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 aint easy, loving me is hard
I'm sorry about the madness but that's the way its gotta be
'cause it takes a crazy womon to love a reckless man like 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

Roses On My Grave


It feels like i'm looking at life
Through a telescope because i'm so high
The ground never seemed so far away
Truth shall be told one day
I'll be under ground one day
I've got a woman that'll putt roses on my grave
Roses on my grave
Feels like i'm looking at life
Through a telescope because i'm so high
And the ground never seemed so far away
Truth shall be told one day
I'll be under ground one day
Don't forget me
Please forgive me
It's my redemption
Time for redemption
I'll see you on the other side

SOS


I'm feeling on top of the world
I'm feeling like I can't do wrong
I'm thinking everything is fine
I'm caught up in the smoke and the mirrors

People that you think are your friends
Might be the people that want to drag you down
You've got to look out pull yourself tonight
Don't get lost in the smoke and mirrors

Line after line
Time after time

It's the same old sad story
He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind
It's the same old sad story
He's lost

I'm tripping I'm over the edge
I'm falling and I've got no wings
I'm praying I'll make it through tonight
I'm caught up in the smoke and the mirrors

I'm living in a prison cell
I'm strung out in downtown hell
I'm looking for my self-deny
I've got lost in the smoke and mirrors

Line after line
Time after time

It's the same old sad story
He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind
It's the same old sad story
He's lost

(This is an SOS [X6] Yeah!)

It's the same old sad story
He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind
It's the same old sad story
He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind

Out of his mind, doing that time
Walking a line, doing that time

(This is an SOS [X6] Yeah!)

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

Getting Away With Murder (2004)



Blood
Not Listening
Stop Looking
Take Me
Getting Away With Murder
Be Free
Done With You
Scars
Sometimes
Blanket Of Fear
Tyranny Of Normality
Do Or Die

Not Listening


I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore, No

Cause You gotta be bigger, be faster, be stronger
If your gonna survive any longer
In this lifetime, it better be the right time
The first time might be your last time
Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose
No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove

[Chorus:]
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore

Cause I've lost my innocence
And I'm a stranger, A life changer
I'm a man thats not afraid of danger
I walk my own path, and blaze my own trail
Because I'm not afraid to derail
I won't get in line or be a middle man
So fuck you I'll make my own plan
And I got respect and I don't neglect
The people that I really care to protect
Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose
No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove

[Chorus]

I told you before, wont listen no more
I told you before, lets settle the score
I told you before, wont listen no more
I told you before, lets settle the score

If not me then who?
If not now then when?
If not me then who?
If not now then when?

[Chorus]

I told you before, wont listen no more
I told you before, lets settle the score
I told you before, wont listen no more
I told you before, lets settle the score

Set it off right now
Blow it up, set it off
Fuck it up, set it off
Blow it up, Blow it up right now

Stop Looking


Hit or miss, fuck a 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 found these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
Theres a time to lead and to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
I found these walls before (these walls)
Theres a time to lead and to follow (these walls)

I see the walls closing in
And I feel like I'm in danger
My enemy is not alone
In the mirror, theres 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
Stop seeing NOW
Right Now [x2]

The truth doesn't always have to hurt

[Chorus]

Stop Looking


Hit or miss, fuck a 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 found these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
Theres a time to lead and to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
I found these walls before (these walls)
Theres a time to lead and to follow (these walls)

I see the walls closing in
And I feel like I'm in danger
My enemy is not alone
In the mirror, theres 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
Stop seeing NOW
Right Now [x2]

The truth doesn't always have to hurt

[Chorus]

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

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]
