Falling Down

i come around but i dont see ya
its kinda hard when your already gone
my eyes are numb
bloodshot and heavy
the voices silent but approaching me soon
hes got your name
hes got your number
just one more slip and he'll be dragging you on
i feel the pain
oh i see the answer
the voices ring out like the siren of song

chorus:
youre gone when you stop believing
when its hard to sleep at the end of the day
move on, dont try to get even
looking hard just to find a new end
cause its hard to die
when your already dead

just when cant quite remember
just when i cant quite recall
the day we met upon a cold december
the day we met and it started to fall

(chorus)

Nobody Wins At The Laundromat

when you think that you know someone
they claim to be your friend
a blackened wick is all that remains
when the verdict has been sent

with no legs left to stand on
no truth to call your own
like a tired soldier slowly dying
the gun that fired the shot was your own

now i see you lying in the bed you chose to make
backstabber
hows it feel now to live the life
i've always known was fake

trying harder just to realize
what the hell was goin on
i saw you in the shadows
dont you know im strong?

ive got my own intuitions
ive got my own beliefs
and when you try to toy with nature
youll be falling with the leaves

and now its all beginning
sail the ship you chose to build
you wont see me crying
washed my hands clean
and now i see you lying in the bed you chose to make
backstabber
hows it feel now to live the life
that ive always known was fake

Something's Wrong At The Playground

well grade school never meant that much to me
i started smokin at the age of 13
back of the class thats where wed hang around
but they could not bring us down
and now theyre on the run
little johnnys mad and hes got a gun
just kids having fun
you cant deny
no alibi
i saw you back when you were just like them
i know its true
chorus:
and we all fall down together
ashes to ashes as we burn this fucker down
on the merry go round the kids are learning
yeah theres something wrong at the playground.

well high school was just a holding cell for me
with no freedom as we learn democracy
spent most of my days in the back lot
a cherry burning bright but a future thats not
and now were on the run
try not to think a lot and just keep on having fun
no responsibility
you cant deny
no alibi
you were just like them i saw you back then
i know its true

(chorus)

Destro

i've got a thing about destruction
i've got an appetite for pain
i wanna watch it all just burn down
cause well this town's so lame
wanna see it all just float away now
wanna watch it all go up in smoke
we've gotta feed our new affliction
cause well this town's a joke

i gotta see you, when everything's gone

watch it fall
you watch it fall now
you watch it burn down
watch it burn
gonna take this city to the ground
watch it fall
you watch it fall now
you watch it burn down
watch it burn
gonna take this city to the ground

it's time to talk of revolution, get off your couch and start the fight
i like it when everything fucked up, cause well it feels so right

i wanna see you, when everything's gone

watch it fall
gonna watch it fall now
gonna watch it burn down
watch it burn
gonna take this city to the ground

in your home town

i've got a thing about destruction, i've got an appetite for pain
i wanna see it all just burn down, cause everything is just the same

watch it fall
gonna watch it fall now
gonna watch it burn down
watch it burn
gonna take this city to the ground

watch it fall
gonna watch it burn down
watch it burn
gonna take this city to the ground

S.O.S.

where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
i tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
whatever happened to our love?
i wish i understood
it used to be so nice, it used to be so good
so when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
s. o. s.
the love you gave me, nothing else can save me
s. o. s.
when you're gone
how can i even try to go on?
when you're gone
though i try how can i carry on?

you seem so far away though you are standing near
you made me feel alive, but something died i fear
i really tried to make it out
i wish i understood
what happened to our love, it used to be so good

so when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
s. o. s.
the love you gave me, nothing else can save me
s. o. s.
when you're gone
how can i even try to go on?
when you're gone
though i try how can i carry on?

so when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
s. o. s.
and the love you gave me, nothing else can save me
s. o. s.
when you're gone
how can i even try to go on?
when you're gone
though i try how can i carry on?
when you're gone
how can i even try to go on?
when you're gone
though i try how can i carry on?
