LIVE IN THE LBC & DIAMONDS

AVENGED SEVENFOLD LIVE IN THE LBC & DIAMONDS Lyrics
1.A Little Piece Of Heaven

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;James
Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

Before the story begins, is it such a sin,
For me to take what's mine, until the end of time?
We were more than friends, before the story ends,
And I will take what's mine,
Create what God would never design.

Our love had been so strong for far too long.
I was weak with fear that something would go wrong.
Before the possibilities came true,
I took all possibility from you.

Almost laughed myself to tears,
Conjuring her deepest fears.
(Come here you fuckin' bitch!)

Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times,
I can't believe it,
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes,
Eyes over easy.
Eat it, eat it, eat it!

She was never this good in bed
Even when she was sleepin'.
Now she's just so perfect I've
Never been quite so fucking deep in.

It goes on and on and on.
I can keep you lookin' young and preserved forever,
With a fountain to spray on your youth whenever.

'Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold; that's why I got a heater for your thighs,
And I know, I know it's not your time,
But bye, bye.
And a word to the wise: when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun.
Baby don't cry.

You had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime.
We fell apart.
Let's make a new start
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah, yeah.
But baby don't cry.

New possibilities I'd never considered,
Are occurring the likes of which I'd never heard.
Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave,
To repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved.

Smiling right from ear to ear.
Almost laughed herself to tears.

Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times,
I can't believe it,
Ripped his heart out right before his eyes,
Eyes over easy.
Eat it, eat it, eat it!
(Eat the shit out of it!)

Now that it's done I realize the error of my ways.
I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the
grave.

I gotta make up for what I've done
'Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven
While you burned in hell, no peace forever.

'Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold; that's why I got a heater for your thighs,
And I know, I know it's not your time,
But bye, bye.
And a word to the wise: when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun.
But baby don't cry.

You had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime.
We fell apart.
Let's make a new start
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah, yeah.
My baby don't cry.

I will suffer for so long
(What will you do, not long enough)
To make it up to you
(I pray to God that you do)
I'll do whatever you want me to do
(Well then I'll grant you one chance)
And if it's not enough
(If it's not enough, If it's not enough)
If it's not enough
(Not enough)
Try again
(Try again)
And again
(And again)
Over and over again

We're coming back, coming back.
We'll live forever, live forever.
Let's have a wedding, have a wedding.
Let's start the killing, start the killing.

Do you take this man in death for the rest of your natural life?
Yes I do.
Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your natural
life?
I do.
I now pronounce you.

'Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime.
We fell apart.
Let's make a new start, oh.
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah, yeah.
My baby don't cry.


2.Afterlife

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;James
Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

Like walking into a dream
So unlike what you've seen
So unsure but it seems
'Cause we?ve been waiting for you

Fallen into this place
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay
You'll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light
But girl, this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see
So how did this come to be, arrived too early?

And when I think of all the places
I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life
And realize this is going too far

I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here

A place of hope and no pain
Perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain
'Cause we've been waiting for you

Fallen into this place
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay
You'll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth's not right
(With my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time
(I'm much too young to fall)

So out of place don't wanna stay
I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind

Give me your hand
But realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave
And carry on my own life

I don't belong here, I gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here

Got nothing against you
And surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I'd hope you might
Take me back inside when the time is right

Loved ones back home all crying
'Cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God
That there's somebody listening

Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken, I?m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord, I'll try so hard but You gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

I don't belong here, I gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here

Got nothing against you
And surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I'd hope you might
Take me back inside when the time is right


3.Almost Easy

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;James
Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

I feel insane every single time
I'm asked to compromise
?Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways
And that?s the way it stays

So how long did I expect
Love to outweigh ignorance?
By that look on your face
I may have forced the scale to tip

I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I?m not, not insane
(I'm not)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Set it off)
Come back again, it's almost easy

Shame pulses through my heart
From the things I've done to you
It's hard to face but the fact remains
That this is nothing new

I left you bound and tied
With suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin
But deep inside I'm not insane

I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I?m not, not insane
(I'm not)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Set it off)

Come back again, it's almost easy
(You learned your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(It's still your fault)
Come back again, it's almost easy

Now that I've lost you, it kills me to say
(Hurts to say)
I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away
I'm losing the fight, I've treated you so wrong
Now let me make it right
(Make it all right)

I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I?m not, not insane
(I'm not)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Set it off)

Come back again, it's almost easy
(You learned your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(It's still your fault)
Come back again, it's almost easy


4.Bat Country

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;James
Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay
I tried to drive all through the night
The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights
No oasis here to see
The sand is singing deathless words to me

Can't you help me? As I'm startin' to burn
(All alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own
(All alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

As I adjust to my new sights
The rarely tired lights will take me to new heights
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right

Mental fiction follow me
Show me what it's like to be set free

Can't you help me? As I'm startin' to burn
(All alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own
(All alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

I'm sorry you're not here
I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear
Now take a trip with me
But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay
These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today

Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die
We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by
Don't want your absolution ?cause I can't make it right

I'll make a beast out of myself
Gets rid of all the pain of being a man

Can't you help me? As I'm startin' to burn
(All alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own
(All alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

I'm sorry you're not here
I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear
Now take a trip with me
But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem

I've known it from the start
All these good ideas will tear your brain apart
Scared but you, you follow me
I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die


5.Beast And The Harlot

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;James
Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

This shining city built of gold
A far cry from innocence
There's more than meets the eye 'round here
Look to the waters of the deep

A city of evil

There sat a seven-headed beast
Ten horns raised from his head
Symbolic woman sits on his throne
But hatred strips her and leaves her naked

The beast and the harlot

She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our
kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great

The city dressed in jewels and gold
Fine linen, myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once
As her mourners watch her burn

Destroyed in an hour

Merchants and captains of the world
Sailors navigators too
Will weep and mourn this loss
With her sins piled to the sky

The beast and the harlot

She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our
kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great

The day has come for all us sinners
If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground
Flee the burning, greedy city
Looking back on her to see there's nothin' around

I don't believe in fairy tales and no one wants to go to Hell
We've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us
Your welcome to the city where your future is set forever

She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our
kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great

She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our
kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great


6.Critical Acclaim

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;James
Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

(Quiet, might piss somebody off)
Like me motherfucker you?ve been at it for too long
While you feed off all those insecurities
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
I?ll bleed but not for fellow man
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

Telling them it?s all for something real
Don?t respect the words you?re speaking
Gone too far, acclaim

So, how does it feel to know that
Someone?s kid in the heart of America has blood on their hands
Fighting to defend your rights so you can maintain the lifestyle
That insults his family?s existence?

Well, where I'm from we have a special salute
We wave high in the air towards all those pompous asses
Who spend their days pointing fingers
(Fuck you)

(Quiet, might piss somebody off)
Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long
I?ll be damned if you count me in as part of your
Generous hypocrisy, collected in a maze

Tabloid gossip we want less real
(There?s no need for us to bury you)
Selfish agenda once again
(Right this way, you dug your own grave)

Telling them it?s all for something real
Don?t respect the words you?re speaking
Gone too far, acclaim

All the way from the east to the west
We got this high society looking down on their very foundation
Constantly reminding us that our actions
Are the cause of all their problems

Pointing their fingers in every direction
Blaming their own nation for who wins elections
They never contributed a fucking thing
To the country they love to criticize

Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue
Depictions we see, try and get through
And many mistakes can hurt
I?m not the last but I sure ain?t the first
(Quiet, might piss somebody off)

Self righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
I?ll bleed but not for fellow man
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

Telling them it?s all for something real
Don?t respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, acclaim


7.Crossroads

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;Jonathan
Lewis Seward;James Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

I've been traveling for so long
So lost ?till I stumbled upon
Two roads in front of me
I've got to take my time

To the right I could see a church
I took a step in that direction first
But to the left there was a watering hole
Where they were whiskey drunk
And now that's where I wanna pray
The fight down here goes on and on

If I was perfect then this would be easy
Either road's plausible on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult but now I can see

There's gotta be another way to go
A way that's much more feasible
A combination of all these lives
A central path without choosing a side

I make decisions one at a time
And no I never say I'm always right
I'm confident that when I stand on my own
You'll see the truest form of a man
When I'm shining through
The fight down here goes on and on

If I was perfect then this would be easy
Either road's plausible on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult but now I can see

Oh, I hear them now
All the religious rhymes
(Anger I see, anger I see, anger I see now)

The left isn't better
It's just more of the same
Condemning all these people
For what they believe

I climb to the top of that mountain again
And the closer to the top I get
The more they take aim but I'm not you

I may not be perfect but I've always been true
I may not be worthy in your eyes
Climb up from the bottom for the last time
The last one, the last one, the last time

If I was perfect then this would be easy
Either road's plausible on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult but now I can see, yeah


8.Dancing Dead

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;Jonathan
Lewis Seward;James Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

Dead men, they celebrate
As the final chapter fades away
'Cause they can't hide
We can see their flesh is rotten

The band plays a hopeful tune
The champagne is poured as they socialize
But look in their eyes, hide in the light!

Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax, enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancing in their graves

And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change, told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'm in a room watching the
Dead dancing in their graves

Bones covered up by suits
As the visible scars, they multiply
Kiss it goodbye
I'm too stubborn and I will destroy

Tick, tock, the time bomb has been
Recognized and pressurized
Nowhere to hide
Swallowing light

Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax, enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancing in their graves

And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change, told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'm in a room watching the
Dead dancing in their graves

I feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change


Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax, enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancing in their graves

And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change, told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'm in a room watching the
Dead dancing in their graves

Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change
Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change

Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change
Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change


9.Demons

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;Jonathan
Lewis Seward;James Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

I've been thinking lots about my life and
How quick I'd wash it down the drain
The past tense, the future, nothing matters now
I act on my own, and I'm to blame

Living's a wicked dream when things turn out all wrong
We're all so weak, no matter how strong, yeah

I tried running away from me, convince me that I've grown
But I can't change so unnaturally, demons, they follow me
I quit running away from me, convinced that I had grown
But found out all my reasons for insanity, all a part of me

I don't like that you're calling me a liar
I don't like that you found out I'm a snake
Been sneaking around for far too long now
I don't like how fast my intentions fade

Karma has beat me down, the worst is yet to come
Many mistakes, and still I'm so young, yeah

I tried running away from me, convince me that I've grown
But I can't change so unnaturally, demons, they follow me
I quit running away from me, convinced that I had grown
But found out all my reasons for insanity, all a part of me

I can't count how many times awakened in fear
Nightly, palms sweating
Dreams of promises I've made to no one but myself
I've been crushed daily
Don't lend me your hand, I can't trust myself
So how can you trust me?

We've all made selfish, bad decisions
We've all tried dishing out the blame
Convinced ourselves of our own actions
My problem is, I'll never change

In doubt, some good comes out, I'll fold before it's time
Can't promise you that it's my last time, yeah

I tried running away from me, convince me that I've grown
But I can't change so unnaturally, demons, they follow me
I quit running away from me, convinced that I had grown
But found out all my reasons for insanity, all a part of me

Truth won't help you now, all the love's gone too far, oh, oh
Truth won't help you now, all the love's gone too far, oh, oh

I'm scarred, yeah
Demons, they follow me, cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons, they follow me, cause my insanity

I'm scarred, yeah
Demons, they follow me, cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons, they follow me, cause my insanity

Demons, they follow me, cause my insanity
Demons, they follow me, cause my insanity


10.Flash Of The Blade

Songwriters:Bruce Dickinson

As a young boy chasing dragons
With your wooden sword so mighty
You're St. George or you're David
And you always killed the beast

Time?s change very quickly
And you had to grow up early
A house in smoking ruins
And the bodies at your feet

You'll die as you lived
In the flash of the blade
In a corner forgotten away
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
One man, and his honor

The smell of resined leather
The sticky iron mask
As you cut and thrust and parried
At the fencing master's call

He taught you all he knew
To fear no mortal man
And now you'll wreak your vengeance
On the screams of evil men

You'll die as you lived
In the flash of the blade
In a corner forgotten away
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
One man, and his honor

You'll die as you lived
In the flash of the blade
In a corner forgotten away
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
One man, and his honor

You'll die as you lived
In the flash of the blade
In a corner forgotten away
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
One man, and his honor


11.Girl I Know

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;Jonathan
Lewis Seward;James Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
That comes alive when you take off her clothes
There's no telling just where she's been
Asked around but no one seems to know

Late at night when you're looking to sin
Call her up and she'll lay down the law
You can't trust her, 'cause she'll lie to your face
But that's not why you gave her a call

Awaits deep inside, the lust and burning desire

We've all been more than eager to sin
And it feels alright, 'til we pay the price
Now you choose, either naughty or nice
'Cause she?s here for you, it's all yours tonight
You won't believe the stories I've been told
About the girl I know

Another thing about this girl I know
She's more comfortable down on her knees
Went to school, got a job, and then she shot into hell
All 'cause she?s born to please

Don't get her mixed up 'cause she knows what she likes
Can't tell the difference between right and wrong
She knows you're watching every one of her moves
Just more reason to string you along

Awaits deep inside, the lust and burning desire

We've all been more than eager to sin
And it feels alright, 'til we pay the price
Now you choose, either naughty or nice
'Cause she?s here for you, it's all yours tonight
You won't believe the stories I've been told
About the girl I know

The first time's hard enough, but you made it through
The second time I see the changes in you
She's got you somehow, you're needing her now

We've all been more than eager to sin
And it feels alright, 'til we pay the price
Now you choose, either naughty or nice
'Cause she?s here for you, it's all yours tonight
You won't believe the stories I've been told
About the girl I know


12.Gunslinger

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;James
Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

Yeah, you've been alone
I've been gone for far too long
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

Never let it show
The pain I've grown to know
?Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky
I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now

I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through, yeah
?Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

Letters keep me warm
Helped me through the storm
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky
I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now

I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through, yeah
?Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

I've always been true
I've waited so long just to come, hold you
I'm making it through, it's been far too long
We've proven our love over time so strong in all that we do

The stars in the night
They lend me their light
To bring me closer to heaven with you

But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky
I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now

I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through, yeah
?Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

And with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you


13.Scream

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;James
Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

Caught up in this madness, too blind to see
Woke animal feelings in me
Took over my sense and I lost control
I'll taste your blood tonight

You know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me, baby
But no, it's too late, you've wasted all your time

Relax while you're closing your eyes to me
So warm as I'm setting you free
With your arms by your side there's no struggling
Pleasure's all mine this time

Ooh, you know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me, baby
But no, it's too late, you've wasted all your time

Cherishing those feelings
Pleasuring
Cover me
Unwanted clemency

Scream 'til there's silence
Scream while there's life left vanishing
Scream from the pleasure
Unmask your desire, perishing

We've all had a time where we've lost control
We've all had our time to grow
I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right
I'll hunt again one night

Ooh, you know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me, baby
But no, it's too late, you've wasted all your time

Cherishing those feelings
Pleasuring
Cover me
Unwanted clemency

Scream 'til there's silence
Scream while there's life left vanishing
Scream from the pleasure
Unmask your desire, perishing

Some live repressing their instinctive feelings
Protest the way we're built
Don't point the blame on me

Scream! Scream! Scream!
The way you would if I ravaged your body
Scream! Scream! Scream!
The way you would if I ravaged your mind

Cherishing those feeling
Pleasuring
Cover me
Unwanted clemency

Scream 'til there's silence
Scream while there's life left vanishing
Scream from the pleasure
Unmask your desire, perishing


14.Second Heartbeat

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;James
Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

We keep writing, talking and planning
But everything's changing
We all know what to do but no one does it
Now, this time has passed and full of regret

Two in my heart have left me a while
I stand alone, when they get back
It won't be the same, it won't be the same

My life, you've always been there
Now, you're gone and my heads spinning
Left the childhood, left the memories
Left the good times in the past
Moving on your time has run out

Wishing the clock would stand still
The world can wait
Wasting away once again
Once lived as friends

As time passes by
Regrets for the rest of my life
The ones who I confide
Were gone in the black of the night

Yeah, never will I forget you
With all the memories past
So rarely I get to see your face

Growing I looked to you in guidance
We knew that time could kill us
But you're still so close to me

To me you were my life
To me you were my soul companion
Now you are so far away
Nothing can take away the times and the memories we've had

Come back, to the days when we were young
Come back, to the days when nothing mattered

I feel time passes by
Regrets for the rest of my life
The ones who I confide
Were gone in the black of the night

As time passes by
Regrets for the rest of my life
The ones who I confide
Were gone in the black of the night


15.Seize The Day

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;James
Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

Seize the day or die
Regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over

I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travel on
Will undergo our same lost past

I found you here
Now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life
But will it be forever?

I'd do anything for a smile
Holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come
But I don't want to leave you

I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory
Or just one picture

Seize the day or die
Regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over

Newborn life replacing all of us
Changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here
So where do we go?

Will you take a journey tonight
Follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if
There is no eternal life?

I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory
Or just one picture

Seize the day or die
Regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone
Without you here, please tell me
What we have is real

So, what if I never hold you, yeah
Or kiss your lips again?
So I never want to leave you
And the memories of us to see
I beg don't leave me

Seize the day or die
Regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone
Without you here, please tell me
What we have is real

Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day
Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day

Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day
Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day

Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day
Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day


16.Tension

Songwriters:Mark Sanders;Zachary James Baker;Jonathan Lewis
Seward;James Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

I wake up every morning bright and early
Roll out of bed but I'm never quite alone
Tension is pulling me in all directions
And these problems use me as a rope

Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
At any time I could explode
I need some peace of mind, it's got me tired
Don't wanna lose it, but I'm turning down that road

I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
We all need a moment in our life
Work's hard, the day's too long
And that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time

I sit in traffic every single morning
Just as I arrive, I'm slaving to the grind
Making the money, so I feed my family
But I can't raise them, 'cause I ain't got the time

I got no free days on my busy schedule
I turn the page and it's the same
Don't like my situation, you don't either
Don't wanna look back scared, I will get away

I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
We all need a moment in our life
Work's hard, the day's too long
And that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time

But every now and then I drive alone and over all
Hot summer day, a gentle breeze that feels alright
All alone, and I can't feel no pain, only strain
Enjoy the sights, I feel alive, relaxing here just feels alright
Far from home

I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
We all need a moment in our life
Work's hard, the day's too long
And that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time


17.The Fight

Songwriters:Matthew Charles Sanders;Zachary James Baker;Jonathan
Lewis Seward;James Owen Sullivan;Jr. Haner

The problem with society's been
How do we teach and if they'll believe
We'll fight this battle for years to come
?Til we only accept that we can stand on our own

Rip off the youth, hands empty
Worked them too the bone
Provide his family with a happy home, alone

Don't take your oppression out on me
My old man is all I'm meant to be

This common place is so lazy or tired
All your ideas are so plainly uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one percent to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?

You don't wanna be, they never say
But don't call us the liars

We've walked these alleys a thousand times
And scattered around a thousand lies
They are trying to hold you till your night may
Be hard but keep your feet on the ground

Why don't I have the finest things that others have?
The chance is there if you want it all that bad
So bad

Don't take your oppression out on me
My old man is all I'm meant to be

This common place is so lazy or tired
All your ideas are so plainly uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one percent to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?

Don't try and get me confused
?Cause I do understand
And sometimes people need help
That they may need a
And when this problem's going on

A thing you have to get straight
Is that you don't own my hand
And I don't owe you a thing
So don't think about how
You feel when now your treated so bad

This common place is so lazy or tired
All your ideas are so plainly uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one percent to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?

And as a race we look back and we've come so far
While some thing that others have had it so hard

But in this day we just complain
While there's no room for us to fight
I guess we're born in this
It?s how we keep our side to hide


18.Unholy Confessions

'I'll try,' she said as she walked away, 'Try not to los you.'
Two vibrante hearts could change
Nothin' tears the being more than deception,
Unmasked fear
I'll be here waiting, tested and secure

Nothing hurts my world,
Just effects the ones around me,
When sin's deep in my blood,
You'll be the one to fall!

I wish I could be the one,
The one who won't care at all,
But being the one on the stand,
I know the way to go, No one's guiding me.

When time soaked with blood turns it's back,
I know it's hard to fall,
Confided in me was your heart,
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me

Nothing will last in this life,
Our time is spent constructing,
Now you're perfecting a world... meant to sin,
Constrict your hands around me,
Squeeze till I cannot breathe,

This air tastes dead inside me,
Contribute to our plague,
Break all your promises,
Tear down this steadfast wall,
Restraints are useless here,
Tasting salvation's near!

*screaming*

Nothing hurts my world,
Just effects the ones around me,
When sin's deep in my blood,
You'll be the one to fall!

I wish I could be the one,
The one who won't care at all,
But being the one on the stand,
I know the way to go,
No one's guiding me,
When time soaked with blood turns it's back,
I know it's hard to fall,
Confided in me was your heart,
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me


19.Until The End

Weekends on young and angry streets
We meet, drink 'till trouble found us there
Living life as without a care(without a care)
We've had our fights, been black and blue
It's true, I've even gone to jail for you my friends
Bet your life that I'd do it again.

(Until the End)

Don't change the way you think of me
We're from the same story
Life moves on, can't stay the same
But some of us, some worry
While some have gone their separate ways
There's some still caught up with the past instead
But move on, you're missing most of your life(life)
They say it's hard to stay the same
When some fail, while other men seem to gain, but friends
I'll be with you here until the end

(Until the End)

Don't change the way you think of me
We're from the same story
Life moves on, can't stay the same
But some of us, some worry
We're all falling forward
With no signs of slow
And some moving faster
But that's all that I wanted
I wanted

You know it's hard
It's passing by
Memories
Be out all night
To reminisce wont bring you back
Just look ahead and hold on tight
We're all falling forward
With no signs of slow
And some moving faster
That's all that I wanted
I wanted

Don't change the way you think of me
Oh yeah

Oh yeah
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end


20.Walk

Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence
One step from lashing out at you...
You want in to get under my skin
And call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you
What do I do?

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

Respect, walk
What did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talking to me?

Are you talking to me?

Run your mouth when I'm not around
It's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word


Are you talking to me?
No way, punk!


Are you talking to me?
Walk on home, boy
