Here's the thing we started out friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah
Since U Been Gone
You dedicated you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah Yeah
Since U Been Gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
But Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
What I want
Since U Been Gone
How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah
Since U Been Gone
How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
I guess you never felt that way
But Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get (I get) what I want
Since U Been Gone
You had your chance you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again
Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get, I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know)
That I get, I get what I want
Since U Been Gone
Since U Been Gone
Since U Been Gone
For once my eyes are open to you, and everything you’ve said.
For once your web of lies is in the open.
I gave you everything I had, until I had nothing left.
I see you act as if I’m just a burden.
I’ve finally let go.
Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
Cause I’m so done playing these games with my heart
I’ve been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.
I’ve been swallowed by this wreck that you call your life.
I’m damaged from the inside. I’ve been broken.
Don’t threaten me with what you think I feel.
If you could read my mind you’d be in tears.
I’m sick of your excuses you hold above me.
I’ve finally come to terms with what I am.
I’m nothing in your eyes, and this will not change. I’m living in a dream.
Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
Cause I’m so done playing these games with my heart
I’ve been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.
And I’ll close my eyes, and dream of a better time
when I’m finally past this and happy on my own.
I’ve done all I can, and I’ve still been cast aside.
All I ever wanted to be was be the one who would wipe those tears from your eyes.
But I guess I’ll play second best, to a world that will never care about you.
When will you understand to them you’re just another pretty face?
You’ll tell me that you care, and then you run straight back to him.
I can hear your words of treason from a mile away.
You never did know how to whisper.(whisper, whisPER!)
You're such a liar. Tell me the truth.
Do the world a favor stop cutting your arms, and slit your throat.
Something’s wrong and it’s not me for once, and I know you’ll call me crazy…
but I hate the way you look straight through me.
What have I don’t that’s so wrong?
Remember me when I’m so far from your reach,
and then you’ll know you had your chance.
Take one more glance, and that’s the end of our romance.
You’ve turned your back on me for the last time.
Remember when we use to be friends?
Nothing could ever go wrong, or so we thought,
but I guess you’ve changed a lot since we were young.
Times will change, and there’s nothing I can say to right all of your wrongs.
Just grow up, and pray we’ll keep in touch.
You’ve turned your back on me for the last time.
I still dream of the day that I watched you choke.
They’ll act like I’m so crazy when they find you dead on my floor.
Right now.
I’d say something went wrong in our lives, and I pray that god saves us before we die.
He’s everything that you could never be.
Right now.
I’d say something went wrong in our lives, and I pray that god saves us before we die.
Slowly die.
We welcome you to the second chapter
Thanks for turning the other page
We acknowledge you as the only reason for the progress that we've made
You're our constant reminder
we came we saw we conquered
Everything has gone so far
From where we were before
Well keep this short and sweet so I'll, Get to the point!
My friends come first
That's the bottom line
My friends come first
That's the bottom line
My friends come first
That's the bottom line
My friends come first
That's the bottom line
That's the bottom line
They've said the futures never getting older
Well the tables do turn
Where will you be?
this is my vengeance for all the wrongs
you've formed against us
you always get me wrong
my whole existence revolves around the progress that we've made
i'll never be walked on again
i'm on the edge of the rooftop
thinking nobody will ever know
i hope that you'd want to be the one to see
the distance from the road
this is our triumph over all the forms of filth you've spread
well never let this go
right from the very start i knew this day would come
tonights the night we silence you
there's nowhere left to run
let this be your reminder
i'm everything that you wanted to be
hope for the best but it's over
and you thought you were better than me
such a pretty picture
your chalk line on the ground
i hope you die
It's Monday morning
And I would kill for a chance to drive
Get so far away from here with you my dear
That I'll never leave your side
Nobody knows the troubles I've seen
In a van, on a soapbox for the world to see
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
We're getting older
I've started to fear for my life
is this the way that it should be?
this whole thing's riding on me
it's been a long road so far
nowhere to turn
There's no looking back from here
no more dwelling on my fears
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time
[x3]
And I'll scream
so loud that everyone in this place
Will hear every word I say
'cause this is my time, this is my time to shine
let nothing stand in our way
[x2]
Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time
94 hours of regret for me to realize what i held
unfading beauty, not just a face
i held its innocence within my heart,
no,
no,
i won't let go,
no,
no,
now i won't let go
the torment of your eyes has awakened my soul
the pain of a moment's time will forever beg your forgiveness
For so long i have felt alone
content to live with unrest
longing faded into countless nights
that buried my weary heart
but you brought an end
to this dead hour
and meaning to a calloused life
held in your arms
but too far from my heart
these thoughts will carry me through
the darkest nights
while your eyes rested in mine
i remember the way you looked at me
and the way you drew me close
with one deep sigh
scattering pieces of my restless mind
forgetting all that we have left behind
We have all heard what we wanted to hear
truth that sounds right to our ears
but what wisdom is there within us
to live based on the feeling of our hearts
how many times has instinct let us down
never to be thought through
never to be questioned
say what you really mean
when your ambition calls you
for what use is there in praying
if you will only hear what you want to hear?
we have all heard what we wanted to hear
truth that sounds right to our ears
we speak of fighting to resist this world
but what about the battle within us?
if we have chosen to live against the grain
then why are we all facing the same way?
there is no difference between us and them
if we all blindly seek truth from sentiments
we have all heard what we wanted to hear
truth that sounds right to our ears
You sat and watched
As I nearly destroyed myself
Never had I felt so betrayed
That you would sacrifice my life
For no more than comfort
And now your love means nothing to me
You are a coward, the antithesis of a friend
Take action before there is
No one left to defend
For I would have stood by you
Right to the gates of hell
Tell me, the thing you know that I've never known before. The things in life that will just make us wanting more. So we could think of something new and make it true. This is a feeling that i get when I am falling for you. It's that choice that I've made.
Chorus One:
We can go, as far as we want, without any doubt for us. Just promise me that, you'll stay with me here and I will give us, the life we both want. Live the life we both want.
Verse Two:
Back when, the things that we have pictured when we were so young, would live inside us like the everlasting sun. Now understanding that so many things have changed. It's the choices we've made.
Chorus Two:
We can go, as far as we want, without any doubt for us. Just promise me that, you'll stay with me here and I will give us, the life we both want. Live the life we both want.
Verse Three:
Keeping things as good as they are, won't take as much as we call a reason to try to stay up when we're down on the ground. In this choice that we've made.
Chorus Three:
We can go, as far as we want, without any doubt for us. Just promise me that, you'll stay with me here and I will give us, the life we both want. Live the life we both want.
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
I have my mother's dreams,
I have my father's eyes,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.
The cursed city sleeps,
Watch ions in the sky,
Preparing to unleash,
Let loose a mighty cry.
Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The pyre is burning,
The severance is dying.
And all along they say it.
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand to help see.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.
Five thousand feet below,
As black smoke engulfs the sky,
The ocean floor explodes,
Eleven mothers cry.
My bones all resonate,
A burning lullaby,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.
She says that's the shoreline,
With hands in the air,
Her words miss the dark light,
Does anyone care?
And all along they say it.
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand, to help see.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.
Right here! Right here! [x3]
Choking on the black gold,
Upon which we rely,
We keep actions in the attics,
To see cameras in the sky.
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
We were told just to sit tight,
Cause somebody will soon arrive.
Help is on the way.
But it never came!
It never came!
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand, to help see.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.
On the way.

WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR!
Barbarisms by Barbaras
With pointed heels.
Victorious, victories kneel.
For brand new spankin' deals.
Marching forward hypocritic
And hypnotic computers.
You depend on our protection,
Yet you feed us lies from the table cloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Kneeling roses disappearing,
Into Moses' dry mouth,
Breaking into Fort Knox,
Stealing our intentions,
Hangars sitting dripped in oil,
Crying FREEDOM!
Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the table cloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Blast off, it's party time,
And we don't live in a fascist nation,
Blast off, it's party time,
And where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor? [X4]
Kneeling roses disappearing,
Into Moses' dry mouth,
Breaking into Fort Knox,
Stealing our intentions,
Hangars sitting dripped in oil,
Crying FREEDOM!
Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sun
Where the fuck are you!
Where the fuck are you!
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor? [X3]
Why, do, they always send the poor [X3]
They only send the poor [x2]
