2. the anthem
It?s a new day, but it all feels old It?s a good life, that?s what I?m told But everything, it all just feels the same And my high school, it felt more to me Like a jail cell, a penitentiary My time spent there, it only made me see That I don?t ever wanna be like you I don?t wanna do the things you do I?m never gonna hear the words you say ?cause I don?t ever wanna, I don?t ever wanna be You...don?t wanna be just like you What I?m sayin? is this is the anthem throw all your hands up, you, don?t wanna be you "go to college, a university, get a real job," That?s what they said to me But I could never live the way they want I?m gonna get by and just do my time, out of step while they all get in line I?m just a minor threat so pay no mind Do you really wanna be like them, do you really wanna be another trend? Do you wanna be part of their crowd? ?cause I don?t ever wanna, no I don?t ever wanna be You...don?t wanna be just like you What I?m sayin? is this is the anthem throw all your hands up, you, don?t wanna be you Shake it once, that?s fine Shake it twice, that?s okay Shake it three times, you?re playing with yourself again You...don?t wanna be just like you What I?m sayin? is this is the anthem throw all your hands up, Y?all got to feel me, sing if you?re with me, you, don?t wanna be just like you (just like you) This is the anthem throw all your hands up, y?all got to feel me, sing if you?re with me Another loser anthem (whoa-oh) Another loser anthem (whoa-oh) Another loser anthem (whoa-oh) Another loser anthem (whoa-oh)

5.the story of my old man

I dont know too much, too much of my old man. I know he walked right out the door and we never saw him again. Last I heard he was at the bar doing himself in. I know I got that same disease, I guess I got that from him. This is the story of my old man, just like his father before him. Im telling you do anything you can, so you don't end up just like them, like them. Monday he woke up and hated life, drank until Wednesday and left his wife. Thursday thru Saturday lost everything, woke up on Sunday miserable again. I rememeber baseball games and working on the car. He told me that he loved me and that I would go far. Showed me how to work hard and stick up for my-self, I wish he wasn't too hard to listen to himself. This is the story of my old man, just like his father before him. Im telling you do anything you can, so you don't end up just like them, like them. Monday he woke up and hated life, drank until Wednesday and left his wife. Thursday thru Saturday lost everything, woke up on Sunday miserable again...again...again. Someday he'll wish that he made things right(made things right),long for his family and miss his wife(miss his wife),remember the days he had everything(everything),now hes alone and miserable again.

the Chronicles of Life and Death

#1. Once upon a time: the battle of life and death

(Life Life Life)
(It dies It dies It dies)

(Life Life Life)
(It dies It dies It dies)

(That raise, death, being born, it dies)
(That raise, death, being born, it dies)

(The vampire lives eternally, it was promised)

(That raise, death, being born, it dies)

#2. The chronicles of life and death

You come in cold,
You're covered in blood.
They're all so happy you've arrived.
The doctor cuts your chord.
He hands you to your mom.
She sets you free into this life.
And where do you go with no destination, no maps to guide you.
Wouldn't you know that it doesn't matter, we all end up the same.

These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the best day of your life.

And money talks in this world,
Thats what idiots will say
But you'll find out that this world,
Is just an idiots parade
Before you go, you've got some questions.
And you want answers
But now you’re old, cold, covered in blood,
right back to where you started from

These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.

#3. S.O.S.
Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
I'm shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening
Listening

I've been stranded here and I'm miles away
Making signals hoping they'd save me
I lock myself inside these walls
'Cause out there I'm always wrong
I don't think I'm gonna make it
So while I'm sitting here
On the eve of my defeat
I'll write this letter and hope it saves me

Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening
Listening

I'm stuck in my own head and I'm oceans away
Would anybody notice if I chose to stay?
I'll send an SOS tonight
Wonder if I will survive
How in the hell did I get so far away this time
So now I'm sitting here
The time of my departure's near
I say a prayer
Please someone save me

Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening
Listening

I'm lost here
I can't make it on my own
I don't wanna die alone
I'm so scared
Drowning now
Reaching out
Holding on to everything I love
Crying out
Dying now
Need some help

Is anybody listening?
Can you hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?

#5. I Just Wanna Live
I need an alarm system in my house
So I know when people are
Creeping about
These people are
Freaking me out (these days)

It’s getting hectic everywhere that I go
They won’t leave me alone
There’s things they all wanna know
I'm paranoid of all the people I meet
Why are they talking to me?
And why can’t anyone see

I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live
Just wanna live [x7]

I rock a
Lawsuit when I’m going to court
A white suit when I’m gettin’ divorced
A black suit at the funeral home
And my birthday suit when I’m home alone
Talkin’ on the phone
Got an interview
With the rolling stone
They’re saying
“Now you’re rich and
Now you’re famous
And fake ass girls all know your names and
(Lifestyles) of the rich and famous
Your first hit are you ashamed?”
Of the life [x2]
Of the life we’re livin’

I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live

Stop your messin’ around boy
Better think of your future
Better make some good plans boy
Said everyone of my teachers

Lookout
You better play it safe
You never know what hard times will come your way
We say
Where we’re coming from
We’ve already seen
The wealth that this life can bring

Now we’re expected everywhere that we go
All the things that they say
Yeah we already know

I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
Just wanna live [x3]

I just wanna live
Just wanna live [x3]

I just wanna live
Just wanna live [x3]
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Just wanna live [x3]
Don’t really care about what happens to me

I just wanna live

#6.Goast of You

And I will wait until the end
When the pendulum will swing back to the
Darker side of our hearts bleeding
I will save this empty space
Next to me like its a grave
Where I lay a place for us to sleep eternally together

I have been
Searching for
Traces of
What we were

A ghost of you
Is all that I have left
It's all that I have left of you to hold
I wake in the night to find there's no one there but me
And nothing left of what we were at all

So here I am, pacing around this house again
With pictures of us living on these walls
I see my breathe in the cold of the air that I breathe
And I'm wondering
I'm wondering if it's you that i feel
If its you that I feel here haunting me forever

I have been
Searching for
Traces of
What we were

A ghost of you
Is all that I have left
It's all that I have left of you to hold
I wake in the night to find there's no one there but me
And nothing left of what we were at all

And i'm not looking for
Anything but us
Anything but what we were
And i'm not asking for
Painted memories
I only want to know you're here

A ghost of you
Is all that I have left
It's all that I have left of you to hold
I wake in the night to find there's no one there but me
and nothing left of what we were at all

A ghost of you
Is all that I have left
It's all that I have left of you to hold
I wake in the night to find there's no one there but me
and nothing left of what we were at all.

#7 Predictable

Something isn't right
I can feel it again feel it again
This isn't the first time
That you left me waiting
Sad excuses and false hopes high
I saw this coming still I don't know why
I let you in

I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
You're so predictable (so predictable)

So take your empty words your broken promises
And all the time you stole cause I am done with this
I can give it away give it away
I'm doin everything I should of
And now I'm makin a change
I'm living the day
I'm giving back what you gave me
I don't need anything

I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
You're so predictable (so predictable)

(shouted)
Everywhere I go
Everyone I meet
Every time I try to fall in love
They all want to know why I'm so broken
Why am I so cold?
Why I'm so hard inside?
Why am I scared?
What am I afraid of?
I don't even know
This story's never had an end
I've been waiting
I've been searching
I've been hoping
I've been dreaming you would come back
But I know the ending of this story
You're never coming back
Never..never..never..never.....[echo].....

I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
You're so predictable (so predictable)

Everywhere I go for the rest of my life (so predictable)
Everyone that I love
Everyone I care about
They're all gonna wanna know what's wrong with me (so predictable)
And I know what it is
I'm ending this right now..

#8. Secrets

In the dark
In the darkness you will find
Dirty little secrets we all hide
Cause' we all have a darker side
A place we keep where no one else will find

Cause' everybody wants to hide their secrets away
Nobody wants to stand up to the pain
But I will stand up to the pain
Wake up and fight again
If you could dance with me through this rain
And we will fight, we’ll fight again, fight again

In the back, in the closets of your mind
Thats where skeletons and dirty secrets hide
And I'll rip out my insides
And leave them on display for you tonight

Cause' everybody wants to hide their secrets away
Nobody wants to stand up to the pain
But I will stand up to the pain
Wake up and fight again
If you could dance with me through this rain
And we will fight, we’ll fight again, fight again
(fight again, fight again)…

Nobody left, I hide my secrets away,
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark
We all try to hide our secrets away,
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark

Stand up to the pain
Wake up and fight again
If you could dance with me through this rain
And we will fight, we’ll fight again, fight again
Fight again
Cause' everybody wants to hide their secrets away
And that’s ok
Nobody wants to stand up to the pain
Fight again

#9.The Truth
So here we are
We are alone
There’s weight on your mind
And I wanna know
The truth
If this is how you feel
Say it to me
If this was ever real

[Chorus:]
I want the truth
From you
Give me the truth
Even if it hurts me
I want the truth
From you
Give me the truth
Even if it hurts me

I want the truth

So this is you
You're talking to me
You found a million ways to let me down
So I’m not hurt when you’re not around
I was blind
But now I see
This is how you feel
Just say it to me
If this was ever real

[Chorus]

I know that this will break me
I know that this might make me cry
Gotta say what’s on your mind, on your mind
I know that this will hurt me
And break my heart and soul inside
But I don’t wanna live this lie

[Chorus]

I don’t care no more, no
Just give me the truth
Give me the truth
Cuz I don’t care no more
Give me the truth
Cuz I don’t care no more, no
Just give me the truth
Give me the truth
Give me the truth
Give me the truth
Give me the truth
Cuz I don’t care no more, no
Give me the truth
Cuz I don't care no more, no

#10. The World Is Black

Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing it's just a different day and
No one really knows why this is happening
But it's happening
And everywhere you go it's just a different place
You get the same dark feeling
See the same sad faces
No one really cares that this is happening

We come into this world
And we all are the same
In that moment there's no one to blame

But the world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever changed
By the things we say, say

Living in this place it's always been this way
There's no one doing nothing so there's nothing changed
And I can't live when this world just keeps dying
It's dying
People always tell me this is part of the plan
That God's got everybody in his hands
But I can only pray that God is listening
Is he listening?

We're living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect now I say

But the world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever changed
By the things we say, say, say

We come into this world
And we all are the same
And in that moment there's no one to blame
But we're living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect now I say

The world is black
And hearts are cold
There's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
(We can't go back)
It won't be the same
(It won't be the same)
Forever changed
(What will ever change)
By the things we say, say, say

Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing it's just a different day
And no one really knows why this is happening

#11. Mountain
All these dreams and all these plans
I built them all with these two hands
Everything I’ve realized my dreams

The city lights shine down and they blind me sometimes
But through it all, I was lost but I found my way

So tell me what you want cause I would give you anything
Tell me what you need and I’ll go get it
I’d give up all these dreams to have you in my arms right now
I’d give up everything and I'd forget it

I wasn't on a mountain
When it came to me

All my life's been wasted
Chasing shallow dreams

So here we are
Let me lift you up and show you this world over me
And all these things, what I've gained and what I've seen
It can't compare to the love that you could give to me

So tell me what you want cause I would give you anything
Tell me what you need and I’ll go get it
I’d give up all these dreams to have you in my arms right now
I'd give up everything and I'd forget it

I wasn't on a mountain
When it came to me

All my life's been wasted
Chasing shallow dreams

Years go by and nothing’s slowing down the time
Years go by and then they're wasted
All this time I thought that I gained everything
If you're not mine, I'm so empty

I wasn't on a mountain
When it came, when it came to me

All my life's been wasted
Chasing shallow dreams

#12. We Believe
There's a woman crying out tonight
Her world has changed
She asks God why
Her only son has died
And now her daughter cries
She can't sleep at night

Downtown
Another day for all the suits and ties
Another war to fight
There's no regard for life
How do they sleep at night
How can we make things right?
Just wanna make this right

We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love

We are all the same
Human in all our ways and all of pain
(So let it be)
There's a love that could fall down like rain
(Let us see)
Let forgiveness wash away the pain
(What we need)
And no one really knows what they are searching for
(We believe)
This world is crying for so much more

We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love

We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love

So this world
Is too much
For you to take
Just lay it down and follow me
I'll be everything you need
In every way

We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love
(In this love)
We believe
(In this love)
We believe
(In this love)
We believe
(In this love)

#13. It Wasn't Enough
It wasn't enough [x3]

I would try to believe in the things I cannot see
But my faith is shaking now like its never been before
When I call
And you don't come
I don't know what I should do
Should I call?
Should I even count on you?

Chorus:
I've given all I can
It wasn't enough
To keep you in my hands
Should I give up?
I try to understand
Was it ever enough?
I don't understand

So here I am once again
With my back against the wall
Afraid to show you
Afraid to tell you
But I don't know you like I did
I've never been so alone
I've never felt so insecure
And now I don't know where I'm going
In my life I'm not so sure

[Chorus]

Giving up tonight
I won't let go
Won't let go of you
Giving up tonight
I wanna show you
Wanna show you

Giving up tonight
I won't let go
Won't let go of you
Giving up tonight
Am I giving up?
Giving up
I don't wanna give this up
I won't

[Chorus]

Everything you want from me
I fought so hard for everything
Everything you want from me
I tried so hard could never be
Anything you want from me
Anything you want from me
Anything you want from me
I gave it all

#14. In This World (Murder)
In this world all our sins are simple
We choose death over innocent lives
And in this world it's not all money that’s evil
It’s the ones who choose it over life

And in my heart I cannot believe in this murder
And I will not be fed by the lies
Or the life that is created just to be murdered
It's murder

No matter how hard they try
And no matter how loud they cry
They can't
Buy their way into heaven
No matter how hard they try
And no matter how high they climb
Up the ladder
They won't reach up into heaven

And they can’t see
The innocent lives
The pointless suffering
And in my heart I wanna undo all this murder
And give back the innocent lives
Open cages and stop their luxurious murder
Its murder

No matter how hard they try
And no matter how loud they cry
They can't
Buy their way into heaven
No matter how hard they try
And no matter how high they climb
Up the ladder
They won't reach up into heaven

Murder, innocent lives
Innocent longing
What have we done?

No matter how hard they try
And no matter how loud they cry
They can't
Buy their way into heaven
No matter how hard they try
And no matter how high they climb
Up the ladder
They won't reach up into heaven

No matter how hard they try
And no matter how loud they cry
They can't
Buy their way into heaven
No matter how hard they try
And no matter how high they climb
Up the ladder
They won't reach up into heaven
[fading out]Heaven
Heaven
