Danger Line
My sixteen, locked and loaded
All fear has been aborted
You say the words and my weapon is drawn
This one could be my last time
Some people call it war crime
I may be staring down a lethal sight
(To die)
Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line
I do this for my family
My daughter loves her daddy
Too many talk down on things they don't know
With colors never faded
Reckless and unabated
They may take me but never take us all
(I'll crawl)
Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line
I know what you're thinking
I've been there before
So think of the times, the time we spent laughing away
So think of the times at home
(Life without a care)
Now I find myself in my own blood
(Never thought I'd lay in my own blood)
The damage done is far beyond repair
I never put my faith in up above
(Never had much faith in up above)
But now, I'm hoping someone's there
I never meant to leave this world alone
I never meant to hurt the ones who cared
And all this time I thought we'd just grow old
You know, no one said it's fair
Tell my baby girl that "It's alright"
I've sung my last song today
Remind the lord to leave his light on for me
I'm free
fiction
Now I think I understand,
How this world can overcome a man.
Like a friend we saw it through,
In the end I gave my life for you.
Gave you all I had to give,
Found a place for me to rest my head.
While I may be hard to find,
Heard there's peace just on the other side.
Not that I could,
Or that I would,
Let it burn,
Under my skin.
Let it burn!
Left this life to set me free,
Took a piece of you inside of me.
All this hurt can finally fade,
Promise me you'll never feel afraid.
Not that I could,
Or that I would,
Let it burn,
Under my skin.
Let it burn!
I hope it's worth it,
Here on the highway, yeah.
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you.
So tell everybody
The ones who walk beside me, yeah.
I hope you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight.
I hope it's worth it,
What's left behind me, yeah.
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you.
So tell everybody,
The ones who walk beside me, yeah.
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight.Natural Born Killer
One snap for the dying
One click to end the day
Another story with a mangled scene
It couldn't happen any other way
You wanna talk about it?
I'm begging you to walk in my shoes anytime
Watch the clock 'til you unwind
You wanna cry about it,
It's making me consider that I lost my mind.
The way I see you must be blind
So this is the world you left behind
This is the guilt that consumes you
So die alone
This is the one thing that I won't do
So say your prayers
'Cause I ain't leaving here without you
Can't bribe me with money
Can't shower me with shame
Another killer from a broken home
Until you covered me with manic fame.
You wanna know about it,
But I'm a be fuckin' with you every time.
Story broke and you're behind
And when you ask about it,
You can rest assured I'll give you my best side
Seems we all have friends to find
So this is the hate I've been born to
Full are the tales of the untrue
So die alone
This is the one thing that I won't do
So say your prayers
'Cause I ain't leaving here without you
And I'm waiting
Waiting for the days to slowly pass me by
(and all the promises I'll find)
No hesitating,
You pull the trigger and your story's left behind.
(I know you wanna see me fry)
Like my soul you won't survive.
So die alone
This is the one thing that I won't do
So say your prayers
'Cause I ain't leaving here without you
To die unknown
Would crush the fish lens we all see through
To kill the glare
Expose the ugliness we hold true
save me
Skull!
(They all know. They all know.)
Sorry, did I wake your dream?
Some questions run to deep
We only, only wake up when we sleep
Led by the lunar light, trouble's all we'd find
Lost our way tonight
Is it something we said?
Is it something we said to them?
Is it something we said?!
(Save me)
I'm trapped in a vile world
(Save me)
Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
(Save me)
I'm losing my only dream
(Save me)
I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know
(They all know. They all know.)
Ever since the day you left my fate's been set unknown
How many years to walk this path alone?
So much to see tonight, so why'd you close your eyes?
Why can't I shut mine?
Is it something we did?
Is it something we did to them?
Is it something we did?!
(Save me)
I'm trapped in a vile world
(Save me)
Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
(Save me)
I'm losing my only dream
(Save me)
I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know,
If you hear me, let me know
Help me find my way
I said help me find my way
No pulse inside of me
Stone cold lips and heresy
All lies and to a degree
Losing who I want to be
You'll find out right now
He may be out of his mind,
But some day you will find
That sanity's left us all blind
and dragged us all behind
A moment seen through those eyes,
Crystal blue disguise
They say that all beauty must die,
I say it just moves on
If you'd only open your mind
Then some day you will find
Insanity left us behind
and walked right through the door
I can see the pictures clear as yesterday
Pictures all my own
I can hear the voices begging you to stay
But know you're not alone
(Save me)
I'm trapped in a vile world
(Save me)
Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
(Save me)
I'm losing my only dream
(Save me)
I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know,
If you hear me, let me know
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die
Tonight we all die young!

god hates us
TOTAL NIGHTMARE!
TOTAL NIGHTMARE!
You wanna hear my side?
You need to drown to know.
With all the times it hurt me to fuck you,
I built a wall with your blood to show!
GOD SAVE US!
GOD SAVE US ALL!
GOD HATES US!
GOD HATES US ALL!
TOTAL NIGHTMARE!
TOTAL NIGHTMARE!
Nothing to heal.
No one to break.
Pills had a role
Now there's nothing to take.
Nothing to trust.
No one to fake.
You'll find out sooner
That it's best if we just know our place
My infiltrated mind.
My lacerated soul.
It took me years, create me, control you.
I left myself for an idea I stole
GOD SAVE US!
GOD SAVE US ALL!
GOD HATES US!
GOD HATES US ALL!
TOTAL NIGHTMARE!
TOTAL NIGHTMARE!
LIAR, RAPE, KILL
LOVE, HATE, FEAR
You better take your time
(LIAR, RAPE, KILL)
You better take it slow
Cause when you seek the one
(LOVE, HATE, FEAR)
There's nothing left to show.
TOTAL NIGHTMARE!
TOTAL NIGHTMARE!
TOTAL NIGHTMARE!
TOTAL NIGHTMARE!
Flash Of The Blade
As a young boy chasing Dragons
with your wooden sword so mighty,
You're St. George or you're David and you always
killed the beast
Times change very quickly
And you had to grow up early
A house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet
You'll die as you lived
In a flash of the blade
In corner forgotten away
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
One man, in his Honour.
The smell of resined leather
The sticky iron mask
As you cut and thrust and parried at the
fencing master's call
He taught you all he ever knew
To fear no mortal man
And now you'll reach your vengeance in the
Screams of evil man.
You'll die as you lived
In a flash of the blade
In corner forgotten away
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
One man, in his Honour.
You'll die as you lived
In a flash of the blade
In corner forgotten away
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
One man, in his Honour.
