Cartel Cycles Lyrics
1.Let's Go

Let me reintroduce myself
As a man with a cause
I've had a lot of time to think
And look at who we are

And I've got nothing left to say
But we?ve got to carry on
And I've got so much left to do
But I'll start with this song

Why do they lie
Why can't you see
Get up everybody
Stand up with me (whoa)

Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (tell them we're coming)
Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (stand up with me)
Lets go
Take the world with me

You've got something on your mind
But you get in your way
Don't tell us tomorrow
You better bring change today

And all we have is who we are
And all we know is pretending
You've got to bank on something real
Say, a life worth spending

Why do they lie
Why can't you see
Get up everybody
Stand up with me

Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (tell them we're coming)
Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (stand up with me)
Lets go
Take the world with me

So if you've got a torch to carry
Hold it high
Come take the world with me
Let it burn let it burn let it light up the sky

Stand up (get up lets go)
Stand up (you've got to let them know)
Stand up (you've got to make them see)
Get up people
Stand up with me

Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (tell them we?re coming)
Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (So I'll sing)
Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (tell them we're coming)
Lets go (everybody)
Come everybody stand up with me
Lets go
Lets go (Take the world with me)
Lets go Lets go


2.The Perfect Mistake

Wake me up, I've been dreaming
Feels just like any other day
I'd sit you down, here goes nothing
But you're not gonna like what I say

Get out, get out
'Get out, get out,' that's what she said
'You drive me crazy
I can't believe that's what you did
Don't call me baby'
And I know, I know
I knew all along that you'd find out
The perfect mistake I'm hoping you'll make right now

Wake me up, I've been dreaming
Cause I haven't heard from you in days
Amazing how this fire just follows me around
And it's only you that burns it away

Get out, get out
'Get out, get out,' that's what she said
'You drive me crazy
I can't believe that's what you did
Don't call me baby'
And I know, I know
I knew all along that you'd find out
The perfect mistake I'm hoping you'll make right now

I see your face every time I close my eyes
It's getting worse, you say it comes as no surprise

Why am I hell-bent on losing
When I can't get you out of my head

'Get out, get out,' that's what she said
'You drive me crazy
I can't believe that's what you did
Don't call me baby'
And I know, I know
I knew all along that you'd find out
The perfect mistake I'm hoping you'll make right now
Oh, the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'll make right now
Oh, make right now


3.Faster Ride

A green light, unkind
No where to go on a one track mind
It's a break down at the wrong time
I'm catching up but I'm still behind

We did it right, we did it right for some time
But I looked up and you were gone
We did it right, we did it right for some time
I couldn't give you what you want

Cause you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
Get it, get it, go until you get it right
And I hope you find it
Cause you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
But you just got to kiss me one more time
So just kiss me goodbye

A red light, wrong way
I'm just a game that you like to play
It's a hot start to your cold ways
You got bored then you walked away

You did it right, you did it right for some time
But I looked up and you were gone
You did it right, you did it right for some time
I couldn't give you what you want

Cause you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
Get it, get it, go until you get it right
And I hope you find it
Cause you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
But you just got to kiss me one more time
So just kiss me goodbye

So now you're moving on (you're moving on)
With no regrets (with no regrets)
But I'm still hanging on (still hanging on)
To every word you said (to every word you said)

But you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
Get it, get it, go until you get it right
But you'll never find it, no

Cause you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
Get it, get it, go until you get it right
And I hope you find it
Cause you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
But you just got to kiss me one more time
Just kiss me goodbye

So just kiss me goodbye


4.Deep South

I was born in the south
Given to a town raised on handsome mouth
Born on the same day as the sun
Holding in the Earth, seen one by one

A dot in the cold, waiting to rot
Frozen like stone, all is for not
All that I am is churning inside
All that I am is screaming...

Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Oh yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south

I feel it in my skin
Coming undone again and again
Torn at the seam my heart is sewn
Holding back the tears shed on my own

If dying is bold, then courage I've got
I could grow old, but I forgot
All that I am is churning inside
The voice in my head is screaming...

Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Oh yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south

I was born in the south
Given to a town raised on handsome mouth
Born on the same day as the sun
Counting every heart beat one by one

Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Oh yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south

Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south


5.Only You

i hear you calling out my name
all of the elements will fade
never before has love looked safe
never again will it look the same

but then we fall back now to this empty house
there the wars will rage
and if you leave me now in this empty house
baby its okay

oh and its only you yeah its only you
its only you and me
oh and its only you yeah its only you
its only you and me yeah

and i feel you crawling out my veins
leaving the walls inside with flames
burning the emptiness i've saved
until lonely you remain

but then my lungs collapse and you pull me out
forever i've been changed
honey you can take me now til it all runs out
baby it's okay

oh but theres only you yeah its only you
its only you i see
girl if its only you yeah its only you
its only you and me yeah

can you feel it now
ive weighed it all out
here and now my world turns inside out
and i swear i
i hear you calling
i hear you calling out my name

only you yeah its only you its only you i see
girl if its only you yeah its only you
its only you and me yeah
its only you yeah its only you
its only you and me


6.It Still Remains

It still remains
And I can't pretend it's gone
Count on me, to remember who you are
And it still remains
What if you were wrong?
I shouldn't let, I shouldn't let you get too far

What do I, I have to lose?
What do I, I have to do?

Is there any other way
To stop thinking 'bout
Any another day?
We've got to figure out
I don't want to lose you
After all we've been through
Is there nothing I can say
To turn you around?
Maybe that's the way
To stop thinking 'bout all those yesterdays
That still remain?

It's killing me
Wondering where you are
You don't call
But your voice won't go away
And it still remains
I'm broken but I'm bent
On finding you, and hoping that you'll stay

What do I, I have to lose?
What do I, I have to do?

Is there any other way
To stop thinking 'bout
Any another day?
We've got to figure out
I don't want to lose you
After all we've been through
Is there nothing I can say
To turn you around?
Maybe that's the way
To stop thinking 'bout all those yesterdays
That still remain?

Okay it doesn't matter
Cause I'm still yours
Give it time to find a pattern
We will find a cure in this design

Is there any other way
To stop thinking 'bout
Any another day?
We've got to figure out
I don't want to lose you now...

Is there any other way
To stop thinking 'bout
Any another day?
We've got to figure out
I don't want to lose you
After all we've been through
Is there nothing I can say
To turn you around?
Maybe that's the way
To stop thinking 'bout all those yesterdays
That still remain?
That still remain


7.27 Steps

And I can't unwind with you hanging 'round
And I feel just like a vine
Oh if you have to leave me here
Then I invite it
Cause I've been twisted in your words
I'm better off left alone

Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps to you're front door
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
I can't stand your face anymore
Should've figured out then what you lose
But it's too late to fix what's broken
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps and I can't...

...believe I was so nieve
And my heart is racing
I can barely breathe
Oh if you have to take it here
Then I've decided
That I've been stepping in your words
I should've seen it all along

Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps to you're front door
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
I can't stand your face anymore
Should've figured out then what you lose
But it's too late to fix what's broken
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps and I'm gone

Are you with me?
Are you with me?
27 steps to you're front door
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
I can't stand your face anymore
Should've figured out then what you lose
But it's too late to fix what's broken
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps...
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
27 steps to you're front door
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
27 steps and I'm gone


8.See Me Now

And it's the same foregone conclusion
All the things hurt when I was young
It's the sample of delusion
Spit from everybody's tongue

And I don't know how to be another
Don't know how to be the one
Oh I have only just discovered
who I am and where I'm coming from

If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out

And we can talk about solutions
Till we're red (or blue) in the face
And we can stare at our illusions
And just smile till the mirror breaks

And I don't know how to be another
Don't know how to be the one
Oh I have only just discovered
who I am and where I'm coming from

If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out

There's no accounting the days when you uncover what I see
And are you going away is where it's all in your mistake

If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out

If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out

If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out


9.Typical

I guess I gotta crawl before I can walk
I guess I gotta grow before we can talk
And I have the upper hand
I'm good at letting go but I'm getting better
You're never gonna know but you'll get a letter
I hope you understand

I never wanted it to go this far
Never thought it woudl be so hard
I never thought I would lose myself
But now I'm left with nothing else

Cause you're so typical
You're so damn difficult
You're so typical
You're so damn difficult

I guess you gotta lose before you can listen
I guess you gotta choose to see what you're missing
I am a better man
I'm good at letting go but I'm getting better
You're never gonna know but you'll get a letter
I hope you understand

I never wanted it to go this far
Never thought it woudl be so hard
I never thought I would lose myself
But now I'm left with nothing else

Cause you're so typical
You're so damn difficult
You're so typical
You're so damn difficult
You're predictable, cynical
I see it in your eyes
You're so typical
You're so damn difficult

And I see what this does to you
I'm holding back like I've got something left to prove
You're so cliche
I can see it in your face
See it in myself
The rest is up to you

Cause you're so typical
You're so damn difficult
Cause you're so typical
You're so damn difficult
You're so typical
You're so damn difficult
You're predictable, cynical
I see it in your eyes
You're so typical
You're so damn difficult
You're so typical
You're so damn difficult


10.Conventional Friend

I was blind till I opened up my eyes to see
And all this time I never noticed
All you ever had was hidden motives
You're just a curse
Another lie, another waste of my time

Until you go away, go away then
You only see me inside of this skin
Conventional friend, you've taken the best
You've taken the best and thrown it away

I'm obliged to forget you after all is said
And all this time I tried to fix you
Was just another way to avoid the issue
You're just a ruse
Another guise, another waste of my time

Until you go away, go away then
You only see me inside of this skin
Conventional friend, you've taken the best
You've taken the best and thrown it away

And no, no I won't get over this (it's a little too late)
I'm going insane (you gotta get, no, no I gotta get away)
Oh this is gonna fuck with my head
And I'll be looking for it in the end

Until you go away, go away then
You only see me inside of this skin
Conventional friend, you've taken the best
You've taken the best and thrown it away

Until you go away, go away then
You only see me inside of this skin
Conventional friend, you've taken the best
You've taken the best and thrown it away


11.Retrograde

I'm out of faith
I'm in retrograde
A dizzy pattern in a cheap parade
And I'm losing touch but I'm I'm not ashamed
Of what I say or how nice I play
I'm a trojan horse made of paper mache,
What has been ever comes 'round again

And I'm under a rain
(I'm under a rain)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
But I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess

I'm out of place
I'm a different state
A little scattered by a bitter fate
And I'm losing touch but I'm, I'm not afraid
I'll be okay just in a different way
I have no remorse I have no more shame
Oh nothing ever ends before it begins

And I'm under a rain
(I'm under a rain)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
But I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess

Well I'll be going 'round and 'round
this cycle won't slow down
I'm looking for the centre of this life I've found
What has been ever comes 'round again

And I'm under a rain
(I'm under a rain)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
But I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess

And I'm under a rain
(I'm under a rain)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
I've done my best
(I've done my best)
An undecided heart makes such a mess
