1. Call Out to the World
Iâve rushed a million miles, havenât moved at all
Just like the rats, I will keep on going
Iâve severed all my ties, set up for my fall
And just like that, Iâm back at square one
Take me, somewhere
Wake me from this nightmare
Hear me, call out to the world
Someone, somewhere
Save me if I fall, youâll be my savior
Lead the way; I call out to the world
All these countless bugs, crawling in my skin
Iâm losing hope, and Iâm, going nowhere
Iâve heard a million lies; my patienceâs wearing thin
Up to my throat, and Iâve, heard it all before
2. Never Again
Father, father, help me
I have sinned again
I just killed my last friend, can I go, can I go?
Father please relieve me
From this cross I bear
Couldnât help myself, canât we let it be?
No, never again
Never the same, my friend
I owe my lesson learned
Never again
Iâll never crash and burn again, again, again
Father, father hear me
I am on my knees
And our dirty secrets, I wonât tell, I wonât tell
I got the shortest straw here
Youâre really nowhere near
To each his own, Iâm better off alone
Youâll never, youâll never learn
Just burn your bridges
Iâll never, Iâll never fall again
3. Not the Only
Lying awake, alone in my bed
Voices are calling from inside my head
Youâd be surprised, if you knew what they really said
From my dark rooms, Iâve shut the world out
I hide from the word canât you see,
(itâs) too painful to talk about
Iâm not what I used to be
Some things we leave alone
And wish that weâd never known
And sometimes we go too far
To hide our scars
I am not the only,
The only one who runs
No, I am not the only one
And when itâs down
To wire we all run
Iâm not the only one
Break down the door;
Let in the light
Iâm not the same anymore,
I have to come clean you know
These loose ends just got to go
4. Tell Me
On this dead end road
You just sold yours souls
Buying in on what they told
High and mighty you
And your washed-out smiles
Tell me now, whoâs fooling who?
Wonât be afraid no more
Here you found what youâre looking for
Settle for less, round up the clowns,
Obliterate this mess
Say your prayers, little one
And tell me, yeah tell me
After all is said and done
Tell me now, tell me now
I see right through you
How you cry on cue
Thatâs just all youâve left to do
5. Not Like You
Itâs time to go,
We know thereâs something calling
Thereâs nothing left out here at all, noâ¦
Weâre going crazy, itâs no illusion
Weâve had enough, so here we are
Who walks a thin line?
And whoâs running on the edge?
This time we know itâs real
Weâre falling face down, right into the ground
We are not like you, we are not the same
Not like the fools who follow and live their lives tomorrow
No, we are not like you, we are not the same
And so the story ends, we will never be like you
Weâve had enough, there must be something better
We turn our backs and walk away
Weâre getting tired, of all you liars
Weâve heard it all too many times
6. Leave Me Alone
Name the sin, count me in
Remind me that weâre dreaming
Bleed me dry, then hang me high
And call me the fool that Iâve been
Hate this state that Iâm in
Cause weâre back
Weâre back to the same old story
Weâre back
So leave me alone, leave me alone again
Pour me out, run me down
And bore me till Iâm done for
Wash me up, say no more
Leave me whatâs left on the floor
7. Till I Come Alive
Woke up today, no hope for tomorrow
What I thought would wash away
Needless to say, Iâd kind of lost my way
So Iâm right here, waiting
No more, no more
Wonât stop trying till I know Iâm alive
No way, no way
No denying till I come alive
I turned on a dime,
And counted my blessings
So no more wasting time
Wiped out the slate,
And finally turned the page
And Iâm right here, waiting
No, thought I still believe in nothing
Never crawling, never falling
Iâll never be like you
8. Strong Enough
One bad seed in this filty gravel
One bad turn on this crocked road
Took me here, to this path I travel
Made me pay for what I owed
One black cloud on my silver lining
One bad turn that I canât through
Someone else when I look in the mirror
Someone new in the tainted glass
No, I canât stand it
Here I go, all alone
Itâs time I made it on my own
They tried to make me, tried to brake me
But Iâm strong enough
Tried to mold, shape and make me
On my back, like a bad tattoo
Here I am, still torn and ragged
Half a man, thatâll have to do
9. Me
One, just one more drink
One last cigarette and I am on my way
Oh last night, itâs all a haze
Here I pave my way through filth and broken glass
Something is not the same
Something is different from before
Guess that I, guess I died inside
When thereâs nothing more
When Iâd tried it all
Come undone, when the odds were close to none
When the momentâs there
The divide I beware
Then itâs me, only me
Torn, still torn and bruised
But Iâve had my run, and Iâll, Iâll see it through
All for you, my sweet farewell
Oh, I canât believe that I survived this hell
10. Pain and Pleasure
Hear you call for me
Itâs too late, canât you see?
Couldnât help, they spit on you, and called you fool
I believe it just slipped my mind
That I left you behind
I canât help, you died that day that I betrayed
On and onâ¦
Pain or pleasure
There is no distinction
You will see, someday
That pain is just one step away
Pain or pleasure
There is no distinction
Wish I could explain
That pleasure is equal to pain
I am over you
I keep telling myself
Couldnât help,
They made you plead,
Made you bleed
I am sorry for what they did
Wasnât me, god forbid
It hit me now, Iâm just like them,
Or worse somehow
Now youâre goneâ¦
11. Fools Parade (Outro)
