LYRICS. ALBUM SPOILERS.

[lepetitpote]

Hmmm, no profanity whatsoever in this album...

That's nice for a change

I agree. While I don't mind profanity, I tend to prefer clean LP. Aside from Hands Held High, I've never really thought their profanity helped the song.

[Justin V.]

"I can't C-Flat, it ain't my tone." I love that. Mike isn't one for pure rap-style wordplay and I like when he sprinkles in these kind of things with his more metaphorical style.

UNTIL IT BREAKS

It goes a one, two, three....

(I was born with) the hunger of a lion, the strength of a sun.
I don't need to sweat it when the competition come
Original style like an 808 drum, so I don't run the track.
No, I make the track run.
My mama taught me words, my dad, he built rockets.
I put 'em both together now, tell me what I got.
It's a pretty smart weapon:
I can shoot it, I can drop it.
(But) learn to respect it cause you clearly can't stop it like that.

Yea it aint over, cause the sharks on the left side, the snakes on the right.
And anything you do, they wanna get a little bite.
It really doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right.
Cause once you get the teeth in, nothing really fights.

Except for me, I do it like I got nothing to lose
and you can run your mouth like you could try to fill my shoes.
But steady little soldier, I ain't standing next to you.
I'd be laying on the ground before you're even in my view.
Like that.

Give me the strength of the rising sun.
Give me the truth of the words unsung.
And when the large bells ring, the poor men sing
"Bring me to kingdom come"

This is something for your people on the block to/black out and rock to,
Give you whatcha need like Papa/Who shot ya
Separate the weak from the obselete, you're meek, I creep hard on imposters
And switch styles on the dime/Quick witted ya'll/Quit tripping
I don't have time for your crying
I grind tough, sucka, make your mind up,
Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?
Bang bang/Little monkey man playing
With the big guns will only get you slayed and I ain't playing
I'm just saying / You ain't gotta sliver of a chance
I get iller, I deliver/While you quiver in your pants,
So shake shake down/Money, here's the break down
You can play the bank/I'ma play the bank take down
And no mistakes now/I'm coming to getcha
I'm a Banksy/You're a Brainwash, get the picture?/
It's like that..

We swim against the rising waves and crash against the shore
The body bends until it breaks, the early morning sings no more.
So rest your head, it's time to sleep and dream of what's in store.
The body bends until it breaks, then sings again no more.
Cause time has torn the flesh away, the early morning sings no more...

Also corrected the LITE, and Castle Of Glass lyrics in the first post. Too tired to do the others right now.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I remember back during the nu metal days they said that swearing was a lazy form of expression, so it's nice they've gone back to that belief.

Haha I didn't even notice there was no profanity!

I think it would be more accurate to change "Papa/Who shot ya" with "Poppa/Who Shot Ya", since I think it's a Biggie reference. And also it's "I'm just a Banksy".

[Fusionxtreme]

Lyrics are looking much better, good job!
Though, I still think the second verse of I'll Be Gone starts out with "This air between us is getting thinner now", rather than "The sand".

[Justin V.]

I think it would be more accurate to change "Papa/Who shot ya" with "Poppa/Who Shot Ya", since I think it's a Biggie reference. And also it's "I'm just a Banksy".

I would vote for: Poppa/"Who Shot Ya" since B.I.G. did the song with the name Who Shot Ya.

Sample lyrics:
Who shot ya?
Separate the weak from the ob-so
-lete, Hard to creep them Brooklyn streets
It's on nigga, fuck all that bickering beef
I can hear sweat trickling down your cheek
Your heartbeat soun' like Sasquatch feet
Thundering, shaking the concrete
Finish it, stop, when I foil the plot
Neighbors call the cops said they heard mad shots

[Bubbles]

You have in LITE that mike says

So you can let it be known, I don't hold back, I hold my own.
I can't be matched, I can't be cloned./I can't C-Flat, it ain't my tone.

I'm pretty sure he says mapped, not matched.

I originally thought "there's no way, that doesn't make more sense than matched". But I think you're right. Kind of like mapping DNA.

Keep all the revisions coming, guys! We want to be as accurate as possible.

[Jeff]

This might just be me, but in VICTIMIZED, it sounds like Mike is saying

"I ain't scared of your teeth / I admire what's in em."

But I could be wrong.

[Lazarus]

LOL I knew Chester said "Like shining oil" in that preview of IBG!

Lyrics seem sick btw.

[Mark]

First verse of LITE:

"There and back, yet my soul aint sell." = "There and back, yet my sold ain't sailed."?

[ambergirl87]

lyrics are great...man i'm even more exited now!!!! wohoooooo 26 june!!!!! <3

[rgillies]

Pretty sure on In My Remains the chorus is "set the silence free" not "so let the silence ring"

[Jesse]

Okay, I listened to the songs and found a lot of errors and also saw the corrections here. Thanks everyone, I edited the first post with the corrections!

There's still some minor errors and I've just gone through everything adding the revisions people have made and making sure the grammar is correct etc. and I think these are the right lyrics...

LOST IN THE ECHO

Yeah!
Yo/You were that/Foundation/Never gonna be another one, no
I followed/So taken/So conditioned I could never let go
Then sorrow/Then sickness/Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow/So vicious/So afraid I couldn't let myself see
That I could never be held/Back or up/No/I hold myself
Check the rep/Yep/You know mine well/Forget the rest/Let them know my hell
There and back yet/My soul ain't sell/Kept respect of the best/They fell
Let the rest be the tale they tell/And I was there saying:

"In these promises broken/Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you go"

Test my will/Test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y'all go hard?/I go smart
How's that working out for y'all in the back, huh?
I've seen that/Frustration/Big cross/Aloft/I don't know
And I've come back/Unshaken/Let down and live and let go
So you can let it be known/I don't hold back/I hold my own
I can't be mapped/I can't be cloned/I can't #C-Flat/It ain't my tone
I can't fall back/I came too far/Hold myself up and earned my scars
Let the bells ring where ever they are/'Cause I was there saying:

"In these promises broken/Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you go"

No/You can tell 'em all now
I don't back up/I don't back down
I don't fold up and I don't bow
I don't roll over/Don't know how
I don't care where/The enemies are
Can't be stopped/All I know/Go hard
Won't forget how/I got this far
And every time saying:

In these promises broken/Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you go

IN MY REMAINS

Separate, sifting through the wreckage, I can't concentrate
Searching for a message in the fear and pain
Broken down and waiting for the chance, to feel alive...

Now in my remains, our promises, they never came
So let this silence free, to wash away the worst of me

Come apart, falling in the cracks of every broken heart
Digging through the wreckage of your disregard
Sinking down and waiting for the chance, to feel alive...

Now in my remains, our promises, they never came
So let this silence free, to wash away the worst of me

Like an army, falling, one by one by one.
Like an army, falling, one by one by one.

Like an army, falling, one by one by one.
Like an army, falling, one by one by one.
Like an army, falling, one by one by one.

Now in my remains, our promises, they never came
So let this silence free, to wash away the worst of me

(One by one, one by one by one)

Like an army falling, one by one by one.
Like an army falling, one by one by one.

BURN IT DOWN

The cycle repeated
As explosions broke in the sky
All that I needed
Was the one thing I couldn't find
And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know

We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

The colors conflicted
As the flames, climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this
But couldn't stop from tearing it down
And you were there at the turn
Caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know

We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

You told me yes
You held me high
And I believed when you told that lie
I played soldier, you played king
And struck me down, when I kissed that ring
You lost that right, to hold that crown
I built you up, but you let me down
So when you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn

And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know

We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn

We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn

We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

LIES GREED MISERY

I'ma be that nail in your coffin. Sayin' that I soften?
I was duckin' down to reload, so you can save your petty explanations.
I don't have the patience. Before you even say it, I know.
You won't let your pride or your ego talk slick to me, no.
That is not the way I get down and look at how you lose your composure
Now let me show you exactly how the breaking point sounds.

I wanna see you choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery

Choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery

What is it you want me to tell ya?
I am not the failure
I would rather live and let be
But you came with the right kinda threat to
Push me to let you know you can't intimidate me
You disrespect me so clearly/Now you better hear me
That is not the way it goes down
You did it to yourself and it's over
Now let me show ya/Exactly how the breaking point sound

I wanna see you choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery

Choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery (x2)

I wanna see you choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery

Choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery

You did it to yourself
(x4)

You did it to yourself!
(x4)

I wanna see you choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery
Choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery

I'LL BE GONE

Like shining oil, this night is dripping down
Stars are slipping down, glistening
And I'm trying not to think what I'm leaving now
And no deceiving now. It's time you let me know.
Let me know...

When the lights go out and we open our eyes
Out there in the silence, I'll be gone
I'll be gone...
Let the sun fade out and another one rise
Climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone
I'll be gone...

This air between us is getting thinner now
Into winter now, bittersweet.
And 'cross that horizon, this sun is setting down
And you're forgetting now, it's time you let me go
Let me go...

When the lights go out and we open our eyes
Out there in the silence, I'll be gone
I'll be gone...
Let the sun fade out and another one rise
Climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone
I'll be gone...

And tell the lie, I couldn't help myself
And tell them I was alone
Oh tell me I am the only one
and there's nothing left to stop me.

When the lights go out and we open our eyes
Out there in the silence, I'll be gone
I'll be gone...
Let the sun fade out and another one rise
Climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone
I'll be gone...

I'll be gone...

CASTLE OF GLASS

Take me down to the river-bend
Take me down to the fighting end
Wash the poison from off my skin
Show me how to be whole again

Fly me up on a silver wing
Past the black where the sirens sing
Warm me up in the nova's glow
And drop me down to the drink below

Cause I'm only a crack, in this castle of glass
Hardly anything left, for you to see
For you to see...

Bring me home in a blinding dream
Through the secrets that I have seen
Wash the sorrow from off my skin
And show me how to be whole again

Cause I'm only a crack, in this castle of glass
Hardly anything left, for you to see
For you to see...

Cause I'm only a crack, in this castle of glass
Hardly anything else, for me to be...

Cause I'm only a crack, in this castle of glass
Hardly anything left, for you to see
For you to see...

VICTIMIZED

No regrets for the confidence betrayed, no more hiding in shadow
'Cause I won't wait for the debt to be repaid
The time has come for you...

Victimized, victimized, never again, victimized
Victimized, victimized, never again, victimized

They're acting like they want a riot/It's a riot I'll give 'em
As the siren climbs higher on this violent rhythm
These snake in the grass/Supplying the venom
I ain't scared of your teeth/I admire what's in 'em
You'll be waiting in the shadows there/Thinking you're hidden
But the truth is you don't have the stomach to get 'em.
Lauren already hit 'em, yeah you got to be kidd'n.
Wanna talk about a victim? Imma put you there with 'em.

Victimized, victimized, never again, victimized
Victimized, victimized, never again, victimized

ROADS UNTRAVELED

Weep not for roads untraveled...
Weep not for paths alone...
'Cause beyond every bend, is a long blinding end
It's the worse kind of pain, I've known...

Give up your heart left broken...
And let that mistake pass on
'Cause the love, that you lost, wasn't worth, what it cost
and in time you'll be glad it's gone...

Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.

Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.

Weep not for roads untraveled...
Weep not for sights unseen...
May your love, never end, and if you, need a friend
There's a seat here, along side me...

Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.

Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.

SKIN TO BONE

Skin to bone, steel to rust. Ash to ashes, dust to dust.
Let tomorrow have its way, with the promises we made.
Skin to bone, steel to rust...

Ash to ashes, dust to dust. Your deception, my disgust.
When your name has finally drawn, I'll be happy that you're gone.
Ash to ashes, dust to dust...

Ahhhh, ash to ashes, dust to dust.
Ahhhh, skin to bone and steel to rust.

Right to left, left to right. Night to day and day to night.
As the starlight fades to grey, I'll be marching far away.
Right to left and left to right...

Ahhhh, ash to ashes, dust to dust.
Ahhhh, skin to bone and steel to rust.

Let tomorrow have its way, with the promises betrayed
Skin to bone and steel to rust...

Skin to bone and steel to rust...
Skin to bone and steel to rust.

UNTIL IT BREAKS

It goes a one, two, three....

I was born with the hunger of a lion/The strength of a sun
I don't need to sweat it when the competition come
Original style like an 808 drum/So I don't run the track
No, I make the track run.
My mama taught me words/My daddy built rockets
I hold 'em both together now/Tell me what I got
It's/A pretty small weapon:
I can shoot it/I can drop it
But/Learn to respect it 'cause you clearly can't stop it like that

Yeah it aint over/'Cause the sharks on the left side/The snakes on the right
And anything you do/They wanna get a little bite
It really doesn't matter if you're wrong/Or if you're right
'Cause/Once you get the teeth in/Nothing really fights

Except for me/I do it like I got nothing to lose
And you can run your mouth like you could try to fill my shoes
But steady little soldier/I ain't standing next to you
I can lay it on the ground before you're even in my view
Like that.

Give me the strength of the rising sun
Give me the truth of the words unsung
And when the last bells ring, the poor men sing:
"Bring me to kingdom come"

This is something for your people on the block to/black out and rock to,
Give you whatcha need like Poppa/"Who shot ya?"
Separate the weak from the obselete/You're meek/I creep hard on imposters
And switch styles on the dime/Quick-witted ya'll/Quit tripping
I don't have time for your crying
I grind tough/Sucka, make your mind up,
Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?
Bang bang/Little monkey-man playing
With the big guns only get you slain/And I ain't playing
I'm just saying/You ain't gotta sliver of a chance
I get iller, I deliver/While you quiver in your pants,
So shake, shake-down/Money, here's the break down
You can play the bank/I'ma play the bank take down
And no mistakes now/I'm coming to getcha
I'm just a Banksy/You're a Brainwash/Get the picture?
It's like that..

We swim against the rising waves and crash against the shore
The body bends until it breaks, the early morning sings no more...
So rest your head, it's time to sleep, and dream of what's in store
The body bends until it breaks, then sings again no more...
'Cause time has torn the flesh away, the early morning sings no more...

POWERLESS

You hid your skeletons, when I had shown you mine
You woke the devil that, I thought you'd left behind
I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose

And you held it all, but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all, and I was by your side, powerless...

I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end
I'm left with emptiness that words cannot defend
You'll never know what I, became because of you
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose

And you held it all, but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all, and I was by your side, powerless...

Ohhhh.

And you held it all, but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all, and I was by your side, powerless...

Ohhhh.

Powerless...
Powerless...
