Don't You Fake It

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Don't You Fake It Lyrics
1.In Fate's Hands

I remember a year ago I was standing in the crowd
waiting for my chance to break through,
my chance to live again.

Now it seems I've found some friends
who finally understand what it takes
to make this dream come true,
we'll be here till the end.
Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
come dance with me and don't you fake it.
Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
get close to me and don't you fake it.

Shout and scream my friends,
connect with me and we'll pretend
this night will never end (wo oh)
this night will never end.
Just let go you'll see together we'll do anything
this night will never end (wo oh)
this night will never end.
Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
come dance with me and don't you fake it.
Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
get close to me and don't you fake it.
Oh, wish I could thank you all for what you have done
and all of the things that you have shared with me.
Oh, wish I could take you all too where I must go
wish I could take you all I'll take you with my heart.

'Dance, get on the floor,
shake, get on the floor,
break, get on the floor'
'Dance, get on the floor,
shake, get on the floor,
Shake it, break it, get off your feet
come dance with me and don't you fake it
Shake it, break it, get off your feet
get close to me and don't you fake it.

I'm reaching out here to show you
what we've been through
I think there's something we can share,
that's completely new
or maybe I'm just insane
Shake it break it get off your feet


2.Waiting

Feeling sorrow
for all the things you had to steal and borrow.
Bring back the days we had before tomorrow
relapse and then collapse into yourself once more.

Waiting for this life to change
seems like it's taking me forever
and I can't hold on. This life is breaking.
And in the day this life is going to change
seems like it's taking me forever.
And I can't hold on. This life is breaking.
And in the day...

But I can't feel.
The doctor tells me to relax and stand still
Prescribes me a new pill to quell my anger.
Wish I could make her pull herself up off the floor

Waiting for this life to change
seems like it's taking me forever
and I can't hold on. This life is breaking.
And in the day this life is going to change
seems like it's taking me forever.
And I can't hold on. This life is breaking.
And in the day.

Waiting for this life to change
seems like it's taking me forever
and I can't hold on. This life is breaking.
And in the day this life is going to change
seems like it's taking me forever.
And I can't hold on. This life is breaking.
And in the day.
Take time to contemplate who you are
and where you want to go.
Take time to contemplate who you are
and where you want to go.
Into the day


3.False Pretense

It's time to let it go...

The world's got a funny way of turning 'round on you
When a friend tries to stab you right in the face
Losing faith in everything I thought I hoped I knew
Don't sweat it, (it was) set on false pretense

Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
And it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
cu cu cu cuz ya know.....

It's Sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again

All along you know you thought you got the best of me
But you were wrong and I am laughing right in your face
I can not believe you claimed you were my family
Don't sweat it - it's set on false pretense
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
And it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
cu cu cu cuz ya know.....

It's Sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
guitar

It's time to let it go

I can't seem to understand it how
You turned out to be so cold
You tried but were caught red handed
Are you happy with your role?

It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke
It's Sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
So play the game until you run out
And play the game into my hand


4.Face Down

Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.

Cover up with make up in the mirror
tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
you cry alone and then he swears he loves you.
Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now
as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend,
one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down,
a new life she has found.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down.

I see the way you go and say your right again,
say your right again
heed my lecture

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now
as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend,
one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down a new life she has.

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
its coming round again.
One day she will tell you that she has had enough
its coming round again.
Do you feel like a man,
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now
as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend,
one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has.

Face down in the dirt she says,
this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..
Face down in the dirt she says,
this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..


5.Misery Loves Its Company

Listen close as we wait for a sound to go

It's true, we are
we are destined to fail
It's true, we are
we are destined to fail

There is a problem here with our society
The absence of my tears is my sobriety
I have a growing fear and you're only helping me
Am I the only one who realizes it's true?

Beat but I'm not broken
Guide me through with your hand,
Lead with your words spoken
Show me how to listen
You're persecuting me, showing hypocrisy
I have a remedy for your insecurity
It's all the same, sadly
Nobody works for free
Am I the only one who realizes it's true
Beat but I'm not broken
Guide me through with your hand,
lead with your words spoken
Show me how to listen

Let your light shine through me
Take this hate I can release
Help me make the blind see
Misery loves its company

When I dream, I seem to turn into dust,
into dust

Beat but I'm not broken
Guide me through with your hand,
Lead with your words spoken
Show me how to listen
Let your light shine through me
Take this hate I can release
Help me make the blind see
Misery loves its company
It's true, we are
we are destined to fail
It's true, we are
we are destined to fail


6.Cat And Mouse

Softly we tremble tonight,
picture perfect fading
smiles are all that's left in site,
I said I'd never leave you'll never change
I'm not satisfied with where I'm at in life.

Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
You said, you said that you would die for me...

We made plans to grow old,
believe me there was truth
in all those stories that I told.
Lost in a simple game 'n' cat and mouse
are we the same people as before this came to light?

Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
You said, you said that you would die for me...

You must live for me too'...
For me too...
yeah, yeah...
You said that you would die for me...

Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
You said, you said that you would die for me...

You said, you said that you would die for me...
You said, you said that you would die for me...
You said, you said that you would die for me...


7.Damn Regret

The moon is shining bright
The mood is feeling right
I'll kiss you on your neck
People will stare but we won't care
We're high above the ground
We're nowhere to be found
Empowered by adrenaline
Feel I've been born again
Again, I am repeating myself
And I know it is kind for you
To sit and pretend
Damn regret, I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me
'Cos I'm real fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you persuaded me to let you go?
I'm wishing you were here
My weakness is my fear
Alone I am myself
No reason, life for me to care
Distracted by the sound
I hear footsteps all around
Empowered by adrenaline
Feel I've been born again
Again, I am repeating myself
And I know it's kind for you
To sit and pretend
Damn regret, I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me
'Cos I'm real fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you persuaded me to let you go?
You're the only one I turn to
When I feel like no-one's there
And when I'm lonely in my darkest hour
You give me the power
To sit and pretend

Damn regret, I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me
'Cos I'm real fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you persuaded me to let you go?
Did you think I forget?
Did you think I surrender myself
to persuade you to let me go?
Did you think I forget?
Did you think I surrender myself
to persuade you to let me go?


8.Atrophy

Don't tell me this is your last chance to change
cause if you do,
then you would be telling a lie but

I warned you
what could happen if you should decide
to live your life from 9 to 5
and I mourn you
for the detail that is left unsaid
is a reminder of the time you bled
return to days when you knew you still felt alive

reveal the way you felt when
you could look inside

they sold you
everything you need to fix you up
and you feel good now but you can't wake up
they found a way to reassure you
that everything would be okay (screaming)
reach out today
now I emplore you to remember who you are
return to days when you knew
you still felt alive
reveal the way you felt when
you could look inside

so you felt it, but you don't know,
why you can't explain at all
why you felt it
cause you don't know, no you don't know

break the walls between building atrophy
causing all your problems to recede
break the walls between
causing all your pain
you'll never learn
return to days when you knew you still felt alive
reveal the way you felt when you could look inside

Take Back
The beat in your heart
Why Fight
When you can't be bought
Take Back
The beat in your heart
Why Fight
When you can't be bought
Take Back
The beat in your heart
Why Fight
When you can't be bought
Take Back
The beat in your heart
Why Fight
When you can't be bought


9.Seventeen Ain't So Sweet

well she never was the best
yeah at following the trends
stayed one step above the rest
and even though it seemed
like the world was crushing on her
didn't let it hold her down even hold her back
oh no

don't worry you'll show them
there's a fire in your eyes
and i hope youll let it burn
there's a scream in your voice
and i hope you will be heard
there's a fire in your eyes
and i hope you'll let it burn until you're heard
you're heard

seventeen is just a test
yeah and i would recommend
that you live with no regrets
and even if it seems
like the world was crushing on you
you shouldn't let it hold you down
shouldn't hold you back
oh no
oh no

don't worry you'll show them
there's a fire in your eyes
and i hope youll let it burn
there's a scream in your voice
and i hope you will be heard
there's a fire in your eyes
and i hope you'll let it burn until you're heard
you're heard

relax girl
turn down the lights
no one can see you shining
relax girl
it'll be alright
no one can stop you if you tried
point of rhythm is the fall await in time
to listen to the beating in your mind
and if you will seek then you shall find
woah oh

there's a fire in your eyes
and i hope you'll let it burn
there's a scream in your voice
and i hope you will be heard
there's a fire in your eyes
and i hope you'll let it burn until you're heard

and i hope you'll let it burn
there's a scream in your voice
and i hope you will be heard
there's a fire in your eyes
and i hope you'll let it burn until you're heard
you're heard


10.Justify

Once there was a time when we could learn
all the simple pleasantries a follower should yearn
now all that I can do is watch them burn
and wish that I could save them all, or just one

See the Fake, everyday shaking hands of men,
promising the end.
Hear Him Speak of all the things
that we need to hear, to adhere
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?

The visions that I've seen have left me torn
between the resurrection and the prophecy unborn
I think that I will document the fall
and say I hate to say it
but I told you all..
See the Fake, everyday shaking hands of men,
promising the end
Hear Him Speak of all the things
that we need to hear, to adhere.
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries,
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries,
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, to end?

Your side, choose wise
your side, watch the change in time,
when you whisper..
you still blame, is my message clearer?
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?

When you change your mind is it going to end?


11.Your Guardian Angel

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold
and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my,
my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven


12.Grim Goodbye

Oh my eyes
oh closing slowly

Don't you try to take me down,
don't you try to take me over,
won't you try to break me?

The complexities moving in,
and I feel that I do not have the strength,
tragedies plaguing me solemnly
It's affecting my will

But wait, now that I've found you,
situations from dark now change to gray
Disregarding my absence of memories,
it's perpetually blinding me of sanity,
and just when I'm giving in,
as I try to scale these walls
Jericho falls around me
and I feel that I've strayed too long

And darkness is fading in, and darkness is real

Oh my eyes
oh closing slowly
I try

Fate seems to recreate,
I just cannot escape,
Something holds me down and makes me
act a way I can't explain
Even now I can feel it coming over me choking me,
as I'm falling behind
You can say you know me,
but you have no clue what my dreams could show you

And darkness is fading in, and darkness is real

Oh my eyes
oh closing slowly
I try

I
Can't
Can't win
...Tell me what you see.

I feel something deep inside me,
I feel deep inside...me!
I feel something deep inside me
and I can't let this go, whoa, (can't let this go)
I feel something deep inside me
and I can't let this go, whoa,

Lie, as I try to steer clear,
and I try to stay sober
This is taking me over,
And my dreams complicate it...

I just cannot let this go
I tried so many times to tell you
I just I cannot let this go,
I just cannot win

I see you
I see you...you falling away
I see you...you
You... killing me softly
I see you...you falling away
I see you...you...you

Don't take what's in front of me,
open eyes can see I have everything
Tell you, don't take what's in front of me,
tell you, don't take what's in me

Lie, which one lied?
When I feel this come away,
Way-ooahh
that's why I try...lie

Whoaa..ohh..ohhh...
I see you coming my way
dreams may fall more everyday
But I see you looking my way

And I've tried just to separate dreams from reality
Try to satisfy this wanting,
Try to stay righteous, try to stay sober,
but then, I can't win

And I know you, and I know you, and I know you...

Lie!
