Don't wait for, a knight in shining armor
Your savior's, reflected in the mirror
These flowers, have grown from bloodstains on the ground
Go rake them, leaves off your grass and my grave
The fact is, everyone bleeds when they shave
There's no use, so don't deny we're just the same

We'll take it back (Broken Dagger! Southern Swagger!)
Voices of violence, voices of violence
We'll take it back (Broken Dagger! Southern Swagger!)
Voice of violence, voices of violence

These cowboys, will ride off in the sunset
Once their toys, have turned another profit
Backfire, these smoking guns will never rest
Unleash the,...

How It Goes

posted by s3ptamber

Everybody is tired and poor and sick of trying
If you see me on the corner
Will you stop or will you splash me
Take a look at what we've become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family on a postcard
Picture perfect, I don't want it

So I hold my breath 'til my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes

Shitty weather, bad timing
Lucky penny glued to the ground
Dirty look from total stranger
Hope you get lost and you're not found
Take a look at what we've become
Nothing more than silhouettes...

Nothing to Lose

posted by s3ptamber

Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
I’d always walk home alone
So I became lifeless
Just like my telephone

There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change

Never played truth or dare
I’d have to check my mirror
To see if I’m still here
My parents had no clue
That I ate all my lunches
Alone in the bathroom

There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t...

Turn Your Back

posted by s3ptamber

And when the clock strikes 12, tell me where you gonna be?
Cleaning up the mess we've made or watching your TV?
And if you have to ask, then you don't have a clue,
There's snow in Arizona while they're bombing in Beirut!

I hope some day...when i'm dead and gone,
We learn to right...everything that's wrong,
With loving hands...turn sick to strong,
Our time will tell...if life goes on, on, on, on, on

When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can't ignore,
You run, run, away! but there's no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don't got no chance to fight,
'Cause you're too...

Definition Of Destiny

posted by s3ptamber

Won't you stop, take a breath
Find a moment to reflect
On the pure and simple choices that we fail to see

From the worst to the best
From the east coast to the west
On a never-ending quest to end our misery

So cut to the chase, it's time to escape
Before it's too late
Yeah pick up the pace, catch up with fate
It's slipping away
So get off my road, no I won't be told
'Cause I got my own (definition of destiny)
Yeah take back control, and don't let it go,
The future's unknown (definition of destiny)
(definition of destiny)

Punch the clock to a own
While our lives are put on hold
When did all our childhood dreams...

Don't Need To Pretend

posted by s3ptamber

Swimming in the dark, we're bound to drift apart
And I just can't go on, pretending we're in love.
We play with matches in the rain but never learn
We try to light it but the fire never burns
You thought that love was just a casting call,
well its our turn to quit before the curtain falls

Don't need to pretend to love me, you don't need to pretend to want me,
You don't need to pretend to need me, we just never were meant to,
Am I wrong?
Am I right?
Have I lost my mind, lost my mind

Now I dance around her heart, like an actor plays the part.
I hit the stage and I get blinded by the light,
I read the script, but I just can't recite the lines
You thought that love was just a casting call,
well its our turn to quit before the curtain falls

Don't need to pretend to love me, we just never were meant to ever be,
You don't need to pretend to love me, we just never were meant to,
Am I wrong?
Am I right?
Have I lost my mind [x2]

So get on with your life 'cause we're just wasting time.

Bloody Nails And Broken Hearts

posted by s3ptamber

Lay down, lay down with your drunken fools,
I never thought you could be so cruel.
And all the rumours I heard were true,
You had another man in the room.
Peel off the bandages from the wound
I still have plenty of scars to prove.
I'm sick of coverin' up the truth,
So now I'm takin' it back from you.

From the start, drew a target on my heart,
So you can throw your poison darts.
You'll never kill, never kill.

You left a trail right from the start,
Of bloody nails and broken hearts.
And you keep tearin' them apart,
With bloody nails and broken hearts.

Yeah!

Now I know fairy tales don't come true,
And Cinderella...

Diamond On A Landmine

posted by s3ptamber

Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh-oh

Slapped my face, slammed the door
A dozen roses lay on the floor
I saw her friends and I was told
She blocked my number from her cell phone
You said we were meant to be
Now this obsession is killing me
Until I have a heart attack
I'll keep on trying to win you back

Alone at last,
I can't wait till we're alone at last
All i wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last

Forever, forever
I'll walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
And I'll never, I'll never
I'll never let it die
Well you'd better watch your step
She's a diamond...

Tears Into Wine

posted by s3ptamber

The gun is loaded when the glass is full
Down the hatch and the trigger's pulled
Off the wagon and back onto the stool
I know that when I stare into your eyes
I can see all the years of lies
Ghosts and demons you never exorcised

All the friends that I've ever known
Are the streetlamps I follow home
And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone

Oh Lord, I just can't
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave that's alright
Well I'll just turn these tears into wine

His fate was written on a neon sign
A DUI never changed his mind
He got hooked like a fish caught on...

Saint Veronika

posted by s3ptamber

They found an empty bottle on her windowsill
The day her mother lost her sleeping pills
She was sick and tired of being invisible
Hard to see in color when you're miserable

Veronika, Saint Veronika
You can't leave this world behind
So be strong enough to hold onto us
We're still right here by your side

No one ever thought that she was capable
And the damage done is irreversible
Now she clings to life inside a hospital
Like she's trapped inside a frozen waterfall
Always said her life was never meant to be
Stuck here living someone else's dream
Well beyond your window there is so much more
Even every prison...

Beachballs

posted by s3ptamber

Do it again
She said to me
So I nailed my hand to the baseboard floor
Hysterically
Laughing at me
She begged the question and I begged for more
Now I water
The thorn you rammed
Deep into my side watch it fertalize
Cause you shoved your finger
Right down my throat
And you made me puke up all of my pride

Pop the Beach Balls
Burn the photos
C-4 your safe
And you'll never grow old
So get out of touch
And become a thought
Cause once you’re a thought, hopefully you're forgot

If we break up
Don’t write a song that would
Drag my name through the shit, the mud
Cause I’ve seen some solid swimmers who drowned
When you...

Burn the Evidence

posted by s3ptamber

In a garage, beside a house, there is a luxury Sedan
And for his next monthly installment,
He's gonna go out with a bang!
Boy who always did what he was told,
Was promised to be king when he was old

Hit the brakes, hit the glass,
Time to shake the hands of fate
The mistakes of the past,
Flashed before his face

There is a man, intensive care
When he awakes he will declare,
"I've been dead for 20 years!
I won't let 20 more go by..."
Boy who always did what he was told,
Bought the only dream that he was sold

Hit the brakes, Hit the glass,
Time to shake the hands of fate
The mistakes of the past,
Flashed before...

Perfect World

posted by s3ptamber

All we shared was a mattress, and a lie, and an address
Baby I don't need you, well baby I don't need you
Once occupied by a goddess, now it's a room full of boxes
She said, "it's time to leave you" but baby I don't need you!
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world... I'd see no therapist
In a perfect world... this wouldn't make me sick

I never got the whole story, not 'til after she left me
Baby I don't need you, well baby I don't need you
Word on the street is she fucked him, while we were playing in Cleveland
Well baby I don't...

Covered in Cowardice

posted by s3ptamber

Twisted tongues will place you in their category
Face to face you'll hear them tell a different story
Loose lips may sink ships, but honesty's forever
Eyes of envy try to cut and try to sever

Cowards that hide behind their words
Don't care whose feelings will get hurt
Beware the voice without a face
That's hidden underneath the...

Where is the Line

posted by s3ptamber

Urban Hipster, the new gangster... frontin' by the club
New wave mannequins packin' haircuts, instead of packin' guns
Magazines form overseas, won't teach you how to feel
They trade in their hearts for indie rock charts to tell them what is real

When did they assume... putting on a costume?
Gave them a right to... ostracize
Out of the woodwork... art aficionados
Answer one question...

Where is the line? Where is the line?
Between your fashion and your mind
Where is the line? Where is the line?
'Cause some of us aren't blind!
Where is the line? Where is the line?
To be your self is not a crime
Where is the...

Prisoners of Today

posted by s3ptamber

I never bit off more than I can chew,
But then she came and bit me
I never bit off more than I can chew but then she bit my leg
She said "dont wanna work I wanna play and live my life like it was Sunday!"
"The only problem is that Sunday only comes now once a week and I'm a freak but..."

We're breaking up the city,
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should we stay,
Prisoners Of Today!

My body's tired, my souls excited and i wish that i was gifted,
My body's tired my soul's excited and I wish I had some spunk,
She said "I wanna run, I wanna hide, and leave this place just like it left me"
"The only...

The Ex

posted by s3ptamber

Well, I looked at her face and then I knew she changed,
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!

So I sat in my room for 27 days,
No she never called, I had something to say!
No she never called, I had something to say!

I don't know much and I don't know how...

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Well, I heard she's great and her new boyfriend's lame,
She can go to hell I'll never be the same!
She can go to hell I'll never be the same!

And these open wounds will heal with time they say,
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!

I don't know much and I don't know how...

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Lies

posted by s3ptamber

Forced conversation
Hidden agenda
You think we're stupid, how dare you
The rug has not been pulled
Over our eyes you fool
We can see right through

Tip-toeing villian
Eyes in the ceiling
Your false intentions have warn thin
But we've been in your room and in your closet too
We've got one on you

Lies make it better
Lies are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies you wake up to
Lies from the alter
Lies make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed
Lies

Inside an office, a fallen angel
A smiling Buddha with snake eyes
Creates the latest trends
And i just cant pretend
Dont call me your friend

When all these...

Try Honesty

posted by s3ptamber

Well I tripped, I fell down naked
Well I scratched my knees, they bled
Sew up my eyes, need no more
In our game there is no score

Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty, Try honesty
Hop in your dumptruck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, Ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, Die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake
Cry Agony, Cry agony

I'm insane, it's your fault, so sly
Your well of lies ran dry
And I cut the cord, free fall
From so high we seem so small'

Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty, Try honesty
Hop in your...
