Ain't Nothing Free
02:56

Maybe it's all been said
its all been done
its all been fought
its all been won
The fightings over when you're gone and nothing's free
It might be a carousel
a ride from hell
a waste of time
and out of line
It's empathy, the great divide, and nothing's free
So If you're out of time
the bottom line
is all that matters
when you die
you leave it all
it's left behind and nothing's free
How bout you give it away?

All Forgotten Children

Go ahead and leave
You know that's what you need
Stumble down the stairs
It hurts and I don't care enough to
Clean you out or take advantage
I've been looking forward to this time
Alone
All Forgotten Children
Easy to deceive
Land of make believe
Crawling on all fours
Through an open door
We're here to
Clean you out and take advantage
You're only good for what you can provide
Divide
All Forgotten Children

BAGDAD

Don't think I didn't hear what you said
muttered under your breath
I know what you mean
cause i've seen it all before and its hard to sound clean
but you don't know
how it feels to be part of the scene
no you don't understand
How it feels to be me
YOU CANT SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT
I know what you thought in your head
cause you gave it away with your face
and the way that you move
really fast when you're standing in place
but you can't and you won't
ever know how it feels to be here
in the scene on your knees
it don't matter to me cause...
YOU CANT SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT

Elegant Elephant

I see you standing there
with your false alarm and your gorgeous bag
I see you standing there
with your five alarm fire in your idle stare
Ohh wait... I know
You're a collective
Collected and letting go
I heard you live out there
a mile away from anyone who used to care
But you're so debonair
holding on to anything you can insnare
Ohh wait... I know
You're a collective
Collected and letting go
I heard your luck ran out
and right before the finish you came around
So what are you gonna do now?
There's nothing left for you to spend your life complaining about
Ohh wait... I know
You're a collective
Collected and letting go
of its own

Maintain
Tops in your field
My hands are off the wheel
It really "don't matter" to me
Blame train
Rolling downhill
I wash my hands of every meal
Never did satisfy me
Take this and Quiet down
Take this and simmer down
So alien
So alien
So far we've come
So alien from this feeling
Breakdown
Bloodletting tribe
Recycled alibi
Make sure you don't say anything
Faint praise
Swimming upstream
Bathing in your entropy
Covering skin you can feel
Take this and Quiet down
Take this and simmer down
So alien
So alien
So far we've come
So alien from this feeling
Take this and steal the crown
You'll wear the crown and simmer down

The Painted Clown
02:45
|

I want to burn it down
I want to let it down
High on the painted cloud
I wanna build a house
I wanna get along
I don't wanna get it wrong
I wanna build a house
I don't wanna let it down
I wanna be enough
I wanna feel loved
I wanna have it all
I don't want to hear at all
I don't want to give it up
I will never have enough
I don't want to let you down
I am the painted clown
I don't want to "have some fun"
I want to get along
I don't want to tell a lie
I wanna give I wanna try
I don't want to get it wrong
I will never have a song
I want to build a house
But I am the painted clown

Even If

I forgot his name
and he is capable of violence
We could hunt all night
staring at the moon
unblinking
I'm thinking
I think I had a friend
but would i know if he was guilty...
he's guilty
We shatter glass worth breaking
Set fire to our best impressions
Why should we ask while taking?
Set fire to our best intentions
We shatter glass worth breaking
Even if it hurts
Even if it cuts too deep
I remember things...
coloring my old perspective
Half of what I say Is more than what I mean
Reflective
Reflexive
I think I had a name
but I don't know what I've been saying
I'm praying
We shatter glass worth breaking
Set fire to our best impressions
Why should we ask while taking?
Set fire to our best intentions
We shatter glass worth breaking
Even if it hurts
Even if it cuts too deep

Killing An American

Just keep waisting
wasting all your precious time
Its so nice to spend a lovely day
watching faces
face to face with people you don't know
I guess thats why we show them everything
Don't go outside
You're so ugly in the daylight
and daylight's
Killing an American
Just stay inside
inside where it's safe and warm
You don't have to bother anyone
with information
Chickens running with their heads cut off
I guess that's why we give them everything
Don't go outside
You're so ugly in the moonlight
and daylight's
Killing an American

Her Head is lowered
Nowhere to run
Lights of the city
Color and burn
She'd bleed all night
If the shouting might
leave her alone
Take me anywhere
anywhere else
Mindful and measured
Moving along
Dust in his rearview
Clouding the sun
He'd drive all night
In the blinding light
He feels at home
Take me anywhere
anywhere else
and suddenly there was no more pain
the sky above
bellow you're in my shade
you can have the early grave
I'll stand here all day
I just want to bow my head and pray
Don't take me anywhere
I just want to bow my head and pray
Don't take me anywhere else

I’ve been on borrowed time as long as i can not remember
I burn on valentines and feel the cold of late September
and all the wild colors are shifting outside
all the while painting your face in the sky
I find it dignified to open up and feel surrender
division disappears and suddenly we all remember
that all the wild colors are shifting outside
all the while painting your face in the sky
all the wild colors are shifting outside
all the while painting your face in the sky
I don’t have anything
all the wild colors are shifting outside
all the while painting your face in the sky
all the wild colors are shifting outside
all the while painting your face in the sky
