Of Mice & Men

Of Mice & Men Of Mice & Men Lyrics
1.YDG

Won't be mistaken with the saints of youth,
God's backed up again.
I swear, when I scream,
we're not home again.

Run from your problems,
but you cannot run from yourself.
Run from your problems,
but you cannot run from yourself.
You'll take this back.

Broken I've lied,
pick up the pieces,
you'll try to live for yourself.
How can you live for yourself?
Live how you wish,
but live as if you'll die today.

I won't stop until I can reach you
& get this off my chest.
A sense of direction,
to lead you home again.

Mind your tongue
& save your breath for someone else.
You won't believe me,
we're not the same 'cause I dig
& I dig you too.
Conformed in writing,
I will fight for the sake of you.
I will fight for this.

Dream if you'll live forever,
Dream for me.

Broken down,
I've tried to pick up the pieces.
You lied.
You live for yourself.
Yourself.


2.They Don't Call It The South For Nothing

Make waves, make waves, I'm sea,
It's all you can take.
Come back, back down now,
I'm drifting away.
Your ship's sunk.
It's gone down, now your captain is dead.
Your saints become sailors,
when my ocean is fed
by these bloody waters, mark my words.
Come on.

When I said I'd fight back,
I didn't say that I'd fight fair.
I said I'd fight back,
I didn't say that I'd fight fair.

Salt your eyes. Sleep with all the fishes.
The waves start the flood that's drowning yourself.

Broken, then we'll salt your eyes.
No wind, this sound.
Waves, make waves. Back down,
Stop drifting away.
Come back, come back,
It's all you can take.
We'll pour salt in your eyes.
I said I'd fight back,
I didn't say that I'd fight.


3.Second & Sebring

I believe its time for me to be famous,
and out of place.
I believe its time for me to move for forward,
when i break through.
This time I'll, make you,
Proud to see me over, come all day life.
Proud of, who you raised.
Your shelter, your peacefulness.
So this time I'll make you proud.

Proud of, who you raised up.
You know that I will,
always be here till' the end.
Come back so I can say thank you for this,
home cooked meals and a place to rest,
my troubled head when youre away,
I've passed the test, I've earned an A,
not just in school, but in life,
youll always be right by my side.
To help me show, hope to all,
that are lost and sick in this dying world.
I'll use the love you left behind,
I'll change their minds, I'll change their minds.

I hope, I hope you smile,
when you look down on me.
I hope you smile.
This can't, we won't know.
I hope that I make you proud.
This is not what it is, only baby scars.
We need your love like a boy needs his mother's side.
This is not what it is, only baby scars.
I need your love like a boy needs his mother's side.


4.Westbound & Down

Daddy said, Daddy said, go out and make me proud.
If only he could see the way you've turned out now.

Go ahead baby and say the words you want from me.
Believe cause' I'm the one that wrote this song.
If I could turn back time and read your mind,
Besides these dice and cards I'm just another game.

If you could live forever you'd still
Wanna be a one night stand.
You walk on cause I'm leaving.
Goodbye to you and everything.

Look at the mess and mistakes you've made.
Heroes, yeah, I will remain.
I won't be another notch on bedpost sheets.

You tried to test me and you failed.
'I'll stay the course, I'll stay the course,
I'll hold my head up high.'

Another misread lullaby.
'I won't be misread again, I won't be here waiting,
Goodbye to you, goodbye.'

You can walk on cause I'm leaving.
Goodbye to you and everything.
You can walk on cause I'm leaving.
Goodbye to you and everything.

We wrote the book.
You wrote the lies.
So take this forever.
We wrote the book.
You wrote the lies.
So take this forever.
Forth in writing, Oh my God.
Oh. my. God.

So press on now baby, you never seemed so fake.
Just give me something that's real again.


5.John Deux Trois

I said it once or twice,
I'm not coming down to show you the way to live with my hand.

Inner me, I know you are killing me from inside.
You can laugh but don't waste my time.
You pessimistic, you cannibal.

Don't believe me, cause I'm already dead.
Don't believe me, I'll take it to the bitter end.
I've been waiting to show you life abundantly.
So, I'll end this talk of who I really am and who I really ought
to be.

I won't let you fall back down to the ways that you wanted to
escape.
My love, take my hand, I'll show to you everything.
It's not who I am and who you want to.

Inner me, I know you are killing me from inside.
You can laugh but don't waste my time.
You pessimistic, you cannibal,

For the sake of failing you, my God still lives.
Roll with the pack my God who will make all wrongs right again?
Roll with the pack my son who will make wrongs right again


6.Those In Glass Houses

Now, Ready, Set, let's take this offense in our hands.
We won't be cast aside, you live your life just...
And you can have the whole wide world,
the best part was in our...
How can you say that you're me,
when its easy to see that your fake.
How can you say that you're me,
when its easy to see that your fake.
You expect me to fail from,
this is not a high fashion flask.
You can pay for school,
but you can't buy class.
You can have the whole wide world,
the best part was always in our hands.
You can have the whole wide world,
the best part was always in our hands.

You can have the whole wide world,
the best part was always in our hands.
You can have the whole wide world,
the best part was always in our hands.
Cast aside, this can't be stopped by pride.
Cast aside, we won't be stopped by pride.

We've been waiting to show you,
We've been waiting to take this back.
This world will be ours, we won't stop at nothing now.
This world will be ours, we won't stop at nothing.


7.Farewell To Shady Glade

You know that you were my collection,
An addiction out of style.
All these words you said to me,
You know they mean so much.
All these words you said to me,
You know they mean too much to me.
You were nothing but a style.
I wish I could believe that lie.

You were my collection,
An addiction out of style.
You were my collection,
An addiction out of style.

All these memories see right through you to me.
I keep losing sleep cause the words you failed to say.
Looking back at mistakes you were wrong.
Should have seen this coming all along.
No days I could take,
No months I could spend at your waste.
Oh, you'll never know.
Oh, you'll never know.

You were my collection,
An addiction out of style.

You have the crown my only beautiful
Cause tonight we dance on dead men's stones.
You have the crown my only beautiful
Cause tonight we dance on dead men's stones.

I don't believe that you're losing sleep, over,
I don't believe that you're losing sleep, over,
I don't believe that you're losing sleep.


8.The Ballad Of Tommy Clayton & The Rawdawg Millionaire

We'll bring you to your knees,
You can not see something you can not please.
We'll bring you to your knees,
You can not see something you can not please.

I met a girl with predictable ways.
Open doors, yeah she's here to stay.
Come clean, just open your mind.
Shut those legs girl it's closing time.

Oh faithful, I'm amazed to find you look that way.
Oh faithful, put away the pills come waste away with me.

You see these hospital walls are full
from the bodies of all the dead.
It's spreading around the room
just like, wants to be fed.

Bloody hands stop beating hearts.
Bloody hands stop beating hearts.

We'll bring you to your knees,
how can you be something you can not see?
We'll bring you to your knees,
how can you see something you can not please?

Black, block out the sun, blot out your eyes,
pray for the ones you love.
The sun, runs from the sky, beg for your life,
pray for the ones you love.

Block out the sun, we'll block out your eyes,
pray for daylight.

Your time has come, this is the get off,
I can't give up now.

Oh faithful, I'm amazed to find you look that way.
Oh faithful, put away the pills come waste away with me.
Oh faithful, I'm amazed to find you look that way.
Oh faithful, put away the pills come waste away with me.

It's all in your head.
If you see it, just close those blue eyes like you mean it.


9.Seven Thousand Miles For What

Since when did you become so cold,
and such a lifeless piece of work?
I can't take the sound of you anymore,
or the thought of you.

Don't worry, take what you need,
I left you and you're a dying breed.
But before we forget,
when the lights burn out,
don't come home crying to me.
I will surrender myself,
for the better health of someone who really cares.
Why would you throw it away so fast?
It's got to get better than this,
too hard for too long, I'm holding on.
Try to go, but it just don't feel right.
This light, your eyes, I'm easy.
I should've known better by now,
but you look so damn good.
Go get your black dress, baby,
and put your dancin' shoes on.
Go get your black dress, baby,
and put your dancin' shoes on.
I swear to God,
my intentions were gold.
I swear to God,
my intentions were gold.

Run away from your mistakes,
just like the ones you hid from me.
Why can't you see
that I was expecting this all along?
The road is long,
where's the light?
I'm tired of walking alone.
Alone, alone.
I hope you know,
I hope you know,
I left you long before you left me.
I hope you know,
I hope you know,
I left you long before you left me.
Time's up.


10.This One's For You

Friend of mine, I've tried a revolution.
Everyone's screaming, 'It's not fair, it's not fair.'

I'll be your Romeo, you play the Juliet.
The sun won't set, until you appear.
Cause I know you're the one my love, my love.

What light through this window breaks?
So bright, so bright.
My life just for one more day.
So bright, you're so bright.

Fall fast, the course of love never did run smooth.
I'll try to sleep on my own tonight.
We will meet in the moonlight.
Meet in the moonlight.

This is not pretend, don't play the end.
I know you're real and not just a book I read.
Soon I will show you how a heart can never fail, never change.
I'll never change.

If music be the food of love, play on.
