Bane

(rumble, young man, rumble) how many more days will you sit and talk about your ambitions all that you can be the person you are dying to be the place you want to get to but always out of reach before that fury swells inside of you grows so big that i...

the last thing that i want to do right now is scream one more line about the words that fall from your mouth landing somewhere just short of my feet some long, sad, boring list of let downs that i have talked about a thousand times before some spark i th...

Searching, sifting, dying to find the worst in everything around you. All that's wrong is all that you fuckin' see because its all that you look for. But you won't wallow in your doom alone you've got to ruin it for everyone. With words that belittle the...

(play the fife lowly) i just cannot stop asking why, always why running and running wandering and wondering no matter how many years fly by screaming "who, what and when" like some crazed eight year old who needs to know everything in a world so fill...

Can we start again Go back to what it meant back then Open minds and open hearts The things that set us apart Was it more than words And do they still apply And do you still believe Well so do I I was a 15 year old kid With nowhere to fit in I just w...

I can still see the reasons that I opened my eyes to this scene in the first place. I can still feel my beleifs growing stronger - stronger everyday. I can still count the ways but for you its all over. The feeling is gone and you're moving on and tearing...

I wish that I could spread my arms so wide That I could wrap them around everyone I've ever known and loved Protect them from the crashing waves The storms that will take us all one at a time The unheard goodbyes that we are never ready to whisper Turning...

Who was it who asked about the last mile being the hardest mile Trying not to spend more time looking back There's still a bit more to go Can't stop measureing strike outs to home runs Trying to justify these compromises that have piled up and dulled my bl...

Holding this moment in the palm of my hands This thing still means so much to me Beliefs that have stood the test of time A force that surrounds us Penetrates us Binds us all together These days belong to us It's in the things that we said All...

What have you done Look at what you have done Screaming words of venom Right in your daughters face Take the time to show her That all her thoughts were wrong Shape her in your image Just as somebody did to you And if this is how you do it When...

So for the first four months it was bad And certainly best for you that I didn't Carry a gun or know where you lay your head at night And it was not her as everyone had thought But you, how easily you were able to turn away From all that we were Those t...

How did I not know that your words meant less than dust And were born of an idea that you had heard but having Nothing in common with truth or with trust Everything that you swore so quickly snatched away And me left without a heart and nothing to hold ont...

TELL ME that I am not wasting my time sitting in this room alone TELL ME that 1000 men with 1000 torches could not take what is in our hearts TELL ME that this is still for the kids, by the kids, about the fucking kids TELL ME that we have not become just a...

Welcome to the day that you opened your eyes So wide that it nearly took your life away And you are finally seeing all the things That you have been missing Could it really be that you have been so blind Or just merely looking the other way Today the wor...

No matter how much I say that I've learned life's lessons, the only way to ever really know life's lessons is when it smacks you right in the face (life smacks you in the face) Rubberband stretched to the limit, but still I cannot help but pull it just a...

Again- again left with this lesson that is not mine to learn Tears regret and painful questions it smashes your spine Steals all that time And takes the eyes right out of your head But we don't point a finger Nobody says a word But it rips us apart...

There are no words Nothing can ever be said To make sense of the exit that you made Or this sadness forced on our lap Left us struck with these haunting questions Where are all the beautiful answers Where is the button to push that takes it all back I s...

This is my therapy You breathe life into me My only sanity Within these walls is where I'm free Square peg, round hole Faces come and faces go There is so little cast in stone Regarding life, luck, loss, love But there is one thing that I know for sur...

I'm in the big blind With an average stack and aggressive image The four seat limps right after me, never a good sign He's been beating up the table showing down strong cards all night The maniac in the nine throws in another raise, he loves to raise Conf...

Would you believe that the last time these skinned knees healed It no longer amazed me like it used to and I hate to say it but... Things they suddenly made a simple kind of sense The horror, the mad ness, the helplessness of it all That there is indeed be...

Will not back down now I've got no place else to run and hide to Have come too far to buckle now Can't lay this one down to the likes of you And I don't say that with some bullshit sense of pride I need you to know that I'm not done screaming About whet...

all swelled with pride, your chest blown out face the flag as you declare "we are the greatest country in the world richest, smartest, most advanced... who can keep up with us?" and where has it gotten us? take a look around as miserable as we have ever...

You go on without me I'll hold right here. That gleam in your eyes, it still fills me with fear. The more you see that I'm not like the others the harder you try to take my hand in yours. Cold grey and callous, reaching out for me. Whatever's over that th...

your garbage it is growing and your weapons and rebellions were charged on daddy's card to all your baffled looks we didn't choose to do this the hard way but we scream our lungs and we raise our glasses to all the girls, and all the boys with the firs...

out on the road little boys let their beards grow oh so busy talking about the things that we don't know all done worrying about the things we used to be (i'm too busy finding out what i'm gonna be) and finding weapons of mass destruction to combat this b...

fuck yeah i am still holding on making mountains out of molehills trading moments in for memories these days still mean everything to me days that could've so easily been ignored by you so many hours through scorching desert man, how can i say this...

Calling you out for the last time Come show your face for the first time I've got a head full of questions And a busted heart filled with lies Won't spend one second on my knees Will not be thankful for what I have not asked for Or apologize for hating...

("i've gone out the window") i raise this broken halo to the sky this is the storm that strands me here stopped waiting for a golden ship to rescue me this is the only age that i know how to be till make pretend that i'm in the movie of my life stopped l...

She rolls her eyes and lights another. "One day I'll quit these things they're killing me" She blows her brains right out her fucking mouth "I just don't know how you do it" Well, there is nothing in me that you don't have deep within your fucking self....

Today won't be like yesterday The bell tolled for an hour straight Screaming mothers chased their chidren down Fathers tear out their eyes As the city crumbled to the ground Outside the streets are in a panic Truth sellers jump from tall, tall ledges N...

...and did i mention that there are still those days where i can hardly lift my head up from the pillow or looking out the window of the plane rooting for disaster sometimes i just run out of reasons but the clock keeps ticking and the minutes keep coming...

So this is it Here it is, moment of truth The one you've always heard about Everything around you stops to hold its breath And your heart slows to a thump There's a lion in your gut (you've got to listen) Lying still in you for so long (you've got to lis...

We just can't go on No not like this The center will not hold So many voices with so much to say But frozen when it's time to lift a finger And fix what has been broken for so long You have not taken one true step towards leaving the Pettiness that you...

Hey, I was just thinking that maybe you don't need to waste Some of the best days of your lives, trying so hard to abide By some preset list of rules Talking about conviction When you haven't even been convinced of anything yet Just stressing about lettin...

we are only brave enough to fight the battles already won for us and spend more time with our hair than we do our minds while the girls and the young and the lost are kicked off to the side our armies in fractions because our kings are so foolish we will...

What keeps us here Is a few shining lights Who brighten our paths Whenever we roll through Its more than music Not part of some crew It won't last forever But it's thicker than blood The best reason I can think of to have come all this way What keep...

Reasons not rules Six simple words A wise man sang to me So many years ago Stood by me through All of life's changes The only advice that I have to give REASONS NOT RULES MAKE US STRONG 

Probably never shoulda even opened my mouth And I had no right to say what anything meant to you I'm still trying to figure out what it all meant to me We all know sometimes I speak too quickly Been known for choosing all the wrong words Seems I wasn't ve...

"Wrong Planet" …So a wandering ronin I became With a dripping blade and honor over everything Uncomfortable in my own skin Bound to sleepless nights and endless roads Demon's in my very head If you look, you can see me Grasping for a world that makes s...
