1. TOOK OUT A LOAN

I took out a loan on my empty heart, babe
I took out a loan for my patient soul
And I feel alive as long as I don't need you
And I feel alive as long as I keep hold

I took out a loan on my empty heart, babe
I took out a loan for my patient soul
And I feel alive as long as I don't need you
And I feel alive as long as I keep hold
Of what I think I thought I heard you loved me
I think you thought you heard I loved

Have I been mistaken
Have I been mistaken
I feel confused about the way it's done

I won't be denied
I'm coming in this time, babe
I've fallen in love with your creatures soul
And I've been a witness to your sickest obsession
And I feel alive as long as I keep hold
Of what I think I thought I heard you loved me
I think you thought you heard I loved

Have I been mistaken have I been mistaken
I feel confused about the way it's done

3. WEAPON OF CHOICE

I've got a streak, and you want to loosen up
But there's no time to feast your eyes
You want it all, but the world wont give it up
Up to the edge, a star will rise

What is your weapon of choice
Whats your weapon of choice
Where is the weapon to free us all us?
What is your weapon of choice
Whats your weapon of choice
Where is the weapon to free us all?

I wont waste it, i wont waste it, i wont waste my love on a nation
I wont waste it, i wont waste it, i wont waste my love on a nation

Everyones got their own spent factions
Every bomb will pay its price
I‘ve been digging in the wrong directions
Lets see you threaten the afterlife

What is your weapon of choice
Whats your weapon of choice
There is the weapon to free us all us
What is your weapon of choice
Whats your weapon of choice
There is a weapon to free us all

I wont waste it, i wont waste it, i wont waste my love on a nation
I wont waste it, i wont waste it, i wont waste my love on a nation

It‘s too hard to stand aside
Here‘s the love to stop your heart

I wont waste it, i wont waste it, i wont waste my love on a nation
I wont waste it, i wont waste it, i wont waste my love on a nation
I wont waste it, i wont waste it, i wont waste my love on a nation
I wont waste it, i wont waste it, i wont waste my love on a nation


4. WINDOWS

Turn your eyes from the window so you won't see this world
The walls are closing inward, there's nowhere left to turn

You want it, you need it, the words slip away
Your crying your eyes out, your mind wants to break
Your heart is your weakness, your song plays endlessly
Wonder how you sleep

All your houses crumble
Shadows begin to howl
Spiders on the rooftops
The trapdoor's in ourselves

You want it, you need it, the words slip away
Your crying your eyes out, your mind wants to break
Your heart is your weakness, your song plays endlessly
Wonder how you sleep, it's a wonder to me

So how's it going to feel
When you don't know what's real
You tell yourself it's love, then tear your insides up
So how's it going to feel
When you don't know what's real
You tell yourself it's love, then tear yourself apart

Senses all been fractured
The traitor's in your sights
The hours spinning backwards
There's nowhere left to hide

You want it, you need it, the words slip away
Your crying your eyes out, your mind wants to break
Your heart is your weakness, your song plays endlessly
Wonder how you sleep, it's a wonder to me

So how's it going to feel
When you don't know what's real
You tell yourself it's love, then tear your insides up
So how's it going to feel
When you don't know what's real
You tell yourself it's love, then tear yourself apart

How many people must learn
How many roads must you turn
There's something hiding below

How many tears must you cry
How many buried inside
Until you finally let go

How many years must you fight
How many stories survive
Until the tables will turn

How many days must you brave
How many years must you pay
There's nothing left to let go


5. COLD WIND

Can't change all the things I've done I know
I'm chasing the reason and my soul
I feel it gone
I feel it gone

I've been waiting for the right time just to begin
I'm feeling like the cold, cold wind
Waiting for the right time just to begin
I'm feeling like the cold, cold wind
I'm feeling like the cold, cold wind

I've been here a thousand times I know
I thought that the point was to take it slow
Now I know what you said was true
I feel it gone
I feel it gone

I've been waiting for the right time just to begin
I'm feeling like the cold, cold wind
Waiting for the right time just to begin
I'm feeling like the cold, cold wind
I'm feeling like the cold, cold wind
And I feel it all

There's nothing left of this
They steal your innocence
There's nothing left of this
What use is innocence
There's nothing left of this

I'm drowning in my own disease
Now I know it now I see
I feel it all
I feel it all

I've been waiting for the right time just to begin
I'm feeling like the cold, cold wind
Waiting for the right time just to begin
I'm feeling like the cold, cold wind
I'm feeling like the cold, cold wind
And I feel it all

There's nothing left of this
They steal your innocence
There's nothing left of this
What use is innocence
And I feel it all

Yeah I'm awake and I know it 'cause I hit the ground
Yeah you're awake and you know it cause you hit the ground
Yeah we're awake and we know it cause we hit the ground
Yeah we're awake and we know it cause we hit the ground
Yeah we're awake and we know it cause we hit the grand


6. NOT WHAT YOU WANTED

You know you've got a lot to learn
You feel it but your heart won't burn
The fear is runnin' every nerve
Your turning to the ones you've hurt
Nothing ever satisfies
You're screamin' but your tongue's still tied
Starvin' but your love won't feed
Nothin' ever sets you free

You know you've got a long way down
You'll feel it when you hit the ground

It's not what you wanted
It's not what you came here for
This place just leaves you cold
Where nothing matters

Pinned inside the walls of sound
Reachin' but your hands are bound
Cryin' but your love's so sweet
Your singin’ but your heart still weeps

And no one ever seems to care
Feels like she walks on air

It's not what you wanted
It's not what you came here for
This place just leaves you cold
Where nothing matters

I can't wait for time to save us
And I can't break your fall forever
'Cause you always take
You always take too much
You always take
You always take too much

It's not what you wanted
It's not what you came here for
This place just leaves you cold
Where nothing matters
It's not what you wanted

It's not what you came here for
This place just leaves you cold, where nothing matters


7. 666 CONDUCER

No one knows her name but they see her youth and use her
She's feeling free and everything she sees is truth
She's seventeen she's got everything she needs to lose
Yeah yeah yeah oh no

She's got everyone to help her on her way
She's got everyone to help her on her way
She's got everyone to help her on her way, down

He seems to know right where it hurts your pain, in vain
He gives himself to you he's in your way
And everything he does just seems a phase, insane
Yeah yeah yeah oh no

He's got everyone to help him on his way
He's got everyone to help him on his way
He's got everyone to help him on his way, down

Everything you touch tears at your heart, apart
Of everything you see down in your soul never let you go

You've got everyone to help you on your way
You've got everyone to help you on your way
You've got everyone to help you on your way, down

You're a 666 conducer
How do you do the things you do sir
You're a 666 conducer
How do you do the things you do sir
You're a 666 conducer
How do you do
How do you do


8. ALL YOU DO IS TALK

Help yourself don’t say a thing
Your love won't show in anything at all
If all you do is talk

Sadly I remain in need
Of all the things you say
But leave in speak
All you do is talk

Help yourself don't think
Help yourself don't speak
Help yourself don't say a thing at all
Your lucky words don’t bleed

You time the end of all we see
You say we're on our way
And all will be
Alone in everything

You say it's all we'll ever need
You've found an easy way
But still you weep
Alone in everything

Help yourself don’t think
Help yourself don’t speak
Help yourself don’t say a thing at all
Your lucky words don’t bleed

Help yourself don't say a thing
What love you show won't mean a thing at all
If all you do is talk

Sadly we remain to see
What brings an end is also what we need
All you do is talk

Help yourself don’t think
Help yourself don’t speak
Help yourself don’t say a thing at all
Your lucky words don’t bleed


9. LIEN ON YOUR DREAMS

There's a lien on your dreams
That keeps you going under
And a hole in the floor
That drops us all together
You can fight all you like
There's no way to hide
All the lines on your face
Show you've got no place in here

As long as the setting sun will shine
As long as the setting sun will shine
As long as you fight!

But it's the same every day
It drives the world insane
And the lies of mankind
Burn you up inside
But it hurts and what's worse
There's no way to reverse
When your mind wants to start
Pulling you apart, baby

'Cause I needed more, and I need it more
Will you satisfy
I needed more, I needed more
But this is more than I ever wanted

It's a joke and we hope
Your pleading from a rope
There's a sound comin' down
That burns you to the ground
But they feast while you sleep
It marks you like a beast
But they lie through their eyes
How long can you take it, girl

'Cause I needed more, and I need it more
Will you satisfy
I needed more, and I needed more
But this is more than I ever wanted to believe in

It's a shame how we play
But love is not a game
And it works when it hurts
But nothin' kills the pain
It's a gas while it lasts
It's knocks you on your ass
Without passion, you're a fashion
How long can you fake it, girl

'Cause I needed more, and I need it more
Will you satisfy
I needed more, and I needed more
But this is more than I ever wanted to believe in

You're all I came here for
You are my lonely soul
You're all I came here for
You are my lonely soul


10. NEED SOME AIR

You wanna pick somethin' up, you gotta lay it down
You wanna turn somethin' on, you gotta set it off
You wanna let something in, you gotta tear it out
I wanna feel the sun, I just need some air

The only word that you know is please, please, please
The only life that you see is from your knees
I wanna feel the light, I just can't receive
Don't wanna leave the ground, I just need some air
I need some air

It's just a love that you can't get back
It's just a tale of a heart attack
You feel alive, but you're sinking fast
Just close your eyes, this won't be your last

You wanna lift somethin' up, you gotta pin it down
You wanna pull somethin' in, you gotta let it out
You wanna light something up, you gotta burn it down
I wanna feel the sun, I just need some air

The only word that you know is please, please, please
The only life that you see is from your knees
I wanna feel the light, I just can't receive
Don't wanna leave the ground, I just need some air
I need some air

It's just a love that you can't get back
It's just a tale of a heart attack
You feel alive, but you're sinking fast
Just close your eyes, this won't be your last

You wanna pick something up, you gotta lay it down
You wanna turn something on, you gotta set it off
You wanna light something up, you gotta burn it down
I wanna feel the sun, I just need some air
I need some air
I need some air
I need some air

It's just a love that you can't get back
It's just a tale of a heart attack
You feel alive, but you're sinking fast

Just close your eyes, this won't be your last

It's not the prayer you repeat at night
It's not the saint that has seen the light
It's just the breath that you hold inside
Just keep your, cool it will be alright


11. KILLING THE LIGHT

She said you're killing the light
You'll never see it again
We come to suffer I said
I won't be fooled by the light
I won't be fooled by the lie

The easy road lies in wait
Takes it's toll and all it desires
Leads you blind
Leaves you there
Takes your heart and leaves you in silence

Ooh
Look what you've started
Ooh
Look what you've started
Ooh
Look what you've started
Ooh
We're all broken hearted

She said don't leave us behind
We'll never be here again
Our lives are closer this way
I won't be fooled by the light
I won't be fooled by the lie

The easy road lies in wait
Takes it's toll and leaves you in silence
Leads you blind
Leaves you there
Takes your heart and all that you wasted

Ooh
Look what you've started
Ooh
Look what you've started
Ooh
Look what you've started
Ooh
We're all broken hearted


12. AMERICAN X

Close your eyes to the world that you see
And open wide to the one in your dreams
There's nothing left that you wanna believe
Foreign eyes have been torn at the seams
You'd save yourself from a world without sin
You're born again with a means to an end
Drawing lines in the palm of your hand
Your holding on to all that you've planned

There's nothing here that is left to be saved
Take a bow to the warrior state
You throw yourself to the perilous static
You shut your eyes but the death is romantic
You've sold your soul but it's only a fake
You'd kill yourself for a piece of the take
You lose your mind in a world that leaves nothin'
You're holding on for asylum, reaching for air

It's all you want, you know you'll never forget
Your open arms, they only seem to surrender
It's all you know, you know you'll never regret
Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters

No one needs what they think to survive
Pulled inside with an appetite blind
You feast your eyes on American sex
You sleep in shores of American bliss
Growing wings from the sorrowless excess
Your frozen eyes cut the chord to their last depth
You share your young with the wolves of a nation
There's nothing left 'til you pray for salvation

It's all you want, you know you'll never forget
Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters
It's all you know, you know you'll never regret
Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters

I'm the last of the messiahs
All your lost star signs


13. AM I ONLY

Nothing seems to show
The feelings come and go
And everything's so strange
The people never change

Am I only, only one of you
Am I only, only one of you

Emotions never known
They talk though what you show
So easy you let go
What's left is torn and thrown

Am I only, only one of you
Am I only, only one of you

You turn into a song
And everything feels wrong
There's so much more to see
But lost is meant to be

Am I only, only one of you
Am I the lonely, only one of you

Am I the only lonely one of you
Am I the only lonely one of you
Am I the only lonely one of you
Am I the only lonely one of you
