Are You Sure?

[Verse 1]
Made up your mind
And you’re sure this time
And you know you’re right
(You won’t change your mind)
The lines are drawn
But which side you on?
Your conviction’s gone
(You can’t change your mind)
[Prechorus]
Look at what you have become
You choke out and suffocate everyone you ever loved
Your lies are a saccharine web
But what of you after you’ve caught yourself in your own bed?
Look at the damage you’ve done
But trust me when I say the damage has hardly begun
Your instinct is always to run
The second you see signs of possibly being outdone
[Chorus]
Are you sure
That everything will turn out alright?
Are you sure
There’s no monsters in your closet tonight?
[Verse 2]
Are you happy now?
Satisfied somehow?
“Holier than thou?”
(You’re not gonna change your mind)
I don’t know what’s worse
You or your curse
God, you’re so perverse
(Now don’t go and change your mind)
[Prechorus]
Look at what you have become
You choke out and suffocate everyone you ever loved
Your lies are a saccharine web
But what of you after you’ve caught yourself in your own bed?
Look at the damage you’ve done
But trust me when I say the damage has hardly begun
Your instinct is always to run
The second you see signs of possibly being outdone
[Chorus]
Are you sure
That everything will turn out alright?
Are you sure
There’s no monsters in your closet tonight?
Don’tcha know
You’re gonna end up sad and contrite?
But you’re sure
So now your whole world’s gone up alight
[Bridge]
You can’t know the problem when you’re it’s inventor
The hurricane is calmer when you’re at the center
Pick up your pieces, don’t come crying to me when you fall apart
There’s nothing quite like eating a hole in your heart
You know it’s all over, our time is no more
I’ll say it again, I’ve said it before
How could you think a single person would fight or would stand with you,
When you can’t explain your own side of the issue?
[Chorus]
Are you sure
That everything will turn out alright?
Are you sure
There’s no monsters in your closet tonight?
Don’tcha know
You’re gonna end up sad and contrite?
But you’re sure
So now your whole world’s gone up alight

[Intro]
Ready the car
Leave it outside
Wait for my call, and bring it to life
I’ll get the cash
You get the ride
We’ll be a regular Bonnie and Clyde
I’ll come a-runnin’ atcha
A load o’ loot in my sack
We cruise away into the night, there ain’t no goin’ back
[Verse]
Self destruction’s in my nature
And chaos is my favorite game
I’m spontaneous and self-assured
Trouble is my middle name
[Prechorus]
I’m bored, let’s go rob a bank!
Or something, I just wanna feel alive
We’ll do crime and get away by fakin’
Our deaths, doesn’t that sound jive?
[Chorus]
So when the boys in blue come a-lookin’ for you
You bet your baby they’ll be callin’ me too
And when the goin’s go south,
I’ll take the fall with you
(So let’s go steal some shit)
I wanna get high on life with you
(I wanna take a hit)
I wanna see just how much we can do
(So let’s go steal some shit)
[Verse]
Thinkin’ we could be celebrity maybe,
Give hollywood a heart attack
I’ll play the innocent media baby
You’ll be my shiny knight in black
[Prechorus]
I’m bored, let’s go on the run
Or something, I just wanna feel alive
You got the guns, I got the guts, we’ll get it done
Now doesn’t that sound jive?
[Chorus]
So when the boys in blue come a-lookin’ for you
you bet your baby they’ll be callin’ me too
And when the goin’s go south,
I’ll take the fall with you
(So let’s go steal some shit)
I wanna get high on life with you
(I wanna take a hit)
I wanna see just how much we can do
(So let’s go steal some shit)
[Chorus]
So when the boys in blue come a-lookin’ for you
You bet your baby they’ll be callin’ me too
And when the goin’s go south,
I’ll take the fall with you
(So let’s go steal some shit)
I wanna get high on life with you
(I wanna take a hit)
I wanna see just how much we can do
(So let’s go steal some shit)

[Verse]
Affliction spreading me thin
Lost touch with all I live in
Existence purged with pain
My loss becomes its gain
This is your truth
This is your truth
[Prechorus]
Minds lost, balance is stolen
Treasures to find in a violent ocean
Beaten, torn, and let go
Stranded ashore
[Chorus]
Feed me your hollow lies
Your word your favorite disguise
Illusions haunt my mind
Left bound alone, confined
[Verse]
I grasp the truth from within
Maybe my life can begin
No matter, it's still here
Cut the pieces, disappear
This is my truth
This is my truth
[Chorus]
Feed me your hollow lies
Your word your favorite disguise
Illusions haunt my mind
Left bound alone, confined
But now I see you clear
And there’s no place for you here
Maybe you’ll stick to your plan
At least I understand,
I won’t be fooled again
[Breakdown 2]
Lies!
[Chorus]
Feed me your hollow lies
Your word your favorite disguise
Illusions haunt my mind
Left bound alone, confined
But now I see you clear
And there’s no place for you here
Maybe you’ll stick to your plan
At least I understand,
I won’t be fooled again

[Verse]
Dinner table’s set for a feast
The playboy vulture’s circling
Black suit unkemptly creased
And a wolflike smile grimacing
On the table may sit a beast
With horns and fangs and blood red eyes
But the real evil sits to the east
He licks his lips and starts to rise
[Chorus]
Demonize the media, propagate the ideas
With a superhero leader you can trust
And when the suits want a holy war
That’s what they’ll get
‘Cause the hurt gets loud
And the quiet is a threat
[Verse]
The fat tabby cat’s not an autocrat,
He just knows what’s best
For all the little ungrateful rats
Yeah, they’ve been blessed
'Cause the kitty’s itty bitty pinky toe could spell their end
But the kitty only wants to be their friend
Those rats should hail him as a godsend
Those rats don’t know on what they depend
[Chorus]
Demonize the media, propagate the ideas
With a superhero leader you can trust
And when the suits want a holy war
That’s what they’ll get
‘Cause the hurt gets loud
And the quiet is a threat
Demonize the media, propagate the ideas
With a superhero leader you can trust
And when the suits want a holy war
That’s what they’ll get
‘Cause the hurt gets loud
And the quiet is a threat
[Breakdown]
Kitty got hungry,
It’s time to dine
The rats go down,
Bite by bite!
[Chorus]
Demonize the media, propagate the ideas
With a superhero leader you can trust
And when the suits want a holy war
That’s what they’ll get
‘Cause the hurt gets loud
And the quiet is a threat
Demonize the media, propagate the ideas
With a superhero leader you can trust
And when the suits want a holy war
That’s what they’ll get
‘Cause the hurt gets loud
And the quiet is a threat

[Verse 1]
Halfway out of my mind
Stranger out in the night
I’m a soul stuck in a life
(No end, no end)
No end in sight
Too far into the deep
Begging for a release
Comatose, stuck in a sleep
(Alone, alone)
Alone I weep
[Prechorus]
Does freedom come at a cost
Who’s thinking all of my thoughts
Don’t leave me down here to rot
[Chorus]
Keep on breaking me down
Until I hit the bottom
Keep on knocking on doors
Until I find a way out
Keep on running my mouth
Until they all believe me
No one sees me on my knees
I’m screaming ‘cause they don’t believe me
Half-lit maze of the mirrors
It keeps on twist-and-turning
Drowned in all of my fears
But still a fire’s burning
Finally seeing it clear
We get what we’re deserving
Hope and search and beg and pray
But nothing’s gonna come redeem me now
[Verse 2]
Nearly void of the light
Evil brought back to life
Don’t tell me I’m crossing the line
(I’ve gone, too far)
Too far this time
What is this deceiving fever?
(This fever)
Can’t be helped by any healer
(No healer)
When did I allure the reaper?
(The reaper)
I’ve become an evil creature
[Chorus]
Keep on breaking me down
Until I hit the bottom
Keep on knocking on doors
Until I find a way out
Keep on running my mouth
Until they all believe me
No one sees me on my knees
I’m screaming ‘cause they don’t believe me
Half-lit maze of the mirrors
It keeps on twist-and-turning
Drowned in all of my fears
But still a fire’s burning
Finally seeing it clear
We get what we’re deserving
Hope and search and beg and pray
But nothing’s gonna come redeem me now
[Chorus]
No more breaking me down
I finally hit the bottom
No more knocking on doors
I need to find a way out
No more running my mouth
Because they won’t believe me
No one sees me on my knees
I’m screaming ‘cause they don’t believe me
Half-lit maze of the mirrors
It keeps on twist-and-turning
Drowned in all of my fears
But still a fire’s burning
Finally seeing it clear
I’ll get what I’m deserving
Hope and search and beg and pray
But nothing’s gonna come redeem me now

The Good Life
04:23

|
[Verse]
Woke up sad for no good reason
Guess it’s just that time of season
Like clockwork it always comes around
Traps me and it pulls me to the ground
[Prechorus]
(Oh)
Is this my forever?
(Oh)
Does it ever get better?
[Chorus]
“The Good Life” feels more like a sell out
And these days it’s a new kind of fight
I try hard to figure myself out
Maybe one of these days I’ll get it right
I know it gets better
(Bada badada ba ba badada)
And good things come to those who wait
(Bada badada ba ba badadada)
But patience is a fetter
(Bada badada ba ba badada)
I can’t sit around for fate
(Bada badada ba ba badadada)
[Verse]
Drifting through the daily routine
Spaced out, seeing through a gray screen
I see everything in black and white
My days are a shade of “just alright”
Locked out at the gates of Perfect
Kept guard by my internal conflicts
This castle’s walls are way too tall
I fear I will always be too small
[Prechorus]
(Oh)
Is this my forever?
(Oh)
‘Cause it isn’t getting better
[Chorus]
“The Good Life” feels more like a sell out
And these days it’s a new kind of fight
I try hard to figure myself out
Maybe one of these days I’ll get it right
I know it gets better
(Bada badada ba ba badada)
And good things come to those who wait
(Bada badada ba ba badadada)
But patience is a fetter
(Bada badada ba ba badada)
I can’t sit around for fate
(Bada badada ba ba badadada)
[Bridge]
This can’t be my forever
‘Cause I wanna get better
[Chorus]
“The Good Life” feels more like a sell out
And these days it’s a new kind of fight
I try hard to figure myself out
Maybe one of these days I’ll get it right
I know it gets better
(Bada badada ba ba badada)
And good things come to those who wait
(Bada badada ba ba badadada)
But patience is a fetter
(Bada badada ba ba badada)
I can’t sit around for fate
(Bada badada ba ba badadada)
“The Good Life” feels more like a sell out
And these days it’s a new kind of fight
I try hard to figure myself out
Maybe one of these days I’ll get it right

[Verse 1]
Relapse
(No, wait)
Oh, I need my vices,
I’d rather share space
With the devil I know than be
Alone
(Oh man)
No it’s not ideal,
But I need someone
That I know will be there when I fall,
I hear voices
But not the right ones,
If these walls could talk, I’d have burned them down by now
(By now)
To the ground
[Chorus]
I’m going off the deep end
Could you reach for my hand my friend,
And save me from my head?
I’m fighting hard for fresh air
But the undertow is everywhere
And caught me unprepared
[Verse 2]
Breathe in
[Inhale sound]
Am I still alive,
Is it air I breathe,
Or is water gonna suffocate
Me
[Choking sound]
Yeah my demons float,
And from down below,
The water gives them halos
I hear voices
But not the light ones,
With no heart of stone, I’d be on that beach right now
(Right now)
Safe, sound
[Chorus]
I’m going off the deep end
Could you reach for my hand my friend,
And save me from my head?
I’m fighting hard for fresh air
But the undertow is everywhere
And caught me unprepared
[Bridge]
I was so scared of drowning
I never learned to swim
Now I’m in over my head
And the promise of tomorrow’s looking grim
[Chorus]
I’m going off the deep end
Could you reach for my hand my friend,
And save me from my head?
I’m fighting hard for fresh air
But the undertow is everywhere
And caught me unprepared

[Intro]
We used to be barefoot
Roaming wild and free
We used to be stronger
We were the key
[Verse 1]
You used to be barefoot
Roaming wild and free
Once, back when you were younger
You were the key
You try to keep hoping
Even you can improve
You long to feel something
Long to be moved
[Prechorus]
Nothing feels right
Nothing else left
Nothing left to lose but
The heart in your chest
Know that I’m with you
And know that I hear you
You’re never truly alone
[Chorus]
Promise you’ll stand with the giants
And live every day like your last
Promise you’ll stand in defiance
When your enemies have amassed
Don’t ever change, unless it’s for the better,
Don’t lose sight of who you used to be,
Don’t ever change, don’t give into the pressure,
Don’t lose sight of who you are to me
[Verse 2]
You used to be barefoot
Roaming wild and free
Once, back when you were younger
You were the key
You used to feel immortal
Nothing in your way
Filled with childly wonder
Life was your stage
[Prechorus]
Now nothing feels right
Nothing else left
Nothing left to lose but
The heart in your chest
Know that I’m with you
And know that I hear you
You’re never truly alone
[Chorus]
Promise you’ll stand with the giants
And live every day like your last
Promise you’ll stand in defiance
When your enemies have amassed
Don’t ever change, unless it’s for the better,
Don’t lose sight of who you used to be,
Don’t ever change, don’t give into the pressure,
Don’t lose sight of who you are to me
[Bridge]
And if you’re lost I will guide you
From the wreckage of that raging sea
Back to the place you were barefoot
Roaming wild and free
[Outro]
Oh, I’m with you
You’re safe with me, my friend
Oh, I’m with you
I’m with you till the end
