PRESSURE BOMB!!!!
03:09
|
|||
|
[Chorus]
Slow down
Those words mean nothing
My brain just revs up faster
Pressure bomb in a goddamn knife fight
[Verse 1]
Ecstatic pathways runaway, flood my mind
Overstimulation makes me feel like I’m alive
Oh I wish there was a way that I could sing these lines
A million miles a minute maybe then I could begin to feel like
They could keep up with the semi-automatic
Static that’s keeping me up
It drives me forward every moment
Makes sure I don’t stop too long to
Smell the flowers
I been here too long I might burn up and explode
[Chorus]
Slow down
Those words mean nothing
My brain just revs up faster
Pressure bomb in a goddamn knife fight
[Verse 2]
I get in the way of myself
And it hurts to admit
That sometimes I’m unequipped
To handle
It all on my own
But why do it alone?
You might burn out and explode
[Chorus]
Slow down
Those words mean nothing
My brain just revs up faster
Pressure bomb in a goddamn knife fight
[Bridge]
I’m at the end of my means
From idolizing a made-up man who day could be me
But does version sleep at night
Or ever take a minute to just breathe
Or Just to be
[Chorus]
Slow down
Those words mean nothing
My brain just revs up faster
Pressure bomb in a goddamn knife fight
Slow down
Those words mean nothing
My brain just revs up faster
Pressure bomb in a goddamn knife fight

City Of Ashes (Revamped)
03:46
|
|||
|
[Intro]
Kerosene lit lanterns burn through faded pages
Not a single star graces our sky tonight
The crickets have grown bored of filling our silent spaces
We’re losing time and got to make this right
[Verse 1]
I sing this song to incinerate your skin
Just sing along and... (dance)
Build for us from their ashes
A brand new city
Set fire to your matches
Dowse them in gasoline
[Pre-Chorus]
Rebuilding skyscrapers from broken glass and broken souls
Ain't got no blueprint just a purpose and a wrecking ball
[Chorus]
Brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view
[Verse 2]
Let the sun just incinerate your skin
To start all over
Rebuild what they destroyed (Destroyed!)
Make weapons of your voice (Your voice!)
Whatever they employ, I’ll exploit, make null and void
[Pre-Chorus]
Rebuilding skyscrapers from broken glass and broken souls
Ain't got no blueprint just a purpose and a wrecking ball
[Chorus]
Brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view
Oh, brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view
[Bridge]
I set all of these fires
But now I’m the one who’s all burnt out
Why is it so hard to fight for what's right
I’m breaking down
And what if I stepped out of this ring
I abandoned everything
I can’t carry this team
Marching along in single file
(This team, this team!)
Surrendering their lives
(This team)
[Chorus 2]
Pitch black clouds shadow the burning sun
But I won’t let these vultures think that they have won
I’ll be the last one standing when the end’s begun
I’ll hide away so I don’t have to run
[Chorus]
Brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view
Oh, brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view

Whose Eye Is Anyway???
02:43
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
My head is overflowing, with these thoughts
That if I return the favor you might understand
But I know, I know you could never carry the burden you’ve left me with and I can’t give it back
So why even try?
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m reeling from all of the pain
I feel it making me insane
[Chorus]
If it’s an eye for an eye then we all go blind
If it came to it would you cross that line?
With the taste of the blood on your tongue like wine
And the weight of your crimes weighing on your mind
It’s an eye for an eye and we all go blind again
[Verse 2]
An arm and a leg, my friend, les yeux d'la tete
I never give as much as I get
This path of heart attacks is paved with folks who only gave their enemies what they had coming
I don’t know if it’s worth it
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m reeling from all of the pain
(I’m reeling from all of the pain)
I feel it making me insane
(I feel it making me insane!)
[Chorus]
If it’s an eye for an eye then we all go blind
If it came to it would you walk that line?
With the taste of the blood on your tongue like wine
And the weight of your crimes weighing on your mind
Is it a knife or a lie is it in your back
Is it all I need? Is it all I have?
Will it bring me the peace that I need so desperately?
Will I see?
It’s an eye for an eye and we all go blind again
[Bridge]
When you seek vengeance you must dig two graves
(Eye for an eye, we all blind)
(Eye for an eye, we all blind)
(Eye for an eye, we all blind)
(Eye for an eye, we all blind)
(Eye for an eye, we all blind)
[Chorus]
If it’s an eye for an eye then we all go blind
If it came to it would you walk that line?
With the taste of the blood on your tongue like wine
And the weight of your crimes weighing on your mind
Is it a knife or a lie is it in your back?
Is it all I need? Is it all I have?
Will it bring me the peace that I need so desperately?
Will I see?
It’s an eye for an eye and we all go blind again

To Take For Granted.
05:00
|
|||
|
[Chorus]
I don’t take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don’t take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don’t take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it’s planted, they could easily take me down
[Verse 1]
Why can't I get through
Why can't I get through
Why can't I get through to you
You’ll never understand till it’s gone and there’s blood on your hands
Well I know damn well what I give is what I oughta get
But what if what I give is something I alone possess
[Pre-Chorus]
The world could turn itself on its head
It could turn clockwise instead
The earth could spin to west
[Chorus]
I don’t take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don’t take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don’t take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it’s planted, they could easily take me down
[Post-Chorus]
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Just don’t you take me for granted
[Verse 2]
The air in my lungs
It never comes easily
Sometimes my throat constricts and I cannot breathe
I wheeze and pray for a gasp of fresh air
A slip of the tongue
Could rattle a house of cards
Like a snake, suffocate, asphyxiate
There’s no fix, too late
Tipping over, but you seem sober
So where’d that judgment go?
[Pre-Chorus]
The world could turn itself on its head
It could turn clockwise instead
The earth could spin to west
[Chorus]
I don’t take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don’t take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don’t take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it’s planted, they could easily take me down
[Bridge]
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take a photo while you can
We won’t be here for long
Lonely wolf keeps friends as lambs
Starves when they are gone
[Chorus]
I don’t take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don’t take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don’t take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it’s planted, they could easily take me down
I don’t take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don’t take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don’t take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it’s planted, they could easily take me down
[Outro]
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Just don’t you take me for granted

[Verse 1]
The world has turned itself on it’s head
The trees don’t grow they kill instead
Where hope once was the light’s turned black
We find find faith in the strangest places
[Pre-Chorus]
The marchers walk the streets in reverse with their heads down
Blind to the color they’ve painted this town
They stare at mirrors, wearing masks
And prudently perform their task
[Chorus]
They march along in single file
Surrendering their sense of style
Happily police the streets
With vacant eyes and plastic smiles
[Verse 2]
How can you watch our castles crumble down?
(Stand in the ashes of your city that burned to the ground)
I’m wonderin' where I heard this
“You said you'd give me purpose”
[Pre-Chorus]
The marchers walk the streets in reverse with their heads down
Blind to the color they’ve painted this town
They stare at mirrors, wearing masks
And prudently perform their task
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
They march along in single file
Surrendering their sense of style
Happily police the streets
With vacant eyes and plastic smiles
March along in single file
Surrendering their sense of style
Happily police the streets
With vacant eyes and plastic smiles
[Bridge]
The uniform will set you free
Close your eyes and you will see
They’ll soon do to you what they’ve done to me
[Chorus]
They march along in single file
Surrendering their sense of style
(To me)
Happily police the streets
With vacant eyes and plastic smiles
(To me)
March along in single file
Surrendering their sense of style
(Me)
Happily police the streets
With vacant eyes and plastic smiles

Reverse (Piano Version)

[Verse 1]
I’m only here to kill my own confusion
I found a backdoor but no solution
Lying here while the sands fall down
Won't heal my hands right now or their blue contusions
I’m on a hell-bound elevator
When I got on I never planned for it to be this way
I burnt out the white hot flame inside me
Now my skin is scorched to ashes
And I’m burning in the flame
[Chorus]
I wish I could reverse, reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I’m thinking I might get off and just turn back
[Verse 2]
I’m starting to see that the world is gonna end without me
I don’t wanna let it pass me by
I don’t wanna die here in this hole
I won’t fade away
I’ll detonate my soul
[Chorus]
I wish I could reverse, reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I’m thinking I might get off and just turn back
I wish I could Reverse, Reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I’m thinking I might get off and just turn back
[Bridge]
Then a fire started in the hallway
And the smoke rose to the sky
I looked inside myself and asked my ego why
If ashes turn to cities and the stars into the moon
Then why am I inside of my own mind?
[Chorus]
I wish I could reverse, reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I’m thinking I might get off and just turn back
Reverse, reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I’m thinking I might get off and just turn back
[Outro]
I wish I could reverse, reverse
My time is running out
Because these words, they burn
And scorch inside my mouth
I’m mashing the buttons on the wall
I’m realizing that this car only goes down
