We Burn
04:35
|
|||
Patience lost, tempers rise
We built these walls to keep this quiet
We burn
Fears and whispers spread like fire
They get out and they run wild
We Burn
We burn
We're all burned and we're all tired
We've lost our homes and our desires
We burn
Our minds are tender, can we decide
There is hope through the fire
We burn
We burn
Take me now

Aesthetics

If you feel like getting out
Get out
If you feel like breaking down
Break down
If you feel like you're alright tonight
Don't forget that you're on borrowed time tonight
Don't you get it why we close our eyes?
You're so aesthetic that it lulls our minds
Do you feel like it's enough enough?
Do you feel like you got it rough?
So rough
Do you feel like you're in touch?
A touch
Do you know why you're in such a rush to lush?
Don't you get it why we close our eyes
You're so aesthetic that it lulls our minds
Wake up and smile now
You don't get it
It's so poetic
I fall in love with your vacant eyes
I don't want to get stuck in this hole
I don't want to get stuck in this hole

Phoenix

Rise from the ashes
After we burn
Same old reactions
We never learn
Bridges we set on fire with words that we say
Rivers we drown in when we get in over our heads
I can't say this is what I planned
Or make this easy to understand
I reach for the stars with my hand
I fell short again

Silent Cries
04:24
|
|||
You have your documents
We have our common sense
You have your own pretext
We have our arguments
You say it's our defense
To live behind a fence
May I remind you you broke our lives
Silent cries and violent wars
Human nature takes its course
You have a bias tongue
And all the songs you've sung
Have all been meaningless
They gave our souls no rest
And now you want us to
Believe that what you do
Will give the whole world a better life
Silent cries and violent wars
Human nature takes its course
Silent cries and no remorse
Silent cries and violent wars

You planted seeds of doubt and watched them grow.
Then when trouble sprouts you act like you don't know.
Low, way low, way low down is where I go.
I've got a pretty smile and my eyes glow.
Sometimes I cannot deny it's all for show.
I've got it figured out, but I don't know.
And when it all comes crashing down, I guess I go...
Low, way low, way low down is where I go.

You take from the poor man
You take from him everything
Give it all to the rich man
Who doesn't need anything
We follow in their footsteps
Our children's children
Making the same mistakes
Iniquities of our forefathers
Transgressions staining our bloody hands
We serve up bitter fruit
We're jaded Americans
There's always more to loot
For jaded America
There's always more to take
We never make mistakes
We can't see what's at stake
More violence will follow
Politicians thriving on blood and oil
We sing for the sorrow
Left behind, buried in stolen soil
We manifest destiny
Shape the minds of the people we destroy
Repetition of history
But we still can't see the coming storm
We serve up bitter fruit
We're jaded Americans
There's always more to loot
For jaded America
There's always more to take
We never make mistakes
We can't see what's at stake

To Arms
02:51
|

Grab your own and hold them tight
You're in the middle, you have to fight
But do you know what side you're on?
Do you know who you are?
This world was built on lies
We're all victims of our own device
If you could just open your eyes
And see who you are
You've gone to far
Lead us astray
You can't hold us down
To arms
There is a war outside
You're in the middle, you have to decide
Is this a hill to die upon?
Do you know who you are?
This world was built on lies
You're all alone and it's no surprise
When it all comes tumbling down
You see who you are
You've gone to far
Lead us astray
You can't hold us down
To arms

The Tank
04:58
|

High above the clouds in the sky
There is still sun
There is still light
Heal me up
Before we wipe
Heal me with
Your sun, your light
This place brings back memories
Before I saw the light
The night I fell to my enemies
Now I return to fight

Take Down the Tyrant
04:44
|

Take down the tyrant
Don't let him live
When things get violent
We won't forgive
Within these walls we shiver
Behind doors of confusion
When these walls all shatter
We lie down and cower
Take down the tyrant
Don't let him win
When things get violent
We can't forget
Within these walls we shiver
Behind doors of confusion
When these walls all shatter
We lie down and cower
We watch terror rise
We are terrified
We all turn and hide
We must turn and fight
When the war ends
We will be friends again

Patterns

I see your face and I see patterns
I hope your right and it won't matter
Our lives are defined by disaster
There is no happily ever after
We fight and we die
We laugh and we cry
We have and we deny
We love and we survive
There are no tickets to paradise
You take your chances here, roll the dye
It makes no difference to run and hide
We see right through your disguise
We fight and we die
We laugh and we cry
We have and we deny
We love and we survive

Poltergeist
06:25
|

We built these houses
On the bones of forgotten tribes
Sucked right in
By the pull of your rotten lies
Lost inside a labyrinth
Of your mind
I try to walk towards the light
I try
