Silent criminals analyzed
Through psychic waving tears
Superstitious minds collide
As silence fills the hall

Silence moving proclamations
This silence proving lies,
Speechless cries, emotions dull
Shouting out across the hall

I didn't mean to let you down
I'm shouting out so ashamed
I didn't mean to run from you
I didn't mean to
Shouting out

Shouting weakness in your eyes
You're crawling on your knees
Roaming aimless through skies lost
As silence shakes the halls

Creeping past all illusions
Searching thoughts that hide
Silence brakes in weeping hands
Shouting out and in again

I didn't mean to let you down
I'm shouting out so ashamed
I didn't mean to run from you
I didn't mean to
Shouting out

La de da la de da da hum

She shines like a flower
In my head
Everybody,
Wants to pick her dead

She said she loved me
And lied to me
She was by the river
And lied to me

She shines like a flower
In my head
Everybody,
Wants her in their bed

She said she loved you
And lied to you
She was by the river
And lied to you

So eager

She said she loved me
And lied to me
She was by the river
And lied to me

So eager

She said she loved me
And lied to me
She was by the river
And lied to me

So eager

Melted candles on the window sill
Perfume in the haze
Ashtrays spread across the floor
On a normal day

We lay out across the bed
Just like we always did
And in this house
The devil laid his hand on our head
and made them spin

I want to be your man
If you think I cared
I want to be your man
Your man, lord

No more defenses
Like no more peace of mind
Keeping in these knives stabbing
Spilling out your blood to me

I want to be your man
If you think I cared
I want to be your man
Your man, lord

I want to be your man
If you think I cared
I want to be your man
Your man, lord

I would have sailed away
If I'd known that nothing would change
staring out my window sill
In my wasted prison cell

And I know what you want
And I know what you fear
As I cradle your loving
And watch you disappear

And I feel your heartbeat
Pounding in my head
I like to control you
Cause I can't control myself
Myself

Rain,
Come my way
Mold my head
Like a ball of clay
Softly wither into my grave
Never to see, the sun again

And I feel your heartbeat
Pounding in my head
I like to control you
Cause I can't control myself
Myself

All alone in a crowd by myself
So sorry,wish I could find a way
Back into your hole again
But I've become your enemy

And I feel your heartbeat
Pounding in my head
I like to control you
Cause I can't control myself
Myself

Hole

Endless hopes, well
That's too bad
Smile happy,
Enjoy my pain

Hoping I can find
What we never had
Never holding you
It makes me

100% is where it lies
Behind the tide
Inside the ocean
Inside your ocean

Frozen is the present past, oh
Made of stone, but breaks like glass, so
Take me now to where I want to go
Thoughts astray but who will know

(Chorus)

In a dream it seems
Just to hold my hand
Shaking the release
Stop me,
Stop me if you can

Endless hopes, well
That's too bad
Smile happy,
Enjoy my pain

100% is where it lies
Behind the tide
Inside the ocean
Inside your ocean

(Chorus)

Sometimes,
Things just seem to fall apart
When you least expect them to

Sometimes,
You want to pack up and leave behind
All of them and all their smiles

I don't know
What to think any more
Maybe things will get better
Maybe things will look brighter
Maybe, maybe

Sometimes,
People surprise you
And people surprise me

But I guess that's the price we pay
For wanting, so badly

I don't know
What to think any more
Maybe things will get better
Maybe things will look brighter
Maybe, maybe

I don't know
What to think any more
Maybe things will get better
Maybe things will look brighter
Maybe, maybe

Sometimes...

I know the answers from the words of
The prophet
I've seen the light through the fingers
Made of magic
I've seen an image of the future,
It's a vision and I know who you are

(Chorus)
Go away can't you see you're not real
Open your eye some place far away
I've seen the ocean and I've seen the sky
I've got my wings and I'm starting to fly

I met a poet tonight behind the masses
I sang a song about my many true
Addictions
I saw myself in a hole, down below
And I know who you are

(Chorus)
I'm alright though it's hard to feel
Open your eye some place far away
I've seen the ocean and I've seen the sky
I've got my wings and I'm starting to fly

Open your eyes
Look to the sky
Grab your wings
And start to fly

(Chorus)

I've lived through things I cannot say
Back then we dreamt of yesterday
It seemed as if the only way
And now we look for hope and pray

If I had a second chance
I'd make amends
Only to find myself
Losing in the end

It came up from the deepest sea
God gave it life and reason to be
His Shadow rose above the highest tree
And still his face we could not see

If I had a second chance
I'd make amends
Only to find myself
Losing in the end

I've lived through things I cannot say
Back then we dreamt of yesterday
It seemed as if the only way
And now we look for hope and pray

If I had a second chance
I'd make amends
Only to find myself
Losing in the end

I want to pick up the pieces, so that
There's less complication, so that
There's less conversation, and
Less aggravation

I want to go out alone, man, so that
There's less confrontation, and man,
There's less association, and
Less company, yeah

I was so frustrated, man, that
I was all confused, man, and that
I was disillusioned, and
sick of your friends

Run, don't walk my way
Don't look my way
Cause I don't care, oh, no
So why are you still here
Why don't you disappear
And spin out of my life, oh

Why do we have limitation, and man
Why do we have limitation, so that
We don't get very far, and so that
We don't climb very high

I can't handle the indecision, and
I can't watch no more television, and
I won't miss you when you're gone
Cause I know my life will go on

Run, don't walk my way
Don't look my way
Cause I don't care, oh, no
So why are you still here
Why don't you disappear
And spin out of my life, oh

What's in the eye
Can you tell me
Watching the time pass me by
There's so much locked up inside

Don't go too fast, my friend
Or you'll lose control

What's in the eye
That I cannot catch
Is it me I want to know
Why it's so hard to let go

Don't go too fast, my friend
Or you'll lose control

(Bridge)
Forfeit the game, stop the talk show.
Product the one, your intaught to know.
Forfeit the game, 'cause tomorrow
When its all done, you reap what you sow.

Verse 1:

You love the way, I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful
things you put me through
You take away, if I give in,
my life, my pride is broken

Chorus:

You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you've learnt)
You have to act like you're so much
(You live what you've learnt)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you've learnt)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learnt)

Verse 2:

You love the things, I'd say I'd do
The way I hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away, when I give in,
my life, my pride is broken

Rrepeat Chorus x1

Yo yo!
Forfeit the game, stop the talk show
Product the one, your intaught to know
Forfeit the game, 'cause tomorrow
When it's all done, you reap what you sow

[Woman]
[Intro]
I knew I was being threatened
Do you think it was worth holding out?
I mean I've heard some pretty ugly
things about those guys
Ugly stories

[X-ecutioners]
Watch them flee...watch them flee
Rap rap rap up
Watch them flee
Hip-Hop hits
And you do it like this

[Mike Shinoba]
[Verse 1]
It's going down
The rhythm projects 'round the next sound
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now
Detects the mesh of many elements compressed down
The melting pot of a super-futureesque style
The combination of vocal caress
With lungs the gasp for breath
From emotional stress
With special effects
And a distorted collage
Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage
It's going down
The logical progression on the timeline
The seperation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey
Now it's going down
A logical progression on the timeline
The seperation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey
Now it's going down

[X-ecutioners with Mike Shinoba]
[Chorus]
Put put...put it up
I said it goes like this
And you do it like this
It's going down
Put put...put it up
I said it goes goes like this
And you do it like this
It's going down

[Mike Shinoba]
[Verse 3]
Once again it is
Composed sentences
All together venomous
The four elements of natural force
Projected daily through the sound of the source
Everybody on board as we blend
The sword with the pen
The mightiest the weapons
Swinging right from the chin
To elevate of mental states
Long gone with the wind
To defend men from shoddy imitation pretends
It's going down
Stalence emulation readily
Trekking through the weaponry
Of the pure pedigree
Cleverly seeing through whatever is ahead of me
Whatever the weather be
We invent the steadily
It's going down sub-terrestrial high
I rhyme regiment that's calling the shots
Exectution of colloborative plots
Ready to bring the seperation of style to a stop

A logical progression on the timeline
The seperation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey
Now it's going down

[X-ecutioners with Mike Shinoba]
[Chorus]
Put put...put it up
I said it goes like this
And you do it like this
It's going down
Put put...put it up
I said it goes like this
And you do it like this
It's going down

[X-ecutioners]
X-men 'bout to blast off world wide
Yo it's a request only
X-men 'bout to blast off world wide
It's built from scratch
Album in stores soon
'Bout to blast off world wide
And you do it like this
Just like this

[X-ecutioners]
Put put...put it up
I said it goes like this
And you do it like this
It's going down
Put put...put it up
I said it goes like this
And you do it like this
It's going down

Caught up against the war again
Time to chill in the bar again
Never seize to amaze in minds
So I just sleep sleep sleep please don't
Wake me till the morning after [2x]

Cut my peace (?) by the flower again
Lick my wounds like a dove again
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel
That I see I see please let it be but don't
Wake me till the morning after [3x]

Oh I'm so tired there has got to be an end
to the pain I feel when I'm
awake and alive alive alive
alive and not dreamin'

Caught up against the war again
Time to chill in the bar again
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel
That I see I see please let it be but don't
Wake me till the morning after [3x]

Oh I'm so tired there has got to be an end

You fell away
What more can I say?
The feelings evolved
I won't let it out
I can't replace
Your screaming face
Feeling the sickness inside

Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
Will be fine
Then your body will be mine

So many words
Can't describe my face
This feeling's evolved
So soon to great bounds
I can't relate
to a happy state
Feeling the blood run inside

Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
Will be fine
Then your body will be mine

Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
Keep me down to watch you (?????)
Must you tempt me and provoke the ministry?
Keep on trying, I'm not done so easily
(I will not die)

Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
(I will not die)
Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
(I will not die)

Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
Will be fine
Then your body will be mine

Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
Will be fine
Then your body will be mine

I scream through the morning
I'm kicking the twilight as she comes
Time waits ever dawning
Spooning the thickness out and feeding our open mouths

The price you pay is always
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer

Time waits ever dawning
When you're
Following the animals around (around)
I scream through the morning
Feeding our open mouths and spooning the thickness out

The price you pay is always
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer

My eyes are weary now
My eyes (my eyes) are weary
My eyes are weary now
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer

Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Karma Killer, Karma Killer, Karma Killer
Will I ever miss you

water grey
through the windows
up the stairs
chilling rain
like an ocean
everywhere

don't want to reach for me do you
i mean nothing to you
the little things give you away
and now there will be no mistaking
the levees are breaking

all you've ever wanted
was someone to truly look up to you
and six feet / underwater
i do

hope decays
generations disappear
washed away
as a nation simply stares

all you've ever wanted
was someone to truly look up to you
and six feet / underwater
i do
all you've ever wanted
was someone to truly look up to you
and six feet / underground now
i do

telling me to go
but hands beg me to stay
your lips say that you love
your eyes say that you hate

there's truth in your lies
doubt in your faith
what you build you lay to waste
there's truth in your lies
doubt in your faith
all i've got's what you didn't take

so i / i wont be the one
be the one to leave this
in pieces
and you / you will be alone
alone with all your secrets
your regrets
don't lie

you promise me the sky
then toss me like a stone
you wrap me in your arms
and chill me to the bone

there's truth in your lies
and doubt in your faith
what you build you lay to waste
there's truth in your lies
and doubt in your faith
all i've got's what you didn't take

so i / i wont be the one
be the one to leave this
in pieces
and you / you will be alone
alone with all your secrets
your regrets

let me apologize to begin with
let me apologize for what i'm about to say
but trying to be genuine
was harder than it seemed
and somehow i got caught up in between

let me apologize to begin with
let me apologize for what i'm about to say
but trying to be someone else
was harder than it seemed
and somehow i got caught up in between

between my pride and my promise
between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
the things i want to say to you
get lost before they come
the only thing that's worse than one is none

let me apologize to begin with
let me apologize for what i'm about to say
but trying to regain your trust
was harder than it seemed
and somehow i got caught up in between

and i cannot explain to you
in anything i say or do or plan
fear is not afraid of you
but guilt's a language you can understand
i cannot explain to you
in anything i say or do
but hope the actions speak the words they can

for my pride and my promise
for my lies and how the truth gets in the way
the things i want to say to you
get lost before they come
the only thing that's worse than one is none

my insides all turned to ash / so slow
and blew away as i collapsed / so cold
a black wind took them away / from sight
and held the darkness over day / that night

and the clouds above move closer
looking so dissatisfied
but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

i used to be my own protection / but not now
cause my path had lost direction / somehow
a black wind took you away / from sight
and held the darkness over day / that night

and the clouds above move closer
looking so dissatisfied
and the ground below grew colder
as they put you down inside
but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

so now you're gone
and i was wrong
i never knew what it was like
to be alone
on a valentine's day

Альбом: Minutes to Midnight

are you lost / in your lies
do you tell yourself i don't realize
your campaign's a disguise
replaced freedom with fear /
you trade money for lives
i'm aware of what you've done

no / no more sorrow
i've paid for your mistakes
your / time is borrowed
your time has come to be replaced

i see pain / i see need
i see liars and thieves abuse power with greed
i had hope / i believed
but i'm beginning to think
that i've been deceived
you will pay for what you've done

thieves and hypocrites

no / no more sorrow
i've paid for your mistakes
your / time is borrowed
your time has come to be replaced
your time has come to be erased
