Wake in a sweat again / another day's been laid
To waste / in my disgrace
Stuck in my head again / feels like I'll never
Leave this place / there's no escape

I'm my own worst enemy

I've given up / I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away / I'm suffocating
Tell me, what the fuck is wrong / with me?

I don't know what to take / thought I was focused
But I'm scared / I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate / looking for help, somehow
Somewhere / and no-one cares

I'm my own worst enemy

I've given up / I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away / I'm suffocating
Tell me, what the fuck is wrong / with me?

Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my / put me out of my
Fucking misery

I've given up / I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away / I'm suffocating
Tell me, what the fuck is wrong / with me?

I dreamed I was missing / you were so scared
But no-one would listen / 'cause no-one else cared
After my dreaming / I woke with this fear
What am I leaving / when I'm done here?

So, if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes / forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some / reasons to be missed
And don't resent me / and, when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory / leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating / I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface / not all the way through
I've never been perfect / but neither have you

So, if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes / forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some / reasons to be missed
Don't resent me / and, when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory / leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting / all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending / someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

When my time comes / forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some / reasons to be missed
Don't resent me / and, when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory / leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting / all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending / someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

And here we go for the hundredth time
Hand-grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let somethin' shine
Goin' out of my fuckin' mind
Filthy mouth / no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose
String me up from atop these roofs
Knot it tight so I won't get loose
Truth is, you can stop and stare
Bled myself out and no one cares
Dug the trench out / laid down there
With a shovel up out of reach somewhere
Yeah / someone, pour it in
Make it a dirty dancefloor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in

I bleed it out / digging deeper
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out / digging deeper
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out / digging deeper
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out / go / stop the show
Choppy words and a sloppy flow
Shotgun opera / lock and load
Cock it back and, then, watch it go
Mama, help me / I've been cursed
Death is rollin' in every verse
Candy paint on his brand-new hearse
Can't contain him / he knows he works
Fuck, this hurts / I won't lie
Doesn't matter how hard I try
Half the words don't mean a thing
And I know that I won't be satisfied
So why try ignoring him?
Make it a dirt dancefloor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in

I bleed it out / digging deeper
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out / digging deeper
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out / digging deeper
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out
I've opened up these scars
I'll make you face this
I've pulled myself so far
I'll make you face / this / now

I bleed it out / digging deeper
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out / digging deeper
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out / digging deeper
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out / digging deeper
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out / digging deeper
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out / digging deeper
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out
I bleed it out
I bleed it out

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes, solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes, goodbye's the only way / oh

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day / will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes, beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes, goodbye's the only way / oh

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day / will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day / will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day / will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

In this farewell / there's no blood
There's no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret / from the truth
Of a thousand lies

So let mercy come / and wash away

What I've done
I'll face myself / to cross out what I've become
Erase myself / and let go of what I've done

Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate / with the hands
Of uncertainty

So let mercy come / and wash away

What I've done
I'll face myself / to cross out what I've become
Erase myself / and let go of what I've done

For what I've done
I'll start again / and, whatever pain may come
Today, this ends / I'm forgiving what I've done

I'll face myself / to cross out what I've become
Erase myself / and let go of what I've done

What I've done

Forgiving what I've done

Turn my mic up louder / I got to say somethin'
Lightweights steppin' aside when we come in
Feel it in your chest / the syllables get pumpin'
People on the street / they panic and start runnin'
Words on loose leaf sheet / complete comin'
I jump in my mind / I summon the rhyme I'm dumpin'
Healin' the blind / I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum
And / jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumpin'
Fuck that / I wanna see some fists pumpin'
Risk somethin' / take back what's yours
Say somethin' that you know they might attack you for
'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
Like it's stupid standin' for what I'm standin' for
Like this war's really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
Like they understand you in the back of the jet
When you can't put gas in your tank / these fuckers
Are laughin' their way to the bank and cashin' their cheque
Askin' you to have compassion and have some respect
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stutterin' and mumblin' for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world / watchin' at the end of the day
In their livin' room, laughing, like, what did he say?

(Amen)
(Amen)
(Amen)
(Amen)

In my livin' room, watchin', but I am not laughin'
'Cause, when it gets tense, I know what might happen
The world is cold / the bold men take action
Have to react or get blown into fractions
Ten years old / it's somethin' to see
Another kid my age drugged under a jeep
Taken and bound / and found later under a tree
I wonder if he thought the next one could be
Do you see? / The soldiers, they're out today
They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
It's ironic / at times like this you pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
There's bombs on the buses / bikes / roads
Inside your market / your shops / your clothes
My dad / he's got a lot of fear, I know
But enough pride inside not to let that show
My brother had a book he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine
On the back / he handwrote a quote inside
When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die
Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stutterin' and mumblin' for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world / watchin' at the end of the day
Both scared and angry, like, what did he say?

(Amen)
(Amen)
(Amen)
(Amen)

With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you
With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you

With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you
With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you

With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you
With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you

Are you lost / in your lies?
Do you tell yourself I don't realise
Your crusade's a disguise?
Replaced freedom with fear / you trade money for lives

I'm aware of what you've done

No / no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your / time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced

I see pain / I see need
I see liars and thieves abuse power with greed
I had hope / I believed
But I'm beginning to think that I've been deceived

You will pay for what you've done

No / no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your / time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced

Thieves and hypocrites
Thieves and hypocrites
Thieves and hypocrites

No / no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your / time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced

No more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your / time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced

Your time has come to be replaced

Your time has come to be erased

My insides all turned to ash / so slow
And blew away as I collapsed / so cold
A black wind took them away / from sight
And held the darkness over day / that night

And the clouds above moved closer / looking so dissatisfied
And the heartless wind kept blowing / blowing

I used to be my own protection / but not now
'Cause my path has lost direction / somehow
A black wind took you away / from sight
And held the darkness over day / that night

And the clouds above moved closer / looking so dissatisfied
And the ground below grew colder / as they put you down inside
And the heartless wind kept blowing / blowing

So, now, you're gone / and I was wrong
I never knew what it was like
To be alone

On a Valentine's day / on a Valentine's day
On a Valentine's day / on a Valentine's day
On a Valentine's day

(I used to be my own protection / but not now)
('Cause my mind has lost direction / somehow)
(I used to be my own protection / but not now)
('Cause my mind has lost direction / somehow)

Let me apologise to begin with
Let me apologise for what I'm about to say
But trying to be genuine was harder than it seemed
And, somehow, I got caught up in-between

Let me apologise to begin with
Let me apologise for what I'm about to say
But trying to be someone else was harder than it seemed
And, somehow, I got caught up in-between

Between my pride / and my promise
Between the lies / and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none

Let me apologise to begin with
Let me apologise for what I'm about to say
But trying to regain your trust was harder than it seemed
And, somehow, I got caught up in-between

Between my pride / and my promise
Between the lies / and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none

And I cannot explain to you / in anything I say or do
Or plan / fear is not afraid of you
But guilt's a language you can understand

I cannot explain to you / in anything I say or do
But hope the actions speak the words they can

For my pride / and my promise
For my lies / and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is

Pride / and my promise
Between the lies / and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none

Telling me to go
But hands beg me to stay
Your lips say that you love
Your eyes say that you hate

There's truth in your lies / doubt in your faith
What you build, you lay to waste
There's truth in your lies / doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take

So I / I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this / in pieces
And you / you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets / and regrets
Don't lie

You promise me the sky
Then, toss me like a stone
You wrap me in your arms
And chill me to the bone

There's truth in your lies / doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take

So I / I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this / in pieces
And you / you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets / and regrets
Don't lie

So I / I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this / in pieces
And you / you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets / and regrets
Don't lie

Water grey
Through the window / up the stairs
Chilling rain
Like an ocean / everywhere

Don't want to reach for me, do you? / I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
And, now, there will be no mistakin' / the levees are breakin'

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet underwater
I do

Hope decays
Generations disappear
Washed away
As a nation / simply stares

Don't want to reach for me, do you? / I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
But, now, there will be no mistakin' / the levees are breakin'

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet underwater
I do

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet underground, now
I do

The little things give you away
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
The little things give you away

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
