Catalyst

A New Found Glory Catalyst Lyrics
1.Intro(Catalyst)

Don't
Believe
A Word
A word they say

It's more then a t-shirt, it's more then a tattoo,
It's more then a phase, this is how I was raised
Little kids tryin to market this feeling
We read what you said and no, we're not the same
No, we're not the same

You'll never be a part
You'll never sing a song
You'll never get respect
and you can't fool us cause we know what you are

Don't
Believe
A word
A word they fucking say


2.All Downhill From Here

You're hiding something cause it's burning through your eyes
I try to get it out but all I hear from you are lies
And I can tell you're going through the motions
I figured you were acting out your part
Once again we're playing off emotion
Which one of us will burn until the end

Catalyst you insist to pull me down
You contradict the fact that you still want me around
And it's all downhill from here (x2)

Your good intentions slowly turn to bitterness
Reoccuring episodes with each and every kiss
And I can tell you're going through the motions

I figured you were acting out your part
Once again we're playing off emotion
Which one of us will burn until the end

Catalyst you insist to pull me down
You contradict the fact that you still want me around
And it's all downhill from here (x2)

And I can't believe you pulled it off again
Or notice till it all sets in
You'll deny it till you're at your bitter end

And I can tell you're going through the motions
I figred you were acting out your part
Once again we're playing off emotion
Which one of us will burn until the end

Catalyst you insist to pull me down
You contradict the fact that you still want me around
And it's all downhill from here (x2)

And you keep pulling me down
Pulling me down
Pulling me down
You contract the fact that you still want me around
And it's all downhill from here (x2)


3.This Disaster

Are you aware
Of how much you complicate me
And are you aware
Your words suffocate me
And don't deny
You're talking behind my back to your friends
And don't deny
One day you'll need me, need me

All my life I've been looking for the answers
To the questions you never asked
Ane we never planned on this disaster
When will I let it go

So incomplete
Your stare is cold unlike anything I've ever seen
So imcomplete
Your body is tired and falling apart at the seams
I won't deny
I took a part and never wanted you back
Don't deny
One day you'll need me, need me

All my life I've been looking for the answers
To the questions you never asked
and we never planned on this disaster
When will I let it go

All my life I've been looking for the answers
To the questions you never asked
and we never planned on this disaster
When will I let it go

If it's tonight
Please let me know
If it's tonight
Why don't you let me know

All my life I've been looking for the answers
To the questions you never asked
and we never planned on this disaster
When will I let it go

All my life I've been looking for the answers
To the questions you never asked
We never planned on this disaster
When will I let it go

All my life I've been looking for the answers
We never planned on this disaster


4.Truth Of My Youth

There was a time and place,
Where I never thought,
I'd leave my own hometown,
But those days finally,
Are dead and gone,
It was never my intention to stay there,
Oh no,

There was a concious effort played by me,
To disown anything I see,
There was a girl I knew,
Way back when,
Who says she doesnt know me anymore,
These are the lies the things you never mention,
These are my past mistakes I'll stay away from,

These are my thoughts written down on paper,
It's my only savior,
From not saying what I want to say,
These are the thoughts that are on my mind,
Moments that haven't yet been defined,
And I dont know if you could ever understand,
These are the things I cant say when were alone.

There were countless hours on the telephone,
My ears were ringing from the dial tone,
There were flashing lights,
People staring,
There was nothing I could ever do,
These are the lies the things you never mention,
These are my past mistakes I'll stay away from,

This is the truth,
The only time you'll here it,
I write it down because it seems so hard to say it,

These are my thought written down on paper,
It's my only savior,
From not saying what i want to say,
These are the thought that are on my mind,
Moments that havent yet been defined,
And i dont know if you could ever understand,
These are the things i cant say when were alone.


5.I Don't Wanna Know

I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

Your eyes were covered in sunglasses
When they first met mine
I sat there and stared at you
You didn't seem to mind
The awkward ways we meet

First comes heavy breathing
Staring at the ceiling
What will happen next
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

I never cared how I dressed before
But I cared that night
Anticipation ran through my bones
And my clothes never fit right
I can't wait til we meet again

First comes heavy breathing
Staring at the ceiling
What will happen next
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

Framed pictures start to be put on the walls
Constant visits while I'm out on the road
It's hard to leave sometimes
But you know where I lay my head at night

First comes heavy breathing
Staring at the ceiling
What will happen next
I don't wanna know

I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

First comes heavy breathing
Staring at the ceiling
What will happen next
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

I don't wanna know


6.Your Biggest Mistake

What do you think inside your head
I wanna know
Don't you think that this could end up, breaking you

Your life is a time bomb set to explode
You talk out your ass and everyone knows
For once you should listen and care what I think
Or I'll be gone before you can blink

Everyone's told you, over and over again
You're making the biggest mistake of your life
Everyone's told you, everyone you've left behind
You're making the biggest mistake of your life

Everyone knows that you're afraid of missing out
And I know that it's hard for you to swallow down
The world you've created is set to explode
You lie through your teeth and everyone knows
For once you should take what I'm willing to give
Or you'll stay stuck in the web you're trapped in

Everyone's told you, over and over again
You're making the biggest mistake of your life
Everyone's told you, everyone you've left behind
You're making the biggest mistake of your life

It's a chance you should take
And I know it's not an easy one to make
You-should-trust-the-ones-that-are-closet-to-you

Everyone's told you, over and over again
You're making the biggest mistake of your life
Everyone's told you, everyone you've left behind
You're making the biggest mistake of your life


7.Doubt Full

This letter explains everything
The content it is the truth
Each word could cut like daggers
If I decide to finally give it to you

I've rewrote and rechecked a thousand times
Licked it shut and said my goodbyes
The lines are perfectly written to break wide open
This conclusion

And it feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one full of doubt

I know that time won't change a thing
If we're all moving in slow motion
It's hard to catch up
When the world is weighing you down

And it feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one full of doubt

I'm confused don't know what I should do
You could lose everything close to you
Tell me how does his feel

And it feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one full of doubt


8.Failure's Not Flattering

What's your problem?
Can't you see it?
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will

Don't leave this rock unturned cause you could like what you
find
A sure hot hit with your name attached to it
Will you keep me in mind?
I won't cast the first stone or leave the first mark
But I will leave a lasting impression
You believe what you want and you've said what's been said
And I do hope you learn a lesson
I do hope you learn a lesson

What's your problem?
Can't you see it?
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will

Don't look too hard for what you want
Cause it could be on the tip of your tongue
You're holding back like there's nothing left to it
Could this be a false alarm?
I won't cast the first stone or leave the first mark
But I will leave a lasting impression
You believe what you want and you've said what's been said
And I do hope you learn a lesson
I do hope you learn a lesson

What's your problem?
Can't you see it?
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will

Why don't you get it together now?
Failure's not flattering
When will you show yourself?
When will you show yourself

I do hope you learn a lesson
I, you'll never learn your lesson

What's your problem?
Can't you see it?
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will
(2x)


9.Over The Head, Below The Knees

You must not
Have a heart
Have nothing in your chest
To let it go
For so long
And let this go so far
That it goes over your head

You could fool
Anyone, with your pensive smile
And you could live, in your lie
For only a while
And I can only take so much
(from not so far away)
And I admit this could be love
(but love can always wait)
But it goes over your head

What does she have
Can you let go
Can you tell me
What I am aching to know
(2x)

You could ruin any mood
Just by saying what's on your mind
You could only tame his body
Never tame his mind
And I can only take so much
(from now so far away)
And I admit this could be love
(but how long did you wait?)
But it goes over your head

What does she have?
Can you let go?
Can you tell me
What I am aching to know?
(2x)

If I'm, reaching
You you're not letting it show
Used up, your space
Now there's no room to grow
Too deep, can't breathe
And you can't find the end
It's right in front of you
But it goes over your head
Over your head (over your head)

What does she have?
Can you let go?
Can you tell me
What I am aching to know?
(2x)

You must not have a heart
Have nothing in your chest


10.Ending In Tragedy

I tried to save us
But little did I know
You are a speeding train off track
With little time to go

I tried everything
Tried so hard to let you know
But now I'm on my last thread
Pulling away to no avail

Yeah
Now it's our time
Yeah
Now it's our time
And I'll see you on the other side

Beneath all your skin
There's another side to you
You built up city walls
so i never get through

Yeah
Now it's our time
Yeah
Now it's our time
And I'll see you on the other side

Why would I take it too far
With not thinking
about the end at all
If a fortune could say
what the future will bring
Then I'm not convinced
It's ending in tragedy
And most of all
It's in my control
To end it all


11.At Least I'm Known For Something

I'm in and out of conversation
It's hard to keep my attention locked down
So don't take offense to anything I say
I tried to hard to keep you coming back my way

But you don't know the half
And I'm the one to blame for it

Cause I'm best known for failure
Best known for giving up
There's nothing that I could say that could matter
That could matter enough
(2x)

I figured out my situation
I am an endless source of useless information
Give me bad news cause it's already been expected
I let my front down and I know I will regret it

But you don't know the half
And I'm the one to blame for it

Cause I'm best known for failure
Best known for giving up
There's nothing that I could say that could matter
That could matter enough
(2x)

Let's get down
To business now
I'm saving myself the trouble in the end
(2x)

But you don't know the half
And I'm the one to blame for it

Cause I'm best known for failure
Best known for giving up
There's nothing that I can say that could matter

Yes, I'm the one to blame for this
Yes, I'm the one to blame

Best known for failure
Best known for giving up
There's nothing that I could say that could matter
That could matter enough


12.Constant Static

Yeah
I'm on the verge of something good
It's been up my sleeve this whole time, waiting

Yeah
Another condescending tide
I'll just avoid turning completely over
Now I

I can't relate to your constant static
Your lack of remorse is cause for panic
No, I can't relay , I never did
The worst thing was when I let you in
I let you in

Yeah
You might take a second look
It's just a game we play
And we all hesitate

Yeah
My Outlook isn't good
But at least I can say I wake up happy
Every day
Every day

I can't relate to your constant static
Your lack of remorse is cause for panic
No, I can't relay , I never did
The worst thing was when I let you in
I let you in

No
This is the bad translation of dictionarys I keep in my head,
I read my mind, the cycles that look
Sketches that I keep hidden and locked away

I can't relate to your constant static
Your lack of remorse is cause for panic
No, I can't relay , I never did
The worst thing was when I let you in
I let you in


13.No News Is Good News

All along, we follow blindly,
Force-fed prime time, previewed nightly,
Why would anybody leave the safety of their homes?

I wonder why,
I wonder why,
Only disasters flood the headlines,
Other people's misery,
You're up for the next three hours,
Commercial free.

And I can't take much more of this
We're all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channels,
So I turn it off.

I see billboards on the horizon,
I can't imagine what they'll tell me,
What to wear,
What to drink,
Where to eat,
It's so easy not to think for yourself anymore,
So naive,
You don't do anything anymore.

And I can't take much more of this,
We're all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channel,
And no,
I can't take much more of this,
We're all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channel..

We all gave in,
We all complain,
We sit and wait,
For things to change,
We're waiting,
We're waiting..

All along, we follow blindly,
All along, we follow blindly.

And I can't take much more of this,
We're all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channel,
And no,
I can't take much more of this
We're all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channel..
So I turn it off..
Turn it off..


14.Who Am I

Don't say it'll stay this way forever

I'm afloat in the ocean tryin not to sink
I'm a crack in the asphalt you walk by on the street
I'm a falling star you'll never see
The lash in your eye the eye can't tame
So who am I?

Don't say it'll stay this way forever
Don't say it'll stay this way forever

I'm the lesson you'll never learn
The sickness that was never your concern
I'm the big surprise at the end of the night
The question left at the corner of your mind
So who am I?

Don't say it'll stay this way forever
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(You don't know, you don't don't, you'll never know)
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(You don't know, you don't don't, you'll never know)

I'm holdin on
Yes I am careful what I wish for
I am the knot in your stomach
The phlegm in your throat
The message sayin you're not home

Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(You don't know, you don't don't, you'll never know)
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(You don't know, you don't don't, you'll never know)

I'm afloat in the ocean trying not to sink..
