First topic message reminder :

Carry Me l


I've been looking for something sacred running away from the light
Gotta burn all the bridges in my head that lead me away from my life
I question my own existence, question the meaning of life

Why don't you carry me? Why don't you carry me?
I can't move on, I can't live on
Carry me, why don't you carry me?
I can't save me, I am crazy without you

It takes horns to hold up my halo and strength to get through the fight
Now I'm playing my cards on the table praying everything will be alright
I question my own existence, question the meaning of life

Why don't you carry me? Why don't you carry me?
I can't move on, I can't live on
Carry me, why don't you carry me?
I can't save me, I am crazy without you

The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it most
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it most
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it most
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it most

Why don't you carry me? Why don't you carry me?
I can't move on, I can't live on
Carry me, why don't you carry me?
I can't save me, I am crazy

The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it most
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it the most
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it most
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it the most

Carry me, carry me
Carry me, carry me

"The Fire"

Die a little everyday
Break the silence when you say
You don't love me anymore
In my face you slam the door
Making up making out
Falling in and falling out
When you kiss me like a stranger
That is when we are in danger
Fly around the fire
In and out of desire
I gotta love you, I gotta have you
Don't want to let you down again
When I kiss you like a lover
That is when we discover
We are burning in the fire
This love will never tire
When I tell you that I need you
Please believe that I won't leave you
You're a diamond I'm a heart
Living in this house of cards
I gotta love you, I gotta have you
Don't want to let you down again

"Reckless"

Please forgive me while I turn out the lights
Watch this haunted day turn into a wasted night
So cut me off-throw me down
Cause I'm reckless, goddamn son of a bitch!
I'm reckless
So reckless
God save me from this madness
I'm walking on broken glass from the wreckage of my past
I'm locked up in a cage 'cause I'm a prisoner of my ways
So cut me off-throw me out
'cause I'm reckless, I'm a reckless goddamn son of a bitch!
Thank god I've got a women with my name across her heart
Loving me ain't easy, loving me is hard
I'm sorry about the madness but that's the way its gotta be
'cause it takes a crazy woman to love a reckless man like me

"I Devise My Own Demise"

I can't control everything
And I can't forget just what I've seen
These memories take me away
To a better place than I am today
I devise my own demise
Here's to life-the life I'm losing
It is time to say hello goodbye (hello goodbye)
To fade away, fade away alone (motherfuck it, goodbye!)
I just want you to take, take me back home
To a better place that I've never known
That I've never known
I can't control everything (death is the only way out!)
And I can't forget just what I've seen (death is the only way out!)
These memories take me away
To a better place that I am today
Than I am today
...this life I'm losing (this life I'm losing)
I devise my...own demise

"My Heart Is A Fist"

I surrender,
I know I've been a pretender
You can have this guilt this misery I wear so well
I wave my flag I sound the alarm
Somebody stop me before I do any harm
I surrender
I know I've been a pretender

I'm living a dead life I'm staring into the headlights
Of a gateway car that'll take me out of my mind tonight

Crash and burn s.o.s. somebody help me get out of this mess of a dead life
I'm burning under the spotlight

[Chorus:]
My heart is a fist drenched in blood
My soul will fight again

Take a look at these hollow eyes- one last look before I say goodbye
To this candle-lit nightmare I feel like can never escape

So watch me fall from grace - watch me carve my hate
In the heart of a lover I feel I can never escape my fate

[Chorus]

I see you on your cloud looking down
I am on my knees today but you don't notice me
You don't notice me
I'm screaming while I pray
While I pray
While I pray
You don't notice me
I'm sick of you...
I am done with you...

[Chorus]

"What Do You Do?"

I got a one-way ticker on a hell-bound train
With nothing to lose and nothing to gain
Nobody ever taught me how to live
I'm feeling like I'm lost- like I'll never be found
I'm twisted and I'm turned around
Nobody ever taught me how to love
I'm hurting everybody I'm hurting myself
I'm desperate
So what do you do
When it all comes down on you?
Do you run and hide
Or face the truth?
If you were to tell me that I'd die today
This is what I'd have to say
I never really had the time to live
And if you were to give me just another chance
Another life, another dance
All I really want to do is love
I'm hurting everybody
I'm hurting myself
I'm desperate
When all is said and done you could be the one
With open arms and open eyes
You're jumping off the edge and hoping you can fly
Accept your fate for what it is
Into the great unknown
...got a one-way ticket on a hell-bound train
With nothing to lose and nothing to gain...

"Time Is Running Out"

Woah-o, woah-o, yeah, yeah
You say I'm looking really bad, you say I'm looking really sick
And I don't even care I never really did
So when push comes to shove and I slap you in the face
Just remember one thing...
When its time to fill the void my whole life has been destroyed
And everyone around me says my time is running out
I refuse to surrender, I refuse to surrender
So when I'm out of control and I'm out of my m ind
Just remember one thing, I think I'm just fine
So catch me when I fall, I won't remember anything at all
So catch me when I fall

When its time to fill the void my whole life has been destroyed
And everyone around me says my time is running out
I refuse to surrender, I refuse to surrender
Woah-o, woah-o, yeah, yeah
Woah-o, woah-o, yeah, yeah
When its time to fill the void my whole life has been destroyed
And everyone around me says my time is running out
When its time to fill the void my whole life has been destroyed
And everyone around me says my time is running out
I refuse to surrender, I refuse to surrender
I refuse to surrender, I refuse to surrender

"Forever"

In the brightest hour of my darkest day
I realized what is wrong with me
Can't get over you. can't get through to you
It's been a helter-skelter romance from the start
Take these memories that are Haunting me
Of a paper man cut into shreds by his own pair of scissors
He'll never forgive her...he'll never forgive her...

Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever

Sitting by a fire on a lonely night
Hanging over from another good time
With another girl... little dirty girl
You should listen to this story of a life
You're my heroine-in this moment I'm lonely fulfilling my darkest dreams
All these drugs all these women
I'm never forgiven... this broken heart of mine

Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever,
Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever

One last kiss,
before I go
Dry your tears,
it is time to let you go

One last kiss (one last kiss)
Before I go (before I go)
Dry your tears (dry your tears)
It is Time to let you go

Because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever

One last kiss (one last kiss)
Before I go (before I go)
Dry your tears (dry your tears)
It is time to let you go

One last kiss,
Before I go,
Dry your tears,
it is time to let you go,
One last kiss

"No More Secrets"

I live the days of war
I live the nights of love
I suffer to survive
I gotta gotta gotta stay alive
I hear the battle cries
The fists are in the sky
I know what I'm fighting for...
No more secrets no more lies
See right through your alibis
Take a look into my eyes
No more secrets no more lies
This is a call to arms
It's time to go to war
It's time to rant and rave
Gotta gotta gotta make a change
Down on the devil street
Is there everybody meets
I know what I'm fighting for...
What goes around comes around baby!
You'll get yours one day, that's right!
I want it all I want it now!
Make no mistake, give it to me straight...
What goes around comes around baby!
You'd get yours one day, that's right!

"Crash"

I refuse to be your victim I refuse to be your slave
I keep on burning my bridges
I keep on fucking up everything
Running from desperation god knows where I've been
I don't know where I'm headed
But I'm going too fast I think I'm going to crash
I'm going to crash
I'm going to crash, to crash
It is time for annihilation its time to be a criminal
No time for his hesitation time to be an animal
Looking at my reflection I don't like what I see
So I ask myself a question
Do I got what I want or do I got what I need?
I'm not afraid of the future
Of spinning right out of control
I don't know where I'm headed
But I'm going too fast I think I'm going to crash
I refuse to be a victim, I don't want to fall again
I know where I'm headed
God knows where I've been...
Live-love-life!
Live-love-fight!

"Do Or Die"

Today I saw my hero fall apart,
The one who taught me to be strong,
On the outside I look fine,
But on the inside I am dying
My strength is overcome by pain
My love for you remains the same
The loneliness is setting in
I have no one to free my sins

It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's yours and mine

Now it's my turn to help you out,
'cause you were there when I was down,
It's hard for me to see you this way
Losing all your sanity
You helped me to keep my dreams alive,
Without you how will I survive?
It's time for me to be a man
Now I finally understand

It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's yours and mine

It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's yours and mine

I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore

Today I saw my hero fall apart,
The one who taught me to be strong,
On the outside I look fine,
But on the inside I am dying

It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's yours and mine

It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's yours and mine

It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life,
The time is now, it's yours and mine

I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore

Yeah

"Tyranny Of Normality"

The media is the seduction of human desire (set their money, set their money, on fire), if you try to sell me the truth
then I know you're a liar, a liar

[Chorus]
It's the tyranny of normality, it's the tyranny of normality

Our culture has become complacent, and has no desire (take back, take back our empire), and the ethical slaughter of
truth needs to be retired, retired

[Chorus]

It's the death of outrage!! I want to turn a new page!! I mourn the death of our age, the obituary's on the front page!!
Since the death of outrage, I want to turn a new page!! I mourn the death of our age, the obituary's on the front page,
it's the death of outrage, i mourn the death of our age, the obituary's on the front page

[Chorus]

"Caught Dead"

I've got passion and a reason,
And I won't neglect my emotions,
Because I wanna spill, spill my guts,
But I don't want to pick them up,
I've got passion, and a reason,
And I won't neglect my emotions,
I'm excited and I'm exploding,
I'm ignited and I'm ready to go off

Rather be caught dead than weak

Cause I'd rather be caught dead, than be weak,
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong,
Cause I'd rather be caught dead, than be weak,
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong,

I wanna spill, spill my guts,
But I don't want to pick them up,
I've got too much pride and desire,
To let this go, I'll walk through fire

I've got passion, and a reason,
And I won't neglect my emotions

Rather be caught dead than weak

[Chorus:]

I'd rather be caught dead than weak,
Rather be caught dead than weak,

[Chorus:]

"Blanket Of Fear"

I am awake under this blanket of fear, and I must say, none of the people I see belong here, now everyone's asleep, I am
awake and I am dreaming, I believe it's time for a rude awakening

[Chorus]
So hold on to your dreams, Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality Hold on to your dreams, Because
your nightmares might seem like they're your reality

I believe, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, and the man behind the curtain, I heard him say, "Dreamers have
become an endangered species, and I am aware of the rude awakening

[Chorus]

I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground,I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground, I hit the ground,
because I, I can't keep my mind from going into dark places, because I, I can't keep my mind from going into dark places

[Chorus]

I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground, I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground!

"Done With You"

I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
There's no salvation in the comfort of you
I finally realized you're tearing me apart

[Chorus:]
So help me, save me, tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me, tell me that the end is near
I am done with you

You made my life completely miserable
You drove me to the edge, you've caused me all this pain
But I've always loved you 'cause you're oh so special
I'm broken and I'm alone and I cannot maintain

[Chorus]

Done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you, I'm done with you)

I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart

Help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you

Because you and me are through
You couldn't help me
You couldn't save me
Now I know the end is here
I am done with you

"Be Free"

Woke up and I feel like shit
I don't remember last night, I'm getting sick of this
I hit the bottle when I got off stage
And got piss drunk stupid and went in a rage
I think I mighta got into a fight
Because my knuckles were bloody and I don't feel alright
I hit the bottom and I don't even care
Some say I'm going to hell but I'm already there

[Pre-Chorus:]
Sick and tired of being sick and tired

[Chorus:]
I wanna be free from this ball and chain and
Be free from this life of pain and
Be free from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you

Now I'm full of guilt and shame
I can't point a finger cause theres no one to blame
So I say I'll never do it again
But when the sun goes down, you are my only friend
I'm thinking I am starting to see
I have become everything I never wanted to be
I'm really getting sick of myself
Cause when I look into the mirror, I see somebody else

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus x2]

Sick and tired of being sick and tired
So sick and tired of being sick and tired
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
So sick and tired of being sick and tired

[Chorus x2]

"Getting Away With Murder"

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am waiting for disaster

[Chorus]
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, Getting away, Getting away)

I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back cause I don't even want to
And I don't need to
Because I'm getting away with murder

[Chorus]

Getting away, Getting away, Getting away,
Getting away, Getting away, Getting away,
Getting away, Getting away, Getting away,
With murder

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am craving this disaster

[Chorus 2x]

"Take Me"

Take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

[Chorus:]
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

I lit my pain on fire
And I watched it all burn down
Now I'm dancing in the ashes
And theres no one else around
Cause I wanna be apart of something
This is just a story of a broken soul

[Hook:]
As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by

[Chorus x2]

I'm burning in the heavens
And I'm drowning in a hell
My soul is in a coma
And none of my friends can tell
That I'm reaching out and getting nothing
This is just a story of a broken soul

[Hook]
[Chorus x2]

Don't shut me out

Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain

[Hook]
[Chorus x2]
[Hook]

Take Me
Don't Break Me

"Stop Looking Start Seeing"

Hit or miss, fuck or fight
It's time to live your life
Go ahead, I know I'm right
I'm gonna lay it on the line
Put yourself in my shoes
Would you stand up for your rights
Line em up and knock em down
I'm not running scared tonight

[Chorus:]
I have climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
I've climbed these walls before (these walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow (these walls)

I see the walls closing in
And I feel I'm in danger
My enemy is not alone
In the mirror, there's a stranger
As I tried to break out
My panic led to fear
Hopeless, I am alone
I'm afraid the end is near

The truth doesn't always have to hurt

[Chorus]

Stop looking
Start seeing NOW
Right Now [x2]

Why does the truth always have to hurt?

[Chorus]

"Scars"

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is

[Chorus:]
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

[Chorus]

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever come around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

[Chorus x2]

"Blood"

I will forgive but I won't forget
And I hope you know you've lost my respect

You better watch out
If you don't know whats going on around you
You better think twice
Before you fly off the handle and lose it
You better join us
Before you get lost in the shuffle
You better rise against
The demons that are gonna try and hold you down

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
The ones you love, the ones you love, the ones you love

Cause I'm not a pawn for you to play in your fucking game
I've got dignity and a dream that I want to achieve
The pressure, your troubled and you let me down
I'm not deaf and all I hear are your empty promises

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
The ones you love, the ones you love, the ones you love

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love!
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love!
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love!

I will forgive but I won't forget
And I hope you know you've lost my respect

Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love

White Light - Version 1 (Live Intro To Last Resort)

White light hovered over the patients room, as he stares blank into space
He knows he should be dying soon
White light take away the pain, white light take away the pain

So his family sits around his hospital bed, hopes for the best
But he could care less, because his family never gave a f*ck about him
So I told him, f*ck family, maybe your family is just your friends
Maybe your family is just yourself
When you been .. down there, the only way is up

So he sat me down one day, and told me these words
He told me these words, and these words I give to you
And this is energy, and we all want it
So thank you, you know what he told me?
He told me ...

Come Apart (Reach 454 featuring Jacoby Shaddix)

I have seen it all come apart again
And I don't pretend it's getting easier everyday now
Look into the sky, give me strength within
And I don't pretend it's getting easier everyday now

And they try to tell me they know who we are
And they try to tell me we won't get that far

And we know that (it's not so far away)
And we know that (we're closer everyday)
It's not so far away, it's not so far away, it's not so far away ..

I have made mistakes, lost inside regret
And I don't pretend it's getting easier everyday now
I hope I break free from words that try to scar
And I don't pretend it's getting easier everday now

And they try to tell me they know who we are
And they try to tell me we won't get that far

And we know that (it's not so far away)
And we know that (we're closer everyday)
It's not so far away, it's not so far away, it's not so far away ..
Yeah! Yeah!

Believe what you want to believe ..
Try to tell us we can't go on, try to tell us we don't belong
Try to tell us we can't go on, try to tell us we don't belong

And we know that (it's not so far away)
And we know that (we're closer everyday)
It's not so far away, it's not so far away, it's not so far away ..

We all know that we are (it's not so far away)
We all know that we are (it's closer everyday)
We all know that we are (it's not so far away)
We all know that we are (it's closer everyday)
Don't be afraid we know that ..
It's not so far aaaaaawayyyy

Lithium (Nirvana Cover)

I'm so happy, cause today I found my friends

I kill you, I'm not gonna crack

Sweet Emotion (Aerosmith Cover)

"What's up y'all? Make some noise!"

Sweet emotion (x2)

You talk about things that nobody cares
You're wearing out things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but you gotta make clear
That's right, I won't tell you this, where I'll be in a year

Some sweat hog mama, face like a gent
Said my get up and go, musta got up and went
That's right, well I got good news
She's a real good liar
Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire


Sweet emotion (x2)

I pulled into town in a police car
And your daddy said I took it just a little too far
