Hearts lost at sea
Another night lost, ill never get it back
Wasted nights on memories are all I have left.
Shattered bottles and a one shot pistol,
to go with this dinner for one.
Dining on broken hearts with a prayer to die
Sitting alone, staring at the gun.
Sleepless nights, a forgotten hope.
In a damp room, with a single failing light.
You should have known.(should have known)
Flickering light, representing my life.
Going on and off, until it finially dies.
My mind is made up, Ive decided my fate.
Dont try and stop me, Its way to late.
Im past the point of no return
Im all alone now
Like a crew abandoning a sinking ship.
Everyone has left me, jumping off the bow.
Well, I'm the anchor, disapearing from sight.
Sinking into darkness, as I die quietly tonight..
Sleepless nights, a forgotten hope.
In a damp room, with a single failing light.
You should have known.(should have known)
Flickering light, representing my life.
Going on and off, until it finially dies.
Dont let me die (I take it all back)
Please save me (I take it all back)
I dont wanna go (I take it all back)
Its not my time (I take it all back)
Im sorry, dont let me die.
(I take it all back)
(I take it all back)
The Day We Stopped The World
This is a story about
the day, oh that fateful day.
The day the past was changed
forever and alltogether, we changed life forever
A story about the heroes who took a stand
the story about the pain the payback and the plan
That re-wrote history and wont soon be forgotten
by you or by anyone and is the reason for the knot in
my stomach, yah thats right im nervous, and you would be too
if you had a detonator in your hand, and were about to do
what im about to do, you could never take the pressure.
you would crack like a sidewalk
you would break like my heart.
So lets face it, while your behind your lock
and your key, your only feeling sorry for yourself
and wishing you were me.
So after we’re drowned in the sea of your problems
They now become our own
We will no longer be your voiceless clone
Watch as we pull our selves out in this atmosphere of pain
Nothing will be accomplished
No loss, no gain.
And when you awake
The destruction you see will be hard to digest
Maybe you'll pay more attention
And not live for yourselves
And get us out of this fucking mess
And so run downstairs and grab the gear
bring it out to van, theres no room for error here.
Make sure everything goes according to plan.
and as the seconds pass the bomb ticks away in the van
In an emptied out parking garage not far underground
Like so many others all across town.
All ready to blow and paint a picture of revolution
We are the artists, and we've got the solution.
So get everyone out, make sure no one is left inside.
Cuz were not in this for the kill, we dont want anyone else to die.
But your skyline is about to fall to the ground.
and in the time its taken the big hand to go around,
so much is going through my mind
im thinking about you, im wondering if everything will go alright.
Well, theres no going back now. We've come way to far
and worked way to hard to let this plan fall apart.
And as the countdown begins and winds down to zero
Ive got my thumb on the button and Im looking out the window
And when the sirens go off all over town
In my heart I know we've done it as it all comes crashing down
So after we’re drowned in the sea of your problems
They now become our own
We will no longer be your voiceless clone
Watch as we pull our selves out in this atmosphere of pain
Nothing will be accomplished
No loss, no gain.
And when you awake
The destruction you see will be hard to digest
Maybe you'll pay more attention
And not live for yourselves
And get us out of this fucking mess
So watch (watch)
And listen (listen)
As those buildings that they worked so hard to create
are gone in an instant
The silence of the night shattered by hate
This world stands silent
Because everyone is voiceless
But we stand voiceless no more!
INSTRUMENTAL (Talking Part)
What would you do if your world went to shit?
How would you feel if someone was driving you into the ground?
Do you know what it’s like to be voiceless?
What would you do to protect yourself and your loved ones?
What would you do to put the world at peace?
Will you be willing to pay for your actions?
Are you willing to put your life on the line?
And after the madness is over, and you step out of your house
you see all your neighbors do they same along with everybody else
all across the city, and as you wait for the dust to settle
your wondering, and your scared that your living in hell.
And for a moment you notice the silence
oh the silence, like nothing you've ever heard
you cant hear anything, not even the words
coming from your own mouth as you scream at the site.
The silence brought on by the shattering of the night
Maybe in time you will see
that in the seconds after the blast, everyone was at peace.
the world was at peace....
(Talking Part)
What would you do if your world went to shit?
How would you feel if someone was driving you into the ground?
Do you know what it’s like to be voiceless?

A Night Under The Streetlight
So maybe I'm sick?
Yeah thats gotta be it.
I'm sick and tired of everyone,
complaining about everything to me.
And im pretty sure,
that if I knew I'd get away with it.
I'd let you all drown in your own self pity.
But don't get me wrong
I know you've got problems,
and im sure you could write me the saddest song.
about the saddest girl, in the saddest story.
Im sorry, but it's boring.
And I know your better than this.
So stop comming to me with your problems,
and maybe dont you think your just over reacting a bit.
We've all had our toes stubbed once or twice before,
and just yesterday I got my hand got in the door.
Of my car, while I was on my way to your
house to tell you it was going to be okay.
And to be completly honest, I dont remember why,
you had all those tears streaming from your eyes.
And just last week, If you'll recall,
you pounded my digits, to tell me all.
About how much you hate your life and everything sucks,
Well im sorry to hear that, but when it comes down to it.
Your better off than me, but you've yet to see,
me say I would end my llife because I had a bad week.
And theres been lots of times when my car wouldn't start.
And yah,
when I think back on it, I was mad,
when she broke my heart.
But if theres one thing I've learned; its that life goes on.
Yeah, thats right; life goes on,
But don't get me wrong
I know you've got problems,
and im sure you could write me the saddest song.
about the saddest girl, in the saddest story.
Im sorry, but it's boring.
And I know your better than this.
So stop comming to me with your problems,
and maybe dont you think your just over reacting a bit.
We've all had our toes stubbed once or twice before,

Of my car, while I was on my way to your
house to tell you it was going to be okay.
And to be completly honest, I dont even remember why,
you had all those tears streaming from your eyes.
So your falling, falling but you never really fell.
And I'm running short on sympathy, its getting hard to tell.
If your really hurt, or your craving some attention.
So your the girl who cried wolf when all you saw was the sun.
And your afraid it won't bring anything,
good and I guess it's out to get you too.
Well I'm sorry dear but your wrong,
So get up and stop dwelling on the past.
Cuz its, well it's the past,
and your not gunna change anything now.
So the only thing that matters is how
You deal with the change, or in your case, if you deal with it at all.
And so what if your short, for once in your life stand up and be tall.
Another night lost, ill never get it back
Wasted nights on memories are all I have left.
