Shallow Bay:The Best Of

Breaking Benjamin Shallow Bay:The Best Of Lyrics
1.Polyamorous

Let's go!

The day has come to an end
The sun is over my head
My polyamorous friend
You got me in a mess of trouble again

So...

Just when you think that you're all right
I'm calling out from the inside
I never heard anyone
I never listen at all

They've come to get me again
The cloud is over my head
My polyamorous friend
You got me in a mess of trouble again

So...

Just when you think that you're all right
I'm calling out from the inside
I never heard anyone
I never listen
at all
Just stay away from the white light
I'd say your worst side's your best side
I never heard anyone
I never listen at all

Well how do you know?
Well how do you know?
Well how do you know?
Well how do you know?

Just when you think that you're all right
I'm crawlin' out from the inside
I never hurt anyone
I never listened at all
Just stay away from the white light
I'd say your worst side's your best side
I never hurt anyone
I never listened at all

Let's go!


2.Skin

Well I know you don't know the reason
and it's cold, a sign of the season
'cause you're old, and battered and beaten
and we'll grow, til we hit the ceiling, yeah


oh we better, get away
send a letter, bombs away
you're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
im off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself

well it's gone and it's not returning
and your clothes and pictures are burning
'cause you're old, and battered and beaten
and we'll grow, til we hit the ceiling, yeah

oh we better, get away
send a letter, bombs away
you're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
come up for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself

Yeah! oh we better, get away
send a letter, bombs away
you're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
come up for the weekend
I couldn't imagine anyone else
you're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
come up for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself


3.Medicate

I got somethin' up my sleeve
I know you will cover me
Inside out and in between
I know you will cover me
I've got bruises on my knees
I know you will cover me
Inside out and in between
And I know you will cover me

Run away
Make hate
And get laid
And get laid
You tie me up
I've had enough
So medicate
Medicate

I'm already incomplete
I know you will cover me
Broken by your empathy
I know you will cover me
I've been lyin' here for weeks
I know you will cover me
Inside out and in between
And I know you will cover me


4.So Cold

Crowded streets are cleared away
One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run

You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while strong men die

Show me it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied an empty inside
Well that's alright
Let's give this another try

If you find your family
Don't you cry
In this land of make believe
Dead and dry
You're so cold
but you feel alive
Lay your hand on me
One last time

Show me how it ends, It's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's alright
Let's give this another try

Show me how it ends, It's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's alright
Let's give this another try

Its alright


5.Sooner Or Later

I want a normal life
Just like a newborn child
I am a lover hater
I am an instigator
You are an oversight
Don't try to compromise
I'll learn to love to hate it
I am not integrated

Just call my name
you'll be okay
Your scream is burning through my veins

Sooner or later
You're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw your life away
Driving me under
Leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your life away

You're like an infantile
I knew it all the while
You sit and try to play me
Just like you see on TV
I am an oversight
Just like a parasite
Why am I so pathetic
I know you won't forget it

Just call my name
You'll be okay
Your scream is burning through my veins

Sooner or later
You're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw my life away
Driving me under
Leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw my life away

Sooner or later
You're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw our life away
Driving me under
Leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw our life away

oooooo throw our life away


6.Rain

Take a photograph,
It'll be the last,
Not a dollar or a crowd could ever keep me here,

I don't have a past
I just have a chance,
Not a family or honest plea remains to say,

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Is it you I want,
Or just the notion of
A heart to wrap around
so I can find my way around

Safe to say from here,
You're getting closer now,
We are never sad cause we are not allowed to be

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

To lie here under you,
is all that I could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,
To lie here under you is all that I could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun,
All the world is waiting for the sun,
All the world is waiting for the sun.


7.The Diary Of Jane

If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask
Would you like that?
Would you like that?

And I don't mind
If you say this love is the last time
So now I'll ask
Do you like that?
Do you like that?


Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Try to find out what makes you tick
As I lie down
Sore and sick
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

There's a fine line,between love and hate
And I don't mind
acoustic version)
Just let me say that I like that
I like that

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Desperate, I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love
Die for anyone
What have I become

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane


8.Breath

I see nothing in your eyes,
And the more I see the less I like
Is it over yet?
In my head?

I know nothing of your kind,
And I won't reveal your evil mind
Is it over yet?
I can't win

So sacrifice yourself
And let me have what's left
I know that I can find
A fire in your eyes
I'm going all the way
Get away, please

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You've gotta fight just to make it through
Cause I will be the death of you

This will be all over soon,
(This will be all over soon),
Pour the salt into the open wound
Is it over yet?
Let me in

So sacrifice yourself
And let me have what's left
I know that I can find
A fire in your eyes
I'm going all the way
Get away, please

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You've gotta fight just to make it through
Cause I will be the death of you

(tick tick tick)

I'm waiting
I'm praying
Realize
Start hating

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You've gotta fight just to make it through
Cause I will be the death of you


9.Until The End

So clever, whatever, I'm done with these endeavors
Alone I'll walk the winding way (here I stay)
It's over, no longer, I feel it growing stronger
I live to die another day, until I fade away

Why give up? Why give in?
It's not enough, it never is
So I will go on until the end
We've become, desolate
It's not enough, it never is
But I will go on until the end

Surround me, it's easy, to fall apart completely
I feel you creeping up again (In my Head)
It's over, no longer, I feel it growing colder
I knew this day would come to end, so let this life begin

Why give up? Why give in?
It's not enough, it never is
So I will go on until the end
We've become, desolate
It's not enough, it never is
But I will go on until the end

I've lost my way
I've lost my way
But I will go on until the end

Living is, hard enough, without you fucking UP.........

Why give up? Why give in?
It's not enough, it never is
So I will go on until the end
We've become, desolate
It's not enough, it never is
But I will go on until the end

I've lost the way
I've lost the way
But I will go on until the end

The final fight I win
The final fight I win
The final fight I win

But I will go on until the end


10.I Will Not Bow

Fall

Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath, its far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind
Now's your chance to run for cover
I don't want to change the world,
I just want to leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere

All is lost again, but I'm not giving in

I will not bow, I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away

Fall

Watch the end through dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to heaven

All is lost again, but I'm not giving in

I will not bow, I will not break
I will shove the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And I'll survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold blooded fake
I will shove the world away

I will not bow, I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And I'll survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold blooded fate
I will shut the world away

Fall


11.Lights Out

I am done pretending
You have failed to find what's left
I will suck you dry again
Some are not worth saving
You are such a pretty mess
I will choke the life within

Now you want to take me down
As if I even care
I am the monster in your head
And I thought you'd learn by now
It seems you haven't yet
I am the venom in your skin
And now your life
Is broken

After the lights go out on you
After your worthless life is through
I will remember how you scream
I can't afford to care
I can't afford to care

I am suffocating
You have failed to pull me in
I will drag you down again
Life is unrelenting
Feeding lies into my head
I will feed the lies you live

Now you want to take me down
As if I even care
I am the monster in your head
And I thought you'd learn by now
It seems you haven't yet
I am the venom in your skin
And now your life
Is broken

After the lights go out on you
After your worthless life is through
I will remember how you scream
I can't afford to care
I can't afford to care


12.Give Me A Sign

Dead star shine
Light up the sky
I'm all out of breath
My walls are closing in
Days go by
Give me a sign
Come back to the end
The shepherd of the damned

I can feel you falling away

No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
I'll keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever - and ever
the scars will remain
I'm falling apart
Leave me here forever in the dark

Daylight dies
Blackout the sky
Does anyone care?
Is anybody there?
Take this life
Empty inside
I'm already dead
I'll rise to fall again

I can feel you falling away

No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
I'll keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever - and ever
the scars will remain
I'm falling apart
Leave me here forever in the dark

God help me I've come undone
Out of the light of the sun
God help me I've come undone
Out of the light of the sun

I can feel you falling away

No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
I'll keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever - and ever
the scars will remain

Give me a sign
There's something buried in the words
Give me a sign
Your tears are adding to the flood
Just give me a sign
there's something buried in the words
Give me a sign
Your tears are adding to the flood
Just give me a sign
There's something buried in the words
Give me a sign
Your tears are adding to the flood

Forever - and ever
The scars will remain


13.Blow Me Away(feat. Valora)

They form a line,
One at a time,
Ready to play,
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose,
We've got to move,
Steady the helm.
(I am losing sight again)

Fire your guns,
It's time to roll,
Blow me away,
(I will stay in the mess I made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off,
Show me the way.

Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to heaven when we die,
I am a shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.

There's nothing left,
So save your breath,
Lying in wait.
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your cover's blown,
Nowhere to go,
Holding your fate.
(Loaded I will walk alone)

Fire your guns,
It's time to roll,
Blow me away,
(I will stay in the mess i made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off,
Show me the way.

Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to heaven when we die,
I am a shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.

Wanted it back
(Don't fight back God)

(Back off)

(Die)

Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to heaven when we die,
I am a shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.

Save us all!


14.Water

What's all this talk of a notion?
I'd rather drink from the ocean
What did you mean when you said no?
I only want what is best for you
I won't never let you drown
No I won't ever let you down

Cause I am my enemy
The water's up to the knee
I never wanted nothin' from you
Yes I do, yes I do
My engine's runnin' on dry
My head's so fucked up inside
Shut up
I know
I said so

There is no way to recover
You told me there is no other
The surface is getting hotter
I'll shove your head under water
But I won't ever let you drown
No I won't ever let you down

Cause I am my enemy
The waters' up to the knee
I never wanted nothin' from you
Yes I do, yes I do
My engine's runnin' on dry
My head's so fucked up inside
Shut up
I know
I said so

Cause I am my enemy
The water's up to the knee
I never wanted anything from you
Yes I do, yes I do
My engine's runnin' on dry
My head's so fucked up inside
Shut up
I know
I said so

Shut up
I know
I said so

Shut up
cause I know
I said... so


15.Had Enough

Milk it for all it's worth, make sure you get there first
The apple of your eye, the rotten core inside
We are all prisoners, things couldn't get much worse
I've had it up to here, you know your end is near

You had to have it all, well have you had enough ?
You greedy little bastard, you will get what you deserve
When all is said and done, I will be the one
To leave you in your misery and hate what you've become

Intoxicated eyes, no longer live that life
You should have learned by now, I'll burn this whole world down
I need some peace of mind, no fear of what's behind
You think you've won this fight, you've only lost your mind

You had to have it all, well have you had enough ?
You greedy little bastard, you will get what you deserve
When all is said and done, I will be the one
To leave you in your misery and hate what you've become

Oooh...

Hold me down (I will live again)
Pull me out (I will break it in)

(Hold me down (better in the end)
Hold me down

You had to have it all, well have you had enough ?
You greedy little bastard, you will get what you deserve
When all is said and done, I will be the one
To leave you in your misery and hate what you've become

Heaven help you
Heaven help you
