1.Stamp Of Approval
Don't let the truth misguide you.
You'll never know her true intentions
and all the fear that hides inside you.
Thrown headfirst into submission,
pray for the day that you can save your place in line.
Trade in your faith, your beliefs.
Trade everything to see your name in lights.
She sold her soul to the State of California.
It's no surprise she thinks she's calling the shots.
She sold her sold to the State of California.
They'll take you and make you into everything you said you're
not.
You got to stand up for yourself,
fight for what you believe.
They'll leave you bloodied, bruised and broken
before you even know they're through.
They feed you lines like,
'Girl you are one of a kind, One day the seas will part for
you.'
But I've seen so many other girls
who all dress and drink and screw the way you do.
She sold her soul to the State of California.
It's no surprise she thinks she's calling the shots.
She sold her sold to the State of California.
They'll take you and make you into everything you said you're
not.
Check the headlines everyday.
Will your name be proudly on display？
They make, they break people like us.
Another soul lost in the haze.
Another story for the back page.
They make, they break people like us.
I'm just a casualty of fair play.
(They make, they break people like us.)
Will the west coast be enough？
Will it ever be enough？
She sold her soul to the State of California.
It's no surprise she thinks she's calling the shots.
She sold her sold to the State of California.
They'll take you and make you into everything you said you're
not.
She sold her soul to the State of California.
It's no surprise she thinks she's calling the shots.
She sold her sold to the State of California.
They'll take you and make you into everything you said you're
not.
2.40 Thieves
Do you ever feel yourself blinded by the neon lights,
hanging on, only to hang on？
You shuffle day to day to be lost up in the fray
and you're only saving grace is barely saving face.
Time goes by and I wonder will we make a stand？
All we want is to make it out alive,
keep our feet in marching time.
This is all that we know.
And all you want is to meet life's expectations.
It's all you want and it's all you'll ever know.
Don't fall asleep to that lullaby they sing.
You hum along intently.
This used to be ours and it can be that great again.
We're just mannequins and models for the next big thing
that they will push on you.
Time goes by and I wonder will we make a stand？
All we want is to make it out alive,
keep our feet in marching time.
This is all that we know.
And all you want is to meet life's expectations.
It's all you want and it's all you'll ever know.
Can we make it through this life unscarred？
Do we even want to？ Do we even have a choice？
Did you get what I meant
when I said, 'We are the Living Dead？'
Maybe the ego is all mine. I pray it's not all the time.
All we want is to make it out alive,
All we want is to make it out alive,
keep our feet in marching time.
This is all that we know.
And all you want is to meet life's expectations.
It's all you want and it's all you'll ever know.
3.Where I'm From,You Die With Your Secrets
Close down the blinds
And shut off the quiet world on the outside.
Plaster on a fake smile,
So they won't see the bruises you hide.
She's the only one with a say.
Her face is blank like a chalkboard,
And we'll erase it like everyday,
A parachute with no ripcord.
Falling down, falling down
Into a world that we both don't know.
Falling down, falling down
Into a world that we both don't know.
Don't open the blinds.
That tired old vaudeville act keeps going on outside.
We won't see the signs.
Life would be better if you would just die.
It only hurts for the first time,
And then you're numb to the pain.
Indecision is just too close
When your reflection just isn't the same.
Falling down, falling down
Into a world that we both don't know.
Falling down, falling down
Into a world that we both don't know.
Can you still be strong and will you sacrifice'
Now there's no ground to stand on
And there's no room to breathe.
Now there's no ground to stand on
And there's no room to breathe.
Now there's no ground to stand on
And there's no room to breathe.
Now there's no ground to stand on
4.Hold Your Breath
Can you glance at me
One more second
Before you walk out that door？
When miles are standing in my way,
Feeling like a zombie everyday,
Those tired eyes will always get me home.
She said, 'Let's drive like we are the only ones on the road
tonight.'
You don't have to look and hold your breath.
Return and you will find me.
If somehow I should forget,
I'll have this song to remind me.
With one hand pinned to your chest
And the other grasping mine,
do you swear a solemn oath？
Never forget these moments,
Never comfort them with lies.
Always keep them locked at home.
She said, 'Let's drive like we are the only ones on the road
tonight.'
You don't have to look and hold your breath.
Return and you will find me.
If somehow I should forget,
I'll have this song to remind me.
Don't believe a word they say to you
When you're feeling less than whole.
Don't believe a word they say to you
And don't believe a word they say to you
When you're feeling less than whole.
Don't believe a word they say to you
You don't have to look and hold your breath.
Return and you will find me.
If somehow I should forget,
I'll have this song to remind me.
You don't have to look and hold your breath.
Return and you will find me.
If somehow I should forget,
5.Mt. St. Joseph
How can you sit there in your room like a caged up refugee？
Barely alive and all worn out with the fake plastic trees.
Is it the only thing that makes you feel like life has meaning？
The scars are tattooed down your arms.
All we wait for is everything that used to matter.
Now all that's left is our hope and battle scars.
All we wait for is everything that used to matter.
It's too damn hard to watch you fall apart.
What are you trying to find
driving late with no headlights？
When you go down that road
you can never go home again.
Can't lie around all day, blood and bone and tooth decay.
Down here, you know, no one ever survives.
All we wait for is everything that used to matter.
Now all that's left is our hope and battle scars.
All we wait for is everything that used to matter.
It's too damn hard to watch you fall apart.
It's too damn hard to watch you fall apart.
I remember the day the scent crept out under your door.
They found you three days later.
You were buried under your sheets.
It was too damn hard to watch
as heaven and hell held you down like anchors,
and your demons finally lulled you back to sleep.
Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh
Joey, you let them get to you.
Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh
How could you be so careless？
Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh
Can you hear us from where you are？
All we wait for is everything that used to matter.
Now all that's left is our hope and battle scars.
All we wait for is everything that used to matter.
It's too damn hard to watch you fall apart.
It's too damn hard to watch you fall apart.
6.The Promises You Keep (Burn This Bridge)
7.Heavy Lies The Crown
8.Wasted Youth
9.Half-Step Down
Every single day I want to hear you say.
I had the worst day of my life.
When I'm feeling down, gagged and bound,
with my lungs hanging out from the inside.
I remember your face and those lonesome dimples
you tried to misplace.
When sorrow and hate have bowed out in discrace,
I'll light the candle for you.
All I really want in this life is to hurt and hate more but I
can't.
Everybody knows you try to fit in and it's too hard
to ignore the fact that you are just a face in the crowd.
And its eating you from the inside, from the inside.
I don't know too much about anything anymore
but I know...WHERE WE STAND!
I know you could care less I know.
I'm pretty sure this candle flame is fading.
All I really want in this life is to hurt and hate more but I
can't.
Everybody knows you try to fit in and it's too hard
to ignore the fact that you are just a face in the crowd.
And its eating you from the inside, from the inside.
I know that you will dwell on those words you said to me.
Hold back, Hold back, Just pull back!
All I really want in this life is to hurt and hate more but I
can't.
Everybody knows you try to fit in and it's too hard
to ignore the fact that you are just a face in the crowd.
And its eating you from the inside, from the inside.
10.Behind Our Backs
11.Hot Hand In A Dice Game
Tonight I'll leave all my fears behind,
Just one night, bfore they consume me
This distance is killing me but willingly
I would be here for you
And that is why this heart is beating for you my love,
As I held you in my arms...
This heart is beating for you my love,
as I held you in my arms...
These eyes are polished
Every night a clear coat of gloss to keep them bright
Anything to keep this all behind
I'm standing at the edge of everything
That I can't escape and it's finally breaking me down
As I breathe in you burn my lungs
As you fell so fast from these arms
that once held so tight to you
But now the tables have turned
You're the cause of this cancer
