Why can't we turn it all around turn it all around turn it all turn it all right around now? Shut your mouth shut your pretty little mouth You're a head case and everyone knows That you're a villain in disguise got the devil in your eyes Taking cheap shots putting me down I don't want to hear a word not another fucking word Save it all for someone who cares Wipe the tear out of your eye put your vanity aside It's enough to make it all clear I've been wasting time believing all these lies So why can't we turn it all around turn it all around turn it all turn it all right around now Shut your eyes shut your pretty little eyes Shut 'em so tight that you can't see That there's no one else to blame for your misery and shame You're a victim of your own ways I don't want to hear a word not another fucking word Save it all for someone who cares Wipe the tear out of your eye put your vanity aside It's enough to make it all clear

Chasing Lies 03:54
I've been taking back my life and now my pride one piece at a time I've been waiting for so long to see this through Got a solid brick foundation built on truth I hold self-evident It was my mistake to put my trust in you But I'll find my way back home again I'm battered, broken, torn apart and feeling helpless But you won't ever hear me say I'm sorry It's times like these that help me find just what I'm looking for That's one thing you can't take away from me It's not good form to bite the hand that feeds When you're not prepared to lose everything I've been chasing lies, been chasing lies now to make sense of all of this You know we're chasing lies When everything is gone and there's nothing left to lose You can either sink or swim, it shouldn't be that hard to choose They say that life goes on, that you'll learn to let it go So I'm picking myself up and I'm finding my way home....

Sitting on top of the world now for a little while watching as the days go by in the blink of an eye There's something scary about it all I've been waiting for the end to arrive now In a flash with little hesitation you're taking everything I'm left with nothing but memories that are stacked into a corner And waiting on a final resting place Somewhere close yet still so far away Struggling now is useless It's a waste of time as we move along There's no such thing as ordinary It's a shame, we had such a good life Now we'll wave these violent goodbyes Don't say tomorrow's just another day So now it's on to a new start in a new place a brand new beginning I'll take things a day at a time There's something scary about it all All this change is coming down like a firestorm of surrender and resignation You're taking everything I'm left with nothing but memories that are stacked into a corner and Waiting on a final resting place Somewhere close yet still so far away Struggling now is useless It's a waste of time as we move along There's no such thing as ordinary It's a shame, we had such a good life Now we'll wave these violent goodbyes Don't say tomorrow's just another day It's a long road back to the Good Life If I take my time and my own advice Is resolution just a day away? Somewhere in this mess somewhere in this nightmare she's alone Somewhere in this mess somewhere here are the answers she controls Somewhere in this mess somewhere while this tragedy unfolds There's a silver lining meant for me We used to have it all...

Jimmy Legs 03:05
Crank up the lights now and take the stage Watch all the girls with the Jimmy Legs This new religion's going off like a powder keg Ain't got no rhythm, got no effect on me They shake it up, down, then side to side Inebriation sells the perfect crime Rags to riches who's the next in the party line? To work the rhythm, one chance to get it right Let's take a minute to decide Sometimes the battles that we're fighting are just never worth the time Right now it's imperative we find Something more than what they're telling us is popular tonight Spontaneous combustions line the floor So fucking high now they're wanting more Just a little bit to get them all through that door To feel the rhythm, to get a fix for the night So shoot it up, shoot it outta sight Shut your eyes and enjoy the ride Hell no, you can't refuse it's just one more time You got the rhythm, yeah you'll get it right

Revelations 03:29
When I was young my father said he'd like to introduce someone We shook hands and then he said that the pleasure's all mine He said, "Take my hand and follow me I'll lead you to the promised land. Believe in me and I'll make sure everything is all right" He said walk with me son and I will always guide your way Home tonight, I'll be there when you're feeling alone tonight I'll wash away the last of your sins this time As long as you devote your life For some time now I've been feeling like I should apologize For 20 years I've disappointed and I've let him down But I'll take my stand and maybe I"ll regret it in the afterlife Maybe he'll look back and question all that he's found I'm ok living without you.

Now we're dusted up broken and battered and bruised Cursed these walls and made claims that we're not scared to lose But the truth is so much worse While you're begging for fights and for more of my time I've kept quiet so long no I'm laughing inside There's no rest for weary hearts Now I'm moving on without you along Here's to all the days I was wrong I'm leaving I drink whiskey with ice while you're sipping on wine I lean to the left you lean far to the right There's no common middle ground You're forever in debt while I've paid all my dues Your glass is half empty while I'm just a fool For believing in everything Now I'm moving on without you along Here's to all the days that I've done you wrong For the 25th time I'm out I'm leaving Now I'm lousy with anger you're stuck in denial Just give me an inch and I'll take 40 miles Is this how we fade away So let's smash all these bottles go down with a fight I'll slip out the back recede into the night This is how we fade away Now I'm moving on without you along Here's to all the days that you've done me wrong For the 25th time I'm out For the last fucking time I'm out I'm leaving Are you still hanging on while I'm trying to move on Are you down on your knees to pray or down on your knees to beg?
