  • ive got scratches all over my arms...one for each day since i fell apart....

    how quick the sun can drop away....

    if a man cannot control his life,,,will he be driven to control his death?

    one day she stiffened ,took the other side...

    he who forgets will be destined to remember...

    dont mean to push,,,but im being shoved........

    once upon a time i could control myself.
    once upon a time i could love myself.'
    once upon a time i could love you...

    i will wait up in the dark, for you to speak to me. ill open up release meeeee

    try to forget this try to erase this ...from the blackboard..........

    youre still alive she said, oh do i deserve to be ? is that the question and if so if so who answers? who answers?

    i wont be taken,,,,yet ill go....

    omg i could go on and on and on..................

    ... I'll ride the wave...where it takes me....
  • This is gonna take forever....


    all the love gone bad, turned my world to black
    tattooed all i see, all that i am, all i'll ever be...
    i know someday you'll have a beautiful life, i know you'll be a star
    in somebody else's sky, but why
    why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?

    hold my hand, lie beside me i just need to say
    i could not take a-just one day
    i know when i would not ever touch you...hold you...feel you...in my arms...
    never again...

    oh, if i knew where it was i would take you there but there's much more than this

    she holds the hand that holds her down
    she will...rise above...

    escape is never, the safest path

    i gathered speed from you fuckin with me...
    once and for all, i'm far away
    hard to believe, finally the shades are raised...

    i am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends
    i am lost, i'm no guide, but i'm by your side
    i am right by your side...

    i will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
    i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
    i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
    hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind
    i'll swallow poison, until i grow immune
    i will scream my lungs out till it fills this room

    can't escape from the common rule
    if you hate something, don't you do it too

    the smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...

    walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...
    future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
    caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...
    nothingman...

    don't mean to push, but i'm being shoved!
    ohh, i'm just like you, think we've had enough
    i can't believe a thing they want us to...oh...
    oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too...

    i don't want to take what you can give...
    i would rather starve than eat your bread...

    an empty shells seem so easy to crack
    got all these questions don't know who i could even ask
    so i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream
    where i'm not ugly and your lookin' at me
    and i stare you back
    oh blue eyes, i've seen it
    if just once i could feel love
    oh stare back at me, yeah..

    i sometimes realize i could only be as good as you'll let me
    are you woman enough to be my man?

    up here so high the sky i scrape
    had my eyes peeled both wide open, and i got a glimpse
    of my innocence... got back my inner sense...

    you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense

    and he still gives his love, he just gives it away;
    the love he recieves is the love that is saved
    and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
    a human being that was given to fly...

    wish i was the pedal brake that you depended upon
    i wish i was the verb to trust that never let you down

    yeah she's her own disease, crying to her doll
    but only love...can break her fall

    we were but stones, your light made us stars
    no time to be void or save up on life
    you got to spend it all..

    i'm there, let yourself fall, i'm right below you now

    love is a tower, of strength to me
    i am the shoreline, but you're the sea

    the man they call my enemy, i've seen his eyes
    he looks just like me, a mirror

    and if hope could grow from dirt like me
    it can be done

    change don't come at once
    it's a wave building before it breaks
    can't wait for election day
    witness the occupation
    corporations rule the day
    well you know the pendulum throws
    farther out to the one side, swinging
    has to sweep back the other way

    it's not the same without you up here
    can't find my wheels
    your absence is what breeds this fear
    warm breath and all it steals

    i got scratches, all over my arms
    one for each day, since i fell apart


    Wow...that's a ton of amazing lyrics.
    "I'll do whatever the song dictates - if it doesn't need a real lead, then I won't do one. But if it does, then I'll fuckin' go off." - Mike

    "Japan is awesome; the fans there knew all the words to all the songs...at least phonetically." - Stone

    "I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV
