AUDIOSLAVE


"Cochise"


Well, I've been watching, while you've been coughing.
I've been drinking life, while you've been nauseous.
And so I drink to health, while you kill yourself.
And I've got just one thing that I can offer,


Go on and save yourself, and take it out on me.
Go on and save yourself, and take it out on me. Yeah.


I'm not a martyr, I'm not a prophet, and I won't preach to you, but here's a caution;
You better understand, that I won't harm your hand,
But if it helps you mend, then I won't stop it.


Go on and save yourself, and take it out on me.
Go on and save yourself, and take it out on me.
Go on and save yourself, and take it out on me.
Go on and save yourself, and take it out on me. Yeah.
Drown if you want, and I'll see you at the bottom,
Where you'll crawl on my skin and put the blame on me, so you don't feel a thing.
Go on and save yourself, and take it out on me.
Go on and save yourself, and take it out on me.
Go on and save yourself, and take it out on me.
Go on and save yourself, and take it out on me. Yeah. 






"Show Me How To Live"


And with the early dawn,
Moving right along, I couldn't buy an eye-full of sleep.
And in the aching night under satellites, I was not received.
Built with stolen parts, a telephone in my heart, someone get me a priest to put my mind to bed.
This ringing in my head, is this a cure or is this a disease?


Nail in my hand, from my creator.
You gave me life, now show me how to live.
Nail in my hand, from my creator.
You gave me life, now show me how to live.


And in the after birth, on the quiet earth, let the stains remind you, you thought you made a man.
You better think again, before my role defines you.


Nail in my hand, from my creator.
You gave me life, now show me how to live.
Nail in my hand, from my creator.
You gave me life, now show me how to live.
And in your waiting hands, I will land, and roll out of my skin.
And in your final hours I will stand, Ready to begin?
Ready to begin? Ready to begin? Ready to begin?


Nail in my hand, from my creator.
You gave me life, now show me how to live.
Show me how to live, Show me how to live,
Show me how to live, Show me how to live. 




"Gasoline"


House is haunted; I just want to go for a ride, out and on, before I set this room aright.
Left alone, forever, and for crimes unclear.
With my patience gone, someone take me far from here. Yeah.


Burning that gasoline, yeah. Burning that gasoline.


New day yawning, another day of solitaire.
House is honest, clearly more than I can bear.
Drag me off, before I set my world on fire.
Out and gone the sun will never set tonight. Yeah.


Burning that gasoline, yeah. Burning that gasoline.


No "What for's," Only a can of red.
It's this danger on it, I have found another way.


Burning that gasoline, yeah. Burning that gasoline.
Burning it all the way, burning it all the way. 






"What You Are"


And when you wanted me, I came to you.
And when you wanted someone else, I withdrew.
And when you asked for light, I set myself on fire.
And if I go far away I know, you'll find another slave.


now I'm free from what you want.
Now I'm free from what you need.
Now I'm free from what you are.


And when you wanted blood, I cut my veins.
And when you wanted love, I bled myself again.
Now that I've had my fill of you, I'll give you up forever.
And here I go, far; the way, I know you, you'll find another slave.


now I'm free from what you want.
Now I'm free from what you need.
Now I'm free from what you are. Hey.


Then a vision came to me, when you came along.
I gave you everything, but then you wanted more.


now I'm free from what you want.
Now I'm free from what you need.
Now I'm free from what you are. Hey.
now I'm free from what you want.
Now I'm free from what you need.
Now I'm free from what you are. 




On a cold wet afternoon,
In a room full of emptiness by a freeway,
I confess I was lost in the pages of a book full of death;
Reading how we'll die alone.
And if we're good we'll lay to rest, anywhere we want to go.


In your house I long to be;
Room by room patiently,
I'll wait for you there, like a stone.
I'll wait for you there, Alone.


And on my deathbed I will pray to the gods and thee angels,
Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven;
To a place I recall, I was there so long ago.
The sky was bruised, the wine was bled, and there you led me on.


In your house I long to be;
Room by room, patiently, 
I'll wait for you there, like a stone.
I'll wait for you there, alone. Alone.


And on I read, until the day was gone;
And I sat in regret, of all the things I've done;
For all that I've blessed, and all that I've wronged.
In dreams until my death, I will wonder on.


In your house I long to be;
Room by room, patiently, 
I'll wait for you there, like a stone.
Alone, Alone, A-L-O-N-E
I'll wait for you there, alone. Alone. 




"Set It Off"


He was starin' in, at the rock, Gathering the flock, and getting there with no directions.
And underneath the arch, it turned into a march;
And there he found the spark to, set this fucker off.


Set it off, set it off now children;
Set it awry.
Set it off, Set it off now children.
Alright, Set it off, set it off now children;
Set a fire.
Set it off, Set it off now children.


Suddenly a shot, Ripped into his heart, And he lay in need of some attention.
And there he played his card. Going into shock, the last thing that he said was, set this fucker off.


Set it off, set it off now children;
Set it awry.
Set it off, Set it off now children.
Alright, Set it off, set it off now children;
Set a fire.
Set it off, Set it off now children.
Alright, alright, alright. Alright, alright, alright.


Jesus at the back door, everything is all right; all we need is some direction.
Every time the wind blows, everything you don't know, Turns into a revelation.
And it all ads up inside your head,
Time is wasting.


Set it off, set it off now children;
Set it right.
Set it off, Set it off now children.
Alright, Set it off, set it off now children;
Set a fire.
Set it off, Set it off now children.
Alright, alright, alright. Alright, alright, alright. 






"Shadow Of The Sun"


Once upon a time, I was of the mind,
to lay your burden down, and leave you where you stood.
you believed I could, you'd seen it done before.
I could read your thoughts, and Tell you what you saw, and never say a word.
But now all that is gone, over with and done, never to return.


And I can tell you why People die alone.
I can tell you I'm a shadow on the sun.


Staring at the loss, Looking for a cause, and never really sure.
Nothing but a hole, to live without a soul, and nothing to be learned.


And I can tell you why People go insane, I can show you how you could do the same.
I can tell you why the end will never come.
I can tell you I'm a shadow on the sun.


Shapes of every size Move behind my eyes.
Doors inside my head Bolted from within.
Every drop of flame The Light's a candle in Memory, of the one who lived inside my skin.
And I can tell you why People go insane, I can show you how you could do the same.
I can tell you why the end will never come.
I can tell you I'm the shadow on the sun.
Shadow on the sun, Shadow on the sun, Shadow on the sun, Shadow on the sun, Shadow on the sun, Shadow on the sun, Shadow on the sun, Shadow on the sun. Sun, sun. 






"I Am The Highway"


Pearls and swine bereft of me.
Long and weary my road has been.
I was lost in the cities, alone in the hills.
No sorrow or pity for leaving, I feel.


I am not your rolling wheels, I am the highway.
I am not your carpet ride, I am the sky.


Friends and liars don't wait for me, 
'Cause I'll get on all by myself.
I put millions of miles under my heels;
And still too close to you I feel.


I am not your rolling wheels, I am the highway.
I am not your carpet, I am the sky.
I am not your blowing wind, I am the lightning.
I am not your autumn moon, I am the night… the night.


Yeah, I am not your rolling wheels, I am the highway.
I am not your carpet, I am the sky.
Well, I am not your blowing wind, I am the lightning.
I am not your autumn moon, I am the night... the night.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 






"Exploder"


I met a man locked away, for things he hadn't done.
Innocence on ball and chain. He'll never feel the sun Again on his face, or roses in his hands.
but when he smiled at me, I could understand.


If you're free you'll never see the walls.
If your head is clear you'll never free fall.
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong.
If your head is high you'll never fear at all.


There was a daughter of a man, who took his life too young;
She swore she'd never do the same, Then did just what he'd done.
And a boy who's gone insane, heard Voices in his head;
No one knows what they say, now his mother's dead.


If you're free you'll never see the walls.
If your head is clear you'll never free fall.
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong.
If your head is high you'll never fear at all.


There was a man who had a face, that looked a lot like me.
I saw him in the mirror and, I fought him in the street;
Then when he turned away, I shot him in the head.
Then I came to realize, I had killed myself.


If you're free you'll never see the walls.
If your head is clear you'll never free fall.
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong.
If your head is high you'll never fear... 






"Hypnotize"


Well if you set your mind upon it, I know that you can.
You've got everything you wanted. You've done everything you planned.
So let me make an offer, I'm only trying to help.
You can make your load Just a little lighter, All you got to do is share the wealth.


Oh no don't you keep your Good luck to yourself.
Oh no don't you keep your Good luck to yourself.


Well I know you got problems, I see it in your eyes.
But if you want to live to see the morning,
Give it up to your brother, or you'll get a surprise.


Oh no don't you keep your Good luck to yourself.
Oh no don't you keep your Good luck to yourself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.


Well, it's time to see, you got to give all you're gonna receive.
Hey, It's time to see, you got to give if you wanna believe.
you won't breathe.
Oh no don't you keep your Good luck to yourself.
Oh no don't you keep your Good luck to yourself.
Oh no don't you keep your Good luck to yourself.
Oh no don't you keep your Good luck to yourself.
Oh no don't you keep your Good luck to yourself. 






"Bring 'Em Back Alive"


I was on my way to the center of the sun,
When I lost my wings and I fell into a crowd.
And they carried me to a hole in the ground;
And they buried me, where no one could see and no one would be around.


I am a virus. I live in silence.


I was on my way to a city in the clouds,
When I lost my mind and I had to settle down.
Then I had a dream of an island in the sea where the lepers die;
Where no one survives and no one can hear the cries.


I am a virus. I live in silence.


Just like heathens thinking, on our feet we'll believe in God.
with one step, two steps, three steps toward the graveyard;
On the high road to remembering, it seems that we forgot.


I am a virus. I live in silence. 






"Light My Way"


In my hour of need
On a sea of grey
On my knees I pray to you
Help me find the dawn
Of the dying day


[Chorus]
Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way


A bullet is a man
From time to time he strays
I compare my life to this
To this I relate
And I'm willing
To listen to your answers
And I'm not ashamed
To tell you I need you today


[Chorus]


So when I'm lost
Or I'm tired and depraved
Or when my high buller mind
Goes astray won't you light my way


[Chorus] 






"Getaway Car"


The first time I saw you
You were chasing down
A cyclone
All alone in a field
With rail yards and clovers
I kept rolling on and never thought
You'd wind up chasing me


[Chorus]
Well settle down I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste
Settle up and I'll help you find
Something to drive
Before you drive me insane


You're tired of walking and you
Loathe the ground
Teh sidewalk will barely
Touch your feet and life moves
Too slowly to hold you down
With rining hands
You take it out on me


[Chorus]


So get yourself a car and drive it all night long
Get yourself a car and ride it on the wind 






"The Last Remaining Light"


Roll me on your frozen fields;
Break my bones to watch them heal.
Drowned me in your thirsty veins,
Where I'll watch and I'll wait, and pray for the rain.


Curl like smoke, and breathe again,
Down your throat, inside your ribs,
Through your spine, and every nerve,
Where I watch, and I wait, and yield to the hurt.


And if you don't believe the sun will rise, Stand alone and greet the coming night, in the last remaining light.


The seven moons, and the seven suns.
Heaven waits, for those who run down your winter, and underneath your waves,
Where you watch and wait, and pray for the day.


And if you don't believe the sun will rise, Stand alone and greet the coming night, in the last remaining light.
And if you don't believe The sun will rise, Stand alone and greet The coming night, In the last remaining light, light, light, light. 








OUT OF EXILE


"Your Time Has Come"


Now one fell asleep in the street and he never woke up
And now one died in pieces in his bed with a mouth full of bones
And one threatened me long ago, I saw him melt in the bright light of day
And one laid to rest in a field under starlings and crows


I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come
Your time has come


Now one took some bullets in the chest in a deal gone wrong
And one got a little too depressed and he went and jumped the gun
One got shot right in the face and he somehow survived
But he doesn't know my name or who I am and I'm not surprised


I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come


I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come


I've seen 50,000 names all engraved on a stone
Most of them met an early grave years before I was born.
All of them left brothers and sisters and mothers behind
Most of their family and friends are still alive and doing time.


I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
And I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come


I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
And I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come
Long before your time has come
Long before your time has come
And your time has come 






"Out Of Exile"


When I first came to this island
that I called by own name
I was happy in this fortress,
in my exile I remained
But the hours grew so empty
and the ocean sent her waves
In the figure of a woman
and she pulled me out to sea


[Chorus]
When you come down to take me home
send my soul away
When you come round you'll make me whole
send my soul away


On the altar of a sunrise
was a wedding in the waves
And inside her shown a young light
from her labor I was saved
Though I've traveled long in darkness
in her harvest I'm embraced


[Chorus]
When you come down to take me home
send my soul away
When you come round you'll make me whole
send my soul away


Now the spires and the gables
grow in orchards to the sky
And the blessings on my table
multiply and divide


[Chorus]
When you come down to take me home
send my soul away
Yeah when you come round you'll make me whole
send my soul away
Yeah when you come down to take me home
when you come round you'll make me whole
Yeah when you come round to take me home
Send my soul away
send my soul away
Send my soul away
send my soul away 






"Be Yourself"


Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
To finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave


To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do


Someone finds salvation in everyone
And another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united?
Healthy or insane?


To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do


And even when you've paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright


You may win or lose


But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do 






"Doesn't Remind Me"


I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything


[Chorus]
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget


I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like colorful clothing in the sun
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I ilke hammering nails and speaking in tongues
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything


[Chorus]
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need


Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won't stir up the past
So descretely
We won't look back


[Chorus]
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need


I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what's mine is ours
If it doesn't remind me of anything 






"Drown Me Slowly"


I've got a will this time don't care what you say
I've got a feeling this will all go away
It's in the wind this time it's in the southern sky
I can't walk on water yet won't even try


[Chorus]
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly


All that I took with me was a bad taste in my mouth
Went all around the world just couldn't spit it out
Just like ground zero was the surface of the sun
That's a sickness I can't fix it not all at once


[Chorus]
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly


Don't let them take you down
You'll leave a better world than you found
Don't let them take you down
You'll leave a better world than you found
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down


[Chorus]
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly


Drown me slowly
Drown me slowly
Drown me slowly 






"Heaven's Dead"


Anchor the night, open the sky
Hide in the hours before sunrise
Pray for me not, I won't lose sight
Of where I belong and where you lie


[Chorus]
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had


Shipwreck the sun, I'm on your side
An army of one, onward we'll ride
And whisper your songs, birds to the air
We'll bury all of our burdens there


[Chorus]
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had


Best time you had
For the best time you had
Heaven's dead when you get sad


[Chorus]
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time


I'll take it all, arrows or guns
Hundreds or more to save you from one
Save you from one
And Where I'll be
Heaven's dead when you get sad 






"The Worm"


Was a time early in life
When I hated everything
Born too young, top of my lungs
Sitting on the bottom rung
Took advice from the wrong shoulder
Took a lot of everything
I've decided to make it alright with my


[Chorus]
Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
I can do no wrong


Black and blue, suffering fools
By the age of seventeen
Low and high, just one more time
Felt like an eternity
Right or wrong, never too strong
Friends became my enemies
God forsaken, never too late with my


[Chorus]
Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
I can do no wrong


You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same


[Chorus]
Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
I can do no wrong 






"Man Or Animal"


You give me a heart attack
You look like the summertime
You call me an artifact
But I'll save that for another time
I could be rich or poor
I don't need anymore


Keep your love inside the kitchen
You can feed me anything
Leave the feathers on the chicken
Peel the leather from your skin
I can be young or old
Sweet or sad, hot or cold


[Chorus]
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obidient-
out of control


I will love you more than money
I will breathe you in the smoke
I will drink you in my honey
Sweet and golden down my throat
When you're right, when you're wrong
Head is near, eyes are gone
You can drown my appetite
I will sip your tears at night
You can tie me to a chair
Skin and bones, I don't care
I could be rich or poor
I don't need anymore


[Chorus]
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient-
out of control
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient-
out of control
out of control


You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that
You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that 






"Yesterday To Tomorrow"


Beauty is what the eyes behold
And you burn brighter than most
I chased you thru the midnight streets
To be where I could speak freely
I didn't care what tomorrow held
I felt the world turning only for us
Only bliss now for you and me
Rise up let life's kiss send us reeling
And unlike the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse
We have more than everything
More than man or machine
More than luck
More than fiction
Higher than any religion


And unlike the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse
We'll squeeze the blood out of life
And say goodnight to the silver of old
Even when wrong we're right
Far beyond the world of diamonds and gold
I've come to realize
Where happiness lies
I want you to know I know
And unlike the times before
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets no remorse 






"Dandelion"


Settle down now and sit with me
Let me tell you how this all came to be
A yellow flower with your pedals to the air
And flying on paper wings that brought you here
Summer rolls on in the lazy hours
An ether dream way
Of hummingbirds and clouds
Midnight swims in the cool back waves
And you in my arms as it rolls away


[Chorus]
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine


Born of restless night the moon as a pearl
Playing games down inside your soft warm world
Hear my voice I know that you can
You're the fire in my eyes
The sun as a man
Seasons come along and seasons go
And what they'll leave behind
I don't pretend to know
I'm afraid that all I have missed
Will loom very large when the darkness lifts


[Chorus]
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine


I will ride by your side
Wherever you go
I won't run I won't hide
Just letting you know


[Chorus]
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine 






"#1 Zero"


Listen now, let me speak
I will be the dog at your feet
And come along when you call
Be the little bird in your straw and sing you a song
I'll be there to take the fall
Though you tread upon me for no reason at all


[Chorus]
But just when you think you've left me blind
I will keep you in the corner of my eye


I will never leave your side
Though you call me your number one zero
your nevermind
I'll be your king, I'll be your pawn
I will builid a pedestal and put you upon it


[Chorus]
But just when you think you've left me blind
I'll be creeping right up behind
Cause if I need to
I will keep you in the corner of my eye
corner of my eye


Down on the street, over your night
Out of your sleep, out of your sight
if I need to, if I need to
Out of your mouth, in every word
Down in your ego one thing is sure
I will keep you, I will keep you


[Chorus]
But just when you think you've left me blind
I will be creeping right up behind
Cause baby if I need to
Lord, I will keep you in the corner of my eye
I will be the bird in your straw
But you won't get far
I will keep you in the corner of my eye 






"The Curse"


Help me I don't know what I'm doin
Help me before I fall to ruin
And if I'm blind, I will lead you on
Come follow me now, before our time is gone


[Chorus]
And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck and never your curse


Help me I don't know what I'm saying
Sometimes this tongue can be betraying
And if I'm wrong, is that such a crime?
And if you want, you can set my words to right


[Chorus]
And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck


And if your eyes forget to well
And if your lies forget to tell
And if our paths forget to cross
It doesn't mean you're lost


[Chorus]
So as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck


If you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck
Cause even at my worst
I will be your luck
never be your curse 








REVELATIONS


"Revelations"


You know what to do, you know what I did
Since you know everything just clue me in
I am such a wreck, I am such a mess
I know what I know, why don't you fill in the rest?
I will bring you down, I will make it bad
While you're feelin' proud, why don't you help me?


Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now
Your revelations
Cut me in, I don't wanna live without
Your revelations, revelations


You know what to say, you know what I said
You know what I dream sleeping in my bed
You hold all the keys, you know all the roads
Why don't you guide me in, if I'm such a lost soul?
I'm spinnin' 'round, I will make you ill
Since I'm so broken down, why don't you fix me?


Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now (I wouldn't know by now)
Your revelations
Cut me in, I don't wanna live without (Don't wanna live without)
Your revelations


I am haunted when I am sleeping
Try to give without receiving
It's in the applebite (It's in the applebite)
It's in the days and nights (It's in the days and nights)
In the afterlife we'll reap


Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now (I wouldn't know by now)
Your revelations
Cut me in, I don't wanna live without (Don't wanna live without)
Your revelations
Such a shame, such a shame that I wouldn't know by now
Cut me in, I don't wanna live without (Don't wanna live without)
Your revelations
Revelations 






"One And The Same"


Well they don't hate you, you know they love you
But they're gonna come kill you
They don't mean you any harm
It's just what they do
Could be your mother
Could be your father
Or your best friend in the world


But just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the same)
Just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the same)
Yeah, yeah, yeah


You wear a mask with a target
Keep your enemies closer
You fall in love from a great height, now the easy part's over
Choose your battles, not your soldiers
You're never sure of their colors


But just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the same)
Just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the same)
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!


Just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same
Just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the same)
Just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the same)
Just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (One and the same)
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey! 






"Sound Of A Gun"


In the here and the now I'll wait down among the young and the old
With the moon and the ground I play with my children in my home
This is for the daughters and sons of forgotten ones learning how to stand
This is for the innocent unknowns buried in the sand


All running from a sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun 'til you're weary
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun


From the crack in the blackness I'll wake, it's getting closer every night
In my city the playground is a battleground between the wrong and the right
I could run free as a child I was safe and wild, naked, and unarmed
Now I'm gone and safe in my home but some will never stop


Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun 'til they're weary
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun


The open mouth of the city swallowed up the town
On that same old concrete that I still walk down
And it seemed they put a shine on this place when I was young
Well maybe I just don't see it now


Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun 'til I'm weary
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun
Hey!


I'm running from the sound of a gun
I'm running from the sound of a gun
I'm running from the sound of a gun
I'm running from, running from the sound of a gun 






"Until We Fall"


I walk the streets where I regret, ah-ah-ah
I stood along and watched myself fall apart
And said the voices in my head, ah-ah-ah
Slipped through the chain link of a broken heart


And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers 'til we fall back down again, ah-ah-ah


But everything that sounded good, ah-ah-ah
I understand that I'll be misunderstood


And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers 'til we fall
Until we fall, until we fall back down again
Yeah, back down again


What do you feel before you think?
What do you see before you blink?
Who do you battle in your dreams?
Who strokes your feathers 'til you scream?


And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
And stroke your feathers 'til we fall
Until we fall, until we fall back down again
Yeah, back down again 






"Original Fire"


The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on


With a pen in one hand taking us and drugged on kerosene
'84 and 5 would find us something to believe
Right or wrong with dirty hands on wires
Singing songs in dischord choirs
Screaming in braille no temptress prize
Could ever yield anything so real


The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on


Golden soldiers born much older than they'll ever live to be
Diving into a sea of hands in a long forgotten city
Here the rain falls ever after
The swinging vines hang dead in rafters
Blood rush to your head induces laughter endlessly


The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and long gone
But the riot inside moves on


Can't explain that it was somethin' to see
Can't contain so somethin' ever real
Ever real
Hey!


Can't explain it was somethin' to see
Can't contain so somethin' ever real
Ever real


The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on 






"Broken City"


My city sleeps by the side of a freeway, the city scraps
And winter time she wore a yellow coat
Now there's nothin' on her back
If a building falls you wouldn't care to notice unless you were in it
Then no one cares about climbin' stairs, nothin' at the top no more


Outside trippin' in the broken city
Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack
Outside trippin' in the broken city
Outside kickin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo


Now the snow falls down like it's fallin' on an ocean
Dead and empty by the railroad tracks where they used to go and come
Now they don't come back
You can heal the rust, goin' up the throughways
Down the alleys where they stole this town from the frontier
I can see 'em tryin' to steal it back


Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack
Outside kickin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside trippin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo


Now the sun won't shine on this part of the map
Anymore
When it's cold outside I see it hide behind the smokestacks
No thin roses, no goldrush, no miner, no revolution they'd hire
And the shipyard is a graveyard, no one will be trying to find him


Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside kickin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack
Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside kickin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo (There's nothin' wrong with that)
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo do (Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo 






"Somedays"


Somedays, somedays, somedays just ain't so easy


Wake up, look around just before your feet hit the ground
Where they make the oil and street, is where you stand and where you sleep
Black and whites along the lights, plain clothes and Miranda Rights
At the right place but in the wrong life, somedays just ain't so easy


Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays) just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays), somedays (Somedays)
Just ain't so easy


It's not the fault of anyone as we revolve around the sun
We sleep beneath the same sky but we all see it through different eyes
So if you go or if you stay, standin' still or if you walk away
If you bend or if you break somedays just ain't so easy


Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays) just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays), somedays (Somedays)
Just ain't so easy, they just ain't so easy
Oh yeah


Nobody say it's so easy, yeah
I don't care for somedays


Someone may have done you right or done you wrong
Or kept it down from the day you were born
There's no need to apologize for the riot in your eyes
Somedays just ain't so easy
Hey! Hey! Hey!


Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays) just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays), somedays (Somedays)
Just ain't so easy 






"Shape Of Things To Come"


Well it's late in the hour and a few more grains of sand will fall.
On the colorful flowers grown upon the dust and moss.
Now I feel the worst is near,
I hold them close and count their years.
And pray a ray of light appears
To shine down on us here


Breakdown in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier.
And I say now when all is said and done:
It's not ours to break, the shape of things to come.


There's a crack in the clouds, but only for a moment now
Like an owl looking out, the blue sky spies the roads we will go down.
I wonder what they hold for us? I hold my family to my breast,
I feel the worst and hope the best will come to see us blessed.


Breakdown in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier.
And I say now when all is said and done:
It's not ours to break, the shape of things to come.
Hey! Hey!


Give me one more try in what I'll change.
I won't deny the thought is strange.
I've done my best and now will lay no blame myself.


Breakdown in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier.
And I say now when all is said and done:
It's not ours to break, the shape of things to come.


The shape of things to come.
The shape of things to come. 






"Jewel Of The Summertime"


When I was 18 I didn't know pain when the sun was high
Burnt face, shadow's erased and I knew I'd be alright
Left that behind me, uh-huh
Somethin' blinded me, uh-huh
You’re reminding me, uh-huh
Of a better space and time, miles away


The jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time


When I turned 21 I saw the sun pulling out of sight
All that I met were dark silhouette's stumbling in the night
Then we collided, uh-huh
And I finally, uh-huh
Got a light on me, uh-huh
Now I'm bathing in the bright ultraviolet rays


Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
Time, time


I left that behind me, uh-huh
But somethin' blinded me, uh-huh
You're reminding me, uh-huh
Of a better space and time, miles away


Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time 






"Wide Awake"


You can a look a hurricane right in the eye.
1200 people dead or left to die.
Follow the leaders, were it an eye for an eye we'd all be blind.
Deaf or murdered, and this I'm sure in this uncertain time.


So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today.
I found you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake.


Down on the road the world is floating by.
The poor and undefended left behind.
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil,
As if the whole world were blind, hey.


So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today.
I found you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake.


Come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I found you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake! 






"Nothing Left To Say But Goodbye"


Just like a rescue of a stray dog in the rain I was
Hungry when you found me
And you could tell by my tail and my rib cage what was
Once around me


I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around
But now I'm found and I won't run away


Bless your heart you gave me a home and a new start
And I will leave you never
Sleep at your feet and stay guard at your front door
I will keep things together


I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around
But now I'm found and I won't run away


I killed myself, threw away my mental health but nobody was blinking an eye
Backyard, basement, falling on the pavement
Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye
Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye


It's true I ran away before but be sure
I am no tail-chaser
I know a good thing when it throws me a bone
I'm your best friend forever


I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around
But now I'm found and I won't run away 




"Moth"


Thought I was different and it seems I'm just the same
As a game I put my hand over the flame
I thought I was smarter as I flew into the sun
But it turned out the way it does with everyone


Oh, oh
I don't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around your fire anymore


I love the heat I love the things that I forgot
I love the strings that tie me down and cut me off
I was a king, I was a moth with painted wings made of cloth
When did the flame burn so high and get so hot?


Oh, oh
I don't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around, fly around
Fly around


I don't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I won't fly around, fly around


I won't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around, fly around
Oh
Fly around, oh
