Revolutions Per Minute (2003)
"Black Masks & Gasoline"Simply because you can breathe, doesn't mean you're alive, or that you really live. this life has taken it's toll and she just doesn't know, how much more she can give But here, at the top of the world, where I raise my hands and I clench my fists, they stand before me below, demanding the answers with flips of a switch I don't understand where you got this idea, so deeply engrained in your head (that this world) is something that you must impress, cause I couldn't care less A need for revolution's rising, it comes to the surface, gasping for air, we're not putting up with this planet one more day much less one more year I don't understand where you got this idea, so deeply engrained in your head (that this world) is something that you must impress, cause I couldn't care less So here and now, in our rotting nation the blood, it pours, it's all on our hands now we live, in fear, of our own potential to win, to lose, it's all on our hands now And I have an American Dream, but it involves black masks and gasoline, one day I'll turn these thoughts into screams, at a world turned its back down on me I don't understand where you got this idea, so deeply engrained in your head (that this world) is something that you must impress, cause I couldn't care less "Heaven Knows"the day I learn to fly, I'm never coming down on perfect wings I'll rise through the layers of the clouds and from there I see the neon grids of cities and six million people that keep their fires lit I threw a party in my name but the hours crawled by and no one came so I bowed my head and I prayed for wings to take me from this place... from you I see myself inside you, you dream the dreams that I do, you're still searching for these answers, they're not inside your wrist and from there I see the neon grids of cities and six million people that keep their fires lit I threw a party in my name but the hours crawled by and no one came so I bowed my head and I prayed for wings to take me from this place... from you I close my eyes as the curtains draw, I thought I heard your voice but I thought wrong, 'cause you're not there anymore, no you're not there anymore and so I lift my chin and the show goes on, the sky is listening, the stars all sing along, but you're not there anymore, and I just can't care anymore "Dead Ringer"I never claimed to be something more than me, your standards, I refuse to see, I will answer only to myself, so why don't you police someone else the place I call home isn't there anymore, with boards on the windows and locks on the door, so pick up the pieces that never once fit, let this be the end of it once you held a place for me, but now that I've left you went and gave up my seat, don't expect me to share your visions of life, I'll take the my chances somewhere else the place I call home isn't there anymore, with boards on the windows and locks on the door, so pick up the pieces that never once fit, let this be the end of it give me the green light to get on with my life, pick up the pieces then roll the fucking dice I live in exile of you, your key no longer fits, because the locks on my life are new "Halfway There"is this the point where we give up? now is this the point where we give in? now is this the point where we turn ourselves in? or is this the time to ask questions? or is this the time to seek answers? now is this the time to throw it all in? when enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there when enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there you're halfway there that's when you know that you're halfway there this is the point where we stand up now this is the point where we take back the things that are keeping us from being free so when enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there when enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there your voice the airwaves sent you prayed my life would end, the wasted time I spent ashamed I called you friend, give me one reason, I need a reason give me one reason, I need a reason, one reason "Like The Angel"They turn the lights down low, In shadows hiding from the world, Only coming out when it gets cold The seas part when they hit the floor, The voices carry on and out the door And everything you touch turns into gold Like the angel you are you laugh creating A lightness in my chest, Your eyes they penetrate me, (your answer's always 'maybe') That's when I got up and left A beating heart and a microphone, A ticking clock in an empty home Still tells of these times so long ago, Even though I've come so far, I know I've got so far to go And any day now I'll explode Like the angel you are you laugh creating A lightness in my chest, Your eyes they penetrate me, (your answer's always 'maybe') That's when I got up and left And each and everyday will lead into tomorrow tomorrow brings one less day without you But don't wait up just leave the light on 'Cause all the roads that I might take will all one day lead back to you And like the angel you are you laugh creating A lightness in my chest, Your eyes they penetrate me, (never cease to amaze me) That's when I got up and left "Voices Off Camera"Can you hear the desperate cries that are calling out your name? Twisting your arms, holding out their hands and tugging at your sleeve Do you feel this underlying sense of urgency or are you as blind as me? I hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere now I can't bear the thought of losing, I dread the attention winning brings and ever since the day I came here I can stand without your strings I'm so sick of all these people but I'm scared to be alone and if this life has taught me anything I forgot it long ago And so I hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes Hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes The heart is something you can't control We either choose to follow or be left on our own So we're leaving here on a less-travelled road As desperate cries grow louder, I know we're getting close, getting close And so I hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes Hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes "Blood-Red, White & Blue"So come test me, so come break me So come on intoxicate me With hands tied behind my back I fight And wait for you to strike A new problem we cannot stop them We're outnumbered and uncautioned A rally cry rings out into the night So pride yourself on what you are And hold them all to words they can't take back I've seen a place (it comes) to me in dreams Where fires die but light still shines for us to see What did you have to say? Give me your logic, your definition The words you twist to justify your position Of mass starvation and blind airstrikes Every problem is solved with a fight Peace won't be found Till we're underground As long as we live without a sound So pride yourself on what you are And hold them all to words they can't take back I've seen a place (it comes) to me in dreams Where fires die but light still shines for us to see Would God bless a murder of the innocents? Would God bless a war based on pride? Would God bless a money-hungry government? Noooo! Would God bless our ineffective court system? God bless the sweatshops we run. God bless America? God bless America? (Noooo) "Broken English"our buildings have fallen, our walls all caved in, and we can't comprehend this sad state that we're in so we sift through the ashes of what we've become and surrender here one by one, so push us down and we get right back up again, the things you're telling me aren't making any sense, right back up again, I'm sick of wishing for someone else to come let the blind lead the blind, cause it's eye for an eye in your so called life, are you out there? are you listening? is there something we're still missing? let the blind lead the blind, cause it's eye for an eye, we all fall down and we get right back up again, the things you're telling me aren't making any sense, right back up again, I'm sick of wishing for someone else to come we're spinning out of control we're trying to find somewhere to land and I don't want you to know the things that keep me down cause we get right back up again, the things you're telling me aren't making any sense, right back up again, I'm sick of wishing for someone else to come "Last Chance Blueprint"(Jane, he's a freak) (Well then so am I) (And we'll always be freaks and we'll never be like other people) (And you'll never be a freak 'cause you're just ... too perfect) Late nights and bloodshot eyes, clock ticking half past five, we're barely breathing but we're still alive. Go! Our plans are all laid out, take all these unmarked roads, we blaze the trails to places no one goes, yeah! One last chance to go, if I don't leave tonight I never will, let's go! One last chance to go, let's take it now in for the kill In time we find ourselves, back where we started from, too weak to fight and much too tired to run, yeah! Before you swallow me into your perfect life, I'm not going out without a fight One last chance to go, if I don't leave tonight I never will, let's go! One last chance to go, let's take it now in for the kill (If I had to leave tonight would you come with me?) (What?) (If I had to go to New York, and live, tonight, would you come with me?) But this blueprint's faded grey and here it seems like just yesterday when we mapped out the details of our great escape, But still these roads all beckon me to uncover their mystery but I fall like dead autumn leaves and let the jetstream carry me One last chance to go, if I don't leave tonight I never will, let's go! One last chance to go "To The Core"If I could paint how I feel, I'd draw bullseye on your forehead my anger is not misdirected unless it somehow misses you Time spent on hate, is time gone to waste, I watch you point and click your life away So cast the stones that I'll gladly catch and I'll throw them right fucking back, I stand behind the things I say, you type the words you won't say to my face Time spent on hate, is time gone to waste, I watch you point and click your life away It seems you've let me go again, just like the day you let me in, the best of intentions, you were never mine to begin with So step away from the fucking screen, see a world outside your scene, maybe then you will know and realize the lack of threat you pose "Torches"On clearer days I can see the lights from my bedroom door, on windy nights I can smell the lake as it drifts to me from the shore the traffic lights silently change a thousand times a day but I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting And if my hand could block the sun, would we ever wake up? And if I turned back all these clocks, would that be time enough? I can't remember exactly when this longing began but I know it wasn't before the day you touched my hand, laugh and shout in blissful daze and numbers are exchanged, but I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting And if my hand could block the sun, would we ever wake up? And if I turned back all these clocks, would that be time enough? So put your hands where I can see them, and shut your mouth, I know who you are, in a world void of feeling or heart I know that we are the torches in the dark Let's break this down, let's make this count, Let's leave this one-horse town, no better time than now [repeat x2] The angels dance like feathers float, they're here to see and to be seen, the clock strikes two, the music slows and each one slowly dons their wings, once outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave but I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting And if my hand could block the sun, would we ever wake up? And if I turned back all these clocks, would that be time enough? Will we ever wake up? "Amber Changing"Information kept to myself and everybody wants to know, I trust the words of no one else cause I've been there before, Your voice is wasted 'cause I'm not listening These callused fingers are wrapped around a black ball-point pen, These eyes don't wander as far as they at one time did, I've seen the future, it's fading faster No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now I'm on the other end begging you, pick up the phone, A shaking whisper is answering, don't call anymore Your voice is wasted 'cause I'm not listening Freeze me in this moment, Thaw me in ten years, (thaw me in ten years) When the fire's burned out and the smoke (clears) No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now Let's just pretend Let's just pretend Let's just pretend, let's just pretend, Tonight will never end Let's just pretend, let's just pretend, Tonight will never end No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now "Anyway You Want It"[Originally by Journey] Anyway you want it that's the way you need it Anyway you want it She loves to dance she loves to sing she does everything she loves to move she loves to groove she loves the lovin' things All night all night oh every night so hold tight hold tight oh baby hold tight She said anyway you want it that's the way you need it anyway you want it anyway you want it that's the way you need it anyway you want it I was alone I never knew what good love could do then we touched and we sang about the lovin' things All night all night oh every night so hold tight hold tight oh baby hold tight She said anyway you want it that's the way you need it anyway you want it anyway you want it that's the way you need it anyway you want it | |
