Ask yourself if this is odd
World without desire
Turn the page and close the door
And vanish in the fire

We live and burn with no concern
Like starving wolves at night
Destroyers of the univers
We live that night by night

I'm fuel to the fire
Flame rising higher
This is war

We we'll never be silent
Or divided
This is war

Burn your bridges as you go
And cut the safety wire
I'll lieve the dogs astray
So you resent the night

Let me take you across the ocean
Let me guide you to this war
The gods are on our trail tonight
Morning comes with a burning light
So hold your breath
Coz there they come

I'm fuel to the fire
Flame rising higher
This is war

We we'll never be silent
Or divided
This is war
				

When you're down on your knees and your hearts are broken 
We never let you down
When you hang by the rope and you're nearly choking

We're coming to your town 
I can hear the animals are calling 
Scream and shout
City's burning and the sky is falling Down and down 
The way that lead you into the dark 

Welcome to the audrevolution 
Sing sing sing so our constitution 
When you're blind and your fear and your hearts go colder 
We never let you down 
When the weight of the world is upon your shoulder 
We're taking you to town 
I can feel the holidays are coming 
Hold on tight Water rising and the levees breaking
Through the night 
The way they lead you into the dark 
(The way they lead you into the dark) 
The way they lead you into the endless night of darkness 

Welcome to the audrevolution 
Sing sing sing so our constitution 
Welcome to the audrevolution 
Sing sing sing so our constitution 
Welcome to the audrevolution
Sing sing sing so our constitution 
Welcome to the audrevolution 
Sing sing sing so our constitution
				

He is cool & pretty old school
he learned to read between the lines
& he carved the things he's seen
into his skin
They say he's been around forever
I'm pretty sure he taught the devil
to steal, and somewhere down the
line... they cut a deal

So let go of the things you never
seem to find
and the ones that will never be
around in time

It's only dirt when you're panning for gold
Let go of the things that never seem
to shine

Youngblood, you missed it by a second
this time.
It's only dirt when you're panning for gold

Youngblood, full of piss & vinegar
the flaming youth will be the death of you
So got tell the world the things you've seen
He made the good lord second guess
the things close to his chest
So don't start a fight
Cause his shoes are way too big
for you to fill.

It goes on & on & on ........ 
				

Hey Mary, you're quite a pretender
and I'm sure it's gonna get you far
You suited up and took em all to court
just to show them who's the goddamn star

You drive me out of my mind
pretty little sunshine
light headed, dancin' on the edge of the knife

Hey Jenny, I love your conspiracy
I'm sure they got a file on you
They tapped into your wire, and traced down
every single life you ever lead
They got you hooked on, nailed down,
locked up in a cellar... they pinned a number on you

See just because, you're paranoid, doesn't
mean that they're not after you

You blow me away 
				

Pack your bags, we're leaving town
We've got tonight to leave all this behind
The thing we started just got out of hand
We need to leave before I change my mind
This town have ghosts my dear
I feel their presence everywhere
They keep calling me to come back round
And all that I can say is that I'm on my way

Ooh, I know, I know, I know
We're getting out of the city
Ooh, I know, I know, I know
We're getting out of the city

I know you worry, I know you care
And people told me you looked everywhere
But these city lights have made me blind
There's no direction from where I stand
Oh my God I've been here before
I've seen this room, I've walked through this door
I know I promised you a better one
But every time I try, they make me turn around

Ooh, I know, I know, I know
We're getting out of the city
Ooh, I know, I know, I know
We're getting out of the city

Days they come and go,
I'm still here,
You know
One day
One day we'll fly away,
Oh I know, I know

Ooh, I know, I know, I know
We're getting out of the city
Ooh, I know, I know, I know
We're getting out of the city
Ooh, I know, I know, I know
We're getting out of the city
Ooh, I know, I know, I know
We're getting out of the city 
				

I don't need to write it down,
I've known these lines by heart for years.
But everytime I try they seem to lack a certain elegance.
Anyway I wanted you to know that I'll be staying in this year.
Cause I believe you're better off without me here.

I'm sinking
You're fading
This ship has been lost at sea.
I'm drowning
You're leaving
That's how it is

Treading water's never been a thing for me.

So long it's been a very good year
And I know it takes a lifetime to repay
All I ever wanted was to sail away
But I got caught up in the waves along the way

Thought I found myself
Had a bucketful and threw it all away
So long, it's all gone now.
This year, yeah, I spent it all.
I only did it to prove I could. 
				

Here I am
a man disguised to the unknown
I move around, unseen
covering my tracks
Break my bones and suck my soul
I'm coming strong on you one and all
Lay me down in a pool of rain
You'll get what you deserve my friend
I'm strong, so let it rain
I will never break down
I will never fade
Days like this
I walk silently weightless
Through where you are
I know, you have seen my reflections
I'm coming after you, for what belongs to me
I'm gonna find you, I'm gonna get it
I hear you laugh at me, that stingin' loud sound
It's ringin' in my ears, shakin' up all my fears
It's just a question of time before you figure you out & I'll be laughin' then
Laughin' real hard
I'll dig a hole in your wall of self righteousness
So when I'm coming down, I'll take it all with me 
				

Calm like a bomb, well it all took an ugly
turn when you walked in
Armed to the teeth, I'll be damned if I go
down without a fight
Armed with mistakes, I was chanceless and
went down before our second round
You walked in on me, so don't be so
surprised I ain't on top

Bring on your cheap tricks and all of your
knives, these bloodshot eyes have seen more
than one fight
Somebody told you they left me for dead,
well call off the search-team, 'cause I am still
here

Black-eyed and bruised, it's been years since
I was caught red-handed in this game
All in a day, I spent all my mistakes on you
my dear
Razorblade sharp it only took a minute to
walk over me
Brought to my knees I'll be damned if I go
down without a fight

You brought me to the end of my rope, you
pulled up a chair and you left me a note
Well I tangled along, but I thought you
should know, somebody left me for dead
				

"Hang on, I'll be back by Monday", you said. It's been days now, still not a sign from you.
So I wait here in the dark while sharpening knives, counting hours and crows to pass the time.
Waiting as the days are turning to years, I've been hanging out for so long, out in these desert hills.
And I sit alone here, I'm so tired of needing a ride, I've been wasting years now, and I hope you're feeling proud.
Down you go in a blaze of ashes and all I know is that you have been lying through your teeth.
There's always someone there who can take your place, all you are is just a little bit too easy.
And down you go in a blaze of dirt. "Hang on, I'll be back by Monday", you said. It's been years now,
still not a sign from you I've got miles left to go and I'm not in the mood for this walk, so I'm counting hours and crows 'til I get home. 
				

How did you do it, how'd you pull it off?
You left a fog of mystery
This is the story, story of the year
The greatest theft in history

I got tonight
You got tonight
We got tonight
Everybody's waiting for the night
I got tonight
You got tonight
We got tonight
Everybody's waiting for the night

They checked the surface, dusted it for prints
X marked the spot where you had been
I changed my story, misplaced evidence
Now I'm told that I was seen

I've been trying to do what's right
I've been working all my life
I've been doing what I'm told

I got tonight
You got tonight
We got tonight
Everybody's waiting for the night
I got tonight
You got tonight
We got tonight
Everybody's waiting for the night

Get the booty girl, put it in the van
Put your diamonds where your mouth is honey
If the give you up
Make them wish that they were dead, dead, dead

I've been trying to do what's right
I've been working all my life
I've been doing what I'm told

I got tonight
You got tonight
We got tonight
Everybody's waiting for the night
I got tonight
You got tonight
We got tonight
Everybody's waiting for the night
I got tonight
You got tonight
We got tonight
Everybody's waiting for the night
I got tonight
You got tonight
We got tonight
Everybody's waiting for the night 
				

Good God, it must have been the poison
that left a hole where my senses once were.
Someone should have seen this comin'
So tell your friends t keep their hands
where I can see them

I'm going nowhere
It's safe to say that I'm going nowhere

These bones of mine are dressed to kill
I traded all my absolution in for chasers
Blackout in the red room
and I still carry the scent on my fingers

I made myself what I am now
& I lost myself

Good God it must have been the poison
that left a hole where my senses once were

(We're hangin' out by the gallows pole.
We're hangin' out at the end of the rope) 
				

Tellin' lies as I look in their faces
I've got it all but I could always use some more.
And all these promises, that have been broken,
I know it hurt you, but you must have seen the truth

So you've been lookin' for answers baby
I never told you a thing
Still you keep searchin' like a dog on fire
Straight into your grave

You try to run though you knew that I'm faster
I tell you truthfully you'll never get away. 
				

What's your game? You wanna know. You wanna feel what ticks inside me?
Take a look, inside my head, inside my veins, run through my system!
Pin me down & look around & pick my mind.
Tell me what you find.
Find the fuse... & turn it off. Shut me down so I can catch my breath again.
Well it's not okay by me.
In spite of all the facts.
No... it's not okay by me.
I never said it was okay.
Break me down & bend my will until it gives, to see what happens if I fall flat to the ground, then would I bounce & come back stronger?
Or what if... consider this: I might be fake & overrated. Counterfeit. I hate to say: it's not for real but it's what keeps me breatin'.
And it's perfectly clear to me, that if I keep it close to me, what I embrace & hold so dear, in the end it will kill me!
