"False Pretense"

Oh, it's time to let it go

The world's got a funny way of turning 'round on you
When a friend tries to stab you right in the face
Losing faith in everything I thought I hoped I knew
Don't sweat it, {it was} set on false pretense

Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
And it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
Cu-cu-cu-cuz you know...

It's sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again

All along you know you thought you got the best of me
{But} you were wrong and I'm laughing right in your face
I cannot believe you claimed you were my family
Don't sweat it - it's set on false pretense

Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
And it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
Cu-cu-cu-cuz you know...

It's sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again

Oh, it's time to let it go

I can't seem to understand it how you turned out to be so cold
You tried but were caught red handed, are you happy with your role?
It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke...

It's sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again

So play the game until you run out
And play the game into my hand

"We all want to die like movie stars" you said as you jumped from the height of our cutting room floor.
While above us glowing, exploding, our dreams burst forth in light in death.
Hold me and tell me,
"We'll burn like stars. We'll burn as we fall. Watch as the city lights DANCE FOR US!"

The Surviver By My Band NO VACANCY

Life was looking good
Until some years ago
hatred seemed to go
all through the neighbourhood

Life was torn apart through
myself, times seemed so wrong
I was ganged up on
by people I barely knew

I just lost my mind
for years and years I cried
I lived as though I died
but they just watched and sighed
Bruised I still find now
Can't belive I survived somehow

Locked up in a room
where I can barely breathe
must find someone I need
but they won't be here soon

And I just lost my mind
for years and years I cried
I lived as though I died
but they just watched and sighed
bruises I still find now
Can't belive I survived somehow

All those who could help me
just turned their backs, ignored me
not knowing that I could be
drowing in my tears
and my fears

I could not tell anyone
if I just get ignored
at the wrong time of day
to be around
just go away

And I lost my mind
for years and years I cried
I lived as though I died
but they just watched and sighed
bruises I still find now
can't belive I survived somehow



Face Down Bye Red Jumsuit Apratice

Hey girl, you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down

Cover up with make-up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now
When she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend
One day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down
A new life she has found

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down

I see the way you go and say you're right again
Say you're right again
Heed my lecture

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now
When she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend
One day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down
A new life she has found

Face down in the dirt, she said
This doesn't hurt, she said
I finally had enough

Face down in the dirt, she said
This doesn't hurt, she said
I finally had enough

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
It's coming round again

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now when she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend
One day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down
A new life she has found

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now when she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend
One day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down
A new life she has found

Face down in the dirt, she said
This doesn't hurt, she said
I finally had enough

DAMNIT

"Roses For The Dead"

Just to say we're sorry,
For the black eyes and bleeding lips.
And it's hard to forget
How many lies we've told.

Or how old we'd grow,
Before I said goodbye.
So let's scrape our knees on the playground.

It's not your fault,
You feel okay.
It's too late in the day.
It's not your fault,
You feel betrayed.
You can't come out to play.

I never listened to a word you never said.
I never listened to a word you never said.

Wasting the hours now,
We're all suckers for tragedies.
And start this over again,
And you bring us to our knees.

As sunrise comes,
And the story will sell,
A few hundred papers,
So we'll follow you up.

It's not your fault,
You feel okay.
It's too late in the day.
It's not your fault,
You feel betrayed.
You can't come out to play.

I never listened to a word you never said.
I never listened to a word you never said.

So raise your hands up high,
And let this rain pour on.
So raise your hands up high,
And wash us away.

Like innocence and childbirth,
You look just like your mother
And you look just like your father.
Forgive him our father,
Your son is smiling,
So lay roses around you.

BMTH - Pray for Plagues

She starts her new diet, of liquor and d**k,
Just like Hollywood but laced in sick.
The sun goes down and so does she.
Sold out the love that she had left with a cut of the throat.
Drinks all round on her before she strolls to the moat.
The sun goes down and so does she.

Count your ******** your blessings,
Because I'm counting every lie.
Counting every lie.

Christ, I'm asking you for just one thing
I'm asking you for just one thing
Eradicate, this disease.

Close your eyes.
Pray for plagues.
Oh Lord cleanse this earth
And bring upon our doomsday.
Close your eyes.
Pray for plagues.
Cleanse this earth
And bring doomsday.

She starts her new diet, of liquor and d**k,
Just like Hollywood but laced in sick.
The sun goes down and so does she.

So clap your hands to the sound
Of everyone first born dying now.
Watch the rivers flow with blood
Death with stand were life once stood

Close your eyes.
Pray for plagues.
Cleanse this earth
Bring our doomsday.

Skyclad - I Dubious.

I am the king of all that I survey -

beware my son it could be yours one day.

Heir transparent to a dynasty -

dog - emperor of woe and misery.

It sent me mad but now it makes me furious

I'm shadowed by a doubt - I dubious.

Too many handshakes -

not enough sincerity.

Promises of glass break -

spilling poisoned treachery.

I'm a founding member of the Pessimist Society,

I talk to my reflection 'cause I trust it not to lie to me.

Jesus loved Judas - Judas kissed Jesus.

Caesar loved Brutus - Brutus killed Caesar.

I am the king of all that I survey -

beware my son it could be yours one day.

Heir transparent to a dynasty -

dog - emperor of woe and misery.

It sent me mad but now it makes me furious

I'm shadowed by a doubt - I dubious.

Playing noughts and zeros -

on my Boolean table.

We're 'warts and all' heroes

of this true - life fable.

I'm the entertainer at the Bankrupt Club reunion,

if there's a church of failure - I'll kneel and take communion.

Wed to Delilah - shorn in my sleep,

sentenced by Pilate - and nailed up to weep.

I am the king of all that I survey -

beware my son it could be yours one day.

Heir transparent to a dynasty -

dog - emperor of woe and misery.

It sent me mad but now it makes me furious

I'm shadowed by a doubt - I dubious.
