Dead Men Walking [8:02]

The madness living in this life,
Broken dreams fill the air with noise,
Listening in on where to go
When everybody's gone,
Selfish actions left you alone,
Deep down you want to tear away,
Burned bridges and blood stained roads,
Looks like last night was a disaster,
Living in scars,
While this city burns itself to the ground,
Not many relocating,
Not many doing anything,
But lead with savage actions,
Words are worthless if your hungry for war.

Looks like we got ourselves a fist fight,
What's new today,
We still got soldiers ravaging these streets,
Prepared for war?
War was last night; look at what we've done,
Stood silent while they rampaged,
Don't kid yourself,
We're as much to blame,
Handprint on the fresh pavement,
Like the aftermath, it will last forever,
Burned crops and severed limbs,
Look at how we take care of ourselves.

Many stood silent,
Staring while the war went on,
Many look for violence,
Well, you'll be dead before dawn,
Look how far we have come,
Forget lessons, we will never learn,
Not too far, who knows how long,
We are dead men walking.

Through the jungle we pursue
Anything moving and good to eat,
Look at what we've become,
Who gives a fuck, I guess we never did,
Never in the right state of mind,
Always hungry for more,
And blind to any good,
Running in the open area,
Looking for anything
To protect us from the cold,
Nothing works, we feel numb,
Written words on the wall,
But who is looking anyway,
Claustrophobic, bullets passing by,
Bodies thump and fill the streets,
And we'll be here wondering why.

Somewhere out there,
Somewhere in the cold,
Someone bleeding on his own,
Night falls, night seems forever,
Never enough to resolve
All this blood on our hands,
Watch the love pass by,
Washing blood to no avail,
All the sinners, all the killers,
All together in one place,
Others pass, others angry,
But keep it to themselves.

Standing tall, standing silent,
Staring while the war went on,
Many look for violence,
Well, you'll be dead before dawn,
Look how far we have come,
Forget lessons, we will never learn,
Not too far, who knows how long,
We are dead men walking,
We are dead men walking.

Losing the balance with faith,
Hoping that nothing will change,
Trying to be, while you struggle
To see anything around you,
This was not what it was supposed to be,
And everything can be what you want,
But you won't break through
And fight for what you love,
Standing straight, looking tall,
But feeling vague and feeling dull.

You know, you are
What you expose,
What you pursue,
Are you a living star?!!! (x2)

Winning when you're losing,
Sometimes you need to suffer to feel better,
Looking through this glass,
You're feeling blue,
But look a little deeper,
You will shine through,
Every single tear means something,
Will I ever be near to you, dear?
Look, why don't you
Get yourself out of this mess,
You don't know what you want,
Change in taste every week,
Still struggling, while you're standing,
You won't admit because you feel ashamed,
But don't feel afraid to hold hands,
Because you know

You know, you are
What you expose,
What you pursue,
You're a living star!!! (x3)

Underneath [6:13]

Time slips by,
We don't know why
We're having such a tough time,
To understand one another,
Be yourself,
Like it's always that easy,
Turn the other cheek,
But I feel it's better to stand up for yourself,
Underneath all this mess,
We're still human,
Someone fill me up.

Sweetness,
But something fills the air with hate,
Bitterness,
Trying so hard to find a way out of this hole.

Up all night,
Trying to get things right,
Not like it used to be,
Well, nothing is roses,
Out the door,
Way to clear what's clogged,
Distant love and peace,
Playing catch-up with my memories,
Taste of fear,
Crawling back into me,
Underneath all this mess,
Everywhere and within,
Lead me wherever.

Sweetness,
But something fills the air with hate,
Bitterness,
Trying so hard to find a way out of this hole.

When there's no one to hold your hand,
When there's something on your mind,
Walking in the darkness,
Where's the light?
Wondering on your own,
When can you trust yourself?

Sweetness,
Bitterness,
Sweetness,
Bitterness.

****Whatever is in italics is sung faster and deeper - the rest is sung slowly****
*An updated version*

Satisfaction, but being left behind,
Everyone recognizes you,
But no one understands
What you're going through,
You can't believe it,
Tied up, everything in knots,
Hard times reaching the tip,
Life turned inside out,
Reliving past nightmares,
Stranded on the road,
No change of clothes
Just the dirt on your shoulders,
When you're living among friends
You feel estranged.

A cold night to forget,
A light that never shines again,
A fresh memory now fades,
A tear of joy turns to dust,
A clear sky turns dark gray,
A picture of love turns to hate,
And now you feel left all alone.

This downward spiral,
And no one believes you,
The pieces in your heart breaking down,
Watching the world growing old,
Watching yourself fold,
Nothing quite does it right,
Not so easy to start a fire
In this heart that lacks desire,
Your legs heavy as stone,
Your friends come and go,
Pictures burning bright,
The only light you will see tonight,
When you're living among loved ones
Sometimes you feel estranged.

A frightful night to forget,
A soul with no self esteem,
A sleepless evening in the rain,
A burden burning in your palm,
A reason to believe,
A fragile heart ripped in two,
And now you feel left all alone.

Your world built to crumble,
Life is not the same
Without certain people,
And everything fades,
Watching the sunset,
Looking at the stars,
But it all feels the same,
Dull, hollow and numb,
What is there to do
When she feels hopeless,
Welcomed with open arms,
But her spirit drained and damaged,
Empty roads ahead,
Traveling alone and broken,
She's holding on to all the pain,
Refuses to let it go,
Hurts so bad, feels so good,
Smoking her life away,
Sweeped in endless illusions,
Green, gray and black,
Senseless and motionless,
When she lives among the darkness
She feels estranged.

A lonely night feels so good,
A spirit left on the road,
A wondering heart of stone,
A morbid face brought along,
A bird of paradise in the air,
A flash, it all disappears,
And now she feels left alone.

A cold night to forget,
A light that never shines again,
A fresh memory now fades,
A tear of joy turns to dust,
A clear sky turns dark gray,
A picture of love turns to hate.

Alone in the darkness,
Alone in the ditch,
Alone when surrounded,
Alone feels so good,
Morbid realities,
She was left out in the cold,
All ears but closed eyes,
Wondering in the rain
Looking for herself,
A shot in the sky,
Blind as ever,
She crashed and burn
So many times,
So little left,
Worked out in the open,
Living with scars and pain,
She never goes home,
She doesn't have a home,
Through different seasons,
She remains the same
Until the day she dies,
When she lives alone
She feels estranged.

No Name, No Face [5:44]

Never satisfied,
Always changing my mind,
Thinking deeper,
Feeling awkward,
Blasting away
To what I'd never give in.

I respect you,
But I'd never be with you,
Don't come knocking on my door,
I might just sin there and again,
Try to be polite,
Don't try to soothe me with your bullshit!

Tough decisions,
Sink in and sinking out,
I can read your mind,
So don't say a word,
Looking out for me
Is part of your plan.

I respect you,
But I'd never be with you,
Don't come knocking on my door,
I might just sin there and again,
Try to be polite,
Don't try to soothe me with your bullshit!

What they've got
Won't last forever,
I know you
Like the back of my hand,
Preaching the world,
But I'll change channel when you're on t.v.

What degree do you have
To get me to believe,
I got to eat some bread,
I got to drink some wine,
Everything that you do,
Won't bring me to you.

I respect you,
But I'd never be with you,
Don't come knocking on my door,
I might just sin there and again,
Try to be polite,
Don't try to soothe me with your bullshit!

Russian roulette,
Look at their lives
That you've messed up,
Teaching myself
To never give up,
Now get off my back!

Everything so true,
Everyone's such a saint,
But until you prove it
What ever you say is a lie,
Don't look at me
Like i'm some sort of disease.

I respect you,
But I'd never be with you,
Don't come knocking on my door,
I might just sin there and again,
Try to be polite,
Don't try to soothe me with your bullshit!
