Soldiers Of Misfortune

I’d like to break free from here
It’s gotten clear the reason’s have smeared
I’d like to break free form here
In the land of lonely
The reasons are phony

So Pray
For the soldiers of misfortune
for The soldiers of distortion
Dig a grave

I’d like to wake up from this dream
Can’t we learn from history
Why’s it such a mystery
I’d like to wake up from this dream
In A world where they don’t scream
In A world without misery

so Pray
For the soldiers of misfortune
The soldiers of distortion
Hold a parade

I'd like to wake
in a dream
where they don't scream
without misery

so Pray
for the soldiers of misfortune
for the soldiers of distortion
dig a grave
so Pray
for the soldiers of misfortune
for the soldiers of distortion
hold a parade

What’s Next

They just keep swallowing us
They just hustling us
They just keep beating us down, down

They just keep holding us back
Wish i could just see the attack
They just keep beating us down, down
It's time we took up a stand
Take the bong out of our hands
'Cause right now we just don't realize

What’s Next
look what they've done to us
we don't know who to trust

What’s Next
soNormal" align="center">it's just so meaningless
wish I was simple in bliss

Take the soldiers and put them in sand
Pull the child right from the man
It's not hard to get swallowed up
George Bush is fucking us up
See the lies that he has sown
Wash us up and he has us done
Wash us up and he has us done
This time he has taken
Has just left us thinkin'

They just keep swallowing us, We don't know who to trust
They just keep swallowing us, We've got each other to trust

The Wake

Clean
There ain’t nobody thats clean
Down in the basement
Down here the saints turn mean
Love
There ain’t nobody loveing
Down here your head stays low
You can’t see the skies above

Push me a little bit closer
To the man in the mirror

The wake after mistakes
Can you forgive and forget
The wake after my hate
Do you forgive or regret

Grow
There ain’t nobody growing
Its hard to remember hope
Your standards just stay low
Change
There ain’t nobody changing
I don’t want to stay this way
I can’t just stay deranged

Push me a little bit close
To the man in the mirror

The wake after mistakes
Can you forgive and foreget
The wake after my hate
Do you forgive or regret

Do you forgive and forget

Cold (Anthem for the Damned)

Out in the desert sky tonight
With nothing but my head
Under the watchful of eyes your
Thinking the thoughts of dread
Wanting to tear myself apart
I'm running for some rest

Cold thoughts must lie within
Cold blood under my skin

Making the dream wash out tonight
With nothing but my dread
Watching the world fall down
At least inside my head

Cold thoughts must lie within
Cold blood under my skin

I wish just in I wish just in I wish I just stayed in tonight
Ask me a question, something that you know
Watch as I lie, watch as a lie is told

Cold thoughts must lie within
Cold blood under my skin

Hatred is Contagious

Haunted by our losses
Feel dead in our conscious
Pain and hate become our process
It spreads as he watches

It makes me
It makes me cry
It breaks me
Its built on Lies
It makes me
I am alive

Crosses are our losses
Tombstones make our fossils
Pain and hate become our bosses
It spreads as he watches

It makes me
It makes me cry
It breaks me
Its built on Lies
It makes me
I am alive

Lie After Lie

A waste of time
A waste of life
A waste of youth

A waste of minds
A waste of love
And where were you ?

When I look back on this
Will I think ahhh I missed it

Will we end up as life's many wrong's
Or will we end up at all

Lie, lie after lie

Always a crime
a waste of time
always with you

A waste of minds
A waste of life
And where were you ?

When I look back on this
Will I think ahhh I missed it

Will we end up as life's many wrong
Or will we end up at all
Lie, lie after lie

Kill the Day

And night turns to daylight
The daylight breaks you
You think lost and lonely
Your thoughts betray you
It isn’t the first time
It won’t be the last time
This crushed heart feeling
Is the price on my crime

Closed your eyes
The curtains then you lie
Push them away its okay
Kill the day

And day turns to night time
And the night time makes you
You use and play white pony
The thoughts remake you
It isn’t the first time
It won’t be the last
This crushed up feeling
Is the price on my crime

Closed your eyes
The curtains then you lie
Push them away its okay
Kill the day
Hates you
Breaks you

The Take

Take what little pride we have away
heres to them heres to them
makes so little difference anyway
heres to us heres to us
and i wish you could understand, understand

take take take, and waste waste waste
makes hate hate hate
makes hate hate hate

hey hey hey everybody's got nothing to say
heres to you heres to you
makes so little difference anyway
heres to us heres to us
and i wish you could understand understand

take take take and waste waste waste
makes hate hate hate
makes hate hate hate

we got nothing left to say
but we go on everyday

I Keep the Flowers Around

I keep the bottles around and my head held down
Which is what you do in this place
I keep the bottles around and my spirits down
as I watch you lie to my face

Can't you see the little things you say to me
You're not smart enough to realize you said the opposite

You Lie
To Me
Cause you lie
To Me

I keep the flowers around and my head held down
It's just what you do in my place
I keep the flowers around and my head held down
It's the only defense in my case

Cause I can't see what the lies have done to me
I hope love's enough for it's me the lies you see

Refrain

In Dreams

Come take me to the place of your bereavement
Let me see the scars of your allegiance
Well it's good to see that you're skeptical
That your mind ain't closed
And your heart is cold

I'm gonna make you wake
I'm gonna liberate
This dream ends now
I'm gonna fascinate
I'm gonna change your fate
This dream ends now

Come with me if you want to see the real thing
Let me lead you'll see what keeps you breathing
And it's good to see when you look at me
And that I'm the one to the tenth degree

I'm gonna make you wake
I'm gonna liberate
This dream ends now
I'm gonna fascinate
I'm gonna change your fate
This dream ends now

Wanted to believe, but I never believe you

Only You

I started to think about becoming extinct
By the way that we’re going
I shudder to think that we’re close to the brink
If you don’t hurry
I started to cry when I thought of the lie
That they told you
To limit the sky when I look in your eye
I know it can’t hold you
Only You
Only You

Only You Im starting to think
We’ll disappear
Only You Im starting to think
That we’ll disappear

I started to think that we’re missing a link
Its begun to unravel
It just takes a blink to get out of sync
The lines become blurry
I look at your smile than I know for a while
That I don’t have to worry
Cause the world has got you and like ocean’s are blue
We start a new journey
Only You
Only You

Only You Im starting to think
We’ll disappear
Only You Im starting to think
That we’ll disappear
