LIGHTS OUT
Know what I want and I know how to get it fast
I’ve waited so long and she knows I can make it last
Insane I don’t mean to tune you out
The voice inside is screaming way too loud
I don’t pretend to know what it’s about
I’m just a slave to the voice that screams so loud
Lights Out, Come home get it on
My heart is beating to the beat of the song
Lights Out, Come home get it on
My mind is racing to the speed of the song
Lived like a God till you smack me back down in size
If your trying too hard girl you ain’t going to get it right
No peace for the masochistic mind
I know you hear me because I know you know the kind
It eats us up for a day or two
It’s not enough no matter what you do
Lights Out, Come home get it on
My heart is beating to the beat of the song
Lights Out, Come home get it on
My mind is racing to the speed of the song
Shine like the sun for the ones who are in the dark
If you feel that its real then the love helps you get it right
And you’ll never ever say goodbye
Chorus Outro
SANITY
We’ve reached the cruising speed
Altitude 10,000 feet
So near the atmosphere
Throw away the landing gear
Love is touching down. It makes a sound
Cant hold it down, its coming ‘round
Mama throw away your sanity
Give me the desire to feel
Mama throw away your sanity
Trading it for something real
Watching the world, so far
Your past life seems so small
Through space we travel on
To Mars from Babylon
Love is touching down
it makes a sound
Cant hold it down, its coming ‘round
Mama throw away your sanity
Give me the desire to feel
Mama throw away your sanity
Trading it for something real
They showed me to the river to drink
Was the only source of water around
I saw myself and I started to think
The answer to the question lies underground
Mama throw away your sanity
Give me the desire to feel
Mama throw away your sanity
Trading it for something real
I'm ready to defy your gravity
Is that all you got for me?
Mama don’t you throw it away
FACE TO FACE
So here we are now face to face
Time to reveal your fall from grace
You let me bleed
You laughed while I cried
There’s one way to live
But a million to die
Feel my eyes burn
You can’t deny who you really are
Face to Face
I came to you with love dear friend
Yet you still hurt us all again
Do you think you can test me and tear me apart?
Don’t you know that the memories are still in my heart
So smile in my face
And tell me your lies
See your life sinking
And ask yourself why
Feel my eyes burn
You can’t deny who you really are
Face to Face
OH MAN, YOU HAVE NO IDEA
POOR SOUL YOU JUST ARENT REAL TO ME
OH MAN YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!
ABSENCE
Cause in this lonely room, I wait for you
Give me faith. Give me room to breathe
I can’t see you, even when I dream
Give me hope, something to be
Can’t stop bleeding even when I sleep
Cause in your fragile world I want to live again
And in this lonely room, I wait for you
And in this desperate hour, I call on you
You gave me love you gave me peace inside
A life worth living , answer to the cries
But now I’m hopelessly losing hope again
And in this empty world I long to live again.
And in this lonely room, I wait for you
And in this desperate hour, I call on you
And in this world of lies, you show me the truth
And with these blinded eyes, I’ll search for you
I’m scattered, worn and battered from the thought of losing you my friend.
Give me faith in this sea of lies
I watched you glisten through the darkest skies
In the absence we will find our love again
And in this lonely room, I wait for you
And in this desperate hour, I call on you
And in this world of lies, you show me the truth
And with these blinded eyes, I’ll search for you
RADIO
I just want to close my eyes to the world
I need to spend the night with you girl
So give me a reason for today
Release the tension when you play
Let it go let it go let it go, Go all the way
Hear it on the radio one more time
See it on the video, don’t rewind
Give me something sacred for my mind to help me in the meantime
I just want to spend the night back in time
And bring the sounds to life from my mind
So give me a reason for today
Blow it up and drive away
Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow, grow all the way
Hear it on the radio one more time
See it on the video, don’t rewind
Give me something sacred for my mind to help me in the meantime
The love we feel will light the way
The love we feel will light the way
Chorus outro
SKY
Tilt your head back to the sky
Tilt your head back close your eyes
Now she’s smiling with tears on her face
Tilt your head back girl and fly
Tilt your head back to the sky
Tilt your head back wonder why
Now remind me, no need for this place
Tilt your head back girl and ride
And her song is all I need
As she whispers in my ear
You don’t mean anything anymore to me
You’re making everything impossible to see
There’s a war inside my head
Feels like I’m going crazy
I think she’s going to break me
I think she’s going to break me down
Tilt your head back to the sky
Tilt your head back close your eyes
Now she’s smiling with tears on her face
Tilt your head back girl and fly
Now a song is all I hear
As she whispers in my ear
You don’t mean anything anymore to me
You’re making everything impossible to see
There’s a war inside my head
Feels like I’m going crazy
I think she’s going to break me
I think she’s going to break me down
I think she’s going to break me
Now my arms are hanging free
As I long to find release
And her song is all I hear
As she whispers in my ear
You don’t mean anything anymore to me
You’re making everything impossible to see
There’s a war inside my head
Feels like I’m going crazy
I think she’s going to break me
I think she’s going to break me down
BULLET FOR YOUR LIES
Spoke to a man today
He said his name was “Change”
His story seemed a little strange
The family’s in the dark
A soldier bleeds with no heart
A broken man always gets what he wants
Tell us who you are
Tell us what you mean
Tell us what you really need
Tell us just how far
Tell us what we’ll be
Tell us what you really see
We’re living in a time,
Where people pay no mind
And greedy pigs keep getting fatter
His tone was serious,
He said, “I’ve had enough.
I think it’s for us to get some answers”
Tell us who you are
Tell us what you mean
Tell us what you really need
Tell us just how far
Tell us what we’ll be
Tell us what you really see
Made his way into the room and tied him down
A Pistol to his face, they never really heard a sound
Pass security, he’s almost in the clear
To take back our minds and the truth
Woke up from the lie
Woke up with a scar
The truth to who we really are
Chorus outro
BLACK STRAIGHT JACKET
It’s after midnight mama and you know I don’t want to talk
Put down the telephone baby cause you know I’m running hot
So move like you do and make it so you get up close to me
We’ll do what we do and take it to the place that’s meant to be
Whoa I’m shit out of luck
I go insane in a black straight jacket
I’m going to crazy till you do me like you do
I throw your ripped jeans baby on the bed then on the floor
Now we make all the noise that you did the night before
My body’s drained cause she used up every drop
She’s like a rolling train and you know we don’t ever stop
So move like you do and make it so you get up close to me
We’ll do what we do and take it to the place that’s meant to be
Whoa I’m shit out of luck
I go insane in a black straight jacket
I’m going to crazy till you do me like you do
I want a heartbreaker that can make me see the light
If you want to get down your knees, I can make you believe in me all night
6 a.m. still gotta to get you home
Get you there if I can only see the road
She stares me down, smiles with an evil laugh
And my fucked head and the scratches down my back
Chorus outro
SHALLOW
Spent all night drinking ‘bout the last thing that you said
Words run like poison through these thoughts inside my head
I can not live with all this weight up on my chest
I don’t want to treat you like I treated all the rest
Give me something more to believe and I will make you feel it
I just want something to be and I will make you see
I know that your love ain’t for free
I’ll never make you feel Shallow
I can’t believe that this is happening to me
Nobody’s perfect but I really want to be
We’ve come so far now baby there is no excuse
The stories that you heard are all the lies you use
And every time you lose
Give me something more to believe and I will make you feel it
I just want something to be and I will make you see
I know that your love ain’t for free
I’ll never make you feel Shallow
