Ride with me, she said
Let's get gone
We're no good this way
Barely hanging on
There's no pot of gold
For sticking out another year
In a picture show that no one pictured
A hell that no one feared.
Why are we the ones who have to care?
Why don't we just vanish in thin air?
I'm not strong enough to carry
It's not our fault, so let's be on our merry way
Let's give up today.
All behind us, she said
Clear ahead
They won't even miss us,
Never heard a word we said.
It's their world that they created
And they're not gonna change
They're the ones who lied and hated
Terrified by strange
Why are we the ones who have to care?
Why don't we just vanish in thin air?
They built a world where they are ruling
Why should we endure their drooling power play?
Let's get out today
Why are we the ones who have to care?
Why don't we just vanish in thin air?
I hope that hope prevails at last
But this all moves too fast to lose another day
Let's give up today
Let's give up today
Let's give up

Executioner's Song
04:36

I am my own father
My own right hand
Don’t lead this horse to water
Don’t make demands
Cause I wasn’t made for this kind of ride
I can’t get on board, I can’t pick a side
I won’t let you mold me in this cage.
So, lightning crackles, sparks they fly around me
So, light this candle, cure this life of travesty
Everyone gather ‘round now to watch me die
Don’t tell me you don’t know that it’s the best thing for you and I
I spit on your morals
Ignored them all
I stood on my laurels
And didn’t see the wall
I never got well, I never got right
Cause I never wanted to give up this fight
Against no one, anyone, everyone I could find
So lightning crackles, sparks they fly around me
So light this candle, cure this life of travesty
Everyone gather ‘round now to watch me die
Don’t tell me you don’t know that it’s the best thing for you and I
I’m on fire, now it’s over
Everyone gather ‘round now and watch me die
Don’t tell me you don’t know that it’s the best thing for you and I
Everyone gather ‘round now to see my last ride
Maybe someday you’ll see me in another life

Senseless

I feel that I'm fading and losing my sight
I'm slipping away, I'm crashing my flight
i'm dreaming up everything I didn't say
and I want a do over, I want a new day
Lift me up into you
Pass right through you
Slap me senseless
I'm not beaten yet.
Who are these people that ruin my day
They stomp through my head, I can't get away
I waste all my hours just craning my neck
To see something that's missing, that made me this wreck
Lift me up into you
Pass right through you
Slap me senseless
I'm not beaten yet
I'm not beaten yet
I feel that I'm caving, content just to crawl
The futile old chains of regret for it all
Cause clutching at failure keeps minds occupied
so you don't have to think and don't have to lie
Lift me up into you
Pass right through you
Slap me senseless
I'm not done dreaming yet
I'm not done dreaming yet

Supernova

I want it all
Everything that life can throw me
I want to rise and fall
Like a flaming rollercoaster
I don't want to die
Thinking melancholy beat me
I want to put memories in my head because
No one gets out alive
No one gets any more time
I'm alive
A half century gone
Poof! Like Keyser Soze's footsteps
And what have I done?
Nothing much worth mentioning yet
But time marches on
But I don't much like marching with it
I still feel young
I want to reinvent myself 'cause
No one gets out alive
No one gets any more time
I'm alive
Mae said to do it right and one's all you need
But everything flies by at breakneck speed
I want to stick around and see how this all ends
If we survive until the supernova does us all in
When it's time to go
I'm gonna kick and scream about it
But this of death I know
Nothing means a thing without it
I don't place my hope
In any phony after life
But I'm not done yet
I've got to make it happen now 'cause
No one gets out alive
No one gets any more time
I'm alive

Kick My Tires
05:20
|
|||
|
Too many voices go racing around in my head
I can’t cut through the noise and indecision just puts me to bed
Virtual strangers pass judgement on me and everything I do
My entire life’s on trial by the whimsy of you
So kick my tires
Uncross my wires
I can’t claim significance when I don’t even control my next move
What’s the point of anything if you need someone else to approve
There’s a piece of me missing, some Freudian stage that I failed to get through
I can’t love myself if I’m always beholden to you
So kick my tires
Uncross my wires
I think it’s past time for me to get up and take hold of the wheel
I won’t live according to Hoyle, I’m ready to deal
So kick my tires
Uncross my wires

I gotta scream tonight
No matter wrong or right
I gotta finally say
What I feel now
I can't continue, can't stay cold
Can't quench this lightning in my soul
I'll spit my venom hard this time
Scratch and claw to make that climb
Somebody, amplify me
Amplify me
Amplify me
Amplify me
When everybody screams
Nobody hears a thing
Chaos, greed and fear
And nothing is clear now
With all we crave and all we vent
It never makes the slightest dent
I need more power, need more sway
I need to crash this endless gray
Why won't you amplify me?
Amplify me
Amplify me
Amplify me
I'll take your lives into my hands
Hurt you 'til you understand
I'll press my facе on your front page
Make you taste my еndless rage
Come on and amplify me
Amplify me
Amplify me
Amplify me
I'll make you taste my endless rage
I'll press my face on your front page
I'll make you face it
I gotta scream tonight

Bravado
04:24

If we burn our wings
Flying too close to the sun
If the moment of glory
Is over before it's begun
If the dream is won
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost
When the dust has cleared
And victory denied
A summit too lofty
River a little too wide
If we keep our pride
Though paradise is lost
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost
And if the music stops
There's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory
All the sacrifice in vain
And if love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost
And if love remains, though everything is lost
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost
And if love remains

Come Alive
04:47

Well you know that I want to tell you there’s more somewhere
But I just can’t believe that’s true, I can’t get my head there
I look on with horror when charlatans promise us answered prayers
I don’t have an answer, but I swear sometimes it seems that it’s just sitting there
There’s nothing more I need to know
To find the meaning of this show
I think I owe myself a try
I think it’s time to come alive
Well I know that lots of you think this is blasphemy
Will you stone your own children too ‘cause of a book you read
I get the whole story, forgiveness and loving and charity
But I just can’t believe that the answer is waiting for a place you have to die to see
There’s nothing more we need to know
To find the meaning of this show
I think we owe ourselves to try
I think it’s time to come alive
There’s nothing more you need to know
To find the meaning of this show
I think you owe yourself a try
I think it’s time to come alive

Finito?

Here I lie
The end of the line
But I don’t mind
I lived a long time
I saw fire
And I saw light
I saw you look at me like no one else
No one knows how long it will be
There’s always more that we’d like to see
But I’m ok with just about everything
But I can’t help from asking just one last thing
I hope that this all starts over again
I hope that I’ll get to be with you again
