Give me the lighter, I'm leaving
This place is tying me down
Ain't got no reason to be here darling
So I'm leaving this town
This place is too small for me
I'm gonna burn it down
You and me can run away
Leave behind this broken town
All you have to say is...
Give me the lighter, I'm leaving
I'll leave behind this town
Ain't got no reason to be here darling
Can't stop me leaving now
This place is too small for me
I'm gonna burn it down
You and me can run away
Leave behind this broken town
All you have to say is...

Dear America

We're going to war, and you know the score
I hid the aliens but you wanted more
I gave you the key to fly to the moon
You wanted more, I'll be seeing you soon
You never called to ask how I've been
Now I'm out of hospital and everythings
Lies, disguises, my whole life is
not done yet need to past the time it's
payback time, I'll take your lives,
America, here we go!
This is your life, dear America
I'm doing fine, dear America
If you've got the time, dear America
Drop me a line, dear America
I'm back for revenge, yes I'm back again
A thousand years of pulling the chains
I established all your laws and decrees
Where would you be if it wasn't for me?
You see here, I'm immortal
I've lived a billion years
I thought I'd help America
When she was full of tears
And this is how they repay me
Not even a single call?
I could have been dying
So now I'll kill you all.
This is your life, dear America
I'm doing fine, dear America
If you've got the time, dear America
Ask ''Gabi why'', dear America
Gabi why do you kill me
Gabi why
Gabi why
This is your life, dear America

Nearly The End
04:28
|
|||
|
Skies went black, the ones who fell will not come back
Their bodies lost to the dead's digestion
We're the survivors of natural selection
Save me from the dark, let me seek refuge in your heart.
Heaven was a lie that we were told as kids at night
And now the world's been set alight and
We are fallen
If we could start again than humankind would just pretend
The world was always gonna end and
We'd all fall
The last bell tolls, my shadow fades and I lose control
My friends beside me have no other choice
They have to silence this foreign voice
Save me from the dark, let me seek refuge in your heart
Heaven was a lie that we were told as kids at night
And now the world's been set alight and
We are fallen
If we could start again than humankind would just pretend
The world was always gonna end and
We'd all fall

When The Dark
04:06
|

When the dark collides with the sun
That's where you are
And if my heart breaks into more pieces than one
I'll know you're gone
This comes as a surprise to me, that the sun has been so kind to me
These past months and now I'm trying to see how the world has kept itself spinning
Without tearing me apart to figure out how my mind works, if I still have doubts
And now it seems it need to pry again into my head, find ways to turn friends into
Reasons for stress, and poison things I've done
That kept me moving forward except for one
Thing that has been constant and has fought away the darkness
Took me so long to figure out how to do this
Explain how protected I feel when she's near
Her embraces break the face of any fear
She helps me stand upon two feet when times are hard
When I can't carry on, when.. When the dark..
When the dark collides with the sun
That's where you are
And if my heart breaks into more pieces than one
I'll know you're gone
But at times the fragments of my mind
create scenarios where my life's been petrified
Flashing images and sounds scream into the night
So I gravitate to memories to help me feel alright
Morning comes and nightmares fade away,
but I wish that I could stay
In her arms till the end of days but
I know the universe will put something in our way
And place us in situations and make us take on our desolation
and face off against our fears till the end of years
when the rain clouds clear out, the lights all come down
And even if we fall, and smash against the floor
the shattered glow will keep us close and
whoah
whoah oh
When the dark collides they'll keep us close
When the dark collides with the sun
That's where you are
And if my heart breaks into more pieces than one
I'll know you're gone
This comes as a surprise to me that the sun has been so kind to me
(Resist the darkness)
And your light has finally set me free to a thousand possibilities
(We can pull through this)
And I'll pry into my mind to figure out how to halt every single doubt
(Resist the darkness, We can pull through this)
When the dark collides with the sun
That's where you are
And if my heart breaks into more pieces than one
I'll know you're gone

Asphyxiated
02:55
|
|||
|
I exhale everytime you're near, your cigarette smoke is fogging up my air
And I never used to care, but as of late can't help but hate the colours in your hair
Undeserving of attention, skipping your detentions, killing my -
And though your presence is debated, I feel asphyxiated and I can't seem to
I can't seem to breath
Lost control of my hands and organs expanding
I can't even scream
Though my heart's relaxing, I am
And maybe I'm the problem, that though does come to mind
Pour my brain onto the table, let's see what we can find
A menagerie of memories are slowly taking over me
Gradually you'll start to see I'm questioning my sanity
Opinions never really been a concept that has bothered me
My tolerance is wavering and I can't seem to
I can't seem to breath
Lost control of my hands and organs expanding
I can't even scream
Though my heart's relaxing, I am freaking
I can't seem to breath
Lost control of my hands and organs expanding
I can't even scream
Though my heart's relaxing,
I am freaking out!

Lost In Your Eyes
04:43
|

|
He wakes up empty, in the mirror he only sees failure and misery
He's had plenty of taunts thrown at him, no respect for him and he
Only finds a way out of the dark, and the words, and the lies
Only finds the reason to live when he looks in your eyes.
I am falling, I am crawling, I am losing all I have
I am frozen, I have broken what I try to have
I am falling, I am crawling I am losing all I have
I am frozen, I am lost in your eyes
She wakes up tired, and the marks on her arms tell of events transpired
Keeps her head higher, but she still burns inside like a witch on the pyre
Only finds a way out of the dark, and the words, and the lies
Only finds the reason to live when she looks in your eyes.
I am falling, I am crawling, I am losing all I have
I am frozen, I have broken what I try to have
I am falling, I am crawling I am losing all I have
I am frozen, I am lost in your eyes

Just keep on moving till we see the end
I promise you that
This pain will someday end
Na Na Na Na Na
Yeah, this pain will someday end
Na Na Na Na Na Na

Ignite the flame, burn all the shame, I promise that
This pain will someday end

Wanna Be Loved

Say what you need to say, cos I wanna hear the excuse that you make up today
And I know you said we're only human, so stay
You know that we
We just wanna be, wanna be loved.
We just wanna be, wanna be loved.
Go if you have to go, but you can't walk back through that door once its been closed
And I know you said we're only human so go
Well, don't you know?
We just wanna be, wanna be loved.
We just wanna be, wanna be loved.
And I'm sick to my stomach, I've messed up another
Perfect, gotta be mad or unloved
We just wanna be
Loved
We just wanna be, wanna be loved.
We just wanna be, wanna be loved.
And I'm sick to my stomach, I've messed up another
Perfect, gotta be mad or unloved
We just wanna be, wanna be loved.

I get up, I wake up, I shake up your life
So get up, and make up your monotinous night life
So call all your friends, and tell them that you're there
and you don't wanna waste more time.
Cos even when I'm feeling down
Life takes my frown and tells me ''Get your ass up, remember''
This is Radikal (Woah)
Radikal my friend (Whoah)
This is Radikal (Whoah)
Lemmie tell you again (Whoah)
Now you're here, don't waste time
Get out there, get out and shine
Burn your past, become the light
Get out there and live the night
Anytime you're feeling down
Turn up your speakers, listen, I'mma scream it out
This is Radikal (Woah)
Radikal my friend (Whoah)
This is Radikal (Whoah)
Lemmie tell you again (Whoah)
Nothing is wrong everything is fine.
Nothing is wrong.
Everything is Radikal
Radikal.
Woo!
