learn, you never will You'll never learn, you never will You decide what's next for us You decide what's next for us

If we're going down We all go down together And thats the way it is And I know We'll stay like this forever I'm standing here I'm standing by your side We've come so far To let this slip away And I can't let go Of what you've done We've tried so hard We've prayed for better days Please don't let go Don't let this slip away I just want you to know If we're going down We all go down together And thats the way it is And I know We'll stay like this forever I'm standing here I'm standing by your side There's nothing left There's nothing left for you There's nothing left for you If we're going down We're going down We all go down together And thats the way it is And I know We'll stay like this forever I'm standing here If we're going down We're going down We all go down together And thats the way it is And I know We'll stay like this forever I'm standing here I'm standing by your side We've come so far We've tried so hard Please don't let go Don't let this slip away

I'm looking past the water, as far as I can see, These mistakes that I've made are staring back at me. So I'm ending where I started, I'm sinking in the sea. It couldn't come much sooner, screaming back at me. We've come so close to the end Just to pick ourselves back up and start over again. Without you, I'll start over again. This is what I believe, you're never gonna take away as long as I'm around. I can't forget, I won't stop now! It's in my blood I'll show you out. This is what I believe, you're never gonna take away as long as I'm around, And I know you'll never hear me now as long as I'm around! Now crawling from the bottom, I'm digging my way out. These bridges that I'm burning are slowly crashing down. Not afraid of what I started, not afraid of going home, If I never took my chances, I would never know. Oh, and we've come so close to the end, Just to pick ourselves back up and start over again. This is what I believe, you're never gonna take away as long as I'm around. I can't forget, I won't stop now! It's in my blood I'll show you out. This is what I believe, you're never gonna take away as long as I'm around, And I know you'll never hear me now as long as I'm around! I can't forget, I won't stop now This is what I believe I can't forget, I won't stop now This is what I believe This is what I believe This is what I believe This is what I believe you're never gonna take away as long as I'm around. I can't forget, I won't stop now! It's in my blood I'll show you out. This is what I believe you're never gonna take away as long as I'm around, And I know you'll never hear me now as long as I'm around!
