Homecoming (Minutes to Midnight Demo) Instrumental Points of Authority (Demo) Forfeit the game Before somebody else takes you out of the frame And puts your name to shame Cover up your face You can't run the race The pace is too fast You just won't last You love the way I look at you While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through You take away If I give in My life, my pride is broken Forfeit the game Before somebody else takes you out of the frame And puts your name to shame Cover up your face You can't run the race The pace is too fast You just won't last Forfeit the game Before somebody else takes you out of the frame And puts your name to shame Cover up your face You can't run the race The pace is too fast You just won't last I won't believe A word you say I'm cut to pieces by the sound of every breath you take Swimming through a sea of hurt My life, my pride is stronger Forfeit the game Before somebody else takes you out of the frame And puts your name to shame Cover up your face You can't run the race The pace is too fast You just won't last It's time to sink or swim It's time to sink or swim It's time to sink or swim To see who gets scared when the lights go dim It's time to sink or swim (No) It's time to sink or swim (No) It's time to sink or swim (No) To see who gets scared when the lights go dim (No) Forfeit the game Before somebody else takes you out of the frame And puts your name to shame Cover up your face You can't run the race The pace is too fast You just won't last Forfeit the game Before somebody else takes you out of the frame And puts your name to shame Cover up your face You can't run the race The pace is too fast You just won't last Clarity (Minutes to Midnight Demo) Instrumental Asbestos (Minutes to Midnight Demo) Don’t start with the ugly part, don’t end with the things that will make them want to walk away Tune in at the din again, another price ain't cheap but somebody’s gonna have to pay Oh yes, you can only guess, what it is, what it was, don't remember what I had in mind Shotgunning on a joy ride, coming down the block, half-cocked nearly half the time Give it back, give it back, give it back, g-g-give it back, sing it One time for the words divine, and two times for the things that you hope you never have to say Three scenes in a dead man’s dream, and the girls tell the boys that they better fucking run away Live it up, or g-g-give it up, turn it up, tune it out, let it rhyme with the other line Shotgunning on a joy ride, coming down the block, half-cocked nearly all the time Give it back, give it back, give it back, g-g-give it back, sing it Bunker (Minutes to Midnight Demo) Instrumental So Far Away (Unreleased 1998) Save me now from this mess that I've created All The souls have gone and I'm stranded here with doubt and fear alone Tell me how I'm at fault for all this madness I don't know what's wrong, but I cannot help but try to push it So Far Away In so deep and inside of me So Hard to say I don't want to say it anyway Save me now I'm the mess I have created And my soul has gone and for some reason all I do is push it So Far Away In so deep and inside of me So Hard to say I don't want to say it anyway So far away It's so far away In so deep and inside of me So Hard to say I don't want to say it anyway So Far Away In so deep and inside of me So Hard to say I don't want to say it anyway Pepper (Meteora Demo) Instrumental Debris (Minutes to Midnight Demo) Listen, my blood feels like it’s sitting still in my veins My motivation is gone before it even came Today and yesterday it both seem the same And no matter how I try I just can’t change Give me one reason I should go outside Everything will be the same no matter how what I try Some people will live and some people will die Some people will build their whole life on a lie I used to blame you for the things that I thought you would say So now I can’t blame you for going away Cause these memories are the blood beating under my skin Repeating the same thoughts again and again Again and again Said we couldn’t last long enough for be strong enough Again and again Said our voices weren’t loud enough and we’ve had enough because We want our future back We want our own mistakes To take our own path We want to do it again Again and again Said we couldn’t last long enough or be strong enough Again and again Said our voices weren’t loud enough and we’ve had enough because We want our future back We want our own mistakes To take our own path We want to do it again Again and again Said we couldn’t last long enough or be strong enough Again and again Said our voices weren’t loud enough and we’ve had enough because We want our future back We want our own mistakes To take our own path We want to do it again Ominous (Meteora Demo) Instrumental Forgotten (Demo) From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core I've forgotten In the middle of my thoughts Taken far from my safety Storm bright in the sky The sun will escape me So why did I try From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core I've forgotten In the middle of my thoughts Taken far from my safety Storm bright in the sky The sun will escape me So why did I try From the thread to the needle, middle to end When skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defend The rain then sends dripping acidic questions Forcefully, the power of suggestion Then with the eyes tightly shut, looking thought the rust and rotten dust A spot of light floods the floor And pours itself upon a world of pretend The eyes ease open and its dark again From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core I've forgotten In the middle of my thoughts Taken far from my safety Storm bright in the sky The sun will escape me So why did I try In a minute you'll find me Eyes burn me up You say you'll never forget me But the lies have piled up Moving all around Screaming of the ups and downs Pollution manifested in perpetual sound And as the wheels go round the sunset creeps past the street lamps, cars, chain links, and concrete A window then grows and captures the eye Prys out yellow light as it passes it by A small black figure sits in front of a box Inside a box a rock with the needles on top Nothing stops in this land of the pain The sane lose not knowing they were part of the game And the inside changes and the box stays the same In shame,you shovel up the pieces to the pain You could try to hide yourself in this world of pretend When the paper's crumbled up it can't be perfect again From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core I've forgotten In the middle of my thoughts Taken far from my safety Storm bright in the sky The sun will escape me So why did I try In a minute you'll find me Eyes burn me up You say you'll never forget me But the lies have piled up Now I got you caught in the act You better step back I'm telling you that I see it right through you Now I got you caught in the act You better step back I'm telling you that I see it right through you Now I got you caught in the act You better step back I'm telling you that I see it right through you Now I got you caught in the act You better step back I'm telling you that I see it right through you (Are you afraid of the truth?) Now I got you caught in the act You better step back I'm telling you that I see it right through you (Are you afraid of the truth?) Now I got you caught in the act You better step back I'm telling you that I see it right through you (Are you afraid of the truth?) Now I got you caught in the act You better step back I'm telling you that I see it right through you (Are you afraid of the truth?) Now I got you caught in the act You better step back I'm telling you that I see it right through you In a minute you'll find me Eyes burn me up You say you'll never forget me But the lies have piled up (In a minute you'll find me Eyes burn me up You say you'll never forget me But the lies have piled up) Contributors: Jack_Farrell Suffered Jeff Benjamin Hybrid Astat Jason M.

I heard it too. Good catch! I fixed these lines in "So Far Away" All The souls have gone and I'm stranded here with doubt and fear alone I don't know what's wrong, but I cannot help but try to push it I don't want to say it anyway
Haven't listened to LPU12 yet, but knowing the POA and Forgotten demos are very similar to ones we already have, I can make some corrections from memory... POA second verse: "So mean to love Or see of her" Should be "Swimming through a sea of hurt" Forgotten second verse: "Prys out yellow light as it passes it by" Should be "Cries out yellow light as it passes it by" Forgotten bridge: "Now I got you got in the act" Should be "Now I got you caught in the act"
I've used your post as inspiration. Also, the first correction you had, I still here "but" and not "I." Anyone else to weigh in on this. Astat, I haven'y gotten to your corrections yet, but I will look into it later. It's supper time.
In the POA demo, I think it's not ''To see who gets scared when the lights go dim'' but ''To see who gets scared when the lights go down'' In Asbestos, he says ''Give it back'' 4 times, not 3. Also, I think ''Leave it up, (??) give it up, turn it up, put it out, let it ride with the other lie'' is ''Leave it up, fucking give it up, turn it up, put it out, let it ride with the other lie'' - Not too sure on that, though... In Debris, ''My motivation is gone before you even came'' I think he says ''My motivation is gone before it even came'' I'll post more if I see it.
In Asbestos, is he saying : Leave it up, fuck it give it up, turn it up, put it out, let it ride with the other lie ?
in Debris, is it not "tune in to the din again"? I might be 2nd guessing the CA accent, but that's what I hear
Correction on the bolded line. Live it up, [book it], give it up, turn it up, tune it out, let it ride with the other lie. If you right click the play/pause button in Windows Media Player and select slow playback then you can see where I've got the idea for the [book it] from along with the other corrections. Also, after my assumed [book it], he stutters with the g.
There's no sign of a "f" sound in the missing word(s). There are definitely some sort of "hit" sound like a b. I could be wrong though.
Corrected lyrics for Abestos. I'm absolutely positive on all of this except for the "tune in at the din again" line, but I can't think of anything else that it would be: Don’t start with the ugly part, don’t end with the things that will make them want to walk away Tune in at the din again, another price ain't cheap but somebody’s gonna have to pay Oh yes, you can only guess, what it is, what it was, or remember what I had in mind Shotgunning on a joy ride, coming down the block, half-cocked nearly half the time Give it back, give it back, give it back, g-g-give it back, sing it One time for the words divine, and two times for the things that you hope you never have to say Three scenes in a dead man’s dream, and the girls tell the boys that they better fucking run away Live it up, or g-g-give it up, turn it up, tune it out, let it rhyme with the other line Shotgunning on a joy ride, coming down the block, half-cocked nearly all the time Give it back, give it back, give it back, g-g-give it back, sing it
Here's So Far Away, really only one lyrical correction in the first verse, I just transcribed the lines slightly differently: Save me now from this mess that I've created All the souls have gone And I'm stranded here with doubt and fear, alone Tell me how I'm at fault for all this madness I don't know what's wrong But I cannot help but try to push it So far away (In so deep and inside of me) So hard to say (I don't want to say it anyway) Save me now, I'm the mess that I've created And my soul has gone And for some reason all I do is push it So far away (In so deep and inside of me) So hard to say (I don't want to say it anyway) So far away It's so far away (In so deep and inside of me) So hard to say (I don't want to say it anyway) So far away (In so deep and inside of me) So hard to say (I don't want to say it anyway)
Some corrections to Debris as well (didn't bother to do the chorus repeats on this one since it's just a verse and chorus): Listen, my blood feels like it’s sitting still in my veins My motivation was gone before it even came Today and yesterday, they both seem the same And no matter how I try I just can’t change Give me one reason I should go outside Everything will be the same no matter what I try Some people will live, and some people will die And some people will build their whole life on a lie I used to blame you for the things that I thought you'd say So now I can’t blame you for going away Cause these memories are the blood beating under my skin Repeating the same thoughts again and again Again and again You said we couldn’t last long enough or be strong enough Again and again You said our voices weren’t loud enough, but we’ve had enough because We want our future back We want our own mistakes To take our own path We want to do it again
Listening to it now, and came here to check the lyrics as well I wonder what are the Asbestos lyrics about?
To me "tune in and begin again" makes sense, but I'm not hearing the 'g' sound in begin. "Tune in at the din again" makes no sense to me, but it sure sounds that way. Who knows?
