Lets get behind the camera Lets get some pics of the kids Lets get some pics of some shithead Not even sure what they did You bet it all on a lame horse, Its plated gold on a pewter face These tiny moments are worth so much more Ask yourself whose got you running in place You got down on all fours, You got dragged down by that beast you chase Like Bonnie Tyler cried, I'm holding on for a hero You can't sell your soul to be famous If theres nothing there to be sold You gotta count on all of the hopeless, looking to like and share what they're told We call them genius for nothing A worthless casket to hold our faith We're trapping stars on the sidewalk We give so much to those who only take Like Bonnie Tyler cried, I'm holding on for a hero Hold on til the morning light gotta be strong gotta be fast gotta be fresh from the fight Hero Hold on til the morning light gotta be strong gotta be fast gotta be fresh from the fight Like Bonnie Tyler cried, I'm holding on for a hero

Angie, I'm sorry I pissed in your car We were just playing and I took it too far I was a clown, avenging my heart Your windows down and jackass friends played a part But you should know I'm not that guy anymore... At least I don't think so You never know whats in store So here you go, heres my apology You were the best girl that I never had The petty vandalism was my bad And other Angie, I'm sorry I called you fat To all my friends you were a bitch But no one deserves that You opened up to an angry jerk like me And now in time I've come to find that I like em curvy You should know I'm not that guy anymore... At least I don't think so You never know whats in store So here you go, heres my apology You were the best big girl I've ever had The childish shit talking was my bad. My bad.

Infantry 03:15
We stepped in time and marched until the dawn We formed our lines and strapped the armour on We've drawn the cross, and made our peace with God We've sharpened blades and sang our battle songs I swear I got your back if you've got mine No matter how the odds are stacked, we'll kill in kind We'll climb the bodies to the top, and stake our claim On the dying and the maimed Throw your weapons to the sky, raise your voices high MAY THE FALLEN FIND A GOD TO SIT BESIDE Scream your battle cries, let them echo in the night MAY THE FALLEN FIND A GOD TO SIT BESIDE Unspoken bonds, fear is in the air A comrade falls, another soul is there The smell of blood is everywhere Throw your weapons to the sky, raise your voices high MAY THE FALLEN FIND A GOD TO SIT BESIDE Scream your battle cries, let them echo in the night MAY THE FALLEN FIND A GOD TO SIT BESIDE Throw your weapons to the sky, raise your voices high MAY THE FALLEN FIND A GOD TO SIT BESIDE Scream your battle cries, let them echo in the night MAY THE FALLEN FIND A GOD TO SIT BESIDE

Dumper 02:59
We lost the touch, it took to much to keep the flame alive We tried and tried to stand with a broken crutch But fall we did. We kept it civil for the kids, though not at night Not at our most familiar times We'd scream and fight and I'd say things that crossed the line Every time I crossed the line That night I drove you out the door you headed straight to the liquor store I didn't care You wouldn't be back anymore I didn't care you wouldn't be back any more Forever The last I heard its just a word To think that two jerks like us could make it there is just absurd Don't know the moment when the light began to fade It's probably not you, so don't beat yourself up babe If I may be so bold, this love has gotten old Our secrets have been told, your side of the bed is growing cold If I may be so bold, this love has gotten old Our secrets have been told, your side of the bed is growing cold We rode the ship to the sea floor And love don't live here any more It's time to sell the house and put the dog to sleep I hope you wind up with a real fuckin creep If I may be so bold, this love has gotten old Our secrets have been told, your side of the bed is growing cold If I may be so bold, this love has gotten old Our secrets have been told, your side of the bed is growing cold

50 Winks 02:35
I'm in a dream state, but I haven't dreamt in days Might need some restraint to keep me from striking lames This coffee sucks, you stupid fucks, it tastes like pepper spray I'm barely alive, so sleep deprived Running on pure rage So I toss and turn Punch at the sound, kick at the light Silence is golden and I'll be told when I can sleep But not tonight Threw my alarm clock through a fuckin wall I just don't see the point if I never lay, I only fall Sleep when I'm dead Bon Jovi said, but he's never watched me crawl In from another winkless night, I'm not alive at all So fuck your pills and your good will Somebody fix my brain The sun will rise, the sun will set, from here it looks the same So I toss and turn Kick at the sound, punch at the light Silence is golden and I'll be told when I can sleep But not tonight Sunrise. Sunset. So I toss and turn Punch at the sound, kick at the light Silence is golden and I'll be told when I can sleep But not tonight

Escape 03:35
You ever wonder what we're running from? What is waiting when the running's done? Maybe the pace is slower on the other side, I'm wondering Isn't it funny how we missed it all? We broke our backs and so we had to crawl Our teeth are busted cuz we've eaten all our pride We're suffering I wonder if they know That I'd leave this all behind I'd catch a one way flight We sit in traffic for a job we hate Stand in line like there is no escape Politicians are an easy thing to buy, just name your price We see the world through a fuckin screen And let our neighbours suffer in the streets I can feel the darkness growing from inside, I'm terrified What would they say? If I quietly stepped aside To live a different kind of life I wonder if they know That I'd leave this all behind I'd catch a one way flight What would they say? If I quietly stepped aside To live a different kind of life

Rocket 02:39
They hear me coming I hear em choking on my smoke A buck and a half on a two stroke I'm fucking screaming A kevlar knight A winged skull upon the dot The smell of fuel, an engine hot Red hot 49 ccs if your not counting me I am a rocket Its for the best you let me pass Much more combustable than gas I'm setting fire to the street Ablaze on 49 ccs I am the law This pavement is my down The thunders coming down I'm lightning on the ground A plastic stallion with a rider made of steel Atomic bomb on two wheels Rage in motion 49 ccs if your not counting me I am a rocket Its for the best you let me pass Much more combustable than gas I'm setting fire to the street Ablaze on 49 ccs

So many lessons learned, so many stitches earned So nice to build a bridge instead of watch it burn We would take turns opening every door as we explored If I could just go back, I would relive every time We would go walking through those condemned houses If I could just go back, I would rewrite every line That we scrawled inside those condemned houses We would sit on the floor wondering who came before We were never bored Sometimes we'd destroy, and chalk it up to boys just being boys We were just boys If I could just go back, I would relive every time We would go walking through those condemned houses If I could just go back, I would rewrite every line That we scrawled inside those condemned houses They were everything, from a battlefield To a broken castle for young kings If I could just go back, I would relive every time We would go walking through those condemned houses If I could just go back, I would rewrite every line That we scrawled inside those condemned houses

Face Hole 02:46
I'm gonna turn it up, so turn it down or turn me off I got this voice. Don't look at me like that, its not my choice I'd rather have the tools to not be awkward in a crowd I'm too loud My soap box is so comfy now I can't stop whats inside my stupid fucking face from falling out I got this voice Its a blessing Its a curse I guess it could be so much worse I got this voice You've got a voice So why let them decide when its your choice Your silence has you sounding terrified and unprepared Open your mouth And let that shit inside your sore/soul pour out Open your eyes, open your mouth Open your mind, open your mouth I got this voice Its a blessing Its a curse I guess it could be so much worse I got this voice I'm gonna turn it up, so turn it down or turn me off
