Tryin' to reinvent myself in a fucked up world Watching CNN doing 12 once curls I said yeah The antichrist is screaming from the wide screen He's living in a mansion near the hollywood sign Another right wing cat getting busted for blow He's cheating on...

Of rags and bones. Rusty old wheels on a cobblestone street. Everything I own. Follows me round like a ghost that won't leave me alone. Even sticks and stones. Can't leave a mark on this spirit of steel. Have you really grown. When you come back bleeding from...

I’m holding on to the dreams I had when I was young, I guess I never saw that things were wrong, The game has changed and where once was fact ain't where it's at, I never really felt like I belonged I was thinking how we might have been If things had sta...

There is something wrong with the song that you sing it's really about yourself Just a hate for the sake of the thing You wish you were someone else It doesn't take a crystal ball to see you kinda psycho every home your evolution is back to unfold you...

I feel a change coming over me It seems I felt this way before I sense the sound your eyes won't let you see I can't take it anymore Crashing windows, crash Laughing voices, keep on laughing, Oh, Oh, Oh Stop for a minute [Chorus:] I chase the shadows and lig...

Don't forgive me when I'm gone Please forgive me if I was wrong Find the strenght to carry on Don't forgive me when I'm gone Woke up this morning With an emptiness inside my heart That never dies No one seems to care at all 10,000 miles away, tears i...

Cruisin' down the street Got the glaze in my eyes Lookin' for a thousand reasons why I don't want to be here I don't want to die What was I thinking we should have known All the lights are one But there's nobody home Drive a crooked road Stop inside a liquor...

As the sun breaks down through the auburn haze to an empty town All the rusted cars, the dissarray, not a soul around It's the end result of a poison past, and it won't be long Till there's no one left to eat or breathe That’s the road we’re on So,...

World of fear Dying sun Amber tears Wars to be won World grown old Lost to man All alone All but forgotten Same extinction blues You've heard before the Same old news You and I Last chance Age of ice Frozen romance Time repeats Death to life Heartbeats Save...

Night after night, day after day. I pass by the house that once was our home. I look through the windows, I lean on the bell. There's a light but there's no sign of you. The stranger's new car in the driveway tells me your there. I know you're there. I feel li...

We were told how the story should go Strangers in time fighting ancient foes And that only the way we perceive it Has changed, it still remains Somehow it's always right against wrong Always the chance of temptation But it's never as simple as black or white D...

Just another day, just another moment I really miss the touch of your hand My broken heart it bleeds So now i must concede That it's over now I don't understand, why we didn't make it It seemed so right so many years ago My empty soul it cries No matt...

Smoke-colored LA sky Hand covers up your sleepless eyes As morning creeps in Passed out there on my couch Wearing the face of down and out My long lost friend Three cups of coffee and you'll be on your way Until this time tomorrow you come crawling Back again...

Never should rush into things. Shouldn't spill the wine before its time. Wait and see what fortune brings. Waste away till you can't see the signs. Always taught to play it safe. Wouldn't stick your neck out if you could. Everything is in its place. Might as w...

Queen of Hearts and Sister Vanity. Took me by the hand to show me royalty. In this castle so many things to see. And all I could become, a knight wasted away. {Chorus:} I said Ooh ooh...it's not any thing you did to me. It's not what you made me feel I did to...
