1. Wither On The Vine
Time chips away at the stone
What once was young now grows old
Cracks in the earth are like cracks in my bones
Soul's not what it was
I'm questioning what I've done
What once was cold now it seems so frozen
Wither…
Wither on the vine
Wither…
Now I'm next in line
Wither…
Wither on the vine
Wither…
Now I'm out of time
All things grow towards the end
Forget those meanings again…
Love it all it just seems so rotten
Love withers too give it time
It withers on that vine
What once was real now its seems so temporary
Wither…
Wither on the vine
Wither…
Now I'm next in line
Wither…
Wither on the vine
Wither…
Now I'm out of time
Savior where have you gone
I'm made of sand not of stone
Watch it all just fade away
Fading dust blows away
To cleans the earth of its past
Leave ourselves, now all that's left are memories…
Wither…
Wither on the vine
Wither…
Now I'm next in line
Wither…
Wither on the vine
Wither…
Now I'm out of time…
2. All I've Known
YAhhh…Yahhh (3)
Yahhh…yaoohh
Now my child remember
Where my will my heart may go
As this wonder fills me
What may be I'll never know...
Yahhh…Yahhh (3)
Yahhh…yaooh
Yeah… Yeah…
When I see my way back home
Once again I find that wall
Will I find my way now?
Will I find my way out?
When I see my way I seal my fate I know…
And when I seal my fate I feel that sting I've known... Yea-yeah
Why do I do this to myself?
Yeah… When I see my way back
(When I see…)
All I've known I know is there
(All I've known…)
When I see my way I fall inside this pain I found… Yeah …
When I see my way yeah
(When I see…)
All I've known I know is there
(All I've known…)
When I see my way I fall inside this pain unbound… yeah
Yahhh…Yahhh (3)
Yahhh…yaoohhh
3. Rust & Jade
Sometimes you just wanna give up...(DONT GIVE UP!)
Sometimes you just wanna give in…(DON'T GIVE IN!)
Sometimes you just wanna let go...(NEVER LET GO!)
But this is where you make your fucken stand...(ALWAYS MAKE YOUR STAND!)
This is where you pick yourself up...(JUST PICK YOURSELF UP!)
This is where you dust yourself off...(AND DUST YOURSELF OFF!)
This is where you find who you are...(AHHH!)
It seems that times have changed...
The days have rearranged...
When one good thing goes wrong
It seems the rest may follow.
It's weighing on my mind...
How could I loose this time...
I guess in time things fade...
They tend to rust and jade.
(Chorus)
How can it be like this...
My life I'll surely miss...
I knew that I'd feel this way...
Just wish that you'd go away.
The days they don't seem real...
Can't hide this pain I feel...
It seems they've had there way...
Can't let them see me wallow.
Can't fight the memories...
In life we pay our deeds...
And as you walk away...
There's nothing I can say.
(Chorus)
How can it be like this...
My life I'll surely miss...
I knew that I'd feel this way...
Just wish that you'd go away.
SOLO
They say what doesn't kill you...
They say it makes you stronger...
I say what doesn't kill you...
I say it beats you longer.
It seems I find an ending...
An upside down beginning...
And with the new day pending...
A story never ending.
(Chorus)
How can it be like this...
My life I'll surely miss...
I knew that I'd feel this way...
Just wish that you'd go away.
How can it be like this...
My life I'll surely miss...
I knew that I'd feel this way...
Just wish that you'd go away.
4. Nevermore
Look around
And tell me what you see
Settle down
AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SEEK
I never felt like this before
I never should have shut that door
Why must I feel this way?
Bleed my soul nevermore…
Nevermore (3)
Look inside
And tell me what you feel
Chances shine
PLEASE TELL ME IS THIS TRULY REAL?
(MAKE IT REAL !)
I never lost like this before
I never meant to lock that door
Why must it be this way?
Bleed my soul nevermore…
Nevermore (3)
I can't deny
The reasons why I feel this way
It's in your eyes
SO SAD TO SEE MY WEAK THIS WAY
(I'M NOT WEAK !)
I never died like this before
I never shoulda locked that door
Why must it end this way?
Bleed my soul nevermore …
Nevermore…
(LET IT GO!)
Nevermore.. .
(WATCH IT DIE !)
Nevermore ..
(LEAVE IT LAY!)
Nevermore…
(FUCK'N BITCH!)
You lied, you lied, you lied...
5. Misery's Child
Never …
No never
It's always forever
The fire
The liar
I'm misery's child
The taker
The breaker
The misery maker
The darker
The crueler
I'm misery's child
Lo … how I wait how bleed for you
Lo … in this phase on my knees what to do
Lo … how I hate how I seethe over you
Lost in this place forever … times two
The needer
The bleeder
The agoney breeder
The blinder
Reminder …
I'm misery's child
The master
The caster
The heartache I'm after
The joker
The choker
I'm misery's child
Lo … how I wait how bleed for you
Lo … in this phase on my knees what to do
Lo … how I hate how I seethe over you
Lost in this place forever … times two
Never …
No never
It's always forever
The fire
The liar
I'm misery's child
The taker
The breaker
The misery maker
The darker
The crueler
I'm misery's child
I'm misery's child!
I'm misery's child!
I'm misery's child!
6. Shine?
Why won't it shine?
Obsessing about you is all that I know
Locked in your cage and you wont let me go
Losing myself now I'm fading away
You'll know my name when I'm gone…
And still it won't shine
Buried by heartache, I'm living in shame
Living without you, it drives me insane
Can't be myself, without you by my side
YOU'LL KNOW MY NAME WHEN I'M GONE…
Heartache divine
I can't understand why you treat me this way
Secrets surround you I live in dismay
In orbit around you, is all I can be
You'll know my name when I'm gone…
Play with my mind
There's something about you that I just can't find
Deep down inside, I know I'm to blame
Each time I've fallen, I've fallen the same
YOU'LL KNOW MY NAME WHEN I'M GONE…
Shine… No never… shine …
you never…shine…no never…
shine… you'll never…shine!
(I hate you, I love you, I loath you, Why won't it shine?)
Why won't it shine?
Still I keep hoping that you might hold me
Just like the others you might help me be
Sucker for heartbreak, that's swallowing me
YOU'LL KNOW MY NAME WHEN I'M GONE…
WHEN I'M GONE… WHEN I'M GONE…
WHEN I'M GONE…
7. The Days Went South
The days went south, oh cant you see…
How loss brings on reality
A broken wish, still broken bare
Suffer through, oh sweet despair
Live thy own, and face thy pain
Cast the stone and face the shame
A kneeling man, his soul worn ill
He stands his ground at bottom hill
The days went south, oh cant you see…
How this world has corrupted me
It left me cold and bled me dry
It left me here to lie and die
As all burns all and all burns me
An act of hateful misery
The walls cry out and scream his name
Help me lord…I'm not to blame!
Tell me what do we do?
Hear the hero's screaming
Tell me where do we go?
When the days go south now
Tell me how can this be?
See the pillars burning down…
Tell me what do we do? …
Tell me what do we do?
Hear the hero's screaming
Tell me where do we go?
When the days go south now
Tell me why must this be?
See the pillars falling down…
Tell me what do we do?
When days go south…
Below ground zero…
The days went south…
Below ground zero!
WHAT DO WE DO UPON THIS HILL OF PAIN?
WHAT DO WE DO UPON THIS HILL OF SHAME?
8. With Passing Time
These wars I fear I've fought before
It seems that times will change no more for me…not for me…
I see the storm has come once more
Aint nothing I aint never seen before … well before…
Yet still I find with passing time
The cuts skin deep have pushed beyond the bone … beyond the bone …
What once was strong it still may last … as time does turn a shadow is cast on me … LET ME BE!
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, Lord I'm fading away
(With passing time…)
The hours pass and ravage all … Yet I refuse to bend n' fall, I won't fall,
I just cant fall…
Yes once I stood above it all, today it seems I just can't stand as tall… no not as tall…
My body wanes, this soldier sighs, I feel I'm holding up the sky again…OVER ME !
Fading, I'm fading away
(With passing time…)
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, I'm fading away
(I've passed my time)
Fading, Lord I'm fading away
(With passing time…)
I know that life won't last with all
Yet I can't seem to let it go today… no not today…
Cuz in my head a memory, a vision of what used to be for me … that I can't see…
There's so much left unsaid, undone …
Don't let there be a setting sun today … NO NOT TODAY !
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, Lord I'm fading away
(With passing time…)
9. Alone
Alone here waiting
With these suffering beaten brains
With no escape
You left me worse than you found me
How could this be…?
You went, you left, you've gone away
But now that it's over…
You said you hate but never told me why
Look at me a shell of a man
Look at you how tall you stand
Watch my pain with laughing eyes
All alone, alone I stand…
These bitter pills
That I've swallowed again and again and again
I'm reaching out…
I'm reaching out to denying hands
This lifeless prison
I've died twice, so why am I breathing?
Just make it over
I lost the plan and forgot the reason why…
Look at me a shell of a man
Look at you how tall you stand
Watch my pain with laughing eyes
All alone, alone I stand…
ALL ALONE, ALL ALONE, ALL ALONE
I'M ALONE…
Look at me a shell of a man
Look at you how tall you stand
Watch my pain with laughing eyes
All alone, alone I stand…
