You, scatter ashes in your wake
Diggin’ yourself an early grave
You say you can’t be saved

Some will rise, some will fall
Some will run and some must crawl
Some will laugh, some will cry
Some will live and some must die

You, thought that you could have it all
Shocked to crash and hit the wall
This is your last withdrawal

Some will reject, some will choose
Some will win and some must lose
Some will stand, some will kneel
Some will give and some will steal

Ooh, feelin’ like a little fish on a big nasty hook
Ooh, feelin’ like a little fish

Every waking dream, like a gentle breeze from the salty sea
Every breath you take, let’s your restless heart finally break free
You thought you had so much to lose
Holding on to things you weren’t meant to choose
The apple falls from the tree
Is it clear to see, you had to set it free?

Who knows, if it’s safe to stay behind?
Are you so, scared that time will pass you by?
Every turn on the street makes your journey complete
Did you notice me?
Waiting for every waking dream

Every break of dawn, like a lighthouse to guide you home again
Every step you take, brings you closer to where you’ve always been
You hear a voice inside your head
A truth you’ve known but always tried to fled
You can’t buy back yesterday
Is it safe to say, you let it slip away?

Who knows, if it’s safe to stay behind?
Are you so, scared that time will pass you by?
Every turn on the street makes your journey complete
Did you notice me?
Waiting for every waking dream

Eyes closed, your pillow shows exactly what you need
I know a safe place that no one else has seen
We both fear an atmosphere that reminds us of home
You’re not alone, alone

Who knows, if it’s safe to stay behind?
Are you so, scared that time will pass you by?
Every turn on the street makes your journey complete
Did you notice me?
Waiting…

Euphoria never looked more depressed, make-up running down
The Salvation Army dress she wears, used to be her wedding gown
Every night she falls asleep on a pillow filled with stains
In the mirror her mother cries to her; please don’t end up the same

All got lost in the fire, all went up in flames
All got lost in the fire but from the ashes you will rise again
Euphoria never looked more defeat, heart pounding in her chest
Safely hidden out of sight, the dark briefly hides the mess
All the roads she drove before led her astray
Forward in reverse is sometimes the only way

All got lost in the fire, all went up in flames
All got lost in the fire but from the ashes you will rise again
Don’t look back in anger, don’t look back at all
Don’t look back in anger
Don’t look back in anger, don’t look back at all
Don’t look back at all

Looking like a rainbow but her heart is black
Pretends to be a winner while she hides the cracks
Ignoring every sunset, climbing up the hills
She’ll make you lose your religion just to get her fill

Tensions gettin’ higher, expectations low
The only reason she kissed you is to shut your hole
Got a taste of something, something blue
Don’t stand here like a victim tryin’ to steal my blues

Feeling like a freight train while you’re right on track
No sign of hesitation or monkeys on your back
Such a lovely soundscape, blasting through your ears
She’ll make you lose your religion and lick your salty tears

Tensions gettin’ higher, expectations low
The only reason she kissed you is to shut your hole
Got a taste of something, something blue
Don’t stand here like a victim tryin’ to steal my blues

Tensions gettin’ higher, expectations low
The only reason she kissed you is to shut your hole
Got a taste of something, something blue
Don’t stand here like a victim
Tensions gettin’ higher, expectations low
The only reason she kissed you is to shut your hole
Got a taste of something, something blue
Don’t stand here like a victim tryin’ to steal my blues

So much to say and do but all your actions come too late
So much to give and take but here I’m empty handed
Now’s the time to come around and to realize that you and me weren’t meant to be

Nothing you can say, the kindest words will fade
You can wipe my tears away but it won’t get better

So much to feel and see but now I’d rather look the other way
So much to lose and keep but here you’re empty handed
Now’s the time to come around and to realize that you and me weren’t meant to be

Nothing you can say, the kindest words will fade
You can wipe my tears away but it won’t get better
Nothing you can do, this broken heart can’t be glued
Your intensions may be good but it won’t get better

Nothing left to say
Nothing left to do
Nothing left to give
Nothing left to take
Nothing left to keep

Ooh, are you trying to find answers?
Heey, questions will never end
Ooh, caught up in circumstances?
Heey, condemned dissident

The salt in your tears, is salt in my wounds but you’ll be fine, we’ll be alright

Ooh, do you need to be persuaded?
Heey, the darkest night fades into day
Ooh, lost in a sea of nameless faces?
Heey, light will guide you home again

The salt in your tears, is salt in my wounds but you’ll be fine, we’ll be alright
The salt in your tears, is salt in my wounds but you’ll be fine, we’ll be alright

Am I a poet?
Do I need pain?
My heart pumps sadness through my veins
Speak the truth?
Live a lie?
Tears from laughter or did you cry?

Thought you’d lift me up, not shoot me down
I thought you’d lift me up

Me and my full plate armor could take on the world
In the line of fire my flag won’t unfurl
Bulletproof, you can’t hurt me
Bulletproof, take a shot at me

Am I seeking?
Will I be found?
Tried to reach but my hands were bound
Words of comfort?
Acts of hate?
Is there salvation for the misbehaved?
Am I a dreamer?
Keeping things real?
The taste of hunger makes you wanna steal

Thought you’d lift me up, not shoot me down
I thought you’d lift me up

Me and my full plate armor could take on the world
In the line of fire my flag won’t unfurl
Bulletproof, you can’t hurt me
Bulletproof, take a shot at me

Thought you’d lift me up, not shoot me down
Thought you’d lift me up, not shoot me down
Thought you’d lift me up, not shoot me down, down, down, down
I thought you’d lift me up

Me and my full plate armor could take on the world
In the line of fire my flag won’t unfurl
Bulletproof, you can’t hurt me
Bulletproof, take a shot at me

Born and raised in luxury, church every Sunday
So many things she’ll never need, yearnin’ for an outbreak

Tired of the feeling that life is passing by
Better stop this bleeding, too many tears have been cried

She’s out of control, oh no, like a wildfire (wildfire)
Blazing till there’s nothing left to burn
Out of control, oh no, like a wildfire (wildfire)
See that smoke fillin’ up her world

Fallen from her pedestal, choking on redemption
No more daddy’s angel, aching for some lovin’

All this excitement now the walls are coming down
Gather all those demons and start tearin’ up this town

She’s out of control, oh no, like a wildfire (wildfire)
Blazing till there’s nothing left to burn
Out of control, oh no, like a wildfire (wildfire)
See that smoke fillin’ up her world

One; always walked the straight and narrow
Two; done with all the rules she swallowed
Three; now it’s time to burn that candle down, down

She’s out of control, oh no, like a wildfire (wildfire)
Blazing till there’s nothing left to burn
Out of control, oh no, like a wildfire (wildfire)
See that smoke fillin’ up her world
She’s out of control, oh no, like a wildfire (wildfire)
Blazing till there’s nothing left to burn
Out of control, oh no, like a wildfire (wildfire)
See that smoke fillin’ up her world

When the world seems shallow and the moon turns black
Let the rain pour down, there’s nothing wrong with that
In your darkest hour, in your time of need
A floor of empty bottles won’t help you on your feet

Every now and then, you’ll need a helping hand my friend
Don’t be a stubborn man, it’s ok to reach out for your friends

You may have lost the battle but surely not the war
Gather all your demons and kick ‘em out the door
Time to make changes, time to make amends
A pocket full excuses will leave you in the past

Every now and then, you’ll need a helping hand my friend
Don’t be a stubborn man, it’s ok to reach out for your friends

I don’t have all the answers and never claimed a set of wings
You may not like the direction but try to see what it will bring
Come on now and show me that you’ll fight until the end
Don’t be a stubborn man, don’t be stubborn my friend

When the world seems shallow and the moon turns black
Let the rain pour down, there’s nothing wrong with that
In your darkest hour, in your time of need
A floor of empty bottles won’t help you on your feet

Every now and then, you’ll need a helping hand my friend
Don’t be a stubborn man, it’s ok to reach out for your friends

I don’t have all the answers and never claimed a set of wings
You may not like the direction but try to see what it will bring
Come on now and show me that you’ll fight until the end
Don’t be a stubborn man, don’t be stubborn my friend

What we’ve lost, is more than just a flame
Our love became a tragic losing game
Streets are broken and we can’t make it through
My heart feels heavy, I’ve got the blues

You hate loving me
You love hating me

Ooh, how could we be so blind?
There goes our future, guess the fortuneteller lied
Goodbye, goodbye

What we’ve lost, is more than just a touch
Our love became a cross and not a crutch
Bottles are empty and bring out the truth
Your hope has flown, you’ve got the blues

You hate loving me
You love hating me
Ooh, how could we be so blind?
There goes our future, guess the fortuneteller lied
Goodbye, goodbye

You hate loving me
You love hating me

Dark was the night, cold was the ground
No questions asked and no one around
You lay beside me like so many before
Nevermore

Nevermore, cos I fear to get used to you
Nevermore, cos I want to be used by you
Destruction has nothing to build on, guess we’re running out of lust

Late was the hour, sore was your soul
No words were spoken and nothing resolved
Our clothes are scattered all over this floor
Nevermore

Nevermore, cos I fear to get used to you
Nevermore, cos I want to be used by you
Destruction has nothing to build on, guess we’re running out of lust

Nevermore, cos I fear to get used to you
Nevermore, cos I want to be used by you
Destruction has nothing to build on, guess we’re running out of lust

She’s got a face like an angel but she’s the thorn in my side
She’ll take what she wants and leave a mad man behind
